A CITY OF FLOWERS MORE and more the idea of clean, well-kept streets and floral dec orations for houses and public places in spreading throughout the land. Newark, N. J., is going to be a spotless town for the 250 th anniver sary celebration which opens there on May 1, to continue throughout the summer. Buildings and fences are to be put in good repair and newly paint ed; streets and sidewalks are to be in apple pie order; all vacant lots arej to be cleared up and planted in flow- i ers and shrubbery or lawn grasses to give them a pleasing appearance. Pot- j ted flowers are to decorate porches> and windows throughout the residence j quarters. All citizens, civic bodies and ! school children are invited to co-op-! orate—and a week or more will be de- \ voted to an active cleaning and plant- j ing campaign for concerted work at! the proper time. Harrisburg isn't going to celebrate a 250 th anniversary next year, but it is mightily interested in being as spot less as Newark and quite as elabor ately decorated from a floral stand- j point. What a pretty custom It j would be if Memorial Day were to! be made a flower planting day, when j every resident would plant a flower in j memory of his loved ones, in addition to decorating graves with blossoms 1 that will last but a few hours and 1 then wither away. PROSPERITY DUE TO WAR WITH unconscious candor Secre tary Redfleld frequently drops into admission of the error he committed in saying that our prosper- ity is not due chiefly to war orders. In a recent speech before the Chamber of Commerce of New York City, he said that "there is danger that the sudden turning of the scales of international trade In our direction and the appar ent access of wealth and profit arising from it may turn the heads of some of us." His reference to the "sudden turn- i ing" Is necessarily an admission that; the drift was decidedly against us un- j til the sudden outbreak of war turn- : ed It in our favor. His further refer ence to the "apparent access of wealth and profit" carried with it the impli- j ration that the wealth is not so real as it appears. We have a species of temporary and spotted prosperity which depends for its continuance upon the continuance of war. it is not of that class of prosperity which ex isted when the industries of this coun try were conducted under the sound economic policies of a protective tariff. "Cnder, that tariff policy the balance of trade was in our l'avor and the prosperity was as real as It was ap parent. Then there was no need to warn the American businessman that his head was likely to be turned by an "apparent access of wealth and pro fit." So long as American business men had confidence In the continuance of a policy of protection to American Industry, they were not only ready but anxious to go ahead with legiti mate enterprise which gave employ ment to American labor and American capital, assured profits in all lines of enterprise, and provided adequate revenues with which to conduct the business of the government. Secretary Redfleld, alarmed lest the enormous trade balance in our favor shall bring ns harm, seems rather inconsistent •with his frequently paraded efforts to enlarge our foreign trade through the f-mployment of special agents in for eign countries. It is reported that his department will ask for Increased appropriations for the employment of such agents to continue to secure for eign markets for our goods, and this fit a time when he says the trade bal ance in our favor is cause for alarm, lest It work to our injury. Probably, as a result of the persist ent hammering he has received from the Republican press, Mr. Redfleld has finally acquired some slight under standing of the unsound basis upon FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 3, 1915. which our prosperity rests. Ho recog nises this as an abnormal prosperity which will fall as soon as the basis on which it was founded has ceased to exist. An unprejudiced mind, in seek ing for a remedy, would turn to the conditions which prevailed before the trade balance turned against us and before the war "suddenly" turned It again in our favor. | If Mr. Redfleld were not bound by the free trade principles of his politi -1 eal party and were free to consider : our economic position In the light of i history, he would acknowledge that the only safe precaution against the danger which he foresees is the re establlshment of the principles of pro tection on a basis approximately the | same as that which was In effect when 'the Republican party was In power. 