CONTINUATION SCHOOLS GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH tn his continuation school statement, made public yesterday, ex presses pleasure in the hearty co-op tration he has observed between em ployers and school authorities every where in preparation to put the new law into effect. A great many employ ers complained bitterly against what they really believed would be a serious Interference with the operations of their plants as a result of the continu ation school provision, but it is to their credit that they are going to give the law a fair trial under the most favor tble conditions. Of course, there must be sacrifices and readjustments, as are occasioned by every change of the tcind. but in the end no doubt the em ployer as well as the employe will be benefited. It is not too much to believe Lhat the boy or girl will improve in working capacity under the Instruction given sufficiently to repay eventually the employer for the Dutlay that must be charged up to eight hours a week in school that btherwise would have been spent at work. Much depends upon the kind pf instruction given and there is every Indication that this will be of a very practical nature. Vienna declares the Ancona tried to escape. We suppose that is also the reason why the submarine crew killed the women and children in tjie boats. RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERS SURFACE Indications point to a possible State-wide contest over the election of delegates to the Hepublican national convention from Pennsylvania. So long as such a con test. is conducted in the spirit of per sonal rivalry and without thought of actual discord there can be no ob jection from the standpoint of party unity and effective organization. It is the right of any Republican to submit his name for consideration and to do his utmost to enlist the interest and support of his fellow Republicans. But this is not the time nor is there occasion for any movement within the Kepublican party which would tend to weaken that party in a State which has suffered so much under the mis taken policies of the party now in power at Washington. Personal ambitions and factional differences ought to be submerged for the good of the party as a whole. The future prosperity of the State and the welfare of its people depend largely upon a restoration of a safe and sane administration of the nation's af fairs and the enactment of such measures as will remedy the mis chief already done through free-trade policies and general indifference to the substantial interests of the country during the Wilson regime. Party leaders in this State should eonsider well what effect any disrup tion of the Republican organization may have upon the campaign of 1916. If there is to be a contest, let it be conducted with all the vigor and spirit of friendly rivalry, but with careful avoidance of anything which may tend to party demoralization or the break ing down of public confidence. It is Intimated that Governor Brumbaugh is being urged by party leaders here and there to precipitate a struggle •with Senator Penrose for the empty bauble of party leadership. Tae Governor has more than once declared that men of the best type, representative of all that is worthy in the Republican party, should be chosen as delegates to the national convention, a perfectly proper de mand, but we doubt very much whether he has any desire to engage in a rough-and-tumble contest for party leadership and control. Since assuming office the Governor has frequently announced his inter est In the great constructive measures which concern Pennsylvania and his administration. These ars close to hia heart and we shall refuse to believe he has listened to the siren song of ambitious and selfish politicians until he actually casts his hai into the ring and invites open combat. .More than tkm ytui yet remain of Governor FRIDAY EVENING, HAKEUSBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 19, 1915. | Brumbaugh's term and these should ] j be years of constructive effort through j all the great departments of the State i I government. It is not conceivable) that he would step aside from the work for which he is so admirably qualified lo engage in a political bout that would mean nothing to him per- i sonally, but only involve his adminis- ! nation in the same sort of contro versy which has characterized the ad ministration of the affairs of the State's metropolis in recent years. Tf the friends of Governor Brum baugh desire to further honor him by sending a delegation to the national convention with instructions to sup-1 port him for the Presidency it is j doubtful whether there is a single! party leader who would dissent, but any challenge to a contest for party leadership is almost certain to invite the usual hullabaloo of a State-wide conflict, embroiling the Governor and his administrative heads in a contro versy which in its nature and results could only militate against the success of the constructive program which has been so clearly and forcefully out lined in the Governor's public utter ances. This is a time for the Republicans to stand together and to forget per sonal ambitions and factional resent ments for the good of the party in the State and the nation. • Wisconsin University dairy stables are to have cream-colore.l walls.

