Junt what this means is by no means clear. Neither is it Important to find out. Mention is made here of the ex pression merely because It serves to call attention to the fact that the name Republican and what it stands for in the party politics of the country, far; from being repugnant to those who voted the Progressive ticket in 1912, is the strongest of the influences behind the movement back to the party. The conviction that the traditions and ideals of the Republican party constitute one of the really important forces of the Republic, and a feeling that the best hope of the friends of enlightened government lies in the continued existence of that party as a virile organization, rather than thoughts of political expediency, in spire most of the men who went out during the last national campaign, but will co-operate heartily in the cam paign to be made next year. This is Indicated nowhere more plainly than in recent letters and statements of leaders of the Progressive party move ment, now practically abandoned. It is plain that they feel they acted precipitately and without giving due ■FRIDAY EVENING, 1 HAJIRISBURG TELEGTOgfII- JULY 16, 1915. consideration to the great practical value to the nation of Republican solidarity. The Republican party Is by no means the oldest political organiza tion In this country, but it has a his tory of achievement, of moral uplift and economic advance and of construc tive legislation that no other party can begin to equal. And what is much more Important the things that the Republican party stand for constitute a program which insures that when the Government is committed to its care the country will go forward steadily along all lines in such a way as will command respect both at home and abroad. Is it any wonder in such circumstances that thousands of voters, as they look back over the three momentous years that have elapsed since the last national conventions were held and forward to the menace of a tariff bill that will remain untried until the economic disturbance due to the war has passed, feel that they were untrue to themselves and to the best Interests of the nation when they left the organization which has accom plished so much for no weightier rea son that that there was a temporary difference of opinion regarding in ternal party policy? Is it- fair to assume that* Secretary Daniels' purpose in inviting: Henry Ford to become a member of the ad visory board, of which Thomas Edison is the head, is to have a real expert to take care of the publicity features? D HAKA IyOOMB UP BRIEFLY NO" > r the least interesting thing about the trip of the Liberty Bell across the continent is the fact that it served to enable Barratt O'Hara to emerge for a few mtnutes from the obscurity in which he has been plunged for the last two years. Of course every one remembers O'Hara. He is the busy individual who cut a wide swath one recent win ter in his capacity as lieutenant gov ernor and head of a committee ap pointed by the Illinois legislature to investigate wages paid to women en gaged in gainful occupations. If not the actual inventor of the theory that there is an intimate relation between morality and the wage rate he at least discovered how to exploit the idea so as to give himself and the inquiry 'he dominated nation-wide notoriety. Although It actually is a matter of but a few months since this occurred it seems a long while ago, and as one looks back at it is hard to understand how such an outrageous attack upon American womanhood received even the brief countenance it obtained from the public and some of the news-, papers. Even as It was, O'Hara has been in the background ever since, much against his own will if the Liberty Bell incident may be taken as a criterion. Governor Dunne was out of the State when the Bell passed through and the duty of officially receiving it fell to the lieutenant governor. True to his in stinct to make the most of e\»ery situation to exploit O'Hara, he has written to the Philadelphia newspapers about it. It is to be hoped that it will/ be a long time before he is again .'heard from outside of his own State. Bv the.time all the shells now hielnK made In this country are nrea oiti Eu rope will be one vast junk yard. But those thart are not blow to fllnderw will be sunk so deep In the earth that it will not pay to dig them out, so there is not much prospect of