TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5
AN AUSPICIOUS START
IT augurs well for Pennsylvania that
the members of the Legislature
approached their first task with
harmony. There was a breeze over
tho Republican nomination for
Speaker, which carries with it the
election as of yore, but as Robert P.
1-labgood. one of the aspirants, said
last night in withdrawing: "The wel
fare of the Republican party !s
greater than ambitions of its mem
bers." It was this spirit that prompt
ed the contestants to yield to Dr.
Brumbaugh's preference for Charles
A. Ambler, and it is to the credit of
the erstwhile candidates that they did
it so gracefully. As for the selection
of the president pro tern, of the Sen
ate, the members did the wise thing
in choosing a man of the experience
and talent of Charles 11. Kline.
In both chambers there was mani
fested to-day a general desire to help
Dr. Brumbaugh. Even the Demo
ocratiu members evinced an Interest
and tho incoming administration will
find plenty of support for even those
measures about which there have been
some questions in the past.
Over 590,000 voters called Dr.
Brumbaugh to be Governor and he
had a majority over all rivals of al
most 70,000. He has taken the posi
tion that pledges are pledges, and he
lias called, more directly, perhaps,
than have some other new Governors,
upon tho legislators to follow his lead
in giving the people of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania what they de
manded at the polls.__
The legislators 'Veajionderf at the
first call to-day.
THE DEER SEASON
WIIILE many sportsmen may
not agree with the proposi
tion submitted to the State
Game Commission to have
the deer hunting season moved to the
first fifteen days of December, it
would seem that the suggestion Is
based on good, hard, common sense.
The Legislature will have to deal with
the subject and it should be consid
ered on humanitarian grounds, not
those of hunting.
In hunting deer nowadays sports
men use guns almost as high
powered as an army rifle. Bullets
carry for miles. The loss of life by
a chance shot has occurred. Deer
hunting requires a good eye and a
steady nerve and as the kills are pos
sible at long range, there is always
more or less danger.
After December 1 the leaves are off
tho trees and the underbrush and
men can see for long distances, com
paratively speaking, in the wioods.
The advantage of this would be ob
vious. Then, too, it would enable
men to track deer in the snow, which
ordinarily falls by that time of the
year.
BIBLE CONFERENCE
HARRISBURG Is extremely for
tunate in having Dr. C. I. Sco
field, the noted Bible teacher, In
charge of the annual Bible con
ference of the Young Men's Christian j
Association.
Dr. Scofield is looked upon by bib
lical authorities as one of the greatest,
if not tho leading, religious teacher of
the day. He will take those in attend
ance at the conference through the
Bible from Genesis to Revelations in
his forceful, interesting way.
The Christian Association has made
a good suggestion when it hints that
an evening spent at the Bible confer
ence will be worth ten spent at the
"movies."
THE "BREAD LINE"
IT is to be supposed that those
Philadelphia charity experts who
condemn the "bread line" and
urge that its work be assumed by
the Society of Organized Charity
would decline "first aid" to on injured
man and watch him slowly bleed to
death pending the arrival of a trained
surgeon.
To be sure, many unworthy persons
breakfast free of cost to themselves
at the expense of the "bread line,"
and most certainly it Is not to be
recommended as a means of perma
nent relief. But the "bread line"
forms at 4 o'clock in the morning and
it is reasonable to suppose that the
poor devils who make up its shabby,
shivering procession are hungry to
the point of starvation. Men who
have eaten a hearty supper do not
rise at that hour even in tho hope of
a free breakfast.
If the Society of Organized Charity
TUESDAY EVENING, •pn HARRlSfiUft© tfiSS&l TELEGRAPH JANUARY 5, 1915.
i will detail one of Its well-paid, wolT
fed agents—or, better still —one of the
"experts" who have been so loud in
protestation against "indiscriminate
giving" to be on hand at 4 o'clock
each morning to take the names and
ascertain the needs of the outcasts
and down-and-outers who constitute
the "bread line" they may be able to
formulate a program for the "Intelli
gent effort" of organized charity of
which they prate so learnedly.
Let the "bread line" alone. It is
enough to know that its ranks are
made up of the hungry and the desti
tute. That being so, our iirst duty
is to feed them. Nobody ever re
formed on an empty stomach.
THE LODGE AMENDMENT
SENATOR ROOT'S plea for free
and unrestricted admission into
the United States of Belgluns who
may care to take up residence in
this country not only offers a partial
solution to the problem of relief with
which we as a nation are now con
fronted. but it is in full accord with
the high ideals of liumanltarianism
upon which our government is
founded.
