When tho city's own plant, which will be In op eration not later than May 1. gets under way It is to bo supposed that I larrlsburg will have better street re pairs at a less cost than ever before. Mr. Lynch, who will have charge of it as superintendent of highways, has a reputation second to nono for keep ing- the streets of the city clean. The cleanliness of Harrisburg's highways is proverbial. No city in the country can boast of a better service in this respect and the cost has been extremely low. It is therefore to be expected that Mr. Lynch will do as well with the re pair work as he has with the sweep ing. Meantime he is right in insisting that the contractor fulfill his obli gations. PURPOSE OF ATTACKS THERE is a well developed plan behind the persistent and un called for assaults upon the three Republican city council men that does not appear on the sur face. Those who are guilty of every thing in the way of untruth, except perjury itself, in an effort to besmirch the reputations of these officials are doing so because they hope thereby to elect three Democratic members to louncil next November. That is obso lutely all there is to it. Unbelievable as the statement may seem to fair minded men, a little investigation* will demonstrate the truth of it. Xo matter what the trio of Republi cans do, the result is the same. Ac cording to their critics, the Republican members can do nothing right. One day they are pictured as selfish brutes, holding back public work for the mere pleasure of seeing unfortunate fellow citizens out of work and their families liungry. The next they are held up as the tools of unscrupulous politicians bent on feathering their own nests and taking care of their friends at the ex pense of the city. The day following that they are criticised for not letting contracts to high bidders, whereas had they dor.e so they would have been censured by the same critics for hav ing been reckless with the city's money. It is a soame that such misrepre sentation has to be tolerated. It is an outrage thafr political ambitions and aspirations can be carried to such lengths. It is unfair to the council men who are unjustly attacked and it is a disgrace to the fair name of the <ity. llarrisburg gets a black eye every time its local government is wrong fully censured. Those who have stoop ed to falsehood and character assassi nation in order to smooth the paths of their party candidates next Fall are themselves not to be trusted. Suspi cion must attach to their every utter ance and the good thinking voter of llarrisburg would do well to person ally investigate all such charges as have been made against the council men before accepting them as truth. Councilmen are not perfect. Doubt less the Republican members, as well as the Democrats, have made mis takes. But it is absurd to believe that the three Republicans are devils with pitchforks, while the two Democrats are little angels with halos and harps. Likewise it is not to be supposed that the three Republicans, who before they became councilmen were regarded as men of fair reputation and of most excellent standing among their fellows, have degenerated since election to the creatures their political enemies have described them. Aside from that, the three Republi cans who have been voting as a unit on almost every measure that has arisen since they took office for the reason that they could do nothing to please their two colleagues, have ren dered the city some very valuable ser vice indeed. Under their administra tion the water rates have been twice reduced in two years, the tax rate has been lowered and all the old outstand ing debts have been paid. New fire apparatus has been bought, improve ments made in the parks and innumer able changes made for the better in various branches of the city govern ment. Their policy has been distinctly constructive, as well as conservative and economical. There is absolutely not one iota of evidence to show that a penny of the city's money has been spent Illegally or dishonestly under their direction. On the other hand, it has been shown that they have been giving the city ' TUESDAY EVENING. more than It has been accustomed to getting for every dollar spent. If the councilmen are as black as they have been painted, If they have been guilty of evei on« of the things attributed to them by bosses seeking to replace them with their own satel lites, why Is it that legal proceedings have not been Instituted against them'.' The answer is, of course, that tho charges could not be substantiated— that they are purely political and de signed for no other purpose than to elect three Democrats to council next Fall. THE TREASURY DEFICIT THE cheerful information is given out at Washington that the United States Treasury is facing a deficit that may reach $103,000,000 by July 1. These figures are stupendous in their proportions, but may be regarded as substantially accurate from the fact they are based on the estimates of Representative John J. Fitzgerald, of New York, the Democratic chairman of the committee on appropriations of the House of Representatives. They are, it is to be noted, exclusive of the Panama Canal expenditures, which would, were they Included, run the total up to the figure of $133,000,000. The figure's do not include any ex penditure from the "general fund" of the Treasury on account of the postal service, and should the postal revenue be Insufficient to meet the authorized obligations the deficit will be lncreused to the extent that the