In the early days the i mill was first, the safety of the I tor a secondary matter, if it was I thought about at all. In recent years, I however, every addition to the plants I of the big corporation at Steelton has j been built with the welfare of the op ■ erator in mind. Designers of recent j enlargements have devoted quite as | much thought to the man behind the I machine as to the machine itself. , This is not only right from a hu . nAnltarlan standpoint, but it ought to i pay in dollars and cents. It is only ■ reasonable to believe that a device that Is constantly menacing the life or i limb of the employe will be less effec ! tive from a producing standpoint than ; one which offers no perils to the man in charge. In the flrat instance tho workman must think more of his own safety than upon the task he is per forming, In the second he can give his whole thought to the work. An efficiency engineer Is not n'etded to figure out the answer. A Unlontown man named Burr is the possessor of a green bull pup. Add "bank" to his name and we will under stand. SUBSTITUTE FOR INSTITUTE IN view of the wonderful success of the short winter courses in agricul ture at State College, the proposal of a western State to present spe cial short courses for teuchers along the same line ought to be Interesting to Pennsylvania educators. !„ "Farming has been benefited by 'short courses;' why not school teach ing?" Thus argues Dean George F. James, of the of education of the University of Minnesota. By adopting the short-course plan of the agricultural colleges to the needs of teachers, Dean James hopes to Im prove the teaching standards of his State. On March 23 school super intendents and principals from all parts of Minnesota will gather at the Stato University for a week of special courses, designed to put them in touch with the latest developments In edu cation. "This seems to be a new- and inter esting development in higher educa tion," says Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Educutlon, in discussing their plan. "It would be worth while for other universities to investigate its possibilities.'' Minnesota's "Short Course for Teachers" will offer real university opportunites so far as these may bo obtained in tho short space of one week. Tho corps of instructors will include Dr. Lightner Wltmer, of the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. L. D. Colfman, of tho University of Illinois; Secretary C. A. Prosser, of the Na tional Society for the Promotion of In dustrial Education, and Commissioner David Snedden, of Massachusetts. Such a plan for Pennsylvania ought to prove far more beneficial than the annual "Institute" of doubtful results. A new interest is being shown in verse-writing, says the Outlook. Which will probably bo sufficient rea son for editors to requisition the busi ness ofllce for larger waste-baskets. DEER IN PENNSYLVANIA THE always interesting and usually accurate Toledo Blade in a re cent editorial comments upon the disappearance of deer from tho forests of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana, Illinois and lowa, leaving the impression that deer are on tho de crease in this State. Pennsylvania is also "closed to the American elk," we are told. The truth of the matter is that thero aro at the present time thousands of deer in Pennsylvania, more than there were fifteen years ago, and they aro on the increase. Also, the State is engaged in repopulating its forests with elk, several hundred of them having been brought to this State from the Jackson Hole country some yeas ago and liberated. These elk have taken to their new home sur prisingly well and are increasing rap- Idly In numbers. They are wild elk In every sense of the word, the State extending to them no other protection than that of barring gunners from their pursuit until such time as they can gain a firm foothold here. The Blade notes with surprise that wild deer within recent years have "come almost to the outskirts of De troit." Twice in the past five years the city limits of Harrisburg have been invaded by wild deer that successfully eluded all pursuers and made their way back to the hills, it lias not been so long, either, since a Rockville man captured an exhausted doe as it came out of the river not five miles north of the city. Dr. Knut Hjallnor Hainmarursk jolrl has accepted the task of form ing: a new Swedish Cabiitet. Glad Dr. Knut is not now figuring in the Pennsylvania campaign. Linotype operators have enough trouble as it is. Don't mind the fellow who is con tinually howling that the chances to-day are not what they were fifty years ago. That man was here fifty years ago and will be here fifty years from now. 1 tell you it Is not the famous or prominent men in this world who are the greatest. It is very often the little nren who do the big things. So declared former Governor Edwin S. Stuart In a speech before the Nor rlstown high school, Saturday. And everybody will endorse his statement. When the record of this old world shall have been completed it will be found that the modest, quiet, unassum ing men and women were the silent forces for the welfare of humanity. Little Highsplre has beaten Harris burg to It in the matter of auto-driven fire apparatus. Bloomsburg Normal School boasts of a class in wireless telegraphy, but, my, that's nothing; there have always been wireless telegraphy classes In co-edu oatlonal institutions. A fcouthern Judge holdp that » "111311 cannuA swear at his wife." We never considered It In the light of ran. Dart, Is the word for us. lewninfr Chan Trolleymen declared that the snow of Friday and Saturday Waß the hard est they have had to light since the days of tho great blizzard in the early part of February, 1899. This storm will be remembered as upsetting everything In the way of transporta tion In this section and piling the streets with about three feet of suow. It was marked by the same high winds that characterised the recent snow and paralyzed outdoor business tor a full twelve or fourteen hours after it had ceased to blow. Every one was occupied in digging out or being dug out. The storm of a few days ago, which has left abundant traces all over the State