THIS is the caption of a little booklet issued by the Pennsyl vania Good Roads Association toi the supporters of the move ment for better highways in this State. It constitutes an admirable presentation of the whole good roads question and ought to arouse wide spread interest In a problem which concerns all classes of our popula tion. Inasmuch as this association is non partisan and "striving for good roads because of their economic and ethical value to all the people" the movement must appeal to thousands in every corner of the Commonwealth. Spe cial stress is laid upon the value of good roads in their effect upon the prosperity and happiness of the peo ple, "the cost and pleasure of living, the exchange of commodities, the valuation of properties, the social and educational welfare of citizens and even the thought of a nation." Through amendments to the Sproul act by the last Legislature there are now 1,400 miles of roads in Pennsyl vania that form connecting links be tween all the county seats and other important communities. Failure of the proposed loan for the mainte nance and reconstruction of these roads taken over by the State means that they must be turned back to tho townships through which they pass or be cared for by the Common wealth. It is for the purpose of giv ing force and effect to the good roads propaganda that tho association has been organized and is now inviting the active co-operation through mem bership in the working out of prac tical plans for improvement of the highways of the State. No move for a bond issue can be made for five years since the voting down of the J50,000,000 loan and other means must be provided. Repealing tho Sproul act and throwing back upon 1,200 townships these 1,400 miles of roads, a.s indi cated by tho Good Roads Association, wjuld be a serious step backward and Should not be considered; but some thing must be done and the associa tion presents the only practical solu tion—the increasing of Sti.te appro priations for new construction and ■clentific maintenance of the high •ways which have had no attention (Whatsoever. Perhaps the most hopeful feature tot the new movement is the pledge of the association to "promote co-op eration between tho road authorities »f the State and the townships." Another Interesting proposition which is tentatively submitted by the association Is the employment of prison labor in the highway work. Buch, a measure was presented In the Jast Legislature and had no serious opposition, but was permitted to fall through indifference in the Senate. It is contended in advocacy of con vict labor for roads that there is in it "an element of justice to both the convicts and the State and counties— to the convict, that he may be en abled through lessons of endurance and skill to develop a vigor of man hood useful to himself and society; to the State and counties, for the rea son that they would be receiving some return for the enormous cost of maintaining the State find county prisons with their thousands of able bodied inmates." The association 1 says in conclusion: "We believe the use of prison labor on the public roads is a subject that is entitled to the serious considera tion of the citizens and taxpayers of Pennsylvania." While tile loan for paving street in tersections was voted dqwn last No vember, at least 011 the returns, which may have been accurate, there is still ample margin in. the city's borrowing capacity to provide for such street pav • lng this year as may be necessary. A "THRIFT DAY" WE have so many special "days" now in the school year that teachers look with suspicion on any effort to engraft an other upon our educational system. There comes, however, at this time, a suggestion that might well be serious ly considered before being dropped. TUESDAY EVENING, jit is for a special "Thrift Day'—u I <la.v when each pupil shall be im ; pressed with thfc Importance of thrift j In their dally lives. It seems strange that Abraham Lin coln's advice to "teach economy, one of the first and highest virtues," is, after half a century, only beginning to be followed by educators, i In Massachusetts, New York and ; Minnesota there are laws which make ;it optional but not compulsory to | teach thrift in (lie public schools. The school .savings banks are making i some headway in various parts of the country, but take it by and large, it. i Is a lamentable fact tlmt little is being 'done in the public schools of the coun try (o give the children a grounding | in the essentials of thrift. Much is being said about agricul tural and other vocational education, about manual training and domestic science in the public schools, but there Is no A - ell defined plan for adding thrift training to the school curricu lum. ■ If it is worth while to teach the farmer to wrest more from the soil, is it not worth while to show him also how to administer to better advan tage his newly created wealth? A school superintendent In a large city when nsked what was being done in the public schools under his super vision to systematically instill the thrift idea, replied "Absolutely noth ing." A member of the school board in the same city, asked whether he did not think thrift training should have a prominent place in our educa tional system, replied "That is a mat ter for the home." And yet, if we look about us, we see the heads of homes themselves setting appalling examples of riotous •extravagance. Children in schools study mathe matics; why not give them practical examples of the wonders of compound Interest to work out? They have "Emerson Days," "Ste