Government at Washington
From a Bulletin of National Cit
Bank, New York;

[From a Bulletin of National City
Bank, New York;
If organized labor is conceded
the right to tie up all the industry
and commerce of the country at it's
own will our form of government
will have been changed. Authority
over the community life will have
passed from the regularly elected
representatives of the people to the
labor organizations. The public
wants labor to have a fair show in
struggles with capital, but not su-
preme power Mr.. Gompers is
quoted as saying upon the pending
bill proposing to forbid strikes on
the railroads, that he would not
hesitate to enter just strike despite
such a law. This attitude is clearly
a mistaken one, because it is claim
ing a supremacy over the law which
Mr.. Gompers never would concede
to his antagonists. 1t is the first
principle of organized society that
everybody shall be equal before the
law. and that no individual shall
put his personal Judgment above the
law. The overthrow of this prin-
ciple would mean the destruction of
order and government. The rule of
reason and of the ballot box would
be overthrown and society would
lapse back TO the rule of force.

L. f. McGINNES

~HE public schools of Pennsyl-
vania lose great champion
in the death of Prof. l.. f. Nc
Chimes. While his success in con-
Quoting the schools of Steelton
marked him as a superintendent of
more than ordinary ability, his re-
putation as an educator was not
confined to his home town. AS
member of the Board of State Educa-
tion he was great factor in the de-
velopment of the educational system
of the State along modern and effl-
cient lines and as president of the
Pennsylvania State Educational AS
sociation he became known the
country over as a deep thinker and
tireless worker in the great work of
lifting the public schools of the Ma
tion to new and higher planes of use
I, fulness.
A lover of children, an executive
of high type, an able teacher and
a staunch believer in the principles
of Americanism and the future of
the country, he was mighty force
for good not only in his home COM
munity but wherever his powerful
personality made itself felt. His
place will not be easily filed.

A UNITED PARTY

TVERY indication. following the
III meeting of the Republican
National Committee at Wash
ington last week, points to n united
party. One of the biggest things ac-
complished was the appointment of
a committee to draw up a platform
for the next campaign. Every fac
tor in the life of the Nation will have
consideration in the formulation of
the Republican program-business
labor and agriculture. All of them
will be. invited to express their views
with the assurance that they will be
fairly treated by the very representa-
!. tive committee in charge of the i'm
portant function of plat form build
ing.
Next campaigns success will de-
pend more upon principles than up
on personality. The candidate, who
ever he may be. will be the servant
of the party. The platform will be
greater than he, for Republicans
must go before the country with the
:. solemn pledge to carry out every
declaration of their convention, in
sofar as is humanity possible. There
can be no repetition of the false
pretenses by which Wilson was re-
elected on the catch phrase "he kept
us out of war" The voters are look
ing more deeply into national af-
fairs than ever before. They are
reading and thinking and they will
not stand for any candidate or any
party that does not embody their
ideas as to what the United States
Government should be and do in the
next four years.
The Republican party leaders
realize this and when the platform
goes before the Chicago convention
next June it will be the voice of the
american people speaking their
convictions as to the issue before
fhe country and the best means OF
meeting them. No better way
could have been devised to bring
Z Hnder the banners of the Republi-
can party q majority OF the voters

In the consideration of the budget
for the coming year the gentlemen of
City Council might with propriety
give attention to the appointment of
a Shade Tree Commission. This matter
has'sbeen more or less discussed for
several wears. but has always struck
the rocks before reaching final ac-
tion. There would seem now to he no
good reason for further postponemcnt
of this real safeguard of the shade
trees of Harrisburg. Unless we have
some such authority over the trees
we may be certain that the loss to
which the City Forester recently
called attention will increase from
year to year.

WHEN KREISLER COMES

Ut IS to be hoped that Harrisburg
will witness no such disorderly
- outbreaks as have marked the
appearance of Fritz Kreisler in some
cities, when the great violinist ap-
pears here.
1t is time we distinguish between
the good and the bad in our alien
population. 1t is just as patriotic
TO encourage the good men of for
cign birth as it is to set the foot
down hard on the red radicals.
Kreiser is not a man of the DR..
Muck type. Muck was deported.
end deservedly so, because of his
pro-German sympathies. Kreisler.
on the other hand, while for few
weeks in 1914, long before America
got into the war, fought in the
Austrian army, never was accused
of disloyal act and devoted
thousands of dollars of his own
money foI the relief of musicians
and their families made destitute uy
the raYages of the German armies.
Kreisler is a type of foreigner who
should be encouraged. Those who
have been objecting to his appear
ance before American audiences
would better turn their attention to
the plottings of those aliens who
would destroy the United States
Government by plot and bomb.