was marked by considerable drifting, and that 1b what made it diflleult for the trolley men to buck. Cars had to be run continuously for forfy-eight hours to keep tho tracks open and often opera tives had to leave the cars and go out with shovels to get the tracks cleared only to have them covered a few min utes later worse than ever. What made much trouble as well was the frosting - of the windows. The moist ure Inside the cars congealed on the windows and the inotorinon had to keep bunches of waste handy so that their view would not be obscured. And when they opened ventilators to lower Li *®niperature inside passengers kicked. In some instances defective panes of glass in windows of cars were broken by the combination of Jrost and jolting and the repairmen hud their hands full. Speaking about trolleymen, it is sin gular that In spite of the signs painted on the Hides of the cars warning pas sengers to have exact tare ready, com paratively few people make a point of having tho necessary nickel handy. On Saturday utght sixteen pooplc sot on one car at a single stop and every last one of thorn presented a dime or a quarter and not one a nickel. Dol lar bills rain on conductors on Sat urday nights, and occasionally they are asked to make change for "a live dollar bill and even for a yellow backed X. The company rules do not require change beyond a certain amount, but it is up to the operatives to maintain tho good will of the pub lic, and a lot of them do it at Incon venience to themselves. Hut it seems tough to be digging for change when half a dozen people are waiting to board a car and the doors are open. 1' ew people know that Harrisburg contributed not a little to the found ing of the great fortune which enabled Frank M. Woolworth to erect that $13,000,000 building in New York, with its record of being the highest in the world and also of being abso lutely free of debt. This building rep resents the last word In skyscrapers and there is not a dollar against It. \V oolworth has made all of his money In less than thirty years and he lias fifty millions or so. Ho started in business for himself in Utica, but where he got Ills real start mx* in Laneastor. Tho third store was opened in Tlatrlsburg and now he lius about i 40 stores. The Market Square Presbyterian Sunday school anniversary yesterday was not allowed to pass by without grateful remembrance to the splendid services of Judge S. J. M. jrcCarreli as superintendent. The Judge is ill at liis home, but the esteem in which he is held was shown by printing of his portrait on the front page of the program and this note of service: Forty-three years at the Sun- Iday school desk is the grand record of Mr. MeCarrell, the present superintendent of the Market Square Sunday school. Seven years assistant superin tendent to the beloved James W. Weir and thirty-six years super intendent of the senior depart ment. Forty-three years faithful, efficient, prayerful service for the Master in the Sunday school. And with it, thirty-seven years a rul ing elder In the Market Square Church, to which he was ordained in 1877. Congratulations from congregation and Sabbath school go out to Mr. MeCarrell on this our ninety-eighth anniversary. A Harrisburg lady on her way to the South dropped her leather bag on the floor of the car in which she was traveling and it was promptly picked up by an old gentleman who was sit ting on the chair opposite. She gave him a comprehensive glance, and said, "£ thank you very much, Mr. Can non." He lifted his fedora with the remark. "Pardon me, have I met vou in Washington?" "No," said she, "but I have seen your counterpart so frequently in newspapers and maga zines arid became acquainted in that way." To which the ex-speaker re plied, "Vou are observing and your memory is such you should have been a politician." The lady replied, "I should have been inasmuch as I come from a family of them." This was the beginning of a very pleasant little chat on the way to Washington and the Harrisburg lady was quite pleased that she had been able to recognize the famous statesman from his cari catures in the newspapers.

DUMB IRE IN K QUffIDDY Do Not Know Whether to Come Out For Lewis or Young or English Nowadays LOOKING FOR AN "ANGEL" Ryan Denies He Is Mixed Up in Liquor Business and Will Speak in Monroe Dauphin county Washington party men are trying to figure out which way the gubernatorial nomination cat is going to jump, and preference in regard to Lewis or Young or English is as hard to extract as dandelions from a Capitol Hill snowbank. The Daupbin Bull Moosers suffered con siderably when William Fllnn an nounced that the rank and file was going to finance the campaign this year aiul intimated that his days as the cheerful giver were over. A week ago the local Washington ians Were all for William Draper Lewis, but they have evidently heard something, because soinq of them arc now asserting that KobeVt K. Young and 11. D. W. English arc well quall flold. Young has a lot of friends here, most of whom turned In • for Lewis when the recent conference was held In this city, but they are now on the back track. The same situation prevails all over tho State and between now and the conference here on the 26th there will bo some tall fencing. It may even bo possible that a faction might go into the conference oposed to the slating of any candidate for Governor, as re quired by the resolution adopted here recently. City Solicitor Michael J. Ryan, can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, yesterday Issued a sweeping denial of the charge that his candidacy Is in the Ryau Makes Interest of the liquor Ilot Itetort Interests and a de- to Chalfant nunclation of those responsible for the allegation. Ho , links reorganized witli the attack. Mr. Ryan's statement reads: "There has been sent into every newspaper otflco in Pennsylvania a statement by Harry M. Chalfant. editor of the American Is3tie, In which I am held up as 'the candidate of the liquor inter ests of Pennsylvania,' and in which it is declared that the 'liquor interests have decided to stake their future on tlio hope of winning a battle' under my leadership. I would not. lead such a battle. I