OUR SUCCESSFUL LIBRARY
HARRISBURG'S new Public Li
brary, because to all Intents and
purposes It is a new one, so
completely Mas it changed from
the Institution as we remember It, has
established Its place In the State's
capital. While the new home was be
ing erected there were people who ex
pressed doubts whether It would meet
the popular support necessary to such
an enterprise and there were some
who had misgivings until they saw
4,000 people stream through the doors
on the opening day.
As D. Bailey Brandt pointed out last
evening in his short article upon the
functions of a public library, it should
appeal to everyone, old and young,
folks of leisure and those who toil, the
well-read and the person struggling
for the education essential to winning
the battle of life. It may be safely
paid that in the less than forty days
in which the library has been at the
service of the people of Harrisburg
and vicinity that it has measured up
to these requirements. A circulation
of 12,000 books in twenty-five days of
January and over 1,500 children reg
istered as desiring to use the privi
leges placed within their reach by the
benefactions of a public spirited wo
man demonstrate that the folks of our
community appreciate this newest
public institution.
"An effort Is being made to guard
Mexico City from conspirators," says
a news dispatch. By putting everybody
to Jail we suppose.
LIVING EXPENSES
THE Telegraph is in receipt of
a letter, complaining of high
prices in the Harrisburg mar
kets. The writer says among
other things:
When I was a boy mother bought
enough for a family of five every
Saturday and she never took to
market more than a dollar. Mother
was an economist and she knew
how to buy. Possibly she was in
part responsible for the small mar
ket bills, although, of course, I
know that the prices of now un
duely high. I make more money
than my father did, yet we don't
seem to live any better, BO far as
our table is concerned, and we save
less money. It is a hard matter to
make ends meet. I believe we need
more women like my mother, as
well as lower prices, if wo are to
continue to live as we like to live
and make ends meet. Domestic
science ought to be taught in our
schools, with special reference as
to how to live well with the small
est possible outlay.
Under present conditions, many
heads of families like this correspon
dent are finding it Increasingly hard
to make ends meet, while as far as
making them lap a little, that seems
Impossible, they say. But that is what
must be done if any progress or any
provision for the future is to be made.
Every man ought to know that if
he has good health but does not get
on in the world and accumulate some
thing, he alone is to blame. The op
portunity has been before him, despite
the Increased cost of living.
It is true that the best helper in
any man's life is a good wife. She
puts hope into tho heart of a man
and inspires him to do his best; she
nssists him to save money and sets
the example herself, but alio may not
know how to nave wisely.
I,ack of thrift In household buying
is generally considered, na our cor
respondent points out, a cause of the
high cost of living. The old-time
grocer never expected to sell less than
a. whole ham or a shoulder or a aide
of bacon, a bushel of cornnieal, a peck
to a bushel of beans, a peck of dried
apples. A ten-gallon keg of molaßses
was a common sale, almost never a
Bale of less than a gallon and when
the smaller quantity was purchased
buyers always brought their own Jugs.
Now people buy ten cents' worth
of corn syrup and must have It In
a tin can that coßts three and one
half cents to make. In place of
bringing a jug and getting a gallon
of vinegar for twenty to thirty cents,
they buy the same sort of vinegar in
bottles so it costs them eighty cents
to a gallon. They must have their
ham and bacon cut in certain sort of
slices, regardless of the waste, buy
ers taking only enough for a single
meal, say ten to twenty-five cents'
worth.
Another thing, people now buy the
hard staples of living in »vhat we ntay
SATURDAY EVENING,
say are Infinitesimal quantities. The
storeroom in the home Is a rare thing.
Many families now make separate
purchases for every meal; they send
or telephone to the grocery a dozen
times a day. It costs the grocer al
most as much to sell and deliver each
ten-cent sale as a $5.00 one.
If the boys and girls 1b the public
schools could be taught the elemen
tary facts in regard to marketing, as
well as the importance of saving and
depositing in the bank, it would be a
great national benefit.
The Marysvllle Journal has been en
larged. It is now a six-page news
paper, handsomely printed and well
made up. The management promises
new features shortly.
REPUBLICANS STAND FIRM
PERHAPS the most disconcerting
feature of the preliminary
campaign this year so far as
the Democrats and Progressives
are concerned is the widespread har
mony which prevails among the Re
publicans.
While the Democratic party is rent
asunder by factional warfare such as
has not been known for a generation
and while the bosses of the Washing
ton party are striving in every pos
sible way to defeat the purposes of
one another the Republican leaders in
the various districts and sections of
the State are quietly perfecting their
organizations.
All that remains to assure Republi
can success beyond even the perad
venture of a doubt is good hard com
mon sense In the making of the
ticket and the building of a platform
which will meet the views of the
large Progressive element within the
party.
RULES FOR HUSBANDS
F you are an angel you may aspire
| to,wed one of the members of the
I Chicago Bachelor Girls' Club. The
girls are not bent on splnsterhood,
just because they call themselves
bachelors. Oh, no Indeed! Quite the
contrary. They want to be married.
All they ask Is that the male person
aspiring to wed one of the members
of the club come up to the following
specifications:
Will you treat your wife as your
political and social equal?
Have you bad habits, such as
drinking or smoking to excess?
Will you treat your mother-in
law as you would your own mother?
Will you start the fire In the
morning and carry out the ashes? '
Do you Intend to attain more
prominence each year?
Do you attend church regularly,
and how much do you put in the
collection box?
Will you promise to kiss your !
wife good-by every morning not as 1
an act of duty, but as one of the
rarest pleasures of life?
Will you promise to be cheerful
at home and not kick on your '
wife's cooking? 1
Do you promise to spend your
evening at home?
Will you promise to obey the Ten ,
Commandments?
And what do the girls promise in
return? Why how absurd of you to
ask! They expect prospective hus
bands to take them just as they are,
of course. They make no promises of
looking well enough In the morning
to tempt a hurried husband to pause
for a lingering forewell kiss of the
mushey ante-nuptlal variety. They do
not pledge themselves to provide a
variety of cooking above the reproach
of an occasional justified kick and they
do not lay claims to that high quality
of female sainthood that would of
necessity be requfc-ed as meet com
panion for a man who could measure
up to all their marriage requirements.
As a restraint against the holy state
of matrimony the Chicago Bachelor
Girls' Club has the new Pennsylvania
eugenics law br ' ed off into an ob
scure corner and looking like a Mor
mon elder at a Shaker meeting—that
is if the girls live up to the rules.
DON'T BE NASTY
IN a sketch at one of the theaters
of the city one of the leading char
acters repeatedly says to those
about him: "Don't be nawsty, don't
be nawsty."
While the remark is made in fun, It
Is worthy of more than laughter. It
is deserving serious thought. For how
much 111 will, how much unhappiness,
how much Inefficiency there is in the
world because we sometimes, or better
ofttimes, forget and are "nawsty!"
How often do you, Mr, Business
Man, bark into the telephone instead
of talking courteously because you
were compelled to drop the thing you
were doing to answer? Do you think
you can bark and not cause ill will?
Not even a dog can do that, and you
haveil't the excuse of the dog.
How often do .you, Mr. Husband,
snap and snarl at your wife and chil
dren when ap husband and father you
should have none but words of kind
ness for chose who love you? Do you
think you can snap and snarl without
causing unhappiness in the home?
How often, Mr. Boss, do yau humili
ate an employe by "calling" him pub
licly when you could just as easily in
private talk over the mistakes that
may be made? Does thfb lead to effi
ciency? It most certainly does NOT.
If, then, you would have the re
spect, the confidence, the love of those
about you, merit it by refusing to do
anything that might have In It the
least suggestion of mistiness.
Don't be "nawsty!"
A pretty woman is reported to have
shocked a Pittsburgh banker by pull
ing $2,000 from her stocking to deposit.
And a Pittsburgh banker, too. i
We apologize for everything we said
in defense of Mrs. Hartje. A woman
who has the nerve to wed her son's
chum ought to be able to flght her own
battles.
"The war is over," said Villa when lie
heard that President Wilson had lifted
the embargo on arms. "Now we shall
bo able to fight to a successful con
clusion," said he yesterday by way of
further comment. Take your choice
and stay away from Mexico.
We arise to remark that we shall
poke no fun at the weather man if
that promised cold wave fails to arrive.
"Women's clothing," says the Phila
delphia Record's funny man, "is made
to show off." Wrong; It is made to
show everything. ,