postal receipts must be supplemented from the other revenues of the government. Chairman Fitzgerald, while he is careful to sav that he regards tho Underwood tariff as playing absolutely no part in bringing about the present deplorable condition, and while he tries in a weak and foolish manner to place the blame upon previous Repub lican Congresses, admits that the Democrats have not heeded the vari ous warnings which he has given them since he was made chairman of the appropriations committee. In other words, while trying as best he knows to save the face of the Democt-atic administration, he ac knowledges that the Democrats in con trol are entirely responsible for the frightful extravagances that have looted the Treasury of millions upon millions of dollars at a time when the country is in need of every cent it can obtain. "The finances of the Federal gov ernment must be readjusted," says Mr. Fitzgerald. That is exactly what Re publicans have been Insisting upon ever since President Wilson, going into office upon a platform that pledged him and his colleagues to an eco nomical administration of the nation's affairs, proceeded at once, in the face ot those pledges, to spend money more recklessly than was ever known in the history of the country and at the same time began the enactment of legis lation that it was at once apparent would reduce the national revenues by millions of dollars. As Mr. Gillette says in his reply to Mr. Fitzgerald's statement, "the na tional Treasury has never been empty since the Cleveland administration," and it is only too true, as he asserts, that it can only be replenished now as it was then by an issue of bonds, and that it can be made permanently safe only by a change of adminis tration. With about two years more to go the Democrats already have plunged the republic into a mire of debt that will be an unwelcome and burdensome inheritance for the Republican party to assume when it goes back into power on March 4, 1917. If the voters of the country had required any fur ther proof of Democratic incompe tence in governmental affairs, this ad mission of the Democratic chairman of the appropriations committee that his party is unable to keep the nation out of debt would provide the evidence. CHURCH ADVERTISING THE statement of the Rev. B. H. Hart, upon the completion of his fourteenth year as pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist Epis copal Church, to the effect that he at tributes much of the success of the church year just closing to a liberal use of newspaper advertising ought to pro vide subject for thought by all minis ters and laymen desirous of promoting the growth and influence of their con gregations. The Rev. Mr. Hart says that the past twelve months have been the best he has experienced since he was ap pointed to the pastorate of the Fifth Street Church; and this during a period of industrial depression when many families found it necessary to curtail their church contributions and many others to leave the city for the country homes whence they came. The Rev. Mr. Hart went into the subject of church publicity very thor oughly before he adopted the policy of using display advertisements in an effort to draw people into his church. He studied results elsewhere, prepared his copy carefully and entered upon a systematic campaign as well thought out as are many of those designed by industrial advertising managers to in crease their sales. He did not look for results immediately, although they were apparent at once, but was con tent to reckon on the benefits derived from his advertising covering the period of a whole year. In this he was wise. No manufactured articles was ever established as a staple in the minds of the purchasing public by one carelessly written advertisement. The value of advertising lies not in one big splatter of printers' ink, but in its careful, consistent and persistent use. This applies to churdh publicity as well as to that for the exploitation of ordinary business. The Rev. Mr. Hart has sounded the keynote of church advertising. To be of permanent value it must be as con tinuous and as earnest as the activities of the church itself, and thus used will be as beneficial to any congregation as it has been to that of which the Rev. Mr. Hart is pastor. AN KVENING THOUGHT I will not faint, but trust in God Who this my lot hath given. —Christian G. Rossetti. 1 1 EVENING CHAT I Dr. W. J. Holland, of Pittsburgh, who yesterday* suggested that the superdreadnaught Pennsylvania should be christened with water from the Ohio, the Susquehanna and the Dela ware. is curator of the museum of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh and one ot the best known scientific men in America. Indeed, his fame Is inter national. Dr. Holland was formerly a minister In Pittsburgh, but science at tracted him and ho studied abroad and is a member of various learned so cieties and of the French Uegion of Honor. He is of part French descent, being a scion of one of the early Huguenot families of Philadelphia. It was Dr. Holland who conducted the searches for prehistoric animals and he mounted the monsters which are such a feature of the museum at Pitts burgh. He also made the casts of the diplodocus sent to Europe. Dr. Hol land said in regard to his suggestion, which the State had no authority to accept, that Pennsylvania water would be better than French wine. "We baptize with water ajid toasts are drunk in water now. Why should we not use the water from the great rivers of our great