OCT. 29 PINCHOT SLAMMED THERE are still some Bull Moose voters in Harrisburg and this section who will read with mingled feelings of disgust and resentment this statement by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General James I. Blakslee while in Harrisburg yester day: A. Mitchell Palmer is the only nominee of any party in this State who can and will carry the com mission of the people of Pennsyl vania Into the United States Senate without a protest. Having tirst been sold out to the Democratic candidate for Governor, the honest third party men will be tickled to death to know that Pal mer. who refused to get out of the way for Gifford Pinchot, "Is the only nomi nee of any party in this State, who can find will carry the commission of the people of Pennsylvania into the United States Senate WITHOUT A PRO TEST." So the Democratic machine is not only going to protest against the elec tion of Senator Penrose, but will also kick on Mr. Pinchot in the event of liis election. We suspect when the vote shall have been counted next Tuesday night it ■will be found that most of the third party men have correctly interpreted the Democratic proposals and abso lutely refused to pull the Democratic chestnuts out of the Art. Good evening. Dr. Brumbaugh. Com pliments of the voters of Dauphin county with the assurance that you are perfectly satisfactory to them and will be tendered an even greater reception •when you return for the Inauguration. PROVIDING EMPLOYMENT AFTER an exhaustive inquiry in to the number of unemployed persons In Pennsylvania at this time, John Price Jackson, the Commissioner of Labor and Industry, suggests that the cities of the State should not only establish employment agencies, but as far as expedient un dertake public }works as a means of affording relief. This is precisely in line with the argument that has frequently been ad vanced by the Telegraph In favoring an active prosecution of all public •work as long as the weather will per mit outdoor operations. Officials of the Department of Labor and Industry have discovered that the number of unemployed is very large and that the prospects of improve ment are not encouraging. It has also been learned that new construction work ha.4 been started In a number of the cities, such as street paving, sew ers and similar undertakings, with a view of relieving the deplorable condi tions. During his investigations in Europe this summer Commissioner Jackson made a study of the industrial situa tion. He states that in several of the countries public work is being pushed as an outlet for unemployed labor and strongly urges the cities of Penn sylvania to adopt this course. It is pointed out that where new paving, «ewers or water pipes are to be laid, It is probably as economical for the city to proceed with the work at once and thus make available opportunities cf employment for those who have teen forced into idleness. It is creditable to the authorities of Harrisburg that they have adopted this policy right along. Even now the lieads of the reveral departments are energetically forcing the outdoor work •and will continue to do so as long as •weather conditions permit. It is prob able that the work on the river front, the construction of pipe lines by the Department of Public Safety, the in stallation of new sewers, the work on ■ Paxton Creek and the grading and planting of the river slope will con tinue for some weeks and every man (■who can be employed ought to be given the opportunity to work. It Is also fortunate that the rail roads are going ahead with their big ■undertakings in the southern section of the city. Referring to Commission er Jackson's conclusion?, It has been 'suggested that by reason of the fact that a man does not produce when (Idle, the unemployed are a direct IOM. and it In altogether THURSDAY EVENING, HARBISBtJRG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 29, 1914. probable that prompt action of the character suggested would not only bo a means of alleviating suffering, but would also be a natural economy. It would seem possible for a muni cipal, county or State organization to arrange their public works in such a way during times of depression as to provide for a large proportion of un employed. Comm.ssioner Jackson, in his talk before the Federation of Pennsylvania Women in Pittsburgh, made the state ment that the municipalities of the State might well Inaugurate a plan for bringing the unemployed and the em ployers of labor in contact with each other. This will not fully overcome the distress, but will be a step in the right direction. It is much more important to keep the willing workers of any city em ployed on public undertakings than to encourage relief agencies that would not be so necessary should such a policy be adopted. \ The busy little mud-silngers of the j Democratic machine have almost ex hausted themselves in their final ef forts to besmirch the able candidate of the Republican party for Governor. But like all such campaigns, the mud has only soiled the hands of those who threw it. CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE IT is pleasing to note that through out all America tl.ere is running the spirit of Christmas —the desire to' spread happiness on Christmas day throughout the stricken homes of Europe. Already.several shiploads of clothing, food, toys, etc., have been