Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then fill the cracks and crevices of time toith holy service.—C. H. Spurgeon. MR. WILSON'S SPEECH IT is' difficult, If not impossible, to forecast the result of President Wilson's spoech before the Senate yesterday. Whether history shall re gard it as a remarkable piece of state craft or a mass of befuddled flub-dub will depend largely upon the outcome. The address came like a bolt from a bluo sky and whether it will serve only to clear the air or has shattered hopes for an early peace will not be known until the clouds of diverse comment have rolled away. This much may be conceded —that the President is sincere in his desire not alone to bring the present conflict to an end, but to insure world peace In the future; that he Is prompted by motives of highest Idealism and that he has the courage to face the criti cisms that he must have known would be directed at him as a result of his unprecedented proposal. The end he strives for Is ideal, but whether it can be worked out along the more or less Indefinite plans he advocates is the question. Indeed, his speech is so filled with terms that may be con strued to mean any one of a half dozen things that It will not be difficult for leaders of the warring nations, either unintentionally or for their own purposes, to misunderstand. Indeed, lack of clarity Is one of the chief charges that will be lodged against the speech. The President has enunciated a Monroe Doctrine for the world; he has asked for "peace without a vic tory," and has requested the Senate to pledge itself to some scheme of world peace the details of which are apparently not well defined In his own mind. Peace to be lasting must be without victory, he says, regardless of the fact that the most permanent peace the world has ever known —that between the North and the South—was the re sult of a very decisive victory. What the President probably means is that no lasting peace can be expected un less the victor treats the vanquished fairly, which Is quite a different thing. The President's bitterest critics will no doubt find In his latest effort ma terial for condemnation, but fair minded persons will await the result. It may easily develop that he has made a gross error; indeed, the temp tation is strong to view his address in that light. But It is just as well to await developments. However, such a step as the Presi dent proposes—violating as it does all our national traditions from Washing ton's time to the present, sundering our moorings as a nation apart from all others and starting it forth with sails full set upon a sea of world poli tics and doubtful alliances—is well worthy of the fullest patriotic discus sion in which no partisan politics should enter and which should have but one object and that the welfare of the nation. They're talking about abandoning the elephant as a circus attraction; might as well try to get along without a tent or a ticket wagon. > PFN'NSYLVAXIA, FARMING STATE WHILE the whole world knows that Pennsylvania ranks with nations in its production of iron and that its steel works are the back bone of the American trade; that it mines almost half of the coal of the United States, and that its oil and ore, manufactured goods and lumber play a big part in the country's business, it has only been within the last year that the people of the Keystone State have become aware of the prominence of their Commonwealth as a food pro ducer. The Pennsylvania Railroad and some commercial organizations made praiseworthy efforts to obtain reliable statistics and to awaken interest in th© agricultural enterprises of the State and in years gone by national and State campaigns to get first-hand Information were undertaken. But it has only been within the last year that a State system has been ovolved and put into operation. This system has been worked out by the Bureau of Statistics of the State Department of Agriculture and it Is from that office the people of the State have come to know that Pennsylvania is seventh in the list of States In the value of Its farm crops and that they run somewhere around a quarter of a billion dollars in worth; that we know that o"ur Iron and steel and coal &tate is tho second producer of hay in the country, and hay Is worth a lot In real money these days; that this State is TUESDAY EVENING, tho aecond apple grower when It cornea to value of the fruit, and that In tho prloea obtained for lta wheat, potatooß and rye It was No. 8 In America last year. We confoss to a considerable amount of pride In our old Commonwealth as a farming State. Wo have written much, spoken much and thought much about our front rank In manufacturing, mining and metal making and have felt tjirllls when we considered our princely ap propriations for encouragement of education and amelioration of ills. Now we can expand our chests over our splendid place as a producer oj food in the days when it is giving the economists concern. The figures of the statistical bureau are e. tonic and we hope the