OYLER brought a live black bear back with him from a Virginia hunting trip last week. What to do With the bear is now a problem that Mr. Oyler must solve. Very likely It will go to en large the zoo at Paxtang Park. Where it ought to go, and where it unques tionably would go if quarters were available, is Wildwood Park. One of the next steps in our park development should be provisions for the creation of a zoo in the Wildwood district. The State has provided the city with a museum that contains in mounted form most of the animal life of the State. As the Capital City we (should have a representation of the animal life of the Commonwealth in the flesh, and Wildwood Park, being precisely what its name implies, would be an a*, lirable place in which to quarter such wild life as could be made to thrive there amid conditions as nearly like those of the natural habitat as possible. By all means let us have a Wildwood zoo. YOUR MEASURE IN an address before a men's Bible class of 275 yesterday afternoon at the Derry Street United Brethren Church on the Hill, O. P. Beckley, one of the leading laymen in the Harris burg church world, declared that "a man can get his real measure in his own home more quickly than in any other place." Here's something to think about. Have you ever tried to "get your measure" while sitting by your own fireside? Most men when consider-, lng their "bigness,"- their degree of success, look to achievements in the business or the social world. Few consider whether or not they are "big men" in their own homes. How about you? When things go wrong, do you fly into a temper and a rage, or do you act with that consid eration, that love, that affection which Is the mark of a really big man? How »re you on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day and the other days of hurry and worry and bustle? Do you go home in the evening with kind words and a cheery smile for wife and family; | or do you go home with a grouch ? No matter how successful you may be in the business world, how promi nent in the social life of the commun ity, if you are not a "big" man In your home—big in the eyes of those who know you best—your "measure" is Email; you are little, not J>ig. TDLE MEN—IDLE LAND THE Portland, Ore., Chamber of j Commerce is seeking "a prac tical solution of the problem of placing idle men on idle lands." Cer tainly a great problem and worthy of study, but no one remedy will be com plete. There are many things that would help, and all combined would go far to bring idle men and idle land together. For one thing, every effort should be made to make farming profitable. No man likes to go Into an occupation which .calls for the labor of himself, his wife and his chil dren unless he sees strong probabil ity of fair compensation. There have been some happenings In the last two years that ought to shake the confidence of the American people in the permanency of profitable agri culture. For instance, the enactment of the Democratic tariff law promptly closed beet sugar factories and put the sugar beet growers out of business. Canadian and Mexican and South American stockmen began shipping cattle into the American market, cut ting the American farmer's price. Argentine corn was sold in Illinois. Chinese eggs flooded Pacific coast mar kets. Dairy products began to pour In from Australia and Europe. The war put a stop to most of this com petition, but the importations had as sumed a sufficient magnitude to make any cautious man hesitate to go Into farming unles he was reasonably confi dent of the continuation of war or the restoration of a protective tariff. There is no probability whatever that foreign producers will be able, even under free trade, to seize Amer ican markets completely and destroy, MONDAY EV7LNING, American production. What they cap and will do is cut the price the American farmer receives and make farming unprofitable. That means more idle men and more Idle land. Chambers of Commerce that are In real earnest about diminishing Instead of Increasing Idleness of men and land In this country will do well to dis cuss this question of foreign Importa tion from an economic standpoint, even if it is associated with politics. | It is all very well for Chambers of ! Commerce to avoid political questions | relating to individuals, but this ques j tion of getting idle men upon Idle land jin Ami -lea is something more than I politics. especially when existing | American legislation tends to put busy men on busy land In China, Canada, i Argentine, Australia arid other coun tries. NON-PARTIS ANISM BECAUSE Messrs. Bowman, Lynch and Taylor have chosen ever since their election two years ago to confess their allegiance to the j Republican party, rather than mas i querade beneath a cloak of deception, Messrs. Royal and Gorgas, the two | Democratic members of city council I and their newspaper mouthpiece, have accused them of not being in full ac cord with the spirit of the nonpartisan law under which they were elected. At every turn the Republican mem bers were charged with "playing politics." Whatever they did, no matter how commendable, they were 1 "playing politics." Mayor Royal used to shed tears of sorrow for them until the blotter on top of his desk was soaked. Mr. Gorgas looked as though he had just returned from the funeral of a life-long and much-loved friend every time a vote was taken, and their newspaper supporter shrieked the dis grace of it in ear-piercing walls from the housetops, at the same time as suring its readers that the little white washed arigels on the Democratic