JUDGE KUNKEL's CANDIDACY
GFrom the Philadelphia Record.l

GFrom the Philadelphia Record.1
Ir yesterdays issue of The Record a
Harrisburg correspondent called atten-
ton to the admirable record of Judge
George Kunkel, of Dauphin county. a
candidate for promotion to the Su-
preme Court. and urged that he be
supported at the polls next week. To
all that he said in praise of the Judge
we gladly give assent. 1t is many
years since any member of the ju-
dietary in Pennsylvania has rendered
such valuable service to the State as
Judge Kunkel did by the able and inn
partial manner in which he presided
over the trial of the Capitol grafters.
His wise decisions on disputed points
left no loopholes for successful ap-
peals, and the conviction and impris-
onment of the faithless officials proved
q powerful demonstration of the su-
premacy of the law and justice at a
time when it was greatly needed.
In all his judicial career Judge
Kunkel has shown the same high
standard of public service, so that he
is rightly regarded as one of the best
common pleas judges in the State. 1t
is also to be said in his favor that his
candidacy is nonpartisan. or his OPP
ponent, Judge Frazer, of Allegheny
county. this cannot be said. for he is
distinctly the favorite of the Repub-
lican organization. While his record
is clean. there is still the stamp of the
machine upon his candidacy. AS be-
tween the two. voters who believe in
keeping the judiciary out of politics
should give their preference to Judge
Kunkel 1t is also to be said in his
favor that he is considerably younger
than Judge Frazer. and that the State
may therefore expect from him a
greater length OF service.
In voting for judges it is we'll for
electors to remember that the ballot
is nonpartisan, and that mark in the
party column does not count. The
cross must be placed opposite the
name of Judge George Kunkel. At
the same time the candidacy OF Judge
Frank NJ TreXler, of Lehigh county,
for the Superior Court, of which he is
now a member by appointment, should
not be overlooked. Judge Trexler has
a long and honorable judicial record,
having served ten years on the COM
mon pleas bench, and he is indorsed
by the leading lawyers of the State. Do
not forget to put cross-marks opposite
the names of Judges Kunkel and Trek.
Ter in the judicial column of the ballot
on Tuesday next.

POLITICAL SIDE[ICHTS

Men who do not parade tonight
need not come around any McCor-
mick, Democratic or Washington
headquarters, when the "kale" is
passed out
Judging from the efforts being
made to drum up crowds for McCor-
mick's homecoming tonight some
one is trying to make a showing for
some reason.
DR.. Brumbaugh is in Chester
county to-day and it's going to be for
Brumbaugh this year.
Palmer appears to have things
nicely arranged for job.
And now they're saying that
Brumbaugh will get whopping vote
in Democratic Berks.
Mccormick must be badly ratified
to be spending so much eleventh-hour
time in such n Democratic stronghold
as York county.
Wonders if Morris letter to Neil
Bonner will be read at Mccormick
homecoming tonight?
Reports that the Anti-Saloon
League is on Morris trail are not
correct. The people who have been
contributing to it will wake up after
Tuesday.
-Anti-Saloon League Boss Moore
ought to read the first page of the
Telegraph tonight.
-NOiduu .. NoIllS dPPedIS TO De
the evil genius of McCormick's cam
paign.
-Nevin DIETRICH broke loose again
last night. He said 200, 900 for Pin
chot and was promptly locked up
again.
After Tuesday Dean Lewis will
be wondering how he made such a
mistake. Speaking of very woolly
lambs, isn't the dean a choice one?
The Colonel probably forgot the
dean when he talked about lambs.
Most goats do forget when they start
to butt in.

