In his inaugural address Governor Brumbaugh said that the State has been "over-lawed. that we have gone too far upon the theory that legisla tion Is a cure for our social, economic and political ills." The Lieutenant- Governor, in turn, emphasized this point when he said that the Legisla ture really has not many problems to •work out this session and that its duty lies not in volume, but in the quality «f work to be performed. "We have ■not much to do." said he. "but what do we should do well." Every thinking man will agree with ■the two executives in these conclu sions. and the Legislature will do well to set them up as guide posts for the session. We have had a surfeit of unnecessary, theoretic and half-baked laws and the obligation of the Legisla ture is to avoid the temptation of en acting statutes to govern every alleged reform that experimentalists propose. As has been indicated in the inaugural day addresses, the Republican party •will be held responsible for the actual results of the present session. The people desire nothing but common »=ense procedure. The day of hysteria in legislation is fast passing. The vot ers no longer expect the Legislature to substitute sensationalism for the con servatism and care that have marked the enactment of every good and broad piece of legislation that has ever been written upon the statute books of the State. They now look to the law-makers, as Governor Brumbaugh and Lieutenant-Governor McClain sug gest, to confine their attention to mat ters of vital import and to refuse to he party to any attempt that may be made fo turn the Legislature into a legal experiment station. We in Harrisburg delight to enter tain the members of the House and Senate who are our guests during every legislative session, but for the good of the people and the welfare of the Republican party, it is to be hoped that their stay at the Capitol in the present year will be brief and as busi nesslike as it is brief. PINCHOT THE VISIONARY GIFFORD PINCHOT. trying to rally to his colors the vanished hosts of the Washington party in Pennsylvania, is at once a ridiculous and a pathetic figure. Even Colonel Roosevelt and Medill McCor mick have submitted to the in evitable. To them the Progressive cause in Pennsylvania is not only hopeless, but lost beyond redemption. For them the stronghold is demolished and the white flag floats over the ruins. But to Pinchot the theorist, to Pinchot the dreamer, the uncon quered rank and file of a great partv only for a moment halted is ready to respond to his clarion call to the charge, the flush of leadership is on his brow and victory is just ahead. The one-time great conservationist has become the Don Quixote of the Pennsylvania political windmills. The spectacle is pathetic. PUBLIC GARDEN'S THE Washington (Pa.) Daily News notes that through the efforts of Washington's Public Gardens Association a cam paign has been launched having for Its purpose the establishment of a public garden movement in that town. There are two objects of this associa tion—first, to convert unsightly va cant lots into garden spots; second, to lend material assistance to those who would help themselves. Here Is an idea that might be work ed out in Harrisburg during the com ing Spring and summer. While it is likely that industrial conditions will Improve with the coming of the warm weather and that many men now out of employment will be put back to work, nevertheless, there will be many who will need aid. There are many vacant lots in Harrisburg that ought to be cultivated, both for the appearance of the city and for the crops that could be had from them. Even a very small lot, if properly cared for, will produce vegetables enough to supply the daily needs of a very large family. In the early days of the city everybddy had his garden. I TUESDAY EVENING, Rich and poor alike dug and hoed] and watered and took pride in thei amount of produce their gardens! yielded. In recent years there has ! been all too little of this. The high cost of living could be reduced mate rially if every piece of ground in Harrisburg now allowed to lie vacant or grown up to weeds were planted to vegetables. It would seem that the Associated Charities Is losing an opportunity for valuable welfare work of a construc tive nature in not putting this idle ! ground to work. Certainly there are those in the city who would be willing to give their time to getting such a movement under way and it is doubt ful if there is a single owner who would not sooner see the lots he Is holding as an investment planted and producing garden truck than covered with weeds and tin cans. THE PKOPLK'S VIEW* WANTED GOVERNOR BRUM BAU G H daily is showing that he wants the people of the State to realize that their ideas will be considered in drafting legislation affecting their lives and their well being. It is ohly a week since he took the oath to be the people's Governor and already he has made It plain that he wants to know what the 8.000.000 of Penns.vlvanians de sire. There is no reservation about it, only a reliance on the people to send him views and thoughts that will be beneficial to the whole State; not schemes to make trouble, but com mon sense propositions that will work for the welfare of all. The response to the Governor's re quest for the people to tell him what they think about the highway prob lem has made plain that they believe in him. He has received a number of excellent suggestions, some of them from men who have given the road problem earnest and thoughtful study, and every letter voices appre ciation of the opportunity to bear a share in legislation. Now the Governor wants to know what the people think about admin istration of workmen's compensation. |He is going to get such a law, but as jthe prime reason for complaint in I compensation has been the slow pro cedure of the ordinary law, he has asked whether the people, the plain people of Pennsylvania, the workers as well as the employers, want a commission such as they have in the Empire State or wish to leave the matter of adjudication to the courts. A man who asks the people's views and is guided by them demonstrates that he has the happiness of the Commonwealth alone in mind and de serves whole-hearted support. OUR FOREIGN TRADE BALANCE DR. EDWARD PRATT, chief of the Federal Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, who was one of the speakers at a recent foreign trade extension confer ence held in this city under the auspices of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com i merce, told the Illinois Bankers' Asso ciation the other night that for the first time in history the United States is experiencing the sensation of a real > trade balance in its favor. This is all very good and we are | liappv that conditions are so favor able. but Mr. Pratt knows that present [exports are abnormal because of the demands for food stuffs abroad. Be | lore the war our favorable balances I during the years that the country en joyed a protective tariff had been turned into an actual adverse balance as the result of the operations of the Underwood tariff law. The whole thought of Mr. Pratt's address seemed to be that the Underwood tariff has not only been not harmful, but beneficial ;to the country, although he did not ! express that idea In so many words. Since 1890, with the exception of one year, IS9 3, the United States has had a favorable balance of trade every year, in the aggregate more than nine billion dollars. During ten of these years the value of our exports over imports was annually more than five hundred million dollars. Mr. Pratt juggles his figures so as to obscure these facts, but they exist ! nevertheless, and it remains to be | seen whether or not the tariff will I again react in favor of Europe if it is i ermitted to stand as at present without revision after the cessation of hostilities. TABU: SYRUP KUOM CIDER THE United States Department of Agriculture makes an impor tant announcement to the farmers of Pennsylvania—the | development of a process for turning ! apple cider into first-class table syrup. I This ought to be good news to the ! thousands of Pennsylvania orchard ; owners who permit hundreds of thou sands of bushels of apples to go to waste under their trees every Fall for lack of a market. There is a con stant demand for first-class fruit, but the farmer who is not close to a large city finds some ditficuity in disposing, at a profit, of his second grade apples. Turning these "windfalls" into table syrup ought to open up a field of profitable endeavor. Every farmer who owns a sugar maple tree taps it each Spring time for its sap and boils that sap down into maple syrup and loaf sugar. It would seem no more than reasonable then that he should do the same with his surplus apples in the Kail. The process is said to be simple. First the apples are turned into cider, which in turn is treated with a pure lime composition to neutralize the malic acids. The subsequent opera tion resembles greatly the manufac ture of maple syrup in that the liquid is boiled, filtered and evaporated. Then by another filtering process the crystals of calcium malate are re ; moved and the result is syrup of a j clear ruby or amber color which when sealed in cans will keep Indefinitely. Only seven gallons of cider are re quired to make a gallon of apple syrup and the product sells a( a higher price than ordinary table syrup. The efTorts of the department hav ing been thus successfully directed to wards the use of the apple crop that j would ordinarily go to waste, the! scientists and experimenters might now give their attention to saving some of the other farm produce that rot In the fields because they cannot bo sold at the time when they are j ready for market. I EVENING CHAT I Harrisburg is one of the greatest cities In the State for savings accounts according to one of the city's promi nent bankers and it has been culti vating the habit of thrift In an amaz ing way in the last ten years. Every one Is familiar with the big sums of money distributed at holiday time through the Christmas savings clubs, but it seems that there are hundreds of people who are conducting similar savings accounts throughout the year and who at certain times take out those savings and cither put them on time deposit or else buy a good bond or a share of standard stock. The average person does not think much about Harrisburg as a home of thrift. It has become notable for excellent municipal housekeeping, which Henry W. (Jough put on a high plane when the loans thai made possible the great public improvements were started and some of Its business establishments are models In economy and efficiency. Yet, somehow or other, it has never won, much of a reputation as a community of savers and has upon more than ono occasion been chlded because of its spenders. The real situation is. be clare men in touch with finances, that Harrisburg people are continually starting savings accounts and "salting" away