THE CITY TV PICTURES
THE Art Commission of tho city
of New York has gone into the
business of preserving land
marks. Not literally, for if that
were the case the Astor House might
not have been torn down, as well as
many other famous old structures.
The preservation, therefore, is limited
to what can be accomplished by pho
tography. As a result of this new ac
tivity fifty photographs have just been
received at the City Hall offices.
That the preservation by camera of
the very old houses of New York has
not been any too early may be Judged
from the fact that three of the build
ings included in the collection have
been torn down since they were pho
tographed. More than a dozen of those
selected for the collection are likely to
go at any time. The Art Commission
has secured but one example of an
ancient Bronx homestead—the Van
Cortlandt manor house, which was
built in 1748. Just below Spuyten
Duyvil creek, at the extremity of
Manhattan Island, they obtained a
photograph of a typical Dutch farm
house which was built in 1784. This
house is stated to be the only gen
uine farmhouse of an early date on
Manhattan Island, and it is proposed
to move it for permanent safekeeping
to the new Isham Park.
Six splendid examples of the com
fortable farmhouse of Dutch architec
ture, which was common when agri
culture was the chief occupation of
tho residents in the great territory
now comprised in Brooklyn, are in
cluded in the collection. One of the
most wonderfully constructed houses
of this type still stands in what was
formerly called the Flatlands. It has
attracted the attention of architects
for the neatness and harmony of its
Dutch design.
These fifty photographs of some of
the ancient buildings in the different
boroughs of New York represent but
the nucleus of what the members of
the Art Commission hope will lead to
a large and comprehensive collection
of interesting landmarks. Apart from
the historical interest attaching to
such a collection, the pictures will also
possess a genuine architectural value.
This is a work that Harrlsburg
might copy with much profit. The
Dauphin County Historical Society has
r limited collection of historic pictures
and the Capitol Park Extension Com
mission has had photographs made
of many old buildings, but no attempt
has been made toward the preserva
tion of a complete set of pictures of
ancient structures that are almost
daily giving way to more modern
ones. Not one of these old houses
should be removed until a record of
Its existence and appearance is filed
away in the photographic archives of
the city. How valuable such a collec
tion would be in the future may be
judged from the interest that at pres
ent would surround a series of pictures
covering the past century in Harrls
burg.
President Wilson's candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania has assured him
that al! that Is needed now to restore
prosperity is confidence and good crops.
He probably meant a good crop of votes
for the White House twins.
We have no doubt that the coming of
Mr. Manning, the landscape engineer of
the city, will clear the way for a com
pletion of the work on the parkways

to tho department activities. Thousands

ECONOMY AT HOME
HETTY GREEN, richest and per
haps thriftiest woman in Amer
ica, is quoted as saying that she
never orders anything from a
store by telephone except in case of
emergency, because by personal atten
tion to her shopping she is certain of
getting 100 cents' worth for each dol
lar she spends. Mrs. Green is a busy
womun with plenty of money, but she
is not so busy making money that she
permits herself to waste that which
she already has.
"A lack of knowledge of the value
of money on the part of women is the
most powerful enemy to domestic hap
piness that exists," declared Judge
Arthur Lacy, of the Domestic Rela
tions Court, in Detroit recently 1 when
he made public figures showing that
26 per cen£. of the cases that come
before his court are due to extrava
gance on the part of wives and that In
another 49 per cent of the cases in
which faults of both man and wife are
responsible extravagance of the wife
is the principal trouble.
We are proud of the American
woman, her intelligence, her charm
and her achievements, but it must be
admitted that in too many instances
she is far from a careful saver or a
wise spender.
In most cases, probably, this is due
to faulty training in early life as to the
value of money and the importance of
spending it wisely and saving a por
tion of income systematically.
It is not entirely a love of ease and
luxury that lays our women open to
the charge of extravagance, although
that is an important factor in the
case. Perhaps a more frequent cause
is inefficiency on the business side of
housekeeping.
Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the
National Housewives' League, endorses
this declaration of one housekeeper:
I believe that my husband could
run our home better than I if he
were compelled to do it, because he
would run it as he runs his busi
ness.
Charge accounts at tho stores, or
dering goods over the telephone and
free delivery of even the smallest
packages are all fruitful causes of
extravagance and higher cost of living.
Alfred D. Woodruff, of the New
York City Bureau of Food Supply,
gives a startling account of what hap
pens when the grocer "charges it."
