CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
IN the selection of B. F. Umberger,
Edwin S. Herman, George A.
Shrelner, George W. Reily and
Francis J. Hall for the new City
Planning Commission the Superinten
dent of Parks and City Property, Mr.
Taylor, and his colleagues of the City
JCotincU have done admirably. Each
j of tho live chosen for tills department
is qualified for the important work
of the commission and without ex
ception all have been active in the
various movements for the upbuilding
and betterment of Harrisburg. Mani
festly the choosing of those who will
organize this new department and out
line its policies has been done with
painstaking care. There can be no
reasonable criticism and tho tentative
announcement of tho names yesterday
pending formal action by the City
Council this afternoon was followed
by instant public approval.
Men of high character, acquainted
with the needs of the city, possessed
of fine public spirit and of broad and
liberal views, this quintet of planners
will have tho confidence and support
of the entire community. They are
certain to give the City Council in
valuable assistance and in co-opera
tion with the municipal officials the
fundamental features of a great city
will be developed harmoniously.
Harrisburg has been singularly for
tunate in the character of the men
who have given so unstintedly of their
time, energy and ability to the mak
ing of an attractive and healthy city
as members of the several boards and
commissions. For this reason there
will be general satisfaction through
out;; the city over the fact that
same high-class service is to be main
tained.
Under the act of Assembly ap- 1
proved by Governor Tener lust July
the new commission serves without
compensation, but may employ engi
neers and other persons, whose neces
sary expense shall be provided for
through a proper appropriation by
Council. Perhaps its most useful func
tion will be the control that shall here
after be exercised over the territory
adjacent to the city for three miles
beyond the boundary line, and which |
.iu-'sdictlon will prevent hodge-podge!
development and plotting of building I
lots out of harmony with the city j
plan. Maps will be prepared show- \
ing street lines and grades so that the
suburban districts may be built on the
right lines. All plots of ground laid
out in building lots and the streets
intended to be dedicated to public use
shall first be submitted to the com
mission and approved by it before be
ing recorded.
There has been no more important
step since the first public improvement
campaign ol" lOOi than the creation of
this planning department and the City
Council is deserving of great credit
for the discriminating and intelligent
judgment shown in the choice of the
five persons who will have charge.
With a progressive and public-spirited
planning commission, Harrisburg
should enter upon another era of its
development. We have now reached
that stage of growth where there must
be a broad vision of the future, em
bracing the proper location of public
buildings, the planning of streets,
boulevards and parks, and a definite
scheme of expansion which will make
the Harrisburg of the coming years an
even more beautiful and inviting city.
DEMOCRATIC TROUBLES
TROUBLES for the Democratic
party are coming thick and
fast. Not satisfied with the over
turn of business and the de
struction of confidence throughout the
country, President Wilson is now in
sisting in his arbitrary fashion upon
going ahead with more theoretical
trust legislation which can have no
other effect than the breaking down
of what little hope was left of a re
habilitation of tho elements which go
to make up the prosperity of the na
tion.
Then comes the awful blow between
tin fcyes from the Democratic chair
man of the House committee on ap
propriations. who declares that the
extravagance and waste ol' the Demo
cratic Congress is sickening and must
result in driving his parly from power.
WEDNESDAY EVENING
Air. Fitzgerald is said to bo the most,
painstaking and industrious man who
has ever served us chairman of the
most important committee of Congress
and has a wonderful mastery of the
facts and figures which are associated
with the preparation of the great ap
propriation measures. His statement
regarding Democratic profligacy, the
breaking down of platform pledges
and the utter indifference insofar as
keeping good faith with the people
has made a tremendous impression
throughout the country.
In the face of these things it is go
ing to be a mighty difficult proposi
tion for the Palmer-McCormick junta
in this State to convince any consider
able number of voters that they—the
slated favorites of the President—
should have control of the State ad
ministration and a voice in the United
States Senate.
Bepublicans of whatever name, stal
warts and progressives, are determined
as they have not been determined for
almost a generation to restore the
government to the hands of men who
are sufficiently experienced and suffi
ciently broad to establish upon Arm
foundations once more the prosperity
of the people.
Perhaps nothing has so seriously in
jured the prospects of further Demo
cratic success as the flagrant viola
tion of solemn pledges and the ap
parent disregard of the ordinary ob
ligations of the party in power to ful
fill the promises of a campaign.
Mr. Palmer and his satellites in
Pennsylvania are going to discover
before many weeks that comparatively
few men after all are interested in the
patronage of the administration, but
that thousands upon thousands nre
deeply concerned about their own
welfare and the comfyrt and happiness
of their families.
