PROFITS OF FINANCIERs

THE evidence of James Speyer
during the recent investigation
= into Rock Island affairs by the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shows that the firm of which he
is the head had within eight years
handled more than $17O, 100000 worth
of bonds and notes at total profit to
itself of about eight-tenths of l per
cent
The editor of the Boston News
Bureau draws attention to this as in
strong contradiction of the general
opinion that bankers make immense
sums from railroad and industrial
financing. In this connection 1t is to
be remembered that j. Pierpont Nor
gan, when called upon to make public
ms prohts in certain deals, showed
that in many instances they were
smaller than those the Speyer COM
psny acknowledges.
1t would appear therefrom that
while returns for financial transactions
OF the kind are tremendously large.
TINS Is true because of the opportunity
they offer to collect commissions on
extraordinarily large sums and not be-
cause OF heavy percentage of earn
ings. Few business houses could live
on profit of eight-tenths of l per
cent. Tor a period of eight years.

THE EASTER ARGOSY

lTNHE Belgian Relief Committee $
appear 10 the boys and girls OF
= America to send an Easter
Argosy laden with food and
clothing for the boys and girls OF
stricken Belgium is reminiscent of the
plea of the charitable people of the
country at the time of the Crimean
war, when children went about beg
ging "a cent for Sebastopol, please"
The little banks that were provided
for collectors accommodated a dollar
or more, and thousands of them were
given to children throughout the cities
of the United States and in this way
large sums were raised for the relief
of the starving people of the war de-
Vastated area.
To-day the number of those who
must be fed and clothed, if they are
not to perish for lack of the necessi-
ties of life, is greatly in excess of the
small army of sufferers left in the
wake of the Crimean campaign. But,
also, there are more in America to
extend the helping hand than during
the day of the penny bank, and doubt
less the Easter Argosy will sail away
loaded to the gunwales with the Easter
gifts of generous American lads and
lassies who have inherited the gener-
Gus spirit of their fathers and moth
ers.

Division street base their contentious
upon the very reasonable proposition
that foot bridge there can be re-
Earded only in the light of a tenn
porary structure which would hold
up unduly the construction of a
proper crossing at that point and in
The end be uneconomical from the
standpoint of both the city and the
railroad company.
1t is scarcely possible to look upon
the proposed foot bridge as anything
more than a crossing for the benefit
of railroad employees. whose safety
must be regarded by the company.
and who are now greatly delayed in
getting to and from the big freight
transfer sheds by train blockades.
The needs of the public are not met

although, as one member of the West
Ehd Improvement Association has
said' a half-loaf is better than none
The public has, beyond question, a
right to ask for at least one safe
crossing between Maclay street and
The subway at the head of Wildwood

the logical location. The city has
grown rapidly to the west OF the
tracks, but developments will be ex-
teedinSly slow on the very desirable
nigh ground to the east of Wildwood
Park until proper crossing facilities
are provided north of Maclay street.
Beside, the people have spent thou
sands of dollars for the ACQUISITION
of Wildwood Park, and it is a ques-
ton whether the Public Service Com
mission would not decide that they
are entitled to reasonably easy ac
cess to 1t.
Just now the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is spending hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in freight station
improvements in Harrisburg at a time
when few other corporations are do
Ing any constructive work. This CITY
Is getting more than its share of
railroad expenditures. Times are ex-
cessively dull with the company. as
the recently. issued annual report
shows and for that reason it might
not be reasonable to ask for the build
hng of driveway bridge or subway
this year. While such a crossing is
badly needed, nobody in Harrisburg
desires to put additional burdens on
ahe company. But the people of the
CITY, and particularly those of the
West End, are fearsome lest the foot
way proposed will stand in the way of
the adequate and permanent improve
ment they want and should have. If
The company cannot afford the neces-
lsary outlay for driveway bridge

whole thing over until business i'm

waiting, and reaping and harvesting
have been the occupations of man
since he first passed from the obscurity
of savagery toward the civilization of
to-day. All wealth comes from the
soil. The nation of intelligent farmers
is Invariably nation of prosperous
people. The more our boys and girls
know Of agriculture and the more they
enjoy putting their knowledge into
practice. the better and more thrifty
they are likely to be.
1t is to be hoped that Harrisburg
will find some way in which to follow
Johnstown's lead in this respect.

