Alarm in the Liquor Trade
New York SUM-


1t is apparent that the successes of
the prohibition movement in widely
separated States cannot be adequately
accounted for on the ground of local
conditions. While the Southern States
were outlawing the saloon it was
easy to point to the negro and say
that his weakness must be guarded
against. But Missouri defeated pro-
hibition at the last election, while
Michigan, Montana. Nebraska and South
Dakota adopted it. Bonfort's Wine and
Spirit Circular does not attempt to
conceal the .uneasiness intelligent men
in the liquor industry feel over the
outlook:
"It is well known that prohibition
laws are ineffective and create condi-
tions in many instances far worse than
even badly conducted saloons, and we
hold no brief for the indecent drink
ing emporiums; but something is radi-
cally wrong and we are searching for
the cause, because we believe that the
liquor industry of the United States is
facing a crisis which may not prove
fatal IL the proper remedies are ap-
piled without delay.
I'VE have lost much ground. We
must not lose any more or we shall
be dangerously near national prohibit
tion, and that means the destruction
Oh our NdSt IN dl OF 1LS
branches. 1t means confiscation of capi-
tai and property. 1t means pauperism
DOR hundreds of thousands of men
and women who now make their liveli-
hod out of the employment given them
by the liquor industry.
"All these arguments have been used
with no avail. The people continue to
outlaw our business In one State after
another"
This authority believes the whole
trade should organize, not merely to
prosecute its defense in the way 1t
has been conducted heretofore. but to
examine the record, disclose the errors
that have been made and adopt new
methods for protection. 1t believes the
industry may save itself. but it rec
ognizes that it must work hard in or
der to do 1t.

them to the realization that the
world is not against them.
THE fact that Missouri is the first
State to undertake the work makes it
doubly important that there be no
failure here
'The legislators are asked to do
their part by adopting laws as sug-
gested by the commission. These
recommendation will be made only
after an exhaustive research has
been made, and it is evidenced that
they are the best possible.
There already are number of
things that will be suggested to the
coming Legislature. If the sugges-
ions are adopted it will mean so
dren.
Every county will have a chill
dren's court to- which all children who
break the law will be brought. No
child will be left in a common Jail
with adults, and no destitute child will
be confined in State reformatories
with delinquents. Boys under 1S no
longer will be committed to the peni-
tentfary, and adults responsible for
the delinquency of a child will be dealt
with by the same tribunal that dis
poses of the child's case.
Care of Feeblc-Nindcd
Additional provisions will be
made for the care of the feeble mind
ed. At present there is one institu-
tion in the State with a capacity of
700 inmates. The institution is filled,
and has a waiting list of 500.
The education of the blind. the
deaf, the feeble-minded and the epi-
leptic will be placed under the State
department of education. These insti-
tutions now are under the direct
charge of the heads of the separate
organizations with no means of in
spection."
Changes in the wording and man
ner of enforcement of Missouri's child
labor laws also are contemplated, and
an inspection of factories in all towns
and cities will be possible.
Boys under Fl will not be permitted
to engage in night messenger service,
and girls under IS will not be per-
mitted to engage in street trade.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Appeal For Christmas Gifts
D the Editor of the Telegraph /:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The late DR.. Booker T. Washington
founder of the Tuskegee Institute, year
by year, appealed to generous friends foI
Christmas remembrances of one kind
and another to be distributed through
him to the colored children of the South
who, without such Christmas remem-
brances. would have nothing to re-
mind them of the Christmas season
Floods, the boil weevil. and Industrial
conditions generally among the negro
farming classes have brought about a
rather depressing state of affairs. Many
people are in actual distress and want
while in hundreds and thousands OF
homes there will be little to indicate
that Christmas is a time OF joy and
blessing. Anything whatsoever. no mat
ter how inexpensive, will brighten a
situation otherwise largely unrelieved
by any cheering ray.
l shall be glad to serve as did DR.
Washington, that is, to act as the in
termediary through whom the public
may transmit their gifts to these chill
dren, and to take pains to see that they
reach those who are worthy, distribut-
ing them over as wide a section as the
South as possible. through Tuskegee
offshoot schools, graduates, former stu
dents, Jeanes Fund workers, etc.

