STEEI7TON LEADS THE WAY STEELTON has blazed the way for Harrisburg In the admirable work of its Shade Tree Commis sion. A census of the trees in the streets of the borough has just been completed and the commission is go ing to sec to it that the tree plant ing campaign shall be continued In the same tactful and practical way that has characterized the work thus far. The people of Steelton are co operating in this important work and unless Harrisburg gets awake the big Industrial borough will leave us far behind In a matter so Important to the welfare and esthetic development of the community. Very properly the Steelton com mission procured the services of com petent authority and a careful census of the town was made. About 200 trees In all are recommended for re moval and these will be placed in streets planted uniformally to one variety. It is not yot too late for the City Council of Harrisburg to create a Shade Tree Commission and permit It to do what should have been done long ago In caring for the shade trees we already have and providing for those we so seriously need. If Bryan is setting the prairies on fire with-' his speeches in behalf of Wilson, the smoke of the conflagration is not noticeable from this neck of the woods. A YEAR OF GOOD WORK WITH the annual meeting of the | Chamber of Commerce last night the work of J. AVilliam Bowman as president was practically concluded. He will retire from an honorable office with a line record of public service. From the beginning of his term a year ago until the last minute of the twelvemonth he has given energetic and earnest attention to the important duties of his position at the head of the central business organization. He has spared himself at no time In doing the things which would be of benefit to the city. With an eye single to the welfare of the community he has directed the activities of the Chamber of Commerce with a view to getting substantial results, and no one familiar with the remarkable achievements of the last year can doubt the high character of his work. The outstanding accomplishment of the year, of course. Is the million-dol lar hotel which Is now beyond the stage of doubt or uncertainty. In ad dition, the whirlwind membership campaign has just been concluded and the reorganized body Is now In fine shape for still greater achieve ments during the coming year. Mr. Bowman and those associated with him in the activities of the Cham ber of Commerce merit the grateful appreciation of the entire community. They have done much—much more than many of those who take no part in these activities can understand. Leases on houses in Washington oc cupied by members of the Wilson Cabi net expire this Fall. Real estate men at the National Capital call attention to the fact that In no Instance has a Cabi net official agreed to extend his lease beyond March I next. "Coming events,'' etc. DOWN IX MAINK AMONG the aftermath of the Maine election is the filing of the returns of expenditures by candidates and party commlttoes. The report made by the Democratic State Committee is full of Interest. The committee received $57,352. Of this no less than $50,000 came from the Democratic National Committee— whose officers have spent so much time since September 11 in trying to tell the country that there was no na tional significance to the voting in Maine. It now appears, however, that there was $50,000 worth of significance to It in the view qf the Democratic Na tional Committee before election—and the ratio which this sum bears to the total population of the country and to the relative size of the Maine dele gation In Congress as compared to the total membership will afford some Indication of the amount of money which the Democrats have at their disposal in this campaign. Of the total amount expended by the Democrats In Maine, twanty per cent was Bent for use In Androscog *in county, which Is In Concressroan WEDNESDAY EVENING, McGillicuddy's district indicating again the importance attaching to that gentleman's campaign and fur ther destroying the excuses which Chairman Mack and others have at tempted to make for McGillicuddy's defeat. Besides this, there Is the highly sug gestive entry of $1,947 which was con tributed from the Democratic war chest to the , Progressive campaign committee. More open acknowledg ment that the Progressive party as it exists in this campaign is a mere ad junct to Democracy could not be askid for. There is, however, the gratifying reflection to lie gleaned from the Maine results that, the assistance which Mr. Wilson will receive from the remnant 6f the Moose is negligible. The Democrats of Maine saw fit. to spend three per cent, of their funds on the Moose organization. The re turns indicate that less than three per cent, of the Moose responded at the polls. Wo wonder how many other States there are where Progressive "State committees" are being maintained by .Democratic money. A census of these "kept" organizations would bo worth having—rfom a sociological point of view, we mean, of course. "Lemoyne Democrats eat 'coon," says a morning contemporary. Rave the type, neighbor, and have a new item after election by changing the word 'coon to crow. THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH, in his maiden address as a member of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, spoke last night like a true Harrisburger