AGAIN IT FAILS ONCE more we are confronted by the inherent weakness of the I Clark act which imposed upon j Harrisburg the commission scheme of municipal government. No provision seems to have been made for tilling: a vacancy 'in the commission, save j through an expensive and burden- j some election. Some thousands of; dollars will probably have to be ex- 1 pended to choose a successor to Com- i missioner Bowman. Nor Is that the worst phase of the! matter. Pending the filling of the j vacancy the duties of an important j department, one having to do with j the life and health of the community, I must be discharged by other officials' in addition to their own daily routine. I No deputy, no trained subordinate to take over the responsibilities, but a: temporary shifting of duties to other; officials without knowledge of the de partment suddenly bereft of a head. Already there are rumors of lack of j discipline and indifference and failure ' to perform the daily tasks in certain quarters. How long are the people of llarris burg going to stand for the liap hazzard, go-as-you-please, you-ticUle- , me and I'll-tickle-you administration, of certain departments? Haveift they 1 had sufficient evidence of the weak- : nesses of the present scheme of gov- : ernment or are they willing to let' George do it until the final crash? At least, a study of tlie shortcom- ' ings of the last year or two by inter ested citizens would be helpful. If we are to have an Isle of safety at the intersection of Market and Sec ond streets, in Market Square, why not ' place the Donato statuary in the midst of it. Those nymplis presented to the city by Mr. Hersliey are entitled to j some consideration and in the absence ! of a memorial to John Harris, why not ; the water sprites? HARRY F. BOW MAN CITY COMMISSIONER HARRY F. ; BOWMAN'S record as a city official will rest largely upon his consistent policy of applying business methods in the transaction of public affairs. With an intimate and practi cal knowledge of machinery, through years of experience in one of the city's larger industrial plants, he introduced many improvements in the water de partment, which branch of the mu nicipal activities was under his direc tion. He also reduced water rates and was committed to more modern lighting methods, having already in , stalled considerable stretches of orna mental standards. Mr. Bowman was rather fixed in his opinions and did not easily change when once his njind was made up, but lie was public-spirited and the record of his service is highly credit able. Unswerving in his loyalty to friends, devoted to the interests of the city and with eyes to the front, the dead Commissioner, twice chosen by the people for responsible duties, accom plished much. James W. Eckels Is on the right road. As attorney for the borough of Mt. Holly Springs he T>ill urge upon the convention of boroughs, to be held in this city next month, an amendment to the laws governing the State high way system providing for taking over snd maintaining all Streets and bridges in boroughs which form part of recog nized highway routes. The Telegraph and other newspapers have been advo cating this change for years. DARING SEAMANSHIP IF German arms have been success ful on land, German ships have % * been far more so on the seas. The and daring of the German sea raiders have approached the dare devil exploits of John Paul Jones him self. Tho German commanders have never for a moment shown the white feather. They have calmly gambled with death and have not wavered when the throw was against them. Such bravery as they have displayed were worthy of a better cause. The FRIDAY EVENING, one blot on their, escutcheon has been their ruthlessness. True courage has always a thought for the helpless and gentleness is a characteristic that at all times has characterized America's ■ great naval heroes. "Don't cheer boys, ! the poor devils are dying," is a typical | sidelight on the American lighter's | point of view, and so, while we have j small sympathy for the commander who sinks without warning, we must admire his skill and dash and hardi hood. German seamanship has robbed | England of some of her laurels dur | ing this war and has added a new chapter to tho history of gallant achievements on tl.e ocean. So it appears the head of the Depart ment of Parkj is running true to form. Again proposals invited in pursuance of an ordinance of Council—this time for motor apparatus for the fire depart ment—are rejected because of a change of mind. Yet wc arc told how efficient is the commission scheme of govern ment. YOUR NEWSPAPER T">ROM all parts of the country the New Year has brought renewals of subscriptions to the Telegraph from readers of years' standing and the letters of support and encourage ment which accompanied the checks have been an Inspiration to those who make the newspaper. It is only by such means that the Telegraph learns whether or no it is pleasing its read ers; whether it is filling the place in the community that it is endeavoring to fill. Another gratifying development of the past few weeks has been the in creased use of its columns by readers of the paper. The Telegraph is YOUR newspaper, and the management is always glad to hear from you and to give your views to the public at large. It may not always happen that your opinions and those of the editorial columns of the Telegraph agree, and the Telegraph is not so egotisical as to assume that it is always right. Tf you differ with the newspaper's position, it is your