MARCH 28 A WHOLESOME SIGN THERE could be no more certain Indication of the growth of the city along substantial lines than the fact that the demand for houses to rent Is far beyond the sup ply. While this condition is embarrass ing and annoying to the home-seeker »nd doubtless is temporarily retarding the city's progress, it is nevertheless a wholesome sigu. There is nothing so discouraging to city development as a host of "to let" cards decorating the front doors of empty houses, indicat ing either a shrinkage of population or an "over-built" condition that is al most as bad. Following the great building boom of a few years back, that sent the city's built-up section far out over what had been unbroken fields both In the West End and Allison Hill dis tricts, real estate men and financiers feared that over-zealous contractors might have gone beyond the imme diate needs of the community. If this was true at any time the condition is of the past. At present the town needs more than anything else four or five hundred, houses to rent from J2O to J3O a month, and not a few to rent for less. It must be remembered that the Cumberland Valley Railroad is about to cause the vacation of several blocks of dwellings along Mulberry street, that the Pennsylvania railroad con templates the demolition of as many more, that the State will continue to tear out the Eighth ward districts that are to be given over to the Capitol Park extension and that in Steelton the Pennsylvania Steel Company is removing the houses of a whole voting precinct on the West Side. The peo ple occupying these buildings must be boused, so it would appear that the builder may anticipate a bufty and prosperous Spring and summer. With all the Inspiration and direc tion emanating from the 'White House, !*vhose occupant has undertaken to insurp the functions of all departments «if the government, it is not surprising (that the Wilson choice for Governor of Pennsylvania should indicate his pur pose to change the rules of the Legis lature and do a few more stunts usually left to the legislative bodies them selves. SUPPOSE HE SHOULD RETIRE AS a we quote two sentences from an editorial in thu Read ing News. You have doubtless often heard expressions of the bind: Penrose refuses to see the hand writing on the wall. His only hope for saving thu face of his party Is by getting out of the race and re tiring into a discredited oblivion. Let ub waive for tho moment the Question whether Senator Penrose de serves "discredited oblivion" and let tis see how much hard common sense there is in this argument. Lot us sup pose that Senator Penrose were to refuse to be a candidate foi re-election. Would our opponents in the Flinn camp and the Palmer camp be willing to admit that "bostism" in the Repub lican party had been annihilated over night? Would they generously pro. claim to the people of Pennsylvania that "Penroseism" was at last a thing of the past and that it now mattered very little whether the Keystone State Bent a Republican or a Democrat or a Progressive to Washington? Merely to ask the question answers it. It is perfectly apparent that if Mr. Penrose were to retire from the race the opponents of Republicanism who have built up a machine of offense designed expressly to attack Senator Penrose woulfl decline to allow their elaborately prepared plan of campaign to be interfered with in this way. The very next morning after Senator Penrose had announced his retirement we would bo Informed by a certain class of papers that the Republic in party had acknowledged its defeat be fore the first gun was fired. We would likewise be informed that the retire ment of Senator Penrose was merely a subterfuge to fool the people and that the remaining candidates on the ticket "were masks for the "boss" who still skulked behind the breastworks. There arc. three for TJnlted States senator before the voters of the Republican party. One of them la Senator Penrose, another is ex-Mayor -CUmiiilck. of Scranton, arid the thiro 4 MONDAY EVENING. is Congressman Alney. There is no way under the sun in which Senator Penrose or anyone else can prevent you as a free and independent Repub lican from voting for Mr. Dimmlck or Mr. Alney if you prefer either of them to Senator Penrose. The State-wldo primary, taking the nominations of United States senator out of the Legis lature und placing them In the hands of the voters directly, was passed for the special purpose of preventing any boss or clique from forcing down the throats of the electorate any candidate not acceptable to the people at largo. It is up to the voters, and the advo i catcs of an open primary must stand convicted of insincerity unless they face the issue of determining in the primary who shall be the candidates /or these Important offices. We have been told over and over again that the old system of convention nominations and elections by the Legislature was an imposition and disgrace. Now