RECREATIONAL BLESSINGS GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH HAS written a strong statement In support of the ' International Recreation Congross, which is being held In Grand Rapids this week. He believes that Pennsylvania as well as every other State needs a great recrea tional revival In order that the leisure time erf her men and her women, her girls and boys, may be made a con structive force for strength, loyalty, team play and good citizenship. As has been stated In many of the B *' public addresses of the Governor, he ■ believes that the wrongs against so ciety arc committed by the people not In their hours of work, but in the hours of leisure, and Insists that the responsibility lies "not wholly with the reoplfc who commit these acts, but with those who have not been wise enough to see to it that it become W Increasingly easy for the people to do ' right and increasingly hard for them to do wrong." Pennsylvania is represented at the congress at Grand Rapids and many questions will be discussed during the week. Many cities like Harrlsburg have already employed play leaders and in addition to the work of the city efforts are now being put forth to keep young people in the country and make country life worth living through proper recreation. No citizen of Harrlsburg will con tend for a second that the public parks and playgrounds of this city have been otherwise than tremendously helpful in making a contented and happy people. But the work is not yet done and unless reactionary influences which are constantly at work are checked the unselfish movement for the benefit of all will be lost and the community suffer. "Sees end of strike troubles." —News- paper headline. Which end? When a man plays golf the recording angel finds more material than the mere scores. WILSONIAN TW ADDLE NEWSPAPER reports of President Wilson's campaign address on Saturday read like the bally hoMng of an irresponsible stump speaker of the "hoop pole" district. He started out by declaring the "cer tain prospect of the success of the Republican party" at the next election is that tho United States will enter the European war and will go to war with Mexico. Officials of foreign Governments will watch the coming election carefully, the President said, to know how they can treat the United States in the fu ture. He said special interests with stakes in Mexico are working for the success of the Republicans. The President said he had hoped for a campaign based on real issues, but that he had been disappointed. The Democratic party, he declared, is the only party In the nation based on the rule of the people. "The Republican party as at present constituted and led," he said, "believes i.i government by attorneys and spe cial interests. That party's last tariff was framed by attorneys for the spe cial interests." The President praised the Progres sive party, saying It had real red blood in its veins. The Republican party, he declared, has outlived Its useful ness. "I think the Democratic party will witness the death of another party," he added. "It has already 6een two great parties come and go." "Democrats always face the right," said the President. Did ever a President of these United States deliver himself of more pure tommyrot in a given spaco? What Is any sane. Intelligent man with duo re spect for the office of President to think? It Is not a pleasant conclu sion, but either President Wilson Is deliberately planning a campaign of fraud and misrepresentation, based on a false conception of the gullibility of the American voter, or he proves himself at once unfit for office by en tertaining opinions so foreign to the facts that nobody familiar with ei ents can take them seriously. The President should know full well —and Jt is difficult to believe he does not—that Republicans are as much oposed to war as he is. Indeed, the only approach we have had to war fare since McKlnley's day has been tn President Wilson's term. Twice "has Wilson sent armed forces into Mexico V a ait" MONDAY EVENING, HARRTSBUKG W& TELEGRAPH OCTOBER > and even now pr&ctlcaJHy our whole armed force ts being held by his com mand at the border. For what? Peace? Hardly! And unquestionably the United States would be at war with Germany at this moment had not the Kaiser had both hands full when the President slapped him in the face. "He kept us out of war," forsooth! He did nothing of tho sort. Kind Providence and our splendid isolation and our resources are responsible. In his heart the President must realize this, and he knows, too, that the Re publican party is opposed to war and strongly committed to honorable peace. One might think, to hear the President talk, that every Republican slept with a rifle beside him and spent his evenings at pistol practice. The remainder of the speech of Saturday Is quite on a par with the opening paragraph, a combination of twaddle and clap-trap, as silly as It Is false. Democrats always right, Republi cans always wrong! Special Interests In tho saddle! A tariff for the trusts! Wall street In control of the treasury! One might suspect the President of having been revamping some of the oratory that helped to defeat Bryan when he ran for President on certain memorable occasions. Mr. Wilson might have added—but, of course, did not—that the awful Re publican tariff, which he looks upon with horror, brought prosperity to rich and poor alike and provided money so plentifully that from our current revenues we were able to build the Panama canal, and he might further have set forth that when the Republicans controlled the Treasury they did not need to place special stamp taxes