Those multi-millionaire silk-stock
ing bosses of the Democratic machine
in this State are finding that the men
in blouses are more concerned about
full dinner pails than they are over;
theories of government and reforms
that do not reform.
DRESS AND THE MAX
NEW YORK women are the
most beautiful and the best
dressed in the world, but
their husbands look like
rag-pickers," according to Madame
Suzanne Joire, premier dressmaker of
Paris as she shook the dust of New
York from her sandals on her way
back to Europe, whither she goes to
spend the "dust" of another sort ac
cumulated in America.
Further, the Madame says she
wouldn't kiss an American man be
cause he doesn't wear a beard and-be
cause he does wear trousers that bag
at the knees and coats that do not
lit. She says the American man is
her idea of a nightmare come true.
Wo don't know whei wo felt so
pleased with American men as after
reading Madame Joire's farewell inter
view. Aside from the fact that we
suspect certain American husbands
must have vetoed some of the Ma
dame's dress-making proposals, we are
tickled half to death to learn that
American men are not half so well
dressed as we feared. We had been
trouble ' in the belief that some of
our young men have been thinking
too much of clothes and too little of
business.
We confess a provincial, not to say
vulgar, admiration for the man who
is too busy with big things to trouble
himself about the crease of his trous
ers or the cut of his coat. We blush
to admit it, but we love to picture in
our mind's eye the splendid spectacle
of a male fashion-plate coming into
sudden and violent contact with a to
boggan slide at the bottom of which
rests in patient repose a lovely puddle
of thick, yellow mud. It's shameful,
we know, but wo fancy there are oth
ers who entertain some such unholy
thoughts at times.
And beards! What are they but
germ catchers and disguisers of weak
and effeminate chins?
"The day of packing conventions and
hand picking legislators to do tho will
of the boss has ended," is a gem from
Josephus Daniels.
How about the band-picked candi
dates for United States Senator and
Governor, Josephus?
THE TIME TO SWAT.
IF we are to believe our scientific
friends, now, and not next summer,
is the appointed time for swatting
the fly. The torpid, lazy moving
insects are beginning to emerge from
their winter quarters. They are to
be the progenitors of trillions of epi
demic makers. Tho menace which
annually faces mankind through the
activity of these distributers of germs
and disease may be reduced, but only
through the striking of a telling blow
at the insects before they have had a
chance to develop.
The wonderful reproductive capa
city of this breeder of pestilence is
tho reason advanced why house
holders should begin an immediate fly
swatting campaign. A solitary fly in
April may seem a harmless thing, but
if left undisturbed it may cause an
entire community to be gripped by
pestilence.
Health experts are beginning to
realize that if flies are to be destroyed
they must be attacked when they are
least able to combat their natural ene
mies, and this is in the early spring,
when food is scarce.
The close relation of cleanup cam
paign to the fly exterminating propa
ganda has begun to be appreciated,
and for this reason many municipali
ties already have commenced or are
preparing for sanitary crusades. It
has been demonstrated that the more
filth that is removed irom a city the
greater difficulty Is placed in the way
of the development of the insect dis
ease spreaders.
It would seem, in view of these
facts, that it might be better for the
Civic Club to offer prizes of fivo cents
each for flics now than five cents a
pint later in the year alter the "hold
overs" have raised large families to
wing their disease-laden way into
our food and drink.
1 EVENING CHAD
If Harrisburg had enjoyed the serv
ices of a city planning commission
twenty years ago there would have
been prettier outlying sections and
some of the suburban communities
would have had their street lines and
names in accord with what they should
be. It was in 18U9 that the city had
its last real city planning commission.
That was the year when the boun
daries were enlarged and the city
plotted for a mile on the north, south
and east. Some of the old maps show
ing this plotting on the old rectangular
system, the Philadelphia plan, are still
to be seen. The men in charge thought
that they were doing the right thing,
but they did not know that the day
was coming when the streets would
follow the contour of the ground and
that the plan of building*block after
block of houses on the same scalo
would be done away with and local
beauty spots created. Incidentally,
this commission suggested the acqui
sition of the "Hardscrabble" district,
some of its members unofficially mak
ing efforts to obtain prices on tho
houses on the river bank side with a
view of placing an estimate before the
council. Had the city enjoyed the
advice of a planning commission in
the l.*st generation there would have
been fewer haphazard building op
erations conducted and some of tne
streets would have been fun on proper
lines and named with some system.
