THE AUTOMOBILE snow
FOR flvs consecutive years Harris
burg has had an automobile
show such as is seldom seen, out
side of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, in Pennsylvania. That which
opens this evening promises to be even
larger and more comprehensive than
any that has preceded it.
Time was when the automobile was
looked upon merely as a rich man's
toy. To-day It is the most popular
Vehicle in the world —popular not only
In the sense that it has the approval
of the public, but because it has be
come the great "common carrier." It
Is no longer confined to the possession
of the wealthy. Prices have been re
duced almost as rapidly as efficiency
and style have increased, until to-day
he is a poor man, indeed, who has no
thought of some day owning a "ma
chine."
The automobile is not an extrava
gance when properly used. Even the
man of limited salary can afford a
rebuilt "used" machine or one of tho
cheaper models fresh from the factory.
It is well worth to any family all that
it costs, in the way of increased op
portunities for life together In the
open, for better health, a common
topic of fireside conversation and
theme of Interest.
He is a poor specimen of humanity,
indeed, who cannot enthuse over a
new automobile coming into the fam
ily, and the dullard who does not ap
preciate a spin through the country
after a day in store or factory is in
urgent need of medical attention.
The automobile Industry is Just in
its infancy, despite the myriads of
cars on the roads to-duy. They will
become as numerous as bicycles used
to be. Don't smile. If you do not
already own a machine you'll be driv
ing a car yourself one of these days.
President Wilson signed the Alaskan
railroad bill with a Klondike gold pen.
Those Harrlsburgers who invested a
few years ago In Alaskan gold mining
companies will wonder whether any of
their product found Its way into that
pen, particularly as they never had any
return from their investments.
ACTIVITY AT WTEEf/TON
THE organization of a special
company, with a capital stock of
SIOO,OOO, for the sole purpose of
having charge of construction
work in connection with the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company at Steelton,
augurs well for the further enlarge
ment of the steel works there.
Sporadic improvements and occa
sional building operations are ordi
narily farmed out to contractors mak
ing a specialty of that kind of work.
It la only when large corporations
face plant enlargements on a gigantic
scale that they organize separate
companies in order that they may do
their own building. It is, therefore,
but fair to assume that there are
larger enterprises In store for Steelton
than have as yet been announced. It
will require no little work to keep a
>IOO,OOO company on a paying basis,
and even the extensive developments
begun this week would not alone jus
tify the formation of such an organiza
tion as is contemplated under the
charter just taken out by steel com
pany officials.
Palm leaf fans are now being adver
tised. Thus do we see signs of ap
proaching Spring.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACTS
THE Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce has lost no time in fol
lowing up the introduction of
Congressman Kreider's bill for
the further enlargement of the Fede
ral building here with a hearty in
dorsement.
The Chamber of Commerce is made
up largely of the business men of the
city. None realize more than they the
importance of adequate postal facili
ties for the proper conduct of the
commercial enterprises of Harrisburg,
especially since so large a proportion
of shipments are now being made by
parcel post.
When the late Congressman olm
pted was instrumental in liming ;< bill
passed appropriating 11-5,000 for the
improvement of the building here
the .parcel hill had nut hern iri
SATURDAY EVENING, BATOUBBURO ®tS® TELEGRXPH MARCI [ 14, 1914.
troduced anil there seemed little likeli
hood of such n law at a very early
date. The sum named would have
been sufficient for the purposes Intend
ed at the time, but it la apparent al
ready that the additional sum for
which Congressman Kreider has asked
will be necessary if the rapid growth
of the postal business under the new
conditions Is to be properly cared for.
The Chamber of Commerce is right
In extending to the Congressman every
assistance within Its power. There is
nothing like home backing to make
legislators understand that appropria
tions sought by their fellows are
really needed.
Inasmuch as the next Legislature
I will have few purely political matters
to worry about, the election of a United
States Senator being disposed of In the
| general election next November, the
choice of legislators Is going to rest
almost entirely upon their fitness to
legislate rather than upon political
