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.

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.

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

Hookworm Infection Makes People

By Associated Press,
San Francisco, Nov. 24.—Dr. George
M. 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

; 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.

STORIES OF GREAT INTEREST

Much Same Manner as Would
Thrilling Novel
It was the hottest day of the har
vest. 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

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.
The New Illustrated Bible is now be
ing distributed by the Star-Independen;
for one certificate, as explained else
where in this issue. Look it up now.
