WHERE HONOR BELONGS THE honor of initiating and car rying to completion the vast public Improvement campaign which is to he the subject of the muni cipal celebration now being planned belongs to no one man. Rather it was the work of a vast number of citizens, many of them laboring very effective ly far beyond the bright rays of official limelight, but very enthusiastically and effectively nevertheless. In placing credit where credit is due the rank and file of the people who voted the loans and bore the burden of taxation uncomplainingly and with a firm be lief in the future of the city must not be forgotten. The filter plant, the parks, the flood prevention and sewer measures, the playgrounds, the paved streets and all of the other changes wrought to make Harrishurg a better place in which to live must be charged up in the last analysis to the people themselves, however much their ac uities may have been led and direct ed by those in authority or in position to assist with advice and suggestion. Therefore, it would he unfortunate indeed if, in designing a tablet to commemorate the completion of this great campaign anH mark the first step toward further improvements, ] the work of the past should be marred and participation in future campaigns discouraged by perpetuating in metal the name of any one man, or the names of any group of men, as having been responsible for the splendid achievements of the past. So many took part and so many are deserving of special mention that obviously it would be Impossible to present in the brief space available the names of all of them, and to omit even one who should be included would be unjust and discourag ing. However much individual citi zens may have done toward the suc cess of the public enterprises in ques tion the-honor of accomplishment be longs to the community as a whole, and to the community and not to the individual, therefore, should the pub lic improvement tablet, be dedicated. FOR HYPHENATED AMERICANS OSWALD GARRISON VILLA RD, publisher of the New Tork Evening Post, was born on Ger man soil and had a German tather. For that reason we recommend the perusal of a speech he made Satur day at Stockbridge. Mass., to all Amer icans of hyphenated tendencies what soever their origin. Foreigners becoming American citi zens should be made to understand, Mr. Villard said, that there can be no divided citizenship or loyalty or al legiance under the American flag; that no one can accept political obligations here while at heart loyal to another social system, another entity or an other code of laws. In opening his speech Mr. Villard quoted from an address made by Carl Sehurz at the celebration of the latter's seventieth birthday, sixteen years ago, in which Mr. Sehurz said that no mat ter how warm the affections German- Americans had held for their native land they had never permitted those affections to Interfere witli their du ties as American citizens, nor to se duce them to use their power in Am erican politics for foreign ends. "How amazed Carl Sehurz would be to return to us to-day to find that that has come to pass which he deem ed inconceivable," said Mr. Villard "that German-American affection for their native land has interfered with the proper attitude of the great bulk of these toward the land of their adop tion. He would find to his horror that at this moment their presence on this MONDAY EVENING, i soil does not help to preserve peace and frienshlp between their two par ent nations, but adds fuel to the flames of bitterness. The very thing he inveighed against all his life —the development of a political solidarity among German-Americans—he would to-day find urged by practically all who profess to be leaders among them. Naturally Schurz would scan the horizon for some discriminatory act on the part of our government, or some manifestation or racial preju dice against German-Americans. But he would find nothing of the sort. So far as the Federal government and States are concerned he would dis cover nothing changed from the day he left us." All this is pregnant with thought for the American with German leanings sufficiently pronounced to impair his loyalty as a citizen of this country. But Mr. Villard strikes the keynote of the whole situation when he said, again referring to Schurz: What could amaze him more than to find unnumbered Germans who, like himself, came to this country to escape the very militaristic autocracy they now uphold, to-day denouncing the nation that adopted and sheltered, fed and clothed them. | He then asked that ff it were true, as contended, that the German kultur and political system were superior to the scheme of life and government In America, why the hordes who have flocked here did not go to Germany in stead. ' Here we have the situation in a nut- | shell and the application fits Ameri cans of French, Austrian, Russian and 1 British descent quite as much as those \ born in Germany. If the native lands from which they fled to escape mill- j tary service or obnoxious laws are so superior to the United States, let ' them go back. We want no man in ' this country who does not put the ' United States above all other nations. The only hope for those who