In spite of the fact that the present methods in making nominations were hailed a few years ago as the very finest safeguards that could be thrown about tho ballot in the Keystone State, candor forces the admission that after a fair trial some of the procedure Is more or less of a nuisance. The votes at primaries have not only dwindled in many dis tricts. due to restrictions and annoy ing regulations, but have become mighty expensive propositions to can didates and the men who stand back of party organizations with contri butions. On top of all this there is the very apparent fact that the State Treasury has been forced to disburse millions of dollars for primaries in the last six years and there does not seem to be any way to escape this annual burden except by a law placing the costs on the party organizations, which means the candidates and the party con tributors. who are directly interested, if one chooses to put it that way. The way things are going, Pennsylvania is facing primary bills of three-quarters of a million dolars per annum. The settlement of the primary bills by the Auditor General has been delayed. Time has been taken up by an effort to arrive at a system of charges and this }ias led to threats of suits, to bickering at both ends of the line, to vexatious delays and to a generally unpleasant situation, particularly in regard to Philadelphia. Every year tills annual pulling and hauling takes place and the State officials become ex tremely unpopular at some county seats, while bills go unpaid and the time for a new primary rolls around with expense of another unsettled. It is an absurd condition that should be ended. NOW LET IT LAST NOW let It last throughout the year—that Christmas spirit! If Christmas was worth while to you, you spent the day with feelings of good will toward your fel lows. And now that the day Is over and you swing back into the atmos phere of the work-a-dav world, why not determine to keep those feelings of kindness in your heart throughout the coming year? After all, isn't it just about as easy! to be good-natured, forgiving of the faults of others, cheerful, and loving as to be grouchy, carping, gloomy and j unmindful of the needs of your neigh bors? After all, isn't it sweeter and : better to bo filled with the Yuletide' spirit than to go round with a sour J outlook on things in general? Of! course it is! ANOTHER STEP FORWARD ESTABLISHMENT of the state reformatory for women, an in stitution along the lines of the • Huntingdon reformatory for boys, and for which many men and women have been working in Penn sylvania for years, has been brought etill closer by the approval of a site near Muncy by the State Board of Public Charities. The legislation for the preliminary steps for this institution was passed during the last session of the General Assembly and was one of the group of bills which Governor Tener said gave him great. satisfaction to sign. In the list were the bills forming commis sions to take charge of the creation of State institutions for feeble-minded women, for the correction of young female criminals, for the betterment of tho penal laws and for the treat ment of inebriates and victims of drugs and last, but not least, for a general study of the condition of the dependents in the State. They form ed a group of bills separate and apart from the Industrial Accidents, Build ing Code and other commissions charg ed with framing statutes of vital im portance to the welfare of everyone, but it is doubtful If In tho history of the State so many charitable products of admitted value were ever inaugurat ed at one time. The need for Just such an institu tion was made plain by the Governor and those who co-operated with him at tho last session of the Legislature and the quarter million dollars allowed SATURDAY EVENING, enables the commission to go right ahead with its preliminary work. The plans ure made and the site Is ap proved. Contracts for the start of the building program can now be let. A REQUEST FROM TENNESSEE THAT Tennessee man who asked Governor Tener to And him a wife and insisted that she be "willing to help" and that It didn't matter so much "how she looked" isn't as great n simpleton as many a young man with thought of matrimony in his mind might believe. What that Tennessee farmer wants is a helpmeet, not a mantlepiece. He is one of the "common" folks and he wants a wife of the same station in life. Far too many of the young men of the day insist on marrying as fancy dictates, without thought of the future. And then comes tho awakening. The young woman can't buy the silk petti coats that she has been used to buy ing: the young man finds his angel isn't half so angelic under marital stress as she was in her father's par lor. The divorce court gets the case If the couple in question do not have an extra suply of common sense; and maybe even though they do. One thing is certain: Pennsylvania girls should not take it amiss that a male of the South looks Northward for a wife, for Tennessee Is prone to boast of Its women. COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S PLAN" COLONEL ROOSEVELT, in the current issue of Everybody's Magazine, has a distinctly con structive article on the subject |of national defenses, lie calls the at tention of the country to the system of j protection against invasion whereby I Switzerland at small cost to the nation | is able to swing Into the lield in a few days' time a quarter million of men [trained in military service, and sug j gests its adoption here, with modifl j cations. It Is the sanest view of tho j problem now confronting us that has | yet been expressed, and it comes from | a man of military as well as civic 'attainments, who has a broad knowl edge of conditions both at home and I abroad. As the Louisville Courier-Journal well puts it, it is matter of re?ret that so many Americans should take for granted that all persons who are in sisting on this country strengthening its army to the extent which the Sec retary of War and the military heads deem absolutely necessary and on properly equipping our navy with men, guns and ammunition are bent on a career of conquest or of bullying of other nations. The extreme pacifists who are loudest in their denunciation of patriotic citizens who insist that tho country should take all necessary precautions for self-defense are forget ful of their past assurances. Those who favor wiping out the army en tirely, doing away with the navy and removing all coast defenses are so few as to be negligible. Practically all admit we must have some army and some navy. The question, then. Is how much? There is little fear of an invasion of the United States among sensible men. But our difficulties In the past have not arisen from invasion of our soil. We cannot always deter mine the Issues ourselves. If a hos tile power should seize even Cuba, which is merely under our protection, no Influence on earth could keep the people of the United States quiescent. Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pines are possessions which we would defend with equal promptness. We have $400,000,000 invested in the Pan ama Canal, of.whose neutralization we are the sole guarantor. Within the last few days we have seen what a serious obligation we voluntarily as sumed in the Hay-Pauncjfote treaty. It is our bounden duty to compel all nations to observe the rules of neu tralization in the canal. It would be supreme folly for this country not to be prepared to fulfill its duty under 'the treaty. That being true. Congress would do veil to name a commission to properly study the situation and to outline some such plan as Colonel Roosevelt suggests, with ample assurance that the country at large will approve. LIFE RATHER THAN RATES SO much has been said and written about tho rate adjustment func tion of the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission in the last month or so that the statements of John P. Dohoney, the Investigator of accidents of the commission, in his an nual report, strike with timely inter est just now. "It is more important to safeguard the lives of people than it is to deter mine whether a passenger is over charged or whether a shipper is un justly assessed for the transportation of his goods," remarks the investigator in presenting a voluminous report on casualties on transportation lines in Pennsylvania. This reference to the safety work of the commission, how ever, only calls attention to some startling things. While the rest of us have been fussing about the cost of a railroad ticket or the rate on a ton of coal, something like 10,100 persons were hurt on the steam railroads of the State, no less than IS2B railroad men were killed in discharge of their duties, over 3,100 persons were hurt on street railways, railroad men were hurt by being struck by obstructions along the track, people were lilt at improperly guarded grade crossings, and other accidents were oc curring. And it might be remarked in passing, although it is scarcely relevant in discussion of such a serious topic as casualties, that a good many people's clothing suffered in connection with car steps. The commission has a definite func tion to perforin in securing protective measures, not only red lights at cross ings, but to work to reduce the appall ing list of casualties on the railroads and neither it nor the public should lose sight of it for an instant In the squabbles over a commutation ticket from Germantown or Pox Chase to Broad street station. AN EVENING TI!OI<iHT. The only competition worthy a wise man, is with himself.—Mrs. Jame son. f EVENING CHAT I "In my young daya It used to be the Christmas gooso, we never thought of turkey for Christmas Day dinner," re marked Governor Tener yesterday In talking about the big Yuletlde feast ornament. "It's odd the way customs change. I recall when I was a boy In Ireland we always hart a big goose for Christmas Day ajfd there was ns much rivalry about the size of the goose as there Is about a turkey now. We did not have the generous giving of gifts that we have nowadays, either. We kept the present giving until New Year's Day and New Year's Day was the big day. Everyone want ed to start the new year right and.to give remembrances. On Christ mas Day we hud the Christmas box. That was generally an ornamental box containing some remembrance or some candy or something like that, nothing elaborate. I guess there are a good many parts of the country where Christmas observance has changed Im mensely in the last few decades and it is getting to be more and more to be the great festival." Quite a few veterans of the Civil War in this city and vicinity were talk ing yesterday of where they were fifty years ago. It happens that there are a number of Harrisburg men who were with Sherman when he reached the coast and who aided in making pos sible his Christmas present of Savan nah. Harrisburg had a really and truly Christinas tree famine on Thursday and there were some strange doings about the city on the part of those who had neglected to shop early when it came down to buying the decora tions. About Wednesday night the city seemed to wake up to the fact that It was short on Christmas trees, although the mountains near Harris burg are filled with specimens admir ably adapted to Yuletlde. Stores were telephoned to for reservations, but there were very few trees in the city not disposed of. Consequently, men and women began to get busy on Thursday morning. Delegations went to Market Square. Verbeke street, Thirteenth and Market and other neighborhoods where the Christmas tree venders generally hold forth and whenever a wagon appeared Its driver was literally mobbed. There were gray-haird men and mere lads, wom en with shawls pinned over their heads and in fur coats, children with qaur ters tied in their handkerchiefs and messengers, in short about everyone who could be imagined as wanting a tree and then some. One man who had a moderate load of trees on his wagon sighed after he had been "rough housed" and said that if he had known things were as shorUon trees he would have brought along two wagons. In Market Square people waited for hours to get a chance to buy trees and im portuned the policemen and car dis patchers for tips where to get them. There was regular bidding for trees at times and one man made monev In refusing to sell until he got the crowd around him and then literally auc tioning his wares. People wlio were clown town in the shopping district on Christmas Eve say thut maybe it was the weather or maybe it was the fear of crowds, but in any event there was a marked evi dence that the shop early idea had spread. There were thousands of peo ple in the streets, but the crowds in the stores were not that frightful jam caused bv folks trying to catch up. Most of the people in the stores were strolling- about looking things over and apparently congratulating themselves that they had done their shopping and did not need to worry. One line of business must have been very good in the shopping season, according to people ho have been ob serving things and that was the sled assortment. There was a brisk de mand for sleds of all sizes and descrip tions and the reason attributed by the people who dealt in them was the snowy weather. This made coasting popular a month before the usual time and the result was that there was ask ing for sleds and immediate use for them. The weather has been a bit cold for sledding, but it's never too cold to try out a Christmas sled. Telegraph linemen who have been sleeping with both ears wide open the last month or so because of the storms and the manner in which everv wire is being watched shows that the com panies do not propose to be caught by any holiday storms such as occurred in tlie last half dozen years. Three or four years ago the snowstorms tied up things on the Pennsylvania railroad east of here and many people were cue pis who did not expect to ever be in Ha risburg on the great holiday. One of the most interesting things about the markets held In the city to-day was the fact that there was a good attendance of farmers. Consid ering tho weather and the proximity of Christmas, the number of people with articles to sell was astonishing. Hut the answer was outside. Most of the farmers came in automobiles.

