THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 4.
FA RE WEED, CONGRESS
~' | il-IE Sixty-third Congress Is
I passing," says a dispatch
X from Washington.
By all means, let it pass.
Far be it from us to put anything in
its way. Fact of the matter is, we
believe most people would be willing
to give 'cr a push, if it were necessary.
The Democratic administration is
out to-day with a column article re
lating the accomplishments of the ses
sion. Actually one might inter there
from that those who liavo Veen re
sponsible for the long-drawn agony
that has passed for a continuous con
gressional session for tho last two
years are actually proud of the things
they have perpetrated upon a suffer
ing public.
However, there is a noticeable ab
sence of anything referring to the
frightful condition into which the
Democrats have plunged the indus
tries, the business people and the
working people of tho country. They
are still blaming those terrible Repub
licans who preceded them in office and
the European war. Likewise there is a
deep silence with relation to the pork
barrel extravagance that has turned
a big surplus Into a deficit in the na
tional treasury and the necessity of
raising revenues by a "war tax" to
meet the heaviest expenditures in "the
history of the United States, imposed
by an administration pledged to econ
omy. One looks in vain, also, for some
fulfillment of the principal plank in
the platform upon which Woodrow
Wilson and his colleague were elected,
that which solemnly promised a re
duction in the high cost of living.
And so, in bidding good-by to Con
gross to-day. we do so in the words of
Joseph Addison, who makes one of his
characters say under somewhat similar
sad circumstances:
"Once more farewell!
If e'er we meet hereafter, we shall
meet
in happier climes and on a safer
shore."
.Tack Johnson may find it impossible
to again "bring home the bacon." Con
gress, it appears, has run away with
the entire pork barrel.
Even in a lean year Harrisburg
banks were able to do $82,000,000 worth
of business —which would have seemed j
pretty big not so very many years back, <
- even when tlie city felt more prosperous
than it does to-day.
CAPITAL AND LABOR
ONE of those who heard Magnus
Alexander address the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce the
other day on workmen's com
pensation leaned over to a friend dur
ing the course of Mr. Alexander's
speech and said: "He talks like a
labor union leader." Yet nothing could
be farther from Mr. Alexander's call
ing—he being a representative of one
of tho biggest of very big businesses;
In short, social welfare manager for
tho General Electric Company. It.
was not that the speaker was intent
on voicing the sentiments of labor that
gave rise to tho remark quoted, but
that labor leaders and industrial lead
ers have come to think as one on many
subjects affecting both employer and
employe.
Something like a quarter of a cen
tury ago a number of manufacturing
concerns in Germany, subsidized by a
paternal government. Introduced Im
proved methods of lighting, heating
and keeping clean their work rooms,
and Installed lunch rooms, rest rooms
and emergency hospitals. Houses at
low rental, parks, playgrounds, lec
tures and industrial insurance were
subsequently added. These were call
ed Wohlfnhrts-Einrichtungen, or "wel
fare stations."
Since then America, as well as Ger
many*. has learned that the promo
tion of the physical, the moral and the
mental welfare of employes and their
families is actually a matter of protit
to tho employer.
Tf tho workman Is regarded and
treated as an automaton, poor quality
work, ill-will, disagreements and
strikes will follow, all of them entail
ing far more expense than the main
taining of effective welfare depart
ments. It has been found if the work
man is treated as a fellow worker by
the employer he will to con
duct himself as such, and by interest
In his occupation there results im
provement in workmanship, greater
celerity and a consequent increase of
production.
This is the theory upon which Mr.
Alexander and others of his craft base
their work and mayhups at times he
THURSDAY EVENING.
"talks like a labor union leader" be
cause experience has taught him that
what is genuinely and permanently of
benefit to labor is proportionately
beneficial to capital.
"In all the necessaries of life there
Is not a greater plague than servants,"
said Colley Ctbber in 1709. Thus prov
ing that the hired girl problem Is no
mere modern Invention to try the soul
of man.
