MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 3 TRIE ECONOMY CITY Council Is to be commended for the appointment of Dr. George R. Moffitt as municipal bacteriologist—not because any of the several employes he replaces are inefficient, for they are all good men—but because the work under his direction will be broader and more comprehensive. Beside, the concen tration of duties under the new ar rangement will save the city a con siderable sum of money for the year. It is the duty of council to improve the city service wherever possible, as well as to conserve the public reve nues, ana when both these are accom plished by one act little more could be! asked. Dr. Douglas, who has resigned as j city milk inspector, has done a spien- j did pioneer work. When he took charge milk inspection in Harrisburg was little more than a joke. He has done much to improve our supply and to teach the dairymen the desirability of clean barns, clean depots, clean bot tles and clean, pure product. Dr. Motfltt will find the milk inspector's department well organized and on a firm footing. Dr. Moffitt is himself well fitted for the place to which he Is to be ap pointed. He is a bacteriologist of acknowledged ability and experience and it cannot be said that politics en tered into his selection. And almost on the anniversary of the Taft flareback, too. HOME GARDENING AND SCHOOLS THERE is practical good in the idea of home gardening directed by the school as offered by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education as a solu tion for some of the most pressing educational and economic problems in city and suburban life. Dr. Clax ton would have every vacant town lot transformed into a garden, where boys and girls would raise vegetables, ber ries and fruit for pleasure and for profit. He would have one teacher In tho community employed twelve jnonths in the year to teach elemen tary science in school and direct the home garden work after school, on Saturdays and during the summer Vacation. "Of the 13,000,000 children be-j tween the ages of G and 20 in the cities, towns, manufacturing vil lages and suburban communities of the United States," says Dr. Claxton, "not more than 15 per cent, are away from home during the summfer vaca tion or engaged in regular employ ment. The remaining 85 per cent, jemain at home without any useful, healthful, productive occupation re quiring any large part of their time. On the other hand, there is much valuable land in back yards and va cant lots that is serving no useful purpose. The problem is to bring this land and these children to gether." Dr. Claxton believes that in every school and community there should be at least one teacher who knows gardening, both theoretically and practically. This teacher should teach the elementary sciences in the schools during the school hours and should, out of school hours, direct the home gardening of the children between the ages of 7 or 8 and 14 or 15. If pos sible the teacher should have the as sistance of an expert gardener, so that the work may be done in the most practical and profitable way. The teacher and the gardener should help the children find the plots of ground in back yards, front yards and vacant lots near their homos best suited for gardening work, aid them toy some co-operative method to have the lots properly plowed and prepared for cultivation, help them x select seeds, show them how to plant, cultivate and harvest, so as to obtain the best results. Vegetables, berries and fruits grown should be used first as food 'for th« children and their families, says Dr. Claxton; then the surplus should bo marketed to the best ad vantage. Through the help of the laacher this can be done in a co operative way. Ten or fifteen cents' MONDAY EVENING, worth of vegetables each Jay from the gardens of each of 200 children would amount to S2O or S3O. In the Summer and Fall, when the surplus is large and can not be marketed to ad vantage, tlio teacher should direct and help the children in canning and preserving for winter use or for sale. The canning and tomato clubs of the Southern States have already shown what can be done in this way. It is difficult to estimate the re sults of this plan when it shall be in full operation throughout the coun try. For the children it will mean health, strength, joy in work, habits of Industry, an understanding of the value of money, as measured in terms of labor, and such knowledge of the phenomena and forces of nature as must be had for an understanding of most of their school lessons. Compared with the results, the cost will be inconsiderable. No addition to the number of teachers will be re quired. It will only be necessary to require different preparation for one teacher in each school. In the estimates submitted to Con gress by the Commissioner of Educa tion for the support of the bureau in the next fiscal year ail item of $5,700 is included to enable the bureau to begin the introduction of this kind of work in the schools of the United States. The commissioner believes that it will only be necessary to work out details of plans and to present them to school officers, together with full information in regard to results of somewhat similar work already done at various places. After last night's experience some of the new policemen no doubt feel that there are worse things than being turned down by Council. TEACHING CHILDREN TO SAVE THE spread of the School Savings Bank System is an encouraging sign of the times. Tho plan is already working well in a num ber of American cities and has the indorsement of leading educators. "This is not a money-making plan |at all," says Louis Betz, St. Paul banker. "It's an opportunity to spread j the spirit of saving a'iid help in the