THE NPOLITI
CAL PENDULUM
The political pendulum is a delicate
instrument, and no one knows it bet
ter than the man who has made poli
tics a life-long profession. It is
swung by every breeze, no matter
how light or seemingly insignficant
that breeze may blow. The politician
watches that peudulum as closely as a
hawk watches a fat rooster upon
which it hopes to make a midday
meal. Incidents of national life that
would ordinarily pass by unnoticed
by the average person are taken by
the professional politician and warped
and distorted into "issues" of supreme
importance to the country. The men
who have "aspirations" in the poli
tical line never let an opportunity
pass to make political capital.
That such a condition is unfortun
ate, or that we are burdened with too
many politicians of the pinliead class,
is a fact that is patent to anybody
who takes a lively interest in national
aHairs. We have about reached that
stage in our national life where one
Representative or one Senator can
block important legislation for weeks
and months by raising or making an
"issue" that at best really interests
only a hundred or so of the voters
whom he hopes to influence with his
harangue. Everything that one of
this class of politicians does is done
with an eye singular to the effect that
it will have upon the voters of the
country in the event that he is "call
ed" to lead his party in a national
campaign and election, rather than
the good or bad effect that it will
have upon the country generally.
Bills that are introduced in Congress
are judged not from the stand point
of merit or public good, but from the
stand point of partisan, vote-getting
politics. Indeed, the making of po
litical capital and campaign thunder
has become such an active industry ill
the halls of Congress that its manu
facture is not confined exclusively to
the material that is offered in the
various bills presented for Congress
ional consideration and action. In
cidents and events with which Con
gress has little or nothing to do are
dragged into the limelight through
»}•?. ?pi?r
political mill and ground into pieces
fine and small enough to furnish
every voter in the country a crumb of
political comfort. The people may
get tired of politics, but the politicians
never do.
The people had reason to expect
something of this session of Congress,
but as the days and weeks pass with
practically nothing dene in the upper
house, it begins to be apparent that
C2rtain members of that body intend
to do nothing but manufacture politi
cal buncombe for the campaign two
years hence. It's an oft year in poli
tics everywhere except in Washing
ton. There we have politics always,
or rather we have politicians who
seemingly don't know when the coun
try is surfeifed with the article and
who believe that their own political
fortunes are of greater moment to the
country than the most important leg
islation ever offered.
They won't let the political pendu
lum remain stationary long enough
for those Congressmen who have the
interests of their constituents really at
heart to do anything worth while.
By and by—maybe—the political
pendulum is going to swing back and
knock some of these small-bore politi
cians into the oblivion with which
they should forever be enveloped.
— ln his efiorts to acquire all the
railroads of the country, Mr. Ilarri
man was perhaps ouly trying to beat
the Government to it.
-—The railroads of the country
don't seem to need a new system of
signals half as much as they need a
competent corps of signalers.
— lt seems that we will have
trouble over those Indian lands as
long as we have Indians and lands.
The "grafter" these days thinks the
"good Indian" is the lauded In
dian.
— Judging frim the attitude of
nearly every legislature that has ex
pressed itself this year, King Booze
is a decidedly unpopular individual,
but King Boodle still gets a glad
hand once in a while.
— ln attempting to reform Wash
ington, Aunt Carrie Nation has tack
led a hard job sure enough, but it is
hoped she won't find it necessary to
whet her hatchet on Washington's
mortuinent every morning.
— Franc*: urging little Japan to
goto war somehow or other reminds
one of that old story about the mon
key urging the cat" to let him have
the use of her paw while he raked a
few roasted chestnuts from the fire.
— lt would appear, from the inter
pretation placed upon our wonderful
primary election law, as if a man
simply had to be a candidate, whether
lie wanted to be or not, if a sufficient
number of his friends filed a certifi
cate to that effect. Down in Phila
delphia the County Commissioners
give the unwilling citizen fortyeight
hours to escape, but not so in Montour.
Here if a certificate is filed the candi
date is in for it, willing or unwilling.
It is certainly a queer law, rendered
additionally queer by a peculiar inter
pretation. (
MONEY
IS KING.
The Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment announces a need of obtaining
two hundred millions, half in stools
and half in bonds, in addition to its
present investment, making a total
of five hundred millions of stock and
nearly three hundred millions of
bonds, an aggregate which would
have been startling a little while
ago, but in this age of thousand mil
lions corporations isMiot remarkable.