1 But partisan loyalty and prejudice, : iNascd upon years of party affiliation, j prevent his taking a view sufficiently I broad to enable him to see the wis dom of such a policy. This is a more charitable view than to assume that he realizes what remedy would place us on a safe and sound economic founda tion, bpt is not patriotic enough to j acknowledge his past errors and aid : in the enactment of legislation and the i adoption of policies which would re jlieve us from the dangers he acknowl ! edges to exist and assure us continued | prosperity whether the war shall con tinue or not. i HAVE A CANDLE BURNING MAY'OR ROYAL, members of the clergy and women's organiza tions have endorsed very heart ily the Telegraph's movement for a candle-light illumination of the city on Christmas Eve. The practice is a pretty one and no doubt will be well observed In the city this year. The question of fire danger has been raised, but a little care only Is needed to safe-guard curtains and shades. Many candlesticks, and some of them of very cheap design, have glass flame protectors attached, but even those are not necessary. A common quart jar or the chimney of a gas mantle provides ample protection and does not spoil the effect of the candle from a little distance. j SUNDAY PASTIMES THAT the courts are Inclining to ward a liberality of view in the matter of Sunday amusements, says L. A. Wilder, in the December Case and Comment, is indicated by j cases which, it seems, cannot be whol- \ ly accounted for by the strict rules of I statutory construction. Mr. Wilder is very properly of the opinion that when we see court holding that a "scenic railway" is not "any such place of amusement" as a "merry-go round," so as to bring it within the operation of a statute prohibiting the keeping open on Sunday of any thea ter, playhouse, dance house, race} track, merry-go-round, circus or show, concert, saloon, billiard or poolroom, bowling alley, variety hall or any such place of public amusement, or that a moving picture show is not a theater or theatrical performance within the meaning of a statute relating to Sun day observance. It would seem that those who are shocked at such Sunday ! activities cannot lay all the blame at the doors of the legislature. Unquestionably, there has been an extensive and serious loss of public respect for the courts during the past lew years and we have been told by noted jurists that this has been the re sult of muck-raking magazines and newspapers and of political speakers caring lor nothing but the moment's advantage an attack on the judiciary j may chance to yield. But In a large measure the courts themselves have been responsible. The motion of a merry-go-round is around and around and that of a scenic railroad is mostly up and down, but the one is an amuse ment and the other is an edifying ex perience. in the opinion of the court. So far from being a proper Sunday : pastime our own opinion has been that the scenic railway on any day of the week is a device of the devil himself. A CITY'S FACE THE Kansas City Star quotes ex- | tensively from an article by Gerald Stanley Lee in the the Springfield Republican, which [ ought to be of interest to Harrisburg people, since it lias a direct relation tto what has been accomplished in I Harrisburg within the past several I years. , I The Star quotes this part of Mr. | Stanley's article: Springfield cannot be a great city and draw people to lier without a face. It is as impracticable, ex pensive and visionary for Spring field to try to attract people, to make herself known to people without the city's having a face to look them in the eye with, as it would be for a man to try to make himself known to people, to do business with people, without a face. We have enough dull gray faceless cities already trying to be patriotic without expressing It and without looking it, without some one big, noble symbol to fling up on the sky of the glory and the hope of the people. Commenting upon it, the Kansas City editor says: "That is the Idea that is inspiring city builders these days. A city must have distinction. It must have a face." Precisely so. No city worthy the name but has some outstanding, dis tinctive feature. In Harrisburg this Is unquestionably our river front, with its walk and its steps and its un surpassed view. This is the. city's . "face," if you please, and a pretty good looking face it is, too, even if we do say It "as shouldn't." Incidentally, the wisdom of the city planners In developing the bank Is shown by the interest taken in such projects else where. CAPTAIN SWARTZ CAPTAIN HENRY A. SWARTZ, for fifteen years truant officer for the Harrisburg public schools and previous to that a school director, died last night. Captain Swartz had an enviable military record, but it will be as a school officer that he will be best remembered. Captain Swartz was the terror of every truant in Har risburg and many Is the boy he put back on the right track when the lad had fallen Into evil ways, and many the pair of shoes he purchased for little folks whose parents could not send them to school for lack of proper clothing. Captain Swartz wns known to almost everybody In the city and generally well liked; one of those fig ures so common in the days agone, but becoming fewer and rarer as Harrls- I burg sheds Its old ways and takes on those of the larger city it has become. ""Politic* By the Ex-Cootmltteemaa It is probable that the charges made by the Philadelphia Public Ledger against Revenue Collector lien F. j Davis, of