THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14 But far be it from me to glory, save m the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been cru cified unto me, and I unto the world.— Gal. 6:14- DON'T HANDLE MEATS IT Is up to you, Mr. and Mrs. Har rlsburger, to co-operate with the meat dealers In the shops and market houses of this city, who are threatened with prosecution if they fall to comply with the new meat hygiene law. One of the provisions of this new law is that prospective customers shall not be permitted to handle meats. The butcher is responsible if you are per mitted to touch his products and you should not do anything which will lay him open to prosecution. It is rather embarrassing for the merchant to be constantly telling his patrons that they must not do thus and so, and that Is why in the past many meat dealers have permitted the dirty habit of meat handling to be continued. If you will but think the matter over you certainly will conclude that you would not like to eat meat that ha* been handled by some other per son's dirty fingers. Neither is anyone else anxious to eat the food that you have handled. Everyone should remember that disease and its attendant miseries is often directly traceable to germ-laden meat products and should therefore refrain from the breaking of the sane hygiene ruling recently passed. The butchers can be depended upon to do their part if you will do yours. Strange how "het up" our Demo cratic bosses become over campaign contributions from officeholders and others when the officeholders do not happen to be of their own crowd. They have evidently forgotten all about the rather scandalous passing of the hat by the chairman of the Democratic State committee a year ago. when he ap pealed for contributions from the head of the State Liquor League at the same time his party was pretending to rep resent the local option forces of the Commonwealth. MTNICTPAL GOVERNMENT THERE has recently been issued by the Chamber of Commerce at Norfolk a report showing the results of an investigation of various city governments, especially with a view of finding out just how the com mission form has solved the problems of the several municipalities that have adopted or been compelled to adopt this Bj'stem of administration. Norfolk was looking toward a simplified and business form of gov ernment and the Investigations of the charter commission were conducted with a view to discovering the best in all the municipal systems which were studied. As a consequence of two months of careful study the commis sion recommended a new charter, es pecially drawn for Norfolk and adapted to that city's needs. Three petitions were prepared for three dif ferent forms of government under the optional charter act and these peti tions were circulated among the people for signatures. A subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce continued the investiga tions of the main charter commission and its findings are of interest in view of the adoption of the commission form of government in Harrisburg and elsewhere In Pennsylvania. While the commission form is regarded at Nor folk as a distinct improvement over the old type there are very few who express unqualified approval of it. Most people seem to think that the plan lacks administrative unity and harmony; that conflicts of more or less serious character between depart ments are bound to arise. Particular attention is called to the fact that the Legislature of lowa at its last session •nacted a law giving commission governed cities of that State the right to modify their plan by popular vote ■o as to provide for a city manager. It was discovered that Memphis had a commission government of a certain form which had existed since 1879, tba city having worked out a charter for itself. With a strong and virile mayor the conditions were reported as admirable because of the team work of the departments which worked to THURSDAY EVENING, gather harmoniously. There appeared to be among the whole force nn en thusiasm for good government. The Norfolk committee concludes that the efficient administration now enjoyed by Memphis is not to be credited to commission government alone, but to the supervision of a strong mayor who is invested by the charter with supervisory power over all departments, "which differentiates the Memphis government from ordi nary commission government." At Memphis the inherent weakness of the ordinary commission government has been in a measure overcome by the personal influence of Mayor Crump and it would appear that such a gov ernment depends more or less upon the character and ability of the man who happens for the time being to be mayor. After all is said and done, the suc cess of any city administration de pends not upon the system of govern ment, but rests almost entirely upon the character and ability and public spirit of those who administer its af fairs, Dayton Is trying out the city manager form of government whero one official Is practically the controll ing spirit and influence of the ad ministration. It is pointed out by the Norfolk ccmmittee that as a result of Dayton's management many economies have been practiced and large improvements