EXPERIMENTS WE are advised from New Castle that the solicitor of that city, a lawyer who has been respon sible for many of the jimcrack experi ments in third-class city legislation, has drafted some twenty amendments to the Clark act under which Harris burg and other cities are now op erating. He now proposes, among other things, that the city commissioners shall have four years instead of two, that the mayor shall be eligible to suc ceed himself and that the terms of the city clerk, city solicitor and city engineer shall be lengthened to four years. There can be no doubt that the Clark act, which imposed the present commission form of government upon Harrisburg, is susceptible of important amendment, but it becomes a grave question whether the people of this and other third-class cities want the term of the commissioners extended to four years. There is no use pretending otherwise when it is generally believed that the present scheme of government is unsatisfactory. While some good things have been accomplished through the commission plan, we of Harris burg know that it has been far from ideal. In short, so much incompetency has been shown in certain directions that the people will not likely grow enthusiastic over a proposed extension of the terms of the various commis sioners. The whole subject of commission government brings us back to the great need of a larger measure of home rule. If New Castle and other small cities want to experiment in order to overcome deficiencies of other years„ let the Clark act be so amended as to give them the right to play with gov ernment t n any way they see fit, so long as they do not encroach upon the fundamental instrument or interfere with those matters which affect all cities alike. Governor Brumbaugh is absolutely \ right in his contention that Pennsyl vania cities should be given an oppor tunity to work out their own salvation. He will be doing the Commonwealth a great public service should he urge upon the Legislature the adoption of a home-rule amendment to the Clark act which will free Harrisburg of the restrictions imposed by that undigested and crude scheme of government. Harrisburg will never favor a four year term for any city commissioner. If he be an efficient and capable pub lic official, the taxpayers will not hesi tate to continue him In office so long as he will consent to serve; but should he prove inefficient and without ad ministrative capacity, as is the case in Harrisburg in certain quarters, then it should be possible for the people to amputate him from the public service without unreasonable delay. More and more thoughtful men who are giving attention to municipal con ditions are coming to the conclusion that the commission government may be all right, providing the commis sioners serve without pay and solely because of their interest in the com munity, but when the salary attached to the service becomes the chief object of those who seek these places It Is high time that the whole scheme should give way to something more representative and satisfactory in its form. So long as the commissioners are also legislators, the commission scheme Is certain to prove unsatis factory. There is entirely too much "my department" in the attitude of the average commissioner for the good of the municipality as a whole. "The U-boat issue is dogging Uncle Sam's footsteps." Daschunding, so to speak. WE'RE A QUEER LOT WE'RE a queer lot, we humans. We Insist on steam heat, warm bathrooms and hot water for our morning baths. We want the milkman to get around before break fast and we shiver If the temperature is a few degrees below ordinary. We complain bitterly against the injustice of public service corporations if our street car is behind time a minute when we start for work and if it is cold, we make a mental—if not a ver bal—threat to "take the matter up with the Publio Service Commission." We Insist upon being comfortable. But the moment the opportunity offers—for many of us, at least—we chuck our Jobs and our comforts for the chance of living In a little log cabin in the forest or along the mouiv- MONDAY EVENING, tainside, break the Ice in the stream hard by to wash in the morning, toast our shins and freeze our backs beside an open lire, tramp all day through the open, get our own suppers in the evening, drink our coffee black and come back to town to boast what a good time we have had. Dosens of Harrisburgers now preparing to go to the deer camps testify to the truth of this. It will be California's turn to snicker if the House goes Democratic because of a few doubtful Pennsylvania dis tricts. THANKSGIVING DONATIONS THE Harrlsburg Hospital will nsk for Thanksgiving donations to morrow, when wagons will start out to gather in contributions. The hospital has more than ordi nary need for assistance at this time. It