KEEP THE STREETS CI.EAII CHIEF OF POLICE WETZEL has acted promptly and vigorously in ordering down the advertis ing banners strung across Market street, once his attention was called to the nuisance. The chief is entirely justified in his action. Harrisburg spent thousands of dollars to clear the streets of the central part of the city of overhead wires. It would be foolish to nullify these expenditures by permitting the thoroughfares to be cluttered up by flaring signs that are anything but decorative, which obstruct the view and which might in case of storm prove dangerous to property. Beside, if the privilege is accorded to one it must be to all. It would be a pretty sight, indeed, to see Market Btreet cris-crossed with banners strung from every building front. Chief of Police Wetzel is manifestly endeavoring to do what he can to bring about a more efficient and satisfactory administration of the police depart ment. In this laudable effort he will have the support and commendation of the people. Just a word of advice—Say your Thanksgiving prayers before going to market to-morrow. NO "BRANCH" CAPITOL STILL harping upon a "Branch" Capitol in Philadelphia a com mission appointed at the con clusion of the last session of the Legislature to consider this matter •will have another meeting next week to which prominent Pliiladelphians I will be summoned to testify regarding! the need of such a building. This is wholly and solely a Phila delphia proposition and is the out growth of a joke at the last session of the Legislature, when a resolution was introduced in the Senate pro viding for the creation of a commis sion to consider the advisability of erecting in Philadelphia a building to house all the State departments hav ing offices in that city, including the Supreme and Superior courts. It was never intended that this resolution should be taken seriously; as a mat ter of fact it was a practical joke engineered by several newspaper men. But like many another joke it •was taken seriously in several quar ters and resulted in the appointment of a commission which has had sev eral serious sessions to consider the problem. Nobody believes that the State Legislature will provide for a "Branch" Capitol anywhere. If such an institution were established in Philadelphia, then why not at Pitts burgh, Scranton, Erie, Williamsport 1 and elsewhere throughout the State wherever a division or bureau of the State government happens to be located. Nobody, will object to State bureaus located in Philadelphia being concen trated in one buidling for the con venience of those having business with them, but it ought to be possible to concentrate such divisions without the pretense of a Capitol adjunct in the way of a building. So far as the Supreme Court is concerned, the time is coming and is not far away when that body will be required to have permanent sittings hero at the seat of government. There may have been a reason for the meet ing of the higher court in Philadel phia and Pittsburgh in former years, but with quick transportation facilities now and ample and even luxurious quarters in the new Capitol there would appear to be no justification whatever for provision for sittings in Philadelphia or elsewhere outside of Harrisburg. Of course, one of the reasons here tofore for the location of bureaus and departments outside of Harrisburg has been the lack of adequate hotel facilities in this city. But that is no longer a justification since definite and final steps have been taken for the erection here of the splen did million - dollar "Penn - Harris" Hotel. So far as this newspaper is con cerned it has always advocated the broadest and most generous treat ment of all questions affecting the port TUESDAY EVENING, of Philadelphia and lta great Institu tions, but it is folly to attempt in any way to minimize the importance of the chosen scat of government where the people have established for all time the various departments which have to do with the working out of the problems that concern the development of an imperial common wealth. DEAN KIRK'S LECTURE IX his letter to the Telegraph yester day falling attention to the lec ture of Dean Kirk of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania Dental School, in Harrishurg Friday evening. State ; Superintendent Nathan C. Schaeffer points out that the noted dental au-" thority, among other j things, will emphasize the importance of dental hygiene in the schools. Just at this time Harrisburg should be particu larly interested in any information it can gather on that subject. We are about to erect a number of school buildings. Jn one of the more cen trally located there should be a well equipped dental laboratory. I-'ew peo ple know that the public schools of the city are now equipped for the examination of children's teeth in a small way. Good work is being done, especially among the little ones whose parents cannot afford to send them to a dentist, but who are sorely in need of attention. It used to be considered sufficient when the public schools taught the "Three R's," but now we know that the physical and the moral side of child nature requires quite as much I attention as the mental. So we have compulsory medical examination, and this has weeded out the unfit from the fit and has brought about the estab lishment of schools for deficients and out-door schools for the tubercular. In addition many children have been saved by school physicians who dis ! covered diseases in incipiency and re ported to their parents. In a more limited way the dental service provided by the board of con trol has been of lasting benefit. The only trouble there is that of in adequacy. The equipment should be sufficient to pass every pupil of the city schools through the hands of the; examining dentists at least once a j year. If Dean Kirk has any definite; information on what other cities are doing along this line, and it is to be j supposed he has for he is a world wide authority on dentistry, we hope he gives it