One of the Important issues in the approaching campaign will be Postmaster General Burleson's management of the postal Eervice. The mails of members of the House and Senate have been flooded with protests of constituents against the action of postal officials. "The de partment itself," said Senator Town send. of Michigan, "has ben deluged <R-ith complaints of the people from all •sections of the country."

Lesher to assume charge of the central United States Army re cruiting station here, Lieutenant- Colonel Robert C. Williams formally relineiuished his post to take a month's leave of absence preparatory to taking up his permanent assignment. Lieutenant Lesher is a retired officer of the United States cavalry and was detailed here for recruiting duty from Lebanon. Colonel illlams has been in charge of the central station for nearly ten years and has not only built up the local station to a standard on a par with the larger cities of the East, but has developed the branch offices won derfully. Incidentally his departure from Harrisburg will be regTetted by a host of friends. Colonel and Mrs. Wil liams and their daughter will leave for a month's visit among friends in Ken tucky, Ohio and other points in the Middle West. By that time Colonel Williams expects to have received his permanent assignment—whether it will be to the Mexican border or some p°" in the Philippines. Colonel Williams has had no inkling. He will return here before leaving for his new command.

MONDAY EVENING, PENROSE ASSAILS REVENUE MEASURE Prepared Without Skill or Sys tem; Democratic Tariff a Failure Special to the Telegraph Washington, July 31.—Senator Pen rose, as the ranking Republican mem ber of the finance committee, returned to Washington two weeks ago after a long absence. In the last fortnight the senior senator of Pennsylvania, who has helped frame Republican revenue measures in the last fifteen years, has made an exhaustive study of the Demo cratic revenue bill still In the finance committee. When the measure is reported to the Senate, after many changes to be made by the majority, Senator Penrose is prepared to attack it in many essential particulars. He was found to-day in his office and consented to give his views as to the effect the bill would have on the country. He declared the necessity to raise such enormous reve nues was due primarily to the failure of the Democratic tariff. "It is no exaggeration to say that the revenue bill which has passed the House of Representatives and is now pending in the Senate is one of the most unsklllfully drawn pieces of leg lslaton which has ever appeared in Con gress with the backing of a standing committee of the House or Senate," he said, in reply to a question as to its effect on business. "It may be that bills have been offer ed by individual responsibility and ini tiative which have shown similar lack of knowledge and proficiency, but in that respect few or none have been worse than the present bill, which comes with the full authority of the committee on ways and means with its Democratic majority. It is argued that the necessity for this legislation grows out of the extraordinary increase in the appropriations for the army and navy and the fortications of the coun try. Such contention is only calculated to deceive the people and has no foun dation in fact. Under the revenue leg islation passed by the present adminis tration there has been a constantly growing deficit in the public treasury. The revenue receipts have failed to balance the expenditures. Points to Democratic Extravagance "If there had been no preparedness program, and if the appropriations for the army and navy had only been such as heretofore, there would still be a deficit and the necessity for additional taxation. This is due to the extraor dinary extravagance of the present Congress. It is estimated that from 15,000 to 20,000 additional places have been created under this administration during the last three years at an an nual expenditure of some $40,000,000. The promises of economy made when the administration came into office have been, like many other campaign pledges made at the same time, com pletely overlooked or violated. "Then Congress has made appro priations in an improvident and lavish way, and apparently without any re gard to the linmcial condition of the revenues, which alone would be suf ficient cause for a bankrupt treasury. The last Congress appropriated SIOO,- 000,000 more than any of its predeces sors in the face of the Democratic promises of economy and before any preparedness program had been start ed by the administration. Projects in volving government ownership and verging on socialism have been au thorized to the amount of millions of dollars, and apparently without" any thought that the richest public treas ury is capable of exhaustion. Many of these projects were in no way urgent, and could, in -view of the other ex penses connected with preparedness of an urgent character, have been well postponed until a later, day, when the revenues of the government would have been