The foolish fears of what may happen—
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scentcd grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy poppies'nod:
Where ill thoughts die and good are

Out in the fields with God!

OUR RIVER FRONT
ALEXANDER STUART, vice-presi
dent of the American Park Su
perintendents* Association and
head of the royal commission in
charge of the great parks of Ottawa,
Canada, came to Harrisburg yester
day especially to see our River Front
and to observe the progress wo have
made since 1910 in developing it. His
/ views are summed up in a few words
—a splendid foundation and little done
in the way of finishing touches.
That is true. We have 'laid the
foundations for a splendid park along
the river, but because Park Commis
sioner Gross failed to insist, when the
budget was being made up last. Spring,
upon appropriations large enough to
carry on the work of his department
and make the improvements neces
sary, the River Front has been woe
fully neglected. The path at the top
Is unkempt, the slope Is fissured by
flood and rain, planting has been
neglected, and the rip-rapping that
should have been done in preparation
for (he high water of the winter and
Spring remains for the most part un
done and the flood desposits of early
Spring still lie on the promenade at
the head of the wall.
If you asked you would be told,
probably, that there was no money
with which to do this work, that the
appropriation was too small. This, on
the face of it, is true, but the Park
Commissioner when he was in a posi
tion of influence in council could
have procured a much larger appro
priation had he been firm and insist
ent. Instead, he made a play to the
galleries, hoping to get more money
during the year as he needed it, and
now finds himself stranded, without
funds and at the mercy of his fellow
councilmcn.
But present conditions do not affect
the future. Each year brings new
opportunities. Mr. Stuart advises
that we concentrate on the River Front
and that we "do that job well." His
reason Is that the River Park Is so
located that It can be used by the
great bulk of the people. In this he
agrees with Mr. Manning and other
park experts who have given the mat
ter study. The thing to do, then, is to
see that in next year's budget there is
an item sufficiently large set aside for
river park work. Our greatest popu
lar resort and our most picturesque
and beautiful show plae must have
the finishing touches as well as the
foundation. We hope to have the Job
done to our satisfaction when the
Canadian park expert next visits us.
Why doesn't the President go over to
Bayonne and enact an Adamson law
for the oil company strikers? Shouldn't
they have an eight-hour day? Or aren't
they numerous enough to cause any
worry about their votes?
WATER SUPPLY PURE
OUR water supply Is pure. The
State Health Department chem
ists have analyzed It both before
it entered the reservoir and from sam
ples taken at spigots In private houses
and business places all over the city.
In all cases it was found satisfactory.
That clears away the doubt in the
minds of some concerning the possl.
billty of contamination between the
time the water leaves the filter plant
pure and la drawn from the hydrant
in the house.
Harrisburg spent hundreds of thou
sands of dollars some years ago In
filtration experiments and built what
has been regarded as a model filter
plant, the design of which has been
used extensively both in this country
and South America, It is gratifying
to learn not only that the water Jj

