TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST S; As soon as a man 'becomes satisfied, with himself and what he has done, he has ceased to improve anil has be gun to degenerate.—George Eliot. THE SHREWDNESS OF SCHWAB THE Philadelphia News Bureau's daily bulletin of yesterday, com menting upon the situation of the Bethlehm Steel Company, sa.vs it has been officially confirmed that the Schwab concern now has on hand un filled war orders to the amount of $250,000,000 and says that it would not be surprising if by the end o£ the pres ent year this would be increased to $400,000,000, which would net an ag gregate profit of $120,000,000. These figures are impressive enough, but the real shrewdness of Schwab is summed up in the paragraph follow ing, in which the writer mentions the fact that for several years previous to the war the Bethlehem Company had beer disposing of seventy per cent, of its ordnance output to Germany, and (it is evident that these orders enabled (Schwab to put his plant into condition to take advantage of the present heavy market. Here is where the American steel magnate • "put one over" on Germany. The kaiser got the advance supplies he needed, but at the same time he was creating a plant that since the very opening of the war has been pouring a steady stream of munitions across the Atlantic to feed : the allies' armies in the field. Eng land, France and Russia would be in '■core plight indeed without the Schwab plant at Bethlehem. Large demand from Europe for American wneat caused high prices here and induced American farmers to sow much more grain than usual. Fields which otherwise would have been summer-fallowed, were sown to wheat last Fall or this Spring, because of the prospect of large returns. The wheat crop will be a bumper and because of the urgent demand, there will be pres sure for early shipment. Anticipation of the demand for cars, together with low prices quoted by car builders, has caused several roads to add to their equipment, but the orders are a direct result of the war and not, as Demo cratic papers have us believe, a conse quence of economic conditions in spite of the war. AN EXAMPI-E NEEDED IF the motorcj»clist who struck a baby coach on Allison Hill, tossing a seven-month-old babe into the air, is caught by the police, he should be given the full limit of the law. The practice of motorists and cyclists hitting people and then speeding away before anyone can get their numbers is all too common. But seldom has such criminal Indifference been shown as in this case. According to wit nesses, the cyclist looked around, saw he had knocked the child to the pave ment. and then sped away. Almost miraculously, the youngster was little hurt, and no serious consequences are expecte» to develop. But the cyclist did not know that he had not killed the child and his speeding away from the scene of the accident makes him all the more culpable. It is high time that an example be made of drivers who try to make their escape lest their identity be learned following an accident. Why does not all this prosperity, •which the Democrats talk about, show «om» reflection in fha transactions of the Federal Treasury? The Gov«rn • ment is now running behind In its ex penses nearly a million dollars a day. Surely, if the country is so "prosper ous" because of the mushroom develop ment of "war orders," that prosperity ought to show itself for the benefit of others than the owners of or specula tors in "war stocks." BOON OF THE BATHTUB SOME day some poetic soul will write an ode to th» bathtub. > And wtao of us will not delight In the lines which shall sing the praises of this, one of the most lux urious of the boons of modern civ ilization. Some there are who may blush to recall the days when a week-end bath in the washtub or washbowl was one of the painful necessities of life. A little reminiscent thought will bring back that scene on the old kitchen floor # it didn't matter if the oilcloth was 1 splashed, you know —with your mother TUESDAY EVENING. wielding soap and rag whit© you won dered why It was thought necessary to wash "all over" anyway. A cruel world It waa, Indeed! But one would rather sell h1» btrth- I right than his bathtub on a hot, sticky, sweltering day In July or August. To splash and splutter! To splutter and to splash! Ah. this IS the life! And yet, mo the olty. health officials say, there is a doleful lack of fre quency with which some people make use of their bathtubs, even in summer. They fume and fret about-the weather and wonder why in the deuce they ever kicked about snowstorms, and All themselves up to the guizle with Ice water, with scarce a thought of a morning and evening ducking In the ever-ready tub. That's the point of all this. When you're almost "crazy with the heat," remember the boon of the bathtub. "However much we may differ as to the exact character of the causes, this much is certain: That In this country prosperity has Invariably accompanied protection, while business and Indus trial depression have just as Invariably gone hand in hand with free trade." This statement, made on the floor of the Senate in September. 1913, by Senator Sutherland, of Utah, proves that states man a true prophet. The sooner we stop theorizing and get back to the sound basis of protection and prosperity the better it will he for American peo ple and American interests. ANOTHER TARIFF "BENEFIT" IN a recent issue of the Commerce Reports, Vice Consul Gilbert, of Nanking, China, writes that ex porters purchase their eggs at that point for 40 to 42 cents per gross. He states that at the time of making his report the following consignments were arranged for: Fresh eggs, to San Francisco, 102,- 000 dozen, at $0,046; Seattle, 311,000 dozen, at $0,046; Tacoma, 521,833 dozen, at $0,046. Eggs, frozen, in tins, to New York City, 7,523,318 pounds, at $0.03; Seattle, 656,000 pounds, at $0.03. The territory covered by agents radiating from Nanking produces 75,- 000 dozen eggs daily Tor export. The cause for this activity Is not far to seek. The Democratic tariff law of 1913 took off the duty of 5 cents a dozen levied by the Republican tariff, since which time egg prices to farm ers on the western coast have been greatly depreciated by the influx from the Orient. The Chinese are only be ginning to learn the advantage of a free trade market In the United States, and already extensive developments are under way to enlargo and organize the egg industry, while several fac tories are in process of construction to manufacture dried eggs for the American market, to be used by bakeries. If the Democratic tariff law con tinues on the statute books, the Am erican hens will have to declare a