THE PRESIDENT'S TOUR AMONG those who are given to analyzing political movements and currents there is more or j less questioning of the motives of President Wilson in his swing around the circle this week. Those who are; his strong admirers and supporters! insist that it was a purely patriotic j move on his part to strengthen the program of the administration in the matter of an enlarged navy and army. Those who arc not so ready to accept this view of the matter declare that the tour was largely a political move iind had for its purpose the bringing of the President into close touch with i le people that he might have oppor- 1 t unity to talk preparedness while t'linking of the Wilson propaganda and tiie impending national cam palgn. It is pointed out by a close observer 1 of events that in one of his speeches the President declared with emphatic assurance that "the gallant men in Washington who make our laws are noing to deliver the goods." This is Interpreted as an absolute conviction on his part that there is no doubt nbout his program on the national de lense going through Congress, that it ■was therefore unnecessary to make the speaking tour for that purpose and that the political phases of the situation were more considered than preparedness when he planned it. Following his swing through the Middle West, it is now intimated that be will repeat the performance in the South and Southwest, in order to anticipate whatever may be said or done by William Jennings Bryan and those associated with him in the peace propaganda. It is further sug gested that a study of the figures in the election of 1912 demonstrates how far below the combined vote of Taft and Roosevelt was the total of the Wilson vote. And this is suspected in sonic quarters as the real reason for the speaking tour, although there may have been, according to these students of affairs, a desire on the part of the President to inject a little ginger into Congress on the preparedness issue. Meanwhile, there is .an insistence upon some definite plan of prepared ness to which the President is inviting the support of the country. Well turned phrases will not always satisfy those who are practical in their atti tude on national defense and who de mand something more than words. There was 110 evidence anywhere on Ihe trip this week that the people are lacking in patriotism or interest in the cause which the President pre sented in his series of speeches. Nor •will he find in any other part of the country any shortcoming of this sort. Mis countrymen ore alive to the situa tion and the job of Congress and the President is to provide adequate (na tional defense. if the United States gets into a war with the countries abroad it can estab lish a merchant marine and a consider able fleet of auxiliary cruisers by taking over the hundreds of foreign vessels now interned in our harbors. SOMETHING TO BOAST ABOUT OUR esteemed contemporary, the Ohio State Journal —than which there Is no more readable news paper anywhere—takes such an over weening pride In the city of Colum bus that we rejoice to find something in the way of civic progress that Harrisburg has. of which the Journal is not yet able to boast for Its home town. We note in the news columns of the publication named that Colum bus city council has Just turned down the Chamber of Commerce's request lor the creation of a City Planning Commission, the_ councilmen holding that "such a body would result only in a waste of the taxpayers' money." We are not surprised, therefore, to read in another column that this same council is about to float bonds to make up a deficit in running expenses for the year. Tt is that kind of a council that votes down city plunning commission ordinances. If the Stale Journal wants to give its readers some Idea of the efficiency, utility and economy of a planning commission, it might send a staff cor respondent to Harrisburg to "write us up." Columbus is doubtless the grand city it has been painted, but as for us, SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 5, 1916. little old Harrisburg Is quite good enough, even If we don't have a mu nicipal deficit for the year. Now we are threatened with higher coal prices should the anthracite barons be forced to pay the scale adopted by the United Mine Workers. It was ever thus. Down beneath all such move ments is the unfortunate consumer. He | must pay the price and this may ac- I count for the apparent change of front | in the last few years on the part of the general public, which formerly threw up its hat and cheered every time a big strike was declared. DRESS REFORM AMONG the thousand and one "dress reforms" of recent years, that proposed by the Federation of Women's Clubs of America as a protest against recent and present ex tremes in feminine garb shines forth alone as possible of accomplishing its I end. "Most club women," we are told, "want to establish a general rule against indecent extremes In dress" and a custom of making women's gowns conform to the following four regulations: First, individuality, every woman I trying to express her own ideas. Second, modesty, not Puritanism, but a decent regard for what is proper. Third, good taste, a degree of art in the expression of indi vidualism. Fourth, appropriateness. Toung girls should not he dressed like matrons. Old women should not dress like girls. Certainly, there is here permitted ample latitude and freedom for even the most exacting. All that is barred lis indecency. But one wonders, if so many women feel that way about it, why the reform lias not been accom plished without the necessity of form ulating