MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26.
NO LET TP ON VICE
THE mid of Colonel Hutchison on
an alleged vice resort Saturday
evening indicates that there is
to be no let-up on the part of
the Police Department or those
Acting with him in the great work of
cleaning up Harrlsburg.
In the past "rice crusades" have
fceen but temporary disturbances of
life in the tenderloin district. They
have come like waves and passed like
wavee, leaving calmness in their wake
end all too little wreckage. In a few
days closed doors have been unbarred
and the red lights have been relighted.
This time there Is to be no end to the
watchfulness of the police in this re
spect. Wherever the ugly monster
raises its head the club of official au
thority will be ready for it. The fact
that the local federal agent reports
that the women forced to quit their
calling here do not know which way
to turn because the gates of almost
all other cities are closed to them,
indicates that the efforts of the police
here are but a part of a country-wide
war that is being waged against com
mercialized vice.
"It will do no good; you cannot
abolish It," say the skeptical and
those whose pocketbooks or weakness
have been touched by the local cru
sade. Granted that vice cannot be
eliminated entirely, is that any rea
son why the laws of the country
should not be enforced? Is that any
reason why illegal resorts should be
permitted in the community where
there is evidence at hand to close
them? As well not punish the mur
derer or the thief because the punish
ment does not prevent others from
committing like crimes. By abolish
ing the house of ill-repute we remove
temptation and a standing invitation
to loose living. That is the big pur
pose of the present movement, and
Ittt nobody get the idea that it is to
be merely a temporary activity.
Our new Superintendent of Parks
liasn't yet said a word about the pro
posed Wildwood Park zoo, but let's be
patient
FORCTN T G GOETTHAIiS OUT?
WHY should Colonel Goethals
consider for a moment ac
cepting the police commis
6lonership of New York, as
thankless a Job as there is in the
"world and one that is marked with
more wrecks and failures than any
other public office in America?
The only answer would seem to be
that President Wilson intends to ap
point some other man to the governor
ship of Panama after the completion
of the canal.
If that be so, the President is not
only selfishly withholding from a most
deserving officer to which he
Is Justly entitled, but he is running the
grave risk of involving the Panama
Canal Zone in petty politics in a man
ner that will haunt him the remainder
of his administration, and after.
Under the direction of Colonel
Goethals there has been order, hon
esty and efficiency on the Isthmus.
There was not a question raised as to
the excellency of Goethals' adminis
tration until Secretary Bryan made a
fine place for his editor, Richard L.
Metcalf, by having President Wilson
eend him down there as a personal
representative to make recommenda
tions and keep him in touch with the !
situation. Metcalf is a small man be- I
side Goethals and he knows little or
nothing concerning the problems with
which Goethals has had to deal. Given
the place instead of Goethals when
Goethals took charge. Metcalf would
have Involved the canal operation in
engineering failur > and political
squabbles such as ie has stirred up
■lnce he appeared there.
There can be no doubt about
Colonel Goethals' willingness to ac
cept the-New York post. It becomes,
then, the duty of President Wilson to
see to it that the nation does not lose
the wonderful administrative services j
of this man. He Is needed on the
Isthmus Just as much now as he was i
when the operations there were In i
their infancy. He knows the situation
and he is unquestionably the man to
put In charge of the zone after the
big ditch Is opened to traffic. He
Wtdi Had grave problems then, as
MONDAY EVENING,
he did before, and In all America
there is no other so well equipped to
meet and solve them.
It seems scarcely possible that
Colonel Goethals would relinquish
such a post, unless there be a political
string to the appointment. It is to be
hoped that the President does not
mean to yield to the yanping of the
persistent place hunters who ure a
reproach to his administration. The
Canal Zone is no place for the po
litical hanger-on and it seems almost
inconceivable that the President means
to sacrifice Goethals to a horde of
Job-hungry Democrats.
That new revolving front door in the
Courthouse, we are assured, has noth
ing to do with rotation among ttie of
ficials.
REAL TANGO AND PARISIAN
THE first number of the new
French periodical, "La Revue
Sud-Americaine," contains an
interesting article on the tango.
In its devotees and surroundings, the
dance in Paris differs even more radi
cally from those of Its place of origin
than it does in the character of itsj
steps. In Paris one sees a long string
of sumptuous -motor-cars leaving the
fashionable hotels with ladies dressed
in split skirts of gossamer material,
and dainty feet in transparent stock
ings. They are going to a tango tea,
where they will parade through a
Whimsical dance, throwing themselves
backward and forward in the arms of
stylishly-dressed dandies with hair
parted in the middle, to the strains of
a gipsy band.
This is not the tango of the Argen
tine Gaucho and of his "novia." In
front of the rancho on a soft moon
light night the author says he has ob
served a very different performance.
The Gaucho ilings back his "poncho"
and grasping his dark-eyed beauty by
the waist, whirls her around and
around in a frantic movement, to stop
suddenly and fix upon her an intense
gaze of truly savage ecstasy. Mean
while the dogs howl, the guitars play,
and the men swallow glass after glass
of "aguardiente doble." Then come
ardent flirtations and jealous angry
looks. Not infrequently follows a
fierce improvised duel, with a knife
as weapon, between two of the Gau
chos, one of whom is sure to rise no
more from the ground. The women
scream and turn away their eyes,
someone dashes out the dim lamps,
the Gauclios leap on their horses and
gallop away over the wide open pam
pas, leaving the dead man to be burled
by some good Samaritan the next
morning. That is the real tango!
WEST ENDERS IN EARNEST
EVIDENTLY the West End Im
provement Association is very
much in earnest in its movement
to obtain a subway beneath the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at Division street.
The association is going about its
campaign in the proper manner. It is
endeavoring to educate the public to
the need of such a passage and to
awaken public sentiment in its behalf
by appealing to all similar organ
izations in the city.
Ihe West Enders have evidently
calculated that an aroused public
opinion is the most powerful argu
ment they can bring to bear in favor
of the improvement they desire. In
this they are right. Whenever the
people as a whole or a substantial ma
jority of them demand In forceful
manner the construction of a subway
at Division street, the subway will be
constructed, and without delay. The
same applies to a good many other
improvements and reforms concerning
which much is just now being said.
NEW PROGRESSIVE IDEA
ONE of the complaints of the
Progressives has been that Con
gress and the various State leg
islatures are entirely too slow
In the enactment of beneficial legis
lation. The whole purpose of the
Progressive movement, if we are to
believe the platform declarations of
the party, is the passage of a series
of laws which it has been asserted
the national and State statute-making
bodies have refused, for this or that
reason, under the old party control,
to pass.
Now comes the lowa Progressive
party and demands that no law shall
be adopted without "proper public
