nounced to resume operations early
in the month, and the Elliott Fisher
Typewriter Company reports condi-
tions much better than they were a
month ago and steadily improving.
This betterment of business is re-
flected in the Harrisburg savings as
sociations, all of which report in
crease of membership for the coming
year, and this is sure barometer of
trade. for the savings associations ap-
peal largely to men of small salaries
who are not able to lay anything
aside during periods when they are
out of employment. Altogether pros
poets are very bright for Harrisburg
in 1916.
So far as the national situation is
concerned, such men as Charles M.
Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, and others who
have information of a national scope,
believe that the war in Eurpe, the
advance in rates granted to the rail-
roads and their consequent prospec-
tive purchase of supplies will set
wheels to turning and chimneys to
smoking that have not shown signs
of industry for many months. AS in
dicating the extent of our trade with
Europe on a war basis, 1t is an
nounced that the belligerent nations
have placed contracts in the United
States for more than three million
dollars worth of supplies since the
beginning of hostilities. According to
Mr.. Schwab's belief, the next big
problem that the United States will
have to face is not how to get the
mills into operation, but the develop
ment of transportation facilities suffl-
cient to handle promptly the tremen-
dous increase in manufacturing and
commercial enterprises he foresees.
There enters also into the situation
the physiological element concerning
which we have recently heard so
much. The Administration at WASH
ington, rather unwillingly, it is true,
has shown very evident signs of being
ready to let business alone, and the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
its recent decision has given some
indication that it is beginning to see
a new light and that it is not a wise
policy to destroy the railroads. There
is much hope in that reversal of pol
icy. 1t indicates that the members
of the commission are not absolutely
tied up by precedent and that they
are willing to reverse themselves to
save the railroads and the country
from ruin. This, as much as anything
else. has heartened the railroad man.
ayers and the businessmen of the
country to something like their old
confidence and activity, and it is going
to have a tremendous effect in bring
ing about prosperous conditions dur
ing 1915. There are still some clouds
on the horizon, but they are few, and
the sun is beginning to shine as il
has not shone in two years. The
storm has passed. Only a few rain
drops from scattering clouds continue
to fall. We must give them no more
consideration than we would a shower
that precedes the passing of q sum
mer squall.

NEW YEAR PROSPECTS

~ ECRETARY REDFIELD, of tho
National Commerce Depart
~ ment, sends New Year greet
ings to the businessmen of the
country, bidding them reach out for
the prosperity which he says he sees
within their grasp. Mr.. Redheld has
been so visionary in the past that one
hesitates to accept his opinion con-
cerning trade conditions without
reservation. But at this time there
does seem to be more ground for the
hope that 1915 will witness a return
of good times than has been apparent
during the past month or two.
Looking at the subject from a local
standpoint, Harrisburg has every rea-
son to expect that business will i'm
prove rapidly with the opening of the
new year. In the first place many
large improvement plans, both public
and private, are sure to be in full
swing by the time warm weather
commences. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has expressed it's con-
fidence in a return of prosperity by
announcing-tha the building of its
new freight station and transfer yards
in the lower end of the city will be
pushed with vigor. Incidental to these
are the subways and grading pro-
Jects. Even cold weather has not
been able to halt this work entirely,
nor has the ice on the river kept the
Cumberland Valley Railroad Com
pany from continuing the task of re-
constructing the great bridge across
the Susquehanna at Mulberry street.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company is
proceeding as rapidly as a severe
winter will permit with it's million
dollar enlargement at Steelton, and
men are being Pit back to work SO
rapidly at the Steel Works that the
traction company has been compelled
to increase the number of it's special
cars between this city and the plant.