rules of dress. Thomas Carlyle, in Sax-tor Resartus, tells us that "the first purpose of clothes was not warmth or decency, but ornament," and if this be true we suspect that the club women may have some difficulty in supplanting the idea 1 back of the adoption of the original fig leaf if clever style-makers continue to induce femininity to believe that a split skirt, a sawed off bodice or a peek-a-boo waist adds to charms and enhances personal beauty. As the philosopher observes, commenting on the origin and development of clothes, from the cave-man's necklace of teeth to the present garb of our wo men, "yon snow and rose-bloom maiden has descended from that same hair-mantled, tlint-hunting aboriginal antlirapliagus," and she liasn'tchanged much in ideas about dressing. If there is to be any doubt about the j setting up of the Herahey statuary at i the place selected, this doubt should be promptly removed by action of the City Council. Having accepted the group of nymphs we shall make the city a sub ject of ridicule unless the statuary is properly placed without delay. Again It has been demonstrated that j the boy who started With two dollars a | week has ail equal chance in the busi- i ness world with the chap who "accepts" a position and always insists upon be- i ing general manager at the end of the first year. Every day stories come out of the great cities showing the country boy once more on top. A COMBINATION* BUILDING WE find that many citizens agree with the Telegraph in its posi tion 011 a combination court house and city hall. Whether the present structure is to be remodeled for the joint use of the city and county may be a question for discussion by the municipal and county authorities, but there can be little doubt that the people favor one building and are op posed to a separate city hall which would require a double force of em ployes and caretakers, when a com- j bin at ion building could be more eco nomically managed and maintained. In these matters the convenience of the taxpayers and those who have business with the city and county offi cials must have first consideration. Of course, it is worth while that the building shall reflect the progress and the public spirit of our people, but this goes without saying. It is gratifying to know that this newspaper is meeting so generally the favor of the community as shown in I recent letters and personal statements, and it shall be the effort of all con nected with the paper to continue to deserve the good will of our people. | First of all the Telegraph stands for Harrisburg and we want the citizens ; of the city to make proper use of its ' columns in every way that will benefit the entire community. Ol'R ADVANTAGES MORE and more manufacturers are realizing the enormous ad vantage of Harrisburg as a dis tributing center. Tts near proximity ;to the seaboard during the present embargo at the New York terminal has demonstrated in the most con vincing way the importahce of lo cating distributing depots and indus trial plants in this city. While the New York terminals were blocked by the congestion of freight, the manu facturer and distributor here had out lets to the sea at Philadelphia and , Baltimore. This fact will doubtless 'be emphasized by the Chamber of | Commerce pilgrims in their coming ; tour through the central part of the I State. Before we come to the opening of Spring and the further care of the shade trees of the city it would be well for Council to follow out its thought of a definite measure of regulation, especi ally in the matter of trimming trees. If the tree butcher is not suppressed, we shall soon have no shade trees worthy the name. Dispatches from Annapolis state that 220, a fourth of the whole number, at the Naval Academy have flunked In their studies and must resign. It would appear that some preparedness is nec essary in this end of the naval estab- I lishment of the United States. It is reported that the City Council will shortly place a tax on signs of every character and iliat more specific regulations will be adopted regarding the overhead and swinging electrical signs that are now regarded as a dis tinct menace to pedestrians' along the business streets. It is high time that some regulation should be adopted re- strictlng the harum-scarum sign de velopment In this city. A few years ago Denver found it necessary to re move all such signs owing to frequent serious accidents, and it might be bet ter to begin the restricting of these menaces to the pedestrians. During the month of January eight veterans of the Civil War died in Hunt ingdon county. Rapidly, indeed, is the thinning line of blue becoming thinner and still thinner with the passing months. Taps will soon be sounded for the last survivor of the great struggle which demonstrated the quality of the American soldier. Now Turkey is said to have tired of the war and Insurrection is imminent. The latest story is that the Turkish heir apparent has committed suicide on the order of Enver Pasha, who discov ered a plot to open the Dardanelles to the Allies as a peace move. Every day adds a new horror to the world tragedy. So many important changes are oc curring daily In the central business district as to lead to the conclusion that Harrlsburg is upon the threshhold of another great development in Its com mercial and industrial expansion. Our merchants are men of vision, and they are not blind to the signs of the times. Harrisburg real estate is attracting attention in many new quarters and with a proper .building code there is bound to be great activity among the builders and contractors during the