THE RIGHT KIND OF NAMES
COMMISSIONER WILLIAM H.
LYNCH is entitled to com
mendation for his move to name
some of the streets whose desig
nations require changes after the
counties of the Commonwealth.
Philadelphia long ago adopted the
plan of naming streets after the coun
ties and the men who have been gov
ernor. and there is nothing that can
be more fitting than such a plan for
the capital of the State.
Years ago the Telegraph called at
tention to some of the misfit names
clamped on city highways. Duck,
Cream, Bluebird and the like were
too much like a section of old Liver
pool or suggestive of the ancient part
■of Boston to fit Harrisburg in this
'-day and generation. As a rule the
streets of a city are named for the
!men who had something to do with
ithe development of a community, or
else they follow the plan of some
large city. The Philadelphia influ
ence on early Harrisburg fs shown by
-adoption of the names Market, Chest
nut, Walnut, and the like. The city
has outgrown its haphazard nomen
clature and the adoption of a system
Ithat will be distinctive of Harrisburg
•as the State Capital should be wel
(comed.
Erie, Cambria, McKean, and the
kllke, are certainly more appropriate
for streets in Harrisburg than Prune,
Dogwood and Marigold.
THE DACIA INCIDENT
WHATEVER may be the out
come of what is destined to
go down in history as the
"Dacla Incident." we, as a
nation, ought to remember two things
—that there is argument for both
sides in tho controversy and that the
affair is of our own making. That is,
it is of our own making so far as any
thing of national import is of our
own making when it is the deliberate
act of our President in opposition to
the wishes of what would seem to be
a majority of the voters. Neverthe
less, the government is ours and we
must abide by it; so there is no use
trying to dodge responsibility. If
England seizes the Dacia it will be
because the President insisted on his
ship transfer plan being put Into
operation, despite the vigorous pro
tests of those who foresaw just such
trouble as has arisen.
But even though the ship is taken
there is no reason to become unduly
excited. Indeed, such an occasion
would be a time for calm Judgment.
This view is held also in England,
cable dispatches being to the effect
that Alfred D. Gardiner, editor of the
Daily News, in a special article to his
paper dealing with the Dacia case,
contends that America's sympathy
with the Allies has been overwhelm
ing and emphatic, but it must be
recognized that there is a large popu
lation in America hostile to the Allies,
and, therefore, the. question requires
handling with the greatest discretion.
Mr. Gardiner thinks there is much to
be said in favor of the transfer of in
terned ships to neutral powers, under
conditions which would make it Im
possible that Germany could benefit
by the operation, and as a matter of
fact Germany would lose thereby be
< avse she would be helping to feed the
Allies.
"Whatever is thq outcome of the
incident, our muin duty is to keep our
tamper and avoid a nagging and cen
sorious attitude towards the United
States," he says.
The London Daily Chronicle, in an
editorial, also deprecates the exagger
ated tone of the Spectator's rather
alarmist article on tho Dacia contro
versy. which, however, the Chronicle
finds all the more significant' as ap
pearing in a journal usually calm in
judgment, and noted for its friendli
ness towards the United States.
The Dally Chronicle adds that un
doubtedly there has been some dis
appointment in England at the atti
tude of America, but says that the
relations between London and Wash
ington are exceedingly cordial and
••we predict that they will bear with
ease even the strain of an incident
like the seizure of the Dacla."
'.'Meanwhile," the Chronicle con
cludes, "to talk even of the possibil
ity of war between England and
America Is to use language far In ex
cess of the needs of the situation."
iv»ulte evidently there is as much dif
ference of opinion In England as there
is In this country concerning the
MONDAY KVENING,
merits of the ease. At all events we
must do nothing that will rempve us
from playing the part of mediator
when the time comes to make peace
in Europe. In this Dacla Incident we
must not only make haste slowly, but
dispassionately and with due thought
for the world-wide Interests Involved.
Whether she wants to or not. Great
Britain must meet us half-way under
such a course of procedure.
VETO IT
PRESIDENT WILSON should lose
no time In vetoing the immi
gration bill now before him. It
is in opposition to all our former
policies, if not the very fundamentals
of our national government, founded
as it was on the basis that all men are
created equal and that the United
States should be forever a haven for
the oppressed and those seeking the
betterment of their individual con
ditions.
