MODERNIZING ADMINISTRATION
GOVERNOR TENER will be en
abled to present to the next
General Assembly a plan for
modernizing the methods of
Pennsylvania's State government
through the report placed in his hands
by the State Economy and Efficiency
Commission and made public last
night. The document is a survey of
the whole governmental scheme of the
State, with exception of legislative and
judiciary branches, which, it is stated,
could not be included because of lack
of time. As the complaints about
office holding in the legislature had as
much to do with creating the senti
ment for the injuiry made by the
commission as did the holding of two
or more offices by people on Capitol
Hill, it is unfortunate that the probe
could not be Inserted into the law
makers' payroll.
The report, wljlch is purely sugges
tive and would require much legisla
tion to work out, contains some recom
mendations that are imperative, some
that are important and some that are
interesting. Frankly speaking, some
of them are old friends, ideas which
have been floating up and down the
corridors of the Capitol ever since it
was built, while others are new and
diverting altogether. Everyone knows
that there is room for Improvement
in the bookkeeping methods, in the
tak" settlements, In the purchase of
supplies and the contract system; that
civil service and a pension fund are
important to the State and that the
commendation given to the State De
partment of Health and State Board
of Public Charities is worth while, but
the proposition to create the job of
State press agent is one that should
not require much attention. Some
newspapers in Pennsylvania get the
habit of detracting their State because
of political animosity to men in power,
but at no time has any newspaper of
the Keystone State been backward
about giving space to the splendid
work for humanity that has placed
our Commonwealth far up in the list
in the last ten years.
The report may be studied with
profit and much to interest and enter
tain may be found therein.
It is to the credit of the French air
fleet, which bombarded Metz yesterday,
that it refrained from casting bombs
except at fortifications or in places oc
cupied by soldiery. The throwing of
explosives into the midst of residence
districts is not war; it is simplv sav
agery run wild. Further than that, it
has no direct bearing on the flnal result
of tho war and any move by any com
batant that hag not that ultimate re
sult in view is merely wasted.
THE CIIORAI, SOCIETY
Tilii llarrisburg Choral Society is
aiding high this year in the sc
ipclion of the oratorio Samson
for rendition at tho Spring Fes
tival. Tho society is particularly for
tunate in again obtaining the services
of Dr. J. Fred Wolle as director. The
success of last year was largely due to
bis ability as a leader and to his skill
in welding tho material placed at his
disposal into a really splendid chorus—
material, by the way, which Dr. Wolle
says is second to none in Pennsylvania.
The oratorio chosen for this season's
work is a combination of the musical
talent of liandcl and the poetic
of Jlilton. Tt teems with majestic
choruses and noble passages. It. is just
such a composition as is best suited to
both the director and the society, llar
risburg music lovers may look for
ward to one of the most delightful re
citals in the long history of the or
ganization.
"Wilson to face hard fight for re
nominatlon," says a New >$ r ork Sun
headline. But not nearly so hard as for
re-election.
THE YEAH AIIEAD
CHUISTMAS is past and we are
facing another New Year's Day.
What do the coming twelve
months hold for us, of joy and
sadness, of prosperity and adversity?
We know not, of course, and It is well
that we do not.
But this we do know—that our fu
ture is largely our own. We are what
we make ourselves. Tho old dictum,
that "man is a creature of his sur
roundings"—la only a half-truth. The
weak accept it, shrug their shoulders
and permit themselves to be tossed
about, hither and yon, by every ad
verse wind that blows, like fallen
leaves in an autumn breeze, nut the
strong man squares his shoulders to
the blast, bends Ills will to Ills (ask,
MONDAY KVENING,
and briskly goes his way, keenly ap
preciative of the sun when it shines,
but with no thought of yielding to the
bitter biting of the winter winds when
they blow.
So with each of us personally. "All
kinds of things and weather must be
taken in together to make up a year
and a sphere." The coming twelve
months will have their sunshine and
their rain, their grief and their mirth,
their losses and their gains. Those of
ua who are wise and firm of purpose
will take conditions as they come, re
joicing- in them, adapting them to our
purposes or enduring them, as the
case may be, but always certain of
this one thing—that perseverance wins
just as much in real life as the old
motto says it does, and that the end
of 1915 will find us better and broader
men and women if we earnestly strive
to that end.
