MONASTIR THE capture of Monastir by the allies is both a moral and a material victory, despite the evident effort of Berlin to forestall public opinion In this country by sending out long explanations as to the reason for the German evacuation of this important junction point and the advantages gained by the armies of the central powers by vacating the city, for which they struggled so long and to which they have held so tenaciously. These explanations of Berlin for the fall of Monastir are about as convincing as the allied as sertion that the successes of the Ger mans and Austrians against the Ru manians are really of little import. The military advantage of Monastir is its position at the meeting place of roads from Salonica, Durazzo, Uskiub and Adrianople. The Turks early recognized (his, when in 1820 they made it the headquarters of an army corps, the purpose of which was not alone defense, but quick movement in any direction desired. Its roads lead to the Adriatic and the Aegean seas and open the way for co-operation wiih the Italian armies through Al bania. The capture of Monastir—rather its recapture—nullifies to very large ex tent the disastrous effects of the Ger man drive through Serbia a year ago. News item—"The price of honey has been advanced." Stung again. V. M. C. A. OPPORTUNITIES THE Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C. A. is growing by leaps and bounds. The membership cam paign now under way is meeting with wonderful success. Harrisburg is do ing its full share in the country-wide effort to increase Railroad Y. M. C. A. membership. This is because the management of the association has adopted progres sive methods of interesting men in the organization—after the management, however, first had provided the means of holding the interest they have made It their work to arouse. Never has the opportunity of tlie Y. M. C. A. been so great as to-day. In hundreds of cities it is reaching put its influence for good jn a thousand di rections. It makes for good citizen ship. . It should be jnaklng its appeal to every young man in every city. Edson J. Hockenbury, the well known organizer, is home from Toron to, and his work there may be used as an example of what may be done else where —here, for example. • In five days there were enrolled in Toronto 4,920 members, despite the fact that 2,u00 Y. M. A. members of that association are at present In the trenches and no less than 30,000 other young men* have volunteered from the city. But, before it endeavored to enroll new members, the Toronto Y. M. C. A. management, like that of the Penn sylvania railroad organization in this city, made membership privileges so attractive that it was difficult for pros pective members to refuse to join. Europe is talking of legalized polyg amy after the war—that is. the men are. PREPARING i on SPRING ADMIRAL, BOWMAN, the new head of the Greater Harrisburg Navy, is considering plans for the win ter which will enable the Navy to get a flying start in the Spring. Besides the Kipona, which promises to grow in favor and attractiveness as the big water carnival of the summer, it is the purpose of the new river or ganization to give serious and con stant attention to the improvement of the Susquehanna Basin. All Harris burg is interested in those activities and the program for 1917 will be of the most constructive character. It might be a good thing for tly Dauphin County Court hereafter to base all indeterminate sentences upon the completion of the Federal building here. It wouldn't necessarily follow that such a sentence would be for life. ESTABLISH THE LINKS IF the Department of Parks gave proper stakes along the river slope between Maclay and Division streets and placed a man or two in charge of the grading, it would be easily possible within a year or two to complete the park strip along the western side of Front street. Once- it * is understood that clean materials may MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBUHG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 20, 1916. r r ! r~~ " ~ ] : ■ _ • •_ ■ _______— be deposited along the elope under proper conditions and • restrictions, thousands of tons of stone and dirt, which are now being dumped upon vacant lots, would be available for filling- out the river embankment at no cost to the city Bave the employ ment of a laborer or two. It is certain to follow that the "Front Steps" will be continued to the northern city limits and now is the time to grade the embankment so that there need be comparatively lit tle expenditure for this purpose later. Some head work now will save the city thousands of dollars hereaften Governor Brumbaugh and his asso ciates of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings are greatly interested in the planning of the Capitol Park exten sion. Through tlie happy combination of two distinguished engineers of wide experience and national