on the working people, as President Wilson has found it neces sary to do. Incidentally, It may be re marked in passing, the President shows distinct indications of himself becoming quite a protectionist. Wouldn't it be the proper thing to plan a little celebration for the time when "Johnny comes marching homo again?" We have a perfectly good lawn mower we would like to trade for a I Tuxedo coat or a half-ton of coal. j GREETING, MR. SCHWAB! TRUE to form and In the fulfill ment of its obligations as the leader of the commercial, Indus trial and civic activities of the city, the Chamber of Commerce will to night honor Charles M. Schwab and I his associates, Mr. Grace and Mr. Bent, j at the annual banquet of the organ ization. As an industrial giant of the United States and the world Mr. Schwab has recently become one of us in the sense that Steelton's industrial j activities are now under his direction and a part of his great industrial plan. This dinner will be In tho nature of a formal welcome to Mr. Schwab and his lieutenants to the social and business life of this community. Our people want him to know how much they appreciate what he has already done In the development of the Steel ton plant during the comparatively brief period of his control. They also want him to feel that they are In- j forested in helping him and all asso- | elated with him in achieving for this ' plant, which is for all practical pur poses part of Harrlsburg, the most! satisfactory progress. As one who has come up from the | ranks through the hard school ofj experience, Mr. Schwab stands at the j very forefront of the steel industry, j He knows it from alpha to omega. But It Is not only as an Industrial force and factor In the development of the pros perity of the United States that Mr. | Schwab stands forth as a leader of! men. His vision comprehends the J philanthropies of mankind and his j life work has embraced much of j humanitarian activity. He stands well j with those who labor with their hands j as well as those who work with their brains. It is, therefore, a pleasure for the people of Harrlsburß, through their representative business organization, to welcome Mr. Schwab and his group of younger Industrial leaders to the best we have and to extend to him the felicitations and good wishes of the entire community. We shall hope that the little visit of to-day may be the forerunnfer of many more, to the end that he may become thoroughly ac quainted with the spirit and purpose of tho new Harrlsburg—the city that ! is doing things. The Philadelphia Telegraph has an Item about thieves carrying off SIOO worth of chickens. Farm or restaurant prices? Mr. Schwab la a steel king, all right, but also he Is a prince of good fellows! ROOSEVELT'S ARRAIGNMENT FOR anyonewho may be In doubt as to how to vote on the presidency or curious to know why Theodore Roosevelt Is so thoroughly opposed to the re-election of Woodrow Wilson, a perusal of Colonel Roosevelt's speech of Saturday at Battle Creek will be distinctly helpful. Never in the history of American politics- has there ap —rd in a presidential campaign so The Days of Real Sport By BRIGGS jg lOH SKIN- MAY! . ev/gß"ymj>J6 I | terrible an arraignment of a candidate for re-election. Colonel Roosevelt does not foiteet the dlgn'.ty of the office at stake and he justifies the lengths to which he goes in criticism of the present Incum bent and his associates by the fact that he himself was ready at all times as President to accept just criticism and because the welfare of the nation de mands that the truth in this crisis be placed before the voters in vigorous terms. Tlie Colonel's speech is even more cutting and fiery than that which he delivered in Maine previous to the repudiation of the Democratic party In that State a few weeks ago. How closely he has followed every move of President Wilson since he was in augurated, how keenly he has analyzed his every utterance and act, and how Incensed and disgusted he has been with a President who has never made his words fit his acts, who has been swayed this way and that by the changeful winds of political expedl eijcy. diplomatic Intervention and fear of consequences, Is displayed in every line. President Wilson "took forty-one dif ferent positions about preparedness and the measures necessary to secure it and each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to six of the others," say 3 the Colonel, and then goes on to give the proof. The former President Is bitter, but he is logical, also. Not once does he stray from the path of conclusions built upon presidential sins of omission and com mission familiar to every voter. He Is fiery, but he is earnest and intense. In no previous utterance has Colonel Roosevelt shown himself more zealous for the welfare of the nation nor more jealous of Its honor and good name than in this tremendous arraignment of those "false servants of the people who have betrayed the soul of the people" and through and by whom "the conscience of the pcoplo has been scared and its moral sense dulled— during the past three years." Henry C. Orth, who died on Saturday, will be remembered as the man who first advocated the study of Spanish in the public schools of Harrisburg. He foresaw as nobody at the time did the growing commerce between the United States and the republics to the South, and understood the great advantage a knowledge of Spanish would be iu graduates entering business life. Mt. Orth's activities in behalf of the school district were second only to his Inter est in Masonic affairs and his place In the life of that fraternity in Harris burg will be hard to fill.

