NOV. 18 i Our deeds still travel with us from afar, And what we have been makes tvllat we are. —GKOBGE EH or. DAIRIES AND INOCULATION THE recent unfortunate experience of this city with typhoid, an out come of indifferent diUry inspec tion or no inspection, ha." been dis cussed generally by the medical fra ternity and all interested in the health, of Harrisburg. An interested citizen, who lias been m sufferer through tyi#ioid, has sug gested to the Telegraph that in the ' adoption of new regulations affecting ! the dairies and Ice cream plants of the j city and its suburbs a provision should j be Included for the inoculation by the | typhoid serum in the case of all em ployes of these plants. There can be j no doubt that prompt use of the anti- I typhoid serum during the epidemic j prevented many additional cases. This ; has been demonstrated in a recent in- j tident at the Harrisburg Hospital, ' where a supervising nurse, the only ] one who had not been inoculated, was , stricken with the disease and an op eration was performed this week to save her life. There are always those who insist that inoculation is a mere fad, but this case, like thousands of others, is a direct refutation of the theory that the serum is of no account. Now that the epidemic has passed, we should not rest in fancied security until another outbreak arouses the community to the importance of pro tecting Itself against further invasion. Typhoid is ciearly preventable and it is disgraceful that any modern city should be the •victim of carelessness and upon the part of those who supply foodstuffs from the surrounding territory. The suggestion of a regulation re quiring inoculation of all employes of dairies and Ice cream plants Is In line with good medical practice and wo trust tho Department of Health will take this .matter into consideration in its further preventive measures. Now is the time to do it. New York lias authorized by popu lar vote a bond issue for ten million dollars for forest extension work. Pennsylvania has made no such expen diture, but the growth of Its forestry activities has been most encouraging. Much more has been accomplished in this direction than the average citizen realizes. Tin: KLECTIOV is (>VER THE Adamson law was a make shift. It settled nothing." This quotation is from The Patriot's "Spirit of the American Press," a pr.ge which that newspaper pays "Is the newest, the ryost inform ative and the strongest intellectually published in any American newspaper." The election Is over. There ought to be some "worthy" Democrats for those seven judicial va cancies in the higher courts which will be filled by President Wilson within the next few weeks. MEX AND HEMGIOX SEVERAL thousand Methodist Men of Pennsylvania will attend the conference to be held in Harris burg next week, and the announce ment draws attention to the marked Increase of interest the men of Amer ica In recent years have displayed in religious activities. There are few so young that they cannot recall the one time vain appeals of preachers for men at church services. The great bulk of church membership not so far back consisted of women and children. Men's Bible classes of to-day illus trate the change that has taken place In the past decade. The most significant development of the times is this reawakened Interest of men In religion. It is confined to no locality and to no creed. Every State In the union gives strong indi cations of the trend and every de nomination has felt its quickening in fluence. Nor Is the movement con fined to any one class of men. In the democratic atmosphere of the Bible class room bankers and manufactur ers rub elbows with clerks and labor ers and each learns not only the truths of t,he Sunday school lesson but the great truth that the difference betweeh men is largely that of rank; that we are alt beset by the same weaknesses and Imbued with common attributes and characteristics. There is not a more potent influence ■ for good in American society than the men's Bible class and the men's move ment iif the church, whatever be Its denomination or creed. There is a distinct trend apparent along the lines . \ '"" SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG fcSSRS TELEGRAPH VoVEMBER'Yg, 191&* of social betterment, toward total ab stinence and for better living condi tions for the masses. If this has not been the result of this new interest of men in religion it is certainly coinci dent to a very remarkable degree. The temperance forces fought a losing battle until men by the thousand took up the tight with religious agencies as their weapons. Social welfare work made little progress In this country until after the men's Bible class had become a factor In the life of the country. Similar comparisons might be noted to a very great number. Instead of wishing to be a million aire we are tempted to wish we were a mechanic in a munition plant. [NTERESTING SUGGESTION MAYOR MEALS has suggested a method for keeping down the tax rate which is worthy of serious consideration. He observes that some legislation may be necessary to give his plan force and effect, but the scheme has much to commend it. It is, in short, the diversion to the general fund of the excess revenues of the Water Department. For years the city's water plant has been a profitable proposition and notwith standing the rates were reduced a year or two ago by Commissioner Bowman the surplus continues to ac cumulate. It would appear to be entirely logical, Inasmuch as the water and lighting systems are both under the control and direction of the same department, to so handle the funds that the profit from water could be utilized In meet ing the large expense of public illumination. In short, as the taxpayers and con sumers of water are under the same umbrella it ought to be easily pos sible to reduce the pressure by making the water pay the cost of the light and thus avoid increase of taxation for municipal purposes. Mayor Meals should lose no timo in finding out whether