Halted Business Office. JO. SMttorial Room 58S. Job Seat, lot FRIDAY EVEXIXG, APRIL IS IT NECESSARY? I HERB should be the strongest and most convincing reasons to justify any increase of the school ttax rate at the present time. If the rate Is based upon any Increased expenditure which might have been postponed or avoided altogether, then the directors are without justification or excuse and the decision to add a half mill, bringing the school tax within one roll! of the total tax for all other city purposes, should be reconsidered.

At a time when individuals, business firms and corporations are retrenching In every direction It suggest a lack of good Judgment to Increase the expenditures of the school district. This newspaper has always advocated and still advocates the introduction of domestic science as one of the important branches for the schools of the city and it has favored every advanced step of the school district in the way of providing facilities for the practical education of the youth of Harrlsburg; but under existing circumstances, with business conditions inviting the most careful thought of conservative men, it strikes the average citizen of Harrlsburg as a remarkable lack of consideration for the taxpayer to increase his burden by including items which, might have been postponed until a more favorable period. Of course, the total of the ex pendltures is made up of a number of Items, some of which are absolutely required under the operation of the new school code, but the purchase of euch supplies as might have been avoided and the provision for additional supervisors when the schools have been getting along under prosperous conditions with two such officials and other Items of expense constitute a disregard of conditions which ha invoked a storm of criticism! today. For instance, is it necessary to have three additional supervisors? Is It necessary to make certain changes in textbooks at this particular time? Is it advisable to introduce domestic science in the course Just now? These are questions which people are asking to day and these are the questions which must be answered by the school directors. On tho face of the budget there Is much that seems desirable and necessary, but it would seem possible to have avoided in some legitimate way any increase of taxation this year.

Shades of the common people and a host ef dollar dinners! Bryan now sport a footman. Truly the year have wrought changes in him who was not so very long ago the Boy Orator of th Platte and the great Commoner. WORTH WHILE NO one In Harrlsburg can seriously object to the recommendation of the finance committee of the school board that 15.000 of the revenue of the school district bej appropriated toward the malnte nnce of the new public library. The library has been in operation Just three months and in that time over 80,600 persons have taken ouf book amd approximately of thl number have been pupils of the pub ite schools. Over 10.000 parson hav gone to the library to read or study Last year the school board gave $8,000 for the maintenance of the library.

This year an increase of O00 was asked. Members of the board visited the library, examined its system and went over its finances. The board is represented among the trustees by one of its members and the principal of. the high school is also a tatich interested trustee. The People of Harrlsburg war given a library building commended by every authority on euch matters as modern, beautiful and adequate, and funds that will yield about $4,000 aumnally toward operating expenses through the of a public spirited woman.

The library was opened in the first week of January and its circulation of books has bean at fate ef almost 11,000 per month. use by school children has been nrprlse even to those observing 11. tltsr 'is2u and it Is a repository FRIDAY EVENING. (or the beat Juvenile literature that can be found. Everything about the library Is free.

The finance committee of the achool authorltlei never provided for a Tet ter investment than by the recommendation of $5,000 to help: keep the library running for the benefit of the people and especially of the children who will be the men and women of to morrow. The wan who once wanted "to knock Bryan into a cocked hat" now confines himself to kicking planks out Wf the Democratic platform. Newspapers report that head of the Missouri Ice Trust are sore because they have been lined 50,000 by the courts. That's what the Ice prices will do next summer soar. SUBWAY POSTPONED AS the result of a conference with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company' officials, it is announced that tho construction of a subway at Division street, to provide an entrance to Wlldwood Park, ts out of the question at this time, it is intimated, however, that the railroad company is willing to provide some sort of an overhead bridge at this point, with the understanding that a subway may come later.

Under the severe retrenchment policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company it Is quite likely that the subway must wait more favorable con dltlons, but without rancorous controversy or any unreasonable attitude on the part of the city, it Is manifestly evident that provision must be made In the near future for thla improvement. We believe that the railroad company owes it to the city to Include such an item in its next budget of expenditures for Harrlsburg. Until recent years this subway was unnecessary, but since the opening of Wild wood Park and the rapid Increase of population northward It Is absolutely essential. We doubt whether It is worth while to waste funds on a makeshift bridge of any kind, but under no circumstances must such a makeshift be allowed to postpone for any considerable time the construction of the needed subway. We believe the people of the western section of the city through their civic organizations, cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce and the City should continue their work, 'riot with a view to harrassing the railroad company, but simply to urge and insist upon a subway at Division street The railroad agent Who was an "insidious lobbyist" in the early days of the administration has become in these times of Panama Canal disputes the "patriotic friend of the President" But he still draws his salary from the railroads.

