CITY PLANNING
SCIENTIFIC city planning lias
come to be one of the foremost
considerations of up-to-date
municipalities. The old hap
hazard method of throwing a town to
gether Is no longer to be tolerated. A
cowpath through a meadow was re
sponsible for the formation of the
principal street of a certain world
famed city, we are told, but the city
owed its growth and permanency to
something more than the fact that its
founders had no more thought for the
future than to liuild their houses after
the silly wanderings of a cow, which
■with nose to ground, followed merely
the line of most luxuriant pasturage, j
Mayor Joseph H. Gainer, of Provi
dence, R. 1., which has had just such
an awakening as 1-larrisburg has had
along public improvement lines, looks
upon the creation of a City Planning
Commission as the next important
step in the city's development. Writ
ing of the future of Providence, in a
tecent issue of The Rotarian, Mayor
Gainer says:
One of the committees of our
city council has recently reported
favorably upon the establishment
of such a Civic Plan Commission.
Its adoption by our city government
is practically assured. Tho estab
lishment of this commission I feel
certain will be a great help to our
further development.
In tho same issue of The Rotarian
appears an article of tho same im
port from Winona, Minn., written by
James R. Kinsloe, formerly of Harris- J
burg and secretary-manager of the ■
Winona Association of Commerce, set- |
ting forth the efforts Winona is mak
ing to obtain the right to create a city j
planning commission. The city is urg- ;
lng the charter commission to provide j
for the appointment of such a body, |
"with authority to prepare maps and ,
make careful studies of the city's re- j
sources, possibilities and needs, with j
special reference to civic complete-'
ness."
These are merely isolated examples
of what is being done the country
over. Everywhere up-to-date cities!
are incorporating in their ordinance!
books provisions for city planning on j
a scientific and comprehensive scale.
All that Harrisburg has to do to;
Veep abreast of the times in this re- i
spect is to put Into operation tho city |
planning commission bill passed by j
the last session of the Legislature.

THE LITERACY TEST
F the framers of the new immigra-
Ition bill have their way no Immi
grant will be admitted to the
United States who cannot read
and write.
Of all nonsensical immigration
measures proposed this is the limit.
So long as a man keeps out ol jail
In the country from which ho comes,
there Is to be 110 bar to his residence
In this country. If he is able to scrawl
a few lines across a sheet and to stag
ger through a few sentences from the
page of a book he shall be qualified
for entry and eventual citizenship.
The literacy test involves absolutely
no virtue as a solvent of the economi
cal problems involved in the subject
of immigration. The clause as framed
in tho present bill Is impracticable,
unjust In its operation and would in
volve the creation of additional po
litical places In connection with the
Immigration service. This Jatter was
one of the reasons why President Taft
vetoed a similar measure, and it is
probably one of the reasons why job
hungry Democrats are champion-!
lng It.
It may not have occurred to those
in charge of the bill that by this test
they would bar from the country the'
very class of immigrants we most
need. Our present-day conditions do
not demand educated Immigrants. We
have plenty of our own people to fill;
the offices and to provide practically
all of the skilled labor required. But j
we do stand In serious need of the i
European peasant, used to hard man-!
ual labor and willing to begin at the I
bottom here in order that his children !
Bhall have the opportunities for ad-!
vancement iliat only America offers.

"•come out of the West" to take places
of honor at the national capital, and
who have occupied the seats of the
mighty in the nation's financial me
tropolis, New York. Shall we bar from
our shores a parentage such as this?
Do not those who are urging the adop
tion of this literacy teat realize that
had It been in force a century since
many of their own ancestors would
have been barred from the shores of
this continent and they themselves
doomed to a heritage of poverty and
European peasant life?
President Wilson says he is not In
the habit of talking- when he lias noth
ing to say. And even at that, he is