Commissioner of Fisheries N. R.
Buller paid tribute to the anglers of
the State this morning when he said
that he believed more men would be
out at daybreak with rods and' lines
than in any other year. "I have never
known fishermen to be as interested in
propagating lish as they have been
for the last year," said he. "In a
dozen or more counties men have
given up their time and work to see
that, tish were properly planted and to
make observations. I hope the sport
will be good because they deserve it."
Professor Emory R. Johnson, who
has been testifying before the sena
torial committee in charge .of the
hearings on the tolls repeal bill, is the
State Public Service Commissioner.
Dr. Johnson, who was a member of
the faculty of the University of Penn
sylvania, worked out tho calculations
for the tolls for the canal.
During tho lire at the Aughinbaugh
Press the other night big pails of hot
coffee were supplied to the firemen
b. the Telegraph and the Elks, whose
clubhouse is in Second street, half a
block from the scene of the lire. Not
only did the Elks supply coffee; they
also kept their clubhouse open and
three or four physicians who are
members of the fraternity gave med
ical attention to the firemen who had
been almost overcome by the intense
smoke.
James Scarlet, the Danville lawyer,
stood in front of a fishing tackle store
yesterday afternoon and looked long
ingly at the trout fishing equipment.
"Here is the opening day of the
trout season to-morrow and I'm tied
up in a case in court," he said. Mr.
Scarlet has not missed the first day
of the trout season for a long, long
time and he has a collection of trout
flies that is hardly equaled in the
State.
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer,
the Democratic national committee
man, who was hero yesterday, played
football on a gridiron in Harrisburg
years ago. The Congressman was
then a member of the Swarthmoro
College eleven and came here. with
his team to play a game on neutral
ground, the contest being held in
North Sixth street. In his football
days the Congresman had us a team
mate Senator William C. Sproul.
The reference bureau of the now
public library is working overtime
these days. It is because there are
many high school and grammar
school students preparing essays and
they are commencing to use
the library to an extent that
is surprising everyone con
nected with it. The library for
tunately has secured some of the
best encyclopedias to be found, in
cluding the Catholic and Jewish edi
tions, which were donated. These
books have been much used by tho
students, many of whom have found
historical matters not treated in other
editions. The number of reference
questions answered, that is questions
involving search and not those to be
taken care of right away, has more
than doubled in the last month.

"LOOTERS OP THE TIIEASL'ItV"
[From the Philadelphia Press.]
This is the first session of Congress,
Democratic in botli branches, that has
I appropriations to dispose of. The Demo-
I cratic chairman of the appropriations
committee, Fitzgerald, of New York, is
stirred to indignant wrath at the ra
pacity of his Democratic colleagues,
whom he spoke of as "looters of the
Treasury." His official position makes
hiin In a measure responsible for the
extravagant appropriations which this
Congress insists on making and last
Friday ho thus delivered judgment up
on it:
| "in a few months I shall be called upon
in the discharge of my official duties
Ito review the record that the Demo
cratic House shall have made in its au
| thorization of the expenditure of the
public moneys. Whenever I think of
! the horrible mess that I shall be called
, upon to present to the country on be
half of the Democratic party 1 am
tempted to quit my place. lam looking
1 now at Democrats, who seem to tal<e
[umuEement in soliciting votes on tho
I floor of this House to overturn the com
■mlttee on appropriations In its efforts
' to carry out the pledges of the Demo
i cratic platform. They seem to take it
!to be a huge joke not* to obey their
i platform."
| There has been a number of bills
i passed of unusual character, making
I appropriations of many millions for
special objects. These will total large,
! but it is the very liLeral hand with
which ordinary appropriations are made
I that now promises to make the pres
icnt Congress the most extravagant on
iiecoid. The chairman of the appro
priations committee reminds his Demo
cratic associates of their standing
I charges of Republican extravagance
I continued through many years and that
| now they are showing that those
charges were not made In good faith,
| since at the first opportunity they are
going far beyond all previous outlays.
! Extravagance is the besotting sin of
the day in almost all bodies having tho
I public money to distribute, but this
Democratic Congress proposes to out
distance them all. The chairman of the
appropriations commltteo is keeping
account of the growing volume of ex
penditure and he is tilled with dismay
and gloomy forebodings at the show
ing and he tells his Democratic col
leagues that they "have unnecessarily
piled up the public expenditure until
the Democratic party is becoming the
laughing stock of the country."

