JAN. 21 >- " • A QUESTION OF CTjOTH GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH let it be known yesterday that in gpite of the popular attention attracted to his pronounce ments in favor of a county local op tion law, a recasting of the highway policy of the Commonwealth, tho en actment of workmen's compensation and other subjects discussed in his ad dress, that he is not for an instant un aware of the fact that the revenues of Pennsylvania will bs less than they were in tho last legislative appropri ation period. He served notice that lie did not propose to hear the whole burden of apportioning the finances when ho said that if the dsire was for a garment that required more cloth Jhan is in sight, more material must ■be secured. It Is the intention of the Governor to make an inquiry into the prospec tive Income and to go carefully over the estimates submitted to the Gov ernor who has just retired by the fiscal officers of the Commonwealth and then to let the legislators know just what is in sight. It is.apparent that >lO does not intend to stand for thej Ireatment John K. Tenor and Edwin S. Stuart received at the hands of legislatures which* did not pay much attention to tlio cash in sight. Tho apportionment of the revenues of the State where they will do the greatest good to the greatest number ds an appalling task, but it is evident that Dr. Brumbaugh intends to ap proach it with the same care that he has taken in considering his other policies. This Is an administration during which the fundamentals will he considered first. I-.VXDIS AND BASEBAIX TRUIA" baseball as a national In stitution ranks among the na tion's greatest. Not only do we have the Governor of a great State like Pennsylvania retiring from its executive chair to become the pres ident of a "big league" at a princely salary, but the same court judge that earned his reputation by fining the biggest trust in the world $29,000,000 is now to add a new feather to his cap by trying the suit brought by the Federal League against organized baseball. Thus, does the national game prove its rank among the big things of the country. Judge Keneshaw Mountain Landis is not a foreigner to the sport ing fraternity. It was he who arraigned Jack Johnson on the white slave indictment in Chicago, and he has had more to do with antitrust trials than any other federal judge. He has had a picturesque career. He .lumped into the limelight when he lined Standard Oil for rebating. In the history of jurisprudence this was Ihe largest line ever imposed by a court. Like most any other American lad. Judge Landis has played baseball, but not much of it. He was born in Butler county, Ohio, and his father thought he was out out for a farmer. He was t'ond of the mountains—that shows how he got his middle name. He abandoned the farm when he was about eighteen and carried a route for ii small weekly newspaper in Logans 7)ort, Ind. Then he began to study. Law did not tirst attract him. He got into it in a round-about way. He took a job as an official court stenographer in an Indiana circuit court; then his taste for Blackstone, Kent and Marshall de-1 veloped. Secretary of State Gresbam, under President Garfield, took a liking to young I .and is and made him his secretary in When Sec retary Gresham died Landis went back to Chicago, where he practiced law un til President Roosevelt appointed him lo tho place on the bench which he now occupies. Sine ) then he has won renown as a "trust buster." Having done what he did to Jack Johnson and Standard Oil, it is interesting to speculate on his de cision In the baseball trust case. THE HEAJ7TH REPORT FOLLOWING right on the heels of Governor Brumbaugh's recom mendation that housing condi tions in Pennsylvania be investi gated and improved, comes Dr. Ttau nlfk, Harrlftburg'n health officer, with iilllciu! condemnation of housing in certain districts of this oily. Evident ly the Governor observed on a State wide scale during' his campaigning what l>r. Raunlck has noted in the more limited radius of his home town. * Both do well in calling attention oc. TFTTTR3D AT EVENTNX3, the people and the authorities to the existing evils, which should be cor rected as promptly as possible. The problem is big, but it is as important as it is big and it must bo met. The whole report of the health board la worthy of study by council men and the people at large. It shows close attention to duty and keen knowledge of the needs of the city along the linos of health and sanita tion. Sufficient copies of the more important sections at least should be, printed to mak» general circulation possible. WHERE TO GO FOR ADVICE THE new Governor of Colorado is something of a philosopher. In telling the reporters how he ar rived at his present proud sta tion in life he laid much stress on the aid his wife had been to him and ob served that "failures come most fre quently to men who do not tell their business to their wives." There is