TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 17
JUDGE KUNKKI/S FITNESS
IT Is not surprising that so much
favorable comment has been
evoked in the newspapers and
among the lawyers of tho State by
the suggestion of the name of George
Kunkel, President Judge of the Courts
of Dauphin county, in connection with
the nonpartisan nomination for the
Supreme Court. Such a selection
would bo admirable in every way and
the bar associations of Central Penn
sylvania should be the leaders in a
definite movement to bring tho name
of Judge Kunkel before the voters of
the State In the May primary.
If thero is any virtue In the non
partisan law as affecting the judiciary,
now is the time for tlic electorate to
demonstrate the fact. Wo believe tho
able and upright and level-headed
jurist who sits in the courts of this
district is equipped an no other Com
mon Picas judge in the Stato is
equipped for the important work of
tho higher tribunal.
Judge Kunkel has some good old
fashioned notions about tho dignity of
the bench and it goes without saying
that he would never engage in a per
sonal campaign for his elevation to
the highest court in the Common
wealth, but his friends in all parts
of the State are busy in his behalf and
the bar of this district would be unani
mous in his support. Political, con
siderations would cut no figure. His
superior qualifications are recognized
on every side and men of all parties
would delight to honor him for the
high-minded and able service which
he has given the and the district
during the last ten years.
These are the days of the discrimi
nating voter and the nomination of
euch a jurist as George Kunkel in a
State-wide primary would do moro to
vindicate the law than any develop
ment of the present mi.xs.ii campiufrn.

'ROUND WORLD FLIGHT
THE most spectacular adventure
ever proposed is the "round the
world flight" from San Fran
cisco to San Francisco as a part
of the great Panama Exposition cele
bration next year. Tho race, the cli
max of all the world's aeronautical
activities, is to start from the grounds
of the exposition in Muy, 1915, and
must be finished within ninety days,
according to the tentative plans sub
mitted to the Pacific Aero Club, rep
resentative of the Aero Club of Amer
ica, which is the American division
of the Federation Aeronautiquo Inter
nationale. Thus the flight becomes
the most tremendous aerial drama
ever played.
Aviators have long discussed the
■project of round-the-world aeroplane
tours. The great distance already ne
gotiated under the most difficult cir
cumstances indicate that an aeroplane
tour of the world is only a question or
adequate arrangements for oil, relays,
etc., and that it has not already been
done is due to the item of cost.

POLITICAL TEMPTATION'
COL. JOSEPH B. HUTCHISON
has done nothing to Justify his
removal us chief of police and
while we sympathize with those
Republicans who view with increasing
indignation the firing of their breth
ren by Democratic bosses In violation
of everj' principle of decency we still
believe that Colonel Hutchison has
been a good official and ought to be
retained.
In fact, the introduction of the
merit system in the police and fire
departments cannot come too soon
for the welfare of Harrisburg. Civil
service regulations would relievo the
commissioners of the endless maul
ing of job hunters and give thorn
time for the real business of the city.
Such a system would also remove tho
temptation to use important depart
ments, as was done under the Royal
administration, for the building up
of a political machine.
We trust, the Republicans who are
in a majority in the City Council, the
first under the commission form of
government, will resist the quite nat
ural impulse to wliack a Democratic
head wherever they see it if for no
other reason than the rebuke which
I such u course of official action would
administer to their partisan critics.
No, Maude, you shouldn't feel flat