The Pennsylvania railroad was
taken by President Cassatt into a new
and rapid gait, which he deemed to
be needful in these fast times to keep
it in the forefront; and there is
abundant reason to believe that the
changing conditions called for the
pace. The other great railroad com
panies started to swell and to com
bine in a manner that has made the
fashion, and calls for the abolition of
the little fellows, and requires the
big ones to do fast work in the
game of grab so vigorously inaugu
rated.
To stay in this game there has been
lately demand from all directions for
additions of hundreds of millions of
capital; and the people who have
money to lend have the comfortable
assurance of profitable demand for it
for a Jong time to come. The day of
low interest has evidently passed for a
season, and money is king.
Maybe when Congress gets to work
upon the report of these gay and
rapid railroad dances there may be
an end shown to the tremendous
pace; until then we may profitably
hold our hands amid our wonder.
—A MORE or less distinguished
theorist, having nothing else to do,
has figured it out that the decadence
of the mother-in-law joke is due to
the fact that there are less mothers-in
law now than there used to be.
Whether he is right or not, it is an
indisputable fact that most any kind
of a mother-in-law is more sensible
than the jokes perpetrated about her.
— ALTHOTGJI the city of New York
covers an area of about twenty-two
square miles, and we are accustomed
to think it is all densely built over,
such is really not the case. During
the past five years 1 (i, 1 58 flat houses
were built, providing homes for near
ly six hundred thousand people. The
cost of these buildings alone was
§390,000,000, while the land on
which they stand was itself worth
twice that sum. The investment to
house caeli individual dweller was
31,710. If eai)h renter had paid, on
an average, ten per cent, oil the cost
of housing him his rent would have
been about 8171. And yet, with all
this building going on, the city's area
is not yet built up, but there are still
many vacant lots for future dwellers
to build upon.
What Women Really Want.
Resenting the claim that women
and need to lie emancipated, Bishop
Staug declared at a meeting of the
Catholic Union in Boston, recently,
that the question now being put bv
various phases of socialism as to what
shall be the position of woman is bas
ed on the false assumption that up to
HOW she has been deprived of the
chance of developing and utilizing her
faculties of soul and body. Insisting
that good women wish only to love
and obey, the bishop considers spas
modic declarations of woman's inde
pendence as a moral epidemic border
ing on insanity. lie fears that it is
only the female ot the modern culture,
as she is called, with her head cram
med full of undigested knowledge and
her heart blinded by man who cannot
understand woman's lofty aspira
tions—she who cannot find the right
sort of man to appreciate her. Con
fidence marks the prelate's belief that
the true Christian women of the
land—the anxious mothers, the af
fectionate daughters and the sweet
sisters—those guardian angels of our
homes and cheerful companions of
our life—prefer to remain as God
made them—women. Knowing (rod's
order in society, they cheerfully and
willingly submit to the firm and wise
direction of man. The great church
man finds the cause of woman's dis
satisfaction in the unworthy conduct
of so many men—in the rapidly in
creasing number of male loafers aud
volunteer bachelors. The good
bishop is not far wrong when he says
that what the world needs most is
strong Christians, who are willing to
use their brains and muscles to pro
vide for women, and when this is
done, the woman's question and the
great social question are solved, for
then women will leave public life and
return to the happy home.— Brockton
(Mass.) Times.

New Stats Capitol, Sean From the West.
GREAT PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT
i
Extension of Capitol Grounds at
Harrlsburg a Prime Necessity, j
MUST BE NOW OR NEVER
Opportunity to Secure Proper Setting
For Splendid State Houss Will ,
Never Come Again.
Harrisburg, Jan. 15. During the
present week a bill will be Introduced
In the upper house of the state legis
lature by Senator John E. Fox to pro
vide for the enlargement of the
grounds surrounding the new state
eapitol by clearing off all the buildings
In the section lying between the pres
ent eapitol grounds and the Pennsyl- j
vania railroad and extending from j
Walnut street on the south to North
street on the north.
This tract which contains about 14 J
acres of land, exclusive of the streets
which intersect it. will more than
double the site of the park.
More than GO,OOO persons, since the \
eapitol was dedicated in the presence
of the president of the United States j
on October 4 last, have come to Har
risburg to see it.
