MARCH » SKNTIMFNT .GROWING Governor BRUMBAUGHmakes no idle statement In support of ; his local option views when he j tells members of the I>?sis- I lature that the temperance sentiment ! 1s growing. Prohibition gains since January 1 of the present year have been the most remarkable in the his tory of the temperance movement in the United States and indications are that the anti-liquor sentiment Is grow- In* rapidly the country over. As illustrating this, the research de partment of the Methodist Temper ance Society announces that since the j date named prohibition legislation has been enacted or is in the course o. enactment in no less than nine Stages, which number does not include those that are now considering local option measures. Alabama has passed a prohibition law. to go into effect July 1 o* this year, while Arkansas and Idaho have passed bills making state-wide pro- ! liibition effective January 1, 1916. and j lowa will vote on constitutional pro- . hibition next year. Montana also has j Just decided to submit the question to ; the people at the elections in 191S i nnd North Carolina has gone the limit liy passing a law absolutely forbidding : the sale of Intoxicants in that State. «?ven for personal consumption. The South Carolina legislature is moving along the same lines, but a triflf more slowly, having just decided to submit the quession to the voters 1n November of the present year, and I'tah has also voted to put prohibition up to the people, while in Vermont OR* branch of the legislature has ap proved the proposal to submit a con stitutional prohibition amendment to popular vote. Colorado has enacted laws to enforce prohibition after the first day of 1916 and Minnesota has juat put a local option law into effect. In a large number of other States, Including Pennsylvania and New Jer sey, local option bills are being seri ously debated and in eighteen States prohibition is either now in effect or measures have been passed recently which will be put into effect at early dates. To all appearances public sentiment Is fast carrying the country to a point where national prohibition may be ex pected to develop as an issue in the very near future and those politicians who would frame their courses in compliance to wishes of their con stituents would do well to give this matter the consideration it merits. NO HONORS TOO <;KF:\T PEOPI.E of the I'nited States as one man will endorse the nomi nations of Colonel George \V. Goethals and Brigadier General William C.Gorgas to be Major Generals in the United States Army. Hepublics are not always ungrate ful. Both in a monetary and honor ary way. the government of this coun try thus is paying its respects to these two men who above all others did so much for the successful construction of the Panama Canal. The major-gen eralship which it is proposed to tender to each of them —is the highest honor within the gift of the nation for such services, and the attendant salaries will help to reimburse them for the great sacrifices they have made in the promotion of this gigantic develop ment. Every American may well point with pride to their achievements. One is scarcely to be honored more than the other, for while Colonel Goethals carried to a successful completion the Kigantic undertaking. General Gorgas a-ted as the sanitary pioneer who ■went into the Isthmus in advan'ce of the working forces and made it health ful and habitable. Gorgas overcame the scourge of yellow fever which drove the French from Panama and Gsethals completed the work that French engineers had given up in de spair. NO BETTER—NO HORSE AN exchange comments rather tartly upon the fact that all of those implicated in the dyna mite bomb outrage in St. Pat rick's Cathedral, in New York, were natives of Italy and implies that the Vnited States would be well rid of thousands of Italian immigrant* who in recent years have taken up their habitation here. This is hardly a fair criticism, in view of tile fact that while it is true that all of the conspirators in the case irere Italians, they were brought to TUESDAY EVENING, book and their plots exposed by a de tective also of Italian birth. Beyond doubt there are many bad Italians in America, but the same may also be said of the immigrants of other nationalities. In short, the Italian may be a very, very good citizen, or a very, very bad citizen. it all depends upon respect to the people of any other country. AX IMPORTANT KLKMKXT TIIE management of the National City Bank of New York, In a bulletin issued this week, ex presses the belief that the se sure position in which wc seem to l>o j established ar a creditor nation on current account is the most important j factor in the home situation. Wo have reached the place where. Instead of being concerned lest our securities may Ibe returned too fast, we are beginning to be concerned because they do not come fast enough to keep the ex changes in normal condition. The short foreign loans that are be ing made here are the same as gold in the reserves as protection against any foreign liquidation of our securi ties that may develop as the war pro gresses. The credits of this class that have been given in no sense represent capital withheld from home use, for if they were r.ot taken it would be nec essary that reserves in this country should be correspondingly stronger. They are an outer line of defense which must be passed before a foreign demand can reach our store «f gold, and considering the surplus reserves of the national banks and the reserves and note-issuing power of the Federal Reserve banks, the situation is now so strong that an enforced contraction of credit seems to be beyond the possi bilities. This Is an important element in the business situation of the country and can he regarded as nothing less than ] a guarantee to timid owners and man agers who have been holding back im provements and enlargements through fear of a future of which they were; not certain. THK PUBLICITY RUN THE MOTOR CLUB OF HAR RISBURG is more than a mere pleasure organization. Its "runs" are not all for the demonstra tion of the durability of the various ( makes of cars. Last year it added so- I clabllity to its endurance tests and this year it is to go a step farther and i conduct what it is pleased to call a j "Publicity Run." The plans of those back of the > movement call for a three days" tripj by automobile that will advertise Har risburg throughout the populous dis tricts of Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Harrisburg is more and j more developing Into a great trans-1 portation and shipping center. Many : of the largest firms in the country l are now represented in Harrisburg j not only by forces of traveling men that cover practically the whole State. | but by warehouses In which are kept l constantly on hand large quantities of goods for the-prompt accommodation of customers. It is of interest to these concerns as well as to those that manufacture in Harrisburg to let peo ple of the territory to be covered by the Motor Club run know just what they have to offer in this respect and the quality of their goods. It is proposed to give all of "Ihe business people