SATURDAY F,VEXING, JAXUARY 17 CITY PIjAXNIXG AXD TREES CARE of the shade tree* of any city is so important that the in difference of Harrisburg in tho past to the shade tree law is «lmost inexplicable, especially in view of tho fact that within the last few months tho tree butcher lias resumed hi ß activities in a way that has aroused indignation and fresh interest In the 'whole proposition of a shade tree com mission, authorized by tho act of the legislature. It may be possible that tho duties of such a board could be added to those of a City Planning Commission so that the Important •work of both might be prosecuted harmoniously. Citizens who have observed the careless and disastrous "trimming" of fine shade troes throughout the city are Impressed with the importance of Some definite authority over the trees. Objection to a commission which would have such authority has been based largely upon the assumption that there would bo interference with private rights. This is a view so nar row and unreasonable that the City Council should glvo It little consid eration. We realize that our new municipal administration is engrossed with many things at the beginning of the year, but it would appear to require little thought to reach the wise conclusion that the best interests of the city would be conserved in the creation of the City Planning and Shade Tree Commission. Such a commission would relieve the Council of many embar rassing problems which demand care ful investigation and study and which «.re-separate and apart from the rou tine duties of any of the present de partments of the city government. Now Is tho time that much of the planning for the year should be under ■way so that with the opening of spring the work can go forward. Harrlsburg has been advantaged in a large way through the expert coun sel provided from time to time by the iseveral commissions and boards and *he present Park Board, which has so (unselfishly and efficiently served the Icity, ought to be requested to take up the worlc that would naturally come ■under the supervision of the city plan ning department without further delay. There is ample opportunity for our to display their energy and initiative In the ordinary admin istration of the city and It ought not to be expected that they should also assume the special work involved in city planning and tho development of •the esthetic features of our municipal Jlfe. Judging from the shop windows it yet remains for somebody to devise a safe and sane St. Valentine's day. Going down tn a submarine is still «.bout as uncertain as going up in an filrship. "How shall we curb the speed maniac?" asks an automobile journal. By building engines of less speed ca pacity. BOSTON'S SHAME BECAUSE good citizens would not go to the polls' in Boston on Tuesday that city has as its mayor a man denounced as a "political Zapata," backed by an or ganization known as the Tammany club and modeled on the shameful or ganization that has been responsible for so much bad government in New Tork. Thomas J. Kenny, the unsuccessful candidate, a Democrat supported by Bepubllcans and Progressives, was plainly the man for the office. He has a good record and stood pledged to those things which are unquestionably for the best Interests of the city. The candidate elected is Congressman Cur ley, also a Democrat, and a profes sional politician In the worst sense of the word, if one Is to believe even a fraction of what has been said of him by the newspapers of Boston and his opponents during the campaign. The reasons for Kenny's defeat and Curley's election are not hard to find. The "good citizen" remained at home and did not vote. Curley's friends played practical politics to the limit. They got out the vote to the extent of some 6,000 more than were record- SATURDAY EVENING, Ed for his opponent. So long as the "respectable element" takes small In terest In politics, so long- will it be easy for men of the Curley type to win at the polls. The story of the. Polish millionaire who swallowed $60,000 of pearls in mistake for pills, is doubtless true. He is not an actor and has no publicity agent. AID FOR JAPAX WHEN suffering humanity calls, Americans know no race nor creed, they hold no grudges and are Quick to forget petty differences. Always they have given ' promptly and generously wherever the ; pail of disaster has fallen upon any ! people. So it is not to be wondered at that they are already dipping deeply into their well-fllled pockets to aid Japan in the hour of her trouble. The situation is this: Thousands of people have been rendered homeless and without means of support by the terrible earthquakes, volcanic erup tions and tidal waves of the past week. The Japanese are a frugal people, but not rich. Thousands of them subsist year In and year out on a wage that would spell starvation to even the humblest American. Their national treasury has been depleted by recent wars. They are doing all they can for their fellow-countrymen In distress, but their means are not adequate to the emergency. They need the charity of the world just now and it is pleas ant to note the generous response to the call in tho United States. We shall expect to hear that Cali fornia, rabid anti-Japanese State that it appears to be, is sending thousands of dollars to the aid of the stricken Japanese, not forgetting how ready the world stood to assist San Fran cisco In tho dark hour following tho earthquake there. A dairyman living near Wapwallopen the other day found a bee tree contain ing. large quantities of wild-honey. We had never thought of Wapwallopen as a land of milk and honey. It is natural, perhaps, for a "bone head" to be constantly "butting in." PRICES OF WOOLENS WE are told that Louis XIV, who made war upon his neighbors