THAT EXTRA HOUR THAT "extra hour of daylight" Idea has strong appeal for the average man who finds the de lightful spring and summer days all too short for his purposes. True, un der the present arrangement, he may arise an hour earlier and thus gain sixty minutes of sunshine, but taken In that way it would fall at the wrong end of the day. Added to the time after work is over in the afternoon, on the other hand, this additional hour could be utilized to suit the individual and the effect would be to give everybody ample time for that outdoor diversion which has become so popular in sum mer. We require less of sleep dur ing the warm months so that the hour robbed from bed in the evening would not be missed by most people, while tho added leisure period would be greatly appreciated. Having almost completed its work in acquiring the properties embraced within the Capitol Park extenson zone the commission charged with this im portant public service will step aside for the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings. This body, which comprises Governor Brumbaugh, Auditor General Powell and State Treasurer Young, will then follow with a complete survey of the park district embraced in the ter ritory bounded by Third, North and Wal nut streets and the Pennsylvania Rail road. Upon the completion of this sur vey the landscape treatment can be in telligently considered and Governor Brumbaugh will be in a position to make a comprehensive recommendation to the Legislature. PREPAREDNESS IX 100 A. I>. THE Grecian philosopher Eplctet us, had he lived to-day, undoubt edly would have opposed the Ford-Bryan peace philandering, for see what he has to say on the matter of preparedness: "Keep neither a blunt knife nor an 111-disciplined looseness of tongue." And Eplctetus, who had plenty of time to think about things, worship ped at the shrine of Reason. Responsive to the suggestion of the Telegraph and the campaign conducted by this newspaper, Harrisburg is going to be a fragrant and beautiful city this summer. For years the floral decora tions of the Telegraph Buil'ding have been greatly admired and the artstic example is now being emulated all over the city. During the next two weeks porch and window boxes will be in stalled on every street. COMPELLED TO BUY HERE THE New York Journal of Com merce recently gave a table showing the value of exports to the various South American nations for the nine months ended September, 1914—573,692,647 and September, 1915—5103,534,615 —the figures being taken from statistics published by the Department of Commerce. "Cut off from the normal source of supply in Europe by the war," said the Journal of Commerce, in commenting on the $30,000,000 increase for tho nine months period, "it appears that Southern buyers are looking to man ufacturers here for merchandise of descriptions." ■ This was a correct diagnosis. Sec retary Redfield can not load the mails 'down with sufficient government-paid publicity material to convince thinking people to the contrary. During the nine months ended Sep tember, 1913, the world was enjoying peace, and, under the Republican pro tective tariff, the United States was reaping the fruits of husbandry" and the reward of manufacture. Spread out on the counters was the stock-in trade of every selling nation to catch the eyes of Latin America. We were competing for her patronage with every commercial country, and our competition was not then bolstered up by the financial operations of the Na tional City bank of New York, nor ■was the $50,000,000 overseas trading corporation then in immediate pros pect. Nevertheless our exports to the South American republics during that nine-months period totaled sllO,- 244,795, or nearly $37,000,000 more than for the 1914 period, and $7,- 000,000-more than for the 1915 period, when the shops of Europe were either closed by the Iron hand of war, or bonding their energies to supplying WEDNESDAY EVENING, military paraphernalia for the bel ligerents. It is a pretty good com mentary on the effect of a protective tariff on industrial America. After the war, what? All Europe will be steaming up to regain lost trade. The hosts of war must give over their sanguinary employment and labor In the mills. They will work side by side with women. Wages may be pitifully small. The mar kets for those nations will lie in the western hemisphere. Huge sur pluses of products will be piled up that a higher efficiency may be gain ed and labor constantly employed. These surpluses will be thrown on the western markets, and If the United States then should be wallowing in the Democratic free-trade slough of despond our country will be a victim of this commercial drive. Industrial ly paralyzed at home, how can we hope to extend our sales In South America, or even retain what, under a Democratic Administration, a for eign war has enabled us to acquire? Already the prospect of foreigners dumping on our shores has set Secre tary Redfleld's knees to clattering. Moreover, because the Latin Ameri cans have not yet developed manu factures, they