Gross Letter
The letter from Commissioner Gross
replying to the Chamber of Commerce,
follows:
Mr.. E. l.. McColgin, Secretary,
Chamber of Commerce,
Harrisburg, Pa.
Dear Sir - Recognizing the in-
portance of the matters concerning
which you write under date of April
~, concerning the safeguarding of the
water supply and distribution system
of the City of Harrisburg, more than a
month ago the City Council quietly
proceeded to establish what we felt
was adequate protection. =
1T is never wise to inform the
ton of the safeguards thrown around
any property, so we did not make
these matters public.
''If you care to go over these mat
ters with us, we will be glad to con-
slider your suggestions as to any addi-
tional guards or precautions required
Thanking you for your interest in
this matter. we are
Very truly yours,
EDWARD u. GROSS"
1t was reported to-day that within
the last week a resident of the Allison
Hill district, turning up his coat collar
and pulling his hat over his eyes, made
a complete tour of the path around
the reservoir and through the entire
park, but was not stopped by guard
Others, however, have attempted to
make visit at the reservoir, but were
stopped by guards, they said.

A GOOD ADMINISTRATION

The annual report Of the city
auditor, presented at the meeting Of
the council this week. contained some
most eloquent figures. It showed
that practically every department Of
the municipal government had kept
we'll under the budget estimate. and
from every fund except one money
would remain upspent In the
treasury. It also showed that the
current Indebtedness Of the city,
which was ss.141.1s on January 1st.
1916, has been reduced to S5.415.4s,
. reduction Of s2.725.so during the
year.
It is. an encouraging feature OF
the municipal administration to find
that the tide has finally set in the
right direction. While economy mas
been practiced in all departments, it
has not been at the expense Of ef-
ilciency, and the affairs of the city
have been maintained at a high
standard. Attendance at sessions OF
the council would convince one that
the members Of the body were in
tent upon the giving Of the best
possible service. There has been an
absence Of friction among the MEM
bers, and their good work is now
shown in an improved financial re-
port. The report will be published
in full in the Sunday edition Of the
Courier.

LEWIS HAS VISION
OF WAR FOR THE us,

Washington. Jan. 5.--"G agree
with Secretary Lansing or anybody
else who says the war caano. con-
tinue without America being ivolved
in it," said Senator Lewis in the SEN
ate this afternoon. while urging pas
sage OF Senator Hitchcock's note Of
endorsement.
Lewis thrust the war idea on the
senate with startling suddenness, Am
erica. he said. cannot proceed fur
ther in accepting apologies" for in
juries done by ship commanders. pre-
sumably referring to German sub
marine commanders.
II do not think We will ever again
allow captains of ships, officers Of
armies. or officers of diplomacy to de-
liver upon this country an injury and
escape with the excuse that orders
were misunderstood or that the Of
ficers acted In excess Of ZEAL" he
said.
The United States is the agent OF
morality in this step and the presi-
dent is to be admired by the world
for It. This country cannot accept
apology hereafter and will punish to
the extent Of her powers any such
injury"
THE nations abroad" he said,
will argue potently that the op-
ponents of this resolution are in
fluenced to continue the war that
this nation Of ours can continue to
benefit with the riches OF war.
"or they will conclude that race
prejudice has grown SO strong in this
nation. made up Of nationalities, that
these able senators are unable to
divorce themselves from race influ-
ence in order to support Wilson In
his efforts to end the war. to stop
this profaning women and children,
to halt this destruction Of civiliza-
ton. this ending Of the Christian era.
THE opposition to this resolution
would be construed abroad az an ex-
hibition Of partiality toward one side,
that the senators will be willing to
see one side beat down and the other
raised up to exultant victory" Lewis
continued.
This resolution may offend against
precedent" he held. but regardless
Of this, the senate ought to uphold
the presidents hands"
Lewis declared too. that there was
no attempt in the presidents note
to favor Germany or to play the peace
game. Lewis Is one Of the demo
cratic leaders closest to the White
House.

MEETING NEW CONDITIONS

The cost OF the raw material Is
the basis for pricing the finished pro-
duct. That is the reason why shoes
cost more and why -four per sack
fluctuates with the price Of wheat.
and then why the loaf Of bread is
either reduced in size or sold at a
little higher price to meet the ad-
vance in wheat. The labor that goes
into the manufacture of the article
that may be in question just at the
time also influences the price, and
II a war prosperity makes materials
and labor unduly high, the public
pays the price. for the consumer
always squares the account In the
end. II Is necessary that he should,
for II a pair OF shoes or loaf OF
bread should be sold at less than the
cost OF production, there is disaster
ahead for someone.
That newspapers are affected by the
same conditions that affect other bus
iness enterprises is demonstrated by
the fact that several hundred publica-
tions have ceased publication because
OF the increase in the cost Of the
materials used in their production.
Others have had to seek new bal
ance through increased subscription
and advertising rates, and the Cal
ifornia state press association is at
tempting united action in the matter
A special committee recently appoint.
ed from the association has made the
following recommendation:
I'VE recommend that as proper
and immediate relief from present
conditions over which publisher
have no control, their advertising
and subscription rates be advanced
to cover the increased cost. believ'ni
that in most cases the existing rato'
are not commensurate with existinI
prices Of production and that thu

Tumulty's statement follows:
Il am glad to say publicly that

frequently the president, who knows
that I am bombarded by newspaper