privi lege to say so through the correspond ence columns on this page. Or, if you have some criticism of your own to offer or some improvement to suggest, the columns are always open to you. This is YOUR newspaper. It is be ing run in YOUR interests. Make the most of if. For yome reason the picture of a ! winter landscape is always more at- j tractive in the summer time. V "GOD-GIVEN CHAXCK" DR. ROESICKE, at a meeting of the German Farmers' Union, said recently that the "dear God has given a sign" that ruthless submarine warfare ought to be begun at once and "it is doubtful whether the dear God will give us such another opportunity, for He wishes us to grasp the hand He extends." The "dear God" demands ruthless warfare: in other words, the "dear God" asks Germans to go out and murder a few more women, children and innocent noncombatants. But not all the German people feel that way about it, however much some of our allied friends would have us believe they do. Yoerwaerts, the German Socialist organ, comments sarcastically on the speech as follows: So the dear God demands ruth less submarine war. Then every objection Is excluded. Are the circles around L>r. Roeaickc, who so gladly proclaim their firm faith in God, un- i aware of their frightful blasphemy? L&wson may be a liar, but even liars don't always lie. PARTY BLUNDERS IT is not easy to understand why the respofisible leaders of the Re publican party in national con claves and State conferences continue to insist upon doing the things which they ought to know will provoke further factional controversy and en danger the future harmony and ef fectiveness of the Republican organ ization throughout the country. Just when most earnest Republi cans were hopeful that the schism in j the party resulting from the break in 1912 was about healed tho leaders of ithe national organization get together jat New York and through an appar ent disposition to promote their own . selfish political interests provoke the j Progressive wing and invite further | party disaster. It is inconceivable that ; men entrusted with leadership will deliberately and brazenly pursue a course of conduct which inevitably mifst injure the cause which they are supposed to represent. These men are placed in party authority and they owe to the Republicans everywhere an obligation which will not be dis charged by factional controversy and the promotion of their own particular Interests. After the disappointing result of last November there is greater need than ever before to compose the dif ferences which have divided the party strength and forget the unfortunate past, save as it may prove a guide to party management and conduct here after. The conclusion is almost forced upon loyal Republicans that some of the party leaders are more disposed to guide a minority than they are to march at the head of a splendid ma jority in party affairs. The bickering of leaders only encourages similar dif ferences among their followers and while it is possible for these leaders The Days of Real By BRIGGS to get together over night it is not J such an easy matter to restore har mony in the rank and file. Unless the leadership of the party becomes responsive to the sentiment of the voters, blunders like that in New York and elsewhere will con tinue and the future of the party at large will be seriously imperiled. If you want to avoid worry, let some body else feed the furnace. Why not nil the (lags at half-mast on | the day of Admiral Dewey's funeral. I>o££Uc * U By the Ex-Committeeman I Brawling among Philadelphia Demo crats over who shall have the appoint ment to the vacancy in the office of appraiser of the port has gotten to a stage which has attracted national at tention and the Wilson administration is more or less concerned over the row which lias broken out right when it was figured out that the Democrats of Pennsylvania had been harmonized. The circumstances attending the crea tion of the vacancy left a bad impres sion and now when the Democratic newspapers have been proclaiming harmony the Philadelphia factions have started pulling hair again and filling the air with war cries. The Democratic state leaders, who had been sayingfjhow they were going to turn the Republican row to their own advantage, are now trying to settle the fuss and some action may be taken when the bosses get together here next week in case nothing is done in the meantime. A Washington dispatch to the Phila delphia Inquirer shows how the rum pus is regarded at the national capital. It is as follows: "Success of the har mony plans recently formulated with the 'regular' faction of the party in Philadelphia probably will depend upon the ability of the two factions to agree upon a successor to W. W. Roper, who recently resigned the po sition of appraiser at the port. A. Mitchell Palmer, national committee man, has been here for several days conferring with Fourth Assistant Post master General Filakslee and other Pennsylvania politicians. President Wilson probably will appoint any man suggested by Mr. Palmer. Mr. Roper's resignation came as a result of President Wilson's attitude in in sisting upon the demands of the rail road brotherhoods for a so-called eight-hour day. Although a Demo crat. Mr. Roper strongly disapproved of the President's surrender to the brotherhoods, and offered to resign immediately, but under pressure he agreed to stay in oflice until after elec tion. In the Interim Mr. Roper changed his politics and voted for Hughes. He again tendered his resig nation