TWO AUTOMOBILE SHOWS
TIME was. and not so long ago at
that, when it would have been
difficult to hold even a small
automobile show in Harrisburg.
To-day two large exhibitions of motor
cars of all kinds and their accessories
will throw open their doors to a pub
lic that has been waiting impatiently
for some weeks for an opportunity of
seeing the very latest things in auto
mobiles.
These two shows reflect the growth
of popular interest in motor-driven
vehicles as perhaps could be demon
strated in no other way. That the au
tomobile business has come to stay
and that the power vehicle has met a
popular want is very well illustrated
by the fact that during 1914. when
almost every other line of business was
cither prostrate or at best displaying
no more than feeble activity, the auto
mobile trade was the greatest in the
history of the world. Almost every
lirm of established reputation manu
factured and sold more cars than ever
before and not a few new makes were
successfully launched, while the few
failures reported could be attributed
to bad business methods rather than
to a lack of orders.
Whether you will buy an automobile
this year or not. do not fail to go to
the automobile shows. If you do in
tend to purchase a car some time dur
ing the coming season go prepared to
place your order now. This is the
time to buy whatever you design to
buy this year. If you keep the money
you intend to spend stuck away in a
bank it will do business no good. If
you are going to spend it, put it into
circulation now. The business of the
country would be vastly improved if
everybody did that, and it applies to
automobiles quite as much as to any
other line.
In the end. chances are. you will be
the owner of an automobile. The
time is fast coming when those in very
moderate circumstances will be able to
enjoy the pleasures of automobile driv
ing. The most marked development
of the past year has been the
steady decline in prices of standard
makes and the equally steady improve
ment in quality. It is possible to-day
to purchase for a thousand dollars a
car in every way superior to the ma
chine that sold for five times that
amount five years ago, ar.d the end
is not yet here either in the matter of
improvements or in lower prices.
The automobile holds an attraction
that few can resist. It is a poorly in
formed man indeed who cannot dis
tinguishthedifferent makes at a glance
or who does not know something
of the mechanism of the car his neigh
bor drives. The automobile shows are
places of entertainment and of useful
information and they doubtless will i
be as largely attended as they deserve J
to be.

DEMOCRATIC YALE
THOSE who have been regretting
the decline of democracy in the
big universities will be glad to
note that Henry Wang. Xingpo,
China, has been awarded the Ten
Eyck prize for speaking at Tale
ugainst able competitors, including a
eon of the principal of the University.
This is a tribute to the broad and lib
eral spirit that prevails at Tale, where
a youth can come unknown from the
far away Orient and be permitted to
carry off by sheer merit one of Its
most coveted honors.
"Pull" may help in the big colleges,
but success is based on something bet
ter. It is a fine thing to know that
the spirit of democracy, so far from
being dead. Is alive to the extent that
It outweighs all other considerations
• n the affairs of that great educational
Institution, Fathers may well trust
their sons to such schools as this, con
fident that they will be taught no
triolu of snobbery, but will be trained
up along the lines of the best tradi
tions the eeuntry knows.
PLAWT SOMETHING
PLANT something. The Telegraph
has advised that on many pre-1
vious occasions, but it is well
worth repeating. Plant aome
tuiag, and be sure that the yield will
help reduce your grocery bills next
♦summer and do its part in keeping
down the growing high cost of living.

SATURDAY EVENING. tJARFUSBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 13, 1915.
J 'lions upon millions of fertile acres that
I in years past have provided amply
t for the communities they ordinar
-3 ily supply are lying idle. Whole arm
ies of workmen have been withdrawn
from the farms. The wheat crops, the
potato crops, the fruit crops and all
sorts of vegetables must suffer, where
they are not entirely wiped out..
Nevertheless, the people who have
been accustomed to deriving their food
supplies therefrom must eat, and they
are looking towards the farms of
America to meet the deficiency at
• home. This means that more than
I ever before the I'niletl States will be
called upon to export provisions, and
„ it also means decreased fomi supplies
. in the United States, with the extreme
t likelihood of consequently higher
• prices. Therefore, more than ever be
fore it becomes the duty of Americans
" to see to it that the ground they own
*ior control shall yield Its maximum
1 during the coming summer and that
. ,'as little as possible of it shall lie idle
j at a time when the whole world is cry
■ ling for what it might be made to pro
t jduce.
i j There should be no idle lots in the
! towns and cities of the United States
• I this year: no fallow fields by the road
• I side. Back yards by the millions are
'eyesores to the communities that
i might be transformed into places of
beauty and at the same time made to
help handsomely towards the family
dinner table.
The Christian Science Monitor has
suggested the organization of an army
of American men. women and children
for the promotion of backyard garden
, ing and points out that if everybody
enlists and does his part, small or
larg-e. there will be no cry for bread
throughout the wide earth this year
or next to which the people of the
United States cannot promptly and
generously respond.

