MORE HUMORS IF, as has been hinted, the govern ment has knowledge that Villa has been or is being financed from this side of the Rio Grande the public should be given full particulars. With our soldiers campaigning against this desperado in Mexico, aid from the United States in his behalf would be little less than treason. If Villa is being assisted by residents of the United States they should be arrested and imprisoned. If there is no ground for the rumor it should never have been permitted to gain circula tion. Too many such unfounded whispers and hints have come out of Washington recently for the comfort of a public that is fast losing all con fidence in those responsible for them. MOKE "FRIGHTFULXESS" MANV wounded soldiers slaugh tered. Fifty members of the Russian medical corps killed. Fifteen Sisters of Charity merciless ly murdered. That is the record of the latest example of German "frightfulness." Picture the dastardly deed. A Rus sian hospital ship lies peacefully at her moorings. Great Red Crosses are painted on her sides Red Crosses that even in heathen countries have been respected by savage combatants. Sixty yards away the ugly nose of a German submarine pushes itself from the slime that tlcats on the surface. A torpedo is fired. Then another, to make sure of the cowardly crime. Cries of distress and anguish, and the peaceful hospital becomes a shambles. Wounded men. physicians and women go down together to a watery grave. And yet Germany wonders that the people of the earth turn their faces from her. She pretends to be hurt because they have repudiated her and her methods. The wonder is that the armies of the whole world are not at her throat. WAR HELPS BUSINESS FROM almost every section of the country come frequent evidences of continued prosperity based chiefly upon continued demand for American goods from the countries at war in Europe. Some Industrie's are producing commodities in unusual quantities, though not for warring purposes, but in almost every such in stance the activity of the mills is due to the fact that the war cut off impor tations, or that the activity of war or der concerns has caused a demand for articles not directly connected with the war itself. From Peoria, 111., comes the In formation that immense fortunes are being made because of the demand for alcohol used In the manufacture of gunpowder. In fact, the demand for alcohol Is so great that trouble has been had in getting freight cars to carry the alcohol out of Peoria and Pekin,- 111. This market for alcohol has been a great relief to the corn growers of that section of the country. Because of an early frost, the corn this year was soft and not in demand by millers, but it makes just as good alcohol as first-class corn. For that reason the farmers are able to get a first-class price. From Seattle. Wash., comes the In formation that shipments of commodi ties bound for Russia are going over land to the Pacific (.'oast because of lack of ocean ships to carry the goods around Cape Horn. Five thousand loaded cars are standing idle in rail road yards in and near Seattle await ing an opportunity to transfer their contents to steamers bound for Siberia. The congestion at Vancouver, B. C.. is greater than at Seattle. One railway company at Seattle is building immense temporary sheds in which to store the freight bound for Russia in order to unload and release the cars and get them back to the Atlantic 'oast for use in shipping olher com modities bound for the warring na tions. So great is the difficulty In procuring cars to transport foreign-bound com modities that the Interstate Commerce Commission has taken up, of Its own volition, a review of the rules of the railroads concerning distribution of cars. The great problem is to secure 1 ■ SATURDAY EVENING, " C HARRISBUKG WF J the unloading of the cars so that they shal> be carrying freiKht to market instead of serving as idle storage cars. The report was received this week of the placing of an order by the Rus sian government for the construction of 250 submarines, costing approxi mately $70,000,000. The only incident which is discour aging to those who are profiting by the large orders from abroad is the recent action of Great Britain in forbidding the importation of a large list of com modities produced by this country and sold extensively in Great Britain, al though urgently needed by that coun try for carrying qn war. These are articles that might be classed as luxuries. Great Britain selfishly de sires to continue to purchase our wheat, cotton, meat, horses, leather, munitions and other war materials, but desires to exclude other articles the sale of which adds to our wealth, but drains the wealth of Great Britain. Even should this order be made