FOUND AT LAST
WE have found it at last! After
a weary search of months we
have discovered one article
the export trade of which has
Increased since the new tariff went
into effect. Motion-picture film ex
ports from the United States scored a
remarkable advance during March,
the total for that month having been
23,000,000 linear feet, as against 3,-
000,000 in March of the preceding
year. During the nine months which
ended with March the exports aggre
gated 146,000,000 linear feet, or four
times the amount exported in the cor
responding period of 1913 and nearly
treble the amount exported in the same
period of the former high-record year,
1912. A continuation of exports upon
the average level maintained in the
last nine months would bring the total
for the full fiscal year up to 195,000,-
000 linear feet, or sufficient to extend
a motion-picture film ribbon around
the globe at the equator with surplus
strips long enough Xo reach from the
equator to the North ancl South Poles.
It doubtless will be encouraging to
the man who has lost his job on ac
count of the Democratic tarifT to learn
that at all events the Moving Picture
Trust is prospering.
Our Progressive friends have prob

THE VACATION PROBLEM
THE Ohio State Journal comments
with enthusiasm over sugges
tions of Superintendent Haw
kins, of the Newark public
schools, for Improving vacation possi
bilities. The Journal agrees with Pro
fessor Hawkins that the vacation is
worse than useless if the pupil Is al
lowed to "go wild and careless," and
there is more than a grain of truth in
this.
According to newspaper report, Pro
fessor Hawkins is calling upon the
business men of his city to find em
ployment for these boys during the
summer. This work could be under
the direction of a committee or board
to jive out to the boys and girls, ac
cording to th< r several inclinations,
fitnesses, capacities, etc., and thus
xnake good use of a boy's or girl's ten
dencies. But lest there be a lack of
this employment offered, Professor
Hawkins proposes an agricultural
course in the high school and an ap
plication of its lessons in practical
work during the vacation months. He
SATURDAY EVENING, r HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH * MAY 2, 1914.
suggests that "a tract of tillable land
of thirty or forty acres be placed at
the disposal of tho board of education
for this purpose: that the board select
for one of its high school instructors
a man trained scientifically to give in
struction in agriculture; that this in
structor be employed by the year,
teaching the theory of agriculture to
classes of boys during the Fall and
Winter months, and directing the
actual work of these boys during the
, afternoons of the Spring and all day
during the Summer months."
j The success of the "school gardens"
i in Harrisburg would lead to the belief
jthat an extension of the plan to place
it under the direct control of the
School Board and operating on a large
scale might provide a solution of the
vacation problem. We do not agree
with those who would shorten the
vacation period. It would be little less
than cruelty to keep boys and girls
penned up in school during the hot
summer days, when even grown-ups
are shirking their tasks and going to
| the mountains or shore.. It will not
! do to make Jack's life "all work and
no play," but the play can be so di
rected as to make it profitable, men
ially, morally and physically.
Thousands of red-blood Americans
who differ with him as to policies will
rejoice that Colonel Roosevelt has
emerged from the jungles and unknown
fastnesses of South America in safety.
And if every boil is a blessing, the
Colonel has been blessed during his
temporary eclipse.
POLICE AND PUBLIC
COL. HUTCHISON, as chief of po
lice, has issued a circular letter
to the members of the force and
the public as well in which he
says:
The patrolman can do much to
improve physical conditions on Ills
best. It Is his opportunity to co
operate with the inspectors of the
other departments of the city in re
porting sidewalk obstructions, un
clean streets and alleys, tire haz
ards. holes in the streets, falling
wires, etc., because the several in
spectors cannot visit any one local
