Without desire to minimize any good thing the President has done or any reform that lie has accomplished, ig it asking too much to be permitted to withhold Judgment until the lapse of time shall give us a better perspec tive Of happenings at Washington and until the results of legislation enacted during the past year shall have be come apparent? There is an old ad ftft that he who laughs last laughs beat, and a Republican smile or two marmot be so much a matter of the dim and distant future us some of our Democratic friends seem to Imagine. In the first place, nobody can as yet foresee the full effects of the Under wood tariff act. That business has suffered under It is apparent, but ■whether or not It will be permanently injured remains to be seen. There are Indications that in this respect the low tariff will not be the unlimited bless ing that its sponsors declare It will be. At all events, If it has not injured u* much, neither has It brought about the ■barp and immediate reduction of prices that the President and his friends claimed for it when they were making their election promises. Hav ing failed In this respect, where do we a* a people benefit thereby and why all this rejoicing over the lowering of the tariff wall? The Income tax law is a masterpiece of confusion. If It had been designed to render Its operation difficult and make possible all manner of court ap peals as to legality, the Job could not have been done better. Whether or not it will provide the government with the revenues necessary for con duct of its rapidly increasing expendi tures or leave the national treasury to face a deficit remains to be seen. It la too early to judge. The new bank law seems to be all right In the main and will doubtless work out to the benefit of national banking conditions, but It must not be forgotten that this bill Is not entirely a Democratic measure, and that had It been passed in the form originally Intended the efTects would have been quite as bad as they now appear to be good. There Is Just one activity of the President that has not been touched I upon by his newspaper admirers. They ( |l|ave had nothing to say concerning IMlltlcal activities. In this line he has fegen as eminently successful as any partisan boss ever was. He has "reno tated" the Democratic household In FRIDAY EVENING, HARRJSBURO TELEGRAPH MARCH 6,1914. New York State and has personally picked the candidates whom he would i like to see United States senator and I governor in Pennsylvania. No Presi dent has been more successful In dic tating State politics than President Wilson, but even here the final results are not apparent and there are many who entertain the suspicion that per haps they will not be entirely pleas • Ing to the resident of the White House. 1 Meanwhile the armies of the unem ployed grow dally and new orders for manufactured goods are pitifully |' small. The President's friends would do well to pause in their rejoicing un -1 til the final accounts shall have been l entered and the ledger balanced at the close of a four-year term. Twelve months constitute a rather brief period i in which to judge the ultimate suc cess or failure of an administration as yet in its infancy. If the suffragists do not want the Chief Executive of this fair land to be so "sick" again that he will have to stay in his own room, they had better not send any more delegations to sco him while he is President. THE CURFEW MEASURE DUE to the activity of the Civlo Club a "curfew" ordinance pro viding that children under si*-, teen years be off the streets at j night will soon be introduced in Coun cil. Tiie City Commissioners will be shown statistics and reports by the Civic Club's committee to prove the good effects laws of this kind have had in other cities of the State. Mrs. A. L. Martin, chairman of the committee, will produce evidence that a curfew law has been strictly enforced In Wilkes-Barre for nearly fifteen years with beneficial results, and this with out the addition of a single policeman to the force of that city. Other sta tistics to be presented to the commis sioners for their cinsideration will show that most of the juvenile crime brought to the attention of the courts is committed at the time of night when youngsters should be In bed. ■ Council already has passed an ordi nance forbidding unaccompanied chil dren In places of amusement after 8 o'clock. This ordinance becomes a law to-morrow. Now the commissioners will be asked to go a step farther and forbid the boys and girls of the city to "run the streets" after dark, and the matter Is of such Importance that councilmen should give it full atten tion and consider the ordinance in all Its aspects and effects before • acting upon It. On Its face It