Perhaps the most obnoxious feature
of the bill is that imposing the literacy
test requiring all persons of adult age
coming into the country for the pur
pose of taking up residence here to
be able to read and write. This clause
would have the efTect of keeping out of
the United States many worthy people
and on the other hand would open our
doors to practically any scoundrel who
wanted to come in, provided he was
reasonably well educated.
But there are other reasons why
the bill should fall. Immigration has
never been anything except a benefit
to this country, much as some persons
have argued otherwise. Those who
come In are for the most part unskilled
laborers. They have done and are do
ing work that the native American
will not do because he has fitted him- |
self for more remunerative occupa
tions. These newcomers do the rough
work, the ditch digging, the rail lay
ing and the carrying. There will be
plenty of this to be done In the next
few years. We have room for all
who care to come.
On the other hand, there Is less
likelihood of a flood of immigration
now than ever before. So long as the
war continues It will be Impossible for
aliens to come in any large number
and after peace has been declared
there will be so much work at good
wages abroad that the man who other
wise might think of immigrating will
be content to stay at home.
LET CARLISLE ALONE
WE do not imagine Congressman
Stephens will get very far
with his bill to transform the
Carlisle Indian School into a
military institution for the education
of Indian boys as United States sol
diers and the elimination of the co
educational features of the school.
The bill provides that the Secre
taries of War and Interior and an
army officer should constitute the com
mission to Establish military training
at Carlisle. An army man is to be
superintendent, according to the bill,
and the course now established at West
Point would be followed as far as pos
sible. An appropriation of $400,000
to equip the school for the purpose
outlined Is provided for In the meas
ure.
Representative Stephens admits that
the bill Is his own Idea and that he
has not consulted with Cabinet offi
cials mf»oiit. the matter.
To do what Mr. Stephens proposes
would be wrong on several counts. In
the first place a West Point course at
Carlisle would force scores of Indian
boys to take up Military training or go
without tho higher education they de
sire. Secondly, it is a question if, as
a general proposition, Indian officers
for white troops would be desirable.
Third, what right have we to com
pel our Indian wards to do our fight
ing for us? If we must have war let
us not follow Europe's example of
forcing dependents to the firing line,
but let us shoulder the guns ourselves.
And finally, to enact the Stephens bill
would l>c to pronounce death sentence
upon the form of industrial education
that has turned so many ignorant
young savages into' useful men and
women at tho Carlisle school and
would deprive hundreds of boys and
girls of the opportunity for practical
education that by right ought to be
theirs.
If there is a "pickling" committee
in Congress it is to be hoped that It
will give the Stephens measure an
jaleopathlc dose of whatever brand of
"dope" it uses to put undesirable bills
permanently to sleep.
——————
HE'S AT IT AGAIN
TOO great contrast and conflict
between our political liberty and
industrial absolutism causes the
Industrial unrest, 'according to
i Louis D. Brandeis, lawyer and pub
| licist, testifying in New York at tho
investigation into labor's discontent by
the Federal Commission on Industrial
Relations.
His remedy is Industrial democracy
—giving the worker a vote in the man
agement of afTairs in his industry, to
gether with close co-operation. All
previously suggested remedies, such as
profit-sharing, scientific management,
j legislation, are but incidents to the
democratization of industry, he said.
This is a beautiful idea, theoreti
cally speaking. Practically, at least
under present conditions, it is impos
sible. The industry that adopts it is
headed toward the sheriff's office. Pos
sibly there are exceptions, but they
are not apparent.
.As an illustration, under Mr. Bran
deis' plan, the newly-arrived foreign
laborer at Steelton. ignorant of indus
trial problems and even unable to
sfceak a word of English, would be
given the same vote In the conduct of
the company's business as the presi
dent of the concern, who had won
his way to the top by years of careful
study, attention to detail and hard
work. Docs it take a strong imagina
tion to picture what would happen at
Steelton under such conditions? So
far from being beneficial, the Bran
dels scheme would ruin the company
financially and throw the very men it
was intended to benefit out of em
ployment.
Possibly, Mr. Brandeis may reply
that he would not carry his industrial
democracy to the length of Including
the ignorant worklngman, but If he
stops short of thut he fails of demo
cracy and the second condition be
comes even worse than the first.
When Mr. Brandeis, Secretary Bryan
or President Wilson begins to talk we
can imagine a Utopian millenium just
around the corner, but when they
pause and we slip away to take a
peek, 10, the corner is as bare as
Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
i EVENING^CHAT 1
The State Board of Agriculture,
which will begin its thirty-eighth an
nual meeting here to-morrow and re
main in the city for three days, has had
interesting history and is at a period
when it can exert much inlluence upon
the development of agriculture in
Pennsylvania and aid the State s tirst
farmer governor in years to carry out
plans for the raising of a greater food
supply at home. The board was esta
lished in the seventies as a means of
getting together men interested in the
various lines of husbandry, there hav
ing been an effort to boost agriculture i
because of the observers of things in
that day taw the commencement of
the industrial empire in the Common
wealth and the coming influx of for
eigners who would require food but
would not be workers in the fields. Its
meetings for a time were more or less
cut and dried and it has only been:
within the last half dozen that it I
showed much Interest in practical soil
conservation and the road problem.
The program outlined this time is fill
ed with live subjects such as soils, foot
and mouth disease, bovine tuberculosis
and other subjects which are of prlmo
importance and the board can take a
higher place than for years by tackling
them. The board is made up of live
classes of members, one being repre
sentatives of county societies: another
representative of several State asso
ciations allied with farming; three
men appointed by the Governor; ex
offlcio members, the Governor, secre
tary of internal affairs, superintendent
of public instruction, secretary of agri
culture, auditor general and head of
State College.
Two of the men prominent in secre
atrial capacities on Capitol Hill are na
tives of Indiana, although they have
lived In this State for a long time.
James S. Hiatt, secretary to Governor
Brumbaugh, was born in that State
and H. Lindley Hosford, secretary to
Commissioner of Health Dixon, was
born in Terre Haute.
W. S. Nason, of Erie, did not seek
the position of Journal clerk of the
Senate this session, and his friends are
commenting upon the fact that one of
the most efficient men in the Legisla
tive offices has retired. As a rule few
leave when they could have office in
succession to themselves and deaths
are' few. Mr. Nason had held the place
for ten years and was a master of
legislative routine and detail and it
was a matter of regret that he leaves.
It is said that he will devote his time
to matters in his homo county and
people here predict that he will bo
heard from.
The Legislature will be getting down
to hard routine work to-night, as all
of the events which ordinarily charac
terize the opening of a session have
been gone through with. Bills will
now occupy attention for some time
just as in city council the start of a
year is marked by a rush of legisla
tion. In another week the committees
will be working and committees will
commence to hold hearings and con
sider bills.
It is probable that among the early
steps taken in the way of street im
provement in Harrisburg this spring
will be for the betterment of North
Cameron street and D«rry Btreet be
yond the paved sections. The con
dition of Derry street, which has been
patched up a couple of times, is grow
ing worse as the winter goes on and
by spring the city will have to spend
considerable money to put It into any
kind of shape, so that it might as well
expend enough to fix It up properly.
No section of a city highway is more
traveled than Derry street beyond
Twenty-third, as it is the entrance to
Harrisburg from the State highway to
Lebanon and Reading. The highway
is bad enough in Pax tang and some
other places, but that is no reason for
the city street being in poor condition,
in the opinion of many automobile
owners. North Cameron street is also
bearing an increasing amount of travel
and It bids fair to grow.
Adjutant General Thonias J. Stew
art who is picked by many to be cer
tain of reappointment has filled that
office longer, and more conspicuously,
than any other adjutant general in tho
history of the State. He was first
named to the post by Governor Daniel
11. Hastings when he took office on
January 15, 1895 and he has been the
chief jnilltary officer of the Common
wealth by appointment of five gover
nors. The general is president of the
National* Guard Association of the
country and served on tho militia
board. In Washington tlie.v sav he is
the only State militia officer who can
"sass" regular army officers and be
hearkened unto.
