They bring to the largo majority of us whose of travel must be necessarily •mall glimpses of scenes, llfo and •venta in far-away climes that other- Vise would have to remain as closed hooks to us. To be sure, the inven tion has been misused. But it is not tho fault of the moving picture Itself that it haa been made to serve evil purposes. Greedy film producers have held that they must produce "thrillers" In ®rder to attract the crowds—Just ns years agono the theatrical managers told us the blood-curdling melodrama ■was necessary to get people into their playhouses. Yot the day of the melo drama haa passed and tho theaters are Btlll operating on a profit-making basis. So It will bo with the Wild West and Nick Carter forms of moving pic ture entertainments. Tho Telegraph believes that the public Is ready for a change. It be lieves that Ilarrisburgers will attend moving picture shows that have edu cational as well as entertaining quali ties. To that end it is ready to pay the expenses of making a test. Next week it will bring to Harrlsburg the noted Niblo talks and moving pictures of distant lands. Without question this is the most extensive, expensive, rare and remarkable collection of strictly up-to-date travelogues and moving pictures ever presented. Chestnut Street Hall has been en gaged for the week. Every afternoon and evening performances will be given. The regular admission fee is 25 cents and tho entertainment Is (sufficient to occupy a full evening. To bring the price down to something like the sum usually charged for admis sion to moving picture theaters the Telegraph has arranged that by pre •entlng a coupon clipped from this newspaper and 10 cents additional tho price of a ticket will be reduced 15 cents. In other words, the coupon end a dime will be received as full admission fee. The Telegraph is not attempting to rompete with the moving picture the aters. It Is Amply trying to demon strate what It has long contended— that the public Is not clamoring for blood and thunder in Its "movies," that it is ready and anxious to patron ize places presenting such films as are herewith described. What will tho answer be? It Is up to the readers of this newspaper. GOOD WORK OX Tin; STREETS THE snowfall of the past week the heaviest in many years—has been admirably handled by Com missioner Lynch. Tho task that ronfronted him was gigantic, but ho ■went at it in a manner that brought •words of praise from everybody who observed the well-organized force of men and carts that has been digging tho city out of the drifts that were left ■when the clouds swept by and th<* ■winds ceased to pile up the accumu lation of whiteness. Mr. Lynch has long been noted for his ability as a street cleaner. Under his previous administration Harrlsburg attained a fair reputation for tho spot less condition in which its highways were kept. He has demonstrated that he Is the man for the Job and that ho has lost none of his cunning in the few years that intervened oetween his occupancy of the office ns Highway Commissioner and now as City Coun cilman. e. MEXICO EVERY indication points to the ultimate intervention of the United States in Mexico. The outrages against foreigners that have culminated in the shooting of a prominent Englishman and tho hang ing of a well-known American rancher cannot be tolerated. Neither the Fed erals nor the Revolutionists have any regard for human life. Both Huerta 4ind Villa display what may be cither c ontempt for American arms or a de liberate attempt to compel the sending of American soldiers lntn Mexico. II Is difficult lo decide which, in view of the meager information concerning the relations between the strife-ridden THURSDAY EVENING, republic and the United States that tire permitted to leak out of the White House. The Wilson administration has proved Itself pitifully weak in dealing: with this situation. It has not meas ured up to either American or foreign expectations. It has failed to find any' way out of the dilemma. Its policy of "watchful waiting" means little more than procrastination waiting and Watching because those who should j know do not know. Before the final j step is taken —before the state of war that would necessarily follow the crossing of the Rio Grande by our troops—it might be well to permit the Senate to take a hand. The dis cussion of the situation by Secretary Bryan with the Senate committee on foreign relations is a step in the right direction. , Nobody wants to see the nation shoulder a big war debt or engage unnecessarily in warfare, but if inter vention must come it may as well be before countless Jives of innocent and unoffending persons have been sacri ficed. NAV IGABLE SUSQI EIIANXA MANY will no doubt smile Indul gently over Congressman Moore's expressed belief that the Susquehanna will be 0110 day a navigable stream. Congressman Moore Is so much impressed with the idea that ho has askod Congress to revoke the War Department ruling recognizing the stream as open to com merce only as far north as the Mary land line. So many attempts have been made jto devise a way of making the Sus quehanna river a navigable stream and so many difficulties stand in the way that it is little wonder that those