looks like a good thing, but there may be excep tions here and there, and at all events It must be fully understood that once adopted the regulations must be strict ly enforced, or conditions will be worse than at present Down Camden way It was reported to-day that a "Journalist" was over come by gas. Impossible! ! SAVING THE SUSQUEHANNA BOTH the Wilkes-Barre Times- Leader and Scranton Tribune- Republican discuss very Lerlous ly Congressman Moore's recent speech In Congress In behalf of a navigable Susquehanna river. They put it on a purely economical basis and attempt to show that not only Is the Improvement feasible but that millions of dollars would be saved yearly to Central Pennsylvania by opening the river to shipping as far north as Wilkes-Barre. The Times-Leader quotes authori ties to prove that "$35,000,000 a year in transportation of anthracite coal would be saved if the river could be made navigable" from that city to the Chesapeake Bay. The writer ex presses the belief that the numerous plans for deepening the stream that have marked the .years have been blocked by lobbies at Washington whose interests lie In preventing the use of the river for navigation on a large scale. It is unquestionably true that if the Susquehinna could be opened even to boats of only medium size as far north as Wilkes-Barre, and the old North Branch canal reopened between that city and Sayre, hundreds of thou sands of tons of coal that are now transported to the seacoast by rail would be brought down the river in boats, at a great saving of transpor tation charges. The Tribune-Republican, which lias not the same dollar and Cent Interest in the project as has the Wilkes-Barre newspaper, nevertheless expresses the belief that in any event something ought to be done to rescue the beauti ful stream, which, from Pittston down, has become practically a sewer, and State pride, if nothing else, should be Interested in saving the Susquehanna. Thank goodness, it will soon be six weeks since February 2. THE M'CUAIG LECTURES THE McCuaig lectures, which came to a close on Wednesday even ing. have unquestionably made a deep Impression In Harrisburg. Coming immediately after the talk on sex purity by Dr. Howard A. Kelly, Dr. McCuaig found the ground broken for him and the people much Inter ested In the subject he came to dis cuss. Harrisburg Is notoriously neg- I lectful or the speaker who comes "with a message" of any sort. Even the worldfamous Dwight L. Moody, who drew thousands and tens of thousands the country over, was permitted to ad dress a mere handful of people here. This is something to be ashamed of, but It is true. All the more notable is it, then, that Dr. McCuaig- drew so many to hear him during the nearly three weeks he was here. Magnetic speaker that he is. he could not have held his audiences so unless there was In the minds of the masses a new and deep Interest in the sdbject matter of his lectures. i A dispatch says Thaw got mixed up over his Income tax statement. Now does that prove he ought to be in Mat teawan, or doesn't it? L W. W. seems to mean in most In stances "I Won't Work." ctvenin& CEATI Mute evidence of the severity of Sunday's blizzard is still apparent from the car windows of trains passing to and fro upon the Rockvllle bridge. That Sunday mgnt will go down in nißtory oi Pennsylvania Kailroau Biorma as one of tne worat; from day to day the toll ig being reckoned in repair bills and maintenance requi sitions. Tne average traveler in one of tne Pennsy's swift trains doesn't ponuer over tuat pnase of tne storm's trail; he has tne severity of the weather more forcibly impressed upon hiin, nowever, as he nues over tne briage and IOOKS out upon the frosen expanse of tne Susquenanna beneatn. tar below tne briuge, firmly Imoedded in the ice. is tne evidence—half a uozen bits, In fact. They are the roofa of treight cars that were blown from the cars during tne groat blizzard as the trains passed over the briuge. From time to time old Telegraph readers ana subscribers bring In copies of the newspaper of tne uayß when Lincoin was tne man of tne nour. Tne papers are always a matter of inter est, especially to Telegraph readers, it lor no olner reason tnau purposes ot comparison. Just such a copy was re cently unearthed from a lot ot old treasures of tne kind by Frank N. Templar, recently promoted to the chief clerkship of the Department of Public Safety. Mr. Tempiar lias had .he paper tucked away for a number of years and it is in an excellent state of preservation. Tne paper is es pecially interesting in that it contains tne story of the death of Abraham Lincoln, it is dated April 15, lSt>s. Another Telegraph of September 2u, iSbi, exhibited by Mr. Tempiar con tains an account of tne