lists that since Philadelphia has the

vember will have two Congressmen-at-
large, it is the country's turn to have
the next Governor. i have no DOUBT
that there are a multitude of Philadel-

And then, too, Brumbaugh, the boy

Huntingdon county boy, and therefore
as representative of the State. Be
that as it may however, If Philadel-

COLONEL HARVEY'S THREE
COUNTS ARE "LIVING ISSUES"

TN an article in the current number
of the North American Review, the
salient portions of which are
printed in another column, Colonel
George Harvey discusses the living
issues" of the campaign. These are
military and Industrial preparedness,
government by and for the people, and
national honor and prosperity. Which
party and which leader he asks. are
best equipped to deal with all three,
and to preserve, protect and de-
fend the Constitution?
In the matter of preparedness, he
suspects both the zeal and the capacity
of the Administration. Gould
Josephus Daniels, he asks, "build
great navy in the shortest possible
time if he would?" Nothing in his
record justifies that assumption. He
has been an obstructionist from the
start. Whatever energy he has shown
Is due to pressure from without.
Colonel Harvey's review of his career
as Secretary is scathing. Yet Mr..
Daniels has had, and presumably still
has, the confidence and support of the
President. There is every reason to
assume that if Mr.. Wilson is reelected
he will hold his present position four
years longer. "A vote for Wilson is
vote for Daniels" Can any sincere
advocate of preparedness cast such a
vote? Mr.. Baker is man of a very
different type, but his pacifist views
make him anything but an ideal Sec
retary of War. And who can have
much confidence in the Presidents be-
lated conversion to a program of ma
tional defense? Nor are his tariff
views such as advocates of industrial
preparedness can sanction.

RIoREATToNAL BLESSINGS
oVERNoR BRUMBAUGH

NHOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH has
NJ written a strong statement in
support of the International
Recreation Congress, which is being
held in Grand Rapids this week. He
every other State needs a great recrea-
uonal revival in order that the leisure
time of her men and her women. her
girls and boys, may be made a con-
structive force for strength, loyalty
team play and good citizenship.
As has been stated in many of the
public addresses of the Governor, he
believes that the wrongs against So
ciety are committed by the people not
in their hours of work, but in the
hours of leisure. and insists that the
responsibility lies mot wholly with the
people who commit these acts. but
with those who have not been wise
enough to see to it that 1t become
increasingly easy for the people to do
right and increasingly hard for them
to do wrong"
Pennsylvania is represented at the
congress at Grand Rapids and many
questions will be discussed during the
week. Many cities like Harrisburg
have already employed play leaders
and in addition to the work of the city
efforts are now being put forth to
keep young people in the country and
make country life worth living through
proper recreation.
No citizen of Harrisburg will con-
tend for a second that the public parks
and Fairgrounds of this city have been
otherwise than tremendously helpful
in making contented and happy
people. But the work is not yet done
and unless reactionary influences
which are constantly at work are
checked the unself1sh movement for
the benefit of all will be lost and the
community suffer.

mailing of the nation" by the railway
brotherhoods to which the President
was the first to submit, the most dan
gerous attack upon the right of the
American people to rule themselves
since Sumter was fired upon. This is
perhaps an exaggeration of the pos
sible effects of the humiliating sur
render by Executive and Legislature
alike. But there is no doubt as to
the danger of the precedent thus set
IT is not necessary to believe that
there was a deliberate political plot
behind the action of Mr.. Wilson. The
argument against him is strong
enough without that. The fact re-
mains that he threw over principle
he had previously accepted at the bid
ding of labor organization that he
endeavored to raise false issue, that
he revealed a fatal lack of judgment
and determination. Colonel Harvey
cites previous utterances of Mr.
Hughes in answer to the question
What would he have done?" The
Republican candidate stands for the
rights of labor, but he repudiates the
doctrine of a privileged class.
The third count in the indictment Of
the President is his failure to uphold
the national honor abroad. Many
episodes of the past three years "have
flushed the cheeks of our countrymen
with shame and humiliation" The
flag has been no protection to them
Other nations whatever they may
think of the United States, mistrust

us for friendship or counsel while he
is President. Is the accusation too
severe? Those who know how Europe
feels at the present moment will not
think so. - The Philadelphia Public

GREETING, MR.. SCHWAB!

TRUE to form and in the fulfill
4 ment of its obligations as the
leader of the commercial. indus
trial and civic activities of the city,
the Chamber of Commerce will to-
night honor Charles M. Schwab and
his associates, Mr.. Grace and Mr.. Bent
at the annual banquet of the organ
ization. AS an industrial giant of the
United States and the world Mr.
schwab has recently become one of us
in the sense that Steelton's industrial
activities are now under his direction
and part of his great industrial plan.
This dinner will be in the nature
of formal welcome to Mr.. Schwab
and his lieutenants to the social and
business life of this community. Our
people want him to know how much
they appreciate what he has already
done in the development of the Steel
ton plant during the comparatively
brief period of his control. They also
want him to feel that they are in
terested in helping him and all asso-
ciated with him in achieving for this
plant, which is for all practical pur-
poses part of Harrisburg, the most
satisfactory progress.
AS one who has come up from the
ranks through the hard school of
experience, Mr.. Schwab stands at the
very forefront of the steel industry.
He knows 1t from alpha to omega. But
1t is not only as an industrial force and
factor in the development of the pros
perity of the United States that Mr..
Schwab stands forth as a leader of
men. His vision comprehends the
philanthropies of mankind and his
life work has embraced much of
humanitarian activity. He stands we'll
with those who labor with their hands
as we'll as those who work with their
brains.
1t is, therefore, a pleasure for the
people of Harrisburg. through their
representative business organization. to
welcome Mr.. Schwab and his group of
younger industrial leaders to the best
we have and to extend to him the
felicitations and good wishes of the
entire community. We shall hope that
the little visit of to-day may be the
forerunner of many more, to the end
that he may become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the spirit and purpose
of the new Harrisburg-the city that
| lis doing things.