reputation tills Important work Is likely to be achieved with credit to the administration and satisfaction of the people. Meanwhile, Harrlsburg will endeavor to maintain its splendid park system as an integral part of the whole proposition embrac ing the city and State. STOPPING Till-: KAIT'I.KS CHIEF OF POLICE WETZEL will have the support of the public in his announced intention to, stop turkey raffling in Harrlsburg this winter. Nothing has done more to advance the price of turkeys in the past few years than these raffles. Pro prietors of such gambling places have paid any price for birds. They plan ned to make as much as a thousand per cent, on each turkey raffled off and a little matter of five or eight cents a pound meant nothing to them. Hundred of turkeys were bought up in this way and the price paid by the raffling places became prevailing market price, to the great loss of the consumer. When the river terrace, especially in the new-filled section, shall have been damaged or washed away during the coming winter's floods, entailing a loss of hundreds of dollars which might have been prevented, the im portance of efficiency in the public service will probably dawn upon those citizens who elect men to office be cause they happen to be "good fel lows." TIME TO CONSIDER THE trend of the times is toward national prohibition. It ap pears much nearer now than a few months back. It is as certain to come as the next presidential cam paign. It is all a question of time. Therefore, it behooves distillers, and brewers and liquor dealers in general to prepare for the inevitable. When the blow seriously impends and after it falls we shall hear very much about the confiscation of prop erty and the hardship to the man who had his money in the liquor business. Hardship there will be, but not con fiscation. The properties that are now turning out a product which does no good whatever, but on the other hand a very great deal of wrong, may be turned to more useful purposes. The big problem of the liquor trade is not. now how to prevent the enactment of prohibition legislation, but how to so change its properties as to make then losses as light as possible when the inevitable law Is enacted. They have ample warning. If they do not heed, the fault does not lie with a public that has had about enough of John Barleycorn. City Commissioner Lynch is very properly giving attention to the care of paved streets so that the fine reputation of Harrisburg in this respect shall not be sullied. During the coming winter hundreds of people will be here for the session of the Legislature, and it Is highly important that their good opin ion of the city shall be enlarged. A BREATH OF THE EAST A BREATH of the Far East, em bodied in the Bengali love poet, Sir Rabindranath Tagore, is bringing to America the interpretive thought of one of the few men of real vision who have come out of the Orient to this country. JLr. Tagore,' as he is called over here, has takei} utf his residence in New York for the winter, whence he'will make'short lecture tours throughout the East. Rabindranath Tagore is one of the old school of thinkers and dreamers anil idealists whom we so often'call visionaries, and whose silken" clad figure in this modern day of hustle and bustle, with its incessant demand for new sensations, seems strangely out of place as it steps into the pic ture. The poet has already tired of hotel life in the big cities of the country, and the cut-throat competi tion which everywhere raises its head is essentially foreign to the nature and cherished ideals of this aesthetic, re fined old gentleman. # The eastern poet is thoroughly conversant with world problems and discusses them with a clearness and emphasis that spells knowledge. He is heartily in favor of woman suffrage, and believes in the democratic ideals for which America stands. He states for us our mission, namely to sow the seeds of western civilization and to teach to India anil China our own ideals of democrat y. "The European war is an outcome of overgrown na tionalism; the spirit of greed, of requisition, which prompts ftreat Ra tions to exploit the smaller ones," says this mystic .genius, whose whole personality is charged with the soft, weird spirit of the Orient. He is clothed with the garments of the past and is a disciple of other—and per haps better—days. R. T. is the exact antithesis of T. R., with whom he differs ir characteHs tics and opinions. Walt Whitman, for example, whom Roosevelt Is pleased to decry, is in the* mind of the poet the true interpreter of the American atmosphere. It is to be hoped the Bengali poet will fid his stay In this country interesting and profitable. They smile at the w&y-back farmer when he comes to town—but he knows that a tlnnnel shirt Is much more com fortable In winter than one of the giddy things the town men wear. Christmas candy Is to 'be higher. Fewer stomuchaches.