venson Days," and all kinds of days which are observed by reading selec tions from the various authors whose work they commemorate; why not have a "Thrift Day" once In a while? The majority of students being turned out of the public schools are totally lacking In knowledge of finance, even that rudimentary part of it dealing with the importance of reg ular saving. It would shorten the road to success for most of them if "Thrift" were taken from its obscurity and made a vital theme in our edu cational system, as has already been done In some European countries. We have discovered that even the most skillful golf player Is better at the game off the links than on. CHEAP MUTTON NEWS from the West is that we are to htive cheap lamb and mutton the coming year. But at what a cost! Sheep growers, discouraged by the free wool clause of the tariff law, are selling off their (locks and will glut the market during the. coming year with both lamb and mutton. This for the moment will give us a much desired cut in the price of sheep meat, but it will be followed by a rise that promises to be out of all propor tion to the temporary decrease. Lamb will become prohibitory In price and mutton will soar beyond the cost of beef. All this in order that the foreign sheep grower may have the benefit of an American market, on the suppo sition that -wool clothing will be thereby reduced In price; a supposition that the facts in the case already show to be false. In other words. as a re sult of free wool we are to be de prived of our sheep-growing Industry, mutton and lamb are to go up In price and clothing is to be no cheaper. WORKING FOR NOTHING TRUST companies are very justly complaining against that clause of the now income tax act that makes them involuntary collec tion agents without compensation and requires them to, pay the expenses they incur in making such collections. This, it would seem, is inflicting on legitimate enterprise a penalty merely for being in business a-nd is not in accordance with those constitutional provisions against tho taking of pri vate property for public use without Just compensation. Neither does the Constitution permit of Involuntary servitude. But the income tax law lays on the shoulders of the trust companies "a burden of expense amounting In effect to a tax in excess of the return to the bank or trust company in the business out of which this expense arises" and provides for absolutely no pay for the service rendered. In effect the law says to the trust company: "You are hereby appointed tax collector. You can't decline; you've got to serve; but we don't In tend to pay you for the work and you will be required to pay your own ex penses." Fine American law, isn't it? How would you' like to have the provisions enumerated applied to you? Trenton has awakened to the value of an attractive water front and there is practically no change from- the Har risburg plan. All of which goes to prove that this city maintains its lead ership among the municipalities of the country. The "Front Steps of Harris burg" will represent not only a step In the progress of the city, but a distinct advance in esthetic treatment of Its natural advantages. With two or three exceptions all the property owners in Front street, from Harris to the northern city line, have had planted on the eastern grass strip the American elm, which uniform planting will give to this attractive boulevard an unusual feature In a few years. Two or three property owners, owing to grading In the late Fall, will not be able to complete their share of the planting until the opening of Spring. And the effect is going to be tine. Six fares for a quarter would greatly Increase the good feeling of the com munity for its electric railway bosses. Good service Is always desirable and likewise cheaper rides. i&wninft- cftdt " a rather singular circumstance that In spite of the example set by motor clubs and the State Highway Department in the erection of sign boards, or "index boards," as they are ca " e< !' along the highways of the State that public officials have given so little attention to this feature or road work. In many of the rural districts of Dauphin, Perry and Cum berland counties there are roads not embraced In the State highway svstem on which travel has trebled in the Inst three or four yjears and which are not marked any better than they were a dozen years ago. Perhaps some are not as well marked, for the signs that were In place then have not in many cases been restored, but have been allowed to decay and fall . This Is a feature of highway administration that local authorities appear to regard with scant attention in many instances notwithstanding the admonitions of judges and the public sentiment. Instances have been re ported from time to time where the maintenance of signboards has fallen, upon motorists, who gave of their funds that they might be erected and who had to go out on inspection tours. Iho new township road law Ib, un fortunately, silent on the subject of signboards, and Its framers probably thought that existing laws covered ail necessary. There are robds in the \lolnity of this city which offer fine rides, but are not known, owing to the absence of means of direction. If a few supervisors were to be brought Into court it might have a beneficial efiect. It Is not fair to require club or individual enterprise to shoulder what is manifestly an official duty. Automobile accidents of a minor nature have b»?n numerous since the freeze-up of a week ago. One five passenger car broke an axle just be low the Lemoyne