The Republican party doesn't need any saving. It is perfectly capable of sav ing itself. 111-advised leadership or the gratification of personal wishes or de sires in the party may cause dissatis faction among the rank and file, but the party itself, as has been amply shown in tho past few years, can and does come through any emergency In tho right spirit and at the right time. The career of the Republican party, an institution born amid the passions and misunderstandings incident to Civil War, has been upward and ele vating, and its course always has been distinctively constructive. True, there may have been times when Its progress ■was not rapid enough to meet the views of a great many of Its members. flout with changed or chastened leader ship in command the word "Forward" always has been emblazoned on its tanner. Every party, every organization, cor poration or association must have leaders, and if the present leaders of the Republican party feel that the re cent overwhelming return of the voters to the party standards means that the people will accept quietly any pro gram which has for its object the pro tection of any special interest or the neglect to provide welfare legislation lor the many, they will find themselves In the position of the pompous drum major who attempted to lead his band where It would not go. Far-seeing Republicans, of whom Governor Brumbaugh in our own State is a conspicuous example, have sensed the spirit of the times, which is reasonable regulation for business and reasonable protection for the pub lic, with a maximum of freedom for both and justice for all. The Gover nors compensation, local option and other bills are fair samples of the kind of laws the people want and the kind they are going to have; for what they want they eventually will get, and the Republican party is the instrument they desire to use, if one may judge by the returns of recent elections. It behooves Republican leaders everywhere, then, to hearken to the public demand and to heed It, for there is no party leadership that can do otherwise and live. The people ■believe in the party, and woe to the leadership anywhere that betrays its trust. TREE PLANTING THE SCHOOL BOARD has done a wise thing in declaring a half holiday on Arbor Day in order to give the pupils opportunity to participate in the great tree plant ing program at Wildwood Park, where 6,000 young trees are to be set out under the direction of City Forester Mueller. Years ago, under the supervision of George O. Kennedy, then head of the water department, some hundreds of trees were planted by school children In Reservoir Park. These to-day pro vide shade for the picnic parties on the slope to the north and west of the park house. Children of the children who helped to set them out enjoy their beauty and the cooling Influence they exert on hot summer days. So it may be In Wildwood. Also, the introduction of hundreds of little folks to Wildwood will en-j courage them to use that beautiful re sort more than they do at present, which is greatly to be desired. There ere hundreds of people in Harrisburg who do not realize what a gem they possess in this park, which is all that Its name implies, and more. ' THE EXPULSION OF PINCHOT THE newspapers of the country very properly have declined to get excited over the expulsion of Glfford Pinchot by the Ger mans from the war zone. The L nited States Government has been put to no indignity thereby. The late candidate for the United States Senate went Into Belgium on no gov ernmental mission. To be sure, his j.urpose there was for the benefit of homeless and helpless Belgians, and ithe high personal character of the man might have been accepted as guarantee by the Germans, If they had known him as well as do the people of the United States, that his family con nections in England would not have led him to betray any military eecr THURSDAY EVENING, rets he might have learned as a re sult his stay in Kins Albert's coun try. Pinchot brought down the trouble on his own head becausS, after having been the guest of his brother-in-law, the British minister at The Hague, he went immediately into Belgium. The Germans have not been allowing any person with British tendencies in the territory held by their armies and they are to be excused for looking upon Mr. Pinchot with sufficient sus picion to warrant the action they took. CHICAGO IS REPUBLICAN CHICAGO on Tuesday of this week grave a little demonstration of what It will do at the next Pres idential election. Chicago is now overwhelmingly Re publican. It is not nearly so enthusi astic over Democratic and Progressive theories as It was before President Wilson entered the White House and imposed upon the country laws em bracing his Ideas on the tariff and other subjects of very doubtful bene fit. It is true that there were many local Issues in the Chicago campaign and tfiat the votes of women figured large ly in the result. Nevertheless, the dis appointment displayed by the Democ racy of the country in its failure to carry Chicago shows very plainly that the national administration, as well as observing Republicans, see therein an indication that Chicago voters took into consideration national as well as local matters on Tuesday and voted accordingly. THE STATUS OF BUSINESS THERE Is a peculiar discrepancy between the report of the Penn sylvania Railroad company set ting forth an increase in the number of its idle cars and the activ ity of the securities of that corpor ation on Wall street. Notwithstanding that on March SI the Pennsylvania Railroad had 78,093 cars, or about 28 per cent, of its entire equipment. Idle, which Is considerably in excess of the figures for the same month last year, the stocks of that company on the open market are buoyant and are quoted at higher figures than at any time since the present stagnation of busine>ss begun. There is some reason for this not apparent to the casual observer. What is true of Pennsylvania quo tations is true of almost all of the listed securities, with the possible ex ception of American distilleries. Everyone of the railroads and big In dustrial stocks have shown substan tial increases in value during tho past several weeks and the gains in Beth lehem Steel, for instance, have been so sensational that single operators in New York have made fortunes in a day through transactions in the shares of that corporation. Evidently those in close touch