Yet it is worse than any Southern bulldozing and worse than open bribery. It seems to have been worked with great success in many places this Fall. This is so absurd that it is scarcely "■worth comment. The workingmen to ■whom the appeal is made know that it Ms not true. Byt for the benefit of any who may •be doubtful the Telegraph would like "to ask the World and its imitator to •cite one instance of a mill closed to 'lnfluence voters. We would like to •know, also, the names of the com panies that have put 'thousands" of men to work since election. To be sure, all kinds of industries are beginning to show signs of Im provement in trade. Two things are a-esponslble for this. In the first place, the Republican victory has brought President Wilson and his supporters at Washington to their senses, as their Tecent newspaper interviews indicate. There is to be no more theoretical, experimental business legislation. This has given heart to discouraged busi ness men. In the second place, the European war has reached a stage where the United States is beginning to feel the benefit of large orders placed here. But as for mills resuming full force the day after election that had been •closed before, all that is nonsense, and the newspapers that publish such rot ••cannot produce a single concrete ex ample to prove their assertions. We of Harrisburg enjoy many ad vantages that old John Harris never ■even dreamed about, but we envy him the ability to go to his back door and «hoot his Thanksgiving turkey out of a nearby tree. DON'T FORGET YOUR YOUTH WHATEVER you do, men, do not forget your youth. No man is fit to be a father who is not half boy. The other day we saw a little lad yanked out of a iiootball scrimmage on a back lot by a. father —beg pardon, parent—who '■dragged him off by the shoulder be cause he had dared "mix it up" a little ■with the other boys of the neighbor hood. That man was preparing to have his eon disobey him and then lie about it, for it is impossible to keep a healthy, active, normal boy out of athletic sports, and no father should attempt it. Do you remember how you longed ■for a football when you were a lad, and do you recall the glorious fun you had kicking the ball the neighbor's lt>oy owned ? If you have no memories of that kind you are to be pitied. If you have anil you deny them to your !<own son, you ought to take a long ■walk by yourself and think things over. There is something coming to 1 you. Let the boy have a football, if you can by any means afford it. Be glad "he wants one; that he is that kind of a hoy. The little namby-pamby chaps who never amount to anything in the -world don't care for such sport. It is the lads with red corpuscles in their arteries who delight to contend with their fellows and are not fearsome of a little rough and tumble play. It is about time for some paragrapher to repeat that pun about the Czar's army Russian toward Berlin. VISIT THE EXPOSITION MANUFACTURERS and dealers from all parts of the United States have entered exhibits of "safety first" devices and ma chines at Chestnut Street Auditorium, ■where they will be on display until Thursday evening. The show is the largest of its kind ever held in Harris v*>urg and one of the most complete 'ever assembled in the United States. There was a time when humanity •was regarded as the cheapest factor of industry. The employer paid no atten tion to the health or safety of his ■workmen. If one were killed or in jured there was always another to take his place. Mills were constructed with no thought for the men and women who would operate them. To-day all that is changed. Pure selfishness. If nothing more, has taught the employer the necessity of protecting the working forces. Of course, a higher thought has entered into the development of vgreat "safety flrst" move MONDAY EVENING, HARRTSBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 16,1014. ment, but from an economical view alone It Is worth the consideration of any employer who has not yet paid the attention to it he should. Men like John Price Jackson, State Commissioner of Labo* and Industry, have made the welfare of the employ* and the efficiency of the industrial establishment a life study. The con ference and exhibition here this week are for the purpose of promoting the ideas they have worked out Into prac tical form and of educating both work men and employers along those lines. The exhibit holds interest for every body. It should be largely patronized. Santa Claus must stand well with the Kaiser. German-made Christmas toys are arriving. WHAT A FARM BOY DID THE Ohio State Journal notes that Mearl May. a 14-year-old boy of Auglaize county, that State, by Ills own efforts raised 143 bushels of corn on an aero of ground. It is said the boy planted, cultivated and managed the entire enterprise. "How grand it would be for Ohio if it had a thousand such enterprising and persevering boys,"says the Journal. And we might add. how grand such a thing would be for Pennsylvania. But there are forces at work here that would keep farm boys of the age of Mearl May from doing any work on the farm. There are extremists who believe that the Legislature should for bid farm boys from engaging in just such labor as that in which young Mearl took such great delight, and from which he no doubt reaped health, strength and mental and moral uplift las well as a recoil crop of corn. It is right that every protection should be thrown about the boy and girl of tender years. The little folks called from school to work by the necessities