his suggestion Is practical and within the law. If legis lation is necessary, the Legislature can be asked for such relief as the situa tion demands. And here, again, the need of a larger measure of home rule for cities of the Third Class is emphasized. If the turkey roosts as high as the prices charged, few will be stolen this year. ENLARGING SCHOOL USES THE friendly attitude of the city school authorities toward en larging the usefulness of school buildings is a step in the direction to ward which other cities of this size are moving and which has been the subject of repeated reports by Super intendent P. E. Downes for some years. It is altogether likely that the School Board cannot see its way clear to employ experts for neighborhood center work at this time. However, the conviction that adoption of this line of activity is essentially to the good of the city and its people should be sufficient to assure serious consid eration of the subject when next year's expenditures are under discussion. ' But it is difficult to see why the School Board should hear all of the expense of social center work. Sim ply because the school houses are logical headquarters lor gatherings of the kind Is no reason why the city government should not share in the up-keep. Harrisburg spends thou sands of dollars every year in main taining parks and playgrounds, and athletic fields and tennis courts, and golf links for the entertainment and recreation of its people during the warm period. Just, as soon, however, as Jack Frost sets his finger on the landscape the city drops its work as though it were a hot potato and lets the people shift for themselves. If the municipality is right in providing outdoor amusement and exercise in summer, how much nioro does it owe them to the hundreds of people who are left absolutely to their own insuffi cient or harmful devices during the cold months? • "No more cheap cigars." Does that mean what it says, or does it mean ! cheap cigars at higher prices? THE YOUNGEST OLD MAN ! CIIAUNCEY M. DEPEW is the' youngest old man in the United States. He recently gave a talk | on the art of growing old, declaring that the "don't worry" helps | make octogenarians. Mr. l)epew will j he S3 years old next April and he ! observed in a speech this week that If j he should reveal how often he h&d to rely on a physician the old tradition about, a man being his own best phy sician after he is fifty would dis appear. While the octogenarian might not think a doctor was necessary, his wife does. Mr. Depew expressed the belief that David's Nineteenth Psalm, in which the sweet singer of Israel Bald that three score and ten years were the limit of life, has sent many a person to his grave because they believed David. He thought the psalm had caused more deaths than the war now raging in Europe.

Lk ""peKKOifCo-anla By the Ex-Comraittecman Representative Richard ,T. Baldwin, of Delaware, appears not to be losing any time in getting about the State in his campaign for election as Speaker of the next House. Baldwin is a very active citizen, anyway, and he has the support of a capable organization. The other aspirants do not seem to have gotten started and are waiting to see the result of the high council of war to be held by the administration lead ers with Governor Brumbaugh in Philadelphia to-day. It is believed that the administration people will decide to support an up- State man and will start things mov ing, among the steps being to make some prompt and radical changes in departments of the State government- Reports that opposition to President Pro Tein. Beidleman will be set up are not generally credited, as Senator Vare is with the Dauphin man. Once the administration candidate for Speaker is picked out, there will be a hard fight, started for him with At torney General Brown and the Vares looking after tho eastern en<l and Commissioners Magee and O'Neil han dling the center and western members. One of the odd things about Bald win's canvass was that he turned up at State College yesterday and spoke rierht from the same platform as his old legislative rival. Congressman John R. K. Scott, who is much Interested in preventing Baldwin from becoming Speaker if possible. The North American of to-day calls attention to a change of front on the part of Senator Vare on the assistance clause question. The North American says that the Vares evacuated some trenches because of the Penrose move which seems to have the sympathy of ihe Democrats and independents. W. E. Finley was spokesman for the Vares yesterday and he and Democratic City Chairman Lank fired broadsides. Most of the newspapers admit that ttye Baldwin early start has given him an advantage. —Candidates for mine inspector and a number of other offices who are not required to file, statements of expenses at the Capitol are sending accounts to the Capitol. They are being sent back with regularity and dispatch, as the candidates must file in their home dls. trlcts. —Lycoming county will probably have a contest over the seats of Its legislators. The candidates are watch ing every move of the count. —Politicians are watching with much interest the developments of the State Orange campaign to have the powers of the State Commission .of Agriculture broadened. The commis sion is more likely to face abolition than anything else. —Friends of Congressman Rowland have been congratulating him upon his re-election In the face of a hard light in Ills home district and failure to get help where it should have been given. —ICx-Lleutenant-Governor L. A. Watres was the speaker at the Leb anon lilgli school ceremonies yester day. He was greeted by many friends. —Congressmen Barchfeld and Cole man appear to be ahead on the face of tho returns. The going is rough, however. Reading may have to increase its tax rate to pay for various municipal improvements. Duquesne borough lias voted to become a third class city. Butler and Warren also voted that way. • —Considerable interest has been aroused in