MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 28 One, on God's side, is a majority.— WKXDFX PHILLIPS. REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS STAND by the President," is a cry that has gone up froxn newapa- j pers of all political creeds all i over the land during the past few days—and the Telegraph echoes the j sentiment. But it is a sad commentary \ on conditions fit Washington thatl newspapers have to be appealing con- ! stantly for Presidential support—j begging Democratic votes from those I who might be expected to give them j as a matter of course to an adminis- j tration on which they depend for j patronage and to the underlying j principles of which they subscribed, before election. But blame for pres-1 ent chaotic conditions must not be | laid wholly upon Democratic congress- j men nor upon the influence of Bryan | In the national government. The | cause is fundamental. It lies in the j White House. Had the President at the very out- j ■set of hostilities in Europe informed J the warring powers precisely where< the United States stood as a neutral j nation and that any overstepping of our rights as outlined would result in un immediate severance of diplomatic relations, there never would have been it Lusitania incident nor any of the other indignities, injustices and out rages which have roused the coun try's blood to fighting pitch. Just now wo must stand by the j President, first because In the present I instance ho is unquestionably right, j and secondly because there must bo | loft no room for thought in Europe | that we in America are seriously di- j vided on a matter having to do with ! our liberties as citizens or our honor as a nation. That is why a great majority of Republicans at Washington—led by the venerable but courageous Lodge —are lined up solidly behind Presi dent Wilson. But because they are in j full accord with the President on this j particular issue must not be taken as | an indication that they have endorsed as a whole his conduct of our foreign ! affairs. Quite the contrary. They bit- I terly realize that it was Wilsonian \ blundering at the outsturt, and fre- j quently since, that has brought the country to its present pitiable state j among the governments of the world, and if they are following the adminis- j tration leadership at this time it is: because they see no other way to pre- j serve the few shreds of self-respect remaining to us. Like the English, in their present sad plight, we "must muddle through It some how," pinning our faith on the people to change leadership in November. But that's a matter of the future. Just now the Republicans in Congress are displaying qualities worthy of the best traditions of the party. At the risk of being misun derstood on the eve of a presidential election they have thrown partisan ship to the winds and have taken up the cudgels in support of their bitter est political opponent, because that is for the moment the patriotic thing to do. WINTER AMUSEMENTS BENJAMIN F. UMBERGER, for mer president of select council and member of the City Planning Commission, told the ex-councilmen at their annual banquet last week, that one of the great problems mu nicipal governments are now facing is the duty of improving citizenship by making living conditions better and eliminating crime. Mr. Umberger's remarks open a wide vista of possibil ities to the mlnd.'s eye, and we need go no farther than Harrisburg for illustrations of some of the things that ought to be done along this line; things which can be done and which must be done if we are to live up to our full duties as citizens. We in this city have done fairly well in the way public improve ments—much to make the municipal ity a pleasanter and a better place in which to live, much to increase happi ness and contentment among our people. We have provided good water, paved streets,• parks and sum mer recreation places. We have good schools and well conducted play grounds. We have occasional band concerts and city celebrations. We have done much by way of public expenditure to make summer days and evenings pleasant and whole somely enjoyable. But when cold MONDAY EVENING, HAREUSBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 28, 1916 weather comes tve shut .ur parks and our recreation places and tell our people, young and old, to go find their amusement where they may and as best they may. Now this is all very well for the well-to-do family, with its ample and delightful home surroundings. It is Jail very well for those who have the ; wherewith to provide for themselves, j But how about the thousands whose I homes scarcely may be called such? How about those who are crowded into more or less cheerless quarters and who have not the means to lind their social pleasures elsewhere in pleasanter surroundings, unless it be | amid the bright lights of the saloon jor the cheap dance hall? It is »here 'that the city should step In to' con jtinue during the winter the splendid I work it is doing through the park department in the summer. It may be contended that the Clark ! act, under which we operate, provides ! for no such Indoor amusements as those of social centers, or municipal ! dancing places, or bowling alleys or billiard rooms. And the reply is that there is small difference between a municipally conducted golf course or j tennis court outdoors and a billiard I table or bowling alley indoors. J