in better shape to meet them. "Thus $20,000,000 has been author ized for a nitrate plant; the rivers and harbors bill exceeded the appropriation of the last Congress by $22,000,000, despite the efforts of the Republicans to savethe entire amountof $42,000,000 appropriated this year; the bill to help the States build public roads commits the government to an expenditure of $85,000,000; a bill providing for flood control calls for $50,000,000 more of public money for a project of doubtful utility; the rural credits bill appro priates $15,000,000 and provides many fat offices for deserving Democrats specifically In the bill kept out of the civil service; all salaries are much higher than any authorized in legis lation under the Republican regime; the shipping bill will require another $50,000,000 to build ships to meet an alleged present emergency; then the armor plant provision, invading, as it does, the field of private enterprise, will expend $11,000,000 for which the government will realize little if any benefit; a public building bill author izes some $30,000,000. $170,000,000 Could Have Been Saved "In addition to these schemes, call ing for money to be raised by taxing the American people, are other propo sitions carried in the various appro priation bills for which an aggregate of $45,000,000 is appropriated over and above the amounts carried in last year's bills. This vast sum could have been pruned down and probably a large part of It saved with the exercise of care and scrutiny. "To sum up, these various items, including only the actual appro priations, amount to the enormous sum of $170,000,000, which might have been to a large extent saved, but to which should be added obligations i'or flood control, river anti harbor projects and public buildings, another SIOO,- 000,0000. "This is all exclusive of prepared ness requirements. Tax on Munitions Called Sectional "The tax on munitions of war looks all right in theory, but practically, as provided for in the bill, it is most ob jectionable. In the first place, it pro vides for a tax on grosu receipts, which is evidently unfair and improper, be cause gross receipts are no indication of the amount of profits received by a. manufacturer. Again, the tax is sec tional, in that it is imposed on manu facturers of shells* and ordnance and certain materials entering into the manufacture of munitions, as copper and gunpowder, and fails entirely to observe the principle of uniformity which should prevail in every tax bill, in that it does net impose any tax bur den upon cotton, produced in the South, which enters to the amount of many millions of dollars into the manufacture of gunpowder and mu nitions; or of zinc, produced in Mis souri, which al3o enters into the manu facture of munitions as much as cop per does. And so we might go down the list a long way, showing the sec tional, ununiform and inconsistent character of the tax on munitions. "Pretense is more to extend a pro tective duty on dyestuffs. This is a confession on the part of the Demo crats that there is merit In protection, and the conclusion seems to follow that if the dyestuff Industry is to be established in America by protective duty, why not every industry entering to the requirements of the American people. But, apart from that, the dye stuff schedule is admitted to be en tirely inadequate. No investment will be made under the provisions of the bill relating to dyestuffs. It is a fraud and deception and will be entirely in effective. "A tariff commission is provided in language which is meaningless and which specifically indorses the Under wood tariff doctrine. It is already sug- OPPOSE WILSON'S U. S. PATERNALISM Danger of His Legislation Be ing Enacted Is Pointed Out Special to the Telegraph Washington, D. C., July 31. The tendency towards governmental pater nalism as evidenced by the legislation enacted by the Democratic party con stitutes one of the most serious evils of political history, according to an an nouncement by the Republican Pub licity Association. Destruction of initi ative, according to the statement, is the principal drawback of governmental ownership. The statement follows: "Deplorable as is the record of this administration in the destruction of American enterprise through the en actment of a tarift-for-revenue-only jaw a far more serious feature of that record is found in the marked ten dency toward paternalism. The Demo cratic party has evidently lost confi dence in the integrity or ability of the businessmen of America, for that party seems to deem it wise for the Govern ment to assume the ownership and management of various enterprlseb heretofore conducted by private con cerns. "The evils which grow out of this tendency canot be measured in terms of money. We can make a fairly ac curate computation of the destructive effects of the Democratic tariff law, but we shall never be able to compute, in money values, the Injury which the American people will sustain through a policy of paternalism. The destroying Influence of public ownership upon the