Harry A. Boyer, elected to the
presidency of the State School Direc
tors Association at its annual meeting
yesterday, is not only the first Dauphin
county man to be selected for that
place, but he has had a unique record
as president of school organizations.
Mr. Boyer was president of the Har
risburg school board both before and
after tho enactment of the code which
created the small board. Prior to
that he enjoyed the distinction of be-
L ng 1 e flrst President of the school
board who was a graduate of the
Harrisburg High school and president
of the alumni association. He served
as president of the Dauphin County
School Directors Association a few
years ago. Mr. Boyer plans to be an
active president and Intends to make
next February's annual meeting one
or unusual interest. This meeting
will occur during the session of the
legislature and the directors will have
several bills which they will bring
to the attention of the lawmakers,
notably that relative to citie's teachers
training schools, which was discussed
yesterday in the closing session. The
preparation for the meeting will be
started this summer and a program
of unusual interest outlined.
Between the expiration of tho
storage limit on millions of pounds
of butter and the huge importations
from Europe and Australia, Dairy and
I'ood Commissioner James Foust is
of the opinion that there will be still
Si?** declines in butter prices in
Philadelphia and throughout the
whole eastern part of the State. "Ac
cording to a report made to me there
are now 2,800,000 pounds of butter
in storage in Philadelphia alone "which
must come out of storage before April

