Pennsylvania at this time: • Tlie Issue now joined is a plain and fair one. Tlie Williams local option bill is, I submit, a perfectly fair and reasonable measure. It Is not a "wet" or "dry" measure. Only 1 false men and ignorant men will hold this. The whole issue is, "Shall the people themselves have J the right once in three years to de cide for themselves whether or not . license shall issue for the sale of 1 intoxicants in tlia several counties v of Pennsylvania." If you believe in the rule of the people, if you can trust the people, if you are' a real c American, you cannot deny the fair ness of this proposition. Tlils is not an issue to persecute o any one. It has nothing to do with the question of prohibition as such. 0 It is solely and avowedly a submit- j ting of a mighty question directly to the people. What right have the r: delegated rcpresenatlves of the pro- a pie to deny the people a right that is as fundamental as that by which 0 they choose delegated representa- s lives? I. the people are not to be given this right by what reason arc i: they given any right? They rulo t in this country, and giving them their own is giving what we can- c not justly deny. j. Nobody can gainsay the truth of j that, and in the faco of it any legisla- t tor who votes against the local option bill docs so because he prefers to bow .| •o the will of the liquor crowd rather ], I hail to that of tho people. That's all . there Is to it. Shall the people rule, or c shall rum rule? The legislators must , decide the issue at this time, but next j year, if they now fail to heed the trend of public opinion, the people will de cide. And when the people do decide. It will go hard with aspirants for re election who voted against local option at this session. Faithlessness now spells defeat sure and certain in the future. If any doubt exists in the mind of any legislator that there Is a popular demand for this legislation, let him ' make a test for himself. Let him go {abroad in whatsoever locality he may j choose and t.-ike a poll of the first i hundred people he may meet. The result will convince him. Wherever men congregate the preponderance of opinion is that Pennsylvania is bound to have a local option law, and the longer the delay, the more drastic it c will be. v One of the peculiar phases of the c situation is that this belief is not con- o fined to teetotalers. Men who do not i hesitate to admit their fondness for f alcoholic beverages are not only among 1 those who bclievo that local option t is only a matter of very short time, I hut. are actually to be found in favor ci of lis enactment. Doubtless many such 1 would voto "wet" if it came down to a t llnal decision of liquor or no liquor, but r as Americans they believe in the rule I of the majority. t The only radical antilocal optlonists in Pennsylvania are the men who, in one way or another, make the liquor , business yield them a profit—not al- I ways in money, perhaps—but profit, nevertheless. The decent, fair-minded people of ' this State are behind Governor Brum- ' baygh, and If they are denied what 1 they now rightfully demand, there can ho little question about them taking S the advico of United States Senator f Oliver, who told them last night to go ' outside the Republican party next year, 1 if that should become necessary, to ' elect legfslators who shall be pledged ' to deal honestly with them in this 1 matter. . 1 "SWAT THE FLY" \ , <<C WAT the Fly!" The old war cry rends the air. The swat * ting brigade has begun its Spring campaign. Do not tamlle. The matter is serious. A fly Ikllled now may mean a life saved later ton. Over 6,000,000 germs, scientists tell ius, have been found on the body of one Icommon house fly. The latter is an involuntary carrier of disease germs accidental contamination of its I feet or body or wing or buccal equip ment. Tho tilth frequenting habits of the [insect are responsible for its transmit ting typhoid germs. It frequently is with various germs of other Idlseases as well, and, according to Dr. '-.Williams and other eminent authori- Ees, millions of bacteria are sometimes > be found on the body of a single y - It was Dr. XJ. O. Howard, the gov ernment expert entomologist, who re- P"iristened the housefly the typhoid fly. e has done humanity great servlco 1 calling public attention to the chief 1 •WEDNESDAY EVENING, danger with which it menaces us. j There are nearly 500,000 cases of ty phoid fever yearly in the United! States and nearly 50A)00 deaths. For ty-nine thousand Infants die annually of enteritis, or summer complaint. In both diseases most of the germs are distributed by flies. It is impossible to estlmato how greatly tho fly fig ures in the ravages of tuberculosis, diphtheria and cholera. Therefore, it behooves the housewife or the man at tho desk who has re spect for his or her own Immunity from disease and a proper regard for the health of the community, "to swat" whenever the Spring fly buzzes in the vicinity. WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT CITY COUNCILMAN HAKRT F. BOWMAN, superintendent of the Water Department, has done an excellent work during the past year. His annual report, submitted yesterday, shows that the Harrisburg Water Department began the present fiscal year with a surplus of $80,915.83, the largest in the history of the city, and this after the superintendent had substantially reduced the water rates. Mr. Bowman modestly reports that most of the profit made was in pur chasing supplies and in making re pairs and improvements, where every effort was made to buy all supplies and to have all work done with the least possible outlay 'of time and money. This result, he says, was ac complished by competitive bidding and by the prompt discounting of bills payable. That all sounds very simple, but it reflects a management of the Water Department in strict accordance with business rules. Mr. Bowman evidently devoted to the department the same care and attention ho would have had it been A private business enterprise. This is the way all public affairs should be transacted. His accomplish ment In increasing the profits of his department after having reduced the price of water to the consumer is cer tainly worthy of the highest com mendation. A KIXGLY EXAMPLE KING GEORGE of Great Britain has set a very good example to his subjects in decreeing teeto talism in the royal household at least during the remainder of the war. The King believes that alcohol is a greater foe to England than either Germany or Austria and that the fate of the nation may hang upon sobriety or drunkenness. In this he Is follow ing the Czar of Russia, who some months ago discovered that the use of alcohol is debilitating to the efficiency of a fighting force and the English sovereign is a trifle more conservative In his actions. Where the Czar arbi trarily barred the manufacture of al cohol, King George has merely ex pressed the hope that the use of strong drink will be abandoned during the term of hostilities. Both sovereigns are behind time. The big industries of this country have long since put the ban upon alcohol. An Instance of this is the letter re cently sent to Governor Brumbaugh by Wallis H. Howe, president of the Pittsburgh Steel company, in which he says: I note with much pleasure the enthusiastic manner I" which you are supporting the cause of local option, and I sincerely trust that you will be able to frame up a local option bill that will be successfully passed. As the head of a corporation em ploying 5,000 workmen, I want to sa*- that about two years ago I took up vigorously the mal - «r of trying to reduce the amount of liquor drunk by our employes to a minimum. The question was ap proached from a purely economical standpoint, and 1 have been more than