death of Presi dent James A. Garfield. Tho parcel post is saving money for Father and it may amount to tiiousands of dollars at the end ot the •>ear. hi tne Hlgnway Department ail automobile tags have been going par cel post, a ruling to this etteci having been made last April, and the numer ous bulletins and other publications above four pounds have been going the same way. in years gone by the express payments of the state mounted into high figures, but now Uncle Sam gets the business wherever possible, and after tho middle of this month probably more will go under the new ruling from Washington. The experi ence of the Department of Agriculture Illustrates the way it has been saving money. On a shipment of 143 bulle tins the other day the department saved $28.21 as compared with express rates, while on a shipment of 147 bulletins it saved 133.54. Another ad vantage In the shipment of such pub lications which go mostly to farmers and people in rural communities, is tnat by the parcel post the rural mail delivery man carries it right to hi& "ox within a short distance of tho house, whereas before It went to the nearest express office and the farmer nad to go and get it. Secretary N. B. Critchfleld has been pushing the dis tribution end of the department to an oxtent never dreamed of two years ago oy means of the parcel post system and Is doing it cheaper than under the old plan. If the ruling to admit books >s made the State will save still greater sums of money because the 19X3 Smull's Handbook and the pamphlet .aws are going out. The snow which fell yesterday at tracted much attention among the weatherwise because someone had fig ured out that It was the "Onion" snow, or the snow which ordinarily ends the lall for the year. However, It Is said by some of our rural friends that the onion" snow comes about the firs* week in April and is so named because .t falls right after the new onions have been set out. Although automobile licenses have oeen Issued from the office of the division at the Capitol by the thou sands lately, people are still asking for special numbers. One man has asked tor 40,Q0u, while another who follows the issuance of tags has stated that nasmuch as it does not look as though traveling would be good for some weeks to come, he would be glad if when 50,000 is reached it should be put aside for him. "i Council is getting ready to rename some of the streets which have been going about under names of the fishes and fowls, the ierrles and the flowers," said a man •vho follows such matters pretty closely. "Now why does not the Coun cil of the capital city of Pennsylvania adopt the -lan of Philadelphia and name its streets after the counties and the Governors? Surely there is no more approbate place to have the names of counties and the men who lave been Governors than right here at the capital. It Is worth while con sidering instead of taking fancy names and putting them on streets. Phila delphia laid out streets for miles around and they are now building up or built up.. They bear the names of counties and Governors and our city planning commission could give the Council some good suggestions." Nathan R. Buller, the State Com missioner of Fisheries, who returned to the State Capitol yesterday after having been snowbound for several days, said that ho never wanted to go through the experience again. "We had snow drifts thirty feet high in the streets of our town and I saw them twenty feet high In many places. One woman was frozen to death going to a barn and two boys who got lost may die as a result of exposure." irouriCAbsioebifthfra —lf a Republican newspaper were to print an appeal to Bull Moosers to return to the Republican ranks on en rollment day certain Democratic news papers would declare It was violating the principals of the primary law. —Senator Penrose said yesterday that all O'Neil was after was to catch votes. —Bonniwell should not be so severe on the game of using patronage to catch votes for the White House ticket.

PILiyER FAILED TO SEGIE PEACE Congressman Said to Be Disap pointed as a Result of West ern Invasion CONGRESSMAN LEE IS HIT Fight Among the Democrats Be coming Very Bitter in Every Part of State Tho Pittsburgh Dispatch, which oc cupies about the aame position in re gard to Independent politics as is oc cupied by the Public Ledger In Phila delphia, and which has been, if any thing, favorable to the Democratic State machine, gives the following In side story of the invasion of Western Pennsylvania which turned into a re treat from Moscow: "Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer found the Democratic situation here so involved and the feeling so bitter that he refused before departing for the East to make any comment on