Some towns take writeups in trade papers. If these periodicals have a real circulation, this should have value. Frequently the circulation is confined to people who buy the write ups. In some cities businessmen print cuts of local scenes on their corres pondence envelopes. But you can't make a town seem attractive merely by a photograph of the brick walls of wome factory, although that is one effective fxirm of advertising. You need to show pleasant streets, at tractive buildings, trees jind other fo liage, to give some impression of taste and civic self respect. Statements of a town's advantages are often circulated on letter heads and envelopes. These are so detailed lhat few people read them. Still they help the citizens of a town to respect their own achievements. Many towns display a town slogan «w the railroad station. These mottoes are often boastful and impossible. If they concentrate in a phrase some real service the town is rendering, the i-lea Is excel lent. Campaigns fur new industries are common. These arc hopeful where the citizens arc willing to devote time and money to the effort. * All these ideas are good if well bandied. But the ""most effective method is the cultivation of town spirit. Some places are full of people who always disparage their home place. They think this shows that ihey are persons of fine discrimina tion. This attitude repels would-be residents and discourages home en terprise. In other towns the citizens take all possible occasions to speak well ! of their own community. They com- j mend its schools, churches, social life and business push. They send away programs of entertainments, i pictures of attractive scenes, news papers containing reports of notable events. Where a town has that spirit it becomes widely known. It can't help growing. That is the spirit that a large num ber of Harrisburg people have con stantly on tap for strangers. l,t is the kind everybody should cultivate, both for home and foreign use. HUNT THEM DOWN JL'ST. indeed, is the demand of the Firemen's Union that the police department hunt down and punish those who wantonly se:jd in false fire alarms. Nothing could be much more con temptible than to send in an alarm of fire on a cold winter morning, with the streets in their present dangerous condition. Scores of men who have volunteered their services for the pro tection of the city's property are rout ed out of bed on a fool's errand. And every time the firemen race over the icy streets they are endangering their very lives. Enough that they must place themselves in jeopardy for real cause, let alone to satisfy some idiot's notion of playing a practical joke. Heavy penalties have been provided for the punishment of just such prac tical Jokers and it would be well if the police put forth every effort to bring them to the bar of justice, where they may be given the full penalty of the law. ARGUING HOW much time do you waste daily in foolish argument? If none, then you are Indeed evincing a degree of common sense shown by few. For the average man wastes at least a half hour a day trying to uphold some pet view of his own in a loud and tumultuous tone. Take a trip through any offloe or any I industrial or commercial establish ment early in the morning and see how much arguing and how little real work Is accomplished during the first half hour of the day. If it isn't the selling of the Athletic infield, It Is the war or the political situation or some thing such. And what does it all amount to, anyway? Is anybody ever convinced to your opinion unless you are an ac knowledged expert? Does anyone be lieve what you may think about the THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 7, 1915. allies' chances to take Berlin or the Kaiser's to capture Paris? Who places any stock in your loud statements that the legislature will do this or that or the other thing'.' Certainly very few. Solomon it was who said: "He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life." GENTLENESS IX a plea for more gentleness in speaking; over the telephone, the New York Telephone officials hu/e j pointed out an opportunity for ail ! America. They say: With all the world wailing in the shadow of a mighty conflict; with the thought.') of men tempered by. and sensitive to. the barometric changes of resulting business con ditions; with the presence dally of countless chances for commercial and social friction, the New Year brings an unprecedented oppor tunity and obligation for the de velopment of that greatest of arts —the art of gentleness. Two mil lion times daily the people of the metropolis send their voices out