WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? j
HIS partisan supporters are en- j
deavoring to create enthusiasm
for President Wilson by Insist- i
lng that all the people should "stand i
by the President." The people of the j
United "States haven't been doing any- j
thing else for the last two years, but
they are beginning to wonder just j
where blind support of the man in the
White House will lead them. Xo one
will question that he as President
f-hould have the backing of the people
in his foreign policies and to a re
markable degree men of all parties j
have indicated their determination to '
endorse whatever action he may find
necessary to sustain the national I
honor. Nobody wants to go to war, I
but the feeling is rapidly becoming j
widespread that a drifting policy Is
likely to lead us into international
difficulties as unfortunate as the sit
uation in Mexico, resulting from the
spineless attitude of the administration
toward the bandits who are now
ravaging the country south of the
Rio Grande.
In its effort to maintain the national
honor and keep us out of wr the
administration at Washington seems
to be sinking deeper and still deeper
in the quicksands of national unrest
and uncertainty. There is a belief in
well informed quarters that we are
drifting Into war with Germany and
that only a change of policy on the
part of the German government can
avert the break which seems to be im
pending. .
President Wilson seems to be in the
plight of the man who is putting it up
to the other fellow and who invites
trouble by failure to do the things
which are necessary to avoid a col
lision. A drifting policy undoubtedly
has led to the grave conditions on the
Mexican border and the same sort of
policy indicates similar results in re
lations between the United States and
Germany.
Every bright school boy and girl
should endeavor to win one of the
Telegraph's prizes for the best essay
on the city's public improvement since
1(91. We may expect these girls and
boys to express some interesting views
on the part the playgrounds and the
other features of our development
whfch have contributed so much to the
well-being of the big army of school
children.
LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
MANY prominent and active citi
zens already have expressed
through the Telegraph their
views upon the value to Harrisburg of
the great public improvement cam
paign. the first epoch of which is now
about to be celebrated. The keynote
of all this comment is the splendid
co-operation of the community in
every movement of the last fourteen
years for the welfare of all the people.
It has been in every way a remarkable
demonstration of intelligent public
effort supported by the highest type
of civic spirit and loyalty.
It is encouraging that with prac
tically no exception these citizens who
have thus far expressed themselves
declare that what has already been
accomplished should serve as stepping
stones to future activities. All are look
ing ahead to a still greater Harris
burg and a more prosperous and
wholesome and attractive city. All
realize, as must every citlsen, that our
future depends upon the united efforts
of the people; that mere individual
initiative is of little effect unless the
co-operation of the community as a
whole la assured.
Looking to the future of the city,
we must contemplate inevitably the
planning of suburban districts in such
a way as to give wide outlets and
ample space for the larger city that Is
to come. Our sewerage facilities, the
•paces about our homes', the character
of our housing, the provision for the
comfort and enjoyment of the people
—all theee elements are necessarily
Involved In the future of Harrisburg.
Fortunately for the community, the
wise men of our day are gifted with
imagination, and these are not con>
tent with past achievements, but with
TUESDAY EVENING,
unerring vision are mapping o\it for
the good of all those fundamental
things which are vital to the better
ment of the city and the happiness
and contentment of our people.
A REPUBLICAN YEAR
IF anybody doubts that this la to be
a Republican year let him consult
the Harrlsburg registration re
turns.
The Republicans outnumber the
Democrats almost three to one.
There are 9.135 Republicans, 3,271
Democrats and only SI2 Washington
party voters.
Men register Republicans he
cause they intend to vote the Re
publican ticket, and for no other rea
son.
If then, there are nearly 4,500 more
Republicans than members of all other
parties put together, what be
' comes of the fusion scheme to which
the Democratic bosses have been pin
ning their hopes?
It falls, of course, and all the harder
because there is every indication that
the Republicans will put Into the field
this Pall a ticket made up of un
