WORTHY OF ATTENTION
BUSINESS men attending the for
eign trade conference at I'ahne
stock Hall the other day were
told that, if they contemplate en
tering foreign trade, they would do
well to give soifie time to a study of ,
the Philadelphia Commercial Museum.
The services of this institution, which
is virtually a clearing house of in- ,
formation on all questions pertaining
to export trade, are taken advantage
of by hundreds of well-known firms. .
Harrisburg and other towns repre
sented would find therein much of ,
value supplementary to what they
learned at this week's conference.
It is daily helping manufacturers to ;
Establish relations with reliable for- j
eign merchants and aiding them to ,
eelect competent and trustworthy
agents abroad. The Museum's librarj
is recognized as the most complete of
its kind in the world and is filled with
literature pertaining to the trade, com
merce and industries of all countries, (
comprising over 50,000 volumes and
many hundreds of current trade pub
lications, statistical reports, foreign
directories, official gazettes, foreign
jrear books and similar publications.
An important feature ot its work
teonsists of the maintenance of close
and constant relations with foreign
commercial organizations. As a result
of many years of investigation and the
establishment of channels through
which accurate information may be
promptly obtained, the records of the
foreign trade, bureau of the Museum
contain detailed information regarding
many thousands of foreign importing
liouses, general merchants, industrial
plants and similar organizations in
practically every part of the world. All
of this information is used to point
the way to safe and paying foreign
business to those manufacturers who
may feel the need of a wider field of
distribution for their products or who
may desire to take advantage of the
opportunities which exist in foreign
countries for trade, expansion.
An Interesting feature of the foreign
trade bureau's work is that connected
with the translation of foreign corre
spondence and of catalogues and siml-'
lar printed matter for distribution in
foreign countries. Few not familiar
with the subject realize the difficulty
of organizing a translation bureau
which can render into the various
commercial languages the technical
terms and expressions used In cor
respondence covering practically all
lines of trade and nearly all languages.
The value of such an institution at
our very doors open to the free use of
everybody should not be underesti
mated in our newly undertaken move
ment to place the products of Central
Pennsylvania more extensively in for
eign fields.
ROB BURDETTE
THE death of Boh Burdctte re
cently at his California home re
moves from life one of that rap
idly passing school of writers of
which Mark Twain and Bret Ilarte
wero tho leaders. Few of this very
distinctive group yet live. Burdette
■was perhaps the best known of thos#
remaining. They were a purely Ameri
can product and in large part their
•writings reflect a phase of life that
passed even before they themselves
bad reached the zenith of their fame.
Burdette began cultivating good
humor obscurely in Peoria, 111., fortj
years ago, when he spent part of his
days at a desk on the Peoria Transcript
"trying to think," as he himself once
related, "of pleasant things to tell the
folks when I went home at night."
Ills audience of "folks" then was Car
rie Garrett, the Peoria girl he had
married a short time before while she
lay supposedly on her deathbed, but
who lived, and though an Invalid for
life, became immortalized by her hus
band as "Her Little Serene Happiness."
It was she who encouraged him to sow
his humor in wider fields. At her bed
side Burdette became prolific with fun
making contributions to the Burling
ton (lowal Hawkeye. and through
these he became famous the country
over as "The Burlington Hawkeye
Man."
Burdette's writings may not be of an
exceptionally high order, but they bear
1 the stamp of kindly genius. His work
was distinctly Individual and If it doei,
not bear the mark of towering great
ness It is at least clean and filled with
the sunshine of llfe-qualltles, by the
■way, that are sadly lacking In the mass
of literary junk that many of our "best
■elllng" authors are foisting upon us
• through the columns of tha "popular"
FRIDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 27,1914.
magazines. There was no sting In his
humor, lie left the world better than
ho found It—better for his own long
life In it. which as an epitaph could
not be written on the tomb of many
another beside whose magnitude in tht
literary firmament Burdette's is humble
indeed.
Some thousands of enthusiastic foot
ball rooters assembled at Island Par«k
yesterday to watch the memorable
struggle between the two high school
teams of the city. It was a great game,
and the pluck and skill of the boys
aroused their partisans to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. No great univer
sity struggle ever attracted more real
Interest than this contest between the
and Central champions.
