THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 4.
FINANCING THE HIGHWAYS
SENATOR WILLIAM C. SPROUL
is so levelheaded and speaks so
frankly on legislative affairs when
he has anything to say that his
suggestions in regard to the ways and
means of financing the State's highway
proposition are worthy of the most
careful attention. It is well recognized
now that the Commonwealth will not
liavo as much money to appropriate as
it had two years ago. No doubt, the
Auditor General will do as his prede
cessors have done and discover some
money not calculated in the estimate
about the time the Governor comes to
sign appropriation bills. At present,
however, the outlook is that the State
will have to skim along on reduced
income, and, like the man who in
tended to buy an automobile before
ho figured out his income, will suffer
disappointments. Some suggestions
about increase of revenue are being
exploited just now, some for the
gratifying publicity which they bring,
s ome to aid and some to embarrass.
There arc some of the latter class, and
the less said about them the better,
especially when they come from peo
ple not entrusted by the popular voice
with the government of the State.
Tho Delaware senator puts forth
the suggestion that the State revoke
the act of last session making personal
property taxable only for county pur
poses. This was done to help along
Philadelphia and some other counties
and the anthracite coal tax was put
out as recompense. While we have
no means of knowing, it is surmised
that the collection of the tax is not
as near the mark in the matter of
assessments, at least as it was under
the county tax bureau of the State,
and we all know that we have gotten
a. controversy instead of income from
the anthracite tax, the people paying
th& bills going and coming, as usual.
Senator Sproul intimates that it might
be a good thing to restore the old plan
of the State getting a fourth of the tax,
or even more. This would give over
a million and would help highways
amazingly. The assessors could get"
out after the tax dodgers, of whom
we hear every now and then, and help
their counties and their State, and
the State could put it back on the
roads and help the counties.
TUK TRADE EXCURSION'
HARRISIiURG businessmen who
were so fortunate as to be in
cluded in tho party that toured
surrounding towns last sum
mer under the auspices of the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce need not
be told that a very pleasant experience
lies in store for those who take advan
tage of tho trade expansion trip now
being planned by that organization
for February 19, 23 and 25 next. It is
to be hoped that the party will be
even larger than that of last year.
The Chamber proposes to go into
territory where some of our whole
salers and distributors have been do
ing an extensive business, but in
which many of our people are not very
well acquainted. Somebody has said
that association begets acquaintance,
that acquaintance begets confidence
and that confidence begets business,
and this is true. It behooves, us,
therefore, if we are to look for an ex
tension of our local business into sur
rounding towns, to get out and rub
Bhoulderi v.itn those who are doing
things in those communities. Like
wise, tho other fellows may have
something to snow us which we might
do well to learn.
OVERWORKING THE ARCHAIC
IP there is any foundation for that
oft-repeated statement that custom
is stronger than law, it is time that
the people of Pennsylvania make it
impossible for individuals desiring to
obtain publicity or to satisfy grudges
to invoke the old blue laws. These
acts of 1784 forbade doing on the Sab
bath practically three-fourths of the
things which wo now do every Sunday
and which most of the residents of the
State would rise to defend. The prin
ciple of the 131-year-old law is as
strong and as worthy to-day as it was
when it was spread upon the statute
books, only the people have changed.
They have customs to-day of which the
framers of the old law never dreamed
and cessation of trains, trolley cars,
mails, milk and ice deliveries and
other things on the first day of the
week, commonly called the Christian
Sabbath, would upset the whole com
munity and cause even those most re
verential in their regard for Sunday to
say things under their breath or to
THURSDAY EVENING,
give vent to outbreaks in the sanctity
of the family circle.
The arrest of a number of railroad
men for running trains through Port
Royal and of four others for cleaning
the snow away from the station of the
Juniata county town shows how the
old law may be invoked to clog the
wheels of a railroad or a trolley sys
tem or a milk route. Every now and
then some courageous person rises and
demands repeal of the old laws and
some other folks rush as zealously to
their defense. The trouble is that we
have reached a stage where custom
decrees things to which the law must
bow, and while no good citizen would
for an instant want to take away
rational safeguards of the "Day of
Rest and Gladness, the Day of Joy
and Peace," the fact remains that the
old law needs to be brought down to
date.- Many people live far from their
church, the babies must have milk
and not every doctor or nurse has an
automobile to speed on errands of
necessity and mercy.
