YESTERDAY'S TEMPERATURE IN HAEEISBURO Highest, 37; lowest, 2S; 8 a. m.,. 28; 8 p. m., 31. CONGRESSMAN VARES OPPORTUNITY Nobody doubts the sincerity of Governor-elect Brumbaugh. Nobody familiar with the high char acter and the fine public record of the man doubts that he is perfectly honest in his intention, declared before election and reiterated after election, to carry out his party's campaign pledges. Every body believes that he meant it when he said he will be an unbossed governor. Vet it is conceivable that. Governor Brumbaugh may find that his hands are tied, at lsas>t to some extent, when he sets about carrying out'his pledges; that he may find somebody else undertaking to control the Republican majority in the Legislature in a way to make difficult the enactment of those laws that are in the Brumbaugh program. ft is conceivable that Senator Penrose may un dertake to dictate the course of legislation and endeavor to control the Republican wing of the Legislature so that it would do the bidding of the machine instead ol' helping to carry out the Brum baugh pledges, and in this event the opportunity would present itself to Congressman William S. Vare, of Philadelphia, to swing his influence on the side of progressive legislation and to uphold the new governor's hands. That Congressman Vare may have some such idea in mind is indicated by the following statement attributed to him to-day by a Philadelphia newspaper: I believe that every pledge made in our State platform ought to be carried out. As far as lam concerned, I shall endeavor to assist in seeing that the pledges made to the people are carried out to the letter. , It is no secret that Congressman Vare has had some differences with Senator Penrose and the other reputed dictators of the destinies of the Re publican organization. Vare lias a large following in Philadelphia. He can control part of the Repub lican forces of the Legislature. It tvas evident even before election that all was not lovely between Vare and Penrose. True, differences were patched up in a way to prevent the factional feeling having any effect on the vote for the Republican state ticket on November 3, but that that feeling still Lexists is evidenced by the fact that the Vare fol lowing apd/the Penrose following from Philadel phia going to march separately in the parade city on the occasion of the inauguration of Dr. Brumbaugh as governor. There is no positive evidence that, Penrose is going to endeavor to run the Legislature to suit himself or to handicap the new Governor in the latter's determination to carry out the Brumbaugh program of progressive legislation, but should Pen rose undertake anything of the kind the opportu nity would present itself to Congressman Vare to lend his influence in the opposite direction. Con gressman Vare could, by swinging that, part of the Philadelphia legislative delegation that is friendly to him, unite with those Republican law-makers who arc independent of dictators and make it very interesting for any faction of the party which might undertake to upset the plans of the new Governor. SUPREMACY IN THE PAR EAST That the supremacy of the Far East, or, as lie says, the "hegemony," has gone to Japan, is the statement of John G. Ferguson in "The North American Review." He asserts that Japan lias gained prestige among the Asiatic states by having defeated Russia and by now declaring war on Ger many. The countries of the East no doubt iak-' pride HARRISBURG STAR- in oriental superiority whenever such a compara tively rare thing manifests itself. Between Euro pean and Asiatic domination their race prejudices would most likely prompt them to choose the lat ter. Yet it seems strange that Japan should be so soon designated as the dominant c uuiiry in the East. China's attitude toward Japan must be consid ered. Modern Chinamen, like their honored an cestors, tend to resist too much influence upon them from the outside. They resent alien domina tion, whether it be through western supremacy or eastern hegemony. Especially do Chinamen with hold any reliance upon the Japanese. If Japan is to be superior in the Far Eapt, China must be cor respondingly inferior. When China shows itself to be more submissive to Japanese leadership than it has yet manifested itself to be, when it becomes dependent upon Jap anese brains as it now is upon British finance, then only will the time seem ripe to declare the hege mony of the Far East surrendered by England to Japan. BRAINS AND PHYSIQUES . If any endorsement has as yet been given to the suggestion of Dr. Butler, president of Columbia University, that higher education be restricted to the physically fit, it has escaped our notice. The idea has been so thoroughly lampooned by the press that other educators perhaps are somewhat back ward about coming out definitely and sharing in the ridicule. What Columbia's esteemed president implied by his proposal was that since large amounts of money are spent on the education of individuals, there ought to be some assurance that these individuals do not spend their lives as invalids, or go into early graves, but that they return more than the value of their education to their communities, in personal m'V?ee. Such assurance would be desirable, surely, if it could be given by all college and university stu dents. Yet even to the sturdiest alumni of the best universities accidents may happen and expensive educations go to naught. Educators must take chances on their pupils. It would seem that the intellects and the morals of new students need to be tested more thoroughly than the physiques, if university admittance re quirements are to be raised in any desirable way. A healthy alumnus may waste his education as much as a sick one. He may even do harm with it by applying it to unprincipled uses. Good brains do not always go with good phys iques. any more than do good physiques invariably accompany good brains. Tf higher institutions of learning see to it, however, that the intellects and the morals of their students upon matriculation, are sound, they can afford to disregard the phys iques, save that there should be efforts made to improve weak men by thorough courses in physical instruction. The Czar lias shut off the vodka ill Russia. Perhaps the Kaiser tfill gee if he can call a halt on Hofbrau. The expense accounts of the Republican, Democratic. and Washington party state committees will make interesting reading. They must be filed by Wednesday of next week. President Wilson has left the Mexicans to fight it out. Meantime this government will see that its citizens are not placed at the mercy of Villa and other ambitious leaders. , 9 The state ballot now contains the names of eight parties entitled to separate columns, but another comes to the front —the Personal Liberty Party. At this rate the ballot will soon be of the dimensions of a bed quilt. Governor-elect Brumbaugh is enjoying the balmy breezes in the South and not giving the least intimation of whom he will select as members of his official family. All guesses are off until the man who has the last say is heard from.

