Relief Is Almost in Sight

DREsENT indications point to breathing
i spell for business. Congress is taking up
the appropriation bills and planning to con-
tinue the old appropriations for such depart
ments as cannot be provided for before March
I, and the President himself is making ar
rangements to take needed rest by crossing
the continent 10 see the Panama Pacific Fair

This Is a wiser course, both for him and for
Congress, than to do any more legislating.
The country has started on the upward road
TO prosperity after long period OF business

ress will be more rapid, and the Administra-
ton Will get whatever benefit is to be derived

Lifc Is too short for hating.
Beware of the wilcs of the Liquor Interests

OPPONENTS of local option are doing
" their best TO divide the forces in favor
of IL in order to defeat the reform. They
are raising the issue of town or borough
option against county option, as though that
were of any consequence at the present time
in comparison with the principle itself.
1t will be easy enough in the future to
amend county option law in whatever way
experience shows to be wise, provided we
have the law to amend. The thing to do now
is to pass an act giving to the people of the
counties the right to decide whether liquor
is to be sold or not. More local optionlsts
favor this plan than any other, and 1t is
a plan which is more pleasing to the State
wide prohibitionists than one which provides
for option in smaller unit
There never will be universal agreement
on the most suitable unit, and If the General
Assembly waits until the friends of local
option all say that the borough, or the
township, or the city, or the county ought
to be the political division to exercise the
option for itself it will wait forever. But a
canvass of the two houses of the General
Assembly at the present time indicates that
IL all the friends of the principle of local
option bring pressure to bear, an act can be
passed this winter which will relieve the
Common Pleas Judges of the unsuitable
function Of deciding whether liquor shall be
sold in a community or not, and will put the
whole question up to the counties. The liquor
forces are cunning, and they will prevent
this union of the temperance people IL pos
sible. But every advocate of temperance
should refuse to play into the hands of the
enemy

The Governor Cuts Out the Graft

NNHE Governor has made a good beginning
i by cutting $9s,SOO from the general def
cheney bill of S575,127. More than half of this
sum was taken from the appropriations for
extra officers in the Senate and the House of
Representatives; and the greater part of the
balance was from the allowance for con-
tingent expenses of various departments. He
even reduced the appropriation for the Exec
utive Mansion by $1,000
This is the kind of economy to practice
with the public funds. II Doctor Brum-
baugh keeps it up and holds the General
Assembly down to prudent outstanding of
the financial resources OF the Commonwealth,
I'm big matters as we'll as in small ones, he
viii have all the money needed for highway
Improvement as well as for the ordinary pur-
poses OF government.
But the Governor has not stopped with
cutting down the appropriations. He has
vetoed bill providing for additional en-
pioyes in the General Assembly. The present
number is large enough for all reasonable
needs Of the service OF course, the politi-
clans are not satisfied. They are anxious to
ind places for their followers on the theory
that government exists for the beneit OF the
oficeholders. If we are to have in Harrisburg

the people we may be able to get accustomed

No Profit in a "Hide.it" Policy

NEW ORLEANS was for years victim Of
IN the "hide-it" disease Hush It up" was
the slogan II a case of yellow fever appeared,
or anything else which merchants imagined
would hurt their business.
In 1905 the yellow plague settled on the
Italian district Not a word about It any
where Traffic continued usual Visitors
came and went. Business moved along. SO
did the yellow fever. At last It could not be
hidden The news was whispered in the
clubs, then on the streets. and finally the
newspapers were compelled to publish the
facts Then came the great epidemic, great
not oil account of the number of deaths, but
because it removed forever the bogey Of the
Gulf Coast That was the summer that
science fought the mosquito, the deadly
stegomyla, and drove 1t out of town. 1t was
a magnificent victory.
But did the territory about New Orleans
believe it when the announcement was made
that the epidemic was over? Not bit of 1t.
"They lied before and they are lying YETI"
was the verdict. The hinterland was afraid
Concealment had done New Orleans more
harm than the fever itself. 1t required
months to re-estabish confidence The
"hIdc-it' policy had a calamitous after
math. Would New Orleans hide yellow
fever now? Not bit of 1t. More likely the
discovery of case would be put on the first
pages of the newspapers as warning to
citizens and a pledge to the rest of the world
that the city was square and aboveboard.
New Orleans has learned by bitter expert
ence that publicity does not kill, but cures.
There is unemployment In Philadelphia.
The way out Is to recognize the fact and
remedy the conditions. The city that takes
care of its own need never be afraid that
worltmen or business will avoid it.

