When the poor, old, much-abused long-suffering Rec ord declines to stomach a speech It must bo pretty bad, for remarks con tinually attain attention there that could not command a place even in the speaker's home newspaper. Bowdle hails from the South and would no doubt grow red in the face, pound his desk and froth at the mouth 'ln a wordy defense of his chivalric re gard for American womanhood. Yet •vvc catch him in the very act of drag ging her dignity and modesty at his chariot wheels to make an antisuffrage holiday. that of a good many other loud-talking Southern Congress , men, his virtue lies mostly in his mouth. A REVIVAL OF KNITTING KNITTING socks for the soldiers of Europe is now fashionable. In many cities women are seen plying the needles at theaters and teas. It is a reminder of far-back country scenes, when the women used thriftily to produce the family stock ings. What has become of this house -wifely habit? Do women knit any longer for home use? Or have they •abandoned the practice for the more polite and decorative art of embroid ery. with its charm of color harmony? The decline of knitting may seem a loss in good housewifery. Still one suspects that few men to-day would rejoice on gathering in knitted socks from Santa Claus. These old affairs fitted the day of heavy, long-legged cowhide boots, their soft thickness keeping the feet from chafing. But they were perspiring affairs. Modern habit leads people to drop excessive Hothing and to rely on active exercise for comfort in cold weather. Also, what has become of all the kidlets who each used to expect from the Christmas tree a pair of Grand ma's knit mittens or gloves? Perhaps Hlie still keeps at it, and finds her bene factions welcome. But there are a good many advanced youngsters to day who would weep if compelled to wear them to school. Also, Mother may regard leather gloves as more, suited to store clothes and the family position in society. To the poor fellows in the cold war trenches of Europe a pair of American socks means much. It takes seareh ings of heart, consultation of direc tions and personal advice from the ciders for the younger women to pro duce them. An older knitter, inspect ing one of the abdominal bands the girls are doing, remarked that the soldier who got it would call it an abominable hand. But anyway this gift across the sea represents a generous heart. Inci dentally it may suggest to the one who makes it that time spent on any form of useful handicraft is far from being wasted. IMPORTANT TO HARRISBITRO D I HECTOR WILLIAM J. HARRIS of the Census Bureau has call ed attention to the fact that a large number of manufacturers have neglected to make the reports required for the census of 1914. This not only delays the publication of the census, but adds greatly to the cost of the work. Tho law directs that a • ensus of manufactures shall be taken every fifth year, and the Director has done everything possible to facilitate the work. . The blanks on which to make the reports were mailed te all manufac turers with the request that the re turns be forwarded to the Census Bu reau by January 15, 1915. The co operation of chambers of commerce, boards of trade and other organiza tions Interested in our industrial de velopment has been solicited, but, notwithstanding their very general re sponse and assistance, comparatively few reports have been received, and a garge number of those that have reached the office are'very defective. This is really an important matter, locally as well as nationally. x It is feared that the importance of these statistics showing the condition of all Industries during the year 1914 is not appreciated. Unless all manu- WEDNESDAY EVENING, facturers m«kc proper returns the re lative standing of one Industry with another and of one city with another will be seriously affected. The city of Harrisburg should not lose the position to which it is entitled indus trially, and it is the duty of every citi zen to see that full and complete re turns are made of all our Industries. The Harrisburg Chamber of Com merce recognised the Importance of having the city properly represented in this census, and has recommended that all manufacturers give the re quests for census reports prompt and careful consideration. It is hoped that each manufacturer will appre ciate his individual responsibility, and send in his completed schedules at once. BREWERIES AND CHURCHES ACCORDING to the American Contractor, a journal devoted to the building: trades, the breweries of the country spent $3,000,000 in buildings and extension during 1513 as against sl-4,578,000 in 1908. The same journal's figures show that the churches of the United States spent $14,870,506 in building oper tioss during 1918; in 1906 they spent! $5,632,000. Rather an amazing story! But the most amazing part of the journal figures is that during the first ten months of 1914 the churches spent just ten times as much for building operations as did the beer ir.'t nufacturers. Who remembers how many brewer ies have been built In Harrisburg in the last eight years? And who, how many churches? Those who do re member will understand how such figures can be true. HEARTY FAREWELLS ONE of the notable features of yesterday's inauguration was the hearty manner in which Gov ernor Tener was greeted as he approached the Inaugural stand. There were distinct marks of warm feeling and personal friendship in the wel come extended to him on the eve of his farewell. Ordinarily a retiring Governor is a mere figure in the background. Not so Governor Tener. He has made hun dreds of friends since he came to the Capital City practically unknown ex cept in a newspaper way. He leaves the city far more popular than when he arrived. The better our people came to know him the better they lllsed him, which is a tribute of which any man may be proud. FORTUNE FOLLOWS HIM GOOD fortune seems to follow Governor Brumbaugh like a shadow. After a day and a night of violent rainfall and high winds the sun shone and the calm came to make pleasant the hour of his inauguration yesterday. Directly the ceremony was over the clouds closed in again and a cold wind blew out of the north. Even the weather was kind to the new Executive. