RACK OF THE GOVERNOR
EVERY day demonstrates that the
public sentiment of Pennnsylva
nia is behind Governdr Brum
baugh in his tight for local
•option.
Movements begun in various cities
to publicly express opinion on the sub
ject arc among the most interesting
events of the time and when the his
tory of this session comes to be written
it will be found that the people took
a hand in legislation without employ
ing any high sounding phrases. They
are now demanding local option, and
the liquor interests, which have op
pressed legislative methods by their
crude ideas of procedure, are face to
face with a courageous Governor and
an aroused State.
Tne people are back of the Governor
and men who vote against him will
have hard sledding when they run
again.
NO PATRIOTS LEFT
APPARENTLY there are no
patriots left in Mexico. The
country seems to be at the
mercy of contending hands of
liandits, each intent upon furthering
liis own selfish interests, regardless of
the rights or the welfare of the com
mon people.
More and more apparent it becomes
tliat the condition in Mexico is hope-]
less. Intervention of some sort in the I
end will be necessary, unless by some'
miracle a leader shall be produced who
speedily will become master of the
tremendously involved situation. Yet
never was there a time In the history
of the United States when its citizens
■were more reluctant to resort to armed j
force for any purpose than now. No
body. not even the most enthusiastic
jingoist of a year back, would support
a proposal that might bring us into
open conflict with Mexico. Possibly
some sort of international exposition l
like that sent to China to break up
the Boxer rebellion will solve the prob
lem. although it is ditflcult to see how
Europe could enter such an agree
ment short of a declaration of peace
on the continent.
It is a sad commentary on modern
civilization, our own boasted love for
freedom and our really very splendid
record of intervention in behalf of sup
pressed peoptes, that such a state of
rapine, murder and anarchy can be
tolerated for a moment at the very
doors of the republic whose watch
words arc freedom and fair play.
THAT TARIFF REPORT
SECRETARY REDFIELD reports
that the tarifT has had no ef
fect on the industries of Mont
gomery country, the manufac
turers of wnien complained of hard
ships placed upon them by the Under
wood law, but at the same time he
admits there are more than 1,000
people out of work who were steadily
employed before the new tariff law
went into effect and that the mill®
have not been running up to capac
ity.
These conditions were brought
about by "injurious trade customs"
and "unintelligent competition in some
lines," he says, it so happens that
most of these industries are of the old
established variety, industries that
had grown and prospered throughdut
the years since the last disastrous at
tempt of Democratic tariff tinkerers
almost ruined them. One wonders why
it is, if the change in the tariff has had
no effect on them, that they managed
. to keep steadily in operation with full
working forces and reasonable profits
for their owners ail this time. Why
was it, one may be fairly entitled to
ask, that all the effects of "misman
agement" and "unintelligent competi
tion" were withheld until the enact
ment of the Underwood law. This is
a question mat apparently did not en
ter into Secretary Redfleld's calcula
tions, for ne makes no attempt to ex
plain.
The easiest thing in the world to do
is to criticise the other fellow's af
fairs. The industrial "expert" is
somewhat on a par with the "expert
Iwitness," he frames his testimony to
lault the purposes of his client and
|re,aches any conclusion he is employed
ito reach. The Montgomery manufac
turers as a whole are known the coun
!try over as shrewd, enterprising men
of exceptional business ability. In
deed, some of them have been accused
of a too closeattcntlon to profit-making.
That being true, it does seem strange
that they would not have discovered
long ago the leaks upon which the
government agent laid his hand the
MONDAY EVENING,
moment he took over the rather largo
task of passing upon the industries of
a whole county in little more than a
month.
Probably the expert was in such a
hurry to lay his findings before the
Secretary that he neglected to tell
the manufacturers how they might go
about remedying the evils he found,
and so get their mills back on full
schedule and the hundreds of idle
people to work. At any rate the. news
paper reports do not indicate that he
paid much attention to what the
Montgomery manufacturers might re
gard as a rather important phase of
the investigation.
The whole report is palpably what it
was designed to be at the outstart—a
whitewash for the Underwood tariff
law, but the job reminds one of a
newly caleimined fence after a Spring
rain.
MUST PROTECT ITS OWN
WHILE it may work a hardship
upon some people in New
York and upset the methods
of transporting cattle from
Chicago to the seaboard, the policy of
the State Livestock Sanitary Board to
protect cattle from further danger of
infection by the foot and mouth dis
ease is entirely justified. Pennsylva
nia has suffered to the extent of pos
sibly $2,000,000. first and last, from
the cattle disease brought into the
State from the West. It has taken
the most rigorous methods of stamp
ing out the plague, and when ship
ments within certain areas inside of
the State are interdicted and 110 cattle
can be brought into Pennsylvania from
Chicago for home consumption the
shippers and the railroads are asking
that they be allowed to ship through
the State. The State Livestock Sani
tary Board, of which the Governor is
chairman, holds that such shipments
would carry danger of infection and
refuses to permit transstate move
ments.
