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.

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.

>V HAT DISRUPTS THE FAMII-Y
[From the New York Sun.]
When the Brooklyn Domestic Rela
tions Court began its sessions for last
vear the Magistrates sitting In it de
cided to find out as nearly as might be
the underlving causes of disunion in
the families that came under their
notice. The probation officers were in
structed to examine each case entrust
ed to them and record the reasons dis
closed to them for marital disaster, t he
result of their inquiries is given in the
subjoined table, which is included in
the annual report of the court to the
Board of Aldermen: „
Xum- Per
Cause. ber. Cent.

Lazy and untidy wives .... 2o -.3
Mother-in-law interference 12 1.4
Other men (accusations of
I husbands) 10 1.2
Cruel treatment S .9
l Such a tabulation must, of neces
i sity, be only roughly accurate, from
'the nature of the cases examined; as,
i for example, in the classification under
' "drink," in which undoubtedly are re
corded many instances of domestic in
felicity due originally to less easily
stated incitements, which finally led the
partners at fault to dissipation landing
them in the court. 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. It would be
supposed that a large proportion of
these would have been youngsters, un
able to submit to the readjustments
necessary to successful matrimonial
life. From the figures this does not
appear to be the case:

20 and 30 years 133 34.0
30 and 40 years 148 37.7
40 and upward 102 26.6
Thus the presumably wild and un
settled chaps under 30 behaved better
than their elders of from 30 to 40, while
the graybeards of 40 and upward failed
lamentably to disclose a better dispo
sition than their Juniors. Perhaps the
tango is responsible for this; its rav
ages are particularly disastrous among
those old enough to know better.