to gratify an arn bition to increase the number of his subjects, found himself after annexing much additional territory with fewer people to rule them at the outstart, due to the large numbers of soldiers lost on both sides during the conflicts that preceded his acquisi tions. The prince's arithmetic resem bles in many respects that of our Democratic friends who convinced themselves and almost all of us that if the tariff were removed from wool the price of clothing would be greatly reduced to the American wearer. Take off the duty, they said, and (with true Democratic disregard for the effect on American farmers and wool growers) the foreign cloth-maker will come in with his cheap goods, down will go prices, and everybody wearing clothing will be benefitted. We confess It did sound reasonable, although a majority of Republicans were quite willing to pay a little more for their trousers to the end that an American industry might not be en dangered. But, like the arithmetio of the am bitious' Louis, the calculations of our Democratic friends were made with out considering the natural unwilling ness of the foreigner to give something for nothing. Says the Philadelphia Ledger, an independent newspaper that has been trying to see the new tariff law in its most favorable light: Notwithstanding the reduction in tho tariff on woolens, the consumer will not materially benefit thereby, except that he may get a little bet ter fabric in 1914 for the same amount of money that he paid in 1913. This is due to the fact that tho manufacturers abroad decided to advance prices previous to the paHsage of the Underwood-Simmons bill, and again added extra six pences after the law became an en actment. This boost to prices was expected here, because the foreign producers had always sold their output to their own colonies, where they could get a better price, and did not try to market in the United States, except in the higher-priced woolens. Now that there has been a revision of the tariff downward in woolens, they aro in a position to compete with the domestic manu facturers. Like the European shoe-maker, the foreign wool weaver Is going to In vade our markets, selling his goods at a figure that will enable him to compete successfully with American made goods in a wholesale way, but ho lius no intention of selling at a figure that will bo of any material benefit to the consumer. The big effect of the now tariff law, so far as It can be seen now, will be to increase profits and wages in foreign manu factures at the expense of the Amer ican manufacturer and the American workman. Many a "tired businessman" gets that way by trying to make prompt collec tions. A skidding automobile knocked a Philadelphia woman into a millinery shop. Few women require such force ful Inducement. THE HEAL. CURE DR. EVANS, in the health col umn he edits for the Chicago T-rlbunc, publishes a course of treatment for "J. C.," a corres pondent who asks him for a "prescrip tion to use after a hard day's drunk, or even after several days of spree ing." Dr. Evans instructs "J. C." as to the most modern and scientific methods of getting rid of a hangover jag, but by far the most important of his advice is contained In the heading to the paragraph and to a postscript after thought. "Cut Out the Rum," says the head line and then, to emphasize the*, thought—"quit drinking; men of good Judgment have quit that some time ago." in other words, the best way to avoid the consequences of being drunk is Dot to get drunk—"Cut out the rum." We are willing to sell our share of winter weather for a nickel and pay all [delivery charges, the more distant the I destination the better evening cftdr j The guides at the Capitol have solved the problem of explaining the paintings on the walls of the hall of | the House of Representatives and | lectures to classes" are now the or r*i rot , , lhe day - Every day guides take visitors with lots of time through the building and they like to explain the remarkable paintings in the var ious apartments of the building. Every guide has the descriptive end down pat. However it takes some time to get through the numerous paintings 1 House, which require staring at the celling and looking at various I " el ffhts on the walls. The other day ! a guide had a party in the open space in rront of the members' desks and they almost twisted off their heads. Next trip Mr. Guide had a semicircle or chairs placed around the edge of the open space and he courteously in vited the trippers to be seated. Then he gave his lecture on the Apotheosis, on the making of the treaty, the read ing of the Declaration, the drilling of the raw recruits by Von Steuben in nM? Valle >' Forge and the Flight of Hours all in ease and com fort for everyone. And the visitors were so delighted that they wanted to sit down in the Governor's recep tion room. Unfortunately that does not lend itself so well to lecturing purposes as the hall of the House. Art classes" are now one of the fea tures of a trip through the building. Ministers from this section of the State have solved the problem of get ting some practical use out of their reduced rate tickets from the rail roads, according to stories which are current about Union Station. The clerical reduced rate cards issued by the railroad companies state that the courtesy of a reduced rate is extended for inter-state travel only as full fare must be paid for traveling within the State. In the last week three or four ministers presented their clerical rate cards arid bought tickets for Glass boro, N. J. This town is just beyond Camden and is practically over the Delaware river from Philadelphia. The trip is an inter-state one and tho clerical rate to Glassboro and return is considerably less than the full rate