Its people are preparing to celebrate the great holiday In a truly Christmas fashion. The whole town will rally around an Immense municipal Christmas tree on the evening of December 24 and every child of the community, rich and poor alike. Is to receive a present from one of the numerous Santa Claus helpers who have volunteered for the work on that occasion and there will be a bas ket of substantial fare for every poor family the committee in charge can locate. Not only that, but, best of all, everybody in Lemoyne, high and low. Is having a hand in the preparations and all are doing their tasks with a zeal and cheerful good will pleasing to observe. Not only does this mean a very merry Christmas f6r all Lemoyne, but It shows that the citizenship of the town Is of a high type and that the borough is awake to the fact that the modern municipality is more than a mere congregation of human habita tions. Lemoyne has set an example • not only for all the West Shore, but for the State and nation as well. Egypt has again demonstrated that it is a "land of darkness" by throwing in its lot with the Turk. THE GERMAN PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHS from the war zone—one of which appeared on the first page of the Telegraph Wednesday show the German soldier in a far different light from that In which he has been painted by some writers of the war. So much of vandalism ha? been laid at the door of the German army that it has been easy to accuse the individual German soldier of cruelty and other conduct at variance with preconceived no tions of the typical German. Doubt less there has been brutality on both sides, but the average German is no more to blame than the average private in the ranks of the allies. The pictures that have been snapped at the front show the Kaiser's men feeding homeless boys and girls who flock fearlessly about them, smil ing and confident of receiving their fair share of the distribution. Yet these are the self-same soldiers who are charged with gross misconduct toward noncombatants In the war zone. SERVTA JUSTIFIED AGED King Peter, of Servia. is back in the ancient capital of his nation. The Invader has been driven not only from Bel grade, but from Servia soil as well. Only last week King Peter went down into the trenches where his sturdy little army was facing the Aus trian hordes, with its back to the wall and the courage of desperation In its heart. "Servians," he cried, "I have come to fight and die with you," and prompted by the heroic example of their king the gallant little band of defenders arose and smote the Aus trians hip and thigh, sending them pell-mell across the border and leav ing behind to the victorious Servians hundreds oi thousands of dollars worth of munitions of war. Wo hear much of the virtue of military preparedness and the prepon derance of numbers. Both play their Important parts in the great conflict now raging, but the spirit that kept Washington's barefoot soldiers toeing the mark at Valley Forge while they left their bloody marks on the snow they trod, and which took his little army across the ice-filled Delaware at midnight to face an unknown foe, is In the end the predominant factor in any struggle. It has always been so and always will be. The Servians have demonstrated be yond doubt their right to independ ence as a nation. They deserve the congratulations showered upon them. They have just cause to rejoice. They have justified their long fight for na tional existence. They have in them the spirit of a free and sovereign peo ple. A CLEVER FATHER A NEWS dispach from Madison, Wis., Is authority for the state ment that inconspicuously among the ranks of apprentices on the payroll of the Madison branch of the International Harvester Corapnny ap FRIDAY EVENING, . HARRISBURG & TELEGRAPH" DECEMBER 18, 1914. pears the name of Cyrus McCor mlck, 3d. heir to millions. Ostensibly Cyrus McCormlck is Just one of the army which transacts the daily busi ness of the implement corporation. In reality he is the chief future owner of the vast company. He is the son of Cyrus H. McCormlck, 2d, president of the International company, and the grandson of the first Cyrus McCor mlck. Inventor of the McCormick reaper. A week ago to-day a man of twenty three. says the dispatch, appeared at the office of Mr. Brumbaker with a letter of Introduction In Ms pocket from the president of the International company. In substanc'elt read: This is my son. Cyrus McCormlck. He wants to learn the harvester business from the ground up. I am sending him to you. Do the best you can. In these days of joy-riding, speed craav, actress-courting, champagne drinking, money-burning heirs to fa mous fortunes, the Madison item comes as a refreshing variation of the usual order of things. Young