GETTING tXDER WAY
CITY SOLICITOR DANIEL, S.
SEITZ is losing no time in get
ting under way the plans so
wisely approved by Council on
Tuesday for the Improvement of the
Hardscrabble district. Within two
weeks the solicitor will apply to the
Dauphin County Court for the ap
pointment of viewer to assess benefits
and damages incident to the taking
over by the city of the properties along
the west side of Front street between
Calder and Herr streets, in order that
Park Commissioner Taylor may pro
ceed with the formal opening of the
river front between those, points from
the western curbline to low water
mark.
One of the most interesting features
of Mr. Seltz's plan is that th® bond
issue which may be required to insure
the prompt purchase of the desired
houses and land can be floated by tha
city without resort to popular vote. In
making this clear to Council Mr. Seltz
points out that Harrisburg is a half
mllllon dollars at least within the bor
rowing limit beyond which It could
not go without putting a bond issue
up to the voters.
. When the first and succeeding pub
lic improvement loans were before the
people, those who opposed them did
so largely on the ground that by their
approval the city would be placed
under such a burden of debt that it
would be well-nigh bankrupt before
improvements contemplated were com
pleted. How inaccurate these esti
mates were is shown by the fact that
not only have we cleared away our
Indebtedness as fast as had been esti
mated by those back of the improve
ment campaigns, but we have gotten
rid of our debts more rapidly than we
have been making them, notwith
standing that we have never paused
l'or a moment in the prosecution of
those great enterprises in which we
as a city have been engaged for al
most fifteen years.
It is gratifying indeed to those who
have had the improvement of Harris
burg at heart and who urged the
voting of large sums for public work
to find the city nt this time over
sioo,ooo within its borrowing capacity.
POOR PAUL
PAUL POIRET, the famous Paris
fashion dictator, is in trouble.
The Germans are trying to get
his precious scalp and the Amer
icans arc trying to get his business,
[lie is trying to get into the German
trenches at the point of the bayonet,
and Americans are trying to get into
his preserves at the points of needle
and shears. It is all very sad: espe
cially so since the erstwhile all
powerful Paul can do ftothing to pro
tect his rear, so to speak, but emit gal
lons of verbal tears.
Hear him rave in a signed article
from the trenches:
I wait and I smile. Not that I
doubt your capacity. No! It would
not be polite, and it would be im
pudent, because "One should not
defy a fool," as a wise man once
said, and 1 believe you capable of
daring anything. * * * Of
course (with great sarcasm), there
will be difficulties—notably the lack
of embroideries, of artificial Howers
—but your savior-falre can do
without them. • • « You arc
defeated in advance, and history
is about to prove that imposters
have no power against truth. And
tho eternal truth is that the em
pire of fashion is in Paris. • •
* As to inspiration that springs
from the very pavements of Paris,
It does not flourish in your climate.
But you will cultivate it In Chicago
—thus will your beautiful program
be realized.
All this and much more of the same
sort; a tirade evidently intended to be
overwhelmingly ironic, but which
sounds more like the shriek of pained
surprise popularly supposed to ac
company the major operation of sud
denly separating a small boy from a
large stick of candy.
It must be pleasing, Indeed, for
Paris-gowned American ladles to learn'
that the dainty Paul has been designing
garments for "fools" and "imposters"
whom he dare not "defy." And it Is
equally edifying to learn that "Inspira
tion springs from the very pavements
of Paris." We always suspected there
was something akin to the gutter in
the Paris-born "hobble" and its twin
sisters, the "slit skirt" and the "peek
aboo waist."
We had hoped to see America de
velop some style of its own, but now
we have to admit that the thing is im
possible. You see, as Poiret points out,
we have no Paris-made artificial flow
ers—none of those lovely creations of
yester years, those crosses between the
flowers that bloom in the Spring tra-la
and the things we see in the wee
small hours following an over-indulg
ence in Welsh rabbit or mince pie.
