A PROPER PENALTY

vN view of the large number of auto
mobile accidents that have oc-
! Cured in Harrisburg and imme-
diate vicinity within recent weeks
the penalty meted out by a Buffalo
Judge to an Erie chauffeur the other
day ought to be warning to Joy
riders" as to what some of them may
receive in the local courts if they are
not more careful.
In this particular case nobody was
injured, but the car was badly broken
and lives were endangered all along
the course of the flying car. There
was no question at all of the drivers
guilt and the judge assessed against
him a fine of $3.50. When the con-
victed driver and employer protested
that this was excessive, the judge re-
piled that he was confident that while
this might be the opinion of those who
had disobeyed the law, he felt certain
that the public would regard the pun
ishment as not very severe in view of
the circumstances.
1t might be well for prosecutions to
be pushed in some such cases about
Harrisburg. The practice of dashing
hither and thither regardless of the
rights of pedestrians, as long as the
gasoline holds out, is more prevalent
than it ought to be. Unquestionab bly
while there may be extenuating cir
cumstances in some cases, fast driving
has been responsible for a large num-
ber of deaths and injuries throughout
Central Pennsylvania during the last
few months. The lives of pedestrians
are at stake and all careful drivers
of automobiles will agree that there
is no punishment too severe for the
man who places his own pleasure
above the safety of those who walk
the roads.

WAITING FOR WARBURG

NQUEST1ONABI+Y President
Wilson is chagrined over his
inability to force the Senate to
confirm Mr.. Jones as a member
of the Federal Reserve Board. Mr..
Wilson excuses his inability to die
tate to the upper House in a lot of
high-sounding phrases through every
one of which the observing reader may
note a vein of personal vexation.
President Wilson has himself to
blame for his defeat. Previous to his
election and during almost the entire
first year of his administration. in
public and private utterances, he did
his best to discredit before the people
the representatives of big business. Mr..
Jones is a director in the Harvester
Trusts" AS the President SAYS. he is
no doubt a man of ability and high
personal character, but he bears the
stamp that the President himself
placed upon him, and it is little won
der that the Senate, which has contin-
ually heard from the White House the
refusal of its occupant to even give so
much as hearing on questions of leg
islation to such men as Mr.. Jones, de-
clined to place him in a place of high
authority in national affairs. AS Mr..
Wilson says, it is unfortunate that
class distinction should enter into such
important matters of government as
this, but the President himself is en-
tirely to blame
Relieved by the withdrawal of the
nomination of Mr.. Jones, Administra-
ton Senators now await the decision
of the President in the case of the
second nominee, Paul M. Warburg. 1t
is but natural that Senators Hitchcock
and Reed, the Democratic members of
the banking and currency committee
who made the confirmation of Jones
impossible, and who were berated by
the President for so doing, are expect
ed to make a statement hostile to
Warburg as soon as the White House
indicates that the local banker is to
stay in the fight. The two Democratic
Senators are expected to ask for light
upon Warburgs alleged authorship of
the Aldrich currency bill and his exact

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

THERE are very distinct and grow
ing signs that Colonel Roosevelt
= is planning to be the Republican
nominee for President in 1916
Political forecasters have been pre-
dieting this ever since the ColonePs
return from South America and il
becomes more and more evident that
they have not been far astray.
Word now comes from Oyster Bay
that William w. Cox, of Westbury,
who represented that Congressional
district when Colonel Roosevelt was
in the White House. and who is a
close friend of the former President,
is to be nominated on both the Pro-
gressive and Republican tickets this
year.
Mr.. Cox was one of the participants
in get together" feast at Oyster
Bay yesterday. At the conclusion of
the conference he expressed the belief
that Republicans and Progressives
the nation will see the wis
dom of joining forces this year to elect
a Congress opposed to the Wilson ad-
ministration. Mr.. Cox has been for
years one of the Colonel's intimates,
is a frequent visitor to Sycamore Hill
and is believed to reflect the Colonels
views when he advocates a working
agreement between the two parties.

OH, YOU CHICKENS!

Joseph Daniels is a great man and
a wise man. He now reposes in the
swivel chair which gives him the title
of Secretary of the Navy. But his
tastes are simple, not to say bland and
bucolic.
The first thing he did when he set
tied in Washington was to buy ninety
chickens. And each morning, as the
sun sucked up the dew, and the fra
grant breezes brought him him the Of
ferings of violets and roses, he set sail
for the henhouse. At this writing, his
record has been find of nineteen eggs
in one morning.
However" he says, when these
chickens become accustomed to the
depressing Washington climate, their
batting average will go up."-The
Popular Magazine.