TEMPERAXCE SEXTEMEXT TEMPERANCE sentiment is aroused throughout Pennsylvania as it never was before. The local option forces are arrayed In strength that gives them every nromise of victory at the next session of the 'Legislature. Practically every legislative candidate that has so far announced himself has made local option one of the main planks in his platform. The gubernatorial candidates of all parties are pledged to It It is the old, old demonstration of the people getting what they want We hear very much of "bosses" and "boss ridden" legislatures, but in the end the voter gets the laws on which his heart is set Whenever public sentiment is sufficiently aroused on any subject to take a majority of the votlne DODulace to the polls for the purpose of expressing their sentiments upon it, that subject becomes a vital Issue in the elections and in the deliberations of the legislators to follow; and woe be to the man who betrays the trust of his constituents. Local "option is no more desirable to day than it was a decade ago, but more people now believe It to be desir able and in that lies tho present wide spread interest and also in that will lie the interest of the next Legisla ture in the matter.

The action of that Legislature along temperance lines deDcnds largely on how many voters will place local option above all other matters at the polls In November. That the issue will be squarely drawn is very evident from the attendance of more than 8,000 people of Harrlsburg and all parts of the State here to lay plans forhe coming campaign. The Philadelphia Record say that on account of the ravages of tree pests "it will be necessary to strip Boston Common." How shockingly immodeatl ROOM FOR THE DREAMER a a recent noon day luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce il a speaker made the assertion that "it is not favored location nor fair climate that makes a city grow, but the fact that it has in its citizenship the man with the vision." Bald he: It Is the dreamer that Is back "of all material progress. There never was developed anything that waa not first born in the mind of a man with a vision. What made.

your town of Hersbey with Its prosperous Industries? A man with a i dream of a world market and the strength, of will and character to make his dream come true. The same may be said of many cities whose marvelous growth haa been the aubject of wonder for those who have not looked back of the circumstance for the dreamer. Harrlsburg ha gone far in the past fifteen years. That this is so Is largely due to the fact that it has had among its people men and women who have dreamed dream and made them come true. We have been blessed beyond measure in this.

Recently there has been apparent a tendency in the other direction. In our desire to be "practical" we art In danger of relegating to the rear the "man with the. forgetful that the builder is seldom an architect and that no oon tractor undertakes the ereotion. of a building without first consulting th carefully designed plan of the "dreamer' the mas wfceMr ision of the completed structure in .1 miud's eye ere stone was quarried i rick moulded for the making. In all our important municipal undertakings we should bear this thought in mind, and in particular is it neceasary that It should be consid with relation to the make up of the proposed city planning commission.

Here it is that foresight and thought for the beautiful muat be combined with the purely practical if the Harrlsburg of to morrow is to be what it is possible under careful supervision and proper regulation to' make it There Is room in IBYrrisburg eUll for the "dreamer" not the Idle visionary who build mere castles In the air, but the dreamer who dreams fair dreams and makes his dreams come true'. EVENING CHAT Peoplo who' have been watching the progress of the work on the erection of the addition to the federal building were surprise a few days ago wnen the men excavating for the foundations struck. a strata of concrete and bricks almost ten feet below the street level. The presence of the strata of concrete pussled a good many persona because of its depta and the solidity with which it had been put down. This strip of concrete was the foundation of the pressroom of the Harrlsburg Patriot In years gone by.

For years the Patriot was located in the Dock building at Third and StrawT berry streets, where the Hartacker grocery used to be. In May, 1875, B. V. Meyers, then the proprietor, became State printer, and it was necessary to enlarge the plant. The newspaper was then established in the new printing house at Third and Locust, streets, being right opposite the site of the present temporary post office.

There the Patriot was published until November, 1878. when the building bought by the United States government and was demolished In course of time for the present building and its lawn. The pressroom was very deep and located along the Locust street side with a cement floor. The nwspaper press was in this pressroom and the Job and book presses on the first floor, and that the press had a most excellent foundation 1 demonstrated by the appearance of the concrete at this late day. The concrete was laid on bricks and stones, which were found to have been put on top of the slate which furnishes the bed rock.

The Patriot moved late In 1878 to Market and Dewberry streets, where it was published until it removed to Market Square In the Spring of 1906. D. J. McDermott secretary of the Berks County Agricultural Society; which was here recently, is arranging for an event which people In Dauphin and Cumberland could well afford to copy. It is to be a "good roads" during which federal experts oh road building and on practical farming, including men from the county, will make visits and encourage good road making.

The supervisors of the county will be invited and efforts will be made to boost the roads in rural districts where Improvement is needed. State highway officials will assist wherever possible. Colonel James E. Barnett. former State Treasurer and commander of the Tenth Regiment was here a few days this week on business and took occasion to look about the city.

