WILSON, A NATIONAL DANGER TTTHAT many Americans have |YY been thinking about the Wll * son administration was last night put Into words by Ellhu Root, one of America's greatest figures, In his speech at the opening of the New | York State Republican convention. | Even Democrats have been growing j doubtful about the ability of President; Woodrow Wilson to cope with the I problems that now beset the United j States as the result of the greatest of wars, the Mexican troubles and the demand for proper defense. Men who were Inclined to let the President work out "watchful waiting" have grown weary of the groping course of the na tional executive and reluctantly admit ' the mistakes of the man whose cool 1 temperament was once considered as able to keep the country on the right track. Senator Root has not sounded a keynote for any partisan campaign. He has given a warning to the United States. His speech lays bare the sin gular course of Woodrow Wilson In dealing with foreign affairs; dispas sionately discusses the policy in re gard to Germany, to Great Britain, to Mexico. His references to the future are enough to make the average American shiver. Woodrow Wilson is a national dan ger. He has demonstrated In almost three years that he Is not the man to pilot this country in the stormy times which are passing over us. Mr. Root has analyzed him. his acts, his administration and the verdict on the indictment, for such is the speech of the famous New Yorker, must be that Wilson has been found wanting. It is the spirit of the times to make every thing safe. What is weak or liable to be a source of danger is replaced. Mr. Root has warned the country of the perils of the future by telling just where Wilson has been inadequate, inadequacy in these times is danger. OUR WATER DEPARTMENT THE excellent record of efficiency for which the Harrisburg Water Department has been noted nearly ever since its establishment is being maintained by Commissioner Bowman, now entering upon his third year as its superintendent. Mr. Bowman's announcement of anotheT reduction in the minimum rate for residences is of prime import ance to the consumer. Of little less interest is the report of the superin tendent showing that the entire In debtedness of the department will have been wiped out by the close of the year, and that even with the re duced rates In force there will re main a substantial surplus to the credit of the department at the close of business December next. Few cities anywhere have better water than that served in Harrisburg and filtered water delivered In the house at a possible rate of $4 a year sounds like a Joke In these days of j high prices. Advocates of municipal j ownership of public utilities would find an excellent Illustration of their contentions In the Harrisburg Water Department. But there is another point worthy ■of comment and reflection in Mr. Bow man's report, and it is this: When the city faced the problem of filtra tion many voters hesitated to sup port the loan proposed for the purpose because they feared the financial bur den to be incurred would be greater than the city could well carry. That was in 1902. To-day we find not only this debt wiped out, but other out standing obligations met and liqui dated, the filter plant enlarged, the mains extended, an auxiliary reservoir and pumping station built and the de partment not only free of all indebt edness but actually earning money for the city. The lesson In this is that no false notions of economy should ever be permitted to stand be tween Harrisburg and a needed pub lic improvement. Mr. Bowman Is to be congratulated upon the results be is achieving as su perintendent and the people of Har risburg upon possessing such a valu able asset as their water department WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG RFTHSFTT TELEGRXPH FEBRUARY 16, MT>. has turned out to be. It is only an other example of the honesty and effi ciency In the management of public affairs In Harrisburg of which we have been for years so proud. THE TRADE EXCURSION OVER 200 members of the Harris burg Chamber of Commerce are off to-day on their annual trade expansion trip. Doubtless the ex cursionists will learn much of their neighbors and have a pleasant time. Doubtless, too, the material benefits will be well worth while, as they have been In the past. But after all the Important features of such a trip are the spirit that prompts the Journey and the association of the members of the party one with another. It's a live town and a Chamber of Commerce worth the name that can induce two hundred busy men to an undertaking of the liind and to en gender an enthusiasm that will prompt one company—the Central Supply and Construction in this instance —to send a brass band along at its own expense. It's a good thing for the town that Harrisburg businessmen have come to the point where they want to eat with each other instead of eating each other, as in less happy days, and such a trip as that so auspiciously begun to-day would be beneficial to those who participate and to the city as a whole if the train didn't make a single stop en route. IMPROVING MINING TOWNS THE annual report of the State Department of Mines provides pleasant reading at places for those who arc interested in civic bet terment and who have long deplored the hidcousness of many Pennsylvania mining towns. The report says that while it may seem like a far cry from coal beds to flower beds, the "appar ent extravagance of speech has Its justification in the marvelous trans formation that has taken place In recent years In the social condition and physical environment of the man who works underground." The investigator has found that along with the remarkable progress in the practical and material side of coal mining there has come an In telligent and successful effort