AN END TO PATIENCE

HNCE more the Republican party
of Pennsylvania is in a stew over
the eternal controversy between
Philadelphia leaders. But the inter-
est of the party at large in this State
in the fortunes of these particular
leaders is not nearly so great as the
aforesaid leaders imagine. They are
making SO much noise in their own
little corner that it is quite natural
that they should be deceived as to the
echoes of the row in other parts of the
Commonwealth.
Should they examine closely the
results beyond the confluence of the
Delaware and Schuylkill rivers they
doubtless would discover that general
dissatisfaction and disgust character
lie the attitude of Republicans be-
yond Philadelphia county limits. If
these so-called leaders insist upon
ripping open the party every few
months for their own peculiar pur-
poses then they should be allowed to
have the field all to themselves with
out any aid or comfort from the party
in the State.
OF course, the Democrats are
chuckling over the situation. Why
shouldn't they? When foolish Re-
publicans set about paving the way
for Democratic successes hereafter II
is unreasonable to expect Democrats
to conceal their satisfaction. They
have a right to chuckle and should
the pickering in Philadelphia open
the way for a Democratic successor
to Governor Brumbaugh the RESPONSE
bility for that result should be placed
precisely where it belongs and no.
where else.
1t is trying, indeed, for those Re-
publicans who believe in harmony of
action and efficient management of
the party's affairs to be constantly
drawn into the internal rows which
have characterized the PHILADELPHIA
wing of the party for several years.
There is an end of patience in all
things and the Philadelphia factions
are forcing the limit, so far as the
party in the rest of the State is con-
cerned.

This, briefly, is the two fields OF
activity in life that Mrs. NJ. Lowen-
stein had to choose between.
She chose the latter and is inn
mensely pleased with her decision.
Soon after being left a widow she

School of Social Economy to perfect
herself for work in her chosen field
She is executive secretary of the chill

pare a code of State laws that will
govern with a kindly and sympathetic
interest the lives and destinies OF
destitute children, delinquent, the
blind, the deaf, feeble minded, in
sane and others of the less fortunate
members of the human family.
There are laws now on the statute
books of this State that would solve
SOME of the many problems except
for the fact that there is no provision
made for their enforcement" Mrs

and wide and nothing should be per-
mitted to change this good opinion
during the present winter.
While the permanent treatment of
the slope has been neglected for sew
eral months without reason or excuse,
may we not ask in the name of the
community that Park Commissioned
Gross at least put a few men to work
cleaning the granolithic walk from
one end of the city to the other of the
deposits of dirt and stones which
have been permitted to accumulate for
several months. Surely the city has q
right to expect that it's officials pro-
tect the good name of Harrisburg.

n SPEEDING automobile, a cry of
1 a horror, toddling footsteps, \
thud on the asphalt, small still
body!
That will be the story to appear in
the local papers one of these days if
the Harrisburg police force continues
to allow the intolerable speeding
along the River Front by men and
boys craZed with the exhilaration of
express train velocity.
Sunday afternoons are no different
from any other day for these speed
manlacs. The heavy automobile
traffic between the city and Rockville
on a Sabbath afternoon makes doublv
dangerous any excess of speed. and
the life of pedestrian along the river
on such days is nothing short of mis-
cradle. A large dog miraculousIv
escaped death under the wheels of a
machine passing Front and MacIav
streets at an accredited speed of thirty
to thirty-five miles at the most nonuIar p
hour of the afternoon Sunday and
IL was only by the gentle grace of
providence that a motorcyclist was
not struck instead.
A lew arrests, followed by several
stin sentences, are evidently necessary
to abolish the free license which now
goes untrammeled to the danger of
life and limb. Perhaps with the in
crease Of the police force several men
could be spared to put an end to the
speeding.

CITY EXPENDITURES

n the proposition of Mayor Meals
n to utilize the surplus funds of
the Water Department for pay
ment of the light bill of the city is
more closely studied the suggestion
is generally approved. At first there
was some doubt as to whether this
could be legally done, but it is said
now in view of the fact that the water
debt of Harrisburg has been extin-
guished there is no reason in law or
good sense for increase in taxation
which can be avoided through the
use of funds not needed by the de-
partment whence the revenue Is
derived.
Harrisburg is in good financial con-
dition and there is no reason to get
into a hysterical state of mind every
time some unusual expenditure is sug-
gested. No city anywhere has done
so much with so little real burden
upon it's people. All that is required
is careful consideration of the needs
of the municipality and wise pro-
vision for the administration of the
several departments. In the making
up of the annual budget care doubt
less will be taken to cover the several
matters which require particular at
tention, especially the maintenance of
the paved streets, the proper care of
the parks and the River Front and
the other matters which call for wise
and efficient management.