to us at length. One of the big questions which has ! engaged the attention of the directors ; of the proposed million-dollar hotel is i the management. Several interesting ! propositions have been under consid- J eration for three or four weeks, and I these have involved careful investiga tion and discussion. No time is being lost in working out the various mat ters which affect this great and im portant enterprise. SCHWAB AND HIS DREAM BEFORE 800 citizens of the two! Bethlehems Charles M. Schwab i last night expressed in the fol lowing words his dream of uniting by process of law these two communities which will be united shortly by a "hill to hill" bridge which will cost upward of $1,000,000: Boys. I invited you to dine with me to-night for two purposes. First, that we might be good fel lows together for the evening and that I might have opportunity to talk to you of the subject which has been close to my heart for a de cade. You know what that is. It is a dream of a beautiful, prosper ous, thriving city on the banks of I the Lehigh. A city called into be- j ing by consolidation of the two j Bethlehems wherein our citizens have but one thought and that look- j ing to the civic improvement of the community and the improvement of I the citizens. Schwab, the dreamer of great things ! industrially, is also the dreamer of a j great and beautiful city where the men who labor in the great mills of Bethlehem may live happily and con tentedly amid all the surroundings that a model city of the twentieth cen tury can give its people. That he has made his dream come true in the gigantic steel projects that now op erate under the name of Bethlehem augurs well for the realization of his vision for the development of the two towns. Would that there were more Schwabs —men to whom money and the pres tige which goes with its acquisition mean no more than opportunity to widen their sphere of usefulness, to be of greater service to their fellows and to the communities Jn which they live. We need some such right here in Harrisburg. where the money hoarding habit has been a serious set- ' back to the progress of the city. In Harrisburg what has been done byway of civic betterment has been largely at [the hands of those least able in a financial way to bear the burden of such service. Incidentally, is it too much to hope that some day Mr. Schwab will turn his attention to the union of Harris burg and Steelton, to make a city sec ond in importance to very few in Pennsylvania? \ the political interests so actively | concerned in sticking the knife into l each other were only able to realize how little the public is interested in these ambitious performances, they would probably give more attention to harmonizing their activities for the benefit of the organization which they happen to represent. About this time of year those strug gles to keep up the Christmas savings payments begin to appear to have been worth while. "The man who has the goods gets there," remarks the Philadelphia Even ing ledger. Yes, and in these days, the money, too. What has become of the man who used to take a day off to go out and cut his own Christmas tree? "Billy" Sunday, Invading New York, ought to take a jesson from the visit of one Dowie, some years back. There's one thing about the Presi dent's message that every one can praise. He says it will be brief. The provision merchants are great believers in the up-llft movement. When a Feller Needs a Friend • • BRIGGS _ /.. ■ M • A\ - ' /a ' •' T>oeaxc* u "~pc*uvoijtca>vui By the Ex-Committeeman Capitol Hill was all agog to-day over the visit paid to Governor Brum baugh last night by Mayor Smith and Congressman Vare, of Philadelphia, and there was no end of speculation as to the effect it might have on the Speakership. The only statement that could be secured from the Governor on the matter was that the conference was relative to legislation affecting Philadelphia and that the Speakership was referred to only "indirectly." The Governor last night made his first remark on the speakership since Representative Richard J. Baldwin got into the race by saying that he was "awaiting developments." This morn ing he said that he was "still awaiting developments." Further than that the Governor would not speak on the matter. The Governor also declined to go into details as to the proposed legislation affecting Philadelphia. The supposition is that the Gover nor is not disposed to get into a fight over the Speakership unless he has Mayor Smith with him and that he and his visitors did not reach any agreement as to a candidate to op pose Baldwin. The rapid strides made by Baldwin in his campaign have amazed more than one person at the Capitol and the general opinion is that the State administration has been slow in mobilizing its forces. The declaration of the Chester county representatives in favor of Baldwin was a surprise to a good many administration partisans and they are awaiting what developments may come as the result of the policy to be determined upon by the Gov ernor. It is also intimated that Mayor Smith of Philadelphia, is not disposed to become embroiled in any tight over the Speakership as he wants to avoid any ripper legislation. —From the Baldwin headquarters last night came a statement from Rep resentative William T. Ramsey, of Delaware county, announcing the adoption of a resolution by four rep resentatives elect from Bucks and Montgomery counties, comprisihg the Eighth Congressional district. This resolution sets forth that "we rec ognize in Mr. Baldwin a man who has had years of experience in the Legis lature of Pennsylvania and who is fitted in point of mental capacity and ability to discharge the duties of this responsible position In a capable and impartial manner." The representa tives elect to the House who signed this pledge to vote for Baldwin for Speaker are Henry Y. Pickering and Daniel P. Fretz, of Bucks county, and James S. Boyd and I. T. Haldeman.of Montgomery county. —-The Philadelphia Record in a re