pledged candidates of unsullied
reputation and -well qualified for the
offices they seek to fill.
The reunion of the Republican
party in this city and county is well
nigh complete. There is little left of
the revolting element of 1912. There
Is no room outside the party for any
element of it. The rules have been
modified so that the management of
the party organization lies directly
with the voters. They may change It
at will. The conservative and the
radical wings of the party have each
yielded something and they have met
on a common ground satisfactory to
both and prepared to sweep all op
position before them.
The registration and enrollment are
sure indications that this is a Re
publican year and that a great victory
awaits the party at the polls in
November.
HARRISBURG AND COLUMBUS
HARRISBURG extends fraternal
greetings to Columbus, Ohio.
While we are celebrating the
completion of fourteen years of public
improvement work, Columbus, too. will
be observing a municipal holiday. The
two events will transpire on the same
dates and are so nearly alike in pur
pose and import that they appear in
the light of almost perfect coincidence,
a3 the followinj account from the
Ohio State Journal will show:
Lest there be people still in Col
umbus who do not understand quite
what the big Fall Festival of next
week is to be. let us reiterate.
The Fall Festival is a civic en
terprise. It is intended to be a dem
onstration, along all lines, of Great
er Columbus. Tts activities, its
powers, its tremendous resources.
The purpose of such a demonstra
tion is for our own better and
truer self-appreciation as well as
for the instruction of any others
who may be visiting us. It will be
In a way an accounting, a marshal
ing of forces, a dress parade, before
we actually enter the battle of the
wintry season of work and achieve
ment.
We all know in a vague way that
Columbus in recent years has been
entering upon an entirely new
era of improvement and expansion.
Most of us are still ignorant of the
full extent of that expansion. The
Fall Festival is going to help us
to appreciate this. That is the rea
son why everybody is going to Join
In. Everyone who wishes to con
sider himself or herself as a citizen
of Columbus should be a part of
the Fall Festival as well as a spec
tator at it. The more fully each one
enters into the festival, the more
benefit will he realize from it.
From Wednesday to Saturday of
next week Columbus is going to be
the original smiling island; and
people who do not live here will
surely wish they did. L<ook up and
listen to the signs of the times, and
join in.
Harrisburg men and women who
have been striving for a bigger, bet
ter city will rejoice that they are not
alone in their aspirations and methods
of procedure. Columbus, it would ap
pear, has adopted the "Harrisburg
Plan," or Harrisburg has adopted the
Columbus plan, it matters not which.
Both are evidently made up of enter
prising people proud of their cities
and determined to make them keep
future pace with the stride that has
caused them to forge to the front dur
ing the years just passed.
Greetings, Columbus, and may you
have cause for many more su»h
nicipal celebrations. N
THE SCHOOL CELEBRATION
SUPERINTENDENT E.
DOWNES and President Harry
A. Boyer. of the school board,
deserve especial mention for the ef
forts they are making to have the
schools of the city properly repre
sented in the coming municipal im
provement celebration. Under Prof.
Downes the schools have made strides
of which the public in general knows
little and in this advancement of the
cause of education in Harrisburg
President Boyer has had a prominent
part. The team work of these two
faithful and efficient servants of the
schools will no doubt result In one
of the most enjoyable features of next
week's jubilee.
OVR SLENDER THREAD
HOW ftlcely are adjusted the func
tions of nature on which we de-
pend for existence on the whirl
ing old sphere we know as home. The
variation of a few degrees of tem
perature, a half dozen Inches of ex
cess rain and all our calculations are
upset. Those who have been observ
ing the unusually heavy rainfall of
the present summer say that It ha*
caused all manner of freaks. . Peach
trees that normally produce free
stones have grown crops of clings—
extraordinarily heavy crops, too. Corn
and other vegetables on the Hats have
bean of luxuriant growth, but often
tasteless or bitter. One wonders how
far from our accepted standards the
rain gauge and the thermometer would
hav« to vary to make life Impossible
In our present pleasant surroundings.
Not *o very far, It would seem, though
the fear that arises 1b quieted by the
thought that within the remembrance
of man neither has shifted to a de
gree that has caused more than tem
porary Inconvenience.

