Bow man, head of the wateij department, will be received with approval by the public. This is the second cut in water rates since Mr. Bowman took charge a year ago. The fact that the new superintendent was able to reduce tho minimum rate from $6 to $5 and now can add 1,000 cubic feet to the amount that may be used without ex ceeding the $5 cost is largely explained by his policy of running the depart ment purely for the benefit of the con sumer and not as a dividend pro ducer. The annual surplus of other days will be cut down under the new rates, but the public will get the bene fit. This is all to Mr. Bowman's credit. In view of these facts few will re gard seriously tho mutterings of Mayor Royal against reducing the tax rate a half mill this year because of the pos- 1 slblllty of having to raise it to 9V& mills next year. The Republican coun- V cilinet) have displayed ample ability to I "figure closely" and the Mayor's ex ' pressed fear that the city may suffer under a 9-mill rate are not well grounded—especially since every ap propriation Is based upon the esti mates ef the Mayor's own colleague in Council, Mr. Gorgas. Mayor Koyal Ir a clever politician and he plays the game all the time. Just now he does not like to see the city tax rate low ered because he fears the reduction will aid the Itepubllcan members In their canvass for re-election next Fall. The Republicans have been getting entirely too much credit to suit his Honor, who has been crowded pretty well out of the limelight since the Clark act went into effect. Whatever may he the eventual re sults of the commission form of gov ernment under which the third class cities of the State are now operating and the Clark act is still very much in an experimental form—it must be con ceded that Harrisburg is accomplish ing under its provisions more than many other municipalities that were far more eager for it than was this city. For instance, Krie is facing an in- E crease of tax rate for the coming year, while not one other third class mu nicipality In Pennsylvania except Har risburg is likely to have a lower mill age in 1915 than in 1914. Our own Council has not only lopped a half mill off the assessment, but our water rates have been twice reduced and ample provision has been made for the needs of the city during the coming year. This, despite the fact that it has been found necessary to create a number of new offices, including an increase of elx In the police force. Council has "been very conservative in this respect. A, dozen policemen more would not have been too many. The new law also has changed the method of making the assessment of city property, and this in the end, ■while likely to be more effective, will cost less In all probability than the old. The passage of the ordinance creating the place of city forester meets a popular demand and will fill a real need if the proper man is chosen for the position, as now seems certain. Altogether the expenditures for the coining year have been carefullj planned, so far as indications point, and the councilmen appear to have done about as well with the money at their disposal would appear pos sible. However, Harrlsburg has not yet set its seal of approval on the commission form of government act. It has merely decided to adopt President Wilson s policy of "watchful waiting." Our people as well as our officials are studying the law and Its effects and will be better able to express an in telligent opinion concerning it two years from now than at present. SPANISH TV Tirn SCHOOLS THE most practical suggestion presented to the Siate Educa tional Association at its opening , session yesterday was that of Governor-elect Brumbaugh, who urged that the study of Spanish be intro duced in the public of Penn sylvania. The recommendation is not new. Henry Orth fought for it as president of the Harrisburg school board years ago and it has been dis- I cussed in these columns at intervals since, but the need is now more urgent than ever. Dr. Brumbaugh summed jap the whole argument for Spanish in WEDNESDAY EVENING, tho Bchools when he said it is "the language of Pan-America south of us, the language of one-tenth of our own people, tho language that opens to us the doors of honorable trade in a hundred harbors; the language that may, and probably will, because of the present war, become, what it once was, the language of diplomacy throughout the world." In a very few years every big busi ness house in America will number Spanish-speaking people among its customers. If we are to deal success fully with these Pan-American neigh bors of ours we must be able to con verse with them in their own tongue. Tho salesman who speaks Spanish can name his own salary and opportuni ties will be infinitely increased during the next few years for the man with a working knowledge of that language. As Dr. Brumbaugh said during the course of his remarks yesterday: "In the last analysis, an education that does not put.a larger loaf on a work man's table is scarcely the kind of education the people should be asked to support." A knowledge of Spanish does just that. It is difficult to un derstand why Spanish was not long ago made at least an elective study with German and French. COMPLIMENT TO PENNSYLVANIA IN expositions of bygone days Penn sylvania was asked to make ex hibits showing her pre-eminence in the production of coal, of iron, of steel, of oil and other things which have made this industrial Common wealth famed around tho globe. When people went into a Pennsylvania build ing at an exposition or to the section allotted to the Keystone State in one of the ornate