A RIVERSIDE BOATHOUSE
• ' VER since it was finally decided
5 1-4 that the "Hardscrabble" district
. 1 i was to be taken over by the city,
necessitating the abolition of the
■ boathouses along that strip of the
river bank, it has been realised that
the city must take some step toward
providing facilities for the boat own
ers of Harrisburg. The river is dotted
during summer weather by myriads of
rowboats. canoes, power boats and
sailboats, and with the completion of
the dam at the lower end of the city it
is only reasonable to suppose that
there will result a great impetus in
. water sports of all kinds.
City Commissioner Bowman is there
fore not a minute in advance of the
times with his proposal to lay before
Council plans for the construction of
a boathouse along Front street near
the central portion of the city.
Mr. Bowman's idea, as-set forth by
the Telegraph yesterday, offers prob
ably the very best solution of the
problem. His plan is to concentrate
all of the boat storage of the city in
one municipally-owned boathouse so
located that it will be not unreason
ably distant from any section of town;
charging for storage, etc.. Just suf
ficient to cover the interest and sink
ing fund of the investment. This
would give the boat lovers of the city
what they never have had. a modern,
well-constructed boathouse, amply
commodious for all purposes, and
which could be fitted for use as a
meeting place for boat clubs, swim
ming clubs and the like.
Possibly some problems will arise
in connection with this development
that may need the further consid
eration of councilmen, but on the sur
face the plan appears to be the most
feasible that has been offefed, and
Council should give it the prompt and
serious consideration that it deserves.
KEEPING WAGES UP
NEVER in the history of the
United States have the industries
of the country been so ham
pered and handicapped as dur
ing the past year. Times have been
excessively dull. Some mills have been
closed entirely, others have been
forced to reduce working forces and
in not a few instances profits have
, been cut almost to the finishing point.
Tet in no instance worthy of mention
has there been a disposition to reduce
wages. Few greater tributes could be ;
paid to American manufacturers than
this, that they have maintained the I
wage standard of prosperous times
throughout a period of unexampled
adversity.
j Manufacturers have been willing to
j forego profits and dividends for a time j
j for the sake of maintaining their or- !
ganization intact and preserving the ;
wage scale they have been accustomed |
to pay at a time when reductions j
would have been excusable and would i
have been comparatively easy to make j
because of the large number of men '
willing to accept work at any price.
Friends of free trade have scoffed at
the assertions of leading business men ;
who based their plea for a protective !
tariff on the fact that they desired to !
pay wages as generous as industrial
conditions would permit, but their atti- j
tude during the present depression Is ,
such as to lead to the conclusion that 1
they were sincere.
WILLIAM BHER)U\ STEELE
THE death of William Sherman !
Steele, principal of the Central
High School, removes from the
educational circles of Harris
burg and the State at large one of '
the moat popular and efficient school f
executives that the Commonwealth has j
ever known,
Professor Steele was not only be
loved of his pupils, but by all with j
whom he came in contact, He did a
splendid work at the Central High
School under conditions that would !
have doomed to failure the efforts of a ;
less resourceful or determined man. |
Doubtless overwork, through endeavor
ing to keep the school up to standard ;
under a handicap that made efficient
work impossible, had much to do with
precipitating the illness that resulted I
on Wednesday In his death.
Not only will he be missed in Har- I
risburg, but at the Pennsylvania Chau- j
tauqua in Mount Gretna, of which he !
was the chancellor, and in the State
Educational Association, of which he
was a prominent and active member.
:1 I EVENING CHAfI
• »»w »ui«»Uvi|«lHa r. > cm.iK tMI lift in
n in an article last night made this in
e teresting reference to the proposed de
veiopment of the conservation activl
ties of the State government: "Gov
e ernor Brumbaugh's indorsement of
the proposal to consolidate the four
departments which now separately su
pervise and control the game, water
d supply, fish and forestry interests of
y the State, Is in line with a much
c | needed reorganization of some of the
j existing departments, bureaus an.l
commissions. The four departments
