WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. 13
THE HEART OF DISTRIBUTION
THE Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce could not have conceived
a more appropriate "trademark
for this city than "Harrisbure,
the Heart of Distribution. - '
It tells the story in a nutshell. That
is exactly what this city is—a heart
of distribution. This becomes more
tutd more evident every day. Manu
factories are all very well and need
more of them and shall continue our
efforts to increase the number that call
Harrisburg home, but our future is
distinctly and pre-eminently that of a
transfer and distribution center.
This city is the hub of the Penn
sylvania Railroad east, west, north and
south; the Cumberland Valley south
at still another angle, the Reading
system to the hard coal regions, east
«ind south to tap Virginia, West Vir
ginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania.
According to the United States Census
Bureau, within a radius of fifty miles
roundabout Harrisburg, 981,000 peo
ple reside; within 100 miles, 6.234,000;
200 miles. 20.100.000; 300 miles, 27.-
P54.400: 400 miles, 36,505,000, and 500
miles 43.592.000.
Thus, it may be seen that Harris
burg has not only the central location,
but it has the railroads and the popu
lation. These together afford the big
shipper opportunities for quick de
liveries to distant points possible at
■ inly a very few points in the entire
county.'. }t has been a realization of
these facts that has brought to this
city all of the big warehouses and dis
tributing agencies that employ so
many hundred men and which will
make the Harrisburg of the future,
double the population of the city of to
day.
But we must continue to advertise.
Not all of the big manufacturers are
so keenly alive to the advantages of
Harrisburg as are those who have lo
cated here. They must be informed
and we must be the agencies whereby
that information is kept before them.
The Chamber of Commerce suggestion
that the "Heart of Distribution" label
bo placed on all business stationery is
a good one.
ACCOUNTS IN ORDER
THERE ought not to be any great
delay in auditing the accounts of
Dauphin county this year. Coun
ty Controller Henry W. Gough's
annual report to the court to-day is so
comprehensive, concise and clear in
all of its details that there would seem
to be very little left for the auditors
to do.
Mr. Gough's report is made in ac
cordance with State law. It embraces
the receipts and expenditures in detail
and classified. together with a full
statement of the financial condition of
the county for the year ending Janu
ary 4, 191 S. It shows just how much
money the county had to spend last
year and where every penny of it went.
The report brings out the very inter
esting fact if the county just now
wished to wipe out its entire net bond
ed debt it could pay off all but about
130.000 of it from the balance in the
treasury alone. The net bonded in
debtedness is $167,977.48; the cash
amounts to 5137.456.35.
Other interesting items are the fact
that the county has a thousand dol
lars more of a cash balance this year
than last year, that it has redeemed
424,000 worth or its bonds; set aside
more than $17,000 In its sinking
funds; paid $9,000 for the construction
of its share of the State road in South
Hanover township; nearly $7,000 for
the erection of a new bridge at Mil
lersburg and more than $17,000 for a
concrete viaduct across the Swatara
at Middletown.
Mr. Gough would appear to be right
in his belief that the county was never
in better shape financially than now.
Incidentally, this condition Is in large
part due, no doubt, to the careful sup
ervision of all expenditures through
ithe office of the controller. This new
x>fllce seems to have amply justified ita
creation.
THAT SECOND TERM
PRESIDENT WILSON says that
he was not thinking of an
nouncing his candidacy for
1916 when he made the state
ment in his Indianapolis speech re
cently that the people of the United
States might have a chance to judge
of his acts. Doubtless not. The
President does not need to announce
his second term aspirations. Every
body knows ha has them and every
body likewise knows that dfcspita the
WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG (6686 TELEGRAPH JANUARY 13.1915.
one term plank in the Baltimore plat
form on which Dr. Wilson stood when
he was elected, the Democratic party
will renominate him.
It Is all very simple. There la not
another man In tha Democracy who
could be nominated. To reject Wilson
would be tantamount to confessing;
tration had been a failure in the eyes
of the party leaders, which In turn
would be tantlmount to confessing
that the Democratic party is not capa
ble of successfully governing, even un
der the most favorable conditions.
Republicans will continue to hope
that nothing will interfere with Wil
son's renomination program. The
President and Democracy are one and