TEARING UP THE PARK

IT is regrettable that the Legislature
did not give the City Planning
1 Commission authority over such
matters as that involved in the
ripping open of the River Front Park
for the laying of water mains. II
should be a part OF the duties of this
commission to prevent just such
crimes against the beauties of the city
as this threatens to be.
The fact that thousands of people
will be barred from the use of the
River Front Park during the time
this Improvement" is in progress of
construction is grievous enough in it.
self, but it is really very small con-
sideration in comparison with the ulti-
mate damage that will result from the
destruction of trees that have required
years upon years to grow. The park
strip would be a very poor recreation
place, indeed, If it were not for the
shade of these beautiful trees, some
of them as old as the city itself, and
all of them of a value that cannot
be computed in dollars and cents.
Even with the most careful work on
the part of the contractors, the laying
of the pipes as contemplated through
the park will unquestionably necessi-
tate severance of many of the top
roots, and it will be surprising indeed
If a large number of the trees are not
either so seriously damaged as to
cause their early death, if not killed
outright.
The ground upon which the contract
was let for the placing of this pipe
in the park instead of in the street,
where it belongs, was purely that of
economy. Four thousand dollars, we
are told, will be saved to the city by
this plan, but in the light of the time
required to produce them and all the
years of work and expenditure neces-
sary to bring them to a state of ma
turity and beauty such as we now see
along the River Front, how can a few
thousand dollars be compared with
the wonderful growth of trees that
adorns this popular resting place?
1t is a short-sighted policy that
places money value on such beauties
at Harrisburg possesses in these ma
jestic trees, and If many of them are
killed or seriously damaged by the
contractors, the blame must unques-
tionably lie with those who have in
sistad that the work be done in this
manner.

q PPARENTDY there is moro of
~ truth than William G. McAdoo,
I = Secretary of the Treasury,
would like to have known in the
controversy that has been aroused by
his personal use of the government
revenue cutters. On July IL Repre-
sentative Good, of Iowa, in a speech
in the House, accused Secretary Nc
Adoo of "joyriding' on these cutters
in violation of the law that prohibits
the employment Of such vessels for
personal use."
Later Secretary McAdoo wrote a let
ter denying the truth of this accusa-
ton and declared that he travelled on
revenue cutters as an administrative
head of the service for the purpose of
familiarizing himself with the opera
tions and duties of such vessels. He
denied with heat the charge that a
revenue cutter came to Washington
cratic officeholders for "joyrides'
down the Potomac river.
According to the latest facts dug up
by Mr.. Good, Secretary McAdoo has
been doing just exactly what the Iowa
member first charged. 1t is shown
that the revenue cutter Apache during
the entire season has been leaving
Washington every Saturday afternoon
loaded to capacity with Democratic
place-holders and politicians selected
by the Secretary of the Treasury and
his assistants for a cruise down the
Potomac. The Apache returns to
Washington on Monday morning, dis
charges her precious cargo and goes
back to Baltimore.
Despite all that Mr.. McAdoo may
say concerning the official business
that required such use of government
property, the fact remains that he has
been using the revenue cutter as a
private yacht for private purposes. This
is sample of real Democratic econ
omy and Mr.. Good is quite within the
bounds of propriety when he asks If
this is performance of the Democratic
platform pledge, I'VE demand a return
to that simplicity and economy which
BELTS Democratic government"

HOG CHOLERA IN AMERICA

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Spring gfield, Ohio, appears the
following:
Senator w. S. Kenyon, OF Iowa, is
pursuing the hog-cholera germ with
a vegeance. He is so in earnest over
the situation that he did not wait for
the agricultural appropriation bill, but
introduced his own bill asking for one
half million dollars to stamp out this
disease
Hog cholera take an annual toll of
ten pounds fof pork for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Iowa sloss is about sixty-two pounds
per person, and 1t is increasing "It is
all right said Senator Kenyon, to
economize, but not to economic on
the farm problems that concern the
food supply of the country
HE has worked out plan whereby
the manufacture and distribution Of
worthless serum can be stopped and
the hog-cholera campaign carried on
with an absolute certainty of its sue
cess"

THE SERVANT


He who will serve is a servant
Yea servant of high degree,
For he stands by highest or lowliest
With eyes clear-visioned to see.
He who will serve is a brother.
In the brotherhood, warm and brave
That is broad as the race and as tender
AS the Brother who came to save.
He who will serve is a lover:
All service were else in vain
From heart that makes all the world
sweeter,
He labors more lovers to gain.
He who will serve is a teacher
For many shall learn at his feet
The art of all arts the noblest,
OF turning life's bitter to sweet
The truth of all truths the deepest,
Whose knowing must make men
The skill of all skills the finest.
OF training to do and to be.
He who will serve shall be master,
Ruling and serving in one,
TIL multitudes league with the leader
And the undone work can be done.
