This method of cam paigning does not appeal to the fair minded man of any party. If H>enry Ford wanted to be a candidate for popular choice in the presidential race , In this State, the way was open to him. The law gave him ample opportunity , to file nominating papers that auto matically would have placed his name j on the primary tickets. Instead of I availing himself of this opportunity he I denied that he was a candidate and j Insisted that no papers be filed in his! behalf. As an avowed candidate he would liHve had no more than a passing no tice. As a "sticker" candidate his can didacy is drawn to the attention of (every man who goes to the polls. That method of campaigning may be smart, hut it is not honorable. Ford as presi dential material is utterly impossible. In the White House he would be worse than Wilson. Friends of the automobile manufac- ! turer assert that his name is being | used in Pennsylvania without sanction ■ and In an effort to win votes away' from Governor Brumbaugh. If that be - true, then Ford is being made a cats- j paw and he owes it to the voters of ! this State to tell them that unscrupu- j lous politicians are endeavoring to have him pull their chestnuts out of the fire. His continued silence will convince most people that he is a party to the sticker campaign for the : sake of the cheap advertising to be ] derived. In either case his candidacy Is not j to be taken seriously. This is no time ! to consider for President a man whose i avowed Intention it is to strip the i United States of even the meager mili- ! tan' force it has for protection against M exico. GREATER THAN WILSON IT is one of the pleasing pastimes of Democratic orators to describe Wil- j son as the greatest President since Washington, thus placing him above such eminent Democrats as Jefferson and Jackson. Judge Samuel White, j •who delivered the principal address at the Jefferson Club Banquet in Port- j land, Oregon, recently, set up a new j idol for Democracy by frying that! history does not record the name of! any man in all time who has ren dered as great a service to mankind find the cause of the plain people as lias Mr. Bryan. Since we have Wilson placed above Jefferson and Jackson, and Bryan! placed above Wilson, we now know who's who in Democracy. RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE GENERALLY speaking, there is a disposition among railroad magnates throughout the coun-i try to avoid further alienation of public good will by avoiding doing the things which brought about the reprisals of recent years. There are still, however, here and there officials of the old type who should be rele gated to the back seats that, they may ! not Interfere with the gradual restora- j tion of confidence and better relations between the public and the railroad interests. Restrictive and coercive legislation having to do with the regulation of public utilities usually reacts upon the patient public. This has been the tendency for several years and the public Ir at last realizing that any drastic law which cripples a public utility—railroad or any other service corporation—is bound to counter upon the innocent bystander. Starting at Washington, the game of regulation has been played in every State and municipality so that to-day the in creased cost of operation and the slowing down of development have fallen upon the general public. Of course, the people have in some meas ure been responsible, but in the final analysis it must be understood that the arbitrary and unreasonable rail- | road official started the avalanche. It is interesting to observe, how-1 ever, that things are changing for the I better and that the antagonistic atti- i FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBUIIb TELEGRAPH MAY 12, 1916 tude of the public has given place to a more rational consideration of the service corporations. It now remains to be seen whether thiß favorable change will be checked by a return to old methods upon the part of rail road officials. It is squarely up to them whether returning prosperity shall cause a relapse to the old atti tude of the public be damned or a more intelligent course involving fair treatment of patrons and co-operation with the public at large. THE ROOSEVELT CAtfDIDAOY THE Roosevelt candidacy becomes j complicated. There are indica tions that the Colonel is making ; a serious bid for the Republican ; nomination in such manner as to leave j his political and personal prestige un- I impaired should the Chicago conven- j tions decide upon some other candi- i date. On the same day that Perkins is sued a statement to the effect that the Progressives are not tied to Roose velt and are ready to accept any progressive Republican, the Roosevelt Nonpartisan