A good story is being told about a
county man who is active in politics
and church matters. It had been no
ticed for some time that he was go
ing about for his walks on Sunday
with dark glasses instead of his usual
"specs." Then he began to go to
church wearing them. The mysterv
Is said to have been solved for he has
been discovered sleeping in church an 1
asked the man who accused him of
it how he could see his eyes.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CONSTITUTION IS
EXPENSIVE THING
Estimate That a Change Would
Take Almost a Million Dollars
to Bring About
NOT MANY CONVENTIONS
How the People of the Common
wealth Voted on Question in
the Years Gone By
A convention to revise the Constitu
tion of Pennsylvania would cost at least
$1,000,000. This is the estimate made
by State officials, who base their fig
ures on the cost of formulating the
present Constitution in 1873.
Interest in the amount reifuired to
put into operation a Constitutional
convention has been aroused by tha
announcement that Representative
Charles J. Roney, of Philadelphia,
contemplates introducing: measures
providing for the holding of a conven
tion. Similar bills were Introduced
in the 1913 session by Representative
John R. K. Scott, of Philadelphia.
They passed the House of Represen
tatives but were defeated in the Sen
ate.
The Constitutional convention of
1873 cost the State exactly $502,195,
but since 1873 the cost of living has
gone up considerably together with
the cost of legislating for the people,
and with the population of the State
nearly twice as large as at the time
of the last convention, It is estimated
that with a proportionately larger con
vention, the cost would reach at least
$1,000,000 and probably more.
In 1873 the Legislature appropriated
$500,000 for a convention, and claims
and other amounts aggregating $2,195
were subsequently paid.
If the proposed Roney bills are in
troduced it will be at least two years
before the present Constitution can
be supplanted by another. As an in
stance of the time required to put
Into effect a new Constitution it Is re
called that the first definite move to
ward the convention of 1873 came in
1871 when the Legislature passed an
act providing for the submission of the
question to the people. The new con
stitution did not go into effect until
1874.
At an election held on October 10.
1871 the people of the State decided
in favor of a Constitutional conven
tion by a vote of 316,097 to 69,715.
The act whlt;h regulated the holding of
the convention was approved in April,
18?2, when the number of delegates
was fixed at 133. These delegates
were elected on October 8, 1872, and
the convention met at Harrisburg on
November 12, 1872. Adjournment
was taken on November 27 to meet In
Philadelphia on January 7, 1873. The
convention concluded Its work of
draftjng a new constitution on Novem
ber 3, 1873. This draft was submitted
to the people at an election held on
December 16, 1873, and was adopted
by a vote of 253,744 to 108,594. The
Constitution thus approved by the peo
ple \vas put into effect on January 1,
1874.
An earlier Constitutional convention
took place in 1837-8. The delegates
were elected on November 8, 1836, and
as in the later convention, numbered
133. The delegates met at Harris
burg on May 2, 1837, and ad
journed to meet in Philadel
phia on November 23. The amended
Constitution was adopted and signed
on February 22. 1838, and was ap
proved by th« people at the polls on
October 9, 1838.
The approval of the new Constitu
tion, however, was jiot overwhwelming
as the vote was 113,971 for and 112,-
759 against its adoption.
In 1790 was held the firs', conven
tion following the adoption of the
Colonial Constitution in 1776. This
convention assembled on November
24, 1789, and its work was completed
on September 2, 1790. The convention
at the time was made up of only 69
delegates.
Those in favor of a Constitutional
convention at tills time contend that
the present Constitution contains
conflicting provisions, obsolete sec
tions, and insufficient amendments,
and that it is not in keeping with the
broadest spirit of the time, nor the
extensive development of the State's
affairs.
It if argued that so far as the Con
stitution applies to Philadelphia, a
careful revision is needed to fix the
status of the Register of Wills, in re
lation to the Commonwealth, and the
County Commissioners, Coroner,
Clerks of the Court and Magistrates.
The judicial system of Philadelphia, it
is also declared, needs to be put on a
modern basis to facilitate the admin
istration of justice.
