TOO MANY LAWS IN his speech at the opening of the Legislature yesterday Lieutenant- Governor McClain again emplia- Bized the demand of the people for a let-up in legislation. Governor Brum baugh also suggested in his message that the people have had a redundancy of laws of every sort. Governor Brumbaugh's friend, the retiring chief executive of Ohio, also declared in his farewell remarks to the Legislature that his short public career had con vinced him that our neighboring State is over-officered and over-inspected. These observations are simply Indic ative of a widespread popular senti ment. Newspapers which have given any consideration to the matter at all realize how much legislation has been overdone in this country. Starting at Washington its ramifications have ex tended to every corner of the nation. Laws upon laws—restrictive, inquisi torial, unnecessary have been im posed upon the people by the various legislative asemblies to the point of nausea. As has been indicated in this newspaper over and over again a real service will have been performed in our own Commonwealth when the Legislature devotes more attention to the repeal of useless laws and the adoption of sane and sensible meas ures designed for the benefit and -wel fare of the people. Political controversy has been large ly responsible for increasing laws and the log rolling methods which have too long characterized the work of the Legislature have led to enactment of measures which should never have had serious consideration. Experienced members of the Senate and House should give thought to a suppression of those bills which cumber the cal endars at every session of the gen eral assembly. Many of these are the sheerest clap-trap arid those who are familiar with the legislative game ought to put a quietus on such bills at Bight. ''Partisan bigotry and factional bit terness should have no place in the performance of our duties," declared the Lieutenant-Governor, and he con cluded with' the suggestion that "we should be Pennsylvanians for Penn sylvania." That is precisely the thought of the average citizen and we trust the Legislature will return to its duties, take up its work in a sensible way, ignore all political trickery and controversy and as expeditously as possible do the work for which the people have sent the lawmakers here. With the conference between the di rectors of the Harrisburg Hotel Com pany, this afternoon, and the architects who are collaborating on the plans for the handsome structure which will ornament the corner at Third and Wal nut streets, definite action is expected with regard to the second and most im portant step in this Interesting com munity undertaking. JOHN BARLEYCORN AGAIN JOHN BARLEYCORN is at his old tricks. Chief of Detectives "William L. Windsor, Jr., calling attention to the crime wave that swept Harrisburg last Kear, explains the very large number of arrests, nearly one thousand more than the year previous, by saying that in nearly every instance the men and women who fell Into the hands of the police "were drunk or had been drink ing." It Is a fresh illustration of the old truth that liquor and crime go hand )n hand, > We are gravely told by opponents of prohibition that the abolition of the liquor trade, with Its high licenses, would mean Increased taxation for the people, but it Is a safe wager that the 3,857 arrests made by the police of the city last year exceeded In expense to the public far more than is paid yearly by all the liquor license hold ers of both city and county, court coats, keep of prisoners, witness foes and other incidentals included, And these arrests do not take in those made by constables throughout city and county, Rum, says the chief of detectives, was the chief cause of crime In Har risburg last year. Even at a financial profit this -would be expensive, but when the taxpayers are obliged to foot the bills for court proceedings and prison-keep, run up by victims of the booze habit, the condition be comes well nigh intolerable.. Every temperate man and woman In the city is assessed to help pay these drink bills, and it is little wonder that, aside item, the moral issue# involved, the WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURO TELEGRAPH JANUARY 3, 1917.