There can be no question of the j need. One of the physicians of the I j county poor board, In conversation I with the writer a few days ago, said: I know of no one thing that would be more beneficial, morally and physically, than some form of a municipally conducted public amusements. such as dancing, bowling, billiards and the like, with reading rooms and public gathering places, the lighter forms of recrea- . Hon to be supplemented with con certs and lectures. If I could take you down Into the crowded quar ters where the poor meet socially, packed into 111-ventilated rooms too small for their uses, where chil dren and adults mix to the detri ment of both, where talk is often loose and rough and where vice and wickedness enter many a time un bidden and unrecognized until they have done their deadly work. 1 know you would agree with me that the city ought to turn its attention to providing meeting places and forms of wholesome amusement for hundreds who arc seeking social pleasures and tiding them where they should not. It is this man's conviction that much of the good accomplished in' the summer is lost during the winter. ] He believes that whole families would j go to city conducted places of an eve- j ning for basketball, for bowling, for! lectures, or merely to meet and chat j and read. People of all ranks mix | on the public golf links, on the tennis courts and in the parks, and, he! argues, common winter resorts would bring about the same results indoors, j Harrisburg has set the pace for \ cities everywhere in the way of public | improvements. Why not in this new and somewhat untried form of social I service ? MUNICIPAL BAND CONCERT THE Municipal Band will give a concert at the Orpheum theater j on Thursday evening of this' week. It has been a long time since j Harrisburg has had opportunity to | hear one of its own bands in winter | concert. It is to be hoped the j audience will be as large as the enter- ' prise of those back of the movement j deserves. In Tyrone the Pennsylvania Shop men's Band gives the most popular concerts of the winter season and al- j ways plays to -well-filled houses. There is no reason why Harrisburg J should not have two or even three first-class concert bands. Years ago: the Commonwealth band was able to j do what the Municipal is now at tempting. All that is needed to add another charming feature to winter diversions in Harrisburg is public | patronage. Will the Municipal band I get it? It's up to you. _ ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE SAYS Frederick Palmer, just re turned from a long period along the buttle line in France and in j the French and Etfglish capitals, writ- 1 : ing for Collier's Weekly: War cannot change the law of j | supply ami demand. Europe will inevitably go out into the markets t j of the world to meet the demand witli cheaper goods because she must sell goods in order to restore 1 the trade balances. The men who j survive in Europe will still have I their brains, their skilled hands, I their power of industry and organi zation. These are the things that must succeed in the world We must expect a hungry and eager Europe, in the reaction of i peace, turning i*very penny she can to account. She will be building new passenger steamers to carry the shoals of tourists to see the trenches. She will flood our mar ! kets. Instead of the United States being able to sit back and enjoy the great start she has made, owing to her security and peace in this war. she will have to face the sharpest <i>mpi'tltlon she has ever known. For the man who is broke will work J harder for a dollar than the man who has ten dollars in the savings bank. Says a news dispatch from Berlin: Ambassador Oerard. it is re ported. is convinced that Europe is preparing to flood America with cheap products at the end of the I war, to the detriment of American | industries. Here we have the opinions of two | keen observers possessed of "inside" | information. Both are convinced that ! America is to be flooded after the war with the cheap labor products of Europe;. ! There is nothing new in the j thought. Most Americans were con- I vinced of that long ago. The con-. ! elusions of the Ambassador and the war correspondent are merely in the | nature of additional evidence from j authoritative sources. There is just one remedy tlve i restoration of a protective tariff by j a Republican Congress and a Re [ publican President. THE MINISTER'S PLACE PRESIDING ELDER HEIL told the United Evangelical Confer ence in session here, during the course of his annual report on con- I ditlons in the district, that while the professional evangelist may be a help ' ful influence in church growth, he can : never take the place of the evange- I listic minister. Unquestionably this is j true, and he might have added that the professional evangelist goes far beyond any requirement when ho tears ! to shreds the reputations of devoted ; local ministers and holds them up to i the ridicule of people among whom they must work long after the tran j .jient has tukyi his fat and llowu. No, the professional evangelist can never take the place of the minister who labors for a pittance and gives his life in humble application to arduous duties, and it is a question if the high favor in which the traveling evangelist is now held will not soon wane. | TELEGRAPH'S PERISCOPE^ —"B'at figures are the fashion," says a style magazine.