following the election and this time it was accepted." —The part the Democratic legis lators should play in regard to the movements for investigation of depart ments of the State government as out lined by Senator Boies Penrose will bo discussed at a meeting of the Demo cratic state ringmasters committee which will be held at Democratic State headquarters in this city on Monday. This committee was created at a con ference of Democratic legislators and State leaders at which it was stated plainly that any Democrat mixing in the Republican speakership row would have trouble. The conference chose E. Lowry Humes. United States dis trict attorney of Western Pennsylva nia and a former legislator, as chair man and (he drafting of bills was placed In his charge. State Chairman James P. Guffcy, Roland S. Morris and other State leaders are expected here on Monday, when the general policy of the Democrats will be outlined in re gard to investigations. It is believed that the Democrats will Insist upon their own resolution for Investigation, but are so eager to make political capital that they will join in any movement for a probe. —The name of Major-General C. M. Clement, commander of the National Guard division, is figuring considerably in the gossip about Public Service Commissioner since the return of the general from the horrter. General Clement Is a lawyer and lives at Sun bury and many letters and telegrams urging his selection to succeed Samuel W. Pennypacker have been sent to the Governor. M. E. Bushong, Lancaster's member of the State Commission of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Agriculture, is being mentioned as a | possible successor to Samuel B. Rambo as Superintendent of Public Grounds' and Building's. Bushong is a close! friend of Congressman W. W. Griest. who is believed not to be in favor of any drastic tearing up of the Brum baugh administration. —Penrose leaders have adopted as a part of their legislative program, it ! was learned yesterday, the exclusion of all lobbyists from the floors of the I House and Senate and the Philadel-1 phia Public Ledger says: "It is 110 I secret that the proposed antilobby rule j is aimed at agents of the Brumbaugh ; administration and even at members of the Governor's cabinet." In Phlladeljihia it is said Penrose leaders anticipate that agents and rep resentatives of the administration will be particularly active during the ses sion by reason of the investigations to be put under way and also by reason of the talk that leading members of the Senate will oppose the confirmation of men appointed by the Governor since the last session. The Ledger also says: "During the last session I considerable li<?ens6 'was" granted to lobbyists and other interested persons, even, while, the vote, was .being taken on important measures. These per sons occupied the seats of members and did not hesitate to'walk from seat to seat, talking to members. It is pro posed. upon the reconvening of the Legislature, that the presiding officer of each house instruct the sergeant at-arms to keep from the floors all ex cept those who have official legislative business." —William Draper Lewis in a long interview to-day gives his opinion about the way the Republican party has been run. —Jefferson county has been made "dry" again by Judge Corbett. —Lieutenant R. J. Graff, of Ta maqua, has been nominated for the vacancy in the Third Schuylkill dis trict. —Mayor Smith will cut short his vacation because of the Philadelphia situation. —The Vare plan of meeting the Penrose declarations is to be outlined at Philadelphia to-morrow. It will be chiefly waiting. —Senator Penrose and Republican leaders are talking over committee places to-day. Two Programs (New York Sun.l There are two possible programs for Congress and the country to which at tention may well be directed at this moment. The items of the first may be formulated as follows: 1. Passage of the Webb bill to en able the American exporters to com pete with the exporters of other coun tries in international trade. 2. Abandonment of railway labor legislation; resumption of the investi gation by the Newlands committee of the problems of railway regulation; framing of proper legislation to re lieve the railways. 3. Additional measures for the na tional defense, preceded by the repeal of the act federalizing the National Uuard. 4. Knactment of a revenue law re storing reasonable duties on imports, imposing productive indirect taxes to raise internal revenue, materially low ering the income tax exemptions and I reducing the rates; or abolishing the I income tax altogether and reserving jit as a source of revenue for times of great emergency. 1 The second program reads very dif ferent from the first: j 1. Investigate a scandal without smirching anybody except by studied j indirection. | 2. Pass railway labor legislation of j a sort to foment antagonism between employer and employe. I 3. Rest on the record of last ses i sion's moneys appropriated for na tional defense, and let Josephus fight it out witli the manufacturers if it takes all winter. 