There is just one cure for the condition and that is to out law the trade in alcoholics. Nothing more significant of the gen eral state of mind of the people of the United States has been developed dur ing tho last days of the old year and the opening days of the new than tho comment of trade leaders and com mercial authorities upon the signs of the time hero and abroad, It Is a com' nion remark of all these experts that there is coming everywhere a better realization of the relations of com munities and Individuals one to the other throughout tho world. Here and there the conviction is forced home that while the peoples of Europe are experiencing the bitterness of death i and disaster they are also awaking to I the beneficent results of great experi ences "demanding and developing cour age, endurance, steadfast'ie s, self denial and high purposes." STATE AID FOR BOROUGHS GOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH'S rec ommendation that the legisla ture legalize State aid for the construction of improved roads through boroughs on the lines of the State highways is timely and, no doubt, will be favorably received by a majority of the members. Such a law would not only meet an urgent need, but would be in the interests of justice as well. Until lack of funds prompted the late State Highway Commissioner Cunningham to question the legality , of granting State money for the im | provement of State highways through boroughs, resulting in an adverse i opinion by the Attorney General's Department, scores of boroughs had received such assistance. Camp Hill, Penbrook and other nearby towns prepared to pave streets under this provision and their main highways have remained In bad condition ever since State aid was withdrawal, much x to the disgust of tourists. Nobody has ever questioned the right of the State to construct and maintain a highway entirely at its own expense through a township, where the returns from taxes are nat urally small. That being accepted, it is difficult to understand why the Oommonwealth should not pay at least a part of the expense of improv ing State highways through boroughs, where the people pay more In the way of taxes than in the country districts, especially since the road through the borough is just as much a part of the State highway system as that travers ing rural localities. Any attempt at the session of the Legislature this year to Increase de partments will likely have little en couragement from those In control. Some nice little schemes to provide comfortable places for ambitious Indi viduals are said to have been nipped in the bud, BACK AT THE BEGINNING PRESIDENT WIESON finds himself to-day back precisely where he started with the Mexican situ ation following Villa's raid on Colum bus, Carranza has won in the long drawn out negotiations and the United States army Is to be withdrawn from Mexico without having attained the object of its entry, which was to have been "Villa, dead or alive.'' Carranza has played fast and loose with the United States government. He has blocked every effort ef General Pershing- to capture Villa and has en forced liis demands limiting American troop movements South pf the border by massacrelng a whole dataohment of United States soldiers. The border Is more in danger of bandit attack than It was before the troops were sent Into Mexico and tho power of Carranza as a national dictator is gradually on the wane. The United States neither has as sisted Mexico out of its troubles nor put anybody else in the way of per forming that task. We have accom plished nothing but the completion of our own national discredit the loss of many American lives and the prolongation of anarchy in the neighboring republic. The next step in the administration's disastrous Mexican policy ' will be watched with interest, bordering on dismay. Ireland, a leader of one of the revolu. tionary societies says, is on the verge of another outbreak, thereby proving that an Irishman would sooner be in a hopeless fight than at peace. There are Indications that the legis lators will have a chance to hear how sweetly the bluebirds sing in Harris burg in springtime. Just about the time a fellow gets used to writing it 1916, they go and change is. We hope that special session talk at Washington isn't contagious. The Mother-Manager In the clamor and confusion over the high prices we pause to pay honor where honor is due. We refer to the little woman, with a family of four or five, who keeps her family together and the wolf way from the door on sls a week. Efficiency engineers and high sala ried financial experts should take off their hats to the business manager of the sls a week home. She buys the groceries and prepares the meals, clothes the Vliildren and sends them to school, keeps herself and her hus band looking respectable, pays the doctor bills and guards the family against debt. No elaborately planned budget shows where each penny should go, nor what to buy and what not to buy. Mother has it all in her head and she can tell, barring accidents, just where the family will be financially a year from date. • The country is not oversupplied with this type of woman. The homes which claim one are getting scarcer. Pity should be given to the family that lacks a manager, whore a dollar has no staple value, but only passes as a certain means to an indefinite end. The mother-manager is the heroine of the modern home.—From the Des Moines Capital. House That Is Different The carpenters and masons were at work and under their quick, skillful hands lumber and stone became a house. Passers by saw in the structure onlv a dwelling place, an attractive lit tle "bungalow, to be sure, but no dif ferent from thousands of other struc tures of its kind. Then one <lay an old woman, her fine cloak contrasting strangely with her tired face and her toil worn hands, came to note the pro gress of the artisans. With her was a young woman, and everyone who saw her said that her face was so familiar. Who was she? Hadn't her pitfture often appeared in newspapers and magazines? Finally someone remembered and told someone else about it. The girl was one of a number of children. Her parents were poor. She went to work for a pittance while she was still a child. It was evi dent that she had dramatic ability and one day she was given a chance to show what she could do. She made her dreams come true. She rose in her pro fession. Her ability was recognized and rewarded. And then the first thing she did was to build for her mother a comfortable home. She admitted that she was Inordinately proud of the house, and everyone declared that she had every right to be. And they all looked at the house with new under standing, realizing that It was more than "an attractive bungalow, but no different from others of Its kind." From the Milwaukee Journal, In Need of Prayer In the Temple Church (near the law court) in ljondon, on the Sunday after our election, the Master of the Temple, when he had finished his sermon, paus ed and said to his astonished congrega tion that since it appeared to be quite certain that Doctor Wilson had been elected President of the United State* and so seemed certain to be called to take part In the peace negotiations which would befall during the next four years, "I would ask you to pray for him for n few moments, * that he may have the divine guidance in all that he may do." Surely that showed a wise spirit in the Master of the Temple. Here, now, is Lloyd-George, chosen to cure the shortcomings of England, to strengthen her thews and extend her reach and help her to win a great peace that will bring new hope to a battered world, It Is a load of Atlas that rests on the little Welshman's shoulders.

