"BRUMBAUGH AMONG HOME FOLKS

tFrom the Philadelphia Inquiber.l
The visit of Martin G. Brumbaugh to
the home folks" of Huntingdon county
was in the nature of a triumph. They
flocked about him, did these good peo-
pie of Huntingdon. who have known
him so well; they shook his hand. and
they listened to his words and believed
in what he told them.
1t is great thing, indeed, when the
grown man, absent for years on the
duties of life. can return to the old
neighborhood of boyhood and of early
manhood and find that he is not for
gotten. 1t speaks volumes for the solid
worth Of Of such l,Gt I'M man. ,s no+ or1v "at
home in Huntington, he is welcome in
many other counties, for he is known
and respected for what he has accom-
plshed. That his candidacy must ap-
peal to the great majority of the citi-
zens of Pennsylvania we cannot doubt,
for his record is his platform, and 1t Is
a record which assures and insures
sane. safe, progressive administration
devoted solely to the welfare and the
best interests of the State and of Its
people.
Huntington honored itself in honor
ing its son, the perfect example of a
man. self-made in every sense of the
word Dr. BIrumbaugh i the type of #
citizen who has put his bone and sinew
into the building up not only of the
State of Pennsylvania but OF the nation.
He is no dreamer of strange dreams, no
weaver of vague theories, no million
aire aspirant hunting for favor with a
dark lantern and an open money bar
rel. His candidacy for Governor springs
from q genuine demand of those who
have known and believed in him and his
nomination came from the outpouring
of the Republican citizenship at the
polls. He brings into the campaign the
promise of hard service for the people
In the Executive Mansion.
The good people of Huntingdon coun-
ty have shown that they put trust in
him We believe that the same faith
will be very generally evinced at the
election. For DR.. Brumbaugh is can
didate who must inevitably grow in the
good opinion of Pennsylvania flowing

HERHAPS no feature OF Dr. Mar
- tin @. Brumbaugh's opening
= speech in what promises to be
the most popular campaign any
candidate for Governor IN this State
ever made is more striking than his
sane and reasonable conclusions re-
garding road building. He believes
that, next to good schools. good roads
are the peoples necessities. He has
definite notions as man familiar
with the needs of the country districts
concerning the character of roads
Pennsylvania must have. In his judg-
ment it is out of the question for the
people to wait a generation for the
building of the paved and macadam-
ized highways; that we must be salts
fed for the present with two or three
main trunk lines and devote ourselves
to the making of fine dirt roads which
will touch the farming communities
everywhere for at least nine months
of the year
This view of the situation is in har-
mony with a private opinion expressed
by no less a person than ex-senator
William Finn, who has been one of
the most strenuous opponents of the
present State Highway Department.
But the people are fast learning
that Highway Commissioner Bigelow
is creating a system of roads which
are far superior to the highways de-
scribed by his opponents as rotten
and intolerable. AS a matter of fact,
Pennsylvania has many fine roads, and
much of the criticism of the present
department has come from political
high binders who seek in this way to
further their own political ends.
DIR. Brumbaugh is not in this class.
He recognizes the good that has been
accomplished in the betterment of
the roads, and, like all other loyal
Pennsylvanians, is looking ahead to
the day when the people shall have
"as large a measure of relief as the
resources of the Commonwealth will
permit" In his speech to the home
folks at Huntingdon he especially re-
ferred to the fact that it is unreason-
able to expect that we shall have good
roads unless they are maintained by
a system of close supervision and a
force of repairmen who will con-
stantly correct defects and repair
damages.

RAISING FARES

Vt is announced that the railroad
companies of this district are plan
i ming to raise fares, if the Public
Service Commission will agree, in
order that they may increase their
receipts from the passenger depart
ment.
Doubtless the companies do need
more money, but an advance in pas
senger rates will hardly be the an
swer. 1t has been the experience of
street car companies, and of many
railroad companies. too that the lower
the rate and the more liberal the
transfer and excursion privileges the
greater the earnings. If the railroad
companies desire to cut down the size
of their trains we can think of no
better way than to advance passenger
fares. This may not apply, however,
to the man or woman travelling for
business reasons. They must go, but
it is to be expected that they, too, will
curtail as much as possible, unless it
is the purpose of the railroad man.
agements to leave the mileage books
unaffected by the proposed raise.
Passenger rates are about as high
now as the public can we'll stand.
The popularity of low rate excursions
would seem to indicate that the way
to increase passenger receipts is to
lower rather than to raise fares.

THIS sTATE.s WELFARE WORK

- LSEWHERE in the Telegraph
this evening will be found some
IL extremely interesting matter re-
garding the constructive welfare
work of Pennsylvania under Repub-
lican administration. Notwithstanding
the constant railing of the little men
now running the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania about the failure of the
Republican party to take care of the
people. these facts stand out con-
spicuously as a complete refutation
of empty charges.
Indeed. this State is leader in con-
servation along many lines and no.
where in the country has there been
so much attention given to the i'm
provement of our agricultural re-
sources. Yet we are constantly told
by these little men for their own
political purposes that the State has
done little for the farmer and the
working people.
Perhaps nothing more important is
now under way than the plan of the
Department of Labor and Industry to
secure a uniform system of reports
throughout the country on accidents
in order that there may be reliable
statistics on this subject.

If we were an autocrat of Jour

no greater service than to see to it.

every man, woman and child in the

has been drastic and leading commits
sion houses reported last night that

weak holders in wheat and oats have

will clean up the last Of the liquidation
They believe that with any increase
in the buying of all grains there will
be sharp reaction.
Corn specialists said that most Of
the selling was by shorts. the local
crowd being bearish. 1T was said that
the leading shorts in September have
covered about all their line. which was
an immense one, buying having been
on for six weeks.

week and especially with the amount
of liquidation of last three sessions,
