SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 18 EFFICIENCY THE KEYNOTE WHILE their Democratic oppo nents are raving over the awful partisanship of the Republican members of the City Council, those department heads are going ahead with the Important, public work which has been entrusted to their t are. Compared with the total population, the persons who are en gaged in constant criticism of the Re publican Councllmen, while closing their eyes to Mayor Royal's spineless and partisan course since he assumed office, are few in number and for the most part hidebound in their party allegiance. There is much for all the depart ment heads to do, and those who are in touch with the municipal adminis tration realize the extent of the public work for which Superintendents Lynch. Taylor and Bowman are re sponsible. These officials have already done many creditable tilings, and from time to time the public lias been ad vised of the more important features of the public work in contemplation or already under way. but for partisan purposes their critics have given little consideration to these matters while indulging in exaggerations and abuse over the unimportant distribution of jobs. Mayor Royal lias been more inter ested in promoting the interests of a factional Democratic machine than in co-operating with his colleagues in the advancement «>f the interests of Harrisburg. His list of incompetent| appointees is never referred to by his apologists, but tliey talk themselves hoarse over the alleged partisanship of the Republican officials. This newspaper does not approve of everything the majority of City Council has done, but it believes in fair play and fair dealing with the public. We repeat what was said on this page a few days ago—that the people of Harrisburg are vastly more concerned about results in the conduct of the several departments than they are over the selection of subordinates, and .iust in proportion as they make good ■will the several officials have the com mendation of their fellow citizens. Building of political machines Is an sctlve industry just now—much more «etlve thnn other industrial enter prises—and the people are not going to lose sight of the real work of the municipal officials by reason of the dust raised over an appointment here nnd there. Whatever changes in the working (forces of tho various departments are necessary or desirable should be made •without further ado and regardless of the squawking of political malcon tents. Once more .Mayor John K. Royal has [placed his bleeding heart upon his rleeve over the indifference of his Re publican colleagues of the Cfty Coun cil to the "spirit" of the Clark act which imposed upon Harrisburg- its new system of government. Jeremiah had nothing on the Mayor in the matter of lamentations and when he retires from office much of the humor of tho po litical game will disappear with him Thosp wicked Republican members of the City Council oug-ht to have some respect for his feelings if they haven't for his manner of conducting the office which he still holds by grace of the Clark act. FAILURE OF DEMOCRATS OGDEN L. MILLS, in a speech on the first year of the Wilson administration, sums up the situation thus: The problem of vesterdav may have been how to live cheaplv: that Of to-day is how to live at all. As to the truth of this thousands of unemployed men to-day are living testimonials. When this newspaper, during the campaign of 1912, in a series of reprint cartoons, warned Us readers against a repetition of the Cleveland tariff slashing. Democrats laughed its forebodings to scorn and voters in mistaken uut loyal devotion to a lost cause persisted in a course that placed a Democrat in the White 3louse, who, as Air. Mills well said, "has fulfilled our most dismal feaVs «nd made us true prophets at the expense of the country." During the first four .months of the new tariff there were imported $4 7,- SATURDAY EVENING, 000.000 less of raw material for manu facturing; purposes and }9,000,000. or G per cent., more or finished articles, showing conclusively thai the much advertised advantage which manu facturers were to derive from free raw material had no basis In fact when they were subjected at the same time to free competition in the finished product. In wool alone the increase in manufactured articles has been $2,200,000 and in wool cloths and dresses $2,000,000. or the product of at least 15,000 wage-earners. And yet, in view of all this, said Mr. Mills, wo wonder at the number of unem ployed. During the same period, according to the same authority, the imports of farm products have increased $40.