TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1910 GIVE THE WEST A SHARE _F PENNSYLVANIA is ever going j to establish a system of State forests that will help provide revenue for education and other purposes when natural resources commence to diminish and to ac quire the tracts which will bo. val uable for power when coal is no longer regnant in industry this is •the time to start. But, as we said "before, the people of this Slate do not want any conservation system to be hitched to any individual's chariot or exploited to "redeem" Pennsylvania in the eyes of a whole lot of people in distant states who do not understand either the Key stono State, its cosmopolitan popu lation or its diversified business and industry. We want to 'get a forestry j system that will not cost too much, that will not break us to maintain and which will lie worth while when we want it. But we do not want any one to climb our forest trees to get Into political power. The forest re serves in this State are a good busi ness proposition and they are going lo be very valuable after Vvhile, if politics is kept out. The State system contains over a million acres and it is handled as well as can be expected for the money given- for it. Owing to the prices and the fact that in Pennsylvania people do not consider coal and oil and gas rights so much ! the greater part of the forests are east of the mountains. The western section of tlje State, which produces so much wealth, has only two State forests. Great sections which should be safeguarded from floods have vir tually no forest protection. There is land which can grow trees if some one will take the trouble. Some of It was used for grazing before long horns from Texas came in. Now it is proposed to buy a quarter million acres on the Ohio jvatershed. Prob ably tho price will go up at once, but the State should make a program and give Western Pennsylvania a share of the forestry reservations. It will arouse people In that great community to importance of the forests and facilitate the crystalliza tion of Pennsylvania sentiment In J'avor of conservation as a business ind not a political proposition. All of what Berlin used to call "Tankee bluff" appears to have been annexed by the new German govcrn snent NOT A SUCCESS HERE THE Wilkes-Barre Record ap pears to think the non-partisan small council law has eliminat ed politics from municipalities. May be in Wilkes-Barre, but not in Ilar risburg. Our experience is quite the opposite. There is more politics to the square inch in city circles at this moment than ever there was under the old form of government to the equare yard. Politics! Why little or nothing is ever UopS by council without due consideration for tho political effects on this or that member's prospects for re-election. Tho Clark act has brought no bene fits to Harrisburg. The Telegraph cannot be accused of being dis gruntled politically by the operations of the law, for a majority of all the eouncilmen have been Republicans •ince it went into effect; all rive are now of that political faith, and this is a Republican newspaper. Nor does It place all responsibility-upon the shoulders of tho eouncilmen. They are the victims of a system that is .about as impractical as any that coold be devised for the government of a municipality. Tho people of Harrisburg might onmight not vote for g return to the old parly systcip, but it is that the}" would'vote for ulmost any! TUESDAY EVENING, change that would promise Improve ment. After all the arguments for and against the Clark act have been made the fact remains that, whereas Hirrisburg had a good and econom ical government under the former party system, it has had a poor and extravagant government since the Clark act went into effect. A review of the accomplishments for city bet terment before and since and a glance at the books of the City Treasurer will prove that. The orators who come here to-day to speak against prohibition will de liver funeral orations. LABOR NOT FOR BOOZE TO attempt to line up American labor' as favoring the retention of booze in this country is to libel as fine a body of citizens as there is in the world. Whatever the message representatives of certain unions to Harrisburg to-day to try to influence the Senate of Penn sylvania to vote against tl>e prohibi tion amendment, the legislators may rest assured that they do not speak for the large, self-respecting, clear thinking majority of Pennsylvania workingmen who have placed the stamp of their disapproval upon the saloon and sit with thumbs down while the fate of John Bar leycorn is in the balance. There is no popular uprising of labor in defense of booze. There never was. Attempts have been made to line up the unions with the bar rooms, but the sentiment has always been lacking and endorse ments, such as have been put through •some of the conventions, never have had a true ring. Some of them even now are being recalled as unauthor ized. Our churches are made up mostly of working men, because working peopje constitute the great bulk of our population, and these have not only been openly in favor of i prohibition, but have been working openly and militantly for adoption of the amendment ever since it came before the voters. ' No; labor as a whole is no more in favor of prohibition than it is wholly Republican or wholly 'Demo cratic. Some working men favor i prohibition; others are opposed to it. j In this country men decide political | and economic questions Jar them selves. They are not led or driven in matters where their ballots are involved. In Pennsylvania