SEE HARRISBURG FIRST

~ DING on a vacation this summer?
But of course you are! What,
~ you haven't the money! Well,
why not spend it at home and
"See Harrisburg?
In this bound world
there are lots of people who believe
that a man who spends one day of his
vacation in his home town is a poor
boob" without any sense. But is he?
Harrisburg has the woods, the
streams, the mountains right at it's
door. You want to fish? Oh. very
well. let's go for bass in the Sus-
quehanna or the Conodoguinet, or for
trout in one of the nearby mountain
streams. And If you think there isn't
as good angling hereabouts as any
place you want to find it's because you
aren't acquainted with the waters.
IF you yearn for a swim. why not
take a dip in the river long famous as
of two centuries ago? If you want to
lie on your back, pull your straw hat
cross your eyes and peek through at
the Clouds" the hills of Reservoir Park
are just about as fine place for the
stretching process as you can find this
side of the Azores, and most of us do
not go farther east than that for the
annual "lay-off"
And there's not a thing the matter
with the Reservoir tennis courts or
golf links if you are fond of these
sports, Or if you tire of doing the
strenuous yourself, there is the ball
game on the Island where you can
watch others do it several days each
week.
What is more. if you spend the
idling hours on your own back porch
instead of on that of some resort you
can wear that old flannel shirt that
always feels so good and tell the world
of fashion to go hang.
Furthermore, you will not need a
cane nor nearly as much of the long
green"

BOATING FACILITIES

N any consideration of the elimina-
ton of "Hardscrabble" from the
city map it is only fair and just
that the boating interests which
have been developed during long
period of years shall not be over
looked. 1t is out of the question to
deprive those who have been catering
to the large number of young and old
people in the way of boating facilities
of a proper concession for the future
conduct of their business.
We have discovered no disposition
on the part of city officials to do any
thing of the kind, but there has doubt
less been apprehension among the
persons most interested regarding the
probable outcome of their industry.
Inasmuch as the water frontage of
Harrisburg covers more than three
miles, it will be necessary to have not
one boathouse but several, in order
to accommodate those who make use
of the river. With the completion of
the dam and the River Front wall
there is certain to follow the forma-
tion of many boat clubs and river
craft organizations of all kinds, so
that 1t will be necessary to provide fa-
cillties for this sport.
In view of the fact that the Hard
scrabble" frontage will have a consid-
erable width from the western curb
line to the steps, it will be an easy
matter to provide for a boathouse or
two close to the slope. which will con-
ceal the buildings, and at the same
time furnish ample accommodations
for owners of boats or those who de-
sire to provide public facilities.
In short, fairplay must characterize
the whole transaction from beginning
to end, and we have discovered no
other tendency in the movement.

DOCTOR BRUMBAUGHs REsIG-
NATION
philadelphia Inquirerl

philadelphia Inquirerl
Doctor Brumbaogh's letter to the
Board of Education resigning his po-
sition as superintendent of schools,
to take effect September first, is just
what was expected by his friends and
admirers and will have the effect. of
Strengthening the goodwill in which
he is held by the people. He feels,
properly, although he does not say so
in as many words, that the schools
should be kept free from even the
suspicion of politics, and that having
been nominated for governor, 1t was
wise and prudent to sever his official
connection with the schools before en-
tering actively upon his political cam
paign. His action will no doubt be
regretted by those members of the
Board of Education who were anxious
to have the benefit of his services un-
til the last moment, but on mature re-
Election they will agree that he has
done the right thing in the right
way.
Doctor Brumbaugh has made a
most excellent superintendent of
schools, and the Board of Education
will do we'll If they succeed in getting
successor who can adequately fill his
official shoes. During the eight years
he has been in charge of the public
schools they have steadily advanced
in quality and usefulness. Doctor
Brumbaugh was the first Commission
er of Education of Porto Rico, and the
experience gained there no doubt con-
tributed to his value as an executive
of the Philadelphia school system. In
any event the teachers and all of those
connected with the schools will regret
the severance of Il relationship which
has been agreeable to all concerned.
The Board of Education, in it's wis
dom. has postponed action on the reg
ignation until the September meeting,
but Doctor Brumbaugh has the salts
faction of knowing that he has rec
ognized the fitness of things and has
placed himself and the board beyond
the reach of reasonable criticism.

primary returns, is hourishing like
the proverbial green bay tree.
Unfortunately for our future belief
In these accounts, we have had op-
portunity to study popular sentiment
first hand this week. The candidates
nave been circulating in towns within
telephone call of Harrisburg. Instead
OF hundreds of cheering supporters
thronging to the well l-advertised
places of meeting, the numbers of
those in attendance have been con-
fined to half-dozens and dozens, with
a few more in Williamstown last even
ing, drummed together after a walk
around by the local band.
Dauphin county people have had a
chance to count the attendance them
selves, but 1t will be noticed that the
Progressive and Democratic news
papers of to-day report the crowds
as big or bigger than they were in
other counties.
If we are to estimate the crowds
elsewhere by those here, and judge
these misleading newspaper reports in
that light. they will show up pretty
regularly as bald-faced fiction pub
lished to bolster up what its few re-
naming adherents realize is a hope
less cause.