moratorium, but this would not be BO bad from the standpoint of the con sumer were it not that eggs from the Orient are usually stale when they reach here, are produced in unspeak ably filthy surroundings and are capable of carrying all manner of disease. The small boy who is compelled to "take it back" after blusteringly talk ins up to his better informed com panion, can sympathize with the Demo cratic administration which is now proclaiming: the success of the postal savings bank thoush the Democrats in Congress fought it as hard as they knew how. PADIiESS SHOUMJERS FOR MEN WE await with interest the com ment of the newspapers on the mandate of the Clothing De signers of America who have decreed padless shoulders for men. When it comes to discussing wom en's styles the American editorial writer knows no limit. He simply runs riot. When he is not shrieking in anguish over the demoralizing effects of the silt skirt and the peekaboo waist he is poking fun at the hoopskirt and | the bustle. The woman who pads has been long a favorite with the para graphers, and what Is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander. Therefore, we await Impatiently the eloquent tributes of the dress-reform ing press directed toward those heroic personages who have taken upon themselves the task of removing pads from the shoulders of men. We re peat, we await. Also we await with equal impatience the appearance in Fall garb of some of those male persons who have been crying out against the follies of women with respect to style. The coming season promises to be a trying period for some of us who will hesitate be tween the choice of being in style or of preserving our athletic figures.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF WORK HENRY FORD is not only a good publicity manager, but he is a philosopher as well. He finds frequent occasion to speak through the newspapers and what he says is usually Interesting and worth reading, which. It Is regrettable to sa,y, is not always the case even with men of as noted accomplishments as Mr. Ford. As an Instance, on the occasion of the fifty-second anniversary of his birth last Saturday the automobile manufacturer said he believed he would live to be at least ninety-five, that he wanted to live as long as he is able to work, and hoped to be able to work as long as he lived. Mr. Ford la one of the wealthiest men in the country. He might retire now with his fame seoure and with money enough to gratify his every whlm. no matter what the cost. Steam yachts, special cars,' luxurious auto mobiles, magnificent homes, everything the heart could wish, might be his for the asking. But he wants none of them. All he desires 18 that he may live long that he may work long. He has learned that there Is no Joy in riches slmsly as riches. He knows that the wants of man are really few and that the Joy of living lie* In doing and giving and not |n the Indulgence of self or the destructive pleasures of idleness. At fifty-two Mr. Ford still has hla eye on the future. Hard work la hla watchword and service his ambition. In this lies the wonderful success'that has come to htm. He has found his reward in his work Instead of working for reward. A machine has been devised which will turn out 1,800 pies an "hour. This beats Mr. Bryan at his best when "de serving Democrats" were thronging about the pie counter. A HI.I N O BOY WHO MADE GOOD [From the Kansas City Star.] Btiok to your dream, boy. Let noth ing swerve you from the path that leads upward toward the fulfillment of your life's ambition. You will meet with difficulties and discouragements, but when you do, just think of the man, Herreshoff, the boat builder, who died tjie other day in Khodu Island. In his life you ought to find inspiration enough to lift you over any obstacle. When John B. Herreshoff was a boy his ambition was to design and build the fastest boats in the world. He be came blind while yet a boy. That would have discouraged any ordinary boy. for how could a blind man design a model that he could not see? But Herreshoff was no ordinary boy. He stuck to his dream. The heavy handi cap of blindness only made him press on all the harder. The blind boy sat In eternal darkness and whittled out his boat models. Gradually there develoned in his fin gers a muscle sense that was worth more to him than eyesight would have been. Slipping the model of a boat through his hands he could tell how It should be shaped to slip through the water with the least resistance. Other designers figured out their models by complex mathematical calculations. But the blind boy felt with his sensitive fingers, and his models were the best, for when he was 24 years old he built the fastest yacht the world had ever known and. while he could not see the boat go, he felt the dash and plunge and swiftness of it. and he wept when they told him his boat had won the race. He built the yachts Vigilant, De fender, Columbia. Reliance, that con quered the series of Shamrocks In the races for the America's cup. He built up a great constructional industry. The Government of his own country went to him for torpedoboats. The fame of the blind designer of fast boats spread round the world and England, Russia and Italy nave him contracts for their fastest torpedoboats. He died a few days ago. a wealthy man and, better than that, a successful man. for he had stuck to his boyhood's dream and achieved It fully. NO strike: by women [From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.] The men who view women through the eyes of Schopenhauer, Otto Weln inger, air Almoth Wright and their disciples must have been somewhat shocked by the simultaneous spec tacles of 30,000 English women march ing through the rain to Implore Lloyd-George to employ them in mu nition making, and 200,000 ballot-cast ing Welshmen refusing to mine coal for the fleet. The men are taking advantage of the national peril to secure privileges which they could not obtain in time of peace; the women have disdained to add to Eng land's burden in order to secure their desire —the vote. Ninety thou sand women already are engaged In farming in England, and the women demand that they be called upon to fill the places of the 500,00 male farm laborers of military age who still re main on the safe side of the Chan nel. Fifty thousand women work in munition factories; they ask that the number be doubled or trebled. Wo men have Invaded all the Government departments, and In London last week 400 men teachers were replaced by women. They are not striking or mobbing ministers for the vote, but they are winning It in a subtler way. 1 TELEORAPH PERISCOPE ] j —Typhoid fever has broken out in the French ranks.