PRACTICAL WOltK OUT in Westmoreland county there is at least one individual who knows how to get results under present liquor laws. lie is Father Lambing. a Catholic priest, who has issued the following warning to liquor sellers in his community: A WARNING Persons to wliom the law for bids Intoxicating liquors to be sold or Riven are getting them in this ( community, to tlieir own great harm and the distress and humilia tion of their families and friends. Tf this disregard of the law v<-u --tlnnes, some persons may be "up against it" when they appear at the license court, if not sooner. Commenting upon this straightfor ward notice, the Greensburg Tribune says: i How void of political prejudice, and yet how certain to suppress and even destroy the most harmful feature of the liquor traffic. No , trumpeting for partisan purpose--. No calling to arms of the many who hate intoxicating liquors in their every shape and form. No i thundering by petty pulpiteers to , advance the ambitions of pussy footed politicians. No effort to ar ray the indignation'of a righteous people behind some political short - card shark who fares' more for public place than he docs, for the public morals. Just a plain but _ , positive notice from a plain but positive man that violations of the liquor laws will not be tolerated, and that punishment awaits such ' violators. And the Tribune is absolutely jcor rect in its view of the matter. A strict enforcement of the liquor laws would do much to eliminate the evils which are now the subject of gen eral complaint and which give impe tus to the demand for more restric tive measures. It has been demon strated in Harrlsburg over and over again that where those opposed to the unnecessary increase of saloons as sert themselves public sentiment pre vails. There arc stringent liquor laws in Pennsylvania and pending any change in these measures a strict en forcement of their provisions would doubtless bring about greatly improv ed conditions in every community. HARMONY IX COUNCIL IT would appear from statements of Mayor-elect Meals and other members of the City Council that the Walnut street bridge proposition will have very careful consideration from every angle. Inasmuch as Gov ernor Brumbaugh and the State authorities are opposed to this viaduct and in favor of a large subway at State street It is the part of wisdom so far as the city is concerned to ad just the difficulty once for all. It is not improbable that the Allison Hill section which favors the bridge may be served quite as well through proper approaches to the State and Market street subways from the hill terrace. The Mayor-elect also signifies a change of heart regarding proposed changes in department duties. It. may be assumed that the gossip re garding such changes was the after math of an election rather than the serious judgment of the members of Council. What the city of llarrisburg desires above all else is competent and energetic public service and it is to be hoped that there will be harmony of action in the new council to that end. THE RIGHT IDEA THE Lancaster county man who a few days ago blew off the head of a burglar trying to gain en trance to his home ought to be held up as an example for the men who are guarding the munition plants of the United States. The foreign agent who sets tire to a factory or puts a bomb under a building does so with full knowledge that he is endangering the lives of American workmen. The guards about the mills need not fear the censure of the law if they act as promptly and as effectively as did this Lancaster county resident. In such cases it would be well to shoot first and inquire afterward. A few lessons of that kind might discourage the in cendiaries who have been at work in this country since the outbreak of the war. POTATO PRICES THE vegetable expert at State Col lege discovers that the farmer who holds his potatoes for win ! ter prices gains little or nothihg, l>t;- ! cause the potatoes sltrijik in storage it In proportion commensurate with the II average gain in price. Aside from the selfish thought of "serves him right" i! that is apt to arise in the mind of 'i the consumer, comes the question. I j why, if this be »c), there is any virtue ri in buying potatoes in quantity In &u --ijtumn'.' If our statistical friend is cor irect In his observation*, there may b« a satisfaction In contemplating a full j potato bin with the coming of winter, | but very little real saving therein. j" fotOic* U By *tm TTi TiminilM The return of Senator Boies Penrose to Pennsylvania is the most eargerly awaited event in State politics just j now. The tone of the senator's dental |of jhe San Antonio story that he had i announced himself as a candidate for President is indicative of some state ment to come along very soon and men active in politics within and without the State are eager to get It, The general belief has been that the senator has been thinking about the national chairmanship more than the Presidency and that while he is naturally glad to be given compli ments by his friends he is not sitting up at night planning to tight for the nomination. Mere suggestion that he would be a candidate was enough to set some of the Democrats frothing yesterday, while Capitol Hill buzzed with gossip of possibilities. Governor Brumbaugh, who has been silent about Penrose and eloquently quiet about hlmsetf, left this morning lor Pittsburgh where he will see a num ber of friends in the next few days and talk over things. It is generally believed that the Governor will talk na tional delegates as iie is Interested to the extent of "seeing that the right kind of men" are selected. it is not considered likely that the senatorial contest will develop until after the return ol' Senator Penrose and it would not surprise many to see Senator William E. Crow reappear as a candidate. The Knox-Babcock rivalry is getting pretty strong and the talk of William A. Magee is believed lo be a compromise feeler. Audttor General Powell is also said to have a lightning rod in reserve. The filling of a score or more post offices now held by Republicans has been promised lo Democrats before Christmas. James 1.

Mayor-elect Smith told the Clover Club members last night that he pro posed to run his own administration without regard to any political faction. He was given a great reception and ex-Postmaster General Hitchcock lauded his work as postmaster. —One of the interesting stories of the day is that a jury out West award ed $25,000 damages to William Fllnn, late leader oft the Washington party, for the sale to him of a "salted" mine.