over the telephone! T\V" -illlon times daily a point of personal con tact is established! Two million times dally an opportunity is pre sented for the practice of the art of just being kind in thought. In manner, and In speech! With such an opportunity for the building up of the gentler qualities of Ameri can business, and such an obliga tion for their ever-watchful pro motion. the year 1915 should be the greatest of all years in the de velopment of gentleness as a pre dominant American characteristic. Not oi>ly in speaking over the tele phono should the art of gentleness bo practiced, but everywhere—in office, shop and home. He who is big enough to be always a "gentle" man is a gentleman indeed. Too many men and women are wholly without those qualities which bespeak'kindness within the soul. The man who is rough and uncouth in his home or business relations is certainly not filled with love, either for his fel lows or his Maker. True, he has his punishment, for such a character Is shunned by every one. WHAT IS MINING? ACCORDING to advices from Poltsville. counsel for the Cnited Mine Workers intend to appeal to the Supreme Court from the decision of the Dauphin County Court in the mine foremen's j certificate law controversy. In this case the mine workers sought to have Chief of Mines James K. Roderick enjoined from issuing certificates of eligibility as mine foremen or assistant foremen to men who had passed the examination and had served five years as miners. The miners' organization contended that the term mining meant five years' actual "cutting" of coal, not live years' general work about a mine, in which there is considerable division of labor. In deciding the case Judge McCar- I rell held that the legislature did not specify what it meant by mining and that the distinction asked could not be made. To this conclusion the union dissents, holding that the term mining must be used in a sense accepted among workers to a certain degree. The whole matter comes up most opportunely. The Legislature is about to convene and it is now furnished with a striking illustration of the ne cessity of clarity of language In fram ing statutes. The dockets of the Dau phin County Court, to say nothing of others, are tilled with actions brought because of some ambiguity in the laws, some failure to clearly set forth the in tent of the legislature, a lack of care in making a provision, and so on. The cold storage and other acts of 1913 were found to be full of pities where the administration of the laws was in terfered with, but which, if they had been disapproved, would have struck down good legislation. GOOD BOOKKEEPING IT speaks well for the bookkeeping methods of the County Treasurer. Arthur H. Bailey, that thus early in the year he is able to givo full and complete accounting for every penny that passed through his office in 1914 and the present state of the various funds of the county govern ment entrusted to his care. When Mr. Bailey went into the Treasurer's office he found in use there a system of accounting entirely ade quate for the purposes for which It was devised a half-century ago, but ; entirely out of keeping with modern j methods and laborious in the extreme. The county had grown and the un | revised system had become antiquated lin the process. I'nder Mr. Bailey all this has been changed and there is no more question as to where the county stands financially. That can be ascer tained at a glance. Of course, that is only as it should be, but the fact still stands out that it remained for County Treasurer Bailey to make it so. BUSINESS LOOKING VP WITH the Pennsylvania Railroad Company ordering structural steel and rails by the thousand tons, the Baltimore and Ohio | spending millions in new freight cars 1 and specifications being prepared for j the erection of a large number of en- I gines at the Juniata shops, Indications j are bright for a busy year. ! Perhaps the most significant of all ! the announcements of trade revival I that have appeared in the public press • of the past few days is that of the | Pennsylvania Railroad Company to the | effect that It will ask its stockholders j to approve a large Issue of bonds fol lowing the annual meeting in March. It has been some time sinoe a finan cial transaction of the klml has been attempted. The conditions have not been auspicious for the marketing of j bonds, and when a corporation so j closely In touch with business eon- I dttlons as is the Pennsylvania Hail road prepares to ask the public to buy new securities in large quantities It is a pretty good Blgn that there are fair skies ahead. AN EVENING THOUGHT The sacrifices of Qod are a broken spirit. A broken and h contrite heart. O God, thou wilt nut despise.