MAT 20 THE FOSTOFFICE BILL CONGRESSMAN OLMSTED'S bill for the enlargement of the Federal building in this city has been reported favorably by the subcommittee of the House committee on public buildings and grounds and he Is quite confident that the whole com mittee will approve the measure. In which case it la pretty certain to pass Congress.

No city anywhere is more entitled to consideration in the matter of Improved facilities for transacting the business of the postal service than Harrisburg. It has grown by leaps and bounds and the enlarging of the postoffice Quarters is absolutely necessary to the efficient transaction of Uncle Sam's postal business here. Notwithstanding two carrier stations have been established one In the eastern and the other in the western section of the city within two or three years, there is still great necessity for Increased space and modern conveniences In the Federal building. Sufficient time has been given to the consideration of the paving ordinance by councilmen and property owners to Justify Immediate action and the revised ordinance, should be ready for passage at the next meeting of Councils. This city must maintain its splendid reputation as the best paved city in the United States and ought not to be any backward movement in any part of Harrisburg.

The summer camps for girls conducted by the W. A. should be well patronized. Aside from the thought of the money, to be saved, they provide wholesome recreation and perfect rest beside which life at the average summer resort, appears like hard work. THE COLLEGE SPENDER AS the Scranton Truth aptly Remarks in a jocose paragraph, the Harvard student who says he has solved the problem of living on fifteen cents a day Is entitled to a degree.

Certainly such economy Is not usual In our larger universities. The average student seems to have an Idea that to be provident, to make one's life conform to' one's Income, to get the greatest possible amount of learning in return for the money being expended upon his education, Is rather discreditable. "How can I get a larger check out of dad next month?" Is a more absorbing topic for study with most college men than can I give dad the largest dividends on his Investment In me this month In any other branch of life, the financial creed, far too oommon among the student bodies of our educational Institutions, would bo dishon est A mining promoter whose money morals were no higher would be In danger of arrest But the student la not dishonest about It He la merely the victim of long precedent and a corrupted publio opinion In his small, preparatory world. The sentiment which his own fathers left at college has taught him that "college Jife" does not merely mean books and midnight lucubrations. The opportuntie8 for social Intercourse, he maintains, are as important In the development of character as the publlsh ed curriculum.

From this defensible position to the Indefensible slighting all hard work for sociejty, games and gaiety and the disproportionate xpendituro it entails is an easy step. Attar cttt. It la unfair to Do too m. THE HARRTSBURG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1910. OUR PER CAPITA WEALTH In complaining about the showing Erie makes, the Daily Times of that city directs our: attention to a special report just issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor, which calls for quite the opposite kind of comment from Harrisburg's point of view.

This report has to do with the assessment of cities having a population of 30,000 and over in 1907. While the figures for the current year will be somewhat different, when both population and assessment will have been increased, it is to be presumed that their relative positions will not be greatly changed. From the long list, the Daily Times chooses these cities of our own class CITY. Somerville, Mass Savannah, Ga. Duluth, Minn.

Norfolk, Va. Hoboken, N. J. Schenectady, N. Y.

Waterbury, Ct Bait Lake City, Tf. Wllkes Barre, Pa. Erie, Pa. Houston, Tex. Taeoma, Wash.

Harrlnburg, Pa. Portland, Me Youngstown, Fort Wayne, Ind It will be observed that in per capita valuation, Harrisburg stands eighth in the list and it should be noted that four out of the seven cities above us base their assessment on a 100 per cent, valuation wheras ours is based on a 60 per cent, valuation, as is Erie's, also. The following comparison of funds raised on the basis of city assessment for school purposes is even more creditable to Harrisburg, which stands fourth in a list of cities arranged according to census figures of 1907. Duluth, Minn $496,344 Peoria, 111 234,902 Evansvllle, Ind 228,466 Salt Lake City, V. 436,207 Wllkes Barre, Pa.

