WHY "CUSS"?

vN a letter to another Yale profess
sor who wants to learn to play
l. golf, eX-President Taft hints that
the more a man "cusses" the ball,
the worse his score. To quote the
ex-President: Golf has no bad re-
suits, except that in the outset it
may tempt to profanity. This, how
over, is of short duration with a man
of any sense, because he finds that
the less he resorts to profanity and
impatience "the better the score ?"
But why stop at golf? Isn't the
same true. in any and everything, that
the less one resorts to profanity and
impatience ''the better the scare?
No man ever won friends by using
profanity. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether anybody ever got much bust
ness by "cussing the other fellow
out" Sportsmen in all fields have
learned tho lesson of patience and
self control which means keeping
your mouth shut" and your eyes and
ears open.

A REAL WEALTHY OLD PARTY

TATHER PENN will start out the
- new year with the knowledge
that he has $62,OO0,OOO of assets
with which he can open the
books for 1915. OF course. it has
been known for years that Father
Penn had - pretty rich old Common
wealth, but to-day for the first time
everything that can be classed as State
property has been put into an ap-
praisement just like a manufacturer
or a merchant or any good business
man would have his affairs arranged
at the commencement of a new year.
The idea of having a schedule of
the States assets originated with Gov
ernor Tenef. He had been impressed
by the great appropriations made each
two years by the Legislature, and by
monwealth, but he wanted to know
where the money had gone az we'll as
where it was going. For instance, it
was known that the State had been
buying back the forest lands it had
, given away years ago until 1t had a
ed to know what the land was worth,
1t was the same with the hospitals and
other State properties. Hence, the
executive picked out three of the best
qualified men on Capitol Hill and put
them to work.
To-day the statement is made that
the State has over S49.0OO,0OO worth
of real estate and that is valuing IL
low, some say; that it has personal
property of over five and a half mil
lions and that it has fat bank bal
ance and a surplus of $751; 900 in its
sinking fund over and above the old
bonded debt which people won't turn
in.
| There's more wealth in the name OF
the people of Pennsylvania now than
ever before and hereafter at the end
of each year the total will be ascer-
tanned and used in the business of the
State.

OUR TRADE SOUTH

IN view of the widespread interest
in extending the trade of the
1 United States in Pan-American ter
ritory one might gather the i'm
preston that the businessmen of this
country had been entirely neglectful
of their opportunities in that direc-
tion previous to the outbreak of the
war in Europe. That this is not the
case, but on the other hand that many
wide-awake merchants and manu-
facturers have been taking full ad-
vantage of the great and growing
market to the South, is shown by the
report of business between the United
States and the Latin-American ma
tions for the year 1913, just issued.
1t comes as surprise to be told
that the United States enjoys a larger
proportion OF the foreign trade OF
these republics than any other coun-
try in the world. In 1913 the share
of the United States was more than
three times that of France, nearly
double that of Germany. and twenty
five per cent. greater than that of the
United Kingdom: United States, $685.
465,S45; United Kingdom, s643,5S6.-
3s6; Germany. s4O7132.374; France
$23S,S13,453.
Until 1913 the lead of the United
States in the foreign trade of Latir
America was due to it's share of Latin.
American exports. but the United
Kingdom has heretofore led in the
! volume of Latln-American imports

THE AGRICULTURAL POST

From the Altoona Tribune1
Some time ago one of the reporters
of the Tribune wrote a very compli-
mentary notice of the candidacy of
our old-time friend, George c. Hutchi-
son, of Warriors Mark for the office OF
Secretary of Agriculture, in succession
tc Secretary Critchfield, who is about
to retire to private life. Later on the
president of the Tribune company paid
a high compliment to Professor Fl. A.
Surface, economic zoologist, who is
also a candidate for the secretaryship.
Now the editor, without any prejudice
to the other excellent gentlemen who
aspire to this important post, thinks 1t
not improper to call attention to the
candidacy OF Deputy Secretary A. l..
Martin, who desires to be advanced to
the position so long filled by his imme-
diate chief, Mr.. Critchfield. We re-
gard his candidacy as natural, newt
able and highly proper and his selec-
ton for the post of Secretary would
be in eXacc conformity to the true
principles of civil service reform. 1t
would bo the affirmation in political
! life of the fine suggestion that he who
is faithful over few things shall bo
made ruler over many things.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
by Wing DinEer

Gee, there's been a bunch of knocking
Bout the year that ends to-day
How it's brought big trials and
troubles
All along its stony way
That twas really downright pleasure
To find one char this a. II.
Who, in looking back, looked forward,
And spoke forth this little gem:
"I've been hammered good and plenty
BY bad fortune this past year,
But. say, Dinger, I've discovered
Father Time. though hoar and seer,
Always seems to treat us kindly,
And the average through life
That he strikes for all his children
Tempers with sweet peace the strife,
$50 when recall the tough luck
I've had in nineteen fourteen
1 am happy that things were not
Bad as they might well have been,
And the New Year, 1 am certain,
viii be full of joy for me.
Must be, to make up for last year.
And square up things, don't you see?''

