Editorial Room 686. Job Dept. 101 TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 27 DR. BRUMBAUGH'S SUPPORTERS IT was Inevitable that the campaign of abuse and vilification of Dr. Mar tin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for Governor, would cause r sharp reaction in his favor. Instead of being the choice of the alleged liquor interests of the State, who are giving no attention to any candidates save those who are running for the Senate or House, the Republican can didate is backed by thousands and thousands of good citizens of Pennsyl vania who believe in fair play. Hav ing submitted his name for the consid eration of the voters in the primary election, Dr. Brumbaugh is now dis- . cussing the real issues of the campaign In an able, honest way, Ignoring the mud slinging and slander of the little men who are arrayed against him. And having failed to assemble the religious and temperance voters of the State under the Democratic machine banner the Palmer-McCormick clique is now resorting 1 to every insidious scheme to deceive and befuddle the honest men of all parties who are rallying to the Brumbaugh standard. But it is too late. Mud slinging has utterly failed in this campaign, as it has in every other campaign, to in fluence the public mind. It has been pointed out over and over again that the real fight of the anti-liquor interests Is ir. the Legislature, but notwithstand ing this self-evident proposition the bosses of the Anti-Saloon League, ignoring every decent principle of fair ness. have centered their fight against Dr. Brumbaugh, who has made his position In favor of local option so clear that even a child may under stand. All the important metropolitan news papers agree that Pennsylvania js again safe within the Republican col umn. It is also indicated that there ■will be a large increase of Republicans in the next House at Washington. KECOKI) OF ACHIEVEMENT II is unfortunate that through what was doubtless misinformation or er ror in arithmetic, the Washington party candidate for Congress mis represented Congressman Aaron S. Kreider in the matter of his attend ance at Washington. Congressman Kreider's record for his first term has been one of splendid achievement. He has during the two years of his service in Congress won the respect not only of his own party but of the Democratic side of the House as well. As an in stance, when Congressman Kreider told Congress that it was necessary to make an additional appropriation for the post office at Harrisburg, Demo crats and Republicans at once took his word for it and passed the bill, al though it was the only one of the kind put through during the session. It is so very easy to disprove the as sertion that Congressman Kreider was absent from Washington two-thirds of the time and did not vote on Important measures that no sane man would knowingly be guilty of making the blunder into which Dr. Kreider has fallen. The Congressional Record shows that Congressman Kreider was preset and voted or was paired on every bill that came before Congress. This Is a record of which any man may well be proud. Dr. Kreider displays a woeful ignor ance of the facts when he says the resolution, for which Mr. Kreider voted, authorizing the President to use armed force to compel Huerta to comply with his demands, "would have plunged the country into war If it had passed." The resolution in ques tion was introduced at the request of the President and it was passed, and the country was not plunged Into war. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo seems at last to have awakened to the necessity of ceasing to create doubt about banking conditions. KKROItS OF THE BAIiIiOT SOMEBODY has asked, and quite reasonably so: "If Dr. Brum baugh is for local option why does his name appear on the Per ■onal Liberty ticket?" The answer is—for the same reason TUESDAY EVENING, HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 27.1014. that William Draper Lewis' name ap pears on the Roosevelt Progressive | ticket. Mr. Lewis didn't know his | name was there, that is all. He wanted j to get out of the race in favor of Mc i Cormick, but hts name is on the of- I ficial ballot because he was nominated Iby an obscure little party the very ■ name of which he was very likely ig norant. The same is true of Dr. Brumbaugh. He never knew his name was on the Personal Liberty ticket until the sam ple ballots were issued. And now he Is trying to get his name off. Here Is his own explanation of a trivial inci dent that his enemies, desperate in their knowledge of pending defeat, have tried to magnify into something of importance: I never heard of the party until on Saturday, and they had no au thority to place my name on their ticket. Had I been notified, as I should have been. 1 would have seen to It at once that my name was withdrawn. I have instructed my attorney to do all In his power to get the Secretary of the Common wealth to recall those ballots. "Billy" Sunday does not Intend that his language shall be distorted, lie has just sent a telegram stating positively that he