It is to the everlasting credit of the
Pennsylvania Railroad that it promptly
acquiesced in the order, although it is
losing hundreds of cars of shipments
a day by so doing. Three railroads
operating through Erie county have
openly flouted the State nnd twenty
four hours ago were shipping cattle
right across the lake county into Xew
Yorlc.
The Governor now proposes to stop
such shipments. He has authority to
do so. The disease prevails in sections
of Erie county and it is part of the
police power of the Commonwealth
to prevent any movements that en
danger Pennsylvania people or prop
erty, It may be unpleasant for New
York and expensive for shippers, but I
the protection of the State conies first.
TIIE MOTORCYCLE SHOW
THE motorcycle and boat show
that opened here Saturday night
for a week's exhibit is some
thing netv in the life of the city.
Only a' few years back the motorcycle
was in a doubtful state of experimen
tation. To-day it .is a machine of
standard manufacture and widespread
use. It has opened to the man or
woman of means too limited to per
mit of the operation of an automobile
possibilities of enjoyment in the open
they never knew before. All outdoors
is at the disposal of the owner of a
motorcycle and he is able to cover
heretofore unheard of distances in the
brief space of recreation time at the
disposal of the average man. Its uses
in business are extensive and grow
ing. It is in the infancy of its develop
ment, strong, sturdy and dependable
as it now is.
The effect of the river dam anil
the proposed improvement of the river
at this point on the outdoor life of
the community is also reflected at the
exhibition. Formerly there was little
or no use for the motorboat in Har
risburg. To-day the gasoline driven
craft has become so popular that
dealers are exhibiting it as a part of
the motor show.
THE SOUTH AM) COTTON
NORTHERN* business men who
are dependent in some measure
on southern trade report that
the South is in the linan
cial dumps over the prospects of be
ing unable to dispose of its cotton
crop next winter, it has been unable
to sell much of the cotton grown last
year and sees little use In piling up an
other surplus which growers feel sure
will knock the props from under
prices when the world begins again to
use American cotton in its usual quan
tites.
It would seem as though last year's
disaster should have taught the south
ern plants some lessons in the peril.?
attendant upon putting all their eggs
in one basket. The time is past when
the. South can grow cotton only and
grow rich thereby. Years arc bound
to come when cotton prices will £ai;
to an extent sorrowful in the extreme
to the man dependent upon cotton for
all his profit. *
There is good sense in the recom
mendations of the United States
Department of Agriculture that the
South turn some of its attention to
caltle production. The section south
of the Mason and Dixon line can pro
duce more cattle and produce them
more cheaply than any other section
of the whole country, for the lands
here are still cheap, the grazing is
good, the pasture season is long, feed
can be produced at a minimum cost
and inexpensive shelter only is re
quired.
While slavery existed in the South
cattle, hogs and sheep were to be
found aplenty on every plantation,
and on most of them there were very
good beef animals. At that time the
South produced all of the beef, pork
and mutton that was needed to supply
lis own demands. It was only after
the Civil War and the opening up of
the far western country during the
period of Southern readjustment that
the South lost its old time prestige in
this respect. Now the time will soon
be ripe for the swing back and the
Southern farmer who takes advantage
of present conditions to "grow stock
will profit largely thereby, particularly
so since modern methods are able to
turn some of the by-products of cot
ton into a very fair grade of feed.
1 EVENING CHAT 1
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh's
first official dinner since he became
I governor of Pennsylvania is likely to
jbe a "dry" altalr. The dinner is to be
; given this evening in the historic Exe
cutive Mansion in honor of the judges
of the Superior Court nnd while noth
ing has given out about the least,
it is understood that it is to be a splen
did dinner, but that wines or cocktails
will not figure. The Governor has pro
nounced .deas on temperance quite
apart from local option and he is prac
ticing what ho preaches without re
j gard to precedent in the official home
!of the governors of the Keystone
j State.
| Introduction of the child labor bill
| In the State House of Representatives
and the publication of the provisions
of the proposed workmen's compen
sation act have caused all records for
the receipts of mail at the Capitol to
jbe broken. It was bad enough last
we«k when the shower of letters and
cards on the proposed lull crew law re
peal began and legislators received
i hundreds a day, but the new subjects
i have caused a fresh lot of mail matter
I while that relating to the full crew act
shows signs of increasing instead of
diminishing. The mail matter is now
(taken to the Capitol in wagons.