creative, constructive spirit of enter prise among the most active and cap able of our people, will be felt not merely in this generation, but in all time to come. Sets Forth Chief Evil* "The chief evils of Government own ership are two: Its effect upon the in dividual, and Its effect upon the Gov ernment. When the present relatively small number of Government employes has been increased to more than 3,000,- 000—more than the plurality by which our Presidential elections have been decided in the last half century—there will be at the command of the adminis tration a political machine sufficient to establish a bureaucracy not far remov ed from autocracy. The manner in which the present administration has set aside the civil service regulations leaves little room for argument that misuse of Government patronage can be prevented. "The higher salaries paid for public work and the shorter hours of labor would create an insistent demand for employment in the Government service, resulting In a political subserviency on the part of the employe which would deprive this Government of its present character as a real republic. The indi vidual citizen would be encouraged to look upon the Government, not as an institution which he would support, but an instiutton which should support him —an Institution to which he should look for every service he may need. "Thus would be destroyed that spirit of patriotism entertained by the citi zen who regards himself as a supporter of the Government rather than Its de pendent. Men engaged in creative en terprise would necesasrily look upon the Government not as an aid, but as a rival, since the Government would b» competing against them as an em ployer and a producer. • Plnualblc Pretexts In Use "Plausible pretexts may be advanced in defense of Government purchase of ships, the construction of nitrate plants, and the operation of armor plate factories. We can easily go a step farther and attempt to Justify Government ownership of the telegraph and telephone. The logical step beyond that is Government ownership and op eration of the railroads, after which we can justify Government ownership of car-building plants, locomotive works, steel works, Iron mines, saw mills and all other enterprises largely connected with railroad maintenance and opera tion. "Although advocates of new Govern ment projects now being undertaken deny Intention to extend that policy as thus Indicated, the natural and In evitable consequence is the substitution of paternalism for individual Initiative —the deterioration of the individual, and the consequent decline of the na tion. "Among other questions the American voter must decide In the comlnt? elec tions.is whether he will register ap proval or disapproval of the paternalis tic tendency.the present administration has manifested."

Deaths from the heat In Milwaukee yesterday numbered 31. gested that a free-trade college pro lessor In a certain northern college will be appointed to head this commis sion. Bill Prepared Without System "In the same way a so-called anti dumping clause is so ineffective In Its wording that It hurdly matters whether it is enacted into law and without any examination is a ridiculous piece of legislation. "On the whole, the bill Is ill advised and prepared without any skill, care or logical system; the necessity for it is on account of extravagance and the failure of existing laws. This bill will not produce, after all, sufficient reve nue by many million dollars to meet the expenditures made and authorized. It will add to the oppression of the people, and It is a long step In the direction of the Democratic Ideal to run the government by direct taxes without any resource to duties and imports collected at the customs house which would furnish a rich source of revenue and at the same time afford protection and help industrial pre paredness, which will be so necessary in a short time, with the closing of the war In Europe. "It. is even proposed to place bur dens on such things close to the mass of the people as the theater, the mu seum and the concert hall. It is pro posed to put a tax on the gross re ceipts of these amusement places, thus imposing indirectly a burden upon the people in their recreation and a*nuse ment, and at tho same time Imposing it in a most obnoxious way, because gross receipts are no indication of prollts, as a theater may be losing money and yet have large gross re ceipts. "And on top of all this failure, ex travagance and ill-advised effort to raise additional revenue from any kind of a place comes the proposition to issue $125,000,000 of bonds to defray the expenses of the vaudeville per formance going on upon the Mexican border, where the National Guard has been called apparently without any reason, and from no necessity exposing the men to unnecessary hardship and loss, with distress to their families at home, nominally patrolling a border which is not assailed except by an oc casional bandit wandering about like a coyote on the plains, a border which has been well policed by the regular forces in