omil SERVICE
AS an example of the manner in
which the Wilson administra
tion is attempting to keep its
pre-election promises of politi
cal reform, one need no more than
quote the following "rider" from the
post office appropriation bill reported
to Congress by a Democratic commit
tee dominated by Speaker Clark, Rep
resentative Underwood and President
Wilson:
That hereafter any assistant post
master to secure faithful perform
ance of official duty may be ap
pointed by said Postmaster Gen
eral, who may require such bond
without regard to the provisions of
an act of Congress entitled "an act
to regulate and Improve tho civil
service of the United States, ap
proved January 16, ISB3, and
amendments thereto," and tho
Postmaster Geenral shall have
power to revoke the appointment
of any assistant postmaster and
appoint Ills successor at Ills discre
tion without regard to the act,
amendments, rules or regulations
aforesaid.
A more brazen attempt to eliminate
the merit system in order to grab offices
Tor greedy Job-hunters was never
jna,de in Congress. The very language
of the "rider" Is Indicative of Its de
sign. There is no attempt to conceal
the fact that it is the purpose of those
who framed it to throw out of office
hundreds of assistant postmasters who
have attained their present positions
as the result of competitive examina
tions.
Selected on account of especial fit
ness and qualified by long experience
for the work they perform, they are
to be thrown out to make place for
those who happen to be the political
favorites of local Democratic bosses.
There has not been a national Dem
ocratic platform In a score of years
that has not protested against the
"spoils system" in national govern
ment and that has not declared In
vigorous language for the perpetuation
and the extension of the Civil Service.
Yet we find Democrats elected upon
ruch a platform openly trying to jam
through the most flagrant violation of
Civil Service pledges that has ever
been attempted by any party.
President Wilson has been fond of
telling visitors to the White House
that he can do nothing that the Balti
more platform does not endorse. We
jtanay he will find It difficult to make
the program of his lieutenants tally
•with his own requirements In this re
spect.
At all events It is gratifying to note
tfiat Republican Congressmen are
fighting for the retention of the merit
requirement# and it is to be hoped
that they will find sufficient consistent
Democrats to stand with them in pre
venting the wholesale distribution of
■what Democrats used lo be so fond of
describing as "pap" and "pic."
Automoblltats should not rejoice too
much over tne discovery that crude oil
can be used as motor fuel. About the
time it becomes popular some good ex
cuse for raising the price will be
found.
COOKING DIPLOMAS FOR BRIDES
A CERTIFICATE of proficiency
In the domestic arts should be
given away with each and every
bride, according to H. L. Jones,
r wealthy farmer of Geneva, 111., and
that Is why he threw in a certificate
for good measure when he gave his
daughter, Millieent, in marriage to
Merton Arniagast, of Jollet.
Jones' idea is based on the old
adage that the way to a man's heart
is through his stomach, and that bad
cooks spoil happy homes. When Mr.
Armagast asked the father's consent
to the marriage, Mr. Jones replied:
"You can have my daughter, but not
until she learns to cook."
Whereupon Miss Jones foreswore
social life and went away to a school
of domestic science. The other day
■he returned with a diploma in cook
ery. Immediately the couple were
married.
There is more than the germ of a
pretty little romance tucked away in
this entertaining yarn. It contains
«om« wholesotne lessons. In the first
place it is evident that while Mr. Jones
entertains some practical ideas of
housekeeping and the duties a wife
owes to her husband, his wife does
not, else there would have been no
need for the ftelated domestic course.
Too many mothers are like her. Too
WEDNESDAY EVENING
I many daughters are the victims of
over-indulgent parents.
I Prom the time a boy is knee-high
Ito his father the family looks for
ward to and discusses a career for
him. Preparation for work Is be
gun with his first day in school. But
while a large majority of girls are
destined to become wives and mothers,
very many of them—and this applies
especially to those of families whose
income Is more than necessary to meet
the ordinary needs of life are en
couraged to believe that household
work is" menial and that the nurse
girl is a proper substitute for the
mother-care.
Mr. Jones has the right idea, but it
came to him a little late. No girl
should marry who does not know how
to conduct a home. If her prospec
tive husband told her that he intended
to hire an entirely Inexperienced man
to superintend his business the aver
age young woman would shy oft from
him as a man scarcely fit to consider
as a life-mate. Yet she thinks noth
ing of offering hor own services as
housekeeper without a knowledge of
the first fundamentals of the art of
housekeeping, for art it is. It re
quires managing abilities of no mean
order to successfully conduct the af
fairs of a home and a reputation for
fine cookery is more to be desired than
skill in water color or ombroidery, and
certainly of much more real worth to
the family fortunate to possess such a
one.
Many a young man who tells his girl
that he would gladly lay down his life
for her is careful not to come In the
front gate until he Is sure the dog is
tied.
EVERYBODY 18 INTERESTED
THE Pennsylvania Good Roads
Association, In appointing a
State organizer and announcing
its intention of making a State
wide effort to popularize the good
roads movement in Pennsylvania, is
taking a course that will commend It
to the friends of better highways.
The good roads movement is, or
ought to be, essentially a people's
movement. To some extent this has
been lost sight of in the perfectly
natural effort of the farmer to oxert
his utmost effort for ryral roads, the
automoblllst to demand main highways
and the city people to Insist on Im
proved avenues of travel to and from
their suburban homes. It Is un
doubtedly a fact that the general bet
terment of the roads In Pennsylvania
has been retarded by tho pulling and
hauling of conflicting Interests.
These Interests need not conflict
They will all fare better by taking the
larger view of the good roads ques
tion, as voiced In the announced policy
of the Pennsylvania Good Roads Asso
ciation, to the effect that better high
ways have an economic and ethical
value to all the people far more Im
portant than any benefit that may ac
crue to a particular class of road
users.
The man who never himself tra-|
verses the public roads, If there be
any such, Is vitally Interested In this
matter, because of the Improvement
to tho whole community that follows
the improvement of Its highways. A
piece of literature put out by the
above-mentioned association contains
the following pointed summary of the
situation:
"Everybody everywhere is all the
time paying something for roads.
Everybody everywhere is paying more
for poor roadp than for good roads."
It has been estimated that bad roads
are costing the people of Pennsylvania
at least 120,000,000 a year. Every
citizen bears a part of this needless
burden, and it is the duty of every
citizen, from the standpoint of his
own interest as well as that of the
community at large, to lend a hand In
the effort to "pull Pennsylvania out of
the mud."
■ Those who have been "on the water
wagon" since the first of the year will
doubtless now take opportunity to get
off and skate.
QUEER ENCOURAGEMENT
IN a long dispatch from Boston set
ting forth the new spirit of opti
mism which is said to have taken
possession of manufacturers and
businessmen in New England, a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger accounts for the alleged change
of sentiment in this way:
Ground for encouragement is
found also In the reports from Eng
land that the woolen cloth weavers
there have been raising the price
of their goods. They say the lower
tariff will open our markets to
them, and that the demand for
their goods here is so great that
they cannot afford to sell them at
home at the old price. If the Eng
lish woolen cloth men are doing
this, they are doing only what the
Canadian lumber men did when the
duty on lumber was reduced a dol
lar a thousand feet, and what the
Canadian farmers did when the
duty on eggs was cut down to re
lieve the high cost of living.
The price of eggs did not come
down here, but ft went up In Can
ada, and many of the Canadian
lumber dealers added a dollar a
thousand to the price of their lum
ber.
Surely this is peculiar "ground for
encouragement!" We aro delighted
to hear that industrial confidence and
courage are improving in New Eng
land, but we should like to feel that
there is a more substantial cause for
it than that ascribed by the Lodger
correspondent.
If, as a result of increased Ameri
can demands for their goods, English
1 woolen cloth weavers are raising their
prices, that must mean the sale of
English goods in home markets pre
viously supplied by American manu
facturers. It must also mean that so
long as the condition exists, there will
be a reduction in the output of Amer
ican mills and a corresponding reduc
tion in the number of jobs for Ameri
can wage earners. As one tariff expert
pithily put it, "You cannot expect to
get wages at home for work done
abroad."
Of course, it is not to bo supposed
that the English manufacturer will
raise his prices to our protective tariff
level. To do that would be to build a
wnll against himself. His chances of
driving us out of our own market
would be no better than they were
before.
If he Is to get In and stay in, he
must sell Just a little more cheaply
than the American manufacturer can
afford to sell. He may go as cloSte to
that line as he pleases so long as he Is
on the right side of It. His prices may
be and will be infinitely above the
free trade, cheap labor level of the
United Kingdom, but they will always
be a shade below the standards of pro
tection-paid wage earners.
Such being the case, what is the
"ground for encouragement" In the
news from England? The only encour
aging feature we can see in it Is that,
although we are not going to have
the free trade prices that were prom
ised us, the British manufacturer Is
reasonably sure of getting rich on our
tariff law.
It develops that a Democrat Is a first
class reformer—when he Is not In office.
Civil Service publications please copy.
Secretary Bryan says he Is at a loss
to understand "unseen and unsuspected
attacks" made on him. May be they
are some of his chickens cdmlng home
to roost.
A man may be perfectly straight and
still follow his natural bent.