to bet ter the lot of the miner both inside and outside the mines. A genuine humanitarian spirit has been effect ively at work, not only to thr<jw around the occupation every possibte safeguard and protection, but to give to the domestic and social life of the workers a new Interest by Improving the living conditions. This Is revealed In the character of the homes, In the comforts and conveniences with which they are supplied, and In the! general appearance of neatness and j cleanliness that marks the present communal life In many places. In sharp contrast with the disagreeable and repellant aspect of former years. That this Is true a trip through the coal fields will show. Many operators, recognizing that something was de manded of them beyond the physical protection of their employes while in the performance of their duties, in augurated reforms in the living con ditions, and this movement has steadily continued, increasing In scope and broadening In character from year to year, until to-day many mining communities compare favor ably with other communities that have had much greater natural ad vantages. But there is much that re mains to be done and that which has been accomplished should be only In the nature of an inoentlve to other mine managements that have been grossly neglectful. A CELESTIAL DOVE SCRAP ? WHAT has happened between Jupiter and Venus? As late as St. Valentine's Eve they were to be observed In the western sky as near as lovers on a parlor sofa and cuddling up closer all the time. But alack and alas! celestial love affairs appear to be as uncertain and as transient as those of this mundane sphere, for ever since Sunday the dis tance between the two appears to be steadily -widening and there seems to be no promise of an early recon ciliation. Has there been a heavenly love scrap, or what? I VACATING HARDSCRABBLE IT It greatly to be regretted that City Council did not see Its way clear yesterday to adopt the resolution calling for vacation of the Hardscrabble properties May 1, as suggested by City Solicitor Seltz and Commissioner Gross. Of course, no body would for a moment unneces sarily Inconvenience any of the own ers of property or renters who, by reason of the condemnation proceed ings, are required to move—but delay of a month will be of small advantage to anybody. A majority of those interested will bo ready to remove with the coming of Spring, and the knowledge that < they eventually must remove has been apparent for so long a time that a month more or less can mean little to the others whose plans have not been completed. Doubtless Mr. Seitz and Mr. Gross were prompted in recommending May 1 as the date of transfer by reason of the fact that April is the month generally set apart for real estate changes and the renewal, cancellation or making of new leases. There is much work of an improvement nature to be done in the Hardscrabble! dis trict and if Mr. Gross is to complete It during his two years' term as park superintendent he must be getting it under way and this was perhaps an other reason for the presentation of his May 1 resolution. "THERE IS HOPE" BALTIMORE Is making some hot claims to its right to be known as the birthplace of Edgar Al len Poe. Baltimore probably wants people to forget that the city also gave birth to a platform which Its makers and beneficiaries afterwards repudi ated. Cheer up, Baltimore. Think on next November. "There Is hope." QUICK WATSON—THE PULMOTOR : :::::: By BRIGGS Si BesiCßS i«» - \ W HEY! uP .f -Wl THAT MAKE-UP ! | T M " ' T ' S * L>AO4T Kjflv OF M 6 AND MV S //,./// ' foUUci Lk 'peKKOifkraitZa By tha Ex-Commltteem»* Ellhu Root's speech in arraignment of the policies of President Wilson and the inadequacy of the adminis tration which he has given to the country formed the theme of discus sion In political circles throughout the State to-day, judging from reports which reached Harrisburg to-day and Is being used by many men sincerely desirous of avoiding a Republican fac tional fight as a reason why jangling ambitions, grouches and petty squab bles should be eliminated. The Root speech has gratified Republicans, pleased Progressives and stiffened In dependents. By following the lines Indicated by that masterly effort it Is the opinion of many here that Re publicans can present a bettW front this Fall than by embarking on a campaign with factional feeling in the air. According to the Philadelphia North American the Brumbaugh- Vare faction, as It terms it, Is about to wage war, but will force Senator Penrose to start the flght. The Phila delphia Record talks the same way, while the Philadelphia Inquirer con tains the significant statement that Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, may not run for national delegate at large at all. —"Among adherents of the Vares yesterday there was a widely cir culated report that In practically every Congressional and Senatorial district In this city there will be a contest for party leadership and control at the coming Republican primaries," says the Inquirer to-day. "In the West Philadelphia - Germantown Congres sional district, now represented at Washington by a Vare supporter, Con gressman George P. Darrow, It was stated last night that Vare support ers are considering a proposition to back Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, from the West Philadelphia section, and William Potter, who was the Independent candidate for Mayor against John E. Reyburn, from the other side of the Schuylkill. It is 1 stated, however, by friends of Senator Penrose that Mr. Potter will not en gage In a contest against the Penrose leadership." In a summary of the situation to day the Record says: "On the State ticket Governor Brumbaugh and the Vares have already agreed upon Speaker Charles Ambler as their can didate for Auditor General, and It