tle public criticism.
JAPAN'S NEED OF AID
HOW poorly equipped Japan is
to provide adequate relief for
its stricken people in the
earthquake zone is shown by
Associated Press reports of the ex
tensive economic depression with
which that country is now contending.
In the northeastern section a fa
mine has made the situation particu
larly acute. In some cases schools
have had to close because there was
no money to pay the teachers and be
cause the children, weak from lack of
food, were unable to attend. The
Hokkaido government has asked the
central government to advance $15,-
000,000 for relief funds.
The chief cause of the general de
pression, which began about the time
of the death of Emperior Mutsuhito,
is the heavy taxation of the people
which is necessary to pay the interest
on the national debt of over a billion
dollars. The wave of elation among
the people at the close of the victori
ous war with Russia and a patriotic
business boom also caused a general
rise in the standard of living and the
price of commodities soared as a re
sult of the more luxurious level of ex
penditure. Then came reaction. This
was due to the burden of extraordi
nary taxes to meet the war debt and
constant expedltures in the building
up of a big army and navy.
The government, however, is at
tacking the problem heroically by
making heavy retrenchments. Much
to the dissatisfaction of the army, it
has been decided to abandon, for the
present at least, the long-standing
proposal to create two more military
divisions. Baron Takahashi, the min
ister of finance, promises a reduction
of taxes to lighten the burdens of the
people.
All this to illustrate the need of gen
erous contributions to the Red Cross
fund now being collected in America
for the relief of the homeless and
helpless victims of one of the greatest
disasters in modern history. Also, It
proves pretty conclusively that Japa
nese war talk is talk, and talk only.
A country Qf Japan's resources, shoul
dered with a billion-dollar debt and
suffering from a financial depression
at home, is, to say the least, not in a
position to seriously consider under
taking a war the outcome of which
could be nothing but national defeat,
even though I hat end be long de
layed.
ACCESS TO WTI.DWOOI)
PARK COMMISSIONER McFAR
LAND has very properly called
attention in a communication to
our esteemed morning contem
porary to the necessity for a proper
street railway extension in Wildwood
Park. This great park is one of the
playgrounds of the people and every
possible provision should be made for
easy access to Wildwood Lake and the
park generally.
Apparently all that is needed is the
construction of a roadway along the
bluff, as provided in the priglnal plan,
and this is one of the first things that
should be taken tip by the park au
thorities.
While there are many excellent Re
publicans available for the guberna
torial nomination this year, the con
sensus uf Republican sentiment ap
pears to be rapidly concentrating in the
neighborhood of Edwin S. Stuart, the
former Governor, who is being strongly
urged by all his friends in this part
of the Commonwealth to permit
the use of his name in the
primary election. Republicans show
no signs of being panic-stricken
over the noise of their opponents, and
the next few weeks will probably de
velop a strong fighting line.
Whether it shall be Senator Penrose
or some other distinguished Republican
who will win in the race as standard
bearer for the United States Senate this
year, the ambitious gentlemen of other
parties may as well arrive at the con
clusion now. as they must later, that
the.days of rant and hysteria in Penn
sylvania are about at an end. The
conservative judgment of the State is
on the side of sanity and good govern
ment as against demagogy and false
pretense.
Now that all of those naughty,
naughty Carahao diners have promised
never, never to do it again, perhaps the
President will be able to pass an army
officer without imagining that he in
tends to make a face as soon as the
Presence passes.
Huerta isn't pressed for money. Why
should he be with a mint still working
and a few perfectly good printing
presses at hand?
Somebody has suggested Grant's
birthday as a national holiday, but we
could hardly expect the South to enter
very heartily into such a celebration.
The force of habit Is well Illustrated
by the number of Harrisburj?ers who
try the door of the old Post Office, look
surprised for a moment and then try to
sneak away before anybody notices
their mistake.
"Oh, for the music of the sleigh-bell,"
mourns a rural exchange. Tush! Doesn't
the writer know that the sleigh-bell
rings the knell of the coal pile?
Why not add a psycho-motor ward

