THE PAPER MARKET ONE of the serioue developments i of the business situation is the | condition of the paper market. There is no more generally used prod uct than paper and no more necessary adjunct to the life of the community j than printing. The country Is unusu ally prosperous. More paper is being i used than ever before. The demands of business for all manner of printed forms, catalogs and stationery are greater than ever. Newspapers are feeling the reflex of the general pros perity in advertising and the daily con sumption of news print has increased tremendously. The paper mills even in ordinary times would be pressed to capacity to meet such demands, but when they must make up for the lack of Imports from Europe, resist the pressure caused by the export of wood pulp for war purposes (instead of meet a part of their needs by the Import of pulp as formerly), and in addition see the powder manufacturers buying up rags at almost prohibitive prices, it re quires no expert to forecast the result. Printing prices are already high and going higher, although the profits to the printer are less than formerly, and j newspapers are reaching the place where they cannot renew their con- I tracts for white paper at any price, j What will happen if the news print 1 situation becomes much more acute is i that some little papers will be put out! of business entirely and those remain ing will be forced to a two-cent basis. How grave the conditions are can be fully realized only by those in closest touch with them. NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY IT is to be regretted that Harrisburg J does not patronize more liberally the efforts of the Natural History Society to give this city a series of lec- i tures seldom heard outside the big metropolitan centers. Last evening's lecture, by Dr. Frederick Monsen, noted artist and explorer, is an ex ample. Dr. Monsen came fresh from the Mexican border. He Is intimately acquainted with Villa, who once acted as his guide through the mountains, and he knows Carranza and almost all of the leading figures in that troubled i country. He brought a message first hand that every Harrisburger should have heard—but the audience was pitifully small. Perhaps the weather had something to do with It, but not everything. The Natural History Society has done more to develop an interest In science, natural wonders, history and exploration than any other force in Harrisburg. It is bringing the college to our doors and arousing a wholesome ini crest in things worth while. Its work is a labor of love and its officers often go down in their own pockets to meet deficiencies. It is a wholesome influence in the community and it should be encouraged. It takes an optimist of high caliber lo believe that Spring Is only a few days ahead. SEEING AMERICA MR ST THE Importance of pressing home the "Seeing America First" propa ganda of which so much has been made since the outbreak of the European war is emphasized by As sociated Press correspondence from France, to the effect that already a movement is under way to attract Americans to France after the signing ot a peace treaty. A "Committee of French Hotel keepers" that has recently came into existence will urge that a million Am ericans go to France immediately after the war to visit the sites which have become famous during the hostilities. All sorts of suggestions are being put forward. One is that a broad highway should be laid down along the front from Dlxmude to Belfort, to lie called "The Holy Koad," with plenty of good hotels at intervals, simply furnished, but each containing from eighty to a hundred rooms and nn abundant supply of baths. An other suggestion is the formation of THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 16, 1916. special tourist trains running from the Channel to Belfort, in which the tourists should live and sleep while they are sightseeing. Meantime, the committee of hotel- Keepers is busy preparing for the ad vent of the visitors by training staffß to replace the German and Austrian managers and waiters of the pre-war period, renewing furniture, repainting and repapering, and In particular Im proving the sanitary arrangements in the various hotels. One writer, treating of a subject now occupying a good deal of atten tion, thinks France ought to devote her efforts to attracting tourists In stead of organizing with a view to in creasing her export trade. "Why," he asks, "send our products to the for eigner when we can bring the for eigner to our products? Let us then 'export inland' let us attract the foreigner and put him in the way of seeking and testing our native wares." We have kept our millions of tour ists and millions of money homo for the past two years. What are we doing to induce them to stay at home after the war is over? Are we, in the midst of a most prosperous era of expansion, doing anything to com pare with the plans of these energetic Frenchmen who propose to capitalize even a national catastrophe? The robins and blackbirds and blue birds are with us, and they are hungry. Feed them with a few crumbs now and they will repay you when the bugs get busy. WHAT IS THE MATTER ? MANY a citizen who looked to see the army sweep over the border in immediate pursuit of Villa will.wonder why the delay. Ap parently very valuable time is being lost in preparation for the expedition while Villa is, perhaps, getting far ther and farther into the mountains. It will occur to many thoughtful peo ple that proper administration of the army's affairs along the border would have resulted In preparation for the immediate launching of such an ex pedition as is now under way. It must have been long apparent that it was but a question of time until Amer ican troops would cross the Rio Grande, and the question now is, why was the army not ready for Instant action? What is the