easy money for the junk men. . CORRECT ATTITUDE JUDGE KUNKEL took an absolutely correct attitude Monday in sen tencing to jail for three months a prisoner convicted of driving a jit ney beyond the speed limit while in toxicated, when he said: We can't wait until someone Is seriously injured by one who vio lates the law in driving a motor vehicle while Intoxicated. Then it s will be too late. The surer way to protect those who ride as well as those who walk In the streets from the violators of the law is to Im pose the penalty of the law. This is good common sense. If the drivers of automobiles learn that the law is to be strictly enforced and that jail sentences are to be imposed for violations such as endanger the lives of their patrons or pedestrians, such practices as those which have been all too common lately will cease. The life of the jitney depends upon public favor and it will lose that all important factor if men who drive the cars do not conform strictly with the law. Municipal regulation of the jit neys is bound to come sooner or later and the jitney drivers can do much to make the yoke light or heavy, all according to their own condjuct. Ed. F. Eisely, who is striving to bring about better conditions among the jitneys, is moving in the right direction, but he is not receiving the support which would indicate that the jitney owners as a whole are with him. If Harry Thaw Is turned loose the very least he can do is to go In hiding for the rest of his natural life. The public regrets the miscarriage of jus tice in this case, but that cannot be helped now, and there Is a real demand to the whole miserable incident drop out of sight. IMPORTANT RULING TWO important facts were de veloped in court at Ogden, Utah, yesterday, when the judge in his instructions to the jury in the suit of Albert Geddes Eccles for a share in the estate of the late David Ecclcs, multi millionaire sugar and lumber king, ruled that children by a plural mar riage, such as is alleged to have been contracted by Margaret Geddes and David Eccles, are not legitimate. The court ruled, also, that the only ground on which Albert Eccles could Icw claim to inherit from the estate of the financier Is that David Eccles had acknowledged himself to be the father of the boy. He instructed the Jury that it should consider evidence sub mitted by the plaintiff in the action as to a plural marriage only In so far as It tended to prove the likelihood of an acknowledgment. The effect of this ruling is Impor tant and sweeping In Utah, since It affects the standing of all children born from a plural marriage subse quent to the admission of Utah as a State. Such children born theretofore have been declared legitimate by a: special statute. But even more Important Is the fact brought out that Mormon Church offi cials are really frowning upon plural marriages in Utah. The suspicion that 1 Mormon leaders were winking at vio- j latlons of the law forbidding such unions generally has prevailed and I there have been examples to confirm It. If the opposite is now true and the Mormons can convince the public that they are really sincere In their pledges of conformity with accepted standards of marriage in the United States, they will have gone a long way toward establishing for themselves a respect ability that, deservedly or undeserv edly, they do not have and never did have.

MILITARY TRAINING IS A HRI.P Australia Kind* Its Hoy* Are Retter Physically and Morally [From the London Times.] In response to a request for an ex pression of opinion from the respective neads of the police departments as to the effect of the universal military training system on the general conduct and bearing of the youths of Australia, the following replies have been given: most beneficial eS..» 5 : s ' e n m h" had a conduct and bearing itlnuth are subject to the training uths who New South Wales—The principal ef fects of a beneficial nature are increas ed self respect, diminution of juvenile clgaret smoking. and larriklnlsm (carelessness), and generally a ten dency towards a sense of responsibility "and a desire to become good citizens. With regard to the view that the svs tem may tend to interfere with paren tal control, the commissioner says: "I do not personally consider the loss in this direction is commensurate to the gain physically, mentally and morally which must result from the training."