a lot to the thought that does not appear on the surface. For instance, the average man who wil fully declines to take his wife into j his confidence either does not have a helpful wife or he has something unworthy to hide from her. In these days It is only the man whose charac ter and activities will stand the searching raya of publicity that gets far either in private business or pub lic life./ The longer he practices his deceptions successfully the longer and the harder his fall when he is found out. So it is tho man who tells his wife what he is about that is most likely to succeed, no matter what his undertaking, for he will not lay bare his life to her unless It Is clean and his intentions worthy. A wife's advice has this to recom mend it—that it is unselfish, kindly and sincere. Sometimes it is given without full understanding, but often also It is that of a mind keener than the husband's own. Some bigger men than the Governor of Colorado have owed their successes to their wives and more men might profit by follow ing the example. NOT POSSIBLE HERE SUCH a fracas as occurred at Roosevelt, X. J., a day or two ago when sheriffs fired upon a crowd of striking employes of a chemi cal company, killing sixteen and badly wounding six, scarcely would have been possible in Pennsylvania. By special permission of the au thorities the strikers had sent a com mittee through a train supposed to have aboard a number of men coming to take their places. None such were f-und and the strikers cheered. The deputies, a lot of reckless personages gathered up at random, mistook the racket for a. riot and cut loose volley after volley without investigation. In Pennsylvania the eyes of a de tail of steady-nerved, impartial State police would have been on both de puties and strikers and the shooting would have been prevented. The State police know neither striker nor strike-breaker, employer nor employe. [Their duty is to preserve order, and they generally manage to do it. Had New Jersey a State constabulary some sixteen innocent men would not have been shot by a pack of ruffians posing as officers. OSCAR IS RIGHT < <1 F lam ® n> udgG of P u blic opin- I ion the last thing the people * want is an extra session of Con gress," said Democratic House leader Underwood, yesterday. Which we submit Is a self-evident proposition, the observance of vhlch, however, we will admit scarcely was to have been expected from the lips of one who has been doing nothing much since March 4, 1913, but keep ing Congress in session. That others in Congress have become aware at that the nation's one desire with respect to its lawmakers is to have them go home and give the people a rest, was shown by the fact that both sides of the House loudly applauded Mr. Underwood's remarks. Yet the majority leader threatened, unless there is better attendance at this session, there will be an extra session. That being the case, for goodness sake, men, take your cots along to the House chamber with you if you must, have your ineals served on your desks and change collars during speech-making by the opposing side, but don't miss a roll-call. Don't take a single chance. The situation is the gravest you have faced since '6l. Cherk up, go to it and then go home. Oscar is right, this time, right as the moral code. G EORGE FROTin XG HAM THE death of George Frothing, liam at Burlington, Vt., Tues day night will recall to men and women of middle ago and some of less mature years, pleasant I memories of the time when Frotliing ham was one of the prominent figures of the American stage and a member of the famous old Bostonians. Froth- I ingham created the role of "Friar I Tuck" in the comic opera of "Robin Hood" and during his lifetime sang and played the role of the jolly "Friar" more than 6,000 times, it is said. Few, if any, of this noted com pany of singers and actors, who did so much for the American operatic stage, remain alive. They saw comic opera in the United States at its best. Those who remember with affection and tender regard their performances cherish memories the like of which theatergoers of the present day may well envy. There Is nothing now be ing produced that approaches, for in stance, Frothlnghain and his. "Friar," "RoWn Hood" as a whole, nor any of the goodly company of Operas of which it was one. It Is a happy thought that Frothing ham had the pleasuro of appearing for the last time in the part he loved so well only the night before he died, but it is to be regretted that he could not have lived to perpetuate his art to moving pioturee, as he had planned fo do wtNj tb« coming of Spring. j i EVENING CHAT I No two people appear to have the •ame idea about the number of vis itors to the oity on Inauguration day, but all seem to agree that it waß one of the greatest crowds gathered for a similar ceremony In years. Estimates run anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 people and you can take your choice, because the