INHAMP CLARK is about to take
~ another cup of coffee. At least,
that is the impression one gains
from reading the Washington dis
/ patches nowadays. The Speakers
/ friends believe that the President has
made little headway with his own
party in his swing around the circle
this week and it is manifestly their
opinion that Clark who was the choice
of the majority at the Baltimore con-
Ivention. may yet be catapulted into
first place at the approaching roundup
of the Democratic party in convention.
Leaders of the and-preparedness
wing of the campaign are declaring
that the Presidents speeches are cal
culated to cast distrust upon the good
faith of the administration in endeav-
oring to preserve peace. There is no
concealment of an active movement
among members of Congress who are
opposed to the Presidents idea of ma
tional defense to bring about the NOM
nation of Speaker Clark. Their posi-
tion is that the Speaker has never been
in favor of Il large standing army or
formidable navy and that he most
nearly represents those who are be-
hind the peace propaganda at Wash
ington.
Incidentally. it is suggested that
William Jennings Bryan is ready to
launch his campaign against the Presi-
dent and surface indictions lead TO
the conclusion that he would not now
be so ready to oppose Clark as he was
in the Baltimore convention.

MANAGING THE CITY
The Ups and Downs of Des Moines
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

to end in fist fights. Graft was openly
charged and its existence commonly
believed. A mayor upon leaving office
boasted of the money he had received
from contractors. The quality of the
city officials is indicated by the fact
that one retiring mayor went to work
as barkeeper, while another one
drove a dirt wagon shortly after his
term expired.
The citizens finally awoke to the
fact that they were not getting any
thing for their taxes, and a commits
sion government was instituted. There
was an instantaneous change from
black to white. The new commission
was on the job early and late. Big
city improvements were launched and
completed. Party and ward politics
were eliminated by the nonpartisan
ballot. The city administration in
every respect was almost incredibly
good.
The people of Des Moines were as
pleased with their commission govern
ment as a boy with a new sled. They
liked to try it and see it work. A man
who had been trying in vain to get an
abandoned telephone pole removed
from his parking, called up the COM
mission and had the pleasure of see
ing the pole hauled away the same
day. Little things such as this, and
big things such as paving and play
grounds, gave the people complete
faith in their commission. They con-
Cluded that they could forget all about

THE NATIONAL GUARD

VTTHEN Secretary Garrison says
wv that The National Guard has
always stood in the way of the
organization of a federal force on
sound lines he does not state the
truth. His reply to those who have
contended that some use should be
made of the National Guard in the
scheme of national preparedness is
weak indeed. The. secretary talks like
q school boy and makes assertions
which neither he nor anybody else
can prove.
Garrison is obsessed with his Con-
tiuental army idea to the extent that
ho can see no good in the National
Guard. The President is crying for
jmmediate preparation, yet we find
his chief military aide urging that the
only emergency force now at our COM
mand be thrown into the discard in
favor of the untried experiment of
Federal army that may require years
TO put on a war-footing. The coun-
try is out of patience with radicals of
any sort. What it wants is results,
and it would seem to the unpreju-
diced that some compromise could
he reached whereby the National
Guard could be made the nucleus
around which to build the efficient
fighting machine the nation needs, but
does not now possess.
The Pennsylvania National Guard,
for example, is as ready for service
as any in the country. but it is not
equipped as it should be. 1t is
trained and officered, and is made up
of a devoted, and highly intelligent
membership. What it needs is en-
couragement. 1t is capable of becom-
ing all that a Continental army ever
could be, and in much shorter time.
IT would be folly to do other than
make the most of it.

the absence of other legislation will be
obliged to carry out the mandate of
the Clark amendment.
Furthermore. the Senate action in
dicates that the Filipinos are to be
cast adrift on the world without any
agreement among the nations as to
recognizing their neutrality and inde-
pendence. The Clark amendment, as
originally drawn, provided that the
United States should negotiate treaties
of this character with the Powers of
the world and If none would enter
into such conventions then the United
States was authorized to guarantee
their sovereignty and independence for
five years. This clause was voted out
leaving merely the bare declaration
of independence.

