POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Complains Of
Conditions Which Work Harm in
Many Other Municipalities.

The residents of Los Angeles are to
be congratulated If the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi
pie pole-and-wire systems now borne
by the northeast districts. In the lat
ter, in Garvanza and Highland Park
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been blotted out In few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de-
spoiled, private property rights vio-
lated, in stringing wires without per-
mission, and all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. 1t is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition of existing lines by
the city will result in the removal of
at least two-thirds of the present jun
gle, for the district is now despoiled.

Unique Political Situation.

Republican leaders In congress who
are quoted upon the proposal to admit
former PrOg-essives to the Republican
executive committee are apparently
proceeding upon the principle that
while il is never too late to mend, II
may be too early. The members Of
the recent Progressive conference at
Chicago make the point that the Re
publican campaign committee con-
tanned six Bull Moosers, and that the
election showed that majority of the
old party Is progressive, as evidenced
by the success of La Toilette, Capper,
Mccormick and Johnson, and the de-
feat of Lippitt, Du Pont, and Suther-
land. All they are asking, therefore,
is that the majority of the party be
given a minority representation on the
executive committee. Was there ever
anything just like this in our politics?
Half a dozen years ago people spoke
of the old guard and the insurgents"
and upon occasion the lines were
drawn with sharpness, as in the fight
against Cannon in the house. But when
before did one section of a party act
as an unabsorbed mass, propose terms,
plead for recognition as the guaranty
of party success?

SATURDAY, FEB. 3

The Galloway Times reports a
much improved condition of public
sentiment at Murray, saying:
"a Frankfort dispatch says that the
Hopkinsville and Louisville compan-
les of the National Guards may be
sent to Murray in February, at the
trial Of the negro murderer. Better
save that expense to the State. Judge
Langston says it is useless to send
troops here, that they will not be
needed, and that Sheriff Patterson is
confident that the officials of Galloway
county can we'll take care of the stu
alton. The negro now has cost the
state and county more than he is
worth, not only in money, but trou-
BILE to the people. The authorities,
in the opinion of the people here,
should keep the soldiers away; the
local force is all sufficient; and then
the citizens do not apprehend the
least danger to the prisoner, as all
they have asked for and are asking
for now, is a speedy and just trial to
all parties. Keep your soldiers
away"
This of course sounds reassuring,
but it has not been 80 days since 10
cal attorney made an inflammatory
speech in the courthouse and a mob

threats of violence to the Circuit
Judge There should be no chances
taken on further indignities to the
court, or to the grand jury if it sees
to indict the members of the
mob who conspired to defy the laws.

Tariff Taxes consumar.

That protection, no matter whom
else It protects, does not protect the
wage worker is abundantly proved by
the fact that wages in our two most
generously protected industries
wooden and cotton manufacture-have
been for many years VIGOROUSLY low
in comparison with the agricultural i'm
plement industry, having low protec-
tiOn-latterly none at all-and the
railroad industry, which, of course,
cannot be protected by tariff. The
only thing a tariff can keep up is
prices to the consumer. thus enabling
the favored manufacturer TO tax the
public for his own personal profit.

Underwood Exposes Attack.

Senator Underwood exposed the
falsity of another Republican attack on
the Underwood tariff in his speech at
Cincinnati, when he said that the GUS
toms receipts for 1914 showed that the
revenue was coming in largely under
1t, and this was before the war broke
out. For six months prior to the
opening of hosAIities the country was
prosperous and beginning to recover
from the period of depression that had
set In before Taft went out of office.
There is no reason to doubt that the
prosperity would have continued had
there been no war, for the records of
the department Of commerce show that
war material constitutes just 10 per
cent of the six billion Of imports and
exports of the country.-Moblle Regis

