MUST HAVE RELIEF

TINE Market street subway again
- demonstrated its inadequacy dur
ing the storm of Saturday even
ing. Five minutes after the rain be-
gan to fall it was a raging torrent.
Ten minutes later 1t was filled with
water, even the footpaths being sub
merged to the extent that pedestrians
we're compelled to use the passage be-
tween the Reading and the Pennsylva-
MIA stations as a means of getting
from the Hill to the central part of
the city. The traction company had
to resort to the roundabout State
street route to reach the East End and
steelton. Meanwhile the new Second
street subway was clear Of water and
trafic was uninterrupted.
Not only is the Market street sub
way lacking in proper drainage facili-
ties, but it never was wide enough.
Built at a time when the people had
not come to a full understanding of
the benefits of public improvements
and in the face of much protest from
Market street property owners and
businessmen, it was then the best that
could be done to wipe out the death
trap IT replaced.
But the time has come when the
subway must be widened and its
drainage so reconstructed that it will
carry off at least reasonable flow of
water. The people OF Allison Hill and
those of the heart of town and of
Steelton must not be delayed in get
ting to or from their homes in this
needless manner.
At a very early date the city au-
thorities must take up the subject of
improving the subway. There is no
more urgent need now apparent.

THE "NLANLY" COURSE

NOR years Grace C. Strachan, dis
trict superintendent of schools in
Brooklyn. has played the game of
politics with masculine imagination
and the technique of a leader who
pins his Cor herr faith to the strong
arm method. In her dealings with
the New York legislature, the school
authorities and the board of estimate
of the. metropolis she has been as uni
fornly successful as a Dick Croker
and as imperious as a Roscoe Conk-
ling. She championed the causes and
the claims of New York city woman
teachers upon any and all occasions
and was undeterred when courts, pub
lie officials and educational experts
protested that her methods were rep
rehensible and her aims most of the
time far from praiseworthy. She was
what George AIDE probably would call
Towering Figure, an example of
what woman could do in public life,
and no boss in all New York State
was held in greater fear by the poll
tcians.
- But that kind of success, while 1t
has q tendency to fatten the pocket
book, seems to be bad for the spirit.
At all events when Miss Strachan last
week was defeated in her ambition to
be elected president of the National
Education Association, instead of TAX
ing it philosophically, as a veteran of
scores Of political pitched battles
should, she passionately resigned from
the organization. She charges fraud
now, but the fact that the vote stood
47e to 1874 against her argues that
when she cools down she will take
advantage of woman's privilege and
seek some other ground upon which to
justify her petulant action.
In the face of such odds most
mere men, instead of quitting in a.
huff, probably would conclude that
the situation was one in which the
fundamental rule of practical politics.

at all in the Strachan incident 1t will
be in the reactions. In man-made
politics such things mean oblivion by
one route or another. If Miss
Strachan's followers in New York city
are sufficiently endowed with sense of

A CONTRAST IN ROADS

[From the Wilkes Barre Record.l

Neglect Of the great highways that
connect the town with the country
from which the town secures Its food
improvement has already been begun
on large scale. 1t is viewed in the
light Of Of an economic IN mic, necessity. The
fifteen years have given the people
something to think about. 1t is now a
factor to command wide attention. If
the cost of food on the farm cannot be
reduced. effort must be made to effect
economy elsewhere, and one of the
ways is to lessen the cost of distribut-
the farmer nearer to the consumer In
time IL not in distance. 1t means a
saving not only In time but in wear
and tear upon vehicles and horses.
In excess of zeal the State Legisla-
ture took over some 1000 miles Of un-
improved highways and designated
them State roads. to be improved and
maintained at the cost of the State
Since then 1t has been found that the
task is beyond the revenue possibiii~
ties. The Governor and the Legislature
have been looking about for new
sources of revenue, but they have not
yet succeeded in solving the problem
The only alternative is to move within
the limits of the revenues, however
slowly that may be. The townships and
the towns are. as a rule so poverty
stricken that they cannot make much
headway. The State must do the lion s
share of the work.
When Governor Brumbaugh desiF-
mated the 26th of last May as Good
Roads Day he made an extraordinary
request-that the public give voluntar-
lily one days time. without compensa-
tton, TO Improvement of the roads in
their immediate neighborhood Moth
ing of the kind had ever before been
proposed. 1t meant a general stirring
up of interest and It has had some
value. But the big problem remains
to be solved-how, to do the major
work of construction and maintenance
in the face OF so many other demands
upon the State Treasury. Good roads
we must have.

SUGAR MARKET SAVED


NNE of the wars remarkable ef-
fects upon American trade was
shown last week when, for the
first time in history, sugar was pur-
chased for export from the United
States to Switzerland. Although
Switzerland is a next door neighbor of
Germany, the greatest beet sugar
country in the world, the war has
caused an embargo to be laid on the
expectation of sugar from Germany
and Austria Hungary and consequent
ly the Alpine republic finds 1t neces-
sary to send three thousand miles
across the Atlantic to secure the ma
tional supply of sweetening.
Not only Switzerland. but Great
Britain, France, Italy and Greece have
been purchasers of sugar in the New
York market. In the first nine months
of the war exports amounted to nearly
100000 pounds, valued at over
S23, 100000. Naturally the heavy ex-
port demand for sugars which usually
comes to the American market has
kept the prices comparatively high,
and the American farmers who grow
sugar, either in beets or cane, are
likely to have a prosperous season.
In fact, persons familiar with the
sugar trade agree that the war has
saved this industry from extinction for
the time being.
Prior to the outbreak of hostilities
and following the legislation adopted
by Congress for the free admission of
foreign grown sugar, many sugar
mills and factories closed down and
tens of thousands of farmers abandon
ed the planting of beets and cane.
With the better price conditions
brought about by the war the Amer
lean crop probably will be larged than
ever before, and it will be possible to
continue sugar growing in this coun-
try, at least until the European con-
fict ends. BY that time the present
policy at Washington will be no more
potent of harm than a disagreeable
memory or a bad dream.

STORM PROOF

HARRISBURG to-day extends its
sympathy to neighboring towns
that suffered so severely during
the storm of Saturday night and at
the same time congratulates itself
upon the singular fact that in the
midst of widespread destruction by
wind and rain in it's immediate vicin-
ity 1t continues to remain a storm
proof city. Perhaps it is the peculiar
formation of the mountains that sur
round US or the protection afforded
by the low hills about the city
that shields us, but certain 1t is
that we in Harrisburg have very few
storms of the violence that are re-
ported from the district roundabout.
But we do not owe this fortunate
condition alone to the kindliness Of
nature and the foresight of those who
laid out the town. There was a time
when a rain of three or four inches
would have flooded the whole of Pax
ton creek valley. Sibletown and the
big industrial district along Market,
Cameron and Tenth streets would
have been under water with immense
loss to property and danger to health,
If not to lives. The city has corrected
this condition by the construction OF
the dam in Wildwood. the big in
terceptor along Paxton creek and the
paving of the creek bottom.
Nature has been good to Harris
burg, 1t is true, but our people have
not neglected to take necessary pro-
tective measures. II is as true of
cities as it is Of individuals that God
helps those who help themselves"
