TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 80
PASS THE RII

~ n another page of the Telegraph
to-day there is published a map
~ of the Capitol park extension
zone, showing the properties
acquired by the State and those yet
to be bought. The Extension Commits
sion announces that 100000 will be
necessary to complete the purchases.
This should be forthcoming, and no
doubt it will be.
The commission has done an excel
lent work. 1t has dealt with the prop
ceived prices as high as they could
have expected from a private pur-
chaser. But not one of them has re-
coiNed more than should have been
paid under the circumstances, as a
careful examination of the records will
reveal. Everything has been open and
above board. The figures of each
Critics have not been above prying
beneath the surface of every transfer,
but in no instance have they been able
to find anything but n praiseworthy
effort on the part of the commission
To deal fairly both by the State and
the property owner.
The commissions task has been
difficult. Mistakes might have occurred
even with the best of intentions. 1t
would have been easy for the commits
sion to have involved itself in a maze
nf controversy that would have aroused
bot. the antagonism of the land own
ers with which they were dealing and
the people of the State at large. In
decd, 1t is remarkable, considering the
complications, that some such mis-
understanding did not arise. But that
it did not and that the commission has
been able to conduct its duties to the
satisfaction of all concerned and with
out a whisper of adverse criticism even
from those who make it their business
to criticise is high praise indeed.
The act authorizing the extension
of the Capitol grounds requires that
all the land in the zone be purchased
by June l, 1917. That makes it neces-
sary for additional funds to be placed
at the disposal of the commission at
an early date. The $500, 900 must be
appropriated this year if the provisions
of the law are to be met No doubt
the legislators will view the matter in
that light and put through the neces-
sary appropriations without delay. BY
doing so they will not only meet the
emergency with which the commits
sion is confronted, but will promote
the progress of an Improvement in
which the whole State is interested.

nessmen familiar with its contents
and intent.
All this by way of pointing out the
fallacy of the theory held at WASH
ington that businessmen are averse
to anything smacking OF govern
mental regulation. Quite the reverse
is true. Business does not object to
proper restrictions. 1t stands ready
to assist in the enactment of construc-
tive legislation of that kind. What
1t does object to is the attitude of the
Wilson administration, which appar-
emily has assumed that II is everlast-
ingly right and that every business
man disagreeing with any of its poll
cies does so from dishonest motives

gress just recently adjourned. The
approval of the partnership code by
Governor Brumbaugh last week places
on the statute books of the State a

is at the same time beneficial to busi-
ness. The law is generally helpful
and Injuries nobody.

PUPILS NOT ALL TO BLAME

n UPERINTENDENT SHARP. of
the Columbus schools, made
~ public the other day the fol-
lowing, which were among the
answers of eighth grade pupils to a re-
cent examination:
The four largest cities in Indi-
ana are London, Chicago. Singapore
and Paris.
Woodrow Wilson is Governor of
Indiana.
Milk should be kept clean and in
spected at least once "A year.
Morse discovered artificial breath
ing.
Dixon is Governor of Indiana.
He is also Congressman.
The wind makes health by giving
people bad colds.
We cook food to make it more
pilotable. When the teeth are gone
the stomach must digest the food
Superintendent Sharp may think
these answers funny. In a sense they
are. But they reflect a serious condi-
ton in Columbus schools. If eighth
grade pupils in Harrisburg schools
were guilty of them the Telegraph
would recommend q new city superin-
tendent or the removal of the teachers
for such inefficient meth
ods as those displayed in the examin-
alton papers quoted.

All ANihtAN IL 1stA - 'aitiAA man W
the United States Steel corpor-
~ alton, discussing business con-
ditions the other day:
The reason for these adverse con-
ditions has been partly the fautt OF
the businessmen. We had become
more or less careless in manage
ment. Indifferent to the rights ami
interests OF Others regardless of
our responsibilities toward those
for whom we had become trustees,
as directors. officials or otherwise,
and unmindful of the general pub
lie welfare. ] make no personal ref
erence and have no indiXidual or
corporation in mind. All of us
failed TO measure fully up 10 our
obligations.
That is true. The old-time spirit OF
the public be damned" is back of all
the troubles that business faces to-day,
insofar as unfavorable legislation is
concerned. With a firm hand on tn
bride business rode hard and fast to
a fall. When the people did finally
get the upper hand they went too far.
They elected radicals because they
were radicals. and for the reason that
they wanted to make sure OF putting
a check upon unscrupulous capital.
The result has been that all business,
good and bad, has been made TO suf-
fer unnecessarily and the people them
selves have felt the reflex of the blows
they dealt.
The liquor interests are in precisely
the same position to-day. They have
been and are as reckless of public in
Lerest and public sentiment as the
great captains of industry We're a
few years back-and they are riding
10 the same hard fall. When the peo-
pie are once firmly in the saddle they
write on the statute books laws that
will be far more drastic than had been
The case if their demands for reason
able regulations had been early recog-
nized.
And make no mistake about the peo-
pie getting the whip hand-they will

he delay the more strength will be

THE RESIDUE

Though we boast of our civilization
And prate of the marvellous plan
BY which ev'ry foe i'm creation
Is harnessed in service of man.
Yet the force we are slowest to mas.

Breeding misery. death and disaster,
Is the force of our primitive hate.

And worship the militant plan,