Harrisburg's younger folks have
taken to the hills. They have gotten
out their bobsleds and chair sleds and
other kind of sleds, including the kind
on which you go down flat, and are
huving a fine large time. The cold
weather and the light snow flurries
have caused the coasting to be very
flno on most of the slopes and while
the streets heading from tho "Ridge"
are no longer used because of trolley
lines there are still some good coast
ing places for the youngsters at points
where there are no dangerous cross
ings. Allison Hill affords numerous fine
coasting places and Reservoir Park Is
a very popular place. Still, people do
not have as much fun coasting as they
used to years ago. Market street
hill was the great place and one could
start at Thirteenth and go to Tenth.
Herr street Is still used, but tho trol
ley cars in Cameron prevent long
trips. Out in Twentieth and other
streets in that section there is excel
lent coasting. The fact that coasting
has declined in the streets which slope
from Sixth recalls how our fathers
used to coast off the old reservoir hill
which stood where the Central high
school now stands. The coasters used
to start away up high and go with a
series of bumps for a distance of
squares. But all those long coasting
stunts have passed away.
People who were fortunate enough
to be up with the sun yesterday morn
ing saw a beautiful sight in the skies.
The sun was coming up with a wealth
of gold and red and the moon was
sinking in tho west. The moon was
brilliant, as it was the night before
and last night, too, but it shone In
magnificent contrast to the glory of
tho orb of the day.
The State's new seed law, under
which any person desiring to have
seeds tested for private or Commer
cial purposes can do so, provided the
costs and a fee are paid to the State,
is resulting in cleaning up of the seed
supply in a rather unexpected way.
Most people who buy seeds have com
plained about the presence of thistles
or dodder and they blame the man
who sells them. Now the merchants,
who get their supplies from whole
salers, are looking after No. 1 and
asking that the State examine their
samples. The new law Is becoming a
sort of revenue raiser.
The meetings of tho City Council
are commencing to attract much more
attention than ever bestowed upon the
old Councils, except when some big
project was up. Every evening fol
lowing a Council meeting there is a
buzz of inquiry all over the city ana
people ask whose tenure of office
came to an end or what changes were
made. The new Council is a real news
producer, far better than anyone ex
pected. And it is characteristic of the
Harrisburg way of doing municipal
business that the lawmakers have
taken hold In a way that is winning
attention from other cities where the
operation of the new law has met
some snags.
Among people here for the Pro
gressive conference is M. T. Stokes, 1
publisher of one of the Coudersport
papers, who has been called the
stormy petrel of northern tier Jour
nalism. Mr. Stokes Is now defendant
in an action for libel brought by
ex-Judge Ormerod, who has held court
.here several times and who is well
known. They have had a bitter fight
and the court trial will be interesting.
The Rev. E. M. Mulock, who leaves
Paxton Church next week. Is the thir
teenth man to servo as pastor of the
historic church. Incidentally, he is a
Princeton man, and like the President,
who was former head of the univer
sity, he does not regard thirteen in an
unfavorable light. Mr. Mulock's pas
torate has certainly not been charac
terized by anything that suggests what
that much abused numeral is com
monly supposed to stand for.

