A GOODIY HERITAGE

" HESE are the days when 1t is
we'll to get acquainted with your
L own city. Go anywhere through
out Harrisburg and you will dis
cover signs of Improvement on every
hand. Strips of green are being created
along the curb lines, houses are being
painted and remodeled and lawns
cleared of debris of the winter; and
on top of all, the heads of the several
municipal departments are getting
under way for the further betterment
of the city in the way of more street
paving, the repair of the streets
already paved, the creation of parks
and Fairgrounds and the completion
Of the River Front and Paxton Creek
projects.
Surely our lines have fallen In
pleasant places and we have a goodly
heritage in this beautiful city, which
is being made more and more attractive
through the public spirit of our people
and the vision of those citizens who
are disposed to see beyond to-day and
assure a comfortable future for oui
children and our childrens children
But there is still one more thing de.
manding immediate attention. We
should have Shade Tree Commission
to save the trees and get the best re,
suits from their planting.

~ EPUBLICANS of Harrisburg
X should not fail to register to-
L y morrow, providing they did not
register last Fall. Progressives
and Democrats who see that the return
of the Republican party to power is
the only way to restore the business
of the country to normal conditions,
bring back prosperity and provide
work for thousands upon thousands of
laboring. men now out of employment,
and who wish to change their party
affiliations in order to help bring about
that result. should see to it that they
are properly registered and enrolled
as Republicans. After tomorrow it
will be too late.
Figures published elsewhere in this
issue show very clearly that there has
been big swing back to the Republi-
can party in the country districts of
Dauphin county. The voters there
have gone to the polling places and
have been enrolled. Harrisburg voters
who want to express their sentiments
at the May primaries should not lose
this opportunity.
Democrats are striving desperately
to make a showing in the cities of the
third class tomorrow. They are try
ing to drag Republicans into their
own camps for the purpose of support
ing this or that candidate and in an
effort to make some show of gain
over the vote cast for President Will
son in 1912. Not a member of their
own party will be overlooked who can
be persuaded to go to the registration
places. Republicans. bearing this in
mind should counter-b balance these
attempts to bolster up a waning
strength by registering their own pref
erences.
There is foolish talk of Republicans
being aligned with Democrats to de-
feat this or that faction of the party
at the primaries. There is no basis
for this assertion. 1t is another of the
shameless lies circulated for the pur-
pose of inturing the chances 'of the
Republican party at the polls in No
Nember. The place for Republican
names is in the Republican column.
Now is the time for Republicans, and
all those in sympathy, with Republi-
can aims and principles, to prepare
to express their own personal prefer
ences at the primaries next month.
The party that is going to swing Penn
sylvania back into line for the restora-
tion of sane government at Washing
ton and prosperity for the country at
large has no business with the petty
chickering's of Democrats over the
meatless bones of their own pArty
nominations.

POLITICAL SIDEuCHTS

Some of the Democratic orators
who are talking about ''purging" Cap
itol Hill might start in on the Demo-
cratic State committee to demonstrate
their proficiency as well as sincerity.
MIR. Berry is now admitting that
Mccormick did not support Bryan in
1895. Pretty soon we will hear from
Palmer about it.
One of the orators of the Demo-
cratic machine yesterday referred to
Mccormick as the man who swept the
snakes and cobwebs out of the Demo-
cratic party He must have over
looked Market Squares State head
quarters.
State Chairman Morris statement
that the Democratic party must be
kept so clean that people will be at
tracted to it is refreshing. Maybe he
means to do some Spring houseclean-
ing.
The trouble with the Democratic
machine Is that it has adopted every
thing that 1t used to denounce in other
parties, and thinks that by calling
them new names or keeping quiet that
the people will not get next.
The wise man will see that he is
properly registered tomorrow.
The Palmer Mccormick League
had a burlesque last night. 1t hit its
level.
1T took quite a long time to put
over Greenawalt's confirmation.
Dick Hancock deserves that Will
Jamestown post Office after that earn
est letter printed in the Patriot to-
day.
Doc Dougherty was mentioned In
the court gazette yesterday morning.
1t is said that Herr Moeslein Is
panied to find that many Democrats
decline to take his aspirations to the
Democratic State committee seri-
ously.
When one considers the activities
of Wilson Bailey and the post office
scandals the nerve of the Democratic
machine candidates in talking about
purity. rises to heights sublime.
Mccormick appears to be as OBJ
livious of what has been going on in
the name of the State committee as he
was of the corruption in his mayor
atty election.
There are indications that a Nc
Cormick campaign banner Is to be
raised in Market street. Wilson Bailey
will not figure on it.
Tomorrow Is registration day.
Magistrate Belcher is said to be
slated for the Philadelphia mint su-
perintendency Hoskins loses again.

