TIESDAY EVENING. MARCH »<»
PASS THE BILL
ON another page of the Telegraph
to-day there is published a map
of the Capitol park extension
zone, showing the properties
acquired by the State and those yet
to be bought. The Extension Commis
sion announces that $300,000 will be
necessary to complete the purchases.
This should be forthcoming, and no
doubt it will be.
The commission has done an excel
lent work. It has dealt with the prop
erty owners fairly. They have re
ceived prices as high as they could
have expected from a private pur
chaser. But not one of them has re
ceived more than should have been
paid under the circumstances, as a
careful examination of the records will
reveal. Everything has been open and
above board. The figures of each
transaction have been published.
Critics have not been above prying
beneath the surface of every transfer,
but in no instance have they been able
to tind anything but a praiseworthy !
eiYort on the part of the commission
to ileal fairly both by the State and
the property owner.
The commission's task has been
dilTlcult. Mistakes might have occurred
even with the best of intentions. It
would have been easy for the commis
sion to have involved itself in a maze
uf controversy that would have aroused
hot., the antagonism of the land own
ers with which they were dealing and
tile people of the State at large. In
complications, that some such mis
understanding did not arise. But that
it did not and that the commission has
been able to conduct its duties to the
satisfaction of alj concerned and with
out a whisper of adverse criticism even
from those who make it their business
to criticise is high praise indeed.
The act authorizing the extension
of the Capitol grounds requires that
all the land in the zone be purchased
by June 1, 1917. That makes it neces
sary for additional funds to be placed
at the disposal of the commission at
'an early date. The $300,000 must be
appropriated this year if the provisions
of the law are to be met. Xo doubt
the legislators will view the matter in
that light and put through the neces
sary appropriations without delay. By
doing so they will not only meet the
emergency with which the commis
sion is confronted, but will promote
the progress of an improvement in
which the whole State is interested.
AMERICAN SUBMARINES
THE country is mourning its first
submarine disaster and there is
a marked absence of criticism
of the kind that usually follows
accidents in the navy. This, doubt
less, is because the United States sub
marine service has been in the past
exceptionally efficient or exceptionally
fortunate.
This country was the first to make
use of the under-water fighting ma
chine. A very gTeat deal of the ex
perimenting necessary to bring the
submarine to its present high state of
efficiency has been performed by
American scientists and American
naval officers. Nevertheless, up to the
time the ill-fated F-4 went to its
doom off the harbor of Honolulu, not
a man had met with serious accident
aboard a United States submarine.
The loss of life incident to the devel
opment of the aeroplane affords an
interesting comparison.
But other navies have not been so
fortunate. Sixteen foreign undcrseas
vessels have been lost and more than
200 lives sacrificed. Either the Amer
ican type of boat is superior to that
used abroad or the American sea
man excels his European fellow un
der waWr as he has so often demon
strated he doc'S on its surface.

SANE REGULATIONS
HOW the type of business regula
tion prescribed by the Pennsyl
vania Legislature does differ
from that, enacted by the Con
gress just recently adjourned! The
approval of the. partnership code by
Governor Brumbaugh last week places
on the statute books of the State a
law qf a distinctively constructive na
ture. While protecting the public, it
is at the same time beneficial to busi
ness. The law is generally helpful
and injures nobody.
It is to be noted that business made
no effort to block this legislation. In
deed, its progress In the Legislature
was remarkable for Its smoothness.
Not a ripple marked Its course.
Rather, it was encouraged by busl-
TUESDAY EVENING, HARFUSBURG TELEGRAPH
nessmen familiar with its contents
and intent.
All this by way of pointing out the
fallacy of the theory held at Wash- j
ington that businessmen are averse:
to anything smacking of govern-!
mental regulation. Quite the reverse !
is true. Business does not object to
proper restrictions. It stands ready
to assist in the enactment of construc
tive legislation of that kind. What
it does object to is the attitude of the
j Wilson administration, which appar-,
; entiy has assumed that It is e.verlast- j
j ingly right and that every business
j man disagreeing with any of its poli- !
I cles does so from dishonest motives.
HIDING TO A FALL
SAID Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the United States Steel corpor- .
ation, discussing business eon- |
ditions the other day;
| The reason for these adverse eon- ,
dttlons lias been partly the fan it of j
' the businessmen. Wi* had become j
] more or less careless in manage-
I ment. indifferent to the rights and |
Interests of others, regardless of j
our responsibilities toward those |
for whom we hail become trustees,
as directors, officials or otherwise,
and unmindful of the general pub- ;
lie welfare. I make no personal ref
erence and have no individual or
corporation in mind. Alt of. us
faile.d to measure fully up to our
obligations.
That is true. The old-time spirit of
"the public be damned" is back of ull
the troubles that business faces to-day. j
j insofar as unfavorable legislation is j
'concerned. With a firm hand on th; |
bridle business rode hard and fast to
| a fall. AVTrfn the people did finally
j get the upper hand they went too far.
