Also the Influen tial Republican leaders are of the same mind with respect to the meet ing of the lawmakers. There is a general feeling through out the Commonwealth that business has been so hectored by the national Congress that any further nagging by the State lawmaking body would be like placing the last straw on the camel's back. But notwithstanding this sentiment there are those who are rven now dis cussing more radical measures for the amelioration of mankind. These fad dists should have mighty little con sideration. They have had their day for more than two years and all that has happened in that period has been the upsetting of business and a gen eral disruption in every direction. What the people want is a quick getting back to solid ground and the proposal of a short session dealing only with the more important things demanding attention has met the ap proval of everybody who has real in terest in the welfare of the State. There is talk of a hundred-day ses sion. It might just as well be a sixty day session and better legislation would result from prompt action be ginning the day of the organization and continuing until final adJourn-> ment. Senator Penrose, who is wise in his day and generation, was asked yes terday concerning his opinion about the work to be done by the Legisla ture and replied: I prefer to leave the questions that must be decided by the Legis lature to the men who have been elected to decide those questions. If my advice shall be asked at any time I will give it as a citizen and will do what I can for the real benefit of the Commonwealth. Precisely. Senator Penrose knows quite well that under the new dispen sation of open primaries it is the busi ness of the Legislature to dispose of the matters which come before it and as a party leader he will keep hands off. He has had his vindication be fore the people and does not propose to invite criticism by attempting to di rect the lawmakers this winter. That is their job. There, are enough experienced men in the Senate and House to shape a program at the opening of the ses sion which will enable the Republican party to fulfill all its pledges and give the people what they expect in the matter of remedial legislation. There is no occasion, however, for any pre tentious scheme of lawmaking nor is there any excuse for playing to the galleries in the discussion of measures that are certain to fall by the way side. Hysteria and radicalism have had their innings and the foot of the Re publican party should come down hard upon any effort to prolong the foolish ness which has been so emphatically repudiated by the people at the polls. Uncle Sam's assumption of Germany's diplomatic duties with the countries with which she is at war Is gratefully acknowledged by Ernst Daenell, a Ger man professor. To him it is a symbol of the ties he feels bind the two nations. America's chief duty in this critical time is to maintain a strict neutrality —with malice toward none and charity for all those at war. UNCLE SAM'S OPPORTUNITY CLOSE upon the heels of the No vember election and the spirit of optimism which has over spread the country as a result of the significant showing of the ballots, come the most satisfactory reports of industrial revival and commercial ac tivity from every section of the coun try. As one trade agency suggests, the American manufacturers are bound to have more business thrust upon them as a result of the European war than they can handle, and if busi ness men are not scared by the talk of depression there is coming to the United States a great business awak ening, according to Dudley Bartlett, chief of the foreign trade bureau of the Commercial Museum at Philadel phia. Mr. Bartlett observed that so much had bt?en said about opportuni ties for trade with South America that business men were losing eight of op portunities in other directions. It Is his judgment that for quick business America must look to England, South <jfcfrica and Australia. More inquiries SATURDAY EVENING, arc coming from London at present than from any other country or city. Reports from Oh!o, Wisconsin and , Michigan indicate that while there was considerable pessimism during; the Kali regarding the outlook for future business the prospect is improving and changes for the better are already to be noted. In some sections the Im provement has been marked during the present month, which would indi cate a direct result of the swinging back to sanity in the conduct of na tional affairs. Experts of the bureau of Foreign j and Domestic Commerce at Washing ton are at work on reports obtained from every South American country with a view to suggesting to American, manufacturers a feasible way of win ning the enormous trade with those countries which Germany was forced to abandon at the outbreak of the | European war. Preliminary reports : show the situation to be greatly com- I plicated. With the exception of Argen- I tina every country is financially em- I barrassed to a greater or less extent. They are loaded with huge crops and mineral products usually absorbed by European manufacturers, now out of reach. As was indicated in a recent ad- 1 dress before our Chamber of Com- j merce by the head of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, the first step which America must take to secure South American trade is one in the direction of financing those countries which have been depending heretofore upon London. Loans made by this I country would mean reciprocal traie arrangements that would grow enor- J mously in volume from year to year, i However, the secretary of the 1 Chamber of Commerce of the United j States takes a somewhat different j view. He says there were many ar ticles of absolute necessity formerly shipped into South America from Ger many and which now must be ob tained in the United States. Trained salesmen, in his opinion, who know the language and customs of those countries, should have little trouble in obtaining these orders and the urgency of the case makes it cfertain ways of financing them will