the same. Democracy is on the down
grade In public opinion and there Is
more and more evidence thatthe voters
believe the President to be Incapable of
measuring up to the practical require
ments of the White House Job. No
body questions his sincerity, but there
is general distrust of hts policies and
lack of faith in his theories. The re
nomination of Wilson will spell cer
tain defeat of the Democratic party.
The Democrats are in a distressing
ly painful position. They cannot
swap horses in the middle of the
stream and stand no show of reach
ing dry land with their present steed.
ENOLA TEX YEARS OLD
ENOLA is to celebrate the tenth
anniversary of the opening of
the big railroad yards at that
point on Friday of this week.
The town has much over which to re
joice on such an occasion. Little more
than a decade ago where Enola now
stands the peaceful farmhouse was
the only siprn of habitation and only
an occasional freight train broke the
silence that brooded over the country
side. There was no sign nor thought
of the great, bustling railroad yards of
to-day nor of the thriving, prosperous,
progressive town that adds so mater
ially to the population and the com
mercial importance of Cumberland
county.
But while young in years. Knola is
old in accomplishment. Few com
munities anywhere in the State can
boast of so much done in so short a
space of time. It has up-to-dute stores,
enterprising churches, first class
schools, a water, sewer and street
lighting system, an active Y. M. C. A.
and all of the accessories and embel
ishments of an up-to-date town.
When it is considered that all thi3
has been brought about in the short
space of a decade it must be admitted
that Enola is not without ample rea
son for celebrating its tenth anniver
sary.
PI J OPE II ACKNOW LEDGMEXT
THE proposal to invite ex-Presi
dents Taft and Roosevelt to be
the special guests of the United
Slates government at the cere
monies attendant upon the official
opening of the Panama canal and to
place a battleship at the disposal of
each for the trip to and from the
Isthmus, if carried out, would constitute
a very proper and gracious acknowl
edgment of the services of these two
men in the construction of the great
waterway. Both rendered invaluable
aid in solving the problems that arose
and in putting the work through in
record-breaking time. The nation can
wcll ati'ord to show its gratitude in the
way Suggested.
Possibly it is just as well, however,
that a ship apiece be provided, and we
suppose the Navy Department will
keep them far enough apart to insure
against any chance violations of neu
trality.
NEW YORK'S BACCHANALIAN
ONE of the larger New York ho
tels reports that thousands of
dollars' worth of jewels and
cash were found on the floor
and tables of the dining and grill
rooms on New Year's morning after
the annual revel.
What must have been the condition
of the women who dropped the dia
monds? About the same, we sup
pose. as that of the men who left their
money on the tables.
As a nation, we should be especially
thankful for cities like "slow old
Philadelphia" and slower Harrisburg,
where the greeting to the new year
does not sink to the low level of a
Bacchanalian orgy. Here the crowds,
full of jollity and goodfellowship,
greet the year in that old-fashioned
manner where the. ringing of bells and
the blowing of horns is the accepted
methods rather than the clinking of
champagne glasses and the swilling of
wine.
Just why New York believes it is
necessary to end one year and begin a
new to the vile hilarity of the ordinary
Metropolitan cabaret is more than any
sane "provincial" can grasp.
TRADE EXTENSION TRIP
THE Chamber of Commerce could
devise no better way to adver
tise Harrisburg in the cities and
towns of the surrounding terri
tory than by the trade extension and
get-acquainted trip proposed for next
month. Those who were fortunate
enough to participate in last year's
little journey of the kind will testify to
the benefits and enjoyments they de
rived therefrom.
We suspect that Lancaster, York,
Lebanon and Columbia people think
just a little better of Harrisburg as a
result of last summer's visitation and.
it is certain that the Harrisburg party
acquired information about those
towns and their people they could not
have learned In any other way. Per
sonal acquaintanceship is at the very
foundation of trade extension and
there is no better way of making new
friends than during such a trip.
Two hundred rabbits have been
turned loose near Hazleton in an ef
fort to increase the game supply there.
According to scientific calculations.
,there should be In the woods near that
place next year 9.364 rabbits.
Governor Bleasc has dismissed the
National Guard. Probably afraid some
body would order it out to stop a riot
in the Executive Department.
Dunkirk has a distinctly Scottish
sound, but we suppose the peopl« of