FOR A TARIFF COMMISSION*
TilE movement to take tho tariff
of the United States out of poli
tics by placing the whole mutter
in the hands of a board of ex
perts, as exemplified by the recent ac
tion of the businessmen who consti
tute the Harrisburg Rotary Club and
hundreds of other similar organiza
tions throughout the country, may re
ceive proper consideration at the
hands of Congress, but not before the
Republicans come again into control.
Notwithstanding that a recent vote
taken by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States shows ninety-one
one-hundredths of the businessmen of
this country to be of the opinion that
an expert nonpartisan commission is
an absolute necessity to the stability
of trade, the Wilson Administration
will have none of it. That is one of
the reasons for the overwhelming do
feat of the Democrats in Pennsylvania
this Fall and it will, in a large meas
ure, explain their defeat at the polls
in 1916.
The idea which President Taft would
have worked out to the satisfaction of
everybody had he been re-elected is
bound in the end to prevail. The vast
business of this country ought never
to be put in jeopardy by the possibility
of such an accident as that which in
1912 placed the Democrats in charge
of the government.
The Philadelphia Public ledger is
doing a good piece of constructive
work along this line. The views of
hundreds of merchants and manufac
turers the country over on this sub
ject are being collected for the bene
fit of Congressmen, before whom it is
likely the proposition will be placed
in the form of a bill at the next ses
sion of the national legislature. There
is little hope, however, of success.
The "Wilson notion of tariff revision
is Illustrated by the Underwood law.
With unlimited power at his command,
the President dictated this measure
and, committed to it on a hundred dif
ferent occasions', it is hardly likely
that he will go so far as to admit
failure of what ho is pleased to term
the most important enactment of his
administration, by advocating a
change to tho commission form of
revision which was at his command
already and waiting for use when he
assumed control at Washington.
In the preparation of the budget for
the coming year. City Council ought to
provide for a gradual Increase of the
cluster lighting system to tho end that
the central business district shall be
uniform in its lighting scheme.
PUT WIRES UNDERGROUND
HARRISBURG has made an ex
cellent start toward placing its
electrical wires under ground.
The business section of the city
is being rapidly cleared of these un
sightly and dangerous encumbrances.
The day of the cobweb of current
laden copper strands in the heart of
town is at an end. The city govern
ment lias done wisely in requiring the
public service companies that have
come to it in recent years for addi
tional privileges to in part pay for
them by placing their wires in con
duits. But, strange as it may seem,
while insisting that others "be good"
in this respect, the city itself has been
remiss.
Notwithstanding that there are
ducts already laid for the use of the
city's wires throughout the heart of
the city, many of them remain over
head on poles that ought to have been
removed long ago. All that Is re
quired is the expense of purchasing
the wire and stringing it through the
conduits that await it.
The overhead wires must eventually
all come down. Throughout the en
tire city the most progressive of the
public service corporations requiring
wire communication are laying their
plans for the extension of the under
ground conduits. Eventually the city
must insist upon this as one of the
municipal regulations looking toward
the safety of the people and the beauty
of the streets, but it will not be in po
sition to make such a demand effec
tive until it has itself set the example.
City Council is just now preparing
its budget for the coming year. There
would seem to be no good reason why
an item should not be included look
ing toward the placing of the city
wires underground In all of the streets
in which there are at this time con
duits ready for them.
MORE VOTING PRECINCTS
AS illustrating the rapid increase
of population in the western
section of the city, a petition is
now in circulation and will be
presented to the Dauphin County
Court asking for a further division of
the Eleventh Ward into four precincts
instead of two. It has been only a
few years since the old Sixth Ward,
which comprised all of the territory
between Verbeke and Maclay streets
and the river and Sixth street, was cut
into three pieces, embracing the pres
ent Sixth, Eleventh and Twelfth
wards. But the increase of the voting
population has made necessary a still
further division of the voting districts
for the convenience of the people. At
the present time the registered voters
of the Eleventh ward number 991
517 in the first precinct and 474 in the
, Second precinct.
By reason of tho fact that this dis
. trict includes many railroad men it
h s been found inconvenient for them
to cast their ballots, owing to the
large number of voters endeavbring to
discharge the duties of citizenship af
ter working hours.
