HARRISHURG NEWS LETTER
Fight for Gubernatorial Honors in Republi.
can Vamp Waxes Warm,
If anyone suspects there is not a real
fight on in the Republican party this
year for gubernatorial honors he has
but to spend an hour or two at the
Capitol at Harrisburg to disabuse his
mind, The factional strife is bitter,
and that it will probably go beyond
the primaries is the belief of politi
cians of more than one party, One
thing indicating this is the f:ct that
J. Denny O'Neil in leasing headquart-
ers near the Capitol took the rooms of
an cffice buildiug until November, Of
course, he is not counting on being de-
feated by the Penrosé faction at the
primaries, but the rumor hss already
gained much headway that if he is de-
feated on May 21 for the nomination
he will not consider himself out of tha
fight, for he is in the race, he says, to
oust Benator Penrose as a political fac-
tor in Pennsylvania,
The Penrose factiop, naturally, is
doling all it can to belittle the O'Neil
candidacy and its backing. It is
claimed that without the Vare support
the campaign of O'Neil and Governor
Brumbsugh can make no headway,
that the governor with his years of ad-
vantages at the capitol, has pot
erected s political machine that will
stand the wear of rough usage,
weather the May breezes or resist ev'n
the usual bumps in the rough political
highwey that leads to the ballot boxes,
The O'Neil backers pot only know
what they want but they are going
after it, and all attempts of the Pen-
rose faction to make the people be'leve
that the fight in May wi!l be one-
sided and will fall flat,
When the Governor was recently
asked where he stood in the present
campsign he replied :
“I am for Mr, O'Neil. I believe
this has been known for sometime. I
am surprised than avy particular stress
should be placed upon it vow,"
The only reason for the question was
that the Governor is commending the
State Highway Commissioner at his
Pittsburg dioper, where he formally
annout ced bis candidacy, aid he wss
for a man of “the type of Mr, O'Neil,”
The Governor backed up his O'Neil
reassertion upon his return to the capl-
tol from Florida by callipg a con-
ference of his department heads snd
his cabinet officers and stated he would
appreciate their support, The only
depart ment beads he bas not working
for him are the Auditor General and
Btate Treasurer, both of whom were
elected snd both of whom were Pen-
rose followers. Hecretary of Internal
Aflairs Psul Houck is not openly out
for Mr, O'Neil because he and hie
friends, although he was appointed to
the place by the Governor, are trying
toget him on the Penrose ticket to
succeed himself for a full term. The
governor not only said he wou 'd value
their aid in putting O'Neil over, but
emphasized the matter a bit by add-
ing that he expected their support,
Foliowing up this conference an at-
tache of the executive department was
detailed to see that every employee in
a department controlled by the Gov-
erpor received a blank nominating
petition for O'Neil for governor. The
distribution was carried on in a sys-
tematic way and except for the depart-
ments mentioned and the State Police
Department, which has always been
kept out of politics, no department,
bureau or compmlesion clerk at the
Capitol escaped. The action indicates
that the fight is to be no half-headed
aflair, for the employes were not only
instructed by their chiefs to turn over
100 signatures apiece but to have
them by April 1.
And, incidentally, the Penrose fac-
tion lieutenants at the Capital knew
that the executive department was in
earnest, for when Penrose placeholders
got the petitions and were told to
bustle for the Btate Highway Com-
missioner they at once rushed to the
Penrose men for advice, [oevery in-
stance they were told to get the peti.
tions filled in full if they valued their
jobs.
One of the strongest assets of a Gov
ernor who is in politics for keeps is his
appointive power. Disloyal Penrose
heads of departments who were told to
vacate bave been succeeded by men
who can carry their own district, and
the informed comment at the capitol
now ls that vacancies thet have ex-
listed for some time will be filled final-
ly by men who know their home die-
tricts and who carry the vote in their
vest pockets, The sppointment of
such men le fighting fire with fire, but
that Is the intention of the sdminie-
tration nowadays,
Patronage in a great State like Penn-
sylvania counts heavily. Penrose
knows thie, and it hes been pressed
home to him many times In recent
years when he hae Incked patronage in

TAXING DOGS,
The 10,000,000 Dogs In the Country Ucn.
sume $250,000,000 Worth of Food,
Dr. Evan O'N:il Kane, of Kane,
Pa., has written a tract on the subject
of doge, that might be read every-
where, He is urging a national dog
law, He says that there are 10,000,-
000 dogs in this country, and he fig-
ures it cut that these eat from $250,-
000,000 worth of food up to four times
that, He clasges them all at either
unprofitable luxuries or dangerous
puisances. As luxuries he says :
In addition to the tremendous ex-
pense of their keep (many of them eat
as much or more than an adult man),
the time expended upon them or en-
gaged in amusement with them is val-
uable time lost, Many wealthy wo-
men take them in . lieu of children,
and with sporting men they are given
first coreideratior, the home and fam-
ily coming second.
As puiea: ces they convey diceasee,
disturb the public peace, destroy
sheep by the milliors aud are the
source of hydrophobia. He urges &
high dog tsx so that people who feel
they must keep their dogs shall pay
for the privileges. He expects a bill
to this eflect to ceme up before the
Ways and Means Committee of Con-
grees,

