Quick Service Of

MOTOR FIRE APPARATUS

HARRISBURG has approved the
loan for the purchase of fire ap-
paratus. Some time ago, after
certain types of motor apparatus had
been bought by the city, the National
Board of Underwriters gave us the
discouraging news that we had bought
the wrong kind. The board did not
give reasons. 1t merely announced
after the tractors had been bought,
that the designs were not in accord
with its specifications.
If the board desires to allay the sus-
picion entertained by many Harris
burg people, that it is more interested
in explaining afterward than before,
it will give the city some idea now as
to what it's views are concerning the
kind of apparatus we ought to buy.
Harrisburg is spending money to pro-
cure protection from fire and inciden-
tally to obtain lower insurance rates
and we are tired of hearing that we
have done the wrong thing when our
intentions were good. Let the board
send on its specifications for motor
apparatus.

REPUBLICANS REUNITED
d ETURNS from Pennsylvania, New

ID ETURNS from Pennsylvania New
IN Jersey. Massachusetts and else
where indicate beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Republicans
have reunited in preparation for the
great national contest next year Presi-
dent Wilson's own State has repudiated
him twice in almost as many weeks.
and elsewhere Republicans of all views
have come together on the common
ground of opposition to Democracy as
eNemplified by the administration at
Washington.
In Dauphin county the fun Demo-
cratic strength, bolstered up by the
small remaining remnant of the Wash
iIgton party, was able to accomplish
nothing against the reunited Repub-
1lcan rank and file. The reelection of
Danner, as register, was not in any
sense n Democratic victory. Danner is
cripple, and a sympathetic public
returned him to office on that ground
and upon no other. Men of all parties
voted for him because of his physical
infirmities.
Republican ticket was triumphantly
elected. All manner of combinations
and every political trick known to the
opposition were brought to bear
against the Republican candidates. but
TO no avail
Dauphin county is normally Re-
publican district. When the voters are
content with the party management.
when they feel that the rank and file of
the party is in the saddle, and when
good men are nominated, there is
never any question of the result. All
OF these factors were apparent in the
election of yesterday and the great
Republican victory that resulted. and
added to these is the growing discon-
tent Of the people with the Democratic
administration at Washington. The
total wreck of the Washington party
is also one of the salient features of
the election locally and this vote has
returned where it belongs. to the Re-
publican column.

Eight thousand men mean vastly

navy of 100000 men would come
nearer matching the forces of a war
like enemy than an army of million.
So the navy feels itself somewhat boil
stored up and is not going in for citi-
zen camps and experimental cavalry
troops. 1t is depending entirely upon
it's militia.
Until the militia act of 1914 was
passed. the Navy Department was on
basis as unsatisfactory as that in
which the army now finds itself. The
naval militia was a STATE organization
over which the federal government
had no authority. 1t had no power to
standardize in different States nor to
enforce its rules of efficiency and
training.
Massachusetts organized the first
State militia in 1890. A year later
New York created a similar organiza-
tion, and was quickly followed by Cali
fornia. One State after another had
aligned itself until to-day there are
naval militiaS in twenty-five States,
while new organizations are being
formed in reXas and Hawaii.

can War the naval militias of the va

HOW AROUT THE CONSTNIIrR 2


CINCE the Supreme Court has de-
y clared unconstitutional and void
the State anthracite coal tax un-
der which the Commonwealth hoped
to reap some millions of revenue, it
will be interesting to observe how
soon the coal barons. who have been
collecting the tax from the consum-
ers for two years on the basis Of
twenty-five cents per ton, will make
restitution.
1t would appear that they should
for two years at least make a re-
duction of fifty cents a ton on all the
grades upon which the price was in
creased to meet the additional State
assessment. Here in Harrisburg and
elsewhere throughout the State the
innocent consumer. as usual, has been
paying the freight-in this case more
for coal-and the coal operators will
hardly have the face to persist in ask
ing more for their products, even If
they do not make restitution by re-
ducing the price for a period which
would put back into the pockets of
consumers the excess that has been
extracted from them.

.HE Navy Department has just

TINE Navy Department has just
given examinations to $50 men
of the naval militia who were ap-
plicants for commissions in the fleet
in case of war.
This was the last of a series of
events which have federalized the ma
val militia, and put it in a position
where it will automatically become a
part of the navy if an emergency
should arise.
Thus the Navy Department has Sc
cured the naturalization of the or
ganization which is to it what the Ma
tional Guard is to the army. The
War Department has not yet been able
to get the legislation it wants to pro-
tional Guard. If it had it would
effective army on short notice, and
would not be resorting to so many eX-
pedients to interest citizens in military
training.
1t was in February, 1914, that Con-
gresS passed the law which placed the
naval militia under federal direction,
and gave the Navy Department the
authority to directly coordinate 1t
with the fighting fleet. Nearly two
years have elapsed. The needed au-
thority came in advance of a troub-
lous year, and every effort has been
put forth 20 get results.
There are now SOC officers and T,706
men of the naval militia, all with o

ficiency, who might be called upon
tomorrow to fill that number of

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION

HARRISBURG is to be congratu-
i lated upon its return to CITY
council of Harry f Bowman and
William II. Lynch, but it is very
much to be regretted that the cam
paign of wilful instrumentation and
malicious falsehood directed against
NJ. Harvey Taylor, the efficient SUPER
fntendent OF parks, resulted in his de-
feat On the other hand, the defeat of
Mayor Royal removes from city affairs
a man who has nothing of a construc-
tive nature to his credit and whose
whole course since the Clark act be-
came operative has been petty, vim
dictive and obstructive. The re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Gorgas was not uneXpect-
ed, following his heavy vote at the
primaries and the fortunes of politics
have given him as his colleague in
council Ex-Mayor Gross, formerly n
Republican, but lately lined up with
the Democratic machine in his contest
for council
With Mayor Meals as presiding Of
fcer, the complexion of council still
remains Republican by the three-to-
two vote of the past two years. To
that extent the Democratic city bosses
have failed in their effort to control
the local municipal legislature.
Mayor Meals will find in Messrs
Lynch and Bowman two men who
have rendered splendid service. Their
records are clean and the conduct of
their offices has been distinctly econo-
mical and constructive. He can hone
Tor little cooperation in constructive
policies on the other side of the house