THE SEARCHLIGHT THE ELECTRIC KITCHENETTE A model electric kitchenette recently exhibited In New York Is likely to find its way into a large number of apart ments and homes. All of its conveni ences are compactly arranged In a space ten feet long and 2% feet wide. It contains an electric range with oven, a dishwasher, washing machine, ironing stand. vacuum cleaner. Ice cream freezer, a refrigerator and a sanitary garbage can. The washing machine only occupies the room of an ordinary stationary tub. The space below constitutes the white ' enameled refrigerator. The Ironing board drops down from the wall and is hooked up when not. in use. The dish washer comes next to the washing ma t chine and the ice cream freezer is plac. :ed below it. The current utilized in dishwashing can also be attached to the crank of the freezer. Storage space for cooking utensils enough to prepare a course dinner for twelve persons Is also provided. The kitchenette is built to open along its entire length. It is fitted with special curtains to harmonize with the adjoining room and lined with a white enamel like ma terial. RAISING TOY HOUSES Atlanta, Ga., has a new Industry In j the breeding of miniature horses for children's pets. The animals are of | j various sizes, some of them consider- J ; ably smaller than the Shetland ponies I from which they are descended. They I are better looking than the original stock and are said to be even more gentle and tractable. | Before the ponies are sold they have to be carefully broken and trained both j for riding and driving. Several small boys, who are employed to assist in this training, are the envy of the many 1 childish visitors who go out to the pony farm. Although a comparatively recent I development, the toy horses from At- j . lanla are well known to horse breed- I ers. The number ordered for Christ- ! j mas presents far exceeded the supply, ! and the little animals were shipped to 1 all parts of the country. Their price j ranges from sls to SSO. according to ; their size, age and individual charaeter ! istics. LABOR AND~LITERACY [New York Times.] i The Burnett Immigration Bill, j which makes literacy the test of the admissibility of aliens to the United j States, comes up in the House of Rep- \ resentatives this week. With some j primings and changes, it. is in sub i stance the same measure which Mr. ITaft and Mr. Wilson \etocd, and for | cause. -Presumably, Mr. Wilson is of the same mind in regard to it as he I was when it was sent to him by the | Sixty-third Congress. Is a two-thirds : vote to overrule the expected veto | obtainable In the Sixty-fourth? ■ There is no doubt about the disposi | tion of the Senate. More than two i thirds of the Senators will cheerfully j apply to aliens a test t hat most of them would not apply as a qualifica tion for citizenship in their States. Mr. Burnett may or may not. be too rosy in his arithmetic, but he reckons up the House an more than two to one for the bill. Tills is the third trial. This time the advocates of this means of restricting the supply of labor are sure-—-but they have been sure before—that they have a two thirds vote In both branches of Con- I gress and can veto a veto. 1 OUR DAILY LAUGH LONG DISTANCE WAR v.

E. Beldleman said to-day that when his petitions for renomination which are now In cir culation over the county are all re turned they will show a majority of all the voters of Dauphin county as sign ers. Already the total number of names approaches the 15,000 mark and there are still something like 400 petitions still to be received. This is unprecedented in the history of the State aenatorship In this county and, it Is said, will assure Senator Beldle man's renomination without oppo sition. It is understood that in a few days definite announcement, of support for Senator Beldleman will be made from sources that hitherto have been regarded as opposed to his candidacy. —Augustus Wildman, who made his formal announcement as a candidate for re-election to the Assembly from the city district through the news papers oii Saturday, also has many signers to his petition and said this morning that lie "is much pleased with the progress of his campaign." —The State Republican headquar ters have been removed from their old rooms in Philadelphia to the former residence of John G.

Nevin Detrlch, Chambersburg. —The Republican and Democratic parties will elect twelve delegates-at large and twelve alternates-at-large to their national convention, the appor tionment being two delegates and al ternates for each United States sen ator and each representatlve-at-large. The Progressive apportionment pro vides for just half of that number. —John W.

M. C. Campbell, of Oakmont, who has represented the district for two terms, and J. Ren Wylle, of Wilklnsburg, who served in the last Legislature. Mr. Hanna has served sixteen years con tinuously as a member of the North Braddoek school board, and when his present term expires he will have com pleted nineteen years' service. HOW TO Livir LONGER ACTIVITY—UtiIe 15 —The mind and the body work together. The mind has a strong effect on the health of the body. A tit of anger, or a spell of worry, or envy, or hate, or jealousy may make you more tired than a hard day's work. Try to drive out the thoughts that make you unhappy by thoughts that make you happy. Say to yourself of your worry, "Forget it." It is hard to do this, but you can learn, just as you learned to read and write, or to ride a bicycle, or to skate. Do not make hard work of being healthy. If you worry about It you will not be healthy. Lay down certain rules and follow i.iem the best you can until you get used to doing them. Do not hurry If you can help It. Start to your work a little earlier in the morning and take your time. You will not be tired when you get there and you will work better. Take your time going home at night. You will enjoy your supper more and sleep better. Then you will do better work the next day and will be happier in your work. We all want, many tilings, but we must not want them so hard that it will strain our minds and bodies to get them. Take your life and your work cheerfully. When you learn to do this, you will he happier and you will get more of the things you want. Almost any one can do this if he makes up his mind to do It.