with all the breadth of vision and keen analysis of conditions that has marked him during his long public career. The Governor praised the Chamber for its successful launching of the new million dollar hotel enterprise, for the vigor of its membership campaign and for the many accomplishments of the past year, but it was his forecast of the future that was most Important. He voiced the views of the noted educators who have given the matter study when he said that the new high school project would result in a com plete rehabilitation of the public school system of the city and he was right in urging that the voter should i not consider the proposed loan from the standpoint of dollars and cents. The Governor brought a message of encouragement to those who are hopeful of the early development of the Capitol Park zone. It has been known that this is a matter dear to the Governor's heart and In which the other members of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings are keenly in terested, but only a few were aware that preliminaries had been worked out to the extent of selecting the State's landscape architect within a week or two. The widening of Third, Walnut and North streets, on the three sides of Capitol park, is absolutely necessary to accommodate the increased travel! after some of the 'cross-town thor oughfares through the extension area to the East are closed. This can be done very cheaply by the State and it Is a big point in favor of the proper development of the whole tract when city and State authorities agree upon the method of treatment. With the Governor and his fellow members of the board feeling as they do on the subject It ought not to be difficult to persuade the legislature to take the necessary action. But the Chamber of Commerce, for all that, must not for a moment relax its interest. The problems involved in the Capitol Park development are of clty-wlde interest and will affect the ! lives of the people of this city for all time to come. How closely the public Is keeping in touch with plans under way is well illustrated by a letter to the Telegraph, published elsewhere on this page to-day dealing with one of the great questions which the city and the State must co-operate to solve. The Chamber and the City Planning Commission liave a big part to play and It is fortunate that they have the approval of the State authorities In every one of their plans so far sug gested. The duty of theso bodies, and particularly of the Chamber, is to assist the State officials in active charge of the work to convince the Legislature of the Importance of early and hearty co-operation. There will be many demands for appropriations next session, but none more worthy than that for the development of the park zone.' It behooves us to get early and vigorously on the Job. Major General Turner, of the British army, oay Hlndenhurg has no brains, and If that Is so we certainly would like to have a little of what he uses Instead.

It is now up to the candidates and the committees and the manner in which the Republicans are pushing their work shows the effect of good organi zation and confidence. The Republican State candidates are touring the State nnd will do so un til the sun sets on the eve of elec tion. Meetings are hold nightly in every county and the manner in which the candidates are going at the na tional administration record is com mencing to tell. The Democratic campaign thus far has been confined to claims by State Chairman Guffey that Wilson will carry "Pennsylvania, the Democratic State windmill being surpassed in the products of its previous campaigns. The names of the Democratic State candidates are seldom heard and most of the Democrats, like those who or dered the banner for this city, show Ignorance of tho names of candidates for Congress at. large. No Democratic meetings worth the name have been heard and tho rank and file Is disgust ed with the Guftey method of running a campaign by making- collections and issuing claims. —The election commissioners for the border arranged late yesterday to leave this city on the evening of No vember 1.

Omitting Word "Obey" [Washington Post.] No phychologist has as yet been successful in tracing the influence of the marriage vow upon the marriage ♦tself. It is doubtful whether the pre cise wording of the vo\v has any ma terial effect upon domestic happiness or unhappiness. If bsldes who prom ise to "obey" do obey, it is because they want to do so. Probably it Is just as well there fore that the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal Church has de cided not to change the wording of the vow by tho elimination of the word obey. It had been proposed that the marriage ceremony be changed to make tlie responses the same lor both the man and the woman and omitting all reference to wifely sub mission to a liege lord. The version proposed was to have eliminated the man's declaration that he endows the woman with all his worldly goods. Such a promise is pronounced a sur vival of the old English law, and is to be taken for granted, according to the i}ew view, since the dower right of the wife in any property the hus i'iv iu automatically pro tected by civil law. It is not provided in the marriage ceremony that the husband shall obey the wife, but somehow or other It usually works out that way. He may not think he is doing it, but he usu ally does.

