FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 1
THE ELECTION LAW JUMBLE
AGAIN the Dauphin County Court
is bombarded with nomination
controversies. Each year the
situation with respect to elec
toral reforms, so-called, becomes more
and more trying for the average voter.
Much of the difficulty In the opera
tion of the election laws has resulted
from the attempt to put into practice
Impractical regulations. These changes
were honestly meant in some cases,
but in nearly every instance they have
been inspired by political resentment
or an effort on the part of political
groups and factions to obtain an ad
vantage which could not be secured in
the ordinary way.
Judges Kunkel and McCarrell and
their predecessors on the Dauphin
county bench have been compelled to
review one contest after another and
in most of the cases the time of the
court was wasted in the untangling of
many district controversies which
should have been threshed out in the
primary Instead of In the court room.
It is impossible to twist the law into
an agency for the promotion of politi
cal ambition and instead of the com
plicated and confused system of elec
tion laws which has been dumped
upon the voters during the last few
years, thef - e should be provided an
electoral commis...on composed of fair
minded men who would eliminate the
absurdities of the present conglome
rate mass of alleged reform enact
ments.
Much of the difficulty under which
election officers and State, county and
district officials are now laboring has
been caused by the political upheavals
of recent years and the scheming of
little politicians wabbling around in
big places to achieve their own ambi
tions. Until the era of political hys
teria shall have passed, it is probable
that there will be little improvement.
A FOREHANDED PROPOSITION
THERE will be general commen
dation for the municipal au
thorities in their plan to utilize
the material from the subways
in Second and Front streets at Mul
berry for the filling <out of the narrow
stretches along the river front. The
economical consideration here is the
conspicuous factor in the transaction.
Unless this earth is obtained at this
time the fining out of the narrow sec
tions along Front street, especially in
the northern part of tho city, will
eventually cost many times what
would now be involved through the
utilization of the filling materials in
sight.
Owing to the large amount of grad
ing of building lots and streets, tho
"eheap as dirt" slogan is no longer
heard. Instead, dirt is not now a
cheap qommodity in Harrisburg and
the city officials appreciate the im
portance of securing this material
now. Fortunately for the city and all
concerned the contractors and the
railroad authorities are co-operating
In this matter.
As is well known, the paving of
an important stretch of Front street
was accomplished after consider
able controversy over the width
of the highway. This matter having
been settled for all time, it is obviously
necessary that sufficient sidewalk
shall be provided on both sides of the
street In order that the danger which
is now imminent through the general
use of tho river drive by pedestrians
may be overcome. As the heavy exca
vation work will probably start next
week. It is expected that some ar
rangement will be made to utilize the
hundreds of tons of earth that will be
displaced.
It is also pointed out that the curb
ing along the west side of the street is
settling in many places and that fur
ther support is necessary.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
THERE is opportunity for the
advancement of every American
who has tho ability to "get
there" and courage enough to
overcome the obstacles that lie be
tween him and success. This is an
old story, wo know, but there has
haen so much preaching of soolalism
In the land, so tnuch of the destruc-