McCormlck may not depend solely for his liveli hood on the meager salary he earns as a mere cog In the wheels of the great harvester machine. There is no good reason why he should. The thing is that he Is not being pampered as a son of luxury, but is being required to learn how it Is to be on hand when the whistle blows at seven and to work as man among men. That Is the good thing. Old Cyrus McCormlck is evi dently as clever a father as he Is a financier. Pennsylvania Is not entirely denuded of forests, when one lumber company alone paid $25,000 taxes on standing timber in Elk county this year. MAX-MADE LAWS JUSTICE BLACKMAR, of the New York State Supreme Court, held in n decision yesterday in Brooklyn that the economy of a wife in sav ing part of the money given her by her husband for the family maintenaee does not make her owner of a cent of the funds so saved. This remarkable decision was made in the suit of Charles S. Montgom ery, Jr.. against Mrs. Emma Lee Mont gomery. The evidence showed that years ago the Montgomerys started a joint bank account. Every week she saved a part of the money her hus band gave her for household uses and i deposited it. In November last there was on deposit SGIB. Then the couple quarreled, and when Montgomery tried to draw the money he discovered his wife had stopped ■ payment. In deciding that the bank account is Montgomery's property. Jus- ! tice Blackmar wrote: I regret to say that our law has not reached the point of holding that property which is the joint re sult of the earnings of the hus band and the wife is their joint property. No matter how careful and provident the wife may be, and no matter if such prudence" is really the cause of the accumulation of savings, if the money originally be longed to the husband it is still his. unless the evidence shows a gift to his wife. No wonder the -suffrage movement has grown in this country! The law that awards all to the husband and nothing to the wife is like giving the man legal right to say: "What's yours is mine, and what s mine is my own." The provisions of this statute are so absurd that it is difficult to understand why it has been allowed to remain on the statute books, unless we accept the dictum of the suffragists that all exist ing laws are man-made for the benefit | of man. The death of Frank Hohl at the hands of the police in Cincinnati is not i surprising. The wonder is that -Jje was able to follow his career of crime so long. v UXCLE SAM AXD FATHER PKX.N THE opinion rendered by Attorney tieneral John C. Bell a day or! so ago, when he decided that State certificates and licenses did not require a federal war tax stamp, not only cleared up what had been bothering some of the State's officials, but very definitely settled where the authority of the federal gov ernment ends In Pennsylvania's gov ernment. The opinion, which is fortified by many citations from federal and State court opinions, says that the same principles which exempt the State from taxation by the United States government apply to State officials in reference to the tax. It is not a mat ter of concern to Father Penn how Uncle Sam gets his war tax. Penn sylvania officials are named to dis charge duties provided by State laws anfl the national government can not make them agencies for collection of its taxes. Where the Washington gov ernment gives aid to the militia or the highways it has certain rights, but su pervision over Pennsylvania affairs ends there. President Wilson has determined to "starve" Tammany Hall to bring it to terms. But Tammany has shown that while it can go a long time without much food, when eating time does come around It is hungrier than ever. Possibly the Czar and the Emperor could not agree on an armistice be cause the Czar does not agree with the Emperor as to the date on which Christmas should be observed. The Servians seem to be engaged In chasing the Austrian army up to the Russian front at Cracow. Now we believe that Christmas Is really coming. The sale of Christmas trees in Market Suare has been started. That is a sure sign never known to fail. Looks much like a verv merry Christmas for the coal man and the plumber. These are the nights when the need of a municipal lodging house is keenly felt. KW It Isn't too late to shop early. Utile tw»yu are skating on the river. Indications point to the early reconven ing of tlio coroner' 3 Jury. I EVENING CHAT I The current number of the Electric Hallway Journal, the leading paper of street railway and Interurban trans portation In the country, devotes con siderable attention to the recent con vention of the Pennsylvania Street Railway Association here and also to the work of the Public Service Com missioners. Several pages are given up to the convention, which is consid