- 200,000 without reducing the cost of living, but diminishing to that extent the purchasing power of the Ameri can farmer. Mr. Mills, reciting the series of con tinuous blunders —and worse —that have marked the course of the Demo crats since they assumed control at Washington, expresses the belief that "they furnish ground for an unan swerable appeal to the country next! Fall"; and there arc already indica- J tions that he is right in this view. ] The Democrats have touched the American voter on his tenderest spot —his pocketbook and he is at least awake to the truth of what men of sound and conservative thought have been trying to impress upon him for the past three years. A CHINESE ORATOK . KXTUS." said Mendelssohn, j f "is industry." Perhaps it is very largely the capacity for effort. Ambition spurring onward men of high ideals, stimulates them to the performance of the hard Work without which few things worth while are attained. | A remarkable exemplification of the ' close association between talent and industry is given in the recent scholas tic triumph won by a young Chinese government student of the University of Michigan. Y. F. Jabin Hsu, 'l4, who secured second place in the an nual varsity oratorical contest of the University of Michigan, first honors in which were carried off by no less dis tinguished a scholar and speaker than Paul Blanshard, the 1913 national peace orator. The Chinese are remarkable for their capacity for taking pains. The old joke about the stupendous task which the Chinese language imposes on the Chinese child has unquestion ably underlying it more than a grain of sound wisdom. That the Chinese, in common with other foreigners, often speak better English than many Americans and most Englishmen, is well known. But it is greatly to China's credit, and very much to the credit of young; Mr. Hsu, that he should win his spurs in companionship with such a distin guished knight of the graceful perora tion. Mr. llsu. according to a news dispatch, is now working hard upon a readable history of the evolution of tile Chinese people among the self governing nations of the earth. If he would decide to take to the American platform with a good, intel ligible talk un China, he might be doiim another good service to China, and a considerable service to Ameri cans Who are seriously interested in the voungest of the republics. Too much of our information and our ideas ol' China and the Chinese has come from second-hand sources. Liet us hear from the Chinese themselves— from Mr. Hsu, our young Wolverine from Cathay! WASHINGTON ANI) HARRISBURG IX a plea for national support for the improvement of Washington, fhe capital city of the nation, Henry B. MaeFarland, former president of the Board of District Commissioners, says: It is ridiculous to imagine that George Washington, the founder, and Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who specially aided him. or that anybody else expected the few people so brought to Washing ton. or those who might come afterward to carry out the splendid plan of n National Capital, or even ! to maintain the city of the nation. It is evident from all the official I reports and utterances that tlio | national Government itself was to 1 furnish the money for the making [ of the common capital. Mr.MacFarland points out (hat while Washington is the capital of all the people, the national government has spent little on its development, while the residents of Washington them selves have been lavish in their ex penditures for public improvements. In a sense Harrisburg bears the! same relation to Pennsylvania that Washington does to the United States' —it is the capital city of all the people! of this State. The comparison may foe' carried farther. Harrisburg, tike] Washington, has spent millions for its own improvement, while the State, until the passage of the <"apitol Park Extension bill, had done little or noth ing toward the transformation of its capital from a country town to a model city of modern design con structed along beautiful lines. Soon it will be necessary for the Legislature to appropriate more money for the park extension work. Every dollar of the money spent up to this time has been made to buy one hun dred cents' worth. All of the property in the scope of the proposed en largement will be purchased within the specified sum, and the land clear ed. But then will come the necessity of landscaping and ornamenting the land so acquired. This will necessitate more money and it should be given unstintedly. The people of Pennsyl vania should feel toward Harrisburg the way Mr. MacFarland would have the people of the nation at large feel toward Washington—that it is their city and that they owe it to them selves to uasist its residents in making it a model municipality In every re spect. Mayor Royal's nonpartisan spirit has not interfered with his aspirations to lie a member of Ihe Democratic State committee. 