they have voted for prohibition. The Senate will vote that way, too. The American people are about to subscribe to a Victory Roan, and we suppose the Germans will call theirs a Defeat I,oan. AN AUTOMOBILE CENTER AUJ things conspire to make Harrisburg one of the greatest centers of' automobile travel in the East. The announcement of main highways to be constructed with money derived from the $50,- 000,000 good roads loan mentions Harrisburg in connection with .more than half of the arteries to be built. This is not because Governor Sproul and Highway Commissioner Sadler especially favor Harrisburg, but be cause this city is advantageously situated with respect to transporta tion of all kinds. It has been so since the days of John Harris. But if we had not provided means ,of taking care of touring parties with adequate hotel accommodations many of those coming this way would not stop here, but would con tinue on to some more hospitable town. General Manager Wiggins, of the Penn-Harris, says automobile tourists will crowd that hotel next spring and summer. Already hundreds of In quiries have been received. The question no longer is whether or not the hotel is needed, or will it be a success, but -how to take care of all who desire to make it their stop ping place in Harrisburg. DEEP SECRETS { I OVERNMENT by mystery" I -■ may become an appropriate expression. Representative Padg|Lt, chairman of the House Naval," Committee, received a cable gram from, tho President and per mitted the understanding to become general that the President had said that failure to enact the big navel building program would be "fatal to my negotiations." Then, when asked directly on the floor of the House whether the cablegram did in fact contain these words, Padgett refused to answer. ; Between the President's assur ance to Congress that "you will know all that I know," and tho re fusal of Padgett to disclose the contents of the cablegram, the sit uation seemed likely to reach the stage where someone could appro priately pass tho short and ugly word. At any rate. Congress is expected to legislate upon the basis of mys terious rumors. The French think American base ball brutal. What, we wonder, would be their adjective for college football fctUtctCK 'faKKtytianta By the Ex-Committeeman | A pretty fair indication of what the I Senate intends to do in regard to l the resolution to ratify the prohibi tion amendment was furnished last night when the committee on law in order, which has it in charge, agreed to report it out in spite of some protests. The vote was six to I've, the senators declining to give tne names of the men who voted in the negative. . ..fl 0 e,Tec,; of this action gets the hill before the Senate today.

What has become of the old time fellow who entertained his commun ity with what was known as on the French harp? To be sure these harps were made in Germany, as a rule, but they were always called French. Now and again one sees—and hears—one of these per formers in vaudeville shows. Occa sionally a man appears who not only manages a harp, but plays a guitar with his hands and beats a set of drums with his feet. In the little towns there used to be many French harp players, and one always stood out above the rest. As a rule he worked in the livery stable and after he had manicured the horses, bathed the best girl buggief), folded the laprobes, put away the whips and greased the har ness, he wiped his hands on his trousers and reached • lor his hip pocket, Where he kept his eating tobacco and his French harp. On summer afternoons he sought the shady side of the barn, tilted back his chair and fitted his feet to the lower rung. In his cupped hands lie placed his French harp and pro duced sounds, both going and com ing. Soon there came a little knot of people who enjoyed the product of the mouth organ. First he played "Home, Sweet Home," then he gave "The Irish Washerwoman." and, if sufficiently urged, he would perform "Listen to the Mocking Bird," with variations of his own composition. That was music, sublime and inspir ing, but it seems to have passed. Perhaps the passion for mechanical music has been too great for the mouth organ to combat. The small town livery stable probably Is now equipped with a piano player, in stead of the minstrel who seems to have vanished. Mijslerij in Ship's Loss (From the New York World.) One of the real old peace time mysteries of the sea. involves the disappearance of the 51-year-old Norwegian iron sailing ship Su perior which sailed from' Manila, December 12, bound here, byway of the Cape of Good Hope, with cap tain and crew of sixteen and a cargo of four thousand bales of hemp and one thousand tons of sugar. The Norwegian-American Trading company, charterers of the ship, re ceived a cable from agents in Ma nilif the other day that the mate and seven men had landed on the Island of Bali, in the Malay Archi pelago. Government authorities at Manila were notified and a search was made for the ship, but no trace of it was found. The cablegram contained the sen tence, "If. is a mysterious case," and stated that the ship had become "en dangered" of Bali. Its master, Capt. II Hansen, and crew were said to have taken to two lifeboats, hut had not progressed far toward land when Captain Hansen and eight men in one boat put back to the ship, while the mate and seven men in another boat rowed to Bali. The captain and eight were seen to board the Superior again Christmas day. PLAY FOLKS Sometimes baby boy grows tired Of being just himself! Then he'll chango with twinkling eye To airy-fairy elf.

