TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I
TENER AND CONSERVATION
NOW that the campaign is a
thing ot' the past, with all its
misrepresentation, tho position
which Pennsylvania has taken
and for many years held In the lore
front of conservation of natural re
sources will be recognized throughout
the country. This Commonwealth was
| an early exponent of forest protection,
the Pennsylvania Forestry Association,
with one exception, being the oldest
in continual existence In the country.
More than a million q,cres have been
Teclainied lor the State forest reserves
and the administration of the Penn
sylvania forests is admitted to be in
advance of any other State in its busi
ness and educational methods.
Governor Tener in his last message
to the Legislature recommended still
further appropriations for the care of
tho forests. With a view to tho es
tablishing of forest nurseries and the
Increase of forest areas, he approved a
bill passed by the last session of the
I Legislature creating an auxiliary for
est reserve which is conceded to be a
decided step in advance of other Com
monwealths.
Nor has it been forgotten that nine •
years* ago Governor Ponnypacker. In I
addressing the Legislature, called at
tention to the necessity of caring for
the water resources of the State,
which recommendations resulted in the
creation of the important Water Sup
ply Commission. Under his successors,
especially Governor John K. Tener,
the powers of this commission have
been greatly Increased. In his mes
sage to the Legislature of 1913 the
present Governor discussed at some
length the necessity for conserving the
■water power of the State. He es
pecially uttered a caution against the
enactment of any law that would in
terfere with the great public health
program now being carried forward.
As a result of this recommendation
there was passed a law defining the
water resources of the Commonwealth
and providing for the taking of an in
ventory thereof. Under this act of
the Legislature the State Water Supply
Commission was directed to study,
consider and determine upon a public
policy with regard to the equitable
distribution of the water to be derived
from the water resources of the Com
monwealth. The results of this in
vestigation will be presented to the
'next session of the Legislature.
Under the Tener administration re
markable headway has been made in
the conservation of the water supply
and in the prevention of serious en
croachment upon river channels.
Governor Tener's interest in the con
servation of a.l the material resources
of the Commonwealth hus .lso been
shown in the creation of the Public
Utilities Commission, the Industrial
Accident Commission and his interest
in the workingman's compensation
bill, the great constructive work
through the Department of Labor and
Industry, the famous Department of
Health, the widening of the State aid
In promoting scientific agriculture, his
strong recommendation for a State
fair, and hfs intelligent discussion of
the need of a larger measure of home
rule for cities of the third class, which
Includes all the cities of Pennsylvania
outside of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
and Scranton.
These facts were not overlooked by
the voters in the recent election, and
while they were somewhat obscured
by cuttlefish methods, the people were
fair and willing to recognize the great
progress that has been made under
the Tener policies.
Governor Tener is manifestly of the
same opinion as the Governor-elect
with respect to useless laws and the
lumbering of the statute books with un
necessary legislation, for he concluded
his last message to the Legislature
with the earnest recommendation that
only such laws be enacted as would
promote the best Interests of the Com
monwealth. Governor-elect Brum
baugh has expressed himself In simi
lar terms and Republican leaders are
also of one mind on this subject. They
believe the time has come to repeal
rather than enact laws.
Now that thero is still another oppor
tunity to procure large quantities of
first-class material for the filling out
of the River. Front through the excava
tion for the proposed union freight sta
tion In South Harrlsburg, there should
be no delay in formulating such plans
as may be necessary to utilize this ma
terial. Now that the River Front work
i has progressed to the stage where the
, average citizen can readily understand
the scheme of Improvement, there Is
more general interest than ever before.
TUESDAY EVENING,
But some definite, specific plan must be
adopted for the uniform treatment of
the slope so that when the work is fin
ished thero will be no reason to regret
the expenditure of time and labor.
MACK AND THE TARIFF
MAYOR BLANKENBURG. of
Philadelphia, has received re
plies to letters addressed to
fifty representative business
men of Philadelphia, asking them
their opinions on the present state of
trade and prospects for the future.
Nearly all of them are hopeful of a
decided improvement after January 1.
But a big majority lay the present de
gression largely to the change in the
tariff and say the bope of the country
after the present Var in Europe is
ovcy lies in a revision upward.
Strange to say, this is also the view
of Norman E. Mack, national chair
man of the Democratic party until
President Wilson chose his own party
manager. Mr. Mack expresses his
opinion on the tariff as follows:
To enable us to make them, and
insure the American business man
against the difficulties, uncertain
ties and losses inseparable from
starting a new industry from the
ground up, is the wheel to which
Congress should put Us shoulder
when the Session begins next De
cember. The only way to do it is
to encourage new enterprise. Tho
manufacturer is entitled to his
free raw materials, so that he may
have easy prices on his side In buy
ing the raw products from which
his commodities are made. He is
also entitled to all the reasonable
safeguards he can have in the way
of readjustment of such tariff
schedules as it shall be shown nec
essary to revise to meet the re
quirements of the new situation.
Ex-Chairman Mack can hardly bo
accused of playing politics In behalf
of the Republican party and his views
are diametrically opposed to the Dem
ocratic charge that Republicans have
been using the protective tariff plea
only for the purpose of attracting
votes. Doubtless his ideas will receive
small consideration at Washington,
but Democrats the country over are
coining to understand that the business
of the nation Is vitally associated with
the tariff and that the Underwood law
is fundamentally wrong.
There are distinct indications that
tlie proposed additions to the Capitol
will be widely favored over the State.
HEAIJXH AND SHOPPING
THE "shop early" movement has
reached such proportions that
the Outlook, In a recent issue,
devotes a half column Of edi
torial space to urging Its readers not
to postpone their Christmas buying
until the last frenzied rush that pre
cedes the great holiday. Now coine->
Director Harte, of the Philadelphia
Department of Health, telling the peo
ple of that city that for purely selfish
reasons they ought to "shop early."
He says. In part:
It gives the patrons far better
service in the stores, relieves them
of much inconvenience and discom
fort and avoids the risk of their
taking "cold" or catching contagi
ous diseases from being huddled to
gether in crowded stores and
breathing the overheated and viti
ated air of such places when their
resistive powers are at a low ebb
from fatigue, nervous exhaustion
and the irritability attendant upon
late Christmas shopping.
Young chil iren, tnd especially
babies in arms, should not be taken
on shopping tours. These little
ones are much safer and far bet
ter off when away from crowds,
especially at this season of year,
when the common contagious dis
eases of children, such as diphtheria
and scarlet fever, are most preva
lent.
The public can render a generous
service to the large army of sales
people by doing its Christmas shop
ping early in the season and early
In the day. Without this co-op
eration the Christmas season is far
from being one of merriment and
good cheer for most of these busy
people, whose physical endurance
is often pushed far beyond the
healthful limit by the severe strain,
mental and physical, of trying to
please hurrying customers during
the holiday rush. /
This throws some new lights on the
movement and it sums up very effect
ively what has been said previously on
the subject. There are those in Har
risburg who might read with profit
what Directbr Harte has written es
pecially for Philadelphians. It applies
just as strongly to this city.
The Austrlans have lost 900,000 men
since the beginning of the war, it is
said. If this keeps up how is Steelton
expected to show an increase next cen
sus?
NEXT YEAR'S PROSPECTS
THE announcement that the
Pennsylvania Railroad is mak
ing ready to build its big freight
station in the lower end of
the city next Spring and summer
not only means increased work this
winter for the men who must pre
pare the ground for the improvement,
but that a large number of Harrisburg
workmen will be engaged in construc
tive work in 1915.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is ex
pending nearly if not quite a million
dollars in this Improvement. It means
that the heads of that big corporation
are confident of the future. Even in
times of financial depression they fore
see the heavy swing back of the pen
dulum when the tide of prosperity
shall begin to flow, as it now seems
to be doing. This is an'encouraging
prospect for the coming year, and the
confidence of the officials of the Penn
sylvania Bystem is further illustrated
by the fact that they are preparing
to complete the nearly mile-long Cum
berland Valley bridge across the Sus
quehanna river here, together with
other work of a constructive nature
begun in the lower end of town.
The two enterprises noted will give
work to hundreds upon hundreds of
Harrlsburgers next year. They will
cause to be paid out vast sums every
week in wages here. Businessmen in
general ought to take their keynote
for the coming year from the big rail
road systems, which, even while they
are laboring against depression and
the handicap of decreased earnings,
are doing their best for upbuild
ing of their plants In this city and are
spending their money to pave the way
for efficient sorvlce in the future when
a return of prosperity shall put press
ure on their local terminals.

