Brum baugh was inaugurated to-day as Governor of Pennsylvania. The big parade was a great success 1 and what probably was the largest crowd that ever attended an inauguration here entered into the I holiday spirit of the occasion and had a thoroughly ' happy time. Next for consideration come the more serious affairs of state. The new Governor and the new Legislature will plunge right into the work of taking up for consideration the readjustments in the affairs of the Commonwealth that are con ceded to be necessary. The inaugural address of Dr. Brumbaugh is a straight-from-the-shoulder utterance which com promises with no one. It has the same ring that Dr. Brumbaugh's utterances had before election ami contains the same definite promises that he made when lie was in ipiest of votes. Closer analy sis of the Governor s remarks will, perhaps, be more appropriate later, but it can be said in passing that the new Governor's inaugural speech, taken as a whole, makes a decidedly favorable impression on those who honestly hope for a clean, uiffeossed administration of the state's affairs in the next four years. » POLISH AUTONOMY The forming of the Polish National Council in AN arsaw, which is supposed to develop into a Parlia ment of Poland if the people are given. the inde pendence promised them by the Czar, is a step toward new rule in the once powerful kingdom, and whether it leads anywhere or not, it is a step of some importance. In a prepared statement the council savs, addressing the natives of Russian, German and Austrian Poland: Countrymen, for a hundred years boundaries have divided us. This war abolishes those boun daries and opens a radiant morrow of reunion to our nation, which in spirit never suffered itself to be divided." Ihe actions of the council of course have the sanction of the Russian government, for it is ex pected that by the promise of freedom the natives of German and Austrian Poland may be induced to join the Poles ol Russian and thus give assistance to the Czar in the battles still to be fought on Polish soil. It appears strange that Poles should fight for Russia, which has so persecuted them, but if they unite on the Czar's side, their purpose would be, not to protect Russian interests.—although that ! would be in part a result,—but principally to gain Polish autonomy. The Czar has promised the reunion of Poland and complete independence, and the natives seem to be taking him at his word. Some of them have been expressing sentiments to the effect that they prefer to aid and trust the Russians because the mentality of the Russians is most like their own, declaring that the two peoples have not formerly been enemies by race or by principles but only by reason of peculiar conditions. From which we may ! assume that the Poles will not only fight for the j Russians, if by so doing they are fighting for their own independence, but that they could even love their former oppressors if they were not so unfor * v . > HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 19. 1915, tunately situated as to be under the Czar's much disliked rule. Whichever side wins in the war, and whatever treaties are made, a reunited Poland should be granted autonomy. The land of Poland's former glory, now Russian, German and Austrian territory, has been ravaged in recent months by great armies, and millions of the natives are starving. Poland, since it had no voice in the matter, did nothing directly to bring on the conflict from which it is suffering, and after it emerges,—devastated but blameless, —the only fitting recompense that can be given it is the independence for which it is now hopefully preparing. GOOD WORK OF THE FIREMEN It was astonishing how many persons in Market Square last night thought they knew more about handling the big fire there than the firemen who were engaged in the task. One could not go any where in the big crowd without encountering some body willing to tell how things ought to be done, — possibly for his own enjoyment; hardly for any one else's. Many on-lookers, of course, kept their eyes open and their mouths closed and were, to all appear ances, satisfied with the intelligent work of the fire-fighters, offering no objections and vouchsafing no suggestions. However, whenever the firemen Started a fresh attack on the flames from a new vantage point there were plenty of the idle ones among the spectators ready and willing to tell how in their judgment it could be done better. If all their alleged valuable suggestions had been followed by the men on the ladders and at the nozzles there would doubtless have been little chance of saving the block. Chief Kindler ami his smoke-eaters had to fight one of the most dangerous fires in the history of Harrisburg and they are to be congratulated to a man on their efficient work which confined the flames to the Kaufman stores and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property in a most thickly congested business section. BUILDING BRIDGES FOR YOUTH There is something appealing about that story, whenever it is told, of the old man who approached a chasm in the twilight of his life and crossed it with case, but before he went onward, built a bridge across it, —not because he would ever pass that way again and might it, but because younger men were coming after him who might not be able to get over the dangerous place as easily as had lie. lie was offering assistance to youth, magnanimously planning for posterity. In the twilight of a life, after a broad experience in the things and the ways of the world, many things are known which in the dawn of a life are not even guessed at, yet this knowledge born of ex perience is good for nothing when the power to use it is gone, unless it is utilized in the building of bridges over which possessoi-s of fresh energies may pass,—the youth of the time. Yes, if age but had the power and youth the ex perience, wonders might be accomplished. Even the fulfillment of only one of these conditions would have its possibilities. Youth cannot give age power, yet age can to some extent give youth the benefit of experience. By spanning chasms with bridges after they have successfully made their way across, old men aid the progress of the human race by en abling the succeeding generations to advance farther than can their own. The dreams which old men dream are not made of such stuff as are the visions which young men see, and it may be difficult sometimes for the two extremes in life's course mutually to understand each other. Yet if the old men aid the young men to the best of their knowledge of youth's needs and desires; guide them and direct them and build bridges for them, the young men will profit by the assistance to the best of their understanding, and, it is certain, will never miss the opportunities to cross the bridges and forge ahead. Governor Brumbaugh's smile was contagious. Nobody tried any monkey business vritli the State Police. And now we will expect great thing* from the National League. It will be up to the Harrisburg Tri-Btate tenin to prove it can win a pennant even without the aid of u Cockill (— Chief Kinfller's men have demonstrated to the inaugural visitors that they are good fire fighters as well as good paraders. Harrisburg's firemen in the parade this afternoon did not look any the worse for wear from the fact that they fought the big Market Square blaze all last night. TOLD IN LIGHTER VEIN KEEPING HER WORD "Yes," she confessed, "Paul proposed at the Christmas party and I accepted him." "Why," said the girl beside her, "you told me positively that if Paul proposed to you your answer would be a word of two letters!" The other girl, blushing a little, said softly: "But I answered Paul in German."—Exchange. IF I COULD If the world were mine I would give to you One half of the green and one-half of the blue; You should have of ocean and land and sky Exactly as much, my good friend, as I. If only the'gold of fhe world were mine I would lump it all in its sheen and shine, And cutting the smallest coin in two, Divide, to a penny, my wealth with you. If all life's good fortune were in my hold, On your path, my friend, it would soon unfold. You should share with me in the things that bless, Till naught could add to your happiness.