ill named are actively concerned with the
e j conservation of the natural resources
• of the State, and in fact the new de
apartment, into which they would be
s combined, is to be known as the De
s partment of Conservation. But outside
r of facilitating the administration of this
I branch of the State's activities, the new
".measure does not blaze a new path in
' I 'he protection of the resources of th-v
j i Commonwealth. For Pennsylvania
■ has always been to the fore in con
servation work, especially as regards
t forestry. it was a Pennsyh anian,
e! Richard Haldeman, who in April. |
. 1872, presented the first forestry bill i
|ln Congress, "to encourage the plant- I
ing of trees and for the preservation
I of woods on the public domain." About
e jthis period. Washington Towosend,
, I who represented Chester and Delu-1
. ware counties in Congress, took up the
1 plea for the preservation of the trees.
t! The attention of the public had been
, aroused. and Townscnd and his col
leagues succeeded in obtaining the
consent of Congress to authorize I)r.
> I Franklin B. Hough to undertake spc
i 'clal studies of forestry abroad, which
j reports when rendered did much to
promote the interest of conservation.
B ' In 1886 the Pennsylvania Forestry As
i jsociation, formed through the efforts
1 of Philadelphians, was launched upon
jits career to back up the work of the
" State officials engaged in promoting
'"jthe cause of conservation, and the way
r j was paved for the regulatory legisla
. i tion which soon followed. Within
I seven years the Legislature adopted an
'' act creating a Forestry Commission,
t and forestry in Pennsylvania may be
j said to date from 1893. Subsequently
the commission became a division of
| forestry in the Department of Agricul
ture and later emerged as a separate
j department of the State government."
j The Mr. Haldeman referred to was
1 Richard J. Haldeman, who served sev
t eral times in Congress and was a noted
editor.
s 'When Governor Brumbaugh goes
, j to Newport News on Monday night to
. attend the launching of the warship
Pennsylvania he will be the first Gov-
I ernor in many years to attend an ofii
. cial function without a personal staff
I of aides de camp. Officially such a
thing as a Governor's personal staff
does not exist, as the commissions of
1 the dozen lieutenant-colonels who
f were aids to John K. Tener expired
when Dr. Brumbaugh became Gov
ernor. The new Governor has not had
' time to consider the appointments to
i the staff, although the subject has
i been brougnt to his attention by let- '
: ters and individuals. The Governor
has been occupied with legislation and
' . the seeing of the unprecedented num
. ber of visitors who have thronged his
, ! part of the Capitol from the day he I
assumed his chair. The swarm of vis
itors like the shower of mall has set I
i a new record. While the Governor j
■ j will not be attended by the aids who
have graced similar functions in the I
J past, the official party will contain
■ Adjutant General Stewart, the chief of !
■ j staff, and the heads of the depart
, ments of the permanent staff of the
National Guard. These will accompany
> State officials. In all probability the
Governor will name a personal "staff,
but it will not be for some time.
Bills introduced into the House haVe
passed the 900 mark, but they are 400 I
, behind the number presented to this
time last session, while the number in
the Senate is about 150 less than at
1 j the end of the second week of March.
] Less than 500 bills have been pre
| sented to the Senate. However, the
three codes and other big legislation
have required a large amount of print
ing thus far.
The death at Collegeville yesterday
of John M. Vandersllce, a veteran of
the Civil War, well known here, leaves !
1 very few of the department command
| ers of the Grand Army of the Re
j public living. Mr. Vanderslice filled
the place a number of years aso and
attended many functions here in his
time.
Dr. William S. Steele, who died at,
I.akewood a few days ago. was one of
the keenest observers of events in the
life of Harrisburg and took a great <
interest in civic movements. There |
i was scarcely a municipal question that I
the high school principal could not!
discuss with as much skill as a council- I
man and he was an ardent admirer
of the manner in which Harrisburg I
progressed. "S\ hen he came here the '
city was commencing to show the re- |
suits of the first improvement cam- !
Paign and Dr. Steele used to refer to it
In lectures. At the Harrisburg Public I
Library he took an active part in the
management and his aid and counsel
were greatly appreciated.

