THE PROHIBITION FIGHT
THE fact that the Hobson resolu
tion to submit a constitutional
amendment for national prohi
bition to the State Legislatures
was defeated in the House at Wash
ington last night is not likely to prove
discouraging to those who are urging
the passage of that measure. On the
other hand, the vote of 197 for, to only
189 against ought to give them rea
son to believe that they will be able
in the end to get the required two
thirds.
There is nothing of party organiza
tion in this light, as was demonstrated
when Democratic Leader Underwood
and Republican Leader Mann both
lined up on the floor shoulder to
shoulder in opposition to the Hobson
resolution. On the other hand, the
strength of the temperance sentiment
in Congress is amply shown by the
fact that both of these famous
"whips" were unable to prevent a ma
jority of the House from swinging into
line with the prohibitionists.
Doubtless the resolution will be
presented again next session and
thereafter as often as necessary until
it is passed. A peculiarity of the
situation is that once adopted, the
constitutional amendment resolution
remains in force until a majority of
the States have ratified it. Any num
ber of States may for any number of
years vote down the adoption of the
amendment, but if at last a.majority
of all the States adopt it, the amend
ment In question becomes a part of
the constitution. So it appears that
we arc on a fair road toward national
prohibition, no matter what the next
few years may bring forth.
THE MUNICIPAL TREE
HARRISBURG owes a debt of
gratitude to those who are ar
ranging the municipal Christ
• mas tree celebration for to
morrow evening. It Is a very good
sign when busy men and women of
varied tastes and interests enter so
heartily into any plan for the enter
tainment of the whole community.
As is always the case, the burden Is
falling on the shoulders of a compara
tive few. They must take consolation
in the thought that the whip is al
ways for the horse that pulls. They
are doing a splendid and unselfish 1
work and whether they pause to say
so or not, Harrisburg people are not
ungrateful.
HELP THE MUMMERS
THE Mummers' Association is in
need of funds. The money
ought to be forthcoming. The
organization is not a profit
making enterprise. By Its efforts hun
dreds of out-of-town people will be
brought to I-larrisburg for a day and
the city will be well advertised. There
is a possibility, if not indeed a very
lively probability, that the Mummers,
if they are properly encouraged, will
make the Harrisburg New Year's cele
bration as big a feature of the new
year in Central Pennsylvania as is the
"Shooters' " parade in Philadelphia. It
is true that our people have been
asked to give to many causes this
winter, but even so there ought to be
no great difficulty in raising the com
paratively small sum necessary to
make the Mummers' parade a success.
TAKING THE RIGHT COURSE
IT is a matter of gratification that
officials of the Livestock Sanitary
Board have taken steps to ascer
tain the exact value of the cattle
ordered killed in the State-wide effort
to check the foot and mouth disease,
and It is to be hoped that the next
Legislature will give ear to the demand
of owner* of stock that they be re
imbursed in full. The lawmakers arc
to blame in the last analysis for tho
present conditions because provision
for more generous treatment of owners
was not made when the act of 1913
was passed. No doubt prompt steps
will be taken to repay those who have
suffered losses.
When the cattle disease became
rampant the State was allowed to pay
only ?70 for an animal of registered
stock and S4O for a grade animal.
These figures are the maximum and In
certain cases cattle were valued below
those rates because they were not
worth more, but there were many in
stances in which the value of the
cattle killed was considerably more
than tho maximum, probably three or
four times as large. The State, and
the Federal government, which bore
half the cost, went as far as possible,
but for fine herds the amount offered
WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 23, 1914.
in reimbursement was pitiably short.
EftoTts have been made for years to
build up the cattle Industry of Penn
sylvania and there are magnificent
herds of blooded cattle In the State.
Constant efforts to Improve the strain
have been made and only this year
our Secretary of Agriculture Issued u
bulletin pointing out how cattle raising
can be made profitable. The exigencies
of fighting an epidemic have wiped
out some famous cattle and seriously
decreased herds in certain districts.
