ANOTHER RELIEF SHIP
THE TELEGRAPH has good news
for its readers who did not find
opportunity to give their share
toward the relief of the starring
thousands of Belgium. Another relief
ship is to sail from Philadelphia fol
lowing the Thelma, and the Telegraph
will continue to represent the Phila
delphia Relief Committee in Central
Pennsylvania. So send in your cash,
you belated ones, whether the sunt
be large or small.
Think of It, thousands upon thou
sands of homeless women, children
and babies scarcely able to toddle are
wandering amid the frozen fields and
along the desolate roads of Belgium
without a to sleep and without
money or food. Unless America comes
to their rescue they must die the hor
rible death of cold and starvation.
Harrisburg has already given gen
erously, but only a very small fraction
of our people have responded. We
do not believe there is one among us
who could sit comfortably down to
his evening meal to-night without
having given toward this Belgian re
lief fund if he fully realized that In
that far-off country boys and girls are
gathered helplessly weeping about
hopeless mothers, begging for food
which must come from America if
they are to escape starvation.
Five cents will buy a meal of bread
and beans for a hungry little Belgian
boy or girl. Six dollars and forty
cents will buy a barrel of flour. If you
can give but a nickel, give that, re
membering the potency of the widow's
mite and the measure of her cruise.
Do not hesitate to give because the
amount is small. If you were starving
nnd somebody hesitated to give you a
loaf of bread because he did not have
the price of a barrel of flour, what
wou,ld you think of him ?
SCHOOL TEACHERS HERE
CARTOONISTS and funny picture
men love to depict the "school
tnarm" as a lean-visaged, hook
nosed maiden of uncertain years,
garbed in fashions of the vintage of
the early fifties and armed with a
bunch of switches. Artists desiring
school teacher models are recom
mended to come to Dauphin county.
The world-famous Gibson girl at her
best does not surpass for freshness of
beauty, sweetness of smile or general
"get-up" the teachers who come to
Harrisburg every year about this time
to attend the annual institute.
Bright, vigorous, elear-visioned. smil
ing and withal very earnest young per
sons are they, and we cannot refrain
from expressing the thought that the
boys and girls of Dauphin county who
are receiving their early training at
the hands of this corps of capable in
structors are in good hands.
What a splendid tribute to Judge
George Kunkel's popularity was the
vote of 21,459 in Dauphin county.
STILL EXPLAINING
DEMOCRATIC newspapers and
their weakling imitators are
striving hard to have it appear
that the Republican press of the
country purposely distorted the facts
regarding the industrial situation for
the benefit of Republican candidates
and that every effort was made to
create an impression of industrial
stagnation to injure the Democratic
ticket. These newspapers can extract
all the comfort they may out of this
sort of They are only de
ceiving themselves.
Business men In the larger cities
and industrial centers have already
declared that the results of the elec
tion last Tuesday have manifested
themselves in renewed confidence and
a hopeful attitude on the part of
manufacturing and commercial inter
ests. Business men don't shut down
factories and close their mills for po
litical effect.
It were better for these embarrassed
apologists of the Wilson adminis
tration that they turn their attention
to something more profitable than ex
cuses for what happened last Tues
day.
CHAMBER'S ACTIVITIES
THE Bulletin of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce for the
current month teems with the
activities of that body. Anybody
who imagines that the Chamber is not
doing anything ought to take time
sufficient to peruse this lively llttla
publication.
One of the biggest pieces of con
structive work to be attempted this
Fall is the executive committee's plan
for a foreign trade conference to be
held In this city and to take In all
(Certtral Pennsylvania. Manufacturers
and trades people in general will b«
TUESDAY EVENING,
invited to the sessions to learn from
national experts how to extend the
sale of Pennsylvania products overseas.
The newspapers of the country are
filled with accounts of the opportuni
ties of the United States abroad, but
the half has not been told. We are on
the eve of such a trade expansion in
foreign countries as the world has
never seen. While European aspirants
for commercial supremacy are anni
hilating each other on the field of
battle we in America are strengthening
our banking and currency sytems, in
vestigating foreign needs and planning
to meet the requirements of the mar.
kets of our neighboring nations. Wt
have the mills and the resources, but
we are still woefully lacking as to
knowledge of needs and tastes of the
people to whom we seek to cater.
The Chamber is to bring to us men
who know the conditions wc will have
to meet: who will outline for us some
of the peculiarities and whims of our
future customers, who know what they
will buy and what they will not buy.