FROM 1856 TO 1015 {Kansas City Star.] In the late 'sos, when the old slave holders saw the storm of abolition coming, they thought the best way to fight it was to attempt to force slavery in territory where it was not wanted. The disastrous results to the slave holders should not have been forgot ten by the saloon keepers and their official friends so early in this present century. To force saloons in territory where they are not wan*3d Is certain to re mind the people who oppose them that Kansas has no trouble either with saloons—or timid souls in office who fear saloon influence. If the saloon keepers were not as blind as the old slave owners they would see another storm of abolition coming. They would also see how they are helping it along even when they pride themselves upon winning a "victory." HIS SHINING EXAMPLE [New York World.] Mr. Bryan hopes soon to realize his ambition to "return to the colleges and lecture to the young men on the duties and responsibilities of citizenship." Why lecture? Why not use a brief biography of the gentleman as a text book? Every such work, if accurate, will describe three outstandlngachleve ments of Mr. F.ryan that should have a more Important influence upon young men than lectures innumerable. First, there is the great moral prin ciple of paying debts contracted in gold with 50-eent silver dollars. Then there Is the virtue of doing wrong, as in the case of the annexation of the Philippines, so that later there will be an opportunity to do right by setting them free. Finally, as an evidence of patriotism and courage, we have the stsgy resignation from the State De partment at a time when national honor and interests were gravely menaced abroad. It would be a waste of time and strength for Mr. Bryan to lecture on the duties and responsibilities of citi zenship. Let young men everywhere ponder in silence his shining example. PEACE! PEACE! Bryan's terms for a speech In St. Louis are SSOO and 50,000 audience. By a simple process of arithmetic it follows the Commoner considers it Is worth just an even dollar a hundred to men and women to hear him cry "Peace, peace but there is no peace." —Washington Observer. U By the Ex-Committeema* Senator Penrose's visit to Pittsburgh is being made the occasion for num erous pilgrimages by men active in Republican affairs In the western part of the State to the erstwhile Smoky City and there will be some interest ing developments as a result* The senator is listening to all comers. To morrow he will be the guest at a big party at the Babcock farm. Soon after his arrival in Pittsburgh the senator talked of the presidential prospects, saying that the country will look to the Republicans to put up a strong candidate. In New York he said there is much talk of Elihu Root, while in Pennsylvania Governor Brumbaugh and P. C. Knox are the men talked about. Revenue Collector Ben Davis, of Lancaster, is reported as intending to stay in politics and friends are quoted as saying he will be a candidate for county chairman again. This will be enough to start a fight, to say nothing of the doubtful propriety of a revenue collector being a county chairman. However, he is a reorganization Dem ocrat, which can be pleaded as a cover for many things. The county com mittee meets on July 27. _ The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times says: National Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer, who dispenses the Federal patronage In the State, has established the precedent of going outside the postal district for a postmaster. Some time ago Postmaster General Burle son gave the local Democrats, outside of the leaders of the £uffey-Martin or ganization, the first intimation they had that Mr. George is under consid eration. He said he couid see no ob jection In going to Sewickley for a postmaster. Mr. George is chairman of the finance committee of the Guf fey-Martin organization. Throughout Dauphin county the Impression prevails that the Republi can ticket will sweep the district next Fall by a great majority. "All that we need is the right sort of ticket and the rest will be easy," said a man from the upper end of the county to day who has followed the course of politics in that district for many years. "I nev*r knew of a time when the rank and file was better pleased with the manner in which the affairs of the party have been conducted. The county committee Is responsive to the will of the voters as never before and County Chairman Hoerner is endeav oring to the best of his ability to pre vent any factional or sectional feel ing." It is to be noted that every one of the candidates for office who have announced themselves up to this time are men of high standing, good ha bits and capable. It is also to be re marked that the Democrats are not making much headway in their effort to get a strong Ucket into the field. It is generally felt in Democratic circles that if the party could not win last Fall with a candidate for Governor residing here and more money in cir culation than ever before, with a well built machine in charge of the Demo cratic campaign and mass meetings every night there Is no use trying this year, and the result is that very few strong candidates care to make the run. Regarding the Philadelphia mayor alty situation the Philadelphia In quirer to-day says:- "Predictions of an ultimate agreement among the dominant forces in the local Republi can organization upon a candidate for mayor were made yesterday with more confidence than at any time since the canvass was actively inaugurated. None of the participants at the Atlan tic City conference the night before would venture an Intimation as to a probable choice, but It would appear [that there is less likelihood than at any time recently of a bitter factional contest for the nomination. It may be that none of the eight Republicans left upon thefnst of nearly fifty sug gested avallah'les presented'to the con ference will he finally agreed upon to be supported at the popular primar ies for the mayoralty, to be held on Tuesday, September 21. At least-four of the eight are declared to be accept able to many who have for years vot ed independently in Municipal cam paigns and are in a position to com mand the indorsement of organiza tions of business men and others not actively identified with politics." Harrisburg friends of Representa tive Cleon N. Berntheizel, of Columbia, were much interested in an announce ment made last night that he had en tered the contest for the nomination for district attorney of Lancaster county. Major Berntheizel, who has been a member of the last two ses sions. was one of the members who attracted attention by careful work. He was one of the prominent members of the judiciary general committee. Col. John M. Groff is the present dis trict attorney. Dr. J. H. Kreider, former chairman of the Bull Moosers in this county, is out of the auditor general's depart ment again. The doctor was county chairman in the only big year of the Bull Moosers and got a job on the Hill. When he ran for congress he gave it up, but got reappointed. Now he is to devote himself to private practice. Our Daily Laugh IN FROG TOWN, Mr. Turtle: \] $4 Good morning, \l£7 Mr. Frog. How «.

