TTT-RDAT KVKVINU, JANUARY e
ON* THK RIGHT TRACK
CITY COM MISSION KR TAYL.OR
Is on the right track In his decla
ration that progress will be made
more, rapidly by careful action
now in the matter of the parks and
ihe fire department than through ln
< onslderate changes without a definite
purpose in view.
His announced policy of retaining
Warren H. Manning, the landscape
architect who has been the consulting
expert from the iuception of the park
movement, will be approved by all
good citizens, as will also liis decision
to Invite the Park Board to continue
to serve the city in an advisory ca
pacity.
Mr. Taylor could not have done any
thing that would more highly com
mend him or more firmly install him
as an official in the confidence of the
people.
Marrisburg has reason to be proud
of its parks and the authorization of a
further loan of SIOO,OOO to complete
the park system is the best evidence
of the general interest of the people
in their outdoor recreation places.
tt is also encouraging to observe in
Mr Taylor's attitude a disposition to
bring to the discharge of his duties
conservative thought and action. He
proposes to move slowly in the making
of changes so that there may be no
reasonable criticism on the score of
undue haste.
Economy, consistent with the best
results, is to be practiced by the mem
bers of the City Commission, and
•while they believe that a nonpartisan
government does not necessarily mean
the retention in office of all 0f1'. ,- ials
aud subordinates of a previous admin
istration, they are obviously of the
opinion that removals should be made
only for the good of the service.
After all, the people of Harrisburg
arc going to judge the Commission on
the results rather than upon unim
portant changes of employes in one
department or another.
It is » curious fact, often noted, thai
xknting does not have nearly so great
Bttraction for the small boy after the
Ice has hecomu thick enough to hold
him safely.
THE THRIFTIEST CITY
THE Chamber of Commerce of
Oil City, through its secretary,
Ira L. Wales, asserts that mu
nicipality is the thriftiest city in
the United States. He challenges the
American Society for Thrift to pro
duce a more prosperous community.
Mr. Wales bases his challenge on
figures and quotes them. The per
capita deposits of the banks of Oil
«'ity amount to SS4S. This figure he
obtained by dividing the figures rep
resenting the total deposits of the
banks by figures representing the total
population of the town.
With a population of 16.000, one
V-ank alone had a total Christmas
raving fund of $138,000.
We imagine that Chicago or New
York, with it 11 their boasted pros
perity. would have some difficulty in
showing anything like such material
well' being of the masses of their
population as is evident from these
figures.
"There are 750,000 people in New
"Vork who are not married.'' says an
exchange. And fully that number who
are who ought not to he.

THE day of the seed and poultry
catalogue apliroaehet h. Already
advance copies of the seductive
booklets arc turning up in the
morning mails. Many a man is now
planning a chicken house that will
never be built or laying out a garden
that will never be dug. But for all
thiit the chicken and the seed house
catalogs serve a very useful purpose.
They make us see the green plants
beneath the snowdrifts and hear
the plaintive peep of the downy chick
above the howl of the winter winds.
They speak to us in soothing tones of
the balmy spring-time and they turn
pur thought:-' from the lethargy of
fireside lounging to the healthy activi
ties of outdoors.
To the owner of a harden there is
no pleasatiter pastime than to 101 l of