Philadelphia by a report that Mayor Smith had decided to throw out all bids for street cleaning because they were too high. There has been much discussion in Phila delphia on the subject. —John A. MeSparran, of Lancaster county, well known In political circles will be re-elected as master of the State Orange when it holds the an nual meeting in Philadelphia next month. • —Mayor Smith has landed the place of orphans court tlpstaft at $2,000 a year tor his brother In Philadelphia. Senators Penrose and McNlchol favor ed him. It was thought that a protoge of Senator E. W, Patton would get the lob. —Demands for a shake-up are com mencing to bo heard among the Demo crats of Schuylkill' and Luzerne counties where the Democracy was signally beaten and whero objections to the way the party was run were heard before election. The manner in which federal patronage was appor tioned is blamed for the defeat of Democratic candidates. —Tlie Northampton county con troller has refused to stand for anv $lO for the election boards in some districts which tried to make two days of it because of the amount of work required. It is likely that an effort will be made to have the next Legis lature provide more cash for boards. —Reservations at Washington seem to bo the popular Democratic past time now. The parade novelty has worn off. —Schuylkill county polled only 97 soldier votes on the border. There are several companies in that county, too. —Alexander R. Geismeyer, of Read ing, prothonotary of Berks county, has announced himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress In the Berks-Lehigh district in 1918.

Times Have Changed [Newspaperdoin.] The hide-bound, tliick-and-tliin, ever lawstlng-to-everlawstlng party organ sffmsJo be doomed. The late campaign demoiratrated that beyond question. Newspapers supporting Wilson printed' many Hughes advertisements, while the Hughes papers ran columns of paid matter boosting Wilson. Never before was the power of newspaper adver tising so generously and so widely rec ognised. ft is safe to say that more people read the political advertisements, skillfully displayed by experts, than read the candidates' speeches, set forth in plain news shape. The question of newspaper ethics came up frequently during the campaign, nnd many read ers wanted to know why the advertise ments of the opposing party were print ed. The New York World' expressed the opinion that it was altogether eth ical for It to print the linghes adver tisements, although heartily supporting Wilson, saying: "The World has no more right to re fuse to print these advertisements than it has to refuse to print the speeches made by Mr. Hughes. We have our own opinion of the Hughes speeches and likewise of the Hughes advertise ments, and we shall continue to dis cuss them with searching frankness; but print them we must. They are a purt of the record of the campaign."

De- pew, who will be 83 years young next April, delivered an address in New York entitled "The Art of Growing Older and the Value of An Interest In Public Life." "I'm afraid," began the distinguish ed speaker, in a resonant voice, "that if I should reveal how often I have had to rely on a physician the old tradi tion about a man being his own best physician after he is fifty would dis appear. The octogenarian man not think a doctor Is necessary—Mit his Avlfo does. [Laughter.] On the. other hand, nobody can question what a man past fourscore of years says unless that body Is older. "Seventj'-flve years go when I—l say, soventy-five years ago when I was 7% years old—l remember that our village had any number of old men and old women. They advertised their agK [Laughter.] After reaching the age of CO years the women donned' caps, one sort of cap during the daytime and an other sort of cap at night. [Laughter.] Men past 70 years of age lay around the house or indolently sat on a nail keg at the village grocery. "We haven't got that sort of peo ple nowadays. To-day you can't tell a mother from her daughter because of the way mother and daughter dress, and you'd have a hard time finding a states man sitting on a nail keg. [Laughter.] "Everything helps old age now. There is the telephone: A man can reach his friends now by telephone; he can 'get' his office. Ills club, or he can listen to a sermon, an opera or a speech without leaving his home. The cable, the wireless, connect a far spread world and so help to keep alive men tal activity. "The famous seven ages of man do not exist to-day. Shakespeare died at 52 thinking himself an old man. He was only a young fellow. [Laughter.] li<i spoke of the sixth age of man, the T. R.'s Wilkes-Barre Speech [Kansas City Star.] It is interesting to note that Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, in which is lo cated Wilkes-Barre, where Colonel Roosevelt made one of his fiery speeches during the campaign, gave Mr. Hughes a majority over President Wilson of ap proximately seven thousand. John .1. Casey, Democratic congress man, was overwhelmingly defeated by Thomas W. Templeton, Republican. Casey had served two terms and was a member of organized labor, having been business agent of his local union. Lu zerne county's union labor population Is larger by comparison than that of any other congressional district in tho United States. It was because of this exceptionally large labor vote that Colonel Koosevelt singled out the district for Ills speech dealing at greatest length with the Adamson law. At the time of the Colonel's appearance there, partisan oigans, for political effect, carried re ports of Ills reception in which it was said that tfie miners resented to appeal made on behalf of Mr. Hughes. The Colonel, according to these reports, was jeered as he led a procession from the train to the place where he spoke. Tlrese reports were discredited by the responsible press associations. The election returns show conclusively what the workers thought of Colonel Roose velt's analysis of the law to increase wages. Student on the War.

