WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY SI Self-trust is the first secret of suc cess.—EMEßSON. "WAR ORDKR" PROSPERITY HARRISBURG working and busi ness people have received their first clear intimation of the in- 1 stability and uncertainty of "war or der" prosperity In the notices posted last night, by the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company, telling hun dreds of employes that their services will be required no longer, due to the fact that England is now able to make her own shrapnel and that no more orders for small size shells will be placed in the United States. Undoubt edly this notification will be dupli- ! cated in a thousand machine shops the country over. Men who have been studying the | business situation have forecasted this j stagnation in the munitions trade, j only their predictions have been real- i ized sooner that even the most con- , servative have expected. In the midst of the greatest war in I history England ant) France declare j themselves Independent of this coun try in the manufacture of war ma terials. What then are we to expect ' of them when the war shall cease? ! How long will it be before they will j be competing with us In our own | markets for all manner of trade we , now call our own? E. St. Elmo Lewis, a student of business conditions, speaking before i the Harrisburg Rotary Club a day or two ago, said: "Men. I warn you to j prepare for the business drive of i Europe that is to follow the great war drive now in progress—a drive against American trade that will have back of j It all the finances, all the skill and all vf the tenacity of purpose that now j mark the armies of both sides on the j field of battle. I know it is hard to ! talk to men of business stagnation 1 when they have more orders on their ! books than they can fill, but I warn you solemnly that present conditions cannot continue and America must sooner or later face the terrific com petition of Europe. Prepare for it. Build a bridge over the precipice at our feet, instead of a hospital at the bottom." There are many ways in which busi ness can prepare for this keen com petition, sure to come, but there is one essential without which all others will be of no avail, and that is the ! early enactment of a protective tariff | by a Republican Congress. Experl- j enee has shown us that a protective j tariff does protect, that it makes for! individual and national prosperity, ! and the Democrats can no longer con- | tend that a low tariff results in lower |i prices of articles of consumption for 1 the reason that food and other house hold necessities have never been so high in price as since the enactment! of the Underwood tariff law now in j force, a law, by the way, that has been so ineffectual as a revenue pro ducer that its framers had to supple- i ment it by the addition of a "stamp" tax that all of us must pay. In other i words, the Republican tariff produced' prosperity and required the foreign ! manufacturer to pay our taxes, where- j as the Democratic tarlfT has removed ' the tax from the foreigner, placed it' on the home consumer and has given j him no commensurate advantage,' prices having gone up under it, in- J stead of down. Whon the "war order" prosperity shall have vanished, unless we are prepared in advance, what then? TWO HISTORIC FIGURES GONE TWO figures that will occupy their own peculiar places in American history as long as it is read, passed from the walks of life this week—James J. Hill, railroad builder, empire developer and capitalist, and Colonel John S. Mosby, partisan rang er, dashing cavalry commander and scourge of the Federal forces during the Civil War. While the activities of the two men were along widely different lines, yet they were not without their points of similarity. The remarkable success of both was based on the same personal qualities—unbounded energy, courage, daring, ruthlessness and orig inality. On that foundation Mosby built a reputation for military achieve ment that made him the most dreaded figure in the Confederacy. Hill was a raider, too, and feared by his enemies in the financial world even as Mosby was by the Union commanders. But there the comparison ends, for while Mosby was a destructive force In the WEDNESDAY EVENING, land, Hill was nothing if not construc tive. He saw the vision of the Great Northwest as it lies to-day at a time when Indians and buffaloes ranged its hills and plains and when the im mense agricultural country was but an untamed wilderness. There were men who during the hey day of his phenominal career hated Hill with a venom as deep as ever characterized the feelings of Union officers for Mosby, but he was the man of the hour In the country he did so much to develop. We shall not see his like again. He is unique—one of the great "captains of industry" who played their conspicuous parts on the stage of constructive American life, won their meed of fame and wealth — and departed. American life has al ways produced the man to meet the need. As the rebel forces were sorely put for a Mosby In the Shenandoah when he and his little band arose to nullify the effect of some 15,000 Union soldiers, so Hill came forward to make of the Great Northwest a rich ! and happy abiding place for thousands !of Americans. When the need passes, | the type passes, and so with Hill and Mosby. History of the future prom ises to give us no duplicates. YOUR DAUGHTERS THERE is published in a recent is sue of Leslie's Weekly, an edi torial that every mother —and j father, too —ought to read. The writer j ! asks questions that must have arisen ;in the mind of every man who has | looked with astonishment upon the | startling raiment of the girls and i young women of the present and who has compared them in his mind's eye j with the costumes of other days. I Among his interrogations are these: j Is she following the fashion set | by the undressed chorus girls of the ! stage? | Is she bedecked in flimsy gar- | ments meant to display the contour I of a shapely figure? Is ner walking dress cut so low j that one would think she was on j | her way to the opera and so high j that the color of her stockings is I discernible? j Are her fingers, neck and arms covered with gaudy Jewels, choaply imitated on the 5 and 10-cent coun ters? Is her face rouged and pow dered with the freedom of the bra zen demimonde? 