THE TYPHOID STTI' VTION COMMISSIONER LYNCH Is justi fied in asking Stat© Health Com missioner Dixon for an extension of time to prepare plans for a sewage disposal plant for Harrlsburg. It is true that this recommendation of the Health Department has been hanging fire for years, but it must be said In extenuation that the matter has never been drawn to the attention of Com missioner Lynch during his term in Council. Therefore, he is in no po sition to render to the State authorities hastily made plans for such a plant or plants. Harrisburg, as Mr. Lynch says, will co-operate most heartily In rendering Its sewage free from contaminating agencies. The time will come when no community will be permitted to dump disease germs Into the stream which passes Its doors. But if the State Health Department is to be con sistent it will require of every city, town, hamlet and countryside to the north of Harrisburg—and below, too, for that matter—the same precautions that it is urging upon this city. As Mr. Lynch says, all that we may do will be of small service If the several million people to the north of us are to be permitted to continue to use the Susquehanna and its tributaries as a public dump and common cesspool. The thousand dollars set aside by Council for the employment of an expert and the treatment of sewage Is a step in the right direction. No body in the city's employ is qualified for this work. But no time should be lost in getting a man who is. There are those right here in Harrisburg well fitted for the duty. We should be as considerate of those down stream as we are desirous those above should be of us. We should apply the Golden Rule to this case, and we have every desire to do so. Haste In disinfecting Harrisburg's sewage is necessary. But In ad dition we are Interested In our own misfortune. We are beset by an epidemic that should have been nipped in the bud. The State Health Department was very properly inter ested in the protection of down-stream communities, but we should have felt just a little more kindly if the letter that told us to hurry up with our pro tective measures had contained some equally sharp recommendations as to how we should go about helping our selves. There appears to be some mis understanding: between the local health authorities and those of the State. Harrlsburg is not interested in petty bickerings between officials. Such ocurrences too frequently raise a cloud of dust that hides the real issue. Just now Harrlsburg is inter ested most In wiping out its own epidemic. All other matters are of necessity secondary considerations, important though they may be. If coal prices continue to advance we may reach a state where we would rather endure cold weather than have a fire. It 'sn't the man with money to burn, but the man with coal to burn who is to be envied. "A FRIEXD OF LABOR" ' A FRIEND of Labor" is the cap tion over a Democratic news paper cartoon of President Wil son signing the Adamson law. It should have been "A Friend of 400,000 laborers." A true friend of labor would have Included the helpless track workers, the shopmen who tried In vain to or ganize for self-protection and the thousands of other laborers In the rail road service who are not numerous enough each in their own class to form powerful organizations. These men could not Join in the eight-hour move ment. but If the eight-hour day is right for some it la so for all. Also, has the President taken any action In the settlement of the street car strike* over the country, the milk strike In New York or the oil strike In New Jersey? He has not, although the principles are the same as those of the railroad dispute. Everyone has met the man who Is charm in* i n company, but a - . WEDNESDAY EVENING, BXRRIBBURG tfigftl TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 18, 1916. sorehead and a grouch In his own family. There la a suggestion of this Individual in the fact that while Mr. Wilson publicly proclaims that "the eight-hour day has the sanction" of society," he not only permits the postal clerks to be worked far more than eight hours, despite the law against it, but that in the Bureau of Engrav ing and Printing, almost opposite Mr. Wilson's own windows In the White House, men and women are being worked ten. twelve and even fourteen hours a day. There is a law which prevents a pri vato employer from working women and girls more than eight hours a day and in Washington it Is generally en forced; but when It suits the purpose of Crown Prince McAdoo to work the women and girls, as well as the men in the Government's great money fac tory front 8 a. m. to S and 10 and even 13 p. m., it is done without hesitation, probably on the theory that a crown prince, like a king, "can do no wrong." Because of the extraordinary value of the product, the employes