THE KREIDER HILT,
THE unqualified endorsement by
the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral and Postmaster Sites of the
Kreider bill for the further enlarge
ment of the Harrisburg Post Office
chows how well Congressman Kreider
estimated the postal needs of this city
when he presented his measure for
the appropriation of $75,000 additional
for the work of remodeling the local
Federal bulling.
• Congressman Kreider made a per
sonal Inspection of the plans drawn
for the improvement of the Post Office
and at once came to the conclusion
that even with the Increase of floor
space for which they provided the
postal forces here would be crippled
for room, the parcel post having added
greatly to the burden of mail matter
handled in Harrisburg. Taking up
the question with Postmaster Sites he
confirmed his own estimates and the
bill for an additional appropriation i.s
the result.
It is altogether likely that the
Kreider bill will be passed at an early
date. It Is hard to see how Congress
could do otherwise, with the proof of
the necessity of the appropriation so
apparent and endorsement at hand
from such authoritative sources. It
would be wasteful to spend $125,000
of government money for a mere
makeshift, when an additional $75,000
will give the city a Federal building
adequate for Its needs for many years.
A Pittsburgh thief stole a whole
wagonload of eggs. Talk about your
get-rlch-quick schemes!
THE PRESIDENT AND "GAG" RULE
STUBBORN to the point of bull
headedness at home, spineless
as an oyster abroad, President
Wilson has assumed the peculiar
position of autocratic dictator at
Washington and of a truckling, boot
licking Uriah Heap in his dealings
with foreign nations. He makes the
Democratic platform his fetish when
it suits him and rides roughshod over
it when England cracks the whip.
"I was elected on the Democratic
platform,'' he told the suffragists
when they asked him to support their
cause In Washington, "and I cannot
recommend such a law because there
is no mention of it in that platform."
A few weeks later we find him, at the
behest of England and for reasons
which he will not make public, at
tempting to "boss" Congress into re
pudiating a Democratic platform
pledge.
What, we ask, may we not expect
from such a man, and how far Is he to
be trusted?
As a candidate we'heard him crying
from the housetops against what he
chose to term "Cannonism" In Con
gress, and yesterday we saw him force
on the House a "gag" rule of the very
kind he condemned so loudly when he
■was an officeseeker; a "gag" rule that
not even such teretofore subservient
I followers as Underwood and Clark
could support.
Bearing in mind the united front of
the Democratic party following the
Inauguration of President Wilson and
the readiness of Underwood and Clark
to carry - out White House orders, the
revolt of these two men and their fol
lowers is all the more remarkable.
Very politely and indirectly both Clark
and Underwood took the President
severely to task yesterday whpn he
•et to work to "gag'' Representatives
against the utterance of things not
pleasant to presidential ears. The
"gag" rule was purely a Wilson rule,
and here Is what Speaker Clark said
of It: "You are making a serious
mistake if you adopt this rule, and I
would not be worthy of the commis
sion you have given me as leader if 1
did not have the courage to stand
here and say so."
Anybody familiar with the manner
In which the Wilson Administration
treats those who oppose its pet poli
cies will agree with the Speaker that
It did require some courage for him
to stand "up In the House and attack
the President.
And this from L'ndenvood. first lieu
tenant to the President and leader on
the door of the House. "Our whole
difficulty arises from the un-American
. spirit of surrender that some of OUR.
SATURDAY EVENING,
OWN people have exhibited." Plainly
referring to the President as un
| American.
By the small majority of thirty-one
voteß the President won the opening
round and forced his "gag" rule on
the House. Already he is preparing
to punish those who hdd the temerity
to oppose him. Administration men
are saying that he will depose Under*
I wood as leader and will have his own
; candidate for Speaker if the next
House i 3 Democratic.
IF—that is the big question just
i now. Are we through with constant
i truckling and shin-scraping to for
eign governments? Have we had
! enough of seeing our own business
and working people kicked In the face
every time they appeal in Washing
ton with a protest against some un-
American law? Is there going to be
another Democratic House?
We think not. Underwood and
Clark have little to fear at the hands
of the President-. He will be shorn of
considerable of his power to retaliate
before another session op'na, unless
all signs fail.
DR. DIXON'S TALKS
ONE of the least spectacular but
most useful of the many goo!
works of the State Health De
partment Is the weekly health
talk Dr. Dixon has been issuing re
cently for newspaper publication.
For years past the pages of daily
papers have been crowded with ad
vertisements offering cures for dis
ease. Physicians have made fortunes
bringing patients back to health. Spe
cialists spend years in the study of
obscure ailments. All this is vitally
necessary lor the relief of the suffer
ing, but in the eyes of the most ad
vanced thinkers along medical lines,
the great mission of the physician is
to prevent disease. Dr. Dixon is put
ting this idea into very effective prac-
using the great prestige of hts
office to procure the publication of
the articles he so carefully prepares.
How to keep well, not how to get
well, is the theme of his "talks" and
every one of them ought to be in the
scrapbook of the man who gives ser
ious thought to his physical condition.
HIGH TARIFF AND HIGH PRICKS
WE very much fear that what
our Democratic friends love
to term the "pernicious in
fluences of the protective
tariff," in some mysterious manner,
must have been transferred from the
United States to Great Britain. At all
events the "high cost of living" is not
the least of the troubles now confront
ing the very much harassed English
government, and since what corres
ponds to the Democratic party in
Britain has no high tariff of its own
on which to lay the blame, we must
conclude that somehow or other our
own burden of tariff taxation must
have been tossed clear across the At
lantic when President Wilson played
football with our long-established
business policies.
We are impelled to these ob
servations by the following news item
appearing in a recent issue of the
London Times:
A conference was held at Toyn
beo Hall, on Saturday, to consider
the increased cost of living and the
question of a legal standard of
quality for food. The meeting was
convened by the National Women's
Council of the British Socialist
Party and the Women's Industrial
Council, and eighteen societies and
organizations were represented.
Will Thome, M. P., presided in
the morning. Miss Margaretta
Hicks, secretary of the conference
committee, moved a resolution ad
vocating the establishment of a
maximum price for the necessaries
of life and a minimum wa«e for all
workers, and said that the retail
price in London of twentj'-three of
the principal foodstuffs. Including
