Whom Earthauakes Come.

That animals are sensitive to the
approach of earthquakesas a fact fire.
quently observed, and the more re-
cent seismic troubles In various coun-
tries give numerous examples of this
singular faculty which many animals
possess. For instance, in Japan
horses set UP an unusual agitation
whenever a seismic shock is near at
hand. In Central America dogs and
cats flee from houses, and the inhabi-
,tants have become so accustomed to
this that they follow the example of
the animals and leave their dwellings
so as to escape danger. In Italy 1t has
been observed that birds left their
nests and few up to a great height in
the air, but this without noise, before
the earthquake took place. However,
at the time when the earthquake
shocks were produced the birds ut
tered cries which lasted for all the
duration of the earthquake. It is as
serted that In Sicily cocks crow and
dogs howl just before an earthquake.

WoRKNIEN's COMPENSATION

TMPLOYERS all over the State
T. are still wrestling with the pro-
visions of the Workmens Com
psnsation act. They want to comply
in letter and spirit with the new law
so complex in its character, but the
more they delve into the various sec
tions of the measure the more difficult
is the Interpretation of its various fea-
lures.
There is no disposition anywhere to
ignore the law or to evade its provi-
sions; all that perplexes the employer
is the rather involved nature of the
act, and it is a question whether for
the first year or two the operation of
the law will be entirely satisfactory
TO all concerned.
A reasonable attitude toward the
new act will be necessary for employer
and employe alike. It's humanitarian
character can easily be overturned by
any effort to use it as a club and it
is fortunate for the State that there is
no tendency in any direction to so
regard the law. Employers every
where have shown a laudable purpose
TO interpret the measure according to
it's spirit and not haggle about the
form.
1t is intimated that many important
amendments will be necessary after
a years experimental enforcement
and the Legislature of 1917 Will doubt
less find it necessary to perfect the
measure so as to eliminate many OF
the perplexing features which now an
noy both employer and employe.
The act involves heavy expenditure
upon the part of the employers of tht
State and a readjustment of this ex.
penditure is TO he expected

GETTING TOGETHER

TT is a happy condition Of affairs
when the Taft element and the
Roosevelt element of the Republi-
come to the place when each is pre-
pared to go half way to meet the
other and to extend the right hand
of good fellowship in party reunion.
The most significant development
of the past week in national politics
onel Roosevelt Next in Importance
has been the readiness with which his
proffers have been accepted in con-
servative circles. The result prom
ises to be a reunited and rejuvenated
Republican party that will sweep all
before it next November.
Apparently Colonel Roosevelt has
come to the conclusion that there are
graver issues confronting the country
at this time than some of the ultra
radical planks of the Progressive plat
form upon which he laid such great
stress in 1912. The defeat of Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic
party is looming bigger every day
as the one thing upon which the
Roosevelt and the Taft wings of the
party must unite next year if they
are to perform the part of true
patriotism. No mere partisan or per-
sonal feelings can be allowed to stand
in the way of this accomplishment
and there are strong indications that
the leaders who followed Roosevelt as
we'll as those who supported Taft see
this very plainly and are willing and
anxious to get together on a candidate
and a platform that will at once draw
to the Republican standard the full
support of the 100000 voters who
couscientiously supported Roosevelt
three years ago and the great body
of loyal Republicans who went down
with Taft. In that direction lies VIC
tory. Any other course would run
perilously near the shoals of defeat.

a GAP IN THE CRIMINAL CODE

From the Philadelphia Bulletn.l
If there is no law in Pennsylvania
defining the sale OF a bogus college GER
tihcate, to be used as a warrant for the
Illegal practice of dentistry in the State,
as indicated by Judge Bonniwell. the
defect should be noted by the Dental
Council of the State in order that the
deficiency may be supplied at the next
session of the Legislature.
incompetent practice of dentistry is
hardly second, in its danger to the COM
mon health and welfare, to unskilled
practice of medicine and surgery.
Statute law wisely regulates the prac-
tice of each, requiring evidence OF edu-
cation, training and fitness and holding
human health too valuable to be eX-
plotted by quacks and bogus practition-
ers. Violation of these laws for the
restriction of practice is amply penal
lied, and there should be like penalties
for the fraudulent issuance of fcertificates
which are antecedent to the scheme to
defraud the State and the public, in ac-
tual practice.
The production of such false certifi-
Gates cannot have any honest purpose
deserving consideration, and possession
or disposal of such a fraudulent paper
might well be regarded as presumptive
evidence of criminal intent, and there
fore penaliZed.

BOOST YOUR OWN TOWN

DR. Russell II. CONWELL never
said a truer thing than in his
lecture here the other night
when he pointed out that Harrisburg
was not a city of many thousands more
because of the too-prevalent disposi-
tion to deprecate our own commun-
ity Many a boy and many girl has
overlooked the opportunities at home
because parents and guardians and
friends have everlastingly described
the rainbows elsewhere. Disappoint-
ments without number have resulted
from this disposition to talk down the
home town instead of talking it up
upon every occasion.
Harrisburg is a fine city. a promis-
ing city in every way, and the girls and
boys now living here should get into
their innermost consciousness the fact
that right here are opportunities
which should be taken advantage of
by the coming generation so that there
shall be no occasion for the scattering
of families elsewhere to gather 'dia-
monds" which may be found at their
own doors.
DR.. Conwell impressed upon his
hearers the value of THINKING and
suggested that many a good thing in
the way of opportunity is discovered
through proper concentration of the
mind upon the conditions right here
at home.
The Telegraph has constantly urged
upon the people of Harrisburg the
peculiar advantages of this city and
the suburban district and after years
of boosting we have no apologies to of
fer. Harrisburg has a large place in
the sun and it remains for the old and
young of our population to boost at
every turn and to put into concrete
action the confidence and optimism
and vision which ought to be the pos
session of every citizen without re-
gard to class or age or distinction OF
any sort.