"We have found," says Mr. Woodruff,
"that only about 30 per cent, pay
their bills promptly in thirty days;
28 per cent, take from one to three
months to pay; 40 per cent, never pay
in full, and 2 per cent, never pay at
all." With such drawbacks to the
credit system, it is not astonishing that
grocers go bankrupt in spite of high
nominal profits. Mr. Woodruff thinks
that if women will pay as much atten
tion to domestic economy as to "dress,
bridge parties and tango teas;" if they
will pay cash, buy in large quantities
and test short weights, "not less than
25 per cent, might be deducted from
the gross profits," with corresponding
benefit to the consumer and his sav
ings bank account.
This matter of commonsense thrift
does not apply only to the city house
keeper. It is of importance to the
farmer's wife as well. As James J.
Hill put it in a speech to agriculturists:
When I am talking to the farmer
I remember that the farmer's wife
is one-half of the family, and she
is the bigger half, too. The farm
er's success or failure, his going up
or down in his scale of accomplish
ment, depends upon her.
A helpful, thrifty wife, who is
conserving his capital, his health,
his earning ability, not to mention
the pocketbook. closing the ave
nues of waste, will make him suc
ceed. He can't help succeeding,
while with a wasteful, careless
wife, he might as well give up.
These are facts. Make the test—
take two men, one with the rigiit
kind of a wife and one who has the
wasteful, careless kind, and see how
real it is in the actual progress of
that family.
The new domestic science course in
the high school should be designed
quite as much to teach household
economy as to instruct pupils in mod
ern methods of food preparation and
home conduct.
In a labored editorial, this morning,
the newspaper apologist of President
Wilson in this city tries to excuse him
for not participating in the great me
morial services at Arlington Cemetery
to-day. Not a word is said about the
fact that he spent last Memorial Day
motoring in Virginia, nor is there any
allusion to the other fact that he was
almost dragged to Gettysburg for a
few minutes during the great reunion
of the armies of the North and South
last July.
A. Mitchell Palmer has dumped upon
Roland S. Morris, the chairman of the
State Democratic committee, the burden
of dispensing the rest of the patronage in
Pennsylvania. Of course, Palmer and
McCormick will have nothing more to
do with the appointments; of course,
not, and Morris must take the kicks.
But the fellow who gets left will be
hard to convince that the White House
twins were not fesponsible for the ap
pointments.
Business men In Pennsylvania and
elsewhere will doubtless crowd into the
polling places next November to endorse
by their votes an administration which
has shown no appreciation of business
conditions or of business needs, but
goes merrily on its way ripping up
business, putting worklngmen Into Idle
ness and destroying the confidence of
the people so that utter ruin stares
many an employer squarely In the face.
President Wilson will not be at Ar
lington to-day helping to honor the
heroic dead of the nation. He is too
I busy developing more theories of gov
ernment, which are Interesting from
the standpoint of academic discussion
but utterly useless for the up-buildlng
of a prosperous people.
Multimillionaire candidates for public
office will hardly be taken seriously
when they tell worried business men
and manufacturers that they don't
know what they are talking about.
Judge Ben Llndsey is the only man
of courage In all Colorado. All other
judges and lawyers are tools of the
corporations. This must be true, for
Lindsey says so himself.
I EVENING CHATI
The idea of thinning out the ranks
of the chanticleers on June 1 and of
penning' up those planned to be re
tained for breeding' purposes which
was published in this column a week
2£° ln „ the form of a letter of W.
Theo. Wittm&n, the poultry expert,
and the endorsement of A. L. Mar
tin, deputy secretary of agriculture,
has been given hearty approval by
two of the leading farmers' organiza
tions at Stroudsburg. The suggestion
or Mr. Wittman met with commenda
tion on Capitol Hill, where the results
of observations by scientists have been
Cosely followed and at the meeting
mi. j farmers' institute people on
Thursday, the motion to designate
June 1 as "Rooster Day" was unani
mously adopted and a number of
agriculture experts gave It as their
opinion that nothing better could be
™ ne ' or the poultry of the state.
The plan suggested is to end the
hatching season on June 1 and turn
, i.,. s loose - penning up, selling of,
killing off the roosters.' It is figured
out that the hens lay better ana give
better eggs in the summer time and
that the roosters are more or less of
a nuisance when running with flocks
in summer time.