From a number of parts of the State are heard expressions of hope that the factions will stop quarreling and work to make the State's big Republican ma jority this year only a starter for the gubernatorial election in 1918. Democratic State leaders, who have a number of things which they wish to conceal from their own people, notably the persistent Republican ma jorities in Dauphin county, the de cline In Democrats In the general as sembly, and the rising Republican vote in the congressional district in which National Committeeman Pal mer resides, are planning to make the most of any Republican factional light. To<fhls end it is intended to keep the State headquarters in this city open during the session as a gathering place for such Democratic legislators as are on speaking terms with the bosses. —Much of the joy of the State'sDem oeratlc bosses in the national result has been dimmed by the huge Repub lican vote In Pennsylvania and the failure to make inroads on the con gressional delegation or tlie State Sen ate, while the actual growth of the Republican majority In the House, which is greater than a majority of the whole lower chamber, is not re ferred to in polite machine circles. —lt is said that there will be diffi culty in finding a Democrat who would be v illing to be caucus nominee for speaker as the strength of the Dem ocracy is very small and so divided between 'factions that it will be as hard as ever to handle. . • —Representative Richard J. Bald win has sent word to friends In this city that he has promises of support from enough of the Republican mem bers of the next House to make him feel very confident about the caucus to be held on January 1. Mr. Baldwin is not given to rash statements, although there are some men connected with the State administration who say that Baldwin had better await the entering of a rival into the field before mak ing claims. Reports that Charles Wal ter, of Franklin; Joseph H. Phillips, of Clearfield, and Kred C. Ehrhardt, of lackawannu, were candidates have been denied. They have not expressed themselves. —Governor Brumbaugh is expected to start making changes soon. He Is said to have made up his mind to do it and it is said that many of the men opposed to him have made up their minds that lie is going to do it. too. —Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, is preparing to ask for considerable spe cial legislation for improvement of Philadelphia, he says. The Mayor has not specified, but it is understood that the bills will be prepared without de lay. Pittsburgh will probably ask some legislation as well. —'More complications regarding mine inspectors have arisen, l-ast Spring there was n contest over wheth er they should bo considered State officers or not and now a dispatch from Pottsvllle Bays that because of complications which have arisen in the election of four mine Inspectors in that county, quo warranto proceedings are to he started immediately by coun sel for Mine Inspector Keran Dona hue, of Pottsville, who was one of the Democratic nominees for inspector this year, if the court sustains the proceedings the election of M.

SAYS THE LIVING ROOM IS MILESTONE WE could not get our parlors back into their old state if we tried, because we ourselves have changed. The living room answers to a new social feeling. Life is too full to have patience wth formalities. The cry of the times seems to be for few friends and good ones. The living room is an intimate apartment, where people are at ease with one another. • * * Perhaps the finest thing about it Is that it is the man's room, quite as much as the woman's. In this age of the feminist, man has come into his own at home. Thanks partly to the decorator, he no longer con siders the arrangement of a room a woman's Job. The parlor belonged to the woman of the household. The men entered it under pressure, assum ing for the occasion a festive air, and more often than not seeking an early pretext for escape. But in the living room the colors are soft, the lights are good, the chairs are easy, and there is nothing to pull or knock off on the floor.

Panthers, says a story from Fulton county telling of a man lost in the woods, are more numerous than usual this year, and therefore the man's friends fear for him. So tlie panther may be coming back in numbers and reputation. He has been scarce In the East in late years. Now -and then rumors have come from the Adi rondacks and from Maine that one or two "ugly beasts" the narrators usu ally call them, have been seen or heard. Of course the panther is not ugly, any more than ho Is a panther. He is a puma, and he is lithe and graceful as n.ny cat. Of all the cats be climbs best, and even in the Bronx Zoo he will leap a do%en feet in the air to knock down a bird or a butter fly. So far as eating the lost man is concerned, not If the panther sees him first. The guides In the North Woods will tell you how they saw a panther's eyes aglow outside the zone of the camp fire and how his scream rang through two counties when they lired at him, but when it comes to acuslng the panther of liunling man even a guide falters, which is con siderable hesitation. Yet the panther at one time was credited with maneating powers and ambitions. Fifty years ago it was be lieved that his favorite pastime was crouching on the limb of a tree In wait for plump hunters. —New York Sun.

