WELFARE AND EFFICIENCY THE welfare and efficiency con ference which opened here to day is well named —for upon the welfare of the worker and the in dustry for which he labors depends the efficiency of the worker and the efficiency of the industry in the econo mic life of the community. We arc apt to look upon "welfare" work too much from a singlo stand point—that of the employo alone. Greedy, or careless, manufacturers, heedless of anything but ijnmediate re sults, used to pay small attention to the human units of their factories and mills. They thought much of me chanical efficiency, but very little of the necessity of keeping the man power up to top notch. Men were killed or Injured or allowed to dissi pate their strength recklessly, and everybody, even the men themselves, took it as a matter of course. It was necessary, then, as it is now to a less extent, to institute measures to guard the human element against injustice and injury. "Welfare" work came to mean alone the welfare of the worker. But In recent years there has come to the attention of tho working man the thought that there is another sido to tho "welfare" problem—that of the manufacturer. Intelligent lead ers of labor are coming moro and more to see that wages and steady em ployment depend largely upon the profitable operation of industry. That is not a new thought, but It is one that needs to be more and more impressed upon the community. Every man who spends his income, or the bulk of it, to increase the pro ducing capacity of the community rather than to cater to his own wants or luxuries should be encouraged. The spendthrift who wastes his pat rimony in riotous living is a parasite and an enemy of society, because he is wasting its resources. The man who uses his income or his inheritance to build factories, to clear land, to con struct railroads, or in any of the thousand and one ways by which hu manity is enabled to live better and civilization is advanced, increases not alone his own wealth but the wealth of society as a whole. The more such a man earns for himself—always con sidering that he is operating within a reasonable profit—the better mankind as a whole is for his operations. The welfare of such a man must be considered quite as much as tho wel fare of the worker—important though that is. The welfare of the worker and the welfare of tho employer are interdependent. Welfare and efficien cy go hand in hand and all classes of society should bo the beneficiaries. Our idea of welfare and efficiency is to have the price of a good meal and a good cook at home to prepare it. A GOOD SIGN WHEN the Pilgrims were about to leave Holland, whither they had lied from England, to seek "a faith's pure shrine" on the "wild New England shore," their pas tor preached to them a sermon just before boarding ship from this text: And there at the river, bv Ahara, T proclaimed a fast, that we might humble ourselves before our God. and seek from llim a right way for us, and for our children, and for all our substance. Sturdy, fearless, upstanding men these Pilgrims were before the world, but humblo and prayerful before God. The great gathering of Methodist men here to-day well illustrates how again, after a period of self-suffi ciency and boastfulness, men are turn ing toward God, seeking a "right way for us, and for our children, and for all our substance." It Is a good sign. Wo suggest that Harrisburg minis ters of all denominations may find something of profit in the publicity ex -1 hibit at the Methodist convention. THE PEOPLE'S MONEY MAYOR MEALS puts into simple language his proposal to pay the city's electric light bill out of tho earnings of the water depart ment. "It is the people's money; let them upend it In a way that will help keep tlioir tax rate down," is the way he , puts it. That sums up the situation rery well. There Is no reason why the sur plus of tho water department should be piled up, year after year, awaiting TUESDAY EVENINGT some possible use by the department as the city grows. No business con cern permits the profits of one depart ment to accumulate at the expense or other departments. He pools his earnings and so divides them that they will benefit all branches of the business and his stockholders. The water department is merely a part of the city's munictpal business plant, and it should be treated as such. No hunting season is complete with out a fatality in Dauphin county. YOUTH AND THE MAN SIXTY miles on his bicycle was tho treat a Harrisburg man offered himself yesterday in cele bration of his sixtieth birthday. Many a man many years younger would have looked upon such a jour ney as a severe hardship. It all lies