Even if in the end the disease does
cost the State half a million, or even
three-quarters of a million, the Legis
lature should see that the losers are
given means to restore the cattle on
which we depend and will depend
more and more. And Congress should
likewise help generously. It is a fool
ish policy to encourage cattle raising
and then fail to pay adequately for
the animals killed in efforts of public
officers to check a disease which might
have decimated the cattle of the State.
IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
IS there a Santa Claus?
This is the question that hundreds
of perplexed boys and girls of Har
rlsburg are asking to-day. For the
benefit of the little folk we reprint the
answer to this momentous question as
written by Frank P. Church, editorial
writer on the New York Sun in 1897,
when that great newspaper was owned
by Charles A. Dana. Mr. Church an
swered the question in reply to hun
dreds of letters received by the Sun
from its little friends. Possibly a bet
ter answer to "Is there a Santa
Claus?" has never been written. Here
It is:
Virginia, your little friends are I
wrong. They have been affected by I
the scepticism of a sceptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensible by
their little minds. All minds. Vir
ginia, whether they be men's or
children's, are little, in this great
universe of ours man is a mere in
sect, an ant, in his intellect, as
compared with the boundless world
about him, as measured by the in
telligence capable of grasping the
whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its
highest beauty of jcy. Alas! how
dreary would be the world If there
were no Santa Claus. There would
be no childrenllke faith then, 110
poetry, no romance to make toler
able this existence. We should
have no enjoyment, except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood lilled the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimneyq
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if tjiey did not see
Santa Claus comjng down, what
would that prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus. but that is no sign
that there is 110 Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world are
those thr t neither children nor men
can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of course not.
but that's no proof that they are
not there. Nobody can conceive or
Imagine all the wonders there are
unseen and unseeable in the world.
You might tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but ther. Is a veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even ihe
united strength of faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push
aside that curtain and view and
picture the suDernal beauty and
glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah,
Virginia, in all this world there Is
nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he
lives, and he lives forever. A thou
sand vears from now, Virginia, nay.
ten times ten thousand years from
now. he will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.
THE NEW WAY
DON'T "drink Christmas in" with
anybody to - morrow night. |
Don't wish anybody "Merry
Christmas" over an intoxicating
glass. That style of ushering in the
holiday Is as obsolete as the old Druid
rites upon which some of our early
Christmas were founded. Just
as we have outgrown those pagan
rituals, so are we now entering upon
a newer and better way of celebrating
the great holiday. Handsomo is as
handsome does, and the Merry Christ
mas wisher now accompanies Ills
words with a gift. The punchbowl and
the eggnog have given way to the
msfrketbasket and its delectable con
tents.
■i"herc is more good cheer and down- j
right enjoyment in a trip with a well
fllled basket to some needy family on
Christmas eve than in all the Christ
mas bowls that were ever brewed.
Try it and see, you who have been
accustomed to acclaim Christmas with
wassail and song.
THE THAW CASIO
THE Supreme Court of the United
States is no respecter of persons.
■Young Mr. Thaw now knows
that. He who juggled with the
law for months ran up against an
adamant wall when ho appealed to
the highest tribunal of the nation.
Neither millions nor influence, clever
lawyers nor obscure constructions of
legal points avail there.
"We regard it as too clear for
lengthy discussion that Thaw should
be delivered up at once," says the Su
premo Court in deciding thp Thaw
case.
There are those who have attempted
to besmirch the good name of this
high tribunal and to bring discredit
to it In the eyes of the people. But
always it has vindicated itself. Always
it has stood for fair play, justice and
Impartiality. It knows no friend. It
is beyond the possibility of outside
pressure. It is still living up to its
best traditions. Freedom for Thaw
would have caused no end of resent
ment, no matter what the purely tech
nical points Involved.
SYSTEMATIC GIVING
AFTER the first wave of public
giving to any great protracted
task of relief, the work of sys
tematic charity falls to the lot
of organizations created for the pur
pose. The present war is no excep
tion. Ilarrisburg responded generously
to the first rail to help the suffering
ones of the war zone, but at, that it
only began. Where spontaneous en
thusiasm ceased the Home and For
eign Relief Association has started.