ity every day. To this service tho
citizen should contribute.
Co-operation! That is the impor
tant thing. Coi. Hutchison is right
when he says that the police officer
does not have the full support of the
public. To this it may be replied that
the police in times past have been
responsible to a large degree for this
lack of co-operation, but in Harris
burg the officers are apparently doing
their duty in a way to command re
spect, and they should not only have
that, but the people should reciprocate
in like measure
The police have a higher duty to
perform than that of merely keeping
order and arresting criminals. The
prevention of crime, the health of the
city, the repair of the streets, the vio
lation of city ordinances of any and
all kinds should be matters of sufficient
interest for a report by the officer on
the beat to headquarters. If the force
lives up to the excellent set of rules
laid down by Colonel Hutchison it will
very properly deserve the commen
dation and support of every right
thinking person in the community, and
it will in all llkehood have them.
Congressman J. Hampton Moore is
doing constructive work of a high order
in his steadfast adherence to a policy
of inland waterways for the United
States as a measure of relief for the
time when the transportation problems
of this country cannot be solved by the
railroads. He Is not so far afield as
some may imagine in his contention
that the Susquehanna river should be
utilized for navigation and power pur
poses by the construction of dams and
locks.
Uncle Sam's popularity is increasing
in Mexico. In addition to those
merchants of Vera Cruz and the citi
zens generally who have learned in
one week that we of the United States
are not bloodthirsty murderers, the
Yaqui Indians have sent a courier to
the Texas border with a message that
they have deserted the Mexican rebels
and are ready to join the American sol
diers. Sounds like benevolent assimi-
As Louis D. Bradeis, the last word
in what is or is not, has stated that the
railroads of the East must have an In
crease of revenues to assure pros
perity and "the-welfare of the com
munity," perhaps that leisurely body
known as the Interstate Commerce
Commission will say when.
Elk county's Republican enrollment,
for instance, is now 1,658, as compared
with the vote of 603 in 1912. And yet
there are a few persons who try to
make themselves believe Republicans
are not coming back to the fold.
Amended constitution of China gives
President Yuan wide powers. Among
other things he can dissolve the Legis
lature. Congress would be in a tight
place if the people of the United States
had the same power.
Those Mexicans seem entirely willing
to declare an armistice only so far as
the United States is concerned. They
reserve the right to scrap among them
selves until the cows come home.
By the way, what has become of that
campaign pledge of the Democracy
that the cost of living would be cut to
pieces by the free traders and oppor
tunists now in power?
Perhaps you have never used those
little flying squadrons of publicity—
the want ads, for sale, for rent, etc. If
not, you have no Idea of their effici
ency.
When one thinks how the White
House twins were forced into the arena
here in Pennsylvania against their
will, it's simply outrageous that's
what it Is—outrageous and cruel!
Those Ryan men should be more con
siderate of the White House boys in
tills State. They are likely to spoil a
farce by making It a political tragedy.
Alaska gold mining companies are
said to show Increased assets. Harris
burg investors ought to look up their
stock certificates.
It is going to be difficult to enforce
decent regulations regarding indiscrimi
nate dumping over the bank of the
river wltWln the city limits when ashes
from the city pumping station at North
street are deposited In largo quantities
anil allowed to destroy the beautiful
planting on the river side of the sta
tion. Ordinary consideration for the
attractive surroundlngrs and the neces
sity of spick-and-spanness where the
water supply of the people is Involved
should have prevented this indifference
to what has heretofore been one of the
show places of the River Front.

