THE YOUNG MANS CHANCE

IN his chance IL he be up and doing
and alert TO the opportunities
about him. And the main chance of
the young Harrisburg businessman
looking for a broader conception of
the commercial world as it is to-day
is the Harrisburg Extension of the
Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania.
Through the efforts of the Rotary
Club and Chamber of Commerce last
year and the untiring activity of the
University officials. the greatest busi-
ness school in Pennsylvania and one
of the greatest in the world was
brought to the city's hearthstone
where all last winter ambitious young
men and women studied the sciences
of accounting, money and banking,
corporation finance, commercial law,
and so on. The results, according to
the leaders in the citys business
world, have been more than satisfac-
tory, and several of the largest in
dustrial concerns in Central Pennsyl-
vania have established scholarships for
the promising men in their employ.
Now the University Extension is
soon to open its doors. Already
seventy men of last years class have
registered for the second year study
of industrial management. government
regulation of business, selling and ad-
vertising. and other advanced business
sciences. Sixty new young men and
women of ambition have registered
for the first year work. BY the time
the Wharton Extension opens on
October IL, fully one hundred and fifty
should be waiting for the opening
session.

hundred and fifty?

IOWA AND JIM HAM

CAMUEL ALSHULER, of Chicago,
y who has been named as United
States Circuit Judge for Illinois,
Wisconsin and Indiana, in an interview
with correspondent of the Washing
ton Post says that 'in a straight race
between Republicans and Democrats
Iowa is Republican, but If there are
three tickets it will go Democratic"
Query: Is a party progressive which
perpetuates the domination of the
Democracy?
MIR. Alshuler comes out strong for
Jim Ham Lewis for our next Vice
President. This recalls an amusing
incident which happened when Sena-
tor Lewis was temporarily presiding
oyer the Senate. A Senator arose to
question a statement made by another
Senator who had the floor. He was
recognized by him of the pink whisk
ers, who asked: Does the Senator
arise for the purpose of directing an
interrogatory? Having recovered his
equilibrium the Senator lowed that
was his purpose, and fired his ques-
tion. With Lewis in the vice-presiden-
tial chair the wrath of Dr. Samuel
Johnson might be seen smiling beati-
fically near by and the senatorial oath
of Office would be taken on the Ok
ford dictionary.

PRESIDENT AND PARTY

A RECENT letter of Joseph Tu-
n multy the Presidents secretary,
to certain Democrats in New
Jersey, asking that they forego their
plan to start boom for Mr.. Wilson's
denomination next year because the
President feels that it might seem as
If he were taking advantage of the ex-
traordinary situation now existing to
gain some personal advantage through
such an expression of confidence in
him. must have caused even the
gloomiest member of the Democratic
party to smile in his sleeve.
That same extraordinary situation"
is the one bright ray which has
reached the Democracy since that
party became the tail of the Wilsonian
kite. Every man who has criticized
the administration during the period
of its diplomatic travail has been ac-
cused of lacking patriotism; every ap-
peal to the public is based on the mar
velous foreign policy of the President.
1t is the one great issue on which the
followers of Mr.. Wilson desire to go
to the country in 1916. The identity
of the Democratic party is merged in
that of the present occupant of the
White House.

STEEL KINGS COME BACK

Both Corey and Schwab know steel,
and the real absorption of their lives
is in the great Industrial developments
Of the country. All else is quite sec
ondary, and in their new relationships,
as the chiefs of huge works in possible
competition, all their best qualities
should surge to the front. At all
events. 1t is interesting to note that
this new turn in affairs means an in
dustrial supremacy for Pennsylvania
of unparalleled magnitude and on the
soundest of bases. For il must always
be remembered that a great deal of
the talk about American industrial
proves when properly spelled means
Pennsylvania just as american tri-
umphs in bridge building in foreign
lands" have, in the most famous cases,
really meant the success of Philadel-
phia firms. The new careers of these
great captains of industry will. there

ing interest the country over than in
the State where they first demon
strated their signal abilities and where
their industrial life began.