4. Pass the pork. 5. Vote a bond Issue and juggle with taxes a little. ti. Pass the Webb bill if there is time for it. It is thought that Congress will fol low one of these programs. Coughlin Favors Church Bell This is a discourse on church bells uttered by John J. Coughlin, Chicago alderman, better known as "Bathhouse John:" "Church bells are a good thing and we can't have too many of 'em. . "They have been ringing In this town for a good many years, and they haven't disturbed any more sleep than railroad bells, although they may dis turb the conscience of a sinner. "Every bell should be kept ringing on Sunday mornings to wake up the re formers and send them to church. "I wouldn't vote for an ordinance prohibiting church bells; every church should have them." The alderman was Inspired on the subject of church chimes by protests made to the health department by au thorities of St. Buke's Hospital against the frequent ringing of bells in a church nearby.—From the Chicago News. NEW YORK A MORAL CITY Decency, Courage, Kindness Her Attributes, Says an Admirer of the Metropolis I RECALL the definition, "Charac- j ter —What you arc in the dark," j and its paraphrase, "Character— | What you are in New York." Yet | what impresses me In New York is not 1 lier frivolity. It is her decency, her courage, her kindness. Of all great cities New York is by far the most moral outwardly, and who will fail to recognize the social value of even out ward morality? Of all great cities she is by far the pluckiest. She breeds fighters like Riis and Rainsford, Abbott and Potter, Jerome, Roosevelt and Ilughes. She | has tamed her police. She has taken a long, long stride toward abolishing the feudal system that centers in Tam many Hall. Big business behaves, or pretends to. Gamblers have ceased collecting art treasures. District at torneys have outgrown the habit of bowing themselves in through the ceil LETTERS TO THE EDITO¥] The Milk Question To lite Editor of the Telegraph; The milk question is a question of a j great deal more importance than the public is aware of. Dairy inspection | is demanded by our State officials and J by the cities mostly, while yi-e all would | welcome dairy inspection if it could be | done by competent men, but not if it j would be placed in the hands of either university students or college students. The result of dairy inspection with incompetent men would ruin dairying entirely. Forty per cent, of the dairy men are not. dairying to-day and it won't be very long until tiO per cent, will not be dairying, and the city people will bear the consequences. by paying the price for milk within two years. When the pasteurizing of milk j started it certainly ruined calf raising, j Milk that is pasteurized, I know from ; our own experience, is not good for calves, but you are compelled to pas teurize if you deliver milk to the creameries. A great many farmers 1 to-day give absolutely fresh milk to j their calves because the starch is taken ' out of the milk by pasteurizing and I often makes sick calves. For hogs I j don't bejleve there is very much harm | in pasteurizing. The veterinarians and physicians j dispute the above fact, but time will prove it when they pay the price for | milk. Some arc suggesting paper bot- j ties, which they claim cost only \' 2 cent ! each, but still the consumer must pay for them, as is always the rule. The eight-hour law is certainly keep- ; ing the -laboring class of people from j the farm and the farmer's sons and daughters go to the cities for Short 1 hours, and you can't blame them, be cause a dairyman gets his vacation when lie goes to his grave. ; While we have a Governor with good intentions, who seems to favor om pensation for the farmer, dairy inspec tion, I believe, is for the farmers' and dairymen's benefit, because it will help to get rid of some of the State's money and put the price of milk so that the dairymen and farmers can afford to hire two sets of eight-hour men a day. The farmer is compelled to pay a tax to hire a laboring man. The consumer I pays for it all. FROM ONE WHO KNOWS. That New Dry Decision "This means the beginning of real 1 prohibition, which lias never existed ;up to the present time. There will be more prohibition legislation passed during the present year than during any year of the past, and Congress will certainly submit the national pro hibition amendment to the country before 1920. The United States will be 'dry' within ten years."—William H. Anderson, head of Anti-Saloon League of New York. "It means that many States now 'dry' are going 'wet* within five years, and it Is the greatest check that pos sibly could be administered to the national prohibition movement." —A. L. Strasser, counsel for Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association. The foregoing conflicting interpre tations of the significance of the action of the Supreme Court of the United States in declaring the Webb-Kenyon law to be constitutional were express ed by persons who have been actively engaged in the prohibition fight.

Graft dwindles. Official com plicity with Satan is both difficult and dangerous. The tenement has improved. So has "Coney." Every advance costs a bat tle, and the end is not yet. New York realizes it. What with explosions, plagues, holocausts, "race wars," "crime waves" and strikes, -there are warnings in abundance of more fights coming, Tammany's striped beast is not dead. It sleeps. The underworld is not banished; every few days a sociologist unearths new miseries. And, mind you, this same New York surmounted her municipal building with a statue of Civic Pride. She does not like the recrudescence of evil. But, such is her pluck, she takes it as a challenge, and retorts: "After a hundred lights, the hundred and first? Then lead me lo it!" —Rol- lin Lynde Hartt, in the Century Maga zine. | EDITORIAL COMMENT I Evidently Itoumania misjudged the temperature of the water when she jumped in.—Atlanta Constitution.