Notwith standing a very manifest desire on the part of many people throughout the state to fix a date for early ad journment, there is slim prospect of any time being set for three months at least, and it is possible that not only will the Legislature pass the appro priation bills earlier than usual and take a recess while the Governor is acting upon them, but that there will be numerous investigations started and the lawmakers called back In the fall to hear reports. The men who van quished the Governor and his allies seem determined not to give the ad minstration element any more #ec ognition than they would have gotten themselves in the event of defeat and to follow the example of John R. K. Scott in the session of 1913 when he heckled the Tener administration for weeks. If the Vare-Brumbaugh-Magec forces had won, tlie Penrose people say, they would have had short shrift, and as the senior senator got a victory in the face of the state and Philadel- P administrations, organized labors legislative committees and many officeholders and infiuential men, the chances are that the conquered will have troubles of their own —At present the plan of the Penrose people is to go ahead and prepare a legislative program, get the commit tees and the offices filled and attend to other details of a general plan which will continue throughout the session and be arranged to meet any eventualities. While this is being done the State administration will be watched to see if it tries to start any thing. if it does, the plans will be made to meet it accordingly. —lt is not tho intention of the vic tors in yesterday's light to inaugurate any impeachment proceedings against the Governor in spite of the demands of some zealous partisans. Even the Penrose people think that things have gone far enough in that line, but they win keep the precedents and procedure nandy in rase it becomes necessary to resort to severe measures. —Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, will not faro so well in the general opinion. The mayor is not considered by the Penrose people to have played the snme exactly as he promised, al though his friends say that lie stayed out of the fight. The mayor will be f f ce w,th somo legislation which he does not want. It is not improbable that some of the men who come to the legislative halls year after year to lobby for or against bills in behalf of organizations and who were floodmasters in the tor rents of abuse which were directed against Speaker Baldwin will find lib erties clipped. These men were aligned with the State administration and their attacks on Baldwin, accord ing to the Penrose leaders, were vicious and sent out from the Cox j headquarters. —Speaker Baldwin before leaving the city declared that ho was In favor of more money for schools and for good roads, together with other legis lation, remarking that he was favor able to humane legislation notwith standing all that had been said about him, but he was not accustomed lo dealing In generalities. The Speaker hus received many requests for com mittee assignments already and some of the men who were noisiest in oppo sition to him have not shown modesty in asking for good places. The Speaker asked that all members send lilni their preferences and they are doing it, those who fought Baldwin being among the men who wish nice berths. —James F. Woodward, of Allegheny, will be chairman of the House appro priations committee and some of the men who were talked of for chairman ships before the ballot on Speaker occurred in the Monday caucus will not get what they thought. Eleventh hour switching from Baldwin will mar some legislative hopes, —The long recess arranged, which will bring the legislators back to Ilnr rlsburg on January 22, will enable the whole situation to be gone over cnre fully, and it is even possible that some semblance of harmony may be reached. The organization of the llo:-'c was remarkably serene after the bitter contest and there are some hopes based on it. —Senator J. P. McNichol. backer of Baldwin, treated Senator E. H. Vare, leader of the Cox campaign, to a. free chair In a parlor car to Pliila- I Wltft tbrtf politics I SERVES CITY AND HENRY M. WAXTE, city manager of Dayton, Ohio, writes the cor- respondent of the Kansas City Star from Dayton, is not the kind of business man who decorates his otilce walls with mottoes: "Do it now," or "This is my busy day." But on the wall of his outer office, the room in the city hall to which the people of Dayton have learned to bring their troubles in the three years they have lived under the commission manager style of city rule, hangs a blackboard. Now and then, suggestions which Mr. Waite would bring to the attention of city hall employes are chalked upon this board. To-day's suggestion reads: : Abraham Lincoln said: : : "I like to see a man proud of : : the place in which he lives. : : "I like to see a man so live : : tl.at the place will be proud of : : hini." : : , : Serve City, Xot Politicians Right there, one may get a glimpse into the municipal program of Day ton, at least so l'ar as it can be writ ten by Mr. Waite and the five city commissioners under whom he serves. They are trying to make Dayton proud of them, proud of its entire corps of city employes, by giving the town the very best in efficient service, in pub lic comforts and public safety. The only man thfey are not attempting to serve is the politician. For him they give not a thought. And the politicians? They are lin ing up "to put Waite out of office." Next fall Dayton elects three of