LOGICAL COMPARISONS

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Having been almost a constant reader
of yUur paper for n number of years,
and thorough believer of the doctrine
that you so thoroughly maintain. 1
though that the following might find
a sp~cs in your paper
The breaking out of the war demon
stfatTc, in an unanSwera BILE manner
the folly OF previous legislation in re-
gard to the merchant marine.
Wa discovered all of a sudden that
we had no ships to send our goods
abroad.
What would have been the conditions
of this country IL the Democratic
policy of free trade had obtained dur
ing the last forty years, instead of the
protective policy of the Republican
party. which has enabled this country
to build up great manufacturing inter
ests, until now to-day we are ready
to furnish everything that we may re-
quire and all that may be demanded
OF us from outlying countries, such as
South America, etc. Wonder II there is
sense enough left in the Democratic
party, to recognize the fact that we
would have been a helpless nation
without anywhere to turn for aid, as
the foreign mills could not supply MS
and we would have had none of our
own.
What stronger argument can we find
for the benefit of a protective tariff in
the situation now existing, which en-
ables us in this respect to be indepen-
dent of the whole world?

ONLY TWO REAL PARTIES
(Philadelphia Inauirerl


When we come right down to plain
facts, the contest in Pennsylvania. as
1t is elsewhere, is between the policies
of the Democratic Party and those of
the Republican, Either Democratic
or Republican candidates must win.
So well recognized is this that every-
where the return of the 1912 Progress
sives to the Republican Party has be-
come almost a stampede. There is no
object whatever to be gained by cast
ing vote for Mr.. F'linn's Washington
Party candidates-none whatever
The Washington Party voter is es-
sentially an assistant Democrat.
Besides, there is no longer any con-
vicing reason why there should be a
third party ticket this year. The Re-
publican Party is no longer open to
the charge of bossism. Conventions
are things of the past. The Republi-
can voter is his own boss and makes
his own selections of candidates at the
Statewide primaries. In precisely
the same manner he will choose his
own candidate for President two years
hence.
Add to this reform the fact that the
platform adopted last night. and upon
which the candidates will stand, is sc
broad and so progressive that II
ought to satisfy every reasonable in
dependent it would seem as II the
split in the Republican Party should
be healed in order that an end may
be put to experimental and danger
Gus legislation.
We have been running the country
on theory. It is high time that we
got back to the practical.

1t is now proposed by the statesmen
at Washington to place a tax of . or 10
per cent. on railroad tickets and ad-
mission to theaters, baseball parks and
other licensed amusements. 1t is also
alleged that soft drinks are as much
luXuries as wines or beer, and that an
equitable distribution of the tax burden
among all consumers would be accom-
plished by placing a tax upon these
beverages as upon beers and patent
medicines, as is now contemplated by
the House ways and means committee,
which is preparing an emergency reve-
nue. bill to offset Treasury losses. Thus
we pay the freight of the war lords of
Europe.

PRIMARY PRETENSE

t appears that the fragrant dis
regard of the spirit of the primary
law by the leaders and political
parties most insistent in urging the
change in the system of nominations
is not going to be overlooked by in
fluential newspapers representing these
offenders against consistency. For in
stance. the New York World thus
severely characterizes the action taken
by the Progressives at Utica in recon-
mending candidates for nomination
for State office:
If Barnes machine or Murphy's
machine had undertaken to tear up
a candidate for Governor, that
would have been boss rule. When
Roosevelts machine does, 1t, that is
the emancipation of the people
from machine government.
Here in Pennsylvania the same sort
of thing has been going on without
blush or hindrance on the part of
those who have been urging the direct
primary as the only salvation from the
alleged evils of "bossism." u is a
matter of common knowledge that
both the Democratic and Progressive
parties openly defied the primary law
in the outset this year and now that
the voters have declared a plague on
both their houses the bosses" of these
parties are engaged in open intrigue
for the purpose of Saving their faces"
in a fusion arrangement contrary to
every principle of the direct primary.
AS in New York, according to the
Sun, which shines for all. the ma
chine" further declares that among all
who might effectively translate into
action it's ambitions there are indi-
viduals of peculiar availability, and
these 1t names, urging all men to unite
in their behalf at the polls.
In brief, the direct primary. the law
that was to rid the country of de-
testable bosses and machines, is torn
up and used as a doormat by the very
same political marplots who demanded
its enactment as panacea for all the
ills of the people.

