FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15
BUSINESS LOOKING UP
BUSINESS is looking up in Steel
ton. Ten thousand tons of
steel products booked in one
day for early delivery would
be subject for remark even in very
prosperous times and now. with the
plants operating in hand-to-mouth
fashion, it assumes almost "scare
head" Importance. But better than
the work in immediate sight Is the
prospect of the near future.
"We expect some really large or
ders soon." said an official of the com
pany in commeuting on the contracts
announced this week. Nobody has
ever accused any man connected with
the steel company of being loquacious.
They are not given to talking about
the affairs of the corporation, and
when one of them so far takes the
public into his confidence as to re
mark tnat there are better times ahead
he must be rather certain of his
ground.
At all events. It is good news and
will do much to re-establish business
confidence in Harrisburg, where the
merchants depend so largely upon the
prosperity of the steel mills for their
own prosperity.
This optimism is to be noted also
in the announcement of the Lal&nce-
Grosjean company that the uptown
plants will resume operations with
much work In sight, and also in the
tone of the weekly review of trade in
the Iron Age. All told the signs are
encouraging to the man who has re
fused to trim his sails and disrupt his
business organization because of the
heavy clouds that have darkened the
financial skies the past twelve months.
REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE
THERE is a peculiar coincidence
in the fact that almost at the
very hour of the earthquake in
Italy, scientists In the employ of;
the Italian government unearthed a'
magnificent house across whose!
threshold no human foot had passed j
since the earthquake and volcanic
eruption that destroyed Pompeii so!
many hundred years ago.
While houses of modern construe-!
<ion were being shaken to the ground <
this one was yielding up its treasures
of the past. All the frescoes of the
walls were in perfect state. One paint
ing in the sacrariurn, representing a
fight between Hercules and Achilles,
was as perfect as the day it was placed
on the wall. Two human figures in
a fair state of preservation were dis
covered where they had fallen when
the lava from the mountain overtook
them.
Strange, indeed, that the very vio
lence that buried this house and
brought death to its inhabitants should
have preserved them to be dug up and
brought to light on the very day long
»gcs thereafter that another portion
of this selfsame Italy was being laid
waste by a similar convulsion of na
ture.
TIIE GETTYSBURG BOOK
IT was the regret of all or those who
participated in the great fiftieth
anniversary celebration of the bat
tle of Gettysburg that some perma
nent record could not be kept of that
unique and really momentous event—
a means of preserving for all time
some of the sentiment, the spirit and
the enthusiasm of the occasion. It was
•11 so splendid, yet so ephemeral; so
real, yet so intangible. Trained news
papermen and journalists from all
the world came to write it up and in
stead gave it up. They were at a loss
where to begin or how to proceed. It
was too big for the biggest of them.
They had to content themselves with
relating the thousand and one inci
dents that marked the great gather-'
ing, with the hope that their readers]
might catch some of the atmosphere
of this peaceful battlefield. So the
celebration passed without any satis
factory chronicle.
And now comes the State of Penn
sylvania, through the instrumentality
of Colonel Lewis E. Beitler, the active
spirit of the occasion, with a
book that not only sets forth very ac
ceptably the formal facts of the anni
versary. but what is far more to the
point, a long series of photographic
snapshots taken on the field during
the encampment that give one a very
fair idea. Indeed, of the size and natore
of tha great camp, with its thousands
of "boys" in blue and gray, the count
less reunions, the wealth of incident,
the Jolly good comradeship between
old and young, North and South, the
gigantio preparations and the wonder
ful organization that made the event.
FRIDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf JANUARY 15, 1915.
tho success it was. The book, in its
way. is as fine In tone and purpose as
the anniversary observance itself and
the only pity Is that there Is not
money enough to provide a copy for
every man who participated. Certain
ly, it ought to be on tho shelf of every
public library. North and South. It
is a tribute to the new bond of
brotherhood between the men who
wore the blue and those who wore the
gray and their descendants.