structures dedicated to manufacturing they expected to see great steam hammers, huge beams, guns, armor plate, rails, sections of building or bridge material, coal, cars, engines and materials and articles that go with the wonderful business of Pennsylvania. Some' of these ex hibits at Chicago, Atlanta or St. Louis will be remembered by thousands as they stood gigantic, looming up be side other exhibits in a way that typified the place of their State. To-day Pennsylvania is far greater in her industries, in the variety and value of her products, in the size of her payrolls and in the number of her wage-earners than in the days of the Columbian or the Louisiana Pur chase Expositions. Yet when the of ficials of the Panama-Pacific Exposi tion asked of Pennsylvania a worthy exhibit of that in which she holds [foremost rank they did not select the products of the mine, the forge or the shop, but her work for conserva tion of health. Pennsylvania was in vited to show to the world what she is doing to lessen the death rate, to teach people how to live in a sanitary way, how to take care of themselves. In short, this industrial State was picked out as first in the work for humanity. It was a great compliment to Penn sylvania and it is gratifying to know that the genius of her Health Com missioner, who has raised the State to such a proud place in less than a decade, will present an exhibit that will show to the nations what our Commonwealth is doing now to carry out the greatest conservation project of all, that of life. NO TIME FOR "DOX'TS" HERE SCHOOL superintendents and su pervisory principals of New Jer sey adopted a "platform of don'ts" at a recent meeting in Atlantic City. Some of them are worth Quoting, as illustrating the viewpoint of the New Jersey educator toward the problems with which he Is confronted and his attitude toward his "job," the school teacher and the public at large. Here are a few of the more striking: Don't get away from practical work. Don't seek the "extras" at the expense of the essentials. Don't neglect any opportunity to win the fullest possible co-opera tion of your teachers. Don't forget that many of them expect to marry. Don't chill their enthusiasms. Don't get the idea that the nor mal school bred teacher doesn't need supervision and help. Don't seek public appreciation, for you won't get it. Don't take seriously talk about the "golden age," when everybody could spell. Don't think that textbook learn ing constitutes an education. Don't think that knowledge alone fits one for life. Don't think because composition writing is difficult it is unneces sary. Don't neglect personal associa tion with the teacher. Don't fail to cultivate a friend ship for nature. Don't become so practical that you lose sight of the spiritual. Don't fail to be polite under all circumstances. Don't think that smartness is any part of true learning. Far be it from us to question even remotely the wealth of wisdom and experience that prompted the formu lation of this "platform." Doubtless) every plank in it is worthy of its place. But we may be forgiven for rejoicing that Pennsylvania's State Educational Association has so many things it wants to do that It does not have much time for "don'ts." It is the posi tive, not the negative, that produces results. AT HER OLD GAME ENGLAND Is up to her old game of tampering with and hinder ing American shipping under the guise of imagined violation of some of her "rights." This policy cost Great Britain treasure and pres tige a century ago and the present would seem to be no time for the Eng lish government to risk a possible repetition. It is gratifying to note that President Wilson has taken firm stand against this undue molestation of United Stat€3 shipping and It is to be hoped that every owner who has been damaged will insist upon full re imbursement, and that the govern ment will back him up. England Is ready enough to wink at the violation of neutrality laws so long as Germany is the sufferer, but the skipper who hides contraband goods beneath a noncontraband cargo and heads lor a hostile port has committed an unpardonable sin. The majority of vessels delayed or help up indefinitely are legitimate traders and either must decide to let them alone or pay the bill when Uncle Sam presents it, as he is certain to do. EVENING CHAT ] Walter H. Gaither, designated by the Governor to be a member of the Public Service Commission, used to be a newspaper man and a good one and is the son of one of the early editors of Western Pennsylvania. His father, Walter W. Gaither, started the lirst newspaper in the Beaver Valley at Beaver and his son early took to news paper work, being connected with sev eral Pittsburgh newspapers and study ins law on the side. Mr. Gaither prizes a letter he received from William MrKinley complimenting him upon his handling of a big story. In Pittsburgh he handled financial and court work and then became political editor. One of his brothers is actively engaged in newspaper work in New York after having served tor a time as managing editor of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. His family comes from Southern Pennsyl vania, his grandfather having been one of the leaders of the bar of Somer set county. Few men in the State have a wider acquaintance than Mr. Gaither. Dr. Brumbnugh had to have his joke yesterday while addressing the teach ers. And of course he had it at the expense of Henry Houclc. Dr. Houck had introduced him as his oldest living pupil and the doctor went on in the course of his speech to say that the people of Pennsylvania were shy on eggs. He