BADGER
BUILDING IS
SOLD FOR $3.50
Price Not So Bad Says DR.. A. ].
Provost.

fFOFOSI.
Oshkosh, Wis, Jan. A. The Wis
consin building at the Panama-Pacifc
exposition at San Francisco has been
sold for $3.50. The building cost
$4,000. This is the information re-
ceived by DR.. A. J. Provost, Oshkosh
member of the Wisconsin commission
which had full charge Of the erection,
furnishing and operation Of the build
ing during the exposition.
While the amount received for the
building seems ridiculously small, DR..
Provost says it was a good sale in
proportion to that made of build
ings of other states and countries in
fact, the most satisfactory of any.
at must be understood that the sale
Of any building to be wrecked means
great depreciation" said DR.. Pro-
vost. "While our building cost $19,-
900, large proportion of that ex-
pense went into skill.
'After the exposition was over we
were required to remove the building
within ninety days. There were two
ways to do it, sell it outright or re-
move it ourselves and dispose of the
salvage. The exposition commission
made charge of SITS to US for an
alleged claim which we refused to
allow. They claimed that amount for
instructing the contractor how to ap-
ply stucco. We protested that the
contractor was under bond to do the
work and we had nothing to do with
any agreement between him and the
commission.
ain obtaining $3.50 for the building
we believe we did we'll. The New
York building which cost 100000 was
sold for $3,05O

Federal Reserve Bank

(From the New York Times)
In returning to the Treasury funds
deposited with the Federal Reserve
Banks for the purpose of helping the
cotton planters, the cashier of the At
lanta Bank wrote:
The action of the Honorable Secre-
tary of the Treasury in making this
special deposit with us resulted an
the cotton producers, through the as
sistance of the Federal Reserve Bank
and the member banks, being able
to hold their cotton for a much higher
price, thereby bringing into this dis
trict many millions of dollars that
probably would not have been received
otherwise"
These millions were neither made"
nor earned. The cotton planters profit
ed at the expense of those who paid
more for their clothes. and who were
as much troubled by the high cost of
living as the planters. probably more
so. The Intervention of the Treasury
was unnecessary, as the course of the
cotton trade has shown. 1t was un-
justified in that 1t is no function Of
government to make commodities either
cheap or dear, unless perhaps to con-
troll conduct by which the market is
pushed to extremes in either direction.
The cotton trade suffered in common
with all subject to the influence of the
war, but it received assistance extend
ed to no others. The incident has pass
ed and no great harm is done. Indul-
gence may easily be granted to the
claimants for the favor of the South.
But that is different from praising
their conduct, or allowing 1t to be
thought that it is a precedent for
easy or frequent repetition.

"wAR ORDERS AND OTHERS

THE LEDGER, of Philadelphia.

war orders" placed in the United
States showing that more than
$4,000, 100000 worth of munitions and
other supplies used directly by the
warning nations have been purchased
in the United States. There is food for
thought in this. 1t is direct refuta-
ton of the national administrators
contention that the country's pros
perity is due to wise legislation and
constructive statesmanship rather than
to the trouble abroad.
The effort of the publicity managers
OF the Wilson campaign has been to
convey the idea that war orders are
limited to those commodities which
are directly used in battle, such as
arms and ammunition. No such lin
tied defnition can fairly be applied
Arms and ammunition are no moro es-
senttal to an army on the battlefield
than provisions, blankets. horses, cloth
Ing, boots and shoes. automobiles, gaso-
line, oil, harness, saddles, drugs, hos
pital supplies and scores of other ar
ticles. as outlined in the Ledger's list
of contracts placed for war purposes
exclusively
Il is also the effort Of Democratic
campaign managers to convey the idea
that war orders are limited to those
warning countries to which we are
making direct shipments of supplies.

