Bills Having the Backing of the Re-

duced in the Senate-One of Them
Designed to Prevent Fusion

The Senate, after receiving a num-
Der of important bills bearing on elec-
tion laws, last night adjourned to meet
on Monday evening next at $50
O'Clock. The proposed new election
laws and election law repealers, if they
become operative, will work great
change in the system in Pennsylvania.
They were all prepared by the attorney
for the Republican state organization,
and are intended to work for the bene-
hit of that organization.
Among the chief changes proposed is
one which in the future will, if ap-
proved prevent any candidate nominat-
ed for Office withdrawing from a party
ticket. This bill, which was introduced
by Senator Patton, is intended to pre-
vent a repetition of action like that
of William Draper Lewis last fall in
resigning from ticket, after he had
been named at primary.

Here is an idea that might be work

likely that industrial conditions will
improve with the coming of the warm

of employment will be put back to
work, nevertheless, there will be
many who will need aid. There are
many vacant lots in Harrisburg that
ought 80 be cultivated. both for the
appearance of the city and for the

OUR FOREIGN TRADE BALANCE

HR. EDWARD PRATT, chief of
the Federal Bureau of Foreign
- and Domestic Commerce, who
was one of the speakers at a
recent foreign trade extension confer
ence held in this city under the auspices
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, told the Illinois Bankers Asso-
citation the other night that for the
first time in history the United States
is experiencing the sensation of real
trade balance in its favor
This is all very good and we are
happy that conditions are so favor
able. but Mr.. Pratt knows that present
exports are abnormal because of the
demands for food stuffs abroad. Be
fore the war our favorable balances
during the years that the country en-
joyed a protective tariff had been
turned into an actual adverse balance
as the result of the operations of the
Underwood tariff law. The whole
thought of Mr.. Pratt's address seemed
TO be that the Underwood tariff has not
only been not harmful, but beneficial
to the country, although he did not
express that idea in so many words.
Since 1890, with the exception of
one year, 1898, the United States has
had a favorable balance of trade every
year. in the aggregate more than nine
billion dollars. During ten of these
years the value of our exports over
imports was annually more than five
hundred million dollars.
Mr.. Pratt juggles his figures so as
to obscure these facts, but they exist
nevertheless, and it remains to be
seen whether or not the tariff will
again react in favor of Europe il it
is ermitted TO stand as at present
without revision after the cessation of
hostilities.

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY at
BRIEF AND BUsINEssLIKE

q it clears its decks for action
"A this week the Legislature might
4 \ do well to give some considera-
tion to the recommendations of
Governor Brumbaugh and Lieutenant
Governor McClain calling for brief.
businesslike session.
In his inaugural address Governor
Brumbaugh said that the State has
been "over-lawed, that we have gone
TOO far upon the theory that lesisla-
1ion is n cure for our social. economic
and political ills The Lieutenant
Governor, in turn, emphasized this
point when he said that the Legisla-
1ure really has not many problems to
work out this session and that its duty
lies not in volume, but in the quality
of work to be performed. We have
not much to do" said he, but what
we do we should do we'll"
Every thinking man will agree with
the two executives in these conclu-
sions. and the Legislature will do well
TO set them up as guide posts for the
session. We have had surfeit OF
unnecessary. theoretic and half-baked
laws and the obligation of the Legisla-
ture is to avoid the temptation of en-
acting statutes TO govern every alleged
reform that eNperimentalists propose.
As has been indicated in the inaugural
day addresses, the Republican party
will be held responsible for the actual
results of the present session. The
people desire nothing but common
sense procedure. The day of hysteria
in legislation is fast passing. The vot-
ers no longer expect the Legislature to
substitute sensationalism for the con-
servatism and care that have marked
the enactment of every good and
broad piece of legislation that has ever
been written upon the statute books
of the State. They now look to the
Lawmakers, as Governor Brumbaugh
and Lieutenant Governor McClain sug-
gest, to confine their attention to mat
ters of vital import and to refuse to
be party to any attempt that may be
made to turn the Legislature into a
legal experiment station.
We in Harrisburg delight to enter
tain the members of the House and
Senate who are our guests during every
legislative session, but for the good
of the people and the welfare Of the
Republican party, it is to be hoped
that their stay at the Capitol in the
present year will be brief and as busi-
nesslike as it is brief.

TABLE sYRUP IRON CIDER

"HE United States Department OF
Agriculture makes an impor-
4 tant announcement to the
farmers of Pennsylvania-the
development Of a process for turning
apple cider into first-class table syrup.
This ought TO be good news to the
thousands of Pennsylvania orchard
owners who permit hundreds of thou
sands of bushels of apples to go 10
waste under their trees every Fall for
lack of a market. There is a con-
stant demand for first-class fruit, but
the farmer who is not close to a large
city finds some difficulty in disposing,
at a profit, of his second grade apples.
Turning these "windfalls" into table
syrup ought to open up a field of
profitable endeavor.
Every farmer who owns a sugar
maple tree taps it each Spring time
for it's sap and boils that sap down into
maple syrup and loaf sugar. 1t would
seem no more than reasonable then
that he should do the same with his
surplus apples in the Fall.
Inc pEOctSS IL Sdlu " DC SlHlpie.
First the apples are turned into cider,
which in turn is treated with a pure
hme composition to neutralize the
malic acids. The subsequent opera
ton resembles greatly the manufac-
ture of maple syrup in that the liquid
is boiled, filtered and evaporated
Then by another altering process the
crystals of calcium malate are re-
moved and the result is syrup of a
clear ruby or amber color which when
sealed in cans will keep indefinitely.
Only seven gallons of cider are re-
quired to make gallon of apple syrup
and the product sells at higher price
than ordinary table syrup.
The efforts of the department hav-
ing been thus successfully directed to-
wards the use of the apple crop that
would ordinarily go to waste, thief
