New Potato Found.

A new blight-proOf and frost-resistina
potato has been discovered by John Harris,
Of Raethi. New Zealand
Mr.. Harris has been experimenting with
potatoes for many years. and some time
ago he noticed healthy stalk growing
among crop Of Northern Stars and FL
Dorados. all Of which were affected by
blight.
The variety has been placed under the
closest observation, but on no occasion has
there been the slightest trace Of blight or
disease caused by frost, though the crop
planted next TO 1t has been blackened by
severe cold, and is even now badly affected.

NO FUSION FOR LEWIS

THE activity of Dean Lewis.
Washington party candidate for
= governor, indicates that he
meant just what he said last
week when he put his veto on the
fusion proposal. Nonsense" said the
dean; there is nothing doing"
The scheme originated In Market
Square, Harrisburg, and had for its
purpose to give Mccormick the fusion
nomination for governor; name a
Finn man for lieutenant-governor and
another Finn man for secretary of
internal affairs. There cannot, of
course, be any open community of in
terest between the two parties on
United States senator or congress at
large, and, consequently, 1t is the pur-
pose to permit Palmer, Pinchot and
the congressional candidates to remain
in the field. The whole thing was a
'frame-up" for Mccormick.
The failure of Dean Lewis to fall
into the trap set for him has left both
the Democrats and Progressives in a
most embarrassing position. In pro-
posing fusion both Democrats and
Washingtonians virtually admitted
they have no prospect of winning
against the Republicans. This con-
fession is plea-ing news to the host of
Republican voters in Pennsylvania.
Even though they have known it right
along it is some satisfaction to realize
that the enemy is willing to acknoW3-

CHRISTIAN CHINA

NUTRIENT events indicate that II
is not over-zeal that prompts the
- missionary heads of the vari-
Gus church denominations in the
United States to unite in holding that
China is ripe for evangelization. This
is evident from the number of new
faiths" reported in China.
For instance, Liang Tun-yen, China's
minister of communications, is apply
ing the progressive principles he alb
sorbed while q student at Yale Uni
versity in carrying out the recent
mandate as to secret societies which
are in most cases of purely religious
nature. Mr.. Liang has scotched the
attempt of a seditious sect to endanger
the operation of railroads, through a
conspiracy cloaked under the name
and style of the Railway Employees
Union.
1t must not for moment be sup
posed that Liang or any important
Chinese official takes exception to
trade unions in the broad acceptation
of the term. Trade guilds. fiourished

WHERE THE FARMER SUCCEEDS
WITHOUT RAIN

One of the greatest and most tri-
umphant agricultural booms in the
world is to be found in Africa--tne dry
land farmer of central Tunis. where
the rainfall is less than ten inches.
This success is astonishing in the face
of the uncertainty, dread. and failure

of local failure l would cite the OBJ
servations of an agricultural scientist
on a recent ninety mile Journey in the
southern "art of the Great Plains,
wheer the rainfall averages twenty
inches. In the ninety miles traversed
there was but one surviving settler and
not even a cattle ranch. The dry farm
ers had pushed out the cattlemen, and
the recent droughts had pushed out the
dry farmers-all but one--in a strip as

THAT ARDENT REFoRMER
THAT ardent reformer, President
Wilson, is lodging again.

"HAT ardent reformer, President
Wilson, is lodging again.
Just as he hedged on equal
suffrage until driven into a
corner from which there was no
escape, he is now trying to conceal
his views on the temperance question.
The Hobson prohibition amendment
has been before Congress ever since it
convened. There is little chance that
it will be acted on before next winter.
Whether this will be beneficial to the
'drys" or the 'wets" is a thing apart.
The voting public has right to know
where the President and the Demo-
cratic Congress stand on this ques-
tion-a question that is growing yearly
In interest and which is bound soon
to assume national political import
ance, If it has not done so already.
The President does not want the
vote to be taken at this time because
he is playing as much for the liquor
vote" as he is for that of the pro-
hibitionists. He is trying to carry
water on both shoulders. He is afraid
to come boldly out, as he ought to do
If he is to be consistent in his atti-
tude of bossing Congress, and tell the
little men who do his bidding how they
should vote to best please the Admin
istratioh.