when It passes the filters that cost so
much, but that the mains and reser
voirs are also free from disease germs.
We can cure without great difficulty
the evils of impure milk or ice cream,
but we would have been sorely dis
tressed and puzzled had the source of
disease been traced to our much
boasted water supply.
The straw vote is almost as great a
nuisance as the hay fever.
OUR BUSIEST HOIJDAY SEASON
OUTLOOK is bright for the busiest
holiday season Harrisburg store-
keepers have ever known. Work
is so plentiful that laborers are at a
premium. Wages were never better
and if living costs are higher, at all
events the people have the wherewith
to meet them, which is considerably
better than low prices and no work.
It used to be that Harrisburg peo
ple spent much of their holiday
money in the larger cities. In recent
years this has changed gradually until
the local merchant has been encour
aged to enlarge and diversify his stock
to please the most exacting. The way
to make Harrisburg stores bigger and
better is to keep the money circulating
at home. Every dollar spent in other
cities robs the local community of
Just that much. If we spend a dollar
in Philadelphia we have the goods
and Philadelphia has the money, but
if we spend it at home we have both
the goods and the money, to para
phrase President Lincoln's oftquoted
views on the wisdom of a protective
tariff. And the more money there is
in Harrisburg, the better it is for the
wage-earner as as the business
man.
MILK PRICES
THE quality of milk and the price
of milk are factors in the
economics of every household.
Miik enters Into the diet and the
finances of every family. Where there
are children, babies especially. It is
of vital importance. Impure milk is
a deadly menace. Babies die because
of It, and many other little ones die
for lack of pure milk when the price
is so high that parents cannot afford
to provide it plentifully. Everybody,
therefore, is affected by the legisla
tion requiring farmers to improve the
quality of their product and every
purse is touched by the threat of the
producers and dealers to raise local
prices.
Farmers say that every sanitary
precaution adds to the cost of milk.
Dealers say the same. Unquestionably
this is true, to some degree. They
must provide clean quarters, costly
Implements for sterilization and
pasturizatlon and in other ways,
doubtless, the expenses of operating
a carefully supervised, sanitary dairy
are heavier than those of the man who
simply sells milk, without regard for
cleanliness or purity. In addition to
this, milk cows are high in price and
all manner of foodstuffs and dairy
appliances are selling away above
normal. It would appear that the
milk producer and the milk seller
have some reason back of their pro
posal to advance prices.
But in considering prices they must
not think in terms of "all that the
market will bear." Reason should
govern their deliberations. The people
will not stand for such extortion as
has been attempted once or twice, with
no sucess, in recent years. They may
find it necessary to go into the milk
business for themselves. If milk Is
to cost ten cents a quart, for Instance,
city regulations will be made cor
respondingly strict. A price that is
fair In Philadelphia would be en
tirely too high in Harrisburg. Phila
delphia and New York bring their
milk from long distances. Much of
that sold in Philadelphia is gathered
from the milk stations of the Cumber
land Valley. To get it to its destina
tion special milk trains are necessary
and freight charges are heavy. In ad
dition, local distribution charges In
the large cities are necessarily much
higher than those of Harrisburg.
Some advance In price may bo
necessary, but to assess Harrisburg as
much for milk produced at its doors
as Philadelphia pays for milk shipped
from points one hundrae to two hun
dred miles distant would be unjust
on the face of It.
There is one sure way of avoiding
typhoid—Don't eat or drink anything
that can possibly have the germs in it.
We don't mind building that disposal
plant, but won't Dr. Dixon please give