A POLL OF JITNEY Literary Digest Finds Regulation the Dominant Issue. When the strike stopped the wheels of every street car In Chicago, half of the Chicagoans affected traveled to work next morning in jitney buses, a fact whioh the Washington Times wculd hold largely responsible for the speedy end of the Chicago tie-up. This is what the Jitney can do In an emergency. But what city officials, traction magnates and motor car man ulacturers would like to know is its future as an everyday means of trans portation. Several authorities have noted a decrease in the total number of jitney buses in the last two or three months, despite the more favorable weather and the extension of the idea in the East. In part, says a writer In the Sunset Magazine (San Francisco), "this de crease was due to an oversupply, with the consequent reduction of average earnings. Other bus owners dropped out because they found the business unprofitable, but the heaviest percent age of the decline is due to the regu lative measures adopted by the au thorities." Yet, despite the decrease In the number of vehicles operated, this writer concludes, "the Jitney bus has come to stay; but regulation has come to stay likewise." Similarly, one of the foremost motor car manufacturers of the country, John North Willys, Is quoted In the Commercial Vehicle (New York) as saying: "The tremendous political in fluences exerted by the electric street railway interests may succeed for a short period of time in retarding the sudden and great development of the motor transportation project known as the- Jitney bus, but it will never.be able to suppress the new and popular means of locomotion." An effort to ascertain the exact status of the Jitney was made some weeks ago by the Fidelity Trust Com pany of Baltimore, which found that of 138 cities of the United States and Canada reporting. Jitneys are operat ing in 106. In ten of these the num ber in operation was said to be de creasing. In the summarized reports from the cities we pick out at random a few interesting facts: "Atlantic City has 200 jitneys in op eration, street car earnings have been cut 2 5 per cent, and regulation Is un- BOQKS AND MAOAZINES Elizabeth Dejeans, author of the recently published novel, "The Lite- Builders,' is just leaving for an ex tended trip west.

Jitney buses had been kept out of Boston and New York up to the time the report was prepared. Attempts to start the service in Buffalo and Denver failed in the face of the regulations adopted by city officials. A hundred cars appeared in Hartford, Conn., in three weeks' time, and are meeting with public favor and patronage. In Houston, Texas, 350 cars are reported, running under strin gent traffic regulations. Kansas City has had a considerable number of ma chines operating for several months, with trolley earnings affected and reg ulation pending. "In Los Angeles, the home of the Jitney, a banker reports losses in street railway earnings, but a growth in the number and popularity of the buses, with a likelihood that the jitney ques tion may figure in the city election. In Memphis the number of jitneys has decreased from 369 to 110, but trolley | earnings are seriously affected. In | Milwaukee between 500 and 600 cars I have taken out licenses, with estimated | street railway losses of SSOO to $2,500 i daily, and regulation under consid eration. In-several Alabama cities the traction companies are campaigning against the jitneys. In New Orleans i there have been accidents, and a de- I crease in the number of cars operating, though 400 tore still in use. 'Jitney buses in Oakland, Cal., have been competing successfully with the street railways for more than six months, decreasing the latter's earn ings by $100,000; there Is regulation, lr. Providence about 900 jitneys are said to be in operation, principally Ford cars. In charge of boys and inex perienced chauffeurs, patronized chiefly by workers. The Richmond Street Railway Company has been forced to establish a jitney service of its own. Regulative ordinances drove jitney buses out of Salt Lake City. San Francisco's several hundred jitneys are decreasing in number, are said to be unprofitable, and drastic regulation under permissive state law may elimi nate them. "St. Louis has 250 cars, hut service Is said to be unsatisfactory. Seattle has had 600 jitneys, but the number is decreasing under strict regulation." Miss Chittenden Says Saloon Cash is Not Back of Antisuffrage MISS ALICE- HCHITieWDEtt. New York, July 16.