WOMAN WRITES OF STATE STREET TRIP BY NIGHT; HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT ADDRESSES VOTERS To the Editor of the Telegraph: In your editorial of Thursday even ing, October 12, upon the opinions held by Governor Brumbaugh, the Public Service Commission and the City Plan ning Commission upon the proposed Walnut street bridge, or an alternative, you spoke of the necessity of a viaduct. It is because you used the word via duct and did not add "or subway" that this appeal is being addressed to you, an appeal In the name of the women and girls of the whole northeastern sec tion of Harrisburg that you will cham pion their cause. We women of this part of the city can understand and' appreciate the enthu siasm of the Governor and those other wise gentlemen who are trying to make the Capitol Park Extension a thing of beauty. The project is a delightful one and we who live in this city are In debted to them for the effort and labor they are spending for the public good. We believe that those gentlemen, be sides having an eye for the beautiful, have also kind hearts for humanity, and that they would not willingly spread pitfalls before the women and girls of this city. Mr. Editor, the facts are these—State street from Thirteenth to the Capitol is practloally uninhabited. Thar roadway descends for two squares, a steep de clivity between a high wooded embank ment and a chasm where grow the cemetery willows—after that it cross es Cameron street, Paxton creek bridge, and after passing the Pipe Bending works the overhead railroad bridge. The cemetery willows alone could hide an army of footpads—it would re quire two mounted policemen on duty every night to give confidence to two women, or a group of women who had to pass that way.

If this description sounds overdrawn, those who know can tell us of three recent assaults upon women that have been overheard and only one of which could be reached by would-be rescuers. A man was attempting to throw a wo man over the balustrade into the thirty foot cemetery chasm—in lifting her over he lost Ills hold on her throat and her one terrible scream brought several men from the vicinity of Thirteenth street—lf this had occurred farther down the hill nothing could have saved her. To seek to make this lonely and mys terious road a safe and sane highway by penetrating the bowels of the earth at the further end of It with a subway, seems the very height of irony. It !s as the French say "to laugh," only it is for us who live out here to cry. On bright mornings we look across this chasm to the fair prospect beyond and fancy what it would be to walk In to town above it—across it—on the level, as do the happy people on Mul berry bridge—and the possibility seems really too wonderful to be true. Mr. Editor, we are asking you to per suade those gentlemen to make this trip but once, not In automobiles, by day, but on foot at night. If they will do this they will at once see the dif ficulties of the situation, and they will, we think, forever abandon the idea of making a State street subway a sub stitute for a Walnut street bridge; they will not oppose but will favor a via duct and nothing but a viaduct for the convenience Rnd safety of the people of this beautiful residential part of the city, a viaduct so beautiful that, while hiding a little of the view it will en hance the remainder as does the Itock ville bridge, or the beautiful Parisian bridges across the Seine. Margaret T. Sangree, 1219 Sta'te'S'treet. L£TTERsfOTH£ EDITOR] HAitnisnunG's SHAME To the Editor of 'the Telegraph ': The discussion .at' the present time of. Ilarrisburg's great need for a new high school brings to mind the fact that the valedictory address at the 191 C commencement exercises at Cen tral High school was based on this. Mr. Voter, It should be that you would feel disgraced when you think that the student in your high school who work ed his way to the head of the graduat ing class should have to make his fare well address one of sorrow. When a student Is compelled to do that it is time to act. Conditions are worse tills year than last, but some extracts are given from Vernon Wldder's com mencement address for the espeoial benefit of those In whose hands lies the future welfare of Ilarrisburg's coming generations. They are plain, clear state ments of conditions existing last year, and they are considerably worse now. Listen, Mr. Voter: 'The immediate necessity of a new [high school Is due to the fact that the old one is crowded to the utmost. Since study periods in school are almost en tirely lacking—and home is always more or less indefinite—students do not derive the maximum of benefit. In convenience is experienced from the necessity of keeping two sets of books in every desk. The hours of the double sessions are extremely incon venient. The poor equipment causes the students' health, comfort and ad vancement, to be materially affected. Realth is an important factor in the training of men, and such conditions as exist should not be tolerated. Is the present lilsh school building worthy of tlio Capital City of Pennsylvania? Many cities take pride in their high school buildings, pointing them out as features of Importance. Who can take a visitor to our Central High school and say with pride In her bad equip ment and crowded condition, "Tills is our high school!" The people of Harrisburg should realize the pang It causes In every Central student's heart to think of the building hp must attend. Hnrrlshurg has fine parks, well-paved streets, and the fine river wall. Capitol building, etc. I.lsten to Central's