FOLLOW THE "JAY LINES'* HUTCHISON has estab- lished "Jay lines" at the inter sections of all streets where traf fic is heavy. That Is, he has marked out h pathway for pedestrians to fol low and across which vehicular traffic is forbidden to go so long as there is a man, woman or child In the safety tone so indicated. This is an excellent provision, but it wiM fail of its purpose unless the pub lic co-operates with the Police Depart ment. Taking: a "short cut" diagon ally across a highway intersection may be safe enough in the residential parts of town, but it is fraught with peril in the center of the city, and the person struck by a vehicle while engaged in this foolish method of time-saving will have nobody to blame but himself. Stick to the "Jay lines." "Safety First" is the order of the day and Harrlsburg's chief of police is right in line. Just to make them feel thoroughly at j linme, San Francisco Is entertaining her I visitors with earthquake shocks; j slight, to be sure, but still enough to ; Five the stranger experiencing them ; something to boast about when he goes home. PERSONAL WORK IV SCHOOLS ZTWE success of Dr. Downes' |J. personal welfare work in the high school is not difficult to understand. The selection of a teacher who shall be a personal ad viser to every girl needing help is an important step toward bringing the' pupil and the school authorities into that close touch and mutual under standing so necessary for the welfare of one and the efficiency of the other. The girl in the high school is. in a sense, out of touch with her parents, and some times, sad enough to relate, »lhe parents widen the breach by care lessness and lack of observation. At any event it Is the teacher who can .best Judge at this period the needs of her young charges. That fact that the "personal adviser," who has Just filed the report of her first year's work, has gone out of school and Into the homes to correct faults she has found and to better the condition of girl pupils, indicates that she has ful filled her mission in a manner well worth the commendation Dr. Downes eo freely bestows. But the good work should not be eonfined to girls alone. Boys, too, are in need of advice during their high school days. Money invested in an additional "teacher adviser" for the boys next year would be well spent. The man who is loved for the enemies he has made is also liated for the same I ffuson. APPEALING THE STEEL CASE announcement of the Attor- | |X, n «y General that he will take steps at once to appeal to the! Supreme Court the government's suit i against the United States Steel Cor- j ■poration. decided last week in favor of the company, was doubtless inevita ble but not pleasant news, neverthe less. It is a pity that both sides could ' rot have accepted the opinion of the 1 Court of Appeals as binding and as Jiaving established a precedent. Doubt tess the Supreme Court will agree in he findings of the lower court and the jpnljr result of the appeal will have been (delay and the eatablishment of an in contestable precedent, which, of •course, will be of no small value. It Is an enlightened and workable test which the lower court brings Into use. Acts, methods. Intent, and re sults are made the criterion of illegal ity, rather than size or form of poten tialities. The bad is inhibited, with care taken to conserve and fortify the good- "We dismiss once and for all ,th» question of the mere volume or elgness of business," says the princi •l opinion. "The question before us ifts not how much business was done or how large the company that did it. HThe vital question is, how was the busi ness, whether big or little, done; was St, in the test of the Supreme Court, done by prejudicing the public inter ests, by unduly restricting or unduly 'obstructing trade?" ' Th« opinion makes It clear that in whether public interests ~ MONDAYrtCVENING,'^ are prejudiced, the effect on three ele ments must be considered —competi- tors in trade, the purchasing public, and the general public. Certain meth ods at one time employed by the Steel Corporation are held to violate the act, but their abandonment is deemed to remove reason for decree against them. Only such combinations of capital and effort are deemed unlaw ful aa by reason of intent or the In herent nature of the contemplated acts prejudice these public Interests though unduly restricting competition or unduly obstructing the course of trade. In determining whether "undue restriction or obstruction" resulted from any act of the Steel Corporation, the court considers a multitude of fac tors In a spirit and with a common sense highly creditable to a Judicial tribunal confronted with a task essen tially administrative in its nature. The competitors of the Steel Corporation controlled 60 per cent, of the steel business at the time the government filed Its bill for dissolution, and although the business of the Steel Cor poration has expanded, the evidence indicated that the business of its com petitors mesnwhlle flourished In even larger ratio. Evidence of unfair at tack on the business prosperity of competitors was not advanced; em phasis had palpably been placed on making, rather than taking business. In this connection, the district court does declare two rules or standards which mar prove chart and compass to future enterprise. The first is that "the real test of monoply is not the size of that which is acquired, but the trade power of that which is not acquired." The second draws a most wholesome distinction between the monopolistic pre-emption of existing trade, foreign and domestic, and the creation of a new trade, new markets, new