EMINATING FROM HAKIMS BURG
FEW people not in very close touch
with local industrial conditions
appreciate the influences that
radiate to all points of the com
pass from Harrisburg. The Practical
Magazine of Efficient Management, a
much studied authority on that sub
ject, gives credit to the Elllott-Flsher
Company for exercising a tremendous
influence upon the mercantile ac
counting of the entire world. Dis
cussing the subject of bookkeeping by
machinery, the magazine mentioned
says:
It is probably true that Elliot-
Fisher Is entitled to more credit for
the missionary work of developing
machine methods for bookkeeping
than any other Influence. Of
course, adding machines were in
vise, but not for the purpose of
keeping a complete set of books
and office records. The addition
of registers to the Ellitt-Fisher,
together with the consummated
skill of the company in devising
systems and forms, marks an epoch
in the business world which will
be recognized more fully in the fu
ture.
Right here at our doors has been de
veloped an industry that Is fast dis
placing the bent back bookkeeper on
Ills three-legged stool for the alert
operator of a machine that does In a
half day what a half dozen or more
men required formely a whole day to
do. And, what is mOre, the machine
kept ledger comes down to the end of
the month with all of its items and its
balances mathematically correct and
readily proved. The effect of this has
not been to throw out of work a large
number of bcokkeepers and their as
sistants, as might appear, but to en
able their employers to turn the salar
ies of this force from a mere over
head charge into payment for really
productive work. The bookkeeper is
never a producer save in a relative
sense and in exceptional instances, and
in most cases his work is regarded as
a necessary evil. Reducing the num
ber of,the accounting force and add
ing this number of employes to Die
producing part of the business, not
only cuts down overhead expenses, but
adds materially to the profits. So it
may bo readily seen what a great
work is being done at the Elliott-
Fisher plant for the promotion of eco
nomical principles throughout the
whole business world; for the product
of this factory is sold not only In
America but wherever up-to-date busi
ness principles have weight wltn
manufacturers and managers of mer-1
cantile establishments the world
around.
PEOPLE WITH THE GOVERNOR
IT was not necessary for Governor
Brumbaugh to remark late yester
day that he was satisfied that the
people of Pennsylvania are with
him in his local option fight. The ac
tion of mass meetings, of churches, of
organizations for social advancement
and civic betterment, the numerous
telegrams and letters being received
at the Capitol endorsing the Gover
nor's stand indicate the way public
opinion is going.
As the Telegraph has pointed out,
local option is bound to come, and j
Pennsylvania, the leader In so many
things, ought to be found in the front
rank of all movements for temperance.
It would mean so much for her pro
ductive capacity, to say nothing of
improvement of moral conditions.
People are commencing to realize this.
They see that Governor Brumbaugh
has taken the right stand.
Tho Governor considers that he was
'elected to do things, and as he is given
j strength he proposes to do them.
The people of Pennsylvania are vitally
concerned in the outcome of the local
option fight and they are lining up be
hind the Governor.
What's the use of being a Mexican
General when you can't get your name
on the front pages of the newspapers?
Curses on those Europeans.
A GOOD LAW
THERE are those who have doubt
ed the efficiency of the Harrison
act passed by Congress and put
Into operation on Monday, hav
ing for its object tho suppression of
general traffic in habit-forming drugs.
How groundless were their fears is
shown by the following from tho
Evening Ledger, of Philadelphia, set
ting forth the operations of the new
statute in that city:
Thirteen men and two women,
driven to seek a cure for the drug
habit by the enforcement of tho
Harrison drug act which cut ol'f
their supply of cocaine and heroin,
found their way during the night
to tho new drug ward, opened Mon- I
<lav to care for such cases. To- |
day there are twenty-eight men
and two women in the drug ward,
tlie largest number ever assembled
to take a drug cure at a Philadel
phia hospital. Most of the victims
were sent to Bloekley by Lieuten
ant Smiley, of the Eleventh and
Winter streets station, in the heart
of the Tenderloin and the haven of
the drug users. Since tho drug
prohibition went on they have gone
to the police station in a state of
pitiable nervousness anil begged to
be sent to tho cure, a part of which
Is the administration of diminisli-
of cocaine. Tlie .sud
den stoppage of the supply of drugs
would be. fatal to many of the
habitual "eokers" in the Tenderloin
they say. During the earlv even
ing five mon and a woman called at
the Eleventh ami "Winter streets
station to ask to be allowed to tako
the cure.
