MARCH 5 KREIDER'S W VTCHITXVESS THAT Congressman Kreider is keeping in very close touch with public affairs In his home dis trict Is Illustrated by the fact that he will introduce in Congress a bill for the further enlargement of the Harrlsburg Post Office. Mr. Kreider did not wait for some body else to And out that the federal building here will not be adequate for the city's growing needs even after the present Improvements are completed. He looked over the situation himself, observed conditions ajid then took the matter up with Postmaster Sites. As a result he will endeavor to show Con gress the urgent necessity of an addi tional appropriation for building pur poses. When Congressman Olmsted pro cured an appropriation of $120,000 for the purpose of enlargement here the parcel post law had not been passed and nobody could foresee at that time its early enactment. The Pogt Office enlargements as planned would have been quite sufficient to meet the needs of the city had not the postal service in the meantime annexed a largo part of the business formerly handled by the express companies. As it stands, the Post Office as enlarged under the Olmsted act would be but a makeshift and the increase of appropriation for which Mr. Kreider will ask is little less than a necessity if Harrisburg is ! to have a federal building commen surate with the amount of government business transacted here. OPENING THE ROADS IT is not only in road building and road repairs that the State High way Department stands ready at all times to aid the farmer. As a result of the blizzard of the past week the department ha* felt called upon to set aside a sum of SIO,OOO to make passable highways closed by snow. As soon as the extent of the blizzard became known officials of the main tenance division began preparations to aid the county superintendents in get ting the main highways throughout their territories lit for Immediate use. Wherever the snowfall was heaviest or the drifts deepest, additional allot ments of money were made for road clearing purposes. This is service of the highest value to the rural dweller and the city man as well. In the older days, before the creation of tho State Highway Depart ment, when winter came and the roads were rendered impassable by drifts, farmers ceased their trips to town. Produce accumulated that should have been on the market; some of it spoiled and others came eventually, when the sun melted the snow, in quantities too large to be readily absorbed and at prices that rendered the farmer small profit. Now the State takes over the duty of digging out the roads and ren dering them fit at all times for travel. And both tlje farmer and the city man profit thereby. CHINA SETS AN EXAMPLE CHINA, for years graft-ridden and as badly governed as is Russia of to-day, under its new repub lican form of government is set ling us a fine example along soine lines. For instance, there is President Tuan Shi Kai, who has Just given the world a lesson in economy by reducing the salary voted to him by the cabi net and administrative council to the amount of 20 per cent., and at the same time clipping an Item of $40,000 a year from the fund set aside for his entertainment of Chinese and foreign dignitaries. In taking this step, Vuan's friends assert, he is making no - "play to the grandstand." He Is a plain and frugal man, lives modestly and simply, and devotes most of his income to public works and charity. Like many of our own United States Senators—men unjustly made the vic tims of scandal-mongerlng muckrak es—Yuan is, comparatively speaking, a poor man. Though he has had great opportunities for amassing ■wealth, it is said to-day that he is no richer than when he first came into prominence. Evidently Yuan is an exceptional man. Even in this patriot-blessed country, with ofllce-seeking nation savers shrieking their good intentions THURSDAY EVENING, from every corner, we have failed to notice even one humble follower of the worthy Yuan. All of them promise, if elected, to work great economies and to save the people money.