Sat the May meeting of the associa-
ton $4,000 was authorized for summer
advertising. The booklets were got
ten out, printing secured during the
absence of the manager on a six week
trip in various parts of the country,
and obtaining therefrom the largest
business that was ever known, the
payments from the various counties
ceased to come in, and the financial
condition of the country became de-
pressed. This was followed by the
declaration Of war, since which time
the financial condition of the associa-
ton has not been such as to justify
proceeding with the work as it should
have been.
Various circumstances have oper-
ated to prevent meetings of the asso-
citation. and it has gone along endeav-
.oring to keep within it's means and 1
am proud to state that every bill is
paid; the association has no obliga-
tiuns, and we can go forward, or dis
continue with a clean sheet. or If de-
sired, go forward looking hopefully to

THE STRANGERS VIEWPOINT

FAMILIARITY it is said, breeds
contempt, and if not contempt
certainly indifference. There are
Harrisburgers, for instance, who have
never been inside the Capitol and
who do not know that we have one
of the finest museums in the State
There are others who are just as
ignorant of our municipal enterprises.
But from the viewpoint of the strang-
er within the gates Harrisburg has
many remarkable things to show.
Scarcely an architect, designer or en-
gineer of note who visits this city
who does not inspect one or more of
our municipal Improvements to get
ideas on the manner in which this
city has worked out its problems.
This week Howard B. White, engineer
for Graham, Burnham & Co., here on
business for the Keystone State Fair
Co, made a trip to the Wildwood
dam and spillway which he pro-
nounced one of the cleverest flood
prevention developments he had ever
seen. Our filter plant, sanitary dam
and River Front wall are also uni
que features. One of the most COM
mendable things about our whole pub
lie improvement scheme is that we
originated rather than copied.

once for department why should it
not be made strictly utilitarian?
AT which suggestion the architec-
tural school, which holds that govern
ment buildings should be monuments
as we'll, fly into a frenzy and, in most
cases, have been supported by those TO
whom the government has looked for
guidance.
The Land Office with its myriad of
1led records, will have a wing. The
Geological Survey will occpy much
space and there are specially built
laboratories, Photographic dark rooms,
press rooms for the production of its
maps. The Bureau of Mines will be
provided with other laboratories built
especially to fit its purposes. There it
viii test the samples of all the coal
that the government buys, experiment
infinitely in mine damps and the gases
that cause explosion underground
develop new uses for the products of
American minerals. There will be
housed the Indian Office and the Rec
lamation Service.
The building will cost $500, 900. To
convert it into a classic structure, an
art monument, would require a mil
lion or million and half more. It
would then be a less fit office building
All of which raises very nice ques-
ton.
OF late years the government has
had under construction three or -FOUR
hundred buildings all the time. 1t has
been finishing these up at the rate of
loo a year. Most of these buildings
are post offices. If the government
completed buildings at the rate of $50
year 1T would not take many de-
cades for 1t to accumulate a goodly
number of them. But as a matter of
fact, 1t owns less than a thousand sep
arate buildings aside from such
groups as occur at army posts and In
dian agencies.
Buildings Are Increasing
These nonmilitary buildings have
increased rapidly in number in the
last two decades. In 1853 there were
but twenty-three such government
owned buildings. In 1885 there were
1877, in 1901, 1858. In earlier days the
government rented most such struc-
lures. Pot Offices were formerly rent
ed in most of the smaller towns.
Steadily they have been built all over
the country.
The architects office of the Treasury
Department has charge of the erec-
tion of all such buildings. Twenty
years ago there was chaos in such
structures. There was nothing distinc-
tive about them. Post offices in one
part of the country looked nothing
like the same class of buildings in
another section.
Then came a sort of renaissance in
government architecture. The Treas
ury Department came to hold that
government buildings, wherever con-
structed, should be of a correct and
distinctive type. In selecting the de-
sired types the architects went back
to the old masters, to the classic
structures that were developed when
the art of building was at it's height.
The best structures of Greece and
Rome, the models that are still held
to by all men who go forth to build
magnificently, furnished the ideas that
were to be used for post offices located
! in little towns scattered all about the
map. Uncle Sam held that thus might
he give all his people an object lesson
in art and thus might he cause them
to more wholesomely respect the gov
ernment.

"oUR HANDSOME SUBURB"