of Harrisburg and those who maintain brancii house* here, regardless of membership In the Motor Club, opportunity to enter this run. The whole Idea has for its basis the promotion of the business Interests of the community and those who be lieve in advertising and have anything to offer for sale outside the immediate surroundings of Harrisburg and the radius of local newspapers ought to find therein ample opportunity for some very successful advertising. OLD-FASHIONED ARBOR DAY CITY FORESTER HARRY J. MUELLER ought to have the co-operation of the school au thorities in his movement to celebrate the Spring Arbor Day in Harrisburg as it was observed years ago, when boys and girls united to | plant trees about the schoolhouses [and In the public parks. Reservoir Park is shaded to-day by great trees that were planted by boys and girls long since grown to man hood and womanhood and who are proud to point out to their own chil dren the part they thus took in help ing make the city beautiful. Trees are one of the most valuable assets that any city can have. They make both for beauty and for health. No street is so bare and desolate as that without trees; none so shabby but that trees make it a better, n-.ore attractive place in which to live. Any movement that has for its purpose the preservation of the trees the city now has or the planting of young ones ought to be encouraged and the School Board has it within its power to help Mr. Mueller make a great success of this, his first undertaking as city for ester. THE REV. DR. XORCROSS PEOPLE of all denominations, but those of the Presbyterian Church especially, will mourn sincerely the death of the Rev. Dr. George Norcross. former pastor of jhe Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle, at Carlisle yesterday. Dr. Norcross was not only a distinguished churchman and a scholarly minister, but he was a pastor in the best sense of the word. He was a man of lovable character, a writer of ability and a Bible student of wide reputation. The Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania lost one of its most distinguished members in his death, but the work that he did will live after him and Jiis memory' will be cherished by a large circle of friends. AX EYEXIXG THOUGHT The time is short: then be thy heart a brother's To every heart that needs thy love in aught; .Soon thou ma.vest need the sym pathy of others; The time, The time is short. —Hezeklah Butterworth. 1 EVENING CHAT"! j i MtUK-l-lIU SIIOWtHII Hi.Slip pearliiK »i> rapidly that probablv lh« ! average person docs not realize that it was the heaviest fall of the winter ill this section and that If it had occur red sixty days ago It would have madu first-class sleighing. The Tali about here was anywhere from eleven to fif teen inches, with a report of .sixteen inches from a place in l'erry county. Oauphin had about a foot." This is 'unusual even for March snows. Usually it hey are six inches or thereabouts and j disappear very quickly. In speaking ;about the snowfall, a man who keeps ; pretty close tabs on the weather and , its domgs says that the fall between .this city and Philadelphia was as great as the whole fall of snow in the great blizzard of ISSS and greater than in some other historic storms. However, the snow was of a different quality and as there wa4 little or no wind to drive it about there was little dauger of It becoming troublesome. The greatest gainers from the snow will be the farmers at it will help distribute ferti lizer and moisten the soil. Incidentally. I the snow and the accompanying cold [ weather checked the rise of the sap ?n the trees and may be the means of preventing much damage to buds and even to Spring flowers which became very ambitious under the influence of the warm days a short time ago. Speaking of the snow fall it is of in terest to note that the average snow shoveller in Harrisburg believes that the early caller gets the job. Whether there was much competition for the work because of so many idle people °. r because folks were imbued with an idea that pavements should l»e cleaned early the men and boys who invaded Front and Second streets seemed to select 5 a. in. as the time tor starting operations. Some homes were disturbed before daylight by people wanting to shovel snow. Miss Jessie Bowers, instructor in l-atin and Greek at the Centra! high school, will shortly give a talk at the school on her trip to Europe last J f ar - ■ It is being looked forward to with much interest as Miss Bowers was forced to return to this country by the outbreak of the war and had some lively experiences. More books have been added and more books ordered for the Harris, burg Public Library in the last thirty dajs than in any period in the history of the Library. Many of.these books are lor children, including a number of a distinctively educational value, for which there has been an unprece dented demand. Others are popular books and replacements of books which have been worn out in the han dling Just as an instance of the way the circulation is going at the Library there were 9,969 books circulated in February, of which 3.144 were taken out by children. This is about the same record on total as last February, but the number of children's books is far ahead of that list a year ago. Another interesting thing regard ing the Library is that last month there were 329 reference questions answered. As illustrating the growth of this feature of library activity it may he stated that in February of last year only 126 were -answered. Some days as high as forty questions are answered. Some of them require con siderable search, but every answer is backed up by references. Several quer ies last month were from business men who used the telephone to get infor mation and a large number about the countries at war. Students use the reference desk the most of any class. Passengers on iiHomins trains Sun day afternoon and early yesterday morning commented on the beauties of the mountain landscapes . north and west of Harrisburg. The boughs of the trees hung heavy with snowy garlands and every trailing vine was a frosty festoon. The hillsides looked like vistas of fairyland. It has been many years since March weather has pro duced anything to match it. The people of Sunbur.v are going to get a new bridge over Shamokln creek, if the report of the State view ers to be filed this week is approved. And what is more it is to be moved to a site a full square nearer the heart of town than the old bridge that was washed away by the flood of last Janu ary and it will cost the taxpayers at least a thousand dollars less than if It were erected where the old one stood. It is one of those rare instances where the people will be better served and money saved at one and the same ! time. Not all of the letters received by |Governor Brumbaugh are complimen tary of his attitude on local option. In ■ faf-t. he has deceived some which are i critical and even denunciator*-. On« Iman wrote him a letter in which he took him to task and in a spirit of "dare" suggested that he give it pub licity. The Governor took him up and gave out the letter to the newspaper men. | Francis H.