KUL
By the Kx-Oommlttermna
The big Republican registration
noted in this city appears to have been
general throughout the State. The
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh regis
trations are so big that Independents
ere inventing all sorts of funny things
as excuses, none, however, being quite
so laughable as that of the Democratic
machinists here. These sorrowing
democrats are now agreeing with.
Mayor Blankenburg. of Philadelphia,
that many registered as Republicans
because they wanted to be considered
so. but were not in sympathy with Re
publican organizations. Just what it
means, no one seems to know or care.
The big registration of the Repub
licans was accompanied in every place
by a decrease in the Democratic regis
tration and the return to the party
movement was very marked.
In McKeesport, a Bull Moose strong
hold, there were 5,2 00 Republicans
out of a total registration of 6,200.
In Lancaster over 6,000 of the 10,000
registered are Republicans. In Hazle
ton the Republicans registered 60 per
cent, of the total and the Democrats
fell to below 1.300. In Scranton the
registration is 20.101, of whom IS,III
are Republicans and only 147 Wash
ington party.
The Pittsburgh Gaxette-Times of to
day says: "Mr. Penrose endeavored
to secure assistance in his fight against
Mr. O'Neil. He told a number of
I-eople whom he visited that Mr. O'Neil
was the recognized Brumbaugh leader
in this county and if the commissioner
were re-elected his influence would be
used to elect Republican national dele
gates friendly to the presidential can
oidacy of Governor Martin G. Brum
baugh. Mr. Penrose said he wanted
to see the Repuolican organization of
the county elect the character of dele
gates that would insure the nomi
nation of the right kind of man for
President. As Mr. Penrose and the
other Philadelphia leaders had joined
with Governor Brumbaugh in select
ing a mayoralty candidate for Phila
delphia, the impression had gained
ground that the senator looked with
favor on the presidential candidacy of
the Governor."
—Colonel Sheldon Potter declared
in Philadelphia yesterday that he
would abide by the decision of the pri
maries. so far as his candidacy for
mayor was concerned. "If the voters
decide that they do not want me. but
tome other man for a candidate. I
shall bow to their decision," he said.
"We have all the parties we need.
What is needed is a sufficient interest
on the part of voters to exercise the
right conferred upon theip by the
Legislature to choose their candi
dates."
—On behalf of Director Porter It
was. announced that he would imme
diately resign as the head of the Phila
delphia department of public safety in
the event that he is nominated for
mayor. The failure of the Committee
of One Hundred so far to indorse the
action of its executive committee in
slating Porter and other candidates
for the primaries has given much con
cern to the friends of the director. It
is well understood that the action of
the executive committee has met with
considerable protest among the gen
eral committee.
—Columbia county courts have held
that mine inspectors may be voted for
in November and the names of can
didates will go on the ballot.
—York court Judges have been
prodding constables to make them get
after liquor law violators.
—Beaver county appears to be hav
ing one of the most interesting judicial
rows. There are six candidates for
the nomination, including Judge R.
S. Holt.
—The Fayette county grand Jury
has refused to approve more than
four of the roads which the county
commissioners desired to improve.
—Representative Fred Beyer is a
candidate for mayor of Philadelphia
on the Personal Liberty ticket.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
Count von Bernstorff must be cred
ited with the plainest kind of common
sense for not using the obsequious
Archibald as a messenger.—New Tork
Sun.
"Russians present compact fronts to
the Germans," says an exchange head
line. We understood the Russians
were presenting their compact backs.