The Philadelphia North American to-day haR something pleasant to say about Mayor-elect Smith. It says: "Mayor-elect Thomas B. Smith, upon his return from Hot Springs, Va.. yes terday, announced that political hacks and job hunters will fare meagerly In the make-up of the coming adminis tration. 'Big men, ambitious to do things, and to whom sulary is no objective, will be appointed as my directors.' Mr. Smith said. '1 have read with no little amusement the speculation as to the men who prob ably would be appointed by me. I have not the faintest Idea whom 1 will appoint'." District Attorney H. B. Jackson yes terday at Pittsburgh swore out war rants against forty-five persons ac cused of violating the election laws in the primary election on September 21. County detectives at once were sent to serve the warrants and within a short time twenty-five arrests had been made. The charges include conspir acy, making false election returns, false counting of ballots a,id illegal distribution of liquor nej>r polling places. The district attorney's office refused to reveal the identity of any of the men. The Philadelphia Press to-day says: "SO that there would be no chance of losing the Republican convention merely because there were no avail able facilities in Philadelphia to ac commodate the gathering, the officers of the Chamber of Commerce yester day conferred with the Bureau of City Property as to the iiossibilities of get ting the temporary Convention Hall at' Broad street and Allegheny avenue, in case the proposed permanent conven tion hall would not be finished in time.

Raskin J A THOUSAND dollars a year would be wealth and luxury to some families. It would be ab solute penury to others. So it seems that the Income necessary to satisfy the legitimate wants of any family or individual is dependent entirely upon circumstance, and there can be no fixed standard. There is, however, a minimum amount upon which a family may live without the sacrifice of health or self-respect. The Street Cleaning De partment of New York, determined that its employes shall live as Ameri cans should, has conducted an elabo rate' investigation to determine what this minimum income for decent, liv ing is. The result of the study is of wide interest, not only to employes, but to all persons who seek a standard of absolute necessity by which to gauge expenditures. The survey just completed fixes the sum of SB4O as the minimum wage upon which a laborer's family in New York City can procure the necessities of life. The future wages of eacn street cleaner are to be based upon this report. A committee of expert economists has been forking for months to se cure accurate data regarding the liv ing conditions of unskilled laborers' families in New York. Clothing, food, rent, fuel, recreation, medical atten tion and every other necessity have been carefully studied. The report presented to the department was re garded as sufficiently convincing to BETWEEN YOU AND ME There is no better story teller in the Stdte than Governor Brumbaugh. His memory is almost photographic, his large experience as an educator has covered many phases of life and his powers of description enrich his narra tive at every turn. He tells an inter esting story of a Mill Creek boy who is now the head professor of mathe matics at the Louisiana university at Baton Rouge. Incidentally he is the owner of a sugar plantation and is generally rated as a successful man. This boy, R. L. Himes, whose friends always refer to him as "Lew," Is the son of a track foreman of the Penn sylvania Railroad and his start in life was at Juniata College where the Gov ernor, then superintendent of schools of Huntingdon county. Induced his father to send young Himes. It's an other story of a poor boy making good. Thomas B. Boyd, president of the Btaie University of Louisiana, is a great admirer of Governor Brumbaugh and once endeavored to have the Gov ernor made president of the university of which he is now himself the head. It is said of Governor Brumbaugh that during his educational work in Louisiana he was popular because he declared that It was not his business to correct the social or political evils of the community. Mr. Boyd once said of the Pennsylvanlan that al though ho had mingled freely with his people he had never uttered a word that had grated harshly on their ears. Those West Shore people are not unmindful of the opportunities for development which are now presented through the co-operation of the Harris burg Planning Commission. In the eye of imagination we can easily see the beautiful Susquehanna Basin with the charming shore lines on both sides of the river and driveways that will be the pleasure of all the people.

The survey is based upon the re quirements of a family of five —a father, mother and three children, which is the average number re quired to keep the population at Its present rate of increase, though most unskilled laborers have large fami lies. The study proves conclusively that the families of all men living in New »ork upon incomes of S4OO or SSOO are underfed, underclad and over crowded—all three conditions detri mental to health, morality and self- Those living upon S6OO or S7OO can choose between the three disadvantages. They can hardly avoid at least one of them. Foreigners Loss The cost of living for the foreign born family is less than that of Ameri cans, because their standards are lower. The fact that, out of an in come of S7OO or SBOO, the foreigner Is able to make a small saving. does not affect the real inadequacy of his wages. The saving is made by the sacrifice of decent living conditions for his family. Economists in every city are giving close study to the actual cost of liv ing. Except for rent, the estimates are not likely to v«ry greatly in Ameri can cities, as the cost of food and clothing Is almost uniform through out the country.