existing conditions. Whatever efforts he may have put forth to harmonize tho warring factions In Allegheny county were unavailing and It Is prob able that his efforts to heal up the differences in the Erie-Crawford Con gressional district were quite as un availing. In the Northwest a big Democratic row was precipitated by the appointment of Assemblyman E. Lowry Humes as United States prose cutor in the western district here. Tho county organization in Crawford gave notice of Its displeasure by defeating the Palmer-McCormlck candidate for county chairman by an overwhelming vote. The Humes faction Is now be hind the candidacy of S. 8. Bryan, of Tltusville, for the congressional nomi nation, and the opposition is prepared to line up behind ex-Mayor Liebel, of Erie. The fight will go on down the line Into the legislative and other battles and will have a direct effect upon the county fights of next year. Federal patronage will probably be shoved out to help the Bryan-Humes cause, as a number of Post Office appointments are now being held up in the district. "Congressman Palmer left Western Pennsylvania convinced that the chal lenges shot out from the rival countv committee meetings In this county last wee! were not mere flashes In the pan. It Is to be a bitter battle to the finish, for even now the rival leaders aro con ferring with their followers, and each side will have a complete set of can didates for every nomination to be made In the county." According to Philadelphia news papers, Speaker Alter has not yet decided what he will do about the In vitation of the Dlmmlck boomers Gubernatorial to become a can- Sltuatlon Is dldate for the Re- Inteireating Now publican nomina tion for Governor on an antl-Pen rose platform. The Speaker Is com mitted to the Dimmick candidacy and is being urged to stand, but does not appear to be anxious to make the fight for personal reasons. In Philadel phia Senator Penrose let loose a broadside at J. Denny O'Neil yester day, declaring him an opportunist. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh Is getting hundreds of letters and telegrams urg ing him to be a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Governor, but he will not announce himself until he is formally requested by people in his home county of Huntingdon, where a big movement for him has started. When Penrose was asked about Dr. Brumbaugh he said that he would be glad to see him and anyone else In the race, as a lot of candidates would express the spirit of the State wide primary. This attitude, needless to say, is In sharp contrast to the sav age resentment shown by the reor ganization Democrats against Michael J. Ryan for daring to run against the Jersey slate. The Bull Moosers are expecting Brumm to get into the fight against Lewis and will welcome the chance for a fight. The troubles of the reorganisation bosses of the State Democracy in the Montgomery district have been inten sified by the refusal of Henry Wilson Bergey, a member Bergey Will of the last House. Not Play the to lie down. Ber- Dead Man Part gey Is a natural born kicker, and the story goes that when he said he wanted to be senatorial choice of the reorganizes they responded by slating Edward Ingersoll, a close friend of Congressman R. E. Dlefenderfer, who wants to be re-elected. This did not deter Bergey a bit and yesterday he announced his candidacy from the metropolis of Lansdale. Senator Jo seph Heacock will probably be a can didate for renomlnation, and thus the Democrats are split right off the reel. E. W. Patton will run for the Repub lican nomination to succeed John O. Sheatz In Philadelphia, and Sam Scott yesterday announced that ho was ready to be promoted from the House to the Senate If the Germantown peo ple wanted him. Representative C. C. Hoover, a good, strong member from Clearfield, will be a candidate for tho Republican nomination in that dis trict. The Philadelphia Record of to-day makes this statement In regard to a situation recently given attention here: "Announcement was made at the Ryan headquarters yesterday that Henry J. McAteer, of Huntingdon, who had been groomed by Palmer for State Senator In his district, had de clared for the City Solicitor for Gov ernor. Mr. McAteer repudiated as un true a report from Palmer sources that the Huntlngfidon county com mittee had endorsed McCormick." Reorganization Democrats here to day were amazed when they heard that the fight in Schuylkill county had resulted In D. F. Gui nan, of Mahanoy City, Opposition being brought out as a Starts to candidate for the Dem- Robert Lee ocratlc nomination for Congress against Con gressman R. E. Lee. Guinan stood aside for Lee last time ana is said to want to run. He Is a banker and prominent In affairs.
