SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. «.
DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION
IF, as intimated iri the gossip that
travels up and down the corridors of
the State Capitol, Governor Brum
baugh has been asking questions
indicating that ho has in mind an ef
fort to work out the suggestion for a
ilepartment of conservation and should
be able to bring about, together
with his ptan for agricultural prog
ress, no will have done more than the
conservationists have asked of liim.
Some people In Pennsylvania will not
ngree to the idea that the Department
of Forestry which lias built up the
million-acre reserve and established
the plans for systematic reforesta
tion should smk its identity in any
other department and the men fam
iliar with tne work of the State Game,
.Water Supply and Fisheries Commis
sion:: will probably feel the same way
about those energetic branches of the
State government.
Looking at the matter in a business
like way, however, there is some merit
in the proposition to consolidate. It
would certainly reduce expense. The
merging of the tield forces of the de
partments would make the patrol
work more effective and if the State
police could be called upon by rangers
and wardens to aid in times of
emergency, so much the better.
Whether it will be practicable now,
when a couple of the departments
have on hand some great projects re
quiring special skill to handle, is a
matter for thorough consideration and
study. Governor Brumbaugh is not
without high qualifications as an ad
ministrator and will doubtless arrive
at his conclusions after he has had
time to make his survey and to prose
cute inquiries as to the details of de
partmental business. The Governor is
not going to turn the whole State gov
ernment upside down or to curtail in
ny way the notable conservation
work of the State. Instead, he means
to further it all he can.
CAMP HILL'S CIVIC CLUB
WHEREVER you find a live,
energetic Civic club there
also will you find a lively,
progressive town. In this
respect our little neighbor, Camp Hill,
is indeed fortunate. The Civic Club
of that pretty and growing suburb has
gotten so far along with its plans for
borough improvement as to be think
ing of a public library and a reading
room. Its committees are already
preparing to make Camp Hill a flyless
town next summer and while the resi
dence character of the borough is
such as to make unnecessary any
large contributions to charity, the club
is not asleep in this respect and has
appointed a standing committee of
three to see to it that nobody in Camp
l fill suffers for lack of food or cloth
ing.
The club called upon a very well
versed and .enthusiastic speaker
when it asked Miss Alico R. Eaton to
address it on the subject of public
libraries. Miss Eaton has done a
good work for Ilarrisbu'rg and we pre
dict success for Camp Hill if ahe is
interested In the enterprise.'
THE BUREAU OF STANDARDS
LEGISLATORS havo very proper
ly advanced without opposition
a bill presented early in the
session designed to place the
State Bureau of Standards on a Arm
and permanent footing. W r hen this
Bureau was created Pennsylvania had
no standards of commodities to speak
of and the law prlviding sealers of
weights and measures for cities and
counties was purely optional. Under
'he administration of James Sweeney
the Eureau has been developed until
to-day there arc about thirty inspec
tors of weights and measures operat
ing in the State and interest is grow
ing in the work continually.
At the instigation of Mr. Sweeney a
net container law has been passed re
quiring that all goods sold in pack
ages be distinctly marked with the
net quantity contained therein. The
pavings thus affected alone would jus
tify the maintenance of the depart
ment. Wherever communities have
established the office of sealer it has
l>cen found that hundreds of dealers
intentionally or unintentionally were
giving their patrons light weight or
•«hort measure, or both. Right here
iln Harrisburg and Dauphin county
Ihundreds of sets of scales and scores
K>f measures either have been con-
SATURDAY EVENING,
demned outright or corrected to
bring them up to standard. It has
been estimated by those familiar with
conditions that the loss to the consu
mer in these ways has been far in
excess during the average year of the
amount paid In school or road tax.
The dishonest dealer had been tak
ing out of the pockets of his patrons
from a fraction of a cent to as much
as two and three cents on every sale.
The total of such shortages when ap
plied to any household grocery, butch
er or produce bill may readily be es
timated.
The honest dealer has no complaint