WHERE THE FARMER is HIT

The Pennsylvania Farmer in an
editorial on the report of the Econ
omy and Efficiency Commission. saws:
Another suggestion is that the De-
partment of Agriculture should dis
pense with the farm advisors, and
that an experimental farm be estab-
llShed in each of the four corners of
the State under the direction of State
college. Their reason is that the
farm bureau work established by
Federal and State authorities makes
the work of farm advisors a dupli-
cation. We do not feel sure that the
establishment of four more experi-
mental farms would be in line with
efforts for economy. One thing in this
direction that would more cheaply
and better serve the public would be
for every county having a county
poor farm to conduct it somewhat as
an experimental farm, with a view to
eXempliying the best methods in
practical agriculture. To conduct this
the farmer should be chosen for his
knowledge and fitness rather than
because he is q regular or a pet
OF the county commissioners. The
recommendation of the board con-
cerning farmers Institutes that i'm
ported lecturers be dispensed with
and the inspectors and demonstrators
OF the department of the State
Zoologist be substituted is poor
advice to say the least. Very
| few men and women from
other States have ever done institute
work in the State and they were cho-
sen for their special fitness for the
work. A review of the list shows they
were specialists in dairying. market
gardening, household economy, etc,
and have had definite messages to the
people of Pennsylvania. We fear IL
would tax to the breaking point the
ability of the versatile orchard DEM
onstrator to qualify in all these fields.
| The recommendation that the work of
the State Livestock Sanitary Board
and Dairy and Food Division be at
tached to and done by the State De-
partment of Health Is not practical. If
it is meant that medical doctors be the
dairy inspectors as well as health in
Ispectors. There is already too much
criticism of the kind of inspector ser
vice because of alleged impractical
demands"

4 LTRUISM In fnance has been
~ introduced by the American
4 = Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, which has announced
that it will sell its stock to employees
at s11O a share, the market price be-
ing S118.
No one may purchase more than
ten shares, and each employe who
buys must have been in the service
at least two years. Those who pur-
chase can pay for the stock at So a
share every month, while the quar-
terly dividends will be utilized to pay
off the principal. The corporation
has approximately 10000 employees
and 10000 stockholders. If half the
employees take advantage of the offer,
the number of stockholders will be OBJ
viousiy increased.
But let 1t not be thought that the
spirit which prompted the corporation
to make the offer was entirely al
truistic, though 1t was doubtless
largely so. For the man who has a
money interest in a concern, 1t is well
known, will work more faithfully and
more energetically for it's good and
prosperity. 1t is safe to say that few
who hold stock in the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph will not labor ia
their utmost to increase the COM
pany's profits each year. for the profits
of the company will then be their
profits, In very direct sense.

THE NEW YEAR

~ ROFESSOR SCOTT NEARING
member of the faculty of tht
u Wharton School of the Unlver.
sity of Pennsylvania, brancl
of which is doing such splendid work
in Harrisburg, has written a New
Year greeting which sums up so wei
the sentiment of the season that the
Telegraph herewith presents it fol
the pleasure of its readers:
There is nothing old under the
sun. Life unfolds; history is the
record of mans unfulilled great
ness. Prophecy foretellS the Fu-
ture as it waits-an eternity of
-morrow's-a limitless silence,
which we must thrill with laugh
ter and the cadence of voices with
the flute notes of resolve, the organ
tones of purpose, and the rat-ta-tat
of labor.
And therein lies the merit of
Life-that man, out of the belief
and hope that is in him. out of his
enthusiasm, his effort, and his
struggle, may shape Tomorrow in
the likeness of his souls vision.
The thought is a good one. The
new year with its three hundred and
siXty-five to-morrows is ours. We
may make of it what we will

THE ADVANCE GUARD

~ VERY organization of a Penn
II sylvania Legislature is fraught
A-A with interest for the whole
State. The duty of making
laws for commonwealth of eight
millions of people carries with it re-
sponsibility that has occasionally
vested sessions, whose officers have
been picked weeks in advance, with
features attracting much public at
tention. This year House of Repre-
sentatives, tremendously Republican
in strength, is about to organize with
a contest under way for the speaker
ship that has won the notice of peo-
pie in other States. 1t would seem
as though the Republican platform
calls for so much important legisla-
tion that several men want the honor
Men of experience, of integrity and
of skill in parliamentary affairs are
aspirants for the gavel and the battle
in the caucus next Monday night
offers as rare interest as has been
known in similar contest in many
a day.
To-day the headquarters flags are
being unfurled and the advance
guards are coming into town. Oddly
enough the headquarters of the lead
ing candidates are all under the same
hotel roof, and the friends, partisans
and hustlers for the aspirants are
humping into each other. BY to-
morrow noon there will be plenty do
ing about the hotels and Sunday
night things will be in full swing. BY
that time the advance guards will
have formed the lines.
