None but the finest, tallest, shapeliest tree will do. Some difficulty is being found In locating one coming up to requirements. Time was when Harrisburg boys went annually into the woods surrounding the city and brought back all the Christmas trees they could carry. That could not bo done to-day, but there are, not many miles from Harrisburg, pines and spruces large enough and handsome enough to serve as the center of the city's Christmas Jubilee. At all events, a tree will be found; rlmply must be found for that matter. The celebration last year was so thor oughly enjoyable, so Christmas-like in spirit, emblematic of neighborly kind ness and good cheer, that it must not he allowed to lapse, even though we have to send to far-off mountains for a tree. SEREXO E. PAYXE THE death of Sereno E. Payne removes from the House of Representatives not only the oldest Congressman in point of service, but one of the strongest and most picturesque figures in the na tional law-making body. The subject of malicious and un called-for attacks during life, by po litical opponents unable to swerve him from the path of duty as he saw it, his true worth is attested by the fact that the national capital has gone into mourning for him, with flags at half mast and with Democrats and Progressives as well as his fellow Re publicans joining in testimonials of their esteem for him. Payne attained national prominence when the Dingley tariff bill was framed and was the author of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, target for Democratic broadsides in the 1912 campaign. That Payne was right in his high tariff policies even Democrats are now admitting. No doubt he erred in some of his schedules, but at all events the mistakes he made in too much pro tection never brought the country to the depths of indu-trial depression now being experienced as a result of the near-free trade policies of his opponents. MUST SHE OBEY? AN Indiana wedding ceremony was stopped because the bride insisted that the clergyman should omit the word "obey" and the bridegroom insisted that he use it. She is not the first. She will not be the last. That little word "obey" has long been a terrible bother. But, after all, it makes little differ ence whether the woman verbally promises to obey or not. The mere words of the marriage ceremony count for little. The real feeling and prom ises of marriage lie deeper than the Hps or else they do not exist at all. It Jb not any word of Scripture, or law, or a promise in the marriage ser vice which makes the husband the senior and ruling partner, but nature and the force of circumstances. The secret force lies in her character no less than in his. The omission of the word in the service Is nothing new, and it has never been apparent that it makos the slightest difference. Cold-blooded agreement that eliminates natural sentiment leaves marriage barren of the sweet Impulses and the tender sac rifices that alone can consecrate It. INCREASING BEEF SI'I'PIJY SECRETARY HOUSTON is quite right in saying that the country can greatly increase its beef sup ply at comparatively small cost and without the sacrifice of other farm products. We have been thinking of cattle raising too long In the terms of the big ranch. The vast herds of the great western grazing grounds have discour aged many farmers from attempting to compete. But the western stock is falling off in numbers every year and Pennsylvania has thousands of acres of fine grazing land on which number less head of steers might range and care for themselves throughout the warm months. Stable-fed in the win ter, these would bring good prices in the Spring, afkl at the same time the farmer would find a use for his crops SATURDAY EVENING, in a profitable way without taking them from the farm. Some thrifty Pennsy Iranians are making very comfortable- profits by practicing this method and the market for choice home-grown cattle Is ever growing at fancy figures. In some Quarters of Virginia beef production has been reduced to such a fine art that there Is a constant demand In England for the cattle grown there. Not a head Is killed in this country. All goes to grace the tables of British nobility. Pennsylvania has the same opportunity. TRUE BROTHERHOOD FRATERNAL, organizations of Har risburg coufd do nothing better this Yuletlde than emulate the Loyal Order of Moose In Its Christmas charity work. The Moose have completed plans for providing a bit of cheer to dozens of poor and needy in the West End and to bring Santa Claus into the lives of at least a hundred urchins who ordi narily would find their stockings empty when they arose from their none too warm beds on Christmas morning. When an organization does this sort of work it proves that it is made up of big-hearted men and that the spirit of true brotherhood pervades the rank and file of the order . ARE YOU "ON THE SCENT" EVERYWHERE Is heard the cry, "This is the day of Young Men." But is it? Do you happen to know the ages of Edison, Generals von Kluck, von Hindenberg and Joffre, "Uncle Joe" Cannon, Dr. Eliot and a host of other leaders in various realms of thought and action? Are any of them thirty? Or are they nearer sixty, or beyond? No man need be old unless he de liberately hardens his intellectual ar teries by refusing to watch out for the new thing, the "young" thing, If you please. There need be no "dead line," judging by the achievements of men such as those named. The older they get the keener they are on the scent of a new idea. Are you still on the scent? That means you, Mr. Young Fellow of twenty-five, just as well as Mr. Flfty-and-Beyond. THE BRAVEST OF' ALL IF a dispatch from the scenes of the war can be believed, the bravest of all In the blood-red countries are the young women. So that the flower of the German manhood may be maintained in