This is highly important at this time
and in arranging for the conference
in Harrisburg the Chamber not only
recognizes its duty to our own manu
facturers but lays emphasis on the fact
that Harrisburg Is the great trade ana
manufacturing center of Central Penn
sylvania.
BACKING "M. G."
M EMIIERS-ELECT of the Senate
and House of Representatives
in this State are coming
promptly to the front with as.
surances of support for the Governor
elect and the platform upon which he
firmly stood during the campaign.
While there is here and there a note
of disagreement regarding the local
option proposition, the legislators for
the most part are in hearty sympathy
with the plans and purposes of the
next Governor. He has manifested
such a thorough grasp and appre
ciation of the problems that confront
the Legislature and the Executive that
the lawmaking department is evidently
determined to be guided largely by
him In the enactments of the ap
proaching session.
Dr. Brumbaugh has given no sign
since election of what may be con
tained in his first message, but the
people may rest assured that It will be
a straightforward, sensible and prac
tical document covering the principles
for which the Governor-elect has stood
and will continue to stand during his
administration.
That is a wholesome sign which is |
contained in a more or less authori- ,
tative statement that the Republican j
leaders are favorable to a short ses- j
sion of the Legislature. There is noj
occasion for any prolonged deliberation |
of the lawmakers. We have alreadj t
too many laws, and only those bills j
should be passed that are absolutely j
necessary to correct existing statutes
or put Into effective shape the party
promises and pledges.
As for local option, the Governor
elect is certain to do everything within
his power to bring about a submission
of the question to the people. While
the attitude of the managers of the
Anti-Saloon League was inexcusable
and inconceivably stupid throughout j
the campaign, the honest supporters of j
local option will do everything within j
their power to have the matter deter- :
mined once for all by the incoming !
Legislature. The Telegraph still be- 1
lieves that even the liquor interests
should realize the futility of an ir- i
reconcilable opposition to the measure, j
It will mean either local option or'
state-wide prohibition, and those op- |
posed to local option must determine
which horn of the dilemma they prefer j
to take. State-wide prohibition is not
regarded with favor by many reason
able people, but the principle of local
option—the right of every community
to say whether or no liquor shall be
sold within the confines of that com
munity—is so absolutely fair that It
must in the end prevail.
GETTING TOGETHER
THERE is a disposition among Re
publicans everywhere to forget
the differences of the last two
years and unite solidly and har
moniously for tfie great battle of 1916.
Here In Pennsylvania, the third party
movement has about exhausted itself
and we shall not be greatly surprised
to see a substantial reunion of all the
elements believing in Republican prin«
ciples.
During the approaching session of
the legislature we doubt not that Re
publicans and third party men and
scores of broad-minded Democrats will
Join forces In putting into concrete
form those measures which seem to
have had the endorsement of people
at the recent election. Purely hys
terical and fad legislation should have
little consideration. All classes of our
citizens realize that It is now time to
quit riding hobbies and build up In
substantial and constructive fashion
the best interests of the Common
wealth.
This commission has been given to
the Republican party and we believe
it will have the earnest support of
those men who have been somewhat
out of joint with the party organ
ization for the last two years.
COME TO HARRISBI'RG
THE Evening Ledger of Philadel
phia complains that the mu
sicians of that city find parading
on the streets dangerous. Walk
ing along at the head of processions,
says the Ledger, with eyes fixed on
their music sheets, the bands encoun
ter not a little danger of sprained
ankles from the wretched condition of
the highways.
We sympathize with Philadelphia.
Long, long years ago we In Harrisburg
used to have streets like that. Wq
don't like to boast and far be it from
us to detract one whit from the attrac
tions and pleasures of the Quaker City,
but we see no other way out of it than
to have all future Philadelphia parades
held in Harrisburg. No danger of
sprained ankles from bad streets here.
We refer the bandmen of Phlladelphm
to the thousands who marched In tlit
recent firemen's parade over fourteen
miles of streets with nary a depression
along the entire route.
The computation of the vote cast In
Dauphin county last Tuesday Is turn
ing up a couple of old friends. In the
list of one of the First Ward precincts
the usual blank ballot ts reported.
This ballot has been voted blank for
years and there is no way of finding
out who docs It. The blank ballot was
noted for the first time half a dozen
years ago and has turned up regularly
ever since. Then there is the man
who always votes with a blue pencil.
He does not live in the First Ward,
but up town, and he makes a mark
that looks exactly like the marks on
the specimen ballots handed around
by the political workers. It is alike to
artistic perfection and Is always in
blue. These two ballots have been re
ported regularly. Another interesting
thing about the balloting this year Is
that so few people voted for folks not
on the ballot. Generally, there are a
lot of ballots voted by people who
want to be funny or who want to avoid
voting for the nominees for some rea
son or other. There are very, very
few this year, especially on Governor.
