A Moonshine Wish

tFrom Harper's MagazineI
The concentration of troops in Ha-
wall had brought together again some
old comrades of Indian frontier DAYS
and one of the good wives insisted upon
gathering them at her table to talk OF
Aud Lang Syne. They had been talk
ing of comrades splendid services
and advancement up the ladder OF
fame. All knew he was superstitious
and never hesitated 10 stake all on
one chance II he could see the new
moon over his right shoulder. The
hostess summoned one of her guests to
the lawn to try his luck, and said:
"You must hold this silver dollar in
your left hand. look at the new moon
over your right shoulder, make O wish,
and 1t will come true"
The thing was very quickly done, and
they rejoined the party. Later the host
ess asked IL the wish had been made,
and upon being informed that 1t had.
she remarked:
where is my silver dollar?"
"Oh" replied the guest, IT wished
that might keep the silver dollar, and
It came true"

Effect of Tariff

TT. f. Logan in American Economist ]
1t is important, therefore, to study
the effect of the Underwood Tariff dur
ing the ten months it was in oper-
alton entirely free from the influence
Of the war in Europe. During that
period our imports increased S101,977,-
900, and our exports decreased S15S,-
$4,000, thus causing a reduction in
our balance of trade to the extent OF
more than $3.50. 100000. In this con-
nection we must not forget that of
this $260,000.000 reduction in our
balance of trade s127.453.750 of 1t oc-
Cured during the months of April and
May, 1914, just preceding the war. and
at q time when war was not thought
of, but after the Democratic Tariff act
had sufficient time after its passage
to become fairly operative.

Where Workers Rule

There is no doubt that one reason
Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, has been
so successful as a dry town is that
the workingmen run it. When Van
dergrift was founded there was but
one restriction put upon the property.
For ninety nine years no liquor was to
be sold within it's boundaries. The
working people with whom this con-
tract was made were admirably adapt
ed to respect and support it. They
were, as a rule, American born, most
OF them from farms in the neighbor-
ing counties. BY training and tradi-
tion they were temperate. They be-
lieved Nandergrifts future would de-
pend in Il very large degree upon its
no-liquor policy, and this has proved
to be true.
1t is now q town OF about $500 in
habitants. Ninety per cent. of it is
owned by men who work for wages.
These men carry in the savings bank
over million dollars, and own some
thing like 125 automobiles. That is,
they and not saloonkeepers are getting
rich. IL Is peaceful as we'll as prosper
Gus. Two policemen on twelve hour
shifts look after law and order. and
they say in the town that the one on
duty cRn generally be found asleep on
the steps of the Casino. This Casino,
'argest plaza, has two wings-one
houses the library. and the other the
town council and Jail. have heard the
librarian argue that the Jail is used so
little she ought to have it for books.
1t Is sometimes needed. however. In
the first three months OF 1914 five diff
ferent persons spent night there. two
of them tramps glad of free lodging.
1t was fairly typical record.
A clergyman who came to Wander
grift after having spent years in other
industrial towns of Pennsylvania told
me that he never. in any community
where he had been stationed, had
known of a workingman on the church
official board or carrying the plate on
Sunday. Here there were no others
to perform these duties. Working
men make up the town council and
the board of education. The men have
places to go and things to do after
working hours. They are responsible
citizens, carrying a town on their
shoulders. and both the dignity and
the seriousness of the task keep them
steady-Ids NJ TarbeU, in The Chris
tian Herald.

DICKINSON LAW SCHOOL

TINE campaign of Horace B. King,
of Harrisburg, to raise a fund
sufficient to rebuild the Dickiu-
son law school building deserves the
success with which it is meeting. The
Dickinson law school Is an institution
from which many of the noted law
yers of the country have gone out and
of which Central Pennsylvania is very
proud. 1t is doing good work with
an antiquated and insufficient equip
ment. If it is to go on and fill the
need there is for 1t, it must have new
quarters. The best evidence that the
project is deserving is that scores of
graduates of the law school are among
the most generous contributors.

No TIME TO LOSE
TT is regrettable, of course, that tn

TT is regrettable, of course, that the
good name of Harrisburg as a
healthful and wholesome city has
been blackened by scourge of typhoid
fever from without. but we must face
the situation. discover the cause and
remove the danger without further de-
lay. Time for talking is past; time for
action is here.
So far as the City Council is con-
cerned it must not hesitate for mo-
ment to provide such funds as may be
needed to protect the health of the
city This is an emergency which de-
mands radical treatment. and If the
local Health Department is not able to
cope with the trouble, then let the
State be urged to assist. so that the
disease shall be stamped out in the
least possible time.
We are definitely assured that the
city's water supply is absolutely pure;
that there is no difficulty from this
source. Dirty creameries are held to
be largely responsible for what has
occurred. If one hundred inspectors
are necessary to trace the disease to
lts source, these should be employed
without delay and without regard to
cost.
But let's have no more discussion of
what TO do. 1t seems to be generally
understood that we should trace the
infection to it's origin. and when this
shall have been done the spread of the
disease will be checked. 1t is entirely
reasonable to believe that the local
health authorities have been handi-
capped in the fact that they have not
sufficient force to combat the epidemic.
This being true. City Council must
recognize the situation and provide
whatever inspectors or experts are
necessary TO crush the epidemic and
remove the stain upon the city's good
name.

terview that she would marry

order to provide a home for her mother.
she started something which now she
declares she is going to finish.
Miss Bishoff lives in Greenpoint, a
staid, old-fashioned section of Brook =
lyn. Since the story of her matri-
monial plans became public there has
been a steady stream of mail carriers,
special delivery letter messengers and
personal applicants for the position of
husband to Miss Bishoff flowing toward
the old-fashfoned house and then flow
ing back again. There have been hun
dreds of letters and almost as many
callers.
Miss Bishon is undeniably pretty
She is small and slight and fair, of Ger
man antecedents. and with the Teuton's
practical turn OF mInd. There is no
sentiment about her proposal to marry
any man who measures up to her. re-
quirements. oh. no, 1T is purely a mat
ter of business.
GreenpOint Is Shocked
Greenpoint regards the young wo-
mans enterprise with something ap-
preaching horror. "Just like selling
herself into slavery or auctionlng her
self Off to the highest bidder" is the
comment you hear in Greenpoint
And as for the mother, she is far
from being the frail, white-faced in
valid the original story about Miss
Bishoff conjured up. The writer of
that story evidently felt 1t his duty to
dress up" the recital and, anyway,
why should pretty young girl OF 20
advertise for a husband to provide O
home for her mother IL the mother
wasn't an invalid?
But as matter of fact Mrs. Bishoff
is plump, rosy, strong looking woman
who'is housekeeping for Dr. M. Seley in
Greenpoint. Mrs. Bishoff and her
daughter live in Doctor Seley's home.
When the doorbell and the telephone
bell both began ringing. after the
story OF Miss Bishoffs appeared in the
newspapers, Doctor Seley was puzzled
and dismayed, but 30 soon as le learn
ed what Is was all about he bundled
his family into his 7-passenger motor
