I Prohibition for tine Territory after
the Sheppard Law has ceased to be
valid here will be one Of the principal
| slogans Of the Democratic party this
coming campaign, according to party
leaders who finally decided upon n

The prohibition plank in the plat,
form pledges the Democratic party TO
work for prohibition by plebicite--
that Is. when the liquor question comes
up again, two years after the war.
the party pledges itself to work for
continuance of the bone dry law
which will go into effect on August
81 in the Territory.
Soldiers and Homesteads
The plank in the Democratic plat.
form which provides for the taking
care of soldiers and sailors, by giving
them homesteads in the Territory, goes
q bit further than ahs Republican
platform and provides for the giving
of homosteads to all citizens. of Ha'
Wan who have entered either the mill.
tary or naval service of the country,
whether they remain here or whether
they are sent to the Front.
The committee unanimously endorsed
the reappointment of Malcolm Franklin

who to-day purchased portions of
the new delicacy are any criterion.
Some odd scores of people who pass
cd the fish market in Market Square
this morning were properly startled
when they saw a placard advertising
the merits of fresh whale meat.
More than one of them dug deep
into his jeans for the necessary pur-
chase prlce-the new fish meat sells
at 20 cents n pound.
The meat is a deep red in color
and of fine texture. Those who have
eaten it pronounce it an excellent
dish. we had some fried over yon-

clerks said, and 1t was delicious
The taste, it is said, is a most pala-
table zone, similar to that of fine
beefsteak although there is a bit of
fish reminiscence in smack of salt
water flavor.
The whales are caught off the
coast of New England. New York
and other metropolitan fish markets
have been selling the food for q long
time. The meat was brought here
for trial and it is believed Harris

DEPUTY SMITH
WASN'T TRUSTED
IN BIG RAID
Competent Officers Feared
Man of His Slow Wit
Wasn't Safe

Harvey Il. Smith, who mis-repre-
sents the, government by grace of
political pull as United States mar
shall of tins district, was guilty of an
other of his country constable stunts
Saturday night when he attempted
to prevent the Harrisburg Telegraph
from procuring an accurate account
of the federal raids here.
Smith was a little man before he
got into office and he was evidently
shrunk in the process of squeezing
into big company. To keep himself
square with the political boss who
put him where he is, Smith has re-
peatedly attempted to withhold news
from this newspaper. He hasn't sue
ceeded, but he has continued to
amuse himself by "balling out" re-
porters and otherwise conducting
himself unbefitting a man in the
service of the government He has
behaved from time to time as though
he fancied the government were
serving him, instead of the other
way around. Smith would make a
fine Fifth ward Philadelphia rounds
man. perhaps, but as a United States
marshal he rattles around in his job
like pea in a bushel basket, and
just about as effectively.
Saturday night. while permitting
reporters of other newspapers TO en-
ter the federal courtroom, Smith in
a ruffianly manner grabbed a repre-
sentative of the Telegraph by the
shoulder and forbade him to enter,
Notwithstanding the protests of an
other officer present. Smith told the
officer he was venting his own petty
spleen on the reporter whom he
blamed wrongfully for crlticising
him in the columns of the Telegraph
for boneheaded trick on a previous
occasion.
How ill-fitted Smith is for the Job
he holds, may be judged from the
fact that those who had the investi-
cation in charge kept every detail
from him until late Saturday after
noon. He wasn't let in on q single
thing until II was too late for his
marvellous mentality unwittingly to
slip cog and let the cat out of the
bag. And after having been tipped off
'at The last minute, in a perfectly
SmithesQue manner. he proceeded to
act as though he were conducting the
whole show himself. Isn't it about
time the government appointed a
real marshal in Harrisburg?

AGREEMENT ON
CAPITOL PARK
NOW in SIGHT
State and City May Get To-

Conference
TO PLOT NEW STREETS
New Plans Call For Court,
Gardens and Decorative
Features

An agreement between the state Of
Pennsylvania and the city of Harris
burg is expected ITO be reached to-
! morrow regarding the cooperation
in Capitol Park extension at a series
of conferences to be held at the Cap
itol between state and municipal off,
cials and as all construction restric-
tions which would have hampered
have been removed, it is planned to
start work in the spring. The ap-
preparation for the operation was
made by the last Legislature. Since
that time the plans have been elab-
GRATED to provide for court, gardens
and other features in the extended
park and for a bridge to be dedicat-
ed to the counties of the state.
These conferences, which will like
ly be, attended by Arnold W. Brun-
ner, the architect, mark the closing
up of various matters which have
been pending. Superintendent George
A. Shreiner will meet City Socilitor
John Il. Fox tomorrow in regard to
| the lines for streets and outline the
I city's part in the great program.
These matters will then be submitted
to the Board of Public Grounds,
whose meeting will be attended by
Mr.. Drummer, Warren II. Manning.
and j. f. Greiner, the latter the
bridge engineer.
Should there be an open winter
the state might prepare the terraces
and copings along the new lines OF
Third and Walnut streets and the
Capitol driveways. Some action will
be taken regarding the monumental
entrance at State street.