THOSE former Harrisburg citizens
who have returned recently for
= a look over the old town are
more than surprised with the
changes in the southern section of the
city, especially in those portions af-
fected by the important subway i'm
provements of the Cumberland Valley
Railroad.
1t has not been forgotten that South
Second street was once the most fash<
ionable residential part of the city,
but now it has become almost exclu-
sively a business district, and with
the completion of the subway at Null
berry street will be even more a
wholesale section. Through the re-
moval of hundreds of houses, the
change of the street grade and the
elimination of a dangerous grade
crossing, the location for big whole
sale houses is admirable. What is
now chaos will soon be well-ordered
and substantial business section, es-
pecially when the big union freight
station shall have been erected south
of the subway.
And 1t is fortunate that this great
work is going on at this time of
severe depression in business. Hun
dreds of men who would otherwise
be idle are given steady employment.
Meanwhile the Golfer dams for the
enlarged piers which will support the
new double track bridge which will
cross the river at Mulberry. street are
also being installed, and so long as
this work can go forward a consider
able number of men will be employed.
All these undertakings. including
those of the municipality now under
way, mean work for an army of men.

ly expressed by John Dalzell in his
letter of October 10. With long
and honorable experience in legisla-
tive halls, an ardent champion of
protection to American labor. Mr..
Dalzell expresses the feelings of
Pennsylvania freemen when he
says;
competency is all around us. Demo-
cratic policies have depleted the
national Treasury; they have closed
many of our workshops; they have
created an army of the unemployed;
they have paralyzed capital and de-
stroyed public confidence. In addi-
tion they have imposed on us as a
people a system of the most intoler-
able taxation"
Mr. Dalzell further says: Under
protection Pennsylvania has grown
great in every department of
human endeavor. Under that policy
capital has found opportunity for
profitable investment, and labor for
steady employment at remunera-
tive wage"
Is not that statement true? Dare
you deny it?
Mr.. Dalzell proceeds: "The Un-
derwood tariff law is direct and
destructive blow at the interests
of Pennsylvania, and no man is
more responsible for its passage
than the. gentleman who, at the
DeHesl u llS ItSlueIN, - lHS
Democratic candidate for United
States Senator in Pennsylvania.
He abandoned the interests of his
own people and merits their con-
demnation at the polls"
Can you deny the charge?
Is not Mr.. Dalzell correct when
he says-'Mr. Palmer's opponent.
the Republican candidate. Boise
Penrose, has spent a lifetime in
the public service as an advocate
of protection and defender of
the interests of his native State?"
Need it then surprise you, gem

keystone State prefer their friend
to their betrayer?

~ home on every voter when, dur
ing his speech in Chestnut Street
Hall Wednesday evening, he said:
l am persuaded that good man
does not become bad man by the
mere fact that he has been elected
Governor of Pennsylvania.
Nobody will dispute that. Never
theless, the whole woof and weave Of
the campaign against DIR. Brumbaugh
has been based on the premise that
while DIR. Brumbaugh is a good man
of high principles, unquestioned hon
esty and excellent character, as Gov
ernor he will turn dishonest and do
everything that the people do not want
him to do and nothing that they really
desire in the way of improving living
conditions in Pennsylvania.
We have been told that DIR. Brum-
baugh says he will do this. that and
the other good thing, but that, all
though he is a man of his word. never
known to lie or deceive throughout
thirty years of public life, he will not
keep his promises.
DR.. Brumbaugh has been a good
man all his life and he will no more
change his character as Governor than
the leopard can change it's spots.
The men who would have you be-
lieve DR.. Brumbaugh will be a bad
man in office must suspect that be-
meath the surface of every man of
good reputation there lies the nature
and character of a beast ready to
break forth at a moments notice.
Somebody has said: "One man judges
another by his own character" Per-
haps that is so in this case.

not they agree with him politically

Roosevelt's assertion.
When, therefore. the ex-President be-
comes a false witness against a citizen
of Pennsylvania like Mr.. Brumb2ugh.

of recognized high standing in the
community, denouncing them as advo-
Gates of the interests of rum and red

EDITORIAL COMMENT
IMPRESSIONS OF A CANDIDATE
[From the Mercer Dispatch. ]