ef fective, it is practically certain that the enormous export trade of the United States will continue as long as the war shall last, for the list of ar ticles necessary for the prosecution of the war Is an extremely long one. LESSON IN HARMONY MUCH is made by the newspapers of the friendly meeting of Colonel Roosevelt and Elihu Root in New York yesterday after an estrangement of more than five years, and with reason. No more significant occurrence has been reported recently in national politics. Roosevelt and Root have been re garded ever since the convention of 1912 as extreme examples of opposite political views. Root has been looked upon as an ultra-conservative, Roose velt as an ultra-progressive, and as late as six months ago it appeared as though they might never meet except in passages at arms. Whatever else may be said of either of them, it must be admitted that they are broad minded men, honest and patriotic, and that at this crisis in the affairs of the nation they are willing to lay aside personal feelings and come together on the broad platform of service to the country is a tribute to the bigness of both of them. But this meeting of these two for mer political antagonists has a much broader meaning than that, important though the renewal of a friendly un derstanding between these two great national figures unquestionably is at this time. When Root and Roosevelt can sit down together in amicable con ference, it is high time for others to forget factional differences and get to gether for an overwhelming Repub lican victory next Pall. If the big gen erals of the Progessive and Republican parties make a truce of their differ ences, of what boot is it for their lieu tenants to continue hostilities? "Politics was not discussed," said Colonel Roosevelt after the luncheon. Possibly not; but political issues were. The subject of the discussion was na tional preparedness, and national pre paredness will be one of the keynotes of the j1916 presidential contest. Pre paredness has such a close relationship to the management of the affairs of the nation, to our financial policy for the next four years, and even in a way to those well-worn old bones of contention, the tariff and the trusts, that it must stand forth as a very im portant, if not the most imporant, issue of the coming campaign. So that, if Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Root are united upon a common platform of adequate preparedness, they have gone more than half way toward composing whatever other dif ferences of opinion may remain be tween them. Whether politics was dis cussed or not. yesterday's meeting was easily the most significant political event of the year. It is to be hoped that the warring factions of the Republican party in Pennsylvania may take a lesson from Roosevelt and Root. IX COST OF LIVING A RECENT editorial in the New York Times, on the sugar duty, reads as though it had been taken from their 1912 hook. It says: This condition is specific regard ing sugar, but is the same in prin ciple as that on which all tariff re ductions are based, that a protec tive tariff Increases not merely the urice of imported articles, but also Increases the price of all domestic articles of the same sort. Per contra, a decrease in customs duties should, if this argument is sound, result in decreased prices. But did the Underwood tariff re duction bring this about? The cost of living is ' considerably higher now than it was in 1912-1913. It was higher in 1914, after the Democratic tariff law had been In effect some months, and before the war, than It was the year previous. At the same time the average fate of duty on all imports under the Democratic la.w shows a reduction of fifty per cent., compared with the Republican tariff law during 1913. As for sugar, with a reduction of twenty-live per cent, in the duty, un der the Democratic law, the price on Juno 30, 1914, was precisely, to a fraction, what It was June 30, 1913. | under the Republican law. The loss' In,revenue on sugar, by reason of re duced duty, must be made up by di rect taxation of our people, who re ceive no benefit from a lower price, j The only beneficiaries are the con- j 1 trollers of the Sugar Refiners' Trust, who import sugar at the lower duty ' rates and charge the same old price, and who were hand in glove with the 1 Democrats in the campaign of 1912. | Lk By the F.x-Committecmmn i . j About the only thing upon which the Democracy of Pennsylvania ap pears to be now agreed is that Wilson should be renominated for President. , | Meetings held yesterday and last ' I in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh developed that the differences between • | the factions of the Democracy are • | irreconcilable and that the