1 Does your daughter measure up to any of these specifications? If so, you have some idea of how thinking men look upon her. RURAL FRKE DELIVERY ONE of the campaign issues in Pennsylvania next Fall will be the rural free delivery, which In many instances has been seriously interfered with by the Democratic ad ministration since 1913. The latest slam of the Democrats at the farmer has been the limiting of the parcel post to fifty pounds, by amendment to , a bill now before Congress. Congressman John R. K. Scott, who! appears to have been renominated by | the Republicans of the State on Tues day, has issued a statement on the subject in which he says: If the protests and complaints re ceived by Congressmen from thou sands of rural route patrons of ] every section of the country and especially Pennsylvania are any cri terion. then the service must have | degenerated Into a mere travesty of its former usefulness. I doubt if there is any member of the Penn sylvania delegation whose district extends Into suburban territory, who has not received thousands of letters and petitions asking that efforts be made to improve existing conditions. Pennsylvania appears , to have been the butt of all the radical experiments, and the inves- ; tigating committee does not need to go nny further than into tho confines of this Commonwealth to v-adily discern that something is wrong. The entire trouble started almost a year ago when, under a plea of economy, the department commenced to rearrange, reroute and extend the mileage of the en tire system. There is plenty of evi dence that the postal officials hav ing thin phase of the mail distribu tion in cnarge were incompetent or for some unknown reason deliber ately set out to destroy a system which had been carefully worked out and which was progressing end was giving satisfaction to its patrons. The officials have assured us that the system has been cheapened and Improved, but the people who have been served are the best judges, and they lnsl3t that they have been de prived of many of their former mail delivery privileges. The lengthening of the routes was bound to have this effect. In some cases it went very well In fair weather, but when the rain, frost and snow of the early winter served to mftke the unimproved roads almost impassable, the real ser iousness of the situation commenced to appear. The service practically failed in many sections and very often the carriers were lucky to get through with one or two mails a week. Then it was that the farmers, unable to get relief through personal pleas to their Congressman and the postal officials, commenced to band together and hold indignation meetings and forward res olutions to Congress and post office department as was instanced recently at a mass meeting at Salisbury, Pa. In one Instance, where readjust ment was made, an entire town of Ave hundred inhabitants in Western Pennsylvania was left for weeks with out any mall service and residents were obliged to depend upon the cour tesy of a physician who took the post master in his automobile every morn ing to a town twenty miles away where the mail sacks were put off the train. This is a kind of mismanagement that the people do not need to have ex plained to them by political orators. A republic whose citizens lose the conception of the nation as an en tity and the emoodlment of the high ideals and principles for which it stands will soon sink to a point where expediency will replace na tional honor. Expediency excites no inspiration and is not a principle of which a nation ran live. Expediency dictates the theories of peace at any price.—Albert Greene Duncan, president of the National Associa tion of Cotton Manufacturers, in convention. Respectfully referred to Dr. Wood row Wilson. President of the United States, calling his attention to certain remarks made by him In re President Madison, to he found in Wilson's His tory of the American People." The Telegraph desires to add Its thanks to thoso of the veterans for the generous response for donations of flowers for Memorial Day purposes, made through the columns of this news paper. tH, Sy the Ex-Commltteemnn After the State committees have organized to-day the center of politi cal Interest will shift to the conven tion cities.