GRIEsT ON BRUNfBAUGH

There is no more accurate observ-
er of political tread than Congress
man w. w. Griest. of Lancaster. This
is his opinion OF DR.. Brumbaugh:
1'Doctor Brumbaugh will be Pennsyl-
vania's next governor. No better man
can be nominated by the party. He
will sweep Lancaster county both In
the primary and in the election. He
will appeal to the business man, the
farmer. the manufacturer and the
workingman His platform is a docu-
ment that any man might be proud Of
He has left nothing unsaid on State
issues. and his views will be accepted
throughout Pennsylvania. Doctor
Brumbaugh will make the State an
IDEAL governor. and in the event of his
election, which believe is assured
he will enter upon his office unham-
pered and prepared to carry out every
pledge. He will prove to be as great
a governor as he has been an educa-
tor. His handling of the school ques-
tion has stamped him as great ad-
ministrator and has fitted him for the
higher honor he now seeks"

GROWTH OF THE CITY

-HE growth OF the city northward
to Rockville is inevitable and
the Riverside people who are
proposing that all that territory
lying between Division street and the
Rockville bridge on one hand and the
river and the railroad on the other be
annexed to Harrisburg are moving in
the right direction. The traction COM
pany has recognized the rapid growth
of this section by extending its lines, to
Rockville and real estate is very active
throughout the district.
Harrisburg is. for the most part. a
closely built up city and where land is
still vacant the prices are SO high that
building is often discouraged. With
the territory north Of Division street
a part of the city there would be no
more unimproved property in the West
End than was the case when the Tenth
ward came in, comprising as it did all
of the district between Maclay and
Division streets. The rapidity with
which this ward has been improved
Under city rule has been marked, an6

Democratic, organs are making an
effort to have the impression prevail
that the enrolment has resulted In q
great Increase of Democratic voters.
1t would be strange If Democrats did
not qualify at this time. with the Bit

progress. the Ryanites getting out
their friends and the McCormickites
just as busy trying to make a showing
with theirs. Yet 1t is at once apparent
that the increase of Democrats on the
enrolment lists is as nothing COM
pared with those who have announced
their intention of voting the Repub-
lican ticket at the primaries This is
all the more remarkable because of
the fact that neither Senator Penrose
nor Mr.. Dimmick, the only two con-
testants on the Republican side, made
any serious attempt to follow the ex-
ample of Ryan and Mccormick in
lining up voters.
Both the Democrats and Mr.. Pin
chot may as we'll understand that
their strength this year will not be
augmented by desertions from the
Republican ranks. On the other hand,
there is every evidence of the Pro-
gressive party going rapidly to pieces,
and the natural drift is back to the
Republican fold. The Democrats are
living on false hopes if they are basing
their campaign on the thought of
drawing many votes from either the
Progressives or the Republicans, and
from far off Dakota Pinchots address
sounds much like wall of despair.

Trade and business are filing their
answer to President Wilson. From one
end of the land to the other CONNER
cial bodies are rising in protest against
any more aenemic-brained and re-
strictive legislation.
No demand has come from any
where for more trade-killing laws ex-
cept from the mouths of cheap dema-
gogues who expect to make votes by
it. On the contrary, there is in all
parts OF the country desire for in
dustrial peace. From every section
comes a cry for financial repose
AS vote-getting game, the assaults
on business should be played out. Such
assaults no longer appeal to the labor
er, tens of thousands of whom are
idle on account of them.
There is no crime committed by
business or In the name of business
, that cannot be punished In existing
courts under existing law. If the
government knows of any guilt let 1t
send the guilty to jail, but to do that
1t Is not necessary to harry the whole
country with elaborate and foolish
Legislation.
The trades bodies that are fighting
these Five Brothers" bills have be-
hind them the sanity and reason of the
country.