A WHITE-FEATHER MAN Cornelius Vanderbilt on his return from Europe, said at the Yale Club: "The patriotic fervor of London is intense. Young wom en, for a while, actually went about the streets handing little white feathers to every stalwart young man who wore civilian dress. That was going a bit too far and it soon ceased. But white feathers, speaking figuratively, are still being handed out in London. Thus, in a West End club the other day, a young nut affixed a cigarette in a 16-inch amber tube, lighted up, looked about him pompous ly, and began: •«» " 'Now, if I were Sir John French ' " 'if you were Sir John French,' an old retired general interrupted, 'you'd be on the other side of the Channel doing your duty instead of gassing over a Scotch atfd soda here!'

'EPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1914. | Tongue-End Topics | v— > Stress of Stough Campaign A man .who bad 'barely caught a street car going "in town'' the other night about 7 o'clock, rushed in and as he took his seat drew a sandwich from his pocket. He began to eat it, and turning to his neighbor said: "This Stough camipaign gets a fel low on the run. I just; got home and only had time to gralb a sandwich be fore leaving for the tabernacle. I 'hate to cat supper on the car, but it's the best I' can do.'' Many other persons have been mak ing rapid disposition of their suppers in order' to reach the seene of Evan gelist Stough's activities in time for the evening meetings. Women who at tend the afternoon meetings in many instances take lunch with them, and thej' have only a short time to wait between the close of the afternoon session and the arrival of the ic'hoir for the evening performance. • , * Stough Shies at Pennies The revivalist, Who is now the ceu ter of attraction in this city, has de clared his attitude very plainly re garding pennies, or what would be the more correct term, cents. At Sunday afternoon's meeting he actually shied at them. While he was urging liberal contributions from the audience, a trickster in the press 'box "beside the platform rolled a package of twenty five coppers to the speaker's feet. Pick ing up the little cylindrical object Dr. Stough examined it carefully and said: "What's this, a cartridge! I wouldn't be surprised if it had a fuse attached to it." He handed the package unopened to Treasurer 'Heffeltinger, and Mr. Heft'el finger, being an experienced banker, at once recognized it as a roll of cents, and opened it without hesitation. ♦ * * How Dogs Act Under Tire Lovers of dogs will be gratified to know that so imposing an organization as The Institute of Zoological Psychol ogy reiports that the dogs that accom pany the French ambulances are behav ing well under fire. The director of this institute testifies: "All reports are most encouraging. Some of the details of t'heir instruc tions may 'be open to question. It is probably bad that they should be taught to bring in the ca'fs and hand derchiefs of wounded soldiers, but oar dogs of war are performing noteworthy service and it is a pity that wo have not many more of them." Dogs Attending the Wounded The leader of one section of the am bulance dogs says: "The best dog given to me at first pulled so hard 011 the leash that he tired me out; he would not always return on the first call, a trii.'k that would be un fortunate under fire; he was terrified even by distant artillery and it ap peared as if he would be useless in ac tion. But in a week that dog was val uable beyond words. I have to-day re turned with him from recovering wounded soldiers almost iu the enemy's trenches with incessant din all around ! him. To-night just 'before the ainbu- 1 iances were to return I took him out for one last inspection. In a half hour he found three soldiers who otherwise might have died of exposure. More over, ho never touched one of them but ran back and forth till I came up to him.'' * * * A School for War Dogs A writer iu "Lc Matin" claims that the Germans have 37,000 dogs mostly purchased in France that are now toe ing trained to go with the am'bulan'ces. A French society has been formed to train dogs for this work and already many dogs arc "at school." The tAmieai club of Vaugirard has offered its grounds, and many prominent physi cians statesmen and savants are en couraging the work. Coolie Labor iu War Zoue The Russian government intends to transport a large number of Chinese coolies to 'Moscow and Petrograd, as laborers are scarce in those cities on account of the war. A new cattle mar ket has 'been opened in the province of 'Hamkyong and a large exportation of cattle to Russia is taking place. The growing importance of Fusan as a ship ping center is evidenced 'by the decision to 'build another big dock and ship re pairing yard at that port. Formerly all vessels had to 'be sent to Japan for repairs. * t * Ban ou Language of Euem!e<» A patriotic campaign to bar "from Germany- all foreign names of diseases now designated with Russian, Fremcli or English terms has ibeen inaugurated 'by German medical men. It is urged that Latin or Greek terms be used if no German equivalent exists. A com mittee is suggested to draw up a list of acceptable German equivalents for the more common terms 'borrowed from the enemies' tongues. "Pa, what is "an accomplished mu sician?"

