TUESDAY KY KITING, FEB. 16
A GOOD BUSINESS BILL
NOT many bills have the business
merit of that presented in the
Senate last night by Senator'
Edward E. Beidleman for the
advancement to those in charge of
State institutions of sufficient money
to enable them to pay cash for sup
plies. It does seem absurd that es
lablishments for the care of tho wards
:>f the Commonwealth cannot discount
iheir bills. Under the system long in
use the trustees must advertise for
bids on everything from blankets to
coffee and to let contracts on tenders
made. Then the sellers have to wait
weeks'before their bills are finally
passed by the Auditor General and
money sent to the trustees to make >
payments. Consequently many people
who would bid, if they did not have
to carry accounts, do not present of
fers and the State loses the benefit of
omp.etition.
Exactly why the State should not be
given every opportunity lo buy for
cash and to discount bills is difficult
lo understand and as the boards of
management of the various institu
tions are all men of high standing t
and the bill contains tho additional]
safeguard of a bond, there is no rea
son why the measure should not be
enacted. The Stntc is protected not
only In the advancement of the money,
but provision for an itemized account
ing to the Auditor General and for
deduction of cash balances is made.
Some of the business methods of the
State certainly do need an overhaul
ing. And this Is a good place to start.
HOME WORK FOR STUDENTS
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
SHAMBAUGH has worked out a
plan whereby the boys and girls
of tho public schools of Dauphin
icounty may be given proper credit for
home work. It is not the thought of
Professor Shambaugh to load the stu
dent with additional studies out of
school, but to encourage the lads and
lassies who make up the classes under
his direction to learn the ways of in
dustry by helping father and mother
with home duties.
For instance, tho hoy or girl who
builds the tire in the morning is given
one credit, turning 1 lie cream sepa
rator earns two credits, gathering the
eggs earns one credit, making and
baking bread earns ten credits, mow
ing the lawn earns ten credits, and so
on throughout the long list of those
household tasks generally known as
chores.
Uut the County Superintendent is
not content with this. He would im
prove the health of his pupils by giv
ftig credit marks for retiring before,
!i o'clock in the evening, brushing the
teeth, sleeping with the window open,
etc.
Father and mother are provided
with the credit marks and only those
who earn them will get them. At the
end of the school term diplomas are
to be given to those who have earned
them in this way and it will be a
proud day for Johnny or Sally when
be or she marches forward to receive
a certificate of efficiency In home and
farm duties.
f'rofessor Shambaugh has instituted
a number of improvements in the
school system since he was elected
less than a year ago, but we can think
of nothing so well worth while as this.
The County Commissioners will be en
tirely justified in paying whatever bills
the Superintendent may of necessity
contract to put this plan into full
operation.
PRESIDENT T.ut COMING
HARRISBURG has been fortu
nate in the number of noted
men WTIO have spoken here
during the past winter and tho
climax will lie reached with the com
ing of ex-President William Howard
Tuft, who will lecture oil Thursday
evening, April 15, under the auspices
of the Spectator Staff of the Harris
burg Academy.
President Taft enjoys a greater pop
ularity in the United States to-day
than when he wae triumphantly elect
ed to the Presidency. No man In the
history of this country was more mis
understood or abused than President
Taft during the closing days of his
administration. Maligned by enemies,
attacked for selfish reasons by trnit
orons friends as ungrateful as those
who slew Caesar, and placed In a false
position by circumstanoes over which
he luul no control, the then occupant
.if the Wblte House went down to dis
astrous defeat. But, like Grover
TUESDAY EVENING,
Cleveland, Mr. Tuft has so conducted
himself out of office that he has risen
I to new pinnacles of respect and confi
dence in the public mind.
He 1b beyond question America's
greatest statesman of the present day.
His recont utterances have all the
weight of rich experience, to which is
added statecraft of no mean ability,
combined with that other all too rare
product—common sense. Articles on
national economy in current issues of
the Saturday Evening Post shed a
new light upon his administration. He
is a big:, broad man of earnest con
victions and what he will have to say
upon the occasion of his visit to Hhar
risburg: will no doubt be of general in
terest and well worth hearing. The
Academy is to be congratulated upon
its success in procuring his services.
MH. MANNING'S PLAN
HARRIS BURG people will watch
with interest for the develop
ment of the rough plans War
ren 11. Manning haa drawn as
a suggestion for the improvement of
the Capitol Park extension zone. Mr.