Texas." HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH RAILROAD RUMBLES PAY FAMILIES OF P. R.R. SOLDIERS Checks Go Out Today, and It Is Said Include Thirty Harrisburgers The fajcnilies and dependents of Pennsylvania Railroad employes now on duty with the National Guard on the Mexican border will receive, to day, the July instalment of the SIOO,- 000 relief fund set aside by the com pany s directors. This announcement was made yesterday by officials of the company, who stated that vouchers covering the payments were issued last week from the office of the treasurer, and are now in the hands of the var ious general superintendents. In every Instance the money will go directly into the hands of the wife, mother or other beneficiary designated by the Guardsman. The actual distribution of the payments will be made by em ployes selected by the superintendents. Hereafter, the payments will be made semimonthly, as in the case of wages. More than 800 Pennsylvania railroad men are now at El Paso. Many Families on List About 300 families will receive relief from the company. In addition, the dues of every absent soldier-employe are being paid to protect his member ship in the Voluntary Relief Fund of the railroad, and preserve his eligibil ity to disablement and death benefits In his absence. Several of tha men whose families wil receive relief had been on the company's payroll less than a week when their regiments were sent to Mt. Gretna. One man had worked only three days for the railroad. In a number f other cases the length of service was less than a month. In many instances the men were not members of the National Guard, but volunteered in response to President Wilson's call. The company is making no distinc tion in such cases, but is giving relief wherever needed, no matter how short the period of employment had been or what the circumstances were in con nection with the enlistment. The list of Pennsylvania ailroad men at the front, it is said, includes between 100 and 150 on the Philadel phia division, and about 30 Harris burg srs. Until the official list is re ceived from the office of the general superintendent, the names will not be known.

MANY DEMANDS BY FARMERS LISTED Over 7,000 Sheep Are Wanted by People on the Profit- Sharing Plan Application for 7,000 sheep to be placed on farms in Pennsylvania on the profit-sharing plan suggested by the textile manufacturers of the State, bankers and others interested in grow ing of sheep In conjunction with the State Department of Agriculture, has been made to Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton. These applications come from fifty counties and are more than expected. It was flgurad out thai. 5,000 sheep could be placed, but tne farmers have taken hold of the preposition wtih con siderable vigor and the State officials are somewhat embarrassed, as the Department of Agriculture has no fund? with which to buy sheep and has called upon the man who made the suggestion to assist. Boards of Trade, farmers' organizations and other associations have become In terested and some plans are being made to buy carload lots of sheep and have State veterinarians inspect them. The inspections will be made without cost. TWO FACE CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER [Continued From First Page] million dollars, very ltkely much more." The damaged goods included 30,000 tons of raw sugar valued at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 and 24,000 bales of tobacco. On consignments of munitions and other supplies going to France, loss will fall on insurance companies, ow ing to the fact that policies issued to the French government cover ship ments from the beginning of the trip until delivered. English shipments are insured only "in waterside" in New York, while in the case of shipments to Russia, policies are written both ways. Several investigations were com menced to-day to discover the origin of the fire which caused the awful ex plosion that destroyed $5,000,000 worth of ammunition, 85 freight cars, set blazing ammunition barges adrift to bombard the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island immigration station with shellr and shrapnel and shatter ed SIOO,OOO worth of windows in this city. One of the Investigations is con ducted by Col. Beverly W. Dunn, chief Inspector of the Bureau of Explosives of the American Railway Association and the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. He is aided by thirty inspectors. The county prosecutor and city au thorities in Jersey City are making In vestigations also. It is understood that agents of the Department of Jus tice are making inquiries to learn whether the explosion was the work of an incendiary. Cause of Fire Unknown Conflicting reports as to the cause of the fire are stilt circulated. Lehigh Valley officials assert that an interlop ing barge loaded with ammunition was moored at their pier in defiance of their orders and that the first explo sion took place on board that vessel. The commissioner of public safety said four ammunition