Converse, of the United States Pub lic Health Service, has returned to San Irancisco after almost three years spent in Iquitos, Peru, whither he went at the request of the Peruvian government to try to ascertain why the inhabitants of Iquitos were dying at the rate of fifty per 1,000 per annum, and why virtually the entire was always either sick or ailing. Dr. Converse journey 2.300 miles up the Amazon to reach iquitos. Yellow fever and hookworm were the diseases that caused most trouble. At least ninety per cent, of the people were suf fering from hookworm, said Dr Con verse to-day. He found the city very dirty and immediately instituted a cleauing up. There was no hospitel or facilities of any kind afforded by the municipality and the American's work was considerably handicapped. But be fore he left Dr. Converse had succeeded ?«^ lu< i lng the death '»te to 21 per 1,000, he said, and had established a well-equipped clinic which, he says, will, at the end of ten years, have suc ceeded in saving the lives of about 4 - 000 of t'he afflicted inhabitants.

Bushman——Photoplay- Thursday ; TRAFFIC IN PANAMA CANAL Largest Single Item of Cargo Passing Through Thus Far Has Been Grain for Europe By Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 24.—The largest single item of cargo passing through tie Panama canal thus far has been shipments of grain for Europe from the tinted States iPacific ports, according to the canal record. In the two mouths ana a half ending November 1 seven teen eastbound vessels passed through the canal, carrying a total of 122,258 tons of grain, consisting of 72,932 tons of barley and 4 9,326 tons of wheat. Counting 37 bushels of wheat, and 46 01 barley to the long ton, the cargo amounted tc 1,825,062 bushels of wkteat and 3,541,857 bushels of bar ley, a total of 5,179,934 bushels of I grain. The next largest single item of car go carried through the canal during the same period was nitrates, principally from Chile. This was carried in 14 vessels and amounted to 99,126 tons. The distance saved by the vessels from the United States by the use of the canal instead of the Magellan route is estimated at 5,550 miles. If the average speed of the vessels be rated at 10 knots, the saving in time at sea per vessel was 23 days. On the basis of a per diem cost of operation at sea of 10 cents per net registered ton, t'lie av erage saving iu cost of operation per vessel was $309 per day, or $7,116. The average tolls paid on 4,050 tons at $1.20 per ton were $4,860. The average net savyjg per vessel by use of the canal was accordingly $2,256.

