' THE MARCHING HOST WITH the departure of the Har- ] Hsburg soldiers to the mobili- , zation camp at Mt. Gretna to day this city has again demonstrated | Its patriotism and its always-prompt j response to the call of duty. In all the wars of the country Harrisburg j ' has borne an honoroble part. Many | of the heroes of the nation first saw | the light here and the quality of the | < country's defenders who have gone I from the Susquehanna shores has not < been surpassed in any other section 1 of the country. t Whatever the outcome of the pres- t ent difficulty with our misguided ] neighbor on the south, it is certain | y that the men who go to the front! r from Central Pennsylvania will give a 1 creditable accounting under the flag: s of the Republic. While they are t away in the performance of the high- ( est duty given to men to perform they 8 may be assured that those whom they t love and who are compelled to re- r main behind will have the sympathy and protection of the reserve host t who will watch with eagerness the v events of the next few months. i a Notwithstanding the pessimistic watlings of a class of men and women who are given to dolorous criticism of everything partaking of military prep aration, it is a matter of pride with the average American that he can clearly view without mental reserva tion the unity of purpose and innate patriotism of his fellowmen. We are a complex people, but underneath and throughout all our activities is the strain of loyalty to Ideals, love of our institutions and a consecrated pur pose to defend, even with our lives, the liberty which always has been the highest heritage of our forefathers. So we send the boys away to-day with our blessings and our prayers In the hope that their personal sac rifices will serve to bind us together more closely as a people throughout the nation and teach that lesson of oneness and solidarity which those of other lands seem not to understand. ONE OF THE CITY'S ASSETS CITY COMMISSIONER GROSS has a lively appreciation of the im- portance of the river front as an asset of this city. Harriaburg is being talked about in all parts of the country because visitors and the thousands who pass In and out of the city on trains have seen the wonder ful treatment now known here and elsewhere as the "Front Steps of Har rifiburg." Mr. Gross and his asso ciates of the City Council realize more than ever before how necessary It is to permanently protect the ter race between the top of the embank ment and the granolithic walk at the bottom. Farley Gannett, the well known con sulting engineer, has generously plac eil his services at the call of the De partment of Parks and plans are now being worked out which will pre vent further serious damage from high water and the washing away of the embankment. It ought not to be a difficult mat ter to riprap the slope to the height of the average flood stage of the riv er, providing at the same time soil pots for the planting of matrimony vines and other shrubbery which will eventually cover the stone riprap ping. Even now the planting of shrubbery at the top of the slope and along the upper walk will have a tendency to hold the ground and pre vent the washing of the summer showers. Of course, with the receding of the high water the granolithic walk and steps will be washed and the stones now lying along the embankment placed where they will not furnish an invitation to the mischievous boys to bombard the steps. There is still much to be done be tween the Walnut and Market street bridges and in the proper planting of SATURDAY EVENING* the embankment In the older sec tions. North of th« pumping station something will have to be provided In the treatment of th« slope and the Department of Parks Is doubtless tak ing this matter under consideration with the rest of the problem. THE FIRST CAMP PICTURES THE Telegraph was able to give Its readers last night the first glimpses of war preparations at Mt. Gretna through the eye of the camera of Its staff photographer, who was the first news picture maker on the ground. To-night a full page of etchings made by the Telegraph pho tographer tells the story of action ■ and efficiency at Camp Brumbaugh, on the part of Colonel Rausch and those who have been assisting him in getting the camp site into readi ness for the arrival of the troops to day. This photograph service will be con tinued throughout the camp. The Telegraph will have its own photog rapher on the field and he will ope rate in conjunction with a corps of representatives who will see that the news features are covered adequately each day end that the last edition of the newspaper, which will be rush ed to Mt. Gretna by automobile each afternoon after 4 o'clock, Is distrib uted throughout the camp before dark. Special long distance telephone and telegraph lines will bring all the news from the camp and from the na tional capital to the Telegraph and a bulletin board at the Telegraph tent on the camp grounds will have all the very latest tips on the news | posted for the benefit of guards men and visitors. Everything will be done to "cover" this encampment In a manner com mensurate with Its Importance, and the I Telegraph by its exclusive automobile service will be able to give the sol diers all the latest news of the day, local and national, hours earlier than any other newspaper sold at Mt. Gretna. MUNICIPAL, DANCING > THAT municipal dancing is a 1 popular Innovation In Harris- ( burg was shown by the huge j crowd that took advantage of the op ' portuntty offered last evening to try out Front street between Boas and I' crster as a dance floor. The sugges tion has been made, however, that in the future the band be located some what nearer the dancing. And like wise, while we are in the suggesting mood, wouldn't it be wiser to hold the next dance in Forster street, for in stance, so that the main driveway of the city might not be blocked? The only disadvantage would be in the seating facilities, but it was observed that after the music started last eve-- ning there was very little sitting. There is much