THE "sCUTTLER" KILLED

THANKS to the vote of Repub-
licans in the House. standing
solidly together, President Will
sons plan to "scuttle" the Philippines
has been shattered. Never was there
a more shameful example of shirking
national responsibility than this effort
of the President to cast the Philip
pines adrift at time when the people
of the islands are helpless to save
themselves either from internal dissen-
sion or ruthless foes from without.
Under the guardianship of the
United States the Filipinos are being
taught the ways of civilization and are
being fitted for eventual self-govern-
ment. The masses live better, have
more freedom and enjoy larger voice
in their own affairs than ever before.
But they are not yet ready for the
responsibilities of home rule.
Nobody in the United States has
any desire to hold the Philippines per-
manently. They are an expensive
luxury and very doubtful asset. But
n proper regard for the lives and prop
erty of helpless thousands bids us guard
their rights until they are able to bear
their own burdens /and shape their
own government unassisted.

SOME PROFITABLE HOBBIES
Raising Gold Fish
BY Frederic J. Haskin

TINE center of attraction in a Phila-
delphia pet store a few days
ago was an aquarium filled with
brilliantly colored little fish, whose
abnormally developed tails and fins
floated and wavered about them like
fairy draperies. So perfect were they,
and so purely decorative their beauty,
that they seemed less like products
of nature than of some fantastic inn
agination.
Presently man who was gazing
at them with rapt attention indicated
that he had chosen the one he wanted
to buy. 1t was carefully captured
and put in a little tin bucket. The
onlookers then gasped with amaze
ment as they saw the purchaser count
out one hundred and fifty dollars as
the price of his two-ounce fish.
AS a matter of fact, the price was
nothing unusual The gold fish has
recently been taken up by fanciers
all over the United States. and his
popularity and his value are growing
rapidly. There are plenty of gold
fish in the country worth more than
their weight in gold, and some of the
prizewinners in fish shows are valued
at $500 each. The growth of the fad
may be gauged from the fact that the
American Federation of Gold Fish
Fanciers, which was organized in
1918, now literally covers the country
with its local organizations. This or
ganization distributes literature on the

care of gold fish, and otherwise does
everything that it can for their inn
provement and propagation.
The variations of form and color
that scientific breeding has produced
in the gold fish are startling, and al
most incredible. No other animal has
ever been so swiftly and completely
changed by mans control of the prin-
cipleS of selective reproduction. Gold
fish are really of very plebeian origin
being near relations of the carp. AT
first they were distinguished only by
their brilliant red color. Now their
tails and fins have been developed to
extraordinary proportions. Lace tails
fringe tails and ribbon tails are among
the varieties judged separately at the
shows. Their heads and bodies have
been strangely distorted, the "tele-
scope" eye which projects sometimes
half an inch from the head being the
most striking variety
The Japanese deserve credit for
some of the most unusual effects In
gold fish. They have produced one
variety whose immense tail and bril-
liant coloring gives him the appear
ance of a sort of aquatic butterfly
To the brilliant red from which the
fish derives its name, the Japanese
have added blue, purple. yellow, and
mottled fish. The so-called "calico
fish" is just now a favorite with

WE NEED ONE, TOO

NF all the cities that dot the Penn
sylvania Railroad system none
is more interested in the an
nouncement of the great hotel which
is to be built in New York City by the
"Pennsy' than Harrisburg.
For several years we have been
waiting for the philanthropist or cap
italist who will give this city the kind
of hotel which it so greatly needs
Now comes the Pennsylvania with its
plans for a building twenty stories
high and with 2,2OO rooms for the me-
tropolis of the country. 1t will cost
$12,000,000 and the Pennsylvania
Railroad is going to be the owner and
builder.
Maybe the day will come when the
same great system will mark the capt.
tails of the States through which IL
passes with similar hotels. Let us
hope that Harrisburg will be the next
after New York.