a little attention to the several towna
and cities up-stream?
"Wilson, Maker of History," is the
title of a Democratic pamphlet, but
Napoleon was also a maker of history—

By the way, won't somebody tell us
what the Democrats have done with
that "lower-the-cost-of-llvlng" Issue?
Those manufacturers of "Illuminated
keyholes" had better hurry and get
their product on the market before na
tional prohibition is enacted.
The Days of Real Sport . By briggs
I U
By the Ex-Committeeman
Republican state candidates, who
are touring the northwestern and
northern counties this week, are meet
ing with big crow"ds in almost every
town and are finding an abundant sen
timent in favor of Hughes and the
election of Republican congressmen.
The attendance at meetings has been
large and the receptions to the candi
dates cordial, while committeemen re
port that things are in excellent shape.
The party Is headed by Senator
Charles A. Snyder, candidate for
Adultor General, and Harmon M. Kep
hart, candidate for State Treasurer,
and Congressional Candidates-at-Large
Crago. Garland and McLaughlin are
traveling with them. The sentiment
for Republican congressmen Is as
marked as that fot- the state ticket and
the candidates are urging that Repub
licans work for the election of Repub
licans to the Legislature.
•—The withdrawal of Washington
party legislative candidates.is general
fill over the state and there Is much
pain caused thereby to the Democratic
schemers. In only a few districts have
the Democrats succeeded in making
some combinations on senatorial and
legislative candidates and it looks as
though they would be thoroughly
beaten, while in the anthracite district
tho Republicans are nearly all Wash
ington men, too. The two Cumberland
Washington nominees filed withdraw
als late yesterday.
—President Wilson will be here this
evening and will follow the example of
Mr. Hughes and speak from Union
Station plaza. The President is due at
6.4G and the plan is to have him st;" -
hero seven minutes. Btate Chairnv B
Joe Guflfey will accompany him with a
choice assortment of Democratic ma
chine bosses.
—According to the Philadelphia
North American, a bill Is being pre
pared which will take appointing
power from judges. The bill is aimed
primarily at the Philadelphia judges,
but it is expected that it will affect
those all over the State.
George Ellis, of Pottsville, sub
stituted for the Twelfth district Demo
cratic elector, has been active In poll
tics in that county for years.
—Bradford Republicans opened
their campaign with a rally in that
city last evening. Efforts to defeat R.
P. Habgood for re-election to the
House aro said to be doomed to
failure.
—The latest development In Phila
delphia politics is an attack by Senator
R. V. Farley upon the residence of
David Martin, who Is a candidate for
the Senate, where he sat some years
ago. It Is claimed that the senator Is
not eligible for the district in which he
Is running.
The following dispatch from Chi
cago shows an opinion of the western
situation by one who Is accustomed to
observing conditions: "Congressman J.
Hamoton Moore, of Philadelphia, a
member of the ways and means com
mittee, who spent the whole of last
week In Ohio stumping for the Repub
lican national ticket, conferred with
tho western headquarters in this city
to-day and then left for the Cham
paign district of Illinois, where he Is
to speak in the interest of Congress
man William B. McKinley, former
chairman of the national congressional
committee. Mr. Moore reported to the
western managers that Pennsylvania
Republicans and Progressives were
united for Hughes and that a maiority
of from 250.000 to 300,000 could be
looked for from the Keystone State.
He said he had been In Massachusetts,
New York and New Jersey recently,
and that all of these States, together
with tho whole of New England, would
be found side by side with Pennsylva
nia. He Inquired about Indiana, which
Is one of the pivot States this year,
and was assured that It was better or
ganized and more likely to be Repub
lican than in any recent presidential
campaign."

