MR. BRYAN'S OVERSIGHT
WHEN' Senator Lodge called on !
Secretary of State Bryan and t
pointed out to him that the J
proposed new treaty with |
Denmark provided for the arbitration
of the Monroe Doctrine, Mr. Bryan ;
"WAS surprised.
He said that he "had not given any I
thought" to that phase of the ques
tion. As a consequence, the treaty I
has been halted for repairs.
What are we to think of a Secre
tary of State who is "thoughtless" )
enough to overlook so basic a prin- ;
clple as the Monroe Doctrine? If he |
had deliberately over-ridden it, we
might have excused him, but to con- j
fess he did not know it was there, is'
enough to shake our confidence in his i
qualifications for the high office he ,
holds.
Evidently, Mr. Bryan has not been
so successful in running the State De
partment as a side issue to the Chau
tauqua circuit as he would have us
believe.
We had always looked upon the
oyster as a lazy, inactive fellow, and
now comes a scientist to tell us that
one oyster will in a single season
easily produce a million young ones.
Probably along the same line of rea
soning that always gives the poorest
family in the neighborhood the largest
number of children.
ALLISON HILL ACTIVITIES
GREATER activity among men of
this city in religious work has
been a topic of comment for
some time in the pulpit and
press. On Allison Hill, particularly, a j
growing interest among men in church ,
activity has been noticeable.
Doubtless one of the most powerful
Influences In this movement has been
due to the efforts of the Allison Hill 1
Men's Christian Association, organized j
a little over half a year ago. In the
ranks of the association are the fore-
Tnost lay leaders of every church on )
the Hill. Live wires have been push- j
ing the association work and every I
Sunday afternoon from three to four
hundred men—many of whom are not
church members —attend special meet- i
Ings for men only held in a Hill mov- ,
lng picture theater.
Evidence of the energy that is back '
of the association is seen in the an- '
nouncement that the organization has;
called to Its assistance Dr. Henry I
Stough, the evangelist, who, next to j
Billy Sunday, lias made more conver- !
Fiona, perhaps, than any other man in I
t he country to-day.
Early next Fall the Allison Hill i
(Men's Christian Association will bring
Dr. Stough to this city to wage a
gigantic evangelistic campaign. A •
Kreat tabernacle, capable of seating '
S,OOO people, will be erected by the
nssociatlon and efforts will be made to !
tiring the many thousands now "out
of the fold" into the church.
Another proof that the Hill asso
ciation is made up of "live wires" is
• Rt en In that the organization believes!
1n publicity and is doing much of its
educational work through a campaign
In which newspaper advertising plays j
a big part.
A Boston newspaper tells its readers
that "there are indications of a lively
political battle in Pennsylvania this
year." Indications? Battle? Man! Man!
Your words don't begin to express It.
MTDDLETOWN POST OFFICE
IT Is to be hoped that the effort of
Congressman Kreider to obtain an
appropriation for the erection of a ;
post office at Middletown will be
successful. There is no question of
1 the need of a federal building there. ;
The town is growing rapidly and is !
one of the most important business I
between Harrlsburg and Lan
caster. Mr. Kreider shows a keen j
appreciation of local conditions in
directing his energies toward its fur- j
ther Improvement.
Residents of the Eighteenth Con
gressional district are beginning to j
realize that in Mr. Kreider they have
a representative who is "on the job" !
and who is doing good work for them.
As a practical business man Mr. :
Kreider is looking after his congres
sional duties in the same manner as
he attends to his private affairs. His
keen Judgment is becoming known to

his colleagues and as a consequence
he is one of the most popular of the
new members.
While Mr. Kreider can take the floor
i of the Ilo'ise and discuss ably any
i legislation under consideration, his
I time is largely given to committees,
i where most of the effective legislative
j work is done.

I
: KEEPING POPULAR FAVOR
THE job of being governor is a
thankless one. In the ordinary
course of things a new governor
is a much courted man.. He
has a legislative policy to outline, a
1 host of appointments to make and
j many bills to sign. He is usually popu
lar until after the second term of the
; Legislature during his four year in
cumbency. Then the rank and file and ]
those who have axes to grind are or- j
dinarilv content to let the governor
j play golf to his heart's content, and
jhe is not even called upon to race!
i about the State making speeches. j
j This applies in general to good gov-j
| ernors and poor governors alike. But
it does not apply to Governor Tener.
IHe is the one exception. He is more j
I in demand now than when he was in
augurated. He could be out on the
speech-making circuit every day if he|
I would and then not fill all requests for
: his presence.
The answer would seem to He to a
! considerable extent in baseball. The
head of a major league is a bigger man
•in Fandom than the chief executive of!
j a mere State, no matter how just and |
efficient he may be.
The hobble-skirt lias been found to j