state?" Among to the city yesterday was Robert E. MacAlarney, city editor of the New York Tribune and con nected with tho faculty of Columbia University's school of journalism. Mr. MacAlarney is a Harrisburger, a for mer student at tho Harrisburg Acad emy. where he played center rush on the football team, and began his news paper work on the Harrisburg Tele graph. of which his uncle, the late M. W. MacAlarney, was then the owner. Mr. MacAlarney has also at tained fame as an author. While here he met a number of old friends. This part of Pennsylvania is tho subject of a special study on the part of the bureau ol' soils of the national Department of Agriculture just Issued from Washington. It was made by Charles F. Shaw, of the United States government, and J. M. McKee and W. G. Ross, of Stato College. The report goes into great detail regarding the soils, giving each variety In a county, and shows how eastern Pennsylvania car be made one of the garden spots of the world. Much attention is given to Lancaster county and to the T*eb anon and Cumberland valleys, which are apparently considered as having great possibilities. Dean Lewis F. Reber, elected head of tho national extension committee, one of tho biggest educational bodies of the country, is well known to a number of Harrlsburgers. Ho was formerly at State College and then went to the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Reber visited here last summer, being the guest of Dr. John Price Jackson. The Pennsylvania station is an in teresting place these days. It is al ways interesting, but just now when people are coming through from north ern or southern states they can be spotted. The people who are hastening home from Florida or some other point down South appear in furs and heavy overcoats, the shivering being in odd contrast to the tan on their faces. The people from Northern New York ot New England can be spotted be cause they mostly carry their pver coats on their arms. William S. Essielc, running through some old papers the other day, found an invitation issued to his father by Governor Bigler to attend his inaugu ration on January 24, 1853. The invi tation is written in pen and ink on what would now be regarded as a rather cheap form of embossed white paper and enclosed in an envelope of the same type. It differs much from the elaborately engraved and hand somely inscribed inaugural invitations of the present day, most of which never come beneath the notice of the Executive who is to be the chief figure at the ceremonies to which they are a bid. Mr. Essick's father was John Essick, of Chester county, a sergeant at-arms on the "Hill" under Governor Bigler. and the invitation reads as follows: "Mr. and Mrs William Bigler pre sent their compliments to Mr. Essick and request the plcusure of his com pany on Thursday evening next at seven and a half o'clock, Harrisburu. Pa.. Jan. 24. 1853. One of Professor Surface's bulletins on bees has been made a textbook in the Wisconsin State University, which is now giving much attention to the Important and growing industry of honey production. A few days" ago Professor Surface received from the president of the Wisconsin institution request for permission to use Ills "Bee- Keeping ' pamphlet, which has had a wide circulation as a Department of Agriculture bulletin in this State, and lie kindy forwarded sufficient copies for use of the students enrolled with the hope that the book will be found beneficial. Most of the data and in formation contained therein was gleaned by Professor Surface from his own experiments and observations with a large apiary maintained by him for a number of years during his resi dence at Camp Hill. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —William Coleman Freeman, for mer legislator, has taken a cottage at Bar Harbor for the summer. —Henry W.

SXABIfiBURG TELEGRAPH PHLMER IT Qffl IS COMMITTEEMAN Democrats Thinly He Should Get Out of Political Place When He Becomes a Justice MAY FORCE STATE MEETING Interesting Situation Likely to De velop Among the Democrats in Pennsylvania Ex-Congressman A. Mitchell Pal mer's appointment as chief justice of the United States Court of Claims yes terday has brought up the question among the Democrats in the legis lature whether his new office is not of a character to cause hint to resign as national committeeman of the Demo cratic party in Pennsylvania. Palmer Is at Newport News as the guest of Secretary Daniels to-day and nothing has come from him about it and the ring Democrats are silent. It Is presumed that Palmer will hold on as long as he can, as the only way to fill a vacancy would be by calling the State committee, which State Chairman Roland S. Morris will never do In the present state of mind of the Democrats. Somo Democrats said openly last night that Morrid could not escape a call when Palmer resigned and that the national administration could not expect Palmer to hold the two places, as the committeemanship is distinctly political. The judicial ofllce pays $6,500 a year and Palmer would never give up that chance. If the State committee is called to till the vacancy caused by Palmer's re tirement some Democrats believe that Morris would be called upon to resign. If Morris could do so he would prob ably act as national committeeman or else name Vance C. MeCormick to the place. —The Senate and House were vis ited last night by Justices Elkin and Mcstrezat and tjy a number of con gressmen and other prominent men on their way to Newport News. —R. J.