Does this not show conclusively
that the law was not only needed but
that it can be effectively enforced?
Also, the manner In which the na
tional government Is driving the
"dope" dealer out of business Is a
pretty strong argument against the
time-worn theory that prohibition does
not prohibit.
There are rumors that somebody is
going to build a hotel in Harrisburg,
but they've got to produce something
more than wash drawings and blue
prints to convince tho people.
Recent occurrences in New York
leads the thoughtful readfcr to con
clude that all metropolitan police cap
tains are not Beckers.
["EVENING CHAT i
Bishop W. M. Fouke was in Harris
burg yesterday on his way from at
tending the sessions of the East Penn
sylvania conference of the United
Evangelical Church at Bethlehem, over
which he presided during the past ten
days, "The conference was one of the
best and pleasantest I ever attended."
said he. "Indeed the past year has
been ono of exceptional growth and
prosperity for the entire United Evan
gelical church the country over. I
have been in all parts of the United
States during the past year, visiting
our congregations and I find a splen
did spirit everywhere existing." Bishop
Fouke was for many years a resident
of Harrisburg when he was editor of
Sunday school and young people's
literature in connection with the Evan
gelical Publishing House here. Mrs.
Fouke, who has since died, was the
founder of the "Missionary Gem," a
I Juvenile publication printed here that
has a nation-wide circulation. Bishop
Rudolph Dubs was to have presided
oyer the Bethlehem conference but
his critical illness prevented and there
now stands by his bedside a huso bou
quet of roses as a tribute to the lov
ing kindness with which he is regard
ed by the ministers of the confer
ence."
A good story is going the rounds of
the legislators and it is called "The
Statesman's Dream." It appears that
this legislator introduced a bill and
one day soon after he was telling a
friend that the had dreamed lie had
made "a great speech and that the law
makers and the spectators had cheer
ed him and (he chamber passed the
bill unanimously. "It was great and
I have been feeling fin* over it," said
he.
The next day the committee in
charge killed the bill.
Congressman-elect Bayles, of tho
York-Adams district, was among the
visitors to the State Capitol yesterday.
He called upon Governor Brumbaugh
and State officials.
The warm days this Spring have
been having their effect upon the trees
in tho city parks and some of them
have budded so much that fears are
entertained for what may happen in
the event of a severe frost. The trees
have attracted much attention because
of the condition of the buds and as
many recall the hard freezes that have
occurred in March the weather condi
tions will be closely watched.
Harrisburg's clean streets have at
tracted the attention of a number of
legislators and they generally com
ment upon them. A day or so ago one
of the Philadelphia members called to
: tho notice of an up-state man the
clean streets, saying even the Quaker
| City had to go some to meet the Har
risburg standard.
"Oh, streets!" said the up-stater. "I
was saying to one pf the Pittsburgh
ers that while we may call Harrisburg
a small town, it's got the rest, of the
state's cities frazzled on street im
provements and keeping highways
clean. The folks here ought to see
streets in some other places before
they kick on temporary out-of-fixed
ness."
The Journal of the Engineers' So
ciety of Pennsylvania has made its
appearance in a brand new color of
striking design. It is gold and black,
the black being a keystone. The Jan
uary and February numbers are con
solidated and there is an attractive
heading, while the Issue contains an
interesting statement on the purposes
of tho organization by ejc-President
John Price Jackson, while there are
attractive views of the clubhouse and
a statement by President Farley Gan- i
nejt. In every way the Journal is
interesting and in keeping with the
work of the society and its position
in the State.
Three legislators from third class
cities met at the f'apitol last night.
Each had an idea for a change in the
present law. Finally after a discus
sion one said ho had found a solution.
"What is it?'' asked the other solons.
"I'm going to have Jim Moore draft
a bill," he replied, "and it will pro
hibit changing third class city laws at
all until 101!). Maybe that combi
nation will bring luck. Nothing else
has."
How carefully tho foreign-born resi
dents of Steelton read the Harrisburg
newspapers and what a high value
they place upon their views, is shown
in .Saturday's Zajedniear. the official
publication of the National Croatian
Society. The Zajednicar prints a
translation of an article appearing in
the Telegraph February 10, concern
ing an Incident attending the celebra
tion of the twentieth anniversary of
the St. Lawrence Society, of Steeiton.
