RACK UP THE GOVERNOR

livery local option supporter IN
- Harrisburg and vicinity should
- back up Governor Brumbaugh|
in his call for a big turnout at
the local option rallies next Tuesday.
If 500 Methodist voters responded
n the invitation to attend temper
.ance mass meeting two weeks ago, the
combined church people OF Harrisburg
ought to send TO the Brumbaugh gath
erines ten times that number. The
great Chestnut street hall ought to
be hlled to overfiowing. There ought TO
be no question that Harrisburg local
optionists are enthusiastically behind
the Governor who is championing their
cause in one OF the most vigorous con-
tests that has ever been waged in
Pennsylvania.
This is not wet and dry issue
the question IS. Shall the people
OF the various counties have the right
TO say what they want or do not want,
or shall they be compelled to accept
what q very small fraction OF the
population say they must accept. 1t
If the opponents of local option are
so certain that the people of the State
are overwhelmingly in favor of the
sale of liquor, as they repeatedly have
asserted, why are they so anxious to
prevent vote on the subject? And If
they fear that they are in many local
tiles in the minority, is not that all the
more reason why admitted majorities
should have the right to exercise
their wishes?
There is the argument, also, that
local option does not prohibit the sale
of liquor, That, we submit, is all a
matter of local government, If the
district attorney of a county that has
voted dry so chooses he can easily
see to it that there are no more viola
tioas of the liquor laws than there
are of the other statutes governing the
conduct of the community. And il the
prosecuting officer lacks the nerve or
the inclination his backbone can be
stiffeHed and his energies snliveaed by
newspaper prodding of the right
kind.
At all events. it is = matter foF the
people to decide: No member of the
Legislature has any excuse for voting
against the local option bill on the
ground that his constituents are not in
favor of liquor regulation of the kind.
II his constituents want the sale OF
drink continued in their communities
after the bill becomes a Law they have
only to vote that way and no local
option law ever devised will stand in
their way. The legislator who wants
to be perfectly fair with the distric;
he has been chosen to represent will
vote TO give that district the good
American right TO decide for ltseil

NEARING WHITE

'TIHE newspapers of to-day renew
the fears of last Fall that, on
= account OF a lack of dyestuffs
due to the war. we may have to
wear white clothing next summer
whether we like it or not.
Just why this should occasion the
alarm that appears to have been
aroused is not apparent. Certainly
nobody will be harmed by the wear
ing of white in summer time. Indeed,
it is to be wondered why the practice
has not been adopted in this country
long ago.
Ours is tropical climate in sum-
mer, Yet we persist in wearing cloth
ing-referring to the male portion
of the population. of course-that
would indicate a lingering suspi-
cion that We might encounter
snowstorm almost any time. The ne
cessity of war that bars dyes from the
country may be a blessing in disguise.
1t may teach us the wisdom of dress
ing in the warm period as the climate
demands.

One of the striking amusement de-
vices at the Panama-Paciflc Exposi-
tion is the horoscope" an enormous
Inverted pendulum built much like a
bascule bridge and having suspended
at its free end q car in which passen-
gers are lifted to a height of ESQ feet
above the exposition grounds One of
the most novel features OF this device
is that the arm is lifted to a vertical
position by two aerial propellers
placed 81 feet from the swinging end
and operated by electric motors, After
lifting to a point where IL will clear
the neighboring structures. the arm
swings horizontally around the sup
porting tower al IL lifts, SO that the
sensation Is much like that of ascend
ing an enormous spiral stairway that
has a constantly narrowing diameter
as the top is approached, The car is
capable of carrying 11S passengers
and two attendants, and is so con-
nectsd with the arm that it Is impos-
sible for it to take any but an upright
position A picture of the horoscope
appears in the April Popular Mechan-
les Magazine,

AcoNsIsrENr PROGRAM

- ARK COMMISSIONER TAYLOR
- can wait with patience the ap-
1 provaI of the public. His un-
fair political critics have eSag-
gerated every trifling objection in his
administration of the park system
while refusing credit for those things
worthy of commendation. With the
completion of the undertakings of the
past year during the present summer
Commissioner Taylor will be able to
point with satisfaction to many sub
stantiaI achievements in his depart
ment.
Much has been accomplished. but
no feature OF his activities will invoke
more of praise for work well done than
the Improvement OF the river front.
When he shall have finished the grad
ing and planting between Calder and
Maclay streets with a promenade along
the top Of the slope and paths leading
to the granolithic walk below, the
Commissioner OF Parks will convince
even his critics that he has pursued
e consistent program.

MARKET STREET ..LANpING"

w YHEN John Harris provided Tor
N/ a perpetual landing on the
w Susquehanna river at Market
street he never contemplated
such changes as have come with the
development of the city he founded.
But since he appears to have made
lit necessary to maintain some sort or
landing, the actual need of which has
practically disappeared. the Commis-
sioner of Public Works is to be strong
ly commended for taking immediate
steps to eliminate the unfortunate blot
upon a great city Improvement, re-
sulting from the interruption in the
line of concrete steps supporting the
river embankment.
In the consideration of proposed
plan for closing the gap in the steps,
full weight should be given the I'M
portance of maintaining the harmon
ious treatment that has made the river
front of Harrisburg one of the attrac-
tions of the State.
Pending final approval of the tenta-
tive plan for blotting out the eyesore
between the Market and Walnut street
bridges, the Telegraph respectfully
suggests that the proposed dock should
be placed beneath the Market street
bridge, thus conceallng in some meas
use the break in the steps, which could
then be extended southwark to the
line of the bridge. This change would
involve little expense and the steps
would be continuous between the
bridges in the very heart of the city.

This fund would be used to provide

Tho thought is a good one and the
project deserving of the generous sup
port of Philadelphia people, The po-
lice officer who lays down his life for
the preservation of the peace of the

much deserving of pension as the

forth to war at his country's call, In
deed, it is doubtful IL the policeman
facing death alone at the hands of a
desperate careless of everything but
his own freedom, and easily able to
shirk his duty if he chose without
much fear of criticism, does not dis
play a higher type of courage than
he who at the command of superior

No better way of promoting eff
