A Frosty Morning
TFrom the Columbus Dispatch.1


After gloomy days, the frosty
morning comes as a benediction. 1t
seems to put new life and new hope
and new aspirations into the souls
of men and women.
Not long ago there was nasty
week. Clouds and moisture-and
depression. The sun was all but for
gotten, for if it showed itself at all,
it was with a sickly. fieeting glow.
The muscles became fiabby from the
warm temperature; dispositions took
on the nature of the weather. There
was no elasticity in the step, no
mirth in the voice, a slow, dull, list
less tiredness took hold of people.
And then came the frosty morning.
One did not have to have eyes to
know that the sun was shining, nor
ears to hear the music of attuned
Nature.
A hundred years were saved right
here in the city in the quickened
pace of the people. A thousand
horsepower was added to the
strength of the laborers. The good
resolutions that We're made would
fill q library-and the inspirations
that came to those who breathed
deeply of the frost-ladened air will
keep the world a-going for another
season. Great are the blessings of
the frosty morning-the goodness of
God scintillating from every crystal; ;
divine music borne upon the wings
of the health giving air.

the pie inst cad of the four five-cent
pieces we used to get before the
war; (pardon the interpolated
thought as to quantity and price)
look like the old-time original
"punkin" pie that mother used to
make. but that's as far as the re-
semblance goes.
Turkey, cranberries and punkin'
pie! How our mouths water in re-
mem brance of the famous Thanks
giving trio. And now that turkey
has been taken from us by reason
of the high cost of living and cram
berries are a luxury due to the
scarcity of sugar, We do not propose
that anybody shall steal from us that
last vestige of the Thanksgiving
feast, "punkin" pie.
why, the very making of the
Thanksgiving dish used to be a
ceremony of itself in thousands of
American homes. The day mother
put on her big apron, fired up the
kitchen stove to an extra tempera-
ture, carved the golden pumpkin,
got out the spices, the cream, the
eggs and the -four was one no boy of
sturdy appetite was likely to forget.
"Punkin" pies make for good citi-
zenship. as well as good digestion.
Nobody can enjoy 'punkin" pie and
not love the hills and valleys of the
land that produces its component
parts. A Bolshevist may occasion
ally indulge in a piece of pumpkin
custard, but nobody except a hun
dred per cent, hurrah-for-theg
old U.-S.-A. type of American can
get the full enjoyment out of pun
kin" pie. We believe a course in
the making and eating of this deli
cacy OF the season ought to be a
part of every community's Ameri-
canization program. That, we guess,
would set lot of red-fiaggers to
waving their napkins instead.

TAFT AND THE TREATY

TORMER PRESIDENT TAFT is
so enthusiastically in favor of a
League of Nations that he would
have the country adopt Mr.. wilson's
plan without change or reservation.
He talks of those who oppose the
League without reservations as
"small minority"
Mr.. Taft is big mana very big
man-but indications are not lack

sentiment through Wilsonian spec
tacles. With him the wish has been

the League Covenant, which pledges
\ us to safeguard forever the boundries
of all Europe? Does he imagine
that the fatherS of American boys
want to see them ordered off to
Europe every time the mad-cap peo-
pies of the Balkans run amuck?
Does he think that Americans will
readily submit to a draft to raise
an army to save Dalmatia from the
Jugo-Slavs or Greece from the
Turks? He will find, we think, tkat
popular sentiment rests with those
members of the Senate who would
leave the sovereignty of the United
States with Congress, rather than
place it in the hands of a delegation
made up largely of Europeans, with
America always sadly in the minority.
Many Americans have begun to
suspect that the League is a greatly
overrated proposal. Will its adop-

TIE new organization be to raise
armies to quell present disturbances
IF the latter, We may consider our
selves we'll out of it. Charity be-

that has been accomplished we may

Only the politicians are excited. All
Americans, or nearly all, favor a

want to swallow the Presidents plar

ZONES FOR CITY

| CUPERINTENDENT GROSS and
IN Fire Chief Kinder very proper
ly are taking up with the State fire
prevention authorities means of ex-
tending the city's powers of safety
regulation. But they should not be
content with that. The ordinance
governing such matters in Harris
burg needs to be thoroughly revised,
if not replaced entirely by new
measure. Fire prevention, zones for
brick, frame and fireproof structures,
regulation and limitation of altera-
tions and restriction of certain types
of buildings to certain parts of the
city should be dictated by carefully
thought out and maturely consid-
cred municipal ordinances.
That this is live subject is shown
by the fact that there is now in the
committee on public affairs of the
Harrisburg Rotary Club a series of
resolutions asking for information
on the subject and recommending
radical changes.
The subject of fire regulation and
zoning is closely related to that of
housing, now engrossing the atten-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce,
which has also a committee at work
/ on building regulations. Every pro-
gressive city either already has a
zoning system or is working one out.
AS the laws of the city now stand,
anybody may build almost any kind
! of a building, anywhere. To be
sure, we do have regulations of a
sort, but they are both inadequate
and obsolete. For example, only a
few weeks ago the people of a resi-
dence street narrowly escaped the
location of a big garage and service
station in the midst of expensive
houses. In another section, a year
ago, big bottling works would
have been built had not a resident
rushed in and bought up the de-
sired land. In both these instances
property values would have been
hurt by the proposed developments
Public sentiment and individual en-
terprise prevented, but many other
sectors have not been so fortunate
Zoning would prevent the erection
of dangerous or Objectionable build
ings in parts of town reserved fol-
homes. When the new Capitol ex-
tension and the memorial bridge
are completed we shall need a zon.
ing system to protect them from en-
croachments that would mar theil
beauty. The time to begin is now
superintendent Gross has opened
the way.

mean by moving without orders? !?
Do you want to give away our posi-
tion?"

Useless Knowledge
Herbert Spencer.1

Old schemes of education, incar-
mated in public schools and colleges
continue filing the heads of new
generations with what has become
relatively useless Knowledge, and,
by consequence, excluding knowl-
edge which is useful. Not an or
ganization of any kind-political,
religious, literary, philanthropic -
but what, by its ever-multiplying
regulations, it's accommodating wealth
its yearly addition of officers, and
the creeping into it of patronage and
party feeling, eventually loses its
original spirit and sinks into q
mere lifeless mechanism, worked with
a view to private ends-a mechanism
which not merely fails of it's first
purpose, but is a positive hindrance
to IT.

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists

the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease, 1t is on sale

BY EDWARD w. PlCKARD.

Yielding to the authority and power
OF the government, the leaders of the
Mine Workers union complied with
the mandatory order of Judge Ander-
son and called off the strike. Their
action was hailed with delight by
orally but its expected good effect
was not apparent Immediately In
deed, in most of the bituminouS dis
tricts the men showed a disposition to
remain idle until their wage demands
had been adjusted. This, however, was
doubtless due to their incomplete I'M
derstandng of the situation and TO
unavoidable delay in distributing the
cancelling order.
The government lost no time in TAX
ing steps to bring about an amicable
agreement between the operators and
the men. The cabinet instructed Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson to summon all
parties to a conference in Washington,
and at this writing the representatives
of both sides are trying to formulate a
new working pact. The cabinet
members were all of the opinion that
the miners officials were entitled, by
tneir action, TO the fullest cOnsidera-
tion of their list of grievances, and
that the operators should be held to
their promise to submit to negotiation,
and, if that fails, to arbitration.
