THE RATI.ROADS
FEW who have given any thought
to tho matter will disagree with
Samuel Rea. president of the j
Pennsylvania Railroad, in his as- j
sertioii before the New York Chamber |
of Commerce that more than a mere :
increase in traffic will be necessary to 1
put the railroads of the country on J
their feet.
It is apparent to everybody that
something is radically wrong with the I
railroads, and the intimation of the
Interstate Commerce Commission thatj
■watered stock and wasteful admlnls-1
tration are largely to blame does not j
apply in all cases. The Pennsylvania j
railroad, for instance, has not one j
drop of water in its stock—never has j
had —and in recent years, at least. |
economy along all possible lines has j
been one of the watchwords of the!
system.
The time has come when we must j
treat the railroads for what they are,
instead of what politicians have told
us they arc. The railroads are not
altogether the grabbing, grasping, get
all, give-nothing corporations they
were in the early days of the Goulds
and Vanderbilts, but are in a broad I
sense publically owned Institutions'
managed by men whose jobs depend!
on the efficiency of the service and the j
dividends they can earn for stockhold-:
ers. The roads are owned in large •
part by an army of individuals, actual- j
ly holding their stocks and bonds, and
in part by institutions such as savings
hanks, insurance companies, universi
ties, hospitals and other philanthropic
enterprises, in the welfare of which
many more millions of individuals are'
vitally concerned. These are largely!
dependent upon income derived from I
the money they have invested in the
service of the public, and rightfully j
they hold railroad managers respon- 1
sible for this income. If.dividends are I
not forthcoming, thousands of small j
shareholders are injured. If service is;
sacrificed to earnings, the pubic and j
the government step in with protests!
and regulations. It Is obvious that the i
men who are responsible should have 1
some leaway in which to insure both )
proper dividends and the service to'
which patrons justly believe them- j
selves entitled.
The advance in freight rates asked
for by the roads must come. If the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
been practical instead of theoretical
every person in the country would now
have been feeling the benefit of the
Impetus the increase would have given
to railroad buying of needed supplies,
and we would not now be facing a
raise in passenger rates that will be
saddled largely on a class of passen
gers that can ill afford to pay it.
"Only America can save Belgium,"
says Herbert Clark Hoover, after a tour
of that country. And the crisis finds
Harrisburg right on the job and ready
to work until the need is no more.
<>UR IMPRACTICAL SYSTEM
THE officers of the Public Health
Service engaged in the medical
examination of arriving aliens
are confronted with difficulties
in making their diagnoses of physical
and mental conditions, which seldom
obtain in any other line of medical
work, these difficulties being dependent
upon the various nationalities of the
aliens and the languages and dialects
spoken by them.
The majority of us are apt to con
sider ourselves linguists when we are
able to say "ja," and in traveling in
Europe, the American can get along
very well with that one word in his
vocabulary. It will pass in nearly all
countries and the majority of things
he is asked to do by guides and the
places to which he is asked to go
call for an answer with the use of
that one word. In addition to this
the one idea of the guide in foreign
countries is to separate the American
from his money, and the American in
foreign countries is waiting to have
this operation performed, so that the
use of the happy word "ja" Is satisfac
tory and sufficient to all persons con
cerned.
This, however, is not the case at
our immigration stations. The immi
grants do not want to'be separated
from their money, and they do want
to get into the United States. Some
times their inability to understand the
efforts of the medical officers in using
their language must be met by one of
two recourses. Either the medical
officers of the Public Health Service
must study a number of languages, or
else the government must supply these
officers with interpreters. It has been
SATURDAY EVENING.
found that to facilitate the passage of
immigrants and to make certain of the
answers given to the questions asked
by the doctors, interpreters in the
above mentioned languages must be
provided. These Interpreters, while
they are not medical men, soon be
come familiar with the methods of
medical examination and are of very
great assistance in expediting the
medical work and in quieting the fears
of many of the immigrants as to the
intent of the necessary medical.exami
nation.
There are good places open with
plenty of chance for advancement in
this service, and yet we go on teach
ing our boys and girls languages that
can serve in most cases only a super
ficial use when out of school and leave
them in ignorance of tongues a knowl
edge of which might earn for them a
good livelihood.

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT
ANYBODY who read Irvin s.
Cobb's letter from the war zone,
published by the Telegraph yes
terday, will agree with the New
' York Evening Post In Its assertion
I that the war correspondent is not only
not a thing of the past, but very much
of the present.