the next generation, scores of "war wed dings" are taking place in every vil lage and town of the Fatherland. Often there is not time to perform one ceremony for each couple, and maidens and lovers kneel in groups, intoning the service all together. The brides take iron rings Instead of gold ones and then after the shortest possible honeymoon the men hurry away to their regiments. None of the brides of the "war wed dings" know how soon they will be widows. None know how they may have to struggle to keep from starva tion the son or daughter whom a fallen husband has never seen. But they do know that the wonderful Ger man birth rate will be maintained. Is it any wonder the German men can fight, when they are the sons of such women? BUY or "THE HOME FOLKS" ARE you buying American-made goods? Or do you have to find a Euro pean trademark on your hat, your gloves, your laces, your linens, your this or that, before you pull your good American dollars out of your purse. More than likely you are using American-made materials now, per force. In all probability, the war has made compulsory your wearing gar ments manufactured in the home land. Now think a moment—aren't they Just as good and in many cases better than the things made across the sea? Then why not buy homemade goods from now on? Every time you lay down a dollar for something with an import stamp upon it you are sending a big portion of that dollar to the European manufacturer. Every time you pay it for something "Made in America" you are putting your money into the pocket of the American manu facturer. Why not patronize "the home folks"? HOME RULE FOR CITIES ITY CLERK CHARLES A. MIL LER'S proposal that the next \- Legislature grant home rule to the cities of Pennsylvania is well worth considering. Mr. Miller, who has made a study of municipal law for more than a quarter of a century, Is of the opinion that the State lawmaking body, no matter how wise it may be, cannot legislate for the various cities of the Commonwealth nearly so well as those cities can legis late for themselves. He believes It would have been much wiser for the last Legislature to have passed a law permitting all third class municipali ties to frame, and adopt their own constitutions than to have forced on all of them a form of government that was at Its best merely an experiment and which was distasteful to many of them. This is good argument. How absurd It is for Harrisburg, a railroad, manu facturing and Jobbing town without seaport, to be compelled to conduct its affairs under regulations that have been laid down for Erie, a maritime city, whose interests are in no way analogous to ours. It would seem to be good common sense to let the cities conduct their own government according to their own needs and desires, so long a* they keep within the constitutional limits of the State at large. AN EVENING THOUGHT Before man made us citizens, great Nature made us men. •—Lowell. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 It la an interesting and, at the same time, gratifying fact for the people of this city and vicinity to note, In the midst of the discussion of National Guard preparedness that the three organizations of the militia in Har risburg have always been noted for keeping up their strength. One of the prime causes of wholesale criti cism of the militia of the country is that the number of men on the rolls is not what Is demanded by the na tional scheme of defense. Of course, these reports are baaed on what Is found in the weakest State, the splen did organizations maintained by Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and other States not being mentioned at all. It Is well established by the offi cial records that the companies of in fantry and the troop of cavalry in Harrisburg have been kept up to the mark. As a oule these organizations have a waiting list. The membership in the Governor's Troop has probably not been below the minimum half a dozen times in Its existence and then only for a few days or until new en listments could be entered. Com panies D and 1 have time and again taken the required number of men to camp and turned them out on inspec tion day, while announcement of va cancies has been followed by numer ous applications for the places. Bet ter still, the organizations in this city have been a matter of local pride and the companies and troop have had the support and confidence of their peo ple. No city in the State has shown more interest In its military organiza tions than Harrisburg and if the word came from the authorities there would be no trouble raising another infantry company or a battery of artillery which would have as strong a per sonnel of good soldiers as any of the present organizations. And the popu lar support would be just as great. Shooting matches do not appear to have lost anything In ponular favor, especially in the rural districts and apparently the number of men who have a liking for a gun is growing. Al most every Saturday afternoon there are matches held near the city and the sportsmen from Harrisburg and Steel ton and the smaller towns gather to bang at marks and to try to show that they are better than each other in the fundamentals of national de fense. Some of the scores hung up lately are said to be excellent and to show that the men of Dauphin are as keen with, the gun as were their fore fathers who could kill squirrels by hitting the limb of the tree upon which they sat with a rifle bullet. Officials at one of the departments of the State government are smiling over some resignations that have appeared lately and they are wondering where the senders get their ideas. One man sent in his resignation as a Justice of the peace because he had applied for appointment as postmaster of his town. The offices of Justice and post master are incompatible, but people