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.

copies of a unique menu of a banquet

: Kreider Ducks in the Year of Great
Tribulations—Random Dem

j . .About the time the Dauphin county
I Washington party steering committee
I was electing Ira J. Mosey, the Read
ling railway engineer as county chair- j
jman so that Doc Kreider could run
I for Congress and hold his fat job on
! Capitol Hill unemcombcred by the du
ties of the county committee leader
ship, Judge Charles N. Brumm,Schuyl-
I ki 11, was informing the public that If
|he was convinced that the people
I wanted him he would be a candidate
I for the Washington party nomination
j for governor.
! 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

course of his speech at

will run or not within a few days. He
is in Philadelphia to-day to see Dim
