DIR. BRUMBAUGH NOT THE TOOL
OF LIQUOR INTERESTS
(Philadelphia Ledger)

Whoever doubts Doctor Brum-
baugh's position on the temperance
question discredits his own intelli-
gence. Doctor Brumbaugh has made
his views so plain that a child can
understand them. A few weeks ago
he explicitly stated that he favored
local option, that he would urge the
Legislature to pass local option bill,
that if it were passed he would sign it,
There was no quibble, no equivoca-
ton, no conditions whatsoever. He
did not say that it must be this kind
of local option or that kind, or that it
must make the county or the town
ship or the congressional district the
unit. He let it be known that he be-
lieves in local option and that his rec
ord as a friend of temperance is as
long as his life. His whole life has

T@HOSE Southern Democrats who
'were so eager to strike down
4 the protective tariff are now
crying for help from every other
section of the country because their
cotton crop finds no purchasers. Rep
resentative Henry, of Texas, recently
wrote to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, declaring that the custodian of
the government funds had the lin
disputable" right to deposit several
hundred million dollars IN Southern
banks to be loaned directly to the cot
ton producers" He followed this with
another letter to Secretary AIcAdoo,
who has also developed some peculiar
financial ideas, in which he declared
that you must issue Treasury notes
or sell Panama Canal bonds, or other
bonds, in order to get this money into
the hands of the producers"
OF course, the Secretary Of the
Treasury had to break the news to
Mr.. Henry that such action on his part
would mean disaster in the end, but
the Texas statesman is still not salts
fed and insists that the public moneys.
to the extent of any number of mil
lions of dollars, should be handled in
such way as to save the cotton crop
from sacrifice and avert the calamity
now overhanging the South from the
paralyzed market"
Mr.. Henry is one of those states
men who believe that his own par
ticular section is the only part of
the country deserving consideration.
Other Southern gentlemen in Congress
are insisting that individuals in the
North should buy a bale or more of
cotton to save the cotton producers in

There may come at least one good
thing out of the European condict-a
restoration of the American protective
tariff Already the fallacy of the
Democratic theory of free trade has
been demons trated at the cost of all
the people. There seems to be no doubt
had the protective tariff been in force
at the time Of the outbreak in Europe
we should not now be experiencing the
dire results Of Democratic experiment.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR

~ r. MARTIN C. BRUMBAUGH
entered Bedford this week
- somewhat like a conquering
hero, He was on familiar soil.
On his way to the county seat he
passed through Marklesburg and saw
the old home where his father and
mother lived, and all along the way
hundreds of men boarded the train
and accompanied him to Bedford, his
personal escort reaching over 500.
Many of the men who boarded the
train were compelled to stand in the
aisles for more than an hour. 1t was
a great tribute to a popular Pennsyl-
vanian-our next Governor.

Those hand-picked candidates of the
White House who have attempted to
drag the religious and temperance or
ganizations of Pennsylvania into a
partisan campaign are already realiz-
ing their colossal blunder. Instead of
responding to their suggestions and
preaching sermons for their benefit the
preachers and spiritual leaders of the
state should unite in an overwhelming
protest against this sort Of campaign.

been devoted to the training of chill
dren and to the production of good
and worthy citizens through the pub
lie school system.
The suggestion that he is the tool
of the liquor interests is preposterous,
an insult to him and his supporters.
His record is as clean as McCormick's
his will is as strong, and his lifelong
affiliations have been such as to make
him more hostile to the saloon than
any other man running for office in
the State.

TORONTO VISITORS

A NONG the strangers within our
N gates to-day is a representative
1 \ delegation of Toronto munich
pal officials. They have come
to Harrisburg, as to other cities, to
learn something of municipal man
agement and our way of doing things
Toronto is about to establish the
commission form of government. 1t is
natural that these officials should want
to learn everything possible concern
ing the operation of the new system.
We of Harrisburg have not proceeded
far enough along the way to have
demonstrated the value Of the new
system of municipal government, but
it is only fair to say that this city
developed so well under the former
system that the people of Harrisburg
accepted the commission plan as pa
tient who has medicine forced down
his throat. 1t is a little too early to
determine whether it is a success or
failure. 1t is a grave question, how
ever whether the old system was not
superior in many ways.
In the last analysis, municipal
State and national government de-
upon the personnel of those chosen to
administer the government. Harris
burg was peculiarly fortunate in the
Interpretation of the laws under which
the old system was administered, in
that our local officials took advantage
of their powers and functions in a
way that those of few other cities did.
We advanced through the successful
administration of our several depart
ments because of the public spirit of
our people and the cooperation of all
classes.
We trust that our distinguished
visitors may have a delightful So
journ here and that they will take
away with them a fine impression Of
one of the most progressive and sub
stantial cities on the Eastern sea-
board Toronto is no mean city and
it is an honor to have the represen-
tatives of that splendid municipality
across the Northern border with us
even for a few hours.
The Wilson administration is nothing
If not inconsistent. The printing
presses at Washington that are now
busy printing peace postage stamps"
are being run overtime in order that
they may be ready TO run off in the
next few weeks a large quantity of
Democratic war tax stamps. The idea
of following an issue of peace"
stamps with an edition Of war tax"
stamps is original with the Democrats.
We confess that the notion never en-
tered the heads of the Republicans
when they were in power.

.BACkST0P OF REDS
SETS LEAGUE PACE
eY c.H. zuBER.