will have no industries to protect, and will enact no laws to prevent dumping and the consequent driving out of American goods. They will buy at the lowest prices obtain able. If the United States is to retain an Important position In South Ameri can trade, our manufacturers and ex porters must first feel secure in the home market. That must be the citadel from which they direct their commercial conquests abroad. A man can't fight if he is attacked in the rear. And no business, manufactur ing, mining or agricultural, ever feels secure under a Democratic adminis tration. The change to Republican control must come in 1916, or the re action from the stimulating effects of the European war will stop the heart beats of industrial enterprise in the United States. To-morrow will be Good Roads Day, and the Governor will lead the forces in a further effort to Improve the Penn sylvania highways. Meanwhile City Commissioner "Billy" Lynch is pushing the repairs of the paved streets of Har risburg so that our reputation for the best-paved city in the United States may be maintained. WHERE (IS THE ROAD ROLLER? WHERE is the road roller which performed such herculean labors at Chicago In 1912?" asks a Western exchange, of Demo cratic leanings. No Republican newspaper would ask such a question. Republicans ap pear to be getting along very well without the road roller this year and certainly they will not need it during the convention which begins June 7. But, If it is any satisfaction to our Western contemporary, we can tell it where the old road roller Is at this particular moment and where it will remain for some time. It is safely stored at St. Louis conveniently near the Democratic convention auditor ium, oiled, primed and In perfect run ning order, ready to do duty in the re nomination of Woodrow Wilson. Begins to look like rapid elimination of the entries for the Presidency. Hughes has nothing to say, but his silence is eloquent of the Barkis atti tude, and the same might be said of Root. As to the Colpnel, his hat's in the ring. THE POWER OF SOXG THOSE Germans; those French, they know how to light because they know how to sing," ex claims a Russian journalist fresh from a tour of the fighting front in France, where he heard the troops of both sides, facing death constantly and living under incredible hardships, singing the songs and hymns of their countries. "It was most inspiring," he continues, "this defiance flung by indomitable human souls into the very face of death, and singing so to gether those who go back to their work after this cruel war is over will ever stand closer together in the bonds of human brotherhood because of that experience." This country learned the power of song in Civil War days. We are Just now learning all over again the les sons of those days. All over the land the Rotary clubs have taken up song as one of the chief features of their meetings, with special emphasis on themes of brotherhood, service and good cheer. The United States Bureau of Education, realizing the need for community singing, has pre sented five social center songs that are making a great impression where they have been used. In regard to communal singing Dr. Samuel Mc- Chord Crothers, at a general neigh borhood gathering in a schoolhouse community center, said: You have found a substltue for war. The military fellows say that it takes a war to make people really feel together—to KNOW a common interest, to OWN a com mon country. And how do they prove it? They tell us that from '6l to '65 we were a singing nation; and that's true. Those were tile days we learned "Tenting To-night," "Mine Kyes Have Seen the Glory," "Maryland. My Maryland," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home." We learned them then and we sang them then. Since then we've just been "warming over" the words. I was a boy in tnose days. 1 heard it, and 1 never expected to hear that note again. But 1 have heard it again. I have heard it here to-night. You sang in that spirit. What does it mean? It means that down underneath you have been gripped by tiiat same throbbing common reality—not lim ited by any fear or hate at this time. You KNOW a comon interest. You OWN a common country. You've proved it for you've sung in that spirit. "Gloomy cares will be made less by song," says Horace, but not only that. Song heartens the singer and brings him closer to the man at his elbow. Men sing in fellowship, and fellowship begets understanding, and understandine trust, and trust love and love a desire for service and sacri fice. and so the world is made better. Why not make the slope of the River Front, from Division street to Iron al ley. blossom throughout the summer with all manner of hardy blooming shrubbery? Whatever will grow should be planted now. Won't some Democrat please make a list of the things this administration has done to put America First In com petition with the rest of the world. "Pofcctcc* Ov ""Pe-KKOiftccuvta Sj the Ex-Commltteeman Senator Boies Penrose last night tarried the war into Vare territory by declaring