FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER I It is almost as presumptuous to think that you can do nothing as to think you can do everything. —PHlLLlPS BROOKS. HAPPY DAY IX)R THRIFTY ONES THIS is a happy day for the thrifty ones of the Telegraph Family. They are on the eve of the final payment for their savings for 1916. On Monday they will prepare to de clare a dividend that will vary from $25 to S3OO, according to the number of shares they hold, and will start another year as hopefully as they began that now drawing to a close. The Telegraph Employes' Associa tion is not connected with the Tele graph Printing Company in any way, save that to qualify for membership one must be an employe of the com pany. From highest to lowest all are eligible and all have a share in the management of the association's af fairs. It is a little banking associa tion all of Itself. And the most significant fact In connection with it Is that the savings Increase yearly even more rapidly than the working force. This movement of the Telegraph Employes' Association is in accord with activities of concerns everywhere, ■which are doing more and more to encourage habits of thrift among their employes. Tiny have found that the man who is thrifty is, as a rule, the best workman. His habits are steadier, he has greater freedom from worry, and he is more to be depended upon than the man who is constantly hard up and In mental distress be cause of Improvident habits. Four years ago a certain American manufacturing concern encouraged Its employes to pool their savings in a building and loan plan. As a result these factory men have laid aside $400,000 during the period and more than 160 homes have been built with the savings. What a tribute to the great virtue of thrift. Another concern, which is located in Chicago, recently inaugurated a profit-sharing plan that will provide a permanent pension to those em ployes who continue in faithful em ployment. Five per cent, of the an- 1 nual profits of the concern is to be distributed among the employes who participate in the profit-sharing fund. Any employe may deposit with the company 5 per cent, of his annual pay, providing this sum does not ex ceed $l5O. Participation In the earn ings of the company will be based on the amount of pay deposited by the employe. Deposits are made with a board which consists of an equal num ber of the members of the corporate organization and employes. This year more than one-half million dollars will be disbursed among employes who, through habits of thrift, have earned their right to participate therein. As we are on the threshold of a new year, It is an excellent time for employers of labor to give thought to plans for helping their workmen acquire thrifty habits. In this con nection, we are reminded of a statement made by the late James J. Hill, who said; "Thrift is not a virtue of to-morrow, but of to-day. The young man who puts off until he is earning a larger income In the effort to save and accumulate is pretty sure never to begin, unless under the pres sure of misfortune. It is literally true that only beginning is difficult." The possibility for saving among Harrisburg people is shown by the an nouncement of local banks that more than $1,000,000 will be paid' out by their Christmas clubs for the present year. And now for the mangled remains! "HAVING IT OUT" NOT O long ago when Johnny got the toothache he would conceal It for weeks at a time, preferring the agony of secret suffering to the awful tortures Incident to "having it out." In those days, now happily be yond recall, having a tooth pulled was the only remedy for toothache, and extracting a tooth under the methods that then prevailed was second only in bloodthirsty savagery to the ancient and honorable Aztec custom of tearing the beating heart from the breast of a living human sacrifice. It happened somewhat like this: The toothache became unbearable—at least for the remainder of the family —and the doctor was summoned. There were no dentists In those days outside the very largest cities, and very few even there. The doctor came. Usually he was a large man—a very large man, indeed, one that would have made the average "White Hope" FRIDAY EVENING, * KAKRISBURG t&tj&Sb TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 1, 1916. of theJohnsonl&n championship period look like a lightweight champion trained below requirements. His ar rival was a signal for the tooth to stop aching. Just like that, "bing," and the pain was gone. Johnny related this happy fact to his mother, who turned a deaf ear. Fearfully he related the glad tidings to the doctor. He pounded his cheek to show how good it felt. But did that fiend in human form mean to be cheated of his helpless prey? Not if he knew it! First he looked wisely into Johnny's open mouth. Next he poked the sore molar with a pudgy finger until Johnny yelled In agony. After that