ONE VIEW OF CHILD LABOR

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger;
Sir-There seems to be a great agitation al
tho present day In regard to child labor. Never
theless, this law is causing great hardship upon
persons with large families making It often
necessary for boys to start at an early age to
help to support their mothers and other little
children. otherwise dependent upon the uncer-
tainty OF charity.
To start work in early life will harm no one.
My father. who is IS years old, started into
work at the age of 12 years. He was so little
he had TO stand on boxes, and there thou
sands OF people today well up I'm years who
can say the same, especially when It takes some
years TO learn and he master of trade.
Yet Governor Brumbaugh, in his inaugural
address. advocates that persons not be allowed
to work under l6 years, but go to school. Edu-
cation In our present day for many positions is
almost secondary. We have known graduates
from high school and college finally wind up
as a motorman or conductor on trolley
or chauffeur. /" There are other things.
such as smoking cigarettes and other vices,
that are undermining the health and growth
OF our children and not work.

Shall Pie Crust Be sewed or Nailed?

NONNECTICUT which acquired an early
~ and perhaps premature and unwarranted
fame through the wooden nutmeg, has once
more been thrust upon the centre OF the
stage through the wonders of her home
made condiments. 1t is pie this time, and, of
course, every one knows that pies are condi-
ments. Charles e. Boylan, a pie lover of
Tennessee, bought triangle of cherry pastry
in James Carson Jones' restaurant in Mem
phis, and at the first bite broke a tooth on
one of the nails in the crust. He was natur-
ally surprised. Indeed astonishment and
wonder almost made him insensible to his
dentihcial loss. But he recovered, and is now
seeking consolatory damages from the New
England company which produced the nailed
pies.
The ordinary cook books, through some
neglect to cover all contingencies, do not yet
recommend that the crusts of pies shall be
held together with nails. A moments refec-
tion, however, is enough to convince one
that nothing more effective than nails could
be found for the pies with leather crusts
such as brides make. A sewed or a pegged
crust has its merits but the "waxed end"
used in shoe soles would give an unpleasant
flavor to the pastry, and pegs are difficult
to obtain in these days of machne-made
shoes, that only the rich could afford to in
dulge in luxury of pegged pies. The Con-
necticut company has really hit upon the
best system. Wire nails, properly clinched
on the under side, will hold the sole to the
upper 30 tightly that New England pies may
be sent with perfect safety not only to Mem
phIs, but even as far as Vicltsburg

IniectlOn Of Morality into the EIeetorats

POLITICIANS do not really believe that

our modern screw propeller. Later he built
a. number of engines for pumping out aban-
doned silver mines in Peru, but the enter
prise failed and he was left ragged and pen
niless in South America.
In spite of all these brilliant beginnings
Trevithick's life is record of missed possi-
bilities, the story of failure through lack of
patient persistence. One of his biographers
speaks of this feature as "a trait of char
acter that in the end ruined his life and de-
prived him Of the honors and rewards that
might have been his desert" He died in 1888
so deeply in debt that he was buried by sub
scriptlon raised among the men who had
worked for him, and not even simple slab
marks the resting place of the vacillating
man of ability. Nearly every one of his
projects was subsequently carried out sue
cessfully by some one else.
The Rise of Alfred Krupp
Set over against that story is the success
of Alfred Krupp. Dwight Goddard says
that extraordinary application and logged
perseverance explain the success of Alfred
Krupp. Many a life of promise has come to
nothing from scattering its forces. Alfred
Krupp surpassed expectations by concentra-
tion and perseverance" When Alfred was
II years old his father died, leaving as an
inheritance a forge, laborer's cottage and
the secret of making steel. The boy went to
work Immediately, impelled by a vow to
succeed where his father had failed. For %
years he worked unremittingly by daylight
at the anvil and forge, by lamplight at his
accounts and books. For years he could
hardly pay the wages of his men, let alone
any profit for himself. After 25 years the
clouds of care began to lift, and henceforth
success came in almost geometric progression
the marvel of the world"
In 1926 when Krupp began his work he had
two helpers but no tools. These he had to
mako himself. In 1882 he had ten work.
men; in 1S45, 1872; in 1876, so years after his
dlscouraging start the Krupp works at
Essen employed $4,000 men. How many there
are today no one knows. but to the Krupps
must be attributed most of the marvellous
equipment of the present German army; in
fact, it has been freely said that the armed
power OF Germany could not have been but
for the dogged perseverance and courage OF
AlfrIed Krupp.
