WEATHER BUREAU REPORT For Eastern Pennsylvania: Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday; moderate temperature. TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1914 "Why don't they keep the streets a little cleaner?" You ask with deep annoyance not undue; "Why don't they keep the parks a little greener?" Did you ever stop to think that THEY means YOU? Democrats in Nebraska expect to have a harmonious state convention today, despite the trouble occasioned by the opposition of Senator Hitchcock to the confirmation of Mr. Jones on the Reserve Board. Wilson, Bryan and Hitchcock will all be endorsed. The unusual feature of the "Dublin massacre" is that the English government has seemingly been tolerating the arming of citizens in Ulster but has laid a heavy hand upon the landing of arms at Dublin for the homerulers.

It looks as if the two sides were not being treated alike. Mexican factions are gradually drawing together in settlement of their national troubles. Let's see, the Wilson policy in Mexico was one of Penrose's platform planks, wasn't it? And business depression was other. Both have failed him. Congressman Palmer, his opponent, well says: "The collapse of the Penrose platform leaves the people free to consider the one, real issue in this campaign, that is the Penrose record." Tomorrow the Cape Cod Canal will be officially opened.

It is a great work, comparable in its effect to the building of the Panama Canal. It is expected to carry twice as much freight as Panama and more than Suer. That there will be a strong inducement to have all freight now shipped through Cape Cod sent through the canal is readily seen when it is stated that for the last sixty years it is estimated that more than 2,000 ships and between 600 and 700 lives have been lost in the stormy passage around the Cape. By means of the canal this long and dangerous passage round Cape Cod will be transferred to a short and safe one of the few miles lying between 'Buzzard's Bay and Cape Cod Bay, an immense saving in time and distance, with a complete elimination of the perils which for more than 200 years have been the dread of sailors. HE trouble in California over the rights of Japanese immigrants is having a counterpart to a certain extent in the more recent case in British Columbia over the immigration of Hindus.

These East Indians are British subjects but they have been denied entrance to a part of the British empire. Japan is drawn into the case because the Hindus were brought in a Japanese ship. A determined attempt was made to land, in which the immigrants came into forcible contact with the Dominion police, but they were forced to sail away again. It must be understood that Gurdit Singh, a man of great wealth who owns large tracts of timber in British Columbia as well as in India and employs thousands of men, is engaged in a test of the Canadian exclusive laws. This accounts for the aggresiveness of the invaders.

Gurdit Singh's contention that the laws in question were not constitutional has already been dealt with in a decision of Chief Justice Macdonald to the effect that by the terms of the British North America act Canada is "endowed with sovereign power in matters relating to immigration into any part of the Domion." The Hindus are thus excluded from Canada as they are from United States, and it opens up again the whole question of Asiatic 1 immigration which greatly interests and vitally concerns all Eastern nations. GERMAN authority figures that A a general European war would engage 20,000,000 men and that the cost would be $54,000,000 a day. Besides this enormous waste in lives and property there would be the additional loss occasioned by the desruction of commerce and industry. It is almost impossible to believe that Europe would enter upon such a war. Although trade in the Untied States would profit by a European conflict, we are not so selfish that we would like to have our own condition improved at such an enormous sacrifice.

Nations in both continents hope for peace. General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A.

(retired) makes the following interesting observation: "The last action of Austria is but the crowning act of what has been threatened for years. Servia in military strength is no match for Austria, and her former allies are in no condition, even if they were disposed to aid her, "Unless the great powers intervene Servia will be absorbed. Should the great powers be drawn into conAlict it will -undoubtedly become one of the most serious of wars, and with the modern appliances will be the most expensive and destructive, will demonstrate the wisdom of a parliament of reason and justice for the settlement of international controversies." Gen. Miles said that Servia has about 300,000 men. While they are well equipped and well drilled, the country, having gone through two hard wars, is not finanically equipped for another war.

Austria, he said, has an army of about 700,000 men, and the equipment is the equal of that of Servia. ordering 332 additional coke ovens in operation, the Frick Coke Company gives concrete evidence of a genuine resumption of business in the steel trade in Western Pennsylvania. The coke region has suffered more than any other in the policy of retrenchment adopted by the railroad and steel interests, and resumption of business may be looked upon as a certain return to prosperity and a collapse of calamity howling. Another Indication of good industrial conditions 1 is the report of the record production of coal in Pennsylvania. This State, which mines one-fifth of the world's production of coal, during the last year has produced the enormous total of 139 tons, valued at the mines at 220,933.

This broke the record of the previous year by nearly 8 per cent. The bituminous coal production broke the record of the previous year by 14 per cent. The employes in Pennsylvania mines, both anthracite and bituminous, during the last year made an average of 257 days, compared with 231 days in 1912. This means that there were more miners employed and they had more work than in previous years. With good crops and good business conditions in the coal and steel regions of the State we fail to see any foundation for a calamity.

howl. In fact most people pay no attention to partisan political newspapers who are trying to undermine prosperity, and make working conditions harder for men who must toil to earn their living. The calamity howlers are dealing their state a mean blow by misrepresenting conditions or by attaching undue importance to isolated cases of business depression.

tinel A Success Habit There is nothing new in the statement that man is a creature of habit, but have you ever thought of this in connection with savings? Start the habit of withholding a part of every item of income you receive and deposit it at 3 per compound interest, in the Carlisle Trust Company and you will find yourself going to the bank with your weekly deposit almost as automatically as you put the same shoe on first every morning Carlisle Trust Company THE HOME OF SAVINGS guson was the anti-administration candidate, and that his opponent, Bail had the endorsement of the President, Secretary Bryan, Postmaster- General Burleson and other Democratic leaders. But Ferguson was also the anti-prohibitionist candidate: and that explains a whole lot. It anyone supposed that Wilson and Bryan would endorse his candidacy they very much mistake the men. Very likely they knew that Ball was doomed to defeat, yet they approved him rather than the candidate opposed to prohiibtion. Only narrow souls would read a defeat in such a course.