THE ITAIJAN EARTHQCAKK
WE have been marveling that in
the five months of the war in
Europe so much of that conti
nent has been wrecked, so
many people killed and so many towns
destroyed. But man at his worst is
but a pigmy when nature starts her
destructive forces on the vast scale
that laid waste such a great portion
of Italy on Wednesday of this week.
What it has taken man and his most
destructive instruments months to ac
complish, nature did many times over
in the mere twinkling of an eye.
Little wonder that in contempla
tion of this gigantic disaster the ignor
ant peasantry of Italy see signs and
portents. The column of Marcus Are
lius in the Piazza Collona in Rome
was broken, and the figure of St. Paul
on its peak was shaken. St. Peter's
itself was badly damaged and the tall
figure of Jesus on the top of the
church of St. John Lateran toppled
over and was shattered. These are
warnings, we are told the Italians be
lieve, against the entrance of that na
tion into the war in Europe. If they
believe so firmly enough to keep them
out of it, all well and good, but to a
doubting Thomas there might appear
several other possibilities in the earth
quake as considered from the view
point of those who see In it portents
for their future guidance.
For Instance, we shall expect to hear
the Kaiser express the thought that
perhaps the disaster came as a punish
ment to Italy for not keeping faith In
the agreement of the Triple Alliance,
while France will no doubt hold that
it is entirely attributable to divine an
ger over the fact that Italy has not
joined with the allies.
All of which foolishness does not de
tract one particle from the seriousness
of the situation that confronts the
thousands made helpless and homeless
by the earthquake. It looks as though
there Is to be no end to American
charity and that Uncle Sam will have
to make another deep dip Into his
capacious and by no means empty
sock.
BRYAX, THE GRABBER
THE nation has Just learned that
the solicitude of William Jen
nings Bryan concerning jobs for j
"deserving Democrats" has ex
tended beyond the shores of the
United States to Santo Domingo—at
the expense of the people of Santo
Domingo.
Letters dug up by the investigators
of the Dominican scandal show clearly
the unprincipled methods in force in
the State Department at Washington.
One letter, read into the official record,
was written by Secretary Bryan to
| Walker W. Vlck, assistant secretary of
the Democratic committee, shortly af
ter Mr. Vick became American Re
ceiver of Dominican Customs. The
jobs which Receiver Vlck might have
had at his disposal happened not to
be within the reach of Secretary
i Bryan, since the receivership of Do
i minican Customs is administered by
, the Insular Bureau of the War De-j
' partment. But just the same, Mr.
! Bryan wanted all the available patron
! age. Finally, when Vlck explained
this circumstance to Mr. Bryan, the
! Secretary of State, independently of
;the receiver, found jobs for his "de
' serving Democrats."
Just how Mr. Bryan's "disinterested
friendships" work out in theory and
in practice is seen by the following let
ters. The first was written by Mr.
Bryan in a signed article to the Tam
. many Times:
; It may take some time to con
! vince all of the people of Latin-
America of this nation's disinter
ested friendship. They have some
times been made the victims of
commercial greed: they have some
times suffered from exploitation by
concessionaries without conscience,
and are. therefore, naturally sus
picious. but these suspicions can
be overcome.
Confidence will be established in
proportion as the Latin-Amertcan
republics are convinced, as thev
will be. that this country does not
j desire to secure any land by con
j quest, and does not ask for itself
j any privilege or favors that it is
! not willing to have extended to
others.
Here is the Secretary's letter to Mr.
Vick: .
Hon. Walker W. Vick.
Santo Domingo. D. R.
My IKear Mr. Vick: Xow that vou
have arrived and are acquainting
yourself with the situation, can vou
let mo know what positions you
have at your disposal with which
to reward deserving Democrats?
Whenever you desire a suggestion
from me in regard to a man for
any place there, call on me.
You have had enough experience
in politics to know how valuable
workers are when the campaign is
on and how difficult it is to find
suitable reward for all the dese.rv
ing. I do not know to what extent
a knowledge of the Spanish
language is necessary for em
ployes. I>et me know what is re
quisite. together with the salarv,
and when appointments are likely
to be made.