to Philadelphia and return, which is an intra-state trip. Whether the clergymen really went over to Glass boro or not deponent knoweth not. The action of the State Water Sup ply Commission in hurrying an engi neer to the scene of the break in the dam near Dobbin, W. Va., is stated by officials of the commission to have given an opportunity for some valu able information 011 the question of dams. Ever since the Austin disaster the State has been making efforts to secure data about dams of all styles and sixes and about 400 dams have been inspected and when they have been destroyed the condition of the structure has been noted. The break ing of thfi West Virginia dam will be made the subject of an exhaus tive study by the engineers with a view to applying it to tho problems of con struction and operation in this State, which will some day affect tho Sus quehanna. The Rev. Dr. M. D. Lichleitor, of Pittsburgh, who presided at the ses sions of the Federation of Historical Societies in the Capitol on Thursday, is an active member of the Western Pennsylvania Society and has made a number of interesting contributions to the local history of Allegheny county. He is especially well versed in Colonial affairs and In the governmental sys tems which prevailed in the early counties of tho western part of the State. Dr. Lichleiter delivered the ad dress of the president at the meeting on Thursday, this duty devolving upon him as second vice-president. The first vice-president was absent and the president, ex-Representative George Moscrlp, of Towanda, having died. Dr. Lichleiter gave an extended report on the year. Edgar R. Kiess, the Congressman from the Williainsport district, was here yesterday 011 his way home from Washington. Mr. Kiess remarked to friends that he planned to spend to day at Eaglesmere, as though a moun tain covered with two feet of snow of fered no obstacles to a trip these days.

These parties, which are required to ! make all their nominations at the pri | maries, are Democratic, Washington, Republican, Socialist, Bull Moose, Keystone, Roosevelt Progressive and Prohibition, being given in the order of tho size of their vote last fall. Other parties must use nomination papers. The book says; "All previous regis trations have expired" and "if a voter's name is not registered he shall not be entitled to vote at any election." The registration days for all cities are Sep tember 3 and 15 and October 3. In first and second class cities the regis tration day for voters who were not registered for the November election, IP 13, to enable them to vote at the primary this spring, Is April 15. In third class cities this day is April 29. The assessors in other districts, bor oughs and townships, will sit at polling places March 17 and 18. The dates to bear In mind arc: Primary election, May 19, and gen eral election, November 3. The first day for secur ing signatures on peti tions for nominations Is Dnt«s To February 21.

One of the Interesting things about the election this year is that it will be the first time that the people have been called upon to , nominate United New Tilings States senatorial can hi 1914 dldates and then elect Elections them by popular vote. The Supremo Court Justices will also be nominated by popular vote, although It will be on a nonpartisan ballot for the first time. The year bids fair to be as productive of interesting things in the way of "first times" as it will be of political situations out of the or dinary. Dr. Hugh Hamilton was the speak er at the weekly meeting of the Cen tral Democratic Club last night, dis cussing citizenship. Dr. Hamilton spoke about the dominance of the Dr. Hamilton Anglo-Saxon race and Addresses aigued that thß Dcm- Democrats ocrats were the per sons to have charge of the government of the United btates. The doctor made an earnest plea for the Democratic voters to stand by President Wilson In his poli cies and to convert their neighbors to support of the nation's chief. It was announced that Charles S. Prizer, of Middletown, who Is a single taxer, would speak on the currency law on January 30 and that C. S. Leftwlch would talk in February on the Pana ma canal. The friends of William Draper Lewis, the Philadelphia professor, have started a movement to put him to the front for the Pro- gresslve nomination for Lewis governor, notwlthstand to Be ing the sentiment ex- Boomeri pressed in favor of State Treasurer R. K. Young for the nomination by the militant Bull Moosers here on Thursday. It is said to be certain that nominating petitions for Lewis would be started In February and men who do not like the Flinn manner of managing the party will line up behind the dean. It is probable that the faction headed by Dripps will start the Lewis boom. Flinn is said to be convinced that English would liavo no show and is now said to be committed to Young. President Wilson will butt into the Pennsylvania political Held this Fall, just as he did in New Jersey last year and in his role of national boss of the Democrats will endea- President vor to throw out Ryan Will Take us a nomination pos- Hand Hcrfc sibility, in the opinion' of some people. It Is said in Philadelphia that the Presi dent has caught the scare among the Democrats over the probability that ex-Governor Stuart may be a candi date again and is declared to be seri ously considering an order to Secre tary of Labor Wilson to be a candi date. Wilson is said to be annoyed at the width of the breach between the factions of the Democracy In this State and believes that the labor man can .eret them together. 1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS I —That Stuart boom seems to be dis turbing Democratic dreams. —"Dick" Quay is now being ad vanced for State leader of the Progres sives.