It is gratifying to note that every
dollar given to this organization will
serve a double purpose. The money
raised will he expended in this city
for materials from which to make garv
ments for those made homeless by tlio
war. Thus business right here is stim
ulated and the cash kept In local cir
culation. But better even than that
Is the method by which the clothing
is to be made. Women needing the
work will be allowed to do the sewing
and will be paid for it. That 100 such
women have been found shows how
great is the suffering among the poor
here at home as well as abroad.
EVENING CHAT I
The first of the Christmas presenta
tions, which are always more or less
of an Informal part of Yuletide on the
Hill, took place this morning in the
office of "Tom" Perry, the veteran
chief clerk of the Department of In
ternal Affairs. The whole office force
assembled in the olflce with Uncle
Henry Houck at their head and Cap
tain John H. Campbell, the chief
draftsman, presented to Mr. Perry a
handsome silk umbrella as the gift of
the staff. In his little speech he re
ferred to the faithful and efficient ser
vice rendered to the State by Mr.
Perry and to the esteem which every
one from Dr. Houck down felt for him.
The event was somewhat of a "sur
prise party" for Mr. Perry, but one
who as a United States cavalryman in
his youth fought Indians in the West
and later on was a member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, could not be
stampeded. He rose to the occasion
and returned his thanks for the token
of his colleagues" regard for him and
the kindly sentiments that accom
panied the gift.
The Christmas number of the Moth
er's Magazine contains two songs with
music by Mrs. Edna Groff Diehl, of
Harrlsburg. Several well known mu
sic clubs have taken them up and
have placed one or both of them on
their Christmas programs. Mrs. Diehl's
"Aunt Este" stories have delighted
thousands of little ones through the
columns of the Telegraph. Mrs.
Diehl's first work of any consequence
appeared in the columns of this news
paper. Now her writings are pub
lished by many of the leading news
papers and magazines of the country
and she is recognized as among the
first few in the ranks of writers .for
children. Mrs. Anna H. Wood, who
also was introduced to the public
through the Telegraph, is spending the
holiday season with her mother in
New York city and will have the pleas
ure of hearing the children in one or
more of the New York schools recite
the Lincoln Birthday poem which she
contributed to the Telegraph last year
and which has since been introduced!
extensively in New York public
schools. It is an open secret that Mrs.
Wood is now at work on a story hav
ing to do with incidents and scenes of
the present war in Europe.
The Harrlsburg Public Library is
showing the Christmas spirit and the
charging desk and some of the orna
mental book cases in the central part
of the big room have been hung with
laurel, while Christmas pictures have
been placed about the shelves. The
Library will remain open until 9
o'clock on Christmas eve anil there
will be rousing woodfires in the lire
places. In accord with custom the Li
brary will be closed on Christmas and
New Year's days, but it will be open
on each of the following days. On
Saturday of this week there will be the
usual children's hours. The Library's
Christmas bookslu which contained
many suggestions for Christmas gifts
was of service to hundreds of people
who got ideasi ol' just what to buy for
relatives or friends.
One of the late announcements of
books Is one which has a Harrlsburg
interest. It is entitled "Me as a
Model." It is by W. li. Titterton, who
it seems was one of the men who posed
for the Barnard statuary in front of
the Capitol. The book is filled with
references to the days in the studio
of George Grey Barnard when Titter
ton posed with his hand over his head
or holding a mythical whispering con
versation. Ilarrisburg people might
go up to the Capitol, when weather
permits, and guess which is Titter
ton.
One of the hardy woodmen who
brings Christmas trees to the city from
the surrounding country says that he
no sooner unloads trees bearing cones
than Jhey are snapped up. These trees
are spotted some way or other about
as quick as they reach the ground and
are taken by eager buyers. Apparent
ly trees containing cones are much in
demand because they have a natural
touch which is worth while.
C. Stuart Patterson, Jr., who was
here yesterday for the meeting of the
State Board of Pardons, remarked as
he looked out of the Capitol at the
snow-covered hills that it reminded
him of Christmas during his army ser
vice in the Philippines. He spent it
chasing insurrectos through the jungle.