1 EVENING CHAT"
Not only will people living in tha
Thirteenth ward and many who travel
on the trolley cars to Hummelstown
and to Paxtang Park during Its sea
son, but hundreds who pass through
Harrlsburg on automobiles will rejoice
to learn that the city council has pass
ed the- ordinance foV the paving ot
Derry street from near Eighteenth to
Twenty-tlrst at least and, maybe, be
yond. if the money holds out. The
orders for the curbing contractor to
begin work on the highway where the
asphalt ends just east of Eighteen
street have gone out and operation
will be started soon. Paving will fol
low and the Harrisburg Railways
company will push work on the re
construction of its double track line.
Of all the highway Improvement
moves made by the .city authorities
since the paving of the river side
j above Kelker street was authorized
! this is one which will bring the most
j commendation. The stretch of Derry
; street between the paved district and
the State highway at Twenty-eighth
street has been for two years one of
the worst pieces of highway in Har
risburg and folks who were compelled
Ito pass over it realized its outrageous
condition because of the contrast
with the two improved portions they
| traversed. Time and again people
j who have driven across the State and
who have come to this city to spenu
'a day or a night or two visit the Capi
| tol have expressed their amazement
that a city which has been so noted
for its excellent streets would permit
such an abomination in the way of
roadway as existed last year, and still
exists on Derry street. How it escaped
improvement thus far when so much
traveled by Ilarrisburgers and those
Pennsylvnnians who regard Harris
burg as of unusual interest to the
State because of its official position, is
one of the matters for wonder. The
thousands who travel over it in trol
ley cars in the summer have choked
and sneezed in the dust clouds and the
people living along it have contributed
from their own pockets for oil treat
ment and sprinkling of the dirt road
way. It might almost be said that the
section was allowed to remain just
as it came into the city except for
some patching which oftentimes only
accentuated its generally bad condi
tion. The pavement of a portion of
it will be hailed with delight by thou
sands of people.
People who heard Attorney General
John C. 801 l and his predecessor, M.
Hampton Todd, argue the automobile
license revenue mandamus case before
the Dauphin judges yesterday, recall
ed the time when their positions were
reversed. Yesterday the attorney
general was in charge of the State's
official interest and Mr. Todd appear
ed for a defendant, although he re
marked in passing that he thought in
so doing he was also defending public
interest. Four years ago Mr. Todd was
attorney general in charge of an ac
tion to secure return to the State of
certain payments in the Capitol cases
and Mr. Bell was chief counsel for the
defense.

J. Benjamin Dimmlck, candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States senator, sent word to the city
last night that he would be In Harris
burg to meet the Republican voters on
Monday and would givo an informal
reception at the Senate Hotel Monday
night, Mr. Dimmick has been making
a tour of the State, in which he cov

and plans to go through this section
next week.
The Scranton man will arrive about
the middle of the afternoon and make
a tour of the city, after which he will
spend the evening at the hotel and
many Republicans will greet him.
Friends of the candidate were busy
to-day passing along the word that he

The Democratic war over the guber
natorial nomination was heated up a
few additional pegs last night by
speeches made at Scran
ton and Allentown. The
Democratic McCormick caravan en-
Breach is tered Allentown after
Much Worse an automobile tour of
parts of Berks and Le
high and William H.
Berry, who was beaten for the nomi
nation for Governor in 1910 in that
city and who bolted, was paraded as
the real Democratic exhibit. Accord
ing to reports. Berry practicallv threat
ened "to bolt again if Little Boss McCor
mick was not nominated. It was ex
pected that Berry would rip up
ex-Chairman Dewalt. but he never
squeaked, and it is noticed that friends
ot Big Boss Palmer and Dewalt are
pretty thick. In Scranton the Ryan
aggregation held a big meeting and
the vials of wrath were poured out on
McCormick, Mr. Ryan addressing a
few pertinent queries.
The Central Democratic Club had a
war scare for a time last night be
cause of an effort to turn the club into
an annex to the Pa-Mc
League. Harry Vollmer,
who is slated for one of the Central
federal jobs in this district Has War
after the primary, came Spasms
into the club with reports
that everyone was red hot
for McCormick up in a couple of town
ships in the upper end, where he had
been doing some gumshoe work. Mem
bers were a little astonished to learn
that the bosses had found it necessary
to send anyone out on sleuth duty, as
reports have been all along that things
were lovely. When Vollmer got
through the report there was a lot of
handclapping, whereupon some of the
members who are Democrats after as
well as before primaries asked why
the club was taking such a dip into
factional matters. The McCormick
gangsters were thrown into a panic
and helped out President How Jones'
effort to explain by prolonged cheers,
in the midst of which a motion to
adjourn was skidded through.