made out of the current revenues. In many of the cities of Germany a similar plan is in operation and it is not unusual for a man who qualifies as an efficient mayor of one city to be offered a larger salary by another to secure his services. Harrlsburg Is now going through the experimental stages of the com mission form of government. It re mains to be seen whether the change from the old system to the new is going to be a benefit or a detriment. It Is certain, however, that our own people, alive to our advantages and the progress already made, must not lose sight of the fact that In all the cities that are now working out their own salvation men of experience are being retained in public positions; the old Idea of rotation In office Is gener ally discarded. This city has done quite well during the first two years of the commission government and Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and Taylor have much to their credit in the achievements of the last two years. Fair play and a proper appreciation of these officials should animate the voters in the approaching election. ! More power to the City Planning | Commission in its comprehensive plans : for a greater Harrisburg. It will have the support of public sentiment and public co-operation. It cannot too soon undertake the establishing of great radial highways into the surrounding I country and the control of the river basin on both sides. COX FUSING THE VOTERS AS a result of the wave of reform hysteria that swept over Penn sylvania some few years ago there are on the statute books of the Commonwealth quite a number of laws that ought never to have been written and others good enough in their in tentions that are so confusing as to be worse than worthless. Consider the 50 per cent, clauses of the judicial and municipal acts of 1911 and 1913 respectively as amended by the Legislature of the present year. The attorney general has ruled three ways in three different requests for construction of the clajse as it applies to the Superior Court, in districts where two or more judges are to be elected and in districts where but one judge is to be chosen. In two in stances his interpretation of the law has been so unsatisfactory to certain of the candidates that they have filed suits in court in an attempt to reverse his decision, and their arguments as presented and without careful analy sis appear not without reason. County Solicitor Ott has ruled in quite another fashion on the 50 per cent, clause as it applies to third | class cities and whether or not his construction of law would stand in court nobody knows. The more one reads the acts in question the more confused he becomes. If a careful and painstaking effort had been made to construct them so as' to make their language ambiguous and their provi sions uncertain the result could not > have been more confusing. Instead of simplifying the process of voting these laws have so complicated the selection of judges and city officials that even skilled lawyers are puzzled as to just what the laws do provtde in that re spect. The whole situation is the result of a legislative frenzy for change—reform is not the word—and of the meddling of amateurs and theorists with things they know little about. Some of these days we will awake as a people to the understanding that the fewer frills and furbelows with which we decorate our election laws the more easily It is for the people to express their will. The casting of the ballot was never meant to be an elaborate ceremony. The making of a complicated process of what ought to be a very simple act is destined to defeat the very ends which those who have been back of recent efforts to amend the election laws have heralded as their purpose. Wisconsin has Just celebrated cheese day. If this thing keeps up we shall expect Boston to come forward with a bean day. Philadelphia with a scrappel day, Reading with a pretzel day and Allentown with a peanut day. As for Harrisburg. we're willing to struggle along under the reputation of being famous for all manner of good things. A MUNICIPAL BUILDING PRACTICALLY all the depart ments of the city government of Hartford, one of the progressive cities of the country, are now housed under one roof for the first time in many years. A handsome granite building is occupied by executive offices and departmental officials, the scattered units of the municipal family at last coming together. Conditions had existed at Hartford such as now exist here and the time must come when the departments of our own municipal government will be] housed under one roof. Several at tempts have been made in this dlrec-' tion without success, but with the broadened vision of the city the necessity for concentrating the offices for the convenience of the people and efficiency of administration in a raunci pal building must be apparent to all. Hartford has spent for this purpose $1,400,000 in addition to the site which cost $170,000 and the furnishings SIOO,OOO additional. Hartford has also the Hotel Bond, a splendid building with modern equipment, comfortable and airy rooms and convenient to all points of Interest. With the activity of our Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the