That being the case, it is to the dis
credit of us all If the outward aspect
of the Capitol and its grounds do not
comport with the dignity of the struc-

To a singular degree our Governor
elect enjoys the esteem and confidence
of his fellow citizens. They feel that
they may safely leave with him the
supervision of the work of bringing
the Capitol into conformity with every
esthetic and practical requirement.

GRANT STATE CAPITOL NEEDS
(From the Public Ledger

No excuse is to be found in the un-
fortunate and deplorable scandals at
taching to the building and furnishing
of the Capitol for any failure on the
part OF the Legislature to grant as
much money as may be necessary for
its enlargement to make 1t adequate
for present needs.
While there is in the treasury of
the Commonwealth not one cent for
the powers that prey or for grafters,
the funds are at hand for carefully
supervised and lawful spending on
needed improvements in our public
buildings.
The Capitol is the architectural ex-
preston in granite, brick and steel,
mural decoration and sculpture, of
the memorials of our past. But it is
more than this. 1t is the meeting
place of the chosen representatives of

MACK AND THE TARIFF
n HAYOR BLANKENBURG,
N Philadelphia. has received r
niles to letters oddressad

n EAYOR BLANKENBURG, of
M Philadelphia. has received re-
! ! plies to letters addressed to
fifty representative business
men of Philadelphia, asking them
their opinions on the present state of
trade and prospects for the future.
Nearly all of them are hopeful of a
decided Improvement after January /.
But big majority lay the present de-
preston largely to the change in the
tariff and say the hope of the country
after the present war in Europe is
over lies in a revision upward.
Strange to say. this is also the view
of Norman E. Mack, national chair
man of the Democratic party until
President Wilson chose his own party
manager. Mr.. Mack expresses his
opinion on the tariff as follows:
To enable us to make them. and
insure the American business man
against the difficulties, uncertain
ties and losses inseparable from
starting a new Industry from the
ground up, is the wheel to which
Congress should put its shoulder
when the session begins next De-
cember. The only way to do 1t is
manufacturer is entitled to his
free raw materials, so that he may
have easy prices on his side in buy
ing the raw products from which
his commodities are made. He is
also entitled to all the reasonable
safeguards he can have in the way
of readiustment of such tariff
schedules as il shall be shown nee
essary to revise to meet the re-
quirements of the new situation.
Ex-Chairman Mack can hardly be
accused of playing politics in behalf
of the Republican party and his views
are diametrieally opposed to the DEM
ocratic charge that Republicans have
been using the protective tariff plea
only for the purpose of attracting
votes. Doubtless his ideas will receive
small consideration at Washington.
but Democrats the country over are
coming to understand that the business
of the nation is vitally associated with
the tariff and that the Underwood law
is fundamentally wrong.

Now that there is still another oppor-
tunity to procure large quantities of
first-class material for the filing out
of the River. Front through the excava-
tlon for the proposed union freight sta
tion in South Harrisburg. there should
be no delay in formulating such plans
as may be necessary to utilize this ma
terial. Now that the River Front work
has progressed to the stage where the
average citizen can readily understand
the scheme of Improvement there is
more general interest than ever before.

THE KNOCKER

After the rattle-snake. the skunk
and vampire, comes the knocl5er. A
knocker is a two-legged animal with
a cork-screw soul, a water-sogged
brain and a combination backbone
made of jelly and glue. Where other
people have their hearts he carries
a tumor of rotten principles. When
the knocker comes down the street,
honest men turn their backs, the
angels in heaven take precipitate
refuge behind their harps and the
devil barlocks the gates of hell.

Scottish Borderers firing into mob
in the streets of Dublin.
Seven of the wounded are expected
to die. Among them are three women
and a boy of ten.
The affray was the result of gun
running exploit of the Nationalist Vol
unteers, who were being aided by a
mob composed largely of women and
youths.
A consignment of rifles, said to
number 10000, was landed at Howth,
nine miles from Dublin, from a private
yacht.
The Nationist Volunteers cut the
telegraph wires and stopped travel on
the Dublin roads and, according to re-
ports, sent away most of the rifles to-
gether with 10000 rounds of ammuni-
ton in motor cars.
A battalion of the Kings Own Scot
tish Borderers was ordered to capture
the arms when the authorities heard
the Volunteers were bringing them
into the city.
The soldiers encountered detach-
ment of Volunteers in Sackville street
and an outbreak resulted, but there
was no shooting.
Soon great crowd collected and
followed the troops, jeering them and
cheering for John Redmond, the Ma
tionalist leader, and Home Rule.
Finally the mob began throwing bot
ties and stones, injuring several sol.
diers. To this attack the battalion
replied with a scattered fusillade. In
an instant the street was covered with
wounded, while terrified men and
women and children ran in all direc-
tions.

rifles from the Volunteers.