discussion." What are we to take from
this? That the Progressive party must
first be consulted, or that this modi
fied form of the initiative and refer
endum is to give the Progressives time
to catch up with popular opinion and
thus play for support at the polls?
At all events the Progressives are
bent on placing Congress and the Leg
islature between the devil and the
deep sea, where it will be easy to
damn them if they do and likewise if
they don't.
"GO-TO-CHURCH" SUNDAY
THE first Sunday of February has
been fixed as "Go-to-Church"
Sunday. An effort is to be made
on that date to get every non
churchgoer to attend divine services
at least once during the day.
Press and pulpit everywhere have
endorsed the movement. It has be
come country-wide and its popularity
is attested by the resolutions passed
in its favor by ministerial associations
and from the broadcast Invitations of
pew and pulpit to people outside the
church to Join with them In worship.
And where, do you ask, did this ex
cellent idea originate? Was it the
recommendation of President Wilson,
Colonel Roosevelt or some other one
of those ardent reformers for personal
reasons who have been shriekjng their
ideals and their virtues from the
house-tops. Oh, no, it was merely a
suggestion from our modest friend,
William Howard Taft, who, a short
time ago, expressed the belief that
hope for the future of our American
institutions lies largely in a return to
the old-fashioned church-going cus
tom.
It is odd, to say the least, that the
voice of one whose ad-ministration as
President was harshly criticised, and
i who was ignominiously defeated for
rc-ehectlon, should he recognized at so
early a date thereafter as that of a
prophet by the united religious bodies
of the land.
lewmne- ceat
The announcement on Saturday that
the State had acquired, through the
Capitol Park Extension Commission,
title to th'e property of the Wesley
Union African Methodist Episcopal
Church, at South and Tanner's streets,
probably did not strike most of the
people of the city as of very much im
portance in local religious history,
let, as a matter of fact, it was the
sale of the church of the oldest con
gregation of colored people in Har
risburg, and the property had been
occupied by it for within a few months
of seventy-five years. There are only
three or four denominations which
hiivp had churches on one property In
Hurrisburg for that length of time.
This church was organized by the col
ored people of the city August 20,
182 9, according to church records, al
though for the preceding five years
meetings had been held in various
places. The organization took place
in a log house at Third and Mulberry
streets which had been used for re
ligious purposes for years before and
tradition says that it was once occu
pied as a school. Curiously enough,
this section was known locally as
"Jndastown," although why no one
seems to know, and it was a long time
before that singular nickname passed
away. One of the leading men of the
district resented it in a speech he once
made at a political meeting before the
Civil War. showing that it must have
been of ancient origin. Anyway, Wes
ley Church did not stay long in that
locality, as in 18S8 its people secured
(he plot which It Just sold and Novem
ber 24, 1839, moved into its first
church, a frame structure, built out
of the earnings of its members, who
were aided by residents of the city.
That was about the beginning of the
time when the Eighth ward began to
till up with colored people. There
were no slaves here after 1800, at
least, and the colored folks, who were
mostly servants, made their homes in
that part of town, the number being
increased by those who bought their
freedom in the South or who escaped
to free soil. Thus it was natural for
the church to locate on what used to
be called "Tanner's alley." for it was
the center ot' the life of its people.
C. Stuart Patterson, Jr., one of the
Philadelphia attorneys who is well
known here because of practice at the
Capitol, used to be in the United
States army and tells how he just es
caped hanging a man. Mr. Patterson
was in one of the artillery regiments
in the Philippines and once when out
with a detail of fifteen men the guide
got lost, or at least alleged that he
did. His memory was very much at
fault about the time the sun was
setting and as the country was full of
inurrectos Mr. Patterson decided to
see if the gnide could not be made to
remember. The man was accordingly
ordered strung up. "In one minute,"
says Mr. Patterson, "he remembered a
way out. But I do not know which
suffered most in that minute—the
Filipino or myself."
The Reading's line from the Phila
delphia, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh
junction to its Rutherford yards is the
only one in this part of the State that
can show locomotives of four rail
roads in use any day. Yesterday it
showed engines of as many railroads
In ten minutes. First came a Read
ing engine bowling along with a big
Loal train; then a Cumberland Valley
stalwart hauling in a train down from
the Valley, followed by a spanking
Western Maryland engine with its odd
device on the tender, running
"through" from Franklin county, and
finally a noisy Pennsylvania yard en
gine. bringing over a "draft," as a
string of cars without a caboose is
called, from the Harrisburg yards.
John P. Dohoney, the investigator
of accidents and trouble generally of
the Public Service Commission, used
to be a newspaper correspondent, and
a good one. He gets a large amount
of experience traveling about the
State looking up accidents and his
newspaper training comes in well. One
time, not long ago, he went to look
Into a peculiarly bad accident. They
met him with fine reports, typewritten,
exhaustive and apparently frank. Mr.
Dohoney read them, asked questions
of the officials and then remarked
that he would now proceed to visit the
sctne of the accident. But he went
not in the private car, but in the ordi
nary train, and when he got there he
I waited until the crew that had been in
| the wreck came along. Then he made
j his own reports.
People up at the Capitol are not
inclined to take very seriously the
complaint from the organizations of
fruit growers and others the last few
weeks because of the commodities act
of 1913. This is the act which pro
vides a standard of weight for about
eighty articles in daily use and re
quires every vessel used in measuring
to contain the capacity stamped on
the side. It seems that the act and
l some measures used for years on some
[ farms and taken as the real thing for
I miles around do not "gee" with the
standard set up. Hence the complaint
that the Legislature may be asked to
change things .
OH. VOl TANGO!
By Wine Dinger.
You may sing of Salome, the Hootchy
de Kootch
And the hair-raising Spanish Fan
dango,
But, brother, the wiggle that's got 'em
all beat
For gyrations, et al., is the Tango.
When at first it came out it created a
stir,
And the question was "How far will
man go?"
Which led to some inquiries into this
dance
And it looked like "Good-by" to the
Tango.
Then someone discovered that countries
elsewhere
Were dancing this dance, and its mo
tion
Was far more retined than the style
that they chose
To be used on this side of the ocean.
As critics waxed warm and the people
demurred
There was pulled oft a quick change
of scene.
And now we are told that it's properly
danced
In the faraway land—Argentine.
And each day. it would seem, that some
goody-good folks
Who at first murmured "O, what a
sight!"
Are joining the ranks, and excuse
themselves thus:
"If It's proper y danced, it's all right."
So the country goes crazy, new corsets
and shirts.
Ladies' bloomers and shoes a la
Tango,
Are devised to give grace to the wig
gles and dips.
And we wonder still, how far will
man go.