per- i sist In their hyphens Is that their chil- dren and their children's children may , have higher moral scruples and a i proper regard for the government that ] guards their welfare and their lib- \ erties. i j A UNITED PARTY HOW devious are the ways of ! political argument and to what 1 illogical conclusions may facts be marshaled. Some years ago when it chanced that few contests marked the Re publican primaries, Democratic news papers told the public that Dauphin county was dominated hy bosses, that the young voter had no chance, that political Independence was punished by oblivion and that reward came only through subservience to the "Ma chine." The restoration of the ma chinery of the party to the rank and file and the open primary, with a free field for all comers, were demanded In clarion tones by those who hoped to profit hy putting their political ponents in a bad light. This year, with the woods full of Republican candidates, are these critics of former years as fulsome with their pratse as they were vehement with their censure? Are they telling the voters that all must be well within the Republican party and that at last the rank and file have come into their own? Ah, no! That wouldn't be "gooa politics" from the standpoint of the little band of Democratic politicians whose only hope for ¥ power in this county has been dissension within the Republicans. They are tell ing us that the Republican party is "split," that faction is allied agatnst faction and that the primary contests will be carried to the general elec tions. That may he their belief or /heir hope, but it is far from the fact. The truth is that the Republican party was never in any year more closety united than at this time. To be sure there are candidates aplenty in the field for the Republican nominations, hut that, to quote from the aforemen tioned critics, indicates only a healthy condition within the party and an as surance of victory at the polls. As one prominent candidate put it In dis cussing the matter, "if Republicans were not confident that their ticket will sweep the county in November not so many of them would be seeking nominations." That sums up the situation In a nutshell. Whatever may be the aspirations of leaders, the fact re mains that the number of Republican candidates has been greatly Increased from the generally entertained belief that to be nominated on the Republi can ticket in Dauphin county this Fall ' is a practical guarantee of election in • November. Men do not contend vigorously for nominations that are but empty | honors. They do not put their energies into a primary campaign for the privilege of leading a forlorn hope. If the primary contests are unusually animated In Dauphin county this year it is because the candidates feel cpnfl dent of Victory at the general elec tions. ' It is a settled fact that whoever is nominated by the Republicans two t weeks hence will be elected. The party . organization will stand behind the - nominees, as It always has done. The r primary activities should be taken for 1 what they are—signs of a wholesome interest in party affairs and of a sin t cere conviction that this is another Republican year. i Ck "PuuvoifttfutZa By (he Kx-Cbmmtttecman —feenator Boles Penrose, who spent Saturday night here on his way to Somerset to attend the encampment of the P. O. S. of A., appeared to be very confident of Republican victory not only in Philadelphia, but through out the State this Fall. The Senator said that Republicans were confident everywhere and that the registration and enrollment showed the trend of the popular mind. The Senator has a number of engagements to speak this month and will tour a dozen or more counties. —The Philadelphia and Pittsburgh registration Is of a kind to cause many Democrats and Inveterate reformers and independents to wail. In Phila delphia the registration of the Repub licans "was tremendous and the Bull Moose movement appears to have dwindled away down. In Pittsburgh the situation was the same and no one appeared to take the Democrats ser iously. —James I. Blakslee, assistant post master general, and one of the main cogs in the Democraic machine, dis appointed a lot of York county Demo crats on Saturday when he failed to show up for a speech at the Demo cratic pow-wow. Blakslee, who had been very assiduous In attention to York Dem'oerats when he needed their aid in pulling over the reorganization, sent no word why he did not appear. Secretary Wilson made a speech. —Senafbr Vare says of the Phila delphia situation: "There is nothing to it but a clear Republican sweep." —An Allentown dispatch says: "Charles F. Berkemeyer, the original reorganization Democrat of the county, and chief booster here of A. Mitchell Palmer, has resigned as spe cial census enumerator at a compen sation said to have been $7 a day. When Palmer started reorganization, Berkemeyer took up his cause, and was named a chairman for this con gressional district. The Old Guard here got on the Palmer band wagon and Its leaders shoved Berkemeyer aside. He said: "The reason I re signed is owing to the fact that on account of the deficit In the 'National' Treasury X was not paid for three months, and that salary