THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 31 ] * 1 CLEAN YOUR PAVEMENT IT ought not to be ever necessary for the police chief to order arrests for violation of the city ordinance pro viding that sidewalks be cleared of snow within twenty-four hours after the fall. ( True, this winter there has been ( an unusual amount of shoveling to be j clone and the average property owner ( has got a pain in his back getting rid j of "the beautiful." But judging from { the appearance of many a pavement there are some property owners in Harrisburg who haven't so much as ( raised a blister. And what is more, j many such are citizens of prominence ; in the city, according to the chief of t police. e Colonel Hutchison has issued a ( warning, and rightly, that he will en- force the law, no matter whom it may etrike. j When you come to think of it, no •, .man who cares a whit about his fel lows will permit ice and snow to lay , on his pavement where it may any ( minute lead to fractured bones or , worse. In Steelton the other day a j foreigner died as a result of a fall on the ice; in this city, fully a score ( of persons have been admitted to the hospitals suffering with broken bones sustained in falls on icy pavements. Surely, the man who causes such ac- ' cid cuts is not doing as he would be done by. Every time you neglect to clean your pavement, you aro breaking the < Golden Rule. Ever think of it that way before? : Also —and this is important—do ' not forget that there are hundreds of i men out of work in Harrisburg who • would be glad to earn a quarter on i the sidewalk in front of your home. Harrisburg may -rt-ell be proud of Its ; Natural History Society. It is doubt ful whether in any city of this size In the State or country will bo found an organization doing so much in its line. The latest noteworthy piece of work is the scheduling of Sir Douglas Maw son. the famous explorer, for a lecture hero February 10. ———————— WIIY "CUSS"? IN a letter to another Yale profes sor who wants to learn to play golf, ex-President Taft hints that the more a man "cusses" the ball, the worso his score. To quote the ex-President: "Golf has no bad re sults, except that in the outset it may tempt to profanity. This, how ever, is of short duration with a man of any sense, because he finds that the less he resorts to profanity and impatience "the better the score?" But why stop at golf? Isn't the same true, in any and everything, that the less one resorts to profanity and impatience "the better the scare"? No man ever won friends by using profanity. It is extremely doubtful whether anybody ever got much busi ness by "cussing the other fellow out." Sportsmen in all fields havo learned tho lesson of patience and self control which means "keeping your mouth shut" and your eyes and ears open. OUR TRADE SOUTH IN view of the widespread interest in extending the trade of the! United States in Pan-American ter ritory one might gather the im- * pression that the businessmen of this country had been entirely neglectful of their opportunities in that direc tion previous to the outbreak of the war in Europe. That this is not the case, but on the other hand that many wide-awake merchants and manu facturers have been taking full ad vantage of the great and growing market to the South, is shown by the report of business between the United States and the Latin-American na tions for the year 1913, just issued. It comes as a surprise to be told that the United States enjoys a larger proportion of the foreign trade of these republics than any other coun try in the world. In 1913 the share of the United States was more than three times that of France, nearly double that of Germany, and twenty five per cent, greaterf than that of the United Kingdom: United States, $803,- 465,815: United Kingdom, $643,586,- 386; Germany, $407,132,374; France, $238,813,453. Until 1913 the lead of the United States in the foreign trade of Latin America was due to Its share of Latin- American exports, but the United Kingdom has heretofore led in the ' volume of Latin-American imports. THURSDAY EVENING. BABJRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 31, 1914.' 'in 1913, for the first time, the United; States took the lead in imports, the value of its shipments to the twenty countries being $325,837,345, as against the United Kingdom, $322,- 228,073; Germany, $217,976,202, and France, $110,484,385. Notwithstanding the efforts put for ward by the British manufacturers in 1914, and particularly since the be ginning of the war, to maintain their position in the Latin-American im port trade and to capture a large share of the German trade, it can be predicted with reasonable confidence that the lead In this trade acquired first by the United States in 1913 will not be lost in 1914. AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION IT is admitted that one of the great needs of Pennsylvania is conser vation of agriculture. In other words, there is necessity for "nurs ing" of the soil which enabled the Keystone State to attain