DECENT SIDEWALKS

@ITY COMMISSIONER LYNCH is
on the right line in an ordinance
~ which was introduced this week
providing for some uniformity
IN the construction of sidewalks in this
city. For years the. property owner
was permitted to do pretty much as he
pleased in this matter and 1t is about
time decent regulation should be
provided. In these days of granolithic
sidewalks It would seem to be unneces-
sary TO construct brick walks. which
are neither comfortable nor safe.
tnasmuch as they are nuisance in
wet weather and dangerous in the
frosty season.
4 There has been for years an utter
disregard of ordinary good citizenship
in some sections of the city with re-
spect to sidewalk facilities and it is not
fair that those who provide proper
walks should be compelled to tramp
through mud and slush along the
property frontage of indifferent or
careless owners.

JUDGE KUNKETs CANDIDACY

-HAT Judge George Kunkel is an
important factor to be reckoned
= with in the pending contest for
the Supreme Court judgeship
vacancy to be filed at the Fall cleo
tions, is becoming more and more ap-
parent. While Judge Kunkel an
nounced his candidacy later by some
weeks than several others who are
seeking nomination, the readiness with
which his petitions have been signed
by men of all parties in large num-
| Der of counties indicates that his
strength is Statewide.
This is not surprising in view of the
prominence Judge Kunkel attained In
the recent Capitol trials. Faced by the
brightest criminal lawyers in the State,
sharply opposed at every turn by keen
minds of the legal profession and fully
realizing that the eyes of the whole
State were on Harrisburg, Judge Kun
kef so conducted the suits that not
only were the verdlcts in each of the
cases sustained by the Supreme Court,
but every one of his numerous rulings
on complex points of law were up
held. .aa5.. $3.50.
The results of these now famous
cases gave Judge Kunkel high prestige
among lawyers and the laity alike, and
reputation for legal ability and per-
sonal integrity second to none in Penn
sylvana It is not surprising then
that his candidacy has met ready and
widespread attention.

USPENSION of Judgment with
respect to President wilson's
~ foreign policy has ceased to'be
virtue in the United States Sem
ate. His attitude toward the other
nations Of the world is one that has
brought the ULited States into con-
tempt, and American citizens every
where are crying out against the
weakness that has characterized the
present administration in its foreign
diplomacy. Just now the feeling OF
resentment toward the administration
throughout this country centers in
the position of the President and those
who support him in the matter OF the
Panama Canal tolls.
But this is not all Of 1t. His
''watchful waiting" policy regarding
Mexico, his breaking down of wise
peoples of the Philippines, his send
ing of weak men to represent the
United States in the foreign capitals
and his apparent indifference to the
unfortunate spread of a contemptuous
sentiment among foreigners respect
ing this Republic, are the last straws
which have broken the silence that
has been maintained for sever II
months out of consideration for a
new administration which had not yet
developed it's policies.
Manifestly, however, the members
of the United States Senate who are
familiar with the conditions at home
and abroad have reached the con-
clusion that the time has come to
speak the truth about the Wilson ad-
ministration, whether the present oc-
cupant of the White House likes it or
not.

are to-day well built thoroughfares,
having all of the improvements Of the
older sections Of town.
BY the very nature of things Har-
risburg cannot grow a great deal In
population except by annexation. The
bigger the city the more effective car
be made the central government and
the more the people will receive FOL
their taxes. Therefore. 1t Is hard to
understand why any of the small
towns adjoining Harrisburg persist In
their own necessarily very limited
governmental benefits and regulations
1t would seem the part of wisdom to
do what the people of the Tenth ward
and the Thirteenth have done-come

the following advantages IL 1t becomes

could do the same for Riverside, as II
has for the Thirteenth ward in the

First-A new fire house. fire COM
pany, engine and equipment.
Second-Mere policemen and bet
ter service.
Third-Sewers
Fourth-A new school building

Fifth--Extend the gas mains

walks.
Ninth-Better supervision over

crossings.
Tenth-A department of health,
Observation-Disclosures nurses, United
Charities, etc.
Tweifth-A Chamber of Com
merce.

children attending the high school.
Fourteenth-More arc lights In