Manning, as landscape engineer for
the City Planning Commlssiort, has
thought it proper to lay before that
body some ideas for the development
of this large tract of land so rapidly
being acquired by the State for a
I larger Capitol Park. While he has
] not been commissioned tb undertake
I this work for the Commonwealth, It
i is nevertheless proper and entirely
j within his scope of duty to let our city
j planners have his ideas on the subject.
| It will be but a very short time be
fore the Stats will be face to face with
the task of beautifying the land now
being purchased and it will not do to
wait until the property has ail been
acquired and the buildings removed to
begin to consider ways for this de
velopment. Now is the time to take
i the matter up. It will be a task of
| no mean proportions, and no one man
will do all of the planning and design
ing. The State should be glad to get
the views of the city on the subject,
especially in view of the fact that
Harrisburg as a municipality is gladly
giving up a vast amount of revenue in
taxes nnd not an inconsiderable
amount of land in streets to be aban
doned in order that the State may
have a proper setting for its hand
some Capitol.
IN TIIK MIDI)I,K
A SPIRIT that we in America
cannot understand is dis
played in the following open
letter of tho Deutsche Mon
tags Zeitung, a prominent and influ
ential German newspaper, to Admiral
Von Tirpitz:
As lone as our blockade only de
stroys ships and goods it remains
for England a question of money.
Ships that are sunk are written oft
as a business expenditure, and the
fight Is unequal because British
| puts in only money, while we put
in our good men
Things will be different when
British passengers are drowned.
Persons acquainted with psyehol- •
ogv of England know that the Ger
man blockade will be effective only
, If it costs the lives of many Eng
lish women and men.
German newspapers are not now
publishing much of importance at
variance with governmental policies,
so it must be implied that the senti
ments set forth, if not those of the
Kaiser, are at least not strongly dis
agreeable to him. Such suggestions
do not speak well for so-called Ger
man "kultur" any more than does
England's protestations of everlasting
friendship for the United States bal
ance with her recently announced)
policies with respect to our shipping.
We are forced to the conclusion that
we are dealing with a< desperate, mur
derous force on one hand and a selfish,
grasping pretender on the other.
We must act accordingly.
TWO SIDES Or THE STORV
TEN men who started at the bot
tom of the ladder as boys to
gether in an Eastern Pennsyl
vania mill and who have reached
positions of dignity, importance and
wealth met the other day to celebrate
their success by forming a public wel
fare association for the benefit of their
own town. I
In the aggregate they have vyjrkei
for this one firm a total of 322 years.
Starting as apprentices or office, boys,
without pull or favor, by twenty-five
years or more of persevering effort
they have worked up to the most im
portant positions in the great mill.
Each one had to start at the bottom
of the ladder and climb it rung by
rung. Most of them were less than 13
years of age when they started, and
most of them have served the com
pany from the time they were boys
until to-day. Forty-three years is the
record of one of them, and all have
been in the mill for more than twen
ty-live years.
The. story of their rise from the posi
tion of office boy to cashier, or doffer
boy to department head, is the same
story of honesty, hard work, intelli
gence and energy that has come to be
recognized as tho typical story of suc
cess in America.
Many who were their friends in
youth and started up the ladder with
them have dropped away—some, un
successful, leaving the mill, some dis
charged, some dead. Tho ten who re
main have drawn closer together year
by year until to-day they form a band
of friends such as is not often found.
This is sort of service that has
made the industries of America the
wonder of the world—service that
benefits and advances the worthy em
ploye as well as the employer, that
permits men to rise by merit from the
ranks to share in the profits and the
wealth they are helping to create.
And the most remarkable part of
it all is that these ten men are all
employes of the Joseph Grundy mill
at Bristol, a manufacturer whose
enemies have charged him with being
cot only an enemy of labor, but a
"grinder" of the worst type. It is hard
to pleturo a man such as Grundy has
been accused of being, encouraging
doffer boys to become superintendents
and managers and permitting them to
share in the profits of his concern to
the extent of becoming more than
comfortably wealthy. The two ac-1
counts are singularly ,at variance.
[EVENING CHAT I
While the fires at the Ford Garage,
(he lilack stone cutting establishment
nnd Kreidler's grocery have made it
seem as though February had an un
usual number of fires, as a matter of
fact It had not nearly as many as Jan
uary. Last month there were no lesrf
than eighteen box alarms and quite a
few telephone calls, a higher number
than usual in the first month of the
year. Jartuary also had the Kaufman
store fire which was one of the worst
the city has suffered for a long time.