ered by transportation men to have been one of the most Important In recent years in the Keystone State. The reports of the committees are reviewed, but much space is given to the addresses, including that of Dr. Emory It. Johnson, the Public-Service [Commissioner, whose remarks were reviewed in the Telegraph the day they were delivered. The address of Dr. John Price Jackson, Commissioner of Labor and Industry, Is also mentioned together with other set papers, the whole being taken together to show the changed conditions regarding street railway matters in Pennsyl vania. In another issue the Journal gives space to an interesting descrip tion of the work of the State Commis sion in compiling grade crossing and accident statistics, pointing out the value of such figures, when authorita tively compiled. In working to bring about safety. The room at the Hamilton Club in Lancaster in which Lancaster people gave a dinner the other evening in honor of their Mayor, Frank B. Mc- Clain, now Lleutenunt Governor-elect, is dedicated to the memory of "John Tener, house carpenter." A brass plate on the mantel tells of it and Gover nor Tener was rather surprised to see it on the occasion of his visit. It ap pears that when the old Hotel Bruns wick was torn down that the mantel, a fine hand carved affair, was taken out and presented to the club. On the back of It was found this legend: "Made by John Tener, house carpen ter. in the reign of Thomas Jefferson. May his administration he a success." It was too good to keep and they got the Governor down there a couple of years ago and showed it to him. Then William U. Hensel had the Inscription put on a brass plate. It's odd the way letters got around. The other day a letter reached Har risburg addressed "League official.", Someone at the Post Office promptly sent it to Bill Tunis, as the represen tative of Harrisburg on the Trl-State board. As it was from a man who did not know what he was writing about Tunis passed it on to the next highest official-President Tener of the National League. The governor is wondering what the letter is all about. It seems that the writer had a griev ance about a calendar, but he did not sign his name and his expres sion of thoughts is cryptic. Miss Bessie Wynne, who sings at the Orpheum this week, got her first lessons in the theatrical profession when but a slip of a girl from the late Whiting Allen, well known in Harrisburg and for years one of the leading theatrical and circus publicity men of the world. Only a few weeks before Mr. Allen died suddenly while in the harness Miss Wynne and he happened in this city at the same time, she singing at the Orpheum and he heading the Barnum and Bailey circus. Allen slipped into the audi ence and heard Miss Wynne sing. She did not know he was present. It was at the time when every popular singer thought she must add a French touch to her songs to "get them across" and although Miss Wynne's was mild enough it did not please Allen. He squirmed around in his seat until he could stand the pressure no longer and then asked to go back of the scenes. Permission was granted .and after greeting each other as long separated friends ought, Allen read Miss Wynne a fatherly lecture on the kind of songs she ought to sing. Next performance Miss Wynne changed her bill to suit the ideas of Allen and the response of the audience was so en thusiastic that she has stuck to the advice of the circus man ever since, although Allen and she never saw each other again, for only a few weeks later he died. v Live holly trees are coming more and more into fashion as Christmas gifts. Quite a few of the hot houses now make specialties of developing handsome specimens and nothing more "Chrlstmasy" can be imagined than one of these three or four foot holly trees garnished with hundreds of scarlet berries. It is said that by care these can be planted out and in time will become hardy enough to stand the cold weather pretty well, although they need quite a good deal of protection in the winter. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Harry S. Lydlck, the Pittsburgh lawyer who was here yesterday, served several terms In the House of Representatives. —John P.

It is obvious that the best medium is the one read by the greatest number of the right | people. What so answers that descrip tion so well as the newspaper? Every man, woman and child who reads at all Is a newspaper I reader. Each newspaper has a dis tinct. definite clientele, easily as certained. There need be no guess work about newspaper advertising as any expert can tell you. Manufacturers anxious to find a definite market for a given product will find news paper advertising the direct route. Information about newspapers given on request by the Bureau of Advertising.