CHANGES IN CHINA
MUCH as has been said concern
ing the swing back of China
toward imperialism, changes
in methods of government that
have prevailed there for ages past are
being made .with startling rapidity.
Who could have.lmagined civil serv
ice in China three or four years ago?
Yet steps are now being taken, in
sharp contrast with our own Demo
cratic attempts to break down the
merit system at Washington, to place
the civil service of the new republic
on a firm and enduring basis.
It is the intention of the govern
ment to pave the way for a steady
succession of reforms in methods of
appointment; and not merely is the
system to be applied to the provincial
staffs, but high offices as well as sim
ple clerkships are to be under the civil
service rules.
For this reason, according to a
presidential mandate, all pi'esent offi
cials are to be considered as being ap
pointed merely pro tem. As suitable
candidates prove their proficiency and
efficiency, the temporary appointees
will step down to make way for their
successors. The necessary qualifica
tions for the higher posts include a
threo years successful course of law in
China or abroad; or two years experi
ence in the service of the administra
tion and six months study of law; fa
miliarity with international treaty
obligations, the constitution, essential
questions of administration, and a
proper understanding of local and na
tional customs and ideals.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted to the Honorable Champ Clark,
Mitch Palmer and those other ar
dent reformers who are so keen to
knock the props from beneath civil
service appointees in order that favor
ites who could not pass the required
examinations may be given jobs to pay
political debts and Increase the power
of the Democratic machine.
General Salazar is finding it more
difficult to get away from his United

THE BANK GUARANTEE
THE trustworthiness of William
Jennings Bryan's governmental
schemes and advice may be
judged by the manner in which
his bank guarantee plan is working
out in Oklahoma, the only State that
has had the temerity to put in into
operation.
YVhen Bryan voiced his worthy suc
cessor to the "16 to 1" slogan there
were many who professed to see in it
an end to wildcat banking and per
fect security for both banks and
public. Oklahoma believed so thor
oughly in it—that is, those in chargo
of the lawmaking department of the
government did—that it was enacted
into a State statute.
It is interesting to note how tho
idea is working out in every day prac
tice. Without going into a maze of
figures, available for those desiring to
ucquaint themselves fully with the sub
ject in the recently issued State bank
ing report of Oklahoma, it may be
stated that "wildcatting" has greatly
Increased in that State since the pas
sage of the new law, and perfectly
trustworthy banks have been assessed
un annual average of almost 3 per
cent, on their capital, or 1 per cent,
of their dally deposits, to make good
the losses of banks that failed. In
addition to the limit placed on the
amount the banks may be assessed as
their share, the State has agreed to
make good to depositors all losses. It
Is now more than $650,000 behind in
payment of these obligations. In ad
dition the wildcat banks are on the in
crease and nobody can foresee the end.
This Is a fine commentary on tho
-.agacity and foresight of our Secre
tary of State, Is it not? Incidentally,
it may be proper to note here the
announcement of to-day's newspapers
that Mr. Bryan is coming Into Penn
sylvania next Fall to tell us how to
do things here.

Use of the new Harrisburg Public
Library to secure information for de
bates, essays and what not has become
so general that the young ladles at the
library are required to be on the jump.
The reference work was Inaugurated
by Miss Alice R. Eaton, the librarian,
before the doors were opened ilnd
during the month of January 116
questions of a formal character were
unswered, and this number did not
Include information as to where to
Ilnd certain things. It meant tne giv
ing of information. In the first two
weeks of this month almost ninety
similar questions have been answered
and many people informed where to
look for data. Reference work is new
In Harrisburg and is something which
has long been needed. The City Clerk's
office, the Prothonotary's office, the
Mayor's olllce and the School Board
offices furnish data about tho govern
ment or the courts very promptly and
the Legislative Reference Bureau at
the Capitol has the State government
down pat, but the new public library
fits in mighty well as a place where
information on almost any subject can
be procured at short notice and It Is
tho greatest place the students of the
high schools and of the grammar
grades ever knew to fcet the facts for
debating evenings or for writing their
essays.
The officials of the Auditor General's
Department who are in charge of the
mothers' pension law receive some odd
letters in almost every mail these
days. Many women are making direct
application, being unaware that such
mutters must first be handled by
county boards. Yesterday a letter
came from a young woman stating
that her mother, who had planned to
apply for a pension, had just died and
asking If she might not make tho
application. Most of the applicants
go into detail as to their qualifications
for pensions, one woman stating that
she wus a cook housekeeper.
People who had shivers over attend