is not opposed to Dr. Brum baugh. CANDIDATES AND ELECTIONS^ DR. BRUMBAUGH spoke a great truth when in one of his cam paign addresses the other day he said: "The man who does not show himself to be a gentleman when he Is a candidate will not be a gentleman after election." In the heat of a campaign you get the true measure of a man. If as a candidate he is upstanding and, as Billy Sunday puts it, "four-square for righteousness," he will be that kind of man in office. If he goes about slandering everybody who happens to be opposing him, spitting venom at every utterance, crying reform and scattering his money where votes may be purchased, he will be the same kind of a destructive influence in office. Which kind of a man do you want for Governor of this great State of Pennsylvania? Contractors on the River Front work are pushing ahead with ginger in the face of approaching cold weather, and it is probable that the last gap in the reinforced concrete steps, near the pumping station, will be closed this week. Meanwhile it is expected work will be started on the granolithic walk at several points in order that this fea ture of tha big undertaking may be completed before the real winter stops the work. TREE PLANTING WHILE the first Arbor Day was not generally observed throughout the city, it is not too much to hope that every effort will be put forth to have a gen eral planting of trees during the next few days. The Department of Parks has arranged to do considerable plant ing along the river and elsewhere and private property owners ought likewise to do their part in increasing the shade tree area of Harrisburg. The work of tree planting can be continued through November and pos sibly Into the early part of December. Fall planting is safe and often prefer able. Writing to the New York Sun on the subject of a good tree well planted a correspondent says: "They builded better than they knew" who planted those beauti ful trees more than a century ago upon the roadways in the older por tions of our New England States. How bare and forlorn and charac terless are many of our towns and villages for lack of trees. With what gainful interest despite the more serious aspect of the pres ent war do we read in the graphic accounts of your war correspon dents, who are astute and sympa thetic observers in such matters, of the destruction of the trees up on the roads and in the parks and wooded areas in the land where the ensanguined scenes are being en acted. • The roads in the territory intervening between Germany and France are excellent and in many parts have been notable for the beauty and attractiveness of the I roadside trees, carefully nurtured for generations and many of them grown to great size and character istic development. These in vast numbers have been .destroyed to meet the exigencies of war, for use as fuel, for temporary structures, shelters, bridges, and for general obstructive purposes, with cruel and devastating dis figurement over vast areas of a once beautiful country. In Vir ginia and other parts of the South ■ more than half a century ago the land was in like manner dismantled and scarred. It is worth while, therefore, to consider seriously the abundant planting of trees. In the city, not withstanding restricted opportu nity. the property owner is advised to plant trees; in the outlying bor oughs this opportunity is greatly enlarged, by reason of the existing rural characteristics. It commends Itself to the land owner since it materially enhances the value of his property at small cost. It is a worthy enterprise as well, as it benefits the neighborhood in which lie lives. A good tree well planted will pay its way tor all time. This correspondent and those who have given attention to the subject of tree planting realize how necessary it is for the congested cities of our country to plant more trees for the health and comfort of the people. Incidentally, the next important step which should be taken by the City Council is the creation of a Shado Tree Commission or, in the absence of such a commission, the appointment, under the control of the Department of Parks, of a warden who will look out for the trees and give them proper attention. Now that Congress has gone home, the voters have only to overthrow the Democracy next Tuesday In order to get back to solid ground in business and working conditions. AN EVENING THOUGHT There is a day coming In which God will bring to light every little hidden service of His children, and will let assembled worlds see the delight He has had in that which has met no eye, but which has gladdened the heart of our Father in Heaven. —J. Hudson Taylor. EVENING CHAT The street which runs along the eastern city line is probably the only one in Harrlsburg to be known by three names, and all three are used regularly. The street extends in real life through a part of Penbrook and then loses itself in the hills and comes to life a short distance south of BerryhlU out near the city line. When it crosses Derry street it marks the boundary between Harrlsburg and its daughter. Paxtang, and is officially