is MODEST AND SHY

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
There was thrown upon my doorstep
to-day four-page circular of news
paper size booming the Harrisburg
Patriot and especially it's owner, Vance
Mccormick, who is conducting q mod
est campaign for himself for the office
of Governor. What l have particularly
in mind is the egotism and vanity of
one who will take unto himself credit
for all the good things that ever hap
pen in Harrisburg and ignore all other
persons Surrounding himself with
the pictures of the before and after
conditions in this city as the result of
the Improvement campaigns during
the last few years, Mccormick takes
all the credit and mentions not word
about the hundreds of good citizens
who were actually responsible for the
regeneration and transformation of
the city.
One who was interested in that first
campaign for better conditions here
tells me that Mccormick as a candi-
date for mayor in 1902 was Indifferent
to the Improvement crusade and didn t
want to be too closely identified with
it for fear of the effect of the oppo-
sition on his candidacy. He wanted to
be Mayor more than he wanted the
improvements.
Also. it must not be forgotten that
many of the most important changes
for the better in Harrisburg have come
since the brief term of Mccormick as
mayor. He was a byproduct of the
improvement campaign of 1902 and
those who were most potent in that
first crusade regarded the election of
mayor as a mere incident of the whole
proposition. Any effort to give McCor-
mick sole credit for the great work of
improvement in this city covering a
period of moro than twelve years will
recoil upon the head of the ambitious
individual who is now denouncns
everybody opposed to his further po-
litical schemes.
Any attempt to glorify Mccormick
at the expense of tho 't''~ &c good
men and women rhc

by j. Horace Mcfarland who refers

COMPLIMENT FOR KUNKEI,

II is not often that a Legislature
pays judge of the courts the
/ compliment of declaring it's APPROVAL
of one of his judicial decisions. But
that is just what the Attorney Cen
erals Department says the Legislature
of Pennsylvania did for Judge Kunkel
in a recent instance
In an opinion just handed down the
Attorney Generals Department de-
cides that county authorities in every
county in Pennsylvania are entitled to
charge the State at the rate of 81 per
week for each insane criminal main
tanned in a county institution This
ruling will save large sums to the tax
payers of many counties which care
is based on one of Judge Kunkel's
decisions
The point was raised by DR.. Frank
Woodbury., secretary of the committee
on lunacy of the State Board of Pub
lie Charities and it hinges largely on a
construction of State law by President
Judge George Kunkel of Dauphin
county, now a candidate for the State
Supreme Court bench. The case I'm
question was that of the trustees of
the Danville State Lunatic Hospital
VS.. Lycoming County. tried in the
Dauphin County Court. In his opinion.
which was sustained by the Supreme
Court, Judge kunkel decided that the
term "indigent insane" as used in the
statute providing that the State is
liable for their keep to the amount of
So per week lis broad enough to cover
all INDECENT insane persons, whether
| they be criminal or not
On the strength of this the Attorney
Generals Department rules that county
officials are entitled to receive So from
the State treasury each week for each
| INDECENT insane person maintained in
any of the county institutions. The
case had attracted the attention of
county authorities all over the State who
were not acquainted with the prece-
dent established by the Supreme Court
decision sustaining Judge Kunkers
opinion in the Lycoming county suit.
This decision was so strong that the
Legislature of 1913 passed an act of
which the Attorney Generals Depart
ment says: This statute is practically
a legislative declaration OF its ap-
proval of the decision" by Judge
Kunkel in the Lycoming county case.
This is only an instance of the
splendid service Judge Kunkel has
rendered during his occupancy of the
Dauphin county bench. Justice, law
and hard common sense are combined

IN PURE FRIENDSHIP

[From the New York SUM-
Addressing the Congress of the Unit
ed States on Monday, April 20, Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson said:
"This Government can, I earnestl
hope, in no circumstances be forced in
to war with the people of Mexico.
Our feelings for the people q
Mexico is one of deep and genuin
friendship" N
The same day President Victorian
Huerta, of Mexico, speaking to th
newspaper correspondents in his capi
tai, declared that:
"In the remote case of friction be
tween the countries the people of thi
republic will bear no animosity towar
the people of the United States, who's
neighbors they are"
These preliminary protestations haI
ing been duly recorded, each leadd
with the utmost energy fastened TIL
preparations for shooting up the ped
pie of the other, confident that ever
case of shrapnel, every steel jacketd
bullet, every solid shot and every sabI
cut would be given and received in
spirit of complete amity and concord.

