\ CENTURY OF SERVICE

Wh. .ss ks on ''g ,s. sls asn,p beginning OF s'
w Tonight the Hope Fire Com
pany will conclude century
of service to the community and will
very properly celebrate the event with
jubilation and good fellowship. With
municipal organizations passing into
the second century of their history
Harrisburg may begin to cherish ira
ditions and look back with some pride
upon the antiquity Of its institutions.
The Hope company itself has num-
bered among its members many of the
most distinguished men OF the city.
We look with smile of kindly humor
over the records of the company. to
where $. Vein Forney. an editor of
earlier days. was fined for not run
ming with the machine;" to the fact
that William kepner. first Mayor of
Harrisburg, was a member of the
horse committee" and that fee of
20 cents was exacted from Secre-
tary of War Simon Cameron be-
cause he failed to help clean the
hose after n fire. Those were the
good old days when citizens of all
walks of life took active part in the
affairs of the municipality, before the
size of the town made it necessary for
the work TO he divided and delegated
TO specially selected persons or groups,
Through it all it is remarka BILE to
note that the organization of the Hope
company has been maintained with
scarcely break and that it is doing
as effectively to-day the work 1t was
formed to do as it did a century ago.
The Hope company is living up to
very brilliant past and It is the hope of
all its friends that the century to come
will find it as useful an influence in
the community as II has been in tho
days asone.

THE FUTURE BRIGHTENS

" HERE is no marked enthusiasm
in business circles at the OPEN
l. ing of the year. but among all
thoughtful businessmen there is
a disposition TO regard the future with
conservative optimism. Reports from
all sections of the country indica te
that manufacturers are inclined to look
ing more hopeful situation than was
the case during the last half of the
old year.
Getting rid of the tariff and cur
rency uncertainties has, in a measure.
relieved the situation of the elements
of doubt which surrounded business
and commercial activities during the
past few months. 1t is believed more
elastic conditions in the financial world
VIII have a tendency to strengthen the
business situation and encourage
greater activity in industrial circles.
Radicalism is disappearing some
what from the political horizon, and
there is less ambition on the part of
those who have exploited business for
political reasons TO pursue that line of
policy.
Altogether the nation is preparing
to so ahead. and even the political
and industrial unrest will not alto
gether hinder the development which
is inevitable in country with the tre-
mendous resources of the United
States.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S RESPONSE
nItITN

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t is high time that the responsible
ity for the acts of the administra ton
was placed where il rightfulIy belongs
The place is the White House. The
shoulders to bear the burden are those
of the President For the things that
are done aud the things that are left
undone. there is one person responsible
and but one, and that person is Wood
row Wilson.
Heretofore both people and press
have been lenient Happenings in gov
ernmental affairs have been laid at
other doors than those of the White
House. Cabinet officers have been
criticised, minor officials have been
been blamed. The arrow of reproach has
been directed at other targets. In many
matters the administration has been
tried in the balance and found want
ing. yet the President has been spared
No longer should the criticism and
the blame be shifted from where II
rightfully belongs. The responsibility
belongs to the man in the White
House. Each appointment is his APP
poiutment. each office bargain Is his
bargain. each act OF his official family
is his own act Tic man who is on
trial before the country is Woodrow
Wilson.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

@ITY COMMISSIONER TAYLOR
is on the right track in his decla-
~ ration that progress will be made
more rapidly by careful action
now in the matter of the parks and
the FIRE department than through in
Considerate changes without a definite
purpose in view.
His announced policy of retaining
Warren Fl. Manning, the landscape
architect who has been the consulting E
expert from the inception of the park
movement. will he approved by all
good citizens, as will also his decision
TO invite the Park Board to continue
to serve the city in an advisory ca
pacity.
Mr.. Taylor could not have done any,
thing that would more highly conf
mend him or more firmly install him
as an official in the confidence of the
people.
Harrisburg has reason to be proud
of it's parks and the authorization of a
further loan of 100000 to complete
the park system is the best evidence
of the general interest of the people
in their outdoor recreation places.
1t is also encouraging to observe in
Mr. Taylor's attitude a disposition to
bring to the discharge of his duties
conservative thought and action. He
proposes to move slowly in the making
of changes SO that there may be no
reasonable criticism on the score of
undue haste.
Economy. consistent with the best
results, is to be practiced by the mem
bers of the City Commission, and
while they believe that a nonpartisan
government does not necessarily mean
the retention in office of all officials
and subordinates of previous admin
istration, they are obviously of the
opinion that removals should be made
only for the good of the service.
After all, the people of Harrisburg
are going to Judge the Commission on
the results rather than upon unim-
portant changes of employees in one
department or another.

AN ANTIDoTE FOR PEssIMIsM
Editor and Publisherl


1t does ones heart good to read over
the statistics presented in bulletin
issued this week by the Department of
Agriculture. IL there Is anyone who
thinks the country is going to the
dogs he ought to go into a quiet room
somewhere and sit down and let the
information 1t contains slowly per-
meate the intricate chambers of his
brain. When he gets through read
ing 1t, he will, il he is honest, feel like
going out and spending real money.
According to the Secretary of Agri-
culture the value of farm products for
1913 reaches the incomprehensible
sum of s9.750, 100000. OF this amount
Sc, 100, 900, 900 represents the value of
all the crops and sS,650.0O0.0O0 the
farm value of animals sold and slaugh-
tered and of animal products. The
net farm income is $4,074,o27,499.
which. you will admit. is a tidy little
sum to tuck away in stockings and
other receptacles for savings.

THE THRIFvTIEST CITY

"H He Chamber of Commerce OF
oil City, through its secretary,
i Ira L. Wales, asserts that mu-
nicipality is the thriftiest city in
the United States. He challenges the
American Society for Thrift to pro-
siuce a more prosperous community.
Mr.. Wales bases his challenge on
figures and quotes them. The per
capita deposits of the banks of Oil
City amount to s54S. This figure he
obtained by dividing the figures rep
resenting the total deposits of the
banks by figures representing the total
population of the town.
With population of $4,000, one
bank alone had a total Christmas
saving fund of s1S6.000.
We imagine that Chicago or New

perity. would have some difficulty in
showing anything like such material

POULTRY AND GARDENING:

THE day of the seed and poultry
catalogue approacheth. Already
i advance copies of the seductive
booklets are turning up in the
morning mails. Many a man is now
planning n chicken house that will
never be built or laying out a garden
that will never be dug. But for all
that the chicken and the seed house
catalogs serve a very useful purpose.
They make us see the green plants
beneath the snowdrifts and hear
the plaintive peep of the downy chick
above the howl of the winter Winds
They speak to us in soothing tones of
the balmy spring-time and they turn
our thoughts from the lethargy of
fireside loungng TO the healthy activi-
tics of outdoors.
To the owner of a garden there is
no pleasanter pastime than to lol of
nm evening in an easy chair and leaf
the brilliant pages of his new cata-