considerations. For this reason aspir
ants for the Legislature will not be able
to avoid committing themselves upon
a number of propositions which are
certain to bo threshed out during the
session of 1916, notably woman suffrage
and local option.
WORK FOR THE IDLE
WHILE the snow is piled high
all over the city, the several
heads of departments are
struggling with the figures
jof the 1914 budget with a view to the
| energetic prosecution of the several
public improvement projects which \
are already under way or about to
be started. It is to their credit that]
the City Commissioners realize thej
importance of providing employment'
as soon as possible after the opening
of Spring, and it is expected that all
the measures and plans and contracts
will have been passed upon before tho
end of cold weather, which will make
possible outside work.
This same policy is being pursued
by the railroad companies and the
corporations which are contemplating
important Improvements, including tho
Second street subway, the building
of the new bridge of the Cumberland
Valley Railroad over the Susquehanna
river and other enterprises of individ
uals and corporations.
While other cities are likely to feel
the squeeze of nonemployment, Har
risburg is in a rather fortunate po
sition because of the provisions for
large public expenditures and the
projects that have been provided for
by the railway and private corpora
tions in this city and Steelton.
Uncle Sam has made his first plunge
into governmental ownership In the
Alaskan railway project of President
Wilson. It remains to be seen whether
this change of governmental policy in
this respect is going to mean a gradual
diminution of Individual initiative and
a loss of that American energy which
has been responsible for the tremend
ous development and growth of the na
tion. The experience of other coun
tries would seem to Indicate that the
United • States could well leave the
building and operation of its railroads
to private enterprise.
UNPAID PAVING BILLS
NO one will question the business
judgment of the City Council
in its decision to make no
change In the city tax rate for
the year 1914. It was thought for a
time that there might be a slight re
duction for a part of the year; In
other words, that by reason of the
change in the city government there
would be only nine months to be cov
ered in the proposed tax levy. On
further consideration, however. It is
said to be the conclusion of the com
missioners that nothing would bo
gained by a temporary reduction
while the city continued to pay in
terest on paving assessments against
non-assessable properties amounting
to more than $50,000. These assess
ments have been accumulating for
more than ten years, and it will hard
ly be contended by any one conversant
with business principles that there
should be a further period of waiting
before these obligations are can
celled.
"While these unpaid paving bills and
street damages have come down as a
legacy of previous administrations, it
is not wise to further postpone settle
ment day. It Is said to be probable,
therefore, that the Council will pro
vide in the budget for the wiping out
of these assessments rather than In
vite fleeting applause for a brief
spasm of alleged economy by a slight
reduction of the tax levy.
If the conditions of the unemployed
in many of the large cities of the coun
try shall lead to an exodus to the rural
districts and the taking up of vacant
lands, then good may come of what at
present seems a distressing Industrial
situation. Even In Dauphin county
there ought to be more intensive farm
ing notwithstanding the present more
or less prosperous conditions. We are
not getting from the soil what we
should by reason of the failure of many
of our farmers and fruit growers to
take advantage of their opportunities
under scientific development.
South Harrisburg has been ver; pa
tient over the.Dock street bridge hold
up, and Mr. Lynch, the superintendent
of streets and public work, is being
given much credit for pushing the |
plans and the proposition generally 1
since he assumed office. The closing of
this bridge has been a great depriva
tion for the people of the southern sec
tion of the city and when the rebuild
ing has once started, it ought to be
pushed with all the ginger possible.
Bids for this work were opened to-day.
With the characteristic energy of tho
Allison Hill district, preparations are
being made for a great evangelistic
campaign in the near future.
Out Sharon way the railroad track
walkers are seeing bluebirds and frogs.
The song of either would be welcome
music here.
A 22,000 diamond has been located by
X-rays in a Vickuburg mun's stomach.
Why didn't he spend the money for n
dozen eggs ami have a real meal?
Dean Lewis is out. for local option.