yell, of course, there could be but one i decision—"it must come out." The picture that follows is almost too grue some for memory's halls, but there it hangs in all its frightful postures and colors. You can see it for yourself— Johnny "spread-eagled" on the sitting room floor begging his torturers to de sist; mother tearfully holding down one arm, father wrathfully engaged in keeping down the other with his left hand and Johnny's head with his right, big brothers none too sympathetically wrestling with his legs and feet, the baby yelling his life away from a place of refuge under a nearby table, and the j doctor, with a big pair of pincers in his hand—called forceps for polite ness' sake —prodding around the in terior of Johnny's mouth. Finally, with his knee on Johnny's chest, the doctor gave an awful yank, something flew across the room and landed be | hind a mirror—and It was out. A few days later Johnny boasted about the experience and for weeks he carried the extracted molar around as a proof of his story. But times have changed, and we are now invited to hear a world-renowned dental expert tell us how to save our teeth Instead of having them pulled and the effects defective teeth have upon our health. The lecture ought to be worth while. No science has made so marked advancement in re cent years as has dentistry. It has come upon us so suddenly that we are unacquainted with its newly-developed wonders. That football battle of yesterday left a bitter taste in nobody's mouth, and provided "glory enough for all." "I'ORK" IT looks as if there might be "some thing doing" at the thirteenth an nual convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, which is to meet in Washington on Decem ber 6-8, for the president of the con gress, Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana, announces that anyone who really knows anything about "pork" will be given a chance to tell It. But there has been such a vast amount of loose talk on the subject that the accent la to be placed on the "know." No one has yet been found who will admit that there is any "pork" In his own pet project; It is always somewhere else and usually a long way oft. So, If a man from Maine criticises a project in Cali fornia, or a man from Minnesota jumps on a waterway in Texas, he will be expected to tell just how he comes to know so much about things two or three thousand miles away from where he lives. Speakers on this question will be ex pected not to Indulge in loose talk or general charges, but to get right down to the facts. If anyone knows that a project has no merit, but that the appropriation for it was secured solely to promote the political fortunes of some senator or representative, or be cause some commercial organization wanted to boom local business with government funds, he will be given an opportunity to publicly name the man or the community that has raided the public treasury for private gain. Com mon fairness requires that if any man, or community, or project, is attacked, an opportunity shall be given for de fense and refutation, and this will, of course, be done. It looks as If the resulting discus sion might be well worth hearing. Certainly, there is ample opportunity for criticism. It all depends upon the courage of the delegates who attend. Unfortunately for a successful accept ance of the challenge of the river and harbors committee, the men from Pennsylvania are all too unconversant with the details of reckless Southern expenditures. It is to be hoped that somebody well acquainted with the facts will "speak right out in meetin'." What a grand thing if Thanksgiving Included Friday and Saturday, too. But cheer up, lads, two days for Christmas this year. PARTISANSHIP ABOVE SERVICE EDWIN F. SWEET, of Michigan, has been appointed Assistant Secretary of Commerce. This is Mr. Sweet's second round in this job. He was drafted by the Democrats of Michigan to run for Governor after the man nominated in their primary had positively refused to make the race. Mr. Sweet resigned his place In the Department of Commerce, but It was accommodatingly kept open for him and he now returns to it. Whether the public service has suf fered because of Mr. Sweet's absence for some months in a little journey Into the world of politics is probably a proper subject for discussion, es j peclally as his chief. Secretary Red f Held, has not been inactive In the Wil son campaign. It is evident that the Democrats will not lack for candidates for important office so long as the ad ministration is willing to order men out from the departments to fill up the party ticket. Forgive us if we laugh at the dealer who held his dressed turkeys for fifty cents a pound—and took them home uu sold. Judging from the expenditures of some of the hunters who went out to day, deer meat Is going to be dear meat. Villa la one of those disreputable creatures who Is not "too proud to tight."

' AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING By BRIGGS WHEN IT'S "^°watchu2G Y S— "To WALL T>oea*c* u c p.KKOi^taa>tta | By the Ex-Committee man Concensus of opinion among the newspapers and those who follow politics in the State is that the fight for the speakership between the State administration and Penrose forces will not end with the selection by the Re publican caucus but will run on through the session and cause it to be more or less of a turmoil. Men who have been striving for a short session and an agreement upon an adjourn ment date at the start now fear that chances of a short business-like gen eral assembly have gone glimmering and that the ruction bred of the light over the speakership will mean in vestigations of departments and re fusals to confirm some of the Gover nor's appointments. No compromise appears to be In sight and newspapers in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh say that there will be an open breach. Some charges that the administration people will try to keep men out of the caucus in the event that they find they are short votes were denied by some of the brigadier generals of the Governor's forces to-day. The administration people claim that they have a majority of the Re publican caucus "sewed up," but give no figures and name no names, saying it is too early. Taking their cue from Senator Penrose the captains of his companies say that they have at least 100 votes pledged to Baldwin. —Both Representatives Richard J. Baldwin and Edwin R. Cox, the rivals for the speakership, are out touring the State. Mr. Cox is to be helped in every county by the administration men and it is intimated pretty broad ly at the Capitol that when men fail to deliver they can expect scant con sideration and that those who fall down need not come around. —The Philadelphia Record to-day says that Mayor SmiA holds the key in Philadelphia and rffearks that de spite the claims of rare people the mayor has not committed himself, while the Philadelphia North Amer ican declares Cox will have strength not suspected. ■ —The Philadelphia Press says that Cox's campaign is taking shape and that it looks well, while the Pitts burgh Gazette-Times expresses some doubts about Cox being as strong as claimed even with the Governor be hind him. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that a canvass shows a strong trend to Baldwin and gives him Schuylkill county. Wilkes-Barre pa pers Intimate that the delegation will be divided with Baldwin having the better of it. —A Pittsburgh dispatch to - day says: "Seven of Allegheny county's twenty-four members of the next As sembly are claimed for Edwin R. Cox, of Philadelphia, for Speaker, as a re sult of the activities here the last sev eral days in behalf of Mr. Cox by Pub lic Service Commissioner W. A. Magee. The seven Cox votes here, if the claims are borne out, will include three "wet" members, headed by- Daniel A. Malie, of the Seventh Legis lative district, who came out for Cox in a statement to-day. Four of the seven, elected on "dry" tickets and for Cox, naturally, are J. W. Vlckerman, Nelson McVlcar, Dr. J. R. Wylle and Thomas Ross. The Penrose forces headed by Mayor Armstrong, Max G. Leslie and Coroner Jamison, will not concede more than five votes for Cox out of the twenty-four. They are lining up their supporters for Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware, for Speaker. —Counties which do not file their officta.l returns of the vote cast by their resident voters and their soldiers hy to-morrow morning will be asked by telegraph to hurry their reports to tlie department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. About two-thirds of the counties In the State have filed their complete returns and several counties whose returns were sent back for Inclusion of the soldier vote have failed to file again. They are holding up the official count. It is expected that the official count will be finished In less than a week. The State-wide vote is being tabulated on seven big tables as rapidly as received and as soon as the last counties are entered the counting will be started. Two counts will be made so that the results will check up. When the officials re sults are known the Governor will Issue the usual proclamations. Tribute to Senator Hollis Hollis for the Cabinet, eh?

Diplomatic Illness [Philadelphia Public Ledger.] If Under Secretary of Foreign Af fairs Zimmerman has been appointed head of the German Foreign Office, there is no broad political significance ; In Von Jagow's diplomatic (Illness. For both Zimmerman and Von Jagow are supporters of the Chancellor and ad vocates of peace byway of London an<t at the expense of Russia. Zimmerman, no less than Von Jagow, considers Russia Germany's Im placable enemy and hopes that an un derstanding with England, France and the United States may rise in the de cade after the war. The change at the Wilhelmstrasse is one of personality rather than policy. Von Jagow's policy from the day he took the portfolio of foreign affairs until the war was. In his own words, "to make friends with Great Britain, and then, through Great Britain, to get closer to France." The war, as he said to Sir Edward Goschen, meant "the crumbling of his entire policy." Since then his opponents have been numer ous. But he has never deserted his ante-bellum belief that the future of Germany lies In co-operation with the liberal powers of the West, rather than in a league with Russia and Japan. The weakness of hla position lay In the fact that many who agreed with him In this basic conviction thought that he was not strong enough to carry through the policy.