to make. He realizes the importanoe
of co-operating with the State In
this respect. With a vigilant sealer on
the job, he is no longer placed on un
fair competition with the man who
has been cutting prices and quanti
ties at the same time.
Anything that the Legislature may
do to promote the efficiency of the
Bureau of Standards will be felt di
rectly in a beneficial way by the con
sumers of the State.
A USEFUL ORGANIZATION
THE Chamber of Commerce of the
United States in session at
Washington this week has set
before the counyy some very
decided views concerning the govern
ment's relations to business. The only
trouble is that we have at the national
capital an administration not at all
responsible to public opinion so ex
pressed.
The purposes of the National Cham
ber of Commerce were very well set
forth some time since by John H.
Fahey, its president, in an address at
Dayton, in which he defined the or
ganization as a clearing house for the
hundreds of local business organiza
tions throughout the country. As vari
ous cities and towns developed trade
organizations which became more and
more useful, the need of a controlling
body became more and more apparent.
The National Chamber was formed
through the efforts of President Taft
when he called a conference in Wash
ington, in April, 1912, of the represen
tatives of all local commercial organl
tions to give voice to the needs and
desires of the commercial organiza
tions in all parts of the nation.
This Chamber is mado up of men
who know the needs of the business
world through daily personal contact
with them. They are not given over
to the promotion of pet theories. They
are Interested only in fair play for the
"little merchant as well as the big
manufacturer, for the Chamber em
braces all classes of commercial en
terprise.
The broad and comprehensive scale
upon which those at the head of the
organization think and operate is evi
denced from the comprehensive, hut
at the same time progressive and sane,
program outlined by the speakers at
Washington this week. How much bet
ter if the President and those who are
at his elbow would give ear intelli
gently to the needs of our people thus
expressed, rather than to the follow
ing of will-of-the-wisps that lead but
to the mires of business depression in
stead of those Utopian heights which
are in the vision of the theorists now
in charge of our national affairs.
THE FIVE CENT LOAF
ONE simple John Tomkins once
said when the price of meat
made it impossible for him to
dine sumptuously as was his
wont on a juicy steak or a prime
roast of beef—"For why should I
grumble and murmur he said; if I
cannot get meat I can surely get
bread."
One wonders what the optimistic
Mr. Tomkins would add under present
conditions with meat high and still
soaring and the bakers threatening to
advance the price of bread.
One must pity the small baker, who
has been unable to take advantage of
the market and lay in a sufficient
quantity of flour to insure him against
sharp and sudden increases in the
price of grain. He is, indeed, between
"the devil and the deep blue sea." He
has seen flour go up $2 a barrel in the
past few months and he has not been
able to increase his earnings by one
penny. Just what is going to become
of him in the present melee neither he
nor anybody else can at present guess.
But one thing is certain, the Amer
ican people ought not to be taxed the
threatened additional one cent per loaf
in order that grain speculators may
send vast quantities of our foodstuffs
abroad. If Europe is willing to have
her men destroying each other in war
fare instead of planting and sowing
and grinding and baking, why should
the United States enoourage that sort
of thing by feeding the worse than
idle millions in camp and the trenches
The thing to do now is what we will
unquestionably come to at a later
period. We must lock the door before
the horse is stolen—if the animal Is
not already on Its way across the
ocean.
The government must declare an
embargo on wheat. European gov
ernments are absolutely indifferent to
the interests of the United States, ex
cept insofar as they balance with what
the rulers of the warring nations deem
to be for their own good. We owo
England nothing. We owe Germany
nothing. But we do owe our people
the reward of their own thrift and
enterprise, and we should see to it
that nothing stands between them and
the enjoyment of the bounty that na
ture has given in the record-breaking
grain crops of last year. It is the
height of folly to starve our hard
working, peace-loving men and wo
men at home in order that the soldiers
of Europe shall live on the fat of the
land and that speculators shall grow
rich with ill-gotten gains.