THE "WATCHFUL WAITING"
philadelphia Inquirerl

The time for argument has gone by.
Shots in anger have been fired. Amer
lean blood stains the streets of Vera
Cruz. The war--the war that was to
be peaceful and that was aimed at
Huerta alone-has begun. None but
thoroughly impracticable persons
could see any other end. However,
discussion must now merge into ac-
ton. The appeal is now to patriot
ism, and from the border to border
there will be a response. to any call
that may issue for sufficient troops to
s, e the war to a finish, no matter
where it may lead. Only let us go
into this war with our eyes open to
what it means, We are fighting to
sustain a mistaken administration
policy adopted a year ago-and for
very little else.
So let us have done with theories.
They are unworthy of the President
of the United States. Since the Presi-
dent considers that it is necessary to
punish Huerta, apd since he has sent
his fleet of battleships with thousands
of marines and bluejackets to do the
furnishing, the country must sustain
him, although it be led into a long
and costly war involving tens of thou
sands of troops and millions upon mil
lions of dollars.

there are two phases of the national
sport which must appeal to every COM
munity First, the value of the sport
itself in building UP vigorous man
hood; and, secondly; the value of pub
licity obtained through the work of a
winning team.
Manager Cockill in his modest little
he had anything to do with the Har-
risburg club there would be clean ball
and clean sport at Island Park and
this assurance is going to mean much
more in the way of substantial ap-
peal for support of the club than any
other argument that might be ad-
duced. Harrisburg is an up-to-date
and wide-awake city and we believe
that there is sufficient interest in the
national game here and in the city
itself to place the club on firm basis.
There are few busy men who
are not interested more or less in
baseball and we believe that the
recreation which comes to the work
ers of any community through this
sport is of benefit in more ways than
one.
There has been turn for the
better in the baseball situation here
and the Chamber of Commerce has
once more proved its value as me-
dunn through which the various in
terests of the community may give ex-
preston to those things which con-
cern thousands of our people.

The job is laid out for us, and the
American people are going to see it
through. They are going to stand be-
hind the President and the flag. There
may be much less enthusiasm mani
Tested for the President than for the
flag but there won't be any copper
headism. There is no use in looking
backward just now or in discussing
past blunders of policy, theory or ac-
tion. There is no use at the present
time in picturing the might-h have

sponsible authorship of the war. These
questions must now be left to history.
The events of day before yesterday
and yesterday at Vera Cruz and Tam

from the antecedent situation
The practical result of the notion
that there can be a war on a single

The net result of the first day of the
third week of Mr.. Ryan's tour of the
State was the confident prediction of
the Ryan forces, apparently based on
concrete facts, that the city solicitor of
Philadelphia would carry both coun-
ties in his primary contest with Vance
c. Mccormick. Ryan sentiment is
strong in Cameron county townships
and the Palmer Mccormick leaders
admit their strength is in the country
districts, where the vote is so small as
to be almost negligible, and that Ryan,
in all probability, will sweep EN-
porium, the main center of population.

EVENING CHAT

Judging from reports brought to
this city from Perry and other coun-
ties up the Juniata Valley and, in
deed, from other mountain sections of
the State there are many deer to be
seen about the valleys and the num-
Der of does has materially increased.
The passage of the law prohibiting the
killing of deer without horns has had
the effect of causing deer to multiply
and in some sections of the State,
notably this vicinity, the deer have
appeared close to towns and have be-
come a nuisance to farmers because
of destruction of crops Deer have
been seen swimming the Susquehanna
and Juniata upon number of occa-
SionS and they have been so tame
that they have not run away when
teams have passed within an eighth
of a mile. There are probably more
deer in Dauphin county than for years
and the closing of Lebanon to deer
hunting will have the effect of in
creasing Dauphin deer because the
section of our daughter county in
which it is proposed to place the deer
for breeding purposes is along the
same ridges that extend into Dauphin.
The northern end of Lebanon affords
some fine hunting country, say people
familiar with it and properly stocked
and protected would be hunting
ground close to Harrisburg, whose
sportsmen might we'll cooperate with
