SHAME TPON HTM
Tk T O matter how one may feel on
the question of woman's suf
frage, he cannot excuse the style
of speech that marked the de
bate In Congress the other day when
Representative Stanley Bowdle's re
marks reached a level that barred
parts of It from publication in the
Congressional Record. 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?

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.

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

and the first thing you know you are
ordering champagne.
Success only comes to the man who
goes after It with a club.

but he must bo born with Intuition.
Many a man's Idea of contentment
is having more than he can use.

Get What You Ask For
A piece of glass may feel like

But it loses its value when

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.

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 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.

THE HAIIKISRUHG SPIRIT
By \Vl>t Dinger
You've read these poems that tell you
what
It takes to make a man,
T'- stuff he's got to have within
To beat the heavy ban;
That fat© would put upon his chest
And crus i him 'neath Its heel—
I'll tell you, bo. the dose Is hard
To take without a squeal.
But right hero In this town wo have
Some men made of this stuff.
Tho' Are has 'most wiped them out,
Their courage It can't bluff.
They're on their feet and hard at work,
They're coming back again—
You'll And no better type of nerve
From Texas up to Maine.
It's just the kind of stuff you'll find
That men of our town
Have shown at other times when fate
Has worked to put 'em down.
The folks in this 'burg do not seem
To know the word defeat—
Though on their backs, to-morrow's
sun
Will find them on their feet.

was more than middle-aged and con

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."