WAR AND NEWSPAPERS

"A big European war will be fine
thing for the newspapers" said the
Philadelphia manager of large cleo
trical company, says a writer In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
"In what way" | inquired
Help you to sell papers" was his
reply.
Alas! Others may see your oint-
ment, but you alone can observe the
fly swimming around in 1t. The ink
Is scarcely dry upon the printed testi-
mony of one newspaper manager to
the effect that the Spanish American
War had cost his publication tidy
hree-quarters of a million net.
THE editor of the London Post told
me his paper had twenty correspond
ents in the Boer war. and cable rates
were then S1.20 a word from Cape
Town. That African conquest was the
biggest menace to newspaper divi-
dends which London has experienced
in a generation.
II saw dispatches come from Ma
nila during our insurrection there
which cost $4,000 a column. That
included the price paid the special
correspondent for sending one article.

through the Panama Canal. Yet with
in few weeks the clause of the Pan
anna Canal act exempting American
coastwise shipping from tolls has been
repealed by the Democratic Admins
tration.
Yet another plank calls attention to
the fact that the Democratic party
demand for a return to the rule OF
the people has now become the ac-
cepted doctrine of a large majority
of the electors" But Pennsylvanians
have not forgotten that President VIII
son selected the candidates of the
Democratic party in this State for
United States Senator and Governor.
This is the rule of the people"
flouted by the candidate of the Bal
timore convention and those who
modestly claim to have been his chief
boomers.
THE law pertaining to the civil
service should he honestly and rigidly
enforced to the end that merit and
ability should be the standard OF ap-
pointment and promotion rather than
service rendered to a political party
is the substance of another plank in
this remarkable platform. Yet Penn
sylvania has seen one after another
of the most competent and efficient
men in the employ of the government
dismissed and those without any expe-
rience whatever appointed to their
places solely and only for Service rem
20 roIItiCaI
There is much more in this party
declaration of principles of the same
sort, but Notwithstanding it says our
pledges are made to be kept when in
office as well as to be relied upon
during the campaign"
We submit that the people of the
United States will judge the Demo-
cratic party upon its broken pledges
and its utter failure to make good.

A TREE-PLANTING DAY

~ NE of the most hopeful signs
of the growing interest in tree
- planting in this city is the an
nouncement of the Department
of Parks that several thousand trees
will be set out, in the parks of Har-
risburg this Fall. This is a most wise
conclusion, inasmuch as the storms
and the years and the indiscriminate
damage to existing trees have made
necessary some general movement to
replace those that have been destroyed
or damaged beyond repair.
1t would be a good thing for the
school authorities and the Civic Club
and the Municipal League and the
Chamber of Commerce and all the I'm
provement associations of the city to
combine on some general tree-planting
program for this Fall.
If we had a Shade Tree Commission,
as we should have had before now
such body would be the proper source
of inspiration and help in a move
ment like the one here suggested. But,
commission or no commission, we be-
lieve that the people of Harrisburg
are sufficiently responsive to the need
now so apparent since the destruction
in the River Front parks that they
will rally to movement of this kind
Some expert advice on the kind of
trees that should be planted in this city
for permanent growth ought to be OBJ
tanned so that in the general nIantinp
in the Fall we shall not have hodge,
podge planting of everything without
much regard to either size or quality
We can think of no better way to
encourage the interest of the boys and
girls of the city in forestry than
through some such plan as is pro-
posed.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 2
A PROPER CONCLUSION