People who heard Munson Havens,
the famous executive of the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, speak before
the Harrisburg Chamber a few days
ago were Impressed with him as a
level-headed, sagacious man of busi
ness, and will doubtless be very much
surprised to learn that he is some
what of an author of the light and
airy as well. In fact, he is one of the
most versatile of men in American
business life to-day, as this criticism
of his work from the Philadelphia
Ledger will show: "While the timely
and very readable love romance, "Old
Valentines," by Munson Havens, is
built upon the lightest of sentiment,
never for a moment does it lapse into
mawkish sentimentality; and through
out are evidences of sterling work
manship. It deals chiefly with the love
affair of Phyllis Oglebay and John
Landless. Phyllis' father was an artist
and her mother an actress, and when
Phyllis falls In love with a poet her
matter-of-fact old uncle, Sir Peter
Oglebay, who brought her up, regards
it as an unforgivable calamity. Phyllis
and John go tlielr own wav, however
and are married. Phyllis has no
money and John has btt little, but life
Is made easier for them by discovering
in their landlady the old nurse wh<>
cared for Phyllis when she was a little
baby. Phyllis' mother's name was
Y alentine, and Phyllis' most cherished
possession is a wonderful collection of
old valentines which her father gave
her mother at different times. In
directly, these old valentines bring
about a reconciliation between Sir
Peter and the young neonle, and the
story leaves them all happily situated
in the old country home where John
lived when a boy. It is a wholesome
story of sentiment, with no problem
and just enough plot to give it a pleas
ing flavor."

When T. R. runs for office, not only
do "the nizaors go flyln' through the

By proxy T. R. is no successful
worker. Without his magical person
ality the ablest, the most attractive
candidates have comparatively hard
sledding. Others he cannot save. To
himself, personally appearing, goes a
fervent following, such as makes tho
worshippers of Clay and Blaine look
like frozen turnips.
T. R. loves to run as well as his ad
mirers and all students of trouble liko