other organiza tions of the city the new hotel for Harrlsburg is also a promising pros pect. The war is having its effect on fash ions. but who ever told the style de signers that a soldier wears fur around his boot-tops? folU U ""Ptwtsuiaa.)ua By the Ex-Committeeman ll ■■ ■ ' i =-* Allegheny county's muddle over Re publican nominations is getting to the point where independent movements will be started to have the candidates Involved fight It out. It is probable that Kirker and Johns, the candidates for prothonotary, will be named by friends and the battle settled. Whether J. Denny O'Neil will run for com missioner as an independent will be settled to-night. Fourteen additional appeals were filed In Common Pleas court by David B. Johns, from the recount of the county commissioners. Kirker has also filed appeals. The at tention of the county commissioners was called to the fact that the legal right of accused members of election boards to serve and tabulate the vote which would be cast at the regular election November 2 was raised. The opinion of virtually all of the county officers asked on the matter was that their right to serve cannot be ques tioned, except in cases where convic tions are secured on confessions made before the election. Probing Into the recent election continues under the direction of Judges John D. Shafer and John A. Evans in Common Pleas courts who showed their displeasure at the way the hearing lagged. "You will have to move more rapidly," Judge Evans said to counsel. "We have made little progress here." That the elec tion board In the first precinct of Wilkinsburg gave voters ballots who were not registered previous to pri mary day, and permitted them to vote as charged by Johns was admitted by members of the board. —Simon H. Sell, the Bedford county candidate for the president Judgeship of the Bedford - Huntingdon - Mifflin district, who met defeat at the recent primaries, has made a public declara tion in favor of the re-election of Judge Joseph M. Woods. —Only a few hundred persons took advantage yesterday of the amend ment to the personal registration act, provided by the last Legislature, to qualify for the election in' Philadel phia. The Legislature had amended the act so that persons purchasing a poll-tax receipt up to October 2 were entitled to vote, provided that they had an excuse for not qualifying at the regular registration days. The Registration Commissioners set aside yesterday as a special day for the hearing of these cases, but few per sons appeared to thus qualify. Xmong those placed on the lists by the Regis tration Commissioners yesterday were ex-Chief Justice D. Newlln Fell, of the supreme court of Pennsylvania and Judge William H. Staake. —Mayor Blankenburg is taking seriously, from all accounts, the "dis covery" by George D. Porter, his can didate for mayor, that there was a "plot" to sell the Philadelphia city water works. This is very much like some of the "discoveries' made by the Democratic State machine sleuths last Fall. The voters of the State ap praised them very nicely. —Quite in striking contrast to the disorganized condition of the Demo crats, the Republicans of Lackawanna county have been working out a plan for effective work at the election. The Republicans are united under County Chairman Herbert L. Taylor and have opened headquarters in Scranton from which to push their fight. —The Montgomery county Republi can campaign opened up last night with meetings at Glenside and things look very well for the success of the whole Republican ticket. —Allentown is considerably stirred up by the charges made about the way city finances are being administered and there will be a Taxpayers' League formed. Charges are now being made about the assessments and it is also alleged that playgrounds are being overdone. —Recounts of votes for local offices have been forced in a number of counties in the eastern part of the Stute. They show numerous errors on rural boards. Apparently a school for election officers is needed In a few places. —Leonard Harrison, prominent Tioga man, has taken charge of the work of the citizens' campaign for the re-election of Judge David Cameron. The committee is trying to secure ora tors of national repute. Attempt is being made to have Representative Hobson of Alabama, or some other as noted speaker come here for a series of meetings. According to accounts filed with the prothonotary, the pri mary expenses of the leading candi dates for judge were as follows: S. I<\ Channell, $2,139.80; T. A. Critchton, $1,324.62; David Cameron, $655.22, and F. H. Rockwell, $491.72. Cameron and Channell are the nominees. —County Controller Hendershot, of Luzerne county refuses to pay the salary increases provided for chief deputies in county offices by the last Legislature unless forced to do so by court opinion. Controller Hendershot takes the stand that a salary Increase authorized by the Legislature does not apply to clerks in offices at the time that the increase was allowed. The clerks will carry the case to court. I*l.L USB THE OLD ONE By Wing Dinger I nesd a new golf bag. And one caught my eye That suited my fancy As I hurried by A store window last week.