bridge on the curve that turns down to the Market street bridge and another on Sunday skid ded into a telegraph pole along the Carlisle pike and was badly dam aged. A third went into an iron pole at the Walnut street bridge and I" ront street yesterday afternoon and was broken, one of the occupants be ing thrown out, but unhurt. It was a taxicab. Numerous reports of frozen and burst radiators have been re ceived but in all of the mishaps no body has been seriously injured. Charles Hoffman, superintendent of carriers, Bays the Post Office force is quite as comfortably situated in its temporary quarters in Third and Lo cust streets as it was in the old build ing in Walnut street. The clerks and carriers are rapidly adjusting them selves to the new conditions and there will be no delays nor mix-ups or mis understandings as a perfect system of handling the mails has been devised. The three-story residence and the temporary office beside It afford nearly if not qute as much room as in the old quarters. Charles K. Leiter, at one time a resident of this city, but now in the ice business in the Pocono mountains, writes that ice eighteen inches thick is now being cut there. Unless there comes a decided thaw, he bt*Vves the crop this year will be ample to cover the needs of the territory drawing its supply from the dams and lakes of that vicinity. The temperature got down as low as twenty degrees below zero at some points in the mountains last week. It is not often that a man can read his obituary handled in good faith be fore life has left him. That experi ence came to ex-Senator John S. Fisher, of Indiana, the other day. He was confused with Senator John T. Fisher, of Shamokin, who did die. The Indiana man was the head of the Capitol probers and "was one of the best known legislators. He is promi nently mentioned as a Republican candidate, for Lieutenant-Governor. Anyone familiar with the water front of Trenton can appreciate what the New Jersey capital must do to get anything like what nature has given to Harrisburg and what John Harris' foresight preserved. The Delaware at Trenton washes low banks much as does the Susquehanna at Steelton and Middletown, the high banks that we have for almost the whole length of this city being unknown. Trenton must spend many thousands of dollars to even prepare for a. "front steps." The trouble is that the Jersey people used the river bank too much as a back yard. All over the country river frontage where not taken up for busi ness is being improved just as Harris burg Bet out to do years ago. BOOST!

KIRKENDALI GETS BUSY Obtains Resignations in Advance; Bull Moosers Here Solid For Flinn Back of the slating of James A. Magee, the New Bloomtleld editor, for United States marshal to succeed James H. Yeager, of Mifflin, in this federal district, there is some tall poll tics, the kind the Democratic bosses have blamed upon Republicans. Ma gee and some of his neighbors are said to have been impressed by the fact that it is hard work any one to remember when Perry county had a Congressman, and as Frank L. Der shem, of Lewisburg, wants another term, there was enthusiastic support of Magee for the $2,500 job. Con gressmen receive $7,500. Magee has been with the reorgani zation gangsters ever since they got a grip on the machine and kept Stiles Duncan, the Perry county chairman and member of the State committee, in the line of shouters tor the bosses while he was a conspicuous tigure when any rural scenery was needed around the Democratic State wind mill in Market Square. Democrats in mis section have been getting sore over ilie preference shown tor the northeast in the selection of Rogers Burtnett, of Stroudsburg, for United Slates attorney, and Fritz Kir kenda.ll, of Wilkes-Barre, for revenue collector, and it is hoped to plaeaie these geographical experts by a Perry appointment. The continued fixing or reorganiza tion favorites in place has caused some of the hopefuls who heancened when Palmer suid few more places were to Democratic be Itlled to do some lio|>cl'uls thinking and pressing Wandering of claims, will go for word vigorously. In cidentally Democrats here are rather surprised that Bur nett named H. G. McCort, a Scranton lawyer, as his assistant at $2,600 a year. The northeast seems to be do ing well, although we have In our midst T. K. VanDyke, a Democrat when some bosses were sulkers in their tents and the original Bryan man in this neck of the woods. Congressman Brodbeck's reported attempt to have the President name his secretary, Clarence Geesey, as postmaster of York, spells trouble for him iat' the coming pri- Postmaster maries. Brodbeck at York Is was an "accidental" Troublesome selection and already there are two candi dates In the field against him, one of them Prothonotary Gerry, one of the best politicians in the county. Ex- Senator Davy Klinedlnst, well known here, is a candidate for postmaster, and Fire Chief George S. Kroll, a fre quent visitor to this city, are among the hopefuls and the veteran E. D. Zeigler, a former Congressman, would like to have the place. The York Democracy was always turbulent and Palmer's machine and Brodbeck's machine may find the post ofllre at the county seat a nuisance. Representatives J. B. Martin and W. W. Lcnker are taking advantage of the advertising effect of the recent Bull Moose confer ence In this city to Martin anil start their cam lienker Will pnigns for renoml- Be Candidates nation. Martin may have to face oppo sition from William VI. Earnest, of Hummelstown, who had a boom in 1912 and who Is said to have a hankering