Governor Brumbaugh has a vivid
recollection of the passing of the Louis
lana lottery, the famous or infamous
gambling institution which sent out
its tentacles to every part of the
United States and consumed the earn
ings of thousands of men, women and
children. The Governor was engaged
in educational work in Louisiana when
the fight was on in the Legislature for
further lease of the lottery company.
It was a fight to the death and the
fact that the lottery people offered
the State more money for a renewal OF
the concession than the total of all the
revenues of Louisiana at that time
caused many of the prominent Demo
cratic leaders to line up with the oc-
topus. Governor Nichols, Confed-
crate veteran, fought the bill tooth
and nail. When the measure had
been forced through the Legislature by
the most corrupt means ever known
in a legislative body. the Governor
sent a veto in which he declared
Having given my left hand for a
cause which / still believe to be just
I should be ashamed to let it know
what my right hand had done were il
to sign this iniquitous measure"
EX-Congressman Don Caffery. one
of the Democratic leaders aligned
with the lottery crowd, upon hearing
the veto message declared:
"MyGod, men, we can't stand against
a man who talks like that" Caffery
then suggested a referendum as a
means of breaking the deadlock in the
Legislature and the result of the spe-
cial election was the defeat of the pro-
posed concession by over 10000 ma
jority and the end of the lottery.
During the deadlock on the lottery
| bill Governor Brumbaugh was invited
to address the Legislature as a neutral
on behalf of the teachers, the inmates
of the charitable institutions and the
prisoners, all appropriations having
been held up by the lottery in
| fiuence until the lottery bill had
been disposed Of His address was
one of the big incidents of the great
! fight.

TUSKEGEE'S MAKER
New York Sun. 4

DIR. Booker T. Washington work
among the members of his race was
based on the belief thatN the negro
would win social and political advance
ment only after he had achieved eco
nomiC independence and stability. He
held that time was better spent in
demonstrating the capacity of the
black man in those callings that are
now open to him than in seeking op-
portunities in fields where every factor
was opposed to him.
This policy brought DIR. Washington
into conflict with many other leaders
of the negroes, but he maintained it
from the beginning of his work at
Tuskegee. He was not less concerned
With the progress of the blacks in the
United States than were those with
whom he could not agree as to meth
ods; their dispute was over the means
to be used, not the end to be sought.
His belief was supported by the intelli-
gent judgment of thousands of citizens
who saw in Tuskegee a possible in
strument for the solution of a pressing
problem.
Did the schools success depend on
DR.. Washington's energy and per-
Sonality, or was he able to install an
organization competent to continue it
Such questions will be answered in the
not remote future; it is to be hoped
that the institution in which he labored
for more than a generation possesses
the apparatus and personnel necessary
to its continuance and growth as a
memorial to this sensible and interest
ing educator.

Another modern fairy tale-except
that it is true-is the overnight es-
calade to fame of ]. Leonard Rep
logic. When the flood razed the
homes and took the lives of thousands
of Johnstown citizens he was a little
lad, and he was carried for helpless
miles upon the raging current, cling
ing to the roof of his home Two
members of his family were drowned.
He had to leave school and so to
work all the time, instead of merely
earning what he could outside of the
school period. He walked into the
office of the Cambria Steel Company
at Johnstown, said he must have a
job, and have it at once. and was ap-
pointed water-boy at FIVE dollars a
week.
Then he rose, rung by rung, on the
ladder of promotion, till he became
vice-president. Amazing reversals
are these that time occasionally
brings. Resigning the vice. e-presidency
of the company he had entered in the
humblest capacity, he has now, at 3S
years of age, formed a syndicate and
bought 100000 shares of the stock OF
the corporation for price said to be
SIS 100000.

FOR AND AGAINST

I OSEPH H. CHOATE as head of
the National Security League has
ascertained through a canvass of
the Senate and House the attitude of
many of the members toward the
Presidents national defense program.
In a canvass covering not quite one
third of the membership of the two
national bodies it was discovered that
"a Senators and 113 Representatives
had stated that they would be for pre-
paredness, while / Senator and 10
Representatives indicated that they
would oppose the program.
OF those Senators who will
support the plan for ade-
quate national defense 16 are
Republicans, Z are Democrats and 1 is
a Progressive. In the lower house the
members for preparedness are made
up of rs Republicans, 80 Democrats
and Progressives. All those who
are listed as against preparedness are
Democrats.
1t remains to be seen how far the
Bryan propaganda will affect the
Democratic organization at Washing
ton. President Wilson is approaching
his great crisis in the White House.

CAPITOL PARK EXTENSION

IWARREN f. MANNING the dis
w tinguished Boston landscape
designer. who has done so
much in the making of the new Har-
risburg. will be the guest of honor this
evening at a dinner to which Cover
nor Brumbaugh has invited the mem-
bers of the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings, the Capitol Park Ex-
tension Commission, the City Plan
ming Commission, the members of the
City Council and the Mayor and
Mayor-elect. This dinner will precede
the important meeting in the House
of Representatives which will be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Manning, who will out
line the relation of the city to the
State in the further development of
the Capitol Park area, especially that
part east of the Capitol which is now
being cleared for the enlargement of
the public grounds.
Mr.. Manning has given intelligent
study to this problem and is probably
better qualified to harmonic the land
Escape designing of the State and the
city than any other expert who might
be engaged for this work. Harrisburg
has done a great deal in providing a
proper and dignifed setting for the
imposing structure on Capitol Hill: 1t
remains now for the Commonwealth
through its officials, to cooperate in
the dignified treatment of the property
now passing under the control of the
State.
Fortunately for both the municipal
ity and the Commonwealth, the officials
on Capitol Hill have shown an increas-
ing interest in working out the prob
lens which are involved. Governor
Brumbaugh and the members of the
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings are in close touch with the stu
alton and the dinner tonight will af-
ford an opportunity for an inter-
change of views which will be helpful
to all concerned. 1t will mark the be-
ginning of the final step in the land
scape treatment of the big area east
of the Capitol, as we'll as the correc-
ton of existing conditions in the pres
ent park.
Every citizen of Harrisburg is in
terested in the development of this
district along harmonious lines and
the growing and widespread interest
in the civic center proposition indi-
Gates the public spirit of our people
and their attitude toward the whole
matter.

THE WANDERING MAIL BAG
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

MOT long ago the Post Office De-
N partment was greatly puzzled to
know why so many of the mail
bags it sent to South America never
returned Some light was shed on
this mystery when a letter reached
the Washington office telling how a
progressive South American merchant
had a complete set of awnings for mis-
store out of mail bag material.
Investigation along these lines re-
vealed the fact that the striped mate
rial of the mail bags had peculiar
fascination for the Latin American
eye, and was considered especially de-
sirable for clothing. A rural mail car
rier in one South American country
regarded it as a privilege of his office
to make all of his clothing out of
United States mail bags. a couple of
long, narrow pouches made pair of
trousers with very little reconstruc-
tion, while a somewhat wider one re-
quired only the cutting of armholes
to make an excellent sleeveless shirt.
The letters, "U. S. Mail" stamped
upon the material he regarded as a
particularly effective touch of decora-
ton.
In South American countries U. S.
mail bags have also been used for
shipping fruit and other commodities.
In fact, the pilfering of these bags has