is still due me. If they run the government into debt so they can't pay an holiest worker, why, I don't care for one of their Jobs. —To-day is the second registration day In first and second class cities and Saturday is the last chance in third class. —An Atlantic City dispatch to the Philadelphia Ledger says: "Organi zation leaders buried the hatchet and got behind Thomas B. Smith for Mayor of Philadelphia In real earnest here to-day. This was singularly fit ting, for it was here, on the porch of City Chairman Lane's hotel head quarters, that the plan to make Smith the harmony choice r>f all the factions was worked oi.t and many believe consummated hours before that his torical session in Philadelphia on last Tuesday." —Here is an interesting story from Sharon: "Candidates for political of fice throughout Mercer county are aroused over the receipt of a letter from the election officers of the North precinct of the borough of Farrell In which they have been invited to con tribute extra compensation for their services at the polls. Generally speak ing, the candidates have taken the letter as a piece of effrontery on the part of the election board. It is said that some of them have sent in their contributions. The reason assigned in the letter for the request is that the polling of 700 votes will require the board to put in two days' work. It Is hinted that the work will keep the election hoard away from their regular duties, thereby causing a loss."

The feature mentioned was the great cavalcade of pure-bred stock which took place around the cinder path in side the race track. Percheron, Shire and Belgian horses led the procession, followed by cattle of all varieties and breeds, and four Shetland ponies brought up the rear. Expert stockmen said it was the best collection of pure bred horses and cattle ever seen on any similar occasion in the state. • ♦ • Woman suffrage added another link to the chain of power which its sup porters in Hazleton are forging.

Haskin l J The biggest pile of paper money that Uncle Sam ever stacked up has just dis appeared from the strongest vault in the world, built especially for taking care of it. This was the old emergency currency fund, created seven years ago and, for almost that time . watched over by treasury officials while it slumbered undisturbed and accumulated dust and cobwebs. The money is now all gone. There is. however, no alarm because of Its departure for It has °® e . n emancipated, put out among the rabble that It may be spent upon the neces sities and follies of life. Life Stofy of Hl* Pile But the life story of this huge pile of money is Interesting. There was a panic in the United States In 1907 and authorities attributed it to an unsatis factory currency system. Had there been a flexible system in operation, they said, there would have been no paiiic. . Thereupon Congress became much excited and stated, with permission to quote, that it would provided, an elas tic system. There was an entire ses sion devoted almost entirely to the en actment of what came to b* known as the emergency currency law. This law provided that the govern ment should manufacture $600,000,000 in paper money and that it should be stacked up In the treasury to await an emergency. The men who have charge of printing and distributing Uncle Sam s currency had never thought of so large an order before. But Congress had spoKen and It was not theirs to question. The money was printed, the green back and yellowback factory In Wash ington working night and nay to that end for many months. Five hundred millions is a neat sum, and even In paper money piles up considerably. Take this emergency fund, for Instance, When It was all printed it was found that there was 150,000 pounds of it. It would make seventy-live tons which would amount to about fifty two-horse wagon loads. One rarely thinks of paper money as being of such bulk that there is no f LABOR DAY REAL AMERICAN HOLIDA Y k ' j Labor Day is a real holiday for Am ericans, whether rich or poor, writes James B. Morrow in The Sun, (New York), of yesterday. Mr. Morrow says: Men of labor camo to America in the Mayflower. A printer and a car penter signed the Declaration of In dependence. George Washington was a surveyor at one time in his life. Lincoln worked as a day laborer. An drew Johnson was a tailor. William Howard Taft, after leaving college, was a newspaper reporter at $6 a week. The United States is a nation of workers. Labor Day, consequently, is not fof any class but for Americans In mass. The writer of this article has been interviewing men of prominence in all parts of the country. Few of them were born with gold spoons In their mouths, and those who were worked and worked hard. Better still, they wanted to work. Franklin K. Lane. Secretary of the Interior by trade is a printer. The Secretary of Labor in the Cab inet, Mr. Wilson, was a coal digger. He came to the United States when he was 8 years old on money borrowed by his father. The President's son-in-law and his Secretary of the Treasury, William G. Mcdoo, sold the Macon Morning Tele graph in the village of Milledgeville, Ga., receiving, *t first, three copies, on which he made 3 cents, apiece. After