—but not at the expense of their own sal aries, evidently content to rest under the Biblical Injunction that the "la borer Is worthy of his hire," and be lieving that the higher the "hire" the better for the officeholder. A MECHANICAL TRIUMPH THE Wall Street Journal notes as one of the mechanical triumphs of the year the fact that during the blizzard of Sunday and Mon day, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington enjoyed uninterrupted long distance telephone connection. The Journal contrasts this condition with that which confronted the people of the Eastern seaboard on the occasion of President Taft's Inauguration only five years ago, when a devastating sleet and snowstorm for hours isolated Washington and made communication of any sort with the rest of the country impossible. The change has been accomplished by placing the telephone wires in the territory named under ground. It was this "fall-down" at a time when the whole nation was striving to get into touch with the national capital that prompted Theodore N. Vail to attempt to solve the problem of burying the ■wires—one not so simple as might be imagined, for at that time the art of telephony had not reached a stage where the running of huge under ground cables was possible. Thousands of dollars and years of effort were necessary for the experimental work leading up to the triumph of a com municating service that will defy storm and flood, wind and weather. Marvels of scientific and business accomplishment come so rapidly these days that we pause scarcely a moment to think of feats that a half-century agone would have furnished material for world-wide discussion in the news papers and magazines. Service is the watchword of the day we have grown so used to having those whom we employ to render It doing the Im possible for us that we have come to accept it all as a matter of course. Nevertheless, this latest achievement in the telephone world marks a step forward of more than ordinary mag nitude; one, indeed, that indicates the beginning of. the end of the overhead wire through towns and across country. BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS IN view of the recent investigations of Dr. Raunick. the Health Board and the Civic Club in Harrlsburg, the announcement that a State housing conference is to be held here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 6, 7 and S, is of more than ordi nary interest. The object of the organization it is intended to form at that time will be the improvement of housing conditions in Pennsylvania by ascertaining and giving publicity to existing conditions and promoting legislation, community planning and replanning with a view of obtaining comfortable houses at low rent for wage-earners and the greatest efficiency from public utilities in serving such houses. Harrisburg has improved wonder fully in this respect in the past years, but Dr. Raunlck's reports, recently published by this newspaper, show that many of our people still live in badly constructed, poorly ventilated, unsanitary buildings. We have much to learn and much to do along this line. But the proposed housing asso ciation must not overstep. There were indications of mistaken zeal on the part of housing experts during the last session of the Legislature that if sup ported by the legislation sought would have invaded the personal liberties of every housekeeper in Philadelphia. There is a distinct trend toward better living conditions and public sentiment will stand back of any practical effort in that direction—but it must be prac tical, not theoretical or so mandatory as to be unpopular. . A SUGGESTION REPEATED WITHIN the nejft several weeks Council will change the names of 150-odd streets in this city. Nothing but the heartiest commendation can be given this action. In many parts of the city names of thoroughfares have been duplicated. In others obsolete names are in use. In still others, particularly in the East End, many streets between the regu larly numbered highways are named halves, as "Twentieth - and -a - Half" street. Several times the Telegraph has suggested that many of the important thoroughfares might be named for dis tinguished Governors of the State. Apropos of the present discussion the suggestion is repeated. Doesn't it seem fitting that tlio capi tal of Pennsylvania name Its streets after the executives who have lived and made State history here? Doesn't it seem better than naming the high ways after flowers or berries, for in stance ? Ai'HO-AMKIUCAN VOTES A DEMOCRATIC congressman has introduced a bill to "segregate government employes of tho white race from those of African blood or descent." The Democratic administration did not wait for the law to put the segre gation into effect. Tho President need not expect any Afro-American Wood row Wilson clubs for his campaign of 1916. "Reversion to monkeylsm" is what Dr. G. Campbell Morgan calls the tango and similar dances. Why so hard on the monkeys. Doctor? Meridian, Conn., school teachers ob ject to telling their age.