Legislature will do the right thing and help us to further advertise our farming products be cause we have got lots of land that we can put into cultivation. Here's hoping Companies D and I will not choose such an Inauspicious hour to arrive as did the Governor's Troop. A BUDGET FOR THE STATE THE fact that the Pennsylvania Legislature, which will reconvene here next Monday night for the Inauguration of the business of the biennial session, will appropriate money exceeding that of the total In come of a number of the nations of the world lends to the importance of the statement made by the counsel of the State Economy and Efficiency Commission that a budget system of appropriations can be worked out for this Commonwealth. It Is only neces sary to call attention to the difference which has occurred time and again be tween' the amount of the appropria tions passed by the Legislature for the conduct of the State government and for various public works and the ag gregate of the Governor's approvals. Harry S. McDevitt, the counsel who made the statement last night that the budget system was feasible, is a lawyer and trained investigator and for the last half dozen years has been studying the State governmental methods and observing those In other States. Mr. McDevitt says that under the constitution the Governor can re quire information which could be made, with a measure of legislative assistance, into a budget. He says that the department chiefs could give what they spent and estimate what they need and tho Governor could then make his recommendations to the Legislature. Anyone familiar with the methods of handling appropriation bills, not ably the general appropriation bill which provides the funds for the run ning of the State government, can see that there is room for Improvement. It gets sandwiched in between a raft of bills carrying appropriations for charities, the worthiness of some of which Is open to mor§ or less criticism, and in 1913 it was the last bill to get to the Governor. Successive Gover nors have had to cut the bill because the real work on It came either In the dying days of the Legislature or after the members had gone home. Under the budget plan work would be done onoe and done beforehand. The Kaiser is very likely to discover that Switzerland is not Belgium. c THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW APPLES," observed Elbert Hub bard, "are much cheaper than medicine," thereby paraphrasing the old saying that "An apple a day keeps the doctor awdy." Apples are one of the big features and by far the most Interesting to the lay visitor to the big agricultural show now on at the Emerson-Brantingham building in connection with the farm conventions being held In Harrisburg. As the meat supply gojjs down the fruit supply increases. This Is no bet ter demonstrated than in our own South Mountain apple belt, where the orchards are growing In extent every year and where the quality of the ap ples Is being constantly Improved. They may have just as fine looking apples In Oregon and Washington, but experts all admit that they must yield the palm to Pennsylvania In point of flavor, and, like the pudding, the proof of the apple is in the eating. Apple growing is a pleasant and profitable business, properly conducted, but like everything else, it requires skill and persistence. From Haddon field, N. J., comes a news dispatch of a profit of $3,000 on an apple orchard of five acres. This is exceptional, but It is typical or the returns that fruit growers have been able to wrest from the soil. Apples make for happiness both for the grower and the consumer. The more the merries for all of us. It will be a long time before the apple market is overstocked, and It is pleasing to note the Increasing importance ac corded the apple industry by the State agricultural societies. In the matter of the big sign board erected at tho corner of the Federal property at Third and Walnut streets, the question is naturally asked why the officials of the Government are so indifferent to the civic Interests of a community such as Harrisburg. It was bad enough that the rebuilding opera tions of the Post Office should have be come a common nuisance, but the erec tion of this big bill board for the ad vertisement of army and navy recruit ing is about the last straw. Now that the distinguished landscape architects employed by the Common wealth to prepare designs for the per manent treatment of the Capitol Park zone are ready to submit to the Board of Public Groups and Buildings their plans, something definite in the way of action may be expected. Arnold W. Brunner and Warren H. Manning have given the problem much study, and their conclusions will be the basis upon which the whole subject will bo sub mitted to the Legislature. United States Senator Knox, Alba B. Johnson, United States Senator Oliver and other important and potential lend ers of the Republican party arc in line with the sentiment of that party when they declare that prohibition of the liquor traffic Is Inevitable.

