GOING OET AND TELLING NEXT to Workmen's compensation there is nothing in the way of laws about to be enforced which effects and mystifies the average em ployer more than the so-called child labor or minor labor act. This measure, which was debated and talk ed over so much during the last ses sion, contains a feature known as the continuation school. This provides, stripped of educational terms, that minor employes under sixteen are to be given certain hours of schooling, the cost to he divided between the State and the employer. It is no secret that many employers j have regarded the continuation school feature with hostility and that the jobs of some juvenile workers, which amount to something in many families, are endangered. Acting on the theory that the employers of Jhe State did [ not understand what the law requires and that a good many of them thought the statute full of terrors, the State's liureau of Vocational Education start ed out to elucidate. It went on the assumption that it was time for the i-ducators to get down to brass tacks and explain how the act would oper ate. This law does not become ef f"ytive until New Year's day and yet 200.000 bulletins giving information how it will operate have been pre pared to send out, special agents have been "on the road" explaining to manufacturers what the law really! will require and. in short. meeting the [ employers half way. Prof. M. B. King, I who is in. charge of the vocational' education work, started in months ago ! to get ready for the task ahead of! hini and his missionaries are out tell ing about the law, using plain lan- . auagc and asking co-operation. Its a new way to go about things and, judging from reports, it has been get ting results. Heart to heart talks backed up by elbow grease, printers' ink and common sense can accomplish much. STROI'P'S CANDIDACY A FEW years ago. when District Attorney Michael E. Stroup was fighting the "loan sharks" in Harrisburg, he was the subject of com mendation by Democratic as well as Republican newspapers. Nothing was too good to say of him. To-day Mr. Stroup is a candidate for re-election. Do those Democratic newspapers, so fulsome with their praise only a brief titfie since, refresh the minds of the voters by repeating what they then »aid? Oh. no! Quite the opposite. They attack Stroup. besmirch his reputation and print what they must know Is not true of him. That's Democratic politics as played in Dauphin county. Fortunately for Mr. Stroup, the voters have learned to recognize the brand. WEST FAIR VIEW'S OPPORTUNITY THE centennial anniversary cele bration In which West Fairview has engaged during this week has displayed a type of civic spirit and ' tow n patriotism that promises to carry it very far in the days to come. Many a larger town might learn a lesson irom West Falrview's way of doing things. Men and women of the 'cross liver borough stood shoulder to shoul der in the common cause and gave the town a demonstration that has put It on the map all over Pennsylvania as one of the real live wire communities of this vicinity. One of the prime factors In the celebration was the fire department, ami it Is* noticeable that the firemen and the citizens' com mittees worked hand in hand with utmost harmony. Either would have been at a loss without the other. The celebration has been a great success and the time is now ripe for s perpetuation of the public improve ment spirit that has been so evident during the week. The Telegraph takes SATURDAY EVENING, i ■ the liberty of suggesting that this would be a good time to call a town inciting for the discussion of the river front treatment along the lines sug gested by Landscape Engineer Man ning. Harrisburg is spending thou sands of dollars on the decoration of its river front. West Shore towns that have their own interests at heart and who desire to'co-operate with this city in making beautiful the Susquehanna river basin at this point will take ad vantage of every opportunity to fur ther the general Improvement plan as formulated by the expert. West Falr- I view should be the town to initiate the J movement along the Cumberland side. SHILLY-SHALLYING THE shilly-shallying of the Wilson administration in the Mexican controversy has demonstrated conclusively the wavering and uncer tain character of the present national j authorities. j Having repudiated Huerta as one I whose hands were stained with blood j and therefore could not be recognized |by the United States, the President now throws the arms of friendship a round Carranza, who has established himself in power through the same methods which forced Huerta into exile. Thus the whirligig of national poli cies continues to spin around the myriad questions which confront the administration. Unfortunately for this country, the diplomats of the world look with contempt upon the drifting attitude of the Wilson administration in all the big matters which concern jhe welfare of the American people. It is not surprising that with one accord the sentiment of the public Is rising against the spineless conduct of affairs that has placed this nation in the most humiliating position possible before the world. KILLING PERSONAL LIBERTY FROM Washington comes the news that Wilsonian displeasure is to be visited 'upon Senator Clarke, of Arkansas. The senator was one of the seven Democrats who opposed the ship purchase bill.' and In other ways he showed an independence of the White House which /he President regards as next to treasonable. Now it Is proposed to turn Senator Clarke down as a candidate for re election as President pro tem. of the Senate and to give the place to Kern, ol Indiana. Mr. Wilson persists in dealing with all the world as though ho were lip against a class of college freshmen. Never have we had an ad | ministration which demanded so much j ir. the way of surrender of personal I opinion to that of the Executive. KEDITELD'S LATEST UNDKR the Constitution the in terpretation of laws is a function of the courts. Under the Wil son administration it is a function of any ministerial agent who sees fit to exercise It. The latest usurpation of this kind emanates from Secretary Redlield. who seeks to amend the sea man's act by interpreting out of it the language provision inserted by Con gress. He has just ruled that the sec tion requiring "cffii ers and crew to understand the same language does not mean what it says. I The crew may speak any language under the sun sa long as the officers have learned in that language the com mands necessary to direct them in t heir work or so long as the crew j understand the commands of the offi cer. whether they knew his language oi not. We are not disposed to criticise the conclusions which Mr. Redfield has reached. But the fact remains that it tr his business to enforce law. not to interpret it. I i Referring to the European war. Ken | tucky Democrats In State convention resolved that President Wilson's "mas tery of the situation" required his re nomination. "Mastery," Indeed! If watcbless waiting is "mastery," then we need some new writers of diction •aries, for present definitions give "mas tery" a meaning far different from that held by the Kentucky Democrats. If anybody has quit kickln' our houn' dog around, he did so of his own voli tion "nd not because of any "mastery of tue situation." WHERE CREDIT BELONGS IN some quarters, chiefly Democratic, the success of the loan made to France and England Is as a triumph for the federal reserve bank ing system. It really is nothing of the sort. The loan was made a success through the efforts and the ability of the bankers in New York, whom the federal reserve system was organized to injure. The McAdoo-Williams plans for tfie federal reserve system were made to destroy New York as a natural financial center. To accomplish this an unnatural division of the country was made and everything possible was done to hamper New York in main taining its financial supremacy. The success of the fban. therefore, is a triumph