railroads, trolley cars, au tomobiles and carriages that brought thrones will never get together on the figures. One thing Is certain and that is that the inaugural ceremony drew about the stand at Third and State streets a greater mass of people than have assembled since the day Theo dore Roosevelt dedicated tho Capitol, and some think that the folks who swarmed to the vicinity when the new Governor was making his address was larger than on the dedicatory day in 1900. It was a notable fact that Dr. Brumbaugh attracted hundreds from houses and sidewalks in the neighbor hood when he began to speak and thero were swarms of people who came in late in the morning who made a bee-line for the place of the cere monies and arrived in time to hear the lively parts of the speech. And it might be remarked in passing that the new Governor certainly had the crowd with him. All along the line of the parade there were thousands of people, many of them townsfolk, of course, but with many, many visitors, "he idea of the inaugural committee In placing the stand where It was erected was splendid and was appre ciated by thousands who got within sight of the events and within hearing distance without having to cluster about tho Capitol or stand on the ter races and lawns of the Capitol Park. Everyone remembers the discomforts of the last five inaugurations and it is to be hoped that Third and State will be selected for the next time and that by 1919 there will be a new and a handsomer formal entrance to the State s park at that point. General Edward DeV. Moirell, the grand marshal of the parade, is not unknown to many Harrisburgers, bnt he has many more admirers now than before the well-handled parade. The general carried out his part in a man ner befitting the occasion not only in the parade but in taking a residence for his headquarters and bringing of his personal establishment to the city, lie gave dignity to the post of honor which he held and Governor Brum baugh seems to have made a popular choice. The Telegraph had the honor of publishing the first picture of Gov ernor Martin G. Brumbaugh. The photograph from which was made tht three-column etching that appeared in the last editions of the Telegraph of Tuesday was made a second after Chief Justice J. Hay Brown had read the oath of office, to which the Governor affirmed. The exposure for tho picture was made by a Telegraph staff pho tographer, Robert P. Gorman, mounted on a tall ladder in front of the in augural stand, ajid the plate was rushed to the darkroom and thence, after a wet print had been made, to the engraving department of the news paper. By 2.30 the etching was fin ished and a few minutes later the page was on the press and papers by the thousands were being sold to inaugu ration visitors who were eager to get copies of the picture to take home as souvenirs. So excellent was the repro duction that figures in the background could be easily distinguished and recognized. 1 lie inauguration of Governor Brum »aU live in moving pictures and it will not be long before the new Governor will be able to witness the spectacle the standpoint of the man in the audience, it he so desires. At least two sets of films were exposed, but until they have been developed nobody will know what success the photographer had. Scenes along the route of parade wero snapped, as well as the reviewing stands, sections of the crowds and the taking of the oatli. It is said that one set will be sent to the Pan-American Exposition in Sun f J/ 1 ." 0 ' B*'o 8 *' 0 to be made a part of the ex hi bit of the State of Pennnslvanla, along with the films of the flat? trans fer ceremonies last summer, which are already in the. hands of the ex position commission. Ba ' d . tlle man ° n the street < ar this morning, "Spring is not so very far away. 1 know because I found in my mail this morning these three seed catalogs," and he dis played them for the pleasure of his fellow-suburbanites, who grew inter ested at once and asked to "look 'em over. From now until well into the summer poultry fanciers and garden enthusiasts will have it out with one another morning and evening on the suburban cars. "It's like a. continuous lecture on agricultural subjects," said one observer this morning. "I wouldn't miss that daily trip for anything. I get more hints on chickens and garden truck from my fellow-passengers than out of the magazines. And," he con. eluded, I also hear more lies about egg and vegetable crops than anv where else. Congressman Milton AV. Shreve of Erie, one of the active men in the Legislatures ot 1909 and 1911. was here to-day on his way from Wash ingion. He met a number of friends among the lawmakers. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —J. V.