accumulated and will soon be sent to the unfortunates In Europe. Chicago, New York, Philadelphia are the head quarters of that noble effort. What a great thing it will be for those mothers and children, made husbandless and fatherless by the dreadful war, to find on Christmas they are not forgotten, but that the greeting on that great day will be full of cheer and plenty. And then it will be known that the children of America have sent this visible message of love to the unfortunate ones. It will be the flower of Christianity and it will do more to unite humanity than all the literature and diplomacy ever brought out. It will be the gospel of good will, the only gospel that will ever unite the nations in the holy bonds of peace. In the presence of this happy influ ence, a dreadnought is a blood-curd ling shriek. Mr. McCormick's eleventh-hour pre tense of friendship for labor has still further alienated the common people. UNUSUAL BUT PRAISEWORTHY THE heroine of this tale is to be married this month and she will make a good wife, there's no doubt about it. When bride and groom move into their cozy flat, they will have a hand some outfit of bedroom furniture all paid for by savings made by the young couple during that usually expensive period between the engagement and the wedding. And this is the way it ca*ne about: For a while the young man's desire to do everything lie could to entertain his fiance In the customary style was uncurbed. There were auto rides, theaters and after theater suppers, flowers and candles galore—Just the kind of lavish attentions that would quite turn the head of the average girl. But this was an unusually sensible girl. So very soon she took her fiance aside and said to him: "George, I've had enough of this ex travagance. Hereafter I'm going to take the will for the deed almost every time you propose some expensive 'stunt.' You're to give me the money you were planning to spend and I'll put it into this little metal bank and on the first of every month we'll take it to the bank and deposit it In our fund to buy furniture with when we start keeping house." Of course, George fell in readily with the plan and they really got as much pleasure from saving in this way and anticipating the purchase of things to add to the comfort and at tractiveness of their future home as they formerly had in wasting money on a temporary "good time." And the substantial result is that they have about J3OO more in the bank than they otherwise would have had on launching their bark upon the matrimonial sea and they did not give up all good times either, by any means. How many girls in the enchanting blue and gold days of their engage ment think beyond the sunshine of the present? It Is hart? to be calculat ing and practical when cupld is in the offing, when pulses bound with youth and hope and romance is a real and ever present thing. But the girl who meets up as a bride with a lot of costly presents and a bare home will be not nearly so huppy in the long run as she who helps her lover save his pennies when he is inclined to be recklessly extravagant. KIESS WILL WIN THE Willlamsport Gazette and Bulletin Is making a stiff fight for the re-election of Congress man Edgar R. Kless who, two years ago, in an overwhelmingly Democratic year, defeated William B. Wilson, who has since become Secre tary of Labor In President Wilson's Cabinet. The Fifteenth Congressional District thus won unique distinction at the same time that it was redeemed to the Republican column after being represented in Congress for six years by a Democrat. The Fifteenth district is a strong protection district and there seems to be little doubt of Kless' success. The Fifteenth district voters will certainly serve their own Inter ests by re-electing him. He made an exceptionally good record In the Leg islature and an equally good one In | the Sixty-third Congress thus far. not withstanding he is a minority mem ber, and deserves re-election by a sub stantial- vote, which the Telegraph believes will bo vouchsafed him. i EVENING CHAT I The phrase "going home to vote" is so commonly associated with Capitol Hill that the average person probably never realizes that there are far more persons who transact business or have employment in Harrisburg who go back to their homes to cast ballots in November than there are people on Capitol Hill, counting in those who live in this city. To begin with, there are many people who work in this city whose homes are in nearby counties and who go home on Sundays and on holidays, considering that the olil home is the place and keeping it as their voting residence. There are also many traveling men who have head quarters here who vote in other p&rts of Pennsylvania and altogether it would be surprising the number of men who are apparently part of the dally life of Harrisburg and who are yet legal residents of other places. It is well known that a large proportion of the people on Capitol Hill are resi dents of this city, that is, the male officials and attaches of the State gov ernment. There are many more who happen to be women and who do not vote, but there is a goodly number who live and vote here. Chestnut Street Hall, which ten years ago was never thought of for political meetings, has come into its own as the place for big gatherings and the Courthouse and the Board of Trade are now back