for New York finance in which Defnocratlc financial legislation has no share whatever. Pacific coast lumbermen are begin ning to feel slight improvement in conditions and are hoping for some thing better. Pity that lumber isn't In the class of materials needed by war ring nations. PRESIDENT BOWMAN IN the selection of a president for the coming year, thf Chamber of Commerce has mrfde admirable choice in the election of J. William Bowman, one of the live wires of the business community. Mr. Bowman has been Interested from the very start In the public im provement program and has served with great credit as a member of the Board of Public works, giving City Commissioner Lynch and those asso ciated in authority his cordial co operation throughout this important period of betterment. The Chamber of Commerce is cer tain to continue its useful . activities under the leadership of such men a* Henderson Gilbert and Mr. Bowman and the other active citizens who are identified with this Important organi i zatlon. r f > ollUc4 «C By the Ex-Committeeman It iti probable that some efforts to elect candidates for judge who fell short of the vote required to put them on the ballot as sole nominees will be made by means of stickers in several counties. Movements in favor of some aspirants have been started by their friends and by organizations which bid fair to make the closing week of the campaign lively. —ln Franklin county an attempt is i being made to have D. E. Long's name I put on the ballot by stickers for judge and several similar movements are under way in interior counties. The manner In which judges were elected two years ago In a couple of districts and the way some legislative slates were overturned last year has started people to thinking about the same plan. | —The name of the old Citizens par ity is being trotted out for use in a (local fight in Schuylkill county. The 'county will likely go Republican this year. —Mbntgomery county Republican leaders says that Indications are for a big old-fashioned Republican major ity. The candidates are making tours of all districts. —Congressman Dewalt in a speech at AUentowm vigorously defended President Wilson against an attack made by a • Philadelphia minister named Hess. Dewalt said that the I minister was preaching dangerous doc trines. —The shortcomings of the Blanken burg administration are being shown up in the Philadelphia campaign, and some unpleasant things which indicate that reformers were rather busy for their own political advantage are be ing revealed. —D. Clarence Gibboney has taken the stump against the Franklin party ticket in Philadelphia. —The Supreme Court's decision that Kirker is the nominee for prothono tar.v in Allegheny county and not David B. Johns appears to have ended the row. Johns has lined up for the ticket. —Senator Warren G. Harding said yesterday in Philadelphia that he ex pects to see Republicans sweep the country. —Bishop Berry, the head of the Methodist Church in this section, is out in a statement in which he de clares that it is a mistake to allow can didates for political offices to occupy pulpits. He <ays that members of churches and Bible classes should take e.n interest in politics, but that It should be as individuals. —Pittsburgh s-uffragists will have a parade again to show how they feel about the matter. They have had a series and this is to be a wind-up. The Philadelphia demonstration for suffrage last night included 10.000 persons, while lOU.OOO looked on. —At the State headquarters of the here very little is being 'said, but the increased activity of the workers in Itself is significant of the \igor and enthuasiasm with which they are preparing for the last stages iof the campaign. Their whole atti tude may be summed up in the terse reply which Miss Hannah J. Patter son. State chairman, of the Woman Suffrage party, made to a newspaper man who asked her if Pennsylvania women were discouraged by the Jersey defeat. "There are two words which art- not included in the vocabulary of Pennsylvania suffragists," she said. 'They are 'discouragement' and "de- | feat.' We have substituted for them 'work' and 'victory'." State officials here have been voic ing surprise that the consti tionality of the judicial nonpartisan act was not attacked on other grounds than those invoked in the court No. 2 case from Philadelphia as it provides not only for nominations of judges of courts of record, but of second class city officers as well. Whether these are two subjects no one has arisen to question, although the act is two and a half years old. It is the general be lief that either the attorney general will be asked to prepare some new* acts or else that there will be a movement ;for a commission to draft election I laws more generally based on prac tical experience and less theory. Un der an act passed by the last Legisla ture the attorney general may ar range with the State Legislative Refer ence Bureau for the drafting of anv codes which may be needed. The Bu reau is now working on several codes and could, if asked, draft some elec tion or ballot bills which could be sent out for discussion in advance of the Legislature as was done with the borough and other codes last year. OCTOBER LANDSCAPES I From the Kansas City Star.] II is hard to tell which month is the more beautiful. May or October; May with the new foliage transforming the landscape, or October with its gorgeous coloring and the autumnal haze on the distant hills. But now October holds the center of the stage, and those who care for the out of doors are amply rewarded by scenes that an impressionist artist might desire to transfer bodilv to his canvas. THE HONESTY OF HASEBAI.I, [From the Kansas City Times ] One great hold of professional base ball is its honesty. The idea never en tered a sensible head that the Red Sox "throw" the last game with the Phillies in order that the series would be prolonged for greater profit. The major leagues and the best of the minor leagues have kept the na tional game clean. They have made its keen rivalries the finest sort of exhi bitions of physical and moral stamina. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" THE BIBLE CONFERENCE* To the Editor of the Telegraph: I beg the privilege of a few lines in your columns as a medium of reaching a large audience. There has been held, for-some time iV our city, a series of Bible teaching conferences under the auspices of the "Monthly International Bible Confer ence." The men promoting* this work are among th« most energetic and faith ful spiritual workers In our several churches. They are evangelical and orthodox in their faith and as such are recognized and accepted by the churches to which they belong, Metho dist Episcopal. Presbyterian, Lutheran. Reformed. United Brethren, etc. I have attended many of these con ferences. Whether 1 agree or not. with all of the detail of teaching, I believe tliat the men being brought to this city are among the greatest.Bible ex positors of the world to-day. All Christians, certainly, and all others I hope, desire to know what the Bible teaches. | In these conferences much mav be learned as to matter, but Infinitely I more as to how to study and learn for oneself, and many new lines of Inquiry will be opened up. as to what this greatest of Books teaches. While the attendance Is good and in creasing. feeling that the large ma jority of our citizens do not know what they are missing and that per haps there may be a lack of knowl edge as to the trustworthiness of these meetings, I desire to personally go on record to the Harrisburg public as recommending these conferences. The next meetings, held this com ilng Monday and Tuesday, under the teaching of the' Rev. George E. Guile, of Chicago, will be a good time to sample tne spiritual food provided. Thanking you for your valued space, I am. Most cordially in Christian service. W. 11. DALLMAN. Harrisburg, October 2-', 1915. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH When a Feller Nee .

