MONDAY EVENING, AVGUST 0 J think we all know well ichat courage is: Xot thews, not blood, not bulk,, riot bravery Its highest title, patience. —John Davidson. THE FUTILITY OF IT are spasmodic indications i of life in the Progressive party. Now it is Colonel Roosevelt sug gesting Hiram Johnson for President. Again it is Hiram himself dwelling upon the "necessity of keeping the machinery of the Progressive party Intact." Heaven only knows what would be left of the Progressive party if its "machinery" were permitted to get entirely out of running order. Tbat's about all there is left of it, save in a few isolated communities where local conditions have given it a longer lease of life. To talk of a Progressive movement, for 1916 strong enough to count for anything save a reduction of the Re publican majority is nonsensical. There is neither rhyme nor reason to such talk. The Republican party holds the key to the situation, an,d it is not likely to make any move that will take from it the advantage it now has. Leaders who disregard the trend of the times will not be tolerated. Men who are trusted by the rank and file and who will merely carry out tha wishes of ithe majority will be at the helm of the next Republican* conven tion. There will be absolutely no chance for such objections as Colonel Roosevelt raised in 1912, when he re belled against conditions that he would have been happy enough to accept, as he had before, had he been in the saddle. The next Republican nominefe is unquestionably going to be the choice of the rank and file. And being such, he is going to be elected despite any Progressive or other opposition that may be developed, for the people are unquestionably of thfe opinion that prosperity for the country lies only with the restoration of the Republican party to p<wer in the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate. How futile is the Progressive hope. If in the heydey of his popularity, with the voters wrought up as never before. Colonel Roosevelt was unable to do more than defeat his old party and plunge the country into a quag mire of debt and depression, how do the Progressives expect to cut any figure in 1916, with the nation alive to the mistake it made and bent upon restoring to power the party that has always led it in the ways of pros perity and with the people convinced beyond doubt that they owe their pres ent deplorable conditions to the elec tion of a minority President and Con gress in 1912 ? WOMAN AND HER FUTURE OUR compliments to Dr. A. J. Read, 1 whose address before the Inter national Conference on race betterment at the Panama-Pacific Ex position last week made that gather ing famous. He was down on the program as a professor of hygiene. For all we know he may be a dis tinguished authority upon that very interesting and highly important sub ject, but there is not the slightest doubt in our mind that he is past master in the gentle art of "putting one over" on the alert gentlemen who preside at news desks in American newspaper offices. A hurried glance through the exchanges connrms the suspicion that the best of them "fell for" Doc Read. He got top positions under big heads on the best news pages of papers that would feel they were conferring a favor on a regular advertiser if they let him occupy an obscure* corner at the trifling charge of six dollars a line. Doc Read's method is as simple as It was effective. He talked about that universally. and eternally interesting subject, woman, and indulged in a bit of prophecy. He said that the ideal woman of the eugenic age will be plump, well rounded, but not fat. Just so. If the statuary that has been dug up from time to time is any criterion that is a fairly accurate description of the ideal when Greece was in its glory. Travelers tell us thai the pres ent day ideal in Persia is a bit better than plump; downright fat, not to put MONDAY EVENING, I j too fine a point on it. Down Boston 1 way they like 'em slender and with sold and intellectual mien. Cute ones, I a trifle under size, continue to win the ■ beauty contests in the southland, while Amazonian girls s«sm to make the strongest appeal In the free and un trammeled west. But In art circles and In the suit and cloak trade, the same girl Praxiteles immortalized continues to hold the palm. As for the future —well If the kind Doc Read describes haa managed to please from 'way back before old Herodotus discussed the prevailing I styles in girls down to the present it Is a pretty safe guess that it will be . the artistic ideal of the eugenic future. , Likewise the ideal probably will run [ about as strong to the hundred as it ■ now does. So cheer up. An Ideal is a state of mind, and nature, which has never failed yet, will continue to Bup- J ply enough of all kinds to satisfy all tastes—even in the eugenic age. VANDALS Ft the first half of the fifth century there descended upon the more 1 highly civilized races of Southern Europe the Vandals of lower and • middle Germany, a rude, ferocious, barbaric, destructive people who ! ravaged Gaul, Spain. Northern Africa and finally Rome Itself. With con tempt for art and with no eye for beauty they smashed and. hacked their way through the beautiful cities, the gardens, tlae palaces, the libraries and the galleries of their industrious and cultured neighbors. Millions of dol lars' worth of costly buildings, noble works of the sculptor's hand, the masterpieces