TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20
"ARE YOU A MEMBER ?"
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.

OPPOSITION H
That Is What It Said to Be Back
of the Slating of Jim Ma
gee For Marshal
MR. 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

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

MARRIED WOIHEK BEST ACTRESSES
Julia Marlowe Sothern in the Janu
ary Green Book Magazine, declares any
success on the stage means work. 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. Whether