agons have been used for years for
collections, but now the mall is 30
heavy that it is no longer possible for
legislative attaches to carry it to the
"Hill" in a couple of bags. The let
ter boxes in the lobbies of the two
chambers are choked with mail and
some of the legislators are just dis
covering what it is to be in the line
of fire for letter writers. Quite a num
ber of members have frankly declar
ed that It is physically impossible for
them to even acknowledge the letters
sent to them, to say nothing of the
circulars, post cards and form letteis
coming to them, asking support for
or opposition to some measure. Sev
eral of the older members who have
made it a point to answer all letters
have been furnishing stenographers
with lists of names and sending form
letters and say that even this plan is
a serious tax on their time to say noth
ing .of the hundred dollars' worth of
stamps which the State provides. Oth
ers who came here with the idea of
spending all their time in Harrisburg
and letting constituents know they
were on the Job assert that they are
getting writer's cramp replying to the
homo folks.
The sudden deep snow caused don
ens of crows to fly into the outlyinjr
districts of the city for Sunday dinner
yesterday and some were seen in
chicken yards disputing with the fowls
over scraps of food. The crows have
had an easy time of it this winter as
the weather has been open and they
have been able to exist without much
trouble in the lieids. The snow of Fri
day night and Saturday upset all their
calculations and numerous crows were
to be seen in vicinity of Reservoir Park
and along the riverside road with their
eyes on the houses nearby.
The orders issued by the Adjutant
General's Department each month
show that service in the National
Guard is being considered as highly
meritorious hy many of the men who
formerly held commissions. They are
applying for positions on the retired
list which carries with it. permanent i
rank and also establishes for all time
the fact that the officer was in the
service of the State. Some of the best
known former guardsmen are now on
the retired list.
Governor Brumbaugh has been in-!
vited to speak in old Paxton Church I
next Friday night when the James j
Boyd Bible class will have its annual
supper and meeting. ft will be the
Governor's first visit to the oldest
church in this part of the country and
a stalwart outpost of Presbyterianism
before the French and Indian war.
Between the legislature, the Super
ior Court, numerous hearings and
meetings at the Capitol and the State
Editorial Association and similar
bodies there will be plenty doing In
Harrlsburg this week. Probably more
visitors will be here, than since inaugu
ration week.

HARRISBUFG TELEGRAPH
MORRIS GRASPS AT
LOCAL OPTION LAW
Sees Opportunity to Make Himself
i Heard of in Legislation During
the Session
PALMER ANGERS MEMBERS
Democratic Effort to Make Capi
tal Resented Among the State
Lawmakers Now
Rolund S. Morris, chairman of the 1
Democratic State committee ami a
chieftain of the discredited and de
feated faction that has bossed the ma
chine for a couple of years, has seized
upon the local option tight to "come
back." It is doubtful if he can suc
ceed, but ne proposes to make an ef
fort.
—Morris is expected to be here in
the next few days to lend his efforts
to get the bill passed and due pub
licity will bo (tiven to his movements
Seeing that there is p.n aroused public
sentiment without regard to party for
local option the Democratic chairman
is going to butt Into the situation
with his half dozen members and try
to make a noise in order to show that
he is still alive. Contributions to li
quidate the party debts will then be
asked again.
—Some of the Democratic members
of the legislature are resenting'the ac-I
tion of A. Mitchell Palmer in asking
them to vote with the Governor on
local option, declaring that It Is an as
sumption of leadership which has
nothing to do with local option. Pal
mer's letter is not couched in gentle
terms and some of the Democrats who
are opposed to Palmer and all he
stands for in the Democracy were air
ing their views 10-day.
—The Philadelphia Press to-day
says:
"A plan for the appointment of
a State commission to investigate
the whole liquor question in Penn
sylvania and recommend a method
of dealing with it to the next
legislature, should this session
fail to settle the problem, is re
ceiving serious consideration by
the political leaders. The plan,
of course, is based on the possi
bility that Governor Brumbaugh's
local option bill may be defeated
despite his threat that he would
go into the home counties of the
members who voted against it and
campaign against them when they
come up for re-election.
"Those who have beon closely
in touch with politics place little
stock in the threat to recall the
local option bill from the law and
order committee of the House at
to-night's meeting, and Senator
McNichol's statement on Satur
day that such a thing would be
inadvisable is regarded as the
linal word on the subject just now.
The' significance of withholding
action on the bill until later in the
session,is emphasized by the new
suggestion that a commission in
vestigate the problem.
