EDITORIAL COMMENT

1t is accepted at Washington and
apparently throughout the country,
that the extravagances of to-day mark
the possible minimum of government
tai cost. It is assumed that no bu-
reau, no department, no expert. no
clerk can be dispensed with, and that
the sole solution of the problem is the
collection of more taxes from the peo-
pie of this country.-New York Sun.
The present tariff should be abro-
gated until further notice, and a gen
eral and special increase of 25 or so
per cent. decreed. American senti-
ment will not countenance an increase
in domestic taxes with no increase in
tariff rates. II there must be an in
crease, 1t must be general. Away with
free wool and reduced sugar duties.
which American refiners have already
absorbed for their own gain. The
levy on raw wool should be at once
restored. The sugar industry should
be rehabilitated while there is vet
time.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

delphia, that there is no sound reason
for the advance in the price of -four.
Mr. Kolb has Just returned from
Europe. He advised me that the coun-
tries Will not be required to call upon
us for food supplies for months to
come.
He said, further, that this country
is better prepared to export wheat
than ever before, with the wheat crop
just harvested being larger by more
than 100000 bushels than that of
last year. Mr. Kolb asserted that 1t is
nothing short of a crime to raise the
price of -four now, that elevators are
loaded with grain and that much of it
will not be shipped abroad for long
time to come.
He attributes the rise in wheat to
speculation by brokers. Mr.. Kolb said
that with the stocks of flour now in
sight there should have been no in
crease in the price for at least two
months"
Bitter complaints against the up
lift in prices come from my home city
of Philadelphia" said Representative
Donohoe. THE people there are feel
ing the situation keenly."
The Moore resolution, which is
typical of the group, recites that
crops are so abundant that they are
Cutting the market owing to the in
ability of exporters to get their prod
ucts across the sea and that despite
this prices are advancing to ruinous
figures.

oLD-FAsH1oNED FLOWERS

THERE is a residence along the
river road that attracts the ad-
i miration of all who pass that
way. 1t is no more beautiful
than many of its neighbors, nor are
its grounds more spacious. It's charm
lies largely in a wealth of old-fash-
ioned flowers that wave and beckon
on the air for a great distance round
about. 1t leaves a memory that lin
gers long after the architectural beau
ties of more imposing houses are for
gotten.
And this gives rise to the question
why do we not have more of these
old fashioned summer ANIMALS in our
public parks? They are easy to grow
and cheap to plant. A dimes worth
of seed sown in the springtime yields
wealth of beauty in midsummer and
autumn. They require little attention
boomers.
Lord Bacon it was who said that
one might tell pretty we'll the month
of the year by a glance around any
we'll ordered garden. He wrote: II
do hold it in the royal ordering OF
gardens, that there ought to be gar
dens for all months in the year, in
which severally, things of beauty may
be then in season"
Our park authorities have done
pretty we'll in this respect, insofar
as shrubbery and other perennials
are concerned, but we are woefully
lacking in old-fashioned ANIMALS.

CONGRESSMAN SUSPECTS
SPECULATION IN HIGH PRICES

Representative J. Hampton Moore,
of Philadelphia, has introduced in
Congress a resolution calling upon the
talkative head of the Department of
Commerce to report upon the specu-
lative increase in the cost of the neces-
saries of life. Commenting on the
situation Representative Moore said:
THE present uplift in prices is due
to the manipulation of Spectators
Undoubtedly the Secretaries of Agri-
culture and Commerce have given
some consideration to question that
so vitally affects the material comfort
of the people of the United States.
Something should be done to relieve
this situation.

fuse. The orchard is calling him. And

State Treasurer Berry was also
a speaker at Boiling Springs to-day.
Candidate Mccormick is up with

The Mercer county Democratic

Mccormick idea of reorgan-

scores of others equally able and
efficient. That is what his speeches
sound like.

WHEN THE SERIES BEGINS
by Wing Dinger

by Wing Dinger
What has become of all those things
We read so much about:
They seem to have been lost some
where
Fer since the war broke out.
For instance. night and day folks
talked
About the baseball team.
And doped out how 'twould land the
rag,
But now they cease to dream.
And there's the scrap we almost had
In Mexico. but now
That country is forgotten for
The European row.
Sir Thomas Upton and his yacht,
And other things galore,
That furnished news few weeks back
Give way to news of war
But one things certain, war news will
Be showed in a back seat
When the worlds series is begun
And pennant winners meet

DON'T WORRY

Don't worry though above your head
The threatening storm clou meet.
The rainbow as of yore shall spread
It's sign of promise sweet.
The flowers fed when winter gray
Proclaimed again his cruel sway,
Yet early blossoms smile and say,
Don't worry"
Don't worry, though the noontide
fin.
Your footsteps faltering,
The mornt glad hopes left far be-
hind
4he day its joy shall bring.
When sunsets radiant curtains fall,
Sleeps angel, ready at the call
'Of night shall whisper low to all,
Don't worry"
Don't worry though with little good
Your eager quest seem fraught,
He that has striven as he could
Has striven as he ought
Ask not how destiny was planned,
The little that we understand
Is eloquent with the command,
Don't worry"