Paper Money in Germany Paper money circulating In Germany In July was officially stated as $2,- 108,000,000, of which $1,710,000,000 was bank notes, $80,000,000 treasury notes and $318,000,000 loan bureau notes. In July, 1914, the Inst named form of currency was non-existent and the bank note circulation was only $472,500,000—New York Post. i— I>oea£c Ck 1 By the Ex-Committeeman Brisk filing of nomination papers for candidates for congressional and legislative offices is expected to occur at the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth to-day and to-mor row. The time for filing nomination papers by independent bodies of citi zens will expire nt 5 o'clock to-rnorrow and Inquiries made Indicate that there are many to come. The Local Option party, which pre empted the name for almost the whole State several months ago, has filed papers for a score or so of candidates for the Legislature and there have also been some papers filed by other organizations and committees. The Single Tax people have gotten a whole set of blanks. As soon as the time expires the State authorities will compile a new list of candidates for Congress and the legislature which will contain all of the numerous changes to date and which will be used for the informa tion of the soldiers on the border in their voting. Judging from reports coming here there will be strenuous work done by political committees In every part of the State to boost registration on Saturday which is the last day for going on the books. In Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other larger cities the committees are going after every voter. The registration in some of the smaller cities has shown up better in proportion than In the big ones. Suggestions for planks for the Re publican platform are crowding tn on the committee. The interest shown in what the Republicans will do is in marked contrast to the lack of inter est in the Democratic State committee meeting. The Democrats in their plat form of May made the issues strictly national and the Republicans will probably do the same when the com mittee meets at Philadelphia on Mon day. —Replacement of Dr. James M. Esler, of Tarentum, as chief of the division of distribution of public docu ments, Is taken to be the start of some pretty lively changing around at the Capitol. For some time there have been reports that the Governor was getting ready for the "Fall house cleaning," but the general impression was that he had decided to wait until after the election so as not to compli cate matters in the selection of legisla tors. This Is said to be the reason why he has held off so long on the filling of important places and also why so many justice of the peace vacancies remain unfilled. The Gov ernor has had before him on every visit here the "beheading list" which was compiled by his personal friends right after the prlmnry election. If it had not been for the Governor's reluctance to "fire" people there would have been many vacancies on Capitol Hill long ago. —While Presidential Candidate Charles Evans Hughes will visit Phila delphia next Monday as a guest of the Union League, and a meeting which he will address that evening will be held under the auspices of that organiza tion,' Republicans generally will be in vited to help make the demonstration in honor of former Governor Hughes a pronounced success." President John Gribbel and the committee of the Union League which is planning for the meeting and of which former Am bassador to Berlin, Charlemagne Tower, is chairman, will be busy all week upon the details of the arrange ments for the visit of the Republican standard bearer. It was announced yesterday from the headquarters of the Hughes Alliance in thr> State of Pennsylvania that the officers of the Alliance, Including State Chairman, Powell Evans; Secretary, George D. Porter; Treasurer, Edward B. Smith, and vice-chairman, J. Benjamin Dlm mlck. of Scranton: H. D. W. English, of Pittsburgh; William ilraper Lewis, Alba B. Johnson and Bayard Henry, Philadelphia, have been invited to meet Governor Hughes at a dinner to be tendered him at the Union League at six o'clock next Monday evenhig nrecedlng the Metropolitan Opera House meeting. Through the courtesy of the TTnlon League, ir was stated, the Hughes Alliance will name a re ception committee, the members to confer with the Union League's Re ception Committee In the welcome to be extended Governor Hughes upon his arrival at. Broad Street Station, and to escort him later to the Metro politan Opera House. —H. J. Catteral, of Berwick, ha* COLONEL HARVEY'S THREE COUNTS ARE IN an article in the current number of the North American Review, the salient portions of which are printed in another column, Colonel George Harvey discusses "the living issues" of the campaign. These are military and industrial preparedness, government by and for the people, and national honor and prosperity. Which party and which leader, lie asks, are best equipped to deal with all three, and to "preserve, protect and de fend the Constitution? In the matter of preparedness, he suspects both the zeal and the capacity of the Administration. "Could Josephus Daniels, he asks, "build a great navy in the shortest possible time if he would?" Nothing in his record justifies that assumption. He has been an obstructionist from the start. Whatever energy he has shown Is due to pressure from without. Colonel Harvey's review of his career as Secretary is scathing. Yet Mr. Daniels has had, and presumably still has, the confidence and support of the President. There is every reason to assume that if Mr. Wilson Is re-elected he will hold his present position four years longer. "A vote for Wilson is a vote for Daniels." Can any sincere advocate of preparedness cast such a vote? Mr. Baker is a man Of a very different type, hut his pacifist views hiake him anything but an ideal Sec retary of War. And who can have much confidence in the President's be lated conversion to a program of na tional defense? Nor are his tariff views such as advocates of industrial preparedness can sanction.