quite a high rank as an agricultural Common wealth while it was furnishing from its depths wonderful quantities of coal, iron and oil and vast quantities of timber and building stone were being taken from its surface. Years ago Pennyslvania raised enough to feed the people within her borders, but now we have eight million souls and a very large portion of them are urban dwellers. The problem is not only how to get the best results from the soil, but how to keep people on jthe farm so that the State will have the benefit of their early training in working it. Recent experiments in transplanting peasants from Europe have not been successful. The peo ple who now cross the Atlantic to en gage as farm workers are not the sturdy thinking folks who made the forests of Penn's land give way to blossoming fields. Neither Is the pay as attractive as in the mine or the mill. In view of this situation, it is a fortunate thing that Pennsylvania has elected as her next Governor a man trained on the farm, knowing the farm and of announced intention of bettering farm conditions. The con ference yesterday with representatives of agricultural interests, for which Dr. Brumbaugh took time in the midst of a busy day among his old friends, the educators, shows that he is anx ious to take up the problem with those well qualified. The meetings scheduled for next month will bring out the best ideas on the subject from the farmers, the stock raisers, the poultrymen', the dairymen, the bee keepers and the fruit raisers, just as the sessions of the State Educational Association here this week have en abled men in authority to get a line on what the teachers think. Con servation associations are also work ing to the same end and the year 1915 should see the establishment of a definite lino of policy regarding agri- ' cultural progress in Pennsylvania. i DAUPHIN CORN CONTEST LOCAL school boards should give County Superintendent Sliam baugh their hearty support In making successful the school corn-growing contest he plans for Dauphin county during the coming year. These corn contests are popular throughout' the Central "West and have resulted ir> much practical instruction ! and increased interest in the public schools and agriculture. They aro a big factor in teaching the boy the pos sibilities and pleasures of tho farm and will no doubt in the end prevent many young men from deserting the land for the city. Superintendent Shambaugh has dis played enterprise and initiative worthy of note along many lines during the brief time he has been in ofllce, but no activity he has undertaken is more fraught with possibilities for good than this corn-growing contest, which is the first step, undoubtedly, toward an experimental farm acre in connec tion with every rural schoolhouse In the district. Nobody tries to teach chemistry without a laboratory and instruction in farming, which many of our schools now attempt,, is of little value without practical demonstration to accompany it. A REAL WEALTHY OLD PARTY FATHER PENN will start out the new year with the knowledge that he has $62,000,000 of assets with which he can open the books for 1915. Of course, it has been known for years that Father Penn had pretty rich old Common wealth, but to-day for tho first time everything that can be classed as State property has been put into an ap praisement just like a manufacturer or a merchant or any good business man would have his affairs arranged at the commencement of a new year. The idea of having a schedule of tho State's assets originated with Gov ernor Tenet. He had been impressed • by the great appropriations made each 1 two by the Legislature, and by the magnificent income of the Com monwealth, but he wanted to know 1 where the money had gone an well as 1 where It was going. For Instance, it was known that the State had been ! buying back the forest lands it had ; given away years ago until it had a million acres, but the Governor want ed to know what the land was worth. It wa* the same with the hospitals and > other State properties. Hence, the > executive picked out three of tho best 1 qualified men on Capitol Hill and put ' them to work. To-day the statement is made that 1 the State has over $49,000,000 worth of real estate and that is valuing It ' low, some say; that it has personal property of over five and a half mil. ' lions and that it has a fat bank bal -1 ance and a surplus of $151,000 in its ' sinking fund over and above the old ■ bonded debt which people won't turn s in. There's more wealth in the name of ■ tho people of Pennsylvania now than . ever before and hereafter at the end of each year the total will be aseer -1 talned and used in the business of tho l State. AX EVENING THOUGHT. How aetivo springs the mind that leaves the loatf of yester<Js>v behind. —Pope. I EVENING CHAT I If the hopes of the officers of the Harrisburg Public Library are realized to-night when the library closes Its tirst year of free service to the people of Harrisburg and vicinity, it will be able to show a circulation of over 