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP THE adress of F. G. R. Gordon, a labor representative, before the National Civic Federation in New York city recently contains a few thoughts for the consideration of those who look with favor on gov ernment ownership of telegraph and telephone lines. After a tour of Europe and careful study of the situation be fore the outbreak of the war Mr. Gor don submits the following conclusions with relation to the government own ership of the telegraph: Makes you pay for every word in the address and signature, an aver age of fourteen, which the tele graph companies give you free. Makes you send your telegrams to the Government telegraph of fice; the companies furnish messen ger service free. Makes you pay for your tele grams in advance. Does not allow you to have running accounts the same as telegraph companies do. Some Governments even make vou pay for the telegraph blanks which telegraph companies give you free. The Governments put no tele graph offices in hotels for public convenience. , The courts refuse to recognize any legal liability whatsoever in regard to errors and delay in the transmission of a telegram. Government service is inferior to that of the telegraph companies. The Government employe is not so attentive to the public as the company employe. The British post office has re centlv made a report as to its op erations for the year ending March 31. 1914. It estimates a loss on its teiegraph service of £1,230,956, which is something like ?6,000,000, and is a greater deficit tlian in the previous year. The question may be asked fairly, If the American government obtained control of the telegraph lines of this country, wouldn't the loss be far greater, and could we do better In tho way of service ? The gravity of the situation is very manifest, and I want you to know that I have been giving a gri-at deal of attention to it, with the earnest desire to see some way by which the difficulties could be solved without committing the Government, in principle, to any aetion which would plague us in tlie future. Because the danger of tiie present situation is that under the pressure of what appears to be necessity we should make some radical departures from sound eco nomic praotice which in the future vears we would very much regret. * We have got to make great sacri fices not to make fundamental mistakes. So spoke President Wilson to the cotton growers pleading for govern ment help. How do these views com port with the President's advocacy of his ship purchase bill? Are not the proposals of the cotton growers and the administration shipping views es sentially the same in their funda mentals? AN EVENING THOUGHT Lord Christ, my trembling Hps in spire. So with Thy love my words Im press, That I may link each heart's de sire * With Thy vast eager power to bless. —Howard Arnold Walter, 1 EVENING CHAT i Headgear furnished considerable in terest for the people of the city during the inaugural ceremonies yesterday and It was frequently commented upon that the number of "high hats" was not nearly as numerous an in former years. In fact, only about two-thirds of the men who were participants wore the glossy tiles. Moat of them wore derbies or soft hats. Governor llrumbaufth wore a derby, which was the first time In a long time that a Governor hus appeared on his inaugural day without a silk hat. Governor Tener wore his hat and ex-Governor Penny packer contented himself with his £T SeveraJ of the prominent stat* officials woro their derbies and soft hats. Another interesting fact "Was that the frock coat wa*< not as con spicuous as in some former years. Most of the dignitaries wore cutaway coats, several of them the fashionable one-button. A few contented them selves with sack coats. In fact, all the way through it was noticed that this Legislature started its sessions with less regard for the garb which used to be looked upon as an indispensible part of the attire of a statesman. The new Governor believes in plain cloth ing and he ha« many friends among the officials of the state and the legis lators who share his ideas of sim plicity. The appearance of automobiles in the procession yesterday afternoon made quite a difference from the old time parades when four-horse ba rouches conveyed the Governors and two-horse vehicles the rest. In fact, some of the parades used to be made up of half a mile of carriages and be tween the aids and the teams there were hardly any horses in Harrisburg that did not have a part in the parade. Automobiles were used a couple of inaugurations ago, but never to the extent that they were used in the pro cession of yesterday. Incidentally, the club section of the parade was more of a feature than for a long time. The tendency appears to have less and less of the military and more of the po litical organizations. The State police have become a fixture. Among visitors to the city for yes terday's ceremonies was Provost Edgar * Smith' of the University of Penn sylvania, with whom Dr. Brumbaugh has served on a number of committees and who was a member of the faculty which gave the new Governor his de gree from the University of Pennsyl vania. He remarked that he expected to be here a good bit during the ses sion and WHS planning to come here to address the students at the Wharton school smoker. Superintendent Samuel B. Rambo, of the State's buildings and grounds, was complimented for the strength of the stand for the inaugural ceremonies yesterday. it turns out that Mr. Rambo, with his usual forethought, built it for considerably more than the number it was expected to accommo date. He figured out that there would be a rush on it after the ceremonies. And there was. The stand was built like a church. Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown said last night that Harrisburg was something like a second home to him. He remarked upon the fact that two of his ancestors had been Gov ernors and that his forebears and him self had been here so much that they felt entirely at home. The new Attor ney General had for an uncle William F. Shunk, one of the most eminent en gineers in the world, whose life is re called with pride by many Harrisburg ers and whose family resides here. Colonel James E. Barnett, of Pitts burgh. formerly of Washington, for mer State Treasurer and commander °f the Tenth Infantry, is another man with Dauphin county connections. He was here yesterday and recalled his kinship to the Elder family. He Is related to a number of prominent peo ple in this vicinity. • An interesting fact in connection with the inauguration yesterday was that the time Governor Brumbaugh took the oath of office was half a minute earlier than the time ot' Gov ernor Tener. Governor Brumbaugh took the oath at 12.06%. Chief Jus tice N. Dewlin Fell was the officiating judge four years ago, as he was for Governor Stuart. The fire excitement held in the city until late last night and almost every visitor to Harrisburg went to see the ruins of the fire. The fire attracted almost as much attention as the parade. Henry Gurney Morris, who died yes terday in Philadelphia, was one of the iirst directors of the Pennsylvania bteel Company. He was noted as a mechanical engineer and will bo re called by many residents of this citv and Steelton. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE \ —George W.

DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY All that glitters isn't gold, but some people are perfectly satisfied with the glitter. Look not upon the wine when it is red. It is apt to make you color blind, and the first thing you know you are ordering champagne. Success only comes to the man who goes after It with a club. Experience will give a man tuition, but he must bo born with Intuition. Many a man's Idea of contentment is having more than he can use. Take care of the night before and the morning after will take care of Itself. Our opinions cost us nothing so long as we keep them to ourselves. Where some people aro concerned, rubbing it in will keep you on the outs with them.—New York Times. Get What You Ask For A piece of glass may feel like a dollar in the durK. But it loses its value when you turn the light on It. The article some dealers tell you is "just as good" as the advertised brand you ask for, is the glass dollar of commerce. It usually shrinks in value In the day light. Reputable dealers never offer substitutes. Careful buyers never accept them and avoid the stores that show inclination towards the substitution practice. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH EX-GOVERNDR TENER IS POPUUH) HERE Many Expressions of Good Feeling as He Bids the City- Farewell VISITORS AT THE CAPITOL Make-up of Law and Order Committee Favors Local Option Bill Governor Tener's departure from the Inaugural stand yesterday afternoon followed an expression of best wishes from Governor Brumbaugh. When the address was over the retiring Governor said good-by to his successor and was given a warm handclasp and hopes for ills health and welfare. The ex-Gov ernor rode away from the Capitol in the Stato automobile and at the station Spencer C. Gilbert and a number of Harrisburg friends gathered to say farewell. The ex-Governor was accompanied to Pittsburgh by his brother, Wallls Tener, Robert McAfee, the retiring Secretary of the Commonwealth. ex- Senator David Hunter, Jr., and T. B. Foley, of Pittsburgh. Tho citizens of Charleroi will wel come him home on Monday night with fitting ceremonies. —Among the visitors to the Capitol yesterday was William Lauder, of Rid dlesburg, one of Governor Brum baugh's colleagues on the school code commission and the board of edu cation and a man who was one of the first to boom him for Governor. —The Senate confirmed the Brown and Woods nominations very promptly yesterday afternoon and did nothing else. The House held a fifteen-minute session to hear the inaugural of Dr. Brumbaugh read. —Representative William Haggerty, of Scranton, who has been very ill, was able to attend the sessions this week. He is gaining in strength. —Among former legislators here were Messrs. Dale, York; Conner and Lowers, Allegheny; Cochrane, Arm strong: Keeport, Berks, and Shannon, Luzerne. —Lancaster sot four chairmanships out of tive in the House and one in the Senate. It also has the honor of a Lieutenant-Governor who was also a Speaker. It also has the chairman ships of both committees on mines and mining-. Lancaster always was lucky. —From all accounts the Democratic legislators did not flock to the wind mill yesterday or to-day. The wind mill is not a popular place. • —The make-up of the law and order committee of the House, which will handle the local option bill, is believed by many to indicate the influence of Governor Brumbaugh, who has taken a determined stand in favor of the bill and whose remarks yesterday demonstrated that he means business this session. One story is that Speaker Ambler discussed some names with the Governor, but the Governor did not think they would do and they were dropped. The committee is said to stand 13 to 12 in favor of reporting the bill favorably to the House. The local option bill has been reported out the last two sessions with negative rec ommendations and the action of the committee sustained. Mr. Williams, the chairman, was an active candidate for Speaker and is one of the most prominent local optionists in the whole State and a man of high standing. —The House law and order commit tee is composed of Messrs. Williams. Tioga, chairman; Gans, Philadelphia; Hackett, Philadelphia; Brownlee,Wash ington; Viokerman.