was hard hit by the typhoid fever epidemic now happily on the wane. It has had extraordinary expenses and it must make up for these drains upon its resources if the service is to be maintained at high standard the com ing winter. Few there are in Harrisburg who cannot afford to give something. Re member that the doors of the hospital are always open to you and that you do not know what moment you will need the hospital. Call up the man agement and have the wagon stop at YOL T R house. The New York World talks about weakening President Wilson's influence abroad. Why talk about impossibili ties? WH AT OF TILE FUTURE? ENGLAND has evidently deter mined that the war must be fought to a finish, without regard to time or loss. Lloyd George re cently declared that it took England twenty years to defeat Napoleon and the first fifteen of those years were black with British defeat. He says it will not take twenty years to win the present war, but whatever the time required it will be done. It would appear from such statements by the leaders of England and France that only national exhaustion will change the purpose of these nations. By reason of this attitude on the part of the belligerents the Question which is giving the people of the United States pause is the rising cost of food and materials which may cause a cessation of the temporary prosperity resulting from European purchases. So serious has this situa tion become that an embargo on the shipment of food products from the United States is seriously discussed, for no matter how high the cost the war countries will continue to buy, and this very situation may react upon our own people. It is difficult to analyze the unpre- | cedented conditions which confront i the family of nations. So, as the year: comes to an end, the problems which are pressing for solution are so serious and so complicated that few are able to predict with anything like certainty the outcome. Congress will soon con vene and upon this body will devolve solution in part of some of the prob- • lems which grow more and more seri ous as the days go by. It is reasonable to hope that after the battle of ballots our lawmakers will give careful consideration to the things which so vitally affect the; prosperity and welfare of the Amer-1 ican people. No wonder the Danube is blue! STEELTOX SHADE TREES STEELTOX is again pointing the way in the matter of the care of ! shade trees. Under the direc-1 tion of the Shade Tree Commission of! tfae industrial borough the trees are! being given proper attention at the present time and there has been absolutely no complaint on the part of property owners. In fact, they ; realize that this care is essential for the preservation of the shade trees of i the town. Harrisburg would do well to take notice and emulate the Steel- j ton example. The Census Bureau reports the popu- 1 lation of the country now 102,826.309. ' Talk about going into details. A SERIOUS SITUATION INASMUCH as the newspaper in dustry is one in which the people ; are perhaps more interested than any other private activity, the grow ing seriousness of the situation af fecting this important interest is now j attracting the attention of those fn authority as well as of the people generally. Never before has the news paper business been so seriously' menaced as at the present timo. It is. rapidly becoming a question as to how many of the newspapers not sup- j ported by large private income can survive. Paper manufacturers hold out no hope whatever of improve-! ment. Indeed, the situation is certain to become worse after the first of the year, when expiring contracts will in volve enormous increases for print paper all over the country. It is believed that the results of the war prices are being aggravated by a combination in restraint of trade, but these things are hard to prove and notwithstanding the congressional in vestigations which are under way, It is doubtful whether any relief is to be expected from the probing which has been going on and which is to be con tinued during the coming session of Congress. "COME ON*, BOYS" THE President <has been invited to visit Colorado and Utah, but he has declined—for the present though he says he is extremely grate ful to tho two States for their sup port. Now, since Mahomet may not go to the mountains, there is abso lutely no reason why tho mountains should not go to Mahomet. So we counsel the "deserving Democrats" of Utah and Colorado to make the pil grimage to Washington and to carry with them tho certified claims of their demands for office. ——^mm—mmmmrnmmmmmmmm—mmi^mmmmm MMM-—_M-MIMMM*MMMMMIMM AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING -:- -:- -:- -:- By BRIGGS S i J \A/h£\i Voov£ ©eeio fluo vbo Decide To But chwvkse vbuf \aJORKikICS WARD DAY £*JD IT ALL BY T"HE AND TH(MK Yso'CL "ffcY AFTER.