100,000 books. When it is considered that the number of books ordinarily in circulation at the library Is about 10,000 this means that each book has been "turned over," to use a library practico phrase, ten times. It will be. one of the best records to be made by any library In the State, and If one with a bent for mathematics desired to carry it out, that each person in Greater Harrisburg, Steelton and some of the daughter boroughs on this and the other side of the Susquehanna took out a book during this year. The figures will be compiled to-morrow and will show a splendid service given free to the people. Old newspapers show that when the new year dawned back in the days when Harrisburg was a pleasant little town and not yet a State capital, the good burghers used to open their doors and lire their guns into the air. Every one had a gun, and could use it, in those days, and the shooting was part of the celebration. Incidentally, it might be remarked that many families sat up until midnight in spite of the fact that candles were expensive. "Within'the next ten years Harris burg will be one of the greatest re shipping, warehouse and transfer points east of the Mississippi," said Charles N. Horsford, shipping head of a big central western manufactur ing concern the other day during a visit to this city. "I have just looked over the improvements under way and have had explained to me those con templated in the lower end of your town," he continued, "and I may say that never have I seen a city more fa vored in a railroad way than this will be when your now bridge, subways and freight depots and yards are com pleted. 1 look forward to the time when the streets centering around this great development will be occupied almost entirely by warehouses and shipping branches of large manufae turies the country over." The Harrisburg Rotary Club's an nual "ladles' night" will be held this year on March 2. Already arrange ments are being made for the event. Lost year the club entertained upon an unusually lavish scale and this year will be no exception. Some new fea tures are being planned, and, while quite as novel as that of 1914, the pro gram this year will bo quite different. The Junior Rotary Club is the first of its kind in the United States, but the movement has met with favor and clubs will bo organized in other cities.' To meet a popular demand half of the meetings of the junior club will be held in the afternoons, some of the younger members being unable to at tend in the evenings. One of the important extra items ' in tho 1915 budget of t,he department ' of streets and public Mniprovements ' asked for by Commissioner W. H. Lynch is SI,OOO for resetting and re placing the concrete posts of the Mul- 1 berry street bridge. Since the con- 1 struction of the bridge many of the 1 posts have been cracked by the cold and have tottered or even fallen from 1 their places as guard-rails. When the bridge was erected none of these posts wero reinforced, and as a remedy for the snapping of the material the com- 1 niissioner of streets has provided for 1 steel reinforcing rods to be fastened 1 between the floor of the bridge and the : posts. Of the nearly 500 posts on the ■ bridge about 150 have already been replaced. It is likely that the meeting of the State Educational Association for 1917 will be held in this city again. The association some time ago com- i mitted itself to tho idea of meeting ' here just before the Legislature con- ' veiled and we will likely have the 1 teachers back with us year after next. The idea of meeting here just before the General Assembly gets together is a i good one, as many members are here ■ (lining the week of the convention, looking over the Capitol and prepar ing for their stay. The convention has an important influence on legisla tion. This is the last day for rabbit hunt ing and yesterday afternoon, In spite of the snow, there were men in the field chasing the "cottontails" In the vicinity of Reservoir Park. Several rabbits were shot right close to the park while en the hills back of Steel ton the banging of hunters' guns could be plainly heard. Members of the State Game. Com mission are looking forward to a big enrollment of hunters of tho State un der the hunters' license law this year. They will present the whole subject to the Legislature in a report on the sub ject. Can squirrels locate a nut they have buried in summer time after the win ter snows have rome? That Is one of tho problems that some visitors to Capitol Parle am trying to fathom lately. It seems that the other day a pair of squirrels finding donations rather slack and few nuts in sight un •lertook some excavating work and digging through four inches of snow came up with filberts. It would seem that the animals were able to spot the places where nuts were buried with out much trouble. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —James Grimshaw Scott, who sug gested the fern as the State emblem, is a. resident of Germantown.

