THE HOUSING CONFERENCE
THE State Housing Association's
conference in Harrisburg this
week is both timely and impor
tant. The period of carelessness
and wastefulness that permitted the
rental of dirty, unsanitary, inadequate
buildings for the housing of the poor
is almost past. The efforts of the
housing association for the elimination
of the slum are in harmony with those
of almost every city and town in the
Commonwealth.
As part and parcel of the new spirit '
that is developing along social welfare 1
lines is this better housing movement 1
We have come to understand that an :
unsanitary dwelling cannot long be 1
made to house an efficient workman.
We have been shown that the slum 1
casts its shadow far beyond its own
sordid precincts. It is a breeder of
disease and fosters the social evil and :
crime of all sorts. Man is largely a
creature of his environments and the
crowded tenement demands its toll of 1
charity and taxation from the com
munity in a measure that scarcely can
be realized without a careful and
painstaking study of the situation.
We in Harrisbtirg are improving
conditions mightily, but we have still
a long way to go before we can set
ourselves up as an example along this
line. The wiping out of the old Mul
berry street district and that imme
diately adjoining, where the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company proposes to
construct its new freight depot and
yards, will give real estate developers
opportunity to provide better buildings
elsewhere for those who have been
compelled to seek other homes. The
ripping out of that district, the
Capitol extension section of the older
part of the Eighth ward, offers an
other line opportunity for improve
ments which builders have not been
slow to accept.
Generally speaking, even our small
est houses are now equipped with con
veniences that were unknown in many j
very pretentious houses a decade or'
two ago. Hot and cold water, Inside
plumbing, gas, electricity, heating sys
tems and bathrooms are included in
t.he equipment of almost every house
now built. Indeed, it is difficult to
rent a house that does not now have
these improvements. In this Harris
burg is far ahead of some cities of
much larger population, and that this
is so is largely due to the very reason
able water rate our people enjoy—a
rate so low that water may be used
from as many openings as the builder
thinks proper to provide and in almost
unlimited quantities.
But there still remain districts of
which we are not only not proud but
of which we are heartily ashamed.
The time must come, and at no distant
date, when State laws will forbid the
renting for residence purposes of!
buildings on which the local health
boards have placed their stamp of dis
approval.
Carnegio has pensioned the keepers
of the New York Zoo. Did we hear
somebody suggest that the Steel King
may be in danger of making a monkey
of himself?
WILSON'S INCONSISTENCY
EITHER President Wilson was
mistaken when he said that the
tariff reductions would result in
lower prices for the consumer
or he is wrong in his Panama canal
tolls argument.
When the tariff bill was passed the
President said that the removal of du
ties would result in a corresponding
reduction of the retail prices of goods
brought into the country under the
new law. It was contended by Re
publicans that the persons to receive
most of the benefits would be the
foreign manufacturer and the im
porter. The Republicans held that
while under the Underwood tariff
cheap foreign goods would flood the
markets to the injury of home-made
products, there would be little or no
reduction In price. The President's
views were exactly the opposite.
Now he calmly tells us that the
difference between Panama canal
rates with American shipping passing
through the big ditch free would not
effect prices: that if the shippers have
to pay the tolls he proposes for them
Uioy will charge the consumer no
MONDAY EVENING,
more for the goods than they would
Jif they were transported free.
Either the President is wrong in his
tariff views or right in his canal views,
but with true Wllsonian inconsistency
he persists in trying to make the coun
try believe ho is right in both.
ARBOR I>AY
GOVERNOR TENER HAS AXED
the dates of the Spring arbor
days by official proclamation,
and they should be observed
throughout the length and breadth of
the State. Every one who plants a tree
and gives it opportunity to grow is a
conservationist. We hear much of
conservation these days. It is a big
word and has been made to cover a
great many selfish aspirations for po
litical preferment. But in its last
analysis—although you may not find
the word in your dictionary—conser
vationist means one who not only re
frains from willful wastefulness of our
natural resources, but who helps to
restore them. So he who plants a tree
juid tends it is a conservationist in the
"best meaning of the term.
The love of trees is inherent. Rider
Haggard put the thought most beauti
fully when he said:
I do love a good tree. There it
stands, so stronp* and sturdy and j
yet so beautiful, a very type of the r
iiest sort of man. How proudly It
lifts its bare head to winter storms,
and with what a full heart it re
joices when the Spring has come
again! How grand its voice is, too,
when it talks with the wind! A
thousand aeolian harps' cannot
equal the beauty of the sighing of a
great tree in leaf. All day it points
to the sunshine and all night to the
stars. and thus, passion'ess and yet
full of life, it endures through the
centuries, come storm, come shine,
drawing its sustenance from the
bosom of Its mother earth.
Plant a tree on arbor day and watch
it grow. There is little more pure
enjoyment in anything than to ob
serve the development of the tree or
plant which your own hands have
given opportunity for life and expan
sion.
PASTE THEM IN YOUR HAT
IN Fitchburg, Mass.. the school board
has solved the problem of manual
training in a cheap and effective
way, having high school boys at
tend alternate weeks in school and the
shop of some manufacturer willing to
co-operate with the authorities by giv
ing the students actual experience with
tools. This is an admirable arrange
ment for a community that cannot
afford a technical high school, but far |
more important and interesting are
the rules that have been formulated
for the student apprentices. So ex
cellent are they that they ought to be
pasted in the hat of every high school
and college graduate. In their essen
tials they apply to every beginner, but
particularly to the lad fresh from
study who is inclined to believe that
his "sheepskin," instead of being a
badge of apprenticeship, is a mark of
superiority. The Telegraph would like
all its young readers to clip this code
for future reference. Here it is:
Remember that the object of
work is production. Your foreman
measures you by the quantity and
quality of your work. Social posi
tion does not enter. In the shop
you are not a high school boy, you
are an apprentice. Wear clothes
accordingly. If you get the mis
taken idea that any work given you
is beneath the dignity of a high
school boy, just remember you are