Cornick all over Philadelphia and
holding bigger meetings. The war
goes on merrily!

EOOD INSPECTION

FFICIAI.S of the Department OF
Health are notifying dealers in
~ food products coming under the
head of the new sanitary regu-
lations that they must take out licenses
If they wish to continue in business =
It does seem a pity that the careful
honest dealer who has kept his prod
ucts clean and pure should be COM
PEELED to pay a. license fee because
others have been remiss. But there
is another side to the license require
ment. While it may seem hard-
ship to charge the honest man lee
in order to provide a means OIL de-
tecting the dishonest, in the end the
honest man may be the gamer.
Dirty, impure, carelessly prepared
foods cost less to market than prod
ucts Of top-notch standard. The man
who sells ice cream that is below the
legal requirements for butter fats and
is favored with artificial syrups, for
instance, can undersell the manutac-
turer who is making strictly hrst-class
cream. He is an unfair competitor,
and it is right here that the reputable
dealer comes into his own with re-
gard to the payment Of license The
law will compel his rival to come up
to requirements and will place him in
a position where he cannot palm Off
his inferior goods at prices slightly
lower than those at which the honest
merchant can afford to sell.

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Having returned home March .,
after a stay of three months after Il
serious operation at the Harrisburg
Hospital and being to date much i'm
proved, at this time / want to thank
my many kind friends in and out of
the city for continued kindness during
my illness. 1t was q great blessing to
me at that critical time. The Woman's $
Aid Society of the hospital is some
thing that every one should know as
to it's beneficent influence and cheer
to the many suffering patients by their
presence and kind words from day to
day.
Much praise to them and to all the
officials in the hospital, serene in
knowledge and ready to do their full
duty to suffering humanity. This in
dispensable institution deserves the
hearty support and cooperation of the
public in general With gratitude
will surely ever appreciate. With
great respect.
Very truly,

HOPEFUL HESITATION
[From the New York Sun.

lfroHl tne new 1OTk sum-
War is not process o great delibera-
ton or delay. Action is what counts
and the quicker the action the more
likely 1t is to succeed. One of the first
canons of the art is to strike the enemy
before he is prepared, to attack when
and where attack is least expected.
The rules of the game apply to the
beginning just as -cogently as to the
middle or end 1t lis fatuous when
war has begun to linger over the ques-
tion of whether 1t is war or a dress
parade. While one adversary wastes
the time in hopeful hesitation the other
is apt to. tear up tracks, blow up
bridges. throw up earthworks, concen-
trate forces. organize defensive lines
which 1t may take many months and
many lives to storm.
What atpity we had not brigade or
two ready to land at Vera Cruz within
day after the city was taken. It
might have followed hotfoot after
General Mas and driven him from the
line of the railway to Mexico City.
Now he will retreat at leisure, Destroy
ing the line as he goes. 1t is time that
the situation were put In the hands of
the soldiers.

Auto Gas Puts End
To Ground Squirrels

STOCKTON.-A cheap and effec-
tive method of eXterminating ground
squirrels has been worked out by
H. Learned, farmer living near
stockton. His method is simplicity
itself. He merely runs his auto
nto on infested field conducts the
exhaust of his engine down the bur-
rows by means of a rubber hose and
fills the holes with the deadly gas.
BY using distillate at six cents a gal
lon he has found that a great saving
is effected, as the government for
mula for making gas costs about 81
a gallon.
The effectiveness of the plan has
been demonstrated by several OF
the ranchers hereabouts. In some
instances whole colonies Of ground
squirrels have been destroyed in an
hours time One farmer discovered
that after few minutes application
smoke was seen o issue from holes
a considerable dis ance from the
point of entry By stopping these
up he was able to devitalize the air
in the underground passages for a
radius of several yards, thus killing
Of the pests.