denounce the charge as absolutely destitute of truth, and I assert that its falsity was known to tho writer of the attack and to those who inspired its writing. The news papers of Philadelphia, on Wednes day last, reported a meeting of the day before at the Hellevue-Stratford, attended not only by tho men who claim to own absolutely tho Demo- party in Pennsylvania, but also by this Harry M. Chalfant. At that meeting this scheme of attack was concocted, and its execution is now In progress. I repeat that so far as it relates to me it is, in its entirety and in its details, a wicked and malicious falsehood. I have no relations —-per- sonal. professional or political—with the liquor interests of Philadelphia or Pennsylvania, and I never did have. Surely my opponents must bo hard driven when they are compelled to resort to such despicable tactics." A pretty kettle of fish has been found In Monroe county, the home of Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer and the county where tho candidacy of Vanco Ryan Will C. MeCormick was S|>ealt iii endorsed for the Dem- Old Monroe ocratic nomination for Governor. Right on top of the endorse ment the East Stroudsburg Board of Trade, composed of some of the big gest men in the county, invited Pal mer to speak at its annual dinner and also invited Michael J. Ryau. Ryan has accepted the invitation and the friends of Palmer are tilling tho air with protests, claiming that it. would look as though Monroe was not solid for MeCormick after all. It is ex pected that within a fortnight a big meeting will be held at Clearfield, at which Ryan will be the chief speaker. This county is one in which the re organization clique has been unable to secure anything but noise. The Philadelphia Press of to-day says: "Failure of potential Republi can State leaders to agree on any one as the candidate for Governor has result ed In reviving booms Sproul and lor Senator Wil- Dixon Once 11am C. Sproul, of More Boomed Delaware county, and Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, of Montgomery. One week ago Indications pointed strongly to the nomination of ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart. But. his known disinclination to again seek the office, together with the launching of the Brumbaugh can didacy, tended to broaden out the field of possibilities. Senator Sproul is not disposed to run, though it is believed he could be prevailed upon to do so. Four years ago the Delaware Senator was far more ambitious for guberna torial honors than he is at present. In fact, two weeks ago he positively an nounced that he would not be a candi date. That declaration was made, however, at a time when everything indicated the nomination of Stuart." iroUTlCAbSlD6bl6f)rsl —Even the blizzard cannot keep the Democratic factionisls from say ing things about each other. —lt appearß to be a contest as to which faction of the Democrats shall stand In with a certain temperance organization. —John R.

"BI.UIC MONDAY'' Hy Wine Dinger. There aro some folks who scumble on Monday, No matter what they have to do. Or whether tho sun may be shining— With them Monday always is blue. Thoy start out to work with a grouch on, They spoil the day ere It's begun. They see nothing good neath the hoav ans, From the rise to the set of the «un. Then others I know, who are different, On Monday they start to their work With laughter that urges performance Of duties that grouches would shirk. With them there's no difference twlxt Monday And the six other days of the week; They \ro happy and cheerful at all times. No matter when to them you speak. So I looked into matters a wee bit, The reason I wanted to know. Why some should be grouchy on Mon days While others good spirits should show. And I fpund that in nearly all cases. That those on whose daya there's a smirch. Stick around In their homes all day Sundays. While the huppy ones go out to _ church.

REPUBLICAN PARTY'S FI'TUnK [From the Philadelphia Press.] It is a bright future that Senator Borah sees for the party. All of the signs are favorable. In tho first call to arms after the defeat, in the State of Michigan, which in 1912 was car ried by the Progressive party, thou sands who had cast Progressive ballots in tho preceding November returned to tho fold and the State was won by the Republicans. The same thing hap pened in Maine, in the Congressional elections. Last Fall in Now Jersey nearly 100,000 who had voted the third ticket returned to their old party al legiance. In Maryland, at the same time 60,000 out Of 57,000 left the Progres sive party. The recent registration In several States discloses the same home ward bound march. In Senator Borah's mind there is no doubt as to what this signifies. It moans that even the men who voted agaiifst the Republican ticket because of what they conceived to be a mistake or a wrong, are too wise to abandon permanently tho name, the traditions, thp prestige and honor that thev and their forbears have established and built up through fifty years of relent less political warfare. It means that such voters are convinced that the Re publican party is to be the militant real progressive force of tho future. FIRKLIGUT^ I love to sit by the embers As they sparkle, and fade, and creep. While Twilight gathers her children And tucka them away to sleep When the noises of Day are softened To a soothing, mellow croon, Ere the reign of the Night is ushered By her herald, the weird-faced moon. There's a magio balm In the gloaming For the day-racked weary brain And my care-freed fancy wanders In the paths afar from pain. • The visions and dream of boyhood Pass before me clear and bright. In the changing coals and ashes, As twilight fades into night. The pillar of Are before me Takes a deeper and stronger glow; Calling me onward and upward As It did In the long ago; And I know that my heart grows younger. That my soul climbs nearer the Truth. twilight-hour communings With the things of my vanished youth. So I love to sit by the embers ■nrt ?, they sparkle, and fade, and creep. While twilight gathers her children And tucks them away to sleep. —David DeMay Farnsworth. AN EVENING THOUGHT Barking dogs Beldom bite.— Anon.
