GOOD WORK OF THE FIREMEN

1t was astonishing how many persons in Market
Square last night thought they knew more about
handling the big fire there than the fremen who
were engaged in the task. One could not go any
where in the big crowd without encounterng some
body willing to tell how things ought to be done,
possibly for his own enjoyment; hardly for any
one else s.
Many on-lookers, of course, kept their eyes open
and their mouths closed and were, to all appear
ances, satisfied with the intelligent work of the
ire-fghters, offering objections and vouchsafng
suggestions. However, whenever the fremen
started fresh attack on the flames from new
vantage point there. plenty of the idle ones
among the spectators ready and willing to tell how
in their judgment it could be done better. If all
their alleged valuable suggestions had been followed
by the the ladders and at the nozzes there
would doubtless have been little chance of saving
the block
Chief Kinder and his smoke eaters had to fight
one of the most dangerous fires in the history of
Harrisburg and they are to be congratulated to
man their efficient work which confined the
flames to the Kaufman stores and saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of property in a most
thickly congested business section

all Socialist parties of neutral countries

THE NEW GOVERNOR

With appropriate festivities DR.. Martin g. Brum-
,baugh was inauguraed to-day as Governor of
Pennsylvania. The big parade was great success
and what probably was the largest crowd that ever
attended an Inauguration here entered into the
holiday spirit of the occasion and had thoroughly
happy time.
Next for consideration come the more serious
affairs of state. The new Governor and the new
Legislature will plunge right into the work of
taking up for consideration the readjustments in
the affairs of the Commonwealth that are con-
eeded to be necessary.
The inaugural address of Dr. Brumbaugh is
ght-from-the shoulder utterance which com
promises with one. 1t has the same ring that
DR.. Brumbaughs utteranceS had before election
and contains the same definite promises that he
made when he was in quest of votes. Closer anay-
Sis of the Governor remarks will perhaps be more
appropriate later but it can be said in passing
that the new Governors inaugural speech taken as
whole, makes decidedly favorable impression
on those who honestly hope for a clean, unoossed
administration of the states affairs in the next
four years.

That thou canst stay the ruthless hands
Of dark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by thy STERN command
The battles lost, the soldiers slain;

Thou bring'st the wanderer home

BUILDING BRIDGES FOR YOUTH

There is something appealing about that story,
whenever it is told, of the old man who approached
a chasm in the twilight of his life and crossed it
with ease but before he went onward built bridge
across it,-not because he would pass that way
again and might need it, but because younger men
were coming after him who might not be able to get
over the dangerous place easily as had he. He
was offering assistance to youth, magnanimouSly
planning for posterity.
In the twilight of life, after broad experience
in the things and the ways of the world many
things are known which III the dawn of life are
not even guessed at, yet this knowledge born of eX
perence is good for nothing when the power to use
it is gone unless it is utilized in the building of
bridges which possessors of fresh energies may
pass,-the youth of the time.
Yes, if age but had the power and youth the ex
perence, wonders might be accomplished Even
the fulillment of only one of these conditions would
have its possibilities. Youth cannot give age power
yet age to some extent give youth the benefit
of experience. BY spanning chasms with bridges
after they have successfully made their way across
old men aid the progress of the human race by en-
abling the succeeding generations to advance
farther than their own.
The dreams which old men dream are not made
of such stuff the visions which young men
see, and it may be difficult sometimes for the two
extremes in life's mutually to understand
each other. Yet if the old men aid the young men
to the best of their knowledge of youths needs and
desires; guide them and direct them and build
bridges for them, the young men will profit by the
assistance to the best of their understanding and
it is certain will never miss the opportunities to
cross the bridges and forge ahead