It won't be long till spring!" —Tennyson J. Daft. "Old-Timers" Turn Up In Brennan's Political Notes SOME interesting "Harrisburg stuff," as newspaper men call it, is contained ih George J. Erennan's "Who's Who in Pennsyl vania" in a recent issue of the Phil adelphia inquirer. This is what he writes: "Among the visitors at Harrisburg to witness the iriauguration of Governor Sproul was Colonel George E< Mapes, who for years has been an active factor in the politics of Pennsylvania. He was chairman of the independent Republican State committee in the campaign of 1890 which supported Robert E. Pattison, the Democratic nominee, who de feated George Wallace Delamater for the governorship. As a mem ber of the Assembly, Colonel Mapes participated in the inauguration of Henry M. iioyt as governor just forty years ago. He was' then in the vigor of youth. He represent ed the county in which Colonel E. L. Drake struck the llrst oil well, Venango, in the sessions of 1877, 1878, 1879 and 1881. He came to Philadelphia to become a member of the editorial staff of Colonel A. K. McClure's Philadelphia Times one year before the expiration of his last term as a member of the House. Venango county was then entitled to three Representatives in the House in Harrisburg. The col leagues of Colonel Mapes in the ses sions of 1877 and 1878 were John M. Dickey and William Cotes. In 1879 his colleagues were Samuel B. Myers and J. P. De Woody and in the session of 1881, his fellow mem bers from Venango were Samuel B. Myers and Willis J. Jlulings. Of these, Rulings is the only survivor and it was the good fortune of Colonel Mapes to meet him on his recent visit to the state capital and to congratulate him on his second election to Congress from his old oil county district. Since he was a Venango county assepiblyman, Hu lings has been a state Senator, a Brigadier General of the National Guard, and commander of the forces that captured Porto Rico in the Spanish-American war, and he has just been elected to Congress for the second time. "Colonel Mapes when introduced in a hotel lobby by a mutual friend to State Senator W. Clayton Hack ott, of Kaaton. remarked that the latter's father, J. M. Hackett, was a member of the. House from North ampton county In 1879 and served with him on the committee of eleven which prosecuted tho riot bill bribers of that session. " 'And we worked in entire har mony and accord,' remarked the veteran former legislator to the son of his old colleague. "Colonel Mapes also recalled that Colonel Asher Miner, of Wilkes- Barre, who has just returned home from France, crippled and scarred with wounds and covered with glory, was the son of Charles A. Miner, who sat with him in the leg islative session of 1877 and 1878 from Luzerne county. "Among other pleasures of his trip was a call upon Edwin W. Jackson, who was a member from Mercer county and the Republican leader of the House in the sessions of 1877 and 1878. Jackson fell In love with a Ilarrisburg girl, who in duced him to forsake Mercer county and become a member of the Dau phin county bar. This, he added, suggested the drawing power of a pretty woman from Maine, who at tracted James G. Blaine, a son of Pennsylvania, to her native state to become a famous statesman, which distinction he might have missed by remaining here. • • • "Attorney James A. Stranahan, a former Deputy Attorney General and one-time chairman of the Demo cratic State committee, greeted Colonel Mapes cheerily and swapped recollections of the olden time for an hour at a stretch. Now in his eightieth year, Stranahan attends to his law practice dally and scouts the Idea of retiring. He complains, however, when he revlsts Mercer county, the sons of the mgp who were his youthful contemporaries Insist on calling him 'Mr. Stranahan* instead of 'Jim,' as their fathers did. "A fellow visitor to the inaugura tion, who gave Colonel Mapes a hearty handshake, was Captain J. p. Walker, of Pittsburgh, who was a member of the House from Alle gheny county in the sessions of 1877 and 1878, and with his wife and a little daughter, boarded at the same house with Colonel Mapes and his wife. Captain Walker's little daugh- | ter has grown up and married and made him a grandfather, a distinc tion of which he is decidedly proud. I j lie says he Is the only surviving member of the Allegheny county i delegation of that period. "Of the members of the Phila delphia delegation in the House dur ing Colonel Mapes' legislative ca reer, I. D. McKee, Emmanuel Furth and Captain Samuel I!. Town still survive. There may be others liv ing, but if so, they have passed out of his acquaintance. "Governor Sproul has had a flying *dart in putting the State Health Department in good form again after the jolt given it during the in fluenza epidemic when no one seem ed to know what was going to hap pen next. "In the selection of Colonel Ed ward Martin as Health Commission er he named a worthy successor to the late Samuel G. Dixon, to whose memory it is proposed there shall be erected a statue of marble either in the State Capitol or on the Park way of the Quaker City, where he achieved his greatest professional | triumphs. * ( "Colonel Martin, owing to the facj that he has been unable to ob tain his release from his respon | sible position under the Federal : government with the Walter Reed i Hospital at Washington. D. C. t has not been in a position to do more than outline lis policies for putting the Sproul Health Department upon the highest possible plane of effi ciency. His flrst official act, that of naming Major John D. McLean, of the United States Medical Corps, as his chief of staff, gave a quick in sight into the breadth and calibre of the new administration. Major McLean, who for over two years has been a volunteer in the Army Medical- Corps, enlisting from tjte ranks of .the private practitioners, has not even to this day been able to have himself mustered out of Uncle Sam's service to accept this call from his home state. He has, however, under furlough leave been in a position to inaugurate the plans of the new regime and he hopes very shortly to be able to give all of his time to the needs of the Commonwealth. Colonel Martin is waiting to be relieved from his post in Washington, where there are over two thousand patients under treat ment, all wounded American sol diers, sailors or marines back from the other side." THE GERMAN REPUBLIC The, German Republic makes its bow from Weimar to a more or less astonished world. We aj-e glad Ger many has made the start, because a republic eventually is going to do her a lot of good. It can be handled by an aggressive military party, but not so readily as the could Someone asked John Bassett Moore, former counselor for the State Department, to what he at tributed the failure of the bright promises of the Turkish revolution. "Because the population of Turkey was the same after tho revolution that it was before," he replied. So Germany hasn't yet changed pop ulations or mental habits. But she has made a start on the road. So while we hopeful toward the future, she will pardon us, per haps, if for the present wet keep our lingers crossed. —From the Kan sus City Times.

I [ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR "Xo liecr, Xo Work" To the Editor of the Telegraph: The following is a letter that has come to me from a Philadelphia , woman whom 1 do not know and I who failed even to give her street address, but which in its contents is like other letters that have reached my office. After reading it, and realizing that this slogan, "No Beer, No Work" is the child, not of the | workingman, but of the liquor traffic in its endeavor to use the working man us a tool, who would counte nance the slogan The threatened strike on the first of July is sim ply the threat of an anarchist. The letter reads: „ February, 1919. Hear Sir—T wish to say a few Words about "no beer, no work." • How long can they be without work? Some cannot hold out a week. The victory is won. How many a manufacturer has to suf fer through employing men who drink? How many homes are full of sorrow? How many wives and childrendiavc to sufTer? Think of the crimes committed through drink. Every night you see it in the paper. Why not let us all drink something that is not intoxicating?. I put in lifteen years of my married life with a I man who drinks. I tell you it Is awful to live that way, and to raise children. Thev see their father or mother drink and thev lake to the same habit. Just think how many homes are unhappy and how many people separate ail j bec.aure of the love of drink. We do not care if we have to pay more for our things if we have to he happy. Just, for instance, take my husband. lie makes per week and gives me J] 5. And 1 have to keep three children and buy his clothes out of it. Then 1 have to pay house rent and ail the expenses. Then lie comes heme and tights. He says he wants money for drink. There are thousands and thousands of homes like that. Why not close up all the salonps for one year and see the difference? r like a glass of beer once In a while, but I would rather give it up and have a peaceful and happy home. .So dor't let "no beer, no work" frighten you. We cannot do with out food, but we can do without intoxicating drinks. I hope there will be something done before long. They tell us to save. I have seen enough things wasted and money squandered in the back rooms of a saloon. Tours respectfully, (Signed) MRS. SMITH. Philadelphia, Pa What kind of a heart and con science can any legislator liave who. after reading a plea like that will I vote for any measure which tends to the perpetuation of the thing that produces such results. B. E. P. PRCGK, Prohibition State Chairman. Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 17, 1919. NEEDS OF HIGH SPIRE To the Editor of the Telegraph: Why can't the people of Highspire have what they need? Men should be at the head of the borough busi ness affairs who are in favor of these promotions and the betterment of the little borough of Highspire. Highspire needs better fire protec tion. If Highspire had protection the Lutheran church congregation would not be homeless and there would be four more houses which went down to the wall, all on ac count of the poor system we have. I must say our borough has a tine looking tire engine and a good com pany to light fire but all is in vain on account of no water supply. Highspire could have better street lighting service and cheaper if they would own their own plant, which could happen if it were not for the hold-backs who say "no" when they could say "yes." Highspire could have better streets if "yes" would have been used instead of "no.** Highspire could and would have double street car tracks from Motter street to Whitehouse lane but "yes" waS forgotten again. Highspire peo ple would need not walk for one and two squares to please the Trac tion company if council said "no" skip stops in Highspire. Highspire people are paying more taxes than the City of Harrisburg and have nothing. 'Highspire has enough busi ness men to form a Board or Trade to get Industries for some of our unemployed in town. All these things could be accomplished if that "Yes" was used and acted upon. If the people of Highspire would sow for these things, in due season they would reap. FRANK KILLER. Wish They'd Get That Vote Another thing about woman suf frage is that a married man's wife can now blame the gov ernment.—From the Dallas News. lEifttttttg (Eljal "Dreams about the new hotel are coming true," remarked a Harrisburg business man, who was one of the boosters of the new hotel plan back in the days when such projects evoked some tolerant smiles. "All you have to do is to watch the news papers. Just look at the list of con ventions and gatherings of stato wide importance that have been held here since the first of the year and the number that are scheduled. Iheres your answer and the list will lengthen with the year. I know of a number of organisations that are arranging to meet in Harrisburg now that the problem of hotel ac commodations has been solved and mink that people around the state commencing to realize that we t f. ke sar®5 ar ® of them properly. But just think what we let get away in the way of gatherings that would have boosted Harrisburg in the last half dozen years." The Harrisburg mans view point is well taken Judg 'n.

The first reception to be tendered to the legis lators was in 1901 after the bill to move the capitol to Philadelphia had been voted down. It was arranged by representative citizens to show ap preciation of the action of the law makers in keeping the Capitol here. It was held in the old Board of Trade and was such a success that every sessioij if lias been repeated. This year Col Covert and his committee lia\e set out Jo J>reak the record. A number of stories and verses from tlie pen of Edna Groff Deilil. author of the "Aunt Este Stories - ' originated by the TELEGRAPH, have appeared in some of the late periodicals and magazines.

Two verses having lately appeared "Today and Yesterday" in the Church Advocate, are: Today T watched the bovs and girls As they strolled by to scVool; Quiet and boisterous, bright and dull The sluggard and the fool. 1 watched them as they climbed tho steps Leading to schoolhouse fine: Equipped with gym and everything Of wondrous line design.

The hominess of all! • I would 1 could go hack once more To those days beyonvf recall. Another "A Thanksgiving Prayer" appeared in "Little Folks" and is as follows: Dear Father in "leaven, we thank Thee to-day For the ones here at home, and the ones far away; We thank Thee for mothers whoso faces are bright. Who care for and cuddle us through day and night. We th'ank Tliee for fathers who went off to war, We thank Thee that such noble he roes they are!

And the people are not buying fancy ones. The old spiked collar is no longer in demand; people buy plain straps now, said he. WELL KNOWN PEOPLE —Archbishop D. J.