pleased with the sucess. We have been earnestly endeavoring to lead our men to see the matter in Its true and proper light, and I am thoroughly of the opinion that on the part of our employes alone, we have reduced the use of liquor 50 per cent. Strong drink is the friend of ineffi ciency. Jack Johnson found that out when on Monday of this week he went down before Willard, who is a total abstainer. In every office and factory in the land similar examples may be foutd. Look about you. Do you know one man who has been benefited by st?ong drink? On the other hand, how many of your friends or ac quaintances can you count who have been injured, If not ruined, thereby. In the answer to these questions lies the reason why King George and the Czar In their great emergency have placed the ban upon alcohol. REPAIRING THE HIGHWAYS GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH is keeping faith with *the people i and fulfilling his campaign pledge for better highways in I Pennsylvania. His order for putting 5,000 men to work on the State roads this week is a step in that direction. Road repairs must be made in the Spring time to be effective. To be sure, the work must be continued throughout the year, but unless it is Inaugurated immediately after the frost is out of the ground much dam age will be done that cannot be satis factorily restored except at a cost for in excess of that which would have been had the work been done at the proper time. Governor Brumbaugh has shown his knowledge of this fact and is spending the State's money at a period that will not only give the people a full dollar's worth for every dollar expended, but will assure for them well repaired roads during the entire warm weather season. It Is to the credit of the State High way Department that it had its plans all ready when the Governor asked that they be put into operation. A GILCHRIST RECITAL HARRISBURG people will be de lighted to learn that the Mendelssohn club of Philadel- phia will on April 14 give a concert in honor of Dr. W. W. Gil christ, its founder and sole director during forty years. It Is significant also that after an absence from public activity of over a year, a new large choral work of Gilchrist is to be pro duced, a setting of the "Ninetieth Psalm"—among the noblest of the sa cred songs. Dr. Gilchrist was so long the leader of the Harrisburg Choral Society that this city feels a profound interest in him—almost as though he were one of our own people. Next year might it not be an appropriate thing for the choral society to give a Gilchrist recital in honor of the man to whom it owes so much and to whom Harrisburg muafc lovers are Indebted for so many delightful concerts? rEVENING CHAT i A pretty good indication of tho way farmers and landowners In this section of tho Susquehanna Valley feel about the prospects of prices for wheat this summer and-Kall can be gained by any- ? ne Koing to a high place in the vicin » t i f or a train or one ~ ° numerous trolley routes that radiate from the city and tap some .of the fairest of the tine lands of Cen tral Pennsylvania. The wheat fields can be distinguished by the bright green, tho only green spots in the landscape Just now, although a few weeks hence the stalks will be shooting upward and the color will be that brilliant green of the grain field in Spring. The number of wheat fields would surprise the ordinary person who does not pay much attention to the crops and rather startle some who are wedded to a strict following of the rotation plan. Half a dozen fields of wheat can be seen on the slopes of the I i ork hills, while the Cumberland Val ley is dotted with squares of green. Perry county has a number of fields that can be spotted from a distance and the farmers of Dauphin county below the mountain evidently spent a good bit of money for seed wheat last autumn. Some of the wheat fields are of good size and barring the army worm, Hessian fly and some of the oth er pests that good Dr. Surface endea vors to keep under control there ought to be a huge tonnage of wheat gather ed hereabouts. It is doubtful now if there will be any sowing of Spring wheat. For a time last Fall when wheat was skyrocketing in price many formers gave serious thought to sow ing Spring wheat, but this is a distinct ly winter wheat State and the rule is not likely to be broken even with the European war going on. Henry Hornbostle, the architect of the Pennsylvania building at the Pana ma Exposition, and well known to a number of Harrlsburgers, helped out the freshmen of the Carnegie sOhool of design at Pittsburgh in style the oth er day. The architect is a sort of patron saint of the school and the "fresh" wanted to hold a banquet. The sophomores, of course, tried, very hard, to prevent it. The freshmen got the aid of Mr. Hornbostle and held their banquet in one of the big clubs. Mr. Hornbostle was a speaker, too. A trip to Reservoir Park these of ternoons is well worth while, if one does not mind being battered by the winds that sweep about the knobs of the city's playground. The air is clear and the view extends well into Cumberland, York and Perry counties, while a vast amount of Dauphin is, of course, to be seen and some people contend that on an exceptionally clear day the hills of Lebanon county may bo seen. The appearance of the coun try now is interesting for it is still dingy from the rough usage of winter and in a month the contrast will be striking because of tho magic touch of Springtime. With the coming of the warm days this week dozens of conoelsts got out their paddles and beat It for the wet spots on the Susquehanna and Cono doguinet. Tt has been many a year since the Susquehanna was so favor able for early canoeing as this year. Usually about the first two weeks of April the river is rather high and only the bravest hearts venture out in the frail little craft that seems to be all sides and no bottom. But this year the river is down to almost the low stage of mid-July, barely a goot of water going over the swimmers' dam west of Independence Island. The sand patches above Idependence, too, are becoming green and some of the bigger rocks have poked their aged noses abovo the water line to get a peek at the sun which warms them for the swimmers of midsummer. Strollers along the river front will see here and there a coal dredge busy puffing away in somo secluded spot between the Islands opposite Herr street, and with the exception of the heavy Island foliage the entire stream has tho appearance of the good old summer time. Harris park, between Mulberry and Vine streets, Is dotted here and there with what looks for all the world, like a series of riflepits. The resemblance is further borne out by the popping up now and then of a human head above the screen of tree trunks that cover the holes. The depressions have been made by the city forester and his staff of assistants in digging out the stumps of rotted trees that have been cut down and the eafthen walls were thrown up to pro tect passersby from blundering into the holes. As further protection trunks of fallen trees have been split Into sections and placed across the holes. One of the favorite afternoon amuse ments for youngsters these afternoons when they play outdoors Is apt to be uncomfortable because of the winds, Is going to Paxtang to see the baby rabbits. There is quite a collection of rabbits in the park and the Spring broods are a great attraction for chil dren, attracting so many people that the deer not far away are now taking places up close to the fences to see the cause of the crowds. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —J. D. Strawn. the new receiver of the Uniontown Bank, has had much experience in such matters. Ho has been in Greene county lately. —Judge B. N.