Other wards of the city are also be
coming more or less congested and
additional precincts are likely to be
authorized. ,
I EVENING CHAT I
Practically every bird which graced
a Thanksgiving board in Harrisburg
yesterday was a home-grown bird. Ac
cording to the grocers and the mar
keters, the turkeys sold in and about
this city for the annual feast W'ere all
natives. If there was a cold storage
bird in the city, it was not labeled, and
it is doubtful if any Were sold over
counters or stalls. There were too
many Pennsylvania born and bred
fowls on sale. Even the Virginia and
other southern turkeys did not get in
here. They went right straight through
to New York by the carload. Several
of the grocers of the city franklj
admit that they were surprised at the
bountiful supply of home-grown birds
Cumberland, York, Adams, Franklin
and even Perry counties contributed
"turks" to the city's tables, the sea
son, having been exceptionally good l'or
the iaising of the birds and the ship
ment. There was not much rain and
If the drought did cause trouble for
farmers and throw back the season l'or
planting wheat it enabled large flocks
of turkeys to reach adult stage and to
be available for marketing this fall.
As a result many farmers weeks ago
booked orders for gobblers and hens
and were able to deliver fresh, tooth
some fowls in this city at prices such
as we used to pay for the toughest
kind of cold storage turkey a few years
ago. It was fine to get the home
grown birds again.
Governor Tener has set an example
for staying in the State Capital for
holidays and has spent practically
every important feast day in the Ex
ecutive Mansion. The Governor ate
turkey here yesterday and will prob
ably spend his last Christmas as Gov
ernor in Harrisburg. He has kept
evefy other Christmas, here during his
term and has always been here on New
Year's Day.
A lot of kids have been tempting
Providence and worrying their parents
the last few days playing that old
fashioned, risky game, "tlckley-ben
der." The first requisite of this pastime
is thin Ice. It does not matter how
deep the water may be under the ice
provided the surface is hard enough
to crack and not break under foot.
The favorite places are along the river
front and the kids are having fine
times going along the spots where tht,
ice will crack with a resounding noise
and not break up. In old days the
canal and the ponds at Price anil Wis
ter furnaces used to furnish first-class
places for the boys of those days to
play "tickley" and more than one task
for the coroner was provided. Taking
of the sewage out of the river has
enabled the water to freeze closer to
the banks thiin formerly and the dan
ger may not be so great, but there is
always risk.
Frank Haas, a well-known Shamo
kin newspaper man who has visited
here a number of times, will be a can
didate for treasurer in Northumber
land county,next fall. Mr. Haas ran
last time, but it happened that he was
hit by a Democratic wave. Now that
the Republicans have come home
again he plans to run again and has
been telling Harrisburg friends that he
will win.
"What happened to Indian sum
mer?" was the question asked vester
day of a man who follows the weather.
"Oh, it came in spots," was the
answer. "We had some mighty fine
days and then we had some bad davs.
I guess when we count it up we had
as much Indian summer as we gen
erally do along the Susquehanna."
One of the city's veteran firemen in
talking about the coming sale of Ix>-
chlel "Row" recalled the time the
whole thirty-two houses then compris
ing the "Row" burned to the ground.
"It was at 8 o'clock on the evening ot
April 6, 1878, yiat an alarm came in
from Box No. 12 and it looked as
though the whole lower end of tho
town was on lire," said he. "This box
was at Race and and Hanna and was
then the lowest one in the city. It is
now at Front and Dock under the
same number. The row 'burned like
tinder and over in Cumberland county
people thought there was a terrific fire
raging in Harrisburg and got nervous
about it. The eight companies then
comprising the department were in
service and I remember seeing the en
gines of the Friendship, Hope, Citizen,
Paxton and Good AVill companies lined
tip along Paxton creek pumping water
for the lines. The loss attached to the
fire was about $12,000 and it made
many people homeless and caused
much suffering."
The importance of the Industrial
Welfare and Efficiency Conference
held in this city last week is strikingly
emphasized by the big trade publi
cations which all carry references to
it, one newspaper of International
fame devoting a page to discussing tho
objects and addresses of the confer
ence.

DEFEAT BROUGHT
BIG HEARTBURNING
Democratic and Bull Moose Lead
, ers at War With Each Other
Over the Slaughter
ROWS ARE BREAKING OUT
Old Guard Will Charge the Reor
ganizers; Pinchot Expected
to Sound a Clarion
—Overwhelming defeat is not beins
gracefully borne by either the Demo
cratic State machine bosses or the
chieftains of the Bull Moose herd, and
there are signs that the factions.which
were clawing each other In secret dur
ing the campaigns will take up
hatchets, and have real earnest family
rows during the coming year, when
local contests will be fought out. State
Chairman Roland S. Morris Is In the
midst of a nasty Democratic fight In
Philadelphia and In several counties
there arc threats to make things lively
for the bossess of the machine. In tho
Bull Moose camp the factions which
split over the endorsement of McCor
mick are at it hammer and tongs, and
the return of Gilford Pinchot from
Florida is expected to be followed by a
statement In which a call for a reor
ganization of the party will be made.