of some of the world's greatest painters and literary gems without numbet went down beneath the ax and the flames that followed. We look with horror on such whole sale destruction and with loathing upon the people that perpetrated the outrage. But we have Vandals to-day. Har risburg has labored for years, as a city, to make its parks beautiful for its people, the State has given us a wonderful capitol and private citizens ,are doing their part to make the city a desirable place in which to live. Yet everywhere we find the destruc tive work of the Vandal. Flowers are ripped up by the roots In the parks. Playground paraphernalia is stolen or broken. Every public building in town bears the marks of marring hands. The river steps are broken by men and boys who throw heavy stones on them. It is about time for Colonel Hutch ison to add a clause against vandal, ism to the admirable rules he has laid down for his police officers. ,lail is the place for the Vandals, where they can exercise their destructive tend encies practicing upon the iron bars of a cell. THE COLUMBIA'S END ri what base uses we may return! Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander till he find it stopping a bungholfi?" Thus Shakespeare marvels at the transmutation of the atoms, that to day constitute the earthly vesture of an immortal soul and to-morrow are as the. dust in the street. "Imperial Caesar dead and turned to clay may stop a crack to keep the wind away." So it is with things inanimate as I well. The English monument at Waterloo has been melted into Ger man bullets, the forty-ton metal statue of Bismarck has been carted oft bodily from German soli to Moscow as food for Russian cannon, and now our own international champion, the Co lumbia, the yacht that twice defeated the fastest craft of her kind in the world. Is to be broken up to serve as charges for the allies' guns. The old yacht long since has been junk, but even when they relegated her glorious hulk to the scrap heap it is scarcely likely that her owners could have imagined its ultimate fate. Nor Is it likely that Sir Thomas Lipton dreamed, when from the deck of the defeated Shamrock he saw the Columbia hifll down in the distance cross the line a winner, that one day her hulk would he hurled piecemeal at a foe des perately assailing his Island home. XO MOKE RED LIGHTS COLONEL. HUTCHISON is to be commended for the energetic campaign he has waged to put the disorderly house out of business in Harrisburg. It was to be no more than expected that the people who depend upon com mercialized vice and its associated evils for a livelihood should look for some leniency in the period immediately preceding and during a municipal campaign such as that on which thi city is about to enter. But they cal culated without taking the temper of Colonel Hutchison into consideration. His announced intention to raid every place of the kind against which he can collect sufficient evidence will receive popular approval. Harrisburg has enjoyed a period of freedom from the open operation of these vile resorts and the people are ready to hold up the hands of a chief of police courageous enough to live up to the law providing for prosecutions in such cases. EXPOSITION* ATTENDANCE THE Panama-Pacific Exposition —with the exception of some of the inside amusement attractions, doomed from the first to failure appears to be paying its way. This in a dull year, with the dismal ex periences of Charleston and the none-too glowing financial results of the Chicago, Buffalo and St. Louie expositions, is regarded as remark able by some observers. Pacific en terprise and "get there" are given the credit by many who comment on the success of the San Francisco fair, and they deserve their share. But the European war—which once threatened to ruin the exposition—has been its greatest benefactor from an attend ance standpoint this summer. The New York World estimates Europe's monetary loss as a result of no American travel on the conti nent this year at not less than $25,- 000,000. The steamship companies alone, it is asserted, lost more than $1,000,000 in fares from this source. It is evident that thousands of those accustomed to spending their sum mers in Europe went Instead to the coast and that, while the exposition missed the attendance of many Eu ropeans, the balance is far more than made up by American visitors wjio, but for the war, would have been in Europe. Lk tKKQijIcCLKLa, By the Ex-Oommltteeman One of the interesting matters In connection with the disintegration of the Bull Moose organization in Penn sylvania is the way men who enrolled as Washington party men are asking whether their party will have tickets in cities and counties. In most of the counties the enrollment of Washing tonians is only a shadow of former strength and in several counties the committees have taken no interest and erstwhile rampant Bull Moosers are taking more or less hand in Republi can primary contests. Just what will become of the men who enrolled as Washingtonians if there are no pri mary tickets to speak of is one of the warm weather questions. Another funny thing connected with the Washington party is that the Democrat* seem to have utterly failed to gobble up the former Republicans. Early this year the Democratic lead ers in this State stopped fighting over patronage long enough to pass out In terviews that their party stood for everything that Roosevelt