Colonel Barnett is a descendant of the Rev. John Elder, the famous "fighting parson," and his own middle name Is Elder. He Is greatly inter ested in the preservation of the papers of the parson, about whom so much has been written. Dr. H.

Kreider, the former count) chairman of the Bull Moosers and now candidate for Congress, is of the opinion that the Roosevelt movement is not dead yet The other evening the doctor was walking along Third street with a friend when a couple of boys who happened to pass by recognized him and yelled "Hurrah for Teddy!" The doctor smiled and told his companion to kindly note the words. The wholesale changes in the schedule of the Pennsylvania Railroad have wrought havoc among some of the old established and well known trains and among those which have disappeared from the time table are the only familiar Day and Main Line expresses. Time was when Day ex press was the crack afternoon train for Philadelphia after Limited, east and Main Line was put on to take care of the travel which could not be accommodated on Day. These trains were known far and wide and while never very speedy or even equipped In trie top notch style they were popular because of the time they left here and reached Philadelphia. "What's the reason they had a Jefferson day dinner in Philadelphia last night and that they are not going to have Jefferson day here until April 13?" asked a bewildered Democrat of a man connected with educational matters yesterday.

The educator thought a minute and remarked that both sets of celebrators were right. "It's this way," he explained. "When Jefferson was born the old style calendar was in vogue and he was born on April S. Before he became so prominent, however, the change in the calendar to make it catch up had been made and he was born on April IS. It's the same thing with Washington, if you remember.

By the old style he was born on February 11, but by the new calendar on the 22d." This explanation caused the man wno follows politic to chuckle, because, as he said: "The wings of the Dem ocracy are so far apart that they cannot even agree upon a cut to cele brate the birth of thalr patron saint" She was riding on an Allison Hill car, wearing a leicning nat with a high leather of the modern shaoe. Hanging on a strap, she failed to ob serve the bell cord (winging overhead. and when the conductor pulled the rope, reamer, nat ana ail rose toward the top of the car. Everybody laughed, Including the wearer of the nat, ana tne incident furnished amuse ment for the rest or the trip. 1 WEIL KNOWN PEOPLE I C.

PRESS AGENT FOR WSCLB SAM Every mail carries out of Washington thousands of letters and articles wr.l ten by vigorous and busy newspaper men who have been engaged to exploit the various departments. Enough material goes Out dally to fill the space of all the newspapers, magazines and periodicals In the country. Some of these reports are real "news" and are eagerly utilized by the press. Others continue the old conventional dullness of Government documents. This movement shows that Government executives are not only looking toward a regulation of public affairs in railroads and public utilities, but have adopted the plan of commercial organizations In exploiting their work, realizing that if the genius of the age business, the genius of business Is advertising Singularly free from personal allusions, the presswork of Uncle Sam sent out by mimeograph has been the marked feature of the present administration: and it Is felt that through this means public opinion may be moulded to Investigate and by those things which it I fK are worthy of public attention.

However much it may interfere with, the energetic correspondence of the Press Associations, a policy of valuable Ivestlgation and suggestion ha been initiated in the press service the various departments.

Democrats Filling4 the Foreigner's Purse (Editorial from the Publlo The effect of Demoeratlo bedevllment of buslnens is reflectod more clearly In me custom nouse returns man anywhere elae. They ahow that there haa been a falling off of 140,000,000 in dutiable Imports during the first four montha of the new tariff law, In comparison with the corresponding period a year ago.

This decline Is at the rate of 1120,000.000 a year. In spite of the fact that the duties have been reduced. The reason for this astounding slump In foreign purchasing is found In the demoralisation of business. The home producer has not benefited by the sale of his own product to take the place of those usually bought abroad, because people have not been buying goods. They are waiting to see what else Congress will do, and revenue producing business ia falling off at the annual rate of net.

The Increase' of free Imports by 119,000,000 is due to the preference that the Democrats have shown for the tor elpn producer tover' the American farmer, cattle raiser and manufacturer, a preference that Abraham Lincoln never could countenance. He did not pretend to be a tariff expert ana did not have much use for theories of any kind: but he was gifted with enough plain horse sense to understand what Solng abroad for goods meant. His ettysburg speech Is a classic, but lie did not compress In it bo much as he did when he said: i do not know much about the tariff, but I know this much, when we buy manufactured goods abroad we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money. When we buy manufactured goods at home we get both the goods and the nvonay. Protection is epitomized In these words In which there is no auggestion Of a COmnetltiva tariff ni nf trmAm or of a tariff for revenue.

The Repub striving to carry out the admirable policy of developing niw inuuBines or in country ao that It might produce the goods and get the money for them. In Lincoln's way.