Ik ""PtKKOutcanXa | By the Ex-Commltterman j Representative Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware county, has become a formal candidate for the (speakership of the next House of Representatives. He issued a statement last night in which he said that after having traveled over the whole State and hav ing received enough pledges he was satisfied that he would win. At the same time a statement was issued by tho members of the House from the Seventh Congressional district, com prising Delaware and Chester coun ties, declaring for Baldwin. Reports are also current that men opposed to Baldwin have been sounding out some Republican members about staying out of the caucus planned for New Year's night. The Philadelphia mem bers, who have more Vare than Mc- Nichol men, will meet next month and Allegheny may not caucus until the holidays. The Vare people are op posed to Baldwin but have not con centrated upon any one. The State administration has thus far remained out of the tight. The significance of Baldwin's an nouncement is that he waited until he was sure he had enough to win be fore speaking and the endorsement from Chester includes Representative Samuel A. Whitaker, partisan of T. Larry Eyre. and the administration tioor leader last session. Baldwin's announcement says: "Having received assurances of support from many members of the General Assembly, I have decided to be a candidate for Speaker at the coming session. I earnestly hope that X may have your support and influence in securing my election to this high position, and I assure you, in case of my selection, it will be my aim'to per form the duties of the office so as to reflect honor upon the State and ful fill the highest expectation of my friends." The Chester-Delaware endorsement was put out following a letter sent by Baldwin to all Representatives-elect asking for their support. The resolu tion of indorsement, signed by Samuel A. Whitaker, Maris M. Hollingsworth and Harry C. Graham, of Chester, and William T. Ramsey and H. H. Hey burn. of Delaware, follows: "Whereas, the Hon. Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware county, has an nounced himself a candidate for Speaker of the House of Representa tives of the Pennsylvania General As sembly, and. "Whereas, we recognize in Mr. Baldwin a man who has had years of experience in the Legislature of Penn sylvania and who is fitted In point of mental capacity and executive ability to discharge the duties of this re sponsible position in a capable and impnrtial manner; therefore, be It "Resolved, that we, the undersigned Representatives-elect from the Sev enth Congressional district, compris ing the counties of Chester and Dela ware, do hereby indorse the candi dacy of the said Hon. Richard J. Bald win for Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives of the Pennsylvania Gen eral Assembly, and earnestly urge other Representatives-elect from the several counties of the State to give him their unqualified support." —The Pittsburgh Dispatch Is out with an attack upon the Penrose leaders in Allegheny county and charges them with responsibility for the loss of two Republican Congress men. The attack of the Dispatch has been expected for some time as It has given signs of lining up with Commis sioners W. A. Magoe and J. D. O'Nell, who are working together for the first time In years, against the Armstrong- Uabcock-Leslle combination. The at tack is also believed to be part of a move to get more members from Alle gheny county to align themselves with the State administration. The Pen rose people claim twenty-one of the twenty-four Allegheny members. —Uncle Dave Lane says that the talk of thp Democrats uhout fraud In Philadelphia is amusing him. —Although Representative Charles Walter, of Chambersburg, declared while here last week that he was not a candidate for Speaker and did not intend to be, his friends aro getting active for htm and suggesting that he be taken up as a compromise candi date. Walter is regarded here as an administration man, although a fair-minded man with courage of his conviction. The Philadelphia Ledger has been advocating his selection. The HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! administration has heretofore been regarded as favoring Representative George W. Williams of Wellsboro. —Mayor Smith of Philadelphia is accused by the Philadelphia North American with playing a fifty-fifty game with both factions in the legis lature in order to avoid "rippers" and to get some things which he wants. The same paper says the Mayor Is In- | clined to give McNichol men places after having "fired" many of them. —Chorles Johnson, former insur ance commissioner, who was here to day, seemed to be much Interested in i the next speakership election. —Endorsements of Richard J. Bald win from up-State members are com mencing to come in. —Well known Democrats are com mencing to get busy on making up the deficit in the national committee funds. The Democratic windmill here, ' which slipped a couple ot' cogs when i the national chairman said that it was up to the States to raise the wind Is running normal, but with sorrow.