Mr. Cobb writes from personal ob
servation. He tells in straightforward
language what the cabled dispatches
have merely hinted. Tho censors have
managed their game so cleverly that
it is a question every evening of "pay
ing your money and taking your
choice" of the contradictory items is
sued from each of the seats of the
belligerent governments; of winnow
ing the wheat from the chaff to find
the grain of truth with which most of
the writers have invested their exag
gerations and misstatements.
The fact of the matter is that the
only absolutely accurate information
we are getting from Europe is coming
over the signatures of the correspond
ents In the'field—American writers of
fair reputation sent by representative
publications to get the truth for Amer
ican readers. The censors have pro
longed the life of the war correspond
ent indefinitely, although at the start
of hostilities no less an authority than
Frederick Palmer told us that the
day of the news writer at the front
was long since past.
But Mr. Cobb's story of yesterday
illustrates another fact—that the aid
we in the United States have extended
to the sufferers of all the countries
in the war zone is only a beginning.
Our generosity has been nothing
more, figuratively, than the gift of a
crust to a starving man. These inno
cent men, women and children must
be fed and clothed indefinitely.
Kitchener says the war will last three
years. What is to become of these |
homeless ones in the interim and
what afterward? The answer is not
apparent. All that we can see ahead
of us is give. give. give, as the good
God has prospered us. and as He no
doubt means that we should, remem
bering that if we do it even unto the
least of these we do It also unto Him.
The spectacle of "bandits" Villa and
Zapata saving Mexico City from loot is
one of the passing wonders of a very
wonderful year.
A MtMCli'.Xl, BOATHOUSE
NOW that plans are well under
way for the removal of the boat
house in the Hardscrabble dis
trict, it is the duty of Council
to take action as soon as possible lead
ing to the erection of a municipal
boathouse.
The several hundred canoeists in the
city who have boats in the various
houses near Herr and Front streets
are beginning to worry lest they be
compelled to move their boats before
any suitable place of storage is pro
vided. As one canoeist put it in dis
cussing the mater, "Unless the city
does something before we are ordered
to move out our boats, I guess I'll
have to carry my canoe around in my
hip pocket or hang it on a tree some
where along the river."
Now that the dam is almost com
pleted and the river is rapidly being
put into that shape where aquatic
sports can be really enjoyed. Council
should see to it that boat owners are
not forced to forego the pleasures of
boating next summer for lack of stor
age accommodations.
The hoist engineers at the Bangor
slate quarry have asked for a raise of
wages, doubtless believing it a part of
their duty to see that things go up.
NO MORE HANGINGS
NOBODY will regret the passing
of the galiows in Pennsylvania.
The last murderer ever to be
hanged In Philadelphia was exe
cuted yesterday. The last hanging in
Dauphin county took place some time
ago. There never was any excuse for
the barbarous affairs that disgraced
I our laws and our cities in times past.
The killing of men in public never did
any good and some of the bungling
| butcheries have been shocking and
brutalizing in the extreme.
In the future murderers will be exe
| cuted by electricity in a quiet little
j cell of the new Western Penitentiary
now being erected in Centro 'county.
There will be no more congregating of
the morbidly curious and degenerate
at the jail yard to see a fellow being
yanked into eternity at the end of a
rope. The mandates of the law will
be complied with in a sane and orderly
manner and the only knowledge the
public will receive of the execution
will be the mere announcement that it
has taken place. There never was ex
cuse for the Jail yard hanging and it
Is strange that it was not abolished
long ago. s
An optimist is a fellow who loans
another one money, hoping to get it
back.
1 Nearly SIOO,OOO, it is said, will be
turned loose In Harrisburg In the way
of various Christmas funds the coming
week. That ought to liven the shop
ping district up a bit.

EVENING CHAT I
The certificate of election of Boies
Penrose as Senator from Pennsylva
nia, which was drawn up and signed
this week, contains exactly sixty
words without the formal phrases
showing that it is an official document.
The certificate is one of the shortest
issued at the Capitol and is contained
on an ordinary sized sheet of letter
paper. It will be in Washington on
Monday. No war tax stamp was af
fixed to the certificate, as It was held
at the State Capitol that it was busi
ness of the State government with the
national government and that the tax
required on certificates would not ap
ply to it.
State officials have been puzzled this
week by the rush to file statements
of expenses by county committees, and
four times as many statements of that
kind have been entered than ever
known before. At first the county
committee statements were sent back
because the law requires that such
statements shall be filed in the proper
county seat, but the statements were
returned with the remark that some
of the. money was expended for State
candidates and that the senders
thought the Capitol was the place.