* The meetings of the Re publican State committee and na tional delegates at Philadelphia to day will settle matters in the party organization for a few days, but the battle will be renewed at Chicago whither the headquarters of the Pen rose and Brumbaugh forces will be moved to-morrow with accompanying broadsides of statements. The Democratic headquarters will go to St. Louis in about ten days, but that party docs not furnish its usual amount of excitement. The big theme of interest to-day was the Philadelphia meeting and the efforts of the Brumbaugh people to prevent a majority of the delegates from attending the conference at which Senator Penrose expects to be elected chairman of the delegation over the Governor. Penrose men were rather snappy in denouncing At torney General Brown's claims last night. There were reports here that the names of some delegates had been used in the list claimed to be favor able to the Governor without their consent and that they had protested. This could not be verified at the Capitol as the Brumbaugh head quarters staff was all in Philadelphia. Governor Brumbaugh remained hero to-day and no information could bo obtained as to his plans in the event of a "bolt" occurring in the Pennsylvania delegation. An interesting story came over the wires to-day to the effect that many of the Pennsylvania delegates were favorable to Philander C. Knox for President and that while some were foi Roosevelt they were for Knox as second choice. Considerable Knox sentiment is being manifested about the State, say men who have been "sleuthing* It. —With the possible exception of the Auditor General's, Highway and a few other departments chances are that there will be no dismissals from tbe State government service until after the Chicago convention. Auditor General Powell, who is said to have several men marked for resignations this week, did not indicate anything to-day and there were reports that when the next moves were started in that department they would be in the nature of e-hanges in bureaus. In the departments directly under the Gov ernoi reports were that the changes would be held up, except in a few cases, where it was intended to make examples, until after Chicago. I —Delaware county is holding up i the completion of the official count for delegates-at-large. all other counties having filed their official returns with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Buticr county filed its return this morning and Delaware sent a type written sheet which was not accepted because not certified. Efforts were made all of yesterday and most of to d&y to get in Delaware figures so that the official totals could be computed. The department will not give out any figures until all returns are in. —George S. Pierie will be the only one of Philadelphia's registration commissioners to be reappointed next month when the terms of the four commissioners expire. Frederick J. Schroyer, William A. Carr and Albert H. Ladner will be named in the places of Clinton Rogers Woodruff, one of the original board of commissioners and a Republican, and William A. Carr and Albert H. Ladner will take the places of John O'Donnell and Al bert S. Morgan. The terms of the present commissioners expire on June 15 and considerable pressure has been brought to bear upon the Governor to reappoint Woodruff and others. It was given out at the Governor's office to-day that Pierie would be reap pointed, but that the three new men would also be named. The appoint ments will be Interesting reading for Republicans in Philadelphia to-day. The Pittsburgh and Scranton appoint ments are due to be made soon. The clean sweep to be made in Philadelphia is indication that the Governor does not intend to give his rivals any show whatever In the mat ter of patronage. There are numerous places coming up and his friends ex pert him to hew to the line. —The Governor to-day appointed James E. NoVton, of Reading, as cor oner of Berks to succeed L. G. Hain, deceased. WHAT THE ROTARY CLUB LEARNED OF THE CITY [Questions submitted to members of < the Harrisburg Rotary Club and their answers as presented at the organiza tion's annual "Municipal Quiz."] I How is curbing: paid for, and how , kept in repair? By the property owner. Riggs Bank Exonerated j If Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams has one spark of self-respect, left he will resign. His personal light against the Riggs bank officials failed so completely that it took the jury only nine minutes to ac quit theni. No other verdict was ex pected after the testimony not only as to detailed transactions, but as to the standing of the men as testified from ;the lips of two former Presidents and other important members of society. Apparently the whole proceedings 'grew out of the antagonism of Mr. Williams to the Riggs bank because he lost his position as a railway president due, as he believed, to the unwarrant ed action of the bank. This matter did not come up in the trial, for it ' was not In issue, but that it was the real animus of the prosecution is gen erally believed in Washington. The ;"tuai charge against the bank was of £ inducting a brokerage business in vio lation of the law. Officials had no difficulty in showing that their trans actions were simply those of agent for customers. Now the real point of the 'prosecution was that if the bank of ficials could have been convicted it i would have given the Comptroller a good chance to refuse to recharter the , hank next month. National banks are chartered for twenty years, but may renew for additional terms un less the Comptroller finds reasons to the contrary. There is now no ex cuse for attempting to destroy one of .the oldest banking Institutions in the 'country, and Mr. Williams ought to ; have enough sense of honor to resign so that he need not sign the new char , ter. On many other grounds the country would be glad to spare this man from public service. He is ex-officio a member of the Central Reserve Board and it was to him that some of the iamazing gerrymandering of Reserve districts is due. He selected Rich mond for a Reserve bank in defiance of all natural laws of trade. He is be lieved to have favored Atlanta as against the great commercial and financial center at New Orleans. He has harassed banks by asking for use less information. He has not shown j himself a constructive financier and Is | a heavy weight for the administration Ito carry. But we have no idea that he will re sign. He is not of that sort. There- I fore he should he removed.—Philadel phia Inquirer.

