EVENING, FEB. 11 DAY FOB SELF-SACRIFICE TO-MORROW, Lincoln's birthday, has been set aside as Self-sacri fice Day by the executive com mittee of the Home Relief Bu reau Emergency Aid Committee of Philadelphia. On that day every per son able to do so will be expected to give generously for the relief of the destitute of the Quaker City. Conditions are not so greatly differ ent here but that Lincoln's birthday might be celebrated in a similar man ner in Harrisburg. It would be an ex cellent and highly appropriate means of testifying to our love and apprecia tion of the great War President who laid down his life for his country. The need of charity here at this time is greater than it has been in recent years. We have given hundreds of dollars to sustain the starving people of Belgium and for the relief of war victims of other countries. This in some measure has resulted in smaller contributions than usual for our local charities at a time when they need every penny that can be raised. Would it not be a fine thing if the deficits thus created in treasuries that should be full to overflowing were to be made up on this anniversary of the birth of a man whose whole life was given for the benefit and uplift of his fellowmen? There is no time for the issue of a special call for such contributions, but every citizen has it within his power to make to-morrow a Self-sacrifice Day for himself and to see to it that some of the pennies that ordinarily go into the channels of self-indulgence are given for the benefit of the poor, the sick, the .aged or the needy orphans of the city. GERMANY AND BELGIUM IT is difficult to understand the atti tude of Germany toward Belgium. The Kaiser's army comes Into the country, knocks the towns to pieces, ruins the farms, opens the dikes and in general spreads such devastation that a country which only six months ago was a model of indefensive culti vation and industrial activity is now largely one vast waste place, unable to maintain its starving population. Added to this Germany lias laid a tax of S9ti,OUO,OUO a year on the Belgian nation. She has driven a million Bel gians from the country, and now. with those who had tlio courage to remain and face the doubtful benefits of Ger man "Kultur" living on the charity of the American people, the German gov ernment gives notice that unless those who have fled return by March 1 the governor-general of Belgium will levy on them an extraordinary tax equal to ten times the amount of personal tax paid by Belgian citizens in normal times. A long distance view of the situation would give one the impression that Germany is preparing lor one of the most disastrous retreats ia history when the Allies begin the offensive movement that unquestionably will drive the German forces at least as far as the Rhine. It Is to be no more than expected that when this occurs the Flemings and the Walloons, who are not much different now from the warriors that Caesar met when with his Roman legions he Invaded that country, will take their guns from their hiding places for a period of bushwhacking warfare such as lias not been seen since the British regulars began their historic retreat before the farmers of Massachusetts following the Battle of Concord. IIE NEEDS A REST WHEN a man remains at work too long at a stretch, ho loses his efficiency, lie sees things at distorted angles. His vi sion becomes warped. He lacks the proper perspective. This is true with out exception. The only remedy is a long distance view of the job. Things that looked big close at hand are apt \ to lose in relative size as they are merged into the general scheme. Big men as well as little men suffer from this form of mental eyestrain. Indeed, none is so big as to escape It, and fre quently the bigger the man the more violent the affliction. That is what ails the President. What he needs is a long rest. It would be a fine thing for him—and the country—lf he decided to take a squint •jit Washington from the Panama canal zone and another from the Panama-Pacific exposition. He might try his binoculars on the Capitol THURSDAY EVENING, from one or both these points to sec how it looks with Congress adjourned and the members gone home. What a splendid thing It would be if Secretary Bryan would be willing to work a little more and the President a little less. Bryan's trouble is exactly the converse of the President's ail ment. The oratorical Secretary stays so far away from his job that he loses sight of it entirely. DESPICABLE TACTICS THE most regrettable Incident in the history of city council as at present constituted was en acted yesterday when the hopes and pay envelopes of the unemployed of Harrlsburg were juggled to make a holiday for our spotlight-seeking mayor. It is beyond question the duty of those in charge of municipal affairs to see that every man possible is given work at a time when industrial con ditions have forced thousands into compulsory idleness. No fault can be found with such a proposal as that which Mayor Royal made. But the mayor ought to have come forward with some definite plan of action. He ought to have considered that phase of the matter before he broached it to council. It is all very well to tell his colleagues that they ought to em ploy more men, but at the same time he ought to be willing to show them where they are to get the money or to shoulder responsibility for the in creased cost that will be necessary if contracts for public work are let un der "force orders." The resolution passed by council yesterday, while rather drastic in its language, was both fair and justifiable under the circumstances. The mayor must be willing and able to devise a plan for the employment of the Idle or he must stand convicted of know ing that such a plan is not feasible so long as hard winter weather pre vails and be ready to admit that he is merely up to one of those numerous political tricks by which he has been endeavoring for more than a year to bring credit to himself aijd at the same time put his colleagues into an unfavorable position before the public. If Mayor Royal comes forward with a practical plan for the relief he pro poses he is worthy of all praise and councilmen will be glad no doubt to put it into immediate operation. They have seen the need of public employ ment for months and have kept more men on duty this winter in the several departments and kept more work go ing during cold weather than ever be fore. It would be merely a continu ance of this policy to accept any feasi ble recommendation along this line that his honor may make. But unless he does come forward with a definite plan whereby men may be put to work in the city's em ploy, the mayor stands convicted of the most despicable political jugglery in the history of Harrisburg. OTHER STATES OBSERVING INQUIRIES made at the Capitol by legislators and officials of other States about the manner of operat ing the State Legislative Reference Bureau, the Banking Department, the Department of Labor and Industry, the State Police Force, the Depart ment of Health and other branches of the government indicate that Pennsyl vania is attracting much attention by the excellence of its service and men who have made inquiry for this Slate in regard to workmen's compensation have found the officials of other Com monwealths very ready to furnish in formation. The questions about the organiza tion, financing and other details of the State police arc especially signi ficant. It is just ten years since the legislature authorized the creation of the force and inquiries made by New York, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia and Ohio, all of which ad join Pennsylvania, are indicative of how the police arc regarded. The in terest of officials in Indiana, Michi gan and Massachusetts is commentary enough. CARNEGIE AM) SUNDAY ANDREW CARNEGIE, who got into the habit of preaching rather sensational little sermons long before our impetuous friend, "Billy" Sunday, loomed large on the horizon, in a recent address gave his hearers this remarkable bit of advice: "Don't be alarmed about your sins." What a fine text this will provide for the afore-mentioned "Billy" and what a splendid opportunity it will afford him to use a figurative bludgeon on the bald pate of the Thane of Skibo. However, we believe that Mr. Car negie's admonition was entirely un necessary. We believe, with the New York Sun, which makes some com ment upon the Carnegie effusion, that few peoplo worry much about their own sins. What troubles them are the sins of other people. TAFT ONLY REAL STATESMAN IT is a curious fact that ex-President Taft, recently the most discredited man in the country, is displaying the only statesmanