TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26
BRIEF AND BUSINESSLIKE
AS it clears its decks for action
this week the Legislature might
do well to give some considera
tion to the recommendations of
Governor Brumbaugh and Lieutenant-
Governor McClain calling for a brief,
businesslike session.
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.

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 the strong men seeking shelter
From the icy blasts at night.
Where the city gives free lodging

OH. WHY 1
By Wine Dinger
Why will the Third Street trolley
Go like all sin downtown
And make nil kinds of traffic.
For speed. look like a clown.
Yet when the car gets uptown.
With naught to block its way.
Its pace would make a snail look
Just like a runaway?
Last night It took two minutes
To put nine blocks away,
Once It left Third and Walnut—
And that's the proper way.
From Fourth and Woodbine streets,
though,
It took a minute more
To traverse half that distance —
Gee, that's what makes me sore.
I patronize most all lines
Quite frequently, and yet
I've never found such service
On other lines I get.
I'm not a chronic kicker.
But when the price I pay
I'd like to get home promptly
And not loaf on the way.

D. Stiles Duncan Gets
Postmastership Job
D. 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.

CHEESE
Farm and Fireside says:
"The trouble with Limburger cheese
is that its smell assassinates its deli
cious taste. A Pennsylvania man states
that the outside of the cheese is the
part that smells objectionably, and
that if this part is cut off in chunks,
sliced, and given a few seconds of
immersion in hot water the smell will
be destroyed, leaving the taste unim
paired. The inside of the cheese, he
says, needs no treatment."

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.
