 Two carloads of anarchists came to the Queens county jail yesterday morning to greet their leader upon her discharge. She was sped to her apart ment, where 150 te1egrams of congrat- u1ation awaited her upon the break fast table. Some congratulated her for getting into jail, others for getting out.

to operate against reasonable and nee
essary action in Harrisburg. A prop
er commission never does drastic
things; it uses tact and Judgment and
knowledge of trees and tree planting
in getting the best results.
In the New Jersey communities
where there has been great success
in planting and care of trees, the dom
mating tree on an existing street is the
standard for that street. These trees
are carefully trimmed and the street
is thus given a delightful appearance OF
uniformity throughout. Pennsylvania
has been slow in taking up the care OF
trees, especially in it's cities. just as
ii has been slow in its highway i'm
provement.
We believe that the present City
Council will see the Importance OF
doing something without delay to pro-
vide for the protection and care of the
shade trees we have and increase the
number wherever possible.

With the Saloon Banished
kansas City Times.


The liquor interests, fighting to de-
feat prohibition in different Western
States, are issuing misstatements
about what prohibition has done in
States where it has been tried. They
say it has increased drunkenness and
crime in Arizona. Here are some facts
quoted by the Arizona Republican,
about Arizona, which banished its sa-
looms January 1, 1915, nearly two
years ago:
In 1914. with open saloons. there
were 4,750 arrests in Phoenix. In 1915,
with saloons gone, there were 1880.
In 1914 there were 2,674 arrests for
drunkenness; in 1915 there were 224.
In the two years since prohibition
the number of inmates of the State
penitentiary has decreased so per
cent.
There were thirty murders in the
State in the last six months of sa-
| looms. In the nearly two years unde
prohibition the State has had only six
] murders.
In the last six months of saloons
there were seventeen murders in Pinal
county. In the first six months with
out saloons Pinal county had not even
one murder.
On the first Saturday night after the
| saloons closed in Phoenix all the hak-
cries ran out of bread and cake, and
the meat markets ran out of meat
| Drunkards' children were getting
more bread and cake and meat.
A mother of six children in Bisbee
in paying for $50 worth of groceries
and dry goods, said: "This is the first
time "since we We're married that the
children have had the clothes they
needed and our bills were all paid. -
Well fed. we'll clothed, happy
mothers and children are unanswer-
able arguments against the saloon.

WE NEED THE TREES

n S a result of the tree census just
"A completed by City Forester
Gipple there is now opportunity
for intelligent tree planting through
out Harrisburg. Not a day should be
lost in preparing for the placing of
hundreds of shade trees of the right
variety.
Some years ago the question of the
creation of a Shade Tree Commission
was considered, but owing to opposi-
ton the matter was dropped and in
stead the Office of city forester was
created. This young man has proba-
bly, accomplished all that is to be
expected with the insignificant appro-
priation set apart for his bureau, but
his work has established a basis for
future tree planting activities.
While there is opposition to a sepa-
rate shade tree commission there
would appear to be no objection to a
further subdivision of the response
bilities of the City Council. Three of
the existing commissioners could easily
be constituted by ordinance q Shade
friction in the care of trees within the
city limits. At least, this method
might be tried as a further experi-
ment in the absence of a separate
shade tree commission as provided for
in the act of May 81. 1907.
1t ought now to be apparent to those
who opposed such a commission when
the proposition was first broached in
Council that something must be done
to save the trees we already have and
provide others we so seriously need
AS one lover of trees has properly
said, other cities and towns and com
munities are getting along peacefully
and comfortably in their shade tree
activities while we are scrapping about
nonessential details.
Forester Gipple's report upon the
existing trees shows that they are al
most universally In bad condition
that they are diseased, planted indis-
criminately and without regard to va
riety or size, and that there is great
necessity for trimming and placing in
proper condition those that have with
stood the operations of the tree butch
ers and other despoilers who have
done their utmost to destroy the tree
life of the city.

HOTELS WILL ADVERTISE
IN EASTERN PAPERS

Leading hotels of the Northwest are
planning an advertising campaign to
bring a share of the tourist travel to
that region, according to r. D. Rock
well, of Seattle, secretary of the
Washington State Hotel Association.
The plan, as outlined by Mr.. Rock
well, is to advertise in the metropoli-
tan papers of the East and South, be-
ginning about March 1 and continu-
ing until the middle of the vacation
season. The advertisements will set
forth the hunting and fishing possi-
bilities of the Northwest, and describe
the scenic beauties as we'll as give in
formation as to routes of travel, acces-
sibility of places of interest, and condi-
ton of the roads. The leading hotels
of the Northwest, which foster the
plan, will publish rates and character
of service.

SCATTERING BREAD

NNE of the most interesting fca-
lures of the Chamber of Com
merce membership campaign
now in full swing and one of its
most important phases = is the per-
sonal service being rendered by the
100 men of the city who are doing the
soliciting. 1t is an encouraging sign
in any town when men leave their
own business for practically four
successive days to work together for
what they believe to be the benefit
of the city as a whole. All of them
are busy men. Their desks are
crowded with work. They have a
task for every hour. Many of them
are working nights to keep abreast.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-10-05

But they are, nevertheless, going
about the membership canvass with
all the energy and enthusiasm that
have made them successful in their
several lines of individual endeavor.
These men of the membership COM
mittee are making personal sacri-
flee. Little worth while ever has been
accomplished without that element.
Where 1t is manifest in the form of
social service to the greatest degree
there community progress is most
rapid. Those who give thus of their
time and brains and energy have
their reward. however Every worthy
gift or sacrifice has. They are as
those who scatter their bread upon
the waters"

They have to be impressed into that