We know some sons that are quite , willing to let father work as long as I he provides them with room and bua.rU. ifeventne'cbdfl The death In Philadelphia a day or so ago of August M. Conover, one of the Philadelphia City Troopers who guarded the bier of Abraham Lincoln when the body of the martyr Presi dent lay In state In Philadelphia, re calls the fact that there Is living In Harrlsburg one of the men who guard ed the body at Baltimore. He Is John B. Patrick, of the State Department, who, while a soldier hi the Ninety seventh Regiment, was detailed as a guard of honor In Baltimore. Mr. Patrick is a former commander of Post 58, commander of the Central Pennsylvania veterans and a member of the Meade statue commission with George F. Baer and John Wanamaker. The body was guarded in this city during the period it lay in state in the Capitol by soldiers detailed by the United Slates authorities, who came with the train, and by members of the Invalid corps, as a body of men en camped here awaiting recovery from illness or woundß sufficient to enable them to return to duty was known. This corps was encamped where the silk mill stands and was Used for pro vost guard and other light duty. Mayor A. L. Roumfort also had a citi zens corps, who assisted about the Capitol and aided in keeping the great crowds in order, not that there was any difficulty, because all were sorrow ing at tlie nation's loss, but so that the people could get Into the building in an easy manner and no one be hurt in the press. "1 should say that an average of 6 0 per cent, of the peach buds in Penn sylvania have been killed by the below zero weather we have in this State • his winter. In some districts the loss has been greater and in some lower, but 50 per cent, is a fair figure," de clared State Zoologist H. A. Surface to-day. Dr. Burface has been getting in reports from his Inspectors and from owners who have been sending information for the orchard informa tion service he is organizing. "The damage is spotty. In some districts there are reports of whole sale killing of trees. When the mer cury goes down to fifteen degrees be low zero it means death to peach buds and seme districts have reported that minimum," said Dr. Surface. "I'm not crying that the crop is ruined, but I do know from reports that damage has been done. Now I'll venture to say that the orchards that have been sci entifically cared lor will stand the zero weather best. The orchards un cared for and those cultivated until late in the summer or Fall will be found frozen and those on which culti vation stopped In midsummer will be found to have stood the test very well. Many reports of damage come from 2 districts and orchards where borers and other tree pests have not been checked and where we know that the vitality of the trees has been low ered. . "1 Intend to start out my orchard inspectors within a wefek or so and will get complete information. Thus far we have covered the southern peach growing counties pretty well and know the extent of the damage fairly well. There must have been much more In other districts. Some of the great orchards started in Western Pennsylvania have undoubtedlv suf fered." The prospective removal of many of the houses in the lower Wost Side of Steelton recalls the fact that this section of the borough used to bt> known as Ewington. It took its name from Joseph B. Ewlng, one of the most enterprising real estate men the city ever knew and the man who turned the large fields between the canal and the river and north of the Pennsylvania steel works into one of the flourishing portions of Steelton. Ewington became a part of Steelton on March 25, 1882, and for a long time was known as Ewington, a name which is still heard, especially among the older people of Steelton. Among the names of those who petitioned for annexation were C. F. Rheeling, Wil 11am M. James, George. C.

More snowbanks were attacked yes terdaj than on any day since the snows began to fall and scores of ac cumulations of snow and ice were chopped down, thrown into the streets or spread over lawns and tlower beds.

HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH DEMOCRATS SPLIT 0111 CONGRESSMAN Prizer Butts in on Kaufman's Cam paign and Things Are Grow ing Strenuous Rapidly TROUBLE IN BUTLER NOW Public Ledger Says That Palmer Was Busy Trying to Smooth Over the Party Row Right on top of the breach in the Democrats In the Eighteenth Congres sional district over the gubernatorial ambitions of Vance C. McCormick and Michael J. Ryan, there is a fight over who shall have the empty honor of being defeated for congress by Con gressman Aaron S. Krelder. Doc Kreider, the aspiring Bull Moose Capitol Hill officeholder, is not re garded as a factor even by his own party people and the fight among the Democrats for the dubious honor bids fair to be one of those shindies that furnish much joy for those on the sidelines. D. L. Kaufman, who ran on the Democratic ticket last year without much support from some who are noisily proclaiming their party regu larity this year, has braved the frowns of the bosses