its' Ave commissioners. The "boys" who J once controlled Dayton are promising themselves, if they can elect a ma-1 jority of the commissioners, they will l see to it a city manager is elected by the commissioners who can be de pended upon to reopen the political "pie counter." One day this week a reporter for The Star was in Mr. Waite's office when one of the Dayton politicians came in. "From Kansas City, eh." he said. "Know my friend Mr. —?" he asked, referring to one of the Kansas City "bosses." differences the two men are personal friends of long standing. —The Democrats very kindly took the job of "Investigating" off the hands of the Penrose people yesterday and some were wondering to-day why they had sci blithely undertaken the task. It was' largely a piece of Democratic strategy and a scheme to beat someone to It, but the Democrats are out on an island and there is no boat to get them to shore just now. —Senator Penrose said just before leaving for Washington that he would be glad to help in an investigation and Attorney General Brown said he would help too, and so will other officials. —Governor Brumbaugh will not be in a rush about sending his appoint ments to the Senate for confirmation and he may wait until the very last day, although such a course would irri tate many senators. Indications are that there will be rough sledding for Insurance Commissioner O'Neil, gen erally; Secretary of Agriculture Pat ton, who irritated the Penrose people and after all produced only one vote for Cox in lits whole congressional dis trict: Chief of Mines James E. Rod erick, who bas not satisfied either side; Compensation Commissioners Harry A. Mackey and James H. Leech and some others, Including men who may be named to succeed Messrs. Pom ero.v, Rambo, Breltinger and Smith. If there is a disposition to hold up ap pointments before he gets out of the Senate, Auditor General-elect Charles A. Snyder says he will be heard from. —When he stepped on the train for Washington last night Senator Pen rose said: "I think we have had enough of verbal bombardments for the present, night's Republican caucus and to-day's developments in the Legislature speak for themselves. "We are prepared, however," he said, "when occasion calls for it, to bring forward our heavy guns upon very short notice." —Snyder county commissioners have selected P. 8. Ritte.' for sealer of weights and measure* and tlxed his salary at 1,000 a year. This was one of the few counties In the state which had not acted in appointment of a sealer and there were numerous appll. cants. —lfl. Lowry Humes, former member and United States district attorney for Western Pennsylvania, said last night that he expected to spend unite a little • iine in Hurrisburg and that as soon us he got the brewers caWs out of the way he would get into action on QemncrHtie legislation. —Reuben leaner has been elected York county's sealer of weights and measures. —Judge Bouton, of McKean Bounty who was here for the organiaation the Legislature, U said tu hftyg pee# Then he went into a tirade against the city manager plan. It was no good, he said. It was undemocratic, and so on. Mr. Waite laughed. "Go to it," he said to the politician, and to the reporter: "There, I told you I wanted you to hear both sides of our story here." The commissioners' door is never closed, as doors have a way of clos ing in some city halls. Even on Mon day afternoons when the city man ager and the commissioners hold their Informal weekly conferences at which all kinds of matters of policy and ad ministration are discussed, there are no executive sessions. "The only difficulty I have is to get the newspaper men to attend these meetings," said Mr. Waite's secretary. "If I do not prove to you in a year's time I am worth $12,000 a year you will not have to ask me to resign, I'll step down and out of my accord, but I am going to make good," Mr. Waite told Dayton when he accepted the managership of their city. That was three years ago. He has not had to resign. There has never been a real suggestion he should resign, although the people possess the recall. Manager Form Best Yet Mr. Waite docs not hanker after publicity. If he has the time, and usually he has not, he likes to sit and "visit," but he does not care to be interviewed. He is willing enough to point out the advantages of the man agerial plan, but he prefers to have some resident of Dayton tell of the things which have been accomplish ed under his administration. Mr. Waite believes the city man ager form of government is the near est approach yet attempted to the ideal city government. But he does not say it is ideal. Readers of the Star will remember he said if a boss got hold of the city inandger form of government he would have "a beauti ful time," but would not last long be cause he could not shift the responsi bility. Under the aldermanic system the mayor can put the responsibility on the council and the council can shift it back to the mayor, or as in Kansas City, to one of the city boards. "Cities," air. Waite has said, "will be governed precisely as well as the citizens deserve and desire." regarded as appellate court timber by the state administration for a time —The Philadelphia Public Ledger has turned from its denunciation of the Republican contest to making at tacks upon the Governor because of the Oliver check. —Senator T. L. Eyre, of Chester, was given a big tiorat horseshoe yes terday by members of Republican clubs of West Chester. —Congressman Beales, of Gettys burg, represents his constituency in a dual capacity.