than $30,000,00O.
Much of this was owed to four great
Republic occupies two-thirds of the
island of Haiti, probably the richest,
after Porto Rico. of the West Indian
group. The European powers con-
cerned showed themselves by no
means unwilling to take care of their
interests by taking charge OF the re-
public's affairs. They had agreed
among themselves on the division they
would make of the ports. Most i'm
portant of these is SANTANA, on Sa-
mana Bay.
SANTANA Bay is one Of the most per-
feet harbors in the world, capable of
accommodating halt a dozen battle
fleets, and easily fortified. It COM
mands the Mona Passage, which Is the
direct route from Europe to the Pana-
ma Canal. AS a possible naval base
1t is OF first Importance. Influenced
by this consideration as well as by the
Monroe Doctrine, the United States
took the only step possible under the
circ umstances and stepped in We
guaranteed the debt and in turn took
over the customs. Many of the bonds
had been issued at u heavy discount,
owing to the poor credit of the repub-
lie, so, that once backed by United
States credit the actual Indebtedness
scaled down to $17.000,000.
The men who took over the customs
dministration faced one of the most
difficult and dangerous little tasks on
record. The crux of the situa-
ton lay along the Haitien bor-
der. The Dominican Republic has
| ~ lar, 10,
ting it from Haiti. Between the two
republics is a chronic ill-feeling, and
the location Of the boundary was hotly
disputed. 1t runs through one hun
dred and fifty miles of mountainous
country as wild and uncivilized as any
to be found on earth To-day. All along
the line smugglers operated freely, as
they had been operating for centuries,
bringing goods across from Haiti.
There was no use in putting American
collectors in the Dominican ports as
long as the Haitien frontier was open.
To patrol that frontier was regard
ed as a task well-nigh impossible.
The common people of the district are
q ute distinct from the Haitiens across
the border, most of whom are negroes.
The lower class Dominicans of the in
terror are almost pure Carib Indians,
Spanish speaking, a fighting race,
They regarded smuggling as one of
their vested rights, and indeed it was
the business on which many of them
depended for living. That Haitien
frontier was certainly the unhealthiest
place imaginable for a revenue officer.
The Americans established the
Frontier Customs Service to handle
the problem. H. f. Worley was
to follow the boundary line between
Haiti and the Dominican Republic
from the south shore of the island to
the north.

They would thus eliminate from the
war-order classification those COM
modities which we ship to neutral
countries bordering on or adjacent to
nations at war; such as Norway, Swe-
den. Denmark, Holland. Spain, and, in
the earlier stages of the conflict, Italy.
As matter OF fact, practically all the
supplies sent to Germany and Austria
have gone through these neutral coun-
tries. Those were war supplies, not
withstanding the indirect method by
which they reached the ultimate pur-
chaser.
But these the Ledger does not in
clude in its three-billion list.
Moreover, the Democrats have over
looked. or at least ignored, in their
public statements the effect of war
orders in building up our trade with
South American countries. South
America has been largely shut off from
securing supplies from the nations now
at war. Naturally they turned to the
United States for the manufactures
they must have. While these COM
modities are not in any sense used in
war by those countries, or shipped by
them to the countries at war, yet so
far as the development of our own
commerce is concerned the sales are a
direct result of the war and are prop
erly classed as war orders. We have
received these orders as a direct result
Of the outbreak and continuance of the
war. We would not have received
them otherwise, and we have no assur-
ance that we shall retain them after
the war has closed. Short-sighted, in
deed is he who fails to recognize trade
of this character as war-order trade
in all essential particulars.

LEST YOU FORGET, MIR. BoATMAN

DERMANENT organization of the
city's great body of canoeists,
motorboat men and other aquatic
sportsmen is planned for this evening
at 7.S0 o'clock at the Dintaman boat
pavilion, and If the apparent interest
of the. river enthusiasts be any indi-
cation of the outcome, then Harris
burg's navy is assured.
How generally the advantages of
such body Ire being appreciated is
Indicated by the suggestions that are
being put forth from time to time by
followers of the river. An Allison Hill
man to-day offers an excellent thought
in the shape of a motorboat patrol
with pulmotor equipment. Certainly
the idea of a permanent navy is TAX
ing hold and the time for getting to-
gether in definite way is surely pro-
pitious. The opportunity for formally
requesting recognition of City Council
is offered and the city's canoeists, mo-
torboat men and other boat enthusiasts
will have a chance to express them
selves officially to the municipal au-
thorities by means of resolutions.
Now is your chance. Mr.. Boatman

