COAL MOUNTAIN AT COLUMBIA
81. Luke's Hospital Also Seeks to Fore
stall Price Raise.

Dwellers in some Of the most parquet
foored apartment houses on Morning
side Heights have been tempted 70 be-
lieve lately that st. Luke's Hospital and
Columbia University have discovered
coal veins beneath their land. But the
institutions are only playing a game OF
chance with the price Of a ton Of coal.
St. Luke's has piled three hundred
tons OF anthracite on the lawn al the
west end Of the hospital building,
where patients sit in summer. Twenty
feet deep the coal completely covers
several small trees. Around the corner.
along West Hath Street. Columbia has
stored more than five hundred tons on
South Field.
At the first threat Of a possible an
thracite strike the coal was bought
Il was learned that the institutions
are at the present time losers By about
is cents a ton because Of their precau-
tions.
There have been approximations on
the part Of those whose windows over
look the coal piles that the dust would
blacken the aeigh borhood in the sum
mer Assurances were given az ST
Luke's that their reserve pile would be
used before then in order TO make the
lawn accessible for patients.

a the time approaches for the
~ nomination of candidates for the
Presidency, the pledges and
promises of the Democratic platform
of 1912 are being more closely studied.
These are guides to the real purposes
of the Democracy. Having utterly
failed to make good in many direc-
tions the people are not likely to be
impressed with the sweet-scented
phrases which fall from the lips of
the President and his supporters on
every occasion.
We were assured four years ago at
Baltimore that the Democratic party
favored a single term for the Presi-
dent. That is now a mere scrap of
paper" We were also told that econ
omy would be the watchword, yet
hundreds of millions of dollars have
been squandered in one way or an
other. Even Democratic leaders like
Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
Congressman Fitzgerald, of New York
City, and others have publicly pro-
tested against the reckless squander-
ing of funds.
Every form of taxation has been re-
sorted to in the absence of war to
raise money for the spendthrifts now
in control at Washington. A writer
has suggested that the Democratic
watchword now is, Let us eat and
drink, for tomorrow we die" Grab
everything in sight appears to be the
policy of those in power. Lack of
ability, theoretical administration, nag
ging of business, upsetting of we'll
tried and established policies-these
have been the things, plus the race
for spoils, that have destroyed con-
/ fdence in the party now in control of
( the government and invoked the wide
spread protest which is going up
/ against the continuance of Demo-
cratic rule.

principles, but as one Havre de Gra-
clan explained it, Most of them have
nothing against the races. While the
meets are on, they take in lodgers."
The lack of opposition really
springs, however, from less mercenary
motives than that. An addition of
fifteen hundred people to the popula-
ton of a town of four thousand makes
a large difference in business transact
ed. especially when the fifteen hundred
belongs to a class that spends money
freely. But even so, Havre de Grace
would probably object strenuousy to
being used as a racing center If the
visitors were inclined to be trouble
some. They are not. Natives agree
that they are exceptionally quiet and
unobtrusive element. There are sew
the winner may celebrate victory or
the loser drown defeat in strong wat
ers. Yet the local police force does
not add one single constable while the
races are on.
OF all the little towns where big
race meets are held, none is better fit
ted to set off the coIorful, variegated
life of the track than Havre de Grace,
For this is an old and historic village
contrasting sharply with the ultra
modern crowds in the streets.
There is a gentleman in Havre de
Grace who recently mad the honor of
watching a monument unveiled to the
heroism of his grandfather. When
the British marched on Baltimore in
the war of 1912, Havre de Grace was
one of the unfortunate places that
they visited en- route. When they ar
rived there were sixty or seventy
houses in Havre de Grace, and they
burned most of those, so that most ot
the town of today is less than a hun.
dred years old. Havre de Grace was
taken, but in the gallant defense OF
John O'Neil, the patriotic inhabitant
finds some consolation.
According to Havre de Grace today
John O'Neil-whose grandson still
lives here-whipped the British single
handed He did not quite do that
but he made it interesting for then
for a time. The citizens expected ar
attack and set up a battery of three