Is declared that for State Treasurer they will accept Harmon Kephart. chief clerk of the Senate and a protege of State Senator Crow, the Republican State chairman. Penrose, according to the gossip, was offered the oppor tunity to name the candidate for State Treasurer If the Governor and the Vares were permitted to name Ambler for Auditor General. When Senator Penrose refused to commit himself either for or against Ambler, the Vare-Brumbaugh forces went ahead and put the Speaker Into the field. They have not yet Indorsed Kephart, but It Is understood that they are not Inclined to wage a fight against the friends of Senator Crow in Western Pennsylvania." —Plans for pushing the campaign for nomination of local option can didates for the next Legislature from Western Pennsylvania counties, were discussed to-day with Governor Mar tin G. Brumbaugh by Representative John W. Wickorman, of Bellevue, Allegheny county. Mr. Vlckerman has been In close touch with the con ditions In a number of the Western counties and informed Governor Brumbaugh of the situation. The Governor will receive similar reports from the eastern counties this week. The Local Option Committee, which Is laying the preliminaries of tlie cam paign, has headquarters in Philadel phia and Pittsburgh and will likely open headquarters here later on. •—Announcement that the Mine Workers of the State propose to em bark in the legislative campaigns on a more extensive scale than ever be fore has attracted considerable atten tion at the Capitol and is regarded as distinctly favorable to Senators and members who are candidates for re-election and who are endorsed by 1 miners. Tt. is understood that the Mine Workers will have candi dates in about twenty-two legislative districts in which regardless of party men will be pledged to their legisla tion. William J. Stern, Erie's ex-Mayor, and Miles B. Kltts, member of As sembly from the Second District of ] Erie county, will contest for the Erie Mayoralty at the special election to be held February 29. With four can didates In the field at the special primaries they finished as follows: Kitts, 4538: Stern. 4112; V. D. Eichen laub, 884; William Bloesser, 71. —Pierce Archer, deputy revenue collector of Philadelphia, has quit and will practice law. There is now a scramble for the place. —Congressman Warren Worth Bailey will be a candidate for Con gress again in the Johnstown district. Even some of his Democratic sup porters will vote against him now. —Nominating petitions are being sent out from the Capitol by the bale, the same design for more than needed being manifested as in former years. —Speaker Ambler is visiting: coun ties near Philadelphia In his campaign for auditor general. Senator Snyder is in western counties. —The borough of Ambler voted to borrow $20,000 for sewage disposal and street improvements. —E. M. Biddle, Jr., of Carlisle, may be a candidate for national delegates on a Wilson platform. —All of Luzerne's judges sat yes terday In hearing license cases. | TELEGRAPH'S PERISCOPE"[ If Commissioner Bowman keeps re ducing the water rates, bathing will soon be a popular indoor sport here abouts.

THE MILITIA [Kansas City Star.] "To the Star: In your editorial 'The Price of Unpreparcdness,' you charge the American militia with cowardice, mutiny and desertion. This Is a serious reflection on a coun try that has Avon its wars with a citi zen soldiery. Will you give your au thority for this, and the dates when these things happened? L. H. M." The editorial made no charges of cowardice except against the Con gresses which did not have the cour age to levy regular troops to meet vet eran enemies. Haw militia, whether MANAGING THE CITY A Commission Thirty-eight Years Old By Frederic J. Haskin LONG before the people of Galves ton rescued their city from the ravaged of the great storm of 1900 by turning the business of the town over to a commission and there by started the spread of commission government, Washington had been successfully operated under that sys tem. A commission of three men authorized to administer the affairs of the District of Columbia was created by Act of Congress in June 1878. A great deal of the beauty, cleanliness, fine paving, artistic light ing and other things which make the city so attractive to residents and vis itors, Is due to this fact. Two of the commissioners are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sen ate, and must be residents of Wash ington. The third commissioner is an officer detailed by the President from the Engineer Corps of the Army. This Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia Is the execu tive authority and the administrative agency of Washington. Congress passes all general laws, which the commissioners enforce, and makes all appropriations, which the commis sioners spend. Municipal regulations for the "safety, comfort and health" of the Americans or men of any other race, cannot meet regular troops. That has been demonstrated in the wars of all countries in all ages. The facts re garding America's wars are of record In well known and accessible histories. They were attested by General Wash ington In the War of the Revolution and by authority as unquestionable In our subsequent conflicts. For the sake of condensation the record here given follows the compilation of Huldekoper In his "Military Unpre paredness of the United States," al ready cited in the editorial referred to. "Where tlic Militia Ran Away.— Battle of Long Island, August, 1776; evacuation of New York, September, 1776; at Brandywlne, September,l777; at Guilford Courthouse, March, 1781; at Burwcll's Ferry, April, 1781; at Williamsburg, April, 1781; at Fort Wayne, October, 1790; on General St. Clair's expedition into Ohio, Novem ber, 1791; at Frenchtown and the Rai sin River, Michigan, 1813; at Sackett's Harbor, N.