Kaiser, member of the last House, is a candidate for councilman In Pittsburgh and is having some rough sledding because of the way he voted or did not vote at all on some of the important measures. Mayor Cauffiei, of Johnstown, may become a candidate for county con troller of Cambria to succeed George M. Wertz. Adam J.Haag, burgess of the State's newest third class city, Dußois, is a candidate for mayor of the new city when it puts on its official clothes on New Year's. The Pittsburgh Gazette Times says about J. Denny O'Nell's fight: "When Mr. Penrose was here he did not say that he would or would not do any thing to bring about the defeat of Mr. O'Neil.

Colonel Harvey minces no words in the matter. What Germany has replied to us amounts to nothing, says Colonel Harvey with vivid direct ness: "The United States of America and her President, and her Congress, and her people, can go to hell. Just that; nothing more and nothing less. - Colonel Harvey continues as follows: She disavows none of her crimes; she makes no Suggestion of reparation; she recognizes no rights of neutrals; she reiterates her repudiation of all treaties and of all laws, whether among nations or of civilization and humanity, which may conflict with her own conception of military necessity; she apologizes for nothing: she con cedes nothing: she acknowledges noth ing; she seeks only to secure our ap proval of her lawless practices through our acquiescence in her proposal that we waive our unquestioned rights upon the high seas ana sail so many of our ships as she may permit, under her surveillance and subject to her dicta tion; having injured us, she would wrong us; having? insulted us, she would humiliate us; that is all there is of this Insolent declaration. Not one of our moderate demands is accorded even the courtesy of frank recognition; all are In effect denied; each and every one Is either tacitly spurned or impudently Ignored. Never before has this country and seldom, if ever, has any country been treated so contemptuously. Why Is this? What has happened to convince | even a truculent Autocracy that this i Republic can be flouted with Impunity? Surely history warrants np such as i sumption. Tripoli at the outset was ! taught her lesson by Jefferson, England first by Madison and again by Cleve land, Mexico by Polk, France by Lin coln, Spain by McKinloy, and Japan, more decisively than is commonly un derstood. by Roosevelt. What now in duces Germany to believe that Presl | dent Wilson does not mean what he many would be willing to concede the leadership laid down by Mr. High. He represents the county organization and alligned with him are County Chair man Dr. C. D. Werley, of Topton; County Secretary Matthew J. Gibney, of this city; State Committeemen CJeorge W. Billman and Otto G. Noack; A. Ellsworth Leinbach, who has been a power in the party for years and a number of others who have been active workers.

Stratton, and Republican officials at City Hall generally, although the Mayor savs he takes little or no inter est in politics." • • • —A Greensburg news story says: "Announcement of the withdrawal of Charles C. Crowell from the judicial contest in Westmoreland county -was scarcely made until a movement was started to have David L.

