Blaine county was the only county

Douglas county remitted to the state

the thing along only three times.
The list shows that on an average the
state treasurer received remittances less
than five times year or to be cor

The next legislature will be asked by
state Treasurer George TO pass an act
requiring county treasurers to remit to
the state treasurer every month.
If this is done 1t will help materially
in keeping down the number of outstand-

CHILDREN.s AID SOCIETY

vF there is one charitable organ
ization in Harrisburg that deserves
l. support more than another it is the
Children's Aid Society.
Usually the membership of such an
association greatly exceeds in mum bers
its beneficiaries, but not so the Chill
dren's Aid Society. Only 100 men,
ecutive Mansion yesterday when the
annual meeting was held, but 1t de-
veloped that the society has under its
care 1913 children; approximately two
for every member present. This is a
splendid showing and one we'll deserv-
ing of the appeal for contributions
which the organization has made for
continuance of it's work.
The society is maintained entirely
by the voluntary gifts of it's members
and others. Its work lies among
neglected and dependent children"
The Children's Aid Society realizes
we'll the Importance of good environ
ment for the child. It's members know
how susceptible are the little mind and
body to the influences about them and
it's members strive to the best of their
ability to care for the needy and the
neglected. There is no sweeter. nobler
service than this.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 1
THE ELECTION LAW JUNIBLE

a GAIN the Dauphln County court
~ is bombarded with nomination
4 \ controversies. Each year the
situation with respect to cleo
toral reforms, so-called, becomes more
and more trying for the average voter.
Much of the difficulty in the opera
tion of the election laws has resulted
from the attempt to put into practice
impractical regulations. These changes
were honestly meant in some cases,
but in nearly every instance they have
been inspired by political resentment
or an effort on the part of political
groups and factions to obtain an ad-
vantage which could not be secured in
the ordinary way.
Judges Kunkel and McCarrell and
their predecessors on the Dauphin
county bench have been compelled to
review one contest after another and
in most of the cases the time of the
court was wasted in the untangling of
many district controversies which
should have been threshed out in the
primary instead of in the court room.
1t is impossible to twist the law into
an agency for the promotion of politi-
cal ambition and instead of the COM
plicated and confused system of cleo
tion laws which has been dumped
upon the voters during the last few
years, there should be provided an
electoral commits composed of fair
minded men who would eliminate the
absurdities of the present conglome-
rate mass of alleged reform enact
ments.
Much of the difficulty under which
election officers and State, county and
district officials are now laboring has
been caused by the political upheavals
of recent years and the scheming of
little politicians wabbling around in
big places to achieve their own ambi-
tions. Until the era of political hys-
terra shall have passed, it is probable
that there will be little improvement

\ FoREHANDED PROPOSITION

TTE1ERE VIII be general commen-
dation for the municipal au-
! thorities in their plan to utilize
the material from the subways
In Second and Front streets at Null
berry for the filling .out of the narrow
stretches along the river front. The
economical consideration here is the
conspicuous factor in the transaction.
Unless this earth is obtained at this
time the filling out of the narrow Sec
tions along Front street, especially in
the northern part of the city, will
eventually cost many times what
would now be involved through the
utilization of the filing materials in
sight.
Owing to the large amount of grad
Ing of building lots and streets, the
cheap as dirt" slogan is no longer
heard. Instead, dirt is not now a
cheap commodity in Harrisburg and
the city officials appreciate the i'm
portance of securing this material
now. Fortunately for the city and all
concerned the contractors and the
railroad authorities are .co-operating
in this matter.
AS is we'll known, the paving of
an important stretch of Front street
was accomplished after consider
able controversy over the width
of the highway. This matter having
been settled for all time, it is obviously
necessary that sufficient sidewalk
shall be provided on both sides of the
street in order that the danger which
Is now imminent through the general
use of the river drive by pedestrians
may be overcome. AS the heavy exca-
walton work will probably start next
week, it is expected that some ar
rangement will be made to utilize the
hundreds of tons of earth that will be
displaced.
1t is also pointed out that the curb
ing along the west side of the street is
settling in many places and that fur
ther support Is necessary.

tive and S title of the constructive
in the public press of the country in
recent years that repetition in this
instance may be excused and it comes
as distinct pleasure to illustrate this
old-time truth with q concrete
example.
Take. then, the case Of w. A. Carter,
who has just been selected by Cover
nor Cox as delegate from Ohio to
the National Negro Educational Con-
gress at Oklahoma City. Carter is
well known in Harrisburg, not only
among colored people, but to many
whites as well, as an honest, hard
working young man whose energies
kept pace with his ambitions.
In his youth Carter was as poor as
any of the "rail-splitting" residents of
whom historians are SO fond of relat-
ing. He went through the public
schools, working his way. and then
studied for the postal service, qualify
ing for mail carrier and making a
good record for himself in the Harris
post office. In his leisure hours he
=
studied law-studied in the evenings
and at the post Office between his
trips about the city, studied without
the help of preceptor or a college
professor
Carter had set his heart on legal
practice in Cincinnati. He tried for
the examination and failed. undis-
couraged he went back to his mail
sack and his books, making a motto
of the old copy book line, ''If at first
you don't succeed, try. try again."
Later he was admitted to the Ohio
bar and laid aside his uniform for all
time. He is making good" In his
adopted home, highly respected by all
who know him and, better than all
that, respected by himself.
The Telegraph has real pleasure
in telling this little story of William
A. Carter. 1t is not alone a message
of hope and encouragement to the
many who are struggling along the
road over which this young man has
trudged to success, but it gives the lie
direct to those who would make us be-
lieve that the day of opportunity in
America Is dead.

THE "LANDLoRD TRUST"

"HE Landlord Trust" Is the lat
est. 1t is composed Of owners
Il of Chicago real estate who have
blacklisted tenants to whom
they object. The consequence is that
large number of residents of that
city who desire to move on May l
Will not have any place to go.
The "black list" was formed with
the intention of warning landlords
against persons who believe it to be
cheaper to move than pay rent"
Chicago newspapers report, however,
that it is being abused. Owners of
property who take dislike to people
wait until they remove to houses
owned by others, and then place their
names on the lists of those to whom
Chicago real estate men will not rent
homes.
To what extreme lengths this evil
may be carried along the lines of
blackmail and spitework can be imag-
ined very easily. 1t is a question
whether or not such a "black list"
does not come under the United
States law in restraint of trade.
The man who "skips" his rent be-
cause he does not pay deserves no
sympathy, but the man who gets be-
hind is not always spendthrift or a
beat" He is ofttimes in hard luck
and it is wrong to injure his charac-
ter because he has contracted a debt
which, although he is at present un-
able to pay. he fully intends to meet

FIFTEEN YEARS AS BISHOP

Shanahan to-day celebrates his
fifteenth anniversary as head OF
the Catholic diocese Of Harris
burg.
Harrisburg has never known more
active churchman nor one more de-
voted to his duties During his
bishopric he has witnessed an increase
of 5000 in his church membership
and was the leading figure ih the
building projects that have resulted in
the erection of st. Patricks Cathe-
dral. the Abbottstown Protectory for
Boys and numerous other church
structures. He was also instrumental
in the foundation of the Sylvan
Heights home for girls and the bring
ing of the headquarters of the First
Slovak Union of America to Middle
town. In addition to his church duties
he has been prominent in every public
improvement campaign and in all
movements for the betterment of Har-
risburg.
Bishop Shanahan holds not only the
respect of people of his own creed, but
of all those who admire a big man
doing a big work in big way.