is being overstocked with orchards.
Everyone seems to be wanting to set
out orchards. Last year was an un
usually good one for fruit but the re
turns were small. What the people
want to do is to plant fewer trees and
to cultivate those they have and then
to keep the trees low so that they
can bo thinned out. If the fruit grow

crops they will be surprised at the
fine fruit that can be raised. We

there is a demand for livestock,
horses cattle and everything that fur
nishes food and animal products. The
war will not only create a demand for
the food products, but think of the
leather that will be required and of
the draught animals that will be
needed. Turn some of the land on
which it is planned to set out fruit
trees into clover or grass and feed
it to livestock. The returns will be
as certain on the products as they will
be on wheat for a while. This State
has a wonderful agricultural oppor

The demand for the State's book
on the Gettysburg reunion has proved
a source of embarrassment to many
people at the Capitol because the sup
ply has run out and people in every
State in the Union are writing to Har
risburg asking for copies. One of the
surprises lias been the number of re
quests from Pacific States where
former Pennsylvanlans are living and
they have offered to pay whatever
price the State demands for it. Many
requests have also come from the
southern veterans who participated in
the reunion. The bill now pending
in the Senate will provide for the
further publication of the book. '
In the office mail the other day Miss
Maude Miller, clerk and stenographer
to City Commissioner Harry F. Bow
man, superintendent of streets and
public improvements, found a deli
cately tinted letter addressed to her
self, "very personal and important."
Miss Miller promptly applied a hair
pin to the usual service and slit open
the note. The missive was signed
with some sort of a nom de plume and
was postmarked Middletown. This
is what it contained:
Dear Miss Miller:
Here is a very important ques
tion which I think you could an
swer better than anyone else I
know. Please answer sooji be
cause. I am very anxious to
know. Here's the question:
Under the present conditions
and all things being equal, how
long will it take Jeff to grow as
tall as Mutt?
Do answer soon.
Lew R. Palmer, chief inspector ot
the Department of Labor and Industry
and an old Princeton football player,
has been in Pittsburgh preaching the
gospel of clean pavements. Mr. Pal
mer is one of the foremost workers
for safety llrs", «nd his ideas have
been told all over the State. Out in
Pittsburgh he said that the greatest
menace to the public !s an icy pave
ment in a much traveled street.
The meetings of the various agricul
tural organizations held in this city
last, week have attracted national at
tention. Men identified with the na
tional government and a number of
State governments have asked for in
formation on the proceedings and the
topics discussed. For an industrial
State, Pennsylvania seems to be at
tracting much attention in an agri
cultural way.

o' the west?" said an Allison Hill man
the other day, "there's a cat out
our way that lias anything beaten I
ever saw in the feline realm. We
have a pretty maltese cat," he ex
plained, "and she has a host of ad
mirers, but there's only one yowler in
the lot she seems to care a meow
about. He's a great big black fellow
and he pays our back yard a visit as