in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing are kept locked in, and as President Wil son and his son-in-law sit on the south porch of the White House smoking their cigars of a summer evening they can gaxe across the wide lawn and see the brilliantly lighted money factory where the laws designed to protect women from overburdensome labor end to prevent men from toiling more than eight hours are so frequently and so flagrantly violated. Therefore the suggestion— "Mr. Wilson—Friend of (a Part of) Labor." Germany appears to be terribly put out because the allies won't make peace on her terms, but if Germany will make her terms comply with those of the al lies maybe the trouble can be over come. THE HIGH SCHOOL LOAN LESS than throe weeks remain In which to educate the public to the urgent need of adopting: the proposed new high school loan—and much edu cation along- that line is needed. Not everybody realizes conditions as do those directly in charge. Hundreds of people are not interested and others are openly opposed to further Increasing the school debt for the purpose because they place the dol lar mark above that of public educa tion. If the loan Is to be passed much work must be done, and done now and continuously up until the close of the polls on election day. The high school loan was defeated before both because of the selfishness of certain persons who gave more at tention to the tax rate than to the welfare of the children of the city, and for the reason that there was, be yond question, a lack of public confi dence In the school board as then con stituted. Certainly, neither objection can be raised at this time. The char acter and caliber of the men who are in control of school affairs in the city is above question. They are honest and able. With respect to the tax question, the public has it from no less an authority than President Stamm himself that the present tax rate is sufficient to cover the interest and sinking, fund necessary for build ing and equipping the proposed new schools. Harrisburg is sorely pressed for high school facilities. The teaching force Is overworked as a result of the double session method made nec essary by the overcrowded condi tions and boys and girls are in school little more than half the time they should be. But badly as we need a new high school now, conditions will be Infinitely worse two or three years hence. The city is Just on the verge of another great move forward. New families will come to Harrisburg by the score as the town grows. These will look to the city to educate their children as other cities do. But lack of proper educational advantages will keep away from here many others who would coine. Already there are on record specific Instances of this. Businessmen and traveling men re main elsewhere or go elsewhere be cause of our miserable failure to give our high school students proper quar ters and equipment This is a direct loss in dollars and cents to the com munity. Once the subject is fully understood, the conditions painted In vivid colors for the enlightenment of the people, the financial end of the proposition properly outlined and the reasonable ness of the plan In mind made plain, there will be many converts to the high school loan who are now either simply not interested or openly an tagonistic. The difficulty is that the time is short for the kind of campaign that must be waged. The Telegraph publishes to-day the first of a series of news articles deal ing with the new high school move ment. Others will appear at inter- vato between this and election day. The more light the people have on the subject the better. This newspaper proposes to do Its part to that end. and to begin right now. Too much time already has been lost. So the Cily Forester has. resigned for a better Job. We don't blame him under the circumstances. Hut what Is the head of the Department of Parks going to do about the shade trees of the city which his retiring subordinate has shown to neeifc immediate attention? O-lil-ho-hum! While we are about our own school building program let us not forget to give all tlie encouragement possible to our neighbors of the West Shore. They need that proposed community liigli school more than anything they have ever asked for. and it is inconceivable that there should be any opposition. President Stamm stands forth as the champion of the School Board and the children of Harrlsburg. and challenges the opponents of the proposed school loan to meet him in oratorical combat. He Is thrice armed whose cause is jusv. and Mr. Stamm doubtless feels that the supporters of Improved educational facilities are full-panoplied for the conflict. There's nothing to prevent the oppo sition to the "Hardscrabble" improve ment appealing to the higher courts, so long as there can be found those