New I York Morning Telegraph. Franz Joseph ' Boston Post.] s Franz Joseph died as he had lived, .amidst tragedy. No monarch of mod ern times has been forced to bear such 1 sorrows as did the old Emperor during j his long reign. The tragic death of | his son, the crown prince, and his em j press, the mysterious disappearance of j his favorite nephew and the assassina- I tlon of the heir to his throne brought | a succession of burdens to his aged shoulders which made him a pitiable figure before the world. Then follow ed the greatest tragedy of all. the plunging of his country into the great est war in history, a war for which Austria, if not the Emperor himself, J has been held directly responsible. He j listened to the voice of Berlin, de jinanding such humiliation from Serbia as made that little country prefer war ! to disgrace and thus brought on the j world struggle. Throughout the 08 years of his roiffn Franz Joseph en joyed to a remarkable degree the love of his people. Probably a majority in the dual monarchy, which Is made up of many different races, did not ap prove the domination of German in fluence which has shaped the destiny of Austria-Hungary during the past thirty years. But affection for the Em peror always prevented any open break. It has many times been said that none but Franz Joseph could hold the em pire together. Freedom's True Friend The true friend of freedom does not wish to be insulted by the supposition that he believes each human Individ ual an erring man, and that neverthe less the united clamor of erring men has a character of divinity about It; nor does he desire to be told that tho voice of the people, though legiti mately and Institutionally proclaimed and Justly commanding respect and obedience, is divine on that account. He knows that the majority may err, and that he has the right and often the duty to use his whole energy to convince them of their error, and law fully to bring about a different set of laws. The true and stanch republi can wants liberty, but no deification either of himself or others,—Emer son. HOW TO PREACH BY USE OF MOVING PICTURES IN CHURCH MOTION PICTURES are becoming so familiar an adjunct . of church-work, even taking their place in the regular Sunday service, that Tho Advance (Cong., Chicago), recently offered a prize for the most informative article describing their use. The winner is the Rev. Chester S. Bucher, who has used motion pic tures for two years, and who is an enthusiastic advocate of the "screen sermon." He first used the motion picture at a church in Cleveland. The people, he says, had previously "pass ed by our church, leaving its pews empty, and filled the seats of the nickel university at the next corner." This was the answer: "For thirty-live dollars we bought' a second-hand Edison machine; for thirty dollars we secured a second hand salvanized-iron booth; for about forty dollars we purchased elec trical materials, and an electrician in the church installed the equipment himself and operated the machine. Our regular order of service was used on Sunday evenings, with the single exception of substituting a scripture lesson on the screen for the lesson which had been formerly read from the pulpit Bible. The Bible film was the basis of the sermon. The life of Christ was used in a series, one reel each Sunday night. When the people actually saw Jesus sink to his knees under the weight of the cross, there were involuntary exclamations of hor ror as the Roman soldiers goaded him How to Keep in Trim In these days of prolapsed abdom inal walls, intestinal toxemia, stasis and mineral oil'the most important ex ercise is that for the muscles' of the abdomen and incidentally for the cir culation of the abdominal viscera, says an expert authority. Of course, the bedroom window has been open all night, winter and summer. If there are more windows, open them also. "Lie upon the back on th efloor with the toes hooxed under the bottom or side of the bedstead and rise to a sit ting posture four times. Slide away from the bed and grasp each knee in turn, doubling it firmly on the abdo men four times while still on the back. Then embrace both knees and flex both together on the abdomen four times. Then repeat all these exercises. Rest. Next place the locked hands under the knee while lying on the back, and arch the body upward so that the frame rests only on shoulders and heels. Do it four times and re peat after a brief rest. "Stand with feet turned out nnd heels touching, hands placed on hilts, I chest up, and bow rapidly and vigor ously to the waist level six times. Then tilt to left six times, then to right six times, then bend backward as far as possible six times. Still in same posi tion, rise on toes, head and chest up, ten times. Then rise on heels ten times. Spread the feet a little apart and sink until squatting on the heels six times, springing up to the erect I poattion vigorously. Standing with heels together, toes turned out, ad vance the right foot dlugonally, rl.Tht knee bent, raising the arms extended to level with shoulders, the while in haling deeply; restore the feet and ex hale slowly as the arms are dropped. Perform similar motions with loft foot advanced; then with right foot placed behind diagonally, and then with left foot also so placed. Repeat four times. This will give you a start for the day, which together with the dally and never omitted bath, will instill vigor and awaken circulation. "Better still, of course, Is to take a shower bath while warm and Just out of bed, dress properly and proceed out of doors, to take rapidly a set of light exercises." Value of Goats' Milk The increased cost of milk would be a good thing for the country If It should lead people to keep goats. For some reason goat's milk has never be*n popular In America, atlhough In Europe, especially In France, Italy and Switzerland, It Is much esteemed, particularly for babies. A goat can be kept at a small expense where It would be impossible to keep a cow. Garden waste and roadside browse will sup port It. A small shed affords sufficient shelter. A goat Is far cleaner In its habits than a cow and requires only such care as a ohlld can give It. Let ua get gouts.—.Youth's Companion, \ NOVEMBER 27, 1916. on with the points of their spears. Then came my chance to make plain how our sin crucifies Christ to-day. During Holy Week, Instead of con ducting services each night for a faithful few, we used 'Pilgrim's Pro gress' as the basis of a series of illus trated sermons that actually brought In the people of the neighborhood for our services. Although these services were not stressed as evangelistic, peo ple untied with the church and were brought into the Kingdom as a direct result." In Dr. Bucher's present church in I>imn, Ohio, the motion picture outfit is more elaborate, and the results are eminently satisfactory. The church, it seems, "is located one block from the public square." Each week, says Dr. Bucher, "we use display advertise ments on the amusement page in all the papers, and on Sunday nights the people who drift up and down the streets whom churches have not been reaching come to the popular illustrated service for a genuine relig ious message." The writer continues, with some details which ought to prove useful to any church contem plating the employment of motion pictures in its regular work. "We have heard some criticism from other churches where the pews are empty, but the unchurched people who attend our service are grateful, and attentive, and responsive. The loose change offering pays for the ex penses of publicity and of films."