Intends to Have Them Ready For I Incorporation Into Bills Within the Next Month NO APOLOGIES TO MAKE Dr. Brumbaugh Says That He Is Not Thinking of Washington Trains Nowadays Governor Martin O. Brumbaugh is going to follow his own inaugural pre cepts in regard to expediting legisla tive work and no time will be lost in drafting the hills to carry his ideas in to effect, local option included. The Governor is having studies made of the principles underlying the big pro positions which he set forth in his ad dress on Tuesday and they will be embodied in bills which will be in the hands of legislative committees within a month. The drafts of some of the bills are said to have been made and the Governor will be ready next week. In all probability, to talk over matters with the Joint committee to carry out platform bills. —Speaking to newspapermen for the first time since his inauguration yesterday afternoon the new Governor said that he was giving more atten tion to his legislative plans than to appointments and criticisms or praises of what he had done in that line and that he had not taken up the matter of more appointments or those made by his predecessors. He said that he was aware of constitutional rights of the Senate and the Governor and that he had not read the address of Lieu tenant-Governor Frank 11. McClain. The suggestion that he might find cus |toms in regard to addresses at Wash ington whicli would be different from Harrisburg he met by saying: "Just now I am not thinking of taking any train out of Pennsylvania." —The new Governor was much In terested in the revenues to be appro priated and said that he would make a study of the prospective income for the next two years and would make an effort to verify statements made about the difference that may exist between those of the next two years and the preceding biennial period. "We must cut the garment according to the cloth or else get new cloth" was his way of putting it. On the uues tlon of a constitutional convention the Governor made this statement: "You can change the constitution by a con vention or by amendment." —lt Is very apparent that Dr. Brumbaugh is going to start out to get his legislation framed early anil to have it well discussed and then gone over by Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown. Then he will follow out his ideas about the executive and the legislative branches of the gov ernment. —People about the Legislature who saw something in the make-up of the House committee on law and order discussing the predalictions of the members of the Tlouse rules commit tee which was announced to-day. This committee is composed of Speaker Ambler, cx-officio; E. E. Jones, Sus quehanna; Viekerman, Allegheny; Whltaker, Chester; W. 11. Wilson, Philadelphia, and Shaffer, Columbia. The latter is a Democrat. This com mittee is all powerful as it makes the rules for the House and it is said that iit stands live to one in favor of the "drys." This means the local option bill will not be hampered while in the House. The law and order commit tee is now said to be fourteen to eleven in favor of the "drys," which means that it will also have plain sailing in the committees. The Senate commit tee is ten to one for the "wets." —The Antisaloon League ueople, who have turned in behind Governor P.rumbaugli, are claiming greater strength than in the last House and so are the antilocal optionists. Local option people say that if they can get thirty-four votes they can pass the bill and the strong declaration of the Governor in favor of local option is counted upon to bring some of the nec essary number into the fold. The bill is scheduled to be presented in a fort night and no time will be lost by the committee in getting it before the House. The chances are that it will be acted upon earlier than has been the case in the last three sessions. GOVERKOH BHI MBiUbH'S ADDRESS TFrom the Phila. North American. 1 We consider it the best inaugural delivered by a Pennsylvania Governor in our time. And our judgment is that so far as it went —and it went a long way. considering conditions in the State—it was all that any one could reasonably expect. Even standing alone, as the declara tion of a sincere man aware of his re sponsibilities, it would command ad miration. But when read in the light of iiis first important appointments, it takes on a special significance. Its most obvious feature Is the em ployment of straightforward, Anglo- Saxon terms, as to the meaning' of which there can be 110 doubt, and the deflniteness with which the Executive declares himself upon the istfuqs most prominently before the puplic. He shows a proper appreciation not only of the general duty of a public officer, but of the obligation resting upon him and his party, as when he insisted that "we give the people the laws they have demanded and we have promised." SONG I love were but a little thing— Strangfe lovo, which, more than all, is great— One might not such devotion bring, Early to serve and late. If love were but a passing breath— AVI Id love—which, as God knows, is sweet— One might not make of life and death A pillow for love's feet. —Florence Earl Coates.