TUESDAY EVENING,
j log. marking a favorite variety here,

In his mind's eye his flower bed or his
rows of vegetables as they will look in
the luxuriant development of mid-
June.
But let no ardent beginner pin his
faith to the promises of the cata
logs. The authors of these splen
didly optimistic publications are ex
perts in their lines and the pictures
they present and the possibilities they
outline are the results of years of ex
perience and the very best that their
poultry farms or their gardens pro
duce. Think not that there is any
royal route to the profitable hen or
the productive garden. Hard work
and discouragement there are a-plenty,
and rewards, too. for the intelligent
and the persistent, but only failure for
the man who thinks that his responsi
bility ends with the setting of the hen
or the planting of the seeds.
A CENTURY OF SERVICE I
WE. as a city, are beginning to
take on the dignity of years.
To-night the Hope Fire Com-
pan\ will conclude a century
of service to the community and will
very properly celebrate the even! with
jubilation and good fellowship. With
municipal organizations passing into
the second century of their history
Harrisbtirg may begin to cherish tra
ditions and look back with some pride
upon the antiquity of its institutions.
The llope company Itself has num
bered among its members many of the
most distinguished men of the city.
We look with a smile of kindly humor
over the records of the company, to
where S. Weln Forney, an editor of
earlier days, WHS fined for not "run
ning with the machine;" to the fact
that William Kepner, first Mayor <>f
Harrisbtirg. was a member of the
"horse committee." and that a fee of
2 5 cents was exacted from Secre
tary of War Simon Cameron be
cause he failed to "help clean the
hose" after n lire. Those were the
good old days when citizens of all
walks of life took active part in the
affairs of the municipality, before the
size of the town made it necessary for
the work to be divided and delegated
to specially selected persons or croups.
Through it all it is remarkable to
note that the organization of the Hope
company has been maintained with
scarcely a break and that it is doing
as effectively to-day the work it was
formed to do as it did a century ago.
The Hope company is living up to a
very brilliant past and it Is the hope of
all its friends that the century to com®
will find it as useful an influence In
the community as it has been in tho
days agone.
The family of a Wilkes-Barre man.
killed by cough niedicinp. threatens to
sue the maker of the remedy. But It

THF, FUTURE BRR.HTEXS
THERE is no marked enthusiasm
In business circles at the open
ing of the year, but among all
thoughtful businessmen there is
a disposition to regard the future with
conservative optimism. Reports from
all sections of the country indicate
that manufacturers are inclined to look
upon the next few months as present
ing a more hopeful situation than was
the case during the last half of the
old year.
Getting rid of the tariff and cur
rency uncertainties has, in a measure,
relieved the situation of the elements
of doubt which surrounded business
and commercial activities during the
past few months. It is believed more
elastic conditions in the financial world
will have a tendency to strengthen the
business situation and encourage
greater activity in industrial circles.
Radicalism is disappearing some
what from the political horizon, and
there is less ambition on the part of
those who have exploited business for
political reasons to pursue that line of
policy.
Altogether the nation is preparing
to go ahead, and even the political
and industrial unrest will not alto
gether hinder the development which
is inevitable in a country with the tre
mendous resources of the United
States.
SI.OOO FOR A HUSBAND
WE suggest that it might be well
for Miss Mary Chandler, who
is considering the purchase of
the husband of Mrs. Agnes
Evelyn Jones Bedell, of Boston, for
SI,OOO. to make sure she is getting her
money's worth before she buys.
Mrs. Bedell insists that her husband
is worth SI,OOO and Mr. Bedell mod
estly admits It. gallantly adding that a
woman is worth twice as much as a
man, and blonde women worth one
third more than brunettes.
It would he a pity to split a house
hold that agrees so perfectly upon
such a prime essential of married life
as the worth of a husband. Likewise,
when In the fullness of time the neces
sity arises for employing an alienist
to pass upon the qualifications of one
or the other for admission to an
asylum for the mentally deficient, a
considerable sum of money might be
saved by hiring the same physician to
examine both at the same visit.

I Kroin the Philadelphia Press. |
It is high time that the responsibil
ity for the acts of the administration
was placed where it rightfully belongs.
The place is the White House. The
shoulders to hear the burden are those
of the President. For the things that
are done and the tilings that are left
undone, there is one person responsible,
and but nne. and that person is Wood
row Wilson.
Heretofore both people and press
have been lenient. Happenings in gov
ernmental affairs ha\e been laid at
other doors than those of the White
House. Cabinet officers have been
criticised, minor officials have been
been blamed. The arrow of reproach has
been directed at other targets. In many
matters the administration has been
tried in the balance and found want
ing. yet the President has been spared
No longer should the criticism and
the blame lie shifted irom where it
rightfully belongs. The responsibility
belongs to the mill in the White
House. Each appointment is his up
pointmnit. each office bargain is his
bargain, each act of his official familv
i« his own act. The man who i'; oil
trial before the countrj Is Wootlrow