Haskin L J SHAKESPEARE i« going to con test the center of the stage this year with the preparedness problem, the presidential nominations and the European war. On April 2n he will have been dead three hundred years, but he is still a live issue. lie represents at present about the only bond between England and Ger many. True, the bond is something like a rope in a tug-of-war with both parties pulling as hard as they can in opposite directions, but it holds. According to late advices from Berlin, several Shakespeare courses are still being pursued in German schools and colleges, with particular reference to the three hundredth anniversary of the poet's death. Some German writ ers advocate taking Shakespeare out of the German"textbooks. Others have been at some pains to prove that he belongs to Germany as much as to England. Although, he Is almost as much a bone of contention as the Belgian treaty. Plans for celebrating the tercenten ary were begun by Sliakespeare-lov ers and Shakespeare societies more than ten yeaqp ago. The original in tention was to unite the whole world in a universal memorial festivity. Cir cumstances have altered cases until the idea is no longer practicable, but each of the great countries, even Ja pan, will observe the occasion in its own way. The anniversary will be ade quately recognized here in the United States, perhaps because there is less to take the public mind off the subject. You will find that you can hardly get through the year 1916 without sitting through a few Shapespeare programs, i Banquets, public meetings, plays and pageants wilt be the chief features of 'the celebration. The Drama League |of America is taking the lead in ar ranging the pageants and plays. Sim plicity will be the keynote of the stag ing. so that the only qualification for putting on some bit of a dramatic tri bute to the dramatist is the necessary amount of enthusiasm. In Shakes peare's own day they told the audience what, the scene was by hanging a sign on the wall. The public schools of this country will tackle the tercentenary in mass formation. At least fifty thousand of them will hold special exercises in Shakespeare's honor on April 23. Some are to stage very elaborate programs, that they are working on now. and have already been working on for some time. Out in North Dakota there is a school twenty miles from a railroad where the teacher has been prepar ing for months a program of three plavs for the local celebration. The children have caught the touch of her | THE STATE FROM D/Y TO Dffl" It is not necessary to travel to Spain or Mexico or any other coun try where toreadors hold sway when we have bull-throwers and fighters right, here in our own State. John Boyer, a farmer of. Lower Augusta township, near Sunbury had a battle royal with a mad bull on Saturday that for excitement and danger was the real thing. The tines of a piteh- ( fork were the modern matador's only k weapon, and to save his life and to restore the goat which one news paper said the bull had obtained from the farmer (figuratively speaking) his son shot the bull. A premium has been placed upon leap year proposals in Wilkes-Barre! Alderman Lewis of that city has agreed to marry free of charge ail girls who can prove that they had more nerve than their beloved and actually as well as indirectly caused the question to be "popped." We shall see whether the female of the species is less of a dead one than the male. Somnambulism proved the down fall of one Morrip Berrens, a foundry- . man living in Pottstown, who was! found yesterday in a vacant lot on | the outskirts of town, frozen to death.

That Dakota teacher has the true spirit of the ter centennial celebration—she is bring ing the bigness of Shakespeare to peo ple who knew him only by nan«\ The Shakespeare interest is coloring the whole course of study in many schools this year. History classes are specializing on the Elizabethan period. English classes are analyzing the dif ferent forms of Shakespearian compo sition. Art students are designing color scheme and costumes for the pageants and plays. Girl's sewing classes are making the costumes, and the manual training departments are turning out stage furniture. Com missioner of Education Claxt'on is is suing a circular letter to school super intendents all over the country urging frequent Shakespeare programs not only throughout the rest of the Spring term, but also after the schools re open in the Fall. Many of the more advanced schools have traditions to maintain in the matter of Shakespeare. The plays presented by the Washington Irving Iligh School in New York have won commendation from well-known dra matic critics. The Boston schools are going to give both plays and pageants, which are expected to come up to a high standard. In Washington, D. C., the celebration will be made part of the Commencement exercises, and dif ferent schools will co-operate. Three white schools will combine on one I Shakespeare pageant, and two color !ed high schools together will produce j another. Besides the schools, every American organization that takes 3n interest in literary work will contribute in some way toward national observance of the tercentenary. Women's clubs are putting Shakespeare to the front in their literary meetings, and in several cities they are trying to get Shakes peare films run at the local picture theaters. The tercentenary has lent Shakes peare a fresh impetus as a source ot material for the movies. Several com panies are now giving their entire time to the reproduction of Shakespeare drama, so that before the end of 1916 you will probably be able to see any one of his plays on the screen. Some of the 1 finest technical work of the movies, both in playing and filming, has been done in producing Shakes peare's plays. Sucli of them as have been released in the past have almost invariably proved strong drawing cards for the movie theater. The same qualities that filled the old "Globe" in 1600 fill the nickelodeons to-day.