barges were at or near the piers and that all of them were destroyed. It is feared their crews perished. The big pier just west of the Statue of Liberty is to-day a mass Qf smoking ruins with the debris piled hundreds of feet high in places, and with the fire still burning. Bombarded Eight Hours The work of repairing the damage to the buildings of Bedloe's and Ellis Islands and in New York and Jersey City began to-day. The immigration station at Ellis Island had the appear ance of a war-swept village with every window shattered, the roof of the hospital caved in, the main door blown away and the dining and execu tive rooms wrecked, while the island was strewn with bits of shrapnel, broken glass and three-inch shells thrown ashore from drifting barges which had bombarded the island as they burned. The'damage was esti mated at $75,000. The buildings on Bedloe's Island, with doors blown in and windows shattered, showed the marks of an eight-hour bombardment of shrapnel, iron bolts and spikes, pieces of steel and chain. The roof of an iron ware house was ripped off and the walls are full of holes, while the homes of the army officers are stripped of their chimneys and walls and plaster are shattered. The loss there is estimated at SIOO,OOO. The Statue of Liberty vir tually is undamaged, but the doors to the pedestal were blown in. Thought End of World Stories told by those who narrowly escaped death verge on the miracu lous. One man says he was blown into the bay and swam to Bedloe's Island, but had to swim back again to the Jersey Shore when the flaming barges bombarded the island. "The air seem ed to be full of flame and I thought the end of the world had come," said another survivor. A third was blown fifty feet from the top of a freight car and landed near a building which fell upon him. ■MUG'S» OFFICE TRAINING SCHOOL GOOSES SUCCESSFUL SEOSOH Many Students Secure Pleasa nt and Profitable Employment The Basic Idea Underlying the School's Training The new Office Training School, located in the Kaufman Building. 4 Soutn Market Square, has Just closed a year of successful work. This school, con ducted by M. E. Keller, principal, and W. H. Keller as business manager, has enrolled a large number of pupils during the past year, and assisted many in procuring agreeable office employment. Already many new enrollments have been received for the coming term. The month of August will be vacation time at the school, and when the Fall term Is opened a limited number of new pupils can enroll for certain periods. Only a few new pupils can be accommodated. Because of the interest shown In the work of the school both day and night courses are conducted. .The Office Training School holds that every successful business career la built on a proper business training, and that no man or woman achieves suc cess in business until that training has been grasped in full. The chief fault Inherent in business students to-day Is a lack of thorough ness. They know a little of everything, but not much of one thing. A hundred girls can take a page of shorthand, but a very small proportion of that hundred can transcribe that page on the machine quickly and accurately. The small proportion who can do this, and who continue to do It, and con stantly strive to Improve on what others Consider "good enough" are the pro portion who succeed, and they draw the larger salaries and advance to positions of trust. A former pupil In a very gratifying letter states: "Since graduating I have been rising step by step until at present I hold a position with which I am well pleased. The thoroughness of your course has prepared me to grasp other opportunities as they * present themselves." , : '-« The fact that this system of business education Is so widely different to that usually taugh, in that a mastery of principles Is put before a mastery of methods, makes It possible for the school to place all its graduates in desirable positions. Hundreds of ambitious young men and women have profited by reading that new booklet, "The Art of Getting Along In the World." It showed them the way to more comfortable and satisfactory positions. A post card or Dhone call ■will bring you a free copy,—Adv, WOULD RT7UE WORLD The Hague, Netherlands—Notwttlw standing that she was already largely monopolizing the export of Holland's surplus agricultural and other food products, Germany has Just taken measures with a view to removing Belgian buying competition from the Dutch market. A decree has been is sued in Belgium prohibiting communes and dealers from importing goods from Holland. Applications to make such purchases must be submitted to Berlin. The result is that Belgium, where distress was already geute, is deprived of an indispensable supply of goods, and the great difficulties which the American Relief Commis sion is experiencing with cargo space does not allow of the adequate and speedy replacement from that quarter. - ( Legal Notices TO JOHN KEAN AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: Take notice that the petition of Fred, erick B.