at the Capitol are wondering why the man got the idea that he could not serve as an arm of the law while ap plying for a place as postmaster. Men connected with the govern ments of a number of the cities of the State have been among the callers at the city offices in increasing number lately with the very apparent desire of getting pointers on how to run the governmental branches committed to their care. It is a well-known fact that Harrisburg had more success with the old third-class city act than any other city in the State and there is great interest in the manner In which It has tackled the intricacies of the Clark third-class city commission gov ernment act. Firemen about the city are asking when the next motor fire apparatus is to be purchased for the department and there will be lively competition for the pieces to be bought. It is likely that the apparatus will be bought soon as the demand for such'i pieces is growing. Many of the small towns about Harrisburg have such ap paratus and Inasmuch as this city has a very large area of paved streets the efficiency of fire machinery would be greatly Increased through the mo bility of the. automobile appliances. The close of the rabbit hunting sea son Is taking a good many people into the fields and It has been noted that in spite of the bad weather prevailing this week that numerous hunters have been out after the frisky cottontails. Yesterday no less than a dozen could be seen from Reservoir park, a man and woman being prominent among those who were gunning. The hills back of Steelton are another favorite place for gunners these days. More than 250 of the city's own young trees, trees that had been In stalled as mere shoots in the city nursery on the island and raised and cared lor under the direction of the park department, have been planted along the river parks and the streets thus fat this year. The cold weather recently Interfered with the planting work but It Is the park officials' in tention to go on as soon as the cold snap abates. All told 202 young trees have been set out In the river parks between Iron alley and State street. Fifty-one have been planted in some sections of street.s 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —John A.

I DO YOU KKIQW— l That this city lias been the State Capital for 102 years and a county sent since the county was formed? Robert Haven Schauffler, whose book "The Joyful Heart" has recently been published by Houghton Mifflin Company, does many things well. His defence of the versatility of Dr. S. Wier Mitchell, which appeared In the Century a few days before Dr. Mitchell's death, might have served also as a defence of the versatility of Robert Haven Schauffler. — Stealing a Good Name No theft is so serious as the theft of a good name. It is irreplaceable. The man who tries to Induce a customer to take something "Just as good" instead of an article of standard merit is do ing just that. He is stealing another's good name for prottt. He is hurting a manufactur er and hurting ills customer. Get what you ask for. Do not deal with the man who offers something "Just as good." HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH / Above Every Name \ ( He who first wrote the name, wrote It at the end of Hie list ! —below every name. He was a i Roman officer, charged with the duty iof the censuß in the district about [ Bethlehem. All day long the line of | tired pilgrims had filed before the i desk. At last the wearying record I was completed: the officer set hlm ' self to casting up the columns. Then , suddenly a shadow fell across the | page. He turned Impatiently toward | the doorway to see the figure of a stalwart man outlined against the set iting sun, a child In his arms. "I could not come earlier," he said, "the child was born last night." "You are at the Inn?" the officer asked. "No—we arrived too late; the babe was born in a manger." "Your name?" "Joseph." "Of what tribe?" "The tribe of Benjamin and David. We arq the descendants of Kings," he added. The officer did not look up. The world was full of the sons of for mer kings—and now there was no king but Caesar—Lord of the Earth by right of war. "Your wife's name?" "Mary." "And the child's?" "Jesus." The voice of the big man was soft, as though fondling the sylla bles. "It means the Saviour of his people." The officer merely nodded. "Jesus, son of Joseph, of the tribe of Benjamin," he wrote, and closed the book. It was the last name on his list. In other years men have written His name high or low, according to the temper of the time. There have been generations In which no business was so urgent as the task of adding glory to that Name. And again, suddenly, the flags of battle have flown high; the lowly banner of His Cross trails behind them, in the dust; in guilty afterthought the rulers turn to 1m- LEGISLME TO DO WORK QUICKLY Will Be Organued and Put Into Operation Without Much De lay Early Next Month There will not be much oratory and precious little of the filibustering and other tactics that were so freely em ployed in the last Legislature when the General Assembly of 1915 gets down to business. Aready plans are being made to expedite business and as there will not be as much inflam mable material introduced and not as J many carping critics along the side lines as in 1913, rapid progress is pre- , dieted by men who have been observ ing the preliminaries. That there will be a short session everyone agrees and people from the members-elect to the leaders of local politics in every county are declaring for a cessation of legislation that will annoy business. In fact, the feeling in regard to business legislation in the State is much like it is regarding congressional activities. To begin with there will not be as much demanding of things in the name of the people by little cliques.

