A Creek Loose in Troy

TN Francis Skunk Brown Governor Brum-
i baugh has invited the brain of the Wares
into his official household.
The appointment is slap in the face for
every independent Republican in Pennsyl-
vania
Mr.. Brown notorlously has been the can
niest of the politicians behind the screen, ad-
wiser extraordinary to one Of the powerful
factions which time and again have robbed,
despolled and pillaged this municipality.
He is apt in subtle plans, daring in the
midnight council, gladiator de luxe for one
half OF the machine, skilled in the devices of
political warfare astute in his profession,
clever, persistent, personally charming, men
tally capable of filling any office and abso-
1utely without the political confidence of the
class who stand for the things which the
Governor espouses and who agree with him
In his conception of the purpose and mean
ing of government.
It is a bad appointment, demoralizing
appointment, an appointment which scars at
the beginning the record Of Doctor Brum-
baugh. That 1t is blow to the Penrose fac
ton does not mitigate It's undesrabilty.
Philadelphia will understand better what
the Governors choice means when the may
crafty campaign begins.
There is Greek loose in Troy.

Buy-in-P Philadelphia

RHADE-IN-P N-PHILADELPHIA is a good
4F1 slogan; Buy-in- Philadelphia is a better
one. Boston, for instance having discovered
that much of the trade of Vermont New
Hampshire and Maine is diverted to New
York, proposes to raise a fund of $4,000
wherewith to wage an active publicity cam
paign in the three States named ut
should result" says Mayor Curley, "n fully
S1,000,00O being brought into Boston from
outside States"
But what of Philadelphia, home of many of
the worlds greatest Industries, the great
manufacturing centre of the Union, the city
of cities for cheap and economical buying?
Her light is hid under n busheI How
many people know that more carpets are
made here than in all the other cities of the
United States put together2 Scores and
scores of articles manufactured in Phila-
delphia are distributed generally from other
centres, although here they can be purchased
to the best advantage People who know,
shop in Philadelphia now, but there are
millions Of people who are absolutely igno-
rant of the facilities here afforded.
Let US have done with excessive modesty
and put punch behind the products OF our
skin. We must let the world know what we
are doing. Philadelphia needs publicity
plenty OF 1t, and that is what Philadelphia
IS going to get II the committees which have
been at work on the program are not check

wealth pier has been built, at a cost of
S2 900, 900, to accommodate the largest fishing
industry in the country and excepting
Grlmsby, England, the largest in the world.
In 1913 the fish brought to Boston, and from
there distributed over the country, weighed
166OOO,OOO pounds, worth $4,000 The piers
of the future are to be built on the north
side of the harbor, where the board has
available for early reclamation 600 acres of
land. Meanwhile the board has building the

$50 feet wide, with 95 feet of water at low

Even the liners that put into New York will
have to come to Boston for repairs that they
may require this side
In two years this port improvement has
increased the shipping in Boston harbor by
757,1S9 tons-over per cent The foreign
trade alone has gained by 39,644729. In 1913
1t amounted to $26O.4S2,O97. The transatlantic
passenger service has increased over 43 per
cent. Last year 1888, OOS persons took left
ship in Boston. Last year. also, the number
of ship lines operating in Boston rose to A,
a gain of eight new lines in two years. In
1914 90 steamship lines have been in service
in the port, SO of them in foreign traffic.
This makes Boston the second port in
North and South America, and the fifth port
in the world. Only London, New York. Ham
burg and Rotterdam surpass 1.-THE latter by
only 100000 tons. Bigger ships and faster
visit Boston now. Boston is a days sail
nearer to Europe. And all because Boston
decided on a port Improvement that is only
well begun.

Hear 1t Boom!

DRoSPERITY is on the way, and you can
i hear its booming. The latest reverber-
ations come from the steel trade and the
railroads. On Monday morning the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company started another open
hearth furnace at Steelton, and put its rail
mill and several other departments on a
24-hour schedule, giving work to 1000 ad-
ditonal men. The Pennsylvania Railroad
begins to build new $3.50. 900 bridge at FIar-
risburg, and the United States Steel Corpo-
ration has arranged to start the construc-
tlon OF 100000 benzol plant at sharon
within three weeks.
All this means that men who have long
been idle win get a pay envelope on Sat
urday night, and that children who have
been hungry win feel the comfortable glow
Of full stomaehs, and tired wives will give a
sigh OF relief as they go 10 sleep at night
without worry about where the food for
the morrow is to come from. This is the
kind OF prosperity which is worth while,
the kind that gets down to the great mass
of citizens and manifests itself on the dinner
table.

Washington, Aug. Z. - Armed fac

more opportunity to say whether they
are ready to make an honest effort
among themselves to compose their
differences.
A message expressing the concert
ed demand of North and South Amer
lea that there shall be pe;,ce and
restoration of constitutional govern
ment, addressed to all the Mexican
political and military leaders, prob
ably will be dispatched within a few
days as one of the first results of a
conference at the state department,
In which the six ranking diplomats
OF the Pan-American legation corps
participated with Secretary Lansing
at the invitation of President Wilson.
While the appeal will be made to
all the Mexican leaders, it will be in
tended especially for General Carran-
"a and his followers, who are opposed
to another peace convention.