They elected radicals because they
were radicals, and for the reason that
they wanted to make sure of putting i
a check upon unscrupulous capital.
The result has been that all business,
good and bad, has been made to suf
fer unnecessarily and the people them
selves have felt the retlex of the blows
they dealt.
The liquor interests are in precisely
the same position to-day. They have
been and are as reckless of public in
terest and public sentiment as the
great "captains of industry" were a
few years back—and they are riding
to the same hard fall. When the peo
ple are once firmly in the saddle they
write on the statute books laws that
will be far more drastic than had been
the case if their demands for reason
able regulations had been early recog
nized.
And make no mistake about the peo
ple getting the whip hand—they will
do that right enough: only the longer
the delay the more strength will be
back of their blows. John Barleycorn
is laying up an awful beating for him- .
self. There is a fine rod in pickle for <
him and it is becoming more supple I
and pliable every day.
As yet those seaside pictures of j
people romping in the surf have no
attractions for us.
SAFE INVESTMENTS
TDK report that Emperor William
and others of the Hohenzollern
family recently have invested
extensively in New York mu
nicipal Four's is a compliment to the
stability of American bonds. Looking
over the entire world, these securities
have seemed most desirable to a king l
and his relatives who are determined !
to take no chances on the future of
their income at tho close of a war the
outcome of which nobody now can
foresee.
The judgment of the agents of this
royal family is. however, nothing new.
Bankers of reputation and ability have
been known to put more nnfeney into
municipal bonds than into any other
form of permanent investment, unless
i it be the securities of the nation itself.
It is true they bear less interest than
many others, but they in the long run
are safer even than first-class mort
gages and they are as good as gold on
the market or in the banks.
Emperor William and his family
may feel perfectly safe whate'er betide
if it is true, as has been stated, that
they have stowed away in safety de
posit vaults in this country some mil
lions of dollars' w r orth of Xew York
city improvement bonds.
How different European securities
look here at the present time. If the
figures of banking authorities may be
accepted as accurate, the United States
now has a credit abroad of nearly
$500,000,000; but there are very few
investors in this country who are
showing any disposition to put a part
of that surplus into bonds of the
warring nations. Mr. Morgan has gone
abroad with some such thought in his
mind, it is said, but it is by no means
certain that he will invest heavily in
any of the securities now being issued
by Germany or the allies. If the war
should come to an end within the com
ins six months, some of these Euro
pean bonds may look like good invest
ments. but If hostilities continue over
a period of years there is no estimating
the amount of depreciation that may
result.
At all events, the fact that shrewd
European investors prefer American
securities to their own war loans ought
to give American capitalists food for
thought.
PUPILS NOT ALL TO BLAME
SUPERINTENDENT SHARP, of
the Columbus schools, made
public the other day the fol
lowing. which were among the
answers of eighth grade pupils to a re
cent examination:
The four largest cities in Indi
ana are London, Chicago, Singapore
and Paris.
Woodrow Wilson Is Governor of
Indiana.
Milk should be kept clean and in
spected at leant once a year.
Morse discovered artificial breath
ing.
Dixon Is Governor of Indiana.
He Is also Congressman.
The wind makes health by giving
people bad colds.
We cook food to make It more
pilotable. When the teeth are gone
the stomach must digest the food.
Superintendent Sharp may think
these answers funny. In a sense they
are. But they reflect a serious condi
tion In Columbus schools. If eighth
grade pupils in Harrisburg- schools
were guilty of them the Telegraph
would recommend a new city superin
tendent or the removal of the teachers
responsible for such Inefficient meth
ods as those displayed In the examin
ation papers quoted.
f EVENING CHAT 1
People who have "wondered why
Harrlsburg did not take some steps to
perpetuate the historic localities that
'are about in the city will be interested
to note that Philadelphia is planning
to mark historic sites and buildings in
Chestnut street with permanent tablets
and that eventually the marking will
j be extended to other parts of the city,
j Pennsylvania's Capital City is rich in
'spots that excite the attention of visi-i
|tor- from other places and if some
j body could lie created to make studies
j and select those which should be
marked the average resident of Ilar-
Irlsburg would be surprised at what
j would bo turned up. As pointed out
'in this column beforo the location of
j Harris' ferry and his storehouse exist I
i by tradition and the average man does;
j not know where Washington lodged
• when he came here on his way to sup
press the Whisky Rebellion, where the
I llrst legislature met in Hurrlsburg, the
i home of the tirst governor, where the
(troops of the War of 18XS were sworn
j in. where the Mexican War company I
j was mustered in, the many points of j
I interest concerning the Civil War days |
(and where the first church, school and
| charity was established. It would not
I cost much and a movement with the
object of marking the places would
command general and popular sup
port.