an apprentice and get 100 per cent,
busy.
It Is YOUR business to get along
smoothly with the workmen and
foreman; and THEIRS to get along
with you.
DO NOT EXPECT any personal
attention from the superintendent.
He will probably ignore you en
tirely, but he knows whether or
not you are making good, and in
most cases, his idea of you depends
upon your ability to please your
foreman. I>on't be a kicker and
don't continually bother your fore
man for higher wages. x
NEVER try to conceal defectlvo
work. Take your full measure of
blame, and do not make the same
mistake twice.
Watch. In a quiet way, what things
are being done around you, and
don't he afraid to ask SENSIBLE
! questions. A good rule is to think
over a question twice before ask
. ing. A reputation for having
"HORSE SENSE" means that vou
are making good.
FOREMEN and WORKMEN will
take pleasure in showing vou, if
you show yourself genulne'lv ap
preciative of little attentions. If
they tell you something you alreadv
know, don't spoil their pleasure by
telling them you already know it,
but let It be Impressed on your
mind all the deeper; for the con
versation may lead to something
which is entirely new to you.
The apprentice who follows those
rules will find himself a superintend
ent somo day. There never was a
general in the world that, was not first
a good soldier in the ranks, and there
never was an efficient foreman who
was not in the first place a good
apprentice.
THROWING DUST
CONGRESSMAN PALMER is try
ing to find some excuse for the
sale of postmasterships in Penn
sylvania by the State committee
of the re-organized Democracy. The
best he has been able to do is to tell
the public—"Well, the Republicans
did the same when they were in
power."
How false this is Palmer himself wel/
knows, but if there had been any truth
in it Palmer would have been a party
to the crime by keeping quiet about it.
If Republicans sold a single postmas
tership since Palmer has been in Con
gress and Palmer knew of it—as he
now says he did—then Palmer is as
guilty as the man who sold the job
But isn't it foolish to think that if
the White House candidate for Sena
tor had any such knowledge he would
have kept quiet about it while he went
up and down the country crying out
against what he charged was corrup
tion In the Republican party? Why;
his whole stock in trade has been a
plea for '"Democratic purity" as
against what he has chosen to term
"Republican unfaithfulness to public
trust."
The truth of the matter is that Pal
mer has been caught with his fingers
in the Jam Jar and. like the pickpocket
in the crowd, he Is crying, "thief,
thief," hoping that In the excitement
the public may look elsewhere for the
offender.
AN EVENING THOUGHT
No man is poor who does not
thinlt himself s<>.—Jeremy Taylor.
I EVENING. CHAT I
The lute Maurice C. Eby, who was
perhaps known to most of his fellow
citizens as a former mayor or as a
vigilant volunteer officer of the So
ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals. was one of the most ardent ad
mirers of the scenic surroundings of
this city, or rather to put it more liter
ally, of the beautiful river on whose
banks he was born and spent his life.
Mr. Eby was very strong in his devo
tion to his native State and was keen
ly interested in the movement which
has become so strong for the giving
of Pennsylvania its proper place in
American history. When abroad he
always made it a point to talk of the
Keystone State to those whom he met
and his next step was to tell of the
beauties of the Susquehanna. On his
return from a trip to England he told
of how he had silenced an enthusiastic
man from the Rhine provinces. This
man had met him in one of the Eng
lish shires and began to talk about
the splendors of the river of the Fath
erland. "I let him go as long as I
could and told him X did not think
that some of the rivers of Europe
could touch the river that tlowed by
my home," said Mr. Eby. "Ho was
polite about it, but doubtful. I told
him about the Kockville gap and of
the valley Just above it, but he insist
ed they could not compare with rivers
of Germany. That evening I found
in my baggage some books with pic
tures of Harrisburg and the Susque
hanna. The next day I showed the
photograph of the gap and after he
had admired it exceedingly, thinking
it a European view. I told him I could
sec that scenery from my home." Mr.
Eby related how on another occasion
ho had discussed the revolution with
a man from New England, one of the
kind that thinks the Hudson bounds
enlightenment. This man was telling
how New England had fought the
Revolution. "I let him go on and he
told me how New England had been
the battle ground," said Mr. Eby.
"And then I told him Pennsylvania! ;
had furnished the stiffest of the light- j'
ers for it." Sir. Eby's interest in ani
mals was well' known .and on a cold 1
morning, especially a market morn
ing he would go along the streets and
spend live or ten minutes hunting up j
the owner of a horse which had not!
been blanketed. He caused conster- i
nation by walking into a saloon one I
day when he was mayor because some j 1
one told him that a farmer had been I
inside for an hour and left his horse j
shivering in a snowstorm. The man j
at the bar very quickly pointed out the |
owner of the horse but the farmer was j
not so speedy in recognition of the!
demand that he blanket the horse. He]
asked for some authority for the or-j
der and the barkeeper whispered that
it was the mayor. "Mayor? Where's!
his badge?" demanded the rustic. Mr. j
Eby wore a badge as an officer of the:
S. P. C. A. and promptly displayed It.'
The man did not blanket the horse. .
He drove away. -
The death of Mr. Eby leaves only
five former mayors of the city. They
are Samuel W. Fleming, who served
after the death of S. C. Wilson; Dr.
John A. Fritchey, Vance C. McCor-1
mick, Edward Z. Gross and Dr. Ezra,
S. Meals.
Bishop Earl Cranston, who presided j
at the recent session of the Central |
Pennsylvania Methodist conference In I
Grace Church, has been doing some I
characteristically plain talking at the
meetings of the Wilmington confer-1
ence which have been #h progress at |
Berlin, Maryland. The bishop said the
other day in addressing a class of new
ministers -that the teaching of eugen
ics is the natural consequence of an
effort to substitute scientific theology
for genuine heart religion. The bishop I
said that he did not believe in teach
ing what is called eugenics in the
schools, saying "It is not necessary to
teach the children how and why they
are here. It is enough to make them
realize that they are forever indebted
ed to God for being born with per
fect healthy bodies, alive physically
and alive intellectually."
A group of people were going home
in a car the other afternoon and near
ly everyone was either sucking or
nursing scratches on the hands anil
wrists. Some of them had swathed
hands in handkerchiefs and all look
ed as though they had been in a
clawing contest. A man happening in
asked one of the group whom he knew
the cause of the carnage. "Bargain
day in lose bushes. You got what you
grabbed" was the reply. And the rest
nodded.