It is rather astonishing the way
people flock to see an unidentified
corpse," said an undertaker last even
lag in talking about accidents and
their attendant features. "I have had 1
?v? . * now ot some odd experiences in
,that line and It Illustrates human na
i ture. 1 guess X have known of a dozen
unknown persons placed In my care
i,or the care of other undertakers and
: probably 100 people came to see the
I bodies for purpose of identification.
Home of the callers came out of curios
ity and some came to see lost children,
brothers or sisters. One woman came i
lin tears and I found out she just I
I wanted to see the body. Never had
any idea of identifying. I know of
on ® ease in which fourteen persons
l called to see the body of a girl. Some
jof them were women seeking daugh
ters. Some of the tales I have heard
have been pitiful and in this case X
speak of six women who were hunt
ing daughters who had left home. Of
| course, we can never tell whether a
person coming around to identify 1
means business or comes out of curios- j
lty. It is hard to discriminate." I
Harrisburg hotel registers have been
ornamented with the slogan, "Votes
for V. omen" lately and the marking
appears to attract much attention. At
one of the big hotels an ardent suf
fragist appended the legend to her
name before the clerk could say Jack
Robinson. Soon after a traveling man
came along and wrote: "See my
shoes.' Another man wrote after his!
name "Favojs Wilson." Tf the suf-!
fraglst lady saw the other slogans she j
made no sign.
J Amateur night which proved to be
the undoing of a band of orators of
the suffragist association is an estab
i llshed institution in Harrisburg's the
aters, especially the vaudeville houses.
|An invitation is given for all per
sons who think they can act, sing or
dance to show their stunts and some
real clever things are presented, espe
cially team sketches. But one char
acteristic is that everyone "gets the I
hook. ' Whether the stunt be good
or bad the "hook'' goes out and while
volunteers were inclined to resent it
at first they do so no longer. They
can tel! whether the applause or
laughter when they are hauled off is
the right kind or not; in other words
whether it is with or at them.
A man who had been told that Fa
ther Penn would not object very much
If he caught a xjalr of squirrels and
took them tb his home town for the
public park is looking for the man
who told him that. He went to the
park one day and admirred the squir
rels and some one noticing his interest
talked about them and imported the
information that the State was glad
to furnish them, but that they must
be taken by the hand to meet the
laws. The man bought a bag of nuts
and started to catch squirrels. He had
no trouble catching the animals but
what happened when he tried to keep
them sent him to a drug store for
court plaster. One squirrel bit him
In three places and another scratched
his thumb so that hfe will not be able
to use it for a week.
The destruction of the Huston mill
near Hogestown on Thursday will in
terest a good many Harrlsburgers who
have spent the summer days along the
Co»odoguinet creek. The mill was an
ancient one being along a road which
crossed the creek a short distance
above Hogestown and was a survival
of the days when the whole property
was one of the iron making enter
prises. A forge was located there many
years ago and while the forgo has
gone the dam remains and the water
power ran the grist and saw mills.
National Guardsmen hereabouts are
of the opinion that it will not be very
long before the Eighth Regiment is
given another company, thereby mak
ing it a twelve company regiment.
The Eighth Is one of the few regi
ments short of the standard, the Four
teenth being another. Recently one
company was added to the Thirteenth
making it a full regiment, and other
companies will be added to the Four
teenth. Harrisburg is the center of
the Eighth, which is widely scattered
but at the same time can be quickly
assembled in this city because of the
railroads. Perhaps the new company
might be located here or at Steelton.
SEE THE ALTO SHOW