i EVENING CHAT I
The Lincoln day poem written for
the Telegraph last February by Mrs.
Anna H. Wood, ot' this city, is now be
ing taught to thousands of school
children in New York city. The se
lection was made without the knowl
edge of Mrs. Wood, who was very
much surprised to learn that the
school authorities had noticed It In the
Telegraph and appreciating its merit
had placed it on the official list. She
did not know until some time after the
poem had been read to the youngsters
and they were reciting it that it had
been chosen. Poems like that written
by Mrs. Wood have been a feature of
holidays in the Telegraph for years
and have attracted wide comment.
The Thanksgiving poem has been re
printed by a number of newspapers
in this State and elsewhere.
Another contributor to the Tele
graph's columns has been attracting
attention. She is Mrs. Edna Groff
Diehi, who wrote a song, with music,
which has been given a prominent
place in the current number of the
Mother's Magazine, published In New
York.
Golfers of the Country Club of Har
risburg will have their second annual
dinner at the clubhouse at LucKnow
on Thursday night and there will bo
some tall golf talk. There are almost
100 members of the club playing golf
this year, a larger number than ever
before and Interest has been notable.
In addition to matches with teams
from other clubs the members have
enjoyed contests on a "Goat Board,"
on which every member has a place
which he must defend.
Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of Jthe
State Game Commission, does .not
agree with Horace W. Schantz, the
State senator-elect from I<ehigh coun
ty, that the hunters' license act has
not benefited the farmer and will be
prepared to put on his war togs if an
effort is made by the first Republican
senator from Lehigh to repeal the act.
The doctor says that the law has been
of great value to farmers In enabling
them to identify the gunners who
cross over their lands and that ho
does not agree that the act has made
trouble. The experience of other States
shows that it has been beneficial, he
asserts, and when the hundreds of
thousands of dollars realized by the
act in two years are made available by
legislative appropriation the sports-,
men will get direct help because game
will be propagated.
In spite of the fact that only ex-,
pense accounts of candidates for State
wide offices anil organizations interest
ed in State-wide candidates are re
quired to be tiled at the Capitol there
has been a regular rush to file ac
counts of expenditures and, receipts by
chairmen of county and city commit
tees. Half a dozen such accounts have
been sent back daily with information
that they belong with clerks of the
courts. In one instance an account
came back again, the sender insisting
on liling it at the Capitol and inform
ing the State official that he guessed
he knew the law. Accounts that lack
the official certification are numerous.
Friends of Samuel Schrlver, one of
the well-known residents of the Fifth
ward, will iregret to learn of his seri
ous illness. Mr. Sehriver was connect
ed with the Hickok works for many
years and until his retirement headed
the roll of service.
"People who have been at Gettys
burg and remarked how close the lines
seemed to run during the battle and
how short the distances between oppos
ing batteries In 1863 probably think
that because of the high power ord
nance such close fighting would be
impossible to-day would be surprise at
some of the situations on French bat
tlefields," said an army officer a day
or so ago. "Judging by reports and
maps, there are places where men by
the thousand are separated by no
greater distances than the river front
and the island containing your filter
plant. And they have rifles capable of
killing at a distance of four miles."