Lancaster, that he solicited contributions tor the Democratic campalgti chest while holding a fed eral Job will lead to some investiga tion into reports of similar activities on the part of men who are cogs in the Democratic State machine and who are said to have been as active in political affairs as Davis. The fact that Davis is chairman of the Lan caster committee while holding a fed eral job is much discussed. In days gone by such action on the part of a Republican officeholder as lias been charged against Davis would have resulted in an outcry from one end of the State to the other on the part of Democrats. But like the foregathering of bosses in back rooms such things become proper acts when done by the reorganization chiefs. -—Mayor-elect Thomas B. Smith continues to be the foremost figure in interest in State politics just now. The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says: "Until the mayor-elect shall make known his selection, Republi cans throughout the State will con tinue to speculate as to importance of the outcome of this Interesting situa tion." In Pittsburgh the Gazette Times says: "While the State waits for the Philadelphia key to make a noise like unlocking the situation, the political machinery in every county of Pennsylvania is clogged. Candidates for everything from county commit teeman to United States Senator are being kept under cover." I —A move to have election officers appointed, as are registrars, in the in terest of better work. Is being con sidered in Philadelphia. Clinton Rogers Woodruff, civil service re former and chairman of the registra tion board said yesterday that a con stitutional amendment was being pre pared for introduction at the 1917 session of the Legislature. In speak ing of the move. Mr. Woodruff said that a similar amendment had been Introduced at the same time as those providing for annual elections, but that It had been defeated through the op position of a number of reformers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, who have since changed their minds. "A constitutional amendment Is necessary because at present there is a provision that the election officers shall be chosen by the electors. Just why this should be the case It is hard to deter mine. in view of the heavy burdens already resting on the voters. The move is made in the interests of the short ballot and of efficiency." Air. Woodruff intimated that there was likelihood of an effort being made to amend the registration law so as to make election officers eligible to serve as registrars, It being his strong per sonal opinion that registrars, by rea son of their duties, were specially qualified to make efficient election officers. —Mayor-elect Tliomas B. Smith gave no intimation yesterday regard ing any contemplated appointment to his cabinet for Philadelphia and it is possible that he may make no an nouncements until after the members of select and common councils shall have met in caucus in their respective chambers at eleven o'clock to-morrow morning: and decided upon their offi cers for the coming year. It has been agreed among the potential members of both branches that James E. I.en non of the Twenty-sixth ward, a Vare adherent, shall be backed for presi dent of select council to succeed Harry C. Ransley. elected Sheriff, and that Dr. E. B. Gleason, of the Ninth ward, a supporter of Senator McNichol, shall he elected to the presidency of com mon council as successor of George McCurdy. —Mayor Armstrong of Pittsburgh, j was before the Allegheny county grand jury yesterday in the ballot fraud in vestigation. His examination was brief. Senator Charles H. Kline has also been subpenaed but why it is not stated. —Philadelphia will vote on its great loan at a special election on February eighth. —Erie is arranging a special mayor alty election. —J. H. Cooney, Democrat, is con testing the election of H. T. Jones, of Ebensburg. as county controller of Cambria. He claims he was elected by 401 votes. —Judge-elect McPherson of Adams, spent $11,233 in his campaign. Judge Miller of Montgomery, who had practically no fight, spent $2,300. Judge Woods, of Lewistown, spent $3,827 and was defeated.

In silent moments never spoken of, We long to know again a mother's love. Bright gold, hard labor's guerdon, may be ours. And fame have brought us satisfying dowers. Yet in the moment when our life has all— All would we give to hear her gently call. When fevered with the fret of life and toil. The strive of living, and the day's turmoil. How do we yearn, so deeply and so much. To feel again the healing of her touch. When bitter in defeat, by failure stung. When from the heart, hot, careless words are Hung. How thought brings bark, our dark moods to beguile. The pleased, reproving laughter in her smile! Ah, mothers, little do you know or guess How In our secret hearts your name we bless; How you are present through life's joys and tears. Forgotten not through life's increasing years! —Arthur Wallace Peach in Farm and Home. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS By Frederic J. Haskir NOT long ago, there were eight automobile accidents in Balti- more In a single day. The num ber of motor accidents in New York has increased 120 per cent, during the past year despite every effort flio traffic department can make to reduce them. In Chicago automobile acci dents are steadily increasing and city officials are studying the problem from every angle. These conditions are not typical of the cities mentioned, but of traffic in the United States as a whole. The number of automobiles is multiplying at an unprecedented late. The stan dardization of materials and large pro duction have brought cars within the reach of incomes that never dreamed of them a few years ago. The auto mobile has become an essential 111 both business and pleasure and wherever it has gone it has carried death. In this country the blame has been laid largely at the door of the motor ists. The American's somewhat ex aggerated opinion of his Independence demands that he be allowed to walk wherever and whenever he pleases. The pedestrian was there first and the autoinobilist has no right to come along and run over him. It is an illuminating fact that in Europe they look at It just the other way. There if you get run over by an automobile you will not only col lect no damages from the chauffeur, but will be heavily fined for blocking traffic. In Europe, conditions are too crowded for the worship of personal independence to flourish. They rea son over there that the motorist and the pedestrian have equal rights to the thoroughfare. The pedestrian has the use of a sidewalk, and the motor ist sticks to the road. There is a time for each of them to use the crossings, which are carefully regu- THE STATE FROM DMT TO DM Have you seen a "pug-nosed blonde" anywhere of late? That describes the young woman who kidnaped a 4- month-old Philadelphia baby Monday afternoon, since which time no trace of either has been found. Timely ad vice to innocent "blondes with turned up nasal organs" would be a quick and effective disguise to avoid complica tions. True canine devotion was never bet ter exemplified than in the case of the little fox-terrier belonging fo Samuel Crca, track-walker, living in Kittan ning, recently killed by a train. The little dog refused to leave his master's body and had to be clubbed into insen sibility before the body could be re moved. You've heard the expression, "bringing home the bacon." We have just learned from a State contempo rary how it originated. Briefly, Fltz walter in 1244 made an offer to the people of Dunmow, a town of Essex in England, "That whatever married couple will go to the priory, and, kneeling on two sharp-pointed stones, will swear that they have not quar reled nor repented of their marriage within a year and a day after its cele bration. shall receive a flitch of ba con." From which interpretation the expression has to-day degenerated into a measure of success in any un dertaking. , Deer hunting has swept over the State in a mighty wave and aready many fine animals have been sacrificed to the sport and palate of the hunters. It is evidently a good year for bucks, and those who have gone early are avoiding the rush, which will find little left when it does come. Margaret Richardson Knipe. the first woman to study law and he ad mitted to. the bar of Montgomery county, died Wednesday night. She practiced law with her husband, of the same profession, and at first her ad mission was fought on the basis of sex by male lawyers, without success. New Castle, like Harrisburg, is in lated by the police. If the motorist runs up on the sidewalk and hit,s a pedestrian he is heavily lined, and if the pedestrian runs out on the street and hits an automobile, either he —or his heirs and assigns—suffer the same penalty. In Europe they regulate the move ments of the pedestrian just as care fully as those of the automobiles and then place the blame where it be longs. In this country, we let the pedestrian run wherever he pleases, indict the motorist it he gets run over, and have a lawsuit to decide how much he shall pay. The fact that a pedestrian may, if he is foolish or tired of life, try to cross Broadway during the afternoon shopping hour in the middle of a block and that the police have no power to stop him, would be incomprehensible to a European official. Automobile associations, tired of hearing their members called murder ers, are bringing out these arguments on their side of the case. Undoubted ly, they are partly right. It is also undoubtedly true that there is a great deal of careless driving and speed ing in this country, as witness the an nual toil taken by the bibulous joy rider along the country roads and suburban streets where ther is no pos sible excuse for an accident. The great majority of accidents, however, are undoubtedly due, in the first place, to the fact that streets of many American cities are not adequate for automobile traffic, and, in the second place, to the peculiar American con ception of personal independence which