PLENTY OF FOOLS LEFT

Only half as many Americans as
usual went TO Europe during the fiscal
year just ended. of which eleven
months have been marred for pleasure
sojourn by the horrors and perils of
the war. The total number of tourists
and other travellers over the Atlantic,
according to official figures from
Washington, approximates but 10000
for the twelve month. against 36S,OOo
in 1914. This figure leaves out of the
reckoning all departing aliens and all
Americans who have gone abroad to
enter military service.
OF those who did tempt fortune by
crossing the greater number must, as
it seems. have sailed before the torpedo
reign of terror started, for sailings in
May, normally good month. fell this
year below $500. and those for June
under the full influence Of the Lusi-
tania horror. are estimated to have
fallen below 5000. 1t is safe to say
that the outgoing passenger lists now
represent very nearly the minimum OF
those who travel on missions of pri-
vate or business necessity.
TRUTH FROM HARDING's TOWN.

There is no occasion for voters to get
confused in connection with the early
discussion of the republican guberna-
torial nomination in Iowa.
The newspapers which do not want
Attorney General Cosson shifted to the
governorship know exactly why they
don't. It is all very well to talk about
the attorney generals opportunities for
law enforcement. but the plain fact OF
the situation is that the governor will
have the whip hand in making sue
cess or failure of prohibition in Iowa
after the first of next January. This
situation is due directly to the action
Of the legislature In giving the gov
ernor power to appoint special agents
for investigation of law violations.
As the law was originally drawn.
these special officers were to be under
the supervision OF the attorney gem
eral.
II governor friendly to the liquor
interests should be elected next year.
IL is presumai,le that his special agents
would not be very active against liquor
vendors. especially i: communities

WHAT THE MOTOR CAR WILL DO.

In Kansas City there has been a
marvellous development Of city and ad-
joining country through the construc-
ton of parks and boulevards. In nu-
merous instances additions have been
plated and boulevards graded and
paved and the paving paid for out of
the increase in the value which it gave
TO the abutting property.
These facts have suggested to the
editor of the Star that the automobile
Is going to reconstruct the cities.
When paved country lines Of road have
been secured the auto truck. the jit-
ney bus and the less expensive auto
are going to make farming more at
tractive and more profitable. This will
cause a movement from the cities to-
ward the country.
1t is just little bit difficult for old
timers to grip the fact that we shall
see greater progress in the next ten
years than we have witnessed in the
last fifteen or twenty. So far we have
not placed large reliance upon the
auto. We have looked upon il as some
thing which might after all prove a
fleeing notion. With the acceptance
Of the auto as a permanent acquisition
and the construction of hard surfaced
roads, the more far reaching effects Of
the innovation will become apparent.

realize that the effort will be a failure
unless they can fool a considerable
number of voters and convince them
that the temperance question is not an
issue.
In order to avoid misunderstanding,
1t may be advisable to explain that
newspapers sincerely advocating the
nomination of Senator Joe Allen are
not viewed as Cosson opponents. Sem
ator Allen Is a dry of the first water.
Supporting Senator Allen on his de-
clared principles are natural affiliants
of those supporting Attorney General
Cosson on his declared principles. 1t
is because OF this condition that there
is probability Of the temperance vote
being divided fnfthe primary, thus con-

Commissioners Trying
to Beautify Front Steps"
For Great Celebration

City Commissioner Bowman to-day
gave instructions to the Berryhill
Nursery Company to proceed at once
with the planting on the plaza at the
pumping station. Considerable of the
shrubbery which will be used can be
secured at the city nurseries and
planting of the trees will come later
in the autumn. Commissioner Bow
man has given much personal at
tention to this Improvement and has
been the recipient of many congratu-
lations by reason of the artistic sur
loundings of the pumping station.
His force of employees are quite as
enthusiastic as the Commissioner him
self and are cooperating with him
in making the place a beauty spot
for all who pass along the River Front.
City Commissioner Lynch, who is
cooperating with the Chamber of
Commerce committee in arranging
that the public work under his charge
is completed. if possible, before the
big celebration has given orders that
temporary electric lights shall be used
at nights on the closing of the gap
at Market street on the river wall.
Elbridge Cowden. the engineer in
charge of the work, has been pushing
along with all possible speed and has
had to overcome many difficulties by
reason of the unprecedented stage of
the water at this season of the year.
Golfer dams have been used and Mr..
COwden feels now that II will be pos
slble to complete the work before the
celebration. Such fill as will be neces-
sary to close the space between the
concrete stringers and the steps is
being obtained from several sources.
Commissioner Taylor, who is doing
his utmost to have everything
throughout the park system in fine
shape for the celebration will in
crease his force of men so as to place
the slope along the River Front
throughout its entire length in pre-
sentable condition. Considerable
damage was done to the planting dur
ing the construction of the concrete
work on the wall and the
steps and the heavy rains of the
summer have still further aggravated
the conditions but Commissioner
Taylor promises to make a personal
inspection of the whole front and
will fill in and grade and trim where
ever necessary.
In short. it is the purpose of the
heads of all these departments to do
their level best to make the Front
Steps of Harrisburg" as attractive as
possible before the celebration. To-
day the employees of the Light &,
Power Company were busy installing
the cables which will furnish current
for the standard lights along the
steps 1t is the expectation of the
company to have all this work com
pleted before the celebration.

DON'T KISS, JUST "PAT-TAT''
Tap Her Lightly on the Check, You
Might Spread Disease.
Special to The Telegraph

Huntington, w. Va, Sept. 7.-Dr.
E.W. Grover, president of the Board
of Health here, has announced that
the ancient custom of kissing must
stop, because, he says, it spreads tu-
berculosis and other diseases.
DR.. Grover advocates the pat pat
as substitute. This method of greet
ing was originated in the Republic of
Dominica, where a campaign against
the kiss was waged with disastrous
results to Cupid.
To apply the pat pat" the doctor
explains, a couple osculatorily inclined
should approach each other within
handshaking distance, pat each other
lightly on the cheek and smile. DR..
Grover says there is too much kissing.