Sullivan will be down before
lons, and you and ho together ought
to be able to bring about such re
forms as may be necessary there.
Tou will find Sullivan a ' strong,
courageous, reliable fellow. The
more I have sen of him th<> bet
ter satisfied I am that he will fit
Into the place there and do what is
necessity to be done. Very truly
yours.
W. J. BRYAN.
Appointments: Appointments! Jobs:
Jobs! That is the administration's big
thought. The campaign of 1916 is ap
proaching. you know.
WHERE A CODE IS NEEDED
r" there is Any one topic in the sta
tute Law of Pennsylvania where
codification U needed for the guid
ance of the lawyer and the salvation
of the layman, it is borough law. For
over 100 years successive legislators
have gone on adding to the mass of
law relating to the minor municipali
ties and seldom subtracting. It takes
a lawyer of vast reading to thread his
way through the mazes of laws on
boroughs and as for the layman, the
small property owner, to find out the
provisions on government of borough*,
ho is at worse than a disadvantage.
When it is realized that there are
approximately 900 boroughs in the
Keystone State, ranging from big
towns like Norristown and Steelton to
our own lusty infant of Paxtang, tho
number of people vitally interested in
borough law is apparent. Incidentally,
many of these boroughs are In that
stage of development when simple sta
tutes are a requirement.
Hence, the announcement that the
hard working Legislative Reference
| Bureau has completed its revision of
the borough laws and has prepared a
code laid down on the simple lines of
the splendid school code of 1911, will
be received with pleasure all over the
Commonwealth. The problem of com
piling codes on corporations and taxa
tion was important and the result at
tracted attention bocause of thorough
ness and simplicity. The borough code
stands, however, as one concerning a
large number of residents of the
State, and its enactment will save
time, trouble and money for thou
sands.
i EVENING CHAT 1
There is a good bit of simple dig
nity about the invitations issued by the
Legislative Inaugural committee to the
ceremonies attending the iuduction of
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh into the
gubernatorial office and it is in keep
ing with the wishes of the plain Penn
sylvanlan who will take up the reins
of government on Tuesday. Instead
of the rather gorgeous invitations that
were the rule a few years back the
committee has selected a plain white
sheet, somew-hat larger than an ordi
nary sheet of note paper and In In
dented space has placed tho coat of
arms in gilt and then the invitation.
This year instead of a legislative com
mittee or the Legislature or the gov
ernment extending the Invitation the
Commonwealth uf Pennsylvania asks
the presence at the ceremonies. The
choice of words is no less striking.
The invitation reads "Tho Common
wealth of Pennsylvania requests tTie
honor of your presence at the inaug
uration ceremonies of Hon. Martin G.
Brumbaugh as governor of Pennsyl
vania in Harrisburg at noon on Tues
day, January nineteenth, nineteen
hundred and fifteen." In some years
gone by the invitations were heavy
with gold and in others they were
bright with color, while the wording
was in text considered in keeping
with the magnificence of the occasion.
The invitations to the Tener inaugur
ation were simpler than they had been
for some time, but the Brumbaugh in
augural committee has proceeded
along new lines.
The plans of Governor Tener to
leave the city after Dr. Brumbaugh
has delivered his address as governor
will take him away about the usual
time the retiring governors have left.
It has long been customary for the
governors retiring to leave the city
as.soon as possible so that their suc
cessors may have their day. Gover
nors Stone, Pennypacker and Stuart
left almost within an hour and a half
of the inauguration of their succes
sors, being escorted to the station by
personal friends.
The statement by the minister of
King Peter In London that the real
name of his country was Serbia Is In
line with what the people from that
land #aid when the Balkan war broke
out. At that time we were all call
ing the people Servians and speak
ing of their land as Servla. A resi
dent of Steelton who came from Bel
grade sent a letter to the newspapers
calling attention to the common er
ror and to the national dislike of the
word Servia with its similarity
serve. Somehow or other It wa; v
made much of, but the Steelton niiiii
was a couple of years ahead of his
home government.