who know most about the subject are In clined to be doubtful. It must not be forgotten, however, that Mr. Moore has made a deeper study of inland waterways than almost any other man who has ever sat In Congress. He is acquainted with all the conditions of which he speaks. He has personally gone from one end of the Susquehanna to the other and he has the reports of waterway experts who have acted as his advisers. He knows the obstacles that stand In the way and he is never theless of the opinion that some day the river will be open to the commerce of the world. With the opening of the Panama canal we are ready. to«bolieve almost anything in the way of proposed en gineering undertakings upon which men who should know set the stamp of their approval. It is entirely pos sible that a series of dams and locks could be devised that would permit the bringing of the ocean liners, or at least large coasting vessels, up the Susquehanna as far as Harrisburg. It is reasonable to suppose that, the feat J being possible, It will be accomplish ed whenever the need shall bo deemed sufficient to warrant the tremendously heavy expenditure that would be en tailed. IMMIGRATION TESTS THE Telegraph has received an unsigned communication evi dently from the pen ol' a farmer —upholding the literacy lest for immigrants, against the adoption of which by Congress this and many other right-thinking newspapers have pro tested. In part it is as follows: There can be no excuse for over loading our country with ignorant foreigners. You do wrong to try to help open our gates to them. What good are they to the farmer, for instance? Do we get any bene fit from them? Do they go to the farm to work, where men are needed? Tell me that. Our correspondent is mistaken in believing that no immigrants go to the farms. Government statistics show that thousands of them do, and that many such are now operating In dependently and accumulating wealth. And Isn't it very much the farmer's own fault that more of the newcom ers do not go to the soil? What sort of organized effort does the Pennsyl vania farmer, for instance, make to obtain immigrant labor to take up the work that he cannot find native-born men to perform? But there is another side to the matter, and a very practical one, too. Discussing it the New York American, a Democratic newspaper that has lit tle sympathy with the Underwood tariff slashing, says: .Tust lately this country has done about all that it could to injure the farmer with so-called "tariff reform." Whatever the farmer produces now comes without any taxation. Cattle from Mexico como across the border without any tax. farm products from Canada and from all over the world—and our wise Government did not even tako the trouble to demand reciprocity for our farmers. With the European. Canadian, Argentine, Mexican and all other farms 1 competing with our own, and with no tariff to protect our farm ers—the men who pay high duties on what they want—what is to be come of the farms? Would it not be a good idea, at least, to permit the immigrants to come in to eat the things that the farms produce? A hundred thousand immigrants eat a good many bushels of pota toes, a good many pounds of pork and beef. If the farms of this country have been growing, if the wealth pro duced from the soil has so far ex ceeded all other wealth—lt Is be cause we have had here people able and willing to buy that farm pro duce and eat it up. Farmers might Interest them selves In this Immigration proposi tion, for what they need is popula tion, men that work hard through the day, eat heartily at night and make farming worth while by buy ing farm products. The farmers of Pennsylvania are not so far removed from the days of their own immigration that they have been able to get rid of tho language of the fatherland their own forebears left for the greater opportunities of the new world. As a whole, they are by no means In a position to condemn the ambitious European of to-day to forego the chance for advancement offered In this country and we do not believe that many of thorn are so soltish or so ignorant as to do so. AN EVENING THOUGHT Some line meat that cauna. eat. And some would cat thai want it: Hut wo hae meat and we can eat, Sae let ihe Lord be thankit. -—Burns. evening chAT The conference of the adherents of the Washington party here yesterday is likely to be the last of the political meetings here until after the pri maries In May and It seems rather strange not to have State conventions' In a gubernatorial year and to have meetings of committees instead of the old-time, picturesque gatherings of leaders and men who want to lead. Under the direct primary law the con ventions were made a thing, of the past and it was contemplated that such things as siatos should be for gott< n along with the conventions. But political methods do not change with laws and some of the advocates of the change are rather busy nullifying its provisions Tho next meetings of any Domical atanlflt .aice will be held here the primary law the conij-ol of Stat ■ committees was taken out of tho handj of parties and placed under tho 'aw Just as the primaries were yenio years ago taken from con -1 of pa> Tisun bodies.