It is safe to say that not one of these
60,000 men nnd women from all parts
of the commonwealth failed no note j
that the grounds surrounding it are j
inadequate for the magnificent eapitol
which has cost the people of Pennsyl
vania about $13,000,000.
Whether the capitol has cost too
much and whether the money has
honestly and providently expended are
questions that will be determined offi
cially during Governor Stuart's admin
istration. But whatever way those
questions are answered, the fact re
mains that Pennsylvania has the most
beautiful, the most dignified, the most
magnificent state capitol, externally
and internally, of any state in the
Union.
The people who are acquainted
with the conditions in Harrisburg, un
derstand that if the new capitol is
ever to have a proper setting In
grounds commensurate with and
worthy of the building and of the great
commonwealth containing 74)00,000
people to whom this building belongs,
now is the time to secure it.
The territory which it is prosposed
to take is covered, generally speaking,
is estimated to acquire the whole sec
tion, clear it of buildings, will cost not
more than $1,500,000; but these condi
tions will not continue.
The land lies adjacent to the main
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and if the state not take the
property it is Inevitable that in a very
short time it will be built up with
great \s rehouses and extensive manu
factories.
Then the opportunity to secure It will
be gone forever and Pennsylvania's
splendid capitol will be absolutely shut
off from view from tlie east as Phila
delphia's $25,000,000 city hall Is now
hemmed In. shut off and dwarfed by
great buildings.
Millions of passengers pass through
Harrisburg every year on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad without leaving the cars
to walk about the city. If the pro
posed extension of capitol park is made
they can all get a splendid view of
the magnificent capitol as they pass
through on the train.
You readers, practically all of whom
will pass through the capital city some
day, do you want to get a fair, com
prehensive view of the state house
that has cost the people $1.1,000,000 as
you pass, or do you want to catch a
glimpse of it through some narrow,
Turner's Alley; Characteristic View of
the Section It is Proposed to Take
For the Enlargement of Capitol Park
squalid alley, such as Is shown In th '
accompanying picture, which Is fairly
characteristic of the whole section
which it is proposed to clear off and
make Into an extension of the park?
Fcrty years ago Philadelphia could
havs secured a setting for its city hall
from 15th street on the west to 13th
( reel on the east, and from Arch
street on the north to Chestnut street
on the south, for a comparatively small
sum of money. Probably $50,000,000
could not buy it now.
Seventy-five yea»s ago the whole sec
tion lying between the present capitol
park In Harrisburg and the Susque
hanna river- which. If cleared of all
buildings, and it contained the finest
residences and most magnificent
churches in the capitol, could not now
be bought foV less than $4,000,000 or
$5,000,000 —was offered to the state au
thorities for $35,000.
Our forefathers, in their blindness,
thought the price was more than the
state could afford to payf
If we neglect the great opportunity
now offered to secure the land on the
other side of the capitol, when It can
bo bought for a very moderate sum,
we shall commit as great a blunder as
the state authorities did 75 years ago.
A bill similar to that which will be
introduced by Senator Fox this week
was introduced in the legislature of
1905, and passed the sena f ,e unani
mously. The lieutenant governor of
the state, the president pro tem. of
the senate, the speaker of the* house,
and many of tho leading memlers of |
bofti houses, at a put) He me#Wng, ne
clared themselves at that time enthu
siastically in favor of the measure.
It would undoubtedly have passed
tho house without a dissenting voice
as it passed the senate, had the word
not gone out just before it was ex
pected the bill would come up in the
liouce that the auditor general doubt
ed whether the funds in the treasury
would be sufficient to meet the require
ments of the schools and all the char
itable and penal institutions, asylums,
hospitals and colleges, and the other
regular expenses of government, and
leave enough to provide for the en
largement of the capltol park.
The event proved that the auditor
general was mistaken; a magnificent
surplus was left in the treasury, and
it has been gradually growing ever
since. The revenues of the state were
never so great as now. There are and
will bo ample funds to meet this ex
penditure and all other legitimate ex
penses of every kind.
Moreover, the money will not all
have to be expended in one year, but
will run over a period of three or four
years, as It will take at least that
length of time to acquire the grounds,
clear them ofT, c hange" the lines of the
streets and transform this now rather
unsightly section into a magnificent
extension of capltol park.
All should remember that this im
provement will be made by a commis
sion to be appointed by Edwin S. Stu
art. whom the people last fall, having
confidence in his patriotism and high
purpose, elected to the great office of
governor.