The National Council of Industrial
Safety, which has a council here, has
added another to the slogans which it
has been sending along and which
Harrisburg people have received from
time to time. A year ago windows in
this city and Steelton bore the posters
with the words "Better Safe than
Sorry." Now the council has sent this
placard for Harrisburg:
Better Careful Than Crippled.
People who will be at Enola to-day
will recall what the place was like a
dozen years ago, when the first steam
shovels had commenced to dig into
the fields and the picnic place above
West Falrview was disturbed from its
slumbers and foiks from Harrisburg
had to go farther afield for their wild
loses. Work began on apparently a
smail scale where the great yards now
stand and it was not until fall that the
real organization was effected. As the
winter was open work went ahead and
visitors swarmed over the place front
this city on Saturdays and Sundays. It
happened that one sightseeing day
some officials came up from Philadel
phia to observe the work. They came
back to this city for rest and refresh
ment and when one man, now dead,
was asked what he thought about the
place he said: "It's the site of the
muddiest mud I ever saw and unless
it dries out they wiil have to put down
the tracks with safety pins."
Dr. T. E. Munce. deputy State vet
erinarian and well-known to many
residents of this city, because of his
active work for the State in the pres
ent outbreak, has been elected a direc
tor of the Real Kstate Trust company,
of Washington, Pa., his home town.
Some of the materials taken from
the Federal building in the rehabili
tation afford interesting ideas of at
tempted fireproofing used in the
eighties when the Post Office was con
structed. In those days a slow burn
ing building, one with thick walls and
with cement and ash«s between floors,
was thf chief form of "safe" construc
tion. When ttif Post < "ffice was built
they used hollow columns set in plan
ter and seine of the beams and joists
taken out were armored with somo of
a cross between sheet Iron and ex
panded metal.

WINDMILL WILL

ocratic Legislators Daring the
Coming Session
BOSSES HEAR FROM RANKS
Democratic Workers Decline to
Have Philadelphia For Their
Political Mecca
Dissatisfaction with the removal of
the Democratic headquarters to Phil
adelphia in order to accommodate
State Chairman Roland S. Morris has
been so great that tho bosses of the
machine have arranged to reopen the
Market Square windmill during the
legislative session. It is said that this
reopening of the rooms here will be
to enable members to have a place to
meet and to gather to talk over things.
Enough funds aro said to be in sight
to pay the rent until the session ends.
—As a matter of fact, headquarters
or rooms run by the machine would
be about the last place that some of
the Democratic members of the legis
lature would want to visit, as they
were elected by elements antagonistic
to the present bosses. It Is said that
one of the impelling causes was that
Morris and others were hearing from
men who reminded them that one of
the trump cards of the reorganizers
was the contention that if they won
the headquarters would be here in
Harrisburg and not in Philadelphia,
where wicked influences might be felt.
—The scheme is to have the head
quarters in charge of Resident Sec
retary Van Dyke until he Is named as
revenue collector and then to bring
some one of the staff here. Whether
the rooms will be open to the frag
ments of the Washington party re
mains to be seen.
—The lists of committees and place
holders for the two houses of the log
islature are not likely to be named
until Wednesday. The committees in
charge of patronage have been unable
to make ipiueh headway and it is like
ly that it will be Monday night before
work can be finished. A lot of pulling
and hauling is under way with more
applicants than ever known. Sena
tor Sulus is to be chairman of tho
Senate law and order committee and
Representative Williams of the House
committee. Three Vare men. Wilson.
McXichol and Cox, are to head the
House committees on judiciary gen
eral. special and manufactures, ac
cording to rumor. As Gans is slated
for health and sanitation, it looks as
though Philadelphia was faring well.
—Democratic legislators are said to
have been assured that they will be
given proportional representation on
all committees.