side of city council loved that nonpartisan clause with a devotion akin to that of a mother for her flrst-born. Now, far be it from us to accuse Messrs. Royal and Gorgas of shedding crocodile tears or their newspaper supporter of crying "thief, thief" to hide the depredations of Democrats, but, if they have been sincere, how comes it that Messrs. Royal and Gorgas, and their Democratic col league at the primaries, Mr. Copelin, each donated S2OO to Democratic! Chairman Howard Jones to assure them of the Democratic machine bosses' support for nomination? And if there was no Democratic machine slate for council, as we have been told, why was not some other Democrat out for council permitted to contribute to Chairman Jones? The truth is that Royal and Gorgas have been doing just what everybody has known all along they were doing —playing politics at every turn of their councilmanic career. Their whole course in council has been destructive, with the hope of bringing discredit to the Republican members, who have done the only constructive work accomplished in the past two years. The much-vaunted nonpartisanism of Royal and Gorgas Is of the kind that prompted them to donate S2OO each to Democratic Chairman Jones in order that they might continue to be the favorite candidates of the Demo cratic machine bosses. OUT WITH THE HYPHEN PRESIDENT WILSON and former President Roosevelt are alike in their views as to the necessity of ridding America of the hyphen as it applies to citizenship. On succeeding days this week the President and Col onel Roosevelt expressed themselves in public addresses on this subject in a manner that will be applauded by every true American. President Wilson did not over-draw the situation when he pronounced the issue in question the most vital which ,has engaged the attention of the peo ple since the wnr'of the rebellion. The American citizen who thinks of some other country first and his own nation second is not worthy of the franchises and privileges he enjoys and the sooner we kfiow him for what he is the better. The house divided against, itself must fall, and so with a nation. | There mast be drawn a line of sharp demarcation between the honest, true blue American citizen and the Judas Iscariot who lives off our bounty, pre tends the ties of brotherhood and | stands ready to sell us out at a moment's notice in behalf of a govern ment that has made It so uncomfort able at home that it drove him forth I to fare in a foreign land. We do not believe there Is any dangerous proportion of these poten tial traitors in this country. We do believe, however, that they are here in sufficient numbers to call for a declaration of principles. The time has come for a separation of the sheep from the goats. We cannot have this line-up too soon. No longer v/ill it be permissable for politicians to play for the "Italian vote," or the "Irish vote," or the "German vote." As Col onel Roosevelt .said, addressing the Knights of Columbus: For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish- American or an English-American is to be a traitor to American insti tutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the for eign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic. The American voter is that and no more. He cannot, be a German-Amer ican voter or an Irish-American I voter or any other kind of hyphenated! | voter. The law does not recognize 'such distinctions. He is either simply i |an American voter or he 4s no voter. Either we afe a people or we are a mere collection of strays and adven turers from many lands, living tem porarily on this continent, with our eyes, like those of Lot's wife, cast back whence we came. That we have these strays amongst us is at the bottom of the present trouble; that they are In anything like a majority nobody be lieves. And their numbers will be re duced to negligible proportions If the central government will deal promptly and vigorously with the trouble-mak ing diplomats and others who have been meddling too long in American afTairs. They, it will be found, have manufactured most of the hyphens. Banish them and with them will go the hyphens In surprising numbers. ""PFCKKOI^AHIA By the Ex-Committeeman Talk of Senator Boies Penrose as ■! possible chairman of the Republican national committee next year, which would mean that he would direct the next presidential campaign, has inter ested people from one end of the State to the other. The news that the Senator was being considered was ser.t out from Washington on Saturday and appears to be predicated upon the fr.ct | that National Chairman Charles D. Hilles does not want to undergo An other campaign with the further sup port that men of national influence hnve been impressed with the manner In which the Senator conducted his successful campaign in Pennsylvania against very heavy odds. The late Senator M. S. Quay was national chairman in 1888 when Benjamin Harrison was elected and Cleveland defeated for re-election on tariff issues, which are uppermost in the minds of many people to-day. —Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh and ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart will be speakers at the closing rallies In Philadelphia this month. They will speak for Thomas B. Smith for mayor. The announcement has caused much wailing among the alleged re formers and set the Democratic news papers off on another tangent. Mayor Blankenburg will come out on the stump for George D. Porter and the Franklin party will try the fantastic idea of an endless chain of postcards for