let us give the new system a fair trial, not countenancing interference by bosses of any party. Otherwise the primary is a farce. Berry now tells his open-mouthea hearers that there are two Democrats in Pennsylvania for every Republican. He says the Progressives "have not found it out yet," but that they are Democrats. "BUCK" MIXNIS T'HCRE is sadness among the large force of Federal employes in this city and in a wide circle outside those immediately asso ciated with him in their daily employ ment. "Buck" Minnis is dead and when his big heart ceased to beat the light of a cheerful, friendly and loyal personality was extinguished; but those who kne * the big letter carrier will not forget In the years to come his optimism, his sympathy with his fellow men, his cheerful acceptance of the unpleasant things of life, his cordial greetings as he went up and .down in the performance of his daily duties. Everybody love*d "Buck" and they loved him because they couldn't help It. He was the sort of man to invite friendship and to hold it and the world Is a lot better because of the big letter carrier's sojourn here. One of the surcharged orators of the reorganized Democracy declared the other day that time is reckoned in Har rlsburg by the McCormick mayoralty administration "Just as in the old days they reckoned time as after the flood." O temporal O, mores! WILSON AND FAIlt PLAY PRESIDENT WILSON, addressing a gathering 3f newspaper men in Washington on Friday evening, begged for fair play on the part of the press. The President implied, if he did not say so in so many words, that the newspapers had not been treating him fairly. The trouble Is not with the press of the country—it is with the viewpoint of Mr. Wilson himself. Everybody who does not happen to agree in every respect with the autocrat of the White House "is subject to suspicion if not open accusation. Anybody in or out of the Democratic party who does not bow absolutely to the wishes of the administration is charged with being unfair to the President. President Wilson must remember that he is a minority President. He does not represent the views of a ma jority of tl.e people of the United States. He is the product of a divi sion in the Republican party. His tariff views will be repudiated at the next elections. His Mexican policy— If he may be said to have one—ls ridiculed even by members of his own party. When he has been right in the legislation he has urged upon Congress he has been supported by Republicans as well as Democrats. When ho has used the White House in an attempt to dictate the policies of sovereign States in an effort to build up a Demo cratic machine for his own re-election, he has been censured. He has been treated fairly if ever man in the White House • has been treated fairly. Republican newspapers have praised him when he has done anything worthy of praise and they have con sistently refrained from the methods of the Democratic character assassins who have gone to any length to be smirch the reputations of Republicans in the Presidential chair. There is just one sentence in tho speech of Friday night that requires explanation: "If I could disguise my self and not get caught, then I might go out and meet some of you gentle men and tell you what I really think?" Is it possible, after all this outward show and pretense of frankness on the part of the administration that the President has not been telling us what lie really thinks? If he is so anxious for fair play he might at least let the newspapers know how he expects them to £o about it. So far as trade with the United States Is concerned, the outlook Is for a very material Increase over the past calendar year. It Is inter esting to note that up to and In cluding February 14, wfilcli Is exactly half of the first quarter, the value of exports declared at Bir mingham alone was 3576,209, an Increase of $172,558 over the simi lar period of 1913. The number of Invoices was 109 greater, an In crease of 28% per cent. There are a number of new shippers and firms that shipped many years ago, but who had lost their American busi ness, who show signs of renewing their American connections. —Daily Consular and Trade Reports. What do wo care about the loss of homo' wages represented in this in crease of imported goods? Think how we are profiting by the reduction in the high cost of living which Is every where apparent! Hooray for free trade! British worsted fabrics exported in January totaled nearly 10,000,- 000 yards, an Increase of one and four-fifths million yaros/Over Jan uary, 1913. Shipments t<ythe United States were four and orte-flfth mil lion yards, an Increase of two and four-fifths million yards. Dally Consular and Trade Reports, Are your clothes any cheaper'' Not yet. But the money that would have been paid to American wage earners for manufacturing that two and l'our- Yifths million yards of goods at homo under a protective tariff lias gone