with the individual. Youth is not near ly so much a matter of years as it is one of habits. The man who is young in his mind, who keeps his body ycuthful by healthful exercise and wholesome food and clean living, never grows old. Tho man who burns himself up by early excesses is an old man at thirty and a tottering wreck at fifty if he lives so long. There is no better way to keep young than to live as boys live. Lots of exercise, good, plain, substantial food, love of out-doors and love of fellowmen are better than all tho Turkish baths, "health foods," "re ducing systems" and physicians' pre scriptions ever devised. But there are few who have the will to do what they know they ought to do. When this HarrlsbUrger went riding yesterday he took with him a lad of nineteen. Why? Because men of his own age were teetering to and from their work in street cars or tot tering about with canes soft of muscle and growing old in spirit. There ought to be nothing remark able in any man of sixty riding a bicycle sixty miles. It ought to be the ordinary instead of the extra ordinary thing. Possibly when fifty of every hundred, instead of one of every hundred, men learn the virtue that lies in the city's golf links and along the pleasant paths of the municipal parks, the sixty-year-old youth will become so common that newspaper comment upon his boyish | capers will be no longer worth while. Every time we have one of these fine | frosty mornings some old liar on the j street car repeats that fairy tale of | warming hJs bare feet on the spots where the cows slept the night before. SOME LESSONS FROM SUGAR THE present high cost of living serves to make people think upon economic problems. The high price now being paid for sugar, for example, has made the production of both sugar beets and sugar cane very profitable during the past year; but while this is true, there is much significance in the announcement from Ottawa, Ohio, that the sugar plant at that place, which was built in 1912 and closed in 1914 after the passage of the Democratic tariff law, will soon bo reopened. It will bo remembered that the Un derwood tariff law reduced the duty on sugar and proposed to put that commodity on the free list on May 1, 1916. Many Louisiana sugar produc ers went into bankruptcy and a num ber of beet sugar factories in northern States were closed. The consumer got his sugar no cheaper. Finally realizing their mistake, the Democrats repealed the provision placing sugar on the free list, and the war, which shut off exportations from Germany, opened new markets to the United States, with the result that the pride went up. While the American consumer Is now playing a high price for sugar on account of the war, he Is reminded of the fact that American sugar pro ducers were going out of business un der the Democratic tariff law before the war began. "Suffrage will have one fast friend on the floor of the House in the person of the new woman member," observes an exchange. Careful of your adjec tives, neighbor; remember, its a lady you're talking about. ANOTHER OLD CI'STOM GONE THE Kansas City Times, in its col umn "Kansas City Forty Years Ago," publishes this item, which might have been from any ono of a | hundred journals of the peViod: The young ludies of Wyandotte sre making flabornte preparations for the leap year party which they are to give Thursday night at Dun ning's Hall. What has become of the old-time way of observing leap year? About all the words mean in 1916 is that there was one more day than usual In February and that the Fourth of July and Christmas each "Jump" one day In their sequence, giving us Christmas on Monday instead of on Saturday. Not so very long ago maidens looked upon leap year seriously and car toonists and comic column men had a twelve months' carnival of fun on the theme every fourth year. It was quite the fashion then for girls to Invite the boys to dances and parties and to give their favorites quite as good a time as the boys were accustomed to show the girls in other years. All that the girl who looked longingly toward some lad had to do In was to get up a "leap year" party and invite him to it. Many a young fellow bright enough In other respects, but stupid in love, had his eyes thus opened to pleas ant possibilities that like as not ripened into lifelong happiness. But that is all over and the leap year party Is as passe as hoop skirts and snuff. Per haps it is because every year Is leap year with the modern girl, who goes where she wants to go, does what she wants to do, and does not attempt any great pains to conceal her feelings, whatFoever they may be, toward a member of the opposite sex.