He says in part: "Re gardmg some of the personnel of some ™ working forces In the campaign, David Martin was a member of the Republican State committee; and Ed gar Plnchot represented Pike county.

Perhaps the county committeeman of 1882 was the father of the gentleman who now wishes to appear in the United States senatorial toga, and Senator Penrose may need to revise his assertion that brother Pinchot did not know Penn sylvania was on the map six months ago. In that same year Daniel H. Hastings was chairman of the Center county Republican committee. A. S _ \hi®lds represented Philadelphia, and \\illia>m U.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LEWIS WILL LEAD THE BULL MOOSERS Selected to Be Nominee For Gov ernor at Secret Conference in Gty Hotel McCORMICK GETS BUMPED Philadelphia's Big Democratic Club Fails to Endorse Him For Governor i It looks as though a compromise I waa reached last night between the ! Flinn and Van \ r al ken burg factions jof tho Washington party. William >Draper Lewis, the scholarly West | Phlladelplilan who has been much In ! tho public eye since tho Roosevelt | movement began, wan selected as can didate for Governor. He got 21 votes to 17 for State Treasurer Robert 'K. Young. Young is close to VanValken burg and probably coitld have been nominated If he had gone out after tho prize and taken the chances of a factional fight. Flinn backed H. D. W. English lip to the last week and went away, leaving English so high and dry that ho did not think It worth while to come here. The Bull Moosers picked a slato in tho fashion approved by President j Wilson, only, for the sake of appear ances, they had more people present than at the recent Democratic White House primaries. Fifty members of various committees met behind closed doors in the Commonwealth Hotel and with much oratory "invited" various men to become candidates. It was all very amusing because when the last conference was broken up in a snarl the men suggested for Governor were told to meet and eliminate, reporting one man. Yesterday the aforesaid suggested ones reported back, asking the conference to do it. Then the conference did. In addition to the votes for Lewis and Young, English, Wllhelrn and Cauflfiel got a few. Some one wanted to have a second ballot because some late members arrived, but it was defeated 24 to 22. The ticket as slated by the Wash ingtonlans is as follows: Governor, Dean Lewis, of the law school of the University of Penn sylvania; Lieuten ant-Governor, Percy Slate Made F. Smith, jury com- l T p For the missioner of Alle- May Primary ntiiy county and old - time reformer; Secretary of Internal Affairs, Con gressman Fred E. Lewis, Allentown, switched from Congress-at-large, and l'or Congress-at-large, In addition to Rupley and Walters, bidden to be candidates again some time ago. Rep resentative C. F. Swift. Beavef, a member of the Anti-Saloon League staff, and Lex N. Mitchell, the Punx stawney lawyer. Pinchot was invited sonic time ago and is about ready with his declaration. Dr. J. H. Krelder yesterday di vorced himself from the county chair manship of tho Washington party in this county, but con tinued to hold fast to Kreider to his lucrative job in the Hold to u Auditor General's De- Capitol Job partmcnt and to his ambitions and hopes to be nominee for Con gress. The Doc was the only one of ull the valiant Bull Moosers In this county to grab oft' a nice place when places were to be given out. and when he also wanted to run for Congress it was suggested that he let go of some thing. Charles H. Landls, who has been on the hopeful list for some years, will likely succeed the canny doctor as chairman. The Doc'a papers for Cohgress are to be on exhibition soon. The sorrows of the Democratic bosses are multiplying and the man ner in which organizations through out the State are re fusing to play the selfish game of the Philadelphia Palmer - McCormlck Club Refuses faction, is one of the Endorsements most striking things that have occurred since