To resolve at the end of each day
to do a little better the next, to live
true to ourselves and faithful to all
our trusts during the coming twenty
four hours—this is the only New
Year's resolution worth making.
The Chinese Government, it is said,
has Invited Colonel Roosevelt to be
come its official press agent. And yet
there are those who ijrofess to believe
that the Celestials are behind tlie times.
A SORRY VIEW OF IT
' I IIE Little Journal," of Boston,
published by Arthur D. Ut-
A tie,' Inc., chemists, engineers
and managers, contains the
following significant editorial relative
to the cry that has gone up from the
country at large that our manufactur
ing chemists free us from the Ger
man monopoly of dyestuffs:
In view of the general character
of the proposals to make this coun
try immediately independent of
Germany as regards dyestuffs, we
are surprised that no one has put
forward the more obvious and prac
tical suggestion that we utilize
our native rainbows to supply the
tinctorial requirements of our tex
tile and other industries. They are
quite as brilliant as the best Ger
man coal tar products and although
no statistics are immediately avail
able they are very generally dis
tributed and their number in the
aggregate would seem to be suf
ficient to supply any reasonable
demand. Chasing them is an agree
able occupation in which it would
not be difficult to enlist a consider
able proportion of the unemployed.
We have heard of nobody so foolish
as to advance the possibility of mak
ing the United States "immediately"
independent of Germany in this line of
trade, and it is a little surprising to
find a technical magazine taking that
view of it. The "Little Journal" is
either careless of its opportunities to
encourage the development of new
business or it is ready to admit that
the Amerlcap chemist is so woefully
deficient in talent and energy that he
stands no more show of successfully
competing with his German competi
tor than he does of manufacturing
coal tar dyes from rainbow hues. In
cither case the editor might have de-
Cecelia's choir under the direction of
voted his space to better account.
Democratic administration of the
Philippines seems to be about as suc
cessful as that at home; the only dif
ference being that wo revolt with a
blanket ballot, while the Filipino does
it with a blanket and a gun.
THE MANILA OUTBREAK
TIIE insurrection at Manila, so
promptly quelled by the United
States troops and constabulary,
is only another illustration of
the fallacy of President Wilson's no
tion that the Filipinos are at this time
capable of self-government. Indica
tions are that, were it not for public
opinion and a very strong fighting mi
nority in Congress, the President
would have advocated long since the
absolute independence of the Philip
pines.
Reports from the officers who put
down the Christmas eve uprising be
fore it was well under'way are to the
effect that it was caused by "revolu
tionists" located in Hong Kong, and
the intimation is that there are many
such movements intended to incite the
Filipinos to rise against the best gov
ernment they ever had. Evidently the
Philippines arc in much the same
situation as Mexico is to-»day. Only
the strong arm of Uncle Sam remains
to guard the life and liberty of the
peace-loving portion of the popula
tion. Remove that and what is occur
ring in Mexico would be repeated in
the Philippines.
To be sure, it is not the thought of
any American that thesb islands shall
constitute perpetual dependencies.
That is abhorrent to our idea of popu
lar government. But it would be as
great a crime to turn the Philippines
loose, in their present unprepared and
turbulent state, to work out their own
salvation, as it would to deliberately
plan to keep them always as they
arc.
CAPITOIi DECORATIONS
WHILE it will bo a matter of
regret for many that Miss
Violet Oakley will be unable
to complete the scries of
mural decorations for the Senate
chamber in time for the assembling
of that body in biennial session, yet
it will only be a few months more
'until they will be ready to place. The
State will be the gainer, as Miss Oak
ley will have abundance of time to
put the finishing touches to her splen
did work, which, according to those
who have seen the canvas, will deal
with Pennsylvania history in a way as
striking as does the scheme in the
south wing of the building, forming,
moreover, a fitting companion decora-i
tion to the great allegory of the Key
stone State in the Hall of the Repre
sentatives.
It is to be hoped that the Board
of Public Grounds and Buildings will
take early steps to commission some
Pennsylvania artist of renown to paint
the decorations for the north corridor.
As stated in the Telegraph, John W.
Alexander, a Pittsburgher by birth and
famed for hid* works, was offered the
$22,000 commission several years ago.