reason for the belief that the municipal dances are a wholesome influence in the community, as compared with unregulated public dances and it is safe to assume that with the growth of their popularity in Harrisburg, a way will be found to hold them in a somewhat less crowded section, as for Instance, Reservoir Park. The surroundings and atmos phere there are undoubtedly more conducive to the enjoyment of dancers and audience alike. There are those who may object to dancing per se, and these will frown upon municipal dances, but those who know that young people will dance doubtless will approve of surround ing the dancers with all the protection and good influences city regulation in sures. THE WILLIAM PEW HIGHWAY HERE'S to President William Jen nings and his associates of the William Penn Highway Associa tion! Following an enthusiastic meet ing of the governors of the association at Pittsburgh this week a similar meeting is to be held in Philadelphia when the final plans regarding this new highway across the State will be worked out. As has already been stated, Gov ernor Brumbaugh is deeply interested in this road which will open up the wonderful scenery of the Juniata valley to the tourists of the world. He Is doing his utmost to make available the stretches embraced in the route and which are not now in permanent shape for automobile travel. As is already known through a re cent interview with the Governor, *»e has directed the immediate improve ment of the stretch between Hunting don and Everett along the Raystown branch of the Juniata River, so that persons traveling east from Pittsburgh over the Lincoln highway may com plete the trip eastward via Everett and Huntingdon and thence through the Juniata valley to Harrisburg and on to Philadelphia. WOMEN AND PREPAREDNESS THE women of Harrisburg who belong to one of the various di visions of the preparedness asso ciation so recently formed are finding themselves called to duty far sooner than most of them anticipated when they connected themselves with the worthy movement. Many there were who smiled at the efforts made toward putting the na tion on a preparedness basis with no war in sight, but even the most skepti cal must now admit that the women who assumed leadership in the effort to place themselves in the forefront of patriotic service in time of hostilities or national catastrophe were more foreslghted than their critics. Harrisburg women did their part nobly during the Civil War and the Spanish-American War, and they can be relied upon to respond generously in the present emergency. The Days of Real Sport «... BY BRIGGS "~Po£tt£c4 IK 'p «.>UWG CcahXa the Ex-Committeeman Senator Penrose returned to Phila delphia yesterday from New York, where he had been in consultation with fellow-members of the Republi can National Committee regarding the plan of campaign for the Hughes and Fairbanks ticket. As a member of the committee ap pointed by Senator Warren G. Hard ing, chairman of the national conven tion, to confer with Ihe candidate for President, Senator Penrose met for mer Justice Hughes and expects to have further conferences with him and candidate for Vice-President Fairbanks. The chairman of the National Com mittee. who, it is expected, will be ac ceptable to the progressive element in the party, will be chosen next week. "Those of us who have been talk ing over the situation in New York," paid Senator Penrose last night, "are agreed that the prospects of Republi can success in the national contest are very gratifying. "There are evidences on every hand of the most potential men in the Pro gressive Party movement of four years ago returning to the Republican Party and showing an eagerness to work for the election of the Republi can national ticket. "Reports from every section of the country are of the most satisfactory character." Senator Penrose took an automo bile trip up the State to-day to visit friends, and to return to New York on Monday. The Progressive National Commit tee will meet in Chicago next Wed nesday, when it is expected that a let ter from Colonel Roosevelt will be road urging support of Hughes for President. —Congressman William S. Vare and Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown went to New York yesterday and also conferred with Mr. Hughes, relative to the political situation in Pennsylvania. Mayor Smith, of Phila delphia, was to have participated in the conference also, but was detained because of the departure of the First Brigade for Mt. Gretna. Another con ference with the Republican nominee was arranged for next week, at which Mayor Smith will be present along with Congressman Vare and the Attorney General. The meeting yesterday is believed to have been held largely for the purpose of discussing the selection of Republican Presidential electors from Pennsylvania. These electors must be chosen 30 days after the con vention. No move has been made so far in the selection of the electors,! | but it is expected that some action will be taken following the conference next week. It is probable that Mr. Hughes sought to bring about a truce between the warring factions in Penn sylvania over the selection of electors. Our Colored Soldiers (Syracuse Post-Standard.) "The senator (Vardaman) seeks to make a case for his pet aversion in the army bill. He solemnly express es his fear that under It negro regi ments will be recruited in the South which, in the hands of a 'hostile president,' may be used to oppress the whites. At the moment when a colored regiment Is proving so wor thy its traditions of glory in Mexico, this outburst is peculiarly ridiculous. It is gratifying to record that the senator who promptly poked fun at it was Senator Vardaman's colleague, John Sharp Williams. "The American negro makes a splendid soldier. He is obedient, j strong, courageous and satisfied. Hisj regiments are always close to maxi-! mum strength. He does not desert, j The Association for the Advancement of the Colored Peop'e has asked that,! in the army increase, there shall be two negro regiments. Their request should he granted.