he had earned $3.24 ho bought several yards of linen, "out of which my mother made trousers for my younger brother and myself." Later he was a farm laborer. Still later he was a tun nel digger and a rich man. All the members of the present Cabinet except Mr. Burleson, Post master General, and Mr. Lansing, Sec retary of State, toiled at manual labor in their youth. , * Congress has among its members many men whose hands were orrce place to put It in out of the wet. Yet this was what happened at the Treas ury at Washington. The government had no place where it could put away its big reserve fund of money. If it were piled In a solid mass it would be twenty feet long, twenty feet wide and thirteen feet high. There were 5,000 cubic feet of it. It would make a pile of bills, one upon the other, two miles high. Strung out they would reach 8,000 miles. Flfially the government decided that, since it had the biggest collection of money in Its history, it would provide the greatest of safety deposit vaults for It. The comptroller of the cur rency is the man who has charge of giving out paper money. You never had a bill In your life that had not first gone into his vaults before It got out in the world and finally came to you. His office is on the second floor of the Treasury building in that corner over toward the White House. He can look directly out upon the windows of the east room where the White House brides are all married and where the tango is danced on reception nights. An Investigation revealed the fact that the basement In that corner of the Treasury building was not much used and It was decided that it should fur nish the spot where the great vault was to be located and In which the great fund should be filed away. The est authorities In the nation on the construction of vaults Into which the criminally mercenary might not in trude, were called Into consultation and ordered to build a container that could be trusted to preside over the destinies of the emergency . currency fund. This treasure house was completed and the vast stacks of paper money filed away on its shelves. So ingen iously were the stacks arranged that It would have been possible to take out i and ship $100,000,000 in a single day to stay a panic with no chance of los ing a penny. There was but one means of exit to - XContinued on Page 6.J SEPTEMBER 6,1915. stiff, sore and calloused from hard I work. Also men who, in the long ago, were poor. Elihu Root went hungry at times while studying law in New York. Champ Clark, Speaker of the House, went at the age of 10 to live with John Call, an agriculturist who could neither read nor write. The boy's mother was dead and his father an itinerant dentist, traveled from farm to farm and village to village on horseback. Next December Joseph G. Cannon will return to Congress. He, too clerked in a country store. Young Canuon's wages were about {2 a week. At the end of five years, when he left mercantile pursuits, he was getting $3 a day. Among the Senators, now serving, James A. Reed, the Missouri orator, drove a team to a harrow at seven years of age. Diminutive Robert Marion La Fol lette, at 14, managed his widowed mother's farm of 240 acres, in Dane county, Wisconsin. The land had been run down in fertility by tennants, and the La Follette family almost starved. Francis G. Newlands, now a very rich man and one of the Senators from Nevada, pawned his watch In California for money with which to pay his board. "I am competent," Reed Smoot, the Senator from Utah, said, "to earn my living in any woolen mill in the United States and in any branch of the busi ness—at weaving, dyeing, running the engine or keeping the books." Elsewhere than in lowa men are saying that Albert B. Cummins is of Presidential size. His father was a Pennsylvania carpenter. "I cannot remember the time," Senator Cummins said, "when I didn't know how to use tools. Unconscious ly 1 learned my mather's trade and was almost a full hand when I was 12 years old. Farm labor and carpentry helped me Into an education and paid for my coming to the bar.", "I suppose I must have begun to learn the printer's trade when I was 8 years old," William D. Howells, the dean of modern American literature, said. The late Joel Chandler Harris, the Georgia author, started his apprentice ship in a printing office when he was 12, getting the first year no more than his board and clothing. Some of the great railroad presi dents who had to climb the ladder rung by rung, were: Marvin Hughitt, creator of the Chi cago Northwestern: Job A. Edson, Kansas City Southern; William H. Carniff, New York, Chicago and St. Louis; William C. Brown, New York Central; Judge Robert S. Lovett. f"' The Searchlight ] «■ * AN EDUCATIONAL RESTAURANT An educational lunchroom has lately been opened at 189 Center street, Manhattan by the New York Board of Health for the benefit of Its employes. It supplies pure* food at cost prices, but the distinctive feature of each bill of fare is that, it gives the total caloric and protein value of each article contained upon It. Important facts concerning diet are printed upon the back of the cards and specimen menus indicate "the contents of a properly balanced meal.