Philadelphia; Kitts, Erie; Shaffer, Columbia, and Flynn, Elk. —Representative Dell, of Hunting don, appears to have landed on some good committees. He is from the Gov ernor's home county and will be an active member. —The Pennsylvania Legislative Cor respondents' Association held its bien nial meeting at the rooms of the news paper correspondents at the Canitol yesterday afternoon and reorganized for the session. L. R. Goshorn, Pitts burgh Dispatch, was elected president; W. P. Gallagher, Wilkes-Barre Record, vice-president; A. Boyd Hamilton, Harrisburg Telegraph and the Asso ciated Press, secretary: John H. Reit- Inger, the Associated Press, Philadel phia, treasurer, and W. R. Douglas, Tri-State News Bureau, Harrisburg, sergeant-at-nrms. Mr. Hamilton was elected secretary for the fourth time and Mr. Reitinger re-elected. Six cor respondents sending daily telegraphic reports were elected to active mem bership and arrangements made for the winter series of entertainments. The Governor's Address [From the Philadelphia Ledger.] The Governor's inaugural message begins with an invocation and closes with a supplication, and between those prayers he outlines a sane, lofty and laudable program of necessary legis lation. It is a demand for the pass age of such measures as Pennsylvania needs, wants and is entitlrd to have. If the Legislature enacts them the Com monwealth will take its place among the foremost States of the Union; if it balks, compromises or evades them Pennsylvania must remain the para dise of political parasites. No words of praise can be too high for the spirit, the form and the substance of. the Governor's message. [From the Philadelphia Inquirer.] It Is an ambitious program, but It is a commonsense program. It cannot be put in force in a single dav, to be sure, but it can be carried out lust as rapidly as funds can be provided. It is evidaat that the Governor intends that back of road construction shall be honesty, efficiency and publicity. fFrom the Philadelphia Record ] Governor Brumbaugh's inaugral ad dress is a brief and forceful renewal of the pledges he made as a candidate during the campaign. It will strike the popular chord because it is un affected and businesslike, and has the ring of sincerity. Fine words butter no parsnips. It is the intent behind them that counts. There is apparent in the Governor's address the purpose to go as far as executive influence may in securing the redemption of the prom ises on the strength of which State administration was continued In Re publican hands.

HOW SILVER JS ARRANGED AT A BIG DINNER In the Home Problem Department of the February Woman's Home Com panion, a subscriber asks for a de scription of the proper way to place soup spoon, fruit spoons, knives, forks* and so on, at a big dinner. The edi tor of the department answers the question as follows: "Tho accepted way of arranging silver at each cover is to place tho forks at the left of the plate in tho order In which they are to be used and the knives and spoons at the right in the same ord.er. This does not in clude the silver for dessert, which is brought, in with the dessert. Bread and butter spreaders are frequently laid on the bread and butter plates. For a dinner of soup, meat, Balad, des sert and coffee, the silver is arranged thus: at the left of the plate tho fork for meat on theoutside and the salad fork next, at the right of the plate, tho meat knife next to the plate and- th-> soup spoon next to it on tho outside, r.ouillon spoons are used for soup. I have never heard of using them for canned fruit."
