XVEJDXKSDAV EVKXIXG, MARCH I GOOD WORK OF COUNCIL MEMBERS of the new city coun cil—and Commissioner Lynch in particular—are displaying commendable energy in out lining preliminary plans for the prose cution of the public improvement work authorized by the voters at the elec tions last November. The presentation of an ordinance providing for the construction of more than forty storm and sanitary sewers was the most important matter brought to the attention of Council yesterday. Apparently on all subjects except appointments the Councilmcn may be depended upon to stand to gether. Politics will figure in munici pal government so long as there is a Place to be tilled that is not subject to a civil service system, and Harrisburg is no exception to this. But it is grati fying to note a disposition on the part of all the Councilnien to get together on subjects of far more importance than who shall or who shall not hold this or that job. Lnless all signs fail, there is appar ently among the Commissioners a de termination to carry forward public work along the same lines that have Avon for Harrisburg a high place among tlie progressive cities of the country Tho new sewer ordinance is a move in tb.it direction. Now, in the early Spring, is tho time to prepare for acti\e construction operations next summer, and the Councilmen are go ing about this duty in an admirably energetic and businesslike manner. MEXICAN INTERVENTION JAMLS CKLELMAN, the veteran journalist whoso articles on the Cuban situation during the Weyler administration and just previous to the Spanish-American War so well forecasted the future of the United States in respect to intervention for humanity's sake in Cuba, now fore sees ultimate intervention of the United States In Mexico. Mr. Creel man writes from Mexico City. He is intimately acquainted with Mexican affairs and his opinions must be given the weight not only of those of a keen and experienced observer of public af lairs, but of a man who has a reputa tion at stake and who risks his life to say in his news dispatches what he has dared to telegraph from his tem porary residence in the Mexican capital. Unlike many others who have at tempted to predict the results of in tervention, Creelman professes to see little difficulty i n the pacification of the country under American rule. He says that a large majority of Mexicans, especially those of the South, are tired of the uncertainties of government as they have existed since Diaz was de posed, and would gladly welcome any form of authority that would guar antee their personal safety and rive them opportunity to pursue their ways in peace. There arc apparently very good rea sons for Creelntan's belief that Amer icans would not find united resistance if they crossed the border. Aside from the fact, never sufficiently realized, that the Mexicans are not yet a na tion, but largely a conglomeration of Indian tribes only superficially united, there is an ineradicable personal an tagonism between the de faeto ruler of Mexico and the de facto rebel ot the northern Insurgents between Huerta and Villa. This is a point lOrther emphasized by another fact that is liot sufficiently realized, namely, that the real Mexico, teeming with many millions of Indians, begins considerably south of the desert re gion in the north which is now prac tically held by the men whose nomi nal choice for president Is General Venustlano Carranzo. That General Victoriano Iluerta would ever make common cause with Pancho Villa Is a difficult thing to Imagine for those who remember what passed between them not quite two years ago. There was great excite ment in Mexico City on the night of .lune 4. I»K\ when the Alamoda and *an Francisco street rang with the •<*ries of "extras" of an attempted mu.. tiny by Pancho \ ilia against his com mander-in-chief General Huerta, and ef the latter s order to have Villa sum- WEDNESDAY EVENING marlly shot before the entire division drawn up to witness the manner In which insubordination by a prominent chief was to be punished. And Mex ico City was amazed to hear that the man who had faced death a thou sand times weakened before the firing squad, begged for mercy and was spared. The distance of the northern cen ters from the capital and the general I political and economic conditions in | those vast desert stretches of the | north prevent the central government from dominating the border States as Porfirlo Diaz did for more than a gen eration. If Huerta can consolidate his power in central and southern Mexico, regardless of what becomes of the north, he will put the real Mexico, the densely peopled Mexico of the Toltecs, Aztecs, Tarascans, Zapotecs and others, in the way of becoming a nation. i American intervention in the moun : tain fastnesses of Puebla, Morelos, Mi | choacan, Oaxaca, Hidalgo, Gueiyero, Veracruz, would be sheer fully. The inhabitants of those States must be left to work out their problems alone. But the north only requires irrigation and immigration to become another Southwest, and