! €bmng Cljat
only commences to realize how
many corporations have their homes
in Harrisburg and how widespread ar»
their activities In times when papers
are filed at the State Capitol certify
ing to increases In stock or debt or
other corporate matters. Scores of
such papers have been put on record
In the Department of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth and the data
indicates that this city is the official
business place of scores of water, gas.
electric, traction and manufacturing
companies. Jt is estimated bv men
who are prominent In financial affairs
that over fifty water companies have
their home here and that they are en
gaged in business in a score of coun
ties. The same is true In a lesser
sense of gas companies nnd they are
conducted in probably a dozen coun
ties. This city is the directing point
of several railroad, trolley and lumber
corporations conslderablv removed
from Dauphin county. The above has
reference only to corporations doing
business within Pennsylvania There
are scores which have enterprises
throughout the United States and even
in Canada and Mexico which have
offices in this city. Harrisburg capital
is not inclined to be idle and appar
ently likes to work in distant places as
well as at home.
Dr. Joseph Kaibfus. the secretary of
the Game Commission, is of the
opinion that some of the arms of the
throughout the State are either
stiff In the joints or else that thev are
not being worked as hard as they
might be. The doctor's investigations,
which never stop, show that in many
places constables have not arrested
people for violations of the game laws
and that some indiscriminate shooting
during the recent season cleaned out
useful birds. The commissioner has
just sent a letter to the judges calling
their attention to this laxity on the
part of officers and requesting that
they be brought up standing and
cither be made to enforce the law or
be penalized for indifference or worse.
Friends of H. E. Bodine, formerly
with the State Bureau of Industrial
Statistics and well known to many
Harrisburgers, were congratulating
him yesterday while he was in the city
on his selection to be secretary of the
commercial bodies at Winston-Salem.
N. t. Mr. Bodine came here some
years ago from Tioga county anil at
tracted attention by the studies he
made of Pennsylvania cities and bor
oughs under direction of Chief John
1A Rockey. He made secretary of
the commercial organization of Clear
field He will have a larger Held In
North Carolina, where he will take ui.
his work at once.
The Brelsford Packing and Storage