I EVENING CHAT I
Under the automobile law In Penn
sylvania at the present time when an
autolst Is notified to appear before a
justice of the peace, alderman or
magistrate and, on appearing. Is fined
for a violation of the statute, he has
no means of knowing whether or not
the money thus collected ever reaches
the State Treasury, as provided by law.
It Is a warranted assumption that jus
tices of the peace, aldermen and
magistrates In Pennsylvania are, aJ
moet without exception, honest and
able officials, but in cases where dis
honesty does prevail and where, on ac
count of rush of business, lack of time,
forgetfulness and other reasons, re
turns are not made there is each year
a sum of no mean proportion which is
not turned In.
To prevent the possibility of such
fines being withheld from the State
E. A. Jones, Second Deputy, State
Highway Commissioner, in charge of
the Automobile Division, has suggested
a plan to check up the fines imposed.
The plan outlined by Mr. Jones Is as
follows:
"In conjunction with section 22 of
the automobile law, headed 'Dis
position of Fines,' etc., I believe there
should be some way by which fines
paid by automobile owners to justices
of the peace, aldermen and magis
trates should be checked up in order
to prevent any moneys from being di
verted from the object for which they
were intended, or. perhaps, in some
coses to guard against dishonesty In
making returns for same.
"T would suggest that every autoist
fined take a receipt in duplicate for
the payment of the same and forward
the duplicate to the secretary of his
automobile club. or. if not a member
of a club, then to a person designated
by the State Highway Department, so
that a record may be kept of all such
fines and the State Highway Depart
ment will be in a position to check
them when the official report is made
to the department by the officers who
imposed the fine. This will keep a
check of the honest returns on all fines
collected for the violation of the law.
thereby giving this department, as well
as the parties paying the fine, the sat
isfaction of knowing that moneys paid
by them had gone to the place desig
nated by the law.
"I believe by the co-operation of the
secretaries of automobile clubs and
their members a complete check-up
system can be established and a cor
rect accounting for all fines thus be
made a matter of State record, thereby
preventing any chance of dishonesty
and removing the possibility of un
called for or unjust arrests."
Friends or Professor H. A. Surface,
who some time ago suggested him for
Secretary of Agriculture under Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, are astounded by
the flood of newspaper comment since
Professor Surface announced he would
permit his name to be used in that
connection. Not a single objection has
been raised in the press and scores of
Democratic as well as Republican edi
tors have heartily endorsed his candi
dacy. The work of Surface is well and
favorably known in every county and
not a few of the writers add testimon
ials of their own observations concern
ing its effectiveness. More attention
has been given to the Surface candi
dacy by the newspapers than that of
any other man whose name has been
mentioned in connection with a cabi
net place.
The coming celebration of the tenth
anniversary of Enola recalls the fact
that the Initial account of the estab
lishment there of the largest classifica
tion yards in the world was
printed in the Harrisburg Telegraph.
When the story was handed to the
editor by a reporter, who is still a
member of the Telegraph statT, some
of the facts were questioned. The re
porter stuck to his assertions, how
ever, and the story was printed. In
less than twenty-four hours, letters
came from Pennsylvania railroad offi
cials in Philadelphia and Harrisburg
denouncing the story as a fake and
severely criticising the Telegraph for
publishing it. But the paper made no
denial. Several months later work
was started when surveys were made
and negotiations begun for the pur
chase of the property needed for the
new yards. The unauthorized an
nouncement proved to be one of the
biggest "beats" in the newspaper his
tory of Harrisburg.
The Telegraph is also responsible
for the present name. Long after the
Enola yards were opened railroad offi
cials referred to the new yards as the
"West Falrview yards." The Tele
graph continued to use the shorter
term and subsequently railroad offi
cials changed their order and it has
been Enola ever since.
There is still considerable gossip and
controversy as to how the little flag
station that was the original Enola
was named. Frederick William Leis
man, Harrisburg's veteran German
newspaper editor, now residing at
Camp Hill, is credited by many with
the honor. The story is that Mr. Lels
man at one time owned property
where the yards are now located.
There was no station nearer than West
Fairview or Marysville, and Mr. Lels
man had one established for his ac
commodation. When asked for a
name he studied for a few minutes,
and then remarked, "Well we arc all
alone here, so let's spell 'Alone' back
ward and call it 'Enola.'"
Another story is that Wesley Miller,
who owned a large part of the land
taken over by the railroad company
included in his terms of sale that the
new station and yards and future
town, if there be one, should be called
after his daughter, Enola.

