OPENING THE ROADS

rT is not only in road building and
/ road repairs that the State High
i way Department stands ready at
all times to aid the farmer. AS a
result of the blizzard of the past week
the department has felt called upon to
set aside a sum of $4,000 to make
passable highways closed by snow.
AS soon is the extent of the blizzard
became known officials of the main
tenance division began preparations to
aid the county superintendents in get
ting the main highways throughout
their territories ut for immediate Use
Wherever the snowfall was heaviest
or the drifts deepest, additional aIlot-
ments of money were made for roao
clearing purposes.
This is service of the highest value
to the rural dweller and the city man
as we'll. In the older days, before the
creation Of the State Highway Depart
nent, when winter came and the roads
were rendered impossible by drifts
farmers ceased their trips to town.
Produce accumulated that should have
been on the market some of it spoiled
and others came eventually, when the
sun melted the snow, in quantities too
large to be readily absorbed and at
prices that rendered the farmer small
profit. Now the State takes over the
duty Of digging out the roads and rem
dering them fit at all times for travel.
And both the farmer and the city
man profit thereby.

Ting us fine example along some
lines. For instance, there is President
Yuan Shi Kai, who has Just given the
world lesson in economy by reducing
the salary voted to him by the cabi-
net and administrative council to the
amount of 20 per cent, and at the
same time clipping an item of $40. 600
year from the fund set aside for his
entertainment of Chinese and foreign
cignitaries.
In taking this step, Yuan's friends
assert, he is making no play to the
grandstand." He is a plain and frugal
man, lives modestly and simply. and
devotes most of his income to public
works and charity.

KREIDER's WATCHFULNEss

HAT Congressman Kreider is
keeping in very close touch with
i public affairs in his home dis
trict is illustrated by the fact
that he will introduce in Congress a
bill for the further enlargement of the
Harrisburg Post Office.
Mr.. Kreider did not walt for some-
body else to find out that the federal
building here will not be adequate for
the city's growing needs even after the
present improvements are completed.
He looked over the situation himself,
observed conditions apd then took the
matter UP with Postmaster Sites. AS
result he will endeavor to show Con-
sress the urgent necessity of an addi-
tional appropriation for building pur-
poses.
When Congressman Olmsted pro-
cured an appropriation of 100000 for
the purpose of enlargement here the
parcel post law had not been passed
and nobody could foresee at that time
it's early enactment. The Post Office
engagements as planned would have
been quite sufficient to meet the needs
of the city had not the postal service
in the meantime annexed large part
of the business formerly handled by
the express companies. AS it stands,
the Post Office as enlarged under the
Olmsted act would be but a makeshift
and the increase of appropriation for
which Mr.. Kreider will ask is little
less than necessity if Harrisburg is
TO have federal building commen-
surate with the amount of government
business transacted here.

POLlTlCAl5SlOe

The invasion of Western Pennsyl-
vania seems to have wound up in
something like a retreat from Moscow
after all.
And here's q row over the Demo-
cratic congressional nomination to add
to the fuss.
The power of the reo-gang was
never better illustrated than In the
West End Democratic Club last night.
Three more jobs have been given
out by Kirkendall and they have all
gone into Palmer's congressional dis
trict. Wonder why?
Yet, in spite of the differences
between Republicans and insurgents
in Beaver, Butler and Lawrence coun-
ties the Democrats have only elected
one or two members in a decade.
Speaker Alter appears to be some-
what accomplished as q keeper of his
intentions.
The resignation Of John Bassett
Moore from the State Department,
presumably because of disgust with the
Wilson policy, appears to be first page
news everywhere except Harrisburg
to- day.
Fred S. Drake is announcing that
he is candidate for Congress again.
Lee F. Lybarger will be a candi-
date for the House In Union county.
The whole family will not be in the
Forgettery anyway. ~.
Two Philadelphia clubs endorsed
Mccormick and one endorsed Ryan.
One refused to commit itself. Score,
Mccormick, g.; Ryan, 6; on fence, 6.
james G. Johnston, former legis-
lator from Philadelphia, wants to run
again.
Congressman Ainey will spend a
little money for headquarters in
Philadelphia, too.
The Walling boomers have started
up again. Too much Kunkel and Fra
zer sentiment, probably.
John Bassett Moore is unkind. He
should have picked another date than
the first anniversary of the new free
DOM
Mr.. Palmer probably found much
freedom i'll the remarks of some of
the Western Pennsylvania Office
seekers.
The split over congressional nom-
nations will be pleasant news for
Democratic bosses right after the in
vasion of disturbed Western Pennsyl-
Vania.
Next thing the mikeryans will
get up some nerve and name candi-
dates for the State committee here.
Last night was one of Mayor
Royals partisan times. He is vigor-
ously nonpartisan on certain after
moons.