matter? "Nothing but talk In Congress," says an exchange. Wrong! This district ,has a representative In Congress with a reputation for action and common sense to back it up. EACH OF US MUST PAY EACH of us must pay, in one way or another, his share toward carrying out the program of preparedness for national defense. Some of us may be too old for active service, but each of us must con tribute nevertheless. Here and there an employer has declined to listen to employes who desire to attend the civilian training camps and service In the National Guard Is in some establishments frowned upon. Every employer must, sooner or later, come j to the understanding that he must so j arrange his affairs as to permit men who work under his direction to either attend the camps established by the government or otherwise to train themselves for service in case of war. The prospect is not pleasant, but it must be faced. Three years of "watchful waiting" is a poor endorsement for an adequate "preparedness" program. " PETROMORTIS" THE appearance of "new diseases" as the result of modern indus trial development is only one indication of the value to the work ing people of the State and to the public in general of such governmental regulation as that exercised by the State Department of Labor and In dustry. For instance, in the current monthly bulletin of the department, Commissioner Jackson pays his re spects to "petromortis," the latest claimant of newspaper notoriety, shows that It is only an old foe of the human race in new dress and tells how to avoid It. "Petromortis," ho finds, "is merely carbon monoxide poisoning, and the ! word, coined from a combination of petrol or petroleum and mortis the Latin word for death, will, perhaps from its construction, perform a ser jvice in bringing to the attention of garage workers and automobile own ers that, in a poorly ventilated garage, gas engine fumes are always danger ous and sometimes deadly." Don't tinker around your car In a closely confined building, is his warn ing, unless you want to run the risk of giving your family heart failure by finding you later stark and stiff on the floor beside the machine. The West Shore building boom cor responds with the energy and enter prise of that progressive district. GENERAL LOGAN'S IDEA GENERAL ALBERT J. LOCJAN, of the Second Brigade, National Guard, has very definite and practical ideas concerning the prepa ration of the men of the nation to defend it In case of foreign Invasion. He would have the government or the State provide several camps where each summer during the vacation period boys between the ages of 16 ! and 20 could undergo military train ing. Even the most captious can scarce ly take exception to this. Most boys would be improved physically and mentally by such a life In the open. Certainly the experience would be better for them than the two months of idleness that the vacation season brings to many lads, who either dwaddle around home or spend both time and money at summer resorts acquiring tastes beyond their means.

It is expected that the Senator will take up the challenge to his leadership after conferring with friends in that city. Meanwhile the Vares in Philadelphia, Commissioner Magee, in Pittsburgh, and other friends of the Governor throughout the State are getting very active and men con nected with the State government who have a taste or ability in politics are being scanned so that they can be put into Ihe field. The State adminis tration is planning the most vigorous sort, of campaign. The next move is up to the Senator. The Senator and the Governor will both be in Pittsburgh for the week end. The Governor is at Scranton to day and will be in Heading to-morrow and then go to Pittsburgh. The Sen ator goes to Pittsburgh to-night. ■—Announcement was made to-day that nominating papers for J. bee Plurnmer, former member from Blair, for State Treasurer had been put into circulation. Plummer announced him self as a candidate for the Republican nomination some liuie ago. He is well known throughout Central Pennsyl vania. The nominating papers for A. Mitchell Palmer for Democratic na tional committeeman have been started. The opponents of Palmer have not trotted out a candidate. —Democratic siding headquarters here is not making much noise just now, but the organization of the gang effort to retain control of the Sta«.o committee is under way. The sit uation is reported as improving every day, whether it is or not. —One of the most interesting of all the miles of matter being printed about the Vares is in the Philadelphia Ledger to-day. It says they may be come local optionists. The Ledger says: "Congressman Vare and Senator Vare, in line with their known attitude toward the liquor interests, according to informed political leaders, may be expected at any time in the near future publicly to declare in favor of the passage of a local option law in the 1917 session of the State Legislature. Those who profess to know the "in side" facts yesterday asserted that in private conversations the Vare antag onism to the antilocal optionists has been made plain. Politically, the local option phase of the Vare program is regarded as part of the state-wide movement to win national delegates for Governor Brumbaugh, who will try again to force the passage of a local option bill." —The Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin and Franklin Repository have joined the Altoona Tribune in strong articles booming Governor Brum baugh. The Jewish World, of Phila delphia, also urges him in an article to its readers. N —"Pledges that Lawrence and Ly coming counties will be solidly for Governor Brumbaugh in the event that he enters the May primaries as a presidential candidate were received by the Governor at llarrisburg yes terday." This statement appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper to-day, but at the Executive Department nothing was said last night about such letters. It was stated that certain letters and telegrams were given out in Philadel phia by Harry A. Mackey, chairman of the State Workmen's Compensation Board. —The Philadelphia North American to-day says: "Governor Brumbaugh, who. in the Interest of party harmony, announced on Monday that ho will permit his name to go before the presidential primaries in this state, will be vigorously opposed by Senator Penrose. A Penrose candidate for the presidency will oppose the Governor on the primary ballot. This was the substance of a statement made to a North American reporter last night by a close and inilucntial friend of Sen ator Penrose. Governor Brumbaugh's friends, on the other hand, are quietly outlining n campaign which they con fidently iiasert will result in an over whelming expression of the Pennsyl vania Republican voters in favor of Governor Brumbaugh as their choice for presidential candidate." —The Philadelphia Record indulges in some Jabs at both the Governor and j the Senator in a review of the Repub lican situation. The Record is un- ' happy over Democratic divisions and j making the best of the other family's I troubles. Referee Paul Houck had to hold a ; hearing in Allentown because a man who was injured said he was not sure how the compensation law would op- ; erate. —Wagner Hoffman, who sells news- j i papers to State officials and legis- ! i lators, is out for city committee, lie is a state figure and his campaign will be watched with interest. —The Luzerne county court granted 1,526 licenses yesterday. —Registration was generally light in moat of the first class cities yes. terday. —Mayor Smith is being bombarded by the Citizens' Republican league of Philadelphia for placing his son-in law in a specially created place and for appointing his butler an elevator Inspector. —Agitation over the move for a new charter in Pittsburgh has been re- ! vived, but there does not seem to be j much popular interest In it. —The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times to day says: "Separate political confer ences between the Governor and his adherents and Senator Penrose and his lieutenants are looked for. Both lead- j ers will stop at the new William Penn Hotel. While here it is expected Sen ator Penrose will express his views re garding Governor Brumbaugh's can didacy for President. Since the an nouncement was made by the Gov ernor the senior senator has made no public comment on it. A fight be ; tween the Penrose and Brumbaugh I forces on state and national delegates | and for state offices seems inevitable, I although there are a number of peace ] makers in the tield endeavoring to I bring the warring elements together in some kind of an agreement."

Haskin ONE of the biggest Philippine problems is the agricultural situation. One of the biggest tasks confronting whoever Is going to administer the Islands is that of put ting them where they belong as a productive world-unit. A fresh im petus to agricuituro is essential to real progress in the archipelago. In almost every particular, the present regime in the Philippines has so far out-distanced that of the Spaniards that we make comparisons half apolegetically, as though realiz ing it would be unsportsmanlike to measure our progress by the yard stick of Spain. But the rice and sugar production of the islands since 1898 has never exceeded the record made in the best years of the Spanish rule. Certain provinces have never been, as productive since the Insur rection as they were before. This is a question of first importance be cause the Philippines will always de pend primarily on agriculture as a source of wealth. The hitch in agricultural progress is due to the lack of labor, and to the quality of what labor there is avail able. Labor conditions on farms and plantations before 1898 were bad. The workingman did not want to spend his days at hard toil from which he received practically no return, but he had not much choice in the matter. Then came the United States and said: "We would like you to work, but un less you want to, you don't have to." To which the laborer somewhat, dis concertingly made reply: "Then I won't." The Filipino is a good workman. In the big sugar and tobacco mills he Is employed almost exclusively, not only in the lowest ranks but in posi tions of subordinate authority, and Americans are agreed that he does his work well. On the railways of the archipelago, the Filipino fills practi cally the whole payroll. A few of the highest technical and administra tive men are Americans, but laborers, conductors, engineers and clerks are natives. Tthe same thing is true of the Manila electric line. On the steamers that ply between the various islands most of the crews and some of the principal officers are Filipinos. According to all concerned, their work is satisfactory. In fact, Filipino labor seems to be at its worst in agriculture, whore the need for it is greatest. That there is no fundamental deficiency In the na- THE STATE FROM miQDRf |' The frequently expressed opinion that civilization of the modern day is not necessarily the highest that the world has known, receives from time ] to time additional support from the various discoveries that are made by research artists. The recent discovery of corsets 4,000 years old, formerly worn by the Cretans, and buried be neath tons of ancient dust, is one of tie latest. Dr. Edith H. Dohau, of Philadelphia, gave out this informa tion in a lecture given a short time I ago at the University of Pennsylvania. A meeting has been held in Barnes boro of practically all the mining com panies which have operations near that place for the establishing and maintaining of a co-operative llrst-aid and mine rescue station. There are seven or eight companies, operating an aggregate of about