Much of this butter will really have
to como out before March 1, as the
time limit will expire during Febru

year before our act went into effect,

more stored in other cold storage
Plants In the eastern part of the State,

pose to check up on this butter and to
see that It comes out just as we did

Miss Anna Cubbison, clerk and
stenographer in the department of
parks and public property, has won a
certificate of merit in the membership
of the Order of Gregg Artists, an hon

stenographers of especial ability. Miss
Cubbison made particularly good
marks when trying for membership by
taking down in shorthand a sample
copy of a business letter that had been
submitted in long hand, in awarding
her the certificate the committee com
mended her especially for neatness,
accuracy and speed.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
DEMOCRATS' SLATE
BEING UNCOVERED
One Man Added to the list Last
Night and Others Are Coming
Very Soon
WHERE IS MESTREZAT?
General Curiosity About Him—
Bull Moosers Having Their
Own Troubles Now
Little by little Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer is uncovering the
slate of the Democratic State machine
for the nominations to be made in
May.
Wednesday he announced that he
would run for Senator, the best place,
and that Vance C. McCormick would
run for Governor. Yesterday the ma
chine newspapers announced that
Judge Uustave A. Endlich, of Read
ing, was the ideal candidate for the
Supremo Court, although Buch nomi
nations and elections are supposed to
be nonpartisan. And last mgnt Wil
liam T. Creasy, a professional farmer
and head of the State Grange, which
is not supposed to be in politics, an
nounced that he would run for Lieu
tenant-Governor. Creasy has been
hand in glove with the reorganization
bosses, having gone out of the Demo
cratic party with some of them in
1910 and came back again next year
with the contention that he was Just
good a Democrat as he was when
he was lined up with Colonel James
M. Guffey.
In a day or so, when western coun
ties have had a chance to demand
that the ticket should not be con
centrated east of the Susquehanna
river, Palmer will permit a western
man, possibly Bruce Sterling, If he
linds he has no show for Senator In
Fayette, to announce himself for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs, and the
support of the machine for Superior
Court judge will likely be thrown to
a northern man. Then there will be a
Judicious distribution of the four nom
inations for Congressman-at-large.
Just how this slating is regarded by
Democrats not in the coniidence of
the machine is well illustrated -toy this
paragraph from the
Philadelphia Record
to-day. In quoting liosslsm and
Commissioner John Slate-making
J. Green, the big Are Scored
Philadelphia Demo
cratic newspaper
says: "Wo have abundant evidence
that Democratic workers and voters
in this city, as well as throughout the
State, are incensed at the bosslsm of
Palmer, McCormick, Morris and
Blakslee. The revolt against the Pal
mer policy of bossism is particularly
pronounced in Chester and Delaware
counties, because of tho action of the
four reorganization leaders in brush
ing William H. Berry aside and re
fusing him a place on their ticket."
Republicans here are having a good
bit of fun watching the gyrations of
the Democrats and the Bull Moosers,
and are pointing to
the fact that in
Republicans contrast to the
Watching the llood of "announce-
Parade Go By ments" and the
quarrels in other
parties, they are
welcoming to the ranks men who went
out in 1912, and just waiting.for sen
timent to crystalize on candidates. It
is believed that ex-Governor Edwin S.
Stuart, for whom there has been a
popular demand, will not refuse to
run, and if he indicates he will run
Senator Sproul, Speaker Alter, Colonel
Watres and other men who have am
bitions will'line up behind him. The
quarrels in the Democratic party are
the best amusemeni ahe Republicans
have had in a long time.
The row in the Bull Moose organi
zation over the effort to centralize on
one candidate for Governor Is threat
ening to assume
large proportions.
In spite of the ap- Bull Moosers'
parent unanimity Troubles Are
for the adoption of Growing Now
the "concentration"
resolution at Thurs-
day's conference there is a pronounced
sentiment among • men influential in
the party's affairs to demand an open
primary. This is ' especially true of
the adherents of Congressman M.
Clyde Kelly,who is scheduled for elim
ination. William Flinn, who told
people here a short time ago that
Dean Lewis was the best candidate and
who had that opinion while here at
the conference, is declared by the Pub.
lie Ledger tolday to be back of the
English candidacy, but other observ
ers think tht Flinn is just using
English to line up the Lewis candi
dacy. State Treasurer Young is
standing on the sidelines and is sus
pected of being hopeful that condi
tions might turn so that he would
have to be taken up as a compromise
candidate, in which event he would
accept with apparent reluctance.How
ever, the signs are that the leaders of