—Angered by as sertions that the liquor interests are backing the antisuffrage campaign, Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, has made the announcement that the New York State Association opposed to Woman Suffrage would open its books to an authorized committee of suffragists. "The time has come to put R stop to these charges," said Miss Chittenden. "The antisuffrage association has never received one penny from any person or organization directly or in directly connected with liquor inter ests. I am willing to make an affida vit to that effect." "We have received no money anony mouslv. The association is financed by subscriptions among its members, in New York City the membership is 1,000 women, who pay from $1 to SSO a year each. We also have a number of pledges from women who promised to contribute a certain sum yearly during the three years in which New York has been a campaign State. These pledge;! are usually about $25..

What the Academy will need before long will be a lower school building be-i cause it has shown marked success In its work among the youngsters and its classes in that department have been growing faster than the kids. The Harrisburg Public Library Is continuing to depart from the rule. Not only has it been able to do mora than most institutions in the way of books circulated per dollar expended, in fact, establishing something of a record in that line, but It has also been enjoying a gain in patronage when ordinarily the demand for books slacks up. The last few weeks there has been actually an increase in the patronage as compared with the hot' weeks of last summer. The number of children taking books from the Library is steadily mounting and the talks given at the playgrounds are causing some of the youngsters to foot it long squares to the Library to look at books. The Library plans to save this by sending books to the play grounds. Over twenty-five hunters' license tags have been reserved at the county treasury, having been laid aside for nimrods who have desires for special numbers, as have people for automo biles. Lockwood Worden, the crack shot, who had number 1 last year, the first hunter's license to be issued in Dauphin county, will have number 1 again, having made a request for it a long time ago. The requests for spe cial numbers have come from all parts of the county. Harrisburg is expected to have more hunters than any other part of the county as last year showed. Over 5,000 licenses will be issued. "Do you know that Iced tea, plain iced tea is commencing to be a popu lar beverage over the bar in Harris burg?" asked one of the city's hotel men last evening. "Now I don't mean iced tea with a stick in it or anything like that, but plain iced tea such as you have over your table at home and I have been surprised at the number of people who call for it. I tried it as a novelty a couple of years ago and the demand became so popular that when the weather gets hot I have it made and stood on the bar. There's a fine profit in It, too. • Why, do you know that I make a nice profit on it even when I serve it with lemon and some sprigs of green and powdered sugar. More people call for it than for ginger ale." "The most disgusted people In Har risburg right now are the fishermen and I'm getting into their class be cause 1 have not sold a. piece of tackle or a line for a week except to some men who were going some where far off to fish. The weather conditions this Spring have been of a character to make any man who likes to fish swear." This is the way that one of the men who deals In fishing tackle ex pressed himself. As a matter of fact the rains have been so frequent late ly that all of the streams have become muddy and as for the Susquehanna and Conodoguinet they have not been fit for fishing for weeks. Conductors on open cars' going through the Market street subway have the sense of touch of a nickel well developed. They generally are collecting fares when the cars go into the tunnel and they take the money and ring up just the same as though in the middle of a sunlit street.

For years the Guardsmen have been Instructed in open order warfare and hard work has been done alon»r that line practically ever since the South African war. Now there is apparently some very serious thought beinpr given by the men in charge of instruction to discipline. To the minds of old soldiers that can mean only one thing and that is a return to the mass formation Idea. WELL KNOWHI PEOPLE 1 —Congressman John M.