This will precipitate a light and the
Democrats and Washingtonians will
be in the midst of rehabilitation cam
paigns, just in time to complicate local
campaigns next year.
—Tho Democratic and Washington
lan chiefs have about given up any
hopes of being able to accomplish any
thing in the coming session of the
Legislature and will plan their cam
paigns in such a way as to make all
the trouble possible for the Republi
can majority. The Republicans, how
ever, will be ready for them and will
put through bills in accordance with
their program. As the defeated par
ties will not be ablo to kick about
bills, they will select some details and
make wild cries about betrayal of the
people, etc., in order to have some
campaign thunder next time.
-—Henry M. Dubbs, a Philadelphia
Bull Alooser of the militant type, has
contributed to the joy of the end of
the year by announcing that he Is for
William FUnn for President in 191l> if
Colonel Roosevelt decides lie does not
want another cup of coffee. Such a
movement is hoped by the Washing
tonians to induce Flinn to put up the
maintenance charges, as it is feared
that Pinchpt will not have much time
for the chair-warmers.
- —The Philadelphia Ledger ,in an
after-a-holiday article on politics to
day, lias this to say about the coming
warfare in the State Democracy: "The
Pal mer-McCormick-Morris leadership
in tho Democratic State organization,
although defeated In the last election,
already is beginning to lay the lines
and dig the trenchep for another State
wide battle with the Democratic 'Old
Guard.' In a word, the 'Reorganiza
tion' leaders, now in control of the
State committee, are preparing for the
tight that the 'Old Guard' will make In
1916 with the object of winning con
trol of the party machinery."
—Republicans in Allegheny county
have arranged to put through a policy
of tax rate reduction.
—M. J. Murray is the new Lycom
ing county scaler of weights and
measures.
| —Commenting upon the fact that
Gifford Pinchot plans to have offices
and apartments in Philadelphia and a
legal residence in Pike county, the
Democratic Philadelphia Record scents
an attempt by Pinchot to get the
leadership of the Bull Moosers in this
State. The Record says: "According
to reports in Bull Moose circles, Mr.
Pinchot, like his brother, Amos, has
some criticisms of his own to make
on the management of the Progressive
movement, and now that the campaign
is over is prepared to call a spade a
spade. While Mr. Pinchot's personal
relations with the Bull Moose leaders
were most amicable, it was generally
understood that he was opposed to fu
sion on McCormick for Governor and
that he went along on the proposition
only through tho stress of circum
stances. Mr. Pinchot was said to be
inclined to a straight Bull Moose
ticket, and in favor of fusion only in
case Palmer would withdraw in lila
interest. His close friends were par
ticularly bitter during the last weeks
of the campaign when Palmer insisted
upon remaining in the field, and con
siderable criticism was made of the
sacrifice of Lewis to help McCormick
without the Bull Moose candidate for
Senator receiving any open aid in ex
change. In fact, the only satisfaction
the Pinchot coterie has been ablo to
find out of the entire campaign was
the even more miserable showin:;
made by Palmer, through the latter
running third in the race."
—State Chairman Roland S. Mor
ris, of the Democratic State commit
tee, Is expected here on Monday to
discuss with Democratic State leaders
the continuance of the headquarters
in this city. The people connected
with the State headquarters hero do
not believe that it is the intention to
close up the Harrisburg end and to
concentrate all party acUvity in the
headquarters opened by Mr. Morris
at 147 South Broad street, Philadel
phia, for the reason that one of the ob
jections urged by the present leaders
during the reorganization fight was
that the real headquarters were kept
in Philadelphia. During the campaign
the State committee hud half a dozen
branch headquarters, but they have
been closed. It Is probable that be
cause of expense the headquarters
h«re will be reduced In size and that
the chairman will have his personal
headquarters in Philadelphia.
—Formal announcement of candi
dacy for Speaker ts expected to be
made by William H. Wilson In Phifa
delphla within a few days, and the
fight will then be precipitated. R. J.
Baldwin, R. P. Habgood and F. C.