outlets for surplus, with efforts thus turned towards developing new markets rather than seizing those al ready held by competitors. It has been the boast, and indisputa bly the conscientious endeavor of the men at the head of the Steel Corpora tion. that they have bent every effort to guide the conduct of Its affairs well within the dictates of law and con science. They have withheld no scru tiny, no Innovation and no expenditure which gave promise of bringing about a fuller conformance with that stand ard. The unanimous decision of the district court is a fine vindication of that kind of business endeavor; it shows what American meij of large affairs may accomplish, in making ef fective business methods consonant with the highest concepts of law and fair dealing. The best interests of the public and of business, too, will have been served by an early confirmation of the find ings of the lower court by the upper court. Meanwhile, not only the Steel Corporation, but big business in gen eral should feel the stimulus of re turning confidence that comes with a knowledge of what may and may not be done under the law. The next time Judge Gary invites a few steel trade men to lunch we expect the Trade Commission will require all present to wear muzzles; which brings the Commission face to face with the great problem or devising a muzzle that will prevent talking while not Inter fering with the proper mastication of food. Truly the responsibilities of of cial life are great. SHRINKAGE ONLY TEMPORARY THE Census Bureau has just isaued a bulletin showing that the wealth of the nation in 1912 was $187,739,000,000. In 1904 the esti mated wealth was $107,104,000,000. This is an enormous increase in eight years, but It is not so great as will be experienced in the succeeding eight years. Though the business depression of the last two years has brought stag nation to the real estate market, and values of both city and farm property In some sections of the country are perhaps a little less than In 1912, yet this is only a temporary shrinkage and will be more than offset by the growth in values which will certainly follow restoration of the Republican party to power. A military expert writes of "what is bound to happen, fact for fact, if America is Invaded." All that Is miss ing from his graphic account are of ficial lists of the dead and wounded. This man is missing a big opportunity by not hiring himself out in Europe. There are some gentlemen over there who would be very glad, we Imagine, to have a circumstantial account of the re sults of each campaign before It is fought. I.IQVOR ADVERTISING NEARLY forty editors were guests at a dry banquet in Chicago a few days ago. They were unani mously of the opinion that the shut ting out of liquor advertisements and the favoring of prohibition haa a good effect upon the receipts of a news paper. ' James H. Ferris, formerly editor of the Jollet News, declared that "it paya," and H. U. Bailey, editor of a paper said to have the largest circu lation of any county weekly in the United States, agreed with Mr. Ferris. Since January 1, twenty-three daily newspapers have notified the Temper ance Society of the Methodist Episco pal Church that they no longer accept liquor advertising. The latest notifica tion of this kind was from the Morn ing Sentinel of - Orlando, Florida, which wrote the secretary: "We have [joined the ranks. No liquor adver tising accepted." Indirect notifica tion also came from the Seattle Sun. The "Sun not only declines liquor ad vertising, but is an active advocate of prohibition and finds that it is not falling back In its receipts. This is the observation of newspa per publishers everywhere who have thrown out all liquor advertisements. Not only are they convinced that it is the right thing to do, but it is the popular course as well. The wise newspaper editor is he who, like the successful politician, first finds out what the people want and then leads the way In molding public opinion along that line. There are times when the newspaper with the best interests of the community at heart, must sacrl flee popularity and subscribers on the altar of its conscience, but generally speaking it is most Useful and most successful when it is In line with pub lic thought, for In a majority of cases the public la right, and there can be no question at this time of the pub lic's attitude toward intemperance. It Is possible women Insist on large closets in their homes because they are naturally anxious to keep well con cealed the "family skeleton." REGULATE THE JITNEYS THE Legislature has placed in the hands of City Council power to regulate Jitney traffic In Harrls burg. Nio time should be lost In taking up the subject. In order to be perfectly fair to the owners and op erators of the Jitney cars, which have come into extensive use in this city during the past few months, the mu nicipal authorities should matte a very careful study of the situation as It has been worked out in other cities, and the Jitney owners should be grant ed the privilege of presenting their side of the matter at public hearings set for the purpose. Yesterday a little girl was killed by one of the Jitney cars. So far as can he ascertained the driver of the car was In nowise to blame. Nevertheless the Jitney traffic has added so largely to the number of motor vehicles con stantly on the streets that oouncil ought to lose no time In facing this new condition. The question of taxa tion Is important, but It Is secondary to that of public safety. The New Tork Herald has discon tinued its weather forecasts; in the in terests of harmony, we suppose.