view of the situation to-day says: "The strength gathered by the Baldwin can didacy and the apparent apathy of the Governor and the Vares toward the speakership election continue to mys tify organization lieutenants. No word has come forth from the Vare camp concerning the speakership beyond an intimation that Baldwin's candidacy would not be acceptable to the down town leaders or their allies. The be lief that some sort of a compromise may be effected which will avert the threatened resumption of the factional warfare during the next session of the Legislature and keep it from breaking out until after the close of the city election next year is growing stronger every day among organization poli ticians." —Pittsburgh papers look for a fight and seem to want It. The Altoona Tribune and other up-State papers seek a short session and no row. —Word was received here last, night of the death of W. B. "Watson, for years an associate judge of Hunting don county and well known to many here. —Voting In saloons is to be barred in I,uzerne county hereafter. —Reports that contributions of cash from Federal officeholders would not be received at Democratic state headquarters are incorrect, it was stated to-day. —-State grangers are plannig an am bitious legislative program when they meet here. The grangers will ask the legislature for many things as part of a plan to extend over several sessions. —Senator H. "W. Schantz, of Lehigh proposes to Introduce a bill, unless there be constitutional objections, to omit the printing of the names of the Presidential electors on the ballot and have a vote for Wilson, Hughes, or as the case may be, count as a vote for all the Presidential electors of the party candidate for whom the vote was cast. This would make a real , short ballot and do away with such HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! a monstrous blanket ballot as the voters had to wrestle with at the last election. It would also greatly facilitate the work of the election boards and be productive of speedier returns. —P. C. Knox led all candidates in Allegheny county in the vote polled on November 7 last, according to offi cial returns completed on Saturday. Knox, who received 77,723 votes, led his competitor for United States Sen ator. Ellis L. Orvls, Democrat, by 37,630. Charles E. Hughes exceeded by 374 4 votes the combined Roose velt and Taft vote cast In 1912, which was 73,839, while President Wilson exceeded the vote cast for himself four years ago by 21,416. The So cialist vote for President was about sixty per cent, less than that cast in 1912, while the Prohibition presiden tial vote increased from 1402 in 1912 to 2052 this year. A Wilkes-Barre dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer says: "In the Seventh district, this city, there are two Representatives. David W. Thomas, who goes back to the House for his third term, is a Penrose sup porter. There Is no doubt as to where lie stands In the line-up. Richard Aston, Representative-elect, is claimed by both sides. The Brumbaugh forces were enthusiastic in their support of Aston. He Is a local optlonist and-be cause of this the Brumbaugh leaders claim he will vote for the Brumbaugh selection. Aston is also a regular Re publican and while the Penrose lead ers expect that he will vote for local option they are also confident that he will vote for their candidate for Speaker." Shorten the Session [Altoona Tribune.] Although the Legislature of Penn sylvania Is not due for over a month, it Is not too soon to express the earn est hope that the majority of the sen ators and representatives have already made up their minds to advocate the shortest session on record. This course will win the approval of their con stituents more generally than almost anything else they could do. Much unnecessary time Is usually wasted at the opening of the sessions. Of course the committees must be ap pointed after the speaker! and other officials of the House have been chosen, but the speaker-elect Is usually a mem ber with experience and It should not take him more than two or three days to select all the committees. At all events on the Monday following the election of the speaker it should be possible to name the committees of both houses. A great deal of time is wasted at the beginning of the sessions. For two or three weeks there is very lit tle effort to get down to working or der, so that the greater part of the month of January has slipped by be fore the organization has been com pleted and the committees organized for business. May it not be possible to expedite matters a little next .Tan pary? Because dilatory methods have prevailed In the past furnishes no argument for their continuance. On the contrary a new departure now will do much to win and retain the in creased confidence of the voters of the Commonwealth. Nor Is there the slightest call for the enactment of a big book of new laws. Some measures must be pass ed. The regular appropriation bills should be promptly Introduced and as promptly enacted. The Governor's pro posed housing bill and the county lo cal option act should receive imme diate consideration. A few other meas ures will doubtless merit attention. But the thousands of Inconsequential measures that will be advocated by this interest or that should receive scant consideration. We have had a surfeit of lawmaking in this State and in the country generally. A very popular step will be a tremendous decrease in acts of the assembly. Gentlemen of the general assembly: Organize promptly; cut your holidays at the beginning of the session to the minimum; instruct your commit tees to get down to business at once and to report promptly all essential measures; do a full day's work at least five days In the week after the com mittees begin to report; waste no time but work hard while you are at it. Then adjourn not later than April 1, 1917, and receive the grateful thanks of your constituents. If you do this the people will esteem you highly for your work's sake.