makes adequate -regulation very difficult. There are probably few American cities where all of the streets are as wide as they ought to be. In many of them, such as Baltimore. Pitts burgh and Richmond, they are nar row, steep and cobbled. the throes of a discussion of the jitney problem, as to whether the ordinance providing for the regulation of the business shall be .adopted or not. The evolution of the jitney from a mere fad into a dangerous competitor of the traction companies, under the present basis of what many term unfair com petition, was speedy and unexpected. WASHING SMOKE A model smoke-washer has lately been placed In a round house at Engle wood, a Chicago suburb. It washes from 80 to 100 engines daily without giving any ground for complaint in that attractive residential section. The round house is built without a smoke jack leading to the outside at mosphere. A concrete stall, twenty two by thirty-two feet, is divided into three parts, each containing water. The engine smoke is forced through this water by powerful fans which sep arate from the gases the unconsumed carbons that cause the blackness of smoke. These latter are permitted to escape into the air, while the carbon and other solids are collected In the water. Experiments are now being conducted looking toward the practi cal utilization of this residue. I SOME UNIQUE COSTUMES Among the articles of clothing now on exhibition in the historic costume I collection, in the National Museum at Washington, are a number which for j merly belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Among them is a linen garment, but toned up the sides, which might easily have suggested the design for some of the modern combination undergar ! ments for men so extensively adver tised in current magazines. The fastidious habits of the second president are indicated by the fact that, when traveling, he always slept In a linen bag about two yards long which protected him from contact with the sheets and blankets of strange beds. This bag and the little gray cloth case in which it was carried are also Included in this exhibit. lEtattmg (Ctjat One has only to watch the rate a*, which freight trains whizz throug!* the city to note the tremendous juni»' that traffic has taken in the last fe\" months, it used to be common Ift several hit; trains to pass under MU* berry street bridge in half an hour an., for long trains to be ten or fifteen minutes apart on the Heading bridge. Now the trains pass that point with the engines not very far behind ttiu trains in front. In fact, they are as close as the regulations allow. The bulk of these trains are heading for the seaports and are loaded to the gunwales. And the way they are watched is something which would open the eyes of the average man. "I never had so many early inquiries for Christmas trees as this year,' saul a downtown dealer yestorday. "I be lieve there will be an unusually large number sold this month, but the main thing with those who have been ask ing about them is that they desire to get In early in order to be sure of hav ing fine, shapely trees. Already car loads of freshly cut spruces and plnos are being loaded on cars In the Maine woods and they will be on sale In ten days in this city. The day is past when anything In the way of a spruce or pine will do. The imported trees have educated the trade. Nowadays they must be shapely if they arc -to sell." Just because a veteran employe of the Pennsylvania railroad is retired oni a pension, is no indication he takos life easy. Very few can stand leisure without doing something. Havrlsburg: has a large number of pensioners. The number runs into scores. They are not working as hard as when m the company's employ, but are quite active. If one takes the trouble to make inquiries he will find many em ployed in Market street, about the bis stores, in factories, running eleVatoi-d and doing other jobs. Some are doing' duty as special watchmen; others as park guards. Quite a number haves gone Into business. One amuses him self making oil paintings and water colors. Three are running automo miles, nine have taken up farming oil a small scale, a score follow poultry raising. Very few can he found who are not busy. Those who are "their own bosses' take a day oiT occasionally and visit Philadelphia, Baltimore or some other city. As one veteran put, it "we cannot stand being Idle. IK would kill us. Activity means long life." Approach of the cold weather has made necessary the hustling of work, on the new parkway extension roa<l beyond the almshouse. The new high way under ordinary circumstances would have been completed by this time had the contractors not en countered an unusual out-cropping 'jf limestone. The rocks jutted through the earth in a direct line of the high way and were so wide that the road could not be run around it. Conse quently In some places a cut through solid rock of six feet or more was necessary. This delayed the work for weeks and it is doubtful if the job will be finished before the first of the new year. Si.