with industrial conditions believe that both railroad and steel stocks are more like ly to carry dividends next year than they were last. This means that "Wall street is speculating on the likelihood of an Immediate improvement In business, and those who buy and sell stocks in large amounts are not given ! to risking their money without very j substantial rasons therefor. THE WHEAT CROP THE condition of the wheat crop 1 of the United States is an illus-' tratlon of the biblical assertion; that "To him who hath shall be given," and in this Instance It is a blessing that it is so. With the European wheat crop en tirely obliterated in many quarters and : naturally very much restricted every-1 where, the indications are that the j 1915 yield in this country will break j even last year's great record of 900,-j 000,000 bushels. The world would have been in a bad way for foodstuffs j If It had not been for America last] year, and a failure of the wheat crop of the coming summer would have been almost as disastrous. There is sure to be a big demand for our wheat abroad this year, whether the war con tinues long or not, so that the farmer who has doubled his acreage not only stands very good chance to make a fair profit, but appears In the light of a public benefactor, for the reason that a big crop in 1915 will tend to keep! prices down to at least the present level at home as well as supply the hungry mouths of Europe. "ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL" THE Philadelphia Evening Ledger iB author of the following sug gestion: Why r.ot show moving pictures of the different State institutions to all the legislators at Ilarrlsburg instead of sending the appropria tions committee of the House on Junkets throughout th > Common wealth at great expense to the tax payers? There Is some reason to believe that many members would get a better idea of conditions from the pictures than they manage to get from personal tours of observa tion. Indeed, too many of the ex cursions amount to nothing moro than pleasure jaunts for the elect. Yet there is one fatal objection to the plan. It would save money, and saving money is something with which no sane and modern legisla tor will have anything to do. The gentleman who suggests it may consider himself lucky If he es- capes ostracism. Has the Ledger taken into account the cost of making moving: pictures? Careful consideration of that item might lead to the discovery that even the costly legislative junkets to charitable institutions for the purpose of ascertaining their condition and needs might be In the end less ex pensive than the sending of a moving picture company about the State to make thousands of feet of films that might or might not be of value fn de termining the amounts the Legislature ought to set aside for the charities in question. The scheme sounds a good ideal like an illustration of the old say jing. "Six of one and a half dozen of another." It would be merely robbing Peter to pay -Paul. I Possibly the Ledger writer was chuckling as he clicked the suggestion off on his typewriter, or dictated it to his stenographer—which ever way [Ledger editors do it. EVENING CHAT"! \Y hether the foot and mouth dis ease quarantine is going to keep the circus trains away from Hurrisburg and this portion of the State this year is hard to say, but In any event the circus press agents appear to have made good in getting everyone talk ing about it. As a matter of fact. State officials say they cannot tell now whether there will be any Spring ex hibitions of the various greatest shows on earth or not. It all de pends upon the way the quarantine works out. If the State can lift the ban by the middle of May it will do so. Indications are that most of the terrl | tory now covered by quarantine regu lations will be free in a month, pro vided. of course, there is no fresh out break. None appears to be likely and the men who keep watch say that the new cuses have been very few of late. Under the regulations of tlie State, hoofed and cloven-footed animals are barred from trains, except pure-bred stock for breeding. This means that circus horses and the various deer, bovines and the like cannot bo moved. An amusement man said yesterday that he believed that the circus route men would send their shows to south ern states for the early months or elso to the far west and arrange to coma here in the late summer. In addition to the many people In this state who came to Harrlbburg for the local option hearing Tuesday were several visitors from other states near by. Some of them took time to look around and as the time drew near for | them to leave the capital city the usual remarks were heard. "1 have heard a lot about the scenic beauty of Penn sylvania, particularly Harrisburg, but thought It only the usual boasts. The trip to-day convinced me that Harris burg is all that it claims to be and more." said one gentleman who had traveled around the country a bit. Several of his friends agreed with him and went on into a lengthy discussion about tho scenery of the Susquehanna and the parks, compared with that of other places. All of them readily ac corded this city as being- one of the most beautiful that they had seen. Whether local option comes this year or some time in the future, there is one woman in this city who intends to have a supply of liquor on hand for "medicinal" purposes. Seeing the large crowds in the city on Tuesday, the woman inquired as to what was going on. On being told that Penn sylvania was likely to go dry this year she was greatly surprised. "If that is the case." she said. "I will have my husband lay in a supply at once. I am not in favor of liquor," she con tinued. "but I always have It around the house in case of sickness. Then \ you can use it in mince and pumpkin pies and in other cooking. My hus band is not a drinking man, and he , never was in a saloon in his life. I I think 1 II have a small barrel put in i at once." When told that she had! plenty of time to provide for the ! rutur« dr»- spell, the woman remarked: ! Oh 1 supposed nil the saloons would 1 be closed by the Fourth of July." Since the removal of the Rev. R. H. Ilart from the Fifth Street Methodist hurch and the Rev. John H. Daugh erty from Ridge Avenue because of their long charges with the present churches the Methodist congregations or this city believe that thev will not have any more changes for some time.