numbers. The hall is said to be the largest in this part of the State and the chances are that this week it will have three of the largest crowds ever assembled under its wide girders. The Republicans last night had the biggest meeting ever held in the place and the Progressives are holding forth to-day with Theo dore Roosevelt as their drawing card. Saturday night the Democrats will have their time. The decision of Judge McCarrell in the nomination cases had a funny side light. It scared candidates In half the legislative districts in the State and the way telegrams, night letters, day letters, ordinary letters, notes and missives, to say nothing of telephone messages, have been pouring into the Capitol asking if everyone will have to get off the ticket has been astonish ing. One man said that he did not want to be ugly, but felt that he ought to get official notice to get off. as the printers would not take off his name without judicial action. He was told that he had not been contested. The percentage of people fooled by a carefully wrapped package on a side walk Is very small after all. A couple of messengers boys figured that out last evening when they put a shoe box. filled with waste paper and fruit skins, on the pavement in Third street near Market. The box was wrapped and tied as though it had just come from a store. Nine out of every ten people simply looked at it and passed it by. The one stopped and fingered it and one man out of twenty-five gave It a kick. The box stayed on the pave ment for fifteen minutes and no one picked it up. "Penn," writing in the Philadelphia Bulletin on the profuse and indiscrimi nate use of titles, especially in cam paigns, says: "General Thomas J. Stewart, one of the best men. in fit ness. that have ever held his office at Harrisburg, as adjutant-general, is nevertheless slightly suggestive, in his title, of the practice of some people who are fond of such things when they Invest an attorney-general or a post master-general with the rank of gen eral, as if they were military officers. General Stewart, however, does bear an active and regular relation to the military life of the State. As usual, Martin G. Brumbaugh is prefixed 'Dr.' —a title which came to him legiti mately in his degrees. But as used by men who are not either physicians or clergymen, it is so often a misnomer, and sometimes so ridiculous, too, as compared with the paucity 'of their moral and intellectual status or their public achieveYiietit, that some - men on whom It has been conferred pigeon hole it, or, when proffered to them, decline It altogether. Governor Tener, for instance, has shown good sense in refusing It three or four times when informed by colleges that it would be bestowed upon him; in that regard he manifested more of a sense of the fit ness of things than they did. But in the case of Brumbaugh, if he shall be come Governor, the 'Doctor' will prob ably drop gradually from Ills name in both popular speech and the newspa pers, as It has almost entirely in the past year or two —save some facetious little twist here and there—from the name of Woodrow Wilson." 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Dr. J. William white, the Phila delphia surgeon, forwarded s6r>o for the Belgian relief committee this week. —Captain Percy H. White, of Lock Haven, has been elected president of the Seventh Cavalry Association. —H. P. Hartley, of Beaver, has re turned from a trip to Europe. —Ex-Judge Dimner Beeber, of Phila delphia, has returned from a visit to Connecticut and is occupying his town house in Philadelphia. I DO YOU KNOW? 1 That Harrisburg Is one of the big scrap iron distribution centers of the State? A FLAW IN THE PRIMARY LAW TFrom the Philadelphia Bulletin.] Dr. Brumbaugh's pledge, in his statement repudiating the rump "Per sonal Liberty" party ticket, that If elected Governor he will demand the enactment of a law making it abso lutely Impossible hereafter "for any man's name to be placed upon a ballot without his written consent," is in line with a clause in the present primary law which requires that every candi date before the primaries shall file with his petition for a place on the ballot a statement indicating his con sent to be a candidate. But, through an oversight, the last Legislature, which passed the act. failed to require that the consent of candidates must be obtained before their names could be lawfully used on nominating pe titions circulated after the primaries. The law ought to be made clear on this point, so that there could be no misunderstanding or misrepresenting a candidate's standing or alignment politically. To leave any loophole of the sort is to encourage chicanery and maladroit manipulation of party col ums and nominations. While ft may be necessary to permit the creation of new parties to meet emergencies, care should be taken to see that they are not founded in false pretenses or allowed to use any man's name with out his specific authority. In a State as large as Pennsylvania It Is not surprising that there Is oppor tunity to create nondescript or mug' wump tickets Intended solely to serve a single interest by deceiving or mis leading the voters In the various dis tricts. and the chance to do this with out the full knowledge and acqui escence of every 'candidate concerned ought to be made remote. $2.50 —WASHINGTON' AND RETURV—S2.SO Sunday.