Women Proved Slackers The London Times, whose special cor respondent made a thorough study of the causes for Australia's vote against compulsory military service, gives three ic-aaons for the rejection of conscrip tion. The first of these is that the women of Australia proved slackers, re turning' an overwhelming vote against conscription. The second is that the Irish votes, which amounts to quite an important proportion. went solidly against conscription because a vole for it was regarded as a vote cast for Eng land. A third reason is that the people feared that Australia, stripped of able bodied fighting men, would fall an easy prey to a powerful Asiatic nation The last reason was a powerful one acco:dlng to the Times correspondent' who found little cause to duuht the loyalty of the colony to the Empire.

Shoemaker, pub lisher of the Altoona Tribune, his torian and lover of nature, has added to his splendid contributions to tlio history of Pennsylvania a book on tlio legends of the Juniata Valley. About ten years ago Colonel Shoemaker, whose love for the woods and the hills and the mountains caused him to travel over the greater part of middle and northern Pennsylvania, wrote Pennsylvania Mountain stories and then a book of verses on the ranges of the Keystone State. He had pre viously written upon wild life in Penn sylvania and the popular interest awakened in the stories of the beauti ful valleys and hills of the State in duced Colonel Shoemaker to enlarge his studies and about four years ago he published the Susquehanna legends, which attracted wide notice and was the first attempt made to gather the stories of the wide branch ing river and to treat them sym pathetically. Colonel Shoemaker did not try to write history. He collected the legends, upon which much history is founded and told them in a way that brought home the days of the In dians, the trappers, the traders and the settlers. Since that time he lias pub lished several books and some mono graphs and now Juniata Memories has appeared. As in the case of the Sus quehanna Legends, the scene of many of the stories is not far from Har risburg and the legends have been told about the tireside of many a llar risburg family whose forefathers set tled up the Blue Juniata and who told the stories to the grandparents of some Harrisburgers of to-day. There have been few more entertaining collections of legends of any State assembled than the list in the Memories. 0 Major General Charles M. Clement, commander of the Pennsylvania di vision at tl,e border, was ono of the happiest men in llarrisburg yesterday when he had received a gold watch from the members of his staff as a parting gift. The staff will separate to-day after many months of living together and the general in speaking about the gift declared that it would always remind him of one of the most delightful periods of his life. When the National Guard was called out there were a good many matters "up in the air." so to speak. Orflcrs were being issued for many changes and in the pulling and hauling which occur red when the examinations, appoint ments and musterings were going on there were times when things were tense. Yet, throughout the mobiliza tion and during the service at 101 Paso the headquarters staff lived together 08 one family and the general said there never was a more congenial group assembled. Officials, of the State League of Boroughs, who decided at their re cent meeting here to urge udoption of a constitutional amendment for a greater measure of homo rule appear to have started something, as the boys say. The suggestion has been taken up in a number of municipalities, In cluding some of the cities and the. chances are that there will be some earnest support given to the amend ment from unexpected and Influential quarters. The third class city league has been discussing the plan for years and there have been many moves to bring the idea to the attention of the legislators. • • • The other afternoon a man dressed in all of the up-to-date toggery of an automobile owner appeared in the courthouse and fussily demanded of a man who was lounging in the ro tunda—against the rules—where he could set a license. The lounger naturally sent him lo the marriage license office and the man emerged a few minutes later red in the face and desirous of shedding blood. He land ed on the lounger and told him lie should guess again. The idle one had a sense of humor and replied: "Since you're after somethin' go and try fer a hunter's license on the second lloor." The oilier man got mad prop erly and asked the lounger if he had never seen an automobile. "Not yours," was the answer of the lounger. • • * Speaking of marriage licenses it was not so long ago that a very much embarrassed young couple appeared in the office of the chief of the guides at the State Capitol and asked to be shown where they could get a mar riage license. They came from a near by town and it seems had walked right by the courthouse. • • The state Federation of Pennsyl vania Historical Societies, which held its annual meeting here yesterday, was formed in llarrisbu.p- a dozen years ago. It- was started by a few men who were much interested in having the societies work for a com mon end and to secure some greater measure of co-operation. State Li brarian Thomas Lynch Montgomery was one of the moving factors as was Senator W. C. Sproul. The result has been that the societies have been "pulling together" and that important places have been located and their historical significance brought to the attention of the public. * * * Among visitors to the city yester day was Col.