wanted, al though he has said it did not, and in vited the Washingtonians to enter their corral. In hardly a district in any county in this part of the State have the Democrats gained any Bull , Moosers. —Announcement that Governor Brumbaugh is to make an address to the Republicans of the Second Maine district on Thursday is believed to mean in this city that he will not re turn to Harrisburg before he goes to the Panama-Pacific Exposition on Au gust 24. Official papers are being sent to him at his summer home in Wayne, Me., and are coming back regularly, so that it looks as though he will not come back for the encampment of the Second brigade at Indiana this week. —Spencer F. Barber, steward at the almshouse the last year, has decided to run for Director of the Poor. This is taken to mean that the Dauphin county Democratic bosses have de cided to drop Charley Boyer. —The Eleventh ward Republican committeemen and workers will meet to-night at the office of Dr. R. L. Per kins,-2001 North Second street, to dis cuss candidates for ward and precinct nominations and to get the campaign work lined up. —A new development in the inter esting Philadelphia mayoralty situa tion is that several of the men who were suggested for the nominations have refused point blank to run. Re ceiver of Taxes Kendrick declined to run and came out for Congressman Vare. Public Service Commissioner John Monaghan has been brought to the front considerably in the last few weeks. Congressman Vare is expected to make some sort of an announce ment after a demonstration In his favor by South Philadelphians. The name of Judge Barrett Is again to the fore. —Ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart is among the men suggested by the Committee of Philadelphia business men who have come out with a list of available candidates for mayor. Oth ers are Col. Sheldon Potter, ex-Minis ter William Potter, L. J. Kolb, George Wharton Pepper. Dimner Beeber, John T. Windrim. Rodman Wanamak er and others. —Director Porter, a Philadelphia candidate for mayor, has been given the job of regulating jitneys. —Announcement that District At torney W. W. Rice, of Perry, will be a candidate for re-election will prob ably lead to a battle between Rice and his old opponent, J. M. McKee. —Ex-Congressman R. E. Diefender fer came back to life long enough the other day to make a protest against closing a Montgomery post office. One by one the reorganization accidents fade. —George Sullivan, who was promi nent here in the canvass for eleotion of Speaker Ambler, is a candidate for county commissioner of Montgomery. He has been president of the Lower Merlon commissioners for some time and is one of the representative men of that portion of the county. —Congressman M. M. Garland Is be ing boomed for the Republican nomin ation for vice-president by Pittsburgh labor men. —Daniel G. Brose.presldent of North Side Chamber of Commerce of Pitts burgh, is a candidate for council in that city. —Mayor Caufflel, of Johnstown, is having- troubles of his own with coun cil again. Samuel Gompers has declined to come out for Vare for mayor of Phila delphia. —E. J. Mullln of Laporte, and John G. Scouton, of Dushore, are candidates for Judge In the Wyoming-Sullivan district against Judge C. E. Terry ant! it is going to be a live contest. William H. Hughes, Scranton print er, is already out for the legislative nomination in the first district next year. TELE6RAPH PERISCOPE —The current issue of The Father land is typical. It starts off with a criticism of American policies and winds up with a picture designed to make one believe that George Wash ington signed the Declaration of Inde pendence with one hand while he drain ed a bottle of St. Louis beer with the other. —First thing we know Austria and Germany will be at loggerheads over the possession of Poland. —English statesmen should read a little history before contesting the freedom of the seas with the United States. —"A wife with $30,000,000." sayß an up-State exchange, commenting on the recent marriage of a poor man to the richest girl in the country, "would tend to make a husband cowardly In her presence." The writer evidently meant more cowardly. —Down Philadelphia way men are "prominently mentioned for mayor" only between rumors, as It were. HAKRI6BURG ififefr TELEGRAPH When a Feller Nee By BRIGGS HAIftPINJ »SSSs N. "HE 0"J«-V WJAV J . / OioE CAM CLEAM / / o^° Us6 j\ I Qw-ooy \ ' ' '*'I "jl "' 0 The Modern Sport of Archery By Frederic J. Haskin THE thirty-seventh annual meet of the National Archery Association of the United States in Chicago this month brings to the fore again this sport, one ot the oldest activities of man thus surviving as a popular amuse ment. "So long as the new moon returns In heaven a bent, beautiful bow, so long will the fascination of archery keep hold of the hearts of men," writes one of its modern devotees who has had much to do with the revival of the sport In this country. There is held to be a deep-seated fascination about winging an arrow to its mark. For one thing, archery had its beginnings In the long ago primitive, and the man who loves the pull and twang of a good bow is but harking back to the days when the race was young. As a modern sport archery has many advantages. Men and women may prac tice it together. It develops supple ness and grace of body and skill of hand and eye. It is peculiarly associ ated with the open and