CANAL TOLLS IN" THE SENATE
[Philadelphia Bulletin.]
The fate of the canal tolls exemp
tion repealer now rests with the Sen
ate, where, in the course of a debate
which is expected to continue for six
, weeks or two months, It is to be hoped
'that the air may be cleared of parti
sanship or other ulterior consid
erations and the merit of the bill as
an act consistent with national honor
and dignity may be more fearlessly
1 considered.
If the amendment shall finally be
passed, It is not necessary or desirable
that it shall become law In the iden
' tical language which the House has
• approved. If there is a shadow of
, doubt as to the right of the United
States to use the canal with perfect
J freedom for its own naval fleet, or its
revenue service, the language of the
[ bill should be made so explicit that
there can be no future dispute on that
point. And if there is precedent in
I this concession for further demands
t on the part of foreign governments
t interfering with our national Jurisdic
tion over the canal and its zone, the
■ opening for such action should be
stopped in definite terms.
In the final enactment there should
be no suggestion that the United
* States is yielding any right upon for
i eign demand. In the course of the
, Senate debate there will be oppor
tunity—which should be improved—
for a clearer statement of the Presl
- dent's ground in asking for this legis
-3 lation, whether he Is standing on prin
ciple or shifting ground for ex
-1 pedlency. The question o! tolls or
, exemption Is relatively immaterial, but
t the motive which inspires our national
policy and the manner In which we
5 go about It are of the gravest impor
tance. Up to date the principal argu
ment for the repeal of the exemption
clause, as directed and inspired from
the executive offices, has been such
as to humiliate the nation, rather
than to summon It to the higher stand
ards of national honor and dignity.