maniacs? .
Ifewnrofr CEATI
There passed through Harrlsburg
yesterday one of the first cyclecars
that has ever been seen In this city.
It bore an Indiana tag and appeared to
be none the worse for the bad roads
it had encountered, skimming light
ly across the Mulberry street bridge
apparently on Its way to Philadelphia.
The occupants did not pause in Har
rlsburg, being bent on making the
most of the daylight hours. The car
that passed through Harrlsburg yes
terday had some of the characteristic
marks of both the automobile and the
bicycle, the combination from which it
derives Its rather Inadequate name.
It had a wheel base of perhaps 80 or
90 inches and its wheels and engine
were evidently modeled along the
lines of those in the new style motor
cycles. It carried two men, one tuck
ed in behind the other, and appeared
to have plenty of speed and power for
its load. The whole effect was that
of efficiency and comfort embodied In
about the smallest space ever seen on
the streets of Harrlsburg In the form
of a motor driven vehicle. Several
dealers who saw the car predicted that
It will be only a short time until this
style of auto will be almost as numer
ous on the roads as the motorcycle
and expressed the belief that on ac
count of low first cost, fuel, economy
and general upkeep, the cycle car will
in many instances replace the run
about and roadster of to-day. The
car is popular in England, where it
originated, but comparatively few of
them are in use in this country.
The suburban street cars are joys
to behold these days. Every evening
they abound with poultry and garden
catalogus In the hands of eagerly
perusing enthusiasts. Scarcely a man
among the readers pauses to consider
that the winter is little more than
half spent. They are entertaining vis
ions of blooming gardens and flocks of
downey chicks. Both poultrymen
and seedmen say that Harrisburg has
more chicken raisers and gardeners
than almost any city of its size In the
country. Real estate men with subur
ban properties to rent or sell say that
among the first requirements are that
there shall be space for chicken coop
and garden.
The old days when going tb church
meant traveling miles through rugged
country and an all-day stay at the cen
ter of religious worship are recalled In
the custom of several of the local
churches In . serving luncheon to the
members on Sunday. Bethlehem Lu
theran Church, Cumberland and Green
streets, has arranged to serve the
members of the church who live at
a distance with a cold lunch and cof
fee after the morning church service.
Many who live on the outskirts of the
city and want to stay for evening ser
vice and Sunday school take advantage
of the plan. Several years ago the
same custom existed at Market Square
Presbyterian Church.

[New York Sun]
Senator Hoar's opinion, given on
: April 22, 1891, was produced, yellow
I with age, at one of the hearings last
i summer in the Steel suit. The object
of its production was, of course, to
I throw light upon the bona fides which
actuated these pooling arrangements
: in the steel and wire trade,
i Senator Hoar answered his clients
I emphatically that the agreements were
; perfectly legal. He based his opinion
|on a long series of decisions in this
country and in English courts holding
| that such agreements constituted 110
1 restraint of trade, and looked forward
'to the saving of property from destruc
; tive competition, tho protection of
i property rather than anything else. A
I manufacturer was entitled to have be-
I fore him the prospect of reasonable
permanence in his business, and if any
(business had become wasted and dis
organized by cutthroat competition, as
the steel and wire trade previously had
been, it was not only perfectly proper
! hut highly praiseworthy for the manu
facturers to make the agreements in
question. Senator Hoar pointed out
that there was no distinction in princi
ple between a contract of workingmen
not to work for less than a stipulated
sum in wages and a contract of em
ployers not to sell their products for
less than a stipulated sum. Both of
these contracts were for the legitimate
protection of those making them and
they were not contracts for any un
lawful or oppressive design.
All this seems pretty straight com
mon sense to-day, and there is no ques
tion that it represented the view both
of the courts and the lawyers of the
country at the time Senutor Hoar
wrote.