bread, meat, bacon, butter and
eggs, had advanced 17.9 per cent,
between 1896 and 1910. Since then
the necessities of life had risen
considerably more. The latest
figures also showed a fall of five
shillings in the purchasing power
of £1 during the last seventeen
years. She advocated an organiza
tion of women as buyers, with
agents to call at their houses on the
lines of the provident clubs. If this
were done working women. Instead
of trusts, would control the mar
kets. The resolution was carried.
We leave It to you. President Wil
son has assured us that the protective
tariff was the cause of high prices in
America. Free trade, he has told us,
is the remedy. England has free
trade and we no longer have a pro
tective tariff. Doesn't it strike you
that there is something fiendishly
mysterious about all this? Wouldn't
it be awful if it were found that a
Democratic tariff plot had been
hatched to "wish on England" the
devil of high prices so recently cast
out of the United States? The only
thing that troubles us In these logical
conclusions is that we have failed to
note any decrease in the cost of living
at home. Anyway, we feel sure our
Democratic friends will be able to find
some connection between high prices
and a high tariff in England.
THE IMMIGRANT
THE current issue of a widely-read
magazine complains becannc the
people of the United States rtrn
the newly-arrived Immigrant
toward the tasks the native-born does
not like to do—the hard manual labor
of our big enterprises and Industries.
And why not? Isn't It right that the
newcomer should do the kind of work
for which he Is best fitted? Isn't It
about time we cease to pity the for
eigner among us and learn to admire
him for his willingness to work and
his thrifty ways?
Granted the hard work and the low
wages, he Is still superior to th*
native-born In more than one respect.
For Instance, he knows how to live
within his income. The American
people owe a great deal to the aliens,
or those who quite recently have be
come naturalized, for lessons in thrift.
The average foreign-born citizen and
the average alien Is not a spendthrift,
in a single year the foreign-born
people of Massachusetts have sent
abroad, via one route, over $9,000,000.
In addition these same foreign-born
people have saved —deposited in banks
or elsewhere at home—other millions.
In this respect the old-time American
can afford to take off his hat to most
of the foreign-born, who are among
our most frugal people
It would bn hard lo say which are
the most thrifty. French and Italians
stand high in this matter. Thrift is
likewise characteristic of the Germans,
the Scandinavians and the Scotch, and
in countless instances It has rewarded
its possessors a thousand fold. Thesfc
people have learned that the tlrst
essential la acquiring the art of mak
ing money is to learn to save. Can
not native-born Americans leurn. tills
lesson from them?
In these days of electric motors and
gasoline engines wo don't very often
see a treadmill, but most persons know
pretty well what it Is—a moving in
clined platform geared up so that the
weight of the horses walking on it
turns the machinery.
The point about It is that the horses
never get anywhere, for all their hard
work.
How many persons are occupied in
Just the same way! They work hard
and they accomplish things for some
body else, but they never get any
where themselves. There are fow for
eigners in this class. Let's stop pity
ing our neighbors from abroad and
see if we cannot learn a few lessons
from them.
EVENING CHAT 1
Two hundred and fifty of the 550
buildings in the forty-one blocks of
the area to be added to Capitol Park
have been demolished or are prac
tically out of the way and within a
week the demolition of fifty-seven
more will be started. The State Is
selling the buildings for the material
they contain, the buyers being re
quired to remove everything above
ground and to take away three feet of
cellar walls. Only such buildings as
can serve the State for offices, storage,
garages and similar uses are being re
tained. It is the belief that by the
end of the year all of the buildings
on the 340 properties to which the
State has title, except, of course, those
in use, will be removed. Properties
are being acquired by the State almost
daily and two churches have lately
been taken over. It is probable that
the next Legislature will be asked to
take some steps to provide for a study
of the park and the extension from a
landscape standpoint so that when the
properties are acquired in 1916 the
State will be in shape to go ahead
with development. The park as It
stands at present Is unfinished, the
stoppage of work on the grounds in
1905, when it was found that the Capi
tol was costing far more than ex
pected, having caused some parts of
it to remain unfinished. Plans for
driveways and walks and for a new
entrance at State street in place of
the unimposing sandstone steps have
been prepared for some time, but it
has been deemed best to await the
time when the planning of the whole
park can be undertaken and the best
results obtained.
Pennsylvania is now going to buy
its roadmaking materials in bulk and
get the advantage of large purchases
at a fixed price and arrange for de
livery afterward. Bids have been
aslced for as much asphalt as the
State will need and the same plan is
to be followed with other materials.
It is expected that a considerable sav
ing will be made. The State did that
when it bought machinery a few years
ago.
Mayor Joseph Cauffiel, of Johns
town, who was here recently and who
has upon several occasions mado in
quiries about matters in this city, has
started a move to have the Flood City
own its own water works. He has
studied water plans in several cities,
including Harrisburg. and is convinced
that the city plan is fhe best. He
faces a big light In his city, as the
plant In that section is a big affair
and will cost a lot of money.
The area way between the Court
house anil the Commonwealth Trust
Company building, which has been re
ferred to upon several occasions as a
canyon because the sun shines Into it
only a couple of hours a day. Is hold
ing up its reputation. The pavep>nt
in the section closest to the Post Ofiice
has several piles of snow, which havo
been there for weeks. Thev are cov
ered with dirt, but it is snow all right.
The south side of Derry street neai
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets also
has snow piles as reminders of the
blizzard.
"Get your sassafras. This is the
time to make tea and to drink It,"
sung out a farmer in the Chestnut
street market this morning. "I'm sell
ing a lot of the bark. This bark Is
the real biting kind, the kind that
makes the tea that clears your sys
tem. You'd be surprised at the num
ber of people who take sassafras tea
every year. There's lots of 'em and
It's a great thing for the liver."
These tine days have caused a reg
ular rush on the Public Library and
It is expected that the March book
service report will make a fine show
ing. The attendance of children has
been very large and the juvenile book
department looks as though a raid
had been made upon it. The library
Is reallv suffering from too much pat
ronage. Its stock of books has been
worked and worked hard.