Right Age To Marry Professor Fisher includes alcohol among poisons which must not be al lowed to enter the body. "Alcohol is not a real brain stimu lant," Professor Fisher said, "but acts by narrowing the field of conscious ness. The .man who wakes up under alcohol is really going to sleep, as far as his judgment and reason are con cerned. "Under moderate doses muscular ef ficiency is at first increased a little and then lowered, the total effect being a loss in working power." "You have a good deal to say about eugenics in 'How to Live,' " I remind ed the advocate of life extension. "At what age do you think it most desir able to marry?" "Between 25 and 30, when the pe riod of growth has been attained," Professor Fisher replied. "I believe that as soon as men and women ac quire the knowledge that their choice of a mate will determine whether or not their physical and mental faults and virtues will reappear in children they will feel a sacred responsibility toward marriage." Here are some of the rules for the selection of a mate put forth by the Life Extension Institute: "Learn to analyze individuals into their inheritable traits—physical, mental and mofal. "Differentiate between socially noble and ignoble traits, between social and educational veneer and sterling in herent capacity. "Do not expect physical, mental and moral perfection in any one individual, but look for a majority of sterling traits. "Join your family line t6 one which is strong in respect to the traits in which yours is weak." In addition to the rules of health and of eugenics. Professor Fisher told me, people who want to live long should avoid the hurry habit; should cultivate a religion of healthy mtnded ness; should learn to control their at tention, should moderate their de sires and should cultivate the habit of happiness.

"As a necessary preliminary to the sending of the Christmas ship, ar rangements are being made for col lections in the churches of the entire country Thanksgiving Day, the re ceipts of which will be used in com pleting the cargo.

Bmttttg (Et|al "I would like to Jar Harrlsburg with a suggestion,'- said R man who has visited practically every State capital east of the Mississippi and some of those to the west of It while here the other day. This man has been in Har rlsburg: a number of times and has watched the city progress in many ways, being much impressed by the treatment of the river front and the beginning of the park system. "Prob ably you people are not aware of what the Improvement of the Capitol Park M will call for from you," was his remark. "It will require the completion of your river front scheme, the extension of your park system and a general spruc ing up of your aichitecture, especially in that part of the city which will contain the State park. The expendi ture the State will make on Its park will call for much from Harrisburg; in fact, It will cost the city more in the end, as it. must provide a setting and do its share. And, while you are about it. why don't you make the names of some of the streets here more in line with your standing as a State capital? lou have State street, and that's about all. It is a line street, well conceived and worth while. But why don't you call your Front street Pennsylvania avenue or Susquehanna boulevard — something more pertaining to your rank than commonplace Front street? llaybe you Harrisburgers have a ven eration for the name, but think of tho appropriateness of something else. And, are you going to still call Third street the highway which, widened and beautified, will skirt the Capitol Park on the west? Why not Com monwealth avenue? Then there is Second street, which has a name you will find in thousands of towns in this country, but not many of which have such a long, well-developed thorough fare. Why not call that Penn street? ou say it would not do because tho city has a scheme of numbered streets. Well, I have looked at your map and between Fourth and Tenth it's pretty hard to find them anyhow, and you have already named one numbered street after a famous Harrlsburger, Simon Cameron. So why can't you change some more and take appro priate names? Perhaps it does inter fere with your traditional names, but go to other capitals and note the street names. They signify something in tho history of the States in which they are located and people remember theni better than if they were mere num bers. And say, Mr. Newspaperman, Just remember that you let Philadel phia take from right under your nose a plan for naming streets after tho counties and the governors of vour State which ought to have been done by the Capital City. It's all right for you to worship your city and to boost it all you can and whenever you can, but your system of street, names out side of some you have named for In dian tribes and counties near here and men who sat up at night to make your town years ago makes me tired. You took Philadelphia's plan of 200 years ago, but you used numbers instead of history. Get some of that imagination that lias made your city so progressive in material things and your river front so beautiful and put it into your grid iron of streets." The caustic remarks of the visitor to Harrisburpf come rather pat just now when there have been added to the city some properties bearing linos of streets ornamented with such relics of royalist days in Pennsylvania as Duke and Prince. When it comes down to street nomenclature, Steelton thought more of the fathers than this city, because it has Franklin, Lincoln, Adams and some others which Harris burgr has not.