GETTING TOGETHER
State Chairman Crow Plans Revi
sion of Party Rales
in State
SENATOR PENROSE OPTIMISTIC
Stuart Has Many Friends; Demo
cratic Nominations Are
Discussed
Senator William E. Crow, chairman
of the Republican State committee,
has taken Initial steps to provide a
set of rules for the Republican party
In Pennsylvania.
When the Flinn faction got posses
sion of the Republican party State
convention In the Roosevelt sweep a
motion was adopted rescinding all
party rules and no substitute code of
rules was adopted.
Chairman Crow has named as a
subcommittee to draft a set of rules
to be reported to the full State com
mittee the following:
D. Edward Long, Chambersburg,
Franklin county.
Josiah D. Hicks, Altoona, Blair
county.
L. C. Thomas, Latrobe, Westmore
land county.
Chairman Crow said he will call a
meeting of the Republican State com
mittee shortly to act upon the report
of the committee.
Senator Penrose, with whom Chair
man C row and other active Repub
licans were yesterday in conference,
said last evening that
all reports Indicate
TJ. S. Senator that the Republican
Penrose Is party In the State Is
Optimistic harmonious and ag
gressive.
The tide is turning,
he said, and a decided reaction has set
in against Democratic policies. There
is a pronounced undertone of senti
ment in favor of a return to Repub
lican domination of national affairs,
and the opinion is expressed on every
side that the time has arrived when
in this great industrial State of Penn
sylvania men who believe in ths prin
ciples of the Republican party, In the
idea of protection to American indus
tries, should get together and work in
accord to name Republicans for every
office to be filled.
When questioned as to probable
nominees for Governor and other
offices to be filled this Pall, Senator
Penrose said:
"There is no effort to make a slate.
The main thought seems to be to let
public sentiment develop and that no
partisan spirit should be entertained
in seeking to further any particular
interests. "Without having any clear
idea at this time as to the construc
tion of a State ticket, I feel confident
that Republican sentiment will de
velop in the next three months in a
way to bring about a satisfactory re
sult."
There is no doubt that tho result of
the exchange of views among active
Republicans from the interior of the
State during the last
few days is that ex-
Stuart Is * Governor Edwin S.
Favored By Stuart is being most
Many Jjeaders strongly advocated for
the nomination to
succeed Governor
Tener. Ex-Secretary of State Philan
der Chase Knox and Senator William
C. Sproul, of Delaware county, each
has a host of admirers. They are both
prominently mentioned for the gov
ernorship and their respective sup
porters insist that tho lield is still an
open one with the outcome in doubt.
Judge Kunkel also hns many sup
porters.
William Draper Lewis is again being
exploited for the nomination for Gov
ernor on the. Washington party ticket.
Robert K. Young, State. Treasurer,
and half a dozen others are also pro
posed for this nomination. There
is likely to be several Rull Moose
candidates placed in the field for the
nomination for Governor, which will
make the primary contest of unusual
interest.

Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer for
United States senator, Collector of
Customs William H.
Berry for Governor
and 'William T. Creasy Democratic
for Lieutenant-Gov- Nominations
ernor on the Demo- are Discussed
cratic ticket.
There are. many
who believe that Mr. Palmer will be. a
candidato for re-election to Congress
and that he will not aspire to any
nomination in the State at large.
Judge John M. Carman, of Luzerne,
is expected to ha.ve his name on the
primary electing ballot for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator.
Secretary of Labor William B. Wil
son will run for the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor if he shall be per
mitted to retain his place in the. Wil
son Cabinet in the event of his defeat.
City Solicitor Michael J. Ryan upon
his return from Cuba is expected to
again figure conspicuously as an as
pirant for Governor on the Demo

THE SUMMONS
B.v John Kendrlrk Bnno.
Now come the Christmas . chimes to
summon me
From sluggish easp and cynic
thoughts of doubt .
To deeds of kindly Opportunity
That on all sides of us now lie about;
To spread the Gospel of Good Will to
all.
To sing the songs of Peace upon the
mart.
And fill with spirit of high festival
To overflowing every human heart.
To carry hope to hopeless ones, and
ease
The sufferings of grievous helpless
ness;
To carry joy to those whose miseries
Have piunred them In a rnalestrom
of distress;
To lavish Light on Darkness, drying
tears;
To enter into homes of them that
grieve.
And with the touch of sympathy the
fears
Of brothers in affliction dread re
lieve.
That is the song those Christmas
chimes ring forth!
That Is the summons sent to those
who hear.
Borne on the crispy air from out the
north
Upon this morn so thrilling In its
cheer.
Let him who hath of his possessions
spend
Not stores of gold, but Love In fullest
play-
He wins the greatest treasure in the
end
Who LIVES as well as GIVES Ills
Christmas Day!