JONES WITHDRAWN
WILSON sURRENDERs TO THE
STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE
CHICAGO. MAN.
WAS HIS "PERS0NAL CHOICE"
Senators Hitherto Friendly to Ad-
ministratlon Warn President They
Are Against the Nominee for Fed
eral Reserve Board

| Washington, July 25. - President
| Wilson has withdrawn the nomination
of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago as
member of the federal reserve board
and so accepts the first defeat he has
received at the hands of congress.
Mr.. Jones was the presidents per
sonal choice for the board. The presi-
dent so announced several weeks ago
in letter to Senator Owen, chairman
Of the banking and currency commit
tee. This letter was the signal for re-
neWed efforts on the part of the sena-
tors opposing Jones. Their triumph
was signalized by the presidents an
nouncement.
The friends of the administration
made every effort to swing enough
votes to confirm Jones. They were at
least five short. The attacks on the
president. on Jones and on the Demo,
Gratis finally became so bitter that the
Democratic leaders went to the White
House and frantically urged the prest-
dent to give in.
The climax came when q group OF
senators who have been regarded as
friendly to the administration in the
fight sent word to the president that if
he forced them to vote they could not
and would not support him and
his candidate. Among these senators
were Clarke Of Arkansas, Johnson of
Maine Of TpI
were eight or nine others in the group
sufficient to convince even the presi.
dent that the outlook was hopeless.
The president did not take his defeat
gracefully. There is an underlying
note of bitterness in his letter to Mr..
Jones, according to his request that his
name be withdrawn, and with certain
amount Of sarcasm he refers to Sen.
ators Reed of Missouri and Hitchcock
of Nebraska, who were leading the
fight against Jones, as members of the
majority who have usually acted with"
the Republicans.
The presidents withdrawal of the
nomination came at the close of day
IN winch both the president and Jones
were bitterly attacked by senators op.
posed to the appointment.
Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat
in a speech to the senate, denounced
the Harvester trust, of which Jones is
director; characterized Jones, by in
ference, as a criminal, and indirectly
attacked the president as an enemy of
Democracy.

Democrat, introduced an amendment
to the trade commission bill to render
ineligible to the federal reserve board

ness.

New Orleans, July 27.-Two bandits
held up the New York flyer of the
Louisville & Nashville road, Just out
side Of New Orleans, killed Brakeman
Thomas Elgin, shot at the porter of
one of the sleepers, robbed the con-
ductor of $3.50 and transfer man of
$3.50 and then disappeared In the dark
ness Of the surrounding swamps.
The police of New Orleans sent a
posse of 80 men to hunt down the pair.
and the railroad company sent out a
special train with deputies,
The men boarded the train at New
Orleans and remained in one of the
sleepers until the limited slowed for
the crossing. Then one of them pulled
the bell cord, bringing the train to
stop. Instantly the leader, a tall man,
who appeared wearing a dark suit of
clothes and white bandage around
his face, pulled his revolver and COM
PEELED Conductor Potter to throw up
his hands. While Potter was covered
with the gun, the smaller bandit went
through his pockets, taking $3.50.
Just as they finished this work and
were starting toward the rear of the
train, a transfer man from New Or
leans entered the car The robbers
gearched him and obtained $3.50.
Eglin came in about this time, and
one of the robbers coolly fired at him,
putting bullet in the brakeman's alb
domen and killing him almost instant
ly. One of the negro porters also en-
tered the car, and was fired at, but
lodged out of sight unharmed
BY this time the train was humming
like a bee hive with angry passengers,
and the leader of the band blew a
whistle that hung around his neck and
ran to the door of the coach and
sprang 20 the ground. His partner fol-
lowed. Standing there in the dark
they fired half a dozen shots down the
length of the cars, driving everyone in
side for time. Then they ran down
the road for distance and vanished.