Say, Bill, hear that honk-honk,
Hear that siren horn.
Something must be doing,
Sure as you were born.
Where are all the peoplo
Headed for to-night?
Surely, they expect to
See some pleasing sight.
"Don't you know?" Bill answers,
"Say, you're mighty slow.
They're off for the Arena
With its Auto Show."
"Austos, big and little,
Motorcycles, too,
And accessories are
Waiting there for you.
"Even though you haven't
Made your mind up, quite
That you'll buy, be sure to
See the show to-night.
"Or If that you can't do.
Sometime next week go.
Take the whole blamed family.
They'll enjoy the show."

OPPRESSIVE DEMOCRATS

Some of our local so-called progres

ought to have a talk with themselves

make themselves believe they are i
what they say they are, they ate I
lucky. No one else believes them.

"I am a candidate for renomination
jto the House on the Republican ticket
land will enter the primaries as vigor-,
I ously as I can," said Representative
; Augustus Wlldman to-day.
Mr. Wlldman's papers for the re- ]
nomination are now In circulation in
the city and will probably be filed at •
the Capitol within the next few days, t
The nominating petition of Dr. James j
E. Dickinson, Mr. Wlldman's col-[
league, is also expected to be filed be
j fore many days.
Republicans In the Second Leglsla
; tlve District are discussing various
candidate?, among those mentioned
beina O. C. Bishop, Oberlin; Albert B.
Schenck, Derry township; Dr. M. C.
Putt, Oberlin; er.-Representative C. D.
Row, Willlamstown, and H. M. Fair
cliild, Mlllersburg.
Dr. D. W. Bchaffnur, of Eithaut,
named a Poor Board physician by
grace of the machine, has finally con
sented to do what he can
to help the bosses by
Sohaffner standing as a Democratic
Will Bear candidate for the House
a Burden In tho Second Legislative
District. John J. New
baker, the wise old Dem
ocratic leader in Steelton, was slated
for the nomination, according to
rumor, but with McCormick- and
Prlzer to run with, It Is said that he
did not like the signs. Hence, the
gallant Enhaut physician has been
given a come-quick call as a return for
his job. Dr. Schaffner has upon sev
eral occasions essayed to break Into
office by the votes of the people, but
has not been as successful as In get
ting appointive Jobs. H. B. Saussa
man is slated for the other Second
district nomination, and in the city
the bosses are hunting some one to be
goat along with the perennial Ijy
barger.
The members of the Central Demo
cratic Club were lost night prepared
for the coming speech by Secretary of
the Navy J.osephus
Daniels by an oration
by Jesse Job-hunting Jesse and
Lybarger, recently de- the Knights
feated for the House of Lone Ago
and county controller
ship, and who is once
more a candidate. Mr. Lybarger was
Intended to bo a mere satellite In the
galaxy of speechmakers at the club
last nigth, but by forc.o of voice and
use of metaphor he assumed solar
proportions. Mr. Lybarger was filled
with ideas about knights and lances,
but whether he had been reading of
the Spaniard who tilted at a windmill
or was consumed by memories of the
paladin Roland, did not appear,
Julius Caesar, the worst boss Rome
ever knew, was also used In one of
the slmilies of Mr. Lybarger. Vance
C. McCormick, candidate for the gu
bernatorial nomination, made a speech
in which he agreed to abide by the
primaries; li S. Prlzer, the single taxer
and stove manufacturer, who is. a can
didate for tl*e congressional nomina
tion; the old reliable T. K. VanDyUe,
Arthur C. Young, H. M. Bretz and
President Jones' also spoke. Mr.
Young also gave the club an easy
chair.
"Brumbaugh for Governor will
sweep through the entire Allegheny
Valley district like wildfire," said Sen
ator Joseph H.Thomp
son, of Beaver county,
Thompson who was in Philadel-
Booms Dr. pliia yesterday to dis-
Brumbnugh cuss with Republican
leaders the candidacy
of Judge Fraser for
the Supreme Court nomination. Sen
ator Thompson is the ex-Republican
county chairman of Beaver and Is in
touch with Republican sentiment
throughout the western portion of the
State. He said that all the active
workers with whom he conferred re
garded Superintendent Brumbaugh as
the strongest man the party could
nominate and as a sure winner In No
vember.
A political "war" Is brewing In the
camp of the Northumberland county
Democrats over the post of county
chairman. The job is
now held down by Ed
ward F. Weldenham- liow Brews
mer, of Milton. John Up River
W. Timmes, solicitor Over Job
for Aaron Raker,
County Controller, it
Is said, will be his opponent. Timmes
is an active young Democrat and was
formerly county chairman. Weiden
hammer was chairman last year. Op
position to Weldenhammer comes
from Shamokln, where Timmes lives,
and his partisans assert that the coun
ty chairmanship belongs In Shamokln,
where there are many turbulent
voters, many of whom are among the
foreign-speaking element. Shamokln
and Coal township have 2,500 Demo
cratic votes, they assert, while Milton
has in the neighborhood of 600. This
year, some Democrats say, the State
committee will make rules which will
require the person chosen by the
voters for member of the State com
mittee In the county to serve as county
committeemen. Weidenhammer was
j chosen when Edward Raker, county
charman, became postmaster of Sha
mokln.

vania seems to have fallen into the
wayß of the Democrats , and Bull
Moosers in "suggest

Ticket Is used to be called slate
i "Suggested" making, but a letter
Issued by the Rev. Dr.
B. E. P. Prugh styles
It the work of a committee "to prepare
a ticket of suggestions." The com
mittee, in addition to suggesting can
didates, Issued a statement of its posi
tion that he who runs may read. The
statement Is as follows: "Resolved,
; That It is the sense of the executive
committee of the Prohibition party of
Pennsylvania that: Regardless of