Too bad that on such an apparent trifle
should hang the fate of what for a
moment appeared to be the bright
prospect of fashions born of sanity and
common sense. But it's all over. The
dream is ended. Lower your rifle,
Paul, or turn it on the Germans. We
in America are poor. Ignorant provin
cial*'. without a truly artistic thought
amongst us. Only you'd better get rid
of the Germans pretty soon, for some
of those crafty New York designers
are already beginning to fool us. We've
actually got so we can't tell the differ
ence between a Paris gown and a
New York dress.
j Isn't it perfectly awful! I
I EVENING CHAT I
The private secretaries of the Pen
nypacker, Stuart, Tener and Brum
baugh administrations met at lunch
In one of the cafes of the city yes
terday afternoon and in all proba
bility the Society for Dining ex-Private
secretaries to Governors will be heard
ot in a short time. It happened that
A. B. Millar, secretary of the Public
Service Commission and secretary to
c? .i, n S ' Sluart > came In with James
S. iliatt, the secretary to Governor
Brumbaugh. Bromley Wharton, who
was secretary to Governor Pennypack
er. then came along and Joined the
group at the table. Ilia chief was
also in the room at the time. A few
minutes later Walter H. Galther, Pub
lic Service Commissioner, and secre
tary to Governor Tener, also appeared
and the whole party had lunch to
gether. it was the first time these
four keepers of official consciences
had gotten together and It caused
much comment and considerable in
quiry as to whether a dinner club was
being formed or Mr. Htatt was being
initiated into the order.
Some of the handsome evergreen
trees about the city have been serlous
i iy damaged by the weight of the snow
jand ice which has fallen upon them
the last few days. The rain froze
j as it fell and some of the evergreens
resemble exaggerated sponge trees, if
there is such a thing. AVhole masses
of foliage are frozen together and the
branches are bending down with the
mass of ice. Limbs and tops have
been badly broken In many instances.
The lights of the industries at
j Steelton are carried for many miles at
night because of the icy condition of
! everything this week. People who
| have been back in the country and
| over in Cumberland county say that
the reflection is seen for long distances
land that the skies are filled with the
i glow from the steel mills and furnaces
for a longer period than usual.
Harry A. Boyer, who opened the
meeting of the State School Directors'
Association here yesterday is a native
born alumnus of the Harrisburg High
i school and is also president of tho
j Harrisburg School Board. Mr. Boyer
| graduated from the high school when
jit held its sessions in Chestnut street
and was also president of the alumni
association. He has given much at
tention to school matters and has been
on a number of committees on legis
lation.
i One of the odd things about the
hlfth water that has prevailed during
this week is that no one seems to be
thinking anything at all about the
sanitary dam. it will be recalled that
when the first high water occurred
last Fall that a number of people
manifested great nervousness about '
what was going to happen, but the old i
Susquehanna just went over the dam i
as it was predicted back in this time
of 1902 that it was going to do. In
the light of what has occurred the ar
guments advanced at the time of the
loan election thirteen years ago are
, well borne out. The dam has made
no trouble and no one thinks about it
any more.
Members of the National Guard
companies here have started to get
ready for the next inspection of the
organizations which is due to take
place sometime in March. The last
inspection was by regular army offi
cers and is entirely a separate affair
from that which is to take place. It
is the aim of the two infantry com
panies to parade full ranks.
| Capitol Park pavements were used
I for sledding last night for the first
time in a long while, groups of young
sters being out with their flyers and
enjoying the fun. Almost every slope
had its coasters last night, and on
Allison Hill the kids had a fine time
until they had to go to bed. However
the Capitol Park pavements had the
.call for fun by the little fellows and
!as people had to take to the street
j they did not carc a bit.
; Governor Brumbaugh lias been in
! office a little over a fortnight and has
1 been invited to make at least a score
| of speeches.
Many Harrisburgers will regret to
learn of the death of Col. Jacob S. Dil
linger. one of the old-time Democrats
of Allentown and a resident of this
city for several years during his con
nection with the Pattlson administra
tion. The colonel was a veteran of
! McClellan's army and was chairman
of the Lehigh county committee. He
i was an active Mason and attended
many functions.
Governor Brumbaugh found that
the bands had not stopped playing at
least as regards some eighty or ninety
Harrisburgers and up-State visitors
last evening when he left the Capitol
to enter the State's automobile for the
return to the Executive Mansion.
When he came out of the Capitol he
found a crowd of boys and girls, men
and women waiting to see him. They
had been waiting from ten to twenty
minutes and the Governor waved Ills :
hand to them when he entered the
car.