Adv. Tongue-End Top ics The Telephone in Surgery Tlie use of the telephone as an aid to surgery by communicating M the op erator the noise of contact of knife, foreeps or probe with foreign bodies imbedded in the flesh has been perfect ed by Sir James Mackenzie Davidson, who says his method will do much to simplify military surgery. The X-ray, says Sir James, has serious limitations. It shows the presence of the foreign bod)', but gives no idea of the depth this body has penetrated or of its rela tion to the parts among which it has lodged. Surgeons often fail to find the object seen in silhouette on the fluores cent screen. Uses a Potato to Illustrate It is not necessary to have a man full of shrapnel brought from the trenches to demonstrate the use of tHie telephone in surgery, as'a potato and a nail do quite as well. The surgeon uses a double pair of receivers, such as worn by wireloss operators. One of the telephone wires is attached to a piece of platinum foil. In a real operation this foil is held in on the patient's skin by plaster or bandage. In the experi ment the potato is dipped into salt wa ter and placed on the foil. To the end of the other telephone wire is attached a small, sterilized silver wire, wihich in turn is made fast to the knife, prtfbe, needle or forceps used in sounding the wound or incision. Leaving Metal in Bodies W lien .the surgeon 's instrument touches metal, whether in flesh or in a potato, a distinct and unmistakable grating noise results. This meiws the toieigu body is discovered. There ex ists a popular fallacy that it is acces sary to remove not only bullets, but every scrap of metal from the wound; but experience has -hown that the hu man body does not mind a little metal, and the removal of bullets is olteu too dangerous to attempt. Chocolate Soldiers " We call the Germans the Chocolate Soldiers," writes a soldier from the tront, *' because they appear to be al ways eating chocolate. When they at tack us or are attacked, when they are wouuded oi sick, by night and day, it s all the same We have found some of their dead with cakes of choco late between their fingers. During one of our Christmas armistices one of the German soldiers told me that the choco late ration l.ad been recommended by scientists as a convenient and exceed ingly nutritious food, alid had sus tained them very well in some of their long marches where other foods were not available." Keeping the Cellars Warm The action ot' the Duchess of Marl borough in having the roof of Sunder land House fortitied against aerial at tacks Ims started a fushion that has spread far from Mayfair. Guests in a private hotel in Kensington recently appealed to the proprietor to keep the cellars of the hotel permanently warmed, so they would find things com fortable in event of i Zeppelin raid. It is reported that thrifty London householders with extra cellar space have sublet it at so much per raid. This business has been stimulated by the warning of the War Office that in event of a German bombardment peo ple should get underground. SOCIALISTS WANT SPEEDY TERMINATION OF THE WAR Copenhagen, Jan. 19, via London, 11.45 A. M. —Three resolutions were passed unanimously at the closing ses sion in Copenhagen to-day of the con ference of Socialists of neutral coun tries, which opened here last Sunday. The first resolution declares it to be the duty of all Socialists to work for a speedy declaration of peace, the terms of which shall provide a basis for in ternational disarmament. It also calls upon the International Socialist Bureau at Berne to convoke a meeting of all Socialist parties at the beginning of pea*e negotiations to take an advisory part therein. The second resolution proposes that all Socialist parties of neutral countries urge their respective governments to consider the possibility of offering mediation to the belligerents with the view of a lasting pea^ce. The third protests against the arrest of five members of the Kussian Duma, who met to draft a report for the pres ent conference Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Hol land have been represented at this con ference by four delegates each and Italy by one. No delegates attended from the United States and Switzer land. Yesterday the conference adopted a resolution protesting against Ger many's violation of Belgian rights and calling upon aill Socialist parties to laibor to bring the war to a speedy end.