LOCAL HOUSING CONDITIONS

TT is high time that a building code
worthy the name is provided for
the city of Harrisburg. Scarcely
a day passes that a rank offense
against humanity is not perpetrated
by some contractor who cares for
nothing save the dollars he may ac-
cumulate through rotten building
practice.
1t has been reported TO this news
paper that in one case a builder,
deliberately ignoring rules of safety,
comfort and health, has erected in
the back yard, so to speak, of a prop
erty in one section of the city two or
three small houses over garages,
where the tenants will probably die
like rats i'm a trap in case of fire.
What is the use of building inspec-
ton and building regulations and all
that sort of thing unless we have
actual results in improved housing
conditions? 1t is an open secret that
contractors and builders of a certain
class snap their fingers at the Build
ing Inspector and in effect tell him to
for the regulations and intimate that
they cannot be enforced.
1t is reported in another instance
that "a builder erected three-story
dwelling with nine-inch walls that
would probably crumple like paper
under any unusual conditions of
weather or stress. 1t may become a
question whether the city at some
/ time may not pay a heavy sum in
damages for life and property as a
result of present conditions here.
/ Harrisburg is too far along the
way of civic progress to permit this
sort of thing to go on unchallenged.
/ This is matter for the City Council,
and as the conservators of the city's
welfare no time should be lost in cor
recting a manifest evil. Let the
Building Inspector go before Council
and tell his story and not be baffied
by that class of builders who now
treat him, if we are correctly in
| formed, as joke.
/ Those helpless dwellers in weak
and ill-constructed houses, who accept
the conditions as they are and who
cannot do otherwise, must be pro-
tected from the cupidity and the in
difference of men who are placing
personal gain above considerations OF
health and safety.
In this work the Chamber of Com
merce and all the local civic organ
izations have a part. They should CO.
operate with the City Council in
bringing about as speedily as possible
the enactment of a building code that
will mean what it says and be capable
of vigorous enforcement

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ASPHALT AND ICE PLANTS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:


Harrisburg. Pa, Feb. 3, 1916.
The annual report of Highway Com
missioner Lynch upon the operation OIL
the municipal asphalt repair plant is
both interesting and gratifying. 1t
shows that the city not only obtained
the highest efficiency in service from
the plant but that it acquired con-
siderable revenue. To be exact the
cost of operation of the plant for the
year covered by the report was $500
while the revenues amounted to Sl2,-
GALS, the difference being the profit
of the operation.
One could hardly ask for better re-
suits than that but as n matter OF tact
Commissioner Lynch's report indicates
vastly better results. That is, he
shows that Notwithstanding profit
accruing to the city from all the
operations of the plant he shows that
the estimate of expenses on each job
was less than that previously charged
for similar work by the private con-
tractor who previously performed this
service for the city.
AS most of my friends know, my
hobby Is a municipal ice plant. For
that reason the report of Commission
er Lynch has a special interest TO me
because it suggests that If the munlcl-
pal asphalt repair plant has achieved
so much why not take advantages Oh
the possibilities of a municipal ice
plant An hundred-ton Ice plant
would be able to deliver ice to con-
sumers at the cost of five cents for Tor
a 25-pound chunk and operated TO
full capacity for year would yield
net profit of 100000.
This is not conjecture. During my
campaign for city commissioner last
September / gave an itemized estimate
of the cost of the plant, the expenses
of maintenance and the revenues. IL
provided better wages for labor than
the trust pays and guaranteed 90 per
cent. more ice to consumers Tor a
given sum. Yet it made certain the
earning of 100000 for the city, thus
relieving the taxpayers of that amount
of taxes of securing that much addi-
tional improvement.
L congratulate Commissioner Lynch
upon the success of his enterprise ano
Invite him to a more careful consider
alton of the advantage of municipa
/ ice plant. 1t would avert charity ice
! fund at least.
Very truly yours, -
! j. EDGAR RODENHANER.

al ambitions between the spokes of the
wheels of government.
The story of Des Moines for the last
eight years is the story of the rise,
and to some extent of the fall, of
civic righteousness. 1t shows most
clearly how commission government
will worR-and how it may stop work
ing. Above all, it proves that unless
the average citizen keeps one eye on
his municipal interests, they are apt
to get away from him.
Undoubtedly, one of the chief rea-
sons for the success of commission
government is that the campaign for
the reform attracts public attention
to public business. How to keep that
public attention awake is a problem
that MANY of the reform cities will
have to face in the future. Des
Moines, which adopted commission
government in 1907, may be said to
have faced it already, and therein
lies the importance of her story.
Before the change, conditions in
this city were picturesquely bad. Ward
politics, which are the pettiest politics
on earth had the city by the neck.
