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. 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. Hdl
bert.
—Michael Bowen was yesterday
named mercantile appraiser of Lu
zerne county and M. C. Murray sealer
of weights and measures.
—Dr. Henry M. Stlne. who has en
tered the race for county commis
sioner, was busy receiving proffers of
support to-day.

War will not have any ill effect on these Expositions. Not one of
the forty-two foreign nations have withdrawn, but some have
increased their participation in the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition. Many of the exhibits from the foreign countries are
in San Francisco now, not to mention the handsome exhibits of
forty-three of our states. This, the world's greatest exposition,
will open right on time, biggerand bettcrthan originally planned.
You can visit the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego
without any additional railroad fare over the cost of the
trip to the Panama-Pacific Exposition if you travel over the
Union Pacific—Southern Pacific.
This route it two hundred and 6eventy-three miles shorter and
' makes from eleven to twenty-eight hours faster time than any
other line Chicago to San Francisco —is protected every mile by
automatic electric block safety signals—and is double tracked

California trains, obviating the necessity of leaving train to eat.

be visited enroute when you travel this way —through cars on all
trains —insist on the best, it costs no more. Send for booklet