It is estimated that the total vote of tho State Is going to run over the 1,217,000 total of the 1912 campaign and if the* soldiers give 6,000 it will be a surprise to many people at the Capitol. Most of the returns from the soldiers' camps show a very small total can be looked * for and that in many organizations the number of men voting was less than estimated. Separate poll books have been made out for each organi zation and each district and there are several hundred piled up in the State Department awaiting comparison. Owing to the work Incidental to return of the official votes of counties which, did not count in the soldiers' vote the' poll books from El Paso have not.' been examined. Quite a few of them contain only one voter's name. The bills for the commissioners will be paid this week, while those for print ing will also go through. It Is ex-v pected tht first and last the soldiers* vote will be found to have been a pret ty expensive thing and yet tn a num ber of congressional and legislative districts quite a decisive matter.' Charles J. Roney, the Philadelphia legislator, who died Saturday in Phil adelphia, was well known to manv Harrisburgers as ono of the brightest of the young men sent from that city to the general assembly in years. Mr. Roney, who first sat In the session of 1911, attracted attention by a speech he made late one night. It was about the middle of the session and Roney, who sat in a rear seat and had been little heard of, got up and started to' talk. The bulk of the members wcreJ ready to adjourn as,it was close to. midnight and most of the spectators* had gone home. The young Philn delphian had a fine voice and speedily showed that he had brains and knew how to talk. Members who were go ing home to bed and to avoid a new member's first effort, went back to their seats and people in the corridors came in to hear what it was all about. When Roney got done it took George E. Alter to straighten things out, so strong an impression did the young lawyer make. Next session Roney was away down front and when he started to talk everyone/settled back In his seat to listen. And Roney never dis appointed. He knew when to talk and how to talk and when he talked he generally "had the goods." It is worth while recalling that when tlie bill to give Harrisburg the right to construct the sanitary dam came up it was almost lost hec&use of absence and indifference of mem bers. Speaker Alter saved it by in sisting that members present, stop talking and pay attention to the roll call. One of the men who was busy discussing a bill on the side lines was Honey. Tlio Harrisburg bill was at tiicked by George W. Alleru one of the Allegheny members who nad some doubts on almost everything that ses sion, and he started to make an argu ment. Honey, who knew the Harris burg bill was all right, suddenly got the drift of Allen's argument and walking over near him, remarked quite loudly: "Forget itln the laughter that followed some of the Democrats,, who chronically voted in the nega tive that session, changed their votes to "aye," while a number of Philadel phians followed ftoney's lead. During the last few years the trafllc on the lines of the Valley Rail- M ways has increased a hundred per cent, and on amount of this in crease the movement of the cars in and out of the city has at times been delayed considerably. In order to re lieve this congestion the company has had experts trying to work out a new plan. Many ideas have been sug gested, And one of them will be put in use some time within the next month. The company at present has a force of trackmen and electricians putting an additional track north of the borough of Wormleysburg. Last week the tlrst section on the new , double track was placed In use. It is the belief of many of the patrons of the*company that if two additional sections of double track could be laid, one between New Cumberland and Lemoyne and the other between Camp Hill and Washington Heights, traffic would be greatly relieved. Preparation of the calendar for the special term of criminal court which will begin December 4 is already under way and within the next week or two District Attorney M. E.

A feature *>f the tfial list this term will be the unusual number of defendants charged with murder, at least eleven having already been slated for trial on that charge. One entire court it is expected will be given over to the trial of the murder cases and It isn't at all unlikely that one or two of them may have to go over until January sessions. * ♦ Dr. William L.