the sunshine. It requires a knowledge of wind, an appreciation of distance, to attain the highest skill. Despite all its advantages, archery re mains a sport almost unknown to the great majority, though zealously pur sued by its few devotees. It is safe to say that few persons outside of the circle of its membership know anything about the Archery Association of the United States, while the information I that many of these still hunt wild game with the long-bow. like Robinhood of old, is not widely known. Archery by Auto A unique combination of the oldest sport In the world and one of the youngest, is that followed by the mem bers of the Sunflower Archery Club, of Atchison, Kan., members of which go hunting with their bows and arrows in modern, high-powered touring cars. They spin along the country roads until some squirrel in the top of a tall tree, some rabbit pausing in the middle of the road, or a dove on a dead limb, offers a tempting mark. <-Then one of the archers dismounts and tries a shot. The proportion of misses among the veteran archers Is by no means Targe. There are a number of cases on record of rabbits killed on the run, and even of birds on the wing, brought down by these,expert bowmen. The modern yew bow is not a weapon to. be despised in the hands of a man who knows how to use it. It Is the re sult of a steady Improvement through the ages, is vastly better than any In dian weapon, and is even superior to the famous English long-bow of the fif teenth century. It has a pull of from forty-three to fifty-five pound«, and it takes a strong man to do good work with it. The arrow is long and polish ed, terminating in a knob or a steel point, according to the use it is Intend ed for. The pointed arrow drawn well to the head will penetrate an Inch of seasoned pine and will drive the full length of Its twenty-elght-lnch shaft through the body of an animal. In hunt ing the arrows are carried in a leather quiver at the belt, and the tips of them are painted red so that they may be more easily found, tor the huntsman must recover his shaft. Marking them down after a shot requires almost as much skill as the shooting. Compared to hunting with a shotgun, where even a beginner may make a fair percent age of hits, shooting game with a long bow Is sportsmanship of the highest order, for it gives the quarry rather more than a fair chance. Good Form Bard to Attain That archery is not more generally practiced in this country is probably due to the fact that an instructor and an organization are almost essential. One cannot shoot alone with anv great pleasure, and it Is hard to learn to shoot without guidance. For good form in archfcry is as hard to attain as in other athletic sports. The archer must stand with his heels about six inches apart, his left side toward the target, and the bow extended perpendicularly in the left hand. The arrow must be drawn to a certain point Just below the ear, the arrow steadied In the crook of the left forefinger. All these details of holding and 'pulling the bow must be perfectly mastered before one can be gin to attain much sßill. Then, too, the expense of modern archery Is considerable. A good yew bow costs about $25, and arrows are $lO a dojen. The target is a straw af fair, painted In spots and circles, and representing a respectable additional Investment. There was something of a revival of Interest in archery In thjs country a t f«w years ago. ' At that time the (port was strongly recommended to women by experts in physical culture as one of tne very best means of Improving the fl f u r e - and there Is no doubt & 18 an exc ellent exercise Am«S?»« p, it pOBe L blnce ,he lays of the ?' i£ ere have been many skilled archers, and there are a number e'/he sex making high scores in thi rl I ciler y Association to-day. let o« e i Thompson Seton, the natural ist and originator of the Boy Scouts trt°o£^ tls L pr 2 moted 'merest in arch- ? e boys by devising a game in which a target was painted upon a te y^e . r ". . 8 was hld< len In the woods, hunted for and shot by the toy archers. Although the sport has been greatly stimulated in these and other seems still to remain a diver sion of the few. Where Archery Told The first weapon of primitive man in i almost every part ot the world, the bow reached the zenith of its greatest | use during the fourteenth century when Kotunhood and his bowmen ruled in Sherwood forest. It was the English long-bowmen who won for their coun try the decisive battles ot Crecy and Polctires against the French. The ar mored French knights hurled them selves in vain against the long lines of English bowmen, who shot their ar rows into the air so that thev rainea down upon the helmets of the horse men, often entering the eye-holes. This was one of the first demonstrations of the superiority of infantry over cav alry. During the fifteenth century the long-bow seems to have been the de cisive factor in many battles. Then began a decline of its dominance, hastened by the introduction of gun powder. ° So deep a hold had archery in the national life and story of Britain, how ever, that the Government sought in every way to encourage its practice. Archery associations were formed and meets were held. These were affairs of freat splendor and social importance, "hen canopies were erected on the fields, and the archers strolled about in elaborate and brightly-colored cos tumes. The shooting, however, became