"It is proposed that the com
mission be appointed by this leg
islature much after the manner In
which the Compensation Commis
sion was appointed at'flie last ses
sion. The commissioners would be
directed to make their report to
the Governor on conditions as they
found them and to make recom
mendations for the proper action
which shoud be taken. This would
give the opportunity for a thor
ough examination of the whole
situation, it is said, and would
bring every side of the question in
to the foreground so that it could
be judged fully by the people.
The recommendation of Ihe com
mission it is argued coud be put
up to the legislators before they
are elected for the next session
and the Governor might then re
quire that they commit them
selves to these recommendations
as being a fair solution of the
problem."
—The Philadelphia Public Ledger
to-day gives the result of a poll of the
State Senate in which it is shown that
23 senators answered questions by
statements that they were in favor
of suffrage, 3 opposed, 3 noncommittal
and IS declining to answer. It is gen
erally believed that suffrage will pass
the Senate.
—The effort of friends of ex-Con
gressman Robert E. Lee, of Schuyl
kill, to make him subtreasurer at Phil
adelphia is to be renewed at Wash
ington to-lay. Palmer has backed
John P>. Evans, of Pottstown.
—Miss Jeanette Rankin, president
of the Montana. Suffrage Association,
is coining here to help get the suffrage
resolution through and may take part
in the Fall campaign.
-—Ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart pre
sented a flag to the Calvin Presby
terian Church at Philadelphia last
night.
—Governor Brumbaugh and mem
bers of the Republican platform bill
committee will get together at the
Executive Mansion to-morrow night
for discussion of various bills. The
conservation act will probably be
taken up.
—Bitter fights over post offices have
been started in a number of sections
and the Democratic bosses will have
troubles of their own settling them be
fore a meeting of the State commit
tee is called.

I LETTERS-TO-THEEDITOR i
CONSISTENCY
To tl'.e Editor of the Tetegraph:
Dear Sir: Consistency is greatly to be
desired.
I call attention to a few matters in
Harrlsburg which may or may not
have become public property.
The present Alter plant, with its large
smokestack, was built on the island
opposite the city without any protest
from the owner of the newspaper which
is wailing over the proposed coal wharf
on the Island .
The owner of the newspaper which
is fussing most about the River Front
fill is interested in lowland in South
Harrlsburg which is being filled up
without expense to him. In other
words, lie is getting the benefit of free
dirt and objecting to tlie city paying
for any dirt in that part of Front street
where he is not interested.
The same newspaper proprietor nois
ily proclaimed his belief in local option
when he was a candidate for Governor,
but we have not seen any effort to help
by word or pen or inspiration tho ef
forts of the man who defeated him to
obtain the same local option the afore
said proprietor advocated last Fall
, PRO BONO PUBLICO.
TRAINMEN'S DVTIES
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In reply to a letter in the Telegraph
on March 1, I would like to ask this
question:
What did the shopman, as Ihe letter
was signed, try to tell when he wrote
that letter?
What does he know what is required
of a trainman while on duty'.'
He knows as much about the train
man's work as he does about Wing
| Dinger's job.
1 suppose he and other people, who
never think of railroads except when
going away, or are expecting some
thing by express or freight, think
trainmen have nothing to do after the
train leaves the yard, but ride in the
caboose or on the engine.
If he and his friends who think the
same way will go away from the rail
road yard, out along the mainline,
they will see that the trainman is at
his post and is not out for a joy ride,
night and day.
He will also remember that several
years ago. I say three. I do not just re
member the exact number, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company posted no
tices that all brakemen must ride out
on the trains. If the railroad com
pany posted those notices they cer
tainly thought the men were of some
use out on the train, even though the
engineer did all the applying of the
brakes. He no doubt thinks that when
a train leaves the yard it does not stop,
at any place except for coal or water.
It may be he does not think that far.
Half the trains that go over the road
never run straight through without
backing off cars and picking others up.
Suppose on a train of sixty cars there
was ony one brakeman and the crew
had orders to pick up cars on the rear
of their train. The engine and the
cars to be picked up nearly one-half
of a mile apart around a curve.
The shopman has said the cars have
automatic couplers. Automatic coup
lers do not always work. In backing
against the cars the automatic couplet
becomes jammed or the knuckle refus
es to close, the lock will not drop and
at. last the drawheads become crossed
or miss and the car is shoved sideways
off the track, over on the next track
into or in front of another moving
train. This accident could have been
saved by having another man to pass
signals instead of this one man crawl
ing up and down over these cars eight
or nine times trying to get a signal to
a man one-half ». mile away, and at
the same time, trying to do work that