education of children." The object of the School Savings Bank System is to create habits of thrift, industry and economy; to cul tivate self-denial and self-control; and to develop in boys and girls an under standing of the value of the right use of money. In general, the plan is to give every child an opportunity to deposit his pennies and dimes in any local bank through the medium of the organiza tion formed for the purpose under the supervision of the teachers and boardsj of education. The children leave their money at! the school and are given a receipt therefor. The school banker deposits in one of the local banks tho amount received from the children who have their accounts with him. The accounts are checked up at stated intervals and the money is subject to the order of the child depositor or the parent. The spendthrift tendency of the American people is one of the chief causes of poverty and want. To over come this tendency and make the fu ture generation a thrifty and saving one is the chief purpose of the school savings idea. The inclination to save is one that should be encouraged by parents, teachers and friends of chil dren generally, as it means much, not only to their future, but to the future of the nation. Gift'ord Pincliot dates the letter an nouncing his candidacy at Milford, Pa. Must have made a special trip. I)It. PAUL A. HARTMAN THE death of Dr. Paul A. Hart man removes from the official life of the city a man long con nected with it in various capaci j ties, but who performed the duties | assigned him so quietly and efficiently ; that his name seldom appeared in the j newspapers. As an expert in the diagnosis and | treatment of smallpox he had few j equals and made a splendid record for himself in that connection during his years of service with the sanitary com mittee of Councils previous to the creation of the Board of Health. In recent years he has been actively en gaged in the splendid work of the | State tuberculosis dispensary here and j became as efficient in that branch of j his profession as he had been in the ] prevention of the spread of contagious j disease when employed by the mu nicipal government. Dr. Hartman was president of the School Board during the peiiod of important constructive work and until his death took a big interest in edu cation. He was a quiet, capable, lov able man, who will be mourned sin cerely by a wide circle of friends in ali walks of life. Washington is shivering under a sixty-mile gale. Being so used to hot air the city finds the cold hard to bear. REDUCE THE MILL.AGE COUNCIL should not hesitate to reduce the city tax rate for the remaining nine months of the year after April 1, because it will be necessary to restore the cut next year. If eight and a half mills will provide sufficient revenues for the city expenses, let eight and a half mills be the levy. The taxpayers will readily understand that the reduction is not permanently possible and will be happy in the fortunate circum stance that gives them an apparent relief from the heavier rate of taxa tion. But no matter how low the rate may be for the coming nine months, in reality no saving is affected. We shall have to pay taxes just the same. The city must have money with which to meet its expenses. The only thing that Council can do in the matter is to see that we do not have to pay a twelve-month tax rate for a nine month year. it's all right to love your neighbor as yourself, but for goodness sukc don't extend the idea to your neighbor's wlfs. • evening eft at Professor Marion U. Larned of the | University of Pennsylvaunla, who is well known in Harrisburg by reason of'his lectures here and his studies of the sturdy people of Germanic stock who settled Pennsylvania und made it blossom, has just delivered an inter esting talk it: Philadelphia on a most prosaic subject. Dr. Lamed talked on nothing else than barns. He discussed the barn that we can see on the hill sides from almost any part of Harris burg and said that the people who built such barns were serving the agri cultural resources of the nation. The speaker cited the well-known saying that the Pennsylvania farmer's barn is better than his house and told how the great barns that we know so well are now to be found through the West and how the spread of "laniilies brought up on Keystone State farms is making prosperous the agriculture of adjoining States. The description of barns given by the lecturer told of the type common in Lancaster county and in the Lebanon and Cumberland Val leys. And when you come to think about it, there are no barns to coin pare with the strong, commodious structures which we have come to treat as a matter of course. A walk along tile River Front or a visit to Reservoir Hill, or even to one of the upper stories of the Capitol will enable any one to get a glimpse of a barn such as is unknown in portions of the United States which boast of agricul tural progressiveriess. Somo of the barns near this city represent larger Jnvestments than the farmhouses, and no Pennsylvania farmer thinks of buy ing a farm or moving on one unless the barn is big and in applie pie order. The barns we know are mostly of the German type, there being few of the Dutch or English types which are made subordinate to the house. The German idea of getting a place to store the crops and letting the house adornment come along when the profits are taken is what lias made this State hold its agricultural place when it was developing mines, build ing furnaces and mills, expanding in dustry and constructing railroads. Harrisburg people will be Interested | to know that Enoch Stanford, who! was at the head of the balance & Gros pean tin plate mills for several years and later In charge of mills near Con