abroad. ieveniD6' cbdf Every one of the tifty or sixty nomi nating petitions filed at the depart ment of the Secretary of the Com monwealth in advance of the May pri mary contains from ten to a couple of hundred names more than the law re quires and if reports are correct some of those to be filed will be immense affuirs, beating the lO.OOU-name affairs of the 1912 campaign and the gigantic Vare petitions In that historic cam paign, which broke the record. Pe titions have been taken out by the hundreds and some of them have been distributed by the thousand. The State supplies petitions as fjir as necessary, but the requests for 500 and 1,000 blank petitions for nominations which do not require ten have been filled only as far as che supply on hand per mitted. Some of the candidates had their own papers printed with their names printed thereon and that means that somo huge bundles will be tiled. Every candidate files a petition with a safe margin above the requirements of the law. but beyond that it is a matter of pride, apparently, and messages re ceived on the "Hill" from men who are candidates or who are running campaigns Indicate that there will be big petitions filed to attest popularity of the candidate. Experience here has shown that men who file big petitions regard the sine as something in their favor, as they consider a man signing a nominating petition more or less bound to the support of the candidate, and the petitions have in some cases been a battle roll of aspirants for nominations. Hence the man with tno largest petition considers that he Is in the best shape, although men who filed big petitions two years ago found that the signing of a petition was ap parently not regarded as an obligation to vote that way. Some of the petitions filed are works of penmanship, but on most the name, occupation, residence and aspirations of a candidate are typewritten. The requirement of the date of signing is followed as carefully as the residence statement and tho affidavits required by the act of 1913 have been found In order on every petition submitted thus far. It is ex pected that there will be a tremendous rush of petitions in the week before April 21, when the time for filing ex pires. Judging from letters written to men active in Harrisburg fire companies, the greatest interest is being mani fested throughout the eastern counties and some of the central in the meeting of the State convention of the firemen in this city in the Fall. Some of the counties in the southern and south eastern portions will have representa tives of every company and dozens of the companies will send men to take part In the demonstration. The fire men have not met here for well nigh thirty years and are looking forward to enjoying the hospitality of the city and of seeing the Capitol. Just Speaking about the Capitol, it is worth while to note that not only have many members of fire companies In the State never seen the Capitol, but there are thousands of people not many miles away from us who have never beheld its beauties. Not long ago a prominent business man of Philadelphia had to come here on some matters and confessed that he had been in a dozen States and seen most of their capitols, but that he had never seen that of his own imperial commonwealth. This man remarked that there were probably hundreds of men as well situated as he who had never been to Harrisburg to see the Capitol yet "who knew every hotel in Atlantic City and were up on the best theaters in New York and could tell a lot about Boston, Baltimore and Wash ington. National Guardsmen in this city are making some tests with the landscape targets which are coming into general use Just now and which are destined to be Important factors in the rifle work of the State militia. These tar gets are small affairs of cardboard with bits of country shown. There are somo which show the ordinary type of cultivated countryside with windmills and big trees standing out. Where it catches tlio men is to be told to sight for a house or clump of tree*. As a whole the target presents a wide stretch of country and there is noth ing better to test out the men than the observation of details. An immense quantity of snow re mains along roads and in ravines within a few miles of the city's bor ders and people who have been out l'or automobile spins have been astonished at the amount of snow that has es caped the rays of the sun In the last ten days. These banks of snow indi cate how great the fall must have been because the snow has gone from fields. Some of the gullies along the Paxton creek valley are still full 01 snow and along the mountains there are many places where the hand of winter was laid heavily and where it will take warm weather to clear out The snow, say farmers, will cause the earth to be full of water and to assure good Mow from springs, while tho ground will be well watered for Spring. kW6LL'KnO Wn-P6GPI RT) —Ex-Congressman D.