willing to pay the price, but after the clear-cut and common-sense rulings of the loca* Court there would seem to be little en couragement to continue the legal warfare. Those who want to locate elsewhere should have the city's prompt consideration. ■ - —■—T I fMUc* Lk By the Ex-Coramltteenuu) The soft pedal has been put* upon the Democratic claims that Pennsyl vania presented chances for an in creased vote for Wilson and for in creasing the number of Democratic Congressmen. Democratic chiefs who were filling the air with claims a few weeks ago have come to the conclu sion that the funny season is over and thev are no longer talking about what they are going to do, but are bending efforts to save something from the wreck. A month ago the leaders of the Democratic State organization were having meetings every few days and telling each other ho\v line it looked for Wilson carrying Pennsylvania, etc., but since that time they have gotten among the people and have found out that they had been fooling themselves. The big registration in Philadelphia, Republican gains in registration in other cities, the general disregard of Democratic claims and the failure of the Democratic chiefs to have meet ings and parades and redfire and bands as promised have all had their effect, while the woe of Palmer and his pals has been accentuated by the activity of William Flinn and other Progressive leaders In behalf of Hughes. The Republican State Committee plans call for active work and it is the general belief that Republicans will make a big winning in Congressmen. —All the Progressive effort put forth four years a o "to get the Demo crats in" will be duplicated, enlarged and improved upon by the Progres sives this year to "get the Democrats out," William Flinn, Pennsylvania leader of the Bull Moose, sharing the speechmaking with Gifford Pinchot, told an audience of 2,000 at yester day's Hughes rally in Pittsburgh. Senator Flinn's speech, the first he has made in the campaign, came when Pinchot pulled him out of the au dience and upon the stage of the Al vln theater. Mr. Pinchot said: "Gov ernor Hughes' record in public life has been all a Progressive could ask. Hughes is not a ready promiser, but what he does promise he will fulfill." Former Republican National Commit teeman H. G. Wasson introduced the speakers, and the meeting turned into a Republican-Progressive union. —There will be a gain of Republican members of Congress from Pennsylva nia. according to a statement made by Congressman William S. Vare, of Philadelphia, to Prank P. Woods, of lowa, chairman of the Republican Congressional committee, at Washing ton yesterday. They went over the Congressional situation in Pennsylva nia and Mr. Vare explained the situ ation in some of the districts. They discussed the Issues which are being featured by Republican candidates in the various districts, and Mr. Vare said that his information led him to believe that there would be large gains In most of the districts. Progressives and Republicans were working in complete harmony, Mr. Vare said, and there was every evidence that all the districts would increase Republican majorities. "I believe," said Mr. Vare, "that we will carry several districts now held by Democrats. There are six Democrats in the House from Pennsylvania now, but I believe there will be fewer after the November elec tion. There is every Indication of a great Republican victory throughout Pennsylvania." —Congressman B. K. Focht, who has been touring his eight-county district, is being assured of strong support in every county and it is the general belief that he will win easier than he did two years ago. The Con gressman has been making an ener getic eontest and his attention to busi ness at Washington on behalf of his constituents is getting results. —lajzerne Republi. ansare expecting Philander C.

Places where they had boasted of Strength are showing up very poorly. —Several councilmen In St. Clair have been prosecuted on the ground that they are Interested In borough contracts. The papers are now being drawn for quo warrantos against councilmen In Tamaqua on similar charges. —Democratic "bagmen" who are reported to be abroad among- the post masters ot Pennsylvania are said to be receiving some expostulations about the calling for assessments at a time when the cost of living is so high. —Judging from the list* of speakers at Democratic mass meetings in Phila delphia, whose names are not men tioned in Market Square, Harrisburg. the Old Guard must be in complete control of the organization again. —Tyrone yesterday laid the corner stone of a city hall to coot $50,000. —Lackawanna county Republicans are holding nightly meetings in the towns in that county und things are reported to be in excellent shape for When a Feller Needs a Friend By BJRIGGS / *?