ENROLLMENT IS
VEBV WIRING
Indications Are That Republicans
Have Gamed All Along the
Lines in the State
DEMOCRATS KEEP QUIET
Have Very Little to Say About the
Disclosures Anent the York
Post Offices
Republicans are shown to be com
ing back into their own as the en
rollment figures for this Spring are
being scanned In tho various counties
and it is expected that the Spring
registration In the thirty cities of the
State net month will demonstrate a
big gain for the Republicans.
In Schuylkill county, which was
red hot Bull Moose in 1912. the Wash
ington party has enrolled but 1,486
voters, while tho Republicans have
enrolled 13.265. The Democrats, be
cause of the row In their party, have
enrolled more than usual, the total
being 13,963. In many places the Re
publican gain has been strikingly
large, especially in the boroughs.
Returns of the assessors for tho
Spring enrollment of voters In Clear-
Held county Indicate that tho Repub
licans are coining back into their own
and that a lot of voters are not indi
cating to which party they belong.
The total enrollment for the county is:
Republicans, 6,471; Democrats, 6,141;
Washington, 1,527; Socialists, 1,252;
Prohibitionists, 419. The number en
rolled without Indicating the political
party preference was 3,201.
Fayette county makes the banner
showing. In 1912 there were 4,168
Republican voteß cast. This year
11.524 Republicans enrolled. The en
rollment of the Washington party is
but 696 against a vote of 4,257 in
1912. The Democrats polled a vote
of 7,363 In 1912, but thiß year their
enrollment is but 5.177 in spite ot' tre
mendous efforts to get men enrolled
because of tho primaries and to get
Bull Moosers to join the ranks of the
Democrats. The Socialists polled
2,462 votes in this county in 1912 and
have enrolled but 833 this year. The
total Republican enrollment tills year
is 1.545 more than the enrollment of
all other parties.
The Philadelphia Ledger of to-day
says: "Enough returns have been re
ceived in the counties from the en
rollment of voters on
March 17 and IS to