Motormen of the Harrisburg Rail- 1
ways Company have adopted a plan !
for keeping the windows clear of
frost. They use a mixture of alcohol
and glycerine and while it keeps the J
glass clear of accumulations due to the
interior heat of the car, when it is very 1
cold outside it has to be frequently 1
applied.
Ex-Senator John S. Fislier, of In- 1
diana, prominently mentioned for im
portant State offices, was here yester
day. !
That Harrisburg i 9 a ccutcr of 1
manufacturing of engine parts,

HARRIBBURG TELEGRAPH
NEW PARTY SHE i
NED BY FLU
Trying to Consolidate the Kickers
to Keep an Organization Going
Until 1916
CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT ON
Governor Tener Says He Is Not a
Candidate For His Old Seat—
New Escheat Laws
According to word which comes to
the city to-day from Philadelphia.
William Flinn, A. Xevln Detrich and
other field marshals of the decimated
progressive army in Pennsylvania
aro holding a rampflre council with a
view to reorganizing the forces. Flinn
is commencing to realize that the
"back to the party movement" is
growing stronger every day and that
' he Is in danger of being commander
presumptive of the political kickers
and the chronic outs.
One of the ideas is to have a State
organization with a name which each
bunch of insurgents in a city or coun
ty can use to designate their local
tights at this Fall's county and muni
cipal elections. The organization
would amount chiefly to a name, but
the scheme would be flexible so that
when kickers got tired of being kicked
they could go back to their own party
and the Flinn organization would not
suffer.
—The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times
says that the selection of a candidate
for Congress to succeed the late Wil
liam M. Brown will afford the tirst
test of the new Republican party
rules. Mr. Brown would have as
sumed his duties in March, but
whether a special election will be held
to select his successor depends on
what Congress does. If there is a spe
cial session the Governor may call a
special election in the three counties
of the district. In this event con
ferrees would name the Republican
candidate, one being named for each
1.000 Republican votes. The sugges
tion that John K. Tener be a candidate
was demolished by the Governor last
night who said that he was satisfied
to be out of politics. This is the dis
trict where the Governor ran six
years ago and defeated K. F. Aclieson.
The Governor is said to favor ex-Con
gressman C. X. Matthews, his own
successor. Congressman 11. W. Tem
ple is thinking about running, and
Representative W. D. Walton of New
Castle, is an out and out candidate.
Beaver and Washington counties may
also have candidates. Just what the
Democrats will do does not matter
much as their organization is suffering
from punctured tires.
—Governor Brumbaugh has refer
red to Attorney General Brown the pa
pers submitted to hint by attorneys
who are interested in bringing about
escheats of unclaimed bank deposits
and interest on unclaimed trust funds
in the banks and trust companies of
the State for the guidance of the
State's law officers in outlining a policy
in regard to the claiming for the State
of the thousands of dollars which it is
believed can be secured for the Com
monwealth. Mr. Brown is preparing
an act which will require the banking
institutions under the. control of the
State to make reports of such un
claimed funds at the end of the year
and to make it the duty of the Audi
tor General to collect them as he col
lects other moneys, thus doing away
with big escheat fees in such cases.
In the last few days the matter has
been brought to attention of State of
ficials by several parties who believe
that there are large sums which can
be escheated, but the opinion seems
to prevail that the Commonwealth
should not be mulcted of large fees
to get the money when an act could
settle the procedure.
—Auditor General Powell lias gone
John C. Bell, the retiring attorney
general, some better in the matter of
recovery of money due to the State
for the maintenance of insane classed
as indigent, but who are really well off
as far as this world's goods go. Mr.
Bell said in his report to the Legis
lature that half a million dollars could
be recovered. Mr. Powell thinks that
there are a couple of millions. As
shown by the Telegraph recently the
way for recovery of this money is easy
and it is possible that a new deputy
attorney general may be provided for
whose duty It shall be to collect this
money and who shall be empowered
to enter suit if necessary. The col
lections would thus be made through
the Attorney General's Department as
suggested by Mr. Bell.

To make them change their ways,
I've plead in manner kindly

With "Won't you please behave?"
One or the other answered.
"Say. Dad. you need "a shave."
Good luck to the Directors.