COMMISSION'S AIM Notable Report on What Has Been Done to Bring About Protec tive Measures by State TO INVESTIGATE TUNNELS Lower Car Steps Among the Things For Which Body Is Working— Big Accident Roll Safety suggestions from the closer supervision of tunnels, better protec tion of grade crossings, removal of ob structions along tracks and equip-, ment of trolley cars with power brakes to improvement in car heating and regulation of the height of trolley car steps abound in the report made to the Public. Service Commissioners by John P, Dolioney, investigator of accidents, for the period between July 28, 1313, and June 30. 1914. The re | port covers operations of a bureaa which goes into the cause of every accident on a public service property I in the State and has been giving spe cial attention to railroad casualties. I One of the interesting things is that [575 trespassers were killed out of 1,- 1161 persons who perished on the steam i 'or electric railways of Pennsylvania.! ; Thirty-one of this number are known to have been Intoxicated, twenty-four 1 of them being run down while on rail road tracks. The report gives the following infor- I mation in detail: Ten thousand, one hundred persons injured on the ruilroads. Of this num ber 991 were killed. The latter em braced 328 employes; 15 passengers; 555 trespassers and 93 others. Three thousand, one hundred and sixty-one persons Injured on the street railways. Of this number 170 were killed, the fatalities Including. 15 em ployes; 19 passengers; 20 trespassers nad 116 others. Seventy-nine persons killed and 222 injured at grade crossings of railroads and 2 killed and seventy injured at grade crossings of street railways. Fifty-three trespassers struck by cars were under the influence of in toxicating liquor, and of this num ber 24 were killed. The street railway companies report that 9 intoxicated persons were killed and that 80 were injured. "It is more important to safeguard the lives of people than it is to de- j termine whether a passenger is over charged or whether a shipper is un justly assessed for the transportation of his goods." says Mr. Dohoney. "There are approximately 10,000 pub lic crossings of steam railroads at grade in this State and it is gratifying to know that the commission has be gun the work tending to their elimina tion. Watchmen, gates and bells do not constitute absolutely reliable pro tection. Our reports show that dur ing the period embracing January first and June 20 of this year 44 accidents occurred at protected crossings by which 15 people were killed and 34 were injured. During the same period 17 were killed and 58 injured at unpro tected crossings. "Requirements that the cars of street passenger railway companies be ! equipped with jacks; that conductors precede the cars over the tracks of steam railroads and that passengers be not allowed on the front platform of street, cars are being observed. "Complaints have been received that the steps and running boards of the cars of some of the lines arfc too high and are not only the cause of ac cidents but the a source of inconveni ence. Investigation shows that these grievances are well founded. I have, in consequence, held conferences with representatives of the Pennsylvania Street Railways Association with a view to the adoption by the commis sion of such regulations as will re move this objection and will make fur ther provision for the enclosing of the front platform of cars so that the em ployes may have that measure of pro tection to "which they are entitled. "The equipment of all cars with power brakes as well as hand brakes and the daily operation of both brakes; the installation of automatic couplers; a s/ife and proper method of heating cars and the maintenance of lights at highway crossings and at points on the line of the railway—such as the ap proaches to sharp curves, bridges, steep grades, etc., in country districts, and a reasonable control of the in tensity of headlights of cars on public I highways, will all contribute to the j elimination of vdements that figure in accidents of various kinds." The accident which recently occur red in the Phoenixville Tunnel on the line of the Philadelphia and Reading Kailwav emphasizes the necessity of giving the matter of tunnels our prompt and serious consideration. Investigations show that during the period embracing January llrst and June 30, 11114. seven people were kill ed and 105 injured by overhead or 'side obstructions on the line of steam 'roads. Co-operation of people intcr | ested in safety first work is invited to the end that nil dangerous conditions may be inspected; as it is more essen tial that these obstructions be remov ed before an accident occurs than it is to investigate after the injury has i been done. ■ Complaints have been received as to Ithe height of tenders on shifting en 'gines. It is the practice of some roads to attach a large tender to an engine of this kind and it is impossible for the engineer to obtain a view of the track without leaning out of the cab to an extent that endanrers his own life and lives of others.