Twenty-eighth street, colloquially it is Melrose avenue and traditionally It is Poorhouse Lane. You can tell the conductor to stop at any one of the three and you will win out. Speaking of street names, there are still some people who call Green Two-and-a-half street, although it is a quarter of a century or more since council changed the name from the clumsy "half" designation, and some who still talk of Seventh as Pennsyl vania avenue, or "the Avenue." Thirty years ago, when the "Hot Pot" rolling mllle and the car shops were in opera tion, "the Avenue" was a pretty lively place and was known by that name entirely. The use of the name Seventh on the trolloy cars did much to put the common name out of business. But even now you can spot the old resl denters by their references to "the Avenue." Then you know they are real old ones. If they suy Pennsyl vania avenue you know they are not so old. The use of the name Seventh street denotes a longing for the offi cial or modernism. One day not so long ago a man who had not been in Harrlsburg for longer than he cared to say came back and wanted to look over the city. He took some trolley rides, and .seeing a car marked with a big C, asked where it went. "Capital street," remarked the conductor easily. The man thought that was some new Idea, as when he left home they were think ing of calling Third street Pennsylva nia street and Fourth street Common wealth street. So he t<Sok the car. He went out Walnut, up Short into old Spruce, now called Fifth, then up North and thence into Capital. When he passed the Central High School he demanded of the conductor where he was going. "Goin' up Capital to Fourth," replied the astonished con ductor. "This Capital street? Gee, why this ain't a boulevard! This is old Elder street. That Fourth street you're talking about is what we used to call New Fourth street. This town's changing its names all around." It has been very noticeable that the first remark former Harrlsburg people make in coming back to the city is to comment upon the abundance of light in the streets. Fifteen years ago Har risburg was noted as one of the best lighted cities, but it rather lagged be hind and it was not until the last year or so that it woke up to the impor tance of better street lighting and the municipality began to keep pace with private enterprise, which was illumi nating store fronts and business houses in a way that made the city arc lamps swinging at the corners look like candles. Now Harrlsburg attracts at tention of visitors by its brilliance and the man who comes home is talking about it. While we are about it, let us not forget that in the street nomenclature of Harrisburg there continue the names of these highways, some of which, fortunately, exist on the map only: Bluebird, Hop, Prune, Pigeon, Cream. Turtle and Crabapnle. There used to be Duck alley, but they gave it up. There are three highways known as Howard, two known as For rest, two as Ash and some other duplicates, but just four highways named for counties of the State and two for Governors in the capital city of Pennsylvania. Selah. What an effect the moving picture show houses are having upon some of the streets about the city. These es tablishments which are in sections where lights were ordinarily put out after 8 give an air of life to sections of the city that would otherwise be quiet and have the effect of making neighborhood centers. There are some of these places which have family nights, when people living in the vi cinity are made specially welcome, a plan which is working out well for the management and also furnishes amusement for the people. People who have been away from Harrisburg for a year are apt to won der what has hit South Second street since the subway makers commenced work. That section of the city, the old fashionable part of the city, looks as though it had been in the line of fire in Belgium and the manner in which the steam shovels and donkey engines puff and smoke adds to the appear ance of some catastrophe. When the subways were built in Market street and in Front street a good bit was torn up, but South Second street passes anything that has ever been seen in Harrisburg. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Dr. W. C. Farrabee, head of the University of Pennsylvania Amazon expedition, has made some valuable finds in Brazil. —Congressman Warren Worth Bai ley spoke in a Johnstown pulpit on Sunday on the return of peace. —Jesse Johnston, the president of the Coal Mining institute of America, is arranging for the annual meeting in Pittsburgh. —Mr. and Mrs. C. Emory McMichael will return to Philadelphia from Massachusetts. I DO YOU KNOW? 1 That Harrisburg has one of the largest apron making plnnts In the State and that It sends goods to the Far West? McCORMICK RAIDS CHURCHES [Carlisle Herald] Imagine the morals of a man—a candidate for the high office of Gov ernor—who would even suggest to the ministers that they convert the pulpit Into a political rostrum, and the as sembly for worship into a Democratic rally! But McCormick, in his mad attempt to