Finley, executive director of the Republican city committee. These figures, In addition to representing the largest registration since the personal registration act was passed, show an increase of 34,999 over the presiden tial campaign year of 1912, when the figures were 269,418, and an increase of 14,149 over last year. Republican registration was the largest ever re ported here, as the total count was 242.548, almost seven times the Dem ocratic total of 35,679. The nonparti san total was 22,181." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" ITALIAN" PRAISES AMATO To the Editor of the Telegraph: The Italian music lovers of Harris burg were delighted in full measure with the great concert given by Slgnor Aniato. Signor Amato is not only a master of voice, but every word had its expression and meaning. The great artist, Leoncavallo, who wrote "Pagli acci," would have been very proud of his "Prologue," and Verdi would be proud of his "Barbiere di Siviglia," as Amato sang them. Aniato brought great enthusiasm to the Italian colony and to show their feelings for a fellow-countryman, who is a great artist, presented ignor Aniato with a beautiful basket of roses. The presentation was made by Krank M. Entry, one of Harrisburg's talented singers. We extend our thanks to Mr. Hand for bringing to us so noted an artist, and we hope that Harrisburg will have more of it. Our admiration goes to Mr. Hochstein and Mr. I>afarge for helping to make this concert a success. Success to the artists and success to Harrisburg music lovers. (Signed) ITALIAN. HE FAVORS THE BRIDGE Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 15, 1916. To the Editor of the Telegraph: In an editorial you mention a con troversy regarding the Walnut street bridge. 1 am rather a close reader of newspapers and can not recall that there has been any controversy over it. It was put to a vote of the people and carried by a majority. The Planning Commission Immediately planned to prevent its completion. I believe not one newspaper in Harrisburg declared themselves for or against it. The Chamber of Commerce has remained silent. Only the Planning Commis sion opposes It An effort was made by citizens before the election to dem onstrate to those not familiar with the locality the Immense advantage to the entire city a bridge at Walnut street would be. The vote showed that they were successful. Uut as to any contro versy (except the successful efforts of the Planning Commission to kill it) I have yet to learn. In the minds of many citizens it is not to the credit of the newspapers or the Chamber of Commerce that they have not created a controversy over the matter. There has never been one logical reason given for opposition to the bridge. As to the bridge spoiling the esthetic beauty of the park, people smile at that, even those who, for vari ous reasons, are not particularly favor able to the bridge. Between "the ex pert architects and the Planning Com mission there will be no trouble in making the bridge an added beauty if they so wish. As to the widened sub way on Market street or a subway at State street solving the Hill traffic problem, it is simply ridiculous. I believe everyone will agree that the Mulberry street bridge was the greatest factor In the development of the pouth side of the Hill. The Cham ber of Commerce includes In its mem bership many gentlemen who benefited greatly By Its erection. These same gentlemen are active in this public body, so it's rather surprising that they have not used their influence In that body toward getting its help to push the Walnut street bridge so that the north side of the Hill might have the same chance of development. The conditions are exactly the same. The south side of the Hill had Just as easy access to the downtown section before the Mulberry street bridge was built as the north side has to-day. Even with SCHWAB GIVES HIS COLLEGE BOYS AND SUCCESS CHARLES M. SCHWAB, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany, has written an interesting article on "Succeeding With What You Have" for the November issue of the American Magazine. Some of his views of what brings success follow: "The college man who thinks that his greater learning gives him tho privilege of working less hard than the man without such an education is go ing to wake up in disaster. I regret that some college men enter industry with an inflated notion of their own value. They want to capitalize at once their education, and the time they spent getting it. They feel it is unfair to begin at the bottom, on the same basis with a boy of seventeen or eighteen who has never been to col lege. "A college man, entering industry, is worth no more to his employer than a common school or high school boy, unless he happens to be taking up some position in which higher edu cation is directly applied. Even then he has to adjust himself. Neither knowledge of the classics nor mathc* matlcal pVoficiency can be converted over night Into a marketable com modity. "Higher education has its chance later, when the college boy has mas tered all the minor details of the busi ness. Then, If he went to college with serious purpose, and studied hard and systematically, he has the advantage of a thoroughly trained mind to tackle larger problems, a mind which should be broader and more llexible because of Us greater powers of imagination and logical reasoning. Tho Closing Whistle "The man who has done his best has done everything. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing. "Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course. If more persons would get so enthused over their day's work that someone would have to remind them to go out to lunch there would be more happiness In the world and less indiges tion. If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work. A trained ear can do tremendous business in the obstruc tion line. Sometimes it listens so in tently for the toot of the quitting whistle that It quite loses the sense of spoken orders. "I have yet to hear an instance where misfortune hit a man because he worked overtime. I know lots of instances where It hit men who did not. Misfortune has many cloaks. Much more serious than physical in jury is the slow, relentless blight that brings- standstill, lack of advancement, final failure. "The man who fails to .give fair service during the hours for which he is paid Is dishonest. The man who is not willing to give more than this is foolish. "In the modern business world 'pull' Is losing Its power. 'Soft snaps' have been sponged oft the slate. In most big companies a thousand stockholders stand guard over the cashier's window a subway in State street I do not be lieve these gentlemen would care to have their wives or children use it. And. if they really have the interests of the people at heart, careful thought should be given to the wonderfdl sav ing of street car fare that a bridge at Walnut street would mean to the people. It would mean a loss to the railways company, and no one wants to take one penny away from any legitimate corporation, but surely the people are well worthy of consid eration. We are all in favor of getting all the beauty out of everything that we can. The people have contributed lib erally toward the beauty thought. The Hill people cannot be charged with any backwardness in that way. But because we have no Influential men to urge It and because, without one logical reason to advance against It, a body of public officials say they are against It pnd "that settles it" does not speak well for the fairness of either news papers or a Chamber of Commerce that talks of Its Interest In the people's welfare. Respectfully, WALNUT STREET. where formerly there were ten. The president's son starts at scratch. Achievement is the only test. The fel low who does the most work is gclng to get the most pay, provided he shows equal intelligence. "Captains of industry are not hunt ing money. America is heavyfwith it. They are seeking brains—specialized brains—and faithful, loyal service. Brains are needed to carry out the plans of those who furnish the capital. "The man who attracts attention is the man who is thinking all the time, and expressing himself in little ways. It is not the man who tries to dazzle his employer by doing the theatrical, the spectacular. The man who attempts this is bound to fail. "Andrew Carnegie first attracted at tention by using his head to think with. It was when he was a telegraph operator on the Pennsylvania railroad under Colonel Thomas A. Scott. One morning a series of wrecks tangled up the line. Colonel Scott was absent and young Carnegie could not locate him. Things looked bad. "Right then Carnegie disregarded one of the road's'strictest rules and sent out a dozen telegrams signed with Colonel Scott's name giving orders that would clear the blockade. Young man,' said the superintend ent a few hours later, 'do you realize that you have broken this company's rules?' " 'Well. Mr. Scot', aren't your tracks clear and your trains running?' asked the youjig telegrapher. "Colonel Scott's punishment was to make Carnegie his private secretary. A few years later, when the colonel ro tired from office, he was succeeded by the former telegrapher, then only twenty-eight years old. "Business Before Pleasure" "I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job lust ahead is to work a little harder than anyone else on the job one is holding down. One of the most successful men I have known never carried a watch until be began to earn SIO,OOO a year. Before that he had managed with a nickel alarm clock in his bedroom, which lie never forgot to wind. Young men may eniov dropping their work at 5 or 6 o'clock and slipping into a dress suit for an evening of pleasure; but the habit lias certain drawbacks. T happen to know several able-bodied gentle men who got It so completely that now they are spending all their time, days as well as evenings, in dress suits, serving food in fashionable restaurants to men who did not get the dress suit habit until somewhat later in life. 'Kecently we have heard much about Investments. To my mind, the best Investment a young man starting out in business can possibly make is to give all his time, all his energies, to work—Just plain, hard work. After a man's position is assured he can in dulge in pleasure If he wishes. He will have lost nothing by waiting— and gained much. He wili have made money enough really to afford to spend some, and he will know that he has done his duty by himself and by the world."