Mr. Debs is of the opinion that the book will "open a new lield and appeal to many who have hitherto avoided the study of socialism for the reason mainly that the literature that came to their hands failed to approach the subject from their point, of view."

Yes, whose THE PANAMA CA Xll.—The Panamanians By Frederic J. Haskin THE people of the Republic of Panama are divided sh&rply'lnto a ruling and a peon class. The ! great mercantile middle class, which .is the strength of all Anglo-Saxon ! communities, is conspicuously laclt j ing. Most of the land and cattle and | the larger business enterprises are I owned by the ruling class, while the j petty shop-keeping, tl]e clerking and | bookkeeping, is done by Chinamen, I Europeans, Jews and Jamaicans. I The aristocracy of Panama is a j class of which, in many respects, any {nation might be proud. It strongly ■ resembles . the society of our South- I ern States in the days of slavery. And, !in fact, its fundamental conditions i are very similar, for it is founded upon the ownership of land and the abso j lute control of a lower class. The i result here, as in the old South, has ! been to create a leisured people of | unusual culture and with a fine appre ciation of the pleasures of living. It is safe to say that there are sev | eral times as many persons in Panama | City who are masters of- three lan ! guages as you could find in any town ■ of the same size in the United States. There are also a great many more ; persons who hold university degrees. The Panamanian does not get his edu -1 cation at any half-baked university a hundred miles from home; for' there are no universities worthy of his at tention in Central or South America, i The typical Panamanian aristocrat ! has been educated in Belgium, Switz i erland, France or England. A young | Panamanian, who has decided upon the law as his profession, for example, i will probably be able to decorate the wall of his office with the degree of j Doctor of Laws from the University of London. Many Wealthy Men There are many w r ealthy men in The State From Day to Dayj The Herahey Press gives figures ■which show that Americans every year spend five hundred million dol i lars for candy and an equal amount i for medicine.