JUST SCHEME TO BECLOUD
Democrals Face a Fight For State
Committee—Matt and Bailey
in a Snarl
Notwithstanding the persistent ef
forts of men identified with the Inner
councils of the Bull Moose party and
the bare-faced attempts of the reo
bosses In the Democratic ranks to
make it appear that the election of
Senator Boies Penrose Is an issue in
the election of members of the next
Senate and House the fact is that the
legislators have nothing to do with It.
The nomination and election of the
United States senators are in the
hands of the people just as-they are In
Oregon or Kansas or any other State
which has been perched high up on
the Progressive ladder and talked
about.
The injection of the senatorial elec
tion bugaboo into the campaign for
the legislature is nothing more than
an attempt on the part of the rco
bosses to hide their own weakness
and a plain scheme on the part of the
Flinns and that type to get control of
the lawmakers.
Candidates for United States senator
will be nominated at the primaries in
May by. parties, just as will be the
candidates for governor, lieutenant
governor, secretary of internal affairs,
and four congressmen-at-large. The
candidates for supreme justice will be
nominated on a nonpartisan ballot and
the two men getting the highest num
ber of votes will be placed on the bal
lot. In all other respects the nomi
nations will be on the same principle
as th 6 nomination of a congressman
in a district, a purely partisan af
fair. The State ticket will be nomi
nated for the first time by direct pri
mary and Republicans, Democrats,
Washingtonians and the rest will all
name their tickets. And. speaking of
senatorial nominations, the only man
who appears to be slated and sure is
none other than the opponent of
bosses—in other parties—Gifford Pin
chot, the Progressive of Washington,
New York and Pike county, Pa.
The committee named on Friday to
invite President Wilson to be the ora