1 EVENING CHAT"! Just now so many men arc talking and so many newspapers printing pol-] itics and referring In such general terms to variolic matters connected with the preliminaries to a primary election that the average citizen is confused and some of the ladies who are interested in suffrage are wonder ing if they will have to keep all of such things in their heads. For the benefit o. those vho are asking ques tions It may be stated that enrollment means for Steelton and I.vkens bor oughs and Swatara and Upper Paxton townships almost what registration means to the people of Harrisburg, only they go about it in a different way. The law requires as a precedent to voting at a primary rtiat a man be listed under the name of the party to which he is atllliated or. If he de clines to acknowledge fealty to any party, he must admit it. The man who does not register under a party name can not vote any party ticket at a primary. All he can do is to vote the nonpartisan ballot. The enrollment in the boroughs and townships is end ed and the registration was closed on the evening of Wednesday in the lirst and second class cities. The voters of the third class cities, of which Harris burg is one, must register for the pri mary on August 2'J, provided that they did not register last Kail. All this is preliminary to the primary. When that is held on May 19 the voters have to go through new registration. The dwellers in boroughs and townships I will have to get their names listed by the assessors of their districts and the dwellers In the cities will have to ap pear personally on any one of three days in the Fall, which are designated by law. In order to safeguard the ballot the regulations have come peril ously close to red tape. A German band was "spieling" away the other evening on a corner and the air it was trying to play attracted much attention from passersby. Two men stopped and after listening awhile one, who claimed Irish parentage, re marked: "That sounds to me like one of the old German melodies." "Guess. You can't guess what it is?" replied his companion. "Give it up. What is it'.'" "Pennsylvania, Home cf Peace —the new State song," answered his friend. "Not so sure of that. Ask the leader." The leader of the band was ap proached as soon as he could finish his cornet work and was asked: "What was the name of that piece? We've got a bet on it." "Oh. youse haf a bet gehabt. Veil, it's Killarney." Only he never pronounced Killar ney. He only meant it. People riding along Derry street are naturally much interested in the new dwellings which are being erected along that thoroughfare and yesterday one man' boasted the cheapest house for the money in the city. He was asked how that was possible. Pretty soon the car passed the house and sure enough there was a "For Sale" sign] in full view. And right beside it was $32.00 Now the question is: Ts the owner advertising tho rent for the now dwelling or is he off on his use of the decimal. Captain John H. Wiltbank, the Phil adelphia legislator, who was here ves (terday to file his papers, was the offi 'cial funmaker of the last House. The [captain was always on the job when [.there was any fun to be had and once in a while got off something real good. He was also the "ancient mariner" and "old salt" of the House as he is a former sailor having spent most of I his seventy-four years at sea. Inci dentally "Cap" as he was affectionately [known, wrote a biographical sketch of himself which was just forty words long. He put it in Smull's and said it was the longest any man ought to writ.-. Speaking of biographies it might be stated that the record for a biographi cal sketch in Smull's, which some times lias to answer lor a great deal, is that of Ralph IJ. Robinson, who sat In the last House. He beats even Highway Commissioner Bigelow, who indulged in about forty-five words. Mr. Robinson's sketch simply reads that "Ralph L,. Robinson, Mercer county, was elected to the House of Repre sentatives ill November, 1912." He said to one that he might have left out the words "county" and "of repre sentatives." but he was too busy at the time he wrote about it to think of curtailment. Michael J. Ryan, who is to speak here to-night at a political meeting, has addressed Democratic meetings in this city in years gone by. his last ap pearance being in 1904 when he came to Harrisburg and at a meeting in the Board of Trade delivered one of the most scathing denunciations of the Republican organizations ever heard in this city. Dr. J. T. Itothrock. the former for estry