the Jersey slate was made for Pennsylvania at the White House. The Democratic Club of Philadelphia, heretofore bossed by the reorganiza tion chiefs, last night actually declined to endorse McCormlck a# a candidate for Governor. This is the club which has been held up by reorganlzers as the greatest organization of its kind in the State. The West End Demo cratic Club of this city has thrown into the waste basket a similar resolu tion, and efforts to have representa tive Democratic clubs in Pittsburgh, Scranton and elsewhere go on record in favor of McCormlck have been knocked higher than a kite on the ground that clubs should not take such action in advance of primaries. The Central Democratic Club stands almost alone in endorsing the fac tional candidate before the primaries. Tho election of a Republican to succeed Enos M. Jones as Senator from the 1-luntingdon-Blair district is said to be assured by prominent residents of Huntingdon that district because Democrats of the bitter factional Are Wary fight which has broken out among the Demo crats. Efforts have been made to heal it, but the follow ers of Ryan and McCormlck are at daggers' points, and the state of mind of Democratic workers in Huntingdon county was Indicated yesterday when a meeting of men friendly to the Mc- Cormlck candidacy held at Hunting don failed to adopt a resolution en dorsing the llarrisburg man. The best that could be done was to en dorse H. J. McAleer for the Demo cratic nomination for Senator, which will have the effect of irritating a lot of Blair county Democrats. The Re publicans will nominate either George C. Irwin or Samuel Stoner and elect him to the Senate. iPOLincAbsipekiftbrsi —Certain Democrats and Bull Moos ers appear to have forgotten that last winter they were yelling for a primary law that would put the choice in the hands of the voterß. —The club endorsement crop seems to have been hit by the cold wave. —Herr Moesleln Is planning a tour of the county In the interest of his campaign for the State committee, but the weather will not be good. —H.

BOOKS "Their Second Flight," by Louise Winter, opening novelette in March Young's Magazine, is an absorbing story of a man who contracts a second marriage with a little grass widow of whom ho Is passively fond, but whom he regards as more or less of a top. Gertrude or "Trudel," as he calls her in accord with her Gerniun coloring, is a swoot, somewhat simple little woman endowed with the Teutonic \;irtuo of domesticity. She has lost her first hus band through the fascination of a bold stage beauty and with this second la confronted by ti similar problem her rival, this time, being a keenly Intelli gent society woman. Gertrude is intro duced into her husband's set but is only tolerated by them for his sake. Gault, a friend of Trevors' Is kind to her, and when an estrangement comes between the two, he endeavors to guide them back into the channel of under standing. Trevors' son by his first wife is injured in an accident and this draws the man Into close communion with the mothur of his boy. Gertrude, left to enervating doubts, resolves to go away and leave her husband free. One of her friends of the old days, a physician's wife, guesses at the cause of her restlessness and when Trevors roturns Gertrude reveals to him a mighty bond—a bond that has tho power to weld their union securely. "The Queen of Harmonj'," by Winona Godfrey, is a tale of primitive people. It tells the story of a man whose wife deserted him In a moment of anger, taking their child. Later he meets a girl who fills his heart completely, but before their marriage she is led by the child to her lover's wife. Through this girl's nobility a reconciliation is effect ed between the couple. "The Yellow Door." by Eugene A. Clansy, depicts the struggle of a drlnlc tortured soul to assert its better self. The climax is tense, terrible, but full of vital interest. In "The Woman In the Park," Jean Carmichael gives a delightful whim sical portrayal of everyday characters.