present year. IK By tli* Ex-Commltteemml Over 150 blank nominating petitions have been issued by the Department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth for circulation for signatures for the May primary. Papers may not be cir culated, however, until February IS, which will be sixty days before the primary. The petitions sent out were to about a score of aspirants for nominations who had written to the Capitol for the papers and the shipments were lim ited to their needs, the department de clining to send a number In excess of requirements. One candidate, whose name could be placed on the ballot by two petitions, asked for 200. Another asked for 100 when two would suffice. It is likely that the state committees of the various parties will supply pa pers for their candidates for delegates to national conventions if the plan is made to secure more signatures than needed fo comply with the law. —Suggestions for changes in the j workmen's compensation acts, which j are commencing to be made now that j the operation of the law is under way. | will be carefully noted and studied at j the Capitol by the attorneys for the | Compensation Board and by the Attor- ! ney General. It is expected that nu- i merous amendments will be heard of j at hearings and meetings which will be held this year, but as in the case of' the school code, changes will be weighed before being favored at the Capitol. Efforts will be made to keep the compensation discussion out of politics as much as possible. After the Philadelphia transit de partment had been without a head for a month Mayor Smith last evening an nounced the appointment of Willian Stanton Twining as the successor of A. Merritt Taylor, who tendered his resignation with the close of the Blankenburg administration after liav- j ing evolved a system of high-speed subway and elevated lines and started the construction work on both. The appointment of Mr. Twining does not come as a surprise, because his name has been repeatedly mentioned for the place since Mr. Taylor decided to re tire. NEEDLESS ADMONITION [From the New York Sun.] It is somewhat unnecessary upon the part of President Wilson to urge this country to keep cool at the present threatening crisis. Under the hypnotic influe.nce of the calmness that has pre vailed apparently at the White Home during the past three years the people of the United States have contracted the habit of remaining calm, even under the most trying circumstances. As a nation we have seen plainly how, as il lustrated at Vera Cruz, it is possible for an American administration to make war that is not wholly war and peace that is not wholly peace. We have been taught to Indulge in watch ful waiting until the process acted like a sleep producing drug upon millions of our countrymen. When, since the present world con j flagratlon began, have Americans as a whole been anything but calm? Our countrymen have been murdered at sea and across the Mexican border, outrage after outrage has been perpetrated against our Hag and against our rights [Under international law. but as a peo ple we have displayed no signs of hys teria, we have as individuals gone our i respective ways with seemingly assur ; ed confidence that the honor of our na tion was safe in the hands of those to whom its maintenance lias been com mitted. Tills admirable coolness exhibited by the people of the United States at re current crises that would have tried the patience of a nation of graven im ages shows no signs of changing to I feverish excitement even under, the ex asperating international conditions that j prevail at the moment. That this en couraging fact is due to phlegmatic Indifference to national obligations up on the part of the people at large is not j believable. It Is more satisfactory to | cling to the conviction that our conn i trymen, weary of watchful waiting j though they may be and no longer un i der a hypnotic influence that lasted | too long, have never changed their I minds regarding the basic issue Involv | ed in the cumulative menaces of recent I years, that American rights and ideals I must be defended and conserved, no j matter what, in the end, shall be the sacrifice demanded. This nation remains calm, remains cool. But its eyes are now no longer blinded to the truth, its ears are no longer deaf to the warnings that come to us from within and from without. If the voice that should have called at tention to our country's perils long ago has been raised too late, if the ma chinery of our guiding mind always moves too slowly, the nation is to be commiserated, not blamed. A people i that has watched quietly and waited patiently is not likely to go Into hys | torlcs at the wrong time. But school children get used, of course, to unneces sary advice given by their teacher. The teacher, If he is conscientious, must in dulge now and then in superfluous ad monitions. JAPAN'S CHOCOI,ATE!I j Japanese-made sweets, particularly I chocolates, arc finding a good market !in the Philippines, Malay States and | .lava, where shipments are now being | made regularly. The Australasian mar ket in these goods was supplied before the war almost exclusively By the local manufacturers, supplemented by the large factories in Britain, such as Cad iiury's and Fry's. I.atcly, however, de liveries have been most irregular, and Japanese candy men are acting on the Idea of a possibility of the higher class j confectionery made in Toklo finding a market there. The standard of all i goods, however, In this line, it is ad- Iniitted. must be high. - THE CARTOON OF THE DAY | THRIFT DAY L —From the rhllndclplilii Itrconl.