resentment j over the methods of the reorganizers in 1911 and their apportionment of | patronage in 1913 is as great as ever. The Old Guard faction is growing in strength and its new slogan of anti -1 machine, while somewhat weather j worn, is being used effectively. f ! A battle is to be made against the | re-election at the polls of A. Mitchell | Palmer as national committeeman; a i j contest is to be made for control of ' the State committee and a general 1 tight for the election of national dele -1 gates who will represent the underdog ; faction is to be organized. Further | more. It is possible that the faction ■ I opposed to the present bosses will go | into the field against the nomination | for the forlorn hope nomination for ; United States Senator of ex-Judge • j Allison O. Smith, of Clearfield. There . will be opposition set up to any candi | dates for State offices which may have the rubber stamp of State Chairman I Morris. As for Morris every effort is j to be made to dethrone him. The plans are ambitious. The animus of the men opposed to the dominant ring is something fierce. ; But. it is said, that the money for the contest can be procured from some of i the men who fell beneath the steam roller a few years ago. If this is so there win We the usual Democratic i fight. —While the Old Guard leaders were ! meeting yesterday in Philadelphia under the presidency of Walter E. Ritter, of Lycoming, the bosses were [ sitting in secret conclave a few blocks I away. Palmer, alarmed by the objec ; J tion to him and seeking to get peace | in his own district, sat in with State 1 Chairman Morris, Bruce Sterling, of Fayette and some others and then hustled to Washington where It is j understood he will meet James I. Blakslee, assistant postmaster general and one of the brainiest of the re organization clique, in Pittsburgh a secret meeting of antimachine Demo crats was held to start the fuss in that section. —The Philadelphia Press, which I has always been more or less friendly j With the reorganization wing of the State Democracy, to-day prints the j 1 following account of the manner in j | which the antimachine Democrats in | tend to go after the present bosses: J ! "Foundations for the State-wide op- ! I position which the Old Guard ele -1 ment of Democracy expects to place ' in the way of the Reorganizer faction, j j were laid yesterday at a conference of j I State leaders at the Walton. The i meeting, which was held on the call i 1 of Walter E. Ritter, of Williamsport, | was attended by Judge C. D. Copeland |of Westmoreland; Charles'P. Donnelly j ! and other local Old Guard leaders, | I Judge John M. Garman, of Wilkes- 1 Barre; Congressman Michael Llebel, |of Erie, and others. It was merely I preliminary, however, to a State-wide I conference, which is to be called in the near future. If the study of condi ! tions which those attending the con ference agreed to make, proves en couraging. The one fact which was decided upon with unanimity, and 1 with practical certainty, is that a de- | termined war will be waged against ; the election of former Congressman , A. Mitchell Palmer, as Democratic; i National Committeeman. Those at- j J tending the conference yesterday were i jin favor of Congressman Liebel for | the National Committee, in opposition I j to Palmer." —Newspapers of the State do not! I seem to lie growing excited over the j i resignation of Insurance Commissioner I Charles Johnson and the broadside he fired at the Attorney General or Gov- j ernor's stand with Mr. Brown evi- j ! denced by his acceptance of the! resignation. Pittsburgh, which is ac- : | customed to sudden developments in j ' politics, looks at the events as indlca- , 1 tive of a coming contest. The Phila- ! delphia Press intimates that some-1 I thing more may come along, while the i ! Democratic Philadelphia Record ex- \ | presses the natural hope that Messrs. i Brown and Johnson will continue their ! warfare. The Philadelphia Inquirer j prints a story tinged with harmony j talk to-day, but the North American talks fight. The Philadelphia Ledger | editorially denounces the conditions which have brought about the wrangle i and raps the Governor for permitting 1 some things to be done. The Ledger i has several times taken the adminis tration to task for the political activity iof officeholders. Scranton, Wilkes- Barre, Altoona and Williamsport papers devote much space to the news, but express no opinions as to the propriety of the Brown methods or the effect of the Johnson resignation, i The general newspaper opinion of the State appears to be that Johnson's resignation has told the people of the State what is going on and the next, move is up to the Attorney Gen eral. —Things continue to be lively in!