FRANKLIN BLIZZARD HIT
Snow Interfered With Detrich's
Talking
at Philadelphia
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer,
Democratic national committeeman
and the presidential candidate for
United States Senator, gave a few
practice blasts on his first aid whistle
in Philadelphia lust night when he
announced that Secretary of State
William Jennings Bryan might be
called Into Pennsylvania to save tho
day. Mr. Palmer also took occasion
to announce that Vance C. McCormick
would not retire from tho race for the
Democratic nomination for Governor,
and asserted that Michael J. Ryan
need not expect any aid or counte
nance from tho national administra
tion, because he had not made
speeches for Wilson. Furthermore,
Mr. Palmer intimated that President
Wilson was interested in slating Mc-
Cormick.
Palmer's remarks in Philadelphia
have ftlready had the effect of making
madder Democrats In this section of
the State who resent Interference in
Pennsylvania primary politics of a
Jerseyman, and will doubtless inflame
people with similar views in other
parts of the State. The coming of
Bryan did not appear to worry the
friends of Ryan here very much, who
remarked that his visits hero would
probably be made to fit in with some
ohautauqua date at a good rate, and
they smiled when they thought of
Bryan with memories of 1896 advo
cating the nomination of Vance C.
McCormick.
The Progressive campaign got sort
of snowed up at its much-heralded
start-off in Franklin county last night,
and In spite of the
well-meant efforts of
many folks to give Blizzard
State Chairman Nevin Bumped the
Detrich the compli- Bull Moose
ment of a rousing
crowd at the first
meeting in his home county, they
found that the warm side of tho stove
was better than ploughing through
drifts. Hence, the meeting in the
Rosedale Opera House was small, al
though Glfford Pinehot and Moses E.
Clapp made up for the coldness of the
atmosphere and tho paucity of audi
tors by red-hot speeches. Pinehot did
not refer to Penrose at all. Ex-Rep
resentative David Speer, who may run
again, presided. The Waynesboro
contingent was snowed up and never
arrived.
A Philadelphia newspaper says;
"Ex-Mayor J. Benjamin Ditnmick, of
Scranton, who haß entered tho field
against Penrose
for Senator at the
Dimmlck and Republican pri-
Penroso Make niaries, spent yes-
Announcements terday in this city
planning for his
campaign. 'I have
entered the contest for the United
States senatorshlp because of the
State-wide desire, which I share, for
higher and better things in the poli
tics of Pennsylvania, and the belief
that If we make our strength effective
we can redeem the State,' he declared.
'But immediate and concerted action
is necessary, and this will now be
taken.'"
"Senator Penrose, who has refrain
ed from formally announcing his can
didacy, stated yesterday that Repub
lican prospects would not be Injured
by giving tlfe Depiocrats and Bull
Moose men the center of the stage for
the present. 'The Democrats gave an.
exhibition of a popular primary at the
White House and Fllnn held his at
Harrlsburg,' he said. 'The Republican
party will hold a real popular pri
mary. I do not know that either Mr.
Stuart or Superintendent Brumbaugh
is prepared to go to the primaries, we
must wait until the sentiment crystal
lizes. Every candidate is entitled to
a fair field.' "
The Philadelphia Record, the big
Democratic organ of Eastern Penn
sylvania, says to-day: "While Wil
liam T. 1 Creasy is
regarded as the
probable selection Record Says
for Lieutenant-Gov- McCormick Is
emor, no decision Not Strong
has been reached
upon any of the
other State offices. Reports received
from all over the State, reciting the
weakness of McCormick as a candi
date and advising that he be dropped
as a sure loser, are said to have con
vinced Palmer that ho would further
err in naming some of his other can
didates so well in advance. While it
has been announced that McCormick
will remain In the field, men lookfng
for a strong ticket for next Fall's
election, and desiring that the National
Committeeman use his Influence to
ward this end, have continued to write
to Congressman Palmer, urging him
to discard the Harrlsburg man and
support City Solicitor Ryan in hla
stead."
It is believed that the reorganiza
tion leaders will arrange for an early
meeting of the State committee, which
will have to shortly
revise the party rules
Democrats to accord with the new
Want Call election laws. This
Issued Now meeting has been
planned for several
months but has been
postponed, It has been explained,
through fears that embarrassing reso
lutions may be presented at the gath
ering of the body. The rank and file
has not taken any too kindly to the
recommendations of President Wilson
for the greatest freedom of action at
primary elections, and it Is stated that
they do not relish the prospects of
being placed on record In any manner
upon this Important reform move
ment of the national administration.
SUPER-POLITICIANS
[From the New York Herald]
Solemn note of warning to President
Wilson against the dangers Involved in
his taking a hand In Pennsylvania
politics is sounded by the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The President, it
seems, has not only dictated a ticket
for Pennsylvania Democrats, but to
make Its success sure has placed all
Pennsylvania patronage at the dis
posal of the men on the ticket. ,
The fate that overtook President
Arthur as the result of his attempt to
dictate to his party in respect to the
candidacy of Folger is cited by our
Philadelphia .ontemporary. As if that
historic <-a.se furnishes a. parallel:

Letters to the Editor
WOMAN OBJECTS TO A CABTOON
To tin Editor of The Telegraph: '
I have been waiting in vain for
some other person to express disap
proval of the cartoon that disgraced
the front page of the Telegraph one
month ago to-day. This was entitled
"Tho Strong Arm of tho Daw," and
showed a hand Inscribed "The Daw"
thrusting into prison "Vice" in the
form of a woman, while the righteous
public tyjjilied by the figure of a man
stood by clapping his hands, and ex
claiming "At Last." X wish to protest
against the injustice to womanhood in
using tho figure of a woman to sym

shown that man, rather than woman,
is responsible fofr the vice of this city.
Wliy then should it be necessary to
use woman as . an emblem for vice,
while guilty man stands aside and
applauds. It is the old story of Adam
and Eve, the former saying, "It was
the fault of the woman, Dord." It
would seem that the memory of a
sainted mother, or of a pure sister,
should be enough to prevent the car
toonist from degrading womanhood
by representing* it In this false and
loathsome light.
For months it has been the custom
of the local papers to parade the
names and addresses of fallen women.
Why are not the worse debauched
men given equal publicity? Protec-

IF you get more enjoyment from
smoking a good ten cent cigar
where is the extravagance? The
all Havana quality of
MO/A 10c CIGARS
has the "punch" that gets in its
work, and makes it worth more to
the particular smoker than a dime's
worth of nickel cigars.