Redistribution of Cities

From the Scranton Republican. ]
Former Judge Kelly's statement,
printed in yesterdays Republican,
d.scloses that the Commission, APP
pointed by the Governor to revise
the state constitution, will give care
full consideration to the reclassifica-
tion of cities desired by Scranton,
so as to separate it from the group
ing with Pittsburgh, which has
proved handicap for this munich
pality.
Judge Kelly says that the COM
mittee named by the Commission
to consider legislation, the Legis-
lature and executive has. in q partial
report, recommended an enlarge
ment of the classification OF cities
from three groups to five.
If this recommendation meets
with the approval of the Commits
sion, as we believe it will, and be-
comes a part of the fundamental
law of the state, which it will, il
properly presented to the people,
it will permit of placing Scranton
in a group that will allow it a
larger measure of home rule, which
will harmonic with it's needs and
still look TO essential economies in
administration.
The subject has been so fully dis
| cussed locally that everyone realizes
that Scranton has been embarrassed
and injured frequently, by the fact
that it is classified with the big city
of Pittsburgh. This arrangement
has led to unavoidable extrava-
gances that have increased taxes
and added to public burdens.
What excuse is there, in law or
reason. for clothing a city in q
municipal garment too large for it,
which is an obstacle TO legitimate
| progress.
The people have been very patient
in permitting this inequitable classi-
I fication to continue for such a long
term of years. The present oppor-
| tunity to secure better results should
| not hn parnitted tn mass

Improvement OF the paved streets
and repairs that are necessary will go
right along until the winter becomes
too severe for outdoor operations.
This might be a good time for City
Council to consider restrictions on the
weight of trucks. especially on the
driveway of the city. The boulevard
along the river is Harrisburg's most
famous drive and it is entirely proper
that it should be treated as a park
street and not as a truck highway
which it has become during the last
year or two. AS this driveway is part
of the William Penn Highway, it is
important and necessary that it be
given some protection from ruinously
heavy traffic.

TREE MORTALITY

" OUIS G. BALTIMORE, city for
ester, has worked out several
- very interesting comparisons
with respect to the shade trees OF
Harrisburg and the care they are
given.
He finds that while Springfield.
Mass, has one tree to every FIVE peo-
ple Hartford, Conn, has one to
| every ten people and Philadelphia
one to every twenty; while Harris
| burg stands up in the front ranks
with Detroit, Mich; Syracuse, N. Y,
and Washington, with one tree for
every three people.
That sounds all very fine, and 1t
would be but for the other side of
the ledger, whereon Mr.. Baltimore
shows that where Washington spends
$4,000 year on 100000 trees,
Syracuse $1,000 on $4,000 trees,
Philadelphia $4,000 on $4,000 trees
and Detroit s23,O00 on 100000 trees.
Harrisburg spends only $3.50 for the
care and upkeep of 5000 trees.
In other words, we like trees so
well that we plant many of them,
but we are supremely Indifferent to
their fate once they are in tho
ground.
A shade tree should be pruned at
least once every five years, and If
possible once every three years. Mr..
Baltimore figures that under the
present annual appropriation, Harris
burg's shade trees cannot be pruncd
once in fifty years. The average life
OF a city tree is forty years, oand, ac-
cording to our annual appropriation,
our trees could not be pruned once
in their whole period of life.
Harrisburgs citizens plant only
one tree to every ten that die, and
about sixty out of every one hun
dred planted by Harrisburg's citi-
zens die. Five trees out OF every
hundred planted by the Department
OF Parks die.
1t costs the citizen who plants n
tree purchased from an agent and
planted by him twice as much as it
would if purchased and planted by
the Department of Parks. A tree
planted by, the department is eight
times more apt to live than one
planted by the average planter.

Pe~~eqeSa~ia
BY the Ex-Committeeman

Meeting of the Republican Ma
tional committee at Washington last
week is taken by New York and Chi
cago newspapers, as well as those of
philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as the
real opening of the Republican cam
paign. The New York Sun and the
Chicago Tribune predict that there
VIII be some strenuous hunting for
delegates and intimate that the
Wood and Harding boomers will
come into Pennsylvania. The World
regards Senator p. &. Knox as Il
PENNSYLVANIA candidate. In Phila-
delphia the newspapers give consid-
cradle attention to Governor William
{. Sproul, who has also been ia
vorably mentioned by Baltimore and
Wilmington newspapers. The Wash
ington Star, which makes q specially
of political news from every State,
contained complimentary references
to the i'm mpression made by Governor
Sprouts speech at the National Capt.
tai.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, in the
course of Washington letter, has
this to say: ''In Pennsylvania there
has been considerab BILE talk of Sena-
tor Knox for the Republican Presi-
dental nomination, and a week ago
there was report of a movement TO
have the delegation instructed for
Senator Penrose, merely for the pur-
pose of preventing it from being
committed to one of the early con-
tenders. But now comes word from
Harrisburg of a real crystallization
of sentiment in favor of presenting
the name of Governor Sproul to the
National convention and of making
sincere effort to bring about his NOM
ination. Senator Penrose, it is init
mated, would be favorable to Sproul,
at least to the extent of having the
delegation instructed for him."