1 THE LONESOME Mlt. GLACKEXS
AT the age of fifty-seven years and
after two previous matrimonial
ventures which do not seem to
have been entirely happy, Isaac
I Glackens, of Philadelphia, has de
! clared himself a candidate for a third
j marriage.
Mr. Glackens says he is "lonesome,"
j but, in spite of that fact, he is very
exacting. He announces that he will j
j entertain no applications from young
'and inexperienced women and that
the future Mrs. Glackens must not be
j a suffragette, or one who devotes all
i her time to dress and society. She
j must have had experience in house
keeping and a qualification which will
jbo insisted upon is that she be able
! to make good pies, which, by the way,
i seems to be entirely reasonable,
j Mr. Glackens would prefer a good
■ looking wife, but if she possesses all
the other qualifications, he is willing
to waive her appearances.
But Mr. Glackens is lonesome, that
is the significant thing. Beggars and
lonesome men cannot be too choicy
and the probabilities are that when
Mr. Glackens finally takes unto him
self No. 3, it will be discovered that
he has done just what most of the
rest of us do —take them as we find
them. •
You owe it to your children to edu
cate them. Part of every good educa
tion is familiarity with foreign lands.
The Telegraph has arranged to bring
the whole world to Harrisburg. Do not
deny the little folks a visit to Chestnut
Street Hall next week. The Niblo pic
j tures are the best of their kind, and the
I Telegraph has arranged to exhibit them
j here for ten cents admission, but to get