My Joy rose high, because it pleased Me muchly, bo, to learn That should so much interest take, And for my verses yearn. And so I told them that I'd had More work than I could do, But that I'd try to And the time To write a verse or two. And then they crushed me thus: "O, no, That Isn't what we meant: We'd rather hoped their absence was To be quite permanent. lEbenittg (Hljal "Plain labor is $3 per day now,'" said one of the city's best known, businessmen, a man who has to deal with large enterprises nnd who has tq know the prices and the laws of sup- Ply and demand. "It is the highest I ™ v ® ever known and a man is getting ?3 for pushing a wheelbarrow. I do not know how long it will last and a ot 1 know are not worth it.

I have been In touch with labor condi tions a long time and if materials kee on going up x think that a good manjf building propositions and other im provements will be deferred until times are not so good. It's rather an odd way to put it, but It is the truth." Charles Ijobdell, member of the Federal Farm Loan Hoard, who was here yesterday, and Horace A. Keefer, of Linglestown, had a meeting yester day for the first time in years. They sat close together when they woro members of the Kansas Legislature and oddly enough, farm loans was ons of the subjects they debatod In tho Topeka capitol in those days. Touring through Pennsylvania ro veals many pleasantly agreeablo things about our State that can be appre ciated only by an extended automobilo trip among the more attractive sec tions of beautiful scenery. Tho roads for the most part are excellent, al though the toll charges In some locali ties are a blot upon the 'scutcheon of those communities and neighborhoods; the stretch of State highway between Lewistown and Mifflin, in particular, is startitngly good, almost like glass, and a credit to the State. It is said that this road is so smooth and easy of travel that roller-skating parties frequently make the trip from one town to the other, a distance of 20 miles, and cover the distance in a comparatively short time. The tall form of Victor Plolett, former legislator from Bradford and o-n of tho most influential furmers of thu State, was seen at tlic Farm Hoard hearing: yesterday. He was an inter ested listener, l>ut declined to make a speech although there have been oc casions known at the Capitol when ho could and did make them. Secretary to the Governor Ball "put it over" on a Pittsburgh man the other day. The Governor went to Pitts burgh to make a speech and there was no secrecy about It. Rut it happened that a man came around and getting Mr. Ball some yards away from every person, whispered: "Has the Governor an advance copy of his speech?" Mr. Ball locked at. the man who was trying to "hand one" to some col leagues and responded with the ut most gravity and the same whispered tone: "Sh-h-h. the Governor does not know he is to make a speech." More college presidents have been here ihe last few days than for a long time. The ether afternoon President Hibben of Princeton and half a dozen other figures in the educational world were at the station for a time. Soma were on their way to the Warfleld in stallation at Wilson. Harrisburg got in bad officially th<k other afternoon. A day or so ago ref™ erence was made In this column to the tags calling attention to the fact that a car is on the wrong side of the street or placed in violation of tho traffic regulations which are being placed about town when occasion re quires. The automobile of the bureau of highways was one of the lirst to be "tagged." It was on the wrong side. • • • A good story is being told about the torn cat living in the eastern part of the city which got some of tho food and stimulant prepared for a typhoid patient. The cat does not know yet what hit it, but it knows that it had a corking time with noth ing to worry about. Whether it had a headache or not deponents do not state. In any event the cat was ac cidently given a milk punch prepared for a typhoid patient. After a look of delighted surprise this staid old cat began chasing its tail and in tho evrnHons banged up against chair and table legs and turning two or three somersaults in kittenish fashion. Finally it started to climb up a trellis llgure on the wall paper and wi\s ignomlnoualy thrown Into tho backyard where It was found sleeping in the rain. WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —Pm-uki u.