Thus far in February there have been
four box alarms and sonic telephone
calls, including one in which damage
to tho amount of several hundred dol
lars was done. The winter's lires have
been rather numerous and the wear
upon the hose great, byt the depart
ment has demonstrated that with mo
tor apparatus and paved streets It has
greater mobility and can do more in
less time.
Speaking of fires, Louis E. Houseal.
assistant foreman of the Citizen com
pany, No. 3, has issued his annual lire
data lor tho city. He has been do
ing this for several years and his in
formation is now used for general in
formation by many people. This year
he states that the department has
twenty-four pieces of apparatus and
that there is over 16,000 feet of hose.
The department lias twenty-six paid
men, fourteen being drivers in the
engine companies. There aa - e forty
lour horses. Lust year there were 95
box alarms, although the number
sounded was 99, this difference being
due to the fact that in four cases boxes
were "pulled" twice. On live occa
sions the fire department was called
upon lo render service out of the city,
once to Millersburg, once to Penbrooi<,
White Hill, Lenioyne and Camp Hill,
tho Lemoyne lire being the largest.
All of these out-of-town calls came
within four months, the first being '.n
August and the last on November 9.
The record shows the State Printery
lire in April to have been the most
troublesome and the Masonic Temple
fires to have been dangerous. The de
partment is shown to have respond
ed to calls all over the city nnd the
alarms were sent in for everything
from hot ashes against a fence to a
leaking ammonia tank and a con
flagration in a city dump.
Mr. Houseal has worked out a tabla
showing that last year January had
fifteen fires and March fourteen.
There was an alarm in every month,
April having four. According to his
summary, Sunday was the day on
which there were the most fires. His
statistics show twenty-three alarms on
the first day of the week with Mon
day and Saturday next with eighteen
each. Friday was the least with live.
The aggregate of tho loss he gives as
$117,878.17, of which $91,454.47 was on
contents. The April loss waa largest
due to the State Printery bla;#. when
the contents loss was over $74,000.
There were fires in seventy-one frame
dwellings and sixty-three brick dwell
ings, a rather closer number than most
people would think. Twenty brick
stores were burned or singed at least.
Among other tires he gives automo
biles and motorcycles, eight; store
awnings, four; telephone poles, one,
and street cars, one. Defective flues
are blamed for twenty-six fires and
carelessness with cigar or cigaret butts
with- nine. Alice and lightning are
blamed for one lire each. There were
twenty false alarms and once a square
meal left on a stove made such a
smoke that neighbors thought a house
was on tire and sent in an alarm. One
of the funniest causes was paper tear
ing loose from a ceiling and falling
on a hot stove. The telephone calls
numbered 137. Tuesday was the fa
vorite day for such alarms and Decem
ber had the most calls.
Roumanian residents of the city are
showing not on.v progress in getting
together and forming organizations,
hut in enlisting the attention of the
outside world. The Roumanians liavea
couple of organizations, one of whieh
is for the promotion of study and read
ing and they have secured some books
from their native land. The Harris
burg Public Library is also co-operat
ing with the Roumanians in getting
books.
In all probability an annual banquet
will be one of the features of the win
ters at the Engineers' Society here
after. The society is growing very'
rapidly and numbers among its mem
bers a number of men prominent in
State, big business and social life. Its
clubhouse has been the meeting place
of distinguished visitors and the pro
position to have an annual dinner is
being seriously considered.
Judge C. R. Witmer, of the United
States Court, who was taken ill a
short time ago and was unable to hold
court here, is improving.
Among visitors to the citv vesterday
was Andrew S. Hourigan, or Wilkes-
Barre, former assistant United States
district attorney. Mr. Hourigan ir;
well known to many Harris burgers
and is taking an active part in the life
of the Luzerne county capital.