said "that means we must have more hens^—'more hens and more Henrys like Henry Houck." The secret about W. Harry Baker's first name is out. It is Wllhelm. His name is Wilhelm Heinrich Baker. Senate records are to be corrected ac cordingly. Governor Tener Is receiving some in teresting mail these days. The letters are not the ordinary, run which char acterize the mail of the Executive De partment, but personal letters of ap preciation. Some of them have come from the most eminent men* in the State, others from personal friends and some from the last persons one would think. They tell of the matters with which the Governor has dealt with to the satisfaction of all fair-thinking men and some of them are laudatory. They are letters which the Governor will always keep. The proposition to transfer the site of the grandstand of the coming in augural from the immediate front ot the central entrance to the State street entrance to the park will be appre ciated by thousands of people. It will enable people to get a complete view of what Is going on, stich as was afforded when the Capitol was dedi cated, instead of forcing the populace to swarm over the lawn, tramping on flower beds and sliding down terraces. Incidentally, it will do away with ne cessity for a grandstand along the River Front. Farmers are rejoicing that the un precedented December cold snap was preceded by a snowfall that has left the fields covered to the extent of sev eral inches and more where the winds drifted the snow into hollows. The snow has protected the wheat admir ably and the outlook at this time is very good in Pennsylvania. More wheat than usual was planted last Fall, the prospect of war prices for grain having prompted many farmers to increase their acreage. The cold weather has not prevented automobile enthusiasts from taking long trips. A car came through last Tuesday from Washington, coming around by way of Baltimore, and the driver boasted that he come through on an average of more than twenty miles an hour without chains. He found the roads generally good, he said and even crossing the mountain at Kraddoek Heights he encountered no difficulties to speak of. A Camp Hill couple who enjoy motoring will go to Baltimore next week if the cold weather holds. Tons and tons of paper are being prepared for the opening of the legis lative session. Much will be required for the printing of bills, the calendars, the reports, the Journal and other things. The store being laid in by the State which buys the paper, shows that It will be ready for anything. Last session was the most prodigal in re gard to printing ever known and at the end there were wagon loads of printed matter for which there was no earthly use sold on the Hill and carted away. Probably some of it is coming ing back from the bills in the form of new stock. Prominent among those attending the great conference of educators is J. P. McCastfey, former mavor of Lan caster and one of the best known school men in the country. His white head was noticeable in the audiences and he was always greeted by many frlendH. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —The Rov. Dr. N. H. Harnisli, of Butler, has gone to California to re side. —S. M.

Newspaper Advertising Wins Out Again A large industry located in New York recently cancelled all other forms of advertising and doubled Its newspaper appropri ation.

HARRISBURG TELEbRAPS WEST ENDERS TALK ■GUI PLIIII I Will Have a Notable Turnout of the Men in the Marching Squad of Clubs ! DOUGLAS IS HONORED AGAIN Governor-elect Brumbaugh Goes Away Without Talking About Appointments Members of the "West End Republi can Club determined at their eighth annual meeting last night to turn out in force in the inaugural parade of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh next month and uniforms of black coats with silk hats were adopted. It is expected to turn out a large membership. The club re-elected H. A. Douglas as president for the third time and re ports of a generally prosperous con dition were made. H. C. Sponsler was elected vice-president and H. W. Mil ler treasurer.

Cunningham being made the next attorney general, although Dr. Brum baugh has given no sign. In the Phil adelphia Ledger to-day this report, which has frequently been commented upon in the Telegraph, Is played up. It is also pointed out that there is also a possibility of Attorney General John C. Bell being retained in which event Mr. Cunningham would remain as. first deputy and the rest of the force be undisturbed. —Dr. Brumbaugh left last night for Pittsburgh without making any l announcements. He said during the [evening that he came here as an edu jcator and he did not go to Capitol Hill or the Executive Mansion. After the doctor had greeted the school teachers he went to the Commonwealth Hotel where he met a committee represent ing agricultural interests and discus sed legislation of that kind. During the evening many people called upon him. To-day he Is in conference with Allegheny county Republican leaders. —While much is being printed about possible opposition to the confirma tion of the appointment of Walter H. Gaither as public service commission er, his friends on Capitol HHI believe that he will be approved in the Senate. The course will be to refer all of the appointments of the present adminis tration to a special committee for ac tion. The appointments of the whole commission will be considered at that time. —Twelve thousand children were entertained by the Vare brothers in Philadelphia last evening, it being the annual "downtown" Christmas cele bration. —Senator-elect E.