The editor of the Zajednicar—which,
by the way, has a circulation of some
30,000 copies—comments on the Tele
graph's article and pays a tribute to
the fairness with which the incident
was reported.

HUMES FiUS DM
IS IN HER
Efforts of Western Pennsylvania
Democrat to Form a Legisla
tive Machine a Failure
SOMEONE ELSE WILL TRY IT
State Chairman Morris Worried
Over the Outlook; Post Office
Appointment Rows
Just se_ven of the forty-one Demo
cratic members of the House of Rep
resentatives foregathered with E.
Lowry Humes, United States district
attorney for the western district of
Pennsylvania, this week when he_ ar
ranged a meeting to furnish the
Democratic State organization with a
legislative program. Fourteen are
said to have been urgently invited to
attend the meeting, but only seven
appeared. Humes has been here off
and on since t£e session started and
because of his experience last session
was picked out by the leaders the
man to attempt a galvanization of the
Democratic machine.
—For weeks there has been dissatis
faction manifested over the failure of
the Democrats in the legislature to
make themselves felt and this has
been added to the troubles piled on
the plate of Democratic State Chair
man Roland S. Morris and National
Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer be
cause of the manner in which they
have been tilling post offices, especially
in the western part of the State. Mor
ris is said to have desired to get some
action in the legislature to remove
the cause of criticism, to stir up in
terest so that he could pass the hat
more successfully for the payment of
the interest-bearing debts of the last
campaign and to furnish some cam
paign thunder.
—The selection of Humes was un
fortunate. lie was unpopular with
some of the Democrats last session be
cause of his constant desire to stay in
the limelight and this session he was
not only without influence because he
was not a member and had few real
friends but had the handicap of being
the appointee to a well-paying office.
—According to the story told here,
Humes was so chugrined at his failure
to round up more than seven members
at a hotel near the Capitol that he
did not unfold his legislative program
and went home without calling *up
Morris at Philadelphia. Whether he
will come here or not is unknown, but
the leaders are determined to make
some noise, and they may pick a more
successful manager. It is presumed
that the Democrats will try to make
charitable appropriations their cause
of complaint.
—Among visitors to the city yes
terday was ex-Senator Donald P. Mc-
Pherson, of Gettysburg, who was
prominent in legislative affairs six or
eight years ago. The Senator takes
an active interest in public affairs and
is considered by many as the most
available candidate for judge in his
district this Fall.
—Revenue Collector Fritz Kirken
dall designated Scranton as his
revenue district capital, although he
lives in Wilkes-Barre. Ben Davis will
keep his headquarters at Lancaster.
—Friends of Warren VanDyke are
wondering how he is to be rewarded
for the part he took in the last cam
paign. They expected he would be
named to the place bevond a doubt.
No explanation of the Davis appoint
ment has been made.
—The appointment of W. A. Mc-
Adoo as postmaster at Kittaning is
another illustiatlon of tile ability of
noisemakers to get something from
the Democratic bosses. McAdoo has
been a noisy reorganizer and for years
bucked everyone that coiild not give
him anything.
—-Trouble lias started In the Demo
cratic machine in Washington county
over the appointment of the post
master for Washington and other
places announced yesterday. It is said
that some protests will be made.
—With to-night A. Mitchell Pal
mer's term as Congressman ends and
while he will remain as national com
mitteeman. some profess to see the be
ginning of his end as distributor of
patronage in Pennsylvania.
—The Prohibition State committee's
bill for district prohibition Instead of
local option is due to be presented in
the House next week and it is said
that Representative Don Gingery, of
Clearfield county, will be asked to in
troduce it. The bill Is somewhat dif
ferent from the prohibition bills which
the committee has sponsored in re
cent years in that it will provide a
means for the voter to say whether a
ward or a township shall be dry. The
idea is to have a line printed ut the
bottom of each ballot for expression
of opinion whether the voter is in fa
vor of prohibition. No provision is
made for a change in case a district
once goes "wet." It stays that way.
The general plan is for the line to be
printed on ballots every two years.