KM De Wiße ~~ nl Subway? ©mting Ctttjat "Give us two weeks more of freezing: weather nnd we will have every Ice house In Central Pennsylvania filled to the roof," said a well known Ice man yesterday. The Ice Is from eight to ten Inches thick on most of the cut ting- ponds, those in the mountain regions being in prime cutting condi tion and getting heavier instead of thinner. Every effort is being made to harvest the very largest amount possible before a thaw spoils the ice. Many people suppose that ice cutting would be shirked by the average workman," he continued, "but that is not the case. A lot of them look upon a period of ice cutting as a sort of camping-out picnic. To be sure the work is hard and the hours necessar ily long, but the ice companies all take the best of care of their cutters. All of them have well equipped bunk houses and warm quarters where the men assemble In the evening and tell stories and recite experiences on the ice. The best of good, wholesome food is provided, for the men have big ap petites and must be well nourished to protect them from cold." Ed. S. Herman, chairman of the City Planning Commission, and a well known businessman, who last even ing entertained the Harrisburg Ro tary Club at his wholesale tobacco house in Market Square, is one of the most enthusiastic Rotarians anywhere. "It's a good thing for the men of any , community to get together, rub elbows and exchange ideas," said he last evening. "The Rotary club has been a good influence in the community, and one of its greatest services has been that It has Introduced many men to each other in a way that would not have been possible in any other way. When I go away the first thing I tuck away on an inside pocket is my Rotary club membership card." • * The graduates and former students of State College have just issued a handsomely bound book descriptive of the activities of the institution,which is to be a plea for support in the effort now being made to procure Increases in State appropriations to the college. An estimate of what Penn State needs in the way of permanent equipment is given, the total amounting to $2,553,- 000. Under present conditions the an nual requirement 0f the college for maintenance alone is approximately $750,000. To meet this the only guar anteed Income the college has is that coming from the National government under the land grants act which amounts to SBO,OOO and a small income from student fees which approximates $70,000, or a total income of $150,000, the balance of $600,000 being the sum for which the college must look to the State, and the funds for build ings and permanent equipment must come from the same source. The present handicaps to progress and the ever-present uncertainties under which it operates are due to the fact that there is no definite provision by the Commonwealth for a specific, de pendable and adequate income for maintenance and development. The alumni are interested in procuring from the State a definite annual in come either upon the basis of a speci fic tax or by set appropriation per stu dent for maintenance and building de velopment. • • • The new system of filing records and transcriptions inaugurated by County Recorder James E. Lcntz IF already meeting with more general approval among the members of the Dauphin county bar. Attorney W. 11. Musser was one of the lawyers who heartily commended the plan the other day. "The method of searching a title is made so much more convenient and means so much in saving of time," he explained. "For instance, under the old system one had to look through practically the entire index to find a name. Take the name 'Wil liard,' for example; under the old system one had to look through the whole section of names tabulated un der 'W' perhaps before he got to the particular Willlard for which he was hunting. Under the new plan the first two letters of the name are given in the index—that is in seeking for 'Williard,' the searcher would simply hunt <for "YVi"—and the rest would bo easy." The death of Fred Vogt last week removes one of the most enthusiastic baseball fans Harrisburg has ever had. Fred was an authority on all sports, butt he showed stronger interest in baseball. During the old State League days, and while the Tri-State was doing good business, Fred Vogt would walk up and down in front of the bleachers yelling, at tlio players and tellinfe them what to do. lie played the game in his own mind scientilie ally. Few acquaintances knew the real history of this citizen. He graduated at institutions in England and Ger many with high honors. He spoke sev eral languages. Many a high school student he helped with Latin studies. It was the general opinion among some of his friends that he held sa cred part of the history of his life. He never explained why he entered the Iron-making business. Skating along the West Shore early this week was not far from the dem onstrations of skaters of Harrisburg ers at Wildwood during the Winter months.