here Americans, if the signs point aright, will find much work to do in the not distant future, nnd it may be that a kind of military inter vention will have to blaze the way. FREE TRADE BECAUSE the business of the coun try has not gone to eternal smash in the few months since the Underwood tariff law went into effect, because manufacturers every where are putting up a brave front and striving by every means in their power to stave off the evil effects of this pernicious legislation, we are told by gleeful press agents of the Wilson administration that the new tariff regulations are all that they were rep resented to be and that marvelous prosperity for the country is assured under their operations. Without endeavoring to point out that the full effects of the law will not be felt for some months or a year to come and that we are now doing a fairly good volume of business despite, rather than because of, the Demo cratic tariff slashing, it may be in structive to pause for a moment and observe how broad-minded business men of Europe, and of England es pecially, view free trade and what they think of the results of a pro tective tariff in America. The London Times of February 15 publishes a full-page statement of the European Unity League. The purpose of this organization, in the language of its president, Sir Max Waechter, is "to bring about the alliance or fed eration of the States of Europe on an economic basis." Whether or not the organization will ever attain the objects for which it was formed is a question apart. The advantages of protection over free trade and the erection of a tariff wall about the States of Europe to the exclusion of American products, as set forth in one of the paragraphs of the league's official statement, is the point to be considered in relation to the re cent lowering of our own barriers to the trade of Europe. This tenet of the new organization follows: To bind the nations of Europe firmly together all inter-European custom boundaries should be gradu ally eliminated. All Europe should form one great free trade market protected by a tariff against the nations without. Free trade within a great State, the possession of a valuable home market, has ever proved a most powerful binding medium of nations. At one time the vates of Germany, those com posing the United States of America, and the Cantons of .Switz erland were Independent States, and State was divided from State and Canton from Canton by custom boundaries. The federation of Germany, of tho United States, and of Switzerland gave to all Ameri cans. all Germans, and all Swiss a large home market protected against foreign nations. The free dom of a large.market greatly in creased the prosperity of the citi zens dwelling in each of the indi vidual States of the Federation. The great value of a common mar ket induced those American States which did at first not intend to join the union to change their mind. The common home market made the United States, and a common home market should establish for all time the unity of Europe. The unity »f Europe should be founded on the firm basis of a great and lasting prosperity. Here we have a picture of President Wilson killing the goose that has laid the golden eggs of American pros perity; an English appreciation of the truth of the contention of the Re publican party, that protection spells prosperity and free trade depression and hardship for our business and working people. Imagine the United States on a free trade basis competing with a union of all Europe protected by a tariff wall such as that which surrounded our own country until a Democratic Con gress sent it toppling about our ears and left us open to the hungry hordes of cheap foreign competitors. SITTING OX A HORNETS NEST DR. LUTHER H. GULICK in his book, "The Efficient Life," has a chapter on "Stimulants and Other Whipe" that ought to be by every man or woman who may be tempted at one time or another to increase his or her working power under stress by resort to drugs* or stimulants. Dr. Gulick is a forceful and enter taining writer and he puts old thoughts into new language in a way to impress themselves vividly upon the imagination. We have scarcely ever noted a more effective descrip tion of the effect of a stimulant upon the nervous system than Is given here Dr. Gulick says that when a man sits down on a hornet's nest he is Im mediately led to expend an unusual amount of energy, but the hornet's nest did not create the energy. It was stirred up in the man's nerves and muscles. The act of sitting down in an unaccustomed place simply enabled the man to spend more energy in a given space of time than he otherwise would have done. A stimulant, says Dr. Gulick, is very much like the hornet's nest. What it really docs is to increase a man's energy-spending power. A drug or stimulant docs nut create energy in a man any more than a whip creates energy in a horse. All it does is turn on more current—and the more the current the more the burn ing power on the tissues