Throughout legis lative journals there are constant refer ences to woman's rights, woman suf frage and other terms tinder which the ballot for woman has appeared, and according to authentic information here the first woman's rights conven tion in Pennsylvania was held &t West Chester on June 2, 1852. The mem bers composing it were, according to the records, people who had been act ive and enthusiastic workers in the. antislavery and temperance questions. * ♦ * The pages of the legislative Record for the sesison of 1883 shows that Cap tain John W. Morrison, the formed State Treasurer and present Deputy Commislsoner of Hanking, who repre sented in part the Fifth legislative) district of Allegheny county, offered the following resolution in the House: "Resolved by the House of Repre sentatives (the Senate concurring). That our senators and in Congress be requested to urge the passage of the joint resolution now pending in both houses, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the P States, declaring that the right °Hi S< '" ra B e should not be denied to citizens by any state on account of sex. The proceedings do not disclose anj' debate on the resolution and on tta passage the yea 3 and nays were re quired by John H. Ltndls, who was a Lancaster county representative and later superintendent of the United States mint at Philadelphia, and Cap tain Morrison and resulted in a ma jority of two in its favor, the vote be ing 78 to 76. A sort of "banquet hall deserted" atmosphere surrounds the membership of that House during the session of 1883. Less than tifty survive, among them being Captain Morrison, Isaao B. Brown, later Secretary of Internal Affairs: Colonel Theodoro Burchiield, of the State Library: Lewis Emery, Jr., senator and later candidate for gov ernor: A. D. Glenn, Deputy Superin tendent of Public Instruction: General Willis J. Hulings, Spanish War soldier and senator and congressman; John H. Landis, J. W. Nesblt, of Allegheny county, and Theodore B. Klein, later Deputy Secretary of Internal Affairs and then member from Lebanon county. • ♦ Captain Morrison has a letter sent him at the time by Miss Julia T. Fos ter, a daughter of Heron Foster, founder of the Pittsburg Dispatch, in which she wrote: "I was delighted to read this A. M. that you had been able to introduce the resolution which I sent you and that it had carried amid applause and hisses. Accept thanks for your kind ness: but what, comes next, for it should be 1o Congress before they adjourn? Having been born in Alle gheny county, I am glad to have a representative from that county have the honor of presenting the resolution. The Philadelphia Inquirer of to-day gives the names of all voting on the resolution, which will do for future reference."

In fact, the acci dents have happened at places close to the State's capital, and which, if a, policy is adopted whereby State, county and municipal divisions could unite in abolishing such crossings, the entrances to Harrisburg could be made safer. The average city is so busy getting rid of grade crossings in side that it does not consider what is at its gates on the most traveled high ways. • • • A high school for Lemoyne, Worm, leysburg and Camp Hill is now being discussed in educational circles of these towns.

One director said the other day: "That if these three districts do not proceed they will bo adding to their present quarters. If this is done they will not need any room for five or ten years to come. Even if they do enlarge they will not have a better course. Should they enlarge school facilities, these sections will be run ning in a 'back number' method for years to come and the joint school will be a question for the next generation."