commissioner who is to be hon ored at a luncheon to be tendered to him here next month, devoted years to the study of the trees of Pennsyl vania and while professor of botany in the University of Pennsylvania so persistently urged the popular atten tion toward trees that when the State sat up and took notice he was placed in charge of the forestry department. TPOLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —The question to-night will be: Who had the biggest meeting. —Democratic partisans were not as sociable as they might have been to day. —The Harrisburg Republican Club will have a big time next month. Penrose's visit to Steelton appears to be worrying n good many people not in the Republican party. —Bolllc of the Socialist nominating petitions being tiled are written in red ink. —Secretary Daniels lias been elect ed an honorary member of the Central as a compliment for his speech. —State Chairman Morris has not. yet made comment on that Beaver town post ofiice matter. —The post office scandal appears to be something not referred to in po lite society about the Democratic windmill. —Judge Garman appears to be still awaiting a reply to his acceptance of Palmer's offer to buy a special car for him. —Congressman Ainey has quit the senatorial field In favor of Dimmick. —Dimmick had some big meetings in Jefferson and Indiana counties ves terday. He returns to Philadelphia well pleased with the outlook. —A. B. Clark, of Altoona, candidate for Congress-at-large on the Demo cratic ticket, has joined the Ryan party. —McKean county enrollment shows 3.5G1 Rep 'Hllcans and only 1,991 Dem ocrats, the Bull Moosers being lower than the Democrats. And right after that McCormick tour of the county. —Out of 27,907 enrolled in Mont gomery county, 15,75ti are Republi cans. —Palmer said yesterday at South Bethlehem that the new tariff was a boon. He'd better not say that at Steelton. —Bruce Sterling has declined to stand for Senator In Kayette. They can't beat Crow. —K cyst oners may name Dimmick lor Senator. fiARRISBUIVj TELEGRAPH RYAN MEETING TO BE LIVELY AFFAIR Democrats of Dauphin and Cum berland Stirred Up by Rival ries Due to Campaign TRYING TO OUTDO EACH OTHER Dauphin County Files Two Non partisan Petitions in Behalf of Trexler Today Dauphin and Cumberland county Democrats wore greatly stirred up to day over the prospects for the Ryan mass meeting at Chestnut Street Audi torium to-night, and the rivalries which have been engendered by the candidacies for Governor which have split the party, cropped out in many ways. Members of the Central Demo cratic Club were asserting that the ltyan people would have to go some to beat last Monday's dinner, and the Kyan people were coming back with promises to make it look dizzy. Stories were afloat that some of the McCor inick men were going to the meeting prepared to ask questions. Much re t sentment at the "invasion" of Har lisburg, as it was termed, was shown 1 by adherents of the machine faction 1 of the Democrats. J?he Ryan party is due to arrive at 6.T0 from Williamsport and will be [escorted to the Bolton, where a recep tion will be held. At S the mass meet ins will begin at Chestnut Street Audi torium with ex-Congressman l>. F. Meyers as chairman. The speakers will include Mr. Ryan, John E. Jen kins, candidate for Lieutenant-Gov ernor; Henry Budd, Candidate for Sen ator: William K. Meyers, candidate for Congress-at-large, and those two sharp-tongued commentators on the men and practices of the reorganiza tion machine. Eugene C. Bonniwell and Senator Richard V. Farley. The meeting should be very interesting to H&rrisburgers, in view of the manner in which Senator Farley has discussed events in past municipal administra tions. Mayor Royal and Herr Moeslein yesterday afternoon placed on file their papers to be candidates for State committeemen from this county, they being the Dauphin men selected by the ma l'apers chine to represent Dau- Kntercd phin. Whether they will have any opposition will develop next Monday, but there were rumors that there would be something doing. Wilmer Crow, who filed a petition to be a Prohibi tion candidate for the House yester day, put on record a Washington party petition for Legislature in the city district, while Sam T. Kinsinger, ex-city councilman, showed that the machine booming cf Lybarger had no terrors for him ana put on record his papers as a candidate for Democratic nomination for the House. This puts four candidates in the field. There were some interesting papers entered yesterday. Edward It. Wood, a real estate man of Philadelphia, took a notion to run as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor and J. J. Kintner, of Lock Haven, for the Supreme