has begun to stir
around and it is
Keorgnnizers said that if the
Hope Wilson assurance of the

will be served at the Chestnut street
market hall, where the club held its
dinner last year and where, by the
way, President Wilson spoke when
here in 1911. On that occasion he
and Champ Clark, rivals for the
presidential nomination, were the ora
tors. The committee has started to
sound out the President and will make
an earnest effort to get him hero as
the day will be Just about a month
before the primaries and for reor
ganized to secure some of the presi
dential smiles would be worth a lot
to bosses like Palmer, McCormick,
Morris and the like. If they win the
nominations they expect to have Wil
son butt into this State as he did in
New Jersey and in order to get the
nominations they are planning to use

rumor, Joe Totten Seats Worry

Totten thrashed the
McCormick candidate at the primary
last September and is getting ready
to do it in May. He wants to be the
postmaster of Carlisle and if he does
not get it he and some others will
start things. In York men connected
with the reorganization cause are ar
ranging to run again and will have a
hot fight. In Lancaster the element
which clings to orthodoxy in Demo
cratic affairs is going to make an effort
to unseat the Davis crowd and to get
the State copimittee seats. In Perry
the reorganizers rely on Jim Magee to
hold things level, but the fact that he
has a fat and soft office does not
make him any stronger. Lebanon is
said to be already counted as lost by
the reorganization gangsters. Bert
Fritchey's candidacy for the State
committee will be strongly supported
all over Dauphin county.
Democratic State bosses are com
mencing to get concerned over the
fight being waged in one of the divi
sions of the State ma
chine between the par-
Builcy and tisans of Congressman
Matt.Scrap Warren Worth Bailey
Over Jobs and Representative
John T. Matt, of pass
boomerang fame.
Matt, it will be recalled, defeated
Bailey for division chairman when the
divisions were organized here last
year and has been keeping it up. The
recent Altoona conference was marked
by no end of scrapping over the man
agement of affairs and it is said that
notice was served or Bailey that he
had better take orders or his road to
Congress next Fall would be blocked.
The reo-bosses favor Bailey because
he owns a newspaper, but they are
afraid to antagonize Matt's following.
Bailey wants to run again, but there
are hints that he may be opposed.
Lynn Brua will be the Washington
candidate and ex-Congressman Jesse
L. Hartman will be the Republican
nominee in all probability.

limit men who drink to excess of four
drinks a day, but the dispatch does
not go further into details. Four drinks

Centre of
Allison Hill
The new hill coal yard and office we re
cently built is located at nearly the exact
center of Allison Hill. i
This makes short hauls in all directions.
And the office is in a very convenient place
for you to order coal.

As we have over 100 horses, many wag
ons and two large coal yards, there is never
any excuse for delay in delivering coal.
Next time you are out of coal, give us the
order and have it delivered promptly.

ANYTHING TO PLEASE TEACHER
[From the Kansas City Star.]
The Atchison Globe relates that a
boy, whose father was a baker, formed
the. habit of presenting- his teacher witli
a fresh pretzel every morning. The
teacher one morning remarked that
the pretzels were too salty. Tho next
morning, and each morning thereafter
the teacher received a pretzel, but ill
each Instance it was without salt. Fi
nally the teacher asked the boy if his
father was making a different kind of
pretzel. "Oh, no," replied the boy. "I
just lick the salt oIT every morning on
my way to school."