THE WORTHY POOR

VTTE hear much at every season
w about the worthy poor" All
charity is supposed to be di
rected toward the relief of this class
of unfortunates. Just what the term
means we have no means of knowing.
An old friend, Noah Webster, con-
fining himself to single words alone,
gives us no inkling. The organized
charities have their own motion of
what it means and their definition
does not harmonize with the con-
clusions of many who do not be-
lieve in making an exact science or
their benefactions.
Particularly at this season are We
impressed by those who make a busi-
ness of such things with the thought
that we must guard our giving, so as
TO confne it exclusively to the
worthy poor" Now to our minds,
wherever poverty exists there is some
thing worthy" at least of an effort to
relieve, and no matter how evil or
careless the parents, there are
worthy poor" in every needy family
Wnere tlere are CnlluIeil. IlSISNVA
little one is sick, or hungry, or cold,
there is charity worth while, no mat
ter whose be the fault.
So at this yuletide season, with
your own little ones about you, look
around for children in homes where
drink, or crime. or idleness, or sick
ness, or shiftlessness has placed OBJ
stacles in the way of a visit from
Santa Claus; then go quickly and
make a Christmas celebration for
them, and don't let anybody persuade
YOU that the family is mot worthy"
All children are worthy. The master
made no distinction of station or
parentage or condition when he said:
Suffer the little children to come unto
me. for of such is the Kingdom of
! Heaven" Remember also that if you
do it unto the least of them, you do it
also unto Him, the Founder of
| Christmas.

THE CTrY's FRONT STEPS

PROPERTY owners of that sec
ton OF Harrisburg between
Maclay and Division streets are
discussing the question of extending
the Front Steps of Harrisburg along
the river front in that section. They
take the position that what is good
for one part of the city is good for
another and that inasmuch as the
river front is enjoyed by all the peo-
pie, the completion of the improve
ment will be approved by everybody.
1t is the opinion of all who are FAM
iliar with the conditions that at least
the section between Maclay and Sene-
ca streets should be improved during
the coming year.
Any why not?

SAIL ON!

Henry Ford really did get off, and
has not been turned back yet at this
writing.
1t is a happiness to think of that
wonderful yachting party bounding
over the deep at the costs of the ad-
venturous Detroit Fortunatus!
Andrew Carnegie never thought of
anything as sporty as that.
What one hates to think is that
such a party must arrive and break
up! Why should it arrive? Why
disband? The Flying Dutchman
never arrived: its company never dis
banded. There is a precedent for
Henry. Let him buy the Oscar II
and keep sailing that cargo of paci-
ficers around, putting individuals
ashore only in response to calls by
wireless. Thus when the Allies cap
ture Berlin, il they want Ben Lindsay
to be governor, put Ben ashore, but
not until then. Sam Mcclure always
needs a rest. He is years behind in
repose. This is his chance to get 1t!

Advertising and Price

Who pays the price of adver-
tising is a much discussed ques-
tion.
Listen to what Jules b.
Schioss has to say in Newspaper
dom.
Good advertising creates a
massive expense which is over
balanced by the decreased cost
of production or selling - and
IL reduced the price of the COM
modify to the consumer. 1t low
ers the cost of living.
Poor advertising. remains an
active expense, which must be
added to the price of the COM
modify because 1t does not pro-
portionately increase the sales
poor advertising increases, in
stead OF decreases. the cost of
production and selling! Conse-
duently,it raises the cost of living.
When advertising Is run in media
TO which it is not suited, IL Is de-
cidedly poor advertising, and IL
will not bring the necessary re-
suits
And because they produce re-
suits at low cost the newspapers
are to-day the most favored of
all advertising mediums.

THE STATE FROM DAY ToDKY

AS an aid to digestion, we offer this
interesting bit of news. There are
22,975 newspapers in the United
States, and about $4,000 in the world.
OF the latter, one-half are printed in
English.
DR.. Conwell's lecture, Acres of
Diamonds" seems to have inspired
some Pittsburgh second-story men,
if perchance they were privileged to
hear the lecture, with the wrong kind
of ambition. At any rate, an apart
ment house out there was raided the
other day and $4,000 worth of jew
elry and silVerware found, among the
booty being more than a pint of dia-
monds.
Ralph Rotolo, a New Castle charac-
ter, is up again to answer charges
before the police of that town. Sew
eral months ago this man escaped
from Jail by sliding down a hose
which he attached to the bars of the
prison, a la movie. also la fireman,
and he gave very convincing excuse,
to wit: "I was afraid | hadn't done
nothing so 1 got out.
Two masked men, armed, made a
mysterious visit to the Lancaster
county prison night before last When
confronted by the guard they flashed
light in his face, and one remarked:
HE is not the man" after which
they silently and swiftly slid into the
shadows The belief is that they
were going to attempt the life of the
other guard, who was fortunately alb
sent at the time. No clue to their
identity has been found.

II it be true that the Berlin Govern
ment regards the German plotters in
this country as enemies of the Father
land, 1t would appear that a drastic
disavowal of all their activities would
be in order, instead of requests for their
safe conduct back to Germany. Nothing
has done so much to dissipate the
friendly sentiment toward Germany as
the outrageous conduct of the men re-
sponsible for the dynamite and incen-
diary out-ages in the United States.