The Democratic State headquarters in the Spooner building, which have borne the golden head windmill flag from the days when the reorganizers got ccntroi of tna Democratic State machine, are a th ug of the past.

Some psople here arf. wonder ing what George W. Guthrie, who was so insistent on headquarters here, away from the big cities, would say about it. —Governor-elect Brumbaugh may take a hand in the speakership con test, according to word from Phila delphia. It has been expected that he will show an active interest. Yes terday R. J. Baldwin, the Delaware county candidate, had a conference with him and said it was satisfactory. R. P. Habgood, of McKeen, saw Sen ator E. H. Vare, who informed him that he would be for William H. Wil son, of South Philadelphia, if Wilson saw fit to enter the field. —According to the Philadelphia Press to-day Dlmner Beeber, Phila delphia banker and lawyer and once candidate for Mayor, former Judge and authority on municipal affairs, Is to be Attorney General. Judge Beeber is a former resident of Williamsport. —Ex-Mayor William A. Magec, of Pittsburgh, who was at Washington a few days ago presenting his views on tne Ohio canal, turned in Philadelphia yesterday and defclared that he was not in politics, but engaged in furthering the canal project. —City Chairman Bromley, of the Philadelphia Democracy, yesterday declared that a movement for a de velopment of the Democratic leader ship In the State was essential. He declared that broader men than those now in control of the Democratic ma chine were needed if the party was to amount to anything. Bromley indi cated that the movement referred to In the Telegraph some days ago was under way in the State. —At Washington yesterday subpenas were Issued by Representative Lloyd, chairman of the committee on ac counts, for the presence of Represen tative* J. H'. Rothermel, of Reading; Charles S. Coles, of Allentown; H. W. Elliott and A. F. Gallagher to appear before the committee next week to testify with reference to charges made by Coles that Congressman Rothermel agreed to the padding of the account to Elliott to the extent of SBOO. El liott and Gallagher are the experts whose accounts are alleged to have been padded In connection with an Investigation made by the committee on expenditures In the Department of Commerce, of which Rothermel is chairman. —State Senator Edwin H. Vare de- I clared yesterday that, so far as he was j concerned, Governor-elect Brumbaugh was wholly free to make his Cabinet and other appointments in accord ance with his own best judgment. "I urged Dr. Brumbaugh's nomination and did all In my power to bring about his election," Senator Vare observed, "but I did It for -what I believed were sound party reasons and in the belief plore His blessing, placing His name again at the end of their ambitions and hate. But His name cannot occupy that place. Underneath the roar and smoke of battle there are signs to-day that the world Is groping Its way back to Him. One finds them In the market place, the council chamber, and the office. Kven In the midst of battles come cries of men In their helpless ness, putting His name above that of their leaders. Wherever families Kather silently about a vacant chair, His name Is breathed on the lips of women and of little children. When, at length, weary of war, the world turns Its scarred, blood-bathed face, seeking peace, It will be His name In which its prayer will be raised. Across the ruin of men's hopes His voice will answer back: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." Out of the war will be born a new list of heroes. But when these, too. In time shall have been forgotten, the eyes of men will still turn upward to behold His name. Among rulers, His yoke alone Is easy, His burden light. Among re formers, He alone dared to teach men that they are relatives of God and so the equal of their kings. He, too, was torn and wounded. But in the moment when the world had crushed Him He could say: "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." For faith like that, the tired race is ready now. The age is ripe for Him again.

I will not even endorse—ln fact, have refused I to do so—any person for any appoint linent in advance of Dr. Brumbaugh's I taking office next month.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES The Putnams have just published waht is confidently believed by many to be one of the most noteworthy additions to American literature. Judge Malone has handled with strength and vigor a theme sufficiently remote to give It the romantic gla mour ( of the Renaissance, and yet which breathes, at the same time the restless spirit of America. Alfred Austin said of the epic: "I find in your verse deference to the best traditions of English poetry, and a rare power of continuous yet never tiresome narrative." And Jesse B. Rittenhouse, in writing to the au thor. says: "You really have done a remarkable piece of work. I marvel at the way you have accomplished It."