I ROTARTANS TOLD ABOUT LIFTERS JD LEFTNERS President Mulholland and Secretary Perry of International Association Speak at Rotary Club Dinner— Weekly Luncheons Favored The Harrisburg Rotary Club at a din : tier last night jj* the banquet hall of the ' Harriijburg Club had ns its guests Frank L. Mulholland, of Toledo, presi dent of the International Association of Rotary Clubs, and Chesley R. Perry, of both of whom spoke on the ideals and the actual accom pJi&hments of Rotary. Mr. Perry pointed out that of the 154 Rotary clubs which have been or ganized in different localities, not ono has given up- its charter, but all are prospering and becoming powerful in their respective communities. "Be good for something,'' was the theme of a stirring talk given by Mr. Mulholland. He mentioned the two classes nf persons, "the lifters and the leaners." and gave both some atten tion, emphasizing the amount of good that the lifters can do. "Above all, don't be a knocker," he said, "I distinguish between a knock er and a kicker. A kicker has to exi*t sometimes, to accomplish needed re forms. But a knocker is a fellow no body has much use for. You may have seen crowds after a knocker, but you never saw crowds gather around a knocker.'' "An optimist is a man who, out of the lemons which are handed him, makes delicious lemonade. A pessimist is a fellow who, when he is offered the choice of two evils, takes them both." A need in the local Rotary Club) pointed out by President Mulholland was that ol' weekly luncheons. Monthly luncheons have been tried, but weekly gatherings were urged last night, and j when an expression of opinion was call ed for, practically ever member present i expressed himself in favor of the plan,! which is carried out successfully in oth-< er cities. CROWDS AT NEW THEATRE Many Turned Away at the Regent on Opening Night The entrance to the new Regent The atre, 410 Market street, illuminated for the first time, attracted much atten tion at the opening last night and largo numbers could not gain entrance to the building. There were two shows dur-1 ing the evening, andthe total attend ance was more than 3,300. After appropriate remarks by Philip Moyer, a ten-dollar gold piece was pre sented to Miss Mabel Wiess, who named the theatre. The Regent is a big attraction for the crowds to-day, and .thousands more are getting their first glimpses of the interior of the new building. 50 Years in the Bailroad Service Robert J.

Cured HisRUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have pass ed and the rupture lias never returned, although 1 am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may And a complete cure without operation, If you write to me. Eugene M.

HOWARD WERT No. 3io. „ My Wife and Ch . ld „ ' By General Henry R. Jackson The tattoo beats, the lights are gone; From every dapger, every foe, The camp around in slumber lies; O God, protect my wife and child! ,ihe nights, with solemn pace, moves on, Ihe shadows thicken o'er the skies. Now, while she kneels before thy throne, But sleep my weary eyes has flown, O teach her, Ruler of the Skies, And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. That, while by thy behest alone ri, • i n, • r-* » Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise, I think of thee, O dearest one. No tear is wept to thee unknown, V\ hose love my early life hath blest; No hair is lost, no sparrow dies. Of thee and him —our baby son— Who slumbers on thy gentle breast. That thou canst stay the ruthless hands uod ot the tender, frail and lone, Ot' dark disease, and soothe its pain: O, guard the tender sleeper's rest. That only by thy sterm command ... , The battle's lost, the soldier's slain: And hover gently, hover near That from the distant sea or land Jo her whose watchful eyes is wet— Thou bring'st the wanderer home Jo mother, wife —the doubly dear, again. In whose young heart have freshly met lwo streams of love so deep and clear, And when upon her pillow lone And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Her tear-wet cheek is sadly prest, ~,, , May happier visions beam upon U hatever fate those forms many show.

I don't like to see ladies all the time reading sonnets, Romances and novels, and wearing queer little bonnets, Screw up their waists and wear a tight sleeve, And then the poor creatures can't enjoy a good sneexe. 1 don't like to see little boys just from their mama.