A table altar had been placed at the end of the aisle Just under the stage of the thea ter-hospital, with two tall altar handles and a large gilt crucifix. The priest in his white surplice and embroidered vestments, attended by his acolyte, had been saying mass. Of the sixty wounded m#»n onlv two had taken communion. The service lasted nearly two hours, but no one murmured. But after the service, the priest strode up and down the aisle furiously declaiming: against Russians. French and Knglish, as all men accurs ed of God. And then a wounded sol dier. who for ten weeks had lain very still, raised on one elbow and shook his fist. "Leave us alone! Stop your shout ing:! he cried. "Yon are onlv making: everyone worse! Stop talking: of war! \\ hat do you know? Were all so tired! Leave us alone!" I left the theater late one night. It was dim and cool and silent there it was full of tired men. I thought of 4,000 hospitals like this scattered all over Germany, and of other hospitals in Austria. Russia. England and France, and of the men by millions who lay on their backs and silently stared at bare ceilings and at walls, at flags and wreaths and garlands, and at the huge red cross of Christ. And I wondered what they all thought about war. What will they say to their wives at home and what will they teach their children? Will they say. iike that tall, smiling boy who awav from school, "War Is very good for us." Or will they, like that silent man who had lain for ten weeks dying, shake their fists at the powers that be and cry, "We are tired! Leave us alone!"— Ernest Poole in the American Magazine. SUNDAY'S WORK AT PATEHSOJI [From the Kansas City Times.] The campaign of Billy Sunday at Paterson. N. J., that recently closed, proved to be one of the most remark able sucesses. He faced exceedinglv discouraging conditions. The working men and women were against him be cause they believed he had been brought there by rich mill owners to soothe their discontent with religion. News papers in Paterson and New York were hostile and several New York ministers actively denounced him. His opening meetings were failures. He preached, in the beginning, almost to emptv benches, and for a week there was not a convert. The audiences were cold and unresponsive. The New York news papers predicted that Billy Sunday had met his Waterloo at last. With failure staring him in the face "Billy" pitched In all the harder. He shouted in defiance to his audiences: "I'll get you. You'll hit the trail all right before I am done." And they did, too. A New York newspaper reporter was among the first who hit the trail. And thev began coming in hundreds. He preached three times a day for seven weeks to 776,000 persons. Two hundred meetings were held in the factories, and 5,000 praver meetings in private houses. Two hun dred Bible classes were organized. There were 14,950 converts, a great many of them factory girls. The last day of his preaching 35,000 persons heard him. 2,090 professed conversion, and they gave him $24,000 an a free will offering, while Sunday lay across his pulpit, worn to a frazzle," as he said. A newspaper gives this aecount of hi* leavetaking: The evangelist, guarded by two de tectives, ten bluecoats and hla trainer. Cardiff, fought their way through a surging crowd and departed, for the last time, from the tabernacle. For two blocks outside thousands stood, waving hats and handkerchiefs, and cheered him. Inside the building the scenes had been wildv enthusiastic. Men and women had climbed the nine benches shouting, "Good-by, 'Billy!' God bless you!" A man who can win that kind of a fight deserves success. Sunday and his wife and children are on their ranch in the Hood River Val ley of Oregon to rest all summer and fet in condition for the campaign this all and winter, beginning in Omaha in September.