Un til the announcement of Crowell that he would not be a candidate it was thought there would be two Republi cans and two Democrats in the first nonpartisan judicial fight in the coun ty, but when Crowell withdrew It left Judge A.

Obviously there Is an Insidious cause hack of the Imperial Government's in solence—nothing less than n fixed be lief that the sentiment of this country is not only divided but, is veering in their direction. "Feeling in the United States," placidly remarks the inspired Morgen Post, of Berlin, "is changed from what it was at the time of the Lusitania sinking and President Wilson will have to satisfy this new feeling In considering and answering the pres ent note. That the note will meet un restrained approval at the hands of a large part of Americans is certain." For this Impression undoubtedly as we foresaw, the resignation of Br.van, sup plemented by the. traitorous utterances of hyphenated editors who write as Germans, not as Americans, is directly responsible. And it Is because of this conviction beyond question that the Im perial Government's address was in no sense, categorical or otherwise, a re sponse to the American Government; It was a stump speech to the American people; not an answer to the President, but an appreciation of Bryan. Germany is "fighting for existence" of her own volition. So, involuntarily, are the people of England and of France. So may we he compelled to do to withstand the Imperial Govern ment's ruthless endeavor to place "Deutschland über" not merely France and Kngland, hut—"uber Alles." Irft their words be ours. No more than they, and never so long as patriotic spirit animates American beings, shall this free Republic be found "guilty be i fore God and history of violation of those principles of highest humanity which are the foundations of every national existence" and of all civiliza tion. We can but believe, that when those American men and women were swept to their doom from the decks of the Lusitania, after vainly trying to save "the kiddies," their hearts were com forted by the certainty in their minds that they had a country. Shall we who live sear the trusting souls of those who died by forgetting that they were our kinsmen and were slaughtered like sheep In a pen? 1 EDITORIAL COMMENT"" Americans never hunt a fight or run from one,—Birmingham News.

X. PROGRESSIVE FUTILITY The retreat of the Hon. George L. Record of New Jersey Into the ranks of the Republican party la an unmis takable sign of Progressive futility In that State. Mr. Record has always been a practical politician, although not always a successful one.

By reason of a blow-out or two on the way out they were stranded about noon in a lonely part of Bedford county. Ap proaching a farmhouse, one of the tourists engaged dinner, which, by the v.-ay, was an excellent repast, although the woman of the house continually excused herself for lack of accommo dations, saying she was not accus tomed to so large a family and feared that her supply of dishes might not be sufficient to go round. All went well, however, the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn and gravy were disposed of and it came to dessert. Suddenly the hostess appeared In tho dining room with a huge platter bear ing two pieces of pie each for the several guests. But she bore a troubled look, which was explained as she placed her burden on the table, say ing: "You people will have to excuse me. I have plenty of pie, but some of you will have to use your forks; I haven't got knives enough for all of you." • » • According to trolley conductors, there are people who spend as high as a dollar to keep cool these evenings.

The other side of the river furnishes a choice lot of rides on a cool evening. • « • Canoeists and others who frequent the river were surprised recently when neatly painted signs were posted on one of the little islands opposite Har risburg. The signs read, "Trespassers will be dealt with according to law." The canoeists wondered why tfie word ing was so vague, so some inquired of their lawyer friends. They found, as it was brought out at the recent "Hard scrabble" condemnation proceedings, that for boating and fishing purposes river shores, which would include Island banks, are freely accessible to the general public at all times between the high and low water marks—and the island In question is covered when high water mark is reached. ♦ • * "The Court Garage" is the wav peo ple are now styling the paved recess along the Court street side of the temple of justice. This space is far larger than needed by traffic and of late has been occupied hy the cars of men who would otherwise be com pelled to leave their cars in the streets. The other morning four cars were standing in the space and a teamster who had been accustomed to using the place looked at the array and moved away in disgust, feeling that his privileges had been curtails 1 again. The effect of a Rood stiff rain on transportation was pretty well shown yesterday. Somehow or other there is a marked decrease in the number of jitneys operated when It rains and be tween 5 and fi o'clock of a rainy aft- I ernoon this forces itself on . publio I notice. Folks who ordinarily go home lin jitneys are then forced to take to the trolley cars with the result that tho cars are crowded. Yesterday one car had over 100 fares rung up be fore it was seven blocks from the cen ter of the city and half of the people on the car had left it hefore it had gone fifteen blocks. It jammed local traffic Into a through car. On pleas ant days the Jitneys would have been running and the regular patrons of the car would have had breathing space. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ~ —The Rev.