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 1, 1914.
tiv.» and ! "ttlo of the constructive
in the public press of the country in
recent years that repetition in this
instance may bo excused and it comes
as a distinct pleasure to illustrate this
old-time truth with a concrete,
example.
Take, then, the case of W. A. Carter,
who has just been selected by Gover
nor Cox as a delegate from Ohio to
the National Negro Educational Con
gress at Oklahoma City. Carter is
well known in Harrisburg, not only
among colored people, but to many
whites as well, as an honest, hard
working young man whose energies
kept pace with his ambitions,
In his youth Carter was as poor as
i ! any of the "rail-splitting" residents of
I whom historians are so fond of relat
ing. He went through the public
schools, working his way, and then
studied for the postal service, qualify
ing for mail carrier and making a
good record for himself in the Harris
post office. In his leisure hours he
studied law—studied in the evenings
and at the post office between his
trips about the city, studied without
the help of a preceptor or a college
professor.
Carter had set his heart on a legal
practice in Cincinnati. He tried for
the examination and failed. Undls
couruged he went back to his mail
sack and his books, making a motto
of the old copy book line, "If at first
you don't succeed, try, try again."
Later he was admitted to the Ohio
bar and laid aside his uniform for all
time. He is "making good" in his
adopted home, highly respected by all
who know him and, better than all
that, respected by himself.
The Telegrapji has real pleasure
in telling this little story of William
A. Carter. It is not alone a message
of hope and encouragement to the
many who are struggling along the
road over which this young man has
trudged to success, but it gives the lie
direct to those who would make us be
lieve that the day of opportunity in
America is dead.
FIFTEEN YEARS AS BISHOP
THE Rt. Rev. Bishop John W.
Rhanahan to-day celebrates his
fifteenth anniversary as head of
the Catholic diocese of Harris
burg.
Harrisburg has never known a more
active churchman nor one more de
voted to his duties. During his
bishopric he has witnessed an Increase
of 9,000 In his church membership
and was the leading figure lit the
building projects that have resulted in
the erection of St. Patrick's Cathe
dral, the Abbottstown Protectory for
Boys and numerous other church
structures. He was also instrumental
in the foundation of the Sylvan
Heights home for girls and the bring,
ing of the headquarters of the First
Slovak Union of America to Middle
town. In addition to his church duties
he has been prominent in every public
improvement campaign and in all
movements for the betterment of Har
risburg.
Bishop Shanahan holds not only the
respect of people of his own creed, but
of all those who admire a big man
doing a big work in a big way.
Any strike of any sort under present
conditions is most deplorable, and it is
to be hoped the difficulty between the
I Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
some of its employes here and else
where will be speedily adjusted.
CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY
IF there Is one charitable organ
ization In Harrisburg that deserves
support more than another it is the
Children's Aid Society.
Usually the membership of such an
association greatly exceeds in numbers
its beneficiaries, but not so the Chil
dren's Aid Society. Only 100 mem
bers were in attendance at the Ex
ecutive Mansion yesterday when the
annual meeting was held, but It de
veloped that the society has under its
care 193 children; approximately two
for every member present. This is a
splendid showing und one well deserv
ing of the appeal for contributions
which the organization has made for
continuance of its work.
The society is maintained entirely
by the voluntary gifts of Its members
and others. Its work lies among
"neglected and dependent children."
The Children's Aid Society realizes
well the importance of good environ
ment for the child. Its members know
how susceptible are the little mind and
body to the influences about them and
its members strive to the best of their
ability to care for the needy and the
neglected. There Is no sweeter, noblet
service than this.
"Even as ye have done it unto one
of the least of my brethren, ye have
done it unto me."
THE "LANDLORD TRUST"
THE "Landlord Trust" Is the lat
est. It is composed of owners
of Chicago real estate who have
blacklisted tenants to whom
they object The consequence is that
a large number of residents of that
city who desire to move on May 1
will not have any place to go.
The "black list" was formed with
the intention of warning landlords
against persons who believe It to be
"cheaper to move than pay rent."
Chicago newspapers report, however,
that it Is being abused. Owners of
property who take a dislike to people
wait until they remove to houses
owned by others, and then place their
names on the lists of those to whom
Chicago real estate men will not rent
homes.
To what extreme lengths this evil
may be carried along the lines of
blackmail and spitework can be imag
ined very easily. It Is a question
whether or not such a "black list"
does not come under the United
States law In restraint of trade.
The man who "skips" his rent be
cause he does not pay deserves no
sympathy, but the man who gets be
hind is not always a spendthrift or a
"beat." He is ofttimes in hard luck
and it is wrong to Injure his charac
ter because he has contracted a debt
which, although be is At present un
able to pay, he fully intends to meet
eventually. Furthermore, It would be
easy for a landlord to blacken the
name of any tenant against whom he
happened to entertain a grudge. We
very much fear the Chicago owners
have not found the cure for the
"dead-beat" whose object In life
seems to be to get his living at as
small a cost as possible.
1 EVENING CHAT I