REDFIELD, THE FUNNY MAN
TIE funniest man in President
Wilson's cabinet is one who has
absolutely no sense of humor
and who entertains us by his ab
| surd solemnity. Secretary Redfield Is
ino Mark Twain. He cannot play on
, words and get off striking "cute
I things" as Vice-President Marshall
; does. He is not witty like Bryan, but
' he can say and do the most ridiculous
j things ever attributed to a Depart -
j ment Secretary.
! Just now he is engaged in the old
■ task of touring the country for the
I purpose of telling the people how
! prosperous they are. It has never
occurred to him that prosperity does
not need to be pointed out. A man
| knows without being told when ho is
hungry and when he is not hungry.
But the big laugh In Secretary
Redficld's recent performances is his
.serious assertion that the tariff has
; lowered the cost of living by attract
ing food supplies from other coun
tries. He tells us how mucli meat
and butter have come in. how many
' bushels of potatoes and crates ot
eggs.
i He does not quote a single instance
' in which the prices of these products
have not gone up instead of down
j since the passage of the Underwood
i tariff law.
A government statistician has fig
ured out from the imports that the
total amount of beef brought in since
{ October first would allow every man,
i woman and child in the country ex
actly half a pound in five months and
: that the total butter imports amount
I to only one-half ounce per capita for
the same period of time. It is not
| necessary to Inquire further for the
' causes of the Underwood law's failure
! to bring down the high cost of living,
| although it is very easy to see how
j an increase of approximately 225,000
.cattle and an increase of 4,200,000
! bushels of corn and an increase of
j 13,200,000 bushels of oats and an
I increase of 2,800,000 bushels of pota
| toes In the imports for five months
! would have a very serious effect upon
the prices quoted to our producers.
If it is any satisfaction to Mr. Red
' Held to know that his party's tariff
| has hit the farmer, he may be as
sured that the facts bear him out, but
■ before he presumes to boast of the
law's benefit to the consumer, he had
better consult the housewife who
knows a great deal more about it than
he does. (
evening QDAT
Anybody seen a bluebird? The
daintily-colored harbingers of Spring
are due and people wlio liave an eye
on the birds say that they expect to
see tlicni any day in Capitol or Reser
voir Park since the tirst robins have
been noticed looking over what house
keeping accommodations the trees af
ford this Spring. Generally bluebirds
have been noticed about Washington's
birthday, but the decidedly wintry
weather which prevails just at present
has apparently kept even the scouts
of the bluebird migration from ven
turing above Mason St Dixon's line.
Some of the bird sharps say that the
bluebird is a real advance guard of
the feathered tribe, but it is a matter
of local record that robins are the
tirst to get here from Ihc South. The
bluebirds are not seen much in the
Capitol or riverside parks, preferring
the more undisturbed sections of Kes
ervoir or Wildwood Park. In the
country they abound, except where
sparrows have gotten the upper hand.
As soon as the bluebirds appear we
may look for something like real
Spring weather and as March Is close
at hand, the present severe conditions
will not prevail very much longer.
When the bluebirds arrive they will
be closely followed by the blackbirds
and then the farmers will commence
to think about ploughing. The black
bird, however, is one of the foxiest ot
birds, escept when hunters are .about,
and it stands to reason that as long as
the weather is so severe as to drive
the crows into yards to get food, that
there will be no blackbirds around.
rhero was a lot of telephoning and
asking of questions at the Post Office
to-day about the income tax, because
a number of people were not quite
sure in their minds as to whether it
would hit them or not. Most of the
questions were asked at the stamp
window and people were referred
across the way to the offices of the
revenue collector's deputy, who is in
charge of such matters for the official
who sits at Lancaster. Some of the
inquiries betokened anguish of mind
for fear that arrest would follow if a
blunder was made, and the clerks
soothingly explained that there were
opportunities for corrections offered.
During the day the Auditor General's
Deparanient, which was on the jump
anyway with the rush of bank stock
and general corporation reports, was
asked a number of questions about the
tax by folks who seemed to think that
that branch of the State government
had something to do with it.
A fine Spring day—overhead—and
a, building operation can attract a
"building committee" about as soon
as anything that can be arranged.
\ esterday's balmy air caused a good
many people to collect in the streets
and the building operations at the
Federal Building were quickly sur
rounded by a large and much inter
ested committee. At one time a fore
man thought he needed more men or
else determined to have a little fun.
So he asked several of the men stand
ing around if they wanted jobs.
None did.
The Harrisburg Railways Company
is rapidly equipping cars with jacks,
especially in the winter weather when
run-offs, are apt to occur, and most
of the cars on the runs through the
business sections are prepared for
emergencies. The local company was
one of the first to have a liberal sup
ply of jacks provided for accidents,
although in some cities such articles
are very hard to find.
"You Harrisburg people sit here and
do not realize how splendidly your
highways are kept clean," said a trav
eling man at one of the hotels to-day.
He is a man whose territory covers
this State and part of New York and
Ohio, and he gets into almost every
city the size of Harrisburg in the three
States. "I do not know of any place
that keeps its streets in cleaner condi
tion than you do in Harrisburg, sum
mer or winter. Why in the last few
days I have been in five Pennsylvania
cities and not one of them could show
streets as clear of snow as I find Mar
ket street."
"What's the cause of all the rush?"
was asked of the ticket chopper at
one of the theaters last night. "Big
gest Friday and biggest night we have
had except Saturday for weeks. 1
think it is due to the mild weather.
YoVi see the people have been housed
up by the snow and the winds and this
Is the first nice evening. So they just
came out. And they came out in
crowds," replied the man at the door.
PREACHERS' SONS WHO MADE GOOD
[From the Christian Herald.]
When a minister's son or daughter
goes wrong, the chronic critics and the
uncharitable in spirit point to them
and say, "Why do preachers' children
turn out badly?" Nothing could be
farther from the truth than such a
notion. Ministers' children turn out
well, better than any others in the com
munity. There are exceptions, but this
is the rule. This fact has been recent
ly mentioned in a sermon by the Rev.
Robert Hugh Morris, preached in the
Central North Broad Street Presby
terian Church, of Philadelphia. Among
other things Dr. Morris said:
"Of the fifty-one names in the Na
tional Hall of Fame, twenty are from
ministers' homes: Roger" Williams,
Jonathan Edwards, William Ellery
Cliannlng. Emerson, Holmes, Henry
Elay. Agassiz, Bancroft, Beecher. Sttrtve,
owell and Phillips Brooks, being fifty
times more than a proportion proper if
other families measured up to the stan
dard. Of our twenty-seven Presidents
three were ministers' sons, Arthur.
Cleveland and Wilson. The wives of
live were ministers' daughters: Mrs
John Adams. Mrs. Millard Fillmore
Mrs. Franklin Pierce, Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.

NEW METHOD OF HISTORICAL IN
STRUCTION
What should prove to be a highly
successful method of instructing the
child mind in the history of the coun
try is that given in Mary Hazleton
Wade's new volume. "Abraham Lin
coln, a Story and a Play." The first
fifty pages are devoted to a short
simple story of Lincoln's Life. Of course
many such have appeared, but the play
Ide taken up in the last part of the
book is new. What could be more in-
I structive than the actual acting of a
[school class of the life of Lincoln. The
plot and language are so simple that
this is made possible with the least
amount of pre-urrangement
This is the tirst of a series of vol

