Governor Oddie has appointed F.
NJ. Fletcher, q mining man of
Reno, to the va ancy on the tax
commission, caused by the resigna-
ton of Emmett D. Boyle. The law
provides that the two appointiye
members Of the commission shall
not be out of the same politi al
party. Fletcher is said to be a
progressive republican, but as the
standpat republicans have taken the
progressives into their camp and
they now worship at the same
political altar il is difficult mat

difference between the two factions.
In appointingsFletcher a so-called

NE month OF the new year mas
been torn from the calendar
~ and with the beginning of the
second month the new munich
pal administration may be reasonably
expected to get into its proper stride.
There Is much to do in the present
vear and the councilmen who are
working out the theory and practice
Of the new commission form of gov
ernment have shown in a number of
ways a disposition to do constructive
work Each of the department heads
has now had about two months In
which to get his bearings and during
the next few weeks, and before the
opening of Spring, the program of the
year will probably have been fully
developed.
Harrisburg has reputation to
maintain and it is gratifying to note
a disposition on the part of the new
officials to proceed along progressive
lines in the improvement of the city.
Our citizens are accustomed to things
being done in a broad, modern way,
and the municipal officials have al
ready felt the inspiration of a citizen
chip which supports and encourages
the working out of plans for the en-
tire community. Already some things
have been accomplished which COM
mand the approval of the people and
the indications are that still other
features of a progressive administra-
ton are about to be announced.
AS is always the case in the change
Of any administration - municipal,
county. State or national-more at
tention is given to the mere political
phases than to the creative measures
which interest the people more. BY
reason of this fact the efforts of the
commission to increase the efficiency
and bring about a better condition of
affairs in several of the departments
have been overlooked. But in the last
analysis results count and the people
are certain to give credit where credit
Is due.
Perhaps no policy of the new ad-
ministration has been more generally
commended than the policy Of retain
ing the several boards and commits
hons which so admirably served the
city under the old system Of govern
ment. It is expected that the new
City Planning and Shade Tree Com
missions will be created without de-
Lay and these will cooperate in the
important program of the year.
Generally speaking the commission
government is on trial and there is no
Inclination anywhere to unfairly criti-
Else what has already been done
pending the working out of the new
system.

Those at the head of the movement
are not acting in the fear of another

people in want whose needs should be
met by those who have plenty.
The committee believes that by or
the work of charity may
be systematized and rendered more
efficient and in this it is following the
lines laid down by successful associa-
tions of the kind in Harrisburg and
other cities.

THE CUMBERLAND ROAD

/NONGhESSMAN HENRY "A.
BARNHART, of Rochester, Ind,
has introduced in Congress a bill
for continuing the Cumberland
Road through the States of Ohio, In
diana, illinois and Missouri.
whaa, in 1902, Ohio was admitted
80 :he Union, the general government
gev. fits written pledge that one
twentieth of the net proceeds from
the sale Of all public lands situated
within the State would be applied by
Congress to the building of national
road from tidewater on the Atlantic
coast to and through the State of
Ohio. Similar contracts were entered
into by the government with the
States of Indiana, Illinois and Mis-
souri, upon their admission to the
Union.
Subsequently, the government sold
the public lands thus reserved and
pledged to the purpose of building
roads. and appropriated the available
proceeds to the building of a road
known as the Cumberland Road in the
States Of Maryland. Pennsylvania and
Virginia. Only small part of the
money was spent in any of the Public
Land" States, and none of it reached
Missouri
Congressman Barnhart's bill calls
for an appropriation of s5,ooo,000 for
continuing the construction and pro-
viding for the maintenance Of the
Cumberland Road in those States

get $1,000 and Missouri $4,000. 900.

RYAN BEATS BOSS
PALMER TO RING
Philadelphia City Solicitor An
nounces That He Will Be Can

City Solicitor Michael ]. Ryan has
beaten Congressman A. Mitchell Pal
mer and the other Democratic bosses
to it in the start Of the race for the
gubernatorial nomination and unless
all signs fail there is going to be
Democratic campaign that will go
down in history.
Ryan will make tour of the State
before the primaries and his state
ment of his position indicates that he
will have a few things to say about
bosssm in the party. Whether Pal
mel or Mestrezat runs as the candi-
date OF the reorganization faction he
will have to bear the load of bossism,
unpopular appointments pullbackism
and arrogant party management.
1t is expected that this week Pal
mer will write letter stating whether
he will run for governor or not. 1t is
the impression in Washington that
he would rather stay in Congress, but
close friends insist that he will run
for governor since Secretary Wilson.
Ambassador Guthrie and other men
have refused to be sacrificed For
some time it has been rumored in
this State that he wants to run for
to deny any such ambitions.
According to information received
at Philadelphia Saturday night, e. E.

slated is Commissioner of Immigra-
ton for Philadelphia, with offices at
Gloucester, N. J. The job pays some
thing more than the $4,000 snap
handed to Editor James Magee, Of

my opinion there is none other so well