good work which was started in Chi

fj 1 . , w , hlch when yon come to
think about it is not only based on
humanity hut on common sense as
, i - .. The slogan is "Throw away that
club and the movement is to restrain
the stock drover from hammering
cattle wth clubs, poles, forks and
ufL 8 which come to hand and
"hioh men who are in charge of dumb
beasts are all too prone to use. Now.
ad ays we go after the man who heats
a horse or stones a dog, but it has
probably not occurred to the average
man that when a drover pounds a cow
with a club that, he is not only causing
needless suffering, in many cases, but
injuring our meat supply as well. The
packers keep an account of a bruised
animal and the seller is held to ac
count for it. Cruelty to cattle, it is
pointed out, is costly. The club in the
hands of a hot-tempered drover when
laid on the back of a steer means just
that much loss. The advice given by
the people who are back of this sen
sible move is worth while reading by
many city and country people because
t Is ' Exercise care in handling your
livestock at home: insist upon careful
handling in transit and at market."
Professor A. Duncan Yocum. of the
University of Pennsylvania, who is in
charge of the university extension
work, is well known here, as he has
often visited the city and ranks high
among the faculty members.
The banquet of the Hope Fire Com
pany in celebration of its centennial
to-night has attracted much attention
from the tiremen of the State, and the
officers of the companv to-day re
ceived congratulations from a number
of organizations in the central sec
tion. Hhe Hope has been host to so
many firemen in their visits to this
city that the people who have enjoyed
its hospitality are taking note of the
fact.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
GORDON IS Time
OFFISH, TOO
William Abbot Witman, the Read
ing Baseball Man, Alto
Figures in Gossip
PALMER IS MUCH WORRIED
Believes That His Is in
Washington and ofil on
Capitol Hill
Announcement to-day that friends
of James Gay Gordon, former judge
and one of the prominent figures in
the Democracy of Pennaylvanla when
some of the present bosses were wear
ing kilts, were putting him forward
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the United States Sen
ate caused a flutter among Democrats
here, where the judge has always been
strong and where mere verification of
hts candidacy would cause men to take
off their coats and work for him.
Judge Gordon was the candidate of
the anti-reorganization people for
chairman of the State convention in
1912 and took his defeat like a man.
He fought Colonel J. M. Guffey tooth
and nail when some of the present
bosses were glad to follow In the
colonel's train.
The judge said in Philadelphia last
night that he had not heard of his
boom, but did not say he would not
run.
The name of William Abbot Wit
man. of Reading, prominent as a
baseball promoter, is also being used
in connection with the senatorial
nomination. This, however, is not
taken seriously, but as more of a blind
to hide machinations of Palmer and
to head off any demonstration for
Judge John M. Garman. of Wilkes-
Barre. who is willing to run.
According to a story which drifts
here from Easton. Congressman Pal
mer is dallying with the suggestion of
his colleagues in Congress
that he be a candidate for
Palmer the Democratic nomination
and the for Governor until he can
Senate be sure of some combina
tions he is triying to work
out. Palmer knows that if
he offers himself as a candidate for
Governor he will be a target, and he
also knows that he is going to have a
hard battle in his home district next
year. His inclinations are all to stay
in Washington, not to tackle the
laborious job of Governor, and it is
intimated that he will let it be known
that he will regard it as his liking and
at the same time afford a test of lead
ership if he runs for United States
senator. Berry or O'Rrien can have
the gubernatorial nomination.although
some would like to see O'Brien run
for the Supreme Court.
People in the Oberiin and Enhaut
districts are inclined to be somewhat
critical of the manner in which poli
tics has been played by
the Democratic bosses in
their ordering of the ap- Juggling
pointments of poor phy- With Poor
sicians by Messrs. Boyer Hoard .lobs
and Walters. In that
district Dr. M. O. Putt,
of Oberiin. who has been independent
in Republican affairs, has been
dropped as physician and Dr. H. C.
•Myers, of Steelton, named in his place.
This means that people in the district
have to go clear to Steelton for atten
tion instead of having a physician in
their midst. Another example of the
way the public service is being juggled
to suit the schemes of the bosses is the
selection of Dr. U. R. Schaeffer, of
Hurnmelstown, as physician for por
tions of Conewago, Derry and London
derry, some of which are miles away
front the doctor's office. That economy
about which so much was said this
morning seems to have been a cloud
of dust to hide some other things.
Congressman Palmer did not attend
the banquet of local Democrats at the
| Hotel Casey, in Seranton, last night,
a letter arriving during the
day giving the excuse of
Palmer previous engagements.

Scranton ent were Fourth Assistant

that the banquet represented a Pal

AX ANTIDOTE FOR PESSIMISM
[Editor and Publisher]
It does one's heart good to road over
the statistics presented In a bulletin
Issued this week by the Department of
Agriculture. If there Is anyone who
thinks the country Is going to the
dogs he ought to go into a quiet room
somewhere and sit down and let the
information it contains slowly per
meate the Intricate chambers of his
brain. When he frets through read
ing it, he will, if he is honeat, feel like
going out and spending real money.
According to the Secretary of Agri
culture the value of farm products for
1913 reaches the Incomprehensible
sum of $9,750,000,000. Of this amount
$6,100,000,000 represents the value of
all the crops and $3,650,000,000 the
farm value of animals sold and slaugh
tered and of animal products. The!
net farm Income Is $4,074,027,499,
which, you will admit, is a tidy little
sum to tuck away In stockings and
other receptacles for savings.
ASSAULTS ON BUSINESS
[From the Philadelphia Public Lodger.]
The great aggressive business enter
prises of this country ask no favors:
they ask justice and a respite from
assault originating in hostility foment
ed tor political buncombe. The power
ful corporations are not only doing their
own work but the nation's work, whilw
they render the public a service In
cheaper goods and high quality. The
work which they are doing for the
country consists in invading the marts
of the world and in affording employ
ment at high wages at home for tens
of thousands of men.
Their energy and successful efTort
fills the channels of trade and enlivens
the seats of industry at home; moves
the wheels of the railroads, stimulates
manufactures, pays labor and rewards
the farmer. Great business has been
under fire and it still has Its burdens to
carry. Organized labor proposes If it
can. to control industt-j», and that is a
serious question which must be settled.
Meanwhile if the Government has any
duty with respect to business it con
sists in permitting energy and capital
to concentrate their attention upon the
business itself and not upon an attack
from the rear.