Percival Phillips, the correspondent
in the war in Belgium for the London
Times, is not unknown to Pennsylva
nians as he was for several years active
In newspaper work in Pittsburgh. He
was a member of the staff of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch and his work brought
him to this city. His articles arc be
jing read with Interest by friends here.
| More people have enjoyed sleighing
this year before Christmas than has
I been the case for many, many years.
I The cold weather which preceded last
] week's snow and intense cold prepared
the ground for the snowfall and it has
I made some of the roads in the coun
try Ideal for sleighing, the compara
tively mild weather of the last forty
eight hours having had little effect.
The roads in some districts near the
city are smooth and teams have been
able to make excellent time. A num
ber of farmers came to market on
Saturday in sleighs and sleds.
Fred Seliaeffer, chief of the guides
of the State Capitol, is being looked
for £ft the big building this week. He
' always takes his vacation about
I Christmas time and when he started
on his "off period," said he expected
to visit the building and be shown
through by a guide like an ordinary
citizen.

PENROSE MAKES STATEMENT
Says He Has No Candidate and
Will Not Be Drawn Into it;
Palmer Gets Peevish
—Candidates for the speakership of
the next House of Representatives ap
pear to have taken It for granted that
it is to # be a fight to the finish and ure
making strenuous efforts to secure the
pledges of members elect. The ap
pearance of Charles A. Ambler in the
field has had the effect of stirring up
partisans of Up-State men and it is
possible that more may. enter the con
test. None of the men who entered
the race the last six weeks has given
the slightest intimation of withdraw
ing.
The various candidates will open
headquarters in this city on New
Year's day and will get to work on the
incoming members who do not happen
to be pledged. It is predicted that a
largo proportion of Republicans will
elect to remain unpledged until they
reach the city.
—Senator Penrose yesterday added
some interesting comments to the sit
uation and made it plain that he was
not committed to the candidacy of
anyone. The senator said: "I can
only reiterate I am not committed to
any candidate for Speaker and 1 know
of no agreement by any considerable
number of members of the House
upon any candidate. The contest is
still an open one and it may bo diffi
cult. to pick the winner until the mem
bers get together in Harrisburg for the
Republican caucus. All the candidates
are friends of mine and up to date
there is no reason why I should inter
fere in the contest."
—Governor-elect Brumbaugh yes
terday received a delegation of mem
bers of the Civil Service Reform Asso
ciation of Pennsylvania and assured
them he favors their project for a
State-wide civil service law. He made
it clear that he would advocate a sen
sible and practical act. not a mere
theoretical measure, and that it must
be framed not only to protect the
State but to be fair to the individual.
—The name of Alexander Simp
son, Jr., eminent Philadelphia lawyer,
has been submitted by a number of
lawyers to Governor-elect Brumbaugh
for appointment as Attorney General.
James Scarlet, of Montour county,
special counsel in the State Capitol
prosecutions, has also been proposed
for this honor.
—George W. Gillespie, road com
missioner of Allegheny county, has
been recommended to the Governor
elect for State Highway Commissioner
to succeed E. M. Blgelow. of the same
county, and so has William Cornell,
chief of highways of Philadelphia.
—Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
became peeved yesterday at the man
ner In which Senator Penrose had held
up the post ollice appointments which
have been protested, especially in Sus
quehanna and Monroe counties, and
issued a statement in which ho de
nounced the senator. Inasmuch as the
senator has managed to expose some
Democratic chicanery, the statement
of Palmer is rather sharp. It will
probably have as much effect as Pal
mer's speeches in the last campaign.
—The members of the Central
Democratic Club will light out their
differences over the vice-presidency
and the house committeeship to-night.
The contest is one of the most bitter
in years and ail the animosities of the
late campaign are expected to crop up.
Officers of the club have been en
deavoring to smooth down the fuss.

THE CHIiISTMAS TURKEY
By W inn Dinger
Went to market this a. m.
With a little dough
To buy food for Christmas Day,
And I thought I'd blow,
First of all, a part of it
For a turkey, fine,
So I went a pricing them
Up and down the line.
Then I bought one that I thought
Of the proper size;
Gave up most of my long green
For my little prize.
Then no change was left to buy
Other food, but gee,
E'en though we have naught but turk,
That's enough for me.