SOCIAL CENTERS

INHE TELEGRAPH has just COM
pleted publication of a series Of
three articles on social center
needs and possibilities in Harrisburg
They were written by Mrs. Anna II.
Wood, based on the views of an ex-
pert and prepared after many inter-
views and much investigation. They
were given to the public at this time
with the hope that they might be of
some value in arousing the people of
the city to the needs of the munich
pality in this direction. Four or five
community centers ought to be
opened in Harrisburg next autumn
and during the summer is the time to
null over the problem and decide
upon the preliminaries.
We have concerts. public play
grounds, tennis courts, baseball dia-
monds, swimming, camping and what
not for our people, young and old,
during the summer, but when cold
weather comes we leave the entire
population to it's own devices. Some
thing must be done to keep the BOYS
and girls off the streets and out of
the way of temptation and trouble in
the winter.
1t is all very we'll to say that the
place for the youth is in the home.

SIR ROGER EASEMENT

CIR ROGER EASEMENTS friends
y contend that his brilliant intel
lect is marred by a streak of in
sanity and suggest that he be sent to
an asylum rather than the gallows.
Insanity is the favorite plea of the
man who finds himself in serious trou-
BILE of his own making, and it may be
that this is the case with Sir Roger.
But there is one point not brought out
in his defense which would indicate
pretty strongly that the deluded Irish
patriot is lacking at least in good
Judgment and common sense. He
went to Berlin, it will be remembered,
to seek sympathy and aid for the free
dom of Ireland. Berlin, the hotbed of
imperialism and the last stronghold
of the divine right of kings. as the
cradle of Irish liberty is the dream Of
a madman, ludicrous If it were not so
fraught with tragedy.

T<O-DAY sees the end of the years
Spring racing in HaVre de Grace.
- The little Maryland town is ready
to settle back into it's wonted quiet
after two weeks of feverish activity,
count its profits and wait for the Fall
meeting.
1t is worth while paying visit to
Havre de Grace while the races are
on, whether you are interested in rae
ing or not. HaVre de Grace has nor
mally about four thousand people and
an atmosphere of reminiscent dignity
and picturesque peace. Twice year
for two weeks comes a period when a
daily crowd of six thousand racing
folk descends on the village. Fifteen
hundred of the same worldly and en-
ergetic class take up temporary quar-
tcrs in HaVre de Grace itself to the
great enlivenment of local society and
the profit of everybody who has any,
thing for sale or a room for rent.
Havre de Grace is a town transformed.

DAMAGING THE PAVING

TT would seem to be high time for
the adoption of some rules and
regulations to restrain the need
less slashing of paved streets in all
parts of the city. Instead of a reason
able provision requiring service cor
porations to utilize the same trench
for making house connections it ap-
pears that these companies in many
cases rip open the newly-paved high
way with utter indifference TO the
consequent damage.
An illustration in point is the sec
ton of Derry street between Twenty
fifth and Twenty-sixth streets. About
a year ago this street was paved with
asphalt and during the past week or
two it has been opened on both sides
OF the car line in twenty or thirty
trenches necessary to provide house
connections which should have been
installed before the paving was done!
1t is almost invariably the result
that a cut in the streets is never re-
paired in such a way as to leave the
surface in the same condition as be-
fore. These openings almost always
mean points of deterioration
Taking the block in question as an
example, why should it not have been
possible to make one cut serve a
lateral connection inside the curbline &?
But whatever the remedy, one should
be Immediately applied to prevent the
wholesale damaging of the paved
highways of the city.
Already Harrisburg is being in
volved in heavy expense for street re-
pair work because under a general re-
pair contract covering a period of
several years the holes and depres-
sions were permitted to grow worse
and worse until to-day wide areas
must be resurfaced-
"A stitch in time saves nine" also,
immediate repair of damaged high
way saves large expenditures.
This is a matter for the Depart
ment of Highways and we believe
Commissioner Lynch is sufficiently
experienced and enterprising TO cor
rect whatever defects exist in the
present regulation affecting the open
ing Of streets.