More accounts have been filed this
year than ever before, as numerous
organizations which handled certain
branches of the campaign have been
sending in statements. No less than
a dozen leagues or organizations of
various kinds were active outside of
the party committees in the State, and
thes* have filed statements.
If there is any salmon fisherman
in this part of the Susquehanna valley
who has not been out angling the last
week or so, because of the mild
weather, he is a rare one. The
weather has been of the kind that
permits good fishing when the. fish
are lively and when they will give
the best sport. Ordinarily at this sea
son of the year the salmon fishing Is
apt to l»e attended by more or less
discomfort because of the cold and
winds, and yet no fisherman likes to
have December go by without making
an attempt to reduce the number of
salmon that swarm in some sections
of the wide branching river. Tn the
last week or so men have been seen
strolling about the Rockville Tails, the
riffles at Mac lay street and all tho
way down from Steelton to Hill Island.
Some splendid specimens of the real
big lighters have been brought back
and there are tall tales told about
battles to land the lisli. Up to date
no one around here seems to have
taken the legal limit of twenty-five
in a day. but there is a chance be
tween now and the twenty-first day
of December, when the season for
taking the salmon closes. Some fish
ermen say that they think the build
ing of the dam in the river south of
the i»rivl«:es will bring back salmon
to the waters closer to the city, and
they think that the dam wiil add
much to the pleasure of angling. The
bridge fishermen say the increase of
the water is going to be a great thing.
People who have colds and who
are employed in the Capitol went to
the east wing a day or so ago to "get
their cleaned out." as one suf
ferer put it. It happened that some
work was being done in the basement
which required the use of ammonia,
and the fumes got into the elevator
shafts and permeated the whole wing.
In the elevators the smell was so
strong it made one's eyes water.
One of the men who sells river
caught lisli in this city said yesterday
that notwithstanding tho prognosti
cations of the Berks county goosebone
prophets he is willing to lay a wager
that this will be a mild winter. He
bases his calculations on the fact that
worms and snails are still to be found
near the surface of the ground. De
spite the tact that the temperature for
a few days ranged about 20 degrees
fish worms may be found In almost any
sheltered spot within six Inches of the
surface of the ground, which is very
unusual for this time of year.
State Highway Commissioner E. M.
Bigelow is smiling over the way things
turn around in life. While strolling
through the Capitol corridors the other
day a friend asked him why he was so
chipper. "Oh. I'm just thinking" he
replied. "Three months ago I was a
target for brickbats and all kinds of
things were said about me. 1 admit
it was depressing. Lately I have been
showered with compliments for the
way roads have been fixed up and have
to decline invitations to speak at din
ners. I'm on the go more than ever
with invitations to do things now."
Some interesting exhibits in natural
history are being shown in front of
hotels these days and the other day
half a dozen kids came along and
stopped to gaze at the carcass of a big
bear.
"Wonder if he's really dead?"
"Maybe he is."
"Don't be too sure."
"Pull his hair and see."
With the last remark one of the
venturesome kids pulled the ear of the
bear. As he did so a dog which had
been napping nearby woke up and
started to growl. The kids are prob
ably running yet.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
TEH IS NEITHER
GLAD NOR SORRY
Governor Chats About the End of
His Administration and Smiles
Over Some Things
LIKES THE COMMISSIONERS
Will Leave Legislation to His Suc
cessor ; Gossip His Fu
ture Place in State
"1 am neither glad nor sorry thai
1 am about to leave office," said Gov
ernor John K. Tener in commenting
upon his term. The Governor smil
ingly declined to say whether his ex
pectations on taking office had been
realized, but would leave that to the
people to decide. He has a little over
five weeks to serve in his office and is
working out his farewell message to
the legislature.
The message will not be long. It
will be a characteristic Tener docu
ment. very much to the point on what
has been done and refer briefly to a
couple of tnlngs which the Governo\
regards as unfinished but which he
hopes to see enacted into law, the
workmen's compensation legislation
being the chief.
In the message the Governor will
refer with considerable pride to the
work of the State Assets Commission,
which has been at work for months
listing and appraising everything
owned by the state, from penholders
to a. million acres of forest reserves,
the state hospitals and the State Capi
tol. No one knows exactly what the
inventory will show, but it will be
around $60,000,000. The Governor
originated this idea, having tried to
find out when he took office what the
State owned, and he found property
and articles continually turning up.