that the primary election ought to be investigated in the Flist Congressional district, that part of Philadelphia in which the Vares ure supreme. The Senator was informed that the Attorney General was in vestigating the primary election in s,ix congressional districts in the State be cause ol' reports of fraud in the elec tion ot national delegates. He replied by saying that the probe ought to be inserted in the Vare citadel. The Sen ator s statement drew an angry retort from Congressman W. S. Vare, who declared that the primaries were a victory for the Governor and that not only had the Governor cinched foriy four delegates, but that he had be come the new leader of Pennsylvania Republicans. Senator E. H. Vare de clined to reply to the statement, but It is said that the Penrose charges have caused a flutter in Philadelphia and are believed to indicate that the Senator is getting ready to start his iS?,\' e , for a change of government in Philadelphia ami possibly a probe of the State administration along various lines. "As far as I am concerned," Senator Penrose said, "1 welcome any investi gation of the election in Pennsylvania, not only In connection with the elec tion of delegates, but of the nomination of Congressmen and other officers. 1 am not informed of the violation of the law anywhere In Pennsylvania ex cept in the First district. In that dis trict a great deal of data has been accumulated in the form of attidavits of high-handed methods and illegal practices, which will be promptly fol lowed up and made the basis of legal proceedings. The State will be startled by the publication of the facts in South Philadelphia. The Vare influence in that section of the city is based on practices which will not be tolerated by decent Republicans ot' the State." Congressman Vare came back this way: "As a result of the recent pri maries in Pennsylvania 1 believe that there will be a different kind of lead ership at Chicago this year than was noted in 1912. Governor Brumbaugh was given a great vote of confidence by the people of Pennsylvania at the recent primaries, leading Penroso by 10,000. He also led Senator Oliver by 20,000, and if it had not been for a cheap political trick played by the lieutenants of Penrose in Pittsburgh 65,000 more votes would have b'jen added to the Brumbaugh lead. Those who managed the State campaign for the reorganization and reuniting of the Republican party from headquar ters in Harrisburg are confident that the official returns will show a total of forty-four anti-Penrose delegates out of a possible seventy-six. The char acter of the delegates Is sufficient proof that they will not submit to such lead ership as brought about the wrecking of Republican chances in 1912. There will be a new spirit, a new leadership at Chicago this year, with the welfare of the Republican'party, and not the selfish purposes of certain special in terests, as the goal." —The manner In which one William Baker, of Harrisburg, some times known as Harry Baker, ran in tho Lancaster county primaries is causing comment. Mr. Baker led the field in the Republican delegate-at large contest just as he did in Dauphin and Perry counties. The Lancaster New Era says that Baker got 6,900 votes, while the nearest man to him was Mayor Armstrong, of Pittsburgh. The Governor got 6,318 votes and Pen rose 6,190. —B. P. Davis, who was yesterday reappointed collector of internal reve nue for the Ninth district, which em braces this part of the State, is a Democratic war horse of Lancaster. He has been county chairman and member of the state committee and was a member of the Democratic re organization committee which Übed the ax. —Bucks county, where the Grundy and Swart ley forces have been doing some "scrapping," had an interesting .Republican primary. Snyder got 3,957 votes and Ambler 910. —Speaker Ambler, if named as In surance Commissioner, could not take the place until December, when his term would expire. —Senator McNichol gives it as his opinion that Hughes is in the lead. —Representative John W. Vicker man, of Bellevue, Allegheny county, who was here to-day to see the Gov ernor, is being complimented upon the fine vote given to him for renomi- j nation to the House. Mr. Vickerman was the high man in his district, lie will play a prominent part in the nexL House. —B. Frank Ruth, prominent Read ing Progressive, says that he believes both Penrose and Brumbaugh will wind up by being for Roosevelt. —The Wilkes-Barre Record says editorially that the bulk of the voters arc either too indifferent or too igno rant to pay proper attention to the primary system and that it is but nat ural that there should be heard de mands for return to the convention system, which the Record, however, opposes. —General Charles Miller, former commander of the National Guard, ap pears to have cantered away from tnc rest of the field for Republican dele gate in his district in the oil country. The general is uninstructed. —The Reading Kagle has joined many other newspapers throughout the State in opposition to the present