"HERE will he universal approval
of the practical agreement of
i the City Council to reconsider
its recent action in the matter
of the placing of a large water main
In the River Front Park. 1t will be
recalled that the proposition to place
the main in the park was suggested
by Commissioner Bowman, head of
the Department of Public Safety on
the ground of economy, but Mr.. Bow
man made it clear in his brief discus
sion of the subject at the weekly meet
ing yesterday that his only thought in
suggesting the placing of the main in
the park instead of the street was
the saving of expense. He had no
other motive and had only recon-
monded the park strip instead of the
street on the score of economy. He
declared that he was entirely satisfied
with any action Council might take
with a view to changing the method of
construction.
Mayor Royal introduced the resolu-
ton to reconsider the previous action,
and stated that he was convinced,
upon viewing the great destruction in
the River Park after the recent storm,
that it would be a serious mistake to
further endanger the trees by digging
a deep trench for the installation of
the water main.
There has been so much opposition
to the plan of placing the main in the
park that City Council has shown a
proper appreciation of public opinion
in determining to reconsider its for
mer action.

THAT BALTIMORE PLATFORM

THERE was adopted at Baltimore
on the second of July, 1912, by
= the Democratic national conven-
ton an alleged declaration of
principles. and this party pronounce
ment is of special interest at this time
to students of political history and
present-day conditions. 1t is a pecu-
liar document, especially in view of
the things that have transpred dur
ing the last two years.
One plank, for instance, pledges the
candidate of that convention to a sin
gle Presidential term and favors the
adoption of an amendment to the Con-
stltution making the President of the
United States ineligible for re-elec-
ton. But now comes a more or less
authoritative statement from Wash
ington that Woodrow Wilson. the can
didate of the Baltimore convention,
will go before the people in 1916 for
q second term.
Another plank denounces "the
pronigate waste of money wrung from
the people by taxation through the
lavish appropriations of recent Re-
publican Congresses, which have kept
taxes high and reduced the purchas-
ing power of the peoples toll" This
came plank demands "a return to that
simplicity and economy which befits
a Democratic government and a re-
duction in the number of useless Of
fees. the salaries of which drain the
substance of the people" But in
spite of this high-sounding platform
declaration the Democratic Congress
and the Administration at Washing
ton have been guilty of the most
profigate expenditure of money in the
history of the country and have re-
stored and created anew offices which
were abolished by the last Republican
administration in order that Demo-
cratic bosses might have jobs for their
clamoring supporters in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere.
Still another plank favors the ex-
emption from tolls OF American ships
engaged in eoastwiso trade passing

WAR STYLES

-F little war in the Balkans brought
us the Bulgarian hat and sash,
what will be the effect on fashions
of the conflict now going on in
Europe?
We may expect to see girls with
British sympathies logged out in
Tommy Atkins caps or Scottish plaids.
No doubt the Russian bonnet will
mark the lady with leanings toward
the Czar, while her French ally may
wear red fez. 1t is less easy to
design something for the German
maid. We can hardly think of her in
war helmet; but then the masculine
mind never would have suspected the
lengths to which feminine, fashions
would go in the way of slit skirts and
transparent gowns, so the helmet is
not impossible.

JUST TRIBUTE TO LABOR LEADER
tEditor and Publisher. ]

In honoring its former president,
James NJ. Lynch, with laudatory
speeches and with the very practical
gift of $4,000 in cash, the Inter
national Typographical Union honored
itself in its recent convention at Provi-
dence, r. 1.
We need more such labor leaders as
James NJ. Lynch, who are for peace
rather than for war between capital
and labor; who do not tolerate extor-
tionate demands by either side of a
labor controversy; who recognize the
splendid manhood and the rights of
the great body of men upon whose
skilled hands and brains capital must
depend; who fight at all times for the
dignity and proper reward of labor
and oppose the loud-voiced trouble
making agitators who merely seek per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT and notoriety in
labor's name without true labor's sym
pathy or sanction. The great Empire
State saw Mr.. Lynch's value and
claimed his services for time; but it
is certain that when those services
have ended he will again be found in
the ranks and doing yeomans work
for the benefit of millions
The German Socialists have quit
shouting against war and are falling
over themselves to get into the army.
Theories are all right on print paper