Possibly the adverb used by Mr. Gregory was "doubtfully." No case of this magnitude ever prosecuted under the Sherman act was In a more doubt ful condition for appeal.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH fMtla U r f > tKKQyt*xa.yua, By the Ex-Oonmlttwmta Presence here to-day of County Commissioner J. Denny O'Nell, the leader of the Brumbaugh forces in Western Pennsylvania, in the local op tion campaign, aroused general Inter est among people at the Capitol. He was accompanied by Representative J. W. Vickerman, of Bellevue. who re ported out the local option bill and who was the first aid to Repreeentative George W. Williams on the floor. The Rev. G. W. Shelton. a prominent Pltta burgher and local option crusader, also came here to-day. It is understood that the three, to gether with others, will talk to the Governor this week about the prelimi nary organisation of the local option campaign for next year, having been busy since the Legislature adjourned in getting a line on conditions. Mr. Vickerman has made a number of addresses In which he urged imme diate organization. Mr. O'Nell Is a candidate for re election as county commissioner of Allegheny county and will make a strenuous fight. The Governor, who is a close personal friend of Mr. O'Xell, Is presumed to be naturally much In terested in his success. Congressman Vare and City Chair man David H. Lane had a talk over Philadelphia politics at Atlantlo City yesterday and set the whole political circle in Philadelphia talking. One of the latest stories is that William Findlay Brown, brother of the Attor ney General, may be a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor of Philadelphia. ,He is now an assist ant district attorney and is much ad mired by the Vare brothers. T. A. Evans, well known here as the burgess of Phoenixville. is a candidate for recorder of deeds of Chester county. Ex-Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer passed out as a« official of the na tional Democratic committee on Satur day. Thomas Lynch, of Minnesota, succeeded him as member of the finance committee and other men will be chosen to take the places he held. Palmer will be a full-fledged judge in a day or so with no official political ties. One story is that James I. Blakslee, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, may be national committeeman from this State. —The final number of the Legisla tive Journal, containing the proceed ings of the last dav of the recent ses sion. which has just been issued, shows that the detailed report of the business of the two houses is 296 pages less than the Journal of the proceed ings of the session of 1918. The pro ceedings of the session of 1913 re quired 5493 pages and for 1915, 4198 pages. The figures are exclusive of the appendix which was the largest on record last session because of the numerous reports, and also of the in dex. The legislature of 191S remained in session until June 27 and that of 1915 adjourned on May 20. —Outside of selection of members of the State Agricultural Commission and some major appointments It is improbable that many appointments will be made In departments of the State government until the latter part of the month. Hundreds of applica tions are being received for positions which have not yet been created be cause the Governor has not acted upon bills and for those already established there are many more. The additional factory inspectors will not be an nounced for some time. —Ellwood Newhard, clerk of Le high quarter sessions for years, is out for the Republican nomination for sheriff in Lehigh. He Is planning to i make a lively canvass. —Democrats in Philadelphia and vicinity are looking forward to the conference on Thursday evening in the Democratic club of Philadelphia when policies will be discussed. It is expected that the reorganization chiefs will assemble and that State Chairman Morris, George W. Norris, Postmaster Thornton, Robert S. Rright and others will give their ideas on how the party should figure In Philadelphia elec tions. —According to the Philadelphia Press James E. Gorman Is likely to be the Democratic candidates for mayor of Philadelphia. —The Greene county commissioners who were arrested a week ago have been discharged by the Justice before whom the suit was brought. —Three candidates are out for the Republican nomination for district attorney in Montgomery county. They include J. A. Anderson, J. A. "Williams and J. H. Hendricks, all of whom have been connected with the official life of the county. —Nomination of Hyatt M.

ANOTHER SHOW CLOSED TFrom the Saturday Evening Post.[ The world's greatest show will be closed this summer, because the man agement, in a flt of aberration, is en gaged in tearing the place down, and some $200,000,000 of American coin, which usually jingles Into the box office between May and November, will have to find another destination. Some of it may even go into savings hanks. The show could not boast, as Barnum did, that its entire program might be viewed without blushes by young per sons of the tender sex, nor had It fol lowed his admirable example In ban ishing bunko steerers and thort-change artists from the premises. On moral grounds, in fact, it left much to be desired; yet It was a great show. As to the great cultural advantag«s that busy press agents have always claimed ort behalf of the show we have some doubts—not that the advantages are absent, but that they are probably not availed of to any such extent as the press agents would have us be lieve. Our notion Is that much more culture is obtainable with a good book on the bark porch than in galloping through the or the Vatican be tween IX o'clock and luncheon or doing Florence in three hours. When a man feels he has absorbed all the culture obtainable in this coun try and needs still more, we recom mend that he try baseball for a season.

She "replies. in substance, that if she arcidentally kills a few Americans who are Innocent "f offense toward her she will pay for them. The next step is to make her comprehend that we are not going to stand for "accidents" which can be prevented by observance of in ternational law. Trust President Wil son to do It. THE CARTOON OF THE DAY LIKELY THE FOUR GUNS THE SUBMARINE SAW —Br De Mar In I * 1»»I M |» I« J J DON'T SCOLD IF C FAIL IN THEIR EXAMINATIONS v ) THERE! Is something almost Incom prehensible In the relations be tween parents and children at certain times. One of these times Is after the school examinations, when the youngsters return with white faces to announce that they have not "passed." No parent should choose this occasion to scold and berate the child, and yet this is what usually occurs. Examination time is the most har rowing, nerve racking period In the whole school year. Children may have almost perfect recitations through the year and yet "flunk" an "exam." Their monthly reports may be excellent, but when they are put through the strain of preparing for "exams," then the trial of those days of having to answer questions which look Absolutely strange and unheard of fs too great for their young and sensitive nerves, and every bit of knowledge deserts the young students. Parents should be particularly tender and loving with their children through this nervous time. They may have for gotten how they felt in the same cir cumstances, but If their eyes are keen they will notice how it affects their youngsters. For a fortnight or so be fore the "finals' thrfy will notice the child will almost live in his books.

