SPRING N HOPE

AS children and adults, we look for
ward to the coming of spring with re-
newed hope. Even though the autumn
means gathering of harvests, the full
hllment of hopes, a something accom-
plished, it does not afford that renew
ed action and awakening to effort that
the softening breezes, gentle showers
and mild skies of spring call to life.
A great planting is in progress. In
the South much of it has already been
done, and like a vast wave is sweeping
from Gulf to Lakes. Probably never in
our history have so many acres been
plowed and planted as this year, for
We have not only ourselves but other
lands to feed. We look and hope for
an unprecedented yield. That's en-
couraging.
The railroads, having secured the
rate increase so long withheld, are
striving to float loans and secure the
money necessary to repair their roads
and rolling stock, long neglected. Al
ready a total of $40, OOO, 900 to be spent
in this way is announced, and the re-
suit is car shops are opening their
long-closed doors and many a small
plant which has been idle for months
is getting ready to resume and furnish
the specialties they manufacture.
That's hopeful.
The steel mills have SEM out the
welcome news, and Thousands of work
men who have been idle all winter
now hasten each morning toward the
goal Of their dependence. Not all are
needed yet, by any means, but the
number is increasing every week. That
helps.
The shelves of the country dealer
are as nearly empty as possible; so
are the storage rooms of the whole
saler and jobber. Yet they have been
able to weather the gale, for the fail
ures have been remarkably few in
number; there is no imitation in mer-
~chandising, and once the tide turns, as
it must inevitably do n of these
days, the wires will almost melt with
the frantic appeals to hurry up orders
and shipments. The factories will be
working night and day and the wheels
of commerce will merrily turn again.
All this is no dream, but the inevitable.
Some unforeseen cog may slip and oc-
casion some delay, but signs surely do
point to a splendid resumption of bust
ness from now on. That's promising.
What's the matter with us, anyway?
Big crops for two years and now war
time prices for grain and the money
piling up in the banks. The deposits
in Chicago banks alone increased $780,
600, 900 the first six weeks in 1915. We
are better off than we know, stronger
than we realize. We have not lost
our skill, nor initiative, nor vitality.
We're scared. We are like a lot of
people at a funeral; the service is
over, it's time to go, everybody wants
to leave, and each hestitates to be the
first to start. The buy it now" and
the build it now" and a lot of edo it
nows' are all right. While III sympa-
thies for others in distress naturally
depress us, it is time to rise above
our fears, and with farm hands and
brave hearts march confidently out
into our future and our destiny. And
do things.-Popular Mechanics.

been receiving extended publicity IA Soldiers
Widow" desired to know whether it was proper
for her to walk at the time with her two sons
captain and the other private.
The replies to this question of etiquette which
were published in the Observer treated>the mat
ter variously. One correspondent inclined to in
dulge in irony, advised "a Soldiers Widow to
refrain by all means, from appearing in public with
sons of different ranks and to ignore entirely the
mere private if she met him while she was in the
company of the superior officer.
Another person, treating the problem with sin
seriousness and therefore with unconscious
humor, assured the troubled widow that she could
associate with her two sons at one time without
being guilty of breach of etiquette, and he cited
precedent for such department
If GA Soldier Widow" was joker merely try
ing to start an interesting discussion she or he
tainly was successful in drawing forth fine lot of
English witticisms, intended and unntended. If,
however, the suspicious of wary readers of London
papers are not well founded and the widow really
is a woman careful of conventions and in distress
because she is confused to the rules of etiquette
then the matter is not humorous at ALL 1t is
pitiful.

HARRISBURG GOING AHEAD

Harrisburg with the rest of the nation, can rea-

NO BAREFOOT GIRLS FOR BOSTON

The Mayor of Boston has created quite stir by
ordering that society girls who are to give classic
dances at woman suffrage carnival in that city
must either wear stockings for the performance or
else not perform. He is quoted as saying that ex-
posed feet are shocking to public morals,-presum-
ably Boston public morals Despite pleadings from
the women, he has held to the contention that
Massachusetts, is not Greece. He has even init
mated by his action sad to relate that Boston does
not closely enough resemble Athens to appreciate
pure art in its artistic purity
Even the most prudish Bostonians may be able
to find nothing improper about barefoot boy with
cheeks of tan. When it comes to barefoot girl
with cheeks, of rouge, however, the strictly con-
ventional ones promptly lift their hands to their
faces and call in stern tones for stockings
The Mayor probably satisfied many circumspect
persons by issuing his decree against bare feet He
did no harm, perhaps, by his interference except to
himself in gaining the disapproval of the carnival
managers and that is personal matter. If he
thinks it is best that the dancers wear stockings,
and is backed by influential persons in the stand
he has taken then stocking foot dancing it should
be.
When Ruskin said, gentlemen, for ever you
have to pass barefoot the ford of fe' or words to
that effect, he made reference to but one of the
sexes Perhaps Ruskin has been read in Boston
and the omission noticed.

Former Congressman Burke Here

Former Congressman James +. Burke,
of Pittsburgh, was before the Board of
Pardons this week with an application
for the release of foreigner who had
killed policeman, and made one of
his old-time eloquent addresses. Years
ago Mr.. Burke was the official stepog-
rapher for the Democratic State Com
mittee, and never misses a political
convention. He afterward became an
attache of various Pittsburgh newspa-
pers. He just naturally drifted into
politics after being admitted to the
bar, and he cast his lot with the Repub-
lican party, which sent him to Con.
gress for six terms. In the last two
Congressional sessions he was assistant
floor leader to Leader Mann, and his
knowledge of parliamentary law was
daily called into use in the numerous
disputes that arose between the Demo-
cratic and Republican party leaders.
Mr.. Burke declined denomination last
year, and win attend to his law prac-
tice. Speaking of his appearance before
the Board of Pardons, he remarked that
he had made it a rule as long as he
was member of Congress never to
appear as counsel in q case before q
United States Court or q State appel
late court, such as the Board of Par
dons.