Ehrliardt are already in the field and
George W. Williams and H. I. Wilson
are expected to join.
These are the views of Chairman
Crow on the legislative organization:
"The speakership should go to .the
country and I think it will. It should
be remembered that the Republican
State ticket was. elected without the
votes of Allegheny and Philadelphia
counties, and the people of the so
called country counties have a great
er right than ever to name the speak
er. In addition to this the next presi
dent pro tempore of the Senate comes
l'rom Allegheny county. Senator
Charles H. Kline is entitled to this of
fice und there will be no question
about his receiving it. While I be
lieve the speaker will come from a
county outside of Allegheny and Phil
adelphia, I have no preferences. Any
| good man -living in that territory will
be satisfactory to me."

I'm satisfied my statement
Was absolutely right.

tetfjBOOKS and gfl§
The Putnam's announce for publi
cation at the end of November "In
the Supreme Court of Civilization, the
Dual Alliance vs. The Triple Entente,"
by James M. Beck, formerly assistant
attorney general of the United States.
This book is an amplification and re
statement of an article which Mr.
Beck contributed to the New York
Times, the Philadelphia Public Led
ger and the Boston Herald, In which,
as a lawyer, he analyzed the British
and German White Papers, the Rus
sian Orange Paper and the Belgian
Gray Paper and reached certain con
clusions upon this documentary evi
dence as to the moral responsibility
for the great European conflict. The
article attracted very general atten
tion in England, Canada and the
United States, and has been translat
ed into French for republication in
that country. It was regarded by men
of all classes as one of the most nota
ble contributions to the literature of
the war and there was an immediate
and widespread demand for its publi
cation in permanent form.
Dr. Edmund von Mach, of Harvard,
and many others contraverted Its con
clusions by contributed articles, and in
amplifying his article, Mr. Beck baa
made very substantial additions to his
previous argument, in which he ans
wers the comments of his critics and
gives additional reasons for the con
clusions at which he arrived as a re
sult of a painstaking and juridical
analysis of the vital State documents
and diplomatic "conversation" which
preceded the war.
A volume that has been prepared by
Douglas Sladen, author of ""Cgypt and
the English," has just been issued un
der the title of "The Real Truth About
Germany: Facts About the War."
Mr. Sladen has taken as his text a
pamphlet which, while not formally
published, has been widely circulated In
the United States, entitled "The Truth
About Germany." This pamphlet was
prepared In Germany under the super
vision of a committee of representa
tive Germans, and may fairly be de
scribed as the "official justification of
the war." Care has been taken to pre
vent copies from finding their way In
to England, which has caused Mr. Sla
den to describe the pamphlet as "The
Secret White Paper." He has taken
up one by one the statement of the
German writers, and has shown how
little foundation most of these state
ments have and how misleading are
others which contain some element of
truth. In answering the Germrin state
ments, Mr. Hladen has naturally taken
the opportunity to state clearly the
case of England. England claims that
It was Impossible to avoid going into
this struggle if it was to keep faith
with and fulfill Its obligations to Bel
glum and Luxemburg. Apart from
this duty. It ts the conviction of Eng
land that It Is fighting not only in ful
fillment of obligations and to prevent
France from being crushed a second
time, but for self-preservation. The
rierman threat has been made openly:
"first Paris, then London."
The publishers have thought It de
sirable, In order to make the fullest
possible presentation of the case for
Great Britain, to Include In this volume
The Nerves and Their Needs
We do not give much thought to our
nervous system when It Is working all
right but when It goes wrong nature
has a way of calling It forcibly to our
attention by something that we can
not overlook—pain.
Try to reach a painful nerve with
medicine of any sort and you are con
fronted with a fact that every doctor
knows, thaj the only way to reach the
nerves Is through the blood.
You see now why Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, the great tonic for the blood,
are also a great nerve builder. When
a nerve becomes Inflamed and painful
It is—unless caused by an accident—
because the blood was not giving It the
elements of nourishment it needed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood, the nerves are strengthened, the
Inflammation subsides and the pain
vanishes. By keeping the blood rich
and red by the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills the danger of nervous
breakdown. Insomnia, nervous indi
gestion and other disorders caused by
111-nourished nerves Is greatly lessen
ed. In children the use of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills banishes the fear of
St. Vitus' dance.
The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y., will send free on
request a good little book on Ner
vous Disorders. Write for It to-day.