DAUPHIN CORN CONTEST

T OCAL school boards should give
County superintendent Sham
IL baugh their hearty support In
making successful the school
corn-growing contest he plans for
Dauphin county during the coming
year. These corn contests are popular
throughout the Central West and have
resulted in much practical instruction
and increased interest in the public
schools and agriculture. They are
big factor in teaching the boy the pos
sibilities and pleasures of the farm
and will no doubt in the end prevent
many young men from deserting the
land for the city.
Superintendent Shambaugh has dis
played enterprise and initiative worthy
of note along many lines during the
brief time he has been in office, but
no activity he has undertaken is more
fraught with possibilities for good
than this corn-growing contest, which
is the first step, undoubtedly, toward
an experimental farm acre in connec-
ton with every rural schoolhouse in
the district. Nobody tries to teach
chemistry without a laboratory and
instruction in farming, which many
of our schools now attempt. is of little
value without practical demonstration
to accompany it.

In 1913, for the first time, the United
States took the lead in imports, the
value of its shipments to the twenty
countries being $s25.SS7.345, as
against the United Kingdom, $S22,-
|22s.073; Germany, $217,976,2O2, and
France. s110,4S4,3S5.
Notwithstanding the efforts put for
ward by the British manufacturers in
1914, and particularly since the be-
ginning of the war, to maintain their
position in the Latin-American i'm
port trade and to capture a large
share of the German trade, it can be
predicted with reasonable confidence
that the lead in this trade acquired
first by the United States in 1918 will
not be lost in 1914.

AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION

II is admitted that one Of the great
needs of Pennsylvania is conser-
walton of agriculture. In other
words. there is necessity for ''nurs-
ing" of the soil which enabled the
keystone State to attain quite a high
rank as an agricultural Common
wealth while it was furnishing from
its depths wonderful quantities of
coal, iron and oil and vast quantities
being taken from it's surface. Years
ago Pennsylvania raised enough to
feed the people within her borders,
but now we have eight million souls
and a very large portion of them are
urban dwellers. The problem is not
the soil, but how to keep people on
the farm so that the State will have
the benefit of their early training in
working it. Recent experiments in
transplanting peasants from Europe
have not been successful. The peo-
pie who now cross the Atlantic to en-
gage as farm workers are not the
sturdy thinking folks who made the
forests of PENIS land give way to
blossoming fields. Neither is the pay
Jas attractive as in the mine or the
mill.
In view of this situation, it is a
fortunate thing that Pennsylvania has
elected as her next Governor a man
trained on the farm, knowing the
farm and of announced intention of
bettering farm conditions. The con-
ference yesterday with representatives
of agricultural interests, for which
DR.. Brumbaugh took time in the midst
of a busy day among his old friends
the educators, shows that he is anx-
ious to take up the problem with
those well qualified. The meetings
scheduled for next month will bring
out the best ideas on the subject
from the farmers, the stock raisers,
the poultrymen, the dairymen, the bee
keepers and the fruit raisers. just as
the sessions of the State Educational
Association here this week have en-
abled men in authority TO get line
on what the teachers think. Con-
servation associations are also work.
ing TO the same end and the year 1915
should see the establishment of a
definite line of policy regarding agri-
cultural progress in Pennsylvania.

THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 81
CLEAN YOUR PAVEMENT

IT ought not to be ever necessary for
the police chief to order arrests for
= violation of the city ordinance pro-
viding that sidewalks be cleared of
snow within twenty-four hours after
the fall.
True, this winter there has been
an unusual amount of shoveling to be
done and the average property owner
has got pain in his back getting rid
of "the beautiful" But judging from
the appearance of many a pavement
there are some property owners in
Harrisburg who haven't so much as
raised a blister. And what is more,
many such are citizens of prominence
in the city, according to the chief of
police
Colonel Hutchison has issued a
warning. and rightly. that he will en-
force the law, no matter whom it may
strike.
When you come to think of it, no
man who cares whit about his fell
lows will permit ice and snow to lay
on his pavement where it may any
minute lead to fractured bones or
worse In Steelton the other day a
foreigner died as a result of a fall
on the ice; in this city, fully a score
of persons have been admitted to the
hospitals suffering with broken bones
sustained in falls on icy pavements.
Surely, the man who causes such ac-
cidents is not doing as he would be
done by.
Every time you neglect to clean
your pavement, you are breaking the
Golden Rule. Ever think of it that
way before?
Also-and this is important-do
not forget that there are hundreds of
men out of work in Harrisburg who
would be glad to earn a quarter on
the sidewalk in front of your home.

Old newspapers show that when the

when Harrisburg was a pleasant little

of the celebration. Incidentally, 1t
might be remarked that many families
sat up until midnight in spite of the
fact that candles were expensive.