So he just named a commission, which
has served without pay, and made a
list of rare interest and much value.
IJkcs the Commission
The Governor considers the creation
of the Public Service Commission the
crowning achievement of his term. He
said that the commission was filling
a big place in the state and instanced
the offer of the Philadelphia Electric
Company to furnish an inventory for
use in rate fixing as a way in which
the commission was serving as a chan
nel to adjust disputes. When the Gov
ernor was asked whether he expected
to name a commissioner to fill the
vacancy he laughed and said there
were six good men at work. The be
lief about the city is that Walter H.
Gaither, private secretary to the Gov
ernor, stands an excellent show of be
ing named for the place.
"The State has done more for the
cause of good roads in the last four
years than had been accomplished in
125 years," declared the Governor in
speaking about highways. "Four years
ago the people were passive. Now
they are taking a keen interest, and a
puddle of water in the roadway is soon
brought to the attention of the authori
ties." The Governor showed so much
knowledge of the details of the High
way Department and of the. state road
system that it was remarked that he
would make a good highway commis
sioner. /
"I'm not an engineer," he replied,
"but that job would suit me. 1 think
I'd like to be highway commissions
a while."
The Governor appeared to be verj
much pleased over the praise given to
the State highways by Thomas A. Edi
son at Bedford three weeks ago, re
marking in passing that there was not
as much adverse criticism of the roads
as there had been some months ago.
Senators in Town
The presence of both Senators Boies
Penrose and George T. Oliver and
Mayor J. G. Armstrong, of Pittsburgh,
at the Executive Mansion at dinner
last night set gossip flying. The Gov
ernor said that they had just come to
talk over Western Pennsylvania poli
tics.
"No, we did not discuss the Alle
gheny county judgeship or appoint
ments to the Public Service Commis
sion or any ideas to give to Dr. Brum
baugh about his appointments. We
just talked Western Pennsylvania poli
tics and had a nice sociable time,"
said he.
When it was suggested that possibly
legislation caused the conference, the
Governor smiled and said that was a
subject for his successor.
It is believed about the city that
the United States senatorship from
which Senator Oliver will retire at the
end of his term was discussed and not
withstanding no confirmation could be
had it is thought that the Governor
may become a candidate.
The Governor was asked pointblank
last night whether he was a candidate
for anything.
"I'm not a candidate for anything,
but I don't intend to drop my interest
in politics," replied the Governor.
IN STATE POLITICS
—The annual meeting of the Central
Democratic Club will be unusually in

THE
TIOXAIi PEACE.
That Pope Benedict XV. intends to
raise the question of the independence
of the Holy See when peace Is nego
tiated at the termination of the pres
ent war is the rumor in political and
ecclesiastical circles. During the
Italian Renaissance as to-day, the
sovereignty of the Church was closely
related to state, national and pacific
j interests. To harmonize these con
flicting issues is no simple matter. In
her fascinating study of the Kenals-
Isance, "Isabella d'Este" (new edition,
itwo volumes, Dutton. Julia Cartwright
describes the methods adopted by
I'ope Julis 11. to reinstate the tem
poral power of the Church. By play
ing off the different parties against
each other, he hoped to weaken all.
The power of this greatest patroness
of Italy over Popes, princes, poets,
artists and sculptors is shown on

NEW YORK WORLD AND BRYAN
[From the New York World]
The New York World, Democratic,
says of William Jennings Bryan:
"As Secretary of State he is ignor
ant and he will not learn. He would
rather argue than work. Much of the
official labor of his otfice is dry and
dull and exacting. He has no stomach
for it.
"A great Secretary of State in these
time would be as his desk twelve hours
a day. Mr. Bryan would lather be
in State Prison. He does not know
what is going on in the State Depart
ment. He does not know what ought
to be going on there. He has no
grasp of his duties because he has lost
the taste for drudgery, and no man
who is unwilling to be a drudge can be
a satisfactory Secretary of State.
Neither Jefferson nor John Quincy Ad
ams nor Elihu Hoot learned his trade
by intuition. They worked, and work
is one of the things that Air. Bryan
will not do unless by chanco he do It
on a platform with the cheers of the
crpwd ringing in his ears.
An honorable man. an upright
man. a man with noble ideals of inter
national service and a noble faith In
democratic institutions, he is a hope
less failure as Secretary of State be
cause he has made himself incapable
of sustained and systematic intellec
tual exertion."