Mr. Bald win says that this session being with out John R. K. Scott he has not had a real good scrap, although he came close to it on Tuesday when the child labor bill came along. When the full crew repealer is takeu up he hopes to break a few lances—and heads— and thus far he has only been prac ticing. Air.

ILLTTIRSTOTHEIDITOR I RETURN TO SANITV Harrisburg, April 7, 1915. To the Editor of the Telegraflt: Your editorial headed "Return to Sanity" in the Telegraph of Monday, sth inst. is most excellent; and so pleasing to me that I sincerely wish that by an oversight it would appear on the Telegraph's editorial page for a full week —in order that It might do the greatest good to the greatest number of readers. An advertisement presenting matter of equal import ance would be repeated for several days, of course, therefore I contend this editorial should be, too. Doing this would cause comment quite out of the usual, but the only result would be a greater good. The real outcome from such comment would be to draw fu'ler attention to It—thus it would attain the end desired. I believe that if Mr. Root had been the choice of the Republican party as candidate for I President, and opposed to Mr. Wilson [(as I had hoped he would be), his , election by a large majority was sure. My opinion is that Mr. Roosevelt would not have been in opposition to Mr. Root as a candidate; and as a logical conclusion 1 believe there would have been no Progressive party nomi nation In 1912. As you well know, Mr. Root has a conspicuous public record for unselfish and valuable ser vice to Mr. Roosevelt's administration. Now, as the country lost an oppor tunity to vote for Mr. Root for Presi dent, a Democratic candidate was elected by a minority popular vote. I write from memory, but think that I am correct in stating that each time Mr. Bryan ran for' President he re ceived more votes than did Mr. Wilson —but lio was not elected so you would notice it. I am specially pleased that your editorial, to which I have referred, contained part of Mr. Root's speech on March 23, 1915. at the Union League Club, Philadelphia. It Is a "gem" and I think it one of the best I ever heard or read—covering a subject of over whelming Importance to the whole people of our cherished country.

I call myself a "watchful, wnit ing" citizen—looking confidently for the near-coming change in the admin istration at Washington, back to sa'n- Ity, for our country's business Inter ests; and, as Mr. Root said: "We will not be governed by men who regard us unfit to participate in government." A. C. O. ALMAN*. HOW 10 PREVENT in STOMACHS AND FOOD FERMENTATION Hy a Stomach Specialist ' As a specialist who has spent many I years in the study and treatment of stomach troubles, I have beon forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty, is excessive acid in the stomach, ag gravated bv food fermentation. Hyper acidity irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stom ach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid ami fermentation interfere with and re tard the process f>f digestion. The stomach Is usually healthy and normal, but irritated almost past endurance by these foreign elements—acid and wind. In all such cases and they comprise over 90 per cent, of all stomach diffi culties —the first and only step neces sarv is to neutralize the acid and stop the fermentation by taking- in a littlo warm or cold water immediately after eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisurated magnesia, which is doubt less the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instant ly, and your stomach will at once pro ceed to digest the food in a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist tor the bisurated magnesia, as I have found other forms utterly lacking In Its peculiarly valuable prop erties.—F. J. G.—Adv.