BRYAN'S FUTURES PLANS [From Wilkes-Barre Evening News] I The most sensible thing that Hon. W. J. Bryan has said recently in the dis cussion of a wide and unassociated ' range of subjects is that "the work I that I have mapped out for my remain- I lng years does not Include the occupy ! ing of any political position." Perhaps he had in mind the suggestion that ne be a Presidential possibility In 1916, but the nation will rejoice la the conclu sion reached by the recent Secretary of State that three attempts to attain Presidential honors have been soul satlu tying. f J ?Ebemng Qlljat | Labor Day, which Is now observed as carefully as some of the older holi days'and with a good bit more atten tion from the peopls than the birth days of Washington or Lincoln, la next to Columbus Day, the youngest of the Pennsylvania holidays, and Is not so long ago that there was a good bit of doubt about whether to pay much regard to It. Any one who recalls the days of the Knights of La bor and the mystic marks announc ing meetings that appeared on cross ings and were attributed to some of their overzealous members will re member that for a fcime folks did not take Labor Day seriously. In the nineties some efforts were made through picnics and meetings, but for a time there was scant observance even in the public offices, some of which kept open as usual. Finally renewed legislative enactment brought the matter to public attention and fif teen years ago Labor Day began to take its place in the list of holidays which Harrisburg kept. It is now marked by a general dropping of busi ness with attendance at games or tak ing picnics. Another thing about La bor Day is that most people make a last splurge with their summer cloth ing because they know in a few weeks that the tracks of Jack Frost will be observed. This has been noticed for some years. •• * * Sheriff Harry C. Wells, who Is a candidate for one of the Democratic nominations for County Commissioner, ran up against a fallen boss the other day. He was in a county district where Democrats are not as plentiful as trees. He met a man acknowledg ing that he was a Democrat without fear and asked him if he would he for him. The man allowed that ha would vote for the sheriff and then added: "But, I ain't the only boss of the Democratic vote around here any more. There's a fellow moved In from the upper end and he lives a mile away and says he's a Democrat, too. Better line lip that fellow, too. No one else's been around." * * * A fat, elderly dog held up traffio in Market street for a long minute right when it was busiest on Satur day night, illustrating the care and kindliness of the crowds that thronged the street. This dog started from the courthouse about 8 p. m. on Saturday night. The sidewalks were jammed with the usual Saturday night crowd and here was a continuous stream of automobiles and trolley cars moving in both directions. One had to fight a way through the crowd and to duck the vehicles. Yet the dog went se renely on getting across the sidewalk safely and moving carelessly into the street. Automobile drivers slacked up and trolley cars stopped. Th 6 dog waddled across the street and got lost in the crowd In front of a "movie" place. But plenty was said. Attorney General Brown tells a good story about a trial In a Philadelphia court. It seems that he was in charge of a case in which a bolt of lightning did damage and was not guarded against. The court charged very care fully regarding acts of Providence or "major vis," as it is put. Next day Mr. Brown was met by one of the jurors who said: "Say, I served in the National Guard, but I never heard o£ ™ any Major Vis. Who was he? George B. Brusstar, chief of tha automobile division of the State High way department, was summoned to the post office the other day to receive a very important package by register ed mail. It was so important, ac cording to the federal people that It would not be delivered to any one but the chief. So he walked to the office, identified himself, signed the papers and got a very ordinary looking pack age. When he opened It there were two metal keystones for automobile tags, just the kind that the depart ment gets by the dozen each week from people who change their tags.