PUSS HEARING 111 BE NOTABLE EVENT Representatives of Railroad Men's and Other Organizations Are Coining Here TWO RAILROADS HEARD FROM They Want a Chance to Make Statements About Their Po sition on Passes Two railroad companies, one of the brotherhoods and railroad men of various sections, clergymen and hos pital and charitable associations ltavo arranged with the Public Service Com mission to be represented at the hear ing on the relation of the public ser vice company law to passes on rail roads, free transportation for police men and firemen, free water or cur rent to religious and charitable insti tutions, clerical rates on railroads and other questions. The hearing is to be held In the Capitol next Tuesday and it Is expected that it will be one of the largest ever held. Over a score of questions have been raised for deter mination by the commission and nu merous letters asking for rulings have been received. The Lehigh Valley and Western Maryland Railroad Companies have notified the commission of intention to be represented at tho hearing when the question of validity of contracts with men for transportation for fami lies as a reward of merit for certain lengths of service without unfavorable reports will be brought up. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has engaged Senator E. E. Beidleman, of tills city, to speak for them and the railroad men of the Pittsburgh district have asked Speakor George E. Alter to present their case. It is probable that attorneys representing railroad men of Philadelphia, Scran ton and Reading will also attend. It is not the Intention of the com mission to limit the hearing and the two or three protests filed by indi viduals against the Issuance of passes to families of railroad men will be heard as well as the advocates of free service. On January 21 the hearing in tho physical valuation of Bell Telephone Company properties in tho proposed rate schedule will be resumed. Henry C. Dyer, 31 tt North Nine teenth street, Philadelphia, has filed with the commission a protest against the granting of free passes to any other than the actual employes of the railroads. He says that the employes of other public service companies have as much right and reason to receive for their families the service they help to produce. The trolleymen should, with equal justice, receive free transportation for their families; the electric light men, free electric light; a man In the gas works, free gas, and so on through the whole list. J. J. Brooks, general counsel of the Pennsylvania Lines Went, In writing: to the commission concerning the pass question, says that he has given considerable reflection to the subject, and, while he concedes that there is a good deal of complication about it and uncertainty as to the best course to pursue, he is inclined to the opinion that it Is something to be disposed of with better reason and propriety by the Legislature than by the commis sion or the courts. The Ironton Railroad Company ob jects to the order of the commission regarding drinking water in passenger cars, on the ground that the longest time that any passenger has been on one of its trains Is thirty minutes. The Citizens' Electric Illuminating Company, of Plttston, which furnishes electric light In the borough of Ex eter, has filed a protest with the Public Service Commission against the ap proval of a contract between the bor ough and the Consumers' Electric Company for similar service on the ground that there has never been any complaint as to the sufficiency of the Bervlce now being furnished, nor as to the reasonableness of the rates charged therefor. The matter will be heard by the commission on Tuesday next. Jgfl BOOKS «nd pj| A unique contribution to the phil osophy of living is Dr. Richard C. Cabot's "What Men Live By," which will be published January 31 by Hough ton Mifflin Company. Taking up the four issues—work, play, love and worship—Dr. Cabot considers them in all their aspects and gives an Inspiring argument for their healing and preven tive powers. The practical nature of the book may be glimpsed by the sub ject divisions under "Work." They are "Work, Play and Drudgery;" "The Call of the Job as a Doctor Hears It;" "The Joy of Work;" "The Points of a Good Job;" "The Reproach of Commercial ism;" "The Glory of Raw Material;" "The Radiations of Work;" "Work and Loyalty;" "The Rewards of Work." A little volume of interest to writers and editors will be published January 31 by Houghton Mifflin Co. under the title "Handbook of Style In Use at the Riverside Press." It presents briefly the rules of grammar and syntax In force at the Riverside Press, and gives s few practical suggestion to authors and editors regarding the preparation of copy. Houghton Mifflin Co. announce a sec ond printing of Charles S. Olc.ott's lit erary-travel "The Country of Sir Walter Scott," snd a, third printing of "The Little Book of Modern Verse, by Jessie B.

Man agers, with a few notable exceptions, do not appear to care what effect on the community the plays produce if only people will go to them. They are In business, buying and selling amuse ment, or education, or uplift, or what you wilt, but they are primarily buyers and sellers. If someone can tell how to induce these enterprising business men to un derstand the damning effect of some of tho plays the theater will rise to its opportunities. The theater manager who presents an Immoral play and in vites young men and women to see it Is Injuring his city. HEHSGI, AT THE FIVE O'CLOCK CLITB , "These are queer days.
