PLANNING COMMISSION

-HERE is pending before the City
Council an ordinance making an
/ appropriation for proper engi-
neering services for the City
Planning Commission. At the meet
ing of the Council this week some OBJ
lection was made to the appropriation
on the score that funds were unavail-
able or that these services might in
volve too great an outlay.
It is commendable that the commits
sioners should exercise great care in
the expenditure of public moneys, but
the economy should not be so rigid as
to hamper in any degree the lmpor-
tant activities of a department which
rhas placed upon it a responsibility that
IS little understood by many of our
people.
For years the development of the
suburban districts of Harrisburg has
been along Indifferent and careless
Hines to the extent that when these
districts have been annexed to the
municipality enormous expense has
followed in making them conform to
the city proper, especially in the matter

SIR THOMAS BLAMELEss

a MERICANS will receive with
~ pleasure the announcement that
4 Z Sir Thomas Upton was in no
wise entangled in the canteen
scandals that have lately caused a
stir in England. Sir Thomas has been
found blameless by the stockholders
of the company and by the British
government and comes out of the af-
fair with his good name untarnished.
In the United States little atten-
ton was given the charges against
Upton. Nobody ever believed him
guilty. He is too fair and honest in
his sport to stoop to dishonesty in
business business, by the way, that
provides him with more money earned
legitimately than he could spend on
a whole fleet of cup challenging
yachts. But it Is just as we'll that
the noted English yachtsman comes to
America in his latest attempt to lift
the cup with his reputation as fault
less as his craftsmanship. It saves
considerable embarrassment all around.

POLITICAL SIDEucHTS

-Creasys high cost of living speech
and Dan Harris famous peaceful twi-
light" for the Democracy remarks will
be twin jokes of the campaign.
The Democratic machine ought
to have a chain on Greasy.
How many Mccormick
committees failed to file expense ac-
counts.
If Greasy will only keep on the
Republican job of cleaning up the
election will be easy.
Dean Lewis seems to think he
has about the same swell chance as
Mccormick in winning the election.
Palmer will open his campaign
in Huntingdon next week. He will
discuss the seatorship, however.
Greasy ought to be given a sub
scription to the Patriot so that he
will keep in line with what the bosses
think.
Wonder how Representatives
Humes, Benson and other Democrats
who grabbed for hospital appropria-
tions will like the Greasy denunciation
of the charity appropriation system
Greasy is evidently ambitious to
be a star again. He was a real star
a few legislative sessions ago.
Northumberland Democrats will
have a county committee meeting on
Monday. Mccormick will not be
there.

GREASY AT TT AGAIN

<<TARMER" GREASY is at 1t
again! Notwithstanding that
= the State Grange is supposed
to be a nonpartisan body. he
numbered into town yesterday and un-
blushingiy turned over bodily so much
of it as he personally controls to the
Democratic bosses. Fortunately, he
has not much weight with the great
masses of farmers, who know that the
Farmer" is a member of the Grange
only for business reasons and is active
in its affairs only when there are per-
sonal profits in sight.
But for the world-renowned cham
pion ground and lofty tumbler in the
political arena, such as the Farmer"
is supposed to be, he made an awful
fizzle of his performance here yester-
day, and will no doubt be called to
the carpet by Palmer, Mccormick and
his other colleagues on the Democratic
ticket.
While they have been proclaiming
broadcast the benefits of the Demo-
cratic tariff, the Farmer" let out a
hoarse roar of agony over prevailing
high prices and wanted the public
to understand that the farmer is not
to blanche natural inference being
that the trouble must lie at Washing
ton.
Likewise he let go a broadside at
those who spent money in behalf of
candidates and who did not report the
same-regardless of the fact that nu-
merous Palmer and Mccormick local
committees conveniently forgot to
comply with the law in this respect,
and that some of the accounts that
were filed might not conform in all
respects with the legal requirement to
tell "the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth"
If the Farmer" will only continue
his present line of argument it might
pay the Republican State committee
to employ him as a stump speaker for
the Fall campaign.

II
NJ risburg to-day are lower than
w those of a year ago.
Prices of foodstuffs and
household necessities are on an aver
age ten per cent. higher.
Labor was scarce last year; to-day
contractors can obtain any number
of men.
On these premises Republican news
papers are asked by Democratic poll
ticians and newspapers whose selfish
purposes are dependent on the popu-
larity of the Wilson administration
to proclaim prosperity in the land.
Because the soup house is not a
prospect of the immediate future and
because starvation is not actually
threatening thousands of our people,
we are expected to keep quiet concern
ing the deplorable failure of the
Democrats at Washington and to
calmly submit to their mischievous
program of business legislation.
1t has become a shameful thing
to point out the broken promises of
those in authority at the national cap
ital. We are to light the little gas jet of
things gs-as-they- ought-to-be and imme-
diately the great sun of things-as-
they-are will be blotted out! We are
to hide our heads, like the ostrich,
in the sands of the desert places and
dream ourselves into the midst of a
oertr,
that prices are lower under the new
tariff than under the old, and at once
our grocery bills will be reduced. We
are to tell ourselves that wages for the
day laborer-the man who needs the
money most-are higher than they
were under Republican rule, and at
once the pay envelope will be swelled.
We are to imagine more men are at
work now than year ago and there
will be jobs for all.
The thing is as silly as II is wicked.
It is not the province of the newspa-
per to do other than reflect the condi-
tions as they exist. If there be an evil
1t becomes the duty of the newspaper
to point it out, and, if the remedy is
at hand, to suggest it. That is what
Republican, independent and many
fearless Democratic newspapers the
country over are doing.
In this land of plenty and to spare,
with record breaking crops in sight
and harassed and impatient business
held in check only by the blunderers
at Washington, the workman has a
right to expect that his wages shall be
going up instead of coming down; that
he shall be permitted to share In the
bountiful gifts of nature, and, with
the tariff wall removed, that he shall
be given the benefit of the loudly her
aided lower prices that were to fol-
low.
These are the things he was prom
ised and because he complains that
he has been fooled honest newspa-
pers are asked to tell him to take
back seat. shut up and be glad condi-
tons are no worse.
Don't tell the truth" has become
the slogan of the Democratic press.

CANDIDATES ARE
STARTING TUNES
Mayor Royal Likely to Be Can
didate For the City Council
in Next Year

Although a year must elapse before
the primary election is held for the
nomination of candidates for munich
pal and county offices some aspirants
for Office have commenced to tune up
and there are numerous suggestions OF
men for various places.
County Commissioner John H. Eby
expects to have the backing of the
Mccormick machine for the nomina-
tion for sheriff and ex-Sheriff ]. Rowe
Fletcher is being favorably spoken of
by many Republicans. Harry Lowry
may be a Bull Moose candidate.
Sheriff Harry c. Wells is mentioned
as a Democratic candidate for county
commissioner. Deputy Register C. w.
Rubendall, of Millersburg, and DIR. C.
A. Fritchey, of this city, are talked
of for the Democratic nomination for
recorder and ex-Recorder William A.
McIlhenny and Recorder o. G. Wick
ersham may try again.
The woods will be full of candidates
for mayor. EX-Mayor E. S. Meals will
likely stand and e. M. Winters thinks
the Democrats are calling him. The
city councilmen will all be candidates
TO succeed themselves, ana Mayor
Royal will be a candidate for mem
bership i'm that body. And there will
be others.

whatever the people wanted him to
do to down the Republicans. When
he was asked whether he thought the
Democratic and Bull Moose machines
represented the voice of the people

opinion by the proletariat. Greasy

show of electing their ticket and is
willing to sacrifice himself and with

properly.