State Senator Kdwin S. Vare, of
Philadelphia, has announced his in
tention of introducing at the present
session a Constitutional amendent
providing for the consolidation of the
Common Picas Courts in Philadel
phia county
LETTERS TO TH E- E PffOß
Tlrs FOR EVAM.KI.IST
To the Editor of the Telefroph:
Dear Sir: By your permission I would I
like to speak a few words through our*
daily paper, the Telegraph, regarding
the proceedings instituted at Highspire
! by the evangelist, the Rev. C. K. Hillis.
who proposes to burn and destroy all
the works of Pastor Russell that the
people of that vicinity will submit to
him.
Perhaps the reverend gentleman has
forgotten, or docs not know, that the
I Scriptures forbid a servant of the l-ord
to Judge or execute vengeance on others
who make the same claim.
"Who art tnou that judgest another
man's servant?' To his own Sfastcr he
standeth or falleth. Vea, he shall ho
holden up; for <!od is able to make him
stand."—liomans, 14:4.
We have the Lord's Word for it that
"if any man have not tile spirit (mind,
will,) of Christ, he is none of His," and
the spirit of Christ is not the spirit of
persecution.—Romans. B:'J.
"Woe unto you, lawyers (doctors of
the law)! for ye have taken away the
key of knowledge: ye entered not In
yourselves, and them that were enter
ing in ye hindered."—Luke, 11:52.
"What shell we say then to these
things? If God be for us. who can be
against us? Wno shall lay anything
to the charge of God's elect? It is God i
that justificth.' Who is he that con
demnctli? He that spared not his own
Soil, but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall Me not with him also freely
give us nil things? It Is Christ that
died, yea rather, that is rist-n again,
who is oven at the right hand of God.
who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ? Shall tribulation, or dis
tress. or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it Is
written, For thy sake we arc killed all
the day long: we are accounted its sheep
for the slaughter. Nay. in all these
things we are more than conquerors,
through Him that loved us. For I am
persuaded that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which Is in
Christ Jesus our Lord."—Romans, 8:31-
39.
"And now I say unto you. Refrain
from these men, and let them alone;
for If this consul or this work be of
men, It will come to nought: but If It
be of God. ye cannot overthrow It; lest
||yy here lot alone bfcuuHe |irli*es lit loner, but bfcnuie qualities lire better.™*'*-*"*—"* •< > •■•» >

THE BtRTHHIGHT
When every star was a woman.
My heart, with the thrill of her birth.
Virgin, but ardent and human,
Leaped up from the vacant earth.
When her song was a silver fountain
In the wild world's first retreat.
My soul was the brook of the mountain,
Racing to kiss her feet.
O what If the psalmists and Rages
Sing love that Is brief as the May?—
My love Is as old as the ages.
And young as the dawn of to-day!

The public service companies,
Throughout the land these days.
Instructions «:ve on courtesy
To ail their employes.
And of the stories I have read
Of how it lias worked out.
The best Is that I heard last week
And now Ts going about.
Quite recently a lady sat
In a cross-river car.
Across the aisle there sat a chap
Whose actions gave a jar
To the young lady's peace of mind
(1 don't blame her a bit).
Because about him on the floor
Tobacco juice he'd spit.
The lady called conductor man,
"Do you allow." asked she,
"Folks in these cars to spit upon
The Moors?" "O. no," said he,
Then added with the courtesy
That company rules require.
"I'll glady put yo#r window up
If you should so desire."
I.OVK AMONG THE CLOVER
"If you dare," she said,
And O. her breath was clover-sweet!
Clover nodded over her,
Her lips were clover-red.
Blackbirds fluted down the wind.
.The bobolinks were mad with joy.
The wind was playing in her hair.
And "If you dare," she said.
Clover billowed down the wind
Far across the happy lields,
Clover on the breezy hills
Leaned along the skies;
Anil all the dancing, nodding flowers
And little elbuds with silver sails
And all the heaven's dreamy blue
Were mirrored in her eyes.
Her laughing lips were clover-red
When long ago I kissed her there
And made, for one swift moment, all
My heaven and earth complete.
I've loved among the roses since
And love among the lilies now.
But love among the clover !
Her breath was clover-sweet.
0 wise, wise-hearted boy and girl
Who played among the clover bloom!
1 think I was far wiser then
Then now 1 dare to be.
For I have lost my Uden now,
I cannot find my Eden now.
And even should I And It now,
I've thrown away the key.