Unless Professor Taft wants to be
President again let him beware of his
present activities on the Pacific Slope.
First thing he knows someone will
nominate him for 1916. He might
then be playing the role of the late
Grover Cleveland, elected President
one time, defeated the next and win
ning out on the third try. History is
fond of repeating Itself in politics as
elsewhere. —. The Herald, Washing

Ol'R TREATY OBLIGATION
[New York Sun.]
Will there be an end to the rubbish
that is talked and written about the
sovereign right of Austria-Hungary to
reach over into the United States and
prohibit her subjects sojourning here
from industrial activities lawful under
American law?
We have a treaty with Austria-
Hi ngary concluded in 1829, ratified in
1830 and proclaimed in 1831. It is
still valid as between the two govern
ments. Article I of this treaty pro
vides:
"The inhabitants of their respective
States • • » shall be at liberty to
sojourn and reside in all parts what
soever of said territories, in order to
attend to their commercial affairs;
and they shall enjoy, to that effect, the
same security, protection and vprivi
leges as natives of the country where
in they reside, on condition of their
submitting to the laws and ordinances
there prevailing."
Is it pretended in any quarter that
his Majesty the Emperor of Austria,
King of Hungary and Apostolic King
of Bohemia can establish a grievance
against the United States for extend
ing to his subjects sojourning in our
territory that very security, that very
protection and those very privileges
which we have contracted by treaty
to secure for them while they are
with us?
They have the same right as Ameri
can citizens to work at the manufac
ture of munitions; and the right of
American citizens is unquestioned.
WOMAN'S EFFICIENCY
[Scranton Tribune]
—Speaking of the efficiency of
women in man's occupations, who can
doubt It after reading that the wife
of a Missouri sheriff held off a mob
of one hundred would-be-lynchers.
while In the same state a woman got
a medal from the San Francisco Ex
position for raising corn.

TELEGRAPH'S PERISCOPE
—Even at that Hobson had some
thing on Bryan; he was kissed by
pretty girls.
—The Republicans start away with
a nice little handicap of three to one,
which makes all this Democratic chat
ter of a "hot campaign" read like a
paragraph from Life.
—Dr. Dumba Is guilty. We know
this from that fact that he has at
tacked the newspapers, which is the
last resort of the man caught with
the goods.
—Notwithstanding this scarcity of
dyestuffs, the Republicans are pre
pared to give the Democrats a black
eye.
—The fondest ambition of many a
man is to hear the honk of his own
machine.
—Theodore Roosevelt Is perhaps the
greatest man in the world," says a
Frenchman of letters on being inter
viewed after his arrival In New York.
Yes, that's It perhaps; and then
again, perhaps not.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AUSTRIAN'S NOT WITH DUMBA
To the Editor of the Telegrcph:
Steelton, Pa., Sept. 14, 1915.
Ambassador Dumba made deplor
able breach \n his diplomatic privi
leges, and let us hope that the Wash
ington government will as soon as pos
sible get rid of him. Dr. Dumba's
acts to instigate strikes in the Indus
tries In this country, where ammuni
tion is made for the allies, are absurd,
and we are most sure that our coun
trymen will never respond to the wish
es of his excellency.
Would any of our countrymen per
mit himself to be used as a tool, and
make trouble in this country. Strike
—starve to death, and probably be
shot down for doing unlawful acts.
And not the deplorable condition of
our countrymen in Europe enough for
Dr. Dumba and his Vienna govern
ment?
Dr. Dumba remarks that a ma
jority of his countrymen are ignor
ant of knowing that they are com
mitting crimes against the government
by working In the ammunition fac
tories. True, there are some ignor
ant, but not all; and those that are
ignorant can thank men like Dr.
Dumba and some of the same class
that we have in Steelton and Pitts
burgh. preaching In churches to their
flocks that their wool will be sheared
if they do anything contrary to the
wishes of Dr. Dumba. Some of these
retainers and followers of Dr. Dumba,
including preachers and ministers of
the gospel, are only working and talk
ing for their own selfish ends, and
when peace is concluded in Europe
expect their reward by securing bet
ter and more lucrative charges In
Europe than they have In this coun
try.
The Washington government may
rest assured that the wishes of Dr.
Dumba and his followers, including
certain ministers, will find scant re
sponse from his countrymen in this
land of the free.

EARTHQUAKE
By Frederic J. Haskir.
The next earthquake will probably
take place across the western end of
Kentucky and Tennessee, or in British
Columbia or on the Isthmus of Pana
ma. Such are the predictions of those
geologists who have reduced the study
of the movements of the earth's crust
to a most refined and useful science—
that of cataclysmic prognostication.
For it has become possible to know
much of the probabilities of earth
quakes In advance of their coming. So
highly developed has this science be
come that there Is good reason to be
lieve that a time will soon arrive when
nations will have bureaus of learned
men to issue warnings of their ap
proach such as are now prepared with
regard to the weather. Scientists have
foreseen the coming of half a dozen
such disasters of the past, thereby es
tablishing the possibility.
The ability to forecast earthquakes
depends primarily upon an under
standing of thetr causes. The points
of earthquake danger must first be
located and then studied. The geolo
gists have long known that they are
due to breaks in the earth's crust, to
what they call a "fault." a point where
there may be a slip of one surface
upon another. The earth, as it has
cooled off from the molten stage, has
contracted as most substances do In