OKI Parties gains over last year. The
arc Gainers Democrats were also
very busy on enrollment
day and brought out
their followers in huge numbers so as
to be prepared for the Ryan-McCor
mick contest. The heavy loser was
the Washington party, and in some
counties changes from the Bull Moose
and Washington parties to the Repub
lican were by hundreds. In the an
thracite regions AVashington party
men who strayed from the Demo
cratic fold went back to their first
allegiance." •

The name of A. E. Sisson, formei

In this section Frank B. McClain. for

friends are very active in his behalf in
this part of the State.
Advice to lay low until th© cyclone

connected with the Democratic ma
chine and nothing will
be done about the scan
dals turned up by the Keep Quiet
Philadelphia Ledger Advice is
over the York county Passed Out
post offices. People con
nected with tho machine
are inclined to resent designation of
Wilson Bailey as a bagman and to
take the attitude that there was noth.
ing wrong. Of course, had it hap
pened that Republicans were mixed
up in the affair, it would have been
something awful. The men on' thb
Wilson slate are insisting that they are
the only champions of the people and
are ignoring a good bit that is being
said. This policy will be followed in
the York matter.
The Ryan men appear to have
fallen down in their move to get
someone to stand as a candidate
against Palmer for the
Democratic senatorial
Palmer's nomination and three of
Opponent the four men mentioned

declared that they woulo
not consider the matter. Ex-Attorney
General W. U. Hensel said last night
that, he would not consider it: Judge
C. B. Staples said he would not be
Ryan's candidate, and Henrj» O. Niles,
the .York insurgent, said there was
nothing doing. This leaves Judge John
M. Garman, of Wilkes-Barre. The
judge has been talked of a good many
times in that connection and he would
not mind the campaign a bit.
Dauphin county Bull Moosers who
are saddened at the small enrollment
of voters under the party banner aro
somewhat in doubt these
days about what to do in
connection with the guber
natorial fight. Judge C. N. Dauphin
Brumin has many partisans Moosest
in this city and he will poll Unhappy
a large percentage of the
party vote, but there are
some who cling to Lewis because they
think that Flinn is for him, and beside
they hear of Plnchot and Lewis on
the same platform, and that makes
them look on the Philadelphia man
with kindly eyes. However, if FUnn
does not unbelt and Pinchot keeps his
purse strings tight, some of them are
just as likely to go for Brumm and to
make a noise about it. The Dauphin
MooserS are not enthusiastic over

THE GREAT RECONCILIATION
fFrom the Washington Post.]
Tho results of great celebrations like
the one held last summer at Gettys
burg between the Blue and the Gray
usually are intangible. Something
quickens in the spirit, something
springs to consciousness in the mind,
something wells in the heart, leaving
no outward sign, but making life better
and finer.
Major Normoyle's report on the Get
tysburg celebration has just come to
light in one of the service magazines,
and it comments upon tho results of
tho great meeting between the veter
ans of the North and tho South. The
major, who was the quartermaster in
charge of the preparations for the
great encampment remarks:
"The most tangible result of this cele
bration was the happiness that it gave
to the 65,000 veterans who were able,
In their declining years, to meet to
gether as brothers amid peace and
prosperity, where fifty years earlier
they !iad fought each other surrounded
by wounded and dying comrades. While
it may be true that time has done much
to wipe out the resentment to which the
war gave birth. It remained for the
Gettysburg reunion to make the recon
cilllation complete."
Better still, as Major Normoyle sug
gests. the reunion taught the younger
generation of Americans to venerate
the soldlerß of the Civil War, regard
less of the color of their uniforms, far
more deeply than they have ever done
In the past.
Secretary of War Garrison, in ex
pressing his appreciation of the man
ner in which Major Normoyle handled
the encampment, pointed out that the
encampment at one time reached a
total of 66,000. There they were—the
men who had fought so bitterly against'
each other In the war, now locked in
each other's arms, laughing or weep
ing over the scenes that had been so
real and vital, bathed now in sunshine
instead of blood.
What a picture that was at Gettys
burg: Great masters have caught
something of the spirit of war in their
paintings, but the spirit of glorious
reconcilliation which radiated from
Gettysburg last summer could never
be put upon canvas.