State fiscal officers are commencing
to fear that the appropriation of SS3O,-

and that tho next Gen
eral assembly will be
called upon to make a deficiency ap
propriation. About twenty-live of the
counties have been paid for the pri
mary elections held in 1913 and the
bills of others are now being audited.
A few claims made by counties for
expenses charged in connection with
tne primary in 1912 are also pending,
although, payments linve been made
on account. It is expected to clear
up the counties remaining unpaid for
last year before many weeks go by
The cost is running so heavv that not
much will be left for the elections of

required, such as correction of ini
tials, will be permitted. Withdrawals
received in the last few days have
been returned to the senders with in
formation that the time for withdraw
ing has gone by. Nominating petitions
filed for the House are in excess of
those filed in any previous year, but
the number of aspirants for the con
gressional and State Senate nomina
tions is about the same as in 1912.
POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—Mr. Ryan seems to be able to do
some challenging too.
—Mr. Berry's speech at Allentown
sounds something like a threat to bolt
—Secretary "Billy" Wilson's letter
comes a little late, considering how
long ago Farley made his speech.
—Senator Penrose is in New Castle
to-day.
—The McCormick caravan will try
to overcome the Ryan sentiment in
Montgomery county next week and
also visit Cumberland and Juniata
Valley counties.
—Congressman Broadbeck appears
to b« having troubles of his own in
the York-Adams district.
—The Keystone party will decide
upon its candidate for Governor the
coming week. It looks like Brum
baugh.
—Berry was a Democrat and bolted:
now he Is a Democrat again. Will
history repeat itself'.'
—Luserne has a record-breaking
registration and the reorganizes do
not like to talk about it.
—Perhaps if Palmer hnd not been
out making speeches that item of
$200,000 for Philadelphia's shipways
would not have been stricken from tho
naval bill.
—The State Democratic leader in
Congress picked the wrong time to go
campaigning, if his protestations in
behalf of Philadelphia are good.
—And still State Chairman .Morris
lias not announced clean-up day at
the Democratic State windmill.
—So there is no Ryan sentiment in
Rush townshi". Must be gratifying
news to the bosses.

GET OUT IN THE COUNTRY
By Wliik DlnKer
You're missing a lot of real pleasure
These days by remaining at home;
You ought to go out in the country
And over the hills and dales roam.
Get close to the trees and the flowers,
And hark to songs of the birds;
Breathe into your lungs the pure ozone
—lt's joy you can't portray in words.
Just study God's wonderful handiwork,
Which Nature reveals all about;
Why fellow, you're missing life's real
joy
In town—to the country get out.
There are months of real living before
you.
You've a chance to add length to your
life;
Just spend lots of time in the country
With the family—the kids and the
wife.
DR. GORGAS WIDENS THE EARTH
From a practical point of view thei
work accomplished by Dr. Gorgas and
his "five hundred brave young Amer-1
icans" in opening the tropics to safe l
residence by the white races takes
rank with the achievements of the
great explorers. It may not have the i
same appeal to the imagination; the 1
quest after microbes, the chase of the
mosquito and the fly, the draining of
marshes and the disinfection of stag- 1
nant pools are not so romantic in their
seeming as the ranging of the seas,
the penetration of the jungle, wrestl
ing with the elements or taming the
wild races of mankind. But in benefi
cent effect upon coming generations
the quiet n:an of science may prove
to tower above the navigator ar.d the'
pioneer, and his name may he writ-'
ten larger hi the hooks of the future. |

the News and Observer of Raleigh,
Josephus Daniels president, we derive
this discouraging information:
"It has been a striking thing about
the Wilson Cabinet that it is composed
of men who have gone into their work
with constructive programmes that it
will take years to work out."
And—may we add without disre
spect to the Secretary of the Navy?—
with constructive vocabularios that it
will take years to work off.