Buller, State commissioner of fisheries, that brown trout be used to stock the streams which were formerly known for "good trout" places, but which the speckled beauties have forsaken. In' this county there are several streams which within the memory of some res idents of Harrisburg were noted for the quality of the trout fishing they afforded but which have not known the shifty charr for many years. This is due, as Is the case with a number of formerly noted trout streams in York, Lebanon, Perry and Cumber land counties, t- the denuding of the banks of trees and brush and the con sequent warming of the water to an extent that the familiar brook trout cannot stand. It is believed that brown trout would thrive in some of the streams in this county because they are secluded ajid offer plenty of food for the trout, although the water is warmer than liked by the brook trout. Some experiments have been made with brown trout in Cumber land county and while the brown fish is not as gamy as the brook trout, yet lie can, put up a pretty stiff tight es pecially when one has light tackle. Good catches have been made from streams which had been stocked with brown trout, showing that they trived in brooks which the other trout would not Inhabit. The brown trout is also to be. caught in warmer weather than the brook trout, can he secured. * » • David T. Watson, the eminent Pitts burgh lawyer, who died at Atlantic City a few days ago, was well-known to this city as he had appeared in a number of big tax cases and before the Supreme court and various State boards. He was of the counsel for the State in the preparation of the equity suits growing out of the State Capitol furnishing Investigation. He did not take part in any of the trials, but w as In charge of certain phases oL' the civil actions whereby the State re covered over a million dollars. • • • The cold wave which hasbeen surg ing up and down over this part of tlie State in the last week or so has taken away all fears of a shortage of ice this summer and the way It is being cut and stored is worth while noting. Some tine ice is to be had within a short distance of this city and care fully protected sources of supply are now furnishing many carloads for storage against next summer's ice cream. • • » It might also be added that the cold weather has driven a good many crows right into the city for food. Crows ex ist in the country in far greater num ber than the average city dweller sus pects and when there is much snow or the cold is so intense that the black | coated birds cannot get their usual food they turn to the city outlots. Crows have been seen in the upper and eastern ends of the city taking rather an interest in garbage, and dumps. * * * A Harrisburg man, coming from New Haven the other day, remarked upon the fact that, things happen in bunches, even on trains. Some jour neys are deadly; everyone is unin teresting; nothing exciting happens, and the end of the trip is looked for ward to with much anticipation. On this journey, however, things hap pened constantly. For several hours a portly Irishman in the end of the car sang Irish ditties and a smaller and weaker-voiced friend made valiant but unsuccessful efforts to accom pany him, for this latter, it must be admitted, was a close pal of John Barleycorn's and had but recently spent certain hours in his company. After a time the attention of the carfull ot' people' added courage to his pleasant humor and he began lo say good-by to his friend and make speeches. The next hour, while very distasteful to many, was not without its funny side, and the diversion kept the passengers interested, if not edi fied by the eccentricities of the per former. The next part 5f the program was found in the person of a very ofticious and important appearing little lawyer, who had been in the wreck which occurred at Milford on Tues day morning, and he wanted every body to know about It. Conductor and passengers alike received his valuable explanations and it was with a sigh of relief that he was seen safely off tlie train at. a station some dis tance below Bridgeport. • • • Men interested in politics are of tlio opinion that except, in the cities and in some of the counties where there are special reasons there will be no extensive filing of nominating peti tions beyond the number required to put a name on the ballot. The papers will be signed, but in many cases they may be retained by candidates as evi dences of the regard in which he is held. | WELL KNOWN PEOPLE*") —Bishop J. F.