—P«. 51-17, 1 EVENINGCHCTT "Harrisburg must do something to keop«W'est Shore business in tlio city Insteifll of letting it get away in the form of new commercial enterprises ucioss the river, unless it counts upon waking up some day to tind a large and thriving WEST Harrisburg com peting with it," said a well-known .lunishuiger yesterday after an auto mobile trip to Wormleysburg, Wash ington Heights, Lenioyne anil Camp Hill. "Those West Shore towns are growing at k rate that will very soon carry each one to the borders of the other and the natural thing will be the development of a city on the Cum berland county side of the river that might well be called West Harrisburg. The 'cross river communities now have almost as many advantages as Harris burg. Their schools are good, they have electric lights, pure water, gas and sidewalks. Within the past year I have seen develop along the pike lead ing Irom the river to Camp Hill one large grocery store, a hardware and general store and a garage that matches anything to lie found on this side of the river. And playing right into the hands of the enterprising Cumberland county folks who are bent on establishing a business center in the vicinity of the building of the I.emoyne Trust Company aro the short-sighted people of Harrisburg who will not get together with the Val ley Railways Company on some plan whereby that corporation may lie bet ter able to serve the hundred's of peo ple who live on the West Shore and want to do their purchasing in Har risburg. I'nder conditions as they are it is almost impossible to formulate better schedules than those in op eration and until closer conneethma are established people who would oth erwise come to Harrisburg will do their purchasing so far as possible in Cumberland countv." Some of the deer who remained hidden on the mountains in Perry and Dauphin counties during the season when hunting was on have appeared to show that they are still around. I he other day a couple of men who returned from an automobile ride up the Susquehanna declared that they saw two deer in a valley between Hali fax and Dauphin. Several men have reported seeing deer in Perrv county and not far from the river. The deer appear to know that the danger sea son is over. I'riends of Colonel W. Haves Grier, the Columbia editor, have sent him their best wishes upon his decision to retire I'rotn active business life. The Colonel was superintendent of print- In? and binding and was here for sev eral years. In fact, there was not a year in the whole period from ISSG that he was not in or about Harris burg. except, perhaps. In war time. Men who have been observing the operations of the State Dairy and Food Dlylson say that as a result of the activity of Dairy and Food Commis sioner James Foust and his men the sale of "soft drinks" which had no ancestry outside of a chemical factory has been much reduced. They say that the sale of chemically made "fruit flavors" has been considerably reduced and that tile drinks come nearer being tuie to label than known for a long time. "Lemon pop." which used to be a fenitiil and wonderful concoction in this city, now owns up to lemon for its flavor. Charles Meredith, a West Shore lad, while skating on the river Monday found embedded in the ice near the Cumberland side a large cattish, ap parently frozen to death. He dug it out, took it home and put it into a bucket of water to "thaw it out." In the yourse of ten minutes the tisii was swimming about as lively as though it bad not been in cold storage ever since the river closed some weeks ago. Many of the market people who were in town yesterday started from home Tuesday. The roads in some of the country districts were so slippery that drivers,were unwilling to risk the trip during the early morning hours. They got into Harrisburg early Tues day evening, took in the theater or moving picture shows, spent the night at boarding houses and were on the job bright and early in the morning. One of the interesting things of daily life is watching the development of ! candidates for city and county nomi nations which will be made at the pri mary election in the spring. Mora people are commencing to feel the call of public service than for a long time and candidates are appearing in the most unexpected citizens, it is safe to say that there will be more aspirants 1 for the county offices this spring than i known for a long time and the fall campaign bids fair, even at this early date, to be one of the most diverting in a long time.

