THIS CITY FAVORED

7 HARRISBURG has been more
II than fortunate this winter in
= u the quality of the lectures and
the music offered to those who
crave something better than is ordi-
narily possible in cities of its size. IT
is to the credit of our people that they
have shown their appreciation by pat
ronaSe and attendance. The illus
trated lecture of Irwin S. Cobb. for in
stance, drew a large house and there
is every indication that the concert of
the noted Irish tenor, John McCor-
mack, this week, will break the rec
ford for the winter. Cobb spoke only in
pittsburgh, Reading, Harrisburg and
Philadelphia. Mccormack will sing
only in Pittsburgh, Scranton, Harris
burg and Philadelphia, in this State.
$50 1t will be seen that we in Harris
Fburg are especially favored. There is
lonly one way to encourage these visits
Iof stars of metropolitan magnitude and
I'VE seem at last to have hit upon it
Eenerous patronage when they come.
THE large attendance at the concerts
of Melba, Paderewski and others was
Fthe argument that is bringing other
artists of world-renown.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1.
A PROFITABLE TRANSACTION

~ is estimated that it will not be
many years before the properties
bought by the Commonwealth for
extension of Capitol Park will have
doubled in value. The natural growth
OF Harrisburg and the increment that
will follow the erection of handsome
buildings fiKe the Technical high
school and those which have been
/ projected to front on the proposed
park will literally make the value jump
year by year. Everyone familiar with
Capitol Park Extension Commission
drove some mighty keen bargains in
behalf of the State and it would take
/ very little study on the part of a
stranger coming to Harrisburg to see
/! that the proposition to acquire the
twenty-nine acres in the extension dis
ftrict for 100000 would be good busi-
mess. 1t is NOW estimated that $500. 900,
or . per cent. of the money originally
calculated four years ago. will be re-
quired to buy the churches and other
buildings remaining unowned by the
Commonwealth. The S2,000,O0O ap-
propriated will not reach and as the
commission has not been forced to go
TO court on purchase of any one of 43O
parcels of property it is right in ask
ing the additional sum to enable it to
complete the work.
In plain language, the purchase of
the property for park extension was a
better thing financially for the State
than for the city Harrisburg gave the
acreage in the highways and loses
over S2,000.000 in taxable property.
The State will get the whole district
for S2,3O0,000 and in five years time
Will have a plot greatly enhanced in
value above the purchase price.
The commission has been business
like, as anyone dealing with its mem
bers knows, and its request for addi-
tional money, which has been carefully
worked out and brought before the
proper authorities, should have prompt
and favorable consideration.

THRIFT Is GROWING

n HUCH thought is being given just
M now to the matter of teaching
" i the American people to save.
Saving is n habit, just as is
spending, and the National Society for
Thrift and kindred organizations are
endeavoring to impress through the
printed word the thought that only by
saving in youth can one enjoy pros
perity in the lean years of old age.
That these agencies are being sue
cessful in no small measure is indi-
Gated by the fact that the Federal
Bureau of Education in the Depart
ment of the Interior at Washington
reports that there is now on deposit in
the school savings banks of the United
States a total of $1,250,00O deposited
by 217, 900 pupils.
Small savings accumulate rapidly
and the boy or girl who learns to nut
his pennies at interest will have a fair
foundation upon which to build what
ever fortune he may be able to acquire
in later years. 1t is gratifying to note
that Pennsylvania is not behind hand
in this respect, Pittsburgh and Chester
pupils having to their credit more than
$4,000.
The school banks have been success

NEED FOR STATES HAND

lSCLOSURES regarding the over
crowding of dwellings in indus
- trial regions of Luzerne county
emphasize the necessity for the
Bureau of Housing established in the
Legislature, and it is to be hoped that
the General Assembly will take care to
provide funds adequate to conduct it.
Under the terms of the act, which was
sponsored by NJ. C. Watson, of Indiana
county, the State has authority to in
spect any property outside of the mu-
inequalities having their own supervis-
ory laws and to order correction of
conditions menacing health and we'll
being. Recourse to the courts on the
part of both the Commonwealth and
the owner is arranged so that the
right of appeal is guarded. I'm
fortunately, the revenues did not per-
NIT Commissioner Dixon to do more
than outline~the work and make some
preliminary Investigations.
Operating through the system of
medical inspection and the checking
up of statistics which has been reduc-
ed TO such an eminently practical basis
in the Department of Health, officials
discovered that 90 of $50 school chill
dren in one ward Of Nanticoke were
suffering from tuberculosis and that
others were in physical shape showing
unsanitary home conditions. to say the
very least. An inspection followed
and a situation calling for prompt
steps was uncovered. Local authori-
ties are acting with the State officials
in an effort to improve the state of
affairs and further steps will be taken.
There are probably many other dis
tricts of the State where similar condi-
tions may be found and the Depart
ment of Health should be backed up
by a substantial appropriation to make
it's work in this line as effective as it
is in others of which it has taken hold.

body, not even the President, pro-
fesses to know. So far as clearing the
air for business it has actually be-
logged the financial and industrial
atmosphere as never before. The
President says that business in this
country has been checked" recently
"by maze of interrogation points. -
This is true and the chief interrogation
point has been the President himself.
And like Cadmus and the dramon's
teeth, where the President slew the
monster before which business has
stood in terror, there has sprung up
a million other question marks in the
form of his Interstate Trade Commits
sion and its possibilities.
The President loudly proclaims that
great majority of the business men
of the country are honest, yet he sets
over them like cross-tempered old
school teachers, rod in hand, flve
mentors empowered to tell them what
they may or may not do, and to pun
ish infractions. 1t would not be so
bad were the rules of the game" laid
down definitely for the commission to
follow, but largely it is to be the
maker of its own rules and the busi-
ness man is likely not to realize that he
is violating some one of them until he
feels the sharp rap of governmental
regulation on his finger tips.
The new freedom" of which the
President so glibly prates is less ap-
parent now than it was before he be-
gan his remarkable career in the
White House, and if business is inn
proving, it is not because of what
the present administration has done,
but in spite of it. Two years hence, we
predict, we shall begin to undo lot of
the folly of those whose brief term of
power has been crowded with more
impractical theories and bad man
agement than would seem possible to
have packed into four short years.