months before any nominations are i

An amusing story is told of one mari i

PLEDGES IN STATE
PLATFORM STAND
McNichol and Vare Make State
ments That Promised Legisla
tion Must Be Enacted
NO FIGHT ON ADJOURNMENT
Senators Say That If the Legisla
ture Can Get Through Earlier
So Much Better
Speaking in Philadelphia yes
terday, Senators McNichol and
Vare declared themselves favor
u*tl<- t<> the redemption of the Re
publican platform pledges. Their
comments were rtgaitied as un
usually rignifirant, in view of the
reports in political circles that
Governor Brumbaugh is planning
a call for an extra session should
the present Legislature fail to re
deem the party pledges. The
House lias already set May 6 as
the date for final business and the
resolution to that effect now
awaits the pleasure of the Senate.
"The platform legislation must
bo enacted before adjournment,"
declared Senator McNichol.
"I think that the time fixed by
the Mouse is about the right time
for adjournment, provided the
Governor's legislation has all been
acted upon by that time." stated
Senator Vare. "In fact. I would
be willing to sec the Legislature
quit even earlier, provided we can
get through with our business. In
order that this may be accom
plished, I believe we ought to stay
in Harrisburg at least five days a
week if necessary to clean up the
work. As far as I am concerned,
I am going to use my best efforts
to expedite the important legis
lation."
—Philadelphia members of the
Legislature are learning that the Com
mittee of One Hundred and other or
ganizations working for the Williams
local option bill are on the job. The
first instalment of the 150,000 cards
sent out to voters began to fdter into
the legislators to-day, with the pros
pect that they would be followed up
by many voters in person. George G.
Dowey, chairman of the general com
mittee. declared' that posters "vividly
portraying the horrors of the drink
evil'? would be placed in and about
many industrial plants. Dr. Dowey
said some employers had consented to
enclose small circulars in the pay en
velopes. The circulars which the
workmen at the big industrial plants
will get assert that 95 per cent, more
accidents befall workmen who drink
tkan occur to total abstainers. An
other contrasts the cost of government
in Greene county, which is "dry," and
Rlk county, which is "wet." The cost
to Greene county per voter is placed at
47 cents, as against Elk's $ 1.54.
—The Pennsylvania Sabbath School
Association, it was declared to-day,
has completed plans for uniting all the
Protestant Sunday schools in the State
in a demand that the local option bill
be passed.
"There is no occasion for excitement
about this case and no earthly excuse
for attempting to make a sensation out
of a regular and orderly procedure,"
said ex-Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer to-day in explaining his con
ference with President Wilson follow
ing which a respite was issued to the
convicted officials of the International
Lumber Company a few days ago.
—Judge Robert K. Umbel, who has
agreed to retire from the Fayette
county bench in 1917, will not resign
before then, according to a statement
he made last night in comment on
the report that Representative Stern,
of Philadelphia, has prepared an im
peachment petition to be presented to
the Legislature next week. In his for
mal statement the judge says: "In
view of the threat to make the Fayette
county situation the subject of "fur
ther legislative investigation and to
avoid any misconstruction which
might be placed on what I would now
say. 1 have decided to make no state
ment until the Legislature indicates its
intention, adding that I will not resign
before 1917, and I confidently believe
that, in view of the fact that my resig
nation at that time will avoid one
judicial contest, my agreement to do
so has practically the unanimous en
dorsement of the people of this
judicial district."
—John J. Green. Democratic candi
date for Secretary of Internal Affairs
some years ago and a stalwart Demo
crat. was yesterday selected by Phila
delphia judges to be a member of the
board of viewers to succeed Judge
Shoemaker. Mr. Green, who is now a
registration commissioner, is well
known here. \V. X. Trinkle, counsel
for the Public Service Commission,
was also mentioned for the place.
- W oman suffrage is due to come up
in the Senate on Monday night on
final passage. So will the Dauphin
county third judgeship bill, and there
does not appear to be much opposition
to either.
—The President will make a num
ber of recess post office appointments
and also name B. F. Davis revenue
collector again.

THE COMPETING JITXEV
[Prom the Saturday Evening Post 1
The strange word "jitney" has be
come of <iulte poignant importance on
the Pacific coast. Some etymologists
hold that It Is of Japanese origin
others that It Is merely a slang term for
b nickel, originating in spotting cir
cles. It means an automobile—general
ly a low-priced five-passenger tour
ing car—which operates over a fixed
route in competition with the street
cars, carrying passengers for five cents
a head. There are said to be over 1 000
jitneys in Uos Angeles alone, whose're
ceipts average S6 to $7 a day. Traction
people there place the loss In street
railway revenue above 11,000 000 a
year and naturally want the competi
tion suppressed, In San Francisco jit
neys are said to cost one trollev line
over S2OO a day, The bankruptcy of a
weak line is attributed to Jitney com
petition. Meanwhile, jitney owners
have organized for mutual defense and
from deep trenches defy the traction
forces to bring on their forty-two cen
timeter guns,
This is what often happens when a
firmly established industry, with an
I ense capita] investment, is Assail
ed by an Innovation. But the remark
able thing is that automobiles should
be able to compete with street cars at
all. Only twenty years ago an auto
mobile was a rare and expensive lux-
Vry. Now the dependable cars are so
cheap and can be operated at so low
a cost that carrying four passengers at
Ave cents a head, or twenty cents a
load, over considerable distances is
profitable—at least In Lk>s Angeles,
where there is fine pavement and open
weather all the year round. The ruie
is that the newest things grows fastest
Wtthin a generation the newer elec
trical traction hHs developed much
faster than the older steam traction,
and gasoline traction faster still

of each person in the direcktery. They
are as full of wtseness as a swiss clieez'e
is full of holes.
One of the Partlark's favrite raps is

dont like on the bord "Man-so-n-so"
they intcrmate he aint wliot he ought
to be, which is how the Patrian-k feels
about most everybody ekcept itself,
and sometimes it gits to sllppin in that
direeksliuo.