Mil. ROOSEVELT STAYS BEHIND
(Phila. Bulletin)
The Progressive Party, seeking "Its
place in the sun," strikes the west
ward trail in order that twilight and
the night shall not overtake it. Per
kins's palatial office in New York Is
to be closed and the headquarters
temporarily are to be transferred to
Chicago, where Medill McCormick is
ready to foot the bills for a time, at
least until Governor Hiram Johnson,
of California, shall claim his own as
the chief prophet.
In Massachusetts, Matthew Hale
has recovered from his illness and is
valiantly seeking to rally what is left
of the Progressive vote, but, with the
exception of the Pinchot vote in
Pennsylvania, there is nothing more
left of the party till Illinois is
reached, and from there to California
is another long leap. Johnson, of Cali
fornia, is the only heir-apparent who
can see anything in the property
worth salvaging, and finally it may
be expected that the party, principles
and all, will land at Sacramento for
safe-keeping in his hands.
Meanwhile Mr. Roosevelt stays at
home, sends his regrets to the Chi
cago conference, and awaits another
sunrise which Chantecleer may an
nounce as of his own bidding.

fifty cents for carrying a tlag. There
are half a dozen items for rent of halls

and trolley car tickets ate up some of
the money -and there arc numerous
items paid for transportation of voters,

vices, light, watchers, printing, ad
dressing and the distribution of litera
ture.
The money duo to the Patriot is for
60,000 circulars and 300 inches of ad

Jaincs Gillespie, treasurer of the
Palmer-McCormick League of Phila
delphia, to-day filed the expense ac
count of that organization in the re
cent campaign, showing receipts of
$4,671 and expenditures of $4,665.50.
The contributions were all made by
the Democratic State committee and
the money was spent for watchers on
registration and election days, hall
rent, postage, travelling expenses and
other charges.
William H. Brennan, for the Second
ward Palmer-McCormick League of
Philadelphia, filed a report out of the
ordinary. The receipts wero $55 and
the money was spent for watchers and
other expenses. He certified that he
had donated his house for meetings

it aftei'wards. Bernard Carnahun re
porting for the Thirty-eighth ward
league reported $l5O received from
the city league, all of which was spent
for watchers.

of the Bull Mooso party for governor,
certified that he had received nothing
and spent nothing and certificates that
they had spent less than SSO were
filed by J. B. Allen, Socialist candidate
for governor and George Hart, Pro
hibition candidate for congress-at
large.
Charles H. Robblrts, Republican, of
Mt. Carmel, who was defeated of elec
tion to Congress from the Sixteenth
district, consisting of Northumber
land, Montour, Columbia and Sullivan
counties, yesterday filed his expense
account in the olflce of Edgar Sum