their candidate. —Suffragists are commencing to liven up the campaign in both ends of the State and have started to hold meetings and do various things to make their cause stronger. Unques tionably the suffragists have gained very much In the last few weeks. —According to Norrlstown people Judge John Faber Mill, who was ap pointed judge in Montgomery by Gov ernor Tener, has gained immensely bv permitting opposition to him to get names on the ballot. The judge"'s re election is more of a cinch than ever. —The supreme court has ordered some recounting of Democratic ballots in Lackawanna in the contest over the county controller nomination. The judges had refused a hearing on the Durkln petition, but the court has ordered one. —D. Clarence Glbboney is out against Porter in Philadelphia in a red hot letter. He does not seem to be Impressed with his qualities as a reformer. —Congressman B. K. Focht, of Lewisburg will speak in the Fall cam paigns In New England States. He was asked to lend his aid in several districts. —Speaking at Pittsburgh on Satur day J. Denny' O'Neil, who lost the fight for renomination as Republican candidate for county commissioner on a platform of State-wide interest, said he would not run independent. . As to the future he said: "I believe my de feat will only tend to arouse the peo ple and hasten the end. Revolutions never move backward. All great steps forward come up from the common people. They can always be trusted to settle all great, questions right, once the issue is clearly understood. I ap preciate the confidence and good will of the thousands of voters who have signed petitions requesting me to run for commissioner at the November election, hut I am sure it would be a mistake for me to do so, as a move ment is now under way to clean up this State and wrest political control from the 'booze barons' and their al lies. and. under these circumstances, I believe it is my dirty to devote my time and energy to advancing this move ment. I have no intention of retiring from active politics. I have enlisted for the war. and if no other candi date is willing to go before the peo ple anil make a State-wide fight for the principles for which T stand. I will, at the proper time, afinounce my can didacy for such an office as will give the people of this great State an op portunity to express their will on the most important question now before the American people, a question that will continue to be before the people until they finally settle It." A Sunhury dispatch on the North umberland County Republican situa tion says: "From all sides committee men are sending reports to headquar ters here announcing more activity than ever in the party ranks. Chair man J. Trvin Steel is very hopeful, ow irfg to the way things look.'ns are all the candidates. Some of them are old-time camnaigners and say * thev are quite positive the country will go largely Republican next month. The liveliest kind of a contest is "being conducted by Sheriff John' Glass, Re publican, to jump into the treasurer ship. the best kind of an office In the county. He was chosen Sheriff four years ago and proved so popular that his friends prevailed on him to try and land the treasurershlp. He Is be ing opnosed by former Justice of the Peace J. P.

Haskin ' SO much has been written about the elimination of malaria on the Canal Zone by the de struction of the mosquitoes, one might jvell get the impression that the Panamanian mosquito is practically extinct. There could be no greater mistake. The Health Department of the Canal Government wages an in cessant war upon mosquitoes, and In all probability will do so as long as white men inhabit the Isthmus. The most important lesson of experience at Panama has been that eternal mos quito hunting is the price of a low rate of malaria. The scientific thoroughness with which the mosquito is hunted out and destroyed at Panama is almost in credible to the layman. A typical item in a Panama paper relates that a mosquito alarm was sent to the health department from Las Sabanas, which might be described as the slums of Panama. Forthwith, six mosquito hunters responded to the call, armed with brilliant acetylene lights and | chloroform. After a thorough search of the suspected house, a single rnos l quito was captured alive and removed ;to the laboratory to have its age, sex (and species determined. Nowhere else j in the world is a single mosquito the [ object of so much thought and solicl | tude. Most of the mosquito hunters of !the health department are West In ! dian blacks, the men who dug the I canal and who are now doing most of the work of keeping it in operation. ! These clever negroes have learned to identify the dangerous species of mos | quito as well as any scientist could, •while some of them are sufficiently I skillful in the use of instruments to make a microscopic examination of blood for traces of malaria. Destroy Breeding Places The basis of the campaign against mosquitoes is now, as it always has (ril e State From Day to Day] «- ■» Ex-Senator John E.

Governor Brum baugh will be among those present. Health Commissioner Dixon says that gardening is more healthful exer cise than golf. Perhaps it is along practical and aesthetic lines, but who of tlu ancient order of long distance walkers would ever think of sacrificing the chance to grind Colonel Bogey in the dust for the pleasure of grubbing beautiful flowers and toothsome vege tables? "Suburban Bargain Day'' held sway in Easton, Saturday, and many and won derful wire the bargains sought out by wild-eyed hunters.

