GOV. WHITMAN TAKES OFFICE

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1.-Charles
S. Whitman took the oath Of office
as governor today. He easily as
sumes the role of the most conspicu-
Gus political figure in the State, and
according to most people is paving
the way for a look-in at the White
House. His record as Judge and
district attorney and as q national
figure easily place him in the van.
So far as his appointments go they
seem to have been made with the
object in view Of nationalizing him
self, and they measure up well. Ap-
parently he is endeavoring to avoid
the pitfalls of the snares laid by
the politicians for the offices with
large patronage by appointing men
above suspicion Of small politics,
whose appointments will be regard
ed as solely merit and for the well
fare of the public. The States bud
get is said to be in deplorable con-
dition and the new governor has the
advice of the best generalship to aid
| in bringing the State upon a more
sound financial basis. The Whit
man administration will also have to
meet an expenditure of s3S5,oo0 for
horses and cattle killed by the agri-
cultural department because of dis
ease. The State has withheld pay
ment from the owners of these AMI
mails for the last three years.

LAST NIGHT VERY WET"

New York, Jan. More than
200 all night licenses were granted
by Mayor Mitchell for last nights
New Years revel. Mayor Gaynor's S
limit was 40. Not in many years
has there been such conviviality in
the hotels and cafes. In order to
show no favoritism the mayor grant,
ed licenses to all whom the police
passed favorably upon as conducting
orderly places. This will in a meas
ure make up for the lean" Christ
mas due to the stock exchange
caused by the war and the lack OF
Christmas cheer. The new year
was started off with the liveliest sort
of a boom with hope for better
Christmas purses in 1915.

Stories of the War
German Effort in Poland.

The enterprise with which Germany
has undertaken the development of
Poland during the past few months
puts rather in the shade the efforts
that the Russian government put
forth at various times in that portion
of it's domain. Apart from the re-
construction of the net work of rail-
ways, special attention is being given
by the Germans to the roads and to
agriculture Lodz has been repaved,
and the important main roads as far
as Warsaw have been restored and
multiplied in accordance with plans
prepared by German engineers. The
paving material is said to be of excel
lent quality, brought from Germany.
The work is practically all done by
prisoners of war.
In localities which suffered severe
ly from the blight of war the houses
are being rebuilt with brick and NOR
tar brought from Germany. Devas-
tated fields have been ~ploughed and
sowu with clover and rye for early
harvesting. Factories whose machin-
cry was not dismantled by the Rus
SLAMS or Germans are being organized
for war work of various kinds. Every
where the work of reconstruction Is
being pushed night ana day. with eth
er two or three shifts of workmen to
each twenty-four hours.
Politically, there are also evidences
OF German attention, according to the
news which reaches Polish refugees
along the Russian frontier. For pur-
poses Of present administration, Po-
land has been divided into German
and Austrian shperes of influence.

TIME FOR ARBITRATION,

Threats of mob violence as the re-
suit of the conditions which have de-
veloped in the traction strike at
Wilkesbarre call to attention again the
great injustice that is possible when
law and order are disregarded and eff
forts are made to carry demands by
force
Instead of resorting to mob rule and
the committing of illegal acts in their
endeavors to secure demands the ex-
ample which has been set in many
other communities of referring their
differences to arbitration ought to be
adopted in Wilkesbarre If the de-
mands are just it is possible to dem
onstrate the fact. If the demands are
too much and cannot be met by the
traction company that likewise is open
to proof, but when violence is resorted
to facts are departed from and an I'M
just method of reaching a settlement
is undertaken, regardless of the side
which instigates it, which cannot COM
mand much respect from an impartial
onlooker, however great is the need for
a change.
In many other communities the wis
dom of getting down to an early and
fair adjustment of affairs under sim
liar conditions has been recognized 1t
has resulted in a determination of the
disputed points by an impartial board.
1t means sound and sensible solution
of differences without resort to riots
and disorders. 1t is upon the facts
alone that such trouble should be ad-
justed and they get no consideration
whatever when mob violence and
threats fill the air. In the interests
of all concerned, and the people of
Wilkesbarre are in no small way in
volved, arbitration should put quick
end to the unenviable reputation which
that city is getting through the stories
of the demands for vengeance and
terrifying conditions which have
characterized the strike from the start