League, with headquar ters in New York and Guy Emerson as secretary, came out in the Satur day Evening Post with a four-page advertisement telling the public why, in its estimation, Theodore Roosevelt 1 is the logical man for President at this time. The prodigality of the space purchased for the advertise ment points suspiciously toward the well-filled purse of this same Perkins, who is not averse to spending his money lavishly when he has an end ! in view, and the skill with which the ; advertisement was prepared shows plainly that it is no hastily concocted scheme of irresponsible enthusiasts. Indeed, the student of Roosevelt literature will find here and there ear- j marks of what possibly may be the j revisions of the ex-President's own ! pen. To further complicate the situation, the Colonel is out in an interview to -of\in which he endorses this effort at the partisan Roosevelt League, I is not a caAlfi le maintaining that he j while the League V ln other words. , I onel for President, on Col- j as chief executive he wou?JJ n< * that best guarantee of peace in the j States, he denies that he is seeking the nomination and endorses the League's campaign, because it upholds j preparedness. Out of the whole confusing muddle I two conclusions may be reasonably deduced—that the Colonel wants the i nomination if he can get it and that j he is maneuvering for a position that | will enable him to pose as the power j behind the throne if he cannot have | the presidential honor for himself. j HF.SI I.TS OF PROHIBITION CULLING a few interesting para graphs from recently gathered statistics one learns that— "Hydes," the finest saloon of Seat tle, has been remodeled as a tea room, with beautiful decorations, oriental furnishings and comfort conveniences. Hundreds of Seattle's leading women ! are Its patrons. The Raymann Brewery of Wheeling, jW. Va., is now the P. O. Raymann I Company, engaged in meat packing. The I'needa Brewery of West Vir ginia is now a milk produce company. I The Benwood Brewery (West Vir- j ! ginia) is now a chemical and soap : j plant. The Fairmont Brewery (West Vir-; i ginia) is now an ice and milk products plant. The Huntington Brewery is now a ; meat packing plant. The Cedar Rupids Brewery is now j I a yeast factory. j The lowa City Brewery is now a | creamery and produce company, j The Star Brewing Company, of Washington, Pa., is now a paint, oil and varnish company. The North Yakima Brewing Com- ; pany, of Washington, is now a fruit: i by-products company. Here are a few choice morsels for \ those to chew upon who have been arguing that prohibition confiscates property. It doesn't. Prohibition merely turns it to better uses. 'I III', CALL FOR HELP AGAIN AGAIN comes ' the call for help from hungry Belgium and North ern France. That the death rate ; j among noncombatants in the enemy- : occupied territory will increase alarm- i ingly within the next few months if I bigger and firmer aid is not tmme- j diately forthcoming Is the one con- j elusion to be drawn from the recent j : reports of Herbert Hoover, chairman ! of the Commission for Relief in Bel- ; I gium. According to tiie report, lack of sup- i plies forced a reduction of the daily 1 ration of the destitute population al- , most to the starvation point. Thou- | | sands of destitute daily besiege the I relief stations begging for food, and j hundreds of communal kitchens, at | i which the rations are distributed, are j without the necessary meat and grease I ! base for the making of soup. It is a fact, that all the meat shops I arc closed and the people were buying and eating the town dogs until stopped ' by the authorities. There are no potatoes in the coun try, and a steady and adequate supply is absolutely necessary to prevent the spread of scurvy. The investigators found no vegetable In the market ex cept a little celery and a good deal of dandelion leaves. The heavy task of providing food for these helpless thousands rests with the United . States. Doubtless the people will respond as liberally as in the past, but few Rive up their hard earned money without due consid eration, and it is impossible to banish the thought that in feeding the con quered multitudes behind the German armies we are meeting an expense that rightfully belongs to the imperial gov ernment. We have heard much prattle of benefits following in the wake of German occupation, of the rehabili tation of industry, the reconstruction of demolished buildings and the efficiency of the re-established local government, but the fact that thou sands-of persons of the districts held by German troops are starving belies all the fine words with which German proposandists have been so lavish. A government that permits its people to starve in what a few