be found. These problems will be discussed at the trade extension meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Harrlsburg next Tuesday and the fact that busi ness men all over the United States are now considering ways and means of getting into touch with South America and other foreign countries gives added interest to the conference to be held here. Undo Sam's Increased prosperity will depend In large measure upon his ability to reach out into the markets' of the world and take over the busi ness which has now been abandoned by those countries warring with each other. There is little time left to give for the Thanksgiving ship that is to sail away to Belgium on Thanksgiving Day. Harrlsburg has done splendidly, but it i could do much more. Conditions are terrible In the little country which has been the theater of most of the great, battles since the first of August. Women and children are the principal j sufferers. They are homeless and with out food. We of this country should give while we thank the Almighty that we have been spared the horrors of the lands beyond the sea. HICRRICK IS COMING HOME AFTER distinguished and accept able service as the American ambassador to France, where he has given a ftne example of disinterested American friendship, My ron T. Herrlck will sail for home on Thanksgiving Day. His Democratic successor was appointed by President Wilson some time ago, but the exigen cie< of the situation created by the war made It advisable to continue Mr. Herrlck at this Important post until such time as it was considered safe to make the transfer. Even now it is a question whether the experienced am lossador, who is now about to return home, should not have been continued In the service of his country at Paris until the end of the war, but the policy of the present administration at Wash ington seems to be more partisan than patriotic in most cases. Mr. Herrlck will return to his own country with the increased respect of his fellow citizens because of the high character of his service and the admirable way in which he has met and discharged the exacting'duties de volving upon him in a delicate situa tion. Already the name of Herrick is mentioned among those likely to be considered by the great Republican party in 1916 for the Presidency. His large public experience at home and his international reputation have | caused him to be discussed very favor ably in connection with the highest office In the gift of the American peo ple. Unfortunately not all of the repre sentatives of the United States abroad are so highly regarded by the nations to which they have been accredited. Perhaps no feature of the present ad ministration at Washington has been so generally criticised as Its Indiffer ence to the interests of the country In the several important posts abroad. There has not been a time In the last : fifty years requiring such special fit-1 ness in our foreign representations as the present. Complications are con stantly arising and the treatment of these matters calls for great good sense and unusual ability. Mr. Herrlck stands out among all the ambassadors of this country as one supremely fitted for the trying duties and responsibilities of a difficult post. All street repairs and the resetting of curbing that has been displaced by the settling of the npw-filled ground will be hurried along so that the streets j . may be in llrst-class shape for the • | winter. City Commissioner Lynch has charge of the streets and public im- I provements, and has had large experl ( ence In work of this kind. He may be j trusted to see to it that all these mat | ters aro given attention while it is yet timo. j Governor-elect Brumbaugh is having a fine time fishing along the coral reefs of Florida. He will have ample opportunity between bites to cogitate lover the problems which will confront him when he becomes the head of the Commonwealth In January. Meanwhile those who are waiting for his return to tell him how to run the State gov ernment must .possess their souls In j patience. Incidentally he has some j views on that subject himself. Those who have been watching with ' Interest the planting of some fine trees 1 in tho river parks now realize how im portant Is the municipal nursery at Island Park. But thero Is still any amount of space for tree planting, and ! the dying giants in the central part of j I the city must have substitutes to take ] j their places within the next few years, j I EVENING CHAT i i j "vvnai was it all aumn'.' is a ques tion that lias been asked a thousand times concerning the Industrial Wel fare and Efficiency conference held this week in the State Capitol and which brought to the city no less than 2,000 persons, mostly at their own ex pense. This question con best be an swered in the words of Dr. John Price Jackson, who was the moving spirit in the conference. "The Idea is to stimulate Interest In movements that make for safety, welfare, economy and efficiency, and the greatest of these' is safety," was the terse way in which the official who has created tho De partment of Labor and Industry put; lit to me to-day. "There aro many! ' people who are willing and even anx i lous to aid and whose help would be Invaluable, but they need some defi- 1 nite lines to work on. Safety is some thing which everyone can preach and get others to practice by setting an example. The conference enabled many excellent ideas to be put for- Iward." A high compliment was paid to-day to Harrlsburg for the manner in which its people, its businessmen and its traction company, electric cotn j pany, manufacturers and others had i backed up the safety first movement by W. H. Cameron, the secretary and j treasurer of the National Council for 1 Industrial Safety. He comes from Chicago and has been preaching safety for years, being the chief among the men who have been endeavoring to in culcate the idea that it is better to be safe than sorry. "I have been much interested at the manner in which the people of the city have shown their interest in the conference and