Senator Roofs arguments for an
emergency amendment to the immi
gration bill to permit the free entry
of Belgians and their families are all
summed lip in this very striking para
graph:
We should open the door to Bel
gium. because the people have no
country. It has been taken away
from them. Exiles, they are wan
dering over the face of the earth
without homes, and there never has
been, since the foundation of our
Government, a people to which the
hearts of Americans have turned
with as deep compassion or as
strong desire to give relief to suf
fering. There is no other people In
the world without government,
without a country. Two millions
of them are exiled in foreign lands,
without means of earning a liveli
hood. Never in modern history has.
there been a case like this. It is
exceptional and should he entitled
to exceptional treatment in this
bill.
All this is true beyond question. We
owe the Belgians whatever of aid we
can give. We have been and are send
ing them shipload after shipload of
food and clothing. The amendment
offered by Senator Lodge and sup
ported so eloquently by Senator Root I
would exempt from the literacy test
and contract labor provisions Belgian
farmers who. during the war or as a
result of conditions arising from the
war, declare they camo to buy land
and to become American citizens.
Thus we would at once give oppor
tunity and hope for permanent better
ment to thousands who could find
peace and freedom among us and re
duce the numbers who must live by
our charity until war shall cease and
the plowshare be substituted for the
bayonet in Europe. Nevertheless, we
shall expect some of the eminent
theorists now in control at' Washing
ton to find objection to the plan.
ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS
COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S peace
proposal is no doubt practical as
well as Utopian. l In brief, he
would have the efficient civilized
nations of the world act with the com
bined military strength of all of them
against any nation which transgresses
at the expense of any other nation. No
doubt some such plan will be at
tempted following the conclusion .of
the present European conflict.
But far more interesting to Ameri
cans are Colonel Roosevelt's views ol'
the treaty obligations of the United
States toward Belgium. Regarding
The Hague treaty guaranteeing the
neutrality of Belgium the ex-President
says:
T took the action I did in direct
ing these conventions to be signed
on the theory and with the belief
that the United States intends to
live up to its obligations, and that
our people understood that living
up to solemn obligations, like- any
other serious performance of duty,
meant willingness to make effort
and to incur risk. If I had for one
moment supposed that signing
these Hague conventions meant lit
erally nothing whatever beyond the
expression of a pious wish which
any Power was at liberty to disre
gard with impunity. In aeordanee
with the dictation of self-interest,
I would certainly not have per
mitted the United States to be a
party to sucli a mischievous farce.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, however, take the view that
when the United States assumes ob
ligations in order to secure small
and unoffending neutral nations
against hideous wrong, its action
is not predicated on any intention
to make the guarantee effective.
The only conclusion that can bo
based on this statement is that, had
the 1912 elections resulted in tlie re
election of Roosevelt to the presi
dency, either Germany would not have
invaded Belgium or we as a nation
would be now taking part in the war
in Europe. Speculation as to either
possibility is futile, but, in the light of
the Colonel's exposition, doubt grows
as to the worth of our own many re
cently enacted "peace" treaties,.
RISPHAM IS RIGHT
IN his recent recital in this city David
Bispham. world-famed baritone, vig
orously championed English as the
language which American singers
should use.
In his forceful way he brought out
the fallacy of singing in Italian, French
or German to an English-speaking
audience. He showed that the most
exquisite song is nothing but nonsense
to the average listener when sung In a
language which he does not under
stand.
It is a pity that there are not more
Bisphams on the concert stage to
champion tho commonscnse cause of
the English language. Too many, alas,
imagine their reputation depends on
their ability to warble or shriek in
some foreign language rather than to
charm by an intelligent use of their
native tongue. The concert halls
would be better filled if music-lovers
could be sure they would not have to
listen to songs that are as Greek to
them.
RAILROADING AND THE ARTS
EMPLOYES of the Union Pacific
Railroad are urged Jn a New
Year bulletin to take at least
three baths a week, drink three
pints of cold water a day. search their
own souls, sleep without dreaming and
to cultivate a love for art, music, lit
erature and children.
Flnr! That is real uplift work on
the part of the Union Pacific! Ilarri
man, Jim Hill, Commodore Vander-
"bllt, Georgd F. Btter and the rest of
the old boys were a crowd of fogies!