It is the cus tom of the House to have such busi ness messaged as soon aa it adjourns. This was done last Thursday and the Speaker did not become aware of it until yesterday.

I UTTERSTOTHE EDITOR j FAVORS REPEAL To the Editor of the Telegraph: Dear Sir: The letters that have passed from time to time through the columns of the newspapers have been very interesting and instructive and the privilege of free discussion by the press favors all with a chance of knowledge and understanding for which wo are grateful. I have had twenty-seven years' serv ice with the Pennsylvania Railroad but never had any experience in the train service, nevertheless, from my viewpoint, it seems to me that the full crew law is too stringent or drastic and should be repealed, or, at least, modified to the point of flexibility, where it will not insure a hardship on either the 'employe or the employer. I am free to say that In discussion with Impartial and fair-minded train men, they have heartily agreed with me In this view, and pointing further to the fact, that in the repeal of the Missouri law, many trainmen accorded in this view and voted for its repeal in that State, which, to my mind, is the best evidence of the injustice of the law. as it now stands. Further, it savors very clearly of class legislation, and in such an event, would be un constitutional. The railroads claim that they will employ men on trains where they are required but want to be relieved by law of employing men where they are not needed. They are in a position to know what number of men are re quired to handle a train of any num ber of cars with safety and efficiency. The managers are unquestionably the best authority for the number of cars in trains and the number of men re quired for the crew to handle such trains, because they arc in touch with every movement from start to finish. No job or position is undermanned but, on the contrary, there are more men usually employed for all classes of work by railroads than there are outside by concerns or corporations. We will use our influence for tho repeal. R. R. EMPLOYE. STORY RITEN' BY THE MESSENGER BOY A fresh nickel frbm the mint in Phila delfy came to the First Nat. Bank the other day and started in sirkulatln with many advenshures, up's-an-downs, goin's to-an-fro amongst the popula shun of our charmln city. It first landed In the hands of a kid from the fish market who took it with hundreds more from the bank tt his boss to be used for makin change. It was then give to an old codger that bougt a quart of oisters and stopped on the way home at the bar down the alley. The salooner ast, "Where you get the nickel, Jerry? Didn't think the ol woman ud let you have any money for spendin. Nice new one, ain't it? Wot'll you have?" "The ol woman dont know that the price of isters is comin down," set Jerry, "so she dont know what I spend for refrishmint. Gimme a bock; its gettin near Spring an I need a tonick." The nickel was rung up on the cash registrar while Jerry slopped up the beer; but soon after It was give to the ice man, who went on to the Governor's Manshun an made change with the but ler. When the Gov. went to work that mornin he ast the butler for some pocket money and was giv the nickel which he spent on the way' to Capitol Hill for a bag of peanuts. The peanut seller give the nickel to his wife and she took a shoppin toor that afternoon so the new coin had a rapid-fire excursion through six de partment stores inside four hours. It would be spent in one store and sent over the money air-line to the casheer, who soon sent it back to some other customer for change. This lady would stop in the dept. store adjoinin and immediately spend it, because a woman rant pass a big store if she has a nickel in her pocket. When five oclock come the girl that had the nickel spent It for street car fare. Instead of knockln down fare the conducktor sent the nickel in the Hbg. Rys. Co. office to be counted. It was soon in slrculashun again and was spent for soda water, movin pictures, then put in the collectshun at a prayer meetln, where it rested overnite. The peracher spent it next mornin for a pint of milk and the milkman used it to help pay his water bill. The How's This?