BOLDT OF THE WALDORF-ASTORIA In the current Issue of the Ameri can Magazine is an appreciation of George C. Boldt, the great hotel gen ius, by Fred. C. Kelly. The following extracts show what manner of man is Boldt: "It is Boldt's theory, confirmed to his own satisfaction many times, that a good executive must be naturally observant. His eyes must be shifting j to different directions, as he walks along, so that, he knows, almost uncon sciously. Just what he has passed. A man with executive talent, says Boldt, should be able to talk to a guest, look ing him right in the face and paying polite attention to what he says, but nevertheless with eyes alert enough to take in what is going on around him, all at the same time. And Boldt demands more or less executive talent of nearly every employe. He makes It plain to all on his pay roll that their Job Is looking after the entire hotel. A man is hired, primarily, for work in one department, but he must keep his eyes open for anything wrong in any other department and report It at the right place. "Boldt believes that a good hotel waiter has an excellent opportunity to learn by obsei*vatlon, and to rise In the world. Boldt himself was once a waiter, and now, besides having vast wealth, he probably has no superior as a hotel man. Many other success ful hotel men were once waiters. They learned human nature, learned the value of never-failing courtesy and, above all. that great hotels are built on the theory that the guest Is always right. "As 1 stated in a previous article in this magazine, Boldt believes that by far the greatest single factor in suc cessful hotel management Is courtesy. He himself owes his present place in the hotel world to the fact that he was once so courteous to William Wal dorf Astor that Astor picked him to take charge of the great hotel ho was planning to build. "The beauty of courtesy." smiles Boldt —he nearly al ways smiles, by the way—"is Its cheap ness- —if you make it yourself." ''And courtesy, Boldt believes, does not consist merely in speaking polite ly to your guests. For Instance, he thinks it is only courtesy that a guest should not have to deal with any hotel employe who is chewing gum, wear ing a toothpick, or smoking. Even though an employe does not deal di-< The Yellow Streak [Philadelphia Evening Bulletin] The yellow streak that appears reg ularly at intervals in a well-defined class of Americans to make patriot ism seem like a delusion and a theme for cynics, has come to the surface once again. Two managers of a New York theater, Traub and Gottman, barred four members of the crew of the United States Hospital ship Solace from seats for which they had paid, merely because the men ap peared in uniform. Traub and Gott man said many of their patrons didn't like to sit with sailors and the piti ful thing is that Traub and Gottman were probably reporting a fact. The uniform of an enlisted man in the American Navy indicates first of all that its wearer renders an honor able service to his country every day of his life. The naval blue is a pre sumptive sign that the man who wears it is fit and " intelligent, and that he has the courage necessary to face danger and discipline. Sailors ashore .are' no more unruly or effer vescent than college undergraduates, yet no one' ever tries to keep a col lege student out of a theater seat be cause he is a college student. The circumstance that invites the fury of anyone in or out of the serv ice is not along in that the recurrent affront la so definitely to the uniform, but that the most persistent Insults to the proudest of services come from cheap-minded frequenters of variety theaters.

NOVEMBER 28, 1916. rectly with guests at all, Boldt will not permit him to chew gum, have a toothpick in his mouth, or smoke while on duty. And there must be no taint of alcoholic refreshment on his breath. If he is about to leave the building, he may light a cigar just before going out the door, but that is the extent of the Indoor smoking priv ilege. "One rule of Boldt's is to set a good example in all things he exacts from others. He himself does not smoke, drink, chew gum or talk loudly while on the job. And he will not take a drink at his own bar. 'The sight of a proprietor standing around drinking with guests,' he ex plains, 'might be suggestive of leisure on his part rather than real efficiency. If I wish to entertain somebody I do it In a dining room in the regular way.' "Boldt has found, by the way, that the falling off of alcoholic drinking in recent years is really astonishing— much more so than Is generally imag ined. At banquets, where formerly six different drinks were served to each guest, now there are frequently only two, probably a little sherry fol lowed by champagne. In order to have plenty, a banquet committee usually arranges for a pint of cham pagne per guest. And always thero are many pints left over. "Early In his hotel experience Boldt discovered that there is no item of courtesy which pleases a guest, much more than simply to be remembered, to be called by name. "The Waldorf-Astoria was not long In successful operation before Boldt's Income was said to be five hundred thousand dollars a year, which made him one of the highest-paid men In the United States. "Hotel men from all over the world seek out Boldt for advice. Com paratively few high-grade hotels are built in this country without the plans having been submitted to Boldt, along with a request for suggestions. Not long ago the head of one of the big gest hotels in London sat in Boldt's otflce telling him of the lavish man ner in which they were equipping their plant. "There seems to be none ready to challenge Boldt's title as one of the greatest hotel men of his time. And yet most of his success is based on i little beyond the application of plain ■ommon senso."

