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.

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

first meeting of the "Pants Club," a
new woman suffrage organization, was
being held, it was later learned, vivaci

and waistcoat. Not only that, but sev
eral of the members of the club had
cone so far as to purloin their male
relatives' best boiled shirt. To qualify
for membership in tiie "Pants Club" ap
plicants must promise to wear men's
clothing to all business and social meet - I
ings. Some of the girls are said to
prefer the knee pants of their smaller I
brothers, feeling that in this way thev
will adhere more closely to the letter
of their promise to wear "pants" and
in addition detract not a whit from