ROOSEVELT GETS A VINDICATION [From the Philadelphia Inquirer] A noteworthy feature of the opinion in which the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has Just decided that the United States bteel Corporation does not come with in the prohibitions of the Sherman act 18 the reference which it contains to the action taken for former President Roosevelt In the case of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. It will be recalled that during the height of the panic of 1907, when men's hearts were falling them for fear and no one knew what disastrous thing might happen next, certain Influential financiers of New York city journeyed to Washington to ascertain from Pres ident Roosevelt whether he would feel constrained by his sense of official duty to oppose the acquisition by the United Htates Steel Corporation of a control ling Interest In the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. It was explained to him that this transaction would greatly re lieve the pressure on a tottering mar ket. and that It promised to avert a financial catastrophe of disastrous pro portions. Mr. Roosevelt, having consulted his Attorney General upon the subject and having been affirmatively advised. gave his assent, and he has been roundly abused by all kinds of demagogues and loose thinkers for having done so ever since. Personally, he has constantly Insisted not only that he was abso lutely justified in what he did. but that he would have been delinquent In his duty to the country had he done any thing else. Moat sensible and fair minded persons who are acquainted with the facts have always entertained the same opinion, and they will be gratified to know that their view has now been Judicially approved. The truth is that in this connection President Roosevelt rendered a most valuable service to the country and merited commendation rather than censure. Although he must have fore seen the adverse criticism which his action would elicit, he had the courage to do what he knew to be right. It is not an over-common virtue among the men who make our laws and do .our Iffovernins. JUNE 7, 1915. the child falls to receive a passing mark? Isn't such a result quite nat ural after r period of ever-increasing dread and fear? But to heap reproaches on the youngster's head, to punish him for his Inability to pass, this Is cruelty. There Is no time when he needs love and sympathy so much as then. If the monthly reports have been good. the parents at least should not Judge the child by his examination pa pers. The regular dally work Is of more value than one annual paper. The parents of school children can do much to make this time of dread a little easier. If they will only try. The mother should see to it that the youngster's sleep and dallv exercise are not Interrupted in the least. Tf the c .U? to take his arithmetic along U IJ 7 or hour, the mother should be quite firm in her denial, no matter how much he may plead. If he begs to stay up an hour later, she should not allow It.

Girl of 17 Tells Why She Shot Her Lover . ■ • | ■P |l| IDA RIEHL Ida Dlehl, aged 17, of Philadelphia, who shot and killed Edmond Haup ftihrer, 20 years old, because he re fused to marry her and assume the parentage of her unborn child, has been sent to the Philadelphia hospital for observation and care. Miss Rlehl, who had for several weeks been pleading with Haupt fuhrer to take her as his wife, started | out Saturday night to make the final attempt—with the aid of a revolver. This Is what the girl, pale and trem bling, said to the Governor: "My heart was breaking and I was ready to go down on my knees to him, but, he spat ln my face. I took the' pistol only to scare him. I don't know what happened afterward. I only know that I was running and that I wanted to run to the end of the world. Then people grabbed me and almost tore my clothes away. Then they brought me here." Miss Riehl explained that she first met Hauptfuhrer about a year ago. He took her out automohiling and soon expressed his love for her. "He said that he loved me," she went on. "That he would never love anyone else as long as he lived and that he would soon marry me. I be lieved him of course. Why shouldn't X believe the man I loved?" iEbetting CMjat I X > "wz*-, jHRg^B Dr. B. Franklin Royer, chief medl cal Inspector of the Department of Health, who was elected president of the Jefferson College Alumni Associa tion at Philadelphia Friday, is being congratulated by many medical men not only In this State but In others for there are "Jeff" men to be found all over the country. Dr. Royer is the first official connected with the present State health administration to be hon ored and he was warmly complimented at the Capitol, Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon being among those to tender congratulations. Dr. Royer is a son of Franklin county and received his pre liminary education In Its schools. Ha likes to go back to the county and to enjoy riding through Its valleys. Dr. Royer has been connected with tha Department of Health since shortly after its organization, coming here from Philadelphia where he had taken charge of Important work In munici pal health service. Two of Pennsylvania's former gover nors were in Harrisburg on Saturday. William A. Stone came here from Pittsburgh for a few hours' legal busi ness and John K. Tener came up from Philadelphia to play some golf and to meet old friends. Governor Tener's visit was a surprise.