An ideal Sunday out ing under Ideal conditions.—Adver tisement ■SOS EXPECT raw MONEY Think That They Will Share Lib erally in Output For the Cam paign, Despite Talk DEMOCRATS GETTING SORE Do Not Like Shutting Off of Sup plies; Registration Is Heav ily Republican Now Adherents of the Bull Moose In this county were in a State of dismay to day through Intimations that the sluice gates of the McCormick slush fund would be put up on the Washington party as well as the Democrats. This coming on top of the statements by William Fllnn's close friends, that he did not Intend to dump tens of thou sands of dollars into the Pennsylva nia campaign as he did ih 1912, made the followers of Roosevelt, who are after public office as keenly as the Democrats, feel very blue. Democrats in this city, who are used to McCormick methods of cam paigning, are plainly puzzled at the tips given out from headquarters that there is to be no flood of dollars, and insist that it is all a bluff to eliminate certain fellows that McCormick's In side gang want to keep away from whatever credit may be given for the vote in this county. The Harrisburg Democrats have been asked by men all over the State whether it is really true that McCormick has shut down on dollars or whether it is just a bluff. The Washington party men who have been sitting aronud waiting the golden stream ever since Fllnn clamped McCormick on their ticket, are wondering what has caused the change of heart and do not believe that it is true. In order to make the bluff go better some of McCormick's friends, with his knowledge, of course, have put out all over the State yel low cards offering $50,000 Is rewards for arrest OlTercd in of any election Rewards Now crooks. The word ing is strikingly like that so often used by the Patriot whenever McCormick wanted to pull off anything in Har risburg. It Is said that $50,000 has been raised for the arrest of crooks, which will be sad news to some of the Democrats who were hoping that the money would be used for "ex penses." The placards offering the rewards are authorized by the Paimer- McCormlck Committee of One Hun dred. John K. Royal, Harrisburg's supposedly nonpartisan but really bitterly partisan Mayor, is signer as secretary. With the passing of Theodore Roosevelt back Into his own State, Pennsylvania political campaigning will become local ized. The fighting will be in the cities. Campaign To-night the Repub- localized ilean candidates will From Now On attend great rallies in Philadelphia and in Pittsburgh and other cities big Re publican meetings will be held. The Democrats will also commence to con centrate. McCormick, thoroughly alarmed at the strength of Brum baugh throughout the country dis tricts. is going into the Cumberland valley and York county. The Demo crats have given up all hopes of mak ing any impression in Philadelphia, the frosts at the McCormick meetings last night showing plainly that the people are for Brumbaugh. The at tempt to switch temperance people to McCormick has also failed and there is a general breakdown of the whole McCormick campaign, which Is all the more astonishing when it is consid ered that Roosevelt has been urging him. The Republican State committee has Issued a statement of registration in the State showing that 718,419 per sons have registered as Republicans, 356,- Rcgistration 835 as Democrats, Very Heavily and only 74,168 as Republican Washingtonians. The Prohibition registra tion has dwindled to 13,274 and the Socialist strength is but 29,293. The figures show a Re publican gain of no less than 445,059 over the vote of 1912. The Demo crats have actually lost over 38,000 since 1912 and fallen back over 17,000 since the first registration this year. The figures of the State committee show the extent of the disgust with the Wilson Administration and that the people are "next" to the pretend ing of Palmer and McCormick. The Dauphin county registration 13 given as Republicans, 13,220; Democrats, 6,071: Washington, 1,847. In Alle gheny the Republican registration is 115,542 and the Democrats 20,062, and the Washington only 6,004. In Philadelphia the Republican registra tion is 180,000, Democratic, 24,000 and Washington 16,000. No wonder Mc- Cormick is mad at himself. POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —Wonder If McCormick's alleged refusal to furnish unlimited dollars to Democratic workers is to enable him to give more to the Washington party coffers. —Also, wonder if McCormick's con tributions to the Washington party State committee will be as big as hlB contributions to the Democratic ma chine. —State Chairman Morris has not yet said how much of that sf>2,ooo he admitted the Democrats had raised had been given by the McCormick brothers. —The Philadelphia Inquirer says that McCormick must have been dis appointed at the meetings held for him in Philadelphia last night. —Palmer did not go very well In Allentown last night. He tried to explain the tariff. —Judging from some of the argu ments advanced in the Right of Way, a sheet put out for political pur poses by men refused the right to tear up State highways with big traction engines, some one must havo Inter fered with their desire to have the right of way. —"A nonpartisan" meeting will be held to-night. Jim Stranahan and Art Bupley will be among the speakers. —D«an Lewis must also be in the "woolly lamb" class. It will be re called that the dean did not know he was on the Roosevelt Progressive ticket, although nominated last May, and that his name appears on the ballot. —Judge Brumm must also be a "woolly lamb" because he did not make an affidavit to his "withdrawal" as Bull Moose candidate, and Is still on the ballot. —lncidentally, Judge Brumm may also be called a "woolly lamb" be cause he tried to make an affidavit over a long-distance telephone. —Senator Penrose spoke with old time lire Inst night.