24111 Erie 180,165 These figures show that no schools during 1907 than we did, liberal than four of the seven larger cities given. The Telegraph condoles with vere in our criticism of the man who gets something for nothing. We could hardly expeot him to value it very highly. The Harvard boy who lives on fifteen cents a day probably receives no check from dad, but we venture to say that if he survives his rigid economies he will have more to show for them when he reaches th6 business or professional world than many of his Irresponsible classmates who have allowances of 115 a day. Harrisburg has had a temporary setback in the matter of the transfer of headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows to this city owing to a charter provision, but the sentiment of the fraternity In Pennsylvania is clearly favorable to a change of base and It is reasonable to suppose that the Supreme Lodge will mafya the change at its next session.

Republicans are not likely to be seriously disturbed by the efforts of the enemy to stir up factional trouble. Petty differences cannot be magnified into serious party demoralization. TRESPASS tJT RAILROADS doubt there will be a good deal grumbling about the attitude taken by the Pennsylvania Rail road company In. regard to trespassing on Its Rockvitlo and Swatara creek bridges, but the Telegraph believes the company's position to be sound. Railroad bridges are not constructed for any other kind of traffic, and they are decidedly unsafe for pedestrians.

Trestles are often short cuts to death, and although It may not Interfere seri ously with a railroad schedule to brush off a victim occasionally, it is decidedly to the credit of the Pennsyl vania railroad management that It has chosen to put Itself to some trouble and expense In order to prevent this needless slaughter. A railroad track is no place for sauntering and a most perilous highway. The more these steel paths of the locomotives are shut In, the better It will be for the public Even those who risk life and limb In order to save a few steps by trespass recognize, this fact and must eventually endorse the company's at titude. Already the beautiful River park is being occupied every pleasant day and evening by hundreds of people. Should there be any doubt anywhere as to tho Importance of placing the river frontage throughout tho length of tho city In presentable shape for the enjoyment of the people? The African Methodist Episcopal conference's tribute to the late Dr.

William Howard Day was well deserved. He was a man any race might be proud to own. Let's console ourselves with the thought that It wasnt because the Odd Fellows liked Philadelphia better. Six cars in tho Norristown auto run finished with perfect road scores. "We've got 'em beaten by two.

JIBE ORLADY IS I Huntingdon Man Would Make Strong Run, Say Friends AN OPEN FIELD Cumbler and Row Meet With General Favor in the County The name of George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon, one of the judges of the Superior Court has been frequently mentioned for the Republican nomination for the governorship In the last few days.

The mention has come entirely from his friends, as it is doubtful whether the Judge would care to leave the congenial position of Judge of the appellate court to engage In the turmoil of a political campaign. Judge Orlady is one of the best known men in Pennsylvania and exceedingly popular, while coming from a center where there are no geographical objections to him. He has been a member of the Superior Court ever since the creation of that tribunal. LangBtt's Withdrawal The withdrawal of 'Senator Joseph A. Langfitt, of Pittsburg, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for senator has caused considerable surprise.

Langfitt has gone to Canada to fish and declares that he is out of the race to stay. It is rumored that he got caught in one of the factional quarrels in Allegheny. The withdrawal of the numerous Republican candidates for the congressional nomination in the Westmoreland Butler district has caused things to be materially straightened out and it is expected that there will be no difficulty about electing a Republican. Expect Large Crowds Hotel men are anticipating a large attendance at the State convention on June 22 and dozens of rooms have been engaged in the last ten days. Most of the hotel parlors have been taken for headquarters by men who have made tentative engagements for the housing of booms.

W. Harry Baker, secretary of the State committee, has rented the Board of Trade for the meeting of the State committee the day before the convention and will have State committee headauarters at the nnmmmraMith The details of the gathering are' all inl nana. Judging from hotel requisitions, many of the people who will attend will be here as early as Sunday. Well Satisfied Representative Charles C. Cumbler, of and Charles DeVeny Row, of Williamstown, who made a tour of the county's lower end yesterday, are well satisfied with the outlook for their nomination as the legislative candidates of the Republicans in the Second district Mr.

