100000 with the National Park Bank,
with the understanding that that in
stitution would take the full amount
of the Tennessee obligation at per
cent without commission at par for
one year Previous crop movement
deposits. the Secretary said, had been
made with this bank several weeks
before, but had no relation to the
! Tennessee loan. Mr.. McAdoo did not
ment funds on deposit with the Ma
tional Park Bank.
The Secretary's Acknowledgement
that he had used government funds
with the direct understanding that
the depository bank should loan them
to the State of Tennessee was made
in letter to Major E. B. Stahlman,
editor of the Nashville Banner. which
was given out at the Treasury De-
partment.
Mr.. McAdoo may be a financial
genius in disguise, but his more re-
cent performances do not indicate that
he has any kind of genius save that
for putting his foot in it,"
Congress is going to investigate the
whole transaction and Mr.. McAdoo
will be required to explain whether
the amount of interest the said Ma
tional Park Bank was to receive from
the State of Tennessee was by agree
ment with the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the facts in connection with
the big loan of S1.4O0,0O0 at 6 per
cent. to Tennessee with the backing of
the Secretary of the Treasury.

WHICH PARTY SHOULD RULE.

[From the Philadelphia Press.
The Democratic party is asking the
voters of the country to keep 1t in
power at Washington 1t is seeking
the endorsement of the nation upon its
acts since March of last year when it
came into complete control of the ma
chinery of the Government. 1t is ask
ing the people to forget the record
which it has made. That is the sum
and substance of the request, for to re-
member that record is certain repudia-
tion of the party and its acts.
Democracy came into power and
found excellent business conditions. a
general prosperity of the people and
full employment of labor. 1t substi-
tuted for those things business stagna-
ton, idle freight cars and more than
a million men out of employment 1t
found business confidence, and changed
IT into fear for the future. II found
stability. and transformed 1t into un-
rest.

THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER S
MCCORMICK AND THE FIREMEN

q" HOUSANDS of firemen from all
parts of Pennsylvania are in
Harrisburg to-day and they will
learn from the people of this
community what sort of man the
Democratic machine of this State has
nominated for the high Office of Gov
ernor. They should make an effort
to ascertain the truth so that they
may go home and tell their own
people how unfit is this pampered son
of fortune to discharge the responsible
duties of the high office which he is
striving in every way to reach. They
will learn for themselves, when they
get the truth, how little he has cared
for the man who labors with his
hands, how Indifferent to all save him.
self, how supremely selfish in his re-
lations with his fellow men, and how
arbitrary his whole course in dealing
with others.
Ordinarily the people of any COM
munity are disposed to support a son
of that community, but the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor has ut
terly failed to realize that one good
turn deserves another; that he cannot
expect the support of his townsfolk
when he himself has maintained an
attitude Of utter indifference to an
other distinguished son of Harrisburg
who is a nonpartisan candidate for
the Supreme Court. Perhaps nothing
in the Mccormick campaign has so
disgusted the citizens of this COM
munity as his effort to create interest
In his own candidacy-as a native of
the city, and, presumably, entitled to
its SUPPORTS his failure to saw one
word in his personally-conducted
newspaper, or upon the stump, in
favor of President Judge George Kun
kel, jurist of high repute and un-
blemished character, a nominee for
the court of last resort in Pennsyl-
vania.
Nor have the firemen themselves
forgotten the hostile attitude of this
same candidate toward the volunteer
fire fighters. who have a lively remem-
brance of his several vetoes of their
appropriations and his harshness in
dealing with them when he occupied
the position of Mayor a few years
ago.
One who has so little consideration
for his fellow men and who only calls
upon them when he needs their votes
can hardly expect much enthusiasm
over his appeal to civic pride on the
score Of his own righteousness and his
own vaunted virtues

WHEN THE BAND PLAYS
by Wing Dinger

don't care picayune
How you toiled to-day,
Maybe felt you couldn't spare
Time to go away
Just to get bite of lunch
But Til stake a treat
That you stopped each time the ban'
Came playing down the street
There is something magic like
Bout the big brass band,
AS II passes by the door
Playing music grand.
Business, blues, and all your cares
Vanish like a flash
When the band begins to play
And you make dash
For the window or the door
On your face a smile,
Feet with music keeping time
All the bloomin' while.
Maybe self-control you can
Usually command,
But you just forget all else
When you hear the band.

RELIEVING EUROPEAN DISTRESS


THANKS to the efforts of the Ger
man-American and Austrian
: American Relief Committees of
this city, Harrisburg will send
several thousand dollars to Europe for
the relief of the widowed women and
fatherless children of the warning ma
tions.
1t matters not what the sympathies
of the individual may be, all
will commend the work of the Harris
burg men and women who are striv-
ing to alleviate the suffering of the
innocent upon whom the heaviest bur-
dens of the conflict fall. Every Amer
ican should do what he can to aid in
the relief work abroad and the way
that the residents of this city are re-
spending shows that many Harris
burgers are doing nobly and will re-
spond generously whenever occasion
demands.

blocks. 8 feet by IL feet. provided with
suitable slots and motor supports. and