A MECHANICAL TRIUMPH

HE Wall Street Journal notes as
one of the mechanical triumphs
of the year the fact that during
the blizzard of Sunday and Mon
day, Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington enjoyed
uninterrupted long distance telephone
connection. The Journal contrasts this
condition with that which confronted
the people of the Eastern seaboard
on the occasion of President Tafts
inauguration only five years ago, when
a devastating sleet and snowstorm for
hours isolated Washington and made
communication of any sort with the
rest of the country impossible.
The change has been accomplished
by placing the telephone wires In the
territory named under ground. 1t was
this "fall-down" at a time when the
whole nation was striving to get into
touch with the national capital that
prompted Theodore N. Vail to attempt
to solve the problem Of burying the
w1res-one not SO simple as might be
imagined, for at that time the art of
telephony had not reached a stage
where the running Of huge under
ground cables was possible. Thousands
of dollars and years Of effort were
necessary for the experimental work
leading up to the triumph of a COM
municating service that will defy
storm and food, wind and weather.
Marvels Of scientific and business
accomplishment come so rapidly these
days that we pause scarcely moment
to think of feats that a half-century
agone would have furnished material
for worldwide discussion in the news
papers and magazines. Service Is the
watchword of the day and we have
grown so used to having those whom
we employ to render 1t doing the i'm
possible for us that we have come to
accept it all as a matter of course.
this latest achievement
in the telephone world marks a step
Forward of more than ordinary mag
nltude; one, indeed, that indicates the
beginning of. the end of the overhead
wire through towns and across
country.

A SUGGESTION REPEATED

NV IlI1lN the neN several weeks
M Council will change the names
w of 150-odd streets in this city.
Nothing but the heartiest
commendation can be given this action.
In many parts of the city names of
thoroughfares have been duplicated.
In others obsolete names are in use.
In still others, particularly in the East
End, many streets between the regu-
larly numbered highways are named
halves, as Twentieth and HALF
street.
Several times the Telegraph has
suggested that many of the important
thoroughfares might be named for dis
tinguished Governors of the State.
Apropos of the present discussion the
suggestion is repeated.
Doesn't it seem fitting that the capi-
tai of Pennsylvania name It's streets
after the executives who have lived
and made State history here? Doesn't
il seem better than naming the high
ways after flowers or berries, for in
stance?

BETTER HOUSING CONDITIONS

TN view of the recent investigations

L and the Civic Club in Harrisburg.
the announcement that a State
housing conference is to be held here
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
April 6, and s, is of more than ordi-
nary interest.
The object of the organization II is
intended to form at that time will be
the improvement of housing conditions
in Pennsylvania by ascertaining and
giving publicity to existing conditions
and promoting legislation, community
planning and replanning with a view
of obtaining comfortable houses at
low rent for wage -earners and the
greatest efficiency from public utilities
in serving such houses
Harrisburg has improved wonder
fully in this respect in the past Years.
but DR.. Raunicks reports, recently
published by this newspaper. show
that many OF our people still live in
badly constructed, poorly ventilated.
unsanitary buildings We have much
to learn and much to do along this
line.
But the proposed housing asso-
clation must not overstep. There were
indications of mistaken zeal OIL the
part of housing experts during the last
session of the Legislature that if sup
ported by the legislation sought would
have invaded the personal liberties of
every housekeeper in Philadelphia.
There is distinct trend toward better
living conditions and public sentiment
will stand back of any practical effort
in that direction-but it must be prac-
tical, not theoretical or so mandatory
as to be unpopular.