THE JEWS IN THE WAR

~ HE editor of the Jewish Daily
News, an influential New York
4 newspaper, has suggested the
calling of an American Jewish
conference for the purpose of bring
ing to the attention of the nations the
doporable plight of the Jews of Eu-
rope; particularly since the outbreak
of the war;
Nearly half-million Jews are
fighting in the ranks of the armies
Of the beligerent nations, battling in
behalf of the countries in which they
have suffered and are still suffering
terrible iniustices through the depriva
ton of rights accorded to all other
peoples. While husbands and sons are
on the firing line, news dispatches re-
port that wives. daughters and moth
ers are at the mercy of anti-Semites
who, Notwithstanding this display OF
Jewish patriotism, are in some in
stances inciting the populace against
them. This is notably the case in Po-
land, where, in addition to such out
RACES it is reported the savage Cos
sacks have been guilty of even worse
outrages than the Germans have been
accused of committing in Belgium.
The editor of the News has the right
idea. So long as the Jews of Amer
lea remain supine it is scarcely to be
expected that public opinion will he

.of Jews everywhere TO raise their
voices against continuation of such
conditions in Europe as appear to exist.

BOTTLING MILK
THE decision of the Board of

THE decision of the Board Of
Health to require the bottling Of
= all milk sold in Harrisburg is a
step in the right direction. But
it will have little effect except to make
conditions worse, unless the ruling is
accompanied by another requiring the
sterilization of all bottles.
The possibilities of contamination
that lie in the indiscriminate use of
bottles are not difficult to understand.
If it is permitted, as at present for a
milk dealer to gather the empty bot
ties from one doorstep, fill them in his
wagon and deliver them to customers
along the route, the way is left open
TO all manner of evils. This has been
done and is being done, as may be
proved by an early trip about the city
any day.
Physicians say that not infrequently
they find milk bottles used as flower
vases and put to far more objection
able services in sick rooms where not
infrequently diseases of a communi-
cable character exists. In carelessly
managed households the milk bottle is
the handy and common receptacle for
all manner of liquids. Unless some
way is found to make it absolutely
clean when the milk is poured into it,
the bottle is apt to be just as danger
Gus if not more so than the old
fashioned open-topped pitcher, which
has been condemned so severely and
properly, too.
The only safeguard is sterilization
and stiff penalty attached for viola
tions.

TEACH THEM GARDENING

TH HE Johnstown Leader very prop
erly commends the Johnstown
= School Board for having voted
to meet the expense of main
tanning the school gardens of that city
for another season. Johnstown has
done something that Harrisburg might
we'll initiate.
Gardening for children is not only
obstructive, but highly beneficial from
a physical standpoint. and enjoyable,
too. We pay big salaries to playground
INSTRUCTORS to teach our children sys-
itematic methods of play. These men
yand women direct the activities of the
boys and girls along helpful lines dur
1ng the recreation period of the sum
lmer months when the schooIhouses
ARE closed and much of the ordinary
restraint is removed from the lives OF
the pupils. This is all very well and
nobody for moment would put any
thing in the way of the splendid work
that is being done on the municipal
Fairgrounds, but would it not be we'll
TO vary the play program with exer-
,cises that would teach the boys and
girls something of gardening while be-
itng just as pleasurable as some of the
lgames in which they are encouraged
ito indulge?
Johnstown proposes to so occupy
ithe time of its boys and girls that they
shall be producers instead of merely
consumers. which is observing an eco
inomical principle OF no mean impor-
tance. There is no exercise more
wholesome than that of growing
things. The boy or the girl who does
not understand the fundamentals of
flower and vegetable gardening has
rnissed very much OF life indeed. Dig

from Warren Van Dyke, secretary of
the Democratic State committee, man
aged to assemble less than a dozen
of the forty-one Democratic members
of the legislature in the office of Mr..
Mccormick yesterday afternoon for
discussion of ways to make capital out
of the situation on Capitol Hill. 1t ap-
peared to be the general impression
of the members who listened to the
summons that valuable time had been
lost and that it would not do much
good to start anything now. The
Democratic members who ignored the
word to appear at the throne room
or who were considered too opposed
to machine domination to be asked
said openly that it did not matter what
Morris and Mccormick did.
According to what was going the
rounds on the Hill to-day Morris asked
the Democrats whom he saw person
ally at the Capitol and in McCormick's
office to vote for local option. Most of
them are pledged that way anyway so
he did not get much credit out of it.

option paid no attention to him and

formation was given that it was not
ready yet, although the session will
soon be on the home stretch. 1t is be-
lieved that some of the bills thrown
