- ENATOR WILLIAM e. CROW,
chairman of the Republican
~ State committee, in a recent
statement regarding the party
organization, declared that the Re-
publican party should be conserva-
lively progressive; mark me, conserva-
lively progressive"
In this conclusion Chairman Crow
was absolutely correct. There is no
occasion for hysterical or fad legisla-
ton nor for those radical measures
which have numbered the statute
books to the point of public exaspera-
ton. All progress should be along
conservative lines, and it is manifestly
the desire of all classes of our people
to get back 90 solid ground and to get
away as far as possible from the purely
theoretical proposals which have ha-
rassed the business community and
thrown thousands of honest workers
into idleness.
1t is for this reason the Telegraph
recently suggested that the approach
ing session of the Legislature should
be q business session, passing only
such laws as are absolutely required
to make good the pledges of the Re-
publican party or manifestly desired
by the people, and to remedy existing
laws which are out of joint with the
time or which may have imposed
hardships upon the taxpayers contrary
to their purpose and intent. We still
believe that the whole business of the
Legislature of 1915, including the
passage of the necessary appropriation
bills could be disposed of in less than
two months. There is no occasion for
turning the Legislature into a debat-
ing society or a free-for-all mud
singing contest between parties, fac
tions or individuals.
The Governor-elect is believed to
be in sympathy with prompt and efi-
cient legislation, looking to the well
fare of the people, and there can be
little doubt that he will WELD his in
fiuence in such way as to make pos
sible a short session, alike creditable
to the Republican party and the new
administration.

QUARANTINE JUSTIFIED

TTHE report from Michigan that a
mother and child are i'll at Niles
- with foot and mouth disease
shows how we'll justified the
State and national authorities have
been in the precautionary measures
they have taken to halt the spread of
the epidemic. At the same time there
need be little fear on the part of Har-
risburg people that either our milk
or meat supply is contaminated. A
very close and effective system of cat
tie inspection is in operation and the
infected premises have been thor
oughly quarantined.
Commencing with a sudden fever,
the foot and mouth disease soon re-
veals itself through the formation of
blisters on the tongue and in the
mouth and nostrils, and on other parts
of the body where the skin is thin,
especially on the tender parts of the
feet. The immediate effect is that the
animal has difficulty in feeding and
develops lameness. The disease can
be transmitted to most domestic ami
mails horses seeming to be the least
susceptible, while sheep, goats or
swine are it's chief victims.
Not many of our stock-growers had
knowledge of the nature of the foot
and mouth disease when it's existence
at the Chica go Stock Yards was first
reported by agents of the Federal
Government. No trace of it appar-
emily has been noted in the United
States since 1870, except sporadic
outbreak some years ago, when 1t was
introduced from Canada, where it had
been brought by cattle from England.

Germany were swept by the plague

A COLLEGE IN ITSELF

."HE Wharton School branch of
the University of Pennsylvania,
= recently established in Harris
burg, shows steady and healthy
growth. The number of students en-
rolled is nearly double the minimum
fixed by the university to insure the
location of the school in this city and
the enthusiastic beneficiaries are do
ing missionary work throughout the
business establishments with which
they are connected.
Soon we shall expect to see the
Harrisburg public school district arise
to the duty of preparing students for
this university branch by night ses-
sions, even as it is proposed to give
boys who desire it the benefit of even
ing sessions at the Technical High
School.
Next year, it is believed, the in
coming class will be larger than that
up it will not be long before the Har-
risburg branch of the Wharton School
will be q college in itself, larger in
enrolment than many of the minor
colleges throughout the country. We
look forward to the day when the
State shall recognize this earnest ef-
fort to carry the university to the
people" by erecting for it home
along one of the two streets that will
face the Capitol Park Extension.

tel1igently upon it. It's effects upon
city government are still to be dem
onstrated. 1t is yet in the purely ex-
perimental stage. At least two more
years, and probably three, should be
permitted to pass before any attempt
is made to change the statute in any
of its fundamentals.
Then IL it is deemed necessary to
revise or reject it for something bet
ter we shall be in a position to act in
telligently. The third class cities of
Pennsylvania have been subjected to
sufficient experiment and expense at
the hands of raw theorists. The time
is here to study effects and arrive at
some sane, sensible and business-like
conclusion before going farther.

WAKING UP TOO LATE

~ RESIDENT WILSON, in letting
- 1t be known that he will not
= advocate the enactment of fur
ther radical legislation by Con-
gress during the remaining two years
of his administration, puts himself in
the position of the man who locks
his stable door after his horse is stolen
or the reckless engineer who an
nounces that henceforth he will be
careful after he has run his train
into a ditch.
President Wilson and his advisers
are "of the same. mind STILL" But
they are playing politics. They have
taken stock of the returns and have
found that, except in hide-bound
Democratic districts, the radicals of
their party were defeated on Novem-
ber s. They have concluded that the
public is tired of their theories and
experiments.
Z President lets it be known that
he believes the railroads require more
liberal treatment at the hands of the
lawmakers than they have been ac-
corded recently. He has indicated
that he will favor action that will
tend to relieve the pressure on them.
The public will not be deceived. All
that the Democratic party is seeking
now is retention of power. It's re-
duced majorit. in Congress has fright
ened it into a conciliatory attitude.
1t hopes to hide it's VOLTS hide under
q sheepskin.
That this is so is evident from the
announcement that the railroad Sc
curities bill, by the direction of the
President has been laid aside with
no thought of its enactment during
the next two years, although it's ulti-
mate revival should the Democrats be
returned to power in 1916 is not hard
to foresee. This bill, which would
have added greatly to the burdens of
the railroads, was framed at the sug-
gestion of President Wilson and he
and his supporters in Congress were
fully determined on putting it through
up to the third day of November last,
when the Republican landslide caused
Them to attempt a hasty sidestep.

With glee my face did beam.

Unconsciously the maid

That was upon me played.

From which hot water flows,
And up there meath the shower
An awful yell arose,
For suddenly the water,
That was so warm and nice
In temperature, changed quickly
To that of frozen ice.

Just to see how Tong it would take
a man of average intelligence to vote
the Pennsylvania ballot of last week
and to vote the California ballot a
couple of men were called in and given
the sheets. They were told to vote on
every office and on every question.
With the Pennsylvania ballot the men
were familiar. They had voted 1t.
One minute was the time taken and
even then the man was voting a ticket
which he had marked ten days ago.
Then, the man who was given the Cali
fornia ballot was allowed to read it
over. He did so and started out to
mark it as though he were voting. 1t
took nine and half minutes. And all
he had time to do was to vote by head
ings. He did not have time to read
the details.
And the California ballot did not
contain any place for straight
ticket!

How the tariff law operates to help

bulletin of the Bureau of Foreign and

Commerce, which shows n great in
crease in imports of eggs since October
last. when such shipments were admitted
on the free list.
Imports of eggs in the month OF De-
cember last amounted to 1,I14.29G dozen,
or more than in the entire fiscal wear
which ended June. 1913. the imports in
1903 were $500 dozens: in 1910 $4,000;
in 1913. $4,000 dozens; and in the first
three months under the new tariff act
October, November and December last
the imports aggregated 1.70l .l53 dozens,
most of which arrived III December.
The imported eggs came chiefly from
China, Siberia. Russia. and southern
Europe. Frozen Eggs. which still pay

such big increase in imports
Exports OF eggs for IN. year ending

While exports of eggs are still much