When the Capitol Park Extension
Commission gets the deeds for the
properties optioned in April there will
be just 150 of the 537 properties in
the extension zone which have not
been acquired by the Commonwealth.
Few people have much of an idea of
the expeditious manner in which the
commission has been working or the
completeness of the data it has gath
ered to aid in its prosecution of the
task committed to it by the Legis
lature. Before the commission began
work it had the appraisements made
by the citizens' committee and a re
view made by citizens. This was sup
plemented by work done by the late
A. G. Knlsely and Samuel 18. Rambo
and since that time every bit of in
formation that could be gathered
about values and conditions was listed.
It was so complete that when peoplo
came in with comparative statements
as to values or dimensions they some
times got into trouble with the cold,
hard facts. The State has acquired
up to this week 383 of the properties
in the district and four more were op
tioned this week. Arrangements have
been made to take over eight more
and the chances are that before the
next Legislature meets less than 100
properties in the whole twenty-seven
acres will be in private or corporate
hands. What the public sees Is tho
march of the wrecker, and this can be
understood when it Is stated that 312
buildings of various kinds have been
sold by the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings, to which authority the
park commission transfers properties
as soon as deeds are passed. Of this
number approximately 275 have been
demolished and every one of the rest
is in the hands of wrecking gangs,
although In some cases only the doors
and windows have been removed as
yet. Practically all of the material
in these properties has been used in
construction work elsowhere and good
prices have been obtained by some of
the buyers in reselling the various ar
ticles when remctved from the houses.
A story is told about one man who
made a specialty of buying from the
persons who bought houses all of the
plumbing material, while another ac
cumulated He had doors of all
sizes and conditions and he found
plenty of persons willing to pay him
for his trouble. And the State has
been getting good prices for the build
ings, much better than was expected
after the small figures bid at the first
sale a couple of years ago.
The military rumor monger is
abroad in the land since the progress
of the mediation effort* has caused a
cessation of war talk and in view of
the disposition being made of the
Twelfth Infantry, which has its head
quarters up river about Sunbury and
Williamsport, it is interesting to note,
what Adjutant General Thomas J.
Stewart has to say: "The manner in
which the National Guard of Pennsyl
vania goes into federal service depends
entirely upon the call of the President.
He can ask for all of our infantry
regiments or he can designate how
many regiments, and of what branches
they shall consist. Furthermore, he
may fix 150 as the maximum for a
company or 100. Clear and well de
fined plans have been prepared for tho
Guard in case it is not called Into
active service and they will be worked
out. But what will happen in the
event of a call no one can say."
Among the men in the Dauphin
County Court on election cases yester
day were two who represent two
widely differing: parties. One was
Harry Wittig, the veteran secretary of
the Republican city committee and one
of the best posted men on politics in
Philadelphia, and the other Fred S.
Drake, who has been Insurging for
n.«»ny years and who is now a Wash
ington party leader. They have always
been on opposite sides.
A couple of kids came into town
late last evening tired and dusty after
a long tramp into the country. They
said they had been "exploring" and
had gfcne miles since school "let out."
Both were mysterious about their er
rand. but finally one gave this in
formation: "The cherry trees and
plum trees are commencing to bloom
and you can go and spot 'em without
anyone getting mad when you get in
sight like they do in season."
The .editor of a Philadelphia class
publication recognized as a standard
In its line wrote to State Economic
Zoologist H. A. Surface recently ask
ing for names of five apple trees which
will provide fresh apples for home use
throughout the season. Professor Sur
face recommended the following: Yel
low Transparent, Sweet Bough, Sum
mer Rambo, Smokehouse and Stay
man Winesap. His letter also stated:
"The only real winter apple on the list
is the last named. If you wish to sub
stitute a winter variety for tho Sweet
Bough, I would recommend Delicious
or Rome Beauty. Jonathan is an
other of very high quality, as Is also
the Grimes Golden. It is difficult to
think of eliminating any one of these
from a list of apples with very high |
quality foro growing in the southeast- ,
ern part of Pennsylvania for hame i
Among visitors to the city yesterday I

known Washington newspaper corre
spondents. He came to the city on
some personal business and visited tho
Capitol. Mr. Hay, who is well known
as a wrltter in general news service
and in Sunday editions, was the guest
of H. L. Ilosford during his stay here.

It will bo several days before any

voters on Wednesday, none of the
counties having any system whereby
prompt returns can be assured. Indi
cations in over two-thirds of the third

there has been a marked increase in
Republican enrollment, many men who
had been entered as Washington party
followers having entered as Repub
licans.
It appears to be generally reported
that the registration was light and that
it favored the Republicans in several
cities which have been inclined toward
the Bull Moosers.
Democrats made strenuous efforts
to increase registration in Erie and
other cities whore there are contests
for control of party machinery. In
Pottsville, where trouble occurred over
the registration, many men did not
go to the polls. Republicans gained
largely in Wilkes-Barre.