Massa chusetts, April, 1812, (denied the right of Congress and the President to call out the militia and held that right to be vested in the commanders of the militia in the several States); Connecticut.

(refused to permit the militia to support General Macomb In repelling eleven thousand British un der General Sir George Prevost, who had then invaded New York)." These humiliations are reflections not on the citizen soldiery, but on the pol icy of the national government, which has refused or neglected In all Its wars either to raiso regular armies or to prepare citizens for volunteer services by proper training in time of peace. If America "has won its wars with a citizen soldiery" the soldiers were made after the war began—a costly method. city are mad© by the commissioners. The board of commissioners Is also the public utilities commission of the District of Columbia, with full authority to control and regulate rates and service of street railways, gas and electric companies, telephones and taxlcabs. Nobody in Washington votes on anything. The people have no voice in either national or local affairs. In other words, the city which houses the seat of government of the greatest democracy in the world is an absolute monarchy so far as its citizens are concerned. Good or bad as this sys tem may be in other respects, in one way it is a clear advantage. It gives absolutely equal rights to both sexes. No woman can claim that she is dis criminated against politically in Washington. She enjoys every right or privilege enjoyed by a male. For the upbuilding and upkeep of Washington every man, woman and child in the United States, pays six cents a year, which makes the inter est of the whole country in the Cap ital City something more than mere sentiment. It is a financial, as well as a patriotic interest. Six cents multiplied by one hundred million [Continued on Page 10] THE STATE FROM Dflf TO m Shades of Shadrach! The Ellwood City bakers are now thinking of rais ing their prices on bread and pastr ies, giving as the necessity for the raise the increasing cost of flour. Well, why shouldn't the bakers also enjoy the prosperity that seems to be sweep ing over the country, thanks to the blood of our foreign brethren which so little affects us? Candlestick mak ers, your turn Is next. The population of the United States having passed the hundred million mark, according to census bureau ex perts, and based on the rate of in crease betwen the 1900 and 1910 cen sus, Pennsylvania can claim just about 7 per cent, of that number.

Ijtoratng (Etjat Visitors to Harrisburgr are often much interested in the city's volunteer Are department, which some declare is a survival of the old, old days, but which just the same manages to keep down Harrlsburg's fire loss below what it is every year in some larger cities, which boast of fire departments. This city has practically the same kind of. organization ap Reading, York and Allentown and in those places It is the general expression that everyone belongs to a fire company. In Har risburg the membership of fire com panies is far greater than many know. Men prominent in business and pro fessional circles are members of the companies and if they turned out their full strength it would surprise many people to note the membership. This is where the old days come in be cause back in 1813, more than a cen tury ago, the borough council of Har risburg enacted an ordinance that everyone had to Join a fire company. This was because the town had suf fered some disastrous fires and as it was largely built of wood there were fears that unless people organized there would be still worse. Every householder and practically every man had his fire bucket, samples of which may be seen in the Dauphin County Historical Society collection. The terms of the ordinance which made every man a volunteer fireman are curious. This is tho way the ordinance reads: "Be it ordained by the town council of the borough of Harrls burg and it is hereby ordained by authority of the same, that it shall be the duty of every house holder residing within the limits of the borough, either as owner, tenant or occupier, forthwith to join and become a member of the fire company to which his district belongs, and for neglect or re fusal thereof, he shall forfeit and pay one dollar each month so ne glected or refused." The ordinance was enforced, too, and there were many men who be came members of tho Union or Friend - ship companies. • • » The interest being taken in the con tests in the license courts this month recalls the battles of twenty-five years ago when the citizens of different wards used to wage campaigns to re duce the licenses. The late H. Murray Graydon was for many years the leader in the remonstrance work and more than once forced the closing of doors. The number of licensed places has been slowly diminishing in the city and some of those put out of business a score or more years ago have never been able to get licenses again. • • The compensation claim case to be heard here next week has attracted much attention throughout the State where men keep track of such mat ters. It raises for the first time the liability of an employer for work done after hours. It appears that Noah Maulfair, the victim of the accident, was making a delivery of some but ter after hours. Now whether It was bein£ done as an accommodation or in the course ct dally employment is what will be threshed out The case has some possibilities. • • A large party of Rotarians and their wives will attend the eastern dis trict conclave of the organization at ] Baltimore February 22.