BRUMBAUGH IS GENUINELY PLEASED Expresses Gratification at the Man ner in Which the Legislature Organized Here DISCUSSING HIS PLATFORM Democrats Picking Men For Post masters Before the Storm Breaks Over Them Governor-elect Martin G. Brum baugh yesterday met prominent legis lators at Philadelphia for discussion of the proposed acts and expressed his pleasure at the harmony prevailing in the organization of the Legislature. The new governor told many friends yesterday that lie considered the start as a most successful one. —The formal statement of the new] governor on the subject was: "I am, naturally pleased at the action of the' Legislature in organizing in a manner that insures speedy action on all mat ters to which we are pledged to the people of Pennsylvania. It is indica tive of party unity in the speedy en actment of the IP.WS the people have by their votes declared to be necessary to the welfare of the State. I most heartily welcome this spirit of co operation. We must enact progressive legislation in harmony with the spirit ol the times. With the Legislature and the Executive in accord, our citi zens will obtain legislation of a most desirable nature in the near future." —The Philadelphia Inquirer in Com menting upon the situation of yester day says to-day: "Governor-elect Brumbaugh yesterday started the ma chinery going for the early introduc tion of bills in the general assembly of Pennsylvania to put into effect leg islation to carry out the platform pledges of the Republican State com mittee, as well as his own personal pledges to the people in the lato cam paign. He sent for State Senator James P. McXichol. who introduced the resolution calling for a joint com mittee of the Senate and the House to co-operate with the Chief Execu tive-elect in the introduction of bills to fulfill these pledges. Tliey had a lengthy conference and later State Senator Edwin H. Vare was closeted with Dr. Brumbaugh, and then Speak er-elect of the House Charles A. Am bler had a private interview with him. The understanding is that work shall begin at once on the preparation of the various measures, which shall be known as 'administration bills.' They will first be submitted to the State Legislative Bureau -nd afterward they will lie passed upon ->v the Brumbaugh Attorney General. A conference with the Governor-elect by members of the joint legislative committee on these campaign pledge bills will be held next week, when the whole subject will be carefully considered." —Democrats here to-day were in terested in a rumor that Colonel Bill Fairman, the picturesque Democrat from Punxsutawney, would be named as postmaster to that town by Con gressman Palmer before March 4. Colonel Hill would look well selling sta nips. —Colonel Fred Wilson, a Washing ton party man, has been given a job in tile Philadelphia municipal court, one by one the roses fade. —Ex-Senator James L. Adams, of Pittsburgh, is quoted as saying that Dr. Brumbaugh plans to have a Sftate highway commission created. This was one of the projects broachfed dur ing the Stuart administration and be fore the present highway act went through in the first legislature under Tener. —Auditor General Powell is said to have some lurking ambition to meas ure swords with State Chairman Wil liam E. Crow for the United States senatorship when Senator Oliver re tires. —Frank B. McClain formally re tired as mayor of Lancaster last night and will come here next week to pre pare for things in the Senate. —J. J. Durkin. a friend of the re organizers, has been selected as post master of Scranton by the machine. —A new row has broken out in Pottsville and the mayor and coun cilinen arc threatened with impeach ment and surcharge. C. F. Foley, already well known in litigation, is be hind it. —Mayor Filankenburg yesterday I asked for the resignation of Dr. Rich-1 ard O. Harte as director of public i health, lie will also have the assist-1 ant director, the cause of the row, re-| sign. Dr. S. Lewis Zeigler has been | appointed director, the third since the) reform administration began its trou- : bled voyage. —Dr. Brumbuugh's recent statement i that lie expected to get abound the State a good bit in the next four years j ami that lie planned to visit as many \ of the sixty-seven counties as possible | has resulted in numerous invitations j being extended to him to visit. In fact, i there is a tremendous demand for the ' new Governor to appear at various functions and his iirst spring in office will be marked by delegations coming here to get him to visit their homes. It is said, however, that the new Gov ernor will not make many visits dur ing the legislative session, preferring to remain here where he can keep his hand on legislation. —Gossip about the chairmanships of the committees In the next legis lature are attracting much attention. It appears to be generally bcllovcd that James F. Woodward will be chairman of the House appropriations committee, a place he held in 1909 and 1811. [From the Telegraph, .Tan.

The above was anonymously sent to a Stough worker, requesting ad vice. Following is the answer: Dear Sir: The grasshopper is a distructive bug and has no soul to lose. The honey bee is a wise little guy for he don't manufacture old boose. The sinner that sins is wisest of all when he hits the trail and saves his soul. But the knocker keeps knocking the Stougli campaign and loses his chance on Heaven to gain. The knocker is knocking and knocking again, keeps on boosing and being profane.

Indeed, such statements as those recently made by a Philadelphia clergyman to the effect that "If Jesus Christ came to Philadelphia to-night he would not be wanted by the clergy," and "Religion would prosper better irt Philadelphia If half the heads of the church people were cut* off," are not only ungenerous, but postively untrue.