Deadlock Over Army Bill

1t is hard to see how the most
mealy- milk-and-water paci-
fist can object to the provisions of the
Senate's Army bill, which are meagre
enough in all conscience. Yet the
conference committees have come to
a deadlock. the Republican House
members alone siding with the Senate
in favor of its increase of the army.
According to Washington reports,
the House members object to more
than 100000 men for the standing
army, and want to eliminate the pro-
vision for the volunteer army. Are
our Congressman crazy that they can
not see what is going on in Mexico =?
We have practically exhausted all our
resources on a little raid and have not
succeeded in our object. 1t is not
improbable that Wilson's muddling of
the Mexican situation will eventually
plunge us into war with that coun-
try. Yet Mexico is the smallest OF
our dangers.
A good provision of the Senate bill
is that it enlists men for five years,
only two of which are to be with the
colors. If this is retained in the Army
bill there ought to be rush for en-
listment. At present recruiting is
slow, even for the 10000 already au-
thorized to the regular establishment.
Only 5,417 men have been enlisted in
forty-four days, although about $4,000
applications have been made. At
present there is an unprecedented de-
mand for labor and it is not surpris-
ing that the best young men refuse
to leave good wages, but If they knew
that they could retire in two years
and be paid for three more while on
call for the national defense, there
would be more applications.
Anything less than the Senate's es-
innate for preparedness would be
farcical. This is not now question
Eof militarism, but merely of a small
police force. Real preparedness must
come when Congress is led by men
of intelligence and enlarged public
spirit

THE ROTARY CLUBS QUIZ

COME time ago when Allen d.
= Albert, the civic expert, spoke in
Harrisburg he asked the mem
bers OF the Chamber of Commerce
and the Rotary club some very en-
barassing questions concerning the
operations of the local government.
The questions were simple and upon
their accurate replies depended an
intelligent understanding of the
various activities in which the city is
engaged. the cost to the taxpayers and
how Harrisburg compares with mu-
inequalities elsewhere. But a surpris-
ingly small number of correct replies
were forthcoming and Mr.. Albert sug-
gested that such wholesale ignorance
of civic matters was not conducive
either TO good government or civic
progress.
So the Rotary Club took the lesson
to itself and last evening, under the
direction of President Arthur D.
Bacon, and with the assistance of

Miss Jones looked as though she

RIOT VS.. ARBITRATION

TINE prompt settlement of the
i Pittsburgh street car strike by
arbitration and the acceptance by
both sides of compromise afford. a
sharp contrast to the riotous scenes
attending labor disputes in Allegheny
county yesterday. The difference is
largely that the street car men are
Americans of temperate habits and
that the mill men are Ignorant for
eigners in the throes of liquor" as the
press dispatches put it. Ignorance in
famed by whisky and anarchistic agi-
tators has been responsible for every
riot call to which the State troops have
responded in the past twenty-five
years, and the people at large have
paid the cost in blood and money.
In the present instance two appar-
emily innocent men have been killed,
many rioters and officers wounded and
much property destroyed. 1t is to
prevent renewal of these disorders,
to protect lives and property, that the
Guard has been called into the strike
zone. The Guard is not there in the
behalf of either employers or strikers,
but to maintain law and order. It will
not attempt to coerce a single striker.
IT has no interest in the questions at
issue. So long as the strikers conduct
themselves like peaceable citizens they
have nothing to fear, and the soldiers
will be as ready to defend them against
injury, should the occasion demand, as
to interfere to prevent strikers from
repeating the outrages of yesterday.
Orderly strikers will welcome the
troops, knowing that nothing is ever
gained in the way of popular sympathy
by rioting and bloodshed.
Had the Legislature passed any one
of the numerous bills presented in re-
cent years for the enlargement of the
force OF State constabulary. yesterdays
trouble easily might have been averted.
The strikes in Allegheny county found
all of the State police at Wilkes-Barre
and unable to leave. An additional
force of trained officers at Pittsburgh
would have been much better equipped
to handle the situation than the always
provocative and ofttimes dangerous,
hastily deputized and privately paid
constables who in many similar in
stances have been as ready as the
strikers themselves to start a fight.
As a result of this failure of the Legis-
lature to provide an adequate force for
such a situation as has arisen the
people must pay the enormous ex-
pense of maintaining the National
Guard in the field until all danger of
further disorder is past. 1t is a pretty
: price.
AS an arm Of the police, the Guard
always has acquitted itself with honor.
1t has upheld the law and preserved
the peace wherever 1t has gone, and in
all the strike duty to which it has been
detailed in the many years of its ex-
perience it has never been responsible
for the death of one striker. The man
ner in which the Governors Troop was
modified and started on its way last
night is a testimonial to its efficiency
and discipline, two factors which count
for much in situation such as it now
faces.