MACHINE BOSSES MAY GET SNUBBED Democratic Legislators Will Not Stand For Any Dictation by State Chairman WILL HAVE OWN PROGRAM Speakership Will Probably Become Clarified Within a Very Short Time Say Leaders Signs are not wanting that the bosses of the Democratic State ma chine, who tried to Jam through a legislative program in the turmoil of the last legislative session, will be snubbed by the bulk of tho Democrats In the next House of Rep resentatives and .Ignored by the Demo cratic Senjitors If they make any at tempt to dictate in the coming Legis lature. The bosses had a committee known as the ringmasters' committee last session and through control of men on the fioor of the House, since rewarded by Federal offices, were ablo to make some noise. Incidentally, the same bosses offended certain other Democratic members who have been re-elected and who l have wide Influ ence among the minority this year. Plans have been made for a cau cus of the Democratic legislators of both chambers on the night of Janu ary 4 and at that time the program will be laid out without any assistance from the State Democratic committee chairman, any recent State candidates or any other men officially or finan cially connected with the State ma chine. In fagt, the control will be in the hands of the Old Guard, as al ready shown in the Telegraph. While here a few days ago, John M. Flynn. of Elk, the Democratic floor leader, said that at least thirty of the Demo cratic members of the House were friends of his. The reorganization bosses will make an effort at the Jackson Day dinner in Philadelphia to impress their views, but they will not get very far. —Decision is to be made within a few days whether William H. Wilson, Philadelphia legislator, will be a can didate for Speaker or not. If he does not announce himself it is said that the candidacy of Charles A. Ambler will be speeded up by Wilson's friends, and that F re d C. Ehrhardt. of Scran ton. will enter the race. Friends of .Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware, to day declared that he had enough members pledged to him to name him at the Republican caucus. Robert P. liabgood, of McKean, Is making an effort to secure support In Allegheny and other western counties. —John F. Norton, of Chambersburg, identified wtli the reorganization wing of the State's warring Democracy, has been named by Fred C. Kirdendall. the boss revenue collector of tho Ninth district, to be deputy for Cumberland, Franklin and Fulton counties. He succeeds J. C. Groome, of Carlisle, who got out of the way to make room for a Democrat, presumably by request. —Allegheny county's legislators are expected to have a lively time to-mor row when they meet to talk over the situation. James F. Woodward will be boomed for chairman of the House appropriations committee. —Lackawanna Republican legisla tors will have a meeting next week and will likely boom Fred C. Ehrhardt for Speaker. —A. Xovin Detrich, chairman of the | moribund Flinn wins of the Washing- I ton party, has been saying some queer ] things lately. He -is quoted recently along these lines: "The Washington I party In Pennsylvania is a political en- ' tity, is organized in every county in • the State and is fully equipped to meet nil the requirements of the election laws of Pennsylvania. Just why there should be particular interest in politi cal parties at this time I cannot see. There is no enmpaign on now. We got over that barrier more than a month ago. I think it is well to permit the people to rest free from too much po litical reading matter just now, so they may catch up on the location of the allies and pay some interest to the action of the Italian Parliament, to say nothing of Champ Clark and our own short session of Congress. When the time comes, you may rest assured that you will hear from the Washing ton party. As to 1916, that question was well answered by the executive committee of the Progressive party in Chicago last week. Our party will be in the field in 1916." —Republican State Chairman Wil liam E. Crow, who with Senator Pen rose met a number of Republican na tional committeemen in New York during the last few days, left Phila delphia last night for his home in Fayette county. "All reports indicate a spirit of confidence in the outcome of the future among Republicans gen erally," said Chairman Crow, before boarding a train at Broad Street Sta tion. "Pennsylvania's splendid vote for the full ticket has inspired Repub licans all over the country and on every hand we see a getting together of men who were apart politically In the last presidential campaign, and who now realize that all Republicans at heart must work In harmony to insure success in 1916." —The Philadelphia Inquirer of to day says: "Following the circulation of a report that Attorney General John C. Bell Is to be reappointed, there was much speculation last night among members of the bar and others, when It became known that Mr. Bell was closeted with Governor-elect Brum baugh for more than an hour yester day. Neither Dr. Brumbaugh nor Mr. Bell would admit that there was any political significance to their meeting. 'We chatted together as two old Uni versity friends,' said Mr. Bell, In dis cussing the incident. They are both graduates of the University of Penn sylvania. Mr. Bell is quite active among the alumni. To a query as to whether they discussed the Statf Pub lic Service Commission's action in the railroad rate controversy, Mr. Bell re plied that the subject was not touched upon. Admirers of Mr. Bell have been expressing the desire that he be con tinued in the cabinet and say he has been strongly Indorsed for reappoint ment." i [From the Telegraph of Dec. 18, 1864.] Rebels I.one Heavily Nashville, Dec. 18.