BRUMBM IS STILL I SPHINX Meets a Thousand People in Pitts burgh but Declines to Give Any Intimations SILENT ON HIS SELECTIONS Philadelphia Press Says the New Attorney General Will Be a Philadelphia Man Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh spent all of yesterday in Pittsburgh, but did not give a sign or a word about any of his appointments. He remained as silent as ever, listening to all that was said and saying that he would con sider it. He said that he hoped to have a speaker who was in accord with his platform pledges and that he would be glad to talk over matters with those who disagreed with him. Then he paid a high compliment to Gover nor Tener. —According to dispatches from Pittsburgh the candidate saw a thou sand people in the western city yes terday, including some of the men most prominent in Republican affairs. One of his early callers was Robert McAfee, secretary of the Common wealth, but neither the new Governor or the secretary would say anything about their conversation. Highway Commissioner Bigelow also saw the new Governor, but he also declined to say anything. State Chairman Crow was also a caller. —A dispatch from Pittsburgh gives this account of the Brumbaugh visit: "Members of the next Legislature, sen ators and representatives from west ern counties, he quizzed as to their stand on local option, child and wo men's labor bills, workmen's compen sation. reorganization of State chari ties, better roads and other legisla tion in his own platform pledges. Sen ators and representatives, reporting afterward, marveled that when they disagreed with him the Governor-elect, observing, "You have a good reason — I want to know more about it," never lost his smile. In his public state ments to-day and last night Governor elect Brumbaugh reiterated his dec larations in favor of local option and woman suffrage; declared he hoped in coming to Pittsburgh to see . those who wanted to confer with him In stead of having them come to Phila delphia to establish a precedent by which he will keep continually in touch with the State affairs outside of what goes on in Harrisburg." —Governor Tener was highly com plimented by Dr. Brumbaugh in his formal statement. In the statement the new Governor said: "I am interested in the organization of the Legislature to the extent that I want a speaker elected who is in en tire sympathy with the pledge I made to the people in the campaign, and 1 am opposed to any candidate for speaker who is opposed to those prin ciples to which I stand committed. I am not ready to talk of appointments yet, in fact, Pennsylvania now has a governor. It appears to mo that courtesy requires that we all keep this in mind. I am still a privato citizen. Your Governor came In under a cloud, but after four years we must all ad mit that ho has given the State a good, businesslike administration. My appointments 1 do not expect to an nounce until a day or two before I take office. ■ —The Philadelphia Press to-day says: "The Attorney General \yho will serve under Governor Martin G. Brum baugh will be a Phlladelphian, a elose friend of the Governor-elect and a man experienced in public life, but his name will not be announced until after the organization of the legisla ture on January 5, and probably not until a day or two immediately pre ceding-the inauguration on January 19 of the new Chief Executive. These conditions have come directly to the knowledge of the Press from unques tionable authority. They set at rest the rumors which have, been in circu lation for the last few days that the attorney generalship was to coino as a New Year's gift to one of a dosien men whose names have been men tioned, residents of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, of Erie and other parts of the State. Dr. Brumbaugh has nov er change'd from the position he took immediately after his postelection rest In Florida. That was that he would not give the matter of appointments as governor consideration as long as he was superintendent of schools. Schools and politics—or st.-rtesmanship—were to be kept entirely separate and dis tinctive so far as it lay in his power at least." —Speaking of the r.aithcr appoint ment yesterday in Philadelphia Sena tor E. 11. Vare summed up the whole public service board situation this way: "While Ido not now what, the attitude of the Senate will be, I do know that the Public Service Com missioners will serve under Governor Brumbaugh and therefore it is only right and proper that his wishes on their confirmation shall bo learned. Until he expresses himself on the question X do not care to announce what I as a senator propose to do." —John 11. Maloney was last night re-elected president of the West End Democratic Club. It was his third , election and there was no opposition. ' Luther F. Kawt was re-elected vice president; William McAllcher was , made secretary, and Fred L. Morgcn ; thaler, treasurer. Trustees for the coming year are: Elmer E. Holbert, Edward Weber and J-I. F. Peters. Members of the new membership com > mittee are. Fred L. Morgenthaler, I Eugene J. Fogarty and Elmer E.