~ RESIDENT WILSON and DR..
- Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Re-
publican candidate for governor
of Pennsylvania, are sitting IN
the shadow of the greatest bereave-
ment that can come to any man. Their
sorrow has been respected generally
by men and newspapers of all parties.
Partisan rancor and criticism of a po-
litical nature have largely disappear
ed. Sympathy has been rendered from
political friend and foe alike. All bar
riers of party have broken down and
respect has been shown these two dis
tinguished men on every hand.
But there has been one exception.
Not satisfied to follow the example of
its Republican contemporaries who
ceased Immediately on the death of
Mrs. Wilson all criticism of the Pres
ident's official acts, a newspaper in
this city. whose owner is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, filled
an editorial on this lamentable event
with abuse of the men and newspapers
which had honestly differed with the
Presidents policies. 1t was less con-
siderate of the President than were his
alleged opponents. But how deeply
and sincerely concerned was the own
er of the newspaper in question was
shown in a continuation of his own
political activities without an hours
cessation.
Nor has he shown any sympathy for
baugh who has been spending the
period of immediate bereavement far
from the disturbance of political
events and out of reach of the petty
batting of the little men who are
more concerned about their personal
ambitions than they are over the sor-
rows and griefs and bereavements of
their fellowmen. Mr.. Mccormick has
been demanding in his newspaper with
petulent frequency that Dr. Brum-
baugh, sitting in the loneliness of his
great loss, shall make answer to the
raucous insistence for some kind of a
declaration on what he stands for, un-
mindful of the fact that months ago
in the primary campaign the dis
tinguished Republican candidate-who
will be the next Governor of Pennsvl-
vania in spite of the dealing by Presi-
dent Wilson's own handpicked candi-
date with the enemies of the admins
tration-made a manly declaration of
his principles which was so satisfac-
tory to the people of Pennsylvania
that there is no doubt in the mind
of the average person about the out
come of the gubernatorial race in
Pennsylvania this year.

1 \ more closely studied by mteih-
gent students of world move
ments, it becomes more apparent that
the creation of a merchant marine
for the United States is absolutely
necessary for the future prosperity OF
this nation. Discussing the changes
which are inevitable in the markets

To a certain extent the condi;
tions to-day offer to the Onlteu

that came to England during tne

;,c r tbara iS he
ing held a conference to consider
ways and means for increasing the
revenues of the government to make
up the deficiency in receipts caused
by the cuts in customs and revenue
resulting from the European war.
This probably means increased taxes
for the people of the United States
as their contribution to the war on
the other side of the ocean.
These conditions have forced our
statesmen to consider without delay
some means for increasing the ship
ping of this country and the facilities
for transporting our commerce and
manufactures to the open markets of
the world. Our flag should. be seen
in every port. and it is almost certain
that the present conflict in Europe
will result in an entire change of the
situation respecting the shipping in
terests of the United States.
Says the Philadelphia Public Led
ger: This is no time for molly
coddles and least of all a period
when Americanism should hesitate to
vindicate it's rights and place in the
world. We have no sympathy with
timid publicists who tremble lest the
acquisition of foreign ships by Amer
leans would involve us in interna-
tional entanglements. The United
States is not prepared to abandon its
historic principles and sacrifice its
prosperity for such a bogy."

GOING DOWN

THE sales of beer in the United
States for January, February,
i March, April, May and June of
1914 have in every case been
less in volume than for the corre-
spending months of 1913.
The decrease in January was 267, 500
barrels, and in June, which shows the
smallest decrease, the figures were
1890 barrels. The net decrease for
the first six months of 1914 over the
same months for 1913 was 827,494
barrels, or approximately 410,S37, 900
drinks.
This may or may not be significant
in view of the rapid increase of dry
territory and the oft-repeated asser-
ton that prohibition does not pro-
hibit."

Columbia Independent Dem.) The
President has signed the bill restoring
the Ninth revenue district, and now
Collector Kirkendall will go back to
Scranton before the dog DAYS end and
a country banker named Harris. from
McConnellsburg, Fulton county, will
be named for the Lancaster district
He is to get the plum because he lives
in a strong Democratic county and it
polls about as many Democratic votes
as does Columbia borough. 1t gave
Wilson 1850 votes. Is less than It
gave Bryan in 1908.
From the above it will be seen that
The Independent was about right in
Its representation. Lancaster falls
behind but one county in the Ninth
district in its Democratic vote and
Fulton is a tail-ender. However. it
will be the proper thing to give the
plum to Fulton county on account of
its immense Democratic vote and to
maintain the equilibrium of things as
they have been all over the State.
Fulton county backed by Harris as
collector may poll for the state ticket
this fall about $50 votes, and that will
be splendid, not to say wonderful.