A Sugar-Coated Park Bill

(trom the Phila. Public Ledger.)
If President Wilson's approval of
the federal good roads" bill shall
be taken as an index of his attitude
toward other pork" projects of the
present Congress, the rivers and har-
bors bill may be thought to be in little
danger of veto. The good roads"
measure. is one of those extensions of
the scope and activities of the federal
government which are totally at vari-
ance with the traditions and profess
sions of the Democratic party; but con-
sistency is not one of the modern poll
tical virtues, and the discrepancy in
this instance between party theory and
prac-.ce does not apparently disturb
the majority in Congress nor the Exc
cutive. The aggregate appropriation
carried by the good roads bill is a large
one-$S5, 100000 to be expended over
a period of five years--and the single
item that is not open to serious OBJ
jection--S1O, 900, 900 for the opening of
roads in the national parks-is accom-
panied by the express condition that
the money must be repaid out OF the
revenues of the parks!
SO far as the States are concerned
the money is to be apportioned accord
ing to complicated ratio, taking into
account population, area land the mile
age of rural delivery routes The os-
IeHs4oIq purpose OI the law Is, OF
course, to assist in the improvement of
post roads; and the requirements that
the States must expend an amount
equal to that contributed by the fed
eral government, and that the i'm
provements must be substantial in
character" and maintained by the
States, on their face take away some
of the odor of pork" But the project
is wrong in principle and is bound to
open the door to gross waste of public
money.

DIVIDING THE GARMENT

ATOW that the little Philadelphia
IN scheme to establish a Branch
Capitol" in that city has been ex-
plotted, it would seem to be the busi-
ness of Pittsburgh and Scranton and
Erie and perhaps other cities of the
State to insist upon their share of the
distribution.
If>it is proper that important de-
partments of the State government
should be transferred to Philadelphia
in an expensive building to be known
as a Branch Capitol" then it is just
as proper that other departments go to
Pittsburgh and still others to Scranton
and Erie. This would probably mean
the complete dismemberment of the
government as 1t now exists on Capitol
Hill; but when this sort of thing begins
it ought not to be confined to any par
ticular part of the State.
OF course, this would leave a mag
nificent State house and a fine park as
a mere memorial of the wisdom of
those fathers of the Commonwealth
who determined that Harrisburg was
the HdJuEdl lOCdIlOH IOE lie scat Oh
government in Pennsylvania, but the
building might also be used as a
museum for the installation of statues
of little men who will never forget
their provincial ideas in their efforts
to exploit Philadelphia politically and
otherwise at the expense of the entire
Commonwealth.
It will not be forgotten that when
the movement was set on foot at the
time the old Capitol was destroyed by
fire to remove the seat of government
to Philadelphia that the distinguished
men of the State, including United
States Senators Quay and Penrose, en-
tered a vigorous protest and the
scheme was abandoned. 1t will get no
farther under the guise of a Branch
Capitol"

Millions For Steel Plant
(From the Baltimore American.


Forty millions of dollars in extern
sions and in new plants for the use of
the Bethlehem Steel Company and it's
allied industries strikes the average
Baltimorean as simply colossal. That
this money Is actually to be put into
Steelton and Sparrows Point is a mat
ter OF such high satisfaction as to
cause a warmth toward the man who
has selected the Baltimore location for
his immense outlay--such sentiment as
the city always feels toward those who
repose confidence in it and make the
practical evidence of their confidence.
Mr.. Charles M. Schwab is the most
significant figure in the Steel indus
try of the nation. or, perhaps. the
world. Here will be a marine depart
ment that will in fact outclass any
shipbuilding plant in the United
States, where any type of craft may
be built and where the government s
new type of submarines will, doubt
less, be manufactured. The details Of
the immense projected outlay are too
complex for simple recital, and the
community is asked to be content for
the working out of a veritable Alad-
din's lamp of opulence through the
massive outlays to be made at Steel
ton.
Mr.. schwab asks the hearty sup
port of the people of Baltimore in
the development of this greater Steel
ton. Such support he is sure to re-
ceive and 1t will be given in a way
that must be to him an assurance of
good will. This is an era of great
things, of great plants. of great en-
terprises and Baltimore rejoices to
know that it will have share in
them.
