I TRYING TO SQUARE ITSEIJF
, A DEMOCRATIC newspaper, dis
' /\ gruntled over the wholesale re-
X pudiation of its candidates and
their policies at the November
(•elections, publishes In a prominent
j place on its first page the following
l-quotation from the New York World:
Laying thousands of men off a
fortnight before election and tak
ing them back again a week after
election is a corrupt practice which
no law thus far devised is expected
to reach. 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

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.

ship Are Being Brought Into

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.

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

along this line was accomplished dur