• The year book of the Engineers' So
ciety for 1914, just issued, shows the
considerable place in the community
tilled by this organization and the
number of men active in affairs in
the city who are members. Governor
John Iv. Tener has the unusual dis
tinction of being the only honorary
member among 721 men connected
with the society. The list of publi
cations, lectures and activities of the
society during the year is something
that not only the society but the city
should be proud of.
National Guardmen of this city who
have been regretting that the camp of
instruction at Mt. Gretna has been
given up, are now wondering what
will be the effect of the present state
of military affairs on the annual en
campments of the Guard. The First
Squadron of Calvary and the Fourth
Brigade have been assigned to attend
the maneuvers near Washington and
as yet nothing has been received that
would indicate that they are not go
ing to be held, but the situation is
precarious and the Mexican situation
may upset ail calculations. The places
for the encampments of the three
brigades have not been selected as
yet. General Stewart said vesterdav:
"Only the future can tell what will be
done.'"
Residents of South Harrlsburg are
commencing to perk up and take
notice in regard to paving now that
the river dam and the river front wall
are assuming shape in their part of
the city. Aside from Race and Cam
eron streets there is very little paving
in the great First ward, one of the
largest in area in the whole city. It
Is commencing to develop rapidly and
there is talk of more paving as the
permanent improvements are being
made.
Folks up North Third street, away
up, are taking steps to get rid of the
mosquitoes which used to breed in
the low portions at the foot of the
bluff above Division street. This has
been systematically tilled up and re
cently some people went out and
drenched some places where rain
formerly collected with coal oil. Hoff
man's Woods has a number of marshy
places which are choice mosquito
breeders and which could be elimin
ated with profit.

OUR HEROES
By J. Howard Wert
Honor the men who died for us! En
roll
Their names high on the scroll of
deathless Fame's
Immortal band; Through them our
banner waves
Unsullied, glorious In majestic
might,—
Symbol of Freedom pure and grand.
Nor less ,
Is honor due the, men whose whiten
ing heads
And feebler steps proclaim the march
of age,
But who have hearts as young, as
fully fir'd
With patriotic warmth as in those
days
When fully fifty cycling years agone
They dar'd the foeman's withering
fire and won
Our Nation's strife for Union, Free
dom, God.
"HE WHO IS ANGRY, ETC."
[From the Shamokin Dispatch.]
"Hold your temper," the advice
given by Dr. Samuel Dixon, the state
health officer, is full of good, hard,
practical sense. A display of temper
shows a lack of self-control and is an
evidence Oif weakness. More than all
that, it burns up the nervous force and
unfits a person for effective work.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad."
"MERELY PSYCHOLOGICAL"
The President told the business men
that the business depression was purely
"psychological."—Washington Dispatch.
The mills are closed, the stocks un
bought, no orders for the loom.
Employes come In every day and ask,
"Can't you resume?"
But Congress gives another turn
To business prods, and what you earn
Goes glimmering as goods, all free,
Come pouring in from Germany
But business isn't bad at all, you must
be brave, you know;
Depression's "psychological," the White
House tells you so.
II
The railroads find that freights are few
demands beneath the mark.
And banks are fearful on what scheme
their moneys to embark.
While Congress keeps up its abuse,
We vainly crv "Oh, what's the use?"
As exports fall and revenues
Grow smaller e'en with income dues!
You're wrong, you only "think" you're
poor, that business has the itch
"Psychology" is all to blame, think
"White House" and you're rich!

Machine Will Take Revenge on
Judge Carman in Time Honor
ed Democratic Style
Partisans of the "White House
twins" plan to get revenge on Judge
John M. Garman, the Democratic
leader of Luzerne county, for the beat
ing given to the Democratic machine
slate in the big anthracite coai coun
ty by contesting the elections of Dan
L. Hart and Prank Gillespie to seats
in the Democratic State committee.
The Palmer-McCormlck faction is
somewhat of an adept in that line,
haying last year cut off the heads of
"Billy" Brennan and his State commit
teemen from Allegheny and seating
instead the Joe Guffey State commit
teemen. v
In no county in the State did Dem
ocrats contest more bitterly White
Houso dictation than in Luzerne and
the Garman men defeated the slate
all along the line. Hart and Gillespie
were chosen State committeemen and
it is the plan to make a contest be
fore the State committee. The ma
chine being in control of the commit
tee, will throw out the men op
posed to White House slates for Penn
sylvania Democrats.