primary law and demands for a change in the system which will simplify matters. —Governor Brumbaugh stood sec ond on the list in the Luzerne primary pnd Senator Penrose was fourteenth. Gossip is that Representative Fred C. Ehrhardt, of Scranton, is to be put forward as a speakership can didate next winter. —lt looks as though David Martin would land the vacancy in the Phila delphia commissionership for one of his henchmen. —Backawanna county gave Brum baugh 5,279 votes and Penrose 4,341. —George D. Porter is out with a new statement in which he scores Sen ator Vare. The battle of the state ments is waging fiercely in Philadel phia. *Room For Both [Johnstown Leader] The result of the Republican pri maries in Pennsylvania means that the voters of Pennsylvania are big enough to appreciate both Senator Penrose and Governor Brumbaugh as party leaders and as public servants, without being willing to recognize either as a dominant power in party affairs to the exclusion of the other. The result of the primaries means that there is no chance /or party wreckers this year, and that no rivalry for leadership will be permit ted to split and defeat the party as it did in 1912. Let Us Worship O, come, let us worship and how down; let us kneel before our Maker. —Psalm 95-6.

You and Your Neighbors [Johnstown Tribune] The pioneers made their towns beautiful by getting out with spade and watering pot, and planting whole rows of trees along the streets. They were amply repaid, in enjoyment of the beauty they created and in better value of real estate. Nowadays this Is left to public officials. Instead of getting out themselves and planting trees, citizens will call up the proper official and ask hifn why he does not set out something on their streets. Improvements that have to wait on public funds wait long. The appro priation is usually exhausted, rind politicians see other uses for money. Neatness is not exactly beauty, but there can be no beatity without neat ness. Every piece of paper set adrift, every heap of rubbish, lowers the tone of a town and helps create the spirit of disorder. People are governed by the Influence of neighbors. If one man cleans up and paints up, the spirit of Improvement sweeps through the whole street. If he lets things go ragged, his neighbors fall easily into the slovenly' habit of letting well enough alone. Town beauty is not created so much by elaborate mansions or choicely de signed business blocks as by the transplanting and careful tending of green foliage and flowers within town limits, by the elimination of eyesores, by good taste in building and the re moval of disorder. Johnstown has shown signs of awakening to its pos sibilities for achievement along this line, but not much will be accom plished until citizens bare their arms to the task and "start something." f > WORK OF THE D. A. R. By Frederic J, Haskin v THE twenty-fifth annual congress of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, was held recently in Con tinental Hall, Washington. The Daugh ters of whom there are now a quarter of a million, have returned to their various communities with new sug gestions and ideas for their local activ ities in "cherishing, maintaining and extending institutions of America, and fostering true patriotism and love of country." While much publicity has been given the genealogical research work of the organization, few people are aware of the practical activities of the society. In the present preparedness campaign alone, the D. A. R. is a con siderable factor, standing ready to provide a generous supply of nurses, hospital equipment and other aid within its scope and'influence. During the Spanish-American War the organization was still in its in fancy. Nevertheless, it contributed a thousand nurses and over thirty thou sand hospital garments; spent two hundred thousand dollars in purchas ing delicacies for sick soldiers and looking after their families; in addi tion to which it presented a steam launch to the hospital ship Missouri to be used in transporting sick sol diers to and from the vessel. Two years ago, when war with Mexico ap peared inevitable, the society imme diately notified the President of its | THE STATE FROM DA/ TO DAT| Chester is running smoothly along Prosperity Grade, It seems, in view of the recent announcement from that section that by autumn 2,000 dwell ings will be built in the city and en virons to accommodate the vast in crease in the working population. * * * A number of workmen were playing that well-known shoving game, "f don't want you," on the rear platform of a Sheffleld-Warren street car the other evening, to the great discomfort of one John Ek, who retired from 'he game in a more or less unceremonious fashion and to the detriment of his scalp. • » » Marysville is to have a new shirt factory that will employ one hundred operators, and her neighbors are con gratulating the thriving little town on the acquisition to its industrial assets. * • • Sunday school picnics, tobacco and gum were frowned upon at a recent church conference in Lancaster.