and started to be a can didate again. Mr. Kaufman knows the i district and the people and has been busy for some time but It is hinted that Charles Prizer, the Middletown stove manufacturer, who has started [papers for the nomination will have the smiles of the bosses. Up to date he has not been mentioned in the .morning factionalist. The announcement of the boom for Oliver C. Bishop, the Oberlin man for the Republican nomination for the House in the lower end, has caused lower Bishop's end and Steelton Dem- Caiulidacy ocrats to get into the Takes Well dumps. John J. New baker, the Ste ell on Democrat who has been boosted by some of the bosses, wan beaten some time ago when he had ambitions and It is said was not convinced up to noon to-day that he had the right call. Bishop's candidacy also gave a chill to Representative J. B. Martin, of Middletown, who realizes that things are different from 1912 and who is said by some to be smiling on Republicans or willing to be smiled upon by them. Bishop is strong throughout the whole lower end, es pecially in Steelton. In the upper end Representative W. W. Lenker, of Wil liamstown, is out fixing up the fences of the Bull Moose corral and H. B. Sausßman is wondering where he will get off at in the Democratic family row. The Philadelphia Public Ledger in commenting upon the visit of Palmer and McCormick to Western Pennsyl vania Beems to think that Palmer had his hands full "ironing All Was Not out tangles." The big Lovely In independent newspa- the West End per of Philadelphia aayß in part: "They were so busy trying to straighten tan gles over who is who in Democratic circles in Butler county that they had no time for speechmaking. Postmas ter Thomas A. Frazier, of Butler, and C. J. D. Stronecker, a banker, who have been Palmer's elect in the coun ty, seem to have lost out to-day. The Reiber faction, which placed Aaron E. Ueiber on the Common Pleas bench with the aid of the 'wets' last Fall, | demanded as the price of peace with Palmer the getting rid of Frazier as dispenser of patronage and the recog nition of County Chairman J. B. Mc- Junkin, of the Reiber faction, in the patronage business. Palmer recently turned down McJunkin on an appoint ment, saying ho would do as Frazier said, and this led to the ultimatum by the Reiber faction to-day. Mr. Pal mer has had frequent conferences with county chairmen and other Demo cratic leaders from the western coun ties since lie came to Pittsburgh Mon day morning. With McCormick and State Chairman Morris, there is rea son to believe that the Congressman has been making valiant efforts to straighten out serious Democratic tan gles which have resulted over the dis pensing of Federal plums." Things are getting complicated for the Democratic members of the Leg islature from Cumberland county, who are seeking re-elec tion. Both Barner and Bowman Burnett have been play- Aspircs ing a safe game in the to Scat hope that there would be. no opposition, but already A. M. Bowman, Camp Hill one of the best known young Demo crats in the county, has announced that he will be a candidate. Bowman possesses strength all over the county, the eastern end being his citadel and he will give the two members an aw ful chase. It is probable that other Democrats will get into the race and a grand free for all fight will result. The two members haVe been busy cultivating their fields, but Burnett may have trouble in his own town. Things were lively in the West End last night. The gangsters lined up in the West End Democratic Club and at the third try pushed over an endorsement for Mc- Cormick. All the local Lively osses turned out to give Times the club members a treat Uptown and after a lot of speechifting a resolution was put through. The first effort to put the club 011 record for McCormick some time ago resulted in the resolu tion being tabled. The next time it was ordered expunged from the rec ords, but last night they bucked the center and carried it over. How many federal jobs will come to town is not stated. At the same time the Capi tal City Republican Club was having a fine time dining J. B. Deshong. Congressman Edgar R. Kiess, of Lycoming, has announced his candi dacy for Republican renomlnation and will make It without • much trouble. Mr. Kiess Will Kiess, who defeated Pr a the redoubtable Wil- | Second Term Ham B. Wilson in the . great Democratic year, has planned a vigorous I •ampaign and people familiar with the district say that he will win. The Republicans in that district are united ' on him, no matter how they are'on other things, and with prospects of a scrap between J. J. Reardon, of Ly coming, and John F. Stone, of Potter, for the Democratic nomination, and the Bull Moosers at odds over their own slate, Kiess has things his own way. The differences in that district are causing much concern about the Democratic State windmill and they are ulso worried'because some poten tial factors will not "swear In.'*' ' hearcMier brother say a. steel in quiry was to be started soon and she thought It was about time the reason for so many burglars was determined.