BRUMBAUGH READY
TO ANSWER GALL
The Superintendent Says He Will
Rnn if the Plain People Ask
Him to Stand
ALTER MAY ENTER THE RACE
Governor Again Backs Brumbaugh
—Democrats in a Pepperjig
Over the Judgeships
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Pliila
jdelphia superintendent of schools, who
is being strongly urged to enter the
■ race for the Republican nomination
i for Governor, said last night in Phila
' delphia that he would not be a candl
i date of any politicians, and added
j "The only call I would listen to would
i be the call of the common people, the
] people who work with their hands,
jM\ people are up-State, not only here
jin Philadelphia. I would not let the
i politicians make me a candidate be
fore the people, but 1 would listen to
the call ot' the people themselves."
It is believed that, because of the
strong endorsements being given to
Dr. Brumbaugh all over the State that
he will consent to be a candidate.
Governor Tener in Philadelphia last
night reiterated his approval of the
candidacy ol Dr. Brumbaugh, saying:
"I consider Dr. Brumbaugh a splendid
candidate and one who is sure to lead
to victory. He is honest, tirni, sensi
ble, really an ideal candidate."
Speaker George E. Alter, who lias
under consideration the urging of
friends that he become a candidate
for Governor on the same platform
as J. Benjamin Dimmick for Senator,
has not indicated what he will do. He
says he has the matter under consid
eration and is expected in Philadel
phia to-day with J. Denny O'Neil to
go over the matter. Dimmick has
been in Pittsburgli for several days
and has been endorsed by the Speaker.
The Democratic tight is getting very
| bitter. The Ryan people have start
ed hundreds of petitions .throughout
the State and the McCormick people
j have them out by the thousand. It be
ing the reorganizers' game to get to
people first, to get their names down
and then demand that they vote as
they sign.
The Lewisburg Saturday News, the
newspaper of B. K. Focht, gives Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh a strong en
dorsement for Gover
nor. The ex-CongresSr
Ben Focht man knows Hunting-
Strong For don just as he knows
Brumbaugh his own county and he
comes out strong for
Dr. Brumbaugh. The
article says in part: "The week ends
with every likelihood that he will
enter the race. If he does, and wins
the nomination, he will give the rich
city McCormick chap, who will likely
be the Democratic nominee, a run for
his millions. As fortunes are reck
oned these days, Brumbaugh is a poor
man and working hard at his profes
sion every day, but he is an
tual colossus, and in a contest such as
is promised, the Democrats may mar
shal their best talent to forensic bat
tle only to be vanquished. Hunting
don county, where Brumbaugh was
born and reared, and the counties of
the Juniata Valley, in fact the entire
State, for he is known far and wide,
will respond to the appeal of this
great man once a country lad. And
if elected it may be expected that he
will follow in the footsteps of Stuart
and Tener and give the people a clean,
wise and progressive administration."
These are busy times for the Demo
cratic bosses who are trying to keep
their machine from being taken away
from them, and who
are trying to use the
machine while they Democratic
have it to put over the Bosses Hit
Jersey ticket for the Trail Hard
Pennsylvania Demo-
crats. To-day Scout
master Roland S. Morris and the rest
of the bosses went to Wilkes-Barre
to engineer an endorsement of the
presidential interference ticket
through a meeting of Democrats of
that division of the State machine.
The resolutions were prepared at the
State windmill in Market Square dur
ing a visit Morris paid yesterday to
see how the Federal officeholders were
coming up with their contributions in
response to the second edition of duns.
Out in Pittsburgh the Brennan wing
of the Democratic county committee
had a meeting and this afternoon the
reorganization wing will flap. Judge
E. C. Bonniwell, the official thorn in
the reorganization side, his been in
Pittsburgh for a couple of days, and
Monday Palmer and McCormick will
open a series of receptions and ban
quets for advertising purposes.

Helping the
Manufacturer
Who Helps' You
Mr. Merchant: — Work with the
mnimfnWurer who la rnterprlalng
enough to help make a market
for you rather thun with the one
who dora nothing.
Of course you must keep the
kind of goods the public wants.
But where all things are equal
you should let It be known that
you will be more friendly
towards the goods of the man
who helps you market them than
to the one who stocks up your
shelves with his goods and lets
you get rid of them the best way
you can.
As a rule, advertised goods un
der a standard name are of better
quality than the nondescript
kind, because the manufacturer
of 4he former is striving to build
a reputation.
When you put your own name
on a brand of goods you are
pretty certain as to the quality—
are you not?
The manufacturer has more at
stake than you have.
The reason the public favors
advertised goods Is that It has
come to know that advertised
brands are usually the best.

Checking bag or trunk or grip.
Clip the coupon from this paper,
Bring it to the Chestnut Street
Auditorium with ten cents,
Which will give you a good seat.
Then through aid of moving pictures
You'll be treated to a sight
Of old countries and their peoples
That will give you much delight.

At eight fifteen Monday night.
Get aboard, we're off for Russia,
Where the skeeters never bite.
A most satisfactory way of buying: a MONUMENT, MARKER, etc., Is
to make a selection from the finished assortment I carry in stock.
You are better enabled to judge size, design and quality of material
than to select from numbered stock designs, which often mislead and
upon erection are unsatisfactory. Should your ideas tend to tho higher
art in memorials I shall be pleased to embody them in a design. (A
sample of my designing is given above).
Special attention is given to making ot plans and the construction of
Modern Underground Vaults.