When Herr Sarig, of Berks, a mem ber of the ringmasters committee, called up the document, which he ex tolled as an effort to obtain facts, it was promptly torn to pieces by Rep resentative Beyer of Philadelphia. Mr. Beyer dulled attention to the fact that tho Democratic resolution proposed to investigate the State government but did not provide for any co-operation on the part of the Senate, it being solely a House affair. He asked Herr Sarig if he had any remedial legisla tion in mind and was informed that all the Democrats were seeking was to show up something. Mr. Beyer then called it a "fishing expedition" and Herr Sarig attempted to defend It as a move to "diagnose the disease affecting the political life of the Com monwealth." Mr. Chestnut, of Fulton, hopped Into the spotlight for a few minutes and then on motion of Mr. Mllliron the House voted 116 to 39 to postpone indefinitely. Mr. Maurer, tho Berks socialist member, voted with the Democrats. —The resolution was wrecked In the presence of Roland S. Morris and other Democratic bosses, who had been here all day prescribing for the ills of Pennsylvania, as they see them. The committee drafted a lot of bills which will be solemnly discussed by the Democratic press and forgotten. The Democrats expect to make much capital out of their bills, but if they are not more successful than they were last night they had better quit. Some of the Democrats could not un derstand why Vare men did not vote with them and held a wake after the House adjourned. —State Chairman Guffey did not get here, being ill. John G. Harman, for mer member from Columbia, however, was here. —Representatives Quinton O. Reit zel, Lancaster, and I. D. Musser, of Juniata, who were absent when the House organized, were sworn In Im mediately after the House was called to order last night. Mr. Reitzel was In service with the Fourth Infantry when the General Assembly met. The oath was administered by Judge S. J. M. McCarrell, of the Dauphin county court. —Speaker Baldwin announced the following as members of the Commit tee on Rules: Messrs. Ramsay. Dela ware: Whitaker, Chester; Heffernan. Philadelphia; McCaig. Allegheny, and Flynn, Elk. All are legislators of ex perience. The plan for the local option cam paign to be waged by the Anti-Saloon League will be settled at a meeting to be held here by the executive com mittee of the league next Tuesday. The meeting will be held at the head quarters, by which time the reports of the men who have canvassed the situation will bo taken up and con sidered. it will then be decided when the bill will be presented and by whom. It Is regarded as pretty certain that the county unit will be specified In tho bill. Tho league expects the bill to be fought out on tho floor of the House. —lt is now "Good Roads" Spangler. Representative Robert S. Spangler, of York, has been named to the chair manship" of the House public roads committee, the place held so long by Senator E. E. Jones, of Susquehanna, who was promoted to the Senate last election. Mr. Spangler Is well quali fied for the chairmanship, as he has studied the road situation and is wide awake and progressive in his ideas. Samuel A. Whitaker, who is to be chairman of the House manufac tures committee, is the representative of the National Guard on the floor, as he is captain of the Phoenixvllle bat tery. historic Battery C of' the First Artillery, the oldest artillery organ ization in the State. —Robert W. Herbert, editor of the Greensburg Tribune, came here to at tend the opening of the real work of the session. He vised to write pieces about the Legislature for Pittsburgh papers. —One of the newspapermen who will be missed will be James H. Lam bert. Jr.. who renresented the Phila delphia Telegraph and who is now secretary to the director of safety In Philadelphia. Lee Solomon, who was the Philadelphia Record correspond ent last session, is now secretary of the Compensation Board. —Congressman L. T. McFadden, ot the Bradford county district, was here to see the lawmakers at work. The congressman Is considered as good northern tier timber for the future. —The failure of the Democrats to make a better showing: when the time came ta start off the session was a dis appointment to many of the minority mirty men and the spectators in the House were somewhat amused at what occurred after all the advertising and the noisy announcements from Market Square. -—Mother's pension legislation Is to receive considerable attention this ses sion and there will be a couple of camps which will seek to make changes in the laws. The fact that such a biff balance remained while there was considerable suffering will be a fruitful source of inquiry. —Philadelphia newspapers take the otfoposed investigation variously. The Inquirer says that it is the first move in a fight to a finish between the fac tions, while the North American does not seem to take it- seriously." The Public Ledger devotes considerable space to-day to a presentation of the Governor's personal expense accounts, as shown by the vouchers on file, in cluding taxicab hire, expenses in Maine and other items. It is charged that most of the personal expenses of the Governor were paid by the State, but this is disputed at the Capitol. Social Centers in Chicago Schools [The American' City.] The idea of having social centers conducted In the public schools is so strongly approved in Chicago that forty-five of the schools now have them, and the superintendent of schools has been authorized to open centers in other school buildings in which they are de sired. The appropriation for this purpose for the present year Is $50,000. and the president of the board of education, Jacob M. Loeb, hopes to secure SIOO,- 000 with which to pursue the work next year. The growth of the Idea is apparent from the increase in the number of these centers conducted last year, from twenty-seven for a limited period of seven weeks' duration to forty-five this year- for the longer period of twenty three weeks. President Loeb feels that the edu cation which may bo derived from the evenings thus spent in social inter course is ns Important as any of the other fundamentals, and that It really gives a finishing touch to the work of citizen-making. HARRISBURG tdSßflt TELEGRAPH f ; When a Feller Needs a Friend . By BRIGGS - ' LETTERS TO THE