Our River Front Steps
[ Star-Independent. ]
We do not know who is responsible
for the unclean and untidy appearance
of the cement approach to the river
bank, Jocularly alluded to as "the
front steps of Harrisburg," but we
contend that it should be the duty of
somebody to have them cleaned and
see that they are kept clean. Visi
tors to Harrisburg during the present
pleasant October days, who are at
tracted by the beauties along the river
bank, with the plateau for a footpath,
cannot be enamored over affairs, be
cause of the dirty pathway over which
they must tread. In some places tho
mud and gravel washed from the unr
protected bank have spread out on"
the concrete walk until debris to the
thickness of several inches must be
waded by pedestrians.
It is said that some of the city au
thorities, when their attention was
called to conditions, endeavored to se
cure hose from one of the city fire
houses to use for conveying water to
clean the "steps," but the city official
In charge of the fire hose declined to
permit its use for that purpose. This
is to be deplored. The property of the
city Is common property, and it ought
to be used whenever it can be of use,
no matter for what purpose.
If the city can use anything in its
possession to clean the concrete es
planade, then It ought to do so, and
at once, for conditions along the River
Front, as far as cleanliness and neat
ness are concerned, are not very love
ly. We are having all sorts of davs for
Harrisburg, therefore would it be In
order to suggest a "Clean-up" Day
for the "front steps?"
Hughes on Woman Suffrage
Charles Evans Hughes, Republican
candidate for President, lias written
an article for the November Woman's
Home Companion in which he says:
"In my trips across the continent
nothing was more clearly manifested
than the intense Interest of women in
the political questions of the day.
This was shown not only in the great
assemblies of women which I had the
privilege of addressing, but in what
was said to mo by thousands in num
erous receptions. The women of this
country are alert and more active
politically than ever before in our
history.
"There is, of course, particular in
terest in the question of suffrage.
Women In the so-called suffrage States
aro not only Intent upon the exercise
of the rights accorded them but are
deeply solicitous for the enfranchise
ment of their sisters in other States,
while the general movement for wom
an suffrage shows a determination
and a strength of organized effort
which leave no doubt as to the result.
The Republican platform refers to the
extension of suffrage to women as 'a
measure of Justice to one-half the
adult people of the country.' That
presents the conviction which supplies
tho driving force of this movement
and will Insure its success.
"I have long been of the opinion
that opposition to this movement is a
serious mistake. It seems to mo obvi
ous, from'a consideration of economic
conditions, of the part, that women are
taking In our economic development,
and of the strength of the demand,
that opposition cannot defeat but can
only delay the granting of the vote to
women. That delay, however, will
carry a heavy penalty. It will in
evitably produce an agitation, con
stantly growing In Intensity, to the
subversion of normal political issues.
It will unquestionably tend to Intensify
a distinctly feminist agitation and sex
antagonism."
"Man of Action"
[Kansas City Star]
Regarding Mr. Ray Stannard
Baker's very Interesting article in de
fense of the Wilson administration,
printed in The Star yesterday, two
things may be pointed out:
1. The "twenty years of talk" to
which Mr Baker refers with scorn in
contrast to the 'action" which has suc
ceeded them, made possible any action
at all. An enormous amount of
pioneering and educating had to be
done before the country knew what
it wanted to do on such questions as
the reserve banks and rural credits.
It Is a case where "others have labored
and we have entered Into the fruits
of their labors."
2. Ori the most vital problems
pressing the country the administra
tion had been busy pushing back the
clouds, only to see them constantly
return. Thore has been, not action,
but postponement of action.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RAILROADER ON ADAMSON LAW
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Am a railroad employe, not directly
affected by President Wilson's eight
hour law, but interested in Its ap
plication, Insofar as it concerns my
fellow employes. Am greatly in favor
of the eight-hour hour principle, not
only for railroad employes, but for all
classes of labor, and believe that the
day is rapidly approaching when eight
hours will be the standard everywhere.
For this reason. President Wilson's ac
tion in forcing Congress to pass an
eight-hour law for railroad employes
actually engaged in transportation
traffic is a step in the right direc
tion. The method of forcing the bill
through Congress is another matter.
My objection to the bill is that it af
fects only a small portion of the men
engaged in railroad service, eighteen
per cent, to be exact. The other
eighty-two per cent, will continue to
work ten and twelve-hours per day,
at a much smaller average wage than
the eighteen per cent, actually en
gaged in the operation of trains. The
eighty-two per cent, however, can live
in hopes that, in the event of Wil
son's election, another emergency will
arise, which will give them eight
hours, a rather remote possibility.
Justice Hughes places himself on
record as favoring an eight-hour law
for all classes of labor, instead of
certain bodies, so organized
as to be able to wield a "big stick" to
get what they want. The writer feels
safe In asserting that a majority of
the railroads are heartily in favor of
the eight-hour law. At least the east
ern roads are, and have placed them
selves on record to this effect. What
they do object to, and what was the
primary motive in the brotherhoods'
demand Is paying at the rate of ten
hours per day, for eight hours' work.
As an individual, X would like to make
the prophecy that this is the rock the
brotherhoods will run up against,
after January 1. The railroad execu
tives will contest the wage feature of
the eight-hour law, and insist on pay
ing eight hours' pay for eight hours'
work. However by that time, Wilson
will either be elected or defeated, and
in case he Is re-elected, it will be time
enough then, to handle his "make
shift" eight-hour law. He will at
ileast have secured his re-erectlon. In
case he is defeated, "Let Hughes do
It..' It looks to me, although I do not
claim to have any detinito knowledge
on the subject, that the whole thing,
from beginning to end, was a hid for
the brotherhood voto. I do know, for
a fact, that a strenuous effort Is be
ing made, by the Democrats, to cap
ture the brotherhood vote. On the
last registration day, typewritten
sheets, containing the names of every
railroad man engaged In the trans
portation service, were placed in the
hands of the different Democratic
registrars and committeemen, with
the instructions to see that each name
on the list was looked after. They
seemed to take It as a foregone con
clusion, that the brotherhood vote
was In-their pockets.
This may be true, but as a railroad
man, coming into contact with a
large number of railroad men, I have

brotherhood men who think for them

fellow employes, and who do not feel
secure under the present "patched

them, myself included, feel glad that
even this much concestron has been
made, but -if it proves to be a "gold

FATE'S AGAINST MB
By Win* Dinger
Of the many, many mean things
With which all mankind is cursed
There was one took place this morning
Which may woll be called the worst.
I don't need to tell you, brother.
How nice 'tis to pound one's car
Very early In the morning
When the rain drops one can hear.
Well, I got awake this morning,
Heard the rain, and then did say
To myself: "You've got two hours
More in which to nit the hay."
Fixed myself for solid comfort.
Gave a happy little sigh.
When a fat and Juicy raindrop
Hit me squarely In the eye.
I looked upward toward the celling.
Saw a long and narrow streak.
And it quickly dawned upon mo
In the roof there was a leak.
No more sleep for me —I got up,
Dressed and up the ta4rs did sneak
To the room and spent two hours
Looking for the bloomin' leak.