gain votes to further his political ambition, falters at nothing and even the cross at the door of the church does not deter him in his wild endea vor! And how accommodating! He even offers to furnish material for the ser mon, to press upon the ministers a mass of political literature in the fol lowing paragraph: "If you desire any facts upon the present issue, this office will gladly supply them to you." If any minister should even sug gest such a conversion of the pulpit into a political rosturm, and yet be pressed by official duties, probably Mc- Cormick would even be so obliging as to have one of his political agents, write the sermon for deliverance by the minister! M. G.'S BEST DEFENSE (Altoona Tribune) In the meantime the life work of Dr. Brumbaugh is his best defense against slander. . MACHINE'S RULES TURNED INSIDE OUT Judge McCarrell's Decision Shows Up the Democratic State Or ganization's Schemes The machine built up by McCor mlck dollars and Federal patronage jingled and Jangled In every joint last night as the result of the decision given yesterday afternoon by Judge S. J. M. McCarrell holding that the executive committee of the Democratic State committee had arrogated to it self powers not conferred by the pri mary act of 1913. Not since McCor mick and Palmer undertook the role of bosses and used the name of the people to cloak their moves, de nouncing better men and imputing shady motives to every man not ac cepting their dictation in party affairs, has there been such a terrific showing up as was given in the restrained lan guage of the judicial opinion striking ' down the legislative nominations of Walnut and Robinson, made for the people of the Seventeenth Philadel phia district by the Democratic State executive committee without consult ing the local committee at all. Judge McCarrell points out in his opinion that local self-government, home rule, was the foundation stone of the primary act of 1913, and that It gave to the people more power than they have had for many years. Yet, In spite of this the Democratic State committee acted as though it was the supreme authority of the Democratic party and adopted rules which it stretched to cover district nominations instead of confining them to nomina tions at large. In the careful ver biage of an opinion the judge says that the inside ring of the Democratic State machine acted as though all power began with it instead of the people. The whole action was an in vasion of the rights of the people of a district and every nomination of the kind made could be thrown off the ticket if time permitted suits to be brought. There was a pretty sad bunch about the Democratic State windmill last night when the news of the McCar rell opinion came in on top of the avalanche of Windmill predictions of Republi- Folks Are can success made by the Depressed big newspapers of the country, and gloom be gan to settle down upon the young men who were so confident twenty-four hours before. State Chairman Morris declined to comment upon the decision, which knocks the props from under his own pet scheme of fusion on Legislature or to talk about predictions. No one seemed to know when any estimates would be made at State headquarters, any more than was known when Morris would put out another fool statement about the Democratic slush* fund. It looked like the beginning of the route at the windmill. Democrats from every point for fifty miles around will be impressed to come to Harrisburg, and the Dauphin county Democrats will be lined up to make a showing for the Demo- Democrats cratic candidates at the Get Orders wind-up rally on Satur- to Line Up day night. To-night's Democratic meeting at Kelker street hall will be a sort of curtain raiser for the Roosevelt meet ing which McCormick Is said to plan to attend so that he may bask in the reflection of the man who is raking the President for whom McCormick says he stands. For weeks the Pa-Mc League has been holding meetings to get things lined up and there will be a great outpouring wfhen the Little Boss comes home Saturday night. Every nerve will be strained to beat out the Republican meeting on Wed nesday night. The Vare brothers gave the Market Square crowd an awful disappoint ment last night when In attending the meeting of the Repub- lican city committee in Vares t'rge Philadelphia these lead- Support for ers urged strong support tin; Ticket of the Republican ticket and declared that it would win. Notwith standing declarations by machine newspapers that they would break loose at Penrose, neither one said a word against him, but urged that the Republican ticket be supported. "In my thirty-two years of political experience," said Senator Vare, "no such man as Dr. Brumbaugh has ever been a candidate for Governor on the Republican ticket, and if every man does his best I forecast a Republican victory—a victory for the whole Re publican ticket—which will be one of the largest we ever have had in Penn sylvania." \jLl 1 >That^whate^^on^ofouTj^K IKm wr VVmmllm II 11 I I customers that wears a Dr. 90/ JL/JLJLVV/ v 1 -(ft-JL A aHIJL JL .O A.