Haskin ; THIS city arises to challenge the i dictum that the American peo- j pie want nothing but rag-time. ' The municipal government is trying the experiment of furnishing its citi-| sens with musical classics of the sortj that are generally supposed to put tired business men to sleep. It is fur nishing these classics in an unroman- 1 'tic, businesslike way, exactly as it sup plies police and fire protection. And the ordinary citizen, who if he lived jup to his reputation would flee from Wagner as from a piague, is stepping all over his neighbors in the rush to 'get tickets. The Baltimore Symphony orchestra is an interesting and significant devel- j [opment. It may point the way to a real popularization of the classics in | this country, such as obtained in Eu rope. It has gone far enough pretty j well to explode the theory that socall- | 'ed "heavy" music goes over the heads of those who lack special musical training The problem is not one of lowering the program to meet the av- 1 erage man's taste. it Is one of low jering the price to meet the average man's pocketbook. The Symphony orcnestra turns the. trick by getting its appropriation from the city council. There is no individ ual benevolence or pnilanthropy con-: neoted with the proceeding at any j point. The taxpayer foots the whole bill. There is nothing to prevent any | other city from establishing a similar series of classical concerts, irrespect ive of whether or no the wealthier ele- | ment of the community is Interested EDITORIAL COMMENT i JSpeaklria about the irony ol rate, sil ver goes up as its g;reat champion goes | clown.—Boston Transcript. j Why don't the Henry W.

I enough to come forward with financial I backing If the experience of this 'city means anything, it means that the | taxpayers are quite willing to support I their own orchestra. There has been no attempt- to com | promise with the taste for what we I have been calling "popular" music, no .slipping down a little Beethoven be tween a waltz and a song medley. The audience takes its classics straight. A typical program is made up of a Schu mann symphony, Wagner overtures and preludes, and a Saint-Saens con ; certo. The advertisements announcing the date of each concert summarize the reception that these programs have been meeting. They carry a stand ing line "All Seats Sold." The man agement knows that it can count on ; -selling every ticket within an hour or so after opening the box-office, where the waiting line is a block long. As the orchestra is a municipal one, how ever. every citizen has a right to know when and where-the concert will be held, go that if he cares to come and .stand up, he may get a chance to do I it as long as the standing room lasts. Admission costs 25 and 50 cents. In I view of the numbers turned away at each concert, there is some talk of tak ing the tabernacle where held held his revival meetings and giv ing a 10 cent concert there. The tab ernacle holds 20.000 people, and ought to give everybody a chance to get a seat.

A gypsy hand of over 100 members toured into Hazleton a day or so ago comfortably ensconced in auto busses and touring cars. They were ordered out. of the city. The novelty lay in their method of travel. Henry Hanby Hay, prefect of Girard Ccllege, Philadelphia, lauds T. R. in ft poem as vehemently as he attacked him in 1912. The professor with the alliterative name, is not the only con vert to the standard of the Big Stick.

Later hi<» stables were burned and last Mon day, his house set on Are, but the Are was discovered in time. John ought to investigate. Abetting (Eljal One thing which must have im pressed everyone in Harrisburg yester day was the extent of the decorations and the display of flags that were gen eral throughout the city. It seemed as though every other house had Mown a fiag to the breeze and many of tho store windows were arranged with the national colors and the Stars and Stripes appeared in many forms. Whether there was any increase in the amount of flags and bunting used be cause of the very strong sentiment for preparedness which abounds in Har risburg or out of patriotic and senti mental regard for the day decorations appeared to be in the minds of many people. Incidentally, it was remarked by a good many people that there was i more general observance of Memorial Day than usual. The streets along the line of the parade were crowded with i people instead of folks being strung along curbs and the attendance at the various evercises of the day was en i couraging to the veterans. However, in the number of flags flown and in the amount of red, white and blue shown, i l he day will be one worth remember ing. * ♦ • Dr. Hugh Hamilton, of Walnut street, will have the unusual pleasure of attending the fiftieth reunion of the | members of the class of 1866 of State < ollege.

Mr. I Long had charge of considerable de- I velopment in the cast and west ends lof the city and foreseeing the time when this country would adopt Euro pean plans for house adornment he decided to get ahead of tho parade. , Consequently there were many houses j built with appliances to which boxes could be attached. • • • | A.

He was especially active in the matter of corn clubs and accompanied some of the corn club tourists here a few years jago, making a speech at the capitol. * • t ; The interest being shown in the count of the vote for the candidates for delegates-at-lßrge is strong all over the State and is the cost of a good bit of money being spent on telephono j tolls to this city. The compilation of (the returns this year is the most ex tensive job of the kind ever known and I the tables are unlike anything ever [prepared at the capitol. The clerks j will be busy for weeks getting returns on the records, largely because of tho big State-wide nominations which must be attended to first of all. The dele gate-at-large tables, for instance, con tain 26 names and as there are 67 counties some idea of what must be done on just one set of nominations or elections can be gained.