A PLAIN ISSUE [Philadelphia Inquirer] A strenuous attempt has been made In Pennsylvania on behalf of the Dem ocratic and Flinn combination to be cloud the issue. The candidates have striven to draw the attention to the public away from the conditions that confront the nation because of Demo cratic experimentation with it. And no wonder. Near-free trade has played havoc in Pennsylvania. It can not be defended; its dismal results cannot be explained away. There is no excuse to be offered for the failure to give employment to everybody at high wages; no excuse for the increas ing cost of living. And so the candi dates of the Republican opposition have tried to escape condemnation by resorting to personal abuse, to falsifi cation of the basest sort and to the meanest of innuendoes. Nevertheless, the Issue is as plain as day,. The President has made it so. His Cabinet members have made it so. Secretary Bryan so declared it In his Brooklyn speech. The adminis tration has driven its theories through Congress in the shape of laws. Its belief Is that these laws-—low tariffs, antiprotection, additional direct taxa tion—are wise and Just what the country has been Jo.nglng for. And the administration parades its legislative triumphs and expects of the publicy that it will indorse them by its votes. In brief, the lines are drawn be tween Democratic policies and Re publican principles—between near free trade and protection—and there is no escape from this direct issue. Either the Democratic administra tion will«be upheld, or it will not be. Either Pennsylvania and the other States will sanction the work of the Democratic Congress, or they will vote to block further legislation of an ex perimental nature by supporting Re publican candidates. If it is desirable to put an end to Democratic control there is precisely one way to do It—defeat Democratic candidates and elect Republican can didates. There is and can be no oth er. PAI.MER AND DISJiEH PAILS [From the Mercer Dispatch.] A. Mitchell Palmer, Democrat and free trader, who aspires to a seat in the United States Senate and "thanks God for Wilson," declares there are no hard times in Pennsylvania. He told a Mer cer audience that he made the state ment with authority as he had traveled thousands of miles through the State and had seen the wheels of Industry turning and the smoke of mills and fac tories ascending. However, he likely changed his mind since visiting the Shenango Valley, where only three out of fourteen furnaces are in blast and thousands of men are out of employ ment. If he has not, when the votes cast on election day are counted he doubtless will admit that there is one section of Mercer county at least In which the tariff and full dinner pails are very live Issues.

Mitchell Palmer, Gentlemen: It Is to be presumed that all ten der-hearted people sympathize, to some ex-tent,, w.ith you and your Democratic party In your troubles. But you brought them on vour selves. Perhaps, you honestly thought you could govern the na tion wisely and well. But you have failed—lamentably failed. The Democratic party's sphere is the destructive. It is great at tearing down and producing chaos. Any one can do that. It requires intelligence and wise statesmanship to build up, and the lack of those qualities has caused the failure of the Democratic party now; has al ways caused its failure in the past when Intrusted with power. And then the nerve of the thing! After making a dismal failure In the nation, you want to spring the same sort of Incompetent govern ment on our dear old State. .And then you have other troubles! In the hope ef capturing a few votes you have been trying to stretch the donkey's hide over the Bull Mooße skeleton, and the thing will not work. During all the years of his Presi dency and since, your orators and vour newspapers have followed Colonel Roosevelt with unsparing abuse. Now, in the hope that he may have some faint words of ap proval for one of your candidates, you are ready to beslobber him with praise. Here Is what he said of your party and the Wilson administra tion in a speech made during his very recent Louisiana tour: "It is out of the question that the old Democratic party, wedded to outworn principles of govern ment, and dead and burled economto theories, can never do real good. North or South. The Democratic Here They cgs^H s2°So' "^ IXeS **° Are Boys! The Original Boy Scout Shoes EX C E L S I O R Boy Scouts ar e the orig- inal scout shoes. They will outwear two pair of or dinary shoes. Just the kind the boys need. Well made of specially tanned Elk leather —soles fastened so they can't come off. They are soft and fit perfectly. The greatest bov's shoe ever sold at the above prices. JOS. F. SHORB 300 A Market Street party which has possessed absolute power In Washington for the last two years, has shown not the faintest symptom of a real understanding of the needs of the people. It has done nothing whatever for labor and Its actions on the trusts and the tariff have shown that It Is not fit to run the Government." And here is what he said In a formal statement given out at Oys ter Bay, June 25, of the present year: "The handling of our foreign af fairs by President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan has been such as to make the United States a figure of fun In the international world. It will be a grave wrong to the re public, a reflection upon the honor of this nation in the past and a menace to its interests in the fu ture if this Colombian treaty for the belated payment of blackmail is ratified at Washington." It was ratified at the command of President Wilson. Can you expect the admirers of Colonel Roosev-elt to vote for you representing "out worn principles" which he em phatically condemns, which their own platform emphatically repudi ates? In alluding to some of the in numerable Democratic vagaries at Washington, the Philadelphia Ledger said recently: "Deliver the land from the tribe of blather skites.' It will be done, and the intel ligent men of the Washington party will contribute their full share in the work. Think you the flirtation with the Bull Moosers is a paying one? Nay, verily, it is not.
