DON'T PUT OFF PERSONAL REGISTRATION Registration officers will sit at burg this evening from 8 to 1 0 o'clock. Every voter who has not yet attended to the matter of personal registration THIS FALL should do so tonight. True, there will be one more day (October 19) for registering, but the voter who puts this important duty off untibrthe last minute will be taking a long chance on Register THIS EVENING YOUR VOTE. OH, RATS! The Cleveland school authorities lave forbidden teachers to wear hair puffs, otherwise known as "rats." Long before the aforementioned ichool authorities shall have discov ered how to enforce so foolish an or ier the "rat" will have been relegated to fashion's junk heap, and wise men will be confronted ivith some new problem in feminine idornment. Better let well enough "rats" ilone.

Many worse things might be 3aunted in the impressionable gaze 3f the Cleveland Fchool children. Meddlesome Mollyism in high places, for instance. TO SAVK TWO TKI STATE In its decision to fix a maximum salary limit of a month for Its baseball team, the Harrisburg Athletic Club is doing the only thing that Is possible to save the game in the territory of the Tri State League. For the last two seasons it has been clear to the business heads of the organization that the extravagant policy of the past could not be maintained without serious menace to legitimate sport in the smaller cities. With a limit of $3,000 there is assurance of just as good sport and no troubles about the finances.

The Harrisburg Athletic Club management is deserving of commendation for making a good fight against discouraging circumstances, and all the other clubs in the league will do well to follow the example of the Harrisburg association. Delegates and visitors are welcome to the best that Harrisburg affords during the sessions of the Independent Order of Americans. It's a patriotic fraternity, and this newspaper trusts its deliberations this week may be characterized by the greatest harmony and good fellowship. Some Important questions are up for consideration, and the delegates will have plenty to occupy them outside the social features of the meeting. It matters little to the people of the State, and probably also to those of Philadelphia, which of the fighting municipal, contractors gets the jobs over which there is apparently no end of controversy.

It would be a positive blessing, however, if the contractors and the newspapers at the junction of the Delaware and Schuylkill would give all the people a good, long rest. Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, has been a practical man all his life. His creation of a "Bureau of Information," by means of which immigrants on their arrival shall have official news of the best opportunities for work throughout the country, Is just the sort of thing a practical man would think of. The schools of the city should observe Flag Day. It Is highly important to inculcate In the rising generation duo respect for national institutions.

The influx of foreigners is causing growth of a spirit which nocds to be watched. The report of the serious illness of Rev. Dr. George S. Chambers causes much regret In Harrisburg.

The Doctor has been so prominent a figure in Harrisburg life that news from his bedsido will bo anxiously awaited. Annapolis certainly teems with the war spirit. When classes are not fighting each other their members from various sections of tho country figure in fisticuffs. Here's a new steamer coming in on the Austrian American lino with a broom at her mast head. This is cretainly a great year for ocean transportation.

Dixon and those associated with him, to stop the use of the streams of the State as open sewers. This policy should have been adopted long ago. For years the people have seen their fine water courses turned into foul channels of disease and death. It's high time to stop the pollution. Starting with the larger municipalities, it will not be difficult to prevent the nuisances which are causl by the smaller towns.

The New York clerk who invested in some real estate in that city a few years ago in what was then thought to be an undesirable section has just died, leaving his heirs some thirty millions, and of It one trifling bit, a city plot which was when this man took the property a blackberry patch, now yields a ground rent to his heirs of $30,000 per year. Harrisburg real estate is going to make hundreds and thousands of dollars for wise investors In a few years. It is now intimated that the supervisors of Susquehanna township have had their feelings lacerated by the newspaper references to their arbitrary course with respect to the improvement of the River road. Their feelings, however, have not suffered half so much as the bodies of those who have bumped over this alleged turnpike. If the unpaved sections of Front street had a little attention there would be less reason for the disagreeable comparisons that are too frequently heard regarding the principal drive of the city and other less prominent highways.