1 LETTERS TO-TH E- E PITO R i
EDITORIALS ".Mil, TO THE GOOD"
1 o llit Uriitor of tht Telegraph;
Dear Sir: Your recent editorials in
favor of the conservation of American
wheat to feed tne American people are
"all to the good." They are "all wool
and a yard wlda." They hit the nail
squarely ort the head. There is no
sane reason why the United States
should traffic in "blood money" and
prolong the horrors of the war. in
comparison with which Dante's "in
ferno" and .Milton's "Paradise Lost"
pale Into insignificance. If all the
papers would "follow suit" it is like
ly that there would be "sumpin a
doin' before long." There might be a
repetition of the Boston Tea Party,
but the wheat would not be "pitched
overboard into the harbor" but Into
the stomachs of hungry American
workers. The necessity for and justi
tlcatlon of a New York, Philadelphia
or Baltimore wheat party is one hun
dred times as great as that of the
Colonial Tea Party at Boston. Amer
ican food and clothing for Americans
should be our slogan. For the sake
of our own security and immunity we
should most decidedly refuse to fur
nish "the sinews of war" to any of th<;
belligerents. They, no doubt would
like to draw us into this horrible mael
strom. and would ba diligently second
ed and abetted by the jingoes of the
United States. The only way to main
tain absolute peace with ail the rest
of the world is to "avoid entangling
alliances," deal justly with all man
kind. and above all make it impossible
for any one to declare war unless a
majority of the people (men and wo
men) voted in favor of it. Then com
pel all those who voted for war to go
to the front, "the firing line," and re
main there until they were all killed
or "licked"—or victorious. No substi
tutes should he allowed at any price or
under any circumstances. If they
voted for "hell" let them go to war
—and get it. Many of the jingoes
would think twice before voting. To
prevent war it will be absolutely neces
sary to make public all negotiations
between other nations and our own, so
that they can vole intelligently on the
question. Otherwise the jingoes would

fool them into war like school boys ilo.
They say to Sam Jones. "Bill Smith
says he can lick you." Sam says "he's
a liar, he can't." Then they tell Bill
that Sam called him a liar, and Bill
and Sam fight like Killkenny cats, just
as they are doing in Europe to-day.
"They fraternize and play games" one
minute and murder each other the
no t. because they are fooled and co
erced.
The kaisers, czars, emperors and
kings are also coerced. They are the!
more puppets of "big biz." They are I
the jackals who do the hunting (run
ning down the game) for the lazy
lions, the "vested interests, frenzied
financiers" who have more millions
than they can count or kno'.v what to
do with. The jackals get the bones
(he lions the meat. The workers of
the world furnish both. When they
"unite" there will be no more war or
rumors of war. Tbey will "go cult on
strike" against war. They will say
to each other, "brothers nfhy should
we tight, we have nothing to gain and
everything (even our lives) to lose
by fighting. They will hamstring the
tions and jackals, pull out all their
teeth and compel them to work at
some useful and productive ( instead
of destructive) occupation.
The ".Little Old Appeal" gives a good
cure for the "war fever." Let the
"great and only" T. R.'s well beloved
ideal, "young men who are not only
willing but anxious to fight" go into
their backyards, dig trenches, fill
them with water, and shoot at each
other. Standing in icy water dodging
bullets would effectually dampen their
patriotic ardor and give them enough
good common horse sense to vote
against war. "Let us have peace." A
half century ago we had our "eye
teeth pulled," incidentally discovering
that "war is hell." Our European
brethren are horribly engaged in mak
ing the same discovery. Let us hasten
the end of the war by refusing to "aid
or abet" either side by furnishing food,
clothing or any munitions of war.

THE AMERICAN DISEASE!
Neurasthenia may be called a dis
tinctively American disease because
the condition of the nervous strain that
produces it is more prevalent here than
in any other country. Overwork and!
worry, ambition, haste, the high ten-!
sion at which is conducted, |
all use up the nerve force and producei
neurasthenia, for the disease ii simply
exhaustion and excessive irritability of
the nerve centers.
A tendency to neurasthenia is in
herited by many Americans whose an
cestors had but a small stock of nerv
ous energy to*bequeath. Qrief, exces
sive worry or disappointment in love,
business or school work may cause
neurasthenia.
The symptoms include a feeling of
exhaustion upon rising in the morning,
of disturbed sleep, headache, with a
sense of weight and tightness about
the bead. The patient Is irritable, dif
ficult to please, and suffers from de
pression.
The treatment is to remove the
cause if possible (as when overstudy is
responsible) take abundant rest, spend
ten hours In bad out of every twenty
four. eat as much nourishing food as
possible and take Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to restore the nerves. Send to
day for our free bopklet on "Nervous
Disorders." Address: Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your