EDITORIAL COMMENT | The folks who believe in peace-at any-price are willing, it seems, to pay the bigffest price of all for It—the price of national honor.—Kansas City Star. A DEMOCRATIC POINTER [From the Philadelphia Record.J Governor Brumbaugh, according to dispatches from Harrisburg, "is en gaged in mapping a tentative route for his proposed farm inspection tour early this Fall." The tour will take about four weeks, anil doubtless the Gover nor will pay especial attention to the condition of the fences, always a sub ject of great interest to politicians. Where he finds that these ar« in good order he will take a look at the fields of grain, and the fruit, dairy and to bacco districts are also to receive his attention. Altogether this seems an excellent idea. We commend it to Senator Penrose, who has shown a disposition to cultivate blast furnaces, hosiery factories and rolling mills rather to the neglect ot the farmers. Pennsylvania is an Important agricul tural as well as a manufacturing and mining State, a fact that is too often i forgotten. CHURCH BACK HOME [Kansas City Star.] In the little church back home they are holding a revival of the old-fash ioned kind. The last issue of the Old Home paper tells about it. In imagina tion we can sec it just as it is, for there are no new fashions in religion in the Old Home town, and the re vival of twenty or thirty years ago. We can see the crowd gathering and 'the church filling up "at early lamp light," and hear the singing of the : hymns, one of which is always: Come to the church in the wlldwood, Oh, come to the church in the date; No spot is so Hear to my childhood As tho little brown church in the vale. The sermon, with its sound Christian j doctrine and fervent appeal, the in j vitation to backsliders and the uncon ■ verted while the congregation sings softly, "Almost Persuaded" and "Just as I Am;" it is all an old story, of which the Old Home paper makes much. It is good to get news of the revival back home. It is good to know that Deacon Zepheniah Wilson is yet alive and taking an active part in the re vival, although it must go a little against his grain to have singing led by an Imported soloist who gets paid for it and makes'a business of it. For many years in the long ago Deacon Wilson led the singing in the little church back home, and he fought bit terly against the introduction of an organ to the church, and, after the organ came, he threatened to quit going to church at all, looking upon that innovation as a sacrilege; but Elder Black silenced him and smooth ed 11is ruffled feathers by pointing out (that, if the angels in heaven praised God with harps and trumpets, surely I it was not a sin to praise him here on 1 earth with an organ.

WILSON'S INCONSISTENCY (Kansas City Star) Nothing about President Wilson's speeches yesterday was more attrac tive than his frank admission of In consistency. A year ago, to be sure, he decried preparedness. "But," he said, "more than a year has gone by since then and I would be ashamed if I did not learn something in four teen months." Only a stupid man knows as much j when he starts out as he after I vears of experience. If a man's ex i porience doesn't teach him something | and broaden him ho must be pretty 1 poor stuff. , In the middle of the last century : Charles G. Finney, a man with a na : tlonal reputation as an evangelist and progressive theologian, was president, of Oberlin College. Occasionally a student would think ho had caught i the great man in an inconsistency. ! "Don't over tiuote Kinney to me," was ' his customary reply. tions are made by any party or ar ganizalion. Each ballot bears the names of all the printed in one column. When Mr. Voter goes to the polls on election day, he is given such a ballot. In front of each name is a blank square, and it is in this that he does his voting. He votes for as many men as there are jobs to fill. In Ash tabula the number is seven. System Slioots off It is right here, however, that the 1 system gets up and walks off at right angles from the ordinary system of i voting in this country. Mr. Voter 1 looks over the names and picks out s the man whom he Is most anxious t shall be elected. In the square in tront of this man's name he writes the • figure "one." Then he picks out the r man whom he would like to have 1 elected if number one doesn't get it, t and in this square in front of his > name he writes the figure "two." This ■ process is followed until he has ex s pressed his choice, in the order of his ■ preference, for all seven offices. 1 All this is easy and simple enough, i but at this point the trouble begins. ■ The voter's duty is done, and the ■ mathematical expert steps in to deter -1 mine from the seven choices of each i ballot, just which men shall be given office In order to carry out the theory Lof perfect representation. As inti -1 mated before, the process is too Intri cate to be traced in detail,, but its out • lines are easily followed. The experts throw out all ballots I that are for any reason Invalid, and 1 count the ballots remaining. They I then divide the total number of bal lots by a number one greater than the 1 number of offices to be filled. In Asli ' tabula there were 2,9 72 valid ballots, • and seven offices. So 2,972 was dlvid -1 ed by eight, giving a result of 372. This number, 372, is called the ■ "quota." Any candidate who was the ; first choice of 372 voters was forth > with declared elected. But, obviously, 1 there would hardly be seven men, each [Continued on Page 7, ] THE STATE FROM DA/TO DAY Preparedness in the schools Is be coming more than a mere phantasy and