fourteen mines, and the rescue station as planned will be In a central location and of easy access to all the mines. Measles in Northumberland have closed a number of schools in that locality. It's an ill nieaslc that blows no good lucH to a schoolboy or girl! The Rev. Father D. J. Kane, former curate of St. Gabriel's Roman Cath olic Church at Hazleton, who has been appointed rector at Wellsboro. was the recipient of a purse of gold amounting 10 SBOB. given by friends at a farewell reception in his honor. Colonel h. A. "Watres, former Lieu tenant-Governor of the State of Penn who has just announced tlvc as a workingman, is shown by his record in other lines. It is simply a case where certain wrinkles in the situation must he Ironed out, certain deep-rooted customs and prejudices gradually obliterated T>y steady and patient effort. The relations of em ployers and land-owners to their tenants will have to be readjusted, until the workingman can see what he is working for, and that he is getting a direct benefit from any extra effort ho puts forth. The change must come slowly, without blare or sensationalism. Old customs must be superseded, and unless the directing hand proceeds cautiously there will be retrogression and confusion. It would seem a task for the insular administration, for the Bureaus of Agriculture and The question is, how to get the work ing man to work more; and that in volves seeing that he gets a larger share of the profits. A good illustration of the way pro gress must be adapted to local con ditions is furnished by the experience of big American contracting firms with native labor. These contractors are the men who built the railroads, piers and breakwaters of Luzon and the Visayans, who are working many of the mines and plantations to-day. When they first arrived in the islands, they tried to handle Filipino labor by American methods, and they got no where. They found that working men were not hired direct, that the unit was the gang instead of the in dividual. Each gang had a chief who directed its operations, and arranged with the employer lor wages. When the chief was hired, the gang was hired. When the chief quit, the gang quit. The Americans tried to do away with this system and deal with the men directly. They found that this method caused needless confusion, and a lowering of efficiency. Direct, supervision by American foremen was contrary to the customs of the coun try, and was resented by the work men. Now the gang chief bosses his subordinates, and supervising Am ericans give their orders through the chiefs. If they want to discharge a man they do not throw a lump of coal at his head and profanely order him to get his "time." They quietly sug gest to the chief that, it might be wise to replace Jose with somebodv who takes a little more interest in life. Next day there is a new man In Jose s place. | that he will be a candidate for elec | tion as delegate to the Republican national convention at Chicago in June, will come to this city in the near future for the big mass meeting of the Masonic Order, which will be held In the Masonic Temple. The damage suit against Evangelist Stough, brought by .William Cullen, of Hazleton for alleged slander, has been stopped by writ of certiorari Issued by Judge Witmer in the United States court at Scranton. | - 1 OUR DAILY LAUGH SOME MIND i couldn't loan me now I'm going ' lng my mind so ndl jVI li ll|B [ SAFE. v?

Tears nnd years ago Mr. Bible built several rows of houses along Cameron street. This was In the days when the brick yards were flourishing In that region and many employes took up their residence there on account of the low rents and nearness to their work, despite the fact that, the continual flooding of the district by Paxton creek made It unhealthful. Then this district was known as Sibletown, but that condition Is long since past. Tho dam In Wlldwood park has made floods a thing of the past and the peo ple have been encouraged to make many improvements. For Instance, they hnve at Herr and Cameron streets the very finest public play ground in the whole city and right at hand the water department's hand somely decorated grounds and offices are located. The Harrisburg Rail ways, through the enterprise of Pres ident Frank B. Musser has done a wonderful work In treating the land scape about the new carbarns until It looks more like a public park than a carbarn yard. In addition several very line churches have been built in the neighborhood, and the street car line now runs to Maclay street, with possibilities of a belt line and an ex tension to Wlldwood park one of the early probabilities. In recent years this district has gone forward by leaps and bounds and what was once swamp land and in some of the fields near the railroad is destined to become the best manufacturing property in the city. Sibletown, indeed, this locality is just as much a part of Harrisburg as any other. These community names are all disappearing. Scliudde madgeville, Verbeketown and Engle ton have all disappeared and with them has gone Sibletown. There is no such place." » » » Governor Brumbaugh has just been informed that two prizes given in his name by Col. John Gribbel, of Phila delphia, for the best hogs raised in Somerset county have been awarded. The prizes were established by Col. Gribbel during a visit to Somerset with the Governor and Mrs. Frank S. Black, wife of one of the members of tho State Commission of Agriculture, was in charge of the awards. Mrs. Black is a practical farmeress and wrote to the Governor about the awards. Tho prizes were awarded by a committee of "Die Hausefrauen," of Somerset c ounty. Mrs. Boose was awarded the first prize for the best weight, per porker showing 308 pounds in eight and a half months, while Mrs. Berke ley won the prize for the best return, receiving $38.33 from a hog weighing 240.