City Manager For New York A prediction was made at tho reg ular Saturday luncheon of the City Club yesterday l>y Richard S. Childs who presided, that New York will some day be under tho city manager plan of government, and he Intro duced as principal speaker H. M. Waite, now city manager of Dayton, Ohio, who, he said, might some day have a similar job here. Mr. Waite told in detail how the city manager plan has worked out in Dayton. He praised It for its efficiency and nonpartisanship. He told how overlapping duties of various city de partments had been straightened out. For instance, there were three sets of visiting nurses. These were put under one head, overhead cost was reduced and efficiency increased. Ultimately, he said, Dayton will take over all tested philanthropic work, making private charity unnecessary except in experimental fields. Politicians wept when a manager was called in from another city, he said, but the people have managed to survive the blow. lie told how the. water system had been improved, and an annual deficit for inadequate serv ice had been changed into an annual j profit of $50,000 with satisfactory ser vice. Improved methods of garbage i disposal have reduced the death rate i for babies. A city purchasing agent has | saved nil along the line. The legul aid j work has eliminated the loan shark, ;ind t'ue work in correctional institu ;tions is doing wonders in making j prisoners self-sustaining. When the new government was in j stalled the city was staagerhv.; under a debt load of $5,000,000, with in adequate sinking fund pro visions. For two years the city has paid as it went, reduced its floating debt, increased its j sinking fund, with no diminution in | advisable activities, and is now on a j sound financial basis.-—New YOrk Sun. Is It Man or Insect? We think about and talk about our home on Mother Earth, We seem to be so welcome here no telling what we're worth. We sing about our midget moon and his soft silvery ray A bit of solar light hurled back from China's golden day. To stern old flaming Father Sun we offer welcome praise, For his -magnetic power and for Earth's glad nights and days. We thank him for retaining us In his gigantic race, 'And whirling us around him as he rolls along through space. Man's notion is that everything for his sake was invented, But who can prove that man, at best, Is not a bit demented? And who can swear that Mother Earth, with just the right advice Would not get rid of us as we, some times get rid of lice? Perhaps T ought to he ashamed such thoughts to entertain. But then I can't get free from them, I've tried and tried In vain. I'm not convinced that earthquakes and tornados In the West, Are not her maddest efforts to annihi late us pests. Perhaps she thinks to drive us out the thunder storm's enough, But since we've no place else to go, we're pretty hard to bluff. I may be wrong—l hopo I am—but ever since election, Despite my will, my thoughts drift this unorthodox direction. JAS. C. BOWERMASTER, For the Telegraph. POOR CHURCH PUBLICITY, SAYS NOTED RELIGIOUS WRITER By WILLIAM T. ELLIS WHAT'S the joke—or the graft?" would be the first question of a sophisticated New Yorker should he read on the financial page of the Times every day for a week three or four columns of items like the following: "Judge Gary, president of the United States Steel Company went to his office as usual to-day. "J. Pierpont Morgan was in his office yesterday working on some banking business. "Adolpli S. Ochs spent yesterday In his office in the Times. "John Wanatnaker interviewed some of the heads of departments at his store yesterday." "What's the main idea?" one be wildered reader would ask another, looking for a hidden significance in the items. They are not news; the world expects men to be about their daily business. Certainly no editor would think of publishing such para graphs—-except In connection with religion! Hundreds of daily news papers in this country print every week columns of such "news Items" as the following: "Rev. Silas Swell, D. D., pastor of the First Methodist Church, Fifteenth and Market streets, will preach to morrow morning on 'The Old Time Religion' and in tho evening 6n "Sanc tification.' Everybody welcome. "The sermons of Rev. O. B. Modest, B. A., D. D., LL. D., In the Third Presbyterian Church, are attracting much attention. Dr. Modest promises | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR~] . On the Hike To the Editor of the Telegraph: Will you kindly insert this in your I evening paper: El Paso, Tex., Oct. 30.—This poetry was composed by myself while on u| four-day hike, over one of (lie danger-] ous mountains down here: TITE HIKE At a little social meeting, Of soiue officers one night, An argument was started Which ended in a hike. Regular army officers Who wire shooting ail the gulT, Got a trifle overheated i And our general called the bluff. I So :i line of march was mapped out, ! A time limitiaiso set And it' there was a wager made, Our general won the bet. Then we started out to show them j That true soldiers can't be stopped i Where ho led us wo would follow "'Twas Hell," but no one dropped. 