This commission will not be made
up of citizens of Harrisburg, but will
be selected by the governor from the
sections of the state where he can find
men best suited for the duties. None
of the money will be required this
year, as the commission cannot, under
t lie most favorable circumstances,
more than fairly start the work. All
that can be done during the next 32
months will be for the 'legislature to
pass the bill, the governor to select
the members of the commission and
for the commission to get the matter
fairly under way.
The money required for this pur
poso will not in any way encroach
upon the appropriation for schools or
good roads, the maintenance of all
state and semi-state charitable and
correctloiiary institutions, the proper
conduct of the state government or any
' r»tl\er proper enterprise that the legis-
J lature in its wisdom shall determine
, upon.
This is an improvement which every
—-dnt4i uUuuld work fop.
and it may be confidently averted that
every citizrn who is acquninted with
the situation will earnestly advocate

Peggy Hall sat among her shattered
household idols and wept.
The particular idol which she hail
elected to moisten with bitter tears was
a small desk of mission wood, around
which had centered her happy house
hold Interests. llow she had kept her
-accounts, calculating with infinite
pains her steadily reduced living ex
penses! Ami she had written to the
little town in New England letters
which fairly brimmed with the content
ment she had found in her life in the
bustling city which would have terri
fied most girls from her native village.
l or she had been content—nay, more,
she had been happy. She had done
her I est, too, to make things move
smoothly, but now—
No, she would not say that she hated
Kit and Lucy, but she did think they
were playing a very small part. Then
she dried her eyes, pulled out her bank
book and a sheet of blank paper and
began to figure. At the end of fivo
minutes down went her head again,
and this time a sheet of paper sprin
kled all over with relentless figures re
ceived the flood of tears.
Perhaps at tills time Kit and Lucy,
who worked in the suit department of
Keith & Blank's store, felt a bit un
happy too. It was a rainy, depressing
May, and customers were few. The
lloorwalkeK went downstairs to con
sult with the head of the advertising
department, so Kit and Lucy stood
shoulder to shoulder In the big square
window overlooking the rain swept
street. . I
"I never dreamed she'd take It so
hard," remarked Kit, with slight asper
ity in her voice.
"Why, she just acted as If we were
cheating or d>lux something dishon
est," assented Lucy in aggrieved ac
cents. "I'm sure we haven't hurt the
furniture, and the company has had
more than rent on It. They'll polish It
up and sell It for new."
"I don't think it was the furniture
exactly.'*! said Kit. "Peggy Is Just
crazy about keeping house, but for my
part I don't think girls in business have
any right to do housework. I got so I
just hated to think of going home and
waiting 011 myself."
"Mrs. Hopkins says we can have our
old room back at the same figure. She
knew we'd get sick of light housekeep
ing. She says the head bookkeeper at
Alnsley's has the second story back,
and he plays the piano splendidly.
Maybe we can get up some Friday j
night dances."
"Well, anyhow, I'm glad we're giving
up the apartment. Peggy makes love
ly salad dressing and fudge, but I can't
make a bod decently, so housekeeping
was a mistake so far as I am con
cerned."
Talking in this strain, each imagined
that she was convincing herself, if not
her companion, th:it they had treated
Peggy in a perfectly fair way and
were altogether justified in their posi
tion Down In their hearts they did
not feel quite comfortable, and neither
could forget the pathetic figure they
had left in their small living room.
Peggy, Kit and Lucy had met at a
noonday lunch room in the days when
Peggy was working In a fashion syn
dicate ofllce for $lO a week. A kin
dred spirit of homesickness lmd
brought them together, and when Peg
gy had pushed her way to the point
where she could afford a tiny studio
of her own and command regular or
ders she had fled the offices of the fash
ion syndicate and had asked the girls
to start up a small establishment with
her. They had selected an apartment
with ii northern exposure for Peggy's
work, furnished it on the Installment
plan, and for a time all went well.
Peggy, being most domestic In bet*
Instincts, picked up the burden of
household management, and in time
the Other two girls not only depended
upon her for managing the little estab
lishment, but failed to do their share of
the work. in her first enthusiasm
Peggy bore this meekly, but very soon
she found that the housework Inter
fered with her work at the easel. She
ran behind on her orders, and then,
diplomatically and kindly, she took up
i the question with her housemates. Kit
and Lucy promptly announced that
they were disappointed lu the house
keeping scheme, and they would be
only too glad to return to boarding,
where working girls belonged. If she
wanted to pay the re*t on the furni
ture and keep the flat open for herself,
they would not begrudge what they
had spent.