America was dreamed of in Europe.
No matter how humble the craft,
every workman has his guild to pro-
tect him. II is not, therefore, in or
ganized trade unions that China sees
a menace to the peace and prosperity
of the nation. 1t is in the multitude
of, mushroom-like "faked faiths" that
are springing up in many parts of
China, gaining a hold on the people
through the veil of near-mystery that
attaches to them, and teaching the
initiated (who have incidentally paid
an Initiation fee') fantastic religious
conceptions.
The very fact that these new
faiths are so popular indicates a
spiritual unrest among the people that
should give the Christian missionaries
such an opportunity to, spread the
gospel as they have never before en-
joyed.

TOW that 1t has been determined
M by the City Council, against the
v protest of the Department of
Parks and City Property, to
install a large water main in the
River Front park from North street
to Paxton street, the only thing left
for the people is the hope that the
work will be done with great care in
order that as little damage to the park
and trees may be entailed as possible
under the circumstances. Placing this
large main the city's most prominent
park on the score of economy is like
building a house on sand to save the
cost Of the foundation. 1t is saving at
the spigot and losing at the bung.
Commissioner Bowman has done
some very creditable things since he
became head of the Department of
Public Safety, especially in the mat
ter of economy of service and opera
ton, but we believe his inslstence upon
this large water main going through
a park that is constantly used is a
mistake of judgment
However, since it has been decided
that this is the way the pipe shall be
laid, it is only reasonable to expect
that unusual care will be exercised
in the digging of the trench. so that
the splendid trees in the way are not
damaged or the beauty of the park
destroyed.

VALLEY RAILWAYS TERMINAL,

VTITH regard to the Valley Rail-
w ways Company, this COM
munity says Welcome to our
city," but our friends on the
other side of the river ought not to be
unreasonable in their requests for oc-
cupancy of our streets. Harrisburg
has been doing much to improve the
city in the creation of parks, play
grounds, the construction of sanitary
sewers, the betterment of the River
Front and the elimination of the Pax
ton creek nuisance, not to mention
the passing of the overhead wires, and
local public utility companies are CO.
operating in this program of better
ment.
Under the circumstances our neigh
bors who accept our hospitality ought
not to violate the ordinary ethics that
obtain among polite people.
II we must have a third track half
way through Market Square and two
tricks in Market street between the
Square and Front street, in order to
accommodate our crossriver friends.
then we must, and that's all there is to
it; but 1t would seem that careful
consideration of the interests of all
concerned might develop some other
feasible plan of providing proper ter
minal facilities for the Important sub
urban lines from the other side of the
Susquehanna.

WHEN THE FOLKS COME BACK

by Wing Dinger
Gee, whiz, but i've been busy
At home, these past few nights,
In wedding lawn and garden
And setting things to rights.
I've moved the front and back lawns
And then on hands and knees
I've trimmed the edges neatly
And fixed things up to please.
I've used the hose quite freely
To give the plants drink;
I've done more things about home
Than ever. so l think.
But, holy smokes, things looked bad,
1 had to set them right,
Because the absent family
Comes home tomorrow night.

SPANISH IN THE SCHOOLS

IN recommending the study of
Spanish in the public schools of
i Harrisburg, the Telegraph unwit-
tingly endorsed a suggestion along
that line made by Henry c. Orth on
May 29, 1908. when he was president
of the Board of Control.
Mr.. Orth's report for the year in
cluded the following paragraph:
Graduates from the commercial
section of the High School are Gag
@ busness % men tn on aecoRnnt eGRiTfmfnt of their I
proficiency in bookkeeping, stenog-
raphy and typewriting. The Gov
ernment, by. the fortunes of war,
has within the nast FIVE years ac-
quired territory inhabited by peo-
pie speaking the Spanish language.
The official and commercial Ian
guage for generations to come,
naturally. will be of that tongue,
and I advance the suggestion that
the study of the Spanish language
be added to the curriculum of this
department, thereby increasing its
Importance.
What a splendid handicap our
graduates would have had over those
of other cities to-day If the school d.
rectors had followed Mr. Orth's ad-
vice. There is no doubt that places of
more than ordinary Importance and
remuneration await those who can
speak Spanish and who are educated
along modern business lines. Spanish
will be the language in which much
of our business correspondence of the
future must be conducted II we are
to take full advantage of the Panama
Canal, and the American representa-
tive in Central and South America will
be at loss unless he can speak the
prevailing tongue of those countries.
1t is pleasing to note that Har-
risburg educator was among the first
to see the necessity of adapting our
school course to new conditions, but
it is to be regretted that the local
school authorities have been behind
those of many other cities in working
out the recommendation.