money. The postal savings here amount to a pretty respectable item, but they are really insignificant when the savings accounts in the banks are considered. It is a good thing for a city when savings are a big feature of the business of its financial institu tions. The nearest the new transcontinen tal telephone lines comes to Harris burg is Dallastown, York county, where there is a substation. The first messages flashed across the lonn dis tance last night and henceforth it will be possible to hold conversations at any time during the day or night be tween New York and San Francisco. It takes just one-fifteenth of a second for the voice to travel the distance that the fastest railroad train cannot cover in less than five days. When the tables of time and distance were made up one of the telephone officials could not believe one-fifteenth of a second could be correct, so he and the printer made it fifteen seconds, where upon. it is said, the men in charge of the big enterprise shed tears and tore their hair. It Is a remarkable coincidence that the men who first talked to each other over the experi mental wires Bell strung to test the utility of liia invention between two rooms in the same building were at opposite ends of the wires yesterday when the first message was flashed across the continent. Much of the Pennsylvania part of the work of set ting up the trancontinental line was done in the Harrisburg office of the company. A new form of betting has cropped up in Harrisburg. It is on who Is go ing to lose the next ship—allies or Germans. The other day a couple of men bet and yesterday one paid the bet. Last night the loser came back and demanded his money back be cause the Berlin report contended that the British lost as well. '• Jesse K. B. Cunningham, who Is be } ing much discussed in the news these i days, used to teach school while he ; was studying law. He was elected dis trict attorney when Westmoreland was ! a Democratic county, upsetting the j time-honored order of things. i People who keep in touch with re | cruiting matters say that there has been considerable interest displayed in | recruiting matters since the debates !in Congress have been going on and ! that if an increase in the army and navy 'is authorized that there will be no I difficulty in securing men in this part of the State. Inquiries have been nu ! merous and some find husky young I men have been asking about the ser ! vices. It is not generally known but Harrisburg was an excellent recruit ing ground for the navy and marine corps some years ago. A new and totally unexpected de mand for the fine Gettysburg book issued by the State as a record of the remarkable reunion of the Blue and the Gray at the battlefield in July, 1913. has turned up and State officials are wondering how to meet It. It seems that there have been requests for copies of the book by veterans and families of veterans In most of the public libraries of the country. The commission set aside 250 copies of the book for distribution through the State Library, it being the idea that if could supply those in this State. The demand for the book has been brisk at every Pennsylvania library. In all probability there will be steps taken by the legislature to provide for more copies. The request for information about books relating to South America con tinues at the Harrisburg Public Li brary and there has also sprung up a demand for text books on the Span ish language. Apparently the speech of Governor Brumbaugh at the meet ing of the State teachers on the im portance of learning Spanish has struck home with a good many peo ple in the State's capital. The library is taking steps to secure some books which will meet this new demand. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —George P.

The newspaper holds a direct commission from the people and It exists and thrives by the ser vice It gives. The informative advertising a newspaper carries Is part of Its service towards its readers. They receive it with confidence —the kind of confidence that pays the intelligent advertiser. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FIRST BILLS FROM UH: They Were Presented Last Night and Will Get the No. 1 Mark For This Session GOSSIP OF THE LEGISLATURE ! Germantown Man Gets Into the Limelight With a Battlefield Monument Bill Senator S. W. Salus. Philadelphia, had the honor of introducing the first bill of the session in the Senate and Representative Roney in the House. The first Senate bill was for a Phila delphia appropriation and Mr. Ronev's was for a constitutional convention. The House received more bills than usual for the tirst night, over twenty appropriation bills being put in. The bills were all referred to committees to-day by Speaker Ainbler and those for the appropriations committee were immediately docketed by -Mr. Wood ward. Mr. Woodward called his com mittee together this morning and ad dressed them on the task before them. He expects to see the Governor and Chairman Buckman, of the Senate committee, at once about the work. The bills are K°' n (r be held within the revenue. Mr. Woodward did this in previous sessions. —Ex-Representative C. F. Swift, of Reaver, now connected with the Anti- Saloon League, was about the House last night. —Representative Hibschman. of Lancaster, chairman of the House committee on agriculture, was granted leave of absence because of illness. —Prominent mine workers who are here for the conference on legislation, were among visitors to the