Vance c, Mccormick, the Democratic
reputation as a gentleman, but he evil
IDENTIFY has failed to learn or refuses to
recognize the courtesy due an honor
able opponent, and this fact alone will
cost him thousands of votes. DR.. Brum-
baugh, the Republican nominee, is
man of unblemished character and his
record of service to the public and. in
the cause of humanity, to speak mildly,
will bear comparison with that of Mr..
Mccormick or any other man. No man
dare question any act of his very busy
and useful life. AS to their nomina
ton the two men stand on the same
plane, both having been chosen agaipst
opposition in open primaries, Yet MIR.
Mccormick, in his speech In Mercer on
Tuesday not once but dozen times or
esty and questioned the sincerity of his
pledges to the people, sim-'v because
he has refused to repudiate other can
didates on his ticket, who. like himself,
were nominated at primary In which
every voter had an opportunity to ex-
press his will. His remarks left bit
ter taste in the mouths of the fair
minded men in his audience and Great,
ed a sentiment that is likely to prove
detrimental to the aspirations of the
ambitious but unwise young gentleman
from Harrisburg.
Nothing is more certain than the
complete discontinue of the present

them to explain or justify their at
tacks on DE- Rrumbaugh. - Altoona

BOSTON. Feb. 1s-The market was weak in the early trading today. due more to bearish operations than real liquidation. the latter being decidedly small As was expected. the demand on the decline was good and prices advanced easily on published state ment that President Wilson would urge a more speedy settlement of the freight rate question. Market ad- yancea sharply but was raided in last half nour on reported denial by the president of any such action, The close low ever. was firm at general net advances for the day.

 Southern Pacific Talks on
 Archaeology and Cotton With His Regular Work

Incidentally. yet effectively, boosting the archaeological values to be found in the State cf Arizona and particu- laryq the old ruins at Casa Gran1e, w. E. Barnes, traveiing freight and passenger agent for the Southern Pa cifc. spent yesterday in Bisbee. He will leave today for Cananea.
 Since coming to Arizona from Mex leo, several years ago, Barnes has interested himself in the archaeological conditions of the southwest. He was born in England, educated there and on the continent cf Europe and spent years in the Holy Land, Egypt and in India h all of these places he has taken a very active part in investigat- ing prehistoric civilization.
 He sees in Arizona signs of civil. ization as remote in their origin as those of Nipuur and Babylon and is active in campaign to have the gov ernment investigate them at length.
 The people O.. this state declared Barnes last evening. little realize what a treasure house of history Ari- zona really is. Should similar condi- tions exist in Europe the American people would be paying their money to visit them. Here they are passed without so much as passing look.
 Barnes interested President Wilde of the University and together with others in the state has started an active campaign through the Arizona senators and congressman and the secretary of the Smithsonian Insti- ute. W. B. Wolcott, for a develop ment of the local field in archaeology.
 Another state industry, novel in the United States, which the railroad man is boosting Is the growing CT the Egyptian long staple, sea island cotton. Having resided in the land of Pharoahs for year Barnes is very fla miliar with the crops and the general conditions there He has taken very active interest in the acreage planted in the various sections of the state.
 The Salt River Valley will plant In the neighborhood of five tftusand acres in this crop next season. The Yuma valley approximately 1000 acres, the Tucson arms Company aboait 100 acres and Safford. Sacaton Casa Grande and other points In Southern Arizona several hundred acrse each.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The market was upset by conflicting reports con corning the probable disposition of the freight rates The movement of prices hinged almost entirely cn these reports. which, as they circuiat. cd through Wall street were so con traiictory that before the close spec uiators were badly confused. The situation had exerted a oppressive in. fluence so long that spectators were greatly relieved when the news came from Washington that the president favored a speedy decision.
 The street, however, jumped to the conclusion that the president favored the increase. A Wall street agency published statement giving informa. ton from a source close to the in- terstate Commerce Commission" which indicated that a favorable decision would be rendered at early date
 On the strength of these assump- tions the market, which had been dull and irregular earlier in the day advanced strongly. lt was half an hcur before the c.ose that the street learned it had assumed too much.
