y what he calls the highly bene-
fetal legislation" enacted by the
Democratic party.
Beneficial" is a well-chosen word.
Democratic tariff legislation was bene-
fetal to foreign producers, who inn
mediately proceeded to seize our mar
kets and were succeeding finely until
the war broke out and curtailed both
production and expectation.
Democratic shipping legislation has
been beneficial to japan in enabling
that country to buy cheaply the ships
that could no longer operate under
American laws.
Democratic civil service legislation
was beneficial to a horde of "deserv-
ing Democrats who couldn't get on
the government payroll under the
merit system. but who were placed
there by suspension of the civil service
requirements.
And ultimately Democratic legis-
lation will prove beneficial to people
who would like to buy few govern

While prohibition has again been de-
feated in Ohio the antiprohibition
ma jority, which was approximately S5,-
600 a year ago. has been reduced to
less than half those figures and the
dry leaders predict that the complete
returns will show an even closer vote.
The antiprohibition vote was expect
ed to reach at least 100000 and the
wet leaders were more than surprised
to learn that the heavy vote of the
rural districts had greatly increased the
dry majority despite the record-break-
ing registration. All of which is sig
nificant OF the antiliquor movement
throughout the country.

JOHN HAY AND LINCOLN

Hay was at Gettysburg, together
with John w. Forney, Wayne Mac
Veagh and John Russell Young, when
Lincoln delivered the brief but now re-
nowned address-the -Four score years
ago." etc. But neither the address nor
the occasion made very much of an i'm
preston on Hays mind at that time.
Evidently he was much more interest
ed In the convivial patriotism of For
ney in his hours of relaxation. 'I got
a beast, he wrote, "and rode out with
the President and suite to the ceme-
terry in procession. The procession
formed itself in an orphanly sort of
way and moved out with very little
help from anybody; and after a little
delay Mr.; Everett took his place on
the stand-and Mr.. Stockton made a
prayer which thought 1t was an ora
tlon-and Mr.. Everett spoke, as he
always does. perfectly; and the Presi-
dent, in a firm. free way. with more
grace than is his wont. said his half
dozen lines of consecration-and the
music walled, and we went home
through crowded and cheering streets"
subsequently Hay met Simon Cameron
as well as Wayne MacVeagh and all
three had dinner on a Northern Central

OUR NEXT STEP

TTAv1NG determined for another
II period of two years who shall
conduct the government OF Har-
risburg our people may now turn their
faces toward the sun and push for
ward to the greater development still
awaiting this progressive community.
There is much yet to be done that is
still In the embryo stage and all the
agencies already organized for the
advancement OF the city must join in
q general forward movement during
the next few months.
There will be differences of opinion.
of course. regarding details and neces-
sary adjustment of methods here and
there, but the interests of all the peo-
pie are bound to be conserved in any
plans which will finally be adopted
because of the harmony of action that
has characterized and will continue to
characterize the public-spirited eff
forts of the entire community.
The high lights of the next epoch
of our development include the erec-
ton of an adequate Central High
school building, the elimination of the
'Hardscrabble' section along the
River Front, the creation of radial
highways which will provide for the
future growth OF the city in every di-
rection and a city-wide movement
looking to the improvement OF our
housing conditions Much of the fu-
ture prosperity of the city will de-
pend upon scientific planning, to the
end that enormous expense may not
be entailed in the years to come upon
those who follow after us in the OPEN
ing up of residential sections and busi-
ness centers In providing for these
things through wise planning at this
time we are comforting upon our pos
terity benefits quite as important as
any other bestowal that might be ar
ranged.
Harrisburg has continued for a
period OF years to occupy a large
place among the progressive cities of
the country and it is the duty of the
citizenry of the present day to con-
slider intelligently and act with wis
dom and foresight upon the problems
AiASlA hAoSN bC SOlN GU lOE lAS BOOu Oh
future generations. 1t ought to be
the pride of the citizenry of Harris
burg to make their city even more
than ever before an example of civic
progress and municipal betterment.
1t is not necessary that we plunge
into burdensome debt; we need only
to proceed in the same conservative
fashion that has made possible what
has already been achieved; but there
must be cooperation along the entire
line. The Chamber of Commerce, the
Rotary Club, the Society of Engineers,
the Civic Club and all the other active
organizations must labor together with
the one end in view of making Harris
burg the most attractive, healthful,
prosperous and beautiful city to be
found anywhere in the world.

through the changes and amendments
and drastic legislation of this sort.
These are out of patience with the
weakness of leaders who have listened
and surrendered to public clamor for
change rather than invoke the wrath
of the thoughtless masses who so
often are swayed and influenced by
superficial reforms which have in
reality no relation to reform whatever.
Even the courts have not been able
to adjust the situation or clear the
air. 1t would, therefore, appear to be
the duty of practical and sensible men
of all parties to get together before the
next session of the Legislature and force
such changes and amendments as
will give the voter some chance to de-
post his ballot in an intelligent way.
1t ought also TO be understood that a
form of ballot easily understood
should be one of the first changes.
Multiplication OF political parties and
the injection of an alleged nonparti-
san scheme into the general mix-up
has brought about a condition which
is almost intolerable. Ballots are fire.
quently improperly marked. resulting
in the Acknowledgement of thousands
of voters in the state. Until there
shall be a change in the laws this re-
suit is inevitable.
There will doubtless be opposition to
any proposal looking to a change of
the election laws, which havo been the
outcome of political agitation, but it
is manifestly necessary to correct and
make more simple a system of voting
which invites fraud and all its train
OF evils.
