AS the work on the various munich
pal improvement undertakings goes
forward the interest of the public in
creases. Harrisburg has been pecu-
liarly fortunate in that this public work
has given employment to hundreds of
idle men at a time when they are
thrown out of their usual occupations
by Democratic experimenting. With
the beginning of the more active opera
tions on the Mulberry street bridge
across the Susquehanna river and the
incidental changes in the track in
South Harrisburg, involving the con-
struction of two subways, there will be
an increased demand for labor.

THE LABORER AND HIS HIRE

Out in Oklahoma City they tell the
story of a manufacturer who announced
to his hands that If they would attend
church at Easter he would see that they
were pecuniarily rewarded. Naturally,
all hands went to church; and the
manufacturer, from his pew, surveyed
his workmen with an air of pride. This,
however, was mitigated by the appear
said
"The men want to know. If we come
to church again tonight, do we get
overtime?"

ROOT AND HEARST
[From Life.1

The idea of sending Mr. Root back
to the Senate is the ony idea in New
York politics as yet disclosed that has
a pleasing aspect. That idea is Sc
lar. except, indeed, with Mr. Root
himself, who seems to disapprove It.
Mr.. Hearsts American seems alarmed
about it when" It cries in large
black editorial headline type, did
Root Ever Serve the People?" Why
bless you, dearie, didn't he go up, to
Syracuse that time and make that
famous speech saying William Hearst
was a bad egg? You must have forgot
ten. Don't you call that serving the
people?

Democratic newspapers are rejoicing
over the announcement that steel orders
for June show a big increase over those

million tons below that of last year and
for 1912.

the famous expressions of history one
of the most prominent will be Presi-

statement of July, 1893: 81 will soon

President Woodrow Wilson is not
likely to make any such outspoken
expression indicating spirit of con-
tempt for the legislative branch Of our
tri-partite federal government, but he
will continue to point the way to ma
t;onal legislation which he believes to
be much needed. While verbally he
may not manifest superiority of the
executive over the legislative branch,
it is POSSIBLE that he may tacitly do
so. after the manner of the some
time famous Thad Stevens in the
house of representatives. Turning
around while the speaker was making
ruling, Stevens walked down the