that cat lives? Kxactly four squares

PA-MC LEAGUE MAY
BE INVESTIGATED
Anti-Penroie Resolution Turns Out
to Have Prongs on Many
Sides Nowadays
PALMER BADLY TRIMMED
Election of Casey as His Successor
Was Against His Wishes and
His Candidate
—Democratic machine adherents
who have been shouting for an inves
tigation of the nomination and elec
tion of Senator Boles Penrose who was
chosei. ffenator by a pluralitv of some
thing like a quarter million votes,
were mighty quiet to-day when they
learned that there was provision in
the Senate resolution for the "probe"
which would include their own party's
gilden campaign. Some of the Demo
crats who had read the way the Sen
ate committee on elections had
amended the resolution saw a chance
for Mr. Penrose and his friends to use
the artillery planned against the Sen
ator to shell the Democratic camps
in Clinton and other counties where
there have been charges made regard
ing the expenditures and methods of
the adherents of A. Mitchell Palmer
and Vance C. McCormick. It will be
recalled that the State rang with
charges made against the primary
methods of the Democratic machine
and therfe should be some "good hunt
ing" uncter the Penrose resolution.
—A Washington dispatch says: "The
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections to-day voted to report fa
vorably to the Senate the resolution
of Senator George W. Norrls, of Ne
braska, calling for an investigation
of the primary and general elections
in Pennsylvania and other States.
Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana,
chairman of the committee, said he
would make the report to the Senate
at its next meeting Monday. If an
investigation is ordered a probe of
the election In Indiana, Alabama,
South Dakota and California, in addi
tion to Pennsylvania and Illinois, will
be asked when the resolution is con
sidered. At to-day's meeting of the
committee the resolution was amended
to read as follows:
" 'Resolved, that the Committee on
Privileges and Flections of the Senate
be, and hereby is authorized, empow
ered and directed to make an investi
gation for the purpose of ascertaining
the expenditure of money made by
candidates and other persons, commit
tees, organizations, corporations and
associations in the nomination of can
didates for the United States Senate
at the primary elections recently held
in the State of Pennsylvania and Il
linois, and such other States, and in
any other States where such evidence
is presented to said committee, as in
their judgment will warrant such an
investigation.' The resolution further
directs that the same investigation and
; recommendations be made in regard
to the collection and expenditure of
funds in behalf of the 'election of the
candidates who were nominated at the
primaries.'
—Senator Penrose said in discussing
the resolution last night: "The state
ments originally submitted to the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections were intended solely for
campaign purposes. This object was
so apparent that members of tho com
mittee refused to consider them un
til after election. There is no foun
dation in these statements and, so
far as I am concerned, it makes
not tTse slightest difference whether
or not there is an investigation.
From the beginning I have held
this position and I shall be satisfied
with e.ny action the Senate may take
The election in Pennsylvania resulted
in such an overwhelming Republican
victory that the irresponsible utter
ances of defeated candidates are
hardly worthy of consideration. Ac
cording to well-defined reports there
were flagrant abuses in the elections
in several States and I understand the
attention of the Senate will be called
to these reputed violations of the
law. In this way the investigation
may be extended to all the States
where Senatorial elections were held."
Jsext to the unexpected development
in the probe which was planned to
unhorse Penrose, but which may
cause many anxious weeks to Demo
cratic bosses instead, the adherents
of the discredited Palmer-McCormlck
machine in this section were talking
about the defeat administered to
Palmer in Congress, where he was
hailed by certain newspapers as the
personal representative of the Presi
dent a while ago. Reference was
made yesterday to the election of
John J. Casey, of Wilkes-Barre, to
the ways and means committee to suc
ceed Palmer over the Monroe coun
tian's personal choice, John V. Lesher,
of Sunbury. It is believed in Wash
ington that this election marks the
real downfall of Palmer, McCormick,
Morris, Blakslee and their ilk in Penn
sylvania Democracy. A Washington
dispatch says: "To the so-called 'Old
Guard' of Pennsylvania Democracy
belongs the chief credit of Casey's
victory and in achieving it the Wilkes-
Barre man added a new page to Ways
and Means Committee history. Casey
is the first union labor leader ever to
gain a seat in this ail-powerful com
mittee and he is the third Pennsylva
nia Democrat thus honored. The first
Pennsylvania Democrat ever chosen
on the Ways ana Means Committee
was the late William L. Scott, of Erie,
and a rather peculiar coincidence is
remarked because of the fact that
Michael Liebel, Jr.. an 'Old Guard'
Democrat of the most stalwart type,
who will represent the old Scott dis
trict in the next Congress, is one of
the most potent leaders in the move
ment to bring about the election of
Casey. Mr. Liebel, despite the fact
that he is a Wilson Democrat, was
openly opposed at the laat election
by Mr. Palmer and other reorganiza
tion leaders, through their friends and
lieutenants in his district. Mr. Liebel
has been here since Monday working
in Casey's behalf. Still another pecu
liar 'Old Guard' coincidence is the
fact that in the caucus last night
Casey was placed in nomination by
Arthur G. Dewalt, of the Lehigh-
Berks district, who was one of the
numerous Democratic leaders slated
for the political scrap heap by Mr.
Palmer and the reorganizcr leaders."
—William Flinn left Philadelphia
yesterday on his way to Florida and
the plan of forming a new progres
sive party to catch the kickers at
municipal elections is under way in
earnest, but ajso under cover. Men
in several counties where there are
chronic insurgent movements have
been sounded out as to whether they
would care to align themselves with
a party of protest again.
—Organization was effected by the
Seventh Ward Progressive ciub at a
meeting at 1320 Cowden street. These
officers were elected: President. John
Jackson; vice-president, Edward Bur
ris: secretary. George Johnson: treas
urer, Nole Brown. Addresses were
given by Mr. Dunlap, William Bur
goon, William S. Moser, John Johnson
and Edward Burris.

chew tobacca nor drink beer, and
only swears occasional, and I couldnt