"Shakespeare's seventh age—sans teeth, sans taste, sans eyes—why, my friends, the dentist of to-day gives us better teeth than nature gave us in the first place; the oculist improves our sight. As for taste, every good wife knows that she had better look out if the old gentleman finds something on the table that does not come up to what he was accustomed to have in the old days. [Laughter.] "One of the greatest influences on the world has been Davidi's nineteenth psalm, in which David sa id that three score and ten years were the limit of life. There's no telling how many men and women have died because they be lieved David. [Laughter and applause.] That psaim, I believe, has caused more deaths than the war now raging in Eu rope—ten times more. [Applause.] "David lived life. [Laughter.] He had all that lie could get.

[Laughter and applause.] Credit Where Credit Is Due [Chanibersburg Repository.] Former leading Progressives are taking- to themselves much of the glory for tiie Republican victory In Pennsylva nia. It is very true that it was the i return of the Progressives of 1912 that made a large majority in Pennsylvania possible. 1 tut it was not due to the so-called leaders. Many of the Pro gressives returned In 1914 and helped elect Governor Brumbaugh, while many j of the so-called Progressive leaders in the State refused to return and aligned themselves with the Democrats doing everything in their power to elect Mr. McCormick. llud they had their way Governor Brumbaugh would not be at Harrisburg to-day. It was the regular Republicans and the Progressives who refußed to follow Colpnel Roosevelt in his campaign In this State for Mr. McCormick, that elected Governor Brumbaugh. Now some of these £o- I called leaders are very pronounced in i their apparent loyalty to Governor Brumbaugh and seek to take unto them selves all the credit for the Repub licans carrying the State for Hughes. * * • Tlic Progressives deserve all the credit due them for their return to the Republican party, thus solidifying it and making Republican success pos sible, but the credit Is duo to the large army of Progressives who returned in 1914 and helped elect a Republican governor, who lias done more to bring the party together than any other one man in the State. The so-called Pro gressive leaders who cama back this year, of course, are liea tily welcome, I but it was the return in 1914 that saved the party in Pennsylvania this year. * * 'lt was the boys in the trenches and on the firing lines of the Progres sive party in 1912 who deserve the credit for 1916. They came back in 1914, at a time when they were most needed, and helped elect a man governor who has devoted much of his time to reuniting the Republican party and who has succeeded'. The generals in the Progressive party in this State came hack only after Governor Brumbaugh had so solidified the Republican party that the so-called leaders had no place else to go. The voters of Pennsylvania two years ago had such implicit confi dence in Governor Brumbaugh that the leaders of the Progressives could no longer hold tliem In line, much as they desired to do so. The Republicans had nominated a man for governor upon whom all could unite. To Governor Brumbaugh, largely is due the credit for a reunited Republican party. Had any other sort of man been nominated in 1914 the Progressives feould not likely have come back as they did and a dif ferent result would have been to chron icle then as well as in 191. ©letting (Efyat Men elected to seats in the nexW Legislature are commencing to comal to Harrisburgr to look up boardinerl houses and to make their arranged menta for the session as well as to be^ ThTbSn?o l f a fi, wlt, J . the Stato Capitol, momh , the visitors are the new* ex ™nt on W fl ? have never been here' next o Men , who will st in the* ask nhnnf i 6 also commencing: t< thines u 1 "*?*"• altho "Kh such. iwJfJli U? 1 anKl fned until late in.