All they insisted upon was that men
should know about block signals, tlio
use of the airbrake, coupling appa
ratus, switching mechanism and time
tables, and that they should be decent,
law-abiding citizens without bad
habits.
But ho! for the new philosophy of
efficiency!
"EVENING CHAT
The speakership of the House of
Representatives, which goes to Mont
gomery county to-day for the tlrst
time in fifty years or more, lias al
ternated a good bit between the two
big counties, with the northern tier
doing pretty well. As a matter of
fact, since IS7O twelve of the Speak
(ers, and some have been re-elected
and then elected again, have come
from either Philadelphia or Alle
gheny. The last Speaker, George E.
Alter, came from Allegheny, whence
came John F. Cox. Frank B. Mc-
Clain, of Lancaster, the Speaker of
1909, is the new Lieutenant-Governor, j
Henry F. Walton, of Philadelphia,
preceded him, and W. T. Marshall, 01'
Allegheny, came after John R. Farr, j
now Congressman from Lackawanna, j
Henry F. Walton and Henry K. Boyer i
alternated for a while in the nineties
and before tliem C. C. Thompson, of
Warren, had two terms. Before him
were J. L. Graham, Allegheny, and
John E. Faunce, of Philadelphia, in
1881 B. L. Hewitt, of Blair, was
Speaker. Before him was H. M. Long,
Allegheny. He was preceded by E.
Heed Myer, of Bradford. S. F. Pat
jterson and H. 11. McOormick were
another pair of Allegheny men. Be
-1 fore them was William Elliott, of
I Philadelphia. Jamas H. Webb, of
Bradford, and Butler B. Strang, of
Tioga, were early in the seventies.
To-day is Charles A. Ambler's for
tieth birthday and he was congratu
lated before he was out of bed this
morning. Friends called to tell him
all about it. Mr. Ambler took his
honors modestly, smiling as usual,
and insisting that he could not make
a speech, but that he could work with
a large W.
Strawberry shortcake, the first of
the season, appeared on the bill of
fare of a downtown restaurant last
Saturday. Needless to say, the cake was
more short than strawberry, but the
berries were there, right enough, and
they were large, luscious and had the
blush of southern sunsets on their
checks. Every year the Florida grow
ers bring the fruit into the northern
markets a few days earlier than the
season previous. This time they seem
to have established a new record.
Local strawberry growers say the
plants have not been injured in the
least by the intense cold. The beds
are well covered by snow and liave
been protected to that extent. At all
events, far more damage is ordinarily
done by the alternate freezing and
thawing of the ground than by steady
freezing weather such as has been ex
perienced this winter.
Harry Boyer, sealer of weights and
measures, says that the proportion of
measures below standard is not only
rapidly on the decrease, but that he
finds most dealers not only willing but
anxiods that he should examine their
scales and measuring apparatus. "A
great many dealers," said Mr. Boyer,
"have sold short measure and light
weight without knowing it. They are
for the most part as honest as their
patrons and just as anxious to give
full weight and measure. Neverthe
less. I have found and continue to find
an astonishingly large percentage that
do not Come up to standard, although
the number of such since my inspec
tions wore begun has been more than
cut in half."
In addition to tabulating all the fig
ures relative to paving, grading, sewer
and building operations that has been
done during the year just closed by tho
city department of streets and public
improvements, James C. Thompson,
chief clerk to City Commissioner W.
IL Lynch, has included comparative
figures showing what has been done in
these branches of public work for the
last twelve years. These figures have
all been reproduced on blueprint
sheets so that one by a glance at the
sheets can obtain accurate information
oh these subjects.
"I am back again in Harrisburg for
the opening of the session just to see
how things start," said ex-Auditor Gen
eral A. E. Sisson, of Erie, who came in
yesterday afternoon. The General was
warmly greeted by his old friends in
the city on and off the "Hill."
"Just now I'm neither governor nor
mayor." said Frank B. MeClain, the
Lieutenant-Governor elect, last even
ing. "I'm here to see things move. I
always like to see the start and to be
in at the finish."
Among the Governor's callers yes
terday was W. H. Brooks, former
member l'rom Philadelphia and noted
as the author of the Brooks high
license law. uir. Brooks served for
almost a decade as a member an<l
was an active member 011 the lloor. lie
was a colleague of City Clerk Charles
A. Miller.
Ex-Judge Frank Wheaton, of Wilkes-
Barre, was a figure here to-day. lie
came to attend the argument in the
coal tax case.