Haskin L. ' J THE striking fact about Panama Canal shipping: during its first year is that traffic between American ports has been the biggest part of it. The great waterway Is primarily a new route for the domes tic commerce of the United States. But it is something far bigger and more important than that. It is a stimulus to American commerce in American vessels which is doing more to solve the vexed questions of our diminishing merchant marine than anything that has happened in a cen tury. These are the figures that tell the story. During the eight months of the operation of the canal the commerce carried from the Atlantic coast ports of the United States to those of the Pacific amounted in round numbers to 46,000,000 tons. That carried back from the west coast to the east was 43,000,000 tons. The total foreign commerce passing through the cr.nal, both east and west bound was only about 45,000,000 tons. Significant Is the fact that this com merce between the two coasts of the United States includes almost all of the commodities carried by the trans continental railroads. Steel is the leading article of west-bound com merce, with textiles, leather, wood, copper and paper coming next. In return for these things the Pacific Coast ports have sent back canned fruit and tlsh, lumber, wine, pineap ples, sugar and ores. These figures, however, give no idea of the actual variety of the commerce transacted between the two great f The State From Day to Day ] v ■» The Punxsutawney Spirit, apropos of something or other about which we know nothing, observes sagely that a good many men do not seem to have any skylights in their heads, but the light permeates from the sides. « # * When Luderus circled the bases in the fourth inning yesterday the Phila delphia fans uttered a roar thut could be heard to Coatesville and beyond, but when Hooper duplicated the per formance with a man on in the eighth and cinched the world's championship for the Red Sox all Southeastern Penn sylvania trembled with the shock. » • • "Dementia Praecox Catatonic Forms: Differentiation from Manic Depressivo Psychosis" was the subject treated by one of the M.

Here aro some of the things listed in the cargo of a vessel passing through the canal on its way from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco: Battery cells, caustic soda, olives, chemicals, earth enware, glassware, lard, liquors, struc tural steel, machinery, refined pe troleum, vegetable oils paint, paper and paperware, pianos, rubber goods, salt, soap, stamped ware, textiles, to baco, woodenware, marble, starch and thread. The declaration was finished with "Balance, 1,189 tons, in small lots of various articles." Much Cheaper A glance at the origin of this im mense and varied cargo Is still more illuminating. It reveals the fact that cargo from points as far west as Orrtaha, Minneapolis and Grand Rap- Ids was going to the Pacific Coast by way of the Panama Canal. These shippers find it cheaper to send goods to an Atlantic Coast port, through the canal and up the Pacific Coast, than to make the comparatively short haul from Omaha or Grand Rapids to a Pacific Coast point. The Panama Canal traffic originat ing at Middle Western points Is, of course, a relatively small amount, but It is unquestionably a fact that the capal Is carrying a great amount and variety of commodities from interior points in the eastern United States to the Pacific Coast.

Palmer, the State's chief factory Inspector, who has attained fame as a football player In college days at Princeton, as a student of so cial problems and as an advocate of safety first, last and all the time, has added to his laurels. This time Mr. Palmer has gone some as a mountain climber. He has Just returned from a mingled business and pleasure trip to the Pacific coast and between stopping at State capitals and large cities to see how child labor and inspection laws were administered and to talk high brow stuff to the leading lights, hfe found time to go up Mt. Tacoma. The < mountain is between 14,000 and 15.- 000 foet high and is the second high est In the United States. Mr. Palmer viewed it from Tacoma and deter mined to go up. There are some peo ple out that way who like the busi ness of going up and he united with them. Mr. Palmer remarked that "breaking up interference" was a lightsome task compared to certain phases of the climb up the mountain, but he said that the experience and view well repaid him for his exertions and liis hanging on by the toes and then by the nails in his ascent of the famous peak. During the present year the develop ment of the city's mercantile interests has been demonstrated In a number of interesting anniversaries. Harris burg has been fortunate in the char acter and energy and public spirit of its mercantile community.

Captain George C. Jack, commander of the Governor's Troop, is on a trip to the Pacific coast in which he is also making some observations of the or ganized militia and the military posts. Captain Jack has been given leave of absence until the middle of December so that he can take his time.