matter for discussion since the general wave of preparedness has swept over the country. The schools in Wyoming are the example and Pittsburgh and Klttannlng, In this State, have both taken up the Idea within a few days of each other and will institute the plan in the schools of their respective cities. Wonder whether Harrisburg will be the last to fall In line? A well-organized gang Is operating in Allentown and has recently stolen many hundreds of dollars' worth of copper. Ten cases of mumps have been re ported at Dickinson College, Carlisle. Pa. Evidence is incontestable that a number of the young men of the In stitution are all puffed up—but not with pride. It is nothing to jest about, because wo have had the disease our selves, but the very thought reminds us of pouter pigeons. There lives a woman in Johnstown by the name of Mrs. John Hughes, and lately she had been noticing pains in the vicinity of her knee. She is 61 1 yenrs of age, but underwent the sub . sequent operation very stoically, and when It was over there appeared to view a needle, more than 18 years of ' age, which had made Its abode In her i kneecap all those years. "Water on • the knee" is the only ailment which 1 might have counteracted the needle . during that period, under which cir cumstances the bit of steel could per , haps have been washed out of sight, • out of mind, out of knee. ; A Norristown boy yesterday wrap • ped his face up ,in gauze bandages until he looked as though he had just ■ emerged from a railroad wreck. When ■ they were removed after his appre- I j hension, he declared that he had I made plans to hold up some bank I I officials almost anywhere outside of II Norristown. and that ho had pur . chased revolvers for the purpose. The 1 i swath of bandages was with the idea iof a disguise. ©inring (Eijat Considerable Interest is being mani fested in hearings being held by thf Public Service Commission on the afr plication of the Cumberland Vall*< Telephone Company to secure StatV authority (or a connection with fir- Perry County Telephone and Te*«~ graph Company at Newport. The principle involved is the right to make connections and the decision may ho of State-wide importance. This is practically the first time the commis sion has been called to rule in a case presenting the circumstances where a company demands a connection. Three of the small defendants who were arraigned in January Juvenile sessions the other day bore the same surname. "Here are the three little Harrys, your Honor," remarked Assistant Dis trict Attorney Wtckersham as the three youngsters sidled up to the judge's desk. "The three Harrys, eh," observed Additional Law Judge McCarrell. "Sure the 'old HarVy' isn't there, too?" "Not now, sir," gravely returned the assistant district attorney, "but he may have been when they committed the mischief they're charged with!" The "Fifth Sunday" meeting held here Sunday by railroad men from throughout the State for discussion of various matters, is a continuation of a series begun twenty or moro years ngo. Months in which there is a fifth Sunday have been picked out, Sunday being a day when most men can be free from work. The meetings are : ow held all over the country and are big factors in getting men to work to gether. The manner in which punch boards which were to be found by those who knew how a month ago have dis appeared is worth noting. It Is no secret that punch boards were to be found around Christmas-time, but now they are as hard to find as a "faro layout" or a "stud game," which, ac cording to rumor, were not unknown here in years gone by. Hundreds of schools have resumed (Ire drills and taken up other panic prevention work as the result of the stirring up given to local authorities throughout the State by various ■■branches of the State government last Fall. Every school district was called upon to make a report on fire escape equipment and on maintenance of fire drills. The result was a surprise be cause in a good many districts' reporls there were found grounds for changes. In addition State factory inspectors have been checking up on fire escapes. Judging from the manner in which requests for trout from State hatch eries for "planting" are being received at the State Department of Fisheries, a good many people must be of the idea there is going to be an early Spring. Requests for thousands of young fish have been received and the places where it is proposed to plant them have been looked up. Only yearling fish will be sent out. There was a man In our town, and he was wondrous wise—in his own estimation of the man who would ride in one of these little electric machines that one sees sneaking softly about. It must be remembered that this man was young and his ideas were fresh and ofttimes hastily formed. He swore that his idea of "nothing at ail" was for a full-grown man to ride in a poor, defenseless, inoffensive little Baker, or Detroit, or any of the other electrics that are on the market. Once upon a time this young man was persuaded to take a short trip with a friend who was selling the car. Like a balky mule, he resisted, but finally conde scended to ride along. He was charmed; he was delighted: he was inspired by the smooth motion and simple mechanism of the little car. He began to talk business, he figured upon his future possibilities, and—ho fell for the line of talk and is now the proud possessor of a little car all his own. Moral: He who laughs last is the automobile dealer. « • • Just what protects the average Har risburg youngster who endeavors to go through a revolving door while on a pair of roller skates has not been dis closed.