Red SOx Owner Says
War Will Not Stop Game

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. %
Harry II. Frazee, owner of the Bos-
ton Red SoX, of the American Lea
que, in an interview at the Traymore
declared that he did not think the
big leagues would be seriously af-
fected by the war. Frazee expressed
regret that Ban Johnson would ne
lost to organized baseball and paid
tribute to the competency of Ed
Barrow, who is to take up Bans
work. He said that Miller Higgins
will be a big asset to the Yankees.
81 do not believe that the war will
gravely injure BASEBALL; that is, l do
not think it will interfere to any
great extent with either the Amer
ican or National Leagues" he stated.
THE sentiment behind the country
is solidly behind baseball and this
cannot be displaced. Despite the war
major league baseball was in a pros
porous condition last season. With q
few exceptions, the club in the
National and American Leagues
made money and 1 look for even a
better season next year.
THE draft for war service will not
materially weaken the older teams.
Both the leagues are essential to the
success of organized baseball, and It
would be a mistake for one league
to try to weaken another. Their
friendly rivalry is the biggest asset
the game has"

WESTERN DRIVE
BEGINS TODAY
Hard Fight on For Gridiron
Honors; Chicago Is in
Lead

Chicago, Oct. 29.-With the close
of the Big Ten" football race less
than month away coaches of the
four leading elevens-Ohio State,
Illinois. Minnesota and Chicago-to-
day begin to drive their charges
through five days of training in prep
aration for crucial games next Sat
urday.
With single exception. favorites
ame through Saturdays games on
the winning end and held their op-
ponents scoreless. Perhaps the big
gest upset was the 20-to-0 defeat of
Nebraska at the hands of Michigan.
The Cornhuskers had been heralded
as one of the strongest teams de-
veloped at the Nebraska institution
in years, but after the first period
the Nebraska defense crumpled and
tho wolverines, using short forward
passes. offtackle drives and lone
plunges. plowed through the line for
consistent gains.
The victory stamps Michigan as
one of the most powerful teams in
the west. although it is not consid-
cred in big Ten" affairs this season,
as 1t has only one conference game
Northwestern-on it's schedule.
Chicago Makes Good
Chicago established itself in the
conference race by defeating North
western, it's traditional rival, to 0,
in the bitterest game played on
Stagg field in years. The victory in
dicates that the Chicago eleven will
make a far more creditable showing
in the race than it did last season.
The 27-to-0 triumph Illinois scored
over Purdue indicates that Illinois
and Chicago, which clash next Sat
urday, are virtually OF equal strength.
Chicago rolled up an identical score
on Purdue a week ago. After being
held scoreless in the first half, 1lli-
nois played brilliant football in the
final periods and kept the ball in
Purdue's territory.
Wisconsin had no trouble in taking
Iowa into camp, 20 to 0. The Badg-
ers outweighed their foes and made
four successive marches down the
field. Wisconsin kept its new forma-
tions under cover in preparation for
Minnesota next Saturday.
Notre Dame Strong
Notre Dame was much too strong
for the heavy South Dakota State
eleven, which fell before 4O-to-O
count. Notre Dame pewildered the
Coyotes with forward passes which
were directly responsible fer three
touchdowns. South Dakota was un-
able to pierce the Notre Dam line
and succeeded only once in making a
first down.

WELLYs 3 CORNER

Unless stronger police protection
is assured at future football games
between Steelton and local high
school teams, all future contests
should be called off. Occurrences like
those of Saturday are a disgrace to
local scholastic sports. If the Penn
sylVania 1nterScholactic Athletic AS
sociation has any authority, now is
the time to prove it. School officials
should act promptly in efforts for
clean sport.
There are stories galore about the
Dayhon incident in Saturdays game.
Coach Ryan is a hard loser and some
things he was guilty of on Saturday
were direct violations of rules. How
ever, in the Dayhoff miXup he was
only doing what any other man
would have done to an injured play
er, go to his assistance. He did not
strike first Dayhoff's attack when
Ryan's back was turned was coward
ly to say the least.

actions at the end of the first half.

is impossible to get away from the
bitter feeling when Steelton meets
Harrisburg in any sport. Both teams
roughed it up and the principal rea-

shocked.
The car with its occupants plunged
fifty feet over an embankment to the
Pennsylvania railroad as two freight
locomotives coupled together round
ed a curve nearby, but they stopped
within eleven feet of the car, which
was badly wrecked. The raiIroadmen
took charge of the victims until an
ambulance from the State Hospital
conveyed CovelesRi and his sister to
that institution. Classic was taken to
his home. The accident was caused
by the car skidding. A heavy rain was
falling at the time.