Haskin ATLANTA, GA.—Over a hundred thousand mules are now sold here every year, making this the sec ond mule market in the United States. St. Louis is the only city that does a bigger business in these hardy, long eared nionarchs of labor. Mule trading has been capitalized and incorporated and organized to a fine point in Atlanta; and yet it re mains—mule trading. It is still a matter of barter and haggle and bluff; farms and automobiles and all sorts of other things are swapped; and the man that thinks quickest usually conies out ahead. For the mule is one product that you can't standardize. He comes in all sizes, colors and dispositions, and is affected with all sorts of idiosyn cracies. peculiarities and blemishes. He can't be sold by specification, as big business sells everything else. With hundreds of thousands of mules to be marketed, It is no longer possible to barter and argue over each indi vidual mule, so they are sold in bunches of a dozen to thirty, and that is where the rapid thinking comes in. The man that brought the mules from the country, the commission dealer who is selling them, and the buyer who may be an officer from London, a Russian count, or a Chat ham county farmer, are gathered in the great barn which covers five acres. A bunch of nine mules are turned in to a little pen, where the men watch them, while a negro makes them race | THE .STATE FROM WTODflf] Reformers who favor the substitu tion of a more humane method of cor rection for criminals than the prison will find capital in the statement of 78-year-old James Hughes, who was, recently released from the Schuylkill county prison with the record of hav ing served a total of 4 8 out of his 78 years of existence in Pennsylvania and New York prisons. The old man, weakened in will and broken in spirit, is in a dying condition from tubercu losis. Employes of the Scranton Railway | Company refuse to accept the 2-cent an-hour increase offered by the man ia gement of the company in response to their demands. They insist on a flat rate of 30 cents an hour, which if granted will be in the nature of a seven or eight cent increase. All talk is with a view to harmony and no strike Is anticipated. A muskrat. is a muskrat, and a "spiced pussy" as the dear animals are sometimes called, is a rat whose ■ percentage is a whole lot more power i ful than musk. So says the I.ewlstown i man on his way home from prayer I meeting who saw a little animal' cross ibis dark pathway and thought it to be a muskrat. Slight proddings in the end availed much, and there was a hissing noise, followed by a streak through the air—and they buried poor Ira with a fitting sense of the proprieties. Pittsburgh Methodists are planning to lift the ban placed by that church on dancing and card playing and to arrange that it be made a matter of individual conscience. One wonders whether a love of principle or of dancing and card playing influences the proposed reform. Fifty coons have been purchased by Sheriff iMathues, of Delaware county, which he will liberate In thickly wooded hills for breeding. A coon club will be formed among the enthusiastic hunters of that section. Science and a bit o£ will ican up and down to show off their points. "What'll you take for the bunch?" demands the buyer. "A hundred and ten," is the answer. The mules are sold at an average price per head, no matter how many different values are repre sented in the bunch. "Cut out that little brown mare, and the big mule with the broke ear. 'Now what'll you take for 'em?" "A hundred and twenty-five," comes the answer like a shot. Continually the buyer makes new combinations, by adding or subtracting various ani mals, and each time the seller must revalue them In a flash. This fenc ing may go on for half an hour, un til one or the other thinks he has an advantage and closes the deal. Nat urally, the man with the greatest ability to judge mules and think fast will make the most money at this game. "You guarantee those mules sound?" demands the buyer, when the deal is closed. "If they ain't sound, I hope I never get home alive," pronounces the man from the country solemnly. That settles it. During the last ten or fifteen years, the mule has achieved a new import ance in the world. Here In Atlanta's stockyard twenty mules are sold to one horse, and the mules bring sur prisingly large prices while horses are almost incredibly cheap.

Most of them appeared to be coming to ward the city, which is interesting in 1 Itself. This Is the season of the year when folks "flit," hold sales and make I changes in the country, although just j why the hard-headed Central Penn ; sylvania farmers pick this period, which Is sure to be unpleasant, is hard to say. Probably for the same reason that we Inaugurate Presidents in the worst time of the year and in stall our Governors at a time that is sure to have weather which could be styled atrotlous. In any event there have been "flittings" for the last ten days and a pretty forlorn sigh it Is to see household goods piled on a big w M®n with the snow sifting in or the ■wind driving in sheets against tho rolls of bedding or else causing rivulets to run down the glass front of grand lather's portrait.