what it preaches," said Mr. Cameron. "The conference was remarkable for the big people who attended and for the fact that so many big corpora tions sent men here. The exhibits made by the Harrlsburg concerns show that they appreciate whkt safety means, and I think that with your police force, firemen and teachers ail endeavoring to demonstrate the im portance of being on the safe side, the coming generation ought to be well Instructed. Harrisburg ought to have a live, working organization that preaches safety first in every line of industry, indoors and out, and it has gotten a good start." Only those who figured In the con ference can appreciate the people who constituted it. The United States Steel Corporation, for instance, had I a score or more men here and the Pennsylvania Railroad as many more. Great big concerns were represented by their officials or by safety experts, in many cases sending a couple of men. The conference was so arranged that ideas for safety for every general line of industry could be discussed, the branches ranging from blast fur naces to textile factories. In addition every labor union from the Brother- I hood of Locomotive Engineers to the butchers, bakers and bartenders, trol leymen and bricklayers, cranemen, to "movie" operators, had delegates j here, and there were also many men and women interested in uplift, wel ! fare, sociological, philanthropic and other organizations who were inter ested auditors pf the speeches. A good many people are wondering why the water meters are being read this month instead of in March, as has been the rule for many years, and some of them are inclined to argue about it when the reader comes around. The reason is very simple. The present fiscal year will end on De cember 31, the Clark third class city commission government act having made the official years correspond with the calendar year, as it should I be. Tho result is that all books and everything else will be closed as of the last day of the year. This will also affect other branches. The sudden drop in November tem perature has had the effect of boost ing overcoat sales and the clothing men say that in spite of the bad busi ness times, there is a demand for the good warm coats. "People are not running wild for fancy coats. They are buying serviceable ones and thoy are paying for them, too. Of course, we have to carry some people, but as a rule, we have found cash paying to be pretty general," was the way one man put it. . "This week has been notable for some of the finest sunsets I have seen for a long time," said the amatour meteorologist last evening. "They have been of that peculiarly gorgeous type for which the Susquehanna valley Is noted and the heavens have be»n bright with red and pink, turning to light green and gray and then to tho purples. It has been a great pleasure to see the sunsets from the Capitol or from Allison Hill." Edward E. Jones, member of tho Legislature from Susquehanna county, was here yesterday looking up quar ters for his fifth legislative session and was warmly greeted by his friends. Mr. Jones 1B best known as "Dirt i Road" Jones because of his success ful advocacy of the bills for improve ment of dirt roads, and It Is a pretty safe bet that he will be chairman of the roads committee in the coming session. Mr. Jones is also a farmer anrt dairyman and Is away up on such ma.ters. The giant locomotives placed on tho siding of the Pennsylvania Railroad to form part of the safety exhibit have attracted the attention of many visit ors to the city, including traveling men, who have noticed them near the station, while railroadmen from far and near have clambered Into their cabs. The engines are the largest jever turned out for the Pennsylvania or for any other road. Thero are I some long«r ones In service, but not as heavy or of as great driving power.

HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH EXPENSE ACCOUNT UW NOT OBSERVED Some Candidates Have Failed to File Oaths With State ments They Have Sent FLINN INSPECTS THE WRECK Plans to Keep the Washington Party Machine in Safety After the Cold Winter Over half of tho expense accounts sent to the State Capitol for filing un der the act of 1906 requiring publicity of campaign expenditures have been returned so that they may be correct ed and put into the form required by law. The number found defective in largor than ever noted before and it has also been noticed that more in quiries as to the manner of filing ac counts have been made than usual. In most instances where it was nec essary to send back the statements of expenditures the candidates had failed to swear to them us required by law, an apparent oversight, as the rest of the accounts were generally found to be in form. In instances the re ceipts for sums of money were not at tached and some reports were too gen eral to meet the requirements of the act. ' Only a few of the reports tiled have been confined to contributions to State committees. Most of the candidates set out their expenditures in detail. The officials of the State committees are now working out the statements of their campaign expenditures and they will be filed within the next ten days. The time for filing expense ac counts will expire on December 3 and the candidate who falls to file may be stopped from taking the oath of of fice. —Preparations for the session of the Legislature which will begin on Janu ary 5 have been commenced at the State Capitol and tons of supplies are iiow being laid In for the printing and business of the two houses. All repairs and alterations have been made in the legislative halls and com mittee rooms which have been used by departmental offices since the last general assembly will be vacated next month. Governor Tener will prepare his final message soon and officials who report to the Legislature have started to compile their statements. "William Flinn, E. A. Van Valken burg and other Washington party men held a conference at Philadelphia last night to devise ways and means to keep the party organization in cam phor until it is needed again. The machine, like that of the Democrats, is undergoing repairs for internal ex plosions and for the stopping up of shot holes in its hull. It is Fllnn's idea to have it ready to take out again next year and to employ it as vigor ously as its system will stand two years hence. In connection with the meeting of the Bull Moose chiefs at Philadelphia yesterday it is stated that Giftord Plnchot will file an expense account showing that he spent about $40,000 of his patrimony for the campaign and that Flinn put In $20,000. The Wash ington party state committee did not have much to spend except from these two generous souls. 