Up ifnti! Saturday afternoon friends
of City Commissioner Harry F. Bow
man—and even the superintendent of
i public safety himself—had more than
I a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Bow-!
j man was marksman of class with a
j shotgun. Saturday, however, -Mr. Bow
man, his fellow-commissioner, Wil
liam H. Lynch, and a scote or more
of other members of llarrisburg lodge
of Elks went to Reading to be guests
of the Berks capital lodge and inci
dentally to compare the respective
! abilities of Harrlsburg and Heading
Elka at the targets, at bowls and at
billiards. City Commissioner Bow
man. it appears, was one of the gun
team. He didn't do so well; this he
admits. ll» only killed four out
of ten birds. Trie deciding bird was
lost by Fred W. Dinger, a well-known
expert. Ho hit the bird and 'lllled it
with enough shot to kill most any
ordinary pigeon but this one in par
ticular was unusually husky. Despite
its load of shot it managed to get
across the wire fence and out of
bounds before it fell. So the local
Elks lost in the shooting contest in
the afternoon; and in the evening they
went down to ignominious defeat in
both the bowling and the billiard con
tests. Commissioner Lynch neither
shot, nor bowled nor played billiards.
But he had a good time.
Sunday was a great day for stroll
ing, but not on the Reservoir Park
lawns. The park workmen during the
last week have covered the grassy
slopes with powdered lime for fertiliz
ing purposes arid the west winds blew
the white powder over everybody.
Those who took to the lawns soon re
turned to the walks, as the lime play
ed the deuce with shoes and cloth
ing. Reservoir is attracting hundreds
of people every day since the warmer
weather and the robins have come,
tennis enthusiasts can he seen most
any time looking wistfully at the tin
lined courts; golfers are out swinging
their clubs; and the benches arc be
coming favorite lolling spots for folks
with that tired feeling.
Unseasonable March weather, with
freezing temperature on the days when
baseball practice used to be in vogue,
does not seem to have daunted the
snowdrop, crocus and other early
Spring flowers in gardens along Front
street and there are some who live on
the Hill and in the upper end of the
city who insist that the more favor
able sunshine that falls on the Front
street blooms does not give them any
advantage as regards size or color.
Hundreds of people in this city take a
big pride in their early Spring tiowers
and if one only knew it, there are as
many arguments over flowers that
bloom early as there are over the
war.
Speaking of war it has been a mat
ter of comment that most of the Ital
ian residents of the city have been
predicting that their native land would
enter into the conflict against Austria
as soon as the weather was considered
right. As long ago as last December
several well versed Italian residents
said that they expected Italy to invade
Austria about the middle of April.
None of them seemed to be very much
disposed to go back to take a hand,
but they seemed to be well posted on
conditions in their home land to re
gard entrance of Italy upon a cam
paign to recover "the lost provinces"
when Austria was in bad shape a some
thing not only justified, but entirely
proper.
An architect of this city who has
been in business more than fifteen
years, said the other day he has more
inquiries from prospective builders
this Spring than at any season during
the last four years. The requests for
information, he says arc mostly from
those who contemplate building high
class residences or business buildings in
Harrisburgr, Steelton or neighboring
districts. In his opinion the fact that
so many are consulting an architect is
a sure indication of the tide of return
ing prosperity. Most of the people
seem to have the money in sight to
go ahead.

Though we boaßt of our civilization
And prate of the marvelous plan
By which ev'ry foe in creation
Is harnessed in service of man.
Yet the force we are slowest to mas

In savage or civilized state.
Breeding misery, death ami disaster.
Is tlie force of our primitive hate.
For peoples still war upon peoples,
Anil worship the militant plan,
In spite of our churches and steeples.
There still is the savage man.

The remark attributed to .Lord
Kitchener, "1 do not know when the
war is going to end, but I know when
it is going to begin," gains authority
front the characterization by Harold
Begbie in his recj-nt biography, pub
lished by Houghton Mifflin Company.
The great leader, Mr. Begbie says, "is
an entirely different person from the
legendary Kitchener, and at the pres
ent day, he is no longer the real
Kitchener who laid a railway across
the dessert and broke the savage pow
er of the Dervishes. But he is still an
obstinate, slow-thinking, and tenacious
organizer, still a man who knows the
right person for a particular under
taking, still a man who yields to no I
social pressure in the sphere of pat
ronage, and still a man who is an abso
lute terror to the grafter and the fool. |
He has set himself to raise immense
armies in England, and he is determin
ed that nothing shall make him dis
patch these new troops to the l'ront un
til they have acquired something of
the discipline and smartness which
are such distinguishing marks of the
regular British Army. A weaker man,
or let us say, a man less obstinate,
might have been tempted to send these
green armies to France and to Bel
gium in the first nerve-trying months
of the war. Kitchener was like a rock
in this matter * 5 *. It remains
to be seen whether these new armies
will not surprise Lord Kitchener's crit
ics when they take the lield. Slow and
laborious as the War Secretary's ad
ministration may be, it is nevertheless
inspired by his dogged and unswerving
passion for absolute efficiency. Sooner
or later the uniforms and boots will
appear, the rifles and bayonets be
handed out. and the troops, which at
the time of writing are drilling in
mufti with obsolete rifles, will make
their appearance as a marching army.