House last evening. —Representative A. C. Stein, of Al legheny. said that he had the bill for compensation drafted by the State In dustrial Accidents commission and planned to present it next week. He will consult with Governor Brum baugh about it. —Senator Crow returned last night from Cniontown where he has been since the receiverships began to be put out. —A photographer bombarded the House taking pictures last night. He caught Col. Adams, of the Coldstream Guards, first of all. Germantown folks don't like the monument which a State Commission erected in Vernon Park to commem orate the Battle of Germantown. and there is a strong feeling among them that the monument is unfinished and inadequate. It is a stone tablet of about twelve feet in height, with let tering on it telling about the happen ings on that famous day and year when Washington's army met the British red coats and bullets flew thick around the Chew mansion. The dis senting Germantowners. however, think, that the monument should pay more honor to the Continental sol diers and that a figure of a Continen tal soldier should surmount the monu ment. There is a flat space on top of the tablet which would accommodate such a figure, and they want it put there. Therefore, Senator Owen B. Jenkins, who is serving his first term as the Senatorial representative of Germantown, has at their behest drawn up a bill providing that the State make a further appropriation to put the figure of a Continental soldier atop the monument. Senator Jenkins [introduced the measure to-day, it be ing among his maiden efforts in the way of new laws. —Democratic members of the House did not show much interest in the proposed Democratic legislative program last night and the absence of bosses who were so conspicuous last session was much commented upon. ! —Milton W. Lowry, prominent Scranton man. is here to attend the State College trustees meeting. —Senator Moses E. Clapp will ad dress a public meeting in the House | to-night on woman suffrage. He comes by invitation of the Woman Suffrage Association. —Governor Brumbaugh will have a conference with the auditor general. State treasurer and the chairmen of the appropriations committees this week regarding the finances. An ef fort to find out how much can be ap propriated. —The bill of Mr. MUliron. Arm strong. presented last night, is a squelcher for fusion. A man cannot be a candidate of any party except that of which he is a bona fide mem ber if the act goes through. It will end the practice of men being on half a dozen tickets. —Representative Samuel J. Perry, of Philadelphia, the author of the box ing bill of last session, plans to intro duce it again this year. Mr. Perry would have the authorities issue per mits lor fights and control them In tha ' interest of sport. —Tiie move engineered against the Public Service Commission toy the Home League, which appears to liave its mainspring in Allegheny county, came to the surface last night in bills to abolish the commission and to re i strict its powers. The opinion among | legislators was that the league was after commissioners rather than the commission. THE BREAD LINE BACK AGAISf ; See tlie bread lines in the city ; Growing longer day by day.

I live in Clymn j.street nearest to the proposed site and j have consulted with some of my neighbors and only one objected. The self-constituted protest committee does not represent the people and have not consulted them regarding th?ir wishes in the matter. We are not all of the same mind.

Stiles Duncan, the Perry county Democratic chairman, division chair man of the Democracy and general field scout for the defeated machine in the recent election, has come into his reward in the shape of a Duncannon post office. For some time it has been rumored that the affable Duncan would get the post office in the town that sounds like his own name and as a re ward for hard work most Democrats figured out that he ought to have it. He was named yesterday. The Senate post office committee decided at Washington yesterday to recommend for confirmation the ap pointments of JoSeph P. McMahon for postmaster at Susquehanna, and J. S. Katz. for postmaster at Braddock. The appointments for East Strouds burg and Verona are held up. Sen ator Penrose asked that these four ap pointments be investigated on the ground that they were made as a re sult of a political bargain and under promises of support. The appointments were recommended by Representative A. Mitchell Palmer. The Braddock appointee was said to have been the selection of Representative M. Clyde Kelly, a Progressive, who had opposed the Republican State ticket. Senator Penrose, who is now ill, will be heard before the East Stroudsburg and Ve rona nominees are acted on by the committee. Mr. McMahon went be fore the committee with Mr. Palmer and made his own defense, denying any political bargain or pre-election pledges. President Wilson made these post master nominations yesterday for Pennsylvania: B. Stiles Duncan, Dun cannon: John B. Shea, Eldred; John F. Drake, Hawley; Winifred Hughes, Tioga.

KEEP YOUR BEES DRV IX WINTER In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a bee expert says that bees have to be protected through the win ter not so much from cold as from dampness. Good dry cold does not hurt bees. The principal thing to guard against' is the getting of water or slush into the entrance of the hive and the freezing of this water, thereby shut ting off the air and suffocating tha bees.
