NO BRANCH" CAPITOL

CT1LL harping upon a Branch"
y Capitol in Philadelphia a COM
mission appointed at the con-
clusion of the last session of the
Legislature to consider this matter
will have another meeting next week
to which prominent Philadelphians
will be summoned to testify regarding
the need of such a building.
This is wholly and solely a Phila-
delphia proposition and is the out
growth of a joke at the last session
OF the Legislature, when a resolution
was introduced in the Senate pro-
viding for the creation of a commits
sion to consider the advisability of
erecting in Philadelphia a building to
house all the State departments hav-
Ing offices in that city, including the
Supreme and Superior courts. 1t was
never intended that this resolution
should be taken seriously; as a mat
ter OF fact it was a practical joke
engineered by several newspaper
men. But like many another Joke II
was taken seriously in several quar-
ters and resulted in the appointment
of a commission which has had sew
eral serious sessions to consider the
problem
Nobody believes that the State
Legislature will provide for a
Branch" Capitol anywhere. If such
an institution were established in
Philadelphia, then why not at Pitts
burgh. Scranton, Erie, Williamsport
and elsewhere throughout the State
wherever a division or bureau of the
State government happens to be
located.
Nobody, will object to State bureaus
located in Philadelphia being concen-
trated in one building for the con-
venience of those having business
with them, but it ought to be possible
to concentrate such divisions without
the pretense of a Capitol adjunct in
the way of building.
So far as the Supreme Court is
concerned, the time is coming and is
not far away when that body will be
required to have permanent sittings
here at the seat of government. There
may have been a reason for the meet
ing of the higher court in Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh in former years,
but with quick transportation facilities
now and ample and even luxurious
quarters in the new Capitol there
would appear to be no justification
whatever for provision for sittings in
Philadelphia or elsewhere outside of
Harrisburg.
OF course. one of the reasons here
tofore for the location of bureaus and
departments outside of Harrisburg
has been the lack of adequate hotel
facilities in this city. But that is no
longer a justification since definite
and final steps have been taken for
the erection here of the splen-
did million dollar Penn Harris
Hotel.
So far as this newspaper is con-
cerned it has always advocated the
broadest and most generous treat
ment of all questions affecting the port

facilitate the work of the election

returns.

was 1889. while President Wilson
exceeded the vote cast for himself

sixty per cent. less than that cast in
1912, while the Prohibition presiden-
ttal vote increased from 1902 in 1912
to 2052 this year.

he stands in the lineup. Richard

cause of this the Brumbaugh leaders

Schwab, the dreamer of great things
industrially, is also the dreamer of
great and beautiful city where the
men who labor in the great mills of
Bethlehem may live happily and con-
tentedly amid all the surroundings
that model city of the twentieth CEN
tury can give it's people That he has
made his dream come true in the
gigantic steel projects that now op-
crate under the name of Bethlehem
augurs well for the realization of his
vision for the development of the two
towns.
Would that there were more Schwabs
men to whom money and the pres
tige which goes with its acquisition
mean no more than opportunity to
widen their sphere of usefulness, to
be of greater service to their fellows
and to the communities in which they
live. We need some such right here
in Harrisburg, where the money!
boarding habit has been a serious set
back to the progress of the city. In
Harrisburg what has been done by way
of civic betterment has been largely at
the hands of those least able in a.
financial way to bear the burden of
such service.
incidentally, is it too much to hone
that some day Mr.. Schwab will turn
his attention to the union of Harris
burg and Steelton, to make a city sec
ond in importance to very few in
| Pennsylvania?