Speaking of ballots, some of the
boxes that have been re-storcd in the
Courthouse for city districts have seen
better days. They are smeared with
sealing wax and marked with dirt,
battered and forlorn. Some of them
have been in service for many years
and have tigured in historic elections.
Some are barely held together, and
there are some which are tied with
ropes. The laws require that they be
kept separate and inviolate and this
seems to apply to their condition. They
are untouched from one year's end to
the other. No one has the nerve to
repair them.
As the returns have been coining in
pretty rapidly at the State Capitol it
is noted that some of the big counties
have reported earlier than usual. Gen
erally some of the small ones get in
first, but Schuylkill was anion's the
very first. It was followed by Fayette
and Northumberland. The latter is
often among the first dozen, but this
is the first time that Schuylkill has
been so early. Erie has also broken a
record in getting promptly and so has
Chester. Indiana and Jefferson came
in on the same day. as usual.
The winner of the caddies' golf
tournament of the Country Club of
Harrisburg last Saturday Is rather
proud of what he did. He won the
first prize and he did It with clubs
given to him by Governor Tener. As
is now known, the Governor has been
a great friend to the caddies. He likes
the game and takes a big interest in
the boys. Recently he sent one to a
hospital to get his eyes lixed up. Now
it turns out that the winner of the
caddies' tournament played with clubs
given to him by the Governor. And
he is doing credit to the clubs every
day.
Dandelion blooms are being found
by people in many parts of the coun
try round about Harrisburg. The
flowers are small, showing the effects
of the l'rosts, but they are perfectly
formed and show how hardy is the
yellow flower which is such a nuisance
in lawns. Specimens of the blue
chicory have also been found near the
city.
Doubtless the inauguration of Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh is going to attract
much attention. Clubs are being
formed in Philadelphia to attend the
ceremonies and some of the towns
near Philadelphia will send represen
tatives. Two hotels have already been
asked for reservations for January IS
and 19.
Senator William C. Sproul, the
senior Senator, will call the caucUs of
the Republican members of the Leg
islature's upper'branch in January,
but for the first time In many years
there will be a new face in the chair
at the Republican House caucus. This
is an honor always filled by John H.
Riebel, of Philadelphia, "Father of
the House.' He died last session after
serving longer than any man in a gen
eration. The honor falls to either
Fred C % Ehrhardt, of Scranton, or
Henry Gransback, of Philadelphia. Mr.
Gransback is a former Senator and
has been a member of the House for
seven sessions, but not continuously.
Mr. Ehrhardt was elected in 1904 and
has served continuously ever since. On
the Democratic side John M. Flynn,
of Elk. is the oldest member in point
of continuous service and leads the
House as he was elected for the first
time in 1902.
I'ew people are aware that Pennsyl
vania with its rocks and wooded hills
is one of the leading raisers of buck
wheat in the country and that this sec
tion contributes much of the crop, as
it consumes a mighty share of the
ultimate of the grain in the form of
brown cakes. Half a dozen farms
within sight of the dome of the Capitol
have had big yields of the buckwheat
this year and some of them are sending
their meal to rather distant points,
hence it will be returned to Harris
burg, Penbrook, Linglestown and
Oberlin in the form of flour. The same
might be said of corn grown here and
milled elsewhere being returned to us
in corumeal, mush or "ponhaiis." This i
county has a couple of famous mills. I
whose cornmeal lias been known for |
a century, but its corn, like everything i
else, goes away to a great extent.

MAN OF MANY ATTAINMENTS

Lewis Files His Expense Account; (
Democrats Preparing to Show '
What They Spent
The name of Jesse E. B. Cunning
ham, First Deputy Attorney General
and the right-hand man of James
Scarlet in prosecution of the Capitol
cases from start to finish, is being
prominently mentioned for the attor
ney generalship in the cabinet of Gov
ernor-elect Martin G. Brumbaugh. Mr.
Cunningham was formerly district at- «
torney of Westmoreland county, where '
he made a notable record, and his '
work as Deputy Attorney General has t
been watched by the whole State. As t
solicitor for the State Board of Edu
cation he has been thrown into inti- s
mate relations with the Governor-elect. >
If Mr. Cunningham should be named
Attorney General and Mr. Hargest
named judge in event of Judge Kunkel
going on the Supreme bench, it would
mean two places to be filled in tho
legal department.