bench. The rivals for the gubernatorial and senatorial nominations of the Demo crats swept through half a dozen counties yesterday, carrying the stand ards of factional Democratic warfare, in coun- Factions at ties of Palmer's It Very Hard home district the campaigners worked overtime, evidently because things are in bad shape, and the usual attacks were made on everyone who does not agree with them. The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says that Ryan has made hie gains as a result of his tour ' of Clearfield and Centre counties, and that the factionalism and blunders of the reorganizes have lost the ma chine much strength. Apparently Ryan is making headway, judging from the way the Ledger puts it. Next week McCormlck will go into Phila delphia and the Ryan men plan coun ter meetings. Secretary of Labor Wil son yesterday quit the McCormlck party and went back to Washington. Six additional petitions for the nomination of Judge Frank M. Trex ler, of the Superior Court, for the full term, to which he was appointed by Governor Danpliin Tener on the death of Signs ••"or Judge James A. Beaver, Troxler of the Superior Court, were entered at the Cap itol to-day, making titty on file for the Judge. Two of the pe titions tiled were from Dauphin coun ty, the names beinc those of some of the, most prominent men in Harris burg. Judge S. J. M. McCarrell heads one list, which also contains the names of manv members of the bar. includ ing ex-Judge M. W. Jacobs. Lyman I>. Gilbert. Charles H. Bergner, City So licitor D. S. Seitx, Thomas H. Hargest, John V). Fox, John It. Geyer, John fox Weiss, C. H. Backenstoe, Edwin W. Jackson and others. Charles A. Kunkel, Charles S. 8011, George \V. Reil.v, James Brady, D. W. Sohn and other prominent bankers are signers, along with W. 11. Earnest, Sheriff H. C. Wells, W. W. Wallower, W. 11. Hor jner. Dr. J. H. Kreider, W. L. Loeser, ex-Mayor E. Z. Gross and other promi nent citizens without regard to party. It was one of the most striking non partisan papers filed. The other Dau phin paper contains the names of [County Controller Gough, C. Ross Boas, Eiigene Snyder, H. B. Saussa |man, District Attorney M. E. Stroup, J. H. Butterworth, David Fleming and many other prominent men of all par ities. There was also filed for Judge Trcxler a petition signed by promi 'nent Perry countlans, together with ) papers bearing the names of many of the leading; men of Centre and Clear | field counties without regard to poli- I tics. A story sent from South Bethlehem to the Philadelphia Ledger last night saiij: "In the morning Palmer and McCormlck will appear before a mo tion-picture machine. The films taken are to be shown through the State. Mr. Palmer will probably return to Washington to-morrow, while Mr. Mc- Cormlck will proceed to Harrlsburg. James I Blakslee, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, and Wilson Bai ley, fiscal agent of the State commit tee, joined the party at South Bethle hem." - r nmiiAnMi roa 1 SHIRTS SIDES * SIDES . * ■ ii ——j i a-urne-nonsense i HE HAD TO GO Mollis—Must you go so soon, dear?

It will be observed that lack of employment is charged 'with a small share of the responsibility for family trouble; it may be conjec tured that adversity, as the poets love to teach, binds human beings more closely, rather than separating them; or it may be that the futility of pur suing a penniless, workless mate may affect these figures. Let all humorists take note of the official demolition of the mother-in-law jest. During the year 392 persons were convicted in the court.

COMMONWEALTH TRUST COMPANY 223 Market Street APRIL 18, 1914. POLITICAL FABLES (Contributed) Young Nation had for many years employed H Republican Party to di rect ills Ship of State, Which had made steady progress through the Sea:i of Destiny. There came up u storm owing to the High Cost of Living which caused much annoyance and discomfort to all aboard the ship. A querulous old Democratic lady, always given to scolding and . fault-finding, made much of the situation, asserting every day, yea, every hour of every •lay, that she herself could direct the Ship of State in a better manner and could easily chart a course that would lead to peace and happiness. The High Cost of Living storm still con tinuing. Young Nation was approach ed by a Progressive Party who advis ed not only a reversal of the course, but of "Judicial Decisions' as well, stating the Ship of State should be stripped of all the ropes of precedent and headed straight for the mlllineum. The Republican Party stood pat, feel ing sure straight ahead was the only proper course. After much talk Young Nation decided to give the old Democratic lady a trial.