Cumbler'sH record in the last House is greatly in his favor and Mr. Row made a favorable Impression. The two canddiates will visit other sections to meet the voters. City dommittee Changes its Rules The Republican city committee last night adopted the proposed changes to the rules made necessary by the constitutional amendments and discussed the political outlook. The meeting was attended by considerably over a majority of the members, every ward being represented, and City Chairman H.

F. Oves and others made addresses. Mr. Oves explained that by reason of the amendments the committeemen would be selected in June Instead of February. The members will work hard for the return of Republican members to the Legislature.

A Promise. Tar "What Is it, my child?" "When sis marries that lord will I hava to call her "your "It will not be necessary for you to do eo, but it will be very nice if you care to." "All right Mebby I won't always do It, but I'll promise not to call her punkin' face' any more, anyhow." Philadelphia Record. HOW DINED Down in the court house, Deep in dusty files. Is the habitat of Harry, Man of legal wiles. This one is deputy prothonotary and has writs for breakfast and rules for luncheon.

He dotes on the ad sectum and is familiar with narrs. Levari facias, fieri facias and their kind have no terrors for him and he handles the habeas corpus without mittens. He will welcome a judgment and Joys in taxing costs. Dockets, records and argument lists ire hit dully stamping ground ind he issues summons, praecipes and replevins as though he liked to do it. Further more it might be stated that he has been, putting the law through its paces in the prothono tary's office ever since 1888, having been captured alive on the banks of the Swatara creek by William H.

Ul rich when he was elected prothonotary and tamed to run the office. Successive prothonotarles have come and gone, but Henry F. Hollar, Harry to a generation of lawyers and Mr. Hollar to the coming John Marshalls and John Bannister Gibsons, remains. Mr.

Hollar knows the office like the indices of the appearance dockets and can dig you out the report of a board of viewers on a road in Lower Paxton township as easy as finding an opinion by Calvin Blythe, who was Judge in the thirties. He is as regular as the Reading railroad and when he got appendicitis he the office into a panic. Some one of these days he will be prothonotary himself and will sit up under the Judge and call jurors. The rhododendrons on the Federal building lawn are now in bloom and are attracting much attention from visitors to the city. The bushes are covered with buds and the floral.

display will probably last for sometime. The delicate colors have been greatly aamirea. The councilmanic touring party which inspected the streets DroDOsed to be paved, attracted much attention in some of the smaller highways yesterday afternoon. Clerk to Select Council J. Herman Knlsely acted as guide for one of the automobiles, at tir'ed in a racy automobile coat.

Over in the Seventh ward Mr. Knlsely was hailed by a kid who called: "Pipe de guy in de bpggin' suit" Dame Luna is commencing to rival the late Mr. Halley's comet in popular attention Just now. The moon will begin its show on Monday evening, when it will go into total eclipse. This condition will permit of a view of the comet in the northwestern sky with fine effect.

If the night be clear, and the river front will afford a fine chance to see the visitor from space. Some of the high school students are making arrangements to use the telescope on Monday night. There were more generals, colonels and other National Guard officers here last night than at any time since the inauguration, because of the opening of the camp of instruction at Mt. Gretna today. Generals Dougherty and Hullngs were among those who were in the city and discussed the coming camp with much Interest.

Two of the trees which attract most attention in Capitol park are the copper beech and the giant boxwood. They are located on either side of the main entrance of the capitol, Just at the edge of the plaza. The copper beech is now in the glory of Its early coloring and Is visited by many people daily. The boxwood tree is twelve feet high, the largest in Harrisburg, and is said to be over 70 years old. Federal Judge John B.

McPherson, of Philadelphia, formerly of this city, was a visitor to Harrisburg yesterday. He cam here on business and met a number of friend3, who were very glad to see him.

and Mrs. C. Q. McWilliams, of Shamokin, were here last night, being on a tour of the southern part of the State in an automobile. A good story Is being told of some home mission work in a certain part of the city.

One girl had appeared to be very much interested and a kind hearted person gave her a pair of shoes and stockings. The next meeting the girl showed up wearing one stocking. Inquiry developed that she was using the other as a basis for a large pompadour.