And that was just what Peggy found
she could not do—meet tln^*rent and
furniture payments. She sat up, wiped
her eyes and figured some more. The
girls were leaving Saturday, the rent
was paid for two weeks longer, and
the collection day for the furniture
cempany was ten days distant. She
would enjoy It while nhe might. Pei
haps within the fortnight— She shook
her head. It was no use to depend
upon girl chums.
She felt somehow that Che furniture
company would get the best of the
bargain, and yet she would be break
ing her word for the first time In her
brief business history, and tills hurt.
Henry Brtghtwell. with a clipping
from the want ad. columns of a morn
ing paper, stepped Into the collection
office of the Jones & Grab Furniture
company.
"I don't know what yo*r Job Is," he
said earily as the chief collector mo
tioned him t<> a chair and looked' hlin
! over shrewdly, "but I'm sober. Indus
trious and strong, and I want work—
! any kind to get a start."
"You look as if you might do," re
! plied the collector dryly. "Rut looks
I don't count much in this business. It's
1 your ability to get the money or the
1 goods. We sell furniture on the in
stallment plan. A lot of people forget
the last few installments. That's where
our profits come In. You get the last
: payments or the furniture. We don't
1 care which. Want to try It?"
"Yes," replied Hrightwell proinpUy.
' "When do you want me to begin?"
"Right now."
And after a brief discussion of terms,

sor.
I He ran down the list. "Moore,
I Greenwich, Hall," an within a block
of each other. Moore and Greenwich
were marked as "slow." The name of
Hall had this memo, written after it:
"Hear that two of the family have
skipped out. Expect trouble."
It was characteristic of Rrigtitwell
that lie started at the hard end of the
game u.m rang inv nt-n uiauea nan.
, He climbed the narrow stairs and
flung back his shoulders as he rang the
private bell on the second floor.
"Is Mrs. Hall in? Peggy—why, Peg
try Hall!" he exclaimed. Then he step

behind him.
"I I thought It was the furn—
i Henry nrightwell. what are you doing
here? However is your mother getting
along without you?"
She had led the way Into the tiny
living room and now stood regarding
him with a severe bole not at all In
keeping with the s >;:g her heart was
singing.
"I decided that Alf was big euough
to look after mother and that If I ever
won you I'd have t > follow you to New
York and ma Re good, as you have done,
or you'd grow away from me."
Peggy's gaze fell. Ilenry bad never
told her he loved her or wanted to
win her. but of course she had thought-
He drew her very close. Perhaps he
had recognized tills as the psycholog
icall moment.
"I struck a job ttie first place I went,
Peggy, dear. 1 think I can make my
way here. Will you help me?"
Fifteen minutes later he remembered
the firm of Jones & Grab.
"I guess I'd better be moving on. I
was looking for a family by the name
of Hall that owes my firm some
money"—
Peggy turned scarlet.
"I'm the Hall, and I can't pay you.
The girls," her eyes snapped—"the girls
went back 011 me."
Ilenry Hrightwell sat down very sud
denly 011 the sofa on which $7.50 was
yet due.
"Well, what do you think of that?"
Then his face cleared. Yankee shrewd
ness asserted Itself. lie began to fig
ure, and Peggy helped him.
That afternoon 110 walked Into the
ofllce of the collection department and
laid down his book and a roll of bills.
"Moore and Greenwich paid up to date.
Miss Ilajl I* up Against it. Iler two
partners skipped and loft her with all
the furniture 011 her hands. She wants
to keep it if she can. There's $1)7.50
still due. Will you let me compromise
with her for £7." cash?"
"Sure," said the collector.
"I kind of thought you would, so I
took the $75 while she was In the
frame of mind. You never can tell how
women will jump, you know."
"You're all right, young man. You
can have a berth here as long as you
keep up this pace."
The head bookkeeper from Alnsley's
did not find Mrs. Hopkins' select board
ing house to his liking, and the Friday
evening dances never materialized, but
sometimes when Kit and Lucy want a
real pleasant evening they goto the
Hrightwell apartment, where there are
aHvays guests worth meeting. Then
they go back to the third story front,
with Its cheap brass beds and moth
eaten hangings, and one says to the
other:
"Well, of course we get no credit for