ship—Ledger Says Palmer
Is Up Against It
Democratic reorganization chief
tains are depending on the meeting of
the Democratic State committee and
the Jefferson Day dinner of the Cen

revive their strength, and efforts are
being made to turn both occasions

burg Democrats are insisting that fac
tionalism be kept out of the dinner
and State Democrats are fearful of a
split in the State committee if an at

endorsing McCormick is made.
The machine Democrats suffered a
severe blow at WHliamsport on Sat
urday, when Andrew G. Miller, con
spicuous as a reorganization faction

Hugh Gilmore, was defeated for coun
ty chairman by Harris A. Spotts by

Gilmore for secretary. Walter E. Hit

man, declared Miller was the candi

tion and that his defeat was "the i

State's biggest independent news
paper, declares that Palmer is in
trouble in his own dis
trict in*an article writ-

Show Ixjss who surveyed the dis
trict. The Ledger says
in part: "A Mitchell
Palmer's leadership in Democratic
politics is bitterly contested in his own
district, the Twenty-sixth Pennsylva
nia, which comprises Carbon, Monroe,
Northampton and Piku counties. In
fact so strong has become the oppo
sition to his autocratic leadership that
the anti-Palmerites may win the nom
ination ol their congressional candi
date to succeed Mr. Palmer. Condi
tions also have arisen which even
point to a defeat for Mr. Palmer in his
own district in the senatorial pri
maries.
"A representative of the Public'
Ledger Interviewed scores of Demo-1
crats in Mr. Palmer's district. Ho
failed to find any great sentiment in
favor of Vance C. McCormick for
Governor. Everything was Ryan in
Northampton and Monroe."
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh papers
are giving considerable attention to
enrollment matters these days, calling
attention to the fact
that the tale will be
told on April 15 and Knrollment

istration will be in Be Immense
order. It is estimated
that Philadelphia will
enroll between 150,000 and 160,000
Republicans and Allegheny 60,-
000. The Democratic enrollment,
due to the scrap between Ryan
and McCormick, will be larger
than ordinary because of eager-1
ness to take 1 a whack at one or the
other of the candidates, which is being
so strongly manifested in the party.
AVilliam Fllnn says he does not care
what the enrollment Is because Roose

of enrollment as compared to presi

THE ItKIGN OF POLITICS
[From the Philadelphia Press.]
Just before his inauguration as Presi
dent, Mr. Wilson resigned tho office of
vice-president of the National Civil
Service Reform Association, a position
which he had long hold, and an organi
zation of which he had been an active
and oratorical member. Apparently he
also resigned his former ideas upon tho
subject of merit appointments in the
civil service. His actions as President
have certainly spoken very vociferous
ly In favor of tho system of political
spoils.