RESULTS OF EVII, PLAYS
[From the New York Sun.]
It Is truer than ever that the evil
plays do lives after them. The after
math of "The Lure" and Its hateful kind
was the series of pictures which were
removed from the view of the public
by the Interference of the police. This
week a music hall has been displaying
a nlm story based on the play by
Brleux which was shown last year as
a sociological exhibit and Is now one of
the most successful commercial enter
prises of the theatrical season. These

HAVE HIT THE DEVIL HARD
By James M. Stiller, D. D.
Suppose your grandfather or great
grandfather died in the year 1878,
what were some of the things that you
have seen that he never saw? Auto
mobiles and trolley-cars? Yes, the
only street traffic that he saw was
horse-cars, and when he went driving
a good trotter was his best motive
power. He never rode up a thirty
story office-building In an elevator be
cause there was no such building and
no elevator. He never rang up on a
telephone and talked with a man 800
miles away, nor turned on the lights of
a whole house with one twist of a but
ton. He never saw gifts to education,
amounting to more than $50,000,000,
In one year. He never mought a twen
toy-four-page newspaper with Infor
mation gathered from all around the
world, for one cent. There are more
remarkable things than these that he
never saw. He never saw the sale of
liquor prohibited In one-half the terri
tory over which the Stars and Stripes
fly. He never saw many scores of the
finest educated university men and
women of the land going out as for
eign missionaries every year. He
never saw great Christian schools, hos
pitals, and churches in China and In
dia. He never saw a great social set
tlement like Hull House in Chicago.
The good things that have come to
pass since 1875 are too many to count,
and they have hit the Devil pretty
hard. The good work began a long
time ago, when Jeßus started the first
missionary enterprise.—Sunday School
Times.
FIGURATIVELY SPUAKINO
[From the Philadelphia Bulletin.]
"A schoolboy of 11," said Professor
Thomas R. L.ounsbury, Vale's authority
on English, "once gave an apt Illustra
tion of figurative usage. ITe gave it in
a composition writing:
"'A tlggerativo saying is—to keep
the wolf from the door. It does not
mean to keep a real live wolf from the
door. A good instance is when the
landlord comes for the rent. He knocks
at the door, and you keep awful quiet
in the hope that he will think there is
nobody in and go away.' "
THE EASIEST WAY
By Bfrton Brnlev.
Miss Millicent Muffins of Gramercy
Square
Had oodles of money and plenty to
wear,
And using both means—she was wise
for her age—
She started to try for a life on the
stage.
No arduous training for Millicent—she
Was not going to study for two years,
or three
Then worry and work for some twenty
years more
Before she was given her chances to
score.
Not Millicent! Millicent Muffins was
wise:
She wanted u much more celerlous rise,
So she went to her dressmaker, skilled
111 her art.
And ordered a dozen new gowns—for a
start.
"I'll kill 'em with clothes," Millie said,
"in each part!"
And Millicent did! For whatever she
played
Her gowns were a regular fashion
parade.
They dazzled the eyes and they addled
the mind
Till people applauded and critics grew
kind, >
In spite of the fact, which was easy
to see,
That Mllllccnt's acting was simply
N. G.
But Millicent hadn't a worry on earth;
Her faithful instructors were Paquin
and Worth,
Whose art was so great and whose
work so complete,
That Millicent charmed from her head
to her feet,
And people all said, "Afn't she ter
ribly sweet!" .
Thus dressmakers fashioned her bril
liant career
And Millicent made quite the hit of
the year:
The art of the modiste has brought
her so far
That Millicent Muffins will presently
star
And dazzle the folk of the cities and
towns
With a full repertoire of some ninety
five gowns!
