EDITORIAL COMMENT

American recklessness causing great
loss of life and stupendous damage to
property by. fire is proverbial. The
fire records of American cities cause
appalled, amazement throughout Eu-
rope. No doubt there has been great
improvement in recent years, but
there is still great opportunity for a
national economy. Education is the
thing. Teaching the public, children
and adults alike, the habit of care
fulness is the first necessity. Attention
to details of safety by architects, build
ers and filters up of houses is of first
rate importance. The substitution of
uninflammable for dangerous ma
terials of all sorts should be urged.
The campaign is worthy of all the
energy that can be thrown into it.

The theory of recall of judges,
which never was defended by sound
thinking men, is dying a natural death
and it will soon take it's place in that
limbo of foolish products of political
ignorance occupied by the greenback
and free silver craze.-Philadelph
Ledger.

LOCAL COOPERATION

IT is a qualification to the citizens of
Harrisburg, more of whom should
be identified with this important
body, that the Chamber of Com
merce Is not only giving attention to
the needs of the city and it's develop
ment, but is also looking after the
pleasure of the people. At the annual
meeting this week reference was made
to the dignifled Fourth of July cele-
bration of this year under the auspices
OF the organization, to its part in the
decoration of the city for the firemen's
convention, and at the same session
preliminary steps were taken for an
interesting historical pageant and
river carnival next sum 1t is this
cooperation of the people that has
made the new Harrisburg and which
assures the constant progress of the
city.
II our own people could hear the
many pleasant things said about Har-
risburg and it's splendid advance of re-
cent years they would be repaid for all
their effort and trouble. The river
carnival and historical pageant now
under consideration is certain to pro-
vide our citizens and thousands of
strangers an opportunity to see for
themselves what great changes have
been wrought along the front of the
city In the permanent treatment of the
river slope and low water line.
But until and unless the ragged
masses of silt and refuse which have
accumulated over a period of years
outside the concrete wall are removed
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-07

there will be a serious defect in an
admirable public improvement. 1t is
still the hope of all interested in this
great work that the municipal authori-
ties concerned and the contractors
will make a real effort before cold
weather to eliminate all of these un-
slightly deposits from Iron alley to
Maclay street.
1t is their duty and 1t ought to be
their pleasure to complete the work
and crown their own efforts with the
removal of all this rubbish.

LET'S HAVE NEWS
BY Wing Dinger

For days I've snatched the paper,
AS It's come from the press,
And hustled through the war news
With all my eagerness
To try to get a line on
Who's winning in the war,
But when I'm through I've learned
naught
That I knew not before.
The Germans right and left wings
I've followed to the front;
Ive read how this or that corps
Has borne the battles brunt
I've read of how the allies
Have driven them all back.
And then of how the Germans
Recovered for attack
I've read of how the latter
Have regained some lost ground,
And then again the allies
The Germans most surround
1t seems to me the censors
Should change their dope a bit,
For now it's just plain see-saw,
And we're all tired of it.

POLITICS AND RELIGION

IT is not surprising that prominent
churchmen and religious and tenn
/ perance leaders are protesting
against the use of these agencies
to promote partisan politics. Church
conferences and synods have been led
into an atmosphere of partisanship by
emissaries of the Democratic candi-
date for Governor wearing the cloak
of the clergy and reform.
1t is the right of every individual to
form his own conclusions respecting
the exercise of the voting franchise
but grave consequences are certain to
follow any misuse of religious instru-
mentalities and temperance propa-
ganda for a particular candidate.
There has never been a campaign in
Pennsylvania wherein such brazen in
vasion of religious organizations has
been encouraged in the interest of one
candidate as against others equally
entitled to the consideration of Chris
tian voters.
1t is time for the hosts of supporters
of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor. to
make their protest felt in the bodies
that have been led into this inde-
fensible attitude by scheming parti-
sans of an ambitious candidate.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas w McKenty.
at a meeting of an association of
Methodist preachers in PHILADELPHIA
this week, declared that it was i'm
proper to convert a preachers meet
ing into political meeting, no matter
what the virtues of the issues involved.
He stated that such resolutions -as
those endorsing particular candidates
explained the failure of the association
TO exert the influence it once did in
this community" DIR. McKenty went
further and declared that the reso-
luton did not represent the sentiments
OF the Methodist people of Philadel-
phia. You are injuring the influence
of the ministry because you are trying
to mix theology and politics and you
are making mess of it," was his con-
clusion.
Scores and hundreds of clergymen
agree with their protesting Philadel-
phia brother. These realize that in
fuences are at work beneath the sur
face that are likely to involve a num-
Der of the religious bodies in endless
controversies.
Ihose who have any knowledge of
the recent so-called nonpartisan tenn
perance conference in this city, which
endorsed Mccormick for Governor,
are quite familiar with the motives
and purposes of the individuals who
handled that particular affair. These
same persons are evidently busy now
with the denominations bodies in diff
ferent places throughout the State in
pushing through similar endorsements.
Reaction against the candidate in
whose interest this manipulation of
religion and temperance for political
purposes has been scandalizing the
State is certain to follow.

Democratic party had a voice in the
executive department of the State
government.
One who reads in the Democratic
journals the bitter denunciation of
Republican misrule at Harrisburg will
have difficulty in reconciling these at
tacks with the fact that Pennsylvania,
almost continuously Republican, is the
only State in the Union that is out of
debt.
There have doubtless been cases of
misrule at Harrisburg for which the
Republican party is properly charg-
able, but we submit that this party
should, on the other hand. have credit
for good housekeeping on the part
of the executive department of the
state government, shown by the fact
that the expenditures of the State have
always been fully and promptly met
by the State revenues.

Where was Mccormick, with his
recently discovered local option views
when Brumbaugh was stumping the
State for prohibition? Has McCor-
mick ever sacrificed his own time and
comfort-except in the present cam
paign, to crafty his own selfish am
bitions-in the cause of temperance
Without thought other than for
what he sincerely believed was for
the good of all the people, DIR. Brum-
baugh campaigned in years past for
temperance even as he is now cam
paigning for his own election. His
record is clear and his position un-
mistakably in favor of local option.
1t is not merely campaign argument
with him, but a firm conviction for
which he was willing to stand in years
when anti-liquor sentiment was not
so popular as 1t is to-day. The voter
will recognize in DR.. Brumbaugh a
candidate who began his fight for
temperance years ago and in McCor-
mick a nominee who has adopted the
local option war cry as a means of
getting votes for himself