shohocken, has formed a companv to operate the Hazleton rolling mill. The new company is composed of promi nent men and they intend to put the mill to work next month. Ice cutting on the ponds and dams in the vicinity has been going ahead the last few days in spite of the snows, and it is stated that some splendid Ice has been cut in the upper part of the county and in the Pine Grove region. The cold snap caused the ice to form in great masses and some of the ponds were frozen with ice a foot thick. The storfhouse within thirty miles of the city will be filled with ice in the next few days as the icemen will not run any chances with a thaw. Ross Poulton, a native of this city and who is making good in Savannah, has written an entertaining story of the snowfall in the Georgia seaport on February 5. The snow was the heaviest known in years, and while Mr. Poulton did not think much of it, the folks in Savannah had all kinds of fun. old and young going out into the streets and having snowball tights. Some of the gray-haired men were like boys with the snow and the city enjoyed the snow to the limit while it lasted. The snow was a surprise and j people who had only heard of it had a chance to see what it was like. Hat-chasing was one of our most popular sports to-day, and according to accounts, was indulged in last night, although it was Sunday. People who wore- derbies were apt to find them whirling from their heads when they turned corners and some folks made spectacles of themselves chasing their headgear. Newsboys, with an eye to nickels, kept a sharp lookout and aid ed in retrieving. Incidentally, almost I everyone who had a fur cap brought j It out. ; The anti-swearing leagues being i foi tried in some parts of the State sug j gest a unique organization that has ! been in existence in one establishment ! here for years. Every time a man , cusses lie has to pay a nickel. At the end of the month the money is spent for a "feed." Generally the "feed" is worth while. Not long ago there was an epidemic of clean words and few fines were paid. Very little was in hand and one man went out and, j saying he would replenish it, started .to swear. No one else followed his ! example and he paid two fines and quit. 1 ! —City Solicitor Ryan, Congressman | Palmer, Dr. Brumbaugh and Lieuten |ant Governor Reynolds sat near each other at the Five O'clock Club dinner In Philadelphia. —General Charles Miller is buying large amounts of equipment for his new railroad in the northwestern counties. —E.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH STATE COMMITTEE PLACESTALKED OF Hoerner and Moyer May Be Can didates For Re-election at the Primaries I . BECHTEL FOR JUDGE NOW Joe Guffey Quits the Reorganiza tion County Committee Chairmanship State Committeemen Hoerner and Moyer are being urged by Republicans throughout the county to stand for re-election to the Republican State committee at the May primary. In case they agree to run it is not prob able that there will be any opposition. The Washington party leaders will shortly have a meeting to decide upon a county chairman to succeed Dr. J. H. Krelder, who has found that holding down a nice job at the Capitol and running for Congress does not give enough time to run the county com mittee. The Bull Moosers will also name State committeemen. L'p to date the Democrats who were going to go after the scalps of Herr Moesleln anil Mayor Royal, when they announced their candidacy for the Democratic State committee, have not come to the front. According to dispatches from Wash ington, Judge H. O. Bechtel, of the Schuylkill county courts, has been brought to the front as a candidate for the new Jleelitel In United States Judgeship " For in Philadelphia. He is Judgeship backed by Congress man K. E. Dee ana a boom for him is work ing hard. It is interesting in this con nection to note the manner in which the reorganization bosses, who went about denouncing Webster Grim a couple of years ago. are inclined to smile on his aspirations. The Palmer crowd is apparently not adverse to having former foes line up. The boom for W. A. Carr, of Philadelphia, is also at work and the .lerseymen are ii.sisting that Wescott be sent across the river to administer Uncle Sam's justice for Pennsylvanians. People here who know Judge John St. Carman declare that they do not think that the Luzerne county judge will enter the con test for the Demo cratic nomination Carman May for Senator against Not Enter Palmer. Garman tlic Battle does not like Pal mer and hates some of the people associated with him, but he is said to have his hands full to maintain the control of the Luzerne county committee, which he took away from the reorganizes a short time ago. Garman would like to be a can didate, but hesitates at the stress of ' a campaign, and besides there is notli ! ing to prevent him from saying his say in speeches. The split in the Pittsburgh Demo cracy had a funny incident on Satur day night when the reorganization wing met, Joseph F. Guffey, the nephew of the colonel who turn- Pittsburgh ed against him in the Keorganizers Democratic family Lose Gu(ley fuss, tender ing his resi gnat i on as the county chairman. John A. Martin, a noisy reorganize! - , was elected to suc- Iceed him. Guffey says that he has not time to devote to the party affairs and the Brennen wingsters say that it is because he sees the reorganizers are going to get beaten in the pri mary and Guffey does not want to bear the burden. The Brennen wingsters had their meeting Friday and organ ized a full fledged county committee, j Palmer and McCormick are due in J Pittsburgh to meet the reorganization j wingsters to-day and Judge Uinbel and Bruce Sterling ,of Fayette, will go to see them and discuss the warfare.

