CAPITOL HILL
HEAD OF HIGHWAY SYSTEMS
VISITS State OFFICIALS.
Harold Parker, of Massachusetts,. Calls
On Commissioner Cunningham and
Chief Engineer Uhler-Interested
In Good Roads Day. Plans !.

Among the callers ON State High
way Commissioner Cunningham yester-
day was Harold Parker, of Massachu-
sets, the father of the State highway
system now in force in many States.
When the Massachusetts State High
way Commission was established in
1898, Mr.. Parker 5 advice was sought
as TO the best method of procedure.
He advised that a line of highways
connecting the more important popu-
lated centers of the State be selected
and designated as State highways.
This was done and Massachusetts was
the first State to have State highway
system. In 1900 Mr.. Parker became a
member of the Massachusetts commits.
sion and served continuously until
1912, being chairman of the commits
sion the latter part of his term. In
1912 the State of New York, wishing
to reorgauize their highway depart
ment under Commissioner Carlisle, en-
gagged Mr.. Parker in an advisory capa.
city to assist in the reorganization.
Mr.. Parker, who has known High.
way Commissioner Cunningham for
number of years and who is intimately
acquainted with Chief Engineer Uhler,
stopped over in Harrisburg to pay his
respects TO these two officials. He was
greatly interested in Pennsylvania 5
plans for ''Good Roads Day. and
in the program for maintenance and re-
pair work which has been mapped out
by Commissioner Cunningham.

The Company's Supreme Duty

The company owes a supreme duty
to its patrons and employees to take
all possible measures to insure safety
of operation. Such safety cannot be
secured without the most careful ad-
herence to orders. The management
has, therefore felt that it should resist
firmly all activities of employees or,
ganizations which might tend, in the
least, to undermine discipline.
"The management is also response
BILE to the public for maintaining con.
tinuity of operation. This has made
necessary policy of opposition to such
labor organizations as might interrupt
that continuity because of disputes with
which neither this company nor its EN-
ployes had any direct relation. The
company is, therefore, opposed to EN-.
ployes affiliating themselves with an
organization which might call SYM
pathetic strike. If there is to be any
strike on this railroad the management
believes that it should be the result of
the choice of its own employees, and
because of some difference between this
company and its own men, and for no
other reason.

SAVE THE BIRDS.

Long and persistent efforts have been made to give added protection o song birds, wild fowl and migra- Ory birds and the result has been that treater attention has been brought to uch matters and that legislative acts lad a good effect upon those who were inclined to destroy simply for the lleastlre. which they derived from the port of shooting.

DEMOCRATS AND A cLoTuRE
 RULE

Whether or not the democratic 1ead- CTS who have been advocating it will insist upon making a change in the senate rules whereby it will mean the establishment of a cloture, a parlia mentary method of ending a debate and securing an immediate vote upon measure before a legislative body, remains to be seen.
 It has been prompted by the experi- ences of the past which have resulted In the defeat of certain measures through f1libusters to which even those who might have been bound by caucus action have given support, but the idea of shutting off expression or deliberation for the purpose of jam ming through bills which are detri- mental to the nations welfare is a dangerous one. The fact Is that any move which is made in behalf of a cloture rule is undemocratic. It means the denial of the right to be heard to those who may be in the minority and 1t would give control entirely to one section of the country. Likewise does it mean the checking of much of the information and more es- pecially the facts about certain meas ures which it is better to know and which those who are representing the various states of the union should know before action is taken.
 Thus to shut off debate in the sen- ate is as dangerous as it would be in any deliberatfve body, and when the democrats stop to think that what ever step they might take in this di- recticn would react upon the minority, which they have for so many. years constituted and promise to again in the future, the wisdom of leaving rules as they are, even though they are today in the ma ajority, ought to make itself felt.

SHOP EARLY.

With Christmas less than four weeks off and the postoffice depart ment urging the people to cooperate with it in the handling of the large increase in business which always oc- CUTS at this season by the early send ing of packages, it is we'll that that same spirit should be applied to all Christmas shopping. Early Christmas shopping reacts to the benefit of all concerned as has been demonstrated every year since the movement was started.
 Convenience, consideration of oth- CTS, better satisfaction in making pur- chases and in filling wants, and more attentive salespeople all result from joining in this effort instead of wait ing until the last ten days. week or minute and contributing to the con- eusion which is so we'll known on those occasions. 2, There are a great many who can shop early just as well as they can do 1t late. The delay with them is chiefly the result of procrasti- nation and with the business houses getting out their holiday stocks of goods there is absolutely no excuse for it.
 Even though Christmas shopping has undergone a wonderful change in the last few years there is plenty of opportunity for the appeal being made In behalf of a large number who have not as yet taken advantage of its ben eflts. Even though the advantages of early trading when the counters are not beset by crowds as on bargain days, or during limited sales make no appeal to purchasers it is but right that they should have some regard for those who are back of the coun- ters doing the selling. The opportu- nifty for extending relief to those who are overworked through shopping delay is at hand and it should be rec ognized