BERRY BOOM ANNOYS MANY
Enemies of the Former Treasurer
and Chronic Office Seeker
on Warpath
According to advices from Wash
ington, colleagues of Congressman A.
I Mitchell Palmer will interrogate him
to-day or to-night as to whether he
has prepared an answer to their re
quest that he become a candidate for
governor, and if he continues to dodge
will demand to know whether ho is
behind the boom for ex-State Treas
urer William H. Berry, launched at
Scranton last week by E. J. Lynett,
the Scranton publisher who is close
to the Monroe congressman.
Folks in Washington believe that it
will take President Wilson to induce
Secretary William B. Wilson to be
come a candidate for the uncertain
Democratic nomination for governor
and the President Is said to desire to
keep the labor leader in his cabinet.
It is also intimated that Palmer is
awaiting a hint from the AVhite House
that he would be more valuable in
\\ ashlngton than as a. candidate for
governor and then he is expected to
say that he will not keep some more
deserving candidate out of the guber
natorial race, but will be a candidate
for United States senator.
Berry was the big speaker at a
Jackson day banquet at West Chester
last night and threw large floral set
pieces in the direction of the Presi
dent, but he laid low on State poli
tics. Judge E. C. Bonniwell, the chief
Ryun boomer, was also a speaker. ■
Democrats in this neck of the woods
are asking if it is true that Milton O.
Shearer, of Milton, has been named as