A few tons of gravel judiciously placed would be a great improvement. Visitors returning from the Jamestown Exposition say it's well worth seeing. That being the case, it is to be hoped that the good news will travel so rapidly that much of the patronage necessary to restore the disabled fortunes of the big show shall bo forthcoming during the remaining months of its existence. High prices of food products are not confined to the United States. In Great Britain there appear to be about the same conditions as here, land from other countries come simi ar reports.

Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwlck has suffered a nervous collapse in the Ohio penitentiary and blindness has resulted. Most of her victims were blind when she met them or soon after. The campaign for the legislation needed for Third class cities should not be postponed until the opening of the next Legislature, but should be waged with vigor from this time forth.

The Philadelphia Division Veterans, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, are in session today at Lancaster. Here's wishing them the time of their lives. If this rate war between the steamship companies keeps up, may bo we can all have a trip to Europe next summer. Tho young people will give the Park Commission and its efficient secretary a vote of confidence any time. Having laid out football fields, tho Park Commission can now sit on the sidelines and watch the fun.

Harrisburg real estate continues to bo the best. paying and safest investment in sight. Dead thousands seem to follow in the wake of the Black Hundreds In Russia. It is to the credit of the Capitol trimmers that they are apparently determined to submit to arrest, light 4 4 4 THE HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1907. REPUBLICAN TICKET STATES.

The effort to arouse the people of Pennsylvania to a state of mental flutter in 1907 over the election of a United States Senator In 1909 shows signs of petering out. Anyhow, the slump in iron and steel does not seem to have reached this far. Our mills are all humming this week. The ol3 Harrisburg Academy morning. opens again to morrow Still greater success to it.

After the Capitol prosecutions are begun, what are the Democratic news papers to do for campaign material? Don't fail to register tonight for the November election, if you have not already done so.

Demand for Game Laws The demand for the game laws is keeping the attaches of Dr. Kalb fus' division on the jump. So far over 3,000 have been issued, but there are four or five times that many applications for the booklets. To Attend Convention State Highway Commissioner Hunter and Assistant Beman will attend the big convention of autoists at Springfield, Mass. It will comprise the New England and most of the Middle States.

Rural Carriers Favor Roads The various conventions of rural mail carriers about the State hav given strong endorsement to the movement for good roads. Officials of the Highway Department who have attended the meetings have received many compliments for their work in improving highways. Inspectors Repin Work The two new Insurance Department inspectors who are to look after the licenses and other details of the business of the agents in the State, have started work. The rt suit is expected to be an increase in the number of applications for licenses.

Nominations Certified The nominations made at the June primaries were to day certified to the various counties of the State by Secretary of the Commonwealth Mc Affee so that the ballots can be printed. This does not preclude making of nominations by nomination papers, which can be certified until fourten days before election. Under the old law all nominations were certified by the State official at the same time, but it has been found that the time allowed was too short td get tickets printed and all details arranged. The law, however, does not change the provisions relative to nomination papers, which must be filed thirty five days before election, and exceptions can be filed so that the cases are decided before fourteen days prior to the election. This condition it is claimed, works a hardship on regular parties, as it gives independents a chance to nominate later.

The State officials will probably ask to have the law changoti along the lines of the bill which was defeated last winter. Dr. Klein Here State Veterinarian Pearson left this afternoon for counties in this western part of the State to investi gate a supposedly new disease of horses which has appeared in several places. The disease is said to resemble glanders. Dr.

Louis A. Klein of Lewistown, the new assistant veterinarian, came to the Capitol today with Dr. Pearson and went west with him. Dr. Klein, who has lately been stationed in abbatoirs in Philadelphia, has assumed his duties.

He is well qualified for the State inspection work, having been engaged in that line for the Federal government. To Test Dust Layer The State Highway Department is making preparations to test dust laying compounds on State roadr within a short distance of the Capitol, having started men to prepare the highway on the west bank of the Susquehanna running through the village of Wormleysburg. A preparation known as Tarvia will be placed on this road and its service and properties carefully noted. A stretch of road in Hampden township, leading from Mechanlcsburg toward this city, has been selected for testing with asphaltoilene, a product of Kentucky oils These roads will be oiled and observed by engineers, who will file reports with Commissioner Hunter. Still Returning Bills The Auditor General's Department has returned to counties a number of additional bills for primaries.