The Central Democratic Club last
night lined up behind the local bosses
in style. Local pride came to the front
with thirty men and
the candidacies of
Van Boosts Palmer, McCormlck,
Vance In a Royal and Moesleln
Resolution were endorsed, the
Mayor being given a
fine send-off since he
has decided to run with someone to
finance the campaign safely clamped
on the slate ahead of him. The reso
lution was endorsed in a rip-snorting
Bpeech by Charles B. McConkey, who
was back in his old-time form, and
was very appropriately offered by T.
K. Van Dyke. There were some othei
patriots who had resolutions, but they
were put on sidings and the old re
liable VanDyke was sent through with
a white block signal.
According to a Washington dis
patch, "Secretary of State William
Jennings Bryan is understood to be
very much annoyed
over a statement sent
out from here last Bryan Not
night indicating that to Fight
he would go into Mr. Kyan
Pennsylvania during
the coming primary
contest and oppose the candidacy of
Michael J. Ryan for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, and espouse
the candidacy of Vance C. McCormlck
for the same nomination.
Mr. Bryan's friends say he has no
intention of doing anything of the
kind. They point to the fact that
when Mr. Bryan was first a candidate
for President on the Democratic
ticket to 1896, Mr. McCormick openly
opposed his election and contributed
to the campaign funds of his oppo
nents, while City Solicitor Ryan, of
Philadelphia, openly supported him
and contributed to his campaign fund,
not only in that campaign but In
every campaign in which he was a
candidate."

HE FOOLED ME!
By Wine Dinger,
When old groundhog saw his shadder,
T'other day, away I went,
'Cause I thought the rascal's shadder
Some mean weather surely meant.
Went down South and calmly waited
For the news of weather bad.
But found folks up North were having
Fine Spring weather—all were glad.
So I packed my bags up quickly.
To my home at once I came,
Thought was foolish spending money
In the South for days the same.
Landed Thursday night and pff to
Bed I went and fell asleep,
Woke up Friday, through the window
Saw the snow three Inches deep.
Then came rain and slushy walking;
Gosh! it was an awful day.
You can bet your life the next time
For six weeks I'll stay away.
Thirteen, twenty-three and other
Hoodoos give me no concern,
But this groundhog and his shadder
Is no myth, I've come to learn.
Barefaced Junior Yes, I'm trying
to raise a mustache, and I'm wondering
what color it will be when it comes
out.
Miss Green Gray, I«should say, at
the rate it appears to be growing.—

Letters to the Editor
MGILTS ON FEDERAL SQUARE
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
It is a matter of general regret that
the several clusters of electric lights
which formerly Illuminated Federal
square and vicinity are no longer in
service since the closing of the Fed
eral building. Cannot this be remedied?
It is decidedly dark and gloomy as
eonmpared with former conditions. The
cost is but comparatively small, and
Postmaster Sites should be able to
grant th's much wanted illumination.

COMMUNITY NEEDS
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
I deem it an honor, being somewhat
of a stranger within your gates," that
you ask me to write on some "Com
munity Needs." It Is true that I came
here a short time ago—being a resident
of Harrlsburg but six months but I
recognize that it is my community as
well as that of the oldest inhabitant.
L lB therefore my duty to give my best
effort for its upbuilding and growth,
Man also Is a migratory animal, chang
ing his place of residence from time to
time. As he settles down, it is Ills
duty to recognize that he is to give to
tlio community of which he becomes a
Part, the best of service and try to
render the maximum of efficiency. The
one pre-renuisite to community success
is the pulling together" of all com
ponents. The newcomer must not be
looked upon as an interloper. Unneces
sary handicaps must not be placed up
on him. This, my observation has as
sured me, is the woeful mistake of those
states where the "native Son" Idea pre
dominates and works mischief. To il
lustrate with a somewhat parallel ex
ample—the newly arrived Immigrant

spirit, (an sing "My County 'TIs of

cerity as the most blatant native. It
is well then for communities to wel
come well-meaning newcomers who add
both the mental equipment and moral
fiber, and who may be instrumental in
creating material wealth. The point
I would make is that the success
of communities is not bound up in con
fining Itself to circumscribed limits, but
to take into its councils the well mean
ing newcomer. The community's inter

A fellow feeling makes us wondrous
kind. The suffragist United States
Senator, who deliberately preferred to
make his prepared speech rather than
have his suffrage bill passed, will never
be criticised by any normal woman.