We have It straight from the Lan
caster Intelligencer that stenographers
will henceforth be surrounded with
wire cages to prevent their employers
from flirting with them. Addressing
a woman's meeting in Boston, Mrs.
Charlotte Smith claims that a girl has
to endure it through fear of losing her
position. "These old sinners take ad
vantage of the situation," said she.
"On the other hand," added another
lady, "the wire cages would not be
needed if wives gave their husbands a
little more affection."
With the approach of the hunting
season, Deputy County Treasurer
Hartman, of Lebanon, is doing a rush
business issuing licenses. The hun
dred mark has been passed, and from
now on It will be a steady rush to
fill the demand. 2864 licenses were
issued last year.
If man were endowed with nine
lives, like a cat, Frank Shelhamer, of
Allentown, employed by the Lehigh
Valley Transit Company, would have
lost two of his but for the fact that
fate was with him. First, he received
a heavy shock from a live wire that
rendered him unconscious. This al

a great strain on that thin crust which
first got cold and hardened. In places
the crust has broken and pushed its
edges up. This has caused the forma
tion of great mountain ranges and of
continents.
World's Great Faults
The greatest fault in the world Is
that which has formed the Andes
and the Rocky Mountains and which
extends from Alaska to Terra Del
Fuego. There is a crack in the earth's
crust through all that length. After
the crack was made the pressure in
tensified and the edges have pushed
up as might those of a piece of paste
board at a break. So are high moun

Where there are high mountains

most likely to be still in operation.
Therefore there are more earthquakes

More and more memorials are tak
ing the form 6f substantial public im
provements Instead of mere shafts of
marble or bronze tablets. The late
H. H. Rogers, the Standard Oil mag
nate, has made Fair Haven in Massa
chusetts, his birthplace and for years
his summer home, an attractive place
for all tourists. He did much for his
home town. Among his other bene
factions is a quaint little inn (Tabitha
Inn) in honor of his grandmother, a
library in memory of his daughter, a
town hnll, the finest high school buira
ing in the State, a bridge to New Bed*
ford, modern streets and, crowning
all, a memorial church to commemo
rate his mother's memory. A recent
tourist says of the church: "This
church seemed to me as I sat there,
a memorial to all patient, self-sacri
ficing and ambitious mothers. The
main audience room is the most beau
tifully harmonious one I have ever
seen, with carvings of wood and stone
equaling the finest in the world and
the windows, ten or twelve, tell the
story of the Christ."
Speaking of memorials, there is a
growing disposition among rich men
and women now-a-days to perpetuate
their good works beyond the grave by
building institutions which will add to
the pleasure, the happiness and com
fort of the rising generations. One
gentleman remarked the other day
that it would be a good thing for Har
rlsburg if some one with sufficient
means should provide a building with
all the appointments for athletics, a
swimming pool and everything that
goes with such a proposition.
Congressman A. S.. Kreider is hav
ing a fine time these days going about
his district. He says that he has more
invitations for speeches than during a
campaign.
Some of the blackbirds which
showed signs of getting ready to leave
this part of the country a short time
ago have evidently changed their
minds because they are to be found
spread out over the fields for miles
around the city in the afternoon.
Great flocks of the birds have been
reported along the foothills of the
First Mountain in the last week, some
of them having come long distances,
judging from the way they remain
quiet, for blackbirds, for a day or so.
Dr. R. S. Naon. the Argentine am
bassador. who snoke at the recent ses

to be accorded this honor in many

president of the Argentine Republic in
advance of his return, which will
during this week. Dr. Naon will takl
with him the best wishes of many
Pennsylvanians, which were formally
expressed by the House of Representa
tives.
Speaking of traffic how many horse
drawn vehicles do you pass in a trip
of half the length of th« jtty. The
other day two men started from rront
and Market streets and went up the
river to Rockville. They passed two
carts and one market wagon. On an
other day two more men passed one
cart and three market wagons. There
was not a single delivery wagon from
the city passed, but there were ten de
livery automobiles passed In the latter
instance.