subordinated to the social phase of the amusement, with the result that it rap idly declined. Later a revival took place, and the sport was much more scientifically prac ticed, jnd has enjoyed an uninterrupted popularity in England to this day. It came to the United States about 1828, when an archery club was formed in Philadelphia, and remained active for many years. Meantime, a number of email clubs had grown up in various parts of the United States, but especi ally in the West and Middle West: In 18.9, these were gathered together un der the name of the National Archery Association of the United States, which has ably supported and systematized the sport ever since. The meet last year was held at Haverford, Pa., and that the year be fore In Boston. Chicago, however, has always been the center of American archery Interests, and the return of tho annual meet to that city will doubtless Insure an unusual success. WHO STARTED THE WAR? Now that the Kaiser says that his conscience is clear and that he did not will the war. it is In order to wonder who the guilty party was. Certainly Great Britain, still unpre pared after a year's hostilities, can hardly be accused, and France and Russia, who are not much better off, can make the same plea. Probably Servla started it In order to conquer Austria-Hungary and get a place in the sun and a window on the Adri atic.

Horner, the Republican county chairman, who gets over the county a good bit in a quiet way, be lieves that there will be considerable interest taken in national matters in " ./ a i 6 , canj Paign although the presidential election does not come until next year. People in Dauphin county are pretty well booked on na tional affairs he finds as he goes among them and the chances are that the presidential campaign of 1816 will begin with the year. International prob. Jlf 18 .'. Moxlco ' tariff matters and other big questions are themes for discus sion almost everywhere and this means v.!) Interest taken in the county and municipal election which is set tor this year. The chances are, according to some men who observe political trends, that there will be a bigger vote polled this year in the county than since 1912, Interest in local contests ajnd jn the coming presidential elec tion being mentioned as causes. The enrollment is not taken as meaning very much as it occurred this year at a. time when people in industrial lines were busy and those in rural districts were working about the farms. It will be recalled that In 1914 there were many people who failed to enroll in Dauphin county and yet the vote out side of the city at the November elec tion was of the variety to confound the prophets. The city registration this year is to be a real sizable one according to City Chairman H. F. Oves, who has been preparing along with the other men active in political affairs to get a large percentage of the voters listed. * * Young folks who started out yester day morning for the mountains or the woods got a Sunday ducking for which they had not bargained when th«y started early in the day. Tttfe storm came up rather unexpectedly and peo ple who had counted on spending the day under shade of trees out in the country or in woods discovered that there are few more uncomfortable places than a grove of ti%es with a well developed thunder storm rattling about the neighborhood. A good many bedraggled parties came into the city in the afternoon. « • • After a lapse of months applica tions are again being made for in-. corporation of electric companies. When the Public Service Commission meets to-morrow it will have eighteen applications for incorporation sched uled for action. This reminds one of the days some two years ago when a couple dozen electric companies used to be incorporated in a day and Gov ernor John K. Tener, who used to sign all such papers, got tired of amxlng his name and sent word to another department that as long as the enter prises were legal and entitled to charter papers he wished they would take counties at a shot instead of townships piecemeal. Eugene Guy Miller, who is the new manager of the Hotel Walton in Philadelphia, which is owned by the Goelets, is well-known to many Har risburgers. Mr. Miller was head of this St. J«mes for a time, we is a grand son of John Guy, who for years con ducted Guy's Hotel, one of the old timers of Philadelphia, and his father was also in the hotel business. The martens which live up around the Board of Trade building have be come disgusted with the weather and are showing it by perching on tele graph wires in the evenings and chirp ing their opinion of the meteorological conditions. The other night about twenty perched on wires crossing Mar ket street near the Senate and ar. ranging themselves in tiers attracted much attention by the display and tha racket. • • * Another place which Is a great favorite of the birds is the home of Edwin C. Thompson, president of the Citizens Bank, St. Thirteenth and Derry streets. This house, which is one of the landmarks of the Hill dis trict, is surrounded by a garden most attractively kept and the wall of the business building which towers above It on the east is covered with vines. The birds froltc and forage In the gar den and then go to the vines for homes, chatterlhg about it all day long. • • • W. C. Fownes. Sr., of Pittsburgh, who has been visiting here, has played on most of the golf courses In the State.