Western Stook Feeder Writes,
Inavale, Neb., Mar. 5, 1818
Editor Reporter :
Find enclosed check to boot ahead
my subscription,
The yesr 1917 was not a good one
for us live-stcck feeders. Prices for
feed were too high to make much prof-
it. Corn started at $1.00 per bushel,
and was poor quality at that, Now [t
is $1.70, and hey $25.0 per ton. Many
a feeder ls losing from $10.00 to $20 00
rer heed on cattle and $2 00 to $5.00 op
hogs. I did not lose anything on my
cattle as I bought them last spring,
and put good weight on them ob
grass, I also gave them 60 days’ good
feeding with the result that ih nipe
months they gained 395 pounds per
head. I sold them st a margin of
$2.15 per cwt, ; but I will lose on my
hogs as they are §250 per cwt, lower
than they were in the fall, The
trouble is if a feeder goes in the mar-
ket to buy feeding stock he has to bid
against the packers, They will buy
anything that can walk, Don’t know
what the outcome will be this year—
labor is very scarce,
Yours truly,

The 1917-18 Lecture Course season
for Centre Hall will terminate with
the appearance of 8, Platt Jones, fun-
maker, on Thuraday evening of next
week-—March 21st. He is the sixth
and last number on the course,
Lecture course patrons who delight
in seeing the audience in a constant
state of laughter will find their ideal
in B, Platt Jones. With Mr, Jones
are ‘‘ others of the Jones family ’. At
least you would think se, judging
from the speedy transformation which
takes p'ace as he vanishes from the
platform for an instant andresppears in
a new character, quaint, but altogeth-
er likable, There is a perfect intimacy
between the floor and platform, It ie
something like this: Jones comes be-
for the audience, opens his mouth (a
fair sized one), greats the people In a
very buman manper, radiates good
nature and clean bumor until urcon-
sciourly all in the audience are actual-
ly doing their best to mske a huge
success of their entertainment. Per-
fect intimecy exis's between floor and
platform, Jones becowes inepired by
the good nature of his hearers, so a
story just a bit funnier follows the pre-
vious one.
It is nigh Impossible to describe Mr,

realize that life Is well worth living in

THE STORY OF THE PLAY.
The scenes of this play are laid in
Mountdale, a villsge in the Adiron-
dack region. Lemuel Bright, a pioue,
narrow-minded ** pillar of the church,”
and bls wife, Hovor, who fs a college
womap, had two dsughtere, Btar and
Bunshine, When Siar was sixteen
years of age she was rent to college,
where clandestinely, she met an actor
named Arthur Pulver, who induced
her to elope with him for the stage oa-
reer she had coveted from her infancy.
As a result her father disowned her,
aud for twelve years her name wae
pever allowed to be spoken in the
home ; while ber mother's, grief over
the father’s attitude nearly cost her
her life and condemned her to an ex-
istence of almost hopeless iovalidism,
Twelve years after, at the time of
the opening scene of the play, this
same man comes to the neighborhood
under an assumed nsme, represents
himself as an artist, sod eecuring
board in the Bright family endeavors
to tempt Sunshine to leave home with
him in order to secure the college oa-
reer her father has alwayes denied her,
because of her sister's experience, of
which she herself knows nothiog at
all.
The elopment is frustrated through
the intervention of Bmith, a private
detective, who has come to the house
as a boarder aud been taken in by the
different members of the family, as
the new minister, the new doctor, the
new editor, the (sx arpessor and a
phonograph agent, which is the role be
himself has elected to play in the vicin-
ity, as well as the lover of Bird Denton,
a college girl, spenditig her vacation
in the home, whose lover is a slightly
different man with a slightly different
pame. Ibn reality Bmith has come to
the village in the service of the absent
daughter, to prevent her belrayer
from carrying out his pefarious de-
sigus against her sister. A phono
graph record Is employed to reveal to
the detective the real state of mind of
both the father and the mother re-
garding the lost daughter, who comes
in person to the old home in the
guise of a boarder just In time to pre-
vent her sister from being forced
reputstior, which be chooses to con-
sider endavgered by the attempted
elopment.
The detective reveals to the sston-
ished family the truth of the elder
daughter's legal marriege, and all the
tangles are repidly untwisted as the
optimistic Bunshine Is made happy by
the promise of her longed-for college
course, and the renewed joy of her
mother and sister,
The comedy Is carried by a neigh-
bor, Jake Hoover, and his matrimon-
ial designe on Melinda Bendy, a ro-
mantic epirit employed in the Bright
home, vot to mention the soulful Eth-
elhart Ferdinand Delaney, whose
mythioal personally, when finally un-
masked, ia a strong ally in Jake's
cause,