LAUDERMILCH A CANDIDATE
James F. Woodward Warmly Ap
proves of Governor-elect
Brumbaugh
The West End Republican Club Is
preparing to parade 350 strong at the
inaugural next week. The members
will be garbed in handsome overcoats,
high hats, light gloves and will carry
canes. Plans for the parade will be
announced this evening at the club
house when a pigroast will be served
to the members. A large turnout Is I
expected. The final meeting previous
to inauguration will be held next Mon
day evening when an oyster supper
will be served. Last evening six new
members were received into the club,
which is growing and in a flourishing
condition.
—Ferdinand Laudermileh, of Flsh
ervllle, is being urged by hts friends as
a candidate for poor director on the
Republican ticket next Fall. It is said
that Mr. Laudermileh is certain to
have the solid support of the upper
end for the office. He has been for
some years a Republican committee
man in his district and Is well known
all over the county. He is the pro
prietor of a shirt factory in Ellzabeth
ville and was so enthusiastic over Dr.
Brumbaugh's candidacy last Fall that
when the Republican campaigners
passed through Fishervillc on their
way to the Gratz fair he dismissed his
working force for an hour in order to
permit them to attend the reception in
the public square.
—The purpose of Governor-elect
Brumbaugh to give his inaugural ad
dress the form of a plain statement to
the people of the Commonwealth as
well as to the legislators setting forth
exactly what he proposes to accom
plish through legislation and the an
nouncement by Speaker Ambler that
Brumbaugh legislation is to have tlie
right of way in the session which opens
Tuesday were warmly approved yes
terday by Representative James F.
Woodward of Allegheny county. Mr.
Woodward had an interview with Dr.
Brumbaugh. . His candidacy for tHe
chairmanship of the House committee
on appropriations—a position he filled
in the Legislature of 1911 makes his
views of importance.
—"As a member of the House and if
I am appointed as chairman of the
committee," said Mr. Woodward, "I
propose to exert myself to the utmost
to see that campaign pledges to the
people are enacted into laws. Before
the election we went through the State
telling the electors what we stood for
and what we sought to accomplish.
Now that the election is over our
promises are just as binding as they
were before."
—"Does that apply to the planks of
the Republican platform or to the
platform which Dr. Brumbaugh
wrote?"
/■ —"It applies to both. There are
more things perhaps in the Brum
baugh platform than are In the Re
publican platform."

A few weeks ago. the manager of an

"Keep airship off arriving seven

A few minutes after the telegram

manager was detained until the tele
gram was explained.

WHAT NEURASTHENIA IS
Neurasthenia 13 a condition of ex
haustion of the nervous system. The
causes are varied. Continuous work,
mental or physical, without proper
vacation periods, without proper at
tention to diet and exercise, also wor
ry over the struggle for success, are
the most common causes. Excesses of
almost any kind may produce it.
Some diseases, like the grip, will cause
neurasthenia. So also will a severe
shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitive
ness, Irritability, a disposition to wor
ry over trifles, headaches, possibly
nausea.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco
holic' tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed toward building
up tho blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
act directly on the blood and with
proper regulation of the diet have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemia, or bloodlessnesa, shown by
most neurasthenic patients, is also
corrected by these tonic pills. Your
own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills.
Two useful books "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat
and How to Eat" will be sent free by
the Dr. Williams Medicine co., Schen
ectady, N. Y., if you mention this pa
