CABINETS FOR THE GOVERNORS
Indianapolis Star.1

Former President Taft recommend
ed to those who are to shape the new
Constitution for the State of New
YORK that the federal cabinet be
adopted in connection with the EN-
pire State Government He would
nave the Governor appoint the heads
of the State departments. They
would be directly responsible to him.
Authority would be concentrated and
with that concentration of RESPONSE
billty might be expected increased
efficiency.
The suggestion is worth serious
consideration in all States. 1t is in
line with the arguments made on be-
half of the short ballot. At present
the voter is called upon to choose a
larger number of public officials who
should be selected because of special
training or fitness rather than on the
basis of political strength. The voters
know comparatively few of the can
didates, and often have neither the
data nor the ability to enable them
to act intelliSently in naming men for
some offices.
The voter generally knows what he

good as his word. He came to Sha-
mokin (now Sunbury). On his return
with the forty men who came with
him, they were attacked by Indians,
just north of Selinsgrove. About this
he wrote to Governor Norris: ION
the 25th day of this instant, in my
return with about forty men, at Mr..
PENIS Creek, we were attacked by
about twenty or thirty Indians, re-
ceived their fire, and about fifteen of
our men and myself took to trees and
attacked the villains, killed four of
them on the spot, and lost but three
men, retreating about half a mile
through the woods and crossing the
Susquehanna, one of which was shot
from off a horse riding behind my
self through the river. My horse was
wounded and falling In the river I
was obliged to quit him and swim
part of the way"
Thus 1t appears that the founder of
Harrisburg was engaged in this mas
sacre. For this and other reasons,
1t is hoped that Harrisburg people will
make 1t a point to follow the example
of their illustrious pioneer and come
up the river at the time of the ami
versary and see what is going on.
They will not be shot at nor will they
be asked to swim the river but, in
another way, they will be as welcome
as Harris was one hundred and sixty
years ago.

DESTRUCTIVE POSSIBILITIES
[Ohio State Ionrnal.1

[Ohio State Journal.1
A scientist has succeeded in produc-
ing temperature of over 1880 de-
grees Fahrenheit. That beats the
sun, which has only 10000 degrees of
heat. The scientist is German and
it may be that this high temperature
will be used in burning up Europe in
case the Allies are victorious, threat
expressed in the cablegrams. There
has been a great deal said recently of
a chemical combination that will blow
up great sections of the earth. Edison
says 1t is possible and intimates that
he knows how 1t could be done.
1t has been common talk in scien-
tific circles that a slight rearrange-
ment of the chemical relations exist
ing would shatter this old earth into
atoms, and now comes the intelli-
gence that a heat can be produced
that will burn 1t to a crisp. There is
no particular interest in all the SCI
ence, except to suggest the possibili-
ties, and likewise to do away with
the speculation that some day the
earth will be transformed into q par
adise for the future life of immortals
and substitute the dream that it
might be the other place, seeing there
will be an abundant supply Of heat.

A MANS BODILY VALUE
Indianapolis Star.1


In an Indiana court recently judg.
ment of 1900 was rendered to an en-
ploye of a foundry company as dam
ages for the loss of part of finger
A jury in the same court gave another
man 1000 for broken back.
At first thought this wide divergence
in estimating the value of mans
members may not have appeared so to
the court and jury. A man with a
broken back has but a brief life ahead
and if he alone had to be considered,
and not his family, it may have seemed
to those dealing with the case that
inasmuch as no compensation could be
offered for the life itself. 81, 900 would
provide him with all the mitigations
possible while he remained alive.
On the other hand, a mutilated
finger might deprive a workman of his
Skill especially If 1t were an index
finger, and be a damage to him
throughout long life That does not
seem likely to be true of a foundry
man, though 1t would do so with, say,
a jeweler or printer or pianist. At
the same time it is likely that few men
or women, whatever their occupation,
would hold up their hands before them
and select a finger that they would
willingly part with for $500.

MILITARY OFFICERS WHO RESIGN
washington Post I

Secretary of War Garrison has acted
sensibly in asking the Attorney Cen
eral to settle, once and for all, the
question whether army officers have an
inalienable right to resign in time of
peace. Two conflicting opinions have
been given on the same subject by the
Judge advocate-general of the army
and the judge Acknowledgement of the
navy, the former holding that a resig-
nation must be accepted and the latter
holding that it may be refused.
While the opinion of the ATTORNEY
General with regard to this mooted
point will not be final, 1t will at least
serve the purpose of establishing a
precedent for future action by the Sec
retary or War. If the Attorney Cen
eral holds that resignation may be
refused and this course is followed by
the Secretary of War, it will not be
long before a test case Is brought in
court and decided with finality.
NO one would argue that American
army ofhcers are paid very good sala-
ries. But the salaries are fixed by
law and are known to eyerv Young
man who decides to enter the army,
There is no deception about it. When
q young man accepts the support of
the government at West Point or An
napolis he owes it to his country to
make an adequate return later on and
NOT yield to the first temptation to sell
the experience which the government
mas given him for higher price than
the government itself is willing to nav.

time to come, make pleasant homes

food for residents of American cities
and add enormously to the total wealth
of the nation.
These irrigation farmers are raising

tically every farm product that can
be grown anywhere. The alfalfa sup

stock furnishes raw material for the

saries OF life. The SIS, 100000 of pro-
ducts on irrigated land in 1918 was
but the beginning of a chain of busi-
ness that furnished profitable en-
ployment for thousands of men and
women.
The trainers Of the reclamation act
anticipated that development must be
slow, and, therefore, they provided for
settlement by homeseekers under a
plan of payment by installments COW
ering ten year period. which period
Congress has since extended to twenty
years. The purpose of the act was to
provide more farm homes and extend
the area of productive lands. While
the act was a departure from ac-
cepted ideas as to the proper scope of
government, experience has proven
the wisdom of government initiative in
an undertaking so large that private
ENTERPRISE could not be expected to in
vest unless given concessions that
might ultimately be found against the
interests of homeseekers.
Although President Wilson has de-
clared that the Republican party has
not had a new idea in thirty years, the
Reclamation Act stands upon the
statute books alongside the pure food
law, the postal savings bank law and
the parcel post law as a mute but per-
manent evidence of the constructive
policies of that party.

This road is joy to all who ride
over 1t and 1t Is a sample of what can
be done in Pennsylvania with proper
methodu and the right sort of con-
struction. The old idea of building
good road and then allowing it to
deteriorate is giving way to careful
maintenance and prompt repair. thus
saving thousands OF dollars through
out the year.
Governor Brumbaugh is determined
that Harrisburg shall be the hub of the
best highways in Pennsylvania. In
this he Is absolutely right, and his de-
termination to place the Capital City
upon the Lincoln Highway will be ap-
plauded by every citizen of the State.
AS the seat of government of a great
Commonwealth all the highways lead
ing to Harrisburg should be in the
best possible condition all the time.
And these highways should be marked
so that every tourist can reach Harris
burg without the slightest difficulty.

1t Is now receding day by day and

Why, then, does the real summer
come after the prime of the astron-

same reason that the real winter
comes after the winter solstice. And
for the same reason that the hottest
part of hot day is we'll after noon,
and the coolest part of a cool night
well after midnight. Even though
the astronomical influence grows less
the earth influence increases for a