The Inauguration is occupying much
attention at Philadelphia and plans
are being made to ask men from forty
wards to march in one club. The Vare
contingent will mako one of the most
notable of demonstrations and the
McNichol people will also make an
effort.
Senator Penrose is to bo given a
complimentary dinner by the Clover
Club In Philadelphia on November 13.
Dr. Brumbaugh and his father will
start for Florida late In the week. The
new Governor has promised to take
this trip for a long time, lie will be
away until early in December and does
not want to be bothered while In the
South.
Richard J. Baldwin, the war horse
of Republicanism in Delaware county,
is a candidate for Speaker of thfc
House. Mr. Baldwin is one of the old
members and will make a contest. The
boom for George \V. Williams, of
Tioga, and that of R. P. Habgood. of
McKean, have collided in the interior
counties and there will be some inter
esting developments. The Philadelphia
delegation is divided between Wilson,
Gans and Roney, while Allegheny is
Inclined to Woodward.
Colonel James Madison Guffey, of
Pittsburgh, former Democratic na
tional committeeman, has declined to
be interviewed on the result of the
election, but it is stated that he smiled
broadly when he declined to talk.
Just what will happen to Congress
man A. Mitchell Palmer is a matter of
speculation. Almost every place is be
ing trotted out for him, but neither he
nor the President appears to be savins,
anything. Palmer is mentioned for
everything from a Cabinet office to a
place on the federal district bench.
Secretary Bryan appears to be
thankful it was not worse, judging
from the tone of his comment on the
election.
For the first time in many years
Lycoming county will be represented
by two Republicans in the Legislature.
Ralph Gibson was re-elected without
trouble and John Luppert, who de
feated Ansel Ulman, well known here,
is a former burgess of South Williams
port and a manufacturer. He is a
strong Republican. Mr. Ulman made
many friends here last session. The
Lycoming chairman is James C. Wat
son. formerly assistant counsel of the
Railroad Commission, and he is getting
bouquets.
The expense account of Charles A.
Shaffer, Columbia county representa
tive, shows that he spent but $1«4.5»
to be re-elected.
Clerks in Democratic State head
quarters are hard at work on the
making up of the expense account for
the recent election and it will be tiled
as soon as possible. The officials at
the headquarters say that they do not
intend to wait until the last day, but
to get their reports on file promptlv.
No intimation of the amounts involved
has been given, but it is stated that the
number of contributors to the Statb
committee's funds will run over 3,000.
The time for filing expense accounts
will expire December 3.
Fred E. Lewis, the Washington
party candidate for Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, tiled his statement to-day,
showing that he spent $1,789.57 and
that nobody gave him any contri
butions. He paid $1,500 to the State
committee's treasury.
1 EDITORIAL COMMENT |
Wilkes-Barre Record. —And we sup
pose that President Wilson will define
last Tuesday's rout as a psychological
defeat.
Philadelphia Press.—Now if the
Washington administration will turn
its attention to the pacification of Mex
ico once more—or as many times
more as may be necessary—and let
business alone perhaps the country
will be able to straighten up.
Kea<lJiiß News. —But of course even
those who nlso ran will do their
Christmas shopping early.
Pittsburgh Gazette-Time*. The
claim advanced by several distin
guished members of the President's
official family, that the outcome of
last week's elections is in reality a vic
tory for the Democratic party for
the reason that it retains control of
Congress, is more than offset by other
circumstances of greater importance.
States which went Republican repre
sent a majority of more than fifty in
the electoral college. Tnis transforms
Mr. Wilson's supposed sure thing for
1916 from the banks of the Potomac
to the river of Doubt, if not to the
better known and more familiar Salt
River. No man needs to put on parti
san spectacles to see that.
AS IT IjOOKS NOW
The Washington correspondent of
i the Philadelphia Press reviewing the
election results:
"In all the country east of the Mis
sissippi River, the States that have
been the bone and sinew of the Re
publican party are back again at the
old fireside, and by margins that show
they are there to stay. The great
States of the Union, like Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio and Illinois came
back with a rush that dumfounded
alike the Progressives and the Demo
crats.
"In New York the Republican tri
umph was complete, and against the
vigorous and united effort of the ad
ministration, assisted by the personal
campaign of Mr. Roosevelt himself.
The Pennsylvania figures speak more
eloquently than any mere words can
do. In New Jersey the Democratic
slogan was "support your President,"
and the voters tore to shreds the ban
ner which bore it."