MAN HAS ENOUGH To the Editor of the Telegraph: In 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt went through this State as the candi date of the Progressive party, he re ceived a great ovation and he received that ovation from the Progressives and a great many Republicans. Don't for get that then the Democrats claimed that Teddy was crazy and a fanatic, and now. in two short years, we see that same Roosevelt coming back into this State and urging the people to support one of the most pronounced Democrats In this State for Governor, and should Mr. McCormick be elected the Democratic press and the Wilson administration at Washington would pat you on the back and say that the Wilson administration is approved by the people. Being a Roosevelt sup porter in the past, there is one thing that I would like to know, who will be the people who turn out to greet him? Will they be Progressives and Republi cans, or Democrats? I think there is a way to find out. When Mr. Roosevelt comes into tills State let him denounce the Democratic administration at Washington just the way he did a few weeks ago in Louisiana, in Illinois, in Ohio and is doing now in New York. Let hir» denounce the Wilson adminis tration for wanting to pay hack to Co lombia $25,000,000 and which he claims is blackmail. Then you will know whether his audience is Progressives or Democrats. It is my belief that should he denounce the Democratc party when he comes to Harrlsburg he will receive hisses instead of an ovation. Nearly all Democrats are going to hear Teddv. They say he is great, and I Just wish to add this little bit. If Mr. Roosevelt, or those men who betrayed the Wash ington party, think that all Washing ton party men are going to support a blind Democracy, let them watch the election returns and be convinced. Ninety-five per cent, of all Progressives believe in a protective tariff and there is no Roosevelt or traitor to the cause who will convince them to support a tariff for revenue-only Democrat. The Democrats claim that William Draper Lewis did a patriotic act. hut there are thousands of Washington party men who claim that he is the big gest political traitor of the age. A PROGRESSIVE.

WINTER & CO. 23 North Fourth Street Plain Letters by a Plain Man Messrs. Vance C. McCormick and A. Mitchell Palmer, Gentlemen* A few days since a letter was made public, addressed by Presi dent Wilson to Representative Un derwood, highly lauding the work of the Democratic Congress during the past eighteen months. This is natural, for every act of Congress lias gone upon the record with the stump—"Made in the White House." No single piece of important legislation has had its origin In the bodies in which the Constitution of the United States lodges the law making power. As soon as one White House measure was passed another was presented with the edict—"This is the next law to pass." , . , A condition like this has existed under no previous administration of our history. . ... Never before have the legislative and executive departments of our Government been thus blended and their duties all centered in one Never befbre has the individuality of Congress been entirely lost and the mandate of the Executive been supreme. Is tills in accord with the theory of a free democratic government? Often during these eighteen months of continuous session thero was lack of a quorum in Congress. It mattered little. There was al ways a quorum In the White House where the business of Congress was done. , , Is it proposed to institute a simi lar radical governmental change in Pennsylvania should Democracy be successful in the State —to keep a Legislature in continuous session to register the edicts of a Governor on the throne? The plan would have its ad vantages—it would free legislators from all responsibility or accounta bility to their constituents. The ready answer to all complaints would be—"We did what the Gover nor ordered us to do." Was it with a view to tills new departure in the State's policy that the present Democratic guberna torial candidate was selected by President Wilson? This recent letter from President Wilson endorses all Democratic Congressmen for re-election. This "O. Is." branding from the White House has been the common thing. Several times letters have been made public containing the Presi dential announcement to the voters of some State that a certain speci fied individual is the proper person to elect to the Senate. Now the Job is a wholesale one. Any old thing is good enough to send to Wash ington, only so It Is a Democrat. Other qualifications immaterial. Former Presidents of our Repub lic have been satisfied to be the Chief Fxecutive of a great nation. President Wilson from the first an nounced, in 110 uncertain terms, that he was the leader of a party. That has been his chief distinction and pre-eminent glory. Does the Tnerging of a high ex ecutive office into partisan leader- ship augur well for our nation? Is there no danger in it? You have much to say on the stump about bosses. Would it be asking too much to request you to give some attention to this phase of bossism?