The lack of an adequate standing army now brings up on the militia the hardship of a service against which they have thus far gamely forbore to complain, but which Is not properly theirs. tfhe present situation exposes the vice of the militia feature of the new army bill. Militia, as citizen soldiery, should exist for emergencies. They should not be called out on the routine duties which pertain to the regular army. With a federal ized militia, such as that in contempla tion, the difficulties and hardships of {■'agglng over 100,000 men from their livelihoods would be at least as great as those to-day. With another 100,000 regular troops kept permanently under arms the whole present trouble would be avoided. 'vJ^ 0 t hi n,S- s are to be hoped as the National Guard awaits Its marching i orders. May it perform manfullv the I full service required of it in the present | instance: and may it be protected from u f u ff. £ alls to remote service by the j establishment of the regular army on a | scale proportionate to the nation's j manifest needs.

The celebrated batteries of Rir.g'RoM, Ridgeley, Duncan, and Churchill, now directed by Lieutenant Ridgeley, did wonderful work. On this powerful arm of the service the Americans largely relied for victory and during the whole engagement the artilleries fought unflinchingly amid showers of iron hail. In a few minutes after the first gun the action became general; long lines of infantry were wrapped in an un interrupted blaze, and masses of Mex ican horftmen, flung forward on our puns, were rolled back in wild con fusion.

Camp Brumbaugh tc day has brought to the minds of a good many residents or the city the days when the Civil War soldiers and th© Spanish war men went forth. The Harrisburg commands in Civil War times were mustered at Camp Curtin, but they always paraded about the city and there are quite a few people who can recall the marches of the or ganizations. Generally, before a regi ment took trains for the front it marched into this city and the depar tures were as formal occasions as when the commands went to the Ex ecutive Mansion to receive colors from Governor Curtin. When the Spanish war came the organizations of the Guard mobilized at Camp Hastings, going by train. The Guard was a organization then and had units which were quickly enlisted to full strength while companies needed to fill out regiments were recruited just as was Company I of the Fourth infantry in this city. (lamp Hastings soon be came a very business-like place just as will Camp Brumbaugh and the organi zations did not get a chance to parade until they struck the practice marches at Camp Alger. Judging from some of the gossip which is being heard just now there are chances that after the National Guardsmen are mustered into the ser vice of Uncle Sam and sent on the way to the border that the camp wrill be maintained as a base for the organiza tion of volunteer commands. It is generally believed that the War de partment will start the recruitment of some volunteer organizations once the Mexican situation gets clarified. Thesa organizations would be like the 27th, 28th, 41st and 48th regiments which were organized at Camp Meade in 1899 for Philippine service, or in Hough Riders or lmmunes. The lat ter organizations came from southern States, mainly from gulf ports and were men used to the climate of Cuba. They were used for garrison duty and mustered out in this city. Clear weather of the last few days has resulted In many reports reaching 1 this city of improvement in the bass fishing. The start of the season was marked by about the worst weather that has been recorded by the State Department of Fisheries for an open ing week in years. However, since the waters have begun to fall in the small er streams some fair catches have been reported and it is believed that when the big streams clear up that there will be rare sport as bass are declared by State warden's to be abun dant and greedy. The news that Colonel George A. Zinn, of Mechanicsburg, has been or dered to Columbus, New Mexico, as an integral part of the United States En gineering Corps, will be of interest to his many friends in this city. Colonel Zinn is a soldier and the son of a sol dier, after whom the G. A. R. Post of Mechanicsburg is named. Zinn senior fought in the Civil War, and the Colo nel has himself graduated at the head of his class at West Point. He is mod est to a fault and would probably flay his informer were he to ascertain who had been telling tales out of school. For some time past the Colonel has been In charge of the River and Har bor Appropriation In Philadelphia. He left for the border the latter part of tnls week, on short notice from headquarters. Scenes along the Pennsylvania rail road this morning reminded one of the Spanish-American war days because from early morning groups gathered along the lines to see the troop trains go through. The Western Pennsylvania soldiers attract ed most attention because they came the longest distance, but they werci soon forgotten when the farewell dem onstration for the Harrisburg com mands got under way. The entire force of the Harrisburg '< Trust Company mobilized in the rear of its suite of offices yesterday after noon for the purpose of engaging with a large sized rat that made bold to in vade the territory occupied by the wo man folk of the institution. Amiil hoarse cries of encouragement from interested bystanders and the com bined squeals of rat and girls, the men who were prepared advanced as skir mishers, armed with brooms and whatever came to hand, to give battle to that rat, which had a chance of 30 to 1 for his life. After considerable excitement and much pursuing, the "big little" animal succumbed and was borne off in triumph by the tail. | WELL KNOWN PEOPLE —Judge C. B.