—Philadelphia dispatches say that
Representative A. C. Stein has been
asked to take charge of the workmen's
compensation act in the House.
—Congressman W. D. B. Ainey,
who has just returned from Japan,
predicts trouble between the United
States and the empire.
—"Dirt Road" Jones ie to be chair
man of the House roads committee In
the coming session. He has held the
place for several years.
—Reading people are apparently as
much opposed to the commission form
of government as they were in favor
of it two years ago. Erie is not alto
gether pleased with it either. At the
time of the hearings Harrisburg offi
cials opposed the change, but have
apparently done better than any one
else.
—Montgomery county manufactur-
I prs say they welcome the probe into
their industries and decline to be
Muffed by the Democratic scheme to
inflict punishment because of criti
cism of the president.

Will kiss and clasp her neck in vain.
Love thy mother, little one!
Gaze upon her living eyes.
And mirror back her love for thee —
Hereafter thou may'st shudder sighs
To meet them when they <-annot see.
Gaze upon her living eyes!
Press her lips the while they glow
With love that they have often told'—
Hereafter thou may'st pr»>ss In woe.

Press her lips the while they glow!
Oh. revere her raven hair!

Keep Your Lungs Strong
This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minntea
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until it is too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, confining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, aonshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
txreat their progress, and the concen
trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
i it builds up the forces.

"TOMMY"
By Hudyard Kipling
I went into a public.'ouse to get a pint
o' beer.
The publican 'e up an' sez, "we serve
no redcoats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed
an' giggled fit to die.
I outs into the. street again, an' to my
self sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an'
"Tommy, go away;"
But it's "Thank you. Mister Atkins,"
when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the
band begins to play.
0 it's "Thank you. Mister Atkins,"
when the band begins to play.
1 went into a theater as sober as could
be.
They gave a drunk civilian room, but
'adn't none for me:
They sent me to the gallery or round
the music-'alls.
But when It comes to fightin', Lord!
they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that,
an' •"Tommy, wait outside;"
But it's "Special, train for Atkins"
when the trooper's on the tide.
The troopship's on the tide, my boys,
the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when
the trooper's on the tide.
Yes. makin' mock o' uniforms that
guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an'
they're starvation cheap;
An' hustln' drunken soldiers when
they're goin' large a bit
Is five times better business than pa
radin' in full kit.
Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that,
an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?"
But it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when
the drums begin to roll.
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the
drums begin to roll.
O it's "Thin red line of 'eroes" when
the drums begin to roll.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we
aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most re
markable like you:
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all
your fancy paints:
Why, single men in barricks don't grow
into plaster saints:
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that
an' "Tommy, fall be'ind:"
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir,'
when there's trouble in the wind.
There's trouble In the wind, my boys,
there's trouble in the wind,
O It's "Please to walk In front, sir,"
when there's trouble in the wind.
You talk o' better food for us, an'
schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you j
treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, |
but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the sol
dier-man's disgrace.
For It's Tommy this, an' Tommy that,
an' "Chuck him out. the brute!"
But It's "Salour of 'ls country" when

an' anything you please:
But Tommy ain't a bloomln' fool—you

ALMOST BEYOND ENDURANCE
(James Whitcomb Riley)
I ain't a-going to cry no more, no
more!
I'm got earache, an' Ma can't make
It quit a-tall;
An' Carlo bite my rubber ball
An' puncture it; an' Sis she take
An' poke my knife down through the
stable-floor
An' loosed it—blame it all!
But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no
more!
Ooo! I'm so wicked!—an' my breath's
so hot —
Ist like I run an' don't res' none
But ist run on when I ought to not;
Yes, an' my chin
An' lips's all warpy, an' teeth's so fast.
An' 's a place in my throat I can't
■waller past—
An' they all hurt so!—
An' oh, my—oh!
I'm a-startin' ag'in, but I won't, fer
shore!
I Ist ain't goin' to cry no more, no
more!