1 Blisters were thick upon our feet, Many shoes were filled with blood, One drop of water in our throat, Would have made adoby mud. Wo marched by day and marched by night, The wagons were behind, Mules dropped by the wayside, And we were nearly blind. But our spirits were undaunted, There was no such thing as quit. Wo made it on the schedule. And again we proved our grit. You can talk about your soldiers. But the guardsmen of to-day, Are the boys who have no equal The boys from "Grand Old Pa." —C. A. KUHLWIND, Co. D, Bth Pa. Inf. Wilson and Prohibition To the Editor of the Telegraph: Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 21. The National Engineer of November 2, 1916, contains an article credited to your paper, that states that Woodrow Wilson should lose no time In reply ing to the question asked him as to whether he has been misrepresented by those who are using his name as one of eleven Americans that favor temperance but oppose prohibition. I think that ho answered it before It was asked, by opposing national woman suffrage, und thus lining up with the liquor interests on that ques tion. lam quite sure that he got the booze vote in Los Angeles and in San Francisco where the prohibition amendment voted upon were defeated. NOVEMBER 21, 1916. two treats to-morrow, at 10:30 a. m. on 'My Experiences at the General Assembly,' and in the evening at 7; 30 o'clock 'Memories of Venice.' His church is at Sixth and Vine streets, and all seats are free. Come early. "Rev. I. M. Merse, the new pastor of Jordan Baptist Church, Second and Reed streets, will preach to-morrow morning and evening, and there will be singing by the choir. This is the church of the warm welcome." I am not jesting. That sort of "news items," or "church notices," set solid and in small type (to make them more alluring) is the staple religious feature of hundreds of self-rcspecting daily papers through out the land. By it they really think they are serving the churches, though an investigation has shown nobody but the proofreader ever reads these "notices" through, and there is no instance on record of their having enhanced his religion! Obviously, and bad custom to the contrary notwithstanding, these notices are advertisements, and should be run only as such. They would look better and do more good in the classified column, where they belong. Then the space now occupied could be used for the real news of the churches, of which there is far more than the average newspaper suspects. Both religion and journalism will be served when live news and read able religious features are substi tuted for the conventional "church notices," and in all papers these are run as avowed, paid-for advertise ments. While Woodrow is answering that question he might tell us also in whoso interest he labored when he vetoed the | improved Postal Savings Bank Bill I next to the last Congress. —THOMAS H. GORDNIER.

The station restaurant was not as good as it is now, but that real ly did not have any effect. Mr. Wit was on his way to or from Washington and had been much in the limelight because of the Boxer outbreak and hia marvelous adroitness in When he came this way preparations were made to give him luncheon and the newspapermen were there to meet him. As the minister in native somewhat subdued, came up witl* some secretaries he "spotted" tna newspapermen and shook his head. Then he went in and sat down. The scribes watched for him from the doorway'and finally one went in and presented his card. "What's yotir father's name?" de manded the minister as he read the card. Then followed: "How old is he?'* "Have you any brothers?", "What do they do?" "Where were you born?'* and finally "Are you married?" When the answers had been given one more bolder than the rest broke in to ask Mr. Wu something about the effect on China of the army of occupa tion, of whose actions some words had come over the wire. The Chinese minister looked at his questioner and asked, "What army?" Before any answer could be given he inquired in perfect English: "How many men are in the Penn sylvania National Guard?" "How many companies have yoil here?" "Is there an arsenal here?" "When will you finish your capitol?'* "How many trains come In her® every day?" The affable minister never blinked as he fired off the questions, never asked the newspapermen to sit down and although it was broiling hot, he calmly fanned himself with one hand and ate ice creiim with the other. Hence there appeared in one news-* paper in Harrisburg that day a notice to the effect that Minister Wu had passed through Harrisburg. • It is not often that employers or employes ask to have a peacemaker come back.

The other day Gilday set tled a strike which was spreading by getting the men, instead of a big in crease in wages they demanded, a bonus system which was to last a3 long as the present high prices last. It was a great stunt and when lie at tempted to leave all hands asked that he be retained. The men were afraid 'it would not be true and the operators .were afraid someone would buck and spoil the operation of the new system. Hence the letter to please keep Mr. Gilday on the job. • * * The Welfare and Efficiency confer ence, which opened at the Capitol to day is the fourth to be held.

Commissioner Jackson, just appointed by Governor Tener, laid the proposi tion before the Governor and ho promptly declared it an excellent idea and everyone in the State government , was interested. • * Officials of the Public Service Com mission got an interesting complaint with a request tied to it yesterday.