valedictorian, Mr. Voter. I,et us have a high school worthy of the name of Harrisburg. November 4 is the date to abolish in tolerable conditions. A CENTRAL STUDENT. ©wiring (Mfat Penbrook's big Republican demon stration the other evening with men on horseback and marshals and aids wearing ribbons on their hats and red fire and wagons brought back to the minds of many the days when presidential campaigns were marked by great parades in Harrisburg. Per haps the last campaign in which there was anything like old-tiine parades was in 189 C when the McKinlev elec tion took place and the Sound Honey, H. r.. Hershey, M. E. Olmsted, Joh'u, E. Fox and other Republican clubs? which succeeded the First ward, Third ward. Fourth ward and Sixth ward Republican Clubs marched with much redflre and rare vintages of high hats. But there has been little In that ]j ne gjnep. The Harrisburg and West End Republican flubs hav turned out. annually but their parades, it must be confessed, have been noth ing to the days when a procession took an hour to pass and when men used to parade in oilcloth capes and when horses for miles around were commandeered for political purposes. The memory of the Harrison Invinc bles, the Hancock Legion and the old . r . al Democratic Club, justly noted tor its vociferous enthusiasm, lingers .f\£ ood man y confess that they would like to have a revival of the old time political spirit. The leaders say that campaigns are getting so expen "H e ? that it costs so much to block precincts- and to do other things under new laws that there is !^;„5 nouK ,\ mone y for thG old-time parades with their wagonloads of red a riva ' r y to see whether ono ° r *i he oUler could K et the most bands, the most, gaudily-uniformed men and the best marchers. Rut the people remember them and a good many sigh for the days of parades, open-air mass meetings, flagpole rais ings and bonfires. When, at the opening of divorce court, the members of the Dauphin county bar gather with the judges to consider the trial lists, President Judge Kunkel always calls off the surnames of the llbellant and the respondent in order to properly mark the case for "hearing" or "continuance," as the case may be. That's the reason there was a gentle giggle throughout the courtrpom, a broad grin 'round the bar enclosure and a genial smile from the bench the other day when Presi dent Judge Kunkel gravely called 01K.: "Rata against Ratz." * * / 0 School directors of the West Shore are making efforts to put clearly the Central High School for that district. General opinion has it that the pro ject will have the usual time passing, but directors are striving daily to con vert many voters who oppose the measure. The sooner the voter real izes that his offspring will pay largely for the ejection and upkeep of the school, the better off he will be, thev say. Many of the voters claim that it will raise the mill rate several mills, but it will also be raised in some of the districts if the school is not erected. Many of the students at tending' these schools are arising to the point where they find they con secure several years of up-to-date high school training at the expense of the district in which they live. If every member of the classes that graduate In the next few years attend Harris burg High School, the mill rate will be raised several mills. The cost of sending a student to Harrisburg High is $71.25 per year. In many districts five and six are going. "You don't have to go miles from the city to find gray squirrels to. shoot," declared a man in a hunter's# coat In Market street the other day. "I was in a woods back of Paxtang about three miles the other day and I saw live big gray squirrels in less than a half hour's stroll. They may be straying Capitol Park squirrels Who have tired of eating hand-fed peanuts and who long for the joys and hazards of the great, wild outdoors, or they may be just common ordinary squir rels, but anyway they're out there and I'm going gunning for 'em be fore many suns go down on the West Shore." Ilillborn Darlington, of Bucks county, )s a practical man. He is one of the men selected to be an election commissioner and when the commis sioners met at the Capitol yesterday there was dismay at the size of the bundles they have to care for. Dar lington looked at the assortment and said, "I'll get mine there if I have to put it into a hay baler." In connection with the Pennypacker memorial meeting held at the Capi tol last night, which, by the way, was one of the most dignified meetings ever held in the Capitol, it is interest ing to note that when Governor Brum baugh published his first book the foreword was written by Samuel W. Pennypacker. The Governor said re cently that he learned much about writing books and where to get ma terial from the then judge. The fact that men in the Pennsyl vania regiments on the border have been receiving winter clothing is re garded as pretty conclusive that it will be some time before organizations now in camp will be returned. Detters re ceived here tell of preparations for a winter stay and of plans for ex tensive training. Among those here for the meeting of the Kederated Humane Societies convention was John S. Ritenour, for years connected with the management of Pittsburgh newspapers and later owner of one of the Uniontown papers. He is now active in affairs of the hu mane organizations in Pittsburgh and was welcomed here by many friends. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE | —David Test, Philadelphia hospital superintendent, thinks steps should be taken to tame wild ambulances. —Dr. R.