lector. They had been

hungry Democrats for some time. The
folks In this section who have been
carrying torches in parades and cheer
ing whenever told to are commencing
to wonder when the pie man is com
ing around. There should be some
nice appointments placed around
here.
Congressman Charles E. Patton, of
the Clearfield district, has started
things moving for the boom of Con
gressman W. D. B.
Ainey, of Susquehanna
Alney Boom county for the Repub-
WorrlOH a lican nomination for
Few Bosses senator. Ainey is be
ing boomed hard, but
has not said whether
he will be a candidate. The announce
ment did not appear to worry Sena
tor Penrose, although he said that he
would make his own announcement
in due season. The Progressives here
to-day were sputtering over the Alney
business and declaring that it was a
Penrose trick. It is not liked at Dem
ocratic State headquarters, either.
The Democratic bosses are so busy
that they get nervous over a move
ment in another party.
Scoutmaster Roland S. Morris is to
be sharply interrogated by some of
the Democrats of the State as to his
failure to give a ruling
on the question of elec
tion of a State chair- Morris
man. Everyone sup- Wants to
posed last year that the Ilold on
Democratic State com
mittee was included in
the committees which would have to
elect new State committeemen and
reorganize after the May primaries.
But the reorganization gangsters want
to hold on to the machine and are
now claiming that Morris must serve
out his term, which will run to De
cember 31. In this way they hope to
stave off an election which would re
sult In Morris being dumped.

—William Flinn seems to be amused
at that gubernatorial boom.
—Roland Morris is certainly some
expert in ducking questions about his
tenure of office.
—An effort is being made to get a

Maybe Palmer will speak out

"Fighting Modern Evils," a good
example of how to treat the delicate
subject of divorce is at hand in
"Fighting Modern Evils," a book by
Fred S. Miller. Mr. Miller hails from
Chicago, in which city the divorce
mill is popularly supposed to grind
Its hardest working overtime. What
ever his opportunities for observation
at first hand may have been, the au
thor has amassed a formidable array
of facts which ho presents with evi
dent sincerity and with vigor and in
terest. Students of social problems
will find much to attract them in
"Fighting Modern Evils" "which deals
not only with divorce, but with the
affinity and soul-mate, with fake re
ligious cults, dance halls in our large
cities and the conditions which raise
the question of a wage law for wom
en and children. Besides the facts and
the conclusions to be drawn for them,
the book includes chapters of narra
tive that read like stories of real life.
"Old Faiths For New" is good exam
ple of those; a delicately reared and
wealthy woman revealing the lures
and sophistries that made her a de
votee of a Persian sun-cult. "The
Child of Divorce" Is another story,
portraying the pathetic experiences of
a young girl whose mother was di
vorced and remarried. The affinity
subject is also treated in this matter.
The book is cleverly illustrated, espe
cially so in the narrative chapters.