to show what he can do. Lenker is busy with a still hunt in the upper end. Ira J. Mosey may become a candidate in the city district, as the party bosses are for him. Indications, however, are that there will be plenty of candidates in the city. The Dauphin Bull Moosers did not cut any figure in the recent conference. Dauphin county Bull Moosers assert that there is nothing to the stories of a division in the ranks of the un bossed party over the slating of State Treasurer Young as t,he candidate Daupliin for Governor, and pro- Moosers fess to consider the boom Flinnltes for William WllheJtn, of Schuylkill, as hot air. One of the prominent Bull Moosers of Dauphin county declared to-day that the "organ Nation' of the party here was with Fllnn and VanValken burg and would go right down the line with them. The leaders here who are not occupying places say that Wll helm might poll a few votes here, but predicts that the "organization" votes would go for Young or Dewis, if it was determined to turn in for the lat ter. Most Bull Moosers here doubted If Wilhelm would be a candidate. Local Democrats had their eyes turned to Dancaster to-day for news from the headquarters of Fritz Kir kendall, the new col lector of internal rev- Klrk.v Has enue, who adopted the Jobs For characteristic Demo- Faithful cratic plan of demand- In# resignations of everyone in his office. This Is taken by the Democrats here to mean that he will soon announce his appointments. Klrkendall has about sixty Jobs in his office, and It Is the general opinion that he will nil them In the next month or so. There are about 800 applicants and only men who belong to the reorganization gang need apply.

She says: "My observation has been that women who are happily married do the best work in the art of the theater as in all the arts—ln the long run, and in any large body of achievement, frag mentary good work has been done by unhappy women of genius in poetr> painting, music; and such safl stars, have shone with wonderful promise for a short time on the stage. But success that lasts not only exacts of a woman a life-time of work, but also demands that she shall have a happy life as well. "Pedple do not realize how seriously and continually we of the theater work. Kven in summer when we are supposed to be idle, there is a great deal of genu ine work to do. One must never neg lect one's voice, or one's exercise, and there are endless details to be decided on for future performances. And of course one must store up vitality. "It takes Immense vitality to make the art of the theater convincing. One must have plasticity in order to mold an audience to the thought one is giv ing out to them. By plasticity I mean, you understand, something different from temperament in the usual sense. I mean Intellectual temperament. "In the greatest vitalitv there are ebblngs and flowlngs of strength. No artist can be always at the ebb tide of power. Always In the best acting there Is a sort of spell—shall I call it hyp notism? One feels the effluence going forth from one, the vital something, and feels it taking hold of personali ties on the other side of the footlights. "I suppose every successful actress from Rachel to Madame Bernhardt has had experience of the personalized re sponse when all the individuals of an audience seem held by this spell. "An Interesting example of tills comes to my mind. Once, after 'As You Like It,' I was asked, 'What do you put on your face to make it so gray? Your pallor is actually gray. What do you use?' "They thought I turned up stage and put something on my face. I didn't at all, of course. My color looked exactly the same to those on the stage with me. The suggestion of gray pallor was so strong to the audience that this hypnotized person Insisted that my own face actually turned gray." THE STUART BOOM FOR GOVER NOR (Philadelphia Bulletin.) The sentiment which Republicans in various parts of the State are be ginning to express in connection with the nomination for Governor in May next, is that the candidate shall be a man who will be free of anything In his character or record which will handicap his party and who will be strong enough not only to hold the full regular vote, but to appeal effec tively to the many thousands of the Progressives of 1912 who are not very far away from the Republican lines. In the course of the discussion of names that have been proposed for the Gubernatorial offlce, there has been none that has been received with more approval on the score of both availability and fitness for that purpose than that of ex-Governor Stuart. Even ex-Secretary Knox ap pears to be much less an object of good will and consideration in this respect than the ex-Governor. Mr. Stuart's personal popularity in Philadelphia Is one of the most fa milar facts in our political life. But he has made hardly less of an im pression in the past few years on the rank and file of; his party and a large portion of its working forces in the interior of the State. His clean, prac tical and level-headed qualities, to gether with the fact that his admin istration as Governor was one of the most satisfactory in the recent his tory of Pennsylvania, have given him a strong place in the esteem of the people in almost every county. Tf the Republican party is to get into the next campaign with a chance of regaining the State there Is no candidate, present or prospective, for its Gubernatorial nomination' who would be more likely to hold its pres ent vote and to win back a large por tion of the lost vote of 1912 than ex- Governor Stuart would be.