HAFRISBURG TELEGRAPH BULL MOOSERS ABE GOING IT ALONE Dershem Will Not Get Any Help From Them, But Will Be Fought Good and Hard McCORMICK ON THE WING Going Up to Elk County to Add to the Joy of the Nation This Spring Bull Moosers of the Seventeenth congressional district have declined to fall for the scheme of friends of Con gressman Frank L. Dershem, of the Lewlsburg Democrat, who is in trouble, and instead of endorsing him as the machinists had hoped will run their OWB candidate. It Is probable that George W. Wagenseller, who achieved fame when the Roosevelt electors met here, will be boomed as the Washington party candidate. He is understood to have the blessing and consent of State Chairman A. Nevin Detrich. The Bull Moossers of the district, which is the home of Detrich, will name complete legislative candidates no matter how small the army may be. In Perry, W. C. Lebo, New Bloom- Held, Is being put forward, and in Snyder, J. F. Woodruff will be boosted. Detrich has candidates which h« will uncover in Franklin and Fulton coun ties, but he is having trouble to find them in Cumberland. The Harris burg Washington party men will have a meeting at their Mar ket street headquarters to-night to or ganize a city commit tee and will plan their Bull Moosers activities for the cam \\ ill Form a paign. Most of the Committee members of the county committee are backing Dr. ,T. H. Kreider for the congressional nomination and If there is any effort on the part of friends of Charles E. Landis to go after that dubious prize it has not shown up. The Bull Moosers will nave George L. Reed for one of their legislative candidates and might be willing to let Landis run for member too If he la good. In the county Lenker and Martin have things sewed up. Vance C. MoCormick, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor, will go into "the enemy's coun try" this week, as he plans to invade Elk county, the stronghold McOormlek of Senator J. K. P. Hall, Going Up to one of the men he has Elk County so sharply attacked. The former mayor will leave to-day and spend to-morrow in Clear field county, where there Is strong opposition to him, and then go into Elk and Cameron oil Wednesday, fol lowing up with tours to McKean, War ren and Erie counties. MoCormick is planning a series of visits to southern counties in April, the arrangements being now under way. He will be here on April 14, when the Democratic State committee meets, but whether any effort will be made to endorse him or not is not un covered. If it is attempted there will be a big row. President Wilson Is said to be watching the developments very closely and not to be a bit pleased at the doubtful outcome. Elated over the rousing receptions tendered to him on his tour of the western and central counties, Senator Penrose, who is per sonally campaigning Penrose Is the State in the inter- Going Out On ests of his candidacy Trail Again for re-election, said yesterday that ho would go Wednesday to Lock Haven. From Lock Haven he will follow an itinerary which will bring him before many Repub licans in that section of Pennsylvania. He will prob&bly 'return to Philadel phia late this week. Representative D. B. Ainey, of Mont rose, who Is opposing Senator Boies Penrose for the Republican senatorial nomination, in a statement given out last night answers queries relative to rumors o£ his withdrawal from the contest in view of the fact that J. Ben jamin Dlmmick, of Scranton, the other Republican opposing Senator Penrose, is but dividing the opposition to Pen rose. Mr. Ainey says Pennsylvania Republicans, in his opinion, are deter mined to return a Republican to the Senate. He is planning for a campaign tour that will take him into every sec tion of the State, and will wage an active campaign against both Penrose and Dimmlck. On March 26 he will speak at Dußois and on March 29 at Troy. He expects to announce other dates within a week. The Philadelphia Inquirer says to day on a subject of local interest: "Palmer-MeCormick boomers who have been led to believe that Secretary of the Navy JosephusS. Daniels would DuiiMs to interest himself in the Keep Out cause of their chieftains of the Row by speaking at a JefCer sunlan dinner to be held in Harrisburg on April 13 learned otherwise yesterday. "After his arrival here yesterday for the purpose of taking part in the cere monies attending the launching of tho dreadnought Oklahoma to-day Secre tary Daniels took occasion to remark that under no circumstances would he discuss factional fights. " 'lf it is my pleasure to speak in Pennsylvania at any time,' he said, 'I may speak of Democratic policies, but never factional polities'." With each succeeding day the light in the Democratic party in Pennsyl vania becomes more bitter and per sonal. Eugene C. Bonni wMl, erstwhile leader of the reorganization forces Bonniwell under the Palmer-McCor- Hits Vane© mick whip, predicted in a McCormlck speech at Johnstown, as reported by the. Pitts burgh Gazette-Times, that "if Vance McCormlck is nominated by the Demo crats of Pennsylvania he will not be elected Governor. He declared that McCormick made the statement in 1000 that he would not vote for Bryan because the latter was an anarchist, and said he has an affidavit to produce in proof of this. He said that the [ State organization, under McCormick I In 1913. betrayed Grim in the latter's campaign for the Superior Court. He declared that McCormick. as mayor of Harrisburg in 1905, vetoed an ordi nance passed by council to make the wages of the city laborers .$1.50 per day on the grounds that it was too much and there were plenty of men to be obtained at a lower price." l-in-bAßtiia&imft-p-iPTy- y&ARS- Aft-OfOU [From the Telegraph, March 23, 1864] lee Harts Rafting Largo quantities of ice have been floating down .the river to-day.