of ill-fortune ought to have every ad | vantage the law is able to afford, but In our desire to do our full duty by them we should be careful not to overstep the boundaries of reason and common sense. Even a tombstone refuses to stand for some men. TRADE OPPORTUNITIES AS an example of the opportuni ties for trade expansion the European war has opened to us as a nation. Deputy Consul Gen eral Max D. Kirjassoff, of Yokohama, sends to this country a list of articles purchased largely by Japan from the countries now at war, exports of which have been cut off in large measure since hostilities began. Japan, he has already held an industrial ex position for the purpose of encourag ing her own people to begin the manu facture of these goods at home. We must hasten if we are to avail our selves of the markets lost by Germany, England and France. Germany, we are told, has hereto fore exported to Japan millions of pairs of cheap cotton socks, men's sus penders, pencils, scissors, gloves and certain kinds of cloth, while England has sold the Japanese immense quan- I tities of buttons, handkerchiefs, thread and wo'ol and cotton woven products. Russia likewise has dealt largely in cotton suitings for Japanese who have adopted foreign clothes, while France has sold Japan nearly all of its toilet supplies. In the light of these facts the wis dom of such a foreign trade confer ence as is proposed by the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce becomes at once apparent. We must first learn what is needed abroad, the qualities and quantities demanded and the methods of successfully reaching the new markets before we are in a po sition to compete for them. No, Maude, dear, the foot and mouth disease does not start with a sore corn. WHAT THEY NEED AN up-State congregation is quar reling with its new pastor and his wife—and can you guess why? Because the minister was seen recently on his own front door step "in his shirt sleeves" and his es timable wife so far forgot the dignity attending upon the exalted position of mistress of the parsonage as to respond to a ring of the bell without pausing to remove her gingham apron. For these grave offenses the pastor and his helpmeet are in disgrace with a large faction of the congregation and it is hinted that they will have to look for another charge. Can anything be sillier than church members quarreling over such triviali ties? A minister of the gospel is only human, despite his high calling, and doubtless he enjoys the freedom of an occasional period of "coat sleeves" quite as much as do the men among his parishioners. And as for this "gingham apron" offense —how many housewives in the congregation have not done likewise? Possibly Mrs. Minister would have been able to greet her visitors all togged out in the latest fripperies had the church paid her husband a salary large enough to per mit her to buy them and hire a serv ant. For ourselves we suspect that this congregation does not desire a min ister and his wife. It ought to try employing an English butler and a French maid. No doubt their man ners would be letter perfect. SENSIBLE SUGGESTION THE suggestion of Professor Sur face, Btate Economic Zoologist, that Pennsylvania farmers give up trying to compete with those of western States in the production of wheat and turn their attention to mar ket gardening, fruit raising and kin dred pursuits is excellent indeed. It is doubtless true that there are isolated districts of Pennsylvania where it is more profitable to raise grain than garden truck and where fruit culture is not advisable for reason or another, but these are the exceptions rather than the rule. In such localities the farmers might well give thought to poultry, stock and hog growing. But Pennsylvania has a vast popu lation that Is constantly crying for more and more vegetables and fruit. We do not now produce more than a' small fraction of the amounts of these prdoucts in our own State, notwith standing that there Is a substantial and ever-growing profit in them. In stead we try to make our farms earn dividends as great on wheat as those earned in the Welt, and we wonder why we fall. Pennsylvania ought to be one great garden spot. In that direction lies the future prosperity of our farming population, and those wh<> come earliest to a realization of this truth will profit most. 1 EVENING CHAT I "The common ordinary every-day hog is one of the best cleaners up of bugs and grubs and worms and can really help get ground ready for ploughing better than any other ani mal," remarked State Zooolgist H. A. Surface to-day in talking about the plague of worms and grubs that has afflicted Pennsylvania this year. "I do not think that the farmer realizes what a valuable animal' the hog really is. He knows he yields a lot, but I think that people ought to study the way a hog will go through an orchard or a field. This summer I turned some hogs loose in a patch of ground that had some pests and I took note of the way they acted. The hogs soon found that there were grubs in the ground right under the turf and the way they went after them convinced me that the grub must be a very toothsome thing to the pig. The hog can clean up a piece of land better than a flock of chickens and orchard owners who turn them loose will find that they are of much service. This year In addi tion to the army worms I have heard that white grub and cut-worms have been worse than for a long time. We have been carrying on a series of ex periments to get rid of the white grubs, which have been especially an noying to owners of lawns and which have been reported as destroying grass on a doze"h golf links." State Game Commission officials think that the number of hunters' li censes issued this year will run just about the 805,000 total which was issued last year and that there will be fully 400,000 persons hunting this vear, the difference being farmers and members of their families who are al lowed to hunt on their own property without licenses. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus. the secretary of the commission, says that it is not only the sport and fresh air that is valuable, but It gives a knowledge of fire-arms and a sense of self reliance that Is valuable train ing for anyone, especially at this time. An enterprising dealer in automo biles gave Third street a treat and himself an advertisement in a unique manner on Saturday. This man hap pened to have a string of half a dozen or so cars and they were taken up Third street like a train Heing hitch ed together. Each car had a man at the steering wheel or rather at the "honking horn" because such a racket has not been heard in a long time. The noise attracted regular crowds. The football game on Saturday had the usual night result and the weather permitted more outdoor celebration by the students than was the case last year when it was more or less of an Indoor sport. The students and their bands paraded the streets and as the evening wore on indulged In concerts which became varied with the passing hours. Toward 11 the orchestras tour ed the central streets in automobiles and gave selections which were well meant, but wierd In execution. One automobile trailed the police ambu lance with its musicians playing "Lead Kindly Light." Late as it seemed to be, some wheat was planted in this county last week end and farmers are trusting that there will be a few more weeks of open weather so that they can plough up com fields. The open Fall has en abled a lot of work to be done and the manner in which things are being prepared for a busy year on the farms is well worth noting. There is no lack of "help" because men out of work who know something about work on a farm have been able to aid the farm ers and to keep themselves going. Judge J. C. Work, of Uniontown. who was here attending a meeting of a State commission a few days ago, is orphan court judge of Fayette county and one of the oldest judges of that branch of courts in commission. The judge is a student of reformatory problems and is serving on the com mission to establish State institutions. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —J. E. and A. L.

MACHINISTS ARE SITTING TIGHT No Disposition About Democratic Windmill to Let Anyone Else Come in to Boss PALMER HAS NOT RETIRED More Candidates For the Speaker ship Are Being Brought Into the Field Now No disposition to extend olive branches or to receive overtures for peace appears to be shown about the headquarters of the Democratic state committee in this city and notwith standing the terrifis defeat given to the party after a widely hearalded "reorganization" the men in control of the machine are inclined to "sit tight" and build up in the hope of get ting somewhere during the presidential election. The present management of tho party is secure until another State committee is elected, which will not be until 1916, and therefore State Chairman Roland S. Morris will re main in office until that time unless he should resign or the party be "re organized" by the aid of the guillotine again. At the State headquarters It is not admitted that there is any possi bility of Morris resigning and no signs of any one appearing with enough money to finance a "reorganization" are above the horizon. The people at the State headquarters claim that Morris can not be disturbed for eigh teen months or so and Intimate that if the Ryan or Guffey men want to come back into the fold they can do so, but that there is no chance of them being given any of the high seats. At State headquarters it was declar ed to-day that the report that Con gressman A. Mitchell Palmer would re tire from the State leadership or re sign as national committeeman was "news." The story is that Palmer is to succeed Secretary of the Interior Lane or else be appointed to the dis trict bench, which has been out some time, and that he will quit and allow some one else to assume the sorrows of patronage distributor among the hungry Pennsylvania Democrats. The Philadelphia organization plans a single paid council instead of the present two bodies. In some respects it will be like the second class city councils. Congressman W. N. Carr, defeated for re-election in the Fayette district, is threatening a contest. He is the only one who seems to feel badly about the result. The others are content to take their medicine. D. Clarence Gibboney is being groomed for mayor of Philadelphia. Republican leaders have determined to add to the legislative program, in cluding workmen's compensation, agri cultural conservation, good roads, economy and efficiency, labor laws and other things, an amendment to the uniform primary act which will pre vent a man from running on mori. than one ticket. Candidacies of vari ous parties have been gobbled up reg ularly by men of opposite faiths in some places and fusion movements forced by ambitious leaders because of the manner in which nominations have been taken. It is said that an amendment is be ing considered which will force fights into party lines so that the issues will be well defined and the voter also re