'l'he talk of the state is the speech of ex-Judge James Gay Gordon at the Clover Club and it is freely predicted that it will not take much to start something for a reorganization of the Democratic party and the throwing out of the present bosses. It is the inten tion of Palmer. Morris and the rest to hang on so that they can flourish around in 1916. In this connection it is interesting to note that the Hoskins wing of the reorganized Democracy in Philadel phia has named committees on a Jackson day dinner and that the other wing will also have a dinner. Friends of Michael J. Ryan will give him a luncheon, at which there will be some speeches that will probably intensify the rent in the Democratic hulk. Fred Ehrhardt, the ranking mem ber of the Republicans In the House, took his boom for Speaker to Phila delphia yesterday and made quite a fuss over it. Ehrhardt plans to chase "Oick" Baldwin and R. P. Habftood about the state in corralling "country" members. The Philadelphia Record of to-day says: "The complete collapse of the Roosevelt party strength In this city was further revealed yesterday when Deputy Prothonotary Sol. Rains in making public the completed details of the local official count of the recent election showed that McCormlck had polled fewer votes on the Washington party ticket than he received in sup port from the faction-torn Democracy. McCormlck's vote was: Washington, 29.551; Democratic, 33,829. The de tails also indicate that the Rflosevelt workers were not loyal to McCor mlck's candidacy, for Plnchot polled 34,446 votes on the Washington party ticket. 4.515 in the Bull Moose column and 1,483 as the Roosevelt Progres sive ticket. William Draper Lewis was given 614 votes as the Roosevelt Pro gressive candidate for Governor, and Judge Brumm had 229 votes as the Bull Moose nominee." Senator-elect Snyder, of Blair, spent $395.89, but his Democratic opponent says he did not spend a cent. H. J. Dumn, Democratic chairman of Berks, has given notice that he is going to quit. When a Democratic chairman quits in Democratic Berks right after ft campaign ends there Is something doing. Luzerne Democrats left Just three Republicans remain in the county offices just filled at WHkes-Barre. Montgomery Republlcansspent 14,949 In the campaign, of which Insurance Commissioner Charles Johnson gave $1,020. Dr. Brumbaugh and Senator Pen rose will be given a reception by the TTnion League at Philadelphia next month. Colonel Sheldon Potter, active in re form matters In Philadelphia, will re~ tire from council and not even run foi mayor. The Democratic line-up for the non partisan ticket for councilmen next year appears to be: For mayor, W. L. Gorgas; for commissioners, John K. Royal and O. M. Copelln.

TWILIGHT OK THE POLITICAL QUACKS , [From the New York Sun.] The people of Wisconsin voted by large majorities against all the ten constitutional amendments proposed this year. They voted against the easier amendment of the State Consti tution, against the Initiative and refer endum, against the recall of elective of ficers (not including judges), against Insurance by the State, against the sub mission of constitutional amendments by the Legislature to the people upon petition to the former. In short, the State so long the forcing bed and ex periment station of "direct" govern ment and newfangled nostrums Is dis tinctly "reactionary." So is Oregon, its only rival in the political patent medi cine habit. 13.00—York and Return—93.oo Next Sunday. Pennsylvania Rail road. Special train leaves Harrisburg 5:45 a. m. A long day in the greatest American City.—-Advertisement. and "The dream," by Alicia Ramsey, opening novelette in December Young's Magazine, is a most unusual story. Tom Danvers from boyhood is haunted by u dream that stimulates his Imagination and eludes his compre hension. This deals with a country road along which, in fancy, he tra vels at dawn to a strange house where he finds a letter addressed to himself. At first he does not get beyond this point and naturally curiously clamors for more. At school because of his dream he is a hero among the boys. In early manhood he becomes engaged to Madeleine Cooper, a beautiful but poor orphan. He Is about to tell her of .his dream when she, believing It to be a secret he wishes to withhold, re fuses to listen, thus proving complete confidence In her fiancee. After the wedding she learns of the dream and becomes greatly interested. The young couple, deeply In love, spend their honeymoon In the woods. After several weeks have elapsed, the bride sends her hlsband up to town to see his mother. He go?s to his wife's room to reassure her but finds the place deserted. He goes downstairs ond encounters Madeleine entering the living room In a condition which plain ly Indicates that she has been out of doors. Their dramatic interview cul minates in Danvers' learning that the woman he loves has ,lupt murdered a former lover. In the home of this lover she has left a letter addressed to herself by the murdered man. The husband, realizing he must reclaim this Incriminating evidence before the police finds it, hastens out into the |dawn, along a country road and sud denly becomes aware that he Is fol lowing In reality the pathway of his dream. The end of his quest and the adjustment between husband and wife Is absorbing. AN EVENING THOUGHT Jesus said unto them. Did ye never read in the scriptures.