However, a young Lewlstown man received both these af fronts, but is now convalescing. Pennsylvania Day will be celebrated at State College on November 5. Plans are being perfected for the largest and most interesting observance of the day that Penn State has ever attempted. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion, of Johnstown, harbored ghostly visitations on Saturday when Dr. Krebs gave a lecture on the mysteries of the seance room. Interested ladies will flock to Wllkes- Barre to-morrow, on the occasion of the annual convention of the State Federation of Women, to last for three days. Mrs. William Jennings Bryan will speak on "The Rural Home and Churcn." A homesick miss out in Pittsburgh wanted a good husband and enlisted the sympathetic aid of the mayor of that city. The mayor straightway published a letter extolling the charms of the fair maiden. "I am the man for that girl." was the emphatic statement made by Mr. Sanders, or Lancaster, after .reading the letter. And now the L>an- OCTOBER 18, 1915 been, the destruction of their breeding places. Along the edge of Gatun Lake all of the bushes and grass are cut, so that there will be no shelter for the mosquito larvae, and so that the small fish can get in and eat them up. Sev eral crews of men are kept busy at this work. There are large swamps near Colon and Mount Hope which have given much trouble to the health depart ment in the past, but these are now being permanently dry-filled at a cost of SIOO,OOO. Meantime, the brush and grass are being cut around their edges and the shallow water covered with oil. This same treatment of removing shelter, and oiling of waters where the mosquitoes might breed, is ap plied to every puddle and drain and creek within 500 yards of every house on the Canal Zone. A mosquito sel dom travels more than five hundred yards in his lifetime, so that distance from any bouse Is the zone of safety. A new generation of mosquitoes, how e'ver, is born and brought to maturity every seven to ten days, so that the whole process must be done all over again at least once a week. Every tropical shower creates new puddles | and runs which might form breeding | places. The native Panamanians give little co-operation to the health department In its war upon tropical diseases. These people believe that they them selves are immune to malaria and yel ! low fever, and that the destruction of i these diseases means the coming of [more, white men, bringing competition and change, which are two things they do not desire. Health department offi cials say'that the natives are un doubtedly mistaken in the belief that ♦ hey are immune to malaria.

One of the to-be-expected incidents which always follow a big event like the world series amused Phlladelphians who happened to be passing City Hall at the noon hour, several days ago.

FATHER KNI< KKKIHH KKR'S JOV RIDEHB [From the New York Sun.] The streets are filled with eminent municipal functionaries riding about In motorcars for wjilch the taxpay ers who dodge them pay. Fortunate jobholders step from the doorways of their apartment houses into lux urious limousines, which whisk them off to their comfortable offices while their proprietors use shanks' mare or suffocate in the subway. The evil is as old as practicable au tomobiles, as notorious as the crooked ness of a corkscrew. Year after year it has been shown up. and its expense to the rent payers has been made known. The Impropriety and waste of the practice have been thoroughly ad vertised. Yet it has been endured, along with a number of other petty abuses, because nobody cared seriously to assail It. Mayor Mltchel's special committee now recommends a radical change In the management of the city's vehicles. It would have a central garage, a check system to limit joyriding, a record of why and where Father Knickerbocker's devil wagons go. A sound and sensible reform; it has often been proposed be fore and never adopted. Can we now expect to see it put through? , whih ■ ■—mi ■i ■ 'MBagßßasaß—^i Abetting (Eljatj The activity evinced in preparation tor the third annual Industrial Wel fare and Efficiency Conference to be held at the Capitol a month hence recalls the Immediate success of the first conference held in the State House two years ago. The conferent® was conceived by men prominent in the Engineers' Society of nla. which has become one of the mo* influential organizations of the kind In the country, and was a sort of out growth of the annual conventions of the society which were held half a dozen.or so years ago. Governor John K. Tener opened the first conference with high complinients for what engi neers are doing and subsequently ex pressed to the late George S. Com slock, who was president of the society that year, that ho was delighted with (he interest shown by the public, the newspapers and the various organ izations in the deliberations. The so ciety made Governor Tener its first honorary member in recognition of what he had done for engineering ad vancement. This year the society and the departments of the State govern ment have gotten into close co operation in arranging for the discus sions. The Journal of the Engineers' Society, the official publication Which has been calling attention to the com ing meetings, says of the conference to be held shortly: "The success of the first two conferences, 1913 and 1914, was so great that this year the Governor of Pennsylvania. Hon. Mar tin G. Brumbaugh, has called upon all of the departments of the State gov ernment having engineering divisions or dealing directly with engineers and Industrial men of the State to partici pate in the 1915 conference. The pre vious conferences were directly par ticipated in only by the Department of Labor and Industry and the subjects tinder discussion were principally those dealing with factory operation. The third conference will not only bring together the large number of engineers and other attaches of the various State departments, but an invitation will be issued by the Governor to the engi neers and manufacturers throughout! the entire state to attend the confer ence and to discuss with State officials engineering and industrail questions through which they are brought Into contact." * » • •George M.