HOW IT KISELK By Winn Dinger There are some people in this town Who know what Woodrow meant When he told reporters how It feels To be a President. The Governor, Mayor and Councilinen On Saturday did eat With members of the Muzzle Club, Who once a year do meet. The muzzled took their muzzles off As they came through the door And then proceeded with each guest To gently mop the floor. The truth alone prevailed—no one On this occasion lied; The roasts were not confined to meats— Moro than the eggs were fried. And men in public office heard Some things of which the tint Was such that they would rather not See any placed in print. But, whether good or whother bad, 'Twas taken all In fun. And everyone was sorry when The joyous feast was done. BOOKS «nd eft Flu^aE Barnabettu, by Helen K. Martin, author of "Tillie: A Mennonite Maid," "The Crossways," etc. Mrs. Henry R. Martin's earlier books have proved 'ier the fortunate posses sor of two very valuable literary as sets: an unfailing gift of genuine, spontaneous humor; und the ability to handle dialect artistically without be coming unintelligible. And hor vivid | portrayal of the Pennsylvania Dutch life and character has done for an un familiar and singular people what Bay ard Taylor did for the r'riends, Irving for the Dutch, and Edward Eggloston for the Hoosiers of the Ohio Valley. Here is another story of these quAint folk, the heroine a firwer-like charm ing maiden, whose struggle for an edu cation against many odds, her blos soming and her finding of happiness remind the reader delightfully of "Til lie"—though Barnabetta has a touch of originality and modernity that make her a more piquant character. The contrast of the social'and col lege life of Mlddleton, and its reaction on Barnabetta's simplicity, against the narrow exacting conditions of Pennsyl vania Dutch lire Is skilfully done: and theri* is romance on every pagn. tor Barnkbetta's charm wins her lovers all along the way. 12m0., 389 pages.

"THE HANDWRITING ON Tin: WALL." Under this heading the National Li quor Dealers' Journal sounds an alarm 1 concerning the rapid growth through out the nation of a sentiment favor ing Nation-wide pprohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. That Journal comments as follows: "The prohibition fight henceforth will be Nation-wide and contemplates writing into the National Constitution a prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. To ac complish this result will require the ratification of thirty-six out ol' forty eight States of the Union. Of these, nine are already in line through State prohibition Mains, Kansas, North "Dakota, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Geor gia, Tennessee, Nortli Carolina, West Virginia. The last five have been ad ded within a period of six years, in addition to these there are eighteen States in which a major part of the people live In territory made dry by local option, and in which we may be assured prohibition sentiment pre dominates. • * 0 * "The most influential argument against prohibition is that It is not ef fective, that prohibition does not pro hibit. This is not basic or moral; the fact of the failure to enforce Is no argument against even expediency, much less against the moral issue in volved. Ultimately all questions mustl be settled by moral standards; only in this way can mankind bo saved from self-effacement. Tho liquor traffic cannot save itself by declaring that Government is incapable of coping with" the problem It presents; when the people decide it must go, it will bo banished. * • » * "For this the liquor business is to blame; It seems incapable of learning any lesson of advancement or any motive but profit. To perpetuate It self it has formed alliances with the slums that repel all conscientious and patriotic citizens. It.- deliberately aids the most corrupt political powers, and backs with all of its resources the most unworthy men, the most corrupt and recreant officials. It does not aid the purification of municipal, State or National administration. Why? Be cause it has to ask immunity for its own lawlessness. • • * « "The case of the liquor traffic is called for adjudication by the Ameri can people and it must be ready for trial. Other cases may be called I later but the one before the court can not be postponed. » • • • There are billions of property involved; • • • • but when the people decide that the truth is being told about the alcoholic liquor trade the money value will not count, for conscience aroused puts the value of man above all other things." 1 EDITORIAL COMMENTI Slip la and Out Umtea [From the Washington Star.] The excitement elsewhere is bo great that admirtstratlons in Haiti may come and go unnoted.