AS TO PLATFORMS

WI HAT shall or shall not appear
M in the platform of a political
w party nowadays and under
the new order of things is not
very material. The people are more
concerned about the personality of
the candidate and his fitness to dis
charge the duties of the office he seeks
than they are over any high-sounding
phrases which are often invented to
catch the unwary voter. Since the
enactment of the open primary law
candidates are nominated directly by
the people and stand upon their own
utterances rather than upon any pro-
nouncement of party.
1t is rather peculiar situation that
candidates nominated at a primary
election are supposed to be guided by
a platform promulgated by members
of committee chosen at the same
election. In the old convention DAYS
the platform was of some Importance,
inasmuch as the candidates were con-
suited before the enunciation of the
party pTlnClples, ana tnuS stood be-
fore the people as the champions of
those principles. Since the adoption
of the Statewide primary, however,
the candidate goes before the people
upon his own declaration of princi-
pies. which are binding and personal,
whereas the subsequent platform
adopted by a committee after his
nomination counts for very little in
the public mind.
For instance, the nominee on a
nonpartisan ticket must go before the
people upon his own declaration of
principles, and in this respect he is no
different from the candidate of the
political party who is compelled to
take the public into his confidence in
the primary contest
It is for this reason that the pom
derous documents which are put out
after the nominations have been made
by the people themselves fail to make
=. very deep or lasting impression.

WILSON AND BUSINESS MEN

[From the Literary Digest.l
Now what, asks the New York Tri-
bune (Rep), has suddenly driven the
President to make the affectionate ad-
vances to business men with, which the
Warburg appeals and the exchanges
with the Chicago delegation bubble
over?" 1t answers by pointing out that
papers report the secession of Demo-
cratic Congressman from Colorado,
wholesale desertions from the party in
through the Middle West" So The Tri-
bune concludes that we have here "a
remarkable exhibition of agile political
country's sake that it is genuine and
"will bear genuine fruits" So, too, the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times (Rep.) finds
this remarkable departure" PRO
foundly suggestive of the possibility
that the administration has got the
country and itself into deep water and
is hard put to find a safe way out"

DECADENCE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT

DECADENCE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT
= UNLESS the people of Harrisburg

boast of civic pride will be as
empty as the air. For more
than a decade there has been wide

Taking advantage of this situation,

and the people themselves are appar-
emily Indifferent to these evident signs
of the decadence of civic pride and
interest
An instance of this is the consent of
the City Council that large water
main shall be laid in the river park
from North street to Paxton, practi-
cally the entire length of the old city,
simply because this was the cheaper
way to do it. No matter about the
recreation places which have been
created for the people at much ex-
pense and painstaking care.
Against the vigorous protest of the
head of that department, rip open the
parks for the water mains, destroy
the beautiful planting. drive carts and
wagons across the grass, and force
the thousands of men, women and
children from these open air and

HRES1DENT WILSON is doing
- well to consult the businessmen
= of the country. but number
of those who have been sum-
moned to the White House are hardly
of the sort to give him fair report
on fundamental conditions. However,
he must learn directly or indirectly of
the disaster which has come through
a continued policy of legislative ex-
perimentation.
There has been so much of theoreti-
cal government during the last year or
two in the State and the nation that
those who are in daily touch with the
substantial interests of the people
hesitate to push ahead without know
ing what is before them.
With enormous crops and the basic
conditions right for a great period of
prosperity, it is amazing that business
halts and hesitates. If the policies Of
the Administration at Washington are
not at fault, then an even more diff
cult situation is presented, inasmuch
as it is the common belief of all who
have made a study of conditions that
the uncertainty and depression are
the result of the lack of confidence in
the Administration.
There is certainly reason for 1t all,
and it is believed that general turn
over at the November election would
clear the air and permit the industry
nation to boom along as they should
be booming now save for the blow
they have received at the hands of
and the nameless fear of
further harassment at Washington.

Boost all the time. and, say,
Well have them back in first place

They've held the lead long time.
Because they've dropped this once
Gives no excuse for knocking,
So do not be a Ounce.

When next at home 1t plays,
And give the team a hip. hip,
And one or two hurrahs.