They were found to be incorrect, the charges not being in accord with the rates established by the department. State Police Aroused No action in months has so aroused the State Police as the murder of Trooper Kelleher at Reading. The entire troop about Reading is on a hunt for the murderers. To Inspect Water Supply The State Department of Health has sent men to inspect the water supply at Aspinwall, a town near Pittsburg. There is considerable typhoid in that neighborhood.

Township To Go The supervisors of North Whitehall township, Lehigh county, have determined to go ahead with the improvement of the roads in that district without waiting for State aid. The officials have purohased a complete road making outfit. Morn Auto Applications In spite of the fact that tho summer is closing there is a rush for licenses for autos and tho issue this year bids fair to break all previous records. To Ask P.ids On Tags Tho State Highway Department will shortly ask bids on furnishing auto tags for 1908. The color will be different from those now in use.

Caterpillars On Trees Reports received at the Department of Agriculture from the country districts of Lancaster count state that there is a pest of caterpillars on the trees in that county. Some of the insects have made a specialty of fruit trees. Trouble In Clover There are numerous wails being sent to State Zoologist Surface about weeds being in the clover fields of Montgomery and other counties in the Schuylkill Valley. The weed which is doing the damage is known as "dodder" and is proving costly. Evening Chat City Solicitor Seitz is about drafting the proclamation to the voters of the Sixth ward notifying them of the election for the division of the ward at the November election.

This proclamation will be the first of the kind ever made in the city and will state the proposed lines of division and the manner in which the people win vote on it. The election will be for the Sixth ward alone and the ballots will bear the note "For tho division" and "Against the division." The Mayor will issue the proclamation and it will be published and cop. ies posted on billboards in the ward. Should it carry, the court will divide the new we Js into precincts and the election for the new aldermen, councilman, school directors and constables with other officers will take place the following February. Should the proposition be voted down it cannot come up again for over threo years.

The lamest fish hnaUot in tu iti una tion of the State is placed in the Susquehanna near the Cumberland shore between piers of the Market street bridge. The dam, for that is what leads to the nliirp fnr tho ioott gins almost at the Cumberland 'side aim exienas practically to the island, having a series of steps.

"I think there will be little effert On retail sales nf rhnenlntn nanHloo but cakes of chocolate will not be so large as at present," remarked a Harrisburg candv man torlav about the effect of the increase in uie price or cocoa.

"One thing it Will do. and that Is rediiPA iha gains. I guess people will use noorer grades or else raise the price in wholesale transactions." It is queer what diverse views sportsmen have about the prospects for quail hunting, a reader of The Telegraph takes exception to a statement in these columns that quail will be scarce and declares that he has noticed many young birds in fields real close to the city and in the Cumberland Valley. On the other hand, railroad men say that they miss the calls of the birds in their customary places in the Juniata Valley woods and up in Northern Dauphin county. The State game officials assert that there will be plenty of quail.

The meeting of the Crusaders, an organization of Knights Templar, at the home of A. M. Rambo on South Thirteenth street this afternoon recalls the visit paid by the club to Europe in 1871. The trip was organized largely by Allegheny coun tians and Templars from all over the State spent the summer visiting places of historic interest in Europe. C.

The Reservoir Park golf course, wher the proposed tournament for the championship of the city is to be played next month, is one of the few public golf links in the country.

Owing to the fine shape in which the park Is always kept, the links are maintained at no extra expense, and for natural hazards few in this part of the state can beat them. The length of the course is 1,461 feet, a little more than a mile. Ex Judge Thomas S. Hargest is home from the Jamestown Exposition, where he spent a week or two. That place is really worth visiting said he.

"The water front is alone worth the visit, and the whole country is rich in historic interest. The exposition, while smIIer than some we have had lately, is, to my mind, creditable as a wholo.
