CANADA INCREASING SALES

CANADA INCREASING SALES
NOMPARING the nine months
~ ended September, 1916, with the
same period for 1915, it is found
that Canada increased her hold on the
American masket in this brief period
35 per cent, or from $4,000. 900 to
s161 100000. The 1915 period records
an increase of $50, 900, 900 over a SINH
lar period in 1913, under the Repub-
lcan tariff law. farm products and fish
accounting for the bulk of the in
crease.
Naturally our exports to Canada
have increased. but this is due mainly
to the acquisitions she has made on us
for war supplies. No one expects them
to keep up indefinitely but the rapidity
with which Canada is hurting her
goods into our market shows the ne
cessity for a speedy return to the
policy of protection If we have any
sympathy for the American farmer
and fisherman.
No Canadian, however blinded nv
MS love for gain, could frame an
effective argument as to why the
United States should be Obliged to nav
the high Canadian tariff to get its
goods into the Canadian market and
at the same time open wide the gates
TO the free distribution of Canadian
products in the American market.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THANKSGIVING PERFORMANCE
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Much comment is being passed
about in our city of the kind of show
that is brought here for our apprecia-
ton, as is the one the local MANAGE
ment has procured for the National
holiday, Thanksgiving.
AS we realize that it is to our ad-
vantage to live in a city as we have,
1t Is only a course of our duty to it,
to remain here on the day of thanks,
and be in position to give thanks to
all that are concerned In the manage
ment of our public affairs; and like
wise with all due respect to our man
ayers of public places of amusement,
I do believe that it is a means of CIV
ing thanks by them to book a show
of such a caliber that will be ap-
preciated by the citizens of Harris
burg that have been their loyal pat
rons In the past, instead of making
1t necessary for them to go elsewhere.
From the foregoing statement 1t is
plainly seen that the objections to the
show that is booked for the National
holiday. Thanksgiving are in a large
majority: ] would humbly appeal to
the local management to endeavor to
make change in the program in
order that we may complete our day
of thanks with the viewing of the
caliber of show that can be fully ap-
preciated as a Thanksgiving offering.

looms and of the IT towns have an
aggregate of IL saloons. Delaware
has only 200 saloons in the entire
state and statewide prohibition is q
near possibility. Two years ago Cali
fornia gave a wet majority of ITO, 900.
This year that majority was reduced to
$4,000. Seventeen of the 23 counties
of Maryland have voted dry and Mary
land is approaching the state wide pro-
hibition class. One hundred and six
counties out of 120 in Kentucky are
dry and more than 80 per cent. of her
population live in dry territory.
In Indiana the dry forces won a
notable victory. Two United States
senators who are wet have been re-
tired and dry men elected in their
places. Ten wet congressman were
defeated and ten dry congressman
elected to replace them. A dry gov
ernor was elected by strong majority.
Pennsylvania, the supposedly i'm
pregnable Gibraltar of Liquordom, is
feeling the effect of the temperance
agitation. Five years ago $4,000 of
her people lived in dry territory; to-
day l, 100000 are in no-license coun-
ties In 1911 there were 700 square
miles of dry territory; to-day there
are 12,300 squares miles of dry terri
tory. From 2 counties in 1911, II
counties are dry in 1916.
If a resolution to amend the Con-
stitution should pass Congress it seems
almost certain that Al states would
ratify such an amendment within two
years. In 1914 when the constitutional
amendment resolution was before Con-
gress only 9 states had voted dry, and
in number of these the laws had not
yet gone into effect. The measure will
be presented to our present Congress
with the pressure furnished by 27
states that are practically dry and 10
more that are on the verge of taking
the step. More people have already
petitioned Congress for the passage of
this resolution than for all other
amendments combined. In 1914 the
congressional delegation from the
state of Indiana voted solidly against
the resolution. On November z, 1916,
this delegation was sent to the scrap
heap and a delegation of 10 mem bers
committed to the support of the reso-
fution was elected in their places.
Should this resolution pass the pres
ent session of Congress or the one fol-
lowing. a saloorless nation in 1920
bids fair to become a reality.

FOOTBALL
THANKsGIv1NG will witness

THANKSGIVING will witness the
ringing down of the curtain on
the 1915 football season, and the
sport-loving American populace will
turn its attention to other matters.
1t was season in which the
"dopesters" did not have it all their
own way. A number of surprises
upset calculations and overturned the
betting contingent. and all the big
teams suffered at least one decisive
defeat, except Brown.
Last Saturday marked the surging
of the tide of interest in football to
the high water mark, when 10000
people. more or less, crowded two
separate stadiums within seventy
miles of each other and either cheered
themselves hoarse with deIirious iov,
as In the case of the Yale rooters. or
accepted with equanimity the ap-
parent inevitable as did the Oliphant-
harassed Navy supporters.