LETTERSTOTHE EDITOR I
REWARD FOR ARMAGEDDON
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
"Five hundred dollars reward for the
definite location of Armageddon" I
notice has been offered by the editorial
columns of your issue of November 7,
1914.
This may have, no doubt, consider
able attraction for many of the people
who are at present without employment
or other means of support, but mag
nanimous as your offer may be, 1 wish
to enter my most severe and pungent
objection to the manner in which you
stute your proposition.
Somebody, the Lord, and Armageddon,
as I understand the mutter, formed a
trinity, which was onco appropriated bv
tne political history maker or makers
of these I'nlted States of America.
As to the second member of this
triune body, 1 do not care to commit
any act of apparent sacrilege bv asso
ciating anything whatsoever 'of his
presence or influence with the matter
of this reward, even though ultimately
he may bo found to be the onlv real
source of information.
Thus eliminating directly, the second !
persons of the.oonibinatlon, it does seem !
to me that the most logical method of *
procedure, in order to locate the much- i
coveted battlefield, would be through I
the services of someone who had nctu- I .
ally been there and had taken part in I
the affray. Of course, it would add !
greatly. I presume, to the authentlcitv i
of the matter if that same mortal par
ticipant were still a living creature.
Now, my suggestion to you, Mr. lidi
tor, is that you divide your reward in- I
to two equal parts, offering one-half, !
or sj'uO, to find this battle-scarred i
standard-bearer, who claims to have
been so intimately associated with the I
events and purposes of that particular
vicinity, and then wager the remainder
of the total with him to the effect that
lie doesn't know a "bloomln' " bit more
about Armageddon, its location or cir
cumstance than you or I do.
Upon second thought, it comes to me
that this same militant sufferer does 1
also have quite some reeord as a hunter I
and explorer, so that 1 might, after all. !
be mistaken as to his abilities along I
the many and varied lines of discovery. !
1 hen, too, judging from the past, the !
time is again about due for this mortal, i
if still alive, to sail away and set the i
stars jingling anew.with something un- '
expected, so, why, in the interest of I
science and history, should he not be
given even an extra inducement to en- '
lighten ns. as to where he himself is !
now abiding, whether dead or alive
what got the matter with htm and the
Lord, and also who was to blame.
I do not doubt, in the least. Sir. Edi
tor. that you have in your own name
or papjer's name the full SSOO offered
neither do X look upon your offer in any |
Other way than one of good faith, but
I cannot refrain from making known
to you. in this manner, my most 1
thoughtful consideration and criticism i
of your unwarranted oversight when '
searching for the truth.
The spirit back of your offer, no
doubt, is noble and clever, and deserves
much study and consideration upon the
part of your readers, but the method of
obtaining the much desired information
is utterly Impractical if not absolutely
impossible. '
Actually, Mr. Editor. I feel very much
inclined, ill this matter, to appropriate
that old stereotyped expression
of our much deflated and jubilant
Democratic friends. "Give u.s a chance "
Give up the idea for the present Mr
Editor, of locating that mysterious !
place and devote your energies and
shekels to helping forlorn humanity,
forget the hallucinations and will-o'-
the-wisps that were dangled so allur
ingly over the bogs and mires of certain
defeat and remorse, whether at Arma
geddon or elsewhere.
Finally, Mr. Editor, we positively re
fuse to go after the SSOO under the
terms of your proposal, but under the
change as above suggested we are wil
ling to try for the $250.
Please. Mr. Editor, be easy on us for
more reasons than herein implied and
give us at least a Democrat's chance to
win something.
Yours truly,
EXTRA.
PARTY HEI.MO.V
(Scranton Tribune-Republican)
It is time for the Republicans and
Progressive* in this country to get to
gether, in preparation for the national
battle of 1916. If there are ills with
in the party they can be cured from
within, rather than from without. It
ought not to be difficult to adjust the
differences now existing between the
party of Lincoln, McKinley and Grant
and the outshoot of that party that
headed the revolt in 1912.
In fact and in perfect truth to-day
there are no real differences between
Republicans and Progressives. Both
parties are heartily in favor of the re
form laws that they have helped write
into the national and State statutes.
Fall and Winter
Intimacy
With the shortening of days
comes a closer fainlly intimacy—
long beautiful hours to be spent
. cosily in the home. How to oc
' cupy these hours with profit and
fiieasurc will soon be the obsorb
ng question.
And surely READING (which,
by the way, has never reallv
gone out of style) is a form of
diversion that Is both profitable
and enjoyable.
Books of travel, history, and
art; books of love, romance, ad
venture: books of poetry, science,
psychology; books of philosophy;