Folks at various Democratic centers
are awaiting with great interest the
results of the Democratic primary on
secretary of internal af
fairs and congrcss-at-
Macliine large because there is a
11ns Half chance that the Ryan
tnc Slate faction may have as
many men on the ticket
as the machine managed
to nominate. It appears to be prob
able that W". N. AlcNair has been
named for secretary, notwithstanding
the fact that Palmer and McCormick,
with whom he trained until he could
stand it no longer, did all they could
to defeat him. Late returns indicate
that the Ryan people may have nomi
nated two and even three candidates
out of the four. It will be funny to
see what kind of a deal these candi
dates get from the White House twins
with their control of the State chair
man and the machinery and cash box.
Harry E. Lanius, of Spring Grove,
the blind member of the last House,
was renominated in a canter in his
district in York coun
ty at the recent pri
mary. There is no one Lauius Is
opposing him on the Certain to
Republican and Wash- Come Back
ington tickets and he
will get many votes
from the people in those parties. On
the Democratic ballot he received
about a 3 to 1 vote and since the pri
mary has been given assurances of
strong support. Robert S. Frey, of
Wrightsville, was renominated in the
second district by the Republicans and
is being boomed for the speakership.
The time for filing expense accounts
for the primary election of May 19
will expire on Wednesday, June 3, and
it will be unlawful to ad
minister an oath of office
to any person who may Kxpenso
be elected and who has Account
not filed expense accounts Period
for the primary and gen
eral elections. Candidates
for offices to be voted for by the elec
tors of the State at large must file with
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
and for other offices with the clerk of
quarter sessions courts.
There is a provision regarding filing
by candidates for district offices which
says that "if any account concerns
expenses in regard to candidates -yvho
do not all reside in the same county,
such accounts shall be filed In each
county in which such candidate (not
being a candidate for an office to be
vote for by the electors of the State at
large) resides."
Steps were taken last night and to
day to hurry along the results of the
official count of the primary vote in
a number of the coun
ties which are still un-
Hurryins' filed at the Capitol.
Along the Telegrams were sent rep-
Returns resenting the urgency of
the situation in view of
the fact that the State
committees must meet on June 3 and
lists of men elected are to be certified.
Four meetings of State committees
are scheduled for this city next week,
the Republican, Democratic and Pro
hibition committees on Wednesday
and the Washington committee on
Thursday.

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL NOT'
BE AT ARLINGTON
[William Perrlne In Phlla. Bulletin]
Our veterans that still are with us
have become, not less than tbe mem
ories of those soldiers that perished In
the Civil War or have since passed
away, the objects of grateful benedic
tion. The of their ages Is now
past three score and ten. The best
service that they can perform to-day,
as most of them now do, ls-4o use the
Influence, of their presence, their ex
ample and their precept to bury such
lingering traces of the passions and
hates of the Civil War as have not yet
become wholly extinct, and to reunite
North and South forever in an invin
cible and imperishable frnternlty of de
votion to the Union as it is. They have
lived to see the realization of most of
this blessing, so long prayed for by
good men in both the North and the
South; and when they here bend over
the graves of the comrades in the past,
it is no longer as Northern men, but as
Americans to whom every other Ameri
can the laud over who is now faithful
to the flag is as a kinsman in the pa
triotic brotherhood of tho republic.
* • * *
But there is an unpleasant and alto
gether regrettable incident which will
mar the spirit of tho ceremonies to
day at the one place where, more than
any other, they might be expected to
be observed In the strain of an ex
alted tribute—tho great cemetery on
Arlington Heights. There, in a vast
multitude of graves, lie many of the
humbliest and many of the foremost
soldiers of the Union; the whole scene
at any time Is profoundly impressive;
It Is truly the bivouac of the dead on
fame's eternal camping ground, and in
tho gentle silence of the spring, with
in sight of the capital of the nation
and the broad flowing waters of tho
Botomac, it Is rich in suggestion of
historic deeds and In an atmosphere
singularly pervaded with nature's hope
or promise of an immortal re-awaken
ing Years ago there was constructed
within it a sylvan-like temple, such as
there might have been in the Athenian
groves of old—a forum consecurated to
f .he offices and rites of oratory in com
nemoratlon and panegyric. No one
who had ever tarred on the tranquil
slopes of Arlmgton could fail, if be
were susceptible to no more than even
the ordinary emotions of our kind, to
be raised in soul and sympathy and to
feel that it Is well and touching that
such pains have been taken to pre
serve the memory of men whose
soldiership and whose attachment to
their cause so often exemplified some
of the manliest and choicest virtues of
our race.