THE STATE FROM DW TO DAY Blair Kusterborder and his wife are among the most nonchalant firefighters the town of Bellwood has produced for some time. While on their way to catch a train for Greensburg, yesterday, they noticed smoke Issuing from the cellar of a house. Quietly they made their way to the cellar, extinguished the Are with several buckets of water, and con tinued their Journey to the station, chatting pleasantly the while. Arthur Harshburger, of Cajiton, Ohio, went h'jnting in Juniata county and bagged two turkeys. But he didn't have a nonresident license, so they ar rested him and charged him SIOO. Prompt payment enabled him to keen his gun and accouterments. Two foolish young people of Reading and Philadelphia, respectively, aged 20 years, married on a dare and aren't a bit happy, nor have they ever lived together. In fact, they have been say ing very mean things about each other, and the situation reminds one very much of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, who accused everybody of "sic clng her on" to get married. A wild deer thrilled the (rood people of Wllkeß-Barre, the other day, by run ning madly through the business and residential districts for several miles, finally jumping Into the Susquehanna and swimming to the west shore, where it continued its "dash and finally dis appeared In the woods. The generous offer of Burgess Small wood, of Paxtang. who wished to per form a marriage ceremony before leaving office, and who was willing to do It for nothing and to actually grlve the bride a five-dollar gold piece be sides, has been swamped with takers. Perhaps it bolstered up some wavering one's cotirage to the point of popping the question. The Middle Division of the Pennsyl vania Railroad has put on four new ac commodation trains for the benefit of the workmen at Mount Union residing at Huntingdon and Intermediate points. The Pennsy's move Is brought about because of the lack of houses In Mount Union to accommodate the workmen In the mills here. UNCLE JIM When I grow up I mean to be Just like my Uncle Jim.

Abetting (Eljat Daupliln county's military enrojl ment, which has been regarded as more or less a matter of routine the few y«ars, has been looked at with a good bit more interest the lasr few weeks as a result of the generj> ; Interest being taken in prep&redne*' and military matters. The enroSb ment is made in conformity with n(j tionaj and State laws and the reporot are "led at Washington and in thi.«i city. Everyone between 25 and 45 is e P rO J This enrollment, It is under stood, was made with special care this year and many men about whose abil ity to bear arms question was raised were dropped. The net result is 25,214 and this is be lieved to be pretty nearly right. Of course, there are a good many men over 45 who would be pretty hefty if it came down to fighting. However in this number of 25,211 in the county it is doubtful if a very large percentage has much idea of how to handle a gun. Modern military training takes many weeks and statistics while interesting do not mean much in defense as it is understood to-day. Harrfsburg. for Instance, is shown to have enough men to man over twelve full regi ments. There are not enough guns in the city, if the arsenal is left out, to equip half that many companies let alone regiments. » * • The excellent salmon fishing to be found now just south of the river dam recalls the days when salmon flshinn used to be the great sport about the same distance down the stream froni Market street, but over on the Cum berland shore. In those days "Wells' water" was the great fishing place for salmon and many a fine one was hooked. Salmon are still biting up around Dauphin, says Dr. Cherrick Westbrook, one of the salmon author ities, but not so many people are go ing after them. Neither are many trying the "riffles" up about Maclay street. * * * The Welfare conference, which closed last, night, has been the means of bringing to Harrisburg many men prominent in manufacturing and offi cial affairs and bids fair to be an an nual feature. The conference is the outgrowth of the Engineers' Conven tions held here in the late nineties. Not long after the Engineers' Society was formed it held a couple of con ventions at the Capitol and the ex hibits which have been such a marked feature ever since were inaugurated. When the first conference was held tn 1918 Ex-Governor Tener opened it and the Engineers' Society called it the State co-operating through the then new department of labor and in dustry. This year the State has taken a more active part and has really made it of wide scope in public affairs. * • • For years this city has been hav ing conventions of secret societies and orders of various kinds, but it Is noted by a good many men active in such matters that Harrishurg has not been lucky lately. It is true that numerous important Masonic affairs have been held here, but the State gatherings have not been numerous. T<ast night one of the men prominent in fraternal orders said that the rea son was that other cities were getting very active and that it behooved Har risburg people to stir themselves be cause it was no longer sufficient for Harrisburg to merely ask for the con vention and get it because it was the i State Capital and a railroad center, r • * • Hunting must be good in this part of the State if the game displayed on some of the automobiles coming into the city is anything to go by.

Yest.crday one automobile came into the city with three dogs, ft man and wild turkey on the renr seat. Another car displayed big branches of pine over its radiator and mud guards and was festooned with turkeys, rabbits and grouse, all shot within twenty miles of Harrisburg. ♦ • • Tf the average Harrisburger only knew It "Bob-White" can be heard calling in sight of the Capitol dome.