EDITOR] Thanks the Telegraph To the Editor of the Telegraph: Just a word of commendation. The quotations that you print at the head of the editorial column add interest and value to the Telegraph, especially the Bible verses. Hope they will be con tinued. Very sincerely yotlrs, WE GRANT HOOVER. Anent Square To the Editor of the Telegraph: In reading the Ilarrisburg Telegraph I was much interested in the discussion of the treatment of Market Square. As one travels, without exception one finds, that open squares of all cities are made centers for beautifying. It is time that some change is made in Market Square and that change ought to be to beautify. The marked improvements in our streets and parks have added much to the attractiveness of Harrisburg, but we cannot point with any pride to Market Square; it still lias the appearance of a village. Why not make it a center of beauty? An oval grass plot with a monument of John Harris, or one of our great statesmen seems the only right treat ment of the most central point of our city. We ought to point out with pride the historic picturesque Market Square, and may we do so before another year goes by. A RESIDENT. Welcoming the Troop To the Editor of the Telegraph: Certain things happening during tho past week compel me to air my opinion In public, something I have never done before and sincerely hope this may not find its way to the wastepaper basket. AVhat I refer to was the elaborate (?) reception to the Governor's troop on, the morning of the 17th. For several days Harrisburgers looked anxiously for their coming—and when they came what did they get? Red lights, cheers, bands, etc, but not one drop of hot coffee and sandwiches on that cold morning. I know they would have appreciated both after their long cold ride, and they richly deserved it. Vhen I read in the papers of the re ceptions other places gave their dear boys, I am ashamed of our city. Where were the preparedness committee, the Chamber of Commerce, or any society or club? Three hours' time was sup posed to be given to prepare for their coming—prepare what? Many persons have expressed themselves just as I have done and think it strange that Harrisburg exercised such a spirit of economy (?) at this particular time. When we write to our friends out of the city we can tell of the big head lines In the papers, regarding their ad vent, but in small letters write—mil lions for defense, but not one cent for coffee and sandwiches. Sincerely, A FRIEND OF THE SOLDIERS. Editor's Poetic Tribute How dear to any heart is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth of each year, Who lays down his money and does It most gladly, And casts 'round the office a halo of cheer, He never says, "stop It; I cannot afford it, I'm getting more papers than now I can read;" But always says, "send it; our people all like it — In fact we all think it a help and a need." How welcome his check when it reaches our sanctum. How it makes our pulse throb; how it makes our hearts dance: We outward.ly thank him; we inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. •—Valley Times-Star, Newville. I THE LEAGUE TO EVERY proposal for a new de parture in public affairs, and especially In foreign relations, awakens exaggeraed hopes and stirs unneeded fears. Often the hopes and fears are due to a misunderstanding of the object sought. This ought not to be true of the I.eague to Enforce Peace, because, although the details and methods of operation are left to the future, the principles involved are clearly stated and the of the objects sought are carefully de lined. An impression, however, has gone abroad that the organization may be intended, or used, to help in bringing the European war to a close. There are people, no doubt, who would like to see it directed to that purpose; but tho statement of the ob ject was deliberately framed to pre vent this very thing, namely, to "es tablish and maintain peace after the close of the present war"; and the executive committee can safely be trusted not to permit It to be diverted from this aim. To seek to maintain peace before war breaks out is a very different thing from interposing be tween belligerents; offering, unsought, an opinion upon the terms they ought to accept; and bringing pressure to bear on the weaker and more vulner able side. It is essentially the differ ence between seeking to prevent a quarrel and buying into a quarrel. An attempt to separate combatants may be, under proper conditions, highly praiseworthy, but is certainly no part of tho object of. the League in the present war. Many Americans complain that the League would involve our country in entangling alliances with foreign na tions contrary to our traditions.

On the other hand, the obli gations might, and probably would, save us from being entangled in war. There are different kinds of obliga tions and alliances. Some people think of the proposed League as an alliance of a few nations to counterbalance an* other League of about equal strength, anil this might well become a provo cation, rather than a prevention, of war A vendetta, where men are bound together to fight others and re venge injuries, is an entangling al liance; a police force is not. It is to the latter class that the League be longs. It is primarily directed to pre vent war amongst its own members, anu will, it is hoped, become so strong as to 'naintain P eace at last through out the world. In fact, if enough na tions and enough great nations, join it the others will feel the need of coming in.

South Harrlsburg, which has some ad mirable sites for industries, has been dependent upon the Central Iron and Steel works and the works as the main Industries since the demolition of the Dochiel Rolling Mill and the Chesapeake Nail Works, and the idle Lochlel and Paxton fur naces have been looked at a pood many times with foreboding.

The men at the stack are not the only ones for there are big trestles being built for ore and the huge cinder beds are be ing torn away to make room for tracks. With tho starting of this fur nace things will liven up still more and maybe use may be found for Do cliiel furnaces, too. Jacob Eightner, chief of the Statei Bureau of Employment, has had con siderable success lately with placing one-armed and one-legged men in places where there was work which suited their infirmities.