toward the Germany of to-day IL 1t
were making ammunition for other
countries to use against US as we did
with a certain locality now embraced
by the German empire when it sent
some thousands of its hirelings to this
country to aid England in her effort
to put down the war of the revolution.
But the cases are not entirely
parallel. Germany is inconsistent, be-
cause Germany herself is now sup
plying munitions to the Austrians and
the Turks with which to kill French,
English and Russian soldiers But
more than that, Germany is lighting
much of the present war with Amer
lean supplies. We have it from
Schwab himself that for three years
before the war broke out Germany
was buying seventy per cent, of all
the vast quantities of ammunition and
guns made at the Bethlehem Steel
Works. In other words. Germany did
before the war began precisely what
the Allies are doing to-day.
If American bullets are laying Ger
mans low. so also are American bullets
staying Russian, French and English
soldiers. It is none too pleasant busi-
ness at best. But even so 1t is plain
case of tit for tat. with the Allies
occupying exactly the same position
as Germany would be did the Kaiser's
fleets command the seas.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF UPBUILDING
Reading Herald

The people who disapprove of mu-
nicipal loans may well view with dis
may the celebration in which Harris
burg is engaged this week. 1t is a
shameless and unapologetic jubilation
over the achievements of the last fif-
teen years, nearly all of which have
been due to great borrowings. Har-
risburg has spent about five million
dollars since 1900, and much more
than half of this were city loans. The
rest came from sums paid by prop
erty owners on the foot frontage as
sessment plan.
Harrisburg bought all sorts of i'm
portant things with these five million
dollars. There was no graft there. AT
least we have heard of none. The
money seems to have had a large pur-
chasing power The results are highly
gratifying. Harrisburg's streets are no.
toriously well paved and provokingly
clean. Provokingly, that is, to the
people of towns where filth accumu-
lates and slop decays. Which is not
quite the way that Oliver Goldsmith
put it, but which has familiar sound
and a Ipresent-day meaning.
There are in Harrisburg over sew
enty miles of paved streets, mostly
sheet asphalt The parks and play
grounds cover hundreds of acres. In
one of the parks is one of the finest
nine-hole golf links in the country.
OF Harrisburg's tennis courts and
baseball diamonds there is no end.
These and the golf links and the swim
ming facilities and everything else are
free. The playground system is not
so well developed as Readings. But
the Fairgrounds are there, and they
were there long before we started
ours. There is a first class water fill
tration plant, and a concrete retaining
wall along the river park front, MAX
ing, as the capital city's Tody Hamil-
ton explains. "the Susquehanna river
front unique in the world"
There is a formal city entrance,
which is unique too. There is swamp
converted into a vast pleasure lake.
Sluggish and disease breeding Pax
ton creek has been paved and
cleansed. Intercepting sewers have
been DGtlt and dam across the Sus-
quehanna serves the purpose of COW
ering sewer outfalls and providing a
green smooth surface for water sports.
All this took years 1t also took
much ingenuity and harmony. 1t re-
quired moreover the service of expert
advisers from afar
In Harrisburg the people paid for
their owr paving. and scarcely one of
them pr .ested because the value of
their pr5oerty was at once enhanced

PARKS THEN AND NOW

TN his talk at Chestnut Street Hall
the other evening. ]. Horace Nc
Farland drew attention to the
growth of parks in popular esteem in
Harrisburg during the past fourteen
years. Those familiar with the first
Improvement campaign will remember
there were many who expressed the
belief that the proposed park loan
would carry the other items down to
defeat. Parks were looked upon by
many as needless luXuries. Frequently
speakers called upon to address public
meetings in favor of improvements
were asked to put the soft pedal on
the park proposals.
But the park loan went through. for
all that, and as a result we have in
Harrisburg a park and playground sys-
tenn that is not only in keeping with
the progress of the city and admirable
from every standpoint, but popular as
well. Whereas, during the first inn
provement campaign parks were the
burden that it was feared would defeat
the whole proposition, during the past
weeks celebration they have had the
most prominent place in every part of
the program. Without the River Park
end the front steps" the crowds that
assembled to see the river carnival
could not have been accommodated.
Two markers of historical importance
were dedicated. and both in public
parks. The John Harris pageant was
staged in d public park, the military
nianeuvers were held at the Reservoir.
the school children marched along
Tart of the park system, the official
inspection followed in a general way
the more than twenty miles of park
way. and every speaker during the
celebration talked of parks
Parks in Harrisburg have come into
their own, and largely because those
who fought for public improvements
fifteen years ago insisted that parks
were needed and would be popular if
created. The emphatic manner in
which the Judgment of these pioneers
has been vindicated must have been a
source of personal qualification to them
during the past week

over 1900 deaths occurred last year

of these might have been prevented

In addition to these deaths are the
fire losses due to electricity. These
are being minimized by the use of fire
prevention rules, with regard to the in