The outbreak of war over the
speakership of the next House will
probably result in the postponement of
appointment of any one to the vacancy
on the Public Service Commission and
the various other places which are in
the gift of the Governor. 1t had been
expected that the commissionership
would be filled by Thanksgiving Day.
but there has been another sudden
change of plans and the places will
be held open for a while. 1t is said
that the managership of the State In
surance Fund will also be held open.
One of the men who would be willing
to take it is Paul N. Furman, who is
looking after details of the speaker
ship fight on behalf of the State ad-
ministration. Mr.. Furman was in
charge of headquarters work for the
Governors presidential campaign
and has been busy as a mailer for the
last week on the speakership contest.
The administration forces are
commencing to get busy on people in
the departments to line up members
from their home districts and it is
probable that there will be some lively
times about the Capitol as the anti
Baldwin people are the same as those
who went down to disaster in the
Presidential primaries and since that
time there have been q good many ex-
pressions of regret that they did not
use the places in their gift to help In
the fight.

Nor dull, but 1 can hear Thy Great

HiRDSCRABBIE

NW1NG to the illness of City So
licitor Seitz certain legal matters
affecting the Hardscrabble con-
demnation proceedings are in statu
quo, but these are not of such a charac-
ter as to seriously delay the final clear
ance of the district in question. There
is nothing to prevent the filing of the
bonds of the city to protect the in
terests of property owners not satisfied
with the awards and begin the removal
of the properties on the river front
between Herr and Calder streets.
This improvement is accepted
throughout the city as one which
should have been made long ago, and
while the rights of all the property
owners must be conserved at every
step it does not follow that there is
anything in the situation which would
justify unreasonable delay on the part
of the city
Our unrivaled river front is an asset
of which every citizen is proud and the
stranger within our gates always goes
away from Harrisburg with feeling
that there are few cities so blessed in
the matter of picturesque environment.
Everywhere there is the thought that
the river frontage constitutes the best
feature of the citys esthetic values.
Landscape architects distinguished
throughout the world have been here
and these have told of the splendid
treatment of the city's river line.
All that is now needed to complete
this work is the proper protection of
the embankment on both sides of the
Susquehanna basin. Especially must
attention be given to the slope in the
newer sections OF the city. This is
one of the things that ought to have
been looked after during the late sum-
mer, but whatever the excuse for
: failure to do. so, it is certain to be
demanded by the people with the
opening of next Spring.

These states contained one-twelfth of
the area of the entire United States
and equal to almost eight times the
area of the state of Pennsylvania.
There are 2,543 counties in the
United States. Through local option
or state-wide prohibition 2,O47 of these
counties were dry before November Z,
1915. On November 191 counties
were added to this list, leaving only
$50 wet counties in the entire nation.
The liquor forces of the country are
welcome to whatever comfort that
may bring them.
Michigan voted dry by $4,000 ma
jority. Grand Rapids with popu-
lation of 10000 in 1910 voted dry
with 5000 majority. Detroit with
nearly 100000 inhabitants voted
even. Montana went dry by 10000
majority. Every city in the state ex-
cept Butte gave majority in favor of
prohibition. South Dakota went dry
by $4,000. Not one city in the entire
state voted wet. Nebraska closed her
saloons with $4,000 majority. Utah
elected a governor and legislature
pledged to the immediate enactment
of statutory prohibition as soon as the
legislature convenes. Florida elected
a governor and legislature committed
to the same proposition. 1t is more
than a possibility that Wyoming will
take similar steps as soon as the legis-
lature convenes. Two years ago Seattle
voted wet by 5000 majority. On No
vember it voted dry by 10000 when
an attempt was made to weaken the
prohibition law. In Oregon an attempt
to vitiate the prohibition law was de-
feated by over 10000.
In one single day ia breweries were
voted out of business; 6,52S saloons
followed suit. The progress by years
of the prohibition cause is indicated in
the following table: Maine, 1851;
Kansas, 1880; North Dakota, 1889;
Georgia, 1907: Oklahoma, 1907; Mis-
sissippi, 1908; North Carolina, 1908;
Virginia, 1914; Colorado, 1914; Ore
gon, 1914; Washington, 1914; Arizona,
1914; Alabama, 1915; Arkansas, 1915;
Iowa, 1915; Idaho, 1915: South Caro-
lima, 1915; Michigan, 1916; Montana,
1915; Nebraska, 1916; South Dakota,
1915. To these should be added
Florida, Utah and Wyoming. This
statewide prohibition before three
fourths. the number necessary to
ratify the amendment to the Consti-
tuition, of all of the states are dry. The
situation in these ten states is as
follows:
Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,
Texas, New Mexico and Delaware are
practically ready to adopt statewide
prohibition.
In New Hampshire licenses can be
granted only after an affirmative vote
in each town is taken. This vote Is
taken every two years. In 1910 203
towns voted against licenses, 21 towns
voted for licenses. The majority of
the state against licenses was 1868.
In Vermont similar law prevails.
Seventeen of the GAG towns have sa-