lieved of tho burden of having to scan several squares behind the name of a candidate. Some of the candidates for State offices this month appear to be find ing difficulty In getting their sworn statements In form. They have been sending them to the Capitol half com pleted and in one instance not attested by oath. "Big Bill" Adams, the Luzerne legis lator, says he is not a candidate for Speaker except that he would like a complimentary vote. State Chairman William E. Crow in a signed statement made for the Phila delphia Ledger says that there is no dapger of the Republican party going on any spree now that it has won a great victory, but that the State can look forward to good legislation and a fine administration. Gossip that W. H. Connell, chief of the highways in Philadelphia, may be come Highway Commissioner is going the rounds again. It would be interesting to obtain the comments of one George W. Guthrie, aforetime chairman of the Democratic State committee and spoken of as a candidate for Governor many times before he was shunted into the am bassadorship at Tokio, anent the re cent election in Pennsylvania. At the time he was named there was gossip in political circles that he was being gotten "out of the road" before the 1912 campaign started. Resident Clerk William S. Leib will not have to be elected to his plac£ in the House as much this coming session as he was last year. For a time elect ing Leib resident clerk was a popular Monday night diversion, as those familiar with its details recall. Chester county Bull Moosers art< said to be arranging matters so that they will be taken back into the Re publican fold and get a share of the nominations for county offices this next Fall. A similar situation exists in other counties. Horace W. Schantz, the first Repub lican senator ever elected from Le high. was the original Brumbaugh man in that county; has six children;' goes to church regularly and was Repub lican county chairman when no one else in Lehigh would have the Job. He was defeated four years ago by Sen ator Miller, whom he defeated this month. Walter J. Christy, writing in the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, mentions Representative A. C. Stein, of Pitts burgh. as a speakership aspirant, and Intimates that .Tames F. Woodward is not very keen about it. He says that Henry I. Wilson, who came hack In Jefferson, also has aspirations. That makes six in the field, the others be ing W. H. Wilson, of Philadelphia; R. J. Baldwin, Delaware; R, P. Habgood, McKean, and George W. Williams, Tioga. FARMHAND SHOT IX LEG Special to The Telegraph Sunbury. Pa.. Nov. 16.—Frederick Cook, a farmhand, was accidentally shot in the leg by Cyrus Ramsey, who took a shot at a rabbit while he was in range. TWO DEKR KILLED Special to The Telegraph Blain, Pa., Nov. 16.—A number of hunters camped in the western part of the county have been quite suc cessful. Two large bucks were taken down on the train on Saturday, shot by Benjamin F. Kell, of Loysville, and Alfred li. Bryner, of Cisna Run. DAUPHIN STANDS HIGH ONTHE LIST The Way It "Came Back" Is Being Pointed Ont to Some Other Republican Counties REHABILITATION TO COME State Chairman Crow Will Build Up Some Organizations :n In terior Counties None of the counties of the State stands better in the list at the head quarters of the Republican State com mittee in Philadelphia than Dauphin and according to men active in the Republicans' triumphant state organ ization to-day it is a county which will be pointed to as an example for others. Dauphin "came back" in a way that has made It commented upon all over the state. Notwithstanding it was the home of a rival candidate and that unusual efforts were made in organ ization and in creation of sentimept in his interest, the big Republican vote rolled up when Erie, Susquehanna and some other hitherto shining Repub lican counties returned small totals has resulted In it being singled out for favorable mention. There is a shake-up coming among the Republican organizations in a number of the counties, but it will not hit Dauphin. It will be pointed to as one to follow. In speaking of the contemplated re organization, or, rather, rehabilitation, the Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says: "William E. Crow, chairman of the Republican State committee, following conferences with Senator Penrose, has decided to begin at once on a State wide movement to strengthen the Re publican county organizations. "Senator Penrose, in his eighteen months' convassing for re-election, and Chairman Crow in directing the recent campaign, got in touch with local con ditions in every section and gained valuable information. They purpose to utilize this knowledge to overcome factional differences, to enlist new men in every quarter and to prepare imme diately for the next campaign. " 'My aim,' said Chairman Crow, 'will be to encourage increased activity in the cause of Republicanism among representative men In every locality. Where the party has suffered from in difference or county committeemen, or others who have been looked to to get out the vote, new men will be encour aged to enlist. Where there have been factional differences efforts will be made to get the warring elements to gether for the general good. Much along this line was accomplished dur ing the late campaign, particularly in western and southwestern counties, and it is proposed that this work shall f OUR DAILY LAUGH | v__ How She Felt About Them The Limit You are surely He isn't very J not afraid of stout, ghosts?