The roads which it is proposed to add to the State highway system from Roaring Branch, which is near the county seat of Lycoming, arc the real Indian trail Just as are some of tho roads in this part of the State the ways which the aborigines followed. The "Susquehanna Trail," lie contends, would be about eight miles shorter and without going up hill and down dale as much as the present road to Elmlra. Of course, the Tioga county contingent does not subscribe to all that Editor Newell says and thinks he overlooks some choice scenery. Mr. Newell has absorbed the legends of the northern tier and it is rich indeed, in the stories of the Indians and of the early settlers. It was through this country that Sullivan marched when he went to chastise the Iroquois after the series of massacres and the line of the pro posed "trail" highway has an interest for us because it was down this way that the famous fighting Indians came who broke the power of the Susque hannocks and who were in turn driven North in years following by the Shawanese who fled up the Susque hanna to escape tho irruptions of the Southern warriors. Indeed, the "Sus quehanna Trail" which will start at Harrisburg and go up the river on the new road which the State' and Pennsylvania Railroad are building between Dauphin and Millersburg, is full of interest to people here. It will be the first North and South highway and will connect Harrisburg with Elmira and those beautiful New York regions of which poets sing, but which are not a whit prettier than sections of our Commonwealth; It will open the way for New York peo ple to come hero to see the Capitol and then go on South to the seat of the national government with side trips to the garden county of Lan caster, the battlefield of Gettysburg and the peach orchards of the Cum berland Valley and the historically in clined can imagine war parties in paint and feathers moving through tho trees on forays or moving north, from hunting grounds Invaded by the white man and his ax and plough. But best of all It will provide an easier, more comfortable way for our North ern tier kinsfolk to come to Harris burg to run the government. • • • Speaking about highways the idea of Governor Brumbaugh to name the State highway linking Lancaster with the Lincoln highway and Harrisburg with the William Penn Highway has met with much favorable comment. The road is an Important and historic one, as the Governor pointed out, and it connects the two great highways running east and west. The Gover nor's idea is likely to be taken up in a short time by motor clubs and signs I erected. • * • Insurance Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil says that he is becoming the champion traveler of Capitol Hill, "t crossed this State about twice and made some side trips last week," said he. "I came here early, had to back track to Pittsburgh on some matters, came here again, then went on to Philadelphia, then back to Pittsburgh and here again," said he. "I am get ting to know Pennsylvania scenery by name." • • • The late Frederic W. Fleitz, -who ' first, came to Harrisburg as a clerk in the House of Representatives, when he was scarcely more than a boy, was one of the first of the champion long distance roll callers. Mr. Fleitz was given the job of calling the roll be cause It had a lot of unusual and long names and other men who were assigned to it fell down. It was passed to him once and to the surprise of everyone he called It off as though It was his daily job. It seems that with Mr. Fleitz's habit of getting to know all that was going on he had studied the roll and tho lay-out of desks and tho faces of the members and when he was signaled to step Into the breach he actually knew the roll bet ter than the man paid to call it. He was kept at It after that and although they used to try and catch him they never succeeded. One time some one remarking on his knowledge of the roll said that it was merely recitation and that the way to test knowledge was to start in the middle. Mr. Fleitz did it and caught, up on the other end. Then the skeptical one averred he could not say it backwards. But he did. • • • Nowhere will Frederic W. Fleitz be more missed than in those Canadian fastnesses where he loved to fish and hobnob with the primitive people of the hamlets where he spent most of his summers. Especially at Bob caygeon on the Kawartha lakes will he be mourned. For twenty years he had been going to this place for mus callonge fishing and he knew every guide and all the promising nooks and crannies of a picturesque region. One summer he spent in a cabin upon a small Island and ho alwayiJ told with interest his experiences with the natives. Like the late C. H. Backen ' stoe, who frequented the same lakes, Mr. Fleitz knew the habits of the game fish of those waters and both lawyers were popular among the people. | WELL KNOWN PEOPLE —Congressman-elect O. D.