From the Bellefonte Gazette we ex tract a letter signed by the well-known Gottlieb Boonastlel.

Panama City. The will of a young man of one of the leading families, who was recently killed in a dispute over a land deal, revealed the fact that he enjoyed an income of $50,000 Am erican money a year. In addition to the house in the City of Panama where he lived and had his place of busi ness, be owned a number of other houses in the town, a country place in '■as Sabanas, the most attractive rural district of the Isthmus, broad acres of the best Panamanian agricultural land, and great herds of cattle. I This young man is a typical speci | men of the ruling class of Panama t'ity. Intelligent, well-educated and a , thoroughly capable businessman, he |is of a type Which no broad-minded ; American fails to respect. True, he : does not develop the country, as a clti i zen of the United States would do If jhe had the same capital and op- I portunity. The Panamanian does not j aspire to change. He finds life good as it is. His object is to enjoy his estate, as his fathers have done before him, I and hand it down intact and perhaps a little better to his heirs. He is, above all things, conservative. These Panamanians are fond of so ciety, music and travel. They are pat rons of the arts. Many of them go to Europe every year for the concert and opera season. They are firm believers in family life, and. broadly speaking, there are neither bachelors nor old maids in Panama. The girls, even of the highest class, are usually married by the time they are eighteen. * Enter the Little God Marriage in Panama is vastly more a matter of choice upon the part of the contracting parties than in most South American countries.

Freud's theory that "a dream is the representation of an un fulfilled desire" seems to be vindi cated, except for the last part of the dream. JITNEY VS.

This is concurred in by the leading insurance men. Poor housekeeping ts the cause of a great majority of tires. Keep rubbish out of the home and take care in getting rubbish out of the home.

Marshal Baldwin said in discussing the "Every one of the warnings I have given in that circular is the lesult of a fire. We have found fires caused by those very things that I am warning against. There are a lot of people who think that fire insurance replaces lost prop erty. They have the idea that fire waste is paid by insurance.