years ago were rich and prosperous localities will have some difficulty impressing its virtues upon the people who are paying its grocery bills. "pt>v>vo4jCtfa>vta By the Ex-Committeeman ■ =C=xJ Democratic and Republican chief-1 tains who have been figuring in the : primary contests will make their final J moves to-morrow. Dozens of meet- j ings will be held in various parts of |the State and candidates for nomina tions will close what is generally ad- ; mitted to be the most surprising cam- i paign held in this State in twenty j yea rs. Senator Boles Penrose has ex-! pressed confidence in the outcome of the contest for delegates and the Re-j publican State committee and in the next day or so it is expected that some statement of the claims of the State administration side will be i issued. In the Democratic camp there have been interchanges of the bitterest words and the scrap of the reorgan ization and rehabilitation factions has ' been thoroughly enjoyable. The friends of A. Mitchell Palmer insist that he will win hands down in the contest at the polls for national com mitteeman, but Michael Liebel, Jr.. the | candidate of the opponents of Palmer and his pals, says that their hour has struck. —The Brumbaugh campaign head quarters has been silent for several ; days, but it is understood that it has been issuing tons of literature and that some eleventh hour stories will be sprung which will be worth read ing. The last move of the headquar | ters in announcing a Dimmick com ! mittee after Dimmick had declared for Penrose appears to have caused j considerable smiling. —Senator Penrose will make a speech in Philadelphia to-night and it is probable that he will have some remarks of rather heated character to make. The anti-Penrose men say '■ that he Is only saying what he thinks without regard to what the great mass |of the people think. However, the j Senator was never more confident j than he appears to be this year. —The Scranton Times of a few days ago contained this interesting item: ,"F. W. Fleitz, Brumbaugh leader Ha?, has given his endorsement to State tK M- Kepliart, candidate for candidate Yet", and Charles A. Snyder, of whom are Visitor General, both slate Fleitz is aistfehaior Penrose's to support Colonel R. A'. n F his friends rose candidate for alternaVyP s ' Fen —Congressman B. K. Focrtftt'B®- 1 Lewtsburg, seems to have stirred iifi | the animals by a resolution in Con- I gress prohibiting the production of I the "Birth of a Nation" in Washing i ton. —John R. K. Scott's friends have been getting busy in this city and vicinity and are placarding many places. Scott has sent word to friends here that his campaign engagements prevent him from visiting Harrlsburg. —District Attorney Rotan has called a public meeting in Philadelphia to discuss the charges that police are un duly active In politics and it is gen erally regarded as a big move by the Penrose-McNichol forces. Mayor Smith last night defied his enemies to do their worst. Candidates for Congress in this sec tion of the State do not seem to have been bothered about preliminary ex penses. Very few of them returned payments of any kind. —Philadelphia is the city of politi cal meetings these days. The loans were urged at big meetings last night, while in other sections of the city Brumbaugh partisans and Vare men urged votes for their candidates. Senator J. P. McNichol at a meet ing called the Governor's slate "a mongrel ticket" and said that he would not say anything about the Gov ernor because "he has troubles enough already." —The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day calls upon the Governor to clear him self of charges by asking the men in charge of the bank where the alleged Kolb loan for him is said to have been made to make a statement. —Judge Charles L. Brown, who was attacked in a petition Max Kauffman handed to the Governor, said yester day that It was "malicious." The Gov ernor has turned the papers over to Attorney General Brown. —The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times of to-day says: "Postcards signed by G. Wasson, Republican na tional committeeman, are being cir culated in Allegheny county and probably all over the State. The card shows for whom to vote as State Treasurer, Auditor General. Repre sentatives in Congress-at-large, dele gates-at-large and district national delegates, but no attention is called to the fact that Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh is trying to get the in dorsement of Pennsylvania for Presi dent. Pictures of Theodore Roosevelt are printed on both sides of the card and effort is being made to show the fight is in his interest and not In that of the Governor. The fact that there is an absence of any instruction of how to