The death of Mrs. Wilson and the
burdens thrown upon the president by
reason OF the European war prevented
the laying OF the cornerstone for the
new summer capitol" to be located
on Mount Falcon. fifteen miles east Of
Denver. The ceremonies had been set
for August IL, but were postponed.
The plan for a western summer
capitol" was launched several years
ago by John Brisben Walker. who has
given the site. The foundations for a
great structure Of gray granite have
been laid The governors OF twenty
two western states have agreed 10 act
az official sponsors of the plan and to
hold the capitol" In trust for the
president of the United States.
Mount Falcon is not, Of course. one
Of the high peaks of the Rockies, but
Mount Evans. 1920 feet towers near
IT, Pixies peak looms up seventy-five
miles to the south and from the ter
races, windows and drives around the
summer capitol" the main range of
the Rockies notches the western hori-
zon line and seventy lakes dot the
plains around Denver Is a mile above
sea level and Mount Falcon looks
down upon Denver.
The west has raised the s250,000
needed for the buildings and the
grounds, through popular subscrip-
ton. OF this but $4,000 will go into
the gray granite capitol building
while the remainder will be used In
creating a series of magnificent APP
proaches Forty miles of automobile
highways will be necessary TO estab-
lish transportation facilities TO Dem

The western states point out that
Mount Falcon lies almost exactly in
the geographical center Of the nation

propose to give the president sum

may be done comfortably and where
he can be in touch with western men

PRAYING FOR PEACE.
New York Evening Posi-.


The presidents proclamation desig-
mating the first Sunday Of next month
as day of prayer for peace is
couched in language worthy of the
awful occasion which brings 1t forth.
Best of all, il is wholly free from any
faint of Pharisaic complacency. There
n not the slightest implication or sug-
gestlon that our own country, the only
one of the great nations of the west
ern world that Is free from the
scourge of war. owes its exemption to
superior virtue on the part of our
people, or even to the merits of our
republican institutions. To what ex-
tent we are indebted for our happier
state to the possession of advantages
Of situation, of resources and of the
opportunities for development within
our own borders, no one can say with
confidence; that they are factor of
the first importance in the case is,
however, obvious. But, be all these
things as they may, there is, in our
own country as well as in any other,
the age-old conflict between the
promptings of militant ambition and
the counsels of peaceful aspiration;
and il should never be forgotten that.
In our own country as well as in any
other the issue Of war or peace turns
In an essential degree on the balance
of the intellectual and spiritual forces
that promote these opposing tenden-
ciea Mr.. Wilson's designation of a
day of prayer for peace may result in
centering the attention, not only of
our own people but Of the nations of
Europe, upon the great strength
among us of the sentiment in favor of
such settlement of the mighty con-
flict as will leave all the nations con-
cerned inclined towards lasting
peace.

CARE OF THE POOR AT HOME

The keynote of the general discussion concerning
the proper of the poor at the sessions Of the
State Convention of Directors of the Poor in Car
isle, seems to have been that it is better to en-
deavor to Improve the condition of the poor in their
own homes than to remove them to institutions
where they would be grouped together. This, it is
claimed does not rob them of certain dignity that
pertains to a man in his own home and is a stimu-
lus to greater effort the part of those whose
home conditions are looked after by those ap-
pointed to perform that duty.
In the last Legislature an effort was made to
obtain the'passage of bill that would to certain
extent, do away with almshouses, the object being
to place the indigents in private homes but the
bill never got to further stage than introduction
being left to die in committee. 1t was argued by
those IN favor of 1t that placing pauper in home
where he or she could be cared for more properly
took away that lack of interest in life that comes
with the herding of the poor ndscriminately in an
institution In opposition to this it was held that
there are few counties in the state where private
families would take charge of poor people from the
almshouse, and that the scheme would be failure.
The Poor Directors convention seems to be on
the right track, if it follow its ideas to actual
accomplishment and improve conditions of the poor
in their own homes rather than remove them to in
stltutions to be cared for as public charges This
plan carried out would mean the ''uplift' in all
of its true significance

LOCOMOTIVE SMOKE NUISANCE

In the days when experiments were being made
with locomotives, when the smokestacks were the
biggest parts of the engines fears were expressed
by the farmers of our fair land that the smoke
emitted from the strange demons would pass
over their fields and destroy their crops The sons
OF the soil believed that if railroads invaded their
peaceful domains, successful agriculture would be
forever impossible thereafter
Railroads have been thrown across the continent
In great network, and there is never second in
which locomotives are not belchng forth smoke
in all parts of the land The crops have not notice
aoIy suffered. Science goes so far to point out
that constituents of smoke to give rather than
to take plant life. If any harmful effects of the
smoke are complained Of the complaints come from
the cities,-not from the country.
In large and small industrial centers the dense
black smoke Of locomotives joins the emissions
from the stacks of mills and factories to replace the
ar s essential oxygen and pollute the atmosphere
Most Americans, reared in such an atmosphere of
industry, breathe the impure air with scarcely
thought that its constituents are not those intended
by nature.
Thick smoke from locomotives is not necessary

preventive measures, and many good recommends
tons are being satisfactorily followed in actual
practice. A committee of the Railroad Smoke In

whose members make impartial reports on locomo-'

Ionaue-End Topics
Mr.. Montgomery. Fireman at 80

Perhaps the oldest fireman in Har-
risourg, who certainly is the oldest
Chief Engineer of the Harrisburg Fire
Department, will ride in the big parade
tomorrow. Joseph Montgomery, owner
and manager of the Peipher Line of
freight, one of Harrisburg most re-
spected citizens, joined the Citizen Fire
Company sixty-two years ago, when ne
was Is years old. He is now so. In
all these years he has kect up his mem
oership in the Citizen company, and up
TO within few years ago he still took
an active part in the work at fires. The
last time Mr.. Montgomery was in active
service was when the "Patriot" build.
ing on Market street was burned out.
MIR. Montgomery succeeded Harry
Schaffer as Chief Engineer of the Har-
risourg Fire Department, having pre-.
viously been Mr.. Schaffer's IS assistant.
He was the second fireman to fill the
position of Chief Engineer He served
two terms as chief and was succeeded
by George V. Corl, of the Friendship,
who will also ibe in line. although not
having served actively as long as Mr..
Montgomery. When the fire occurred
In the King hardware store, the site
OF the present Kunkel building, at Third
and Market streets; Mr.. Montgomery
met with an accident that caused him
to be laid up for some time. A barrel
of gasoline in the cellar exploded and
he and the late Andrew Schlaver. both
OF them having gone into the cellar to
locate the fire, were blown up the cell
lar stairs, Mr.. Schlayer flying clear out
on Third street, and MIR. Montgomery
being hurled with great force against
a post, his shoulder being severely in
Jured. Both of them were burned about
the head and face. Despite his four
score years, Mr.. Montgomery is active
IN business pursuits, and takes a lively
interest in the iremen s gathering here
this week.