Now that war is again immi nent, the same offer of assistance is forthcoming. 0 Promulgation of patriotism and the perpetuation of history are the two great motives of the organization. It spends annually many thou sands of dollars in improving civic conditions in all parts of the country. Patriotic societies are en couraged among children, who are taught to revere the flag and honor the great patriots of American history. One of these junior societies, "Cliilden of tho Revolution," is composed of youngsters whose heredity makes them eligible for membership in the D. A. R. or Sons of the Revolution when they become 21. Another so ciety, known as "Children of the Re public," was organized especially for immigrant children who are properly awed by the nobility and greatness of Lncle Sam and are enthusiastic in their pledges of allegiance to the flag. No other organization has done so much to eliminate the hyphen among immigrants in this country. The D. A. R. has established citizenship classes in tho largest immigrant com munities, and has arranged for lec tures in various languages 011 Ameri can citizenship and history. Tho Connecticut chapters of the society have published an immigrants' guide [Continued 011 Page 10] No worthier cause for contributions could be found. * * • The presiding officer at a recent social gathering in Pottsville while addressing the audience made a mis step and fell headlong from the *tage sustaining internal injuries and a broken rib.

Ibetthtg (Eljal Canoeists and others who take to ihe river for business or sport watch with interest the many caprices of the Susquehanna. Not to be outdone Wy the romantic "Father of Waters," the stream that flows past the city per forms many queer stunts with the topography of the valley through which it flows. Up opposite Marys ville a few years ago was a large island, the rendezvous of the town's small boys who wished to swim and the picnic ground of many of the borough's families on a holiday. To day, due to a whim of the river, only I s few- straggling trees, leafless and almost limbless and a few stumps sticking out of a sandbar, these are all that remain. To the hoy who once£ cavorted in the cool wuter beneath the overhanging trees of the island's banks, the spot is unrecognizable, save for one huge trunk, once a towering tree from the thick overhanging limbs of which he plunged into the waters below, but now a stark and gaunt guardian above the whirling waters that are slowly but surely undermin ing its roots. It js only a question of r few years, rivermen say, until this list grim trunk will first sag, then slowly give way to the stream's pres sure, topple and float bay-ward, a vic tim to a river's whim. Hut while tho moody Susquehanna Is destroying one place, it builds at another. Over op posite Hardscrabble there lies'a pair of squat islands known to canoeists as "Double Flats." A short distance towards the Harrisburg shore is a smaller island. Between the three, * >" en >" ago, was a deep channel through which canoeists could drift or paddle at will. To-day this channel is almost impassable. Drifting sands, shitted around by the Spring freshets, have clogged the stream and heaped up debris to the low water level. Old rivermen say that should the river not change its capricious mind, or un usually high waters interfere, within a few years this sand bar will grow— shrubs will sprout and the islands will be one. ♦ * * Although Lemoyne's paving propo sition was killed recently, progressive residents of Bosler avenue are plan ning to put the improvement through over the heads of those who refused to affix their signatures to the peti tion. The street, which is one of tho main thoroughfares of the 'cross river town is badly in need of improvement and the residents refused to have any thing but pavement. The men who refused to sign owned just a few feet fnore than the progressive residents who are anxious for the town to ad vance. It is a supposition that it may be possible for one of the prominent men of the town to purchase one of the lots, to enable the improvement to survive. ♦ ♦ * Fire Chief John C.