The Hershey Press. a bustling, pro-
gressive contemporary, makes the fol-
lowing complimentary reference to
Harrisburg and its accomplishments:
We are delighted that Harrisburg
is preparing to celebrate herself in a
manner worthy of her new beauty and
her new clothes, not only her finely
adorned municipal body, but her splen-
did and attractive outskirts. AS Her
shey's largest suburb Harrisburg has
an appeal to the model town and we
advise all our peope to go to the cele-
bration next week. There will be
three days of it and it will be worth
seeing.
Great credit is due to the people
of Harrisburg for the regeneration and
beautitication of their lovely city. They
have been most fortunate in having
enlightened newspapers. Some places
are content to make a little improve
ment and then stop. Harrisburg
thanks largely to a progressive press
has moved steadily and zealously
toward a constantly widening vision.
II has acquired that most valuable of
all municipal assets, civic spirit,
and the workings of this spirit are
really superb. Do not miss the cele-
bration next week. You will find then
what the spirit is.
Or you may see the spirit any day
YOU visit Harrisburg. Truly there is
nothing finer in the world than its
noble river front. The landscape treat
ment of it is the best example of its
kind in America. Have you ever taken
the drive up the road all the way to
Dauphin? If not, you have some
thing to live for. But in every part of
the city Harrisburg shows it's new life.
1t seems to us big as 1t is it will
double itself within the next two dec
AIDES. All this glorious section of
Pennsylvania is destined to a won
derful population growth, and always
our beautiful State capital will pros
per with it.
Towns in Harrisburg's reach should
cultivate the Harrisburg spirit and be-
gin TO launch community campaigns.
The trouble with all of them is that
they are afraid to spend money. Let
them go to Harrisburg and see what
has come from few loans. The re-
suits are worth ten times the cost"

THE FOREIGN LOAN

THAT foreign loan of a billion for
war purposes-or whatever the
amount finally decided upon
may help to restore conditions to nor
NAL in the American money market.
With the Fall season here when the
domestic market is usually much con-
cerned over the requirements for NOV
ing crops and when the United States
is ordinarily looking to England to
help us tide over the period. the sit
uation is Just the reverse of that. In
stead of a scarcity of gold we find the
New York banks with an accumu-
lated surplus of reserves amounting
to nearly 100000. 900, the largest sum
of the kind in history, and while loans
are at a maximum loaning rates are
still not high. In London the re-
serves are at low ebb and discounts
have averaged higher than in many
years. The need of the moment is an
interchange of credits that would re-
lieve the situation both here and in
Europe. Perhaps the proposed loan.
although the money is to be expended
here, will have a tendency in that
direction. At least it will absorb the
cumbersome and ever-growing surplus
fund. which will be helpful if it does
not tend to restrict domestic loans by
running up the rates of interest
unduly.

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. II.

AS OTHERS SEE Us

THROUGHOUT the whole State
there is an attitude of friendli-
ness on the part of the news
papers toward Harrisburg and its
public spirited expansion of the last
fourteen years. Time was when it
was very common joke-almost as
common as the mother-in-law bit of
wit-to refer in disparaging terms to
this city. All of this has changed and
Instead of adverse comment the press
of the State now speaks in flattering
terms of the city and its splendid en-
terprise and development.
This friendly comment has been en-
phasized recently in view of the ap-
preaching municipal celebration and
the many pleasant things that are be-
ing said of Harrisburg at this time
serve to heal the old wounds and to
place the city en- rapport with the
whole Commonwealth.
1t was inevitable that the State
thould observe with interest and pleas
ure the growth of this city, its i'm
provement along esthetic lines and Its
substantial betterment in every direc-
ton. AS the capital of the State 1t
was proper that Harrisburg should
take its place at the head of the pro-
cession of cities of its size and import
ence. We have our political Difficult
ties and our municipal dissagreements
and our individual notions of men and
things, but upon the whole the people
are working together for one pur-
pose-the making of a still better and
more attractive city.

The State From Day to Day

Something new in the way of en-
tertainment will be given to-day at
the eleventh annual exhibition of the
Cory Fair. A wedding will take
place in front of the grandstand, and
although the name of the participants
therein are not to be divulged until
the time of the ceremony, the promo
ors promise very agreeable surprise
to all who care to witness the event.
This is the first time we have ever
heard of making a wedding furnish
entertainment for hot afternoon.
By the will of Elizabeth Laury, of
Egypt, the deceased directs that the
sum of 81 be given to the heirs of her
oldest daughter, and the same sum to
Sarah Knerr, a widow, and her heirs.
We note with pleasure that there was
no string attached to the heritage and
the heirs will have no trouble getting
possession of this sum, as there are
no disputants.

A song of hate in our song to-day,
of war and the price we pay
Forty thousand lives and more
Is the daily price and the deadly score.
Forty thousand lives a day
Is the price of war that the world

Hatred and horror when hearts are
wrung,
Hatred that clings and climbs among
Rich and poor through the world to-
day,
Hatred of war we hear all say.
Hatred of slaughter, when hearts are
wrung,
Hatred of misery on each tongue.

Nothing in all the future work of

CUT-oUT AND sEARCHLIGHT

IF the paving of certain locality
which most of us are desrous of
avoiding as a future place of abode
consists of good intentions. as we
are told. the contractors must have
been busy with many extensions down
there in the past few weeks. Only a
short time ago the Telegraph pub
lished an editorial calling upon auto
mobilists to avoid the use of the
cut-out in the city and to use their
large headlights only on country roads.
Letters of commentator followed, the
police were quietly instructed to do
their part and many motorists volun-
teered to this newspaper their inten-
ton of complying with the very rea-
eonable request But the cut-out con-
tlnues to 'pop-pop," especially at