vote for Governor Brumbaugh for President is an indication that his managers at least have abandoned his candidacy. Make Raiding Unhealthy [Evening Ledger. Phlla.l The raid of Mexicans upon Boquillas and Glenn Springs, Tex., need surprise no one. There Is no adequate protec tion of the long international border. Mexicans- have been making raids across it for years, their frequency de pending upon the condition of affairs In Mexico and the activity of the Texas authorities. They will continue so long as the government In Washington hesi tates to use firmness in dealing with the subject. The only policy that can bring them to an end is the pursuit and capture of every raiding band and the sum mary punishment of the leaders. We are supposed now to have a working agreement with the Carranza govern ment which permits our troops to cross the border in pursuit of bandits, or whatever else they may be called. The captain of the Texas Rangers showed how the work was to be done when he was sent to K1 Paso In 1892 to put a stop to the activities of a band of thirty-seven Mexicans who had been terrorizing the country thereabouts. The captain knew where the men were encamped in Mexico. He took his rangers with him across the border, surprised the marauders, shot every one of them and returned. It was all done in less than 48 hours. So long as Mexicans enjoy immunity tney will continue to make raids. As soon as they are convinced that every raider must pay with his life or liberty for his offenses, raiding will become unpopular, and one phase of the Mexi can question will be disposed of.

Just a Toy Army [Philadelphia Inquirer] Quotation from a Washington tele- j j gram: "Senator Borali to-night urged that I additional troops be ordered to the! border and said that any man or party ! in Mexico which sought to embarrass; the task of protecting American in- j : terests be treated as enemies of the' 1 country."

General Funston said this eve 'ning: " 'X haven't any to send." " No, he hasn't any to send. "Why > ' not? Because our army, which is cora i posed of excellent material, is a TOY 1 ARMY. j On Monday President Wilson listen ed to some misguided milk sops con- I j nected with an organization which) calls itself the American Union; Against Militarism. Now no one wants' militarism. It is the curse of Ger j many and in the hands of Germany has sown much of Europe with tens! iof thousands of graves. Militarism j lis the building up of a gigantic mili-j I tary institution which is at the com- ; mand of an ambitious cabal iind de- j signed to browbeat and control any . nation upon which greed fixes its ; bloodshot eyes. Against such men there must be a proper defense. And that is all that preparedness means in the I'nited States —an army large: enough to defend our rights and keep | | out the invader. The invader has I j actually appeared and he comes from 1 Mexico. President Wilson said to the milk sops: "There are not men enough in the i existing American army to patrol the I Mexican border. That is the mere j physical men. And yet it is obviously | the right thing to do to keep the dls- j | orders of one country from flowing 1 i over to disturb the peace of another country. That is not militarism. That | is necessity." ! And yet in the face of these facts. | the House of Representatives has [ dared to throw its unpatriotic body, I diseased with the germ of GERMAX americanism, in front of the onward march of preparedness and has de clared its intention of refusing to de velop the TOY ARMY into one of re spectable size. The House of Representatives, un- i ; der its present direction, is a disgrace j to the United States of America and i a dangerous menace to Its free insti- j | tutions. i It richly deserves to be repudiated j i at the November polls, and It will be j jif there is anything like a genuine j patriotic sentiment pervading this) j Nation.

The arrangements have all been completed and the allotments of eggs made, numerous sportsmen hav ing agreed to look after the distribu tion and to make reports on results. This is the first time that the State has gone Into the game hatching business I on an extensive scale and it is figured i out that it will be cheaper to raise the • ; pheasants than to buy them. The eggs have all been bought from places I which have been investigated by the State authorities and the egs are dis patched to game protractors who will send them to sportsmen who have fa cilities for protecting the pheasants during hatching and during the growing. Numbers of pheasants have been secured and will be given the eggs to hatch. The result of the hatching will be to materially increase the number of pheasants available for shooting this Fall in the opinion of State officials.