HAFHISBURG TELEGKAPS
9KRMXN ANSWERS
MITCHELL PILMER
Accepts Challenge and Will Make
a Tour of the State and
Say a Few Things
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer got
it back in style from Judge John
Moonbeam Garman, of Luzerne
county, yesterday in reply to his chal
lenge for the "men back of Ryan" to
go out and show themselves. The
judge not only accepted the challenge,
but said if Palmer could not scare up
tho money for the special car which
he had offered he would pay the ex
penses himself, preferring an unpre
tentious day coach.
Palmer said in Altoona that he
would see that the money was gotten
for the car if the men back of Ryan
would make tho tour. He did not say
which one of the wealthy men aligned
with his faction would put up the. cost
and yesterday Chairman Morris denied
that any funds collected by the State
committee were being used in the
campaign of any primary candidate.
So the cost problem is considerably
narrowed down.
In brief, Judge Garman accepts the
challenge and says he will go out and
make speeches for Ryan. Then he i
says that Palmer once enjoyed the
bounty of James M. Guffey and J. K. .
P. Hall, whom he now denounces, and ,
remarks that at the Allentown con
vention Palmer "stood shoulder to
shoulder with his then source of sup
plies, Senator Hall, in support of what
Palmer now calls a bipartisan ma
chine." The judge further charges
that Palmer, after being in the inner
circles of the management of the con- 1
vention, indorsed the work of that
convention by supporting Webster
Grim, its nominee.
The judge indulges in some red-hot
denunciation of the people who are
bossing the faction of the party to
which he is opposed, say
ing, among other things:
Garman "Truly, Palmer is either a
Versus knave or an ignoramus,
Palmer and I do not believe him to
be an ignoramus. His as
saults now upon his col
leagues in the Allentown convention
are pitiful attempts to gather to him
self a few votes by the indorsement of
successful falsehood and misrepre
sentation. On my tour through the
State I shall be glad to show to the
people the proofs of moneys con
tributed by Messrs. Hall and Guffey to
help Palmer to flounder about in Con
gress; 1 shall lay bare tho fact that
Palmer deceived and betrayed Judge
Gordon for the national committee
ship; and I shall show that Palmer
and McCormick have as a running
mate a man who received the sum of
$2,000 per year from a private indi
vidual for services rendered the Demo
cratic party as one of its officials. The
Democrats of Pennsylvania have taken
the measure of these pretenders,
McCormick and Palmer; and the pri
maries in May will show that bolters,
party wreckers and ingrates cannot
become the representatives of a party
which since 18G0 has consistently
fought for loyalty to party principles
and for a free and independent man
hood."
The rivalry between the wings of
tho Democratic party in this city is
commencing to show itself very plainly
and some of the Central
Democratic Club men are
now accusing Ryan men Rivalry
of having made fools of
themselves in staying in County
away from the Jefferson
dinner because it was a
great success. Tho machine Demo
crats are declaring that the Ryan men
cannot make any kind of a showing at
the meeting to be held on Saturday
night when the Philadelphia city so
licitor is expected here. This has put
tho Ryan men on their mettle and
they will make an effort to have one
of the biggest rallies ever held here.
Ryan may also be asked to visit Steel
ton later in the campaign.
Nominating petitions were tiled at
the Capitol to-day for H. B. Shoop and
Murray E. Goodyear for the Repub
lican nominations for tho House from
Cumberland county. Mr. Shoop is a
plasterer, living at West Fairview, and
Mr. Goodyear is a smith at Carlisle.
Both men are well known in the
county and will make strong runs.
Dennis J. Driscoll, Democratic State
committeeman l'rom Elk county, yes
terday tiled his petition to be a candi
date for re-election to
the State committee.
Fifteenth Mr. Driscoll comes from
Year on St. Mary's, the metrop-
Committco oils of Elk county, and
this is the fifteenth year
in which he has served
as a member of the State committee.
Mr. Driscoll served as State chair
man one year and has for years been
a division chairman. Ho is active as
a school director and prominent in
many affairs. Speaking yesterday he
said that he hoped to be re-elected
to the State committee, adding, "I
have seen dynasties rise and fall."
His precinct gave 014 votes for Wilson
in 1912.
The Dauphin county Prohibitionists
yesterday afternoon tiled their nomi
nating petitions for this year, naming
a complete ticket. The
names of the Rev. T.
H. Daugherty, pastor Cold Water
of Ridge Avenue Nominations
Methodist church, and Arc Entered
Thomas H. Hamilton,
the architect, are sub
mitted for members of the State com
mittee from Dauphin county. For

the county the candidates are M. H.