of the body. (evening chdfl Reference made yesterday in. this column to blizzards which have swept the city caused some people to tele phone for information about Hoods, especially thoso which have followed cold snaps. The most recent flood following a cold spell, oddly enough, occurred just ten years ago to-day. This singular coincidence recalls that tliu flood of a decade ago was known us the "icc flood," as the Susquehanna, had been frozen from 18 to 24 inches by a series of cold waves, some of which sent down the mercury around 3 and 4 degrees. The ice broke on the 3d and on March 4, 1904, the Susquehanna rose to 2 3.3 feet, carry ing huge cakes over portions of South Harrlsburg and turning the islands in front of the city into icy fortresses. This was the year when enormous gorges formed at Turkey Hill and other points below Mlddletown and caused grave apprehension as to what might happen here. There was an other March flood, caused by the melt ing of heavy snows and the accom panying breaking of the ice, on March j 1-3, in 1902, this being the flood dur- i ing which the eastern section of the i Harrlsburg bridge went down. The! crest of tliis flood was on March 2, j when it got up to 23.9 feel. The worst Hood ever known since they began to keep records in Harrisburg was the famous flood of June. 18S9. On June 2 the water rose to 27.1 feet. Some people said that the "pumpkin" flood of years before had flooded a greater I portion of Harrlsburg, but there were | not so many islands In the stream in | n.i 08 .? days and the bank s had not been tilled out. This v. as an autumn flood, which is a rarity. In 1894, Ave years after the "June flood," the Susque hanna rose on May 22 to 25.2 feet. . P a tr'ek's Day flood," as that ot March 17, lSfio, was known, regis tered 24 feet at the water house. The Susquehanna has been pretty well be haved since the great "ice flood," al though it has gotten up around 18 feet occasionally. Just what it is going to do this year with a fair amount of ice co\ ering Its surface and a tremendous amount of snow all over its watershed and tributaries locked in from one to j two feet of Ice is problematical. People here who are interested in temperance movements have followed with interest the first election on mak ing a county dry in Ohio since the \\a\e of revivals has been sweeping over the country and it is interesting to note that the majority in favor of keeping wet Mahoning county, com pared with that of flvo years ago, showed a big slump. Five years ago the wet people won by 1,931 and this vear they barely pulled through with2s7, and the election may be contested. Youngs town is the big town of this county and a steel town at that. In all 22,000 votes were polled, Youngstown going nGI Dy 1,800. Tho farmers of Lebanon and Lan caster counties, says Dr. Kalblus, are not only showing themselves to be humanitarians by looking after the quail and other game birds, but they are insuring a supply of game next fall. In some of the districts of these two counties, says the game official, the farmers have driven many miles in their sleighs to scatter grain in the neighborhoods where quail are known to abound. In some parts of the Cumberland Valley this samu care is being taken. The deep snow is caus ing the death of many birds, as they cannot get out to obtain food.

It will be recalled that when the | slate makers met here recently that I the judge when called into the council room for a speech did not agree to support the ticket, but predicted vic tory for the Bull Moosers. Yesterday when a delegation of veterans, labor ing men and old friends called on him to ask why he should not enter the race the judge said he would if he heard the call. He is quoted as say ing that the conference at which Dean Lewis was slated by 21 to 17 was not intended to bar candidates in case a genuine sentiment was manifested. The judge is over 75, but vigorous In mind and body ai.d if he listens to the telegrams and letters and folks urging him to be a candidate there will be a row in the Bull Moose that will al most come within flfty per cent, of the disturbances now existing in the Dem ocracy of Pennsylvania. Announcing is the order of the day just now and from all accounts there will be a lot of it within a week. Sena tor Penrose said in the course of his speech at Announcing Reading last night that Now Ortler he would make an an of the Day nouncement about Monday and Dr. Brum baugh Is expected to make a statement about what he will do in response to the avalanche of telegrams pouring in on liim to run. Speaker Alter will say whether he will run or not within a few days. He is in Philadelphia to-day to see Dim mick and J. Denny O'Neil.

He made this announcement in the form of a letter to Ryerson W. Jennings, who noticed the absence of mention of this matter In the original platform. Mr. Ryan said: "Permit me to acknowledge receipt of your letter of even date. You have been so very kind and eager to advance my candidacy that I hasten to reply.