It's a rather rare thing to find economy among Democrats. —The Socialists will have meet ings all over the county and In the adjoining districts. Plans will be made by committees next Sunday. —Philander C. Knox appears to be going along in the even tenor of his way and Is busy keeping appoint ments to make speeches. The Philadelphia Press in Its politi cal gossip column yesterday had this to say about the gubernatorial nomi nation: "In the State the feeling ex ists that since Philadelphia has the senior Senators, the Governor and a Congressman-at-large and after No vember will have two Congressmen-at large, it is the country's turn to have the next Governor. I have no douht that there are a multitude of Philadel phia Republicans who would be quite willing to give the State the honor of naming a successor to our senior Sen ator if the city were given the oppor tunity of naming the next Governor. And then, too, Brumbaugh, the boy from Huntingdon, although a Phila- is looked upon equally as the Huntingdon county boy, and therefore as a representative of the State. Be that as It may, however, if Philadel phia has the opportunity It Is now Im probable that the friends of Mayor Smith, of Congressman Scott, and of Harry A. Mackey, will sound their booms. If the next Chief Executive Is to be chosen from the State, I am of the opinion that the Penroseltes will be quite vigorous In boosting Senator Sproul, of Delaware, or Mr. Babcock, of Pittsburgh, who was unsuccessful In the race for the Senatorial nomin ation. ' On the other side, or In the middle of the road, there will loom up Public Service Commissioner Alney who has had deep aspiration for years to occupy the chair of the Chief Exec utive at Harrisburg; Senator Fisher, of Indiana; Public Service Commis sioner Magee, of Pittsburgh: Senator Crow, of Fayette, and Congressman Kiess. of Lycoming. The Guberna torial nomination Is still two years off —ln the Interim, however, the comings and goings of all these gentlemen will be watched as they move across the political background of Harrisburg." The Lord Repenteth And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth:.both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for It repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grac In the eyes of the Lord.—Gene sis. vL 7-8. mailing of the nation" by the railway brotherhoods to which the President was the first to submit, the most dan gerous attack upon the right of the American people to rule themselves sinco Sumter was tired upon. This is perhaps an exaggeration of the pos sible effects of the humiliating sur render by Executive and Legislature alike. But there is no doubt as to the danger of the precedent thus set. It is not necessary to believe that there was a deliberate political plot behind the action of Mr. Wilson. The argument against him is strong enough without that. The fact re mains that he threw over a principle he had previously accepted at the bid ding of a labor organization that he endeavored to raise a false issue, that he revealed a fatal lack of judgment and determination. Colonel Harvey cites previous utterances of Mr. Hughes in answer to the question, "What would he have done?" The Republican candidate stands for the rights of labor, but he repudiates the doctrine of a privileged class. The third count in the indictment of the President is his failure to uphold the national honor abroad. Many episodes of the past three years "have flushed the cheeks of our countrymen with shame and humiliation." The flag has been no protection to them. Other nations, whatever they may think of the United States, mistrust and condemn him. They will turn to us for friendship or counsel while he is President. Is the accusation too severe? Those who know how Europe feels at the present moment will not think so.

Didn't Imbibe Wine When Police Captain Patrick Cos tello met a man on the main street of Dobbs Ferry loudly and joyfully dis turbing the peace of the historic ham let, he said, "My friend, you're drunk, and I'll have to run you in." The stranger drew a tattered Bible from his pocket, and, leading the cap tain to the nearest street lamp, read, with fervor: 'First timothy, five, twenty-three: "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often Infirmities.' " The captain scratched his head and thought. Finally he said: "What were you drinkin'?" "Well," replied the stranger, "the last one was beer." "Then," said the captain, "you lose on a technicality, and it's come with me."

A Kind Word For Woodrow It gives me pleasure to find occasion to commend the Democrats. Near (lie beginning of the Wilson administration they created a position for a follower who had been active, and who promised to be a valuable worker. The man turned out to be a mutt, and his position was abolished. It paid $15,000 a year. So the Democrats, who originally intended to give this man $60,000 as his share of the spoils, have reduced the amount to $45,000. This mod eration should be remembered at the polls.—E. W.
