ONE OF THE CITY's ASSETS

NITY COMMISSIONER GROSS has
" lively appreciation of the i'm
portance of the river front as
an asset of this city. Harrisburg is
being talked about in all parts of the
country because visitors and the
thousands who pass in and out of the
city on trains have seen the wonder
full treatment now known here and
elsewhere as the Front Steps of Har-
risburg." Mr.. Gross and his asso-
ciates of the City Council realize
more than ever before how necessary
1t is to permanently protect the ter
race between the top of the embank-
ment and the granolithic walk at the
bottom.
Farley Gannett, the well known con-
sulting engineer, has generously plac-
ed his services at the call of the De-
partment of Parks and plans are
now being worked out which will pre-
vent further serious damage from high
water and the washing away of the
embankment.
It ought not to be a difficult mat
nGlEnI
of the average flood stage of the riv-
er, providing at the same time soil
pots for the planting of matrimonv
vines and other shrubbery which will
eventually cover the stone riprap-
ping. Even now the planting of
shrubbery at the top of the slope and
along the upper walk will have a
tendency to hold the ground and pre-
vent the washing of the summer
showers.
or course, with the receding of the
high water the granolithic walk and
steps will be washed and the stones
now lying along the embankment
placed where they will not furnish
an invitation to the mischievous bows
to lombard the steps.
There is still much to be done be-
tween the Walnut and Market street
bridges and in the proper planting of

MUNICIPAL DANCING

TNHAT municipal dancing is a
| L popular innovation in Harris
burg was shown by the huge
crowd that took advantage of the op-
portunity offered last evening to try
out Front street between Boas and
Forster as a dance floor. The sugges-
tion has been made, however, that in
the future the band be located some
what nearer the dancing. And like
wise, while we are in the suggesting
mood, wouldn't it be wiser to hold the
next dance in Forster street, for in
stance, so that the main driveway of
the city might not be blocked? The
only disadvantage would be in the
seating facilities, but it was observed
that after the music started last eve
ning there was very little sitting.
There is much reason for the belief
that the municipal dances are a
wholesome influence in the community.
as compared with unregulated public
dances and 1t is safe to assume that
with the growth of their popularity
in Harrisburg, way will be found to
hold them in a somewhat less crowded
section, as for instance, Reservoir
Park. The surroundings and atmos-
phere there are undoubtedly more
conducive to the enjoyment of dancers
and audience alike.
There are those who may object to
dancing per Sc, and these will frown
upon municipal dances, but those who
know that young people will dance
doubtless will approve of surround
ing the dancers with all the protection
and good influences city regulation in
sures

You looked like the soldiers that you

Mid the cheers OF thousands who lined

And the strains of martial air.
The chances are that it won't be long
Til you're sent to Mexico.
And we know youl acquit in a man.

Sy the Ex-Committeeman

Senator Penrose returned to Phila-
delphia yesterday from New York,
where he had been in consultation
with fellow-members of the Republi-
can National Committee regarding the
plan of campaign for the Hughes and
Fairbanks ticket.
AS member of the committee ap-
pointed by Senator Warren G. Hard
ing, chairman of the national conven-
ton, to confer with the candidate for
President, Senator Penrose met for
raer Justice Hughes and expects to
have further conferences with him
and candidate for Vice. President
Fairbanks.
The chairman of the National Com
mittee, who, it is expected, will be ac-
ceptable to the progressive element in
the party, will be chosen next week.
Those of us who have been talk
ms over the situation in New York, I"
said Senator Penrose last night. ARE
agreed that the prospects of Republi-
can success in the national contest
are very gratifying.
There are evidences on every hand
OF the most potential men in the Pro-
gressive Party movement of four
years ago returning to the Republican
Party and showing an eagerness to
can national ticket.
Reports from every section of the
country are of the most satisfactory
character"
Senator Penrose took an automo-
bile trip up the State to-day to visit
friends, and to return to New York
on Monday.
The Progressive National Commit
tee will meet in Chicago next Wed
nesday, when it is expected that a let
ter from Colonel Roosevelt will be
read urging support of Hughes for
President.
Congressman William S. Ware and
Attorney General Francis Skunk
Brown went to New York yesterday
and also conferred with Mr.. Hughes,
relative to the political situation in
Pennsylvania. Mayor Smith, of Phila-
delphia, was to have participated in
the conference also, but was detained
because of the departure of the First
Brigade for Mt. Gretna. Another con-
ference with the Republican nominee
was arranged for next week. at which
Mayor Smith will be present along with
Congressman Ware and the Attorney
General. The meeting yesterday is
believed to have been held largely for
the purpose of discussing the selection
of Republican Presidential electors
from Pennsylvania. These electors
must be chosen 80 days after the con-
vention. No move has been made so
far in the selection of the electors,
but it is expected that some action will
be taken following the conference
next week. 1t is probable that Mr.
Hughes sought to bring about truce
between the warning factions in Penn
sylvania over the selection of electors