BRUMBAUGH [From the Philadelphia Press.] The Republican State primaries will be free for all, and the more numerous the candidates the freer the expression of opinion, the heartier the campaign ing, the heavier the voting at the pri mary booths, the better will be the outiook for a great Republican major ity a: the polls next Fall. For what Is desired, perhaps what Is needed. Is a shaking up of Republi cans the State over, a rousing up from a condition of lethargy, a return of vigor to the heart and mind of the great party to whose energy and ca pacity is due, under God, the achieve ments that have made this nation the marvel of the family of nations. Among the names that have been suggested to head the State ticket, it Ss quite clear now that that of Martin G. Brumbaugh has awakened the widest favor and the deepest confidence. If we have mistaken the situation, we shall be corrected at the primaries, and if so good a candidate for Governor as the renowned educator be named, we with all other good citizens shall have cause for rejoicing. But at the moment every sign of free choice and sincere approval as we observe it marks out L>r. Brumbaugh. And who studied from every unglß i-ould make a better candidate'.' A man of sound physical health. In whom every intellectual idea lias the support of boundless energy; tho embodiment MARCH 2, 1914. of the classical axiom in life and move ment. A man of the highest ideals in private and public life, with the skill and ability and training to put his ideas into action and to gather from them the best and richest results. A man who, as a matter of fact, for many years lias been putting ideals into ef fect with splendid success in the great wcjrld of public education. A man of clear and wide vision. A man of the day, scholarlj*, one of the people, feel ing what the people feel, seeing what the people see, dreaming what the peo ple dream, and aspiring to those heights which the people in resistless force is scaling. No pretender is lie; no dealer In empty rhetoric, no self-seeker searching out his own ends in a inane of pandering phrases. He is no man's man, 110 politician. 110 server of bosses. He is a robust, full-minded, dear-mind ed, plain, free, brave American citizen. lie Is a staunch Republican, imbued with the spirit of his party's history, a firm believer in the splendor of his party's future, lie is in substance a progressive, too; as progressive in real things as Colonel Kooseveit: a pro gressive who uses what has been done to make a path for what is to be; a progressive who passes from the past, to the future by u bridge, not by tlie way of revolution and destruction. home say that thousands upon thou sands of worthy men who left the party, for reasons satisfactory to their own free minds, would return to their old love behind Dr. Brumbaugh, just as they left it following Colonel Roose velt. We believe it; for what finer thing could they do than follow in the way of this country-bred boy, now a leader among his people, his name, his character and his works known and honored in every town and hamlet of this his native State? REVOLIi'TIOXARY IMtOPOSAIj [From The Christian Herald.J Consider, also, the multitudinous dally hypocrisies of business life: the false labels of goods, deceptive an nouncements of clearance sales and bargains; the misrepresentations in which employers and employes sin to gether.

A popular lecturer brought down the house when he pictured the absurdity of a Wall Street broker whipping his boy for lying, that Is, for "setting false rumors afloat."