He declined to enter into a contract,
although Abbey. Van Inghen and Miss
Oakley had no hesitation about doing
so. J-letters' urging Mr. Alexander to
contribute to the art works of the Cap
itol of his native State a series illus
trative of the industrial development
of Pennsylvania have gone without
much more than formal reply. It is
clearly within the province of the
State authorities to take steps to com
plete the scheme on the lower floor so
admirably begun by Van Inghen's
paintings of the religious influences
that entered into the making of Penn
sylvania.
f LVENING CHAT i
It requires a good bit of nerve for a
person to go to the summit of Oak
Knob or Cherry Hill in Reservoir Park
or even to the top of Port Washington,
out from the testimony of those who
na\o taken the climb the view the last
tew days has been well worth'the exer
tion and the braving of the cold. Sat
urday afternoon several parties walked
to the top of the knolls in the park
and were enchanted at the appear
ance of the country for miles around,
rhe air was clear, the Intense cold
having driven away moisture and as
there was no wind one could see for
miles into the three counties that come
"own to the western shores of the
busquehanna river and cover the hills
and vales of Dauphin from First
Mountain to below Steelton. The views
of Perry county and of the York hills
were never more interesting than yes
terday and caused one'to wonder what
It would be like to scale the mountains
at Rockville gap. Fort Washington
enables one to get a broader view of
the Susquehanna because of the wide
bend in front of Harrisburg, and the
white surfaced river and the snow clad
hills afforded a sight long to be re
membered. In this connection it might
be added that some of the most
charming winter scenes that one could
wish are to be had in Wildwood Park,
it is winter in the woods right at the
doors of the city and well bundled up
and well shod, one can take the walk
going in at Maclay street and coming
out at Ott's lane and thoroughlv enjov
an afternoon.
Some of the Italian residents of the
city are commencing to show keen in
terest in the "doings" in the kingdom
whence they came and there are no
more eager readers of the dally news
papers than the people who' claim
Naples, Palermo, Messina or Brindisi
as their old homes. As quiet as you
keep It some of the younger Italians
In this city and Steelton have started
home in the last few weeks, preferring
a chance to seeing active service than
working in America. The Italians are
as much interested in war news as the
rest of us and show far more concern
over it than many of the Slavs, who
frankly say they are going to stav in
Pennsylvania.
Movement of. coal through the city
has been at a tremendous rate the last
fortnight, say railroad men, and they
attribute it to the fact that stocks in
the eastern cities have been depleted
Iby the severely cold weather to an ex
tent not expected. Some of the trains
sent through the city are composed of
steel "battleship" cars, filled to the
brim, and running pretty close to
gether. The coal traffic has been so
heavy that trains have been run on
holidays and Sundays just the same as
other days.
The "bonelieadedness" of censors Is
proverbial, but it was never mire
strikingly Illustrated than by a j >st
card received here a dav or so ago
f'om Germany. It contained the mark
that it was passed by the censor, al
though the postmarks of the way it
CSme from the empire would furnish
far more interesting history. The card
wished the man who got it good
health. That was all.
Robert C. Shaw, who will preside at
sessions of the State Educational As
sociation this week, is countv school
superintendent of Westmoreland coun
ty and one of the prominent educators
of the western end of the State. He is
well known to a number here as he
was a candidate for congrcss-at-largo
a couple of years ago.
The Conodoguinet appears to be as
popular in winter time as in summer,
judging from the way people have
been going skating on the famous
crooked stream. The creek has frozen
very hard in many places and there
arc long stretches which offer splen
did surface l'or skating, so good that
they have tempted many people from
the Susquehanna shore, along which
there are long reaches of clear ice.
It's been rather tough lines that the
weather has been so cold the last few
days that trials of the Christmas sled
could not be more extensive but If the
cold holds out It will probably be de
fied by a good many youngsters. Al
ready trails have been broken in the
snow in many parts of the hilly sec
tion and Reservoir Park offers some
excellent opportunities. The boys liv
ing along Sixth street have been in
dulging in some coasting down the
sloping streets although the trolley
cars and automobiles make it a rather
dangerous sport.
About one in every half dozen auto
mobiles seen about the city carries the
turquoise blue tag of the 1916 license.
This is not required to be displayed
until January 1, but officials of the
State automobile registration division
say that no one seems to want to run
any risks. Some people are showing
both the 1914 and 1915 tags.