The campaign account of Robert D.
Heaton, Congressman-elect in the
Schuylkill district, was filed at Potts

on Mr. Heaton, who was elected by one
of the heaviest majorities in years.
Senator Penrose yesterday com
mented upon Secretary of State Bry
an's announcement that the national
Democracy will wage an unrelenting
war upon the liquor traffic.
"The suggestion that the Demo
cratic party shall make prohibition the
paramount issue constitutes a confes
sion of the failure of Its economic poli
cies," said the Senator.
"There was nothing in the platform
of the Democratic party in the last
Presidential campaign demanding any
such issue. The fundamental issue was
the tariff and the Wilson propaganda
of the 'New Freedom,' whatever that
may mean. The 'New Freedom' de

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
RATES
The chief point to be observed in
comparing the Panama with other
railroads is this: The Government
doesn't allow the Interstate Com
merce Commission to hold down
freight charges fn Panama to a limit
which, applied in the-United States,
makes the possibility of general rail
road bankruptcy the great financial
problem of our present day.—Phlla.

THE KNOCKER
After the rattle-snake, the skunk
and vampire, comes the knocker. A
knocker is a two-legged animal with
a cork-screw soul, a water-sogged
brain and a combination backbone
made of Jelly and glue. Where other
people have their hearts he carries
a tumor of rotten principles. When
the knocker comes down the street,
honest men turn their backs, the
angels in heaven take precipitate
refuge behind their harps and the
devil barlocks the gates of hell.

GRANT STATE CAPITOL NEEDS
(From the Public Ledger)
No excuse is to be found in the un
fortunate and deplorable scandals at
taching to the building and furnishing
of the Capitol for any failure on the
part of the Legislature to grant as
much money as may be necessary for
Its enlargement to make It adequate
for present needs.
While there is in the treasury of
: the Commonwealth not one cent for
the powers that prey or for grafters,
the funds are at hand for carefully
supervised and lawful spending on
needed improvements in our public
buildings.
The Capitol is the architectural ex
-1 pression in granite, brick and steel,
mural decoration and sculpture, of
, the memorials of our past. But it is
: more than this. It is the meeting

HOW HE SAVED
HIS TEETH
Hundreds of teeth could have been
saved to their owners had an ounce of
prevention been taken in time. Indeed,
we ail owe It to ourselves to have good
teeth. You know how nice a person
will look, all dressed for an evening,
what a fine impression is given until
the mouth is opened in smile or laugh
and then a row of yellow teeth, or
some out. some in gold, give you the
thought."what might have been." Store
teeth tell their own tale, leave a bad
impression. Everyone ought to make
an effort to keep his or her teeth In
the mouth—once lost, always lost. No
amount of wishing will got them to
return. This can be done; you can
save your teeth; science says so, and
people who have tried assert It from
their own knowledge.
The slogan, "never pull a tooth until
all else falls," is dinned into the ears
of dental students until they graduate
—then comes actual practice in which
the older dentists insist on this first,
last and all the time.
Nowadays preventive medicines go
hand in hand with preventive dentistry.
Loosened teeth, swollen gums, tender
teeth, bleeding, ulcerated and aching
gums are all summed up under the
name of pyorrhoea. These conditions
will disappear and never return If you
will go to your druggist and get, say.
four ounces of fluid ergan (you won't
need more) and put a teaspoonful in
v'our mouth night, noon and morning.
Keep in the mouth for five minutes,
throw it out and don't use water for a
short time only. As It dissolves the
collection of microbes and Infestmenta
of the mouth that lurk in the crevices
the gums will heal right away and
have a healthy, rosy hue; the teeth will
become strong and Arm In the gums
and the pyorrhoea condition will pass
away over night. All the microbes of
the mouth will be loosened and thrown
out, destroyed. You will save the
enamel of the teeth. (As Is well known,
the mouth is the breeding place for dis
ease germs that eat away the outer
enamel, which makes the teeth yellow
and soon decay.) The receding gums
will become normal and all danger of
passing the enamel will have disappear
ed You will save the loosenod teeth;
your mouth will be therapeutically
clean and free from all disease-breed
ing germs, as the places that are
shelters for bacteria will be clean and
health?. —Advertisement.

Last week we began to advertise Pepsimint in Harrisburg.
The response has been instantaneous and magnificent!
As in other cities the people have recognized the splendid
merits of Pepsimint. At the leading drug stores there has been
a constant, steady, call for this new, harmless, efficient aid to
digestion.
Harrisburg welcomes Pepsimint with-the same enthusiasm
that Philadelphia and other cities have welcomed it. Diges
tions. tempers and all-round health in Harrisburg will improve
because Pepsimint is here.