ACCIDENT COMPENSATION FOR ONCLE SAM EMPLOYES Total Number of Claims Filed Curing Five Y«srs Federal Law Has Been in Existence Was 14,(Kill —Claims Paid Over $1,800,000 Washington, D. C., Nov. 24. —The operations of the law of May 30, 1908, providing compensation for accidonts to certain employes of the Federal Govern ment, form the subject of Bullotin No. 155 just published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of t&e United States Department of Labor. The report cov ers the period from August 1, 1908, when the law went into effect, to June 30, 1913, or praetically the first five years of its existence. This law was the pioneer general accident compensa tion law in this country, but since its enactment 24 States have made provis ion for compensation in some form, all of them, however, on a more liberal ba sis. As enacted the law covered artisans and laborers in manufacturing estab lishments, arsenals, and navy yards, riv er and harbor and fortification work, and hazardous employment in the Reclamation Service and under the Isthmian Canal Commission. Later it was extended to include all Isthmian Canal Commission employes and persons engaged in hazardous work in the Bu reau of Mines, the Lighthouse Service, and the Forestry Service. It is esti mated that 95,000 persons are covered by the provisions of the law, somewhat less than one-fourth of the civilian em ployes of the Federal Government. The act is administered by the Secretary of Labor except as it affects employes of the Isthmian Canal Commission, for whom an act of March 4, 1911, pro vided that the law should be admin istered by the chairman of that com mission. The law allows compensation only for accidents sustained in the course of employment without negligence or misconduct, causing disability exceed ing 15 days or resulting in death. Com pensation is on the basis of full wages, but payment is limited to one year oven in cases of death and total permanent disability. The total number of claims filed dur ing the first five years of the law was 14,963, of which 14,041 i were allowed, 911 disallowed, and 6 were still under consideration at the end of that period. Of the cases allowed 437 were for fatal accidents. The total compensation paid for all accidents during the five years amounted to over $1,800,000. Of this more than $732,000 was paid to (i,315 employes of the Isthmian Canal Com mission. In the fiscal year 1912-13 the aver age compensation reported for 3,320 nonfatal and 56 fatal cases was $106.96 and $661.12, respectively. Of the nonfatal cases 996 were Isthmian Canal Commission employes, who are largely unskilled and are exposed to great hazard, and 2,324 were employes of other departments the two groups re ceiving an average of $93.64 and $112.66 respectively. Of the fatal cases 11 were Isthmian Canal and 4 5 other employes, the compensation aver aging $410.77 and $722.31, respective ly. The failure to recognize permanent partial disability on a different basis from disability from which there is complete recovery results in very inade quate compensation in many cases. Thus, fractures of an arm or leg led to compensation payments of less than $25, the loss of an eye between $25 and SSO, and in a case of the loss of a right arm the injured workman re ceived less than SSO, while in three eases of the loss of both legs, occurring during the thiird year, the average com pensation was $377.40. The small amounts of compensation under this act, when comparel with compensation under tlio various State workmen's compensation laws, are due to the fact that under the Federal law compensation payments limited to usual wages must cease when the injured em ploye is able to resume work, and in any case can not continue beyond 12 months. Under the more recentiy enact ed State laws compensation, usually on the basis of one-half or two-thirds the average wages, is paid in case of tem porary disability during disability, or in case of death or permanent disabil ity for a period extending to six years, and in several States to eight years.

Watch for Happy Hooligan, Friday $40,000 IN SCRAP YARD Valuable Copper Plates Stolen From a Freight Car By Associated Press, Duluth, Minn., Nov. 24. —On No vember 4, 1913, a freight car contain ing more than SIOO,OOO worth of Mon tana copper anodo plates appeared in the Northern Pacific railroad yards in Duluth. One day later the car reap peared with $40,000 worth of the plates missing. To-day the piateE were located in the yard of a local scrap iron company and George K.

The sun ->f that eastern land was burning in the fields when the boy of the household sought his father and the reapers in the field. He no sooner reaches them than he throws his hands to his head and erie.* aloud: ''My head, my head." We can imagine the alarm of the father, but he did what many a father has done since his day—relieved him self of the responsibility by saying to his servant: "Carry him to bis mother." It was a sad procession, a white faced little boy, struck with death, in the arms of the reapers, a sad j faced father following after. The foregoing is not part of a story ''to Ibe continued in our next." It is simply an excerpt fiom the interesting "helps" in the New Illustrated Bi'ble, which is being distributed by the Star- Independent. These are original arti cles prepared by eminent scholars of world fame and should be known a< educational helps, for they not only take up the history and geography of Bible lands, but also deal with the problem of properly teaching the strange and interesting stories of this great Book of Books. One need not belong to a religious organization to appreciate the educa tional morits of the Bible. As an cr.- ample of good literature it stands alone. It is more widely read and quoted than any other work ever pun lished, and one cannot 'be said to have completed one's education without hav ing read it.