Claycomb, who were the three members last session, all got into the House at the same time. —lt seems the other evening Mr. Wildman was called to the chair in the House to permit the Speaker to meet Kathryn May Frick.

Hicks, of Blair county, was at the Capitol. —Philip H. Johnson, prominent Philadelphia architect, was here yes terday 011 business at the Capitol. —Mr. Cromer got another bill put to sleep last night.

And conse<iuentl> in this new novel of the Russian Ad i vance in the great war, called "Red Fleece," Mr. Comfort uses for central character a girl of the Russian Revo lution, nursing the sick and urging the soldiers to cease tiring. RHEUMATISM A MYSTERY Some diseases give immunity from another attack but rheumatism works Just the other way. Every attack of rheumatism invites another. Worse than that it reduces the body's power so that each attack is worse than the one before. If any disease needs curing early It is rheumatism, but there is almost no disease which physicians And more difficult to treat successfully. When a medicine does help rheumatism no body knows how or why it does it. All authorities agree that the blood becomes thin with alarming rapidity as rheumatism develops. Maintaining the quality of the blood therefore is a reasonable way of preventing and combating rheumatism. That it works out in fact is shown by the beneficial results in the treatment of rheuma tism, acute, muscular and articular, with the blood tonic, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. That hundreds who take Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well is a fact beyond dispute. That the rheumatism does not return as lonK as the blood is kept rich and red is equally true. Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N. Y„ for the free pamphlet "Building Up the Blood" and kindly mention this paper. Your own druggist sells Or. Williams' Pink Pills. —Advertisement.

SONNET ON NIGHT'S EVES Now comes soft summer when the stilly night Hath lately gained ten thousand extra eyes, Blinkless and restless, and of hide ous size. They roam the streets, a most appal ling sight Pair after pair they bore, with shafts of light. Deep tunnels through the tender, velvet dark At whose far end rise sounds of rage and fright From many a bench half hidden in the park. From many a porch where Cupid's rosy mark Is far too brightly blazoned in the gleam. Thus dazzling splendor drowns the timorous spark And puts an awl'ul crimp in love's young dream. Ah, these sad times when night, mis chievous elf, No longer keeps her eyes upon her self! —George Fitch in Collier's.

The American officer responded with an offer of a small cake of ice, which was sent the following morning.