CINCINNATI. July 8-Manager Her.
zog. of the Reds, has decided on a new
policy for building up his team. His
three months OF experience as mana
ger of the Reds has shown him that
nothing is to be gained by holding on
to players who have passed the zenith
of their usefulness and are approach
ing the has-been horizon. So he has
adopted the plan of developing young
sters for the team-yOungsters who
will improve right along, instead of
carrying bunch of old-timers who are
going back In every game they play.
With this idea in mind Herzog is
playing LOhr. Philadelphia semi-pro,
and LaRoss, a recruit from Michigan,
in his outfield in the places OF the
veterans, Bates and Miller. He also
has added a third young outfielder to
his lineup in the person of McLaugh-
lin, college youth from Geneva, N.
Y, who is said to be the speediest man
in baseball today. Herzog also has
added a new first baseman from the
Virginia league to his prospects, and
has lines out for several additional
stars from the minors, all Of whom will
receive more consideration from
Buck" than is usually accorded re-
cruits for the reason Herzog is fully
determined to get together a bunch Of
hustling beginners instead of carrying
around a string of old boys whose am
bition is on the wane.
The second series of the eastern
teams in the, west now is on, and
there will be much dope created as to
the final wind-up of the season through
this bunch of games. 1t looks now as
q <ho orb "a
! between the New Yorks and the Chi
Cages, the Cubs showing more speed
at present than any team on the cir
cult Manager McGraw, of the New
| Yorks, confesses that he fears the
Cubs, especially as Mathewson is the
| only one of his pitchers who is work
ing up to form. The Cubs expect to
get pretty close to the Giants during
/ the coming series, and hope to have
the aid of the Reds, the Cardinals and
! the Pirates in accomplishing this.
The Reds also expect to regain much
of their lost ground during the series
the improvement in the work of the
pitchers and the gradual return of the
batting strength making this result
possible. Eastern teams will be seen
here on two Sundays during the pres
| ent series, the Phillies on July II, and
the Bostons on July 10.
Tom Clarke, the Reds clever back
stop, continues to set the pace in the
| National league catching section. Not
only is the Corona boy supporting his
! pitchers in great shape and picking
the opposing runners off the sacks
but he also is swatting the ball sc
hard that Manager Herzog has moved
him to the cleanup" position in the
batting order-fourth place-where his
heavy hitting is doing lot of good
Clarke was one of the Reds severa
stars who was offered all sorts of in
ducements to jump to the Fedora
league, but he declined to be influ
enced by the tempters. There are
hundreds of Clarkes in baseball so fal
as honesty is concerned, and only /:
few Marsans-and the latter class arr
getting theirs.

100 BOYS SIGN UP
FOR S. s. LEAGUE

The Sunday School baseball league
will be started next week.
Physical Director Nohr, who has
charge of the public Fairgrounds, an
nounced this morning that almost 100
boys under sixteen years of age have
signed the summer privilege cards at
the Fairgrounds and the interest is
growing among the boys for the for
nation of league this summer. Def
mite plans will be made this week by
those connected with the Fairgrounds
and it is probable that the league will
be started the first of next week.
Interest in the inauguration of a
tennis tournament at the play grounds
is also increasing, according to Direc-
tor Nohr, and it is probable that this
will be done in a short time
The courts at the Fairgrounds are
in excellent condition and a large
number of people, are taking advan-
tage of the opportunity to play. Early
every morning, the courts are being
used. Director Nohr has made ar
rangements to keep the nets up most
OF the time so that they can be used
from sun rise to sun seGii
Last year, there We're. six baseball
teams organized which constituted the
Sunday school league and it is the
hope of those connected with the re-
creation work have at least that
number of teams this year. Announce
ments relative to this will be made in
the Sunday schools next Sunday.

When Battling Barnes went in the
ring with Ray Jeffries at the Coliseum
Saturday night he had no intention of
staging bout. he merely wanted to
test Jeffries' strength to see how hard
the local. boy could deliver a punch
1t has been suggested the New Paris
boy tried the experiment for scientific
reasons, to compare Jeffries' punch to
a mules kick. At that all the Rich
mond pugilist could do was black
Barnes eye and make his nose bleed,
writes the defeated boxer.

WILLIE LOSES TITLE
As WORLD CHAMPION
Welshman Forces American
to Leave England's Shores
as Common Pugilist.

LONDON. July 8.--Willie Ritchie.
the American lightweight champion,
was outboxed last evening by Freddie
Welsh, the champion of England, and
as q consequence the latter has a clear
title to the lightweight championship
Of the world. The bout lasted twenty
rounds. 1t was witnessed by over eight
thousand fight fans.
The men were evenly matched, and
although the Englishman scored the
greatest number of blows, those OF the
American appeared to be the more tell
ing, so there was some dissatisfaction
with the referees decision on the part
of the American spectators. 1t was
an exhibition of boxing.
Neither man went to the floor, and
the last five rounds were of the fastest
order. Welsh was the quicker and
finally his repeated taps on the face
drew blood from RS opponent. Richie
tried repeatedly tie Knockout blow,
but Walsh managed to get inside or
under the s~jng each time.
Ritchie hybke into sobs when the
decision was made against him, and at
first refused to talk concerning the
fight He later said: Il do not in
tend to make a holler. but do think
that the worst / should have got was
a draw. Welsh was holding all the
time, and I was doing the fighting.
Therefore, do not think the decision
was fair to me-"
The Welshmans footwork and dodg-
Ing were much quicker than the Ameri-
cans, and he preferred to fight in close
quarters where Ritchie could not use
his powerful blows. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion of the spectators that
Ritchie would have come out victor in
finish fight. Ritchie worked contin-
ually for knockout, while Welsh
played to win the decision on points.