It does not make much difference which man was nominated for either, running as the Democratic candidate, could have been elected. It does make a difference however on which side the President chose to throw his influence and we are glad to know it was for the right rather than for partisan advantage.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY Thief Unlocked Door at Cabman John Brown's Office but Secures Nothing for His Trouble A thief entered the office of Cabman John Brown in the McCullough building, North Pitt street, Monday night or early this morning. The office is on the second story. Some one very familiar with the premises attempted the crime.

The thief simply unlocked the door with a duplicate key, probably and quietly entered. Mr. Brown usually left money in a desk drawer in the day time but not at night, and this fact the thief did not know or he would not have been willing to work for nothing. The desk was somewhat damaged where the drawer was pried open. There may be an arrest.

To the (Editor of the Sentinel, oh, where has the water sprinkler gone? Where, oh where, has it gone? It's true that a few weeks ago we didnt' need it very much but that was no reason why council should have sold the dust killer or junked it or done something else to it except to put it to the use for which it was intended.

Now hasn't it been dry long enough and hasn't there been enough of miserable dust kicked up in this old town to remind the authorities that if that vehicle is still in existence it should be told to get busy? But then when we reflect that it's been so long since we saw it on the streets and when the dust is so awfully thick we can't help but wail "Where, oh, where is the water sprinkler." SANITATION.

Kissinger, Nearly Drowns At Bellaire Park CRIES FOR "HELP" Was Unconscious After Suffering Attack of Cramps -Why Not Another Carnegie Medal? Charles Kissinger, a stenographer in the employ of the Lindner Shoe, Company, and a son of Grocer Charles Kissinger, experienced a very narrow escape from drowning at Bellaire Park, the news of which has just leaked out. With others he was bathing in the waters of the placid Conodoguinet and was frolicking in the water with several other bathers, among whom was Sterrett Parkinson, who several years ago saved the life of the Graham lad for which heroic deed he was given a Carnegie medal and $1000 scholarship. The Carnegie agent ought to come to Carlisle again for it was Parkinson, who on Saturday saved Kissinger's life.

Cries "Help! Help!" Kissinger was seized with cramp and cried "help!" Parkinson immediately swam to him and brought him ashore. He was unconscious for a time and was a very ill young man. He was brought to his home on South Hanover street in a conveyance and Dr. E. R.

Hudson was called in. Charles is now recuperating at the home of an uncle in Centerville and his physician forbids him entering the water any more this season. It was a narrow escape for him, for he was helpless, for only Parkinson's heroic and speedy action saved his life. BEDFORD PICNIC Will Be Held On Friday At Holly Park As the date for the great annual outing of the Bedford Shoe employees draws near interest in this, one of the most popular gatherings of the season, increases. With the fair weather conditions which the weatherman has made for this section during the latter part of this week all things point to a record breaking crowd.

The outing, to be held this year at Holly Park, on Friday, July 31, is the Seventh Annual one to be held by the management of this industry for their employees and their friends and promises to eclipse anything heretofore attempted. All details have been practically completed by the committee in charge and the program as announced calls for a wide variety of games, contests and other features which will make the event especially notable. As usual when the Bedfords hold a picnic everything will be free to those who make the trip to amusement resort. There will be free bowling, boating and bathing with dancing afternoon and evening for which the celebrated Smith's orchestra will play. A band secured especially for the occasion will render concerts during the entire day under the direction of Prof.

Leo McDonald, of this place. There will be two baseball games and the regular program of contests and games which this year will be enhanced by the addition of several new features that are bound to prove popular. I The committee who are in charge of the picnic have been working hard and have everything in readine3s for the big day. On the arrangement board are John H. Liszman, S.

M. Meals, H. J. Lease, J. H.

Walters, M. J. Kuhns, C. S. Bushey, Joseph Straw, and the Misses Mable Ployer and Florence Gill.

The Bedford outting has always been one to induce better feeling between the members of the firm and those employed in the big plant and all are eagerly looking forward to Friday. w. H.

V. R. R. Bridge Over Potomac River The Pennsylvania Steel Company has completed the work of placing the steel girders at the Cumberland Valley railroad bridge over the Potomac river, near Williamsport. The bridge is of deck girder design being made up of twelve, one hundred foot girders, resting upon concrete abutments and piers.

The girders were set with a derrick car, weighing (110 tons and having a 65 foot beam. This way the car avoids the necessity for all false work and is the modern method for such construction. The railroad company has arranged to place a solid concrete floor on the bridge, the contract for' the work having been let to the Brooks which built part of the sewerage system for Carlisle. The new bridge is located about one hundred feet up the river from the present structure and presents most satisfactory appearance. Tae heavy concrete work was well done by Contractor Thos.

Sheehan, Richmond. The work of making the approaches to the bridge is well under way, 80 that the improvement should be in service early in September. 0'HARA-GINTER Couple Wedded Two Years Ago, And Divorced Are Re- Married 'A wedding occurred at the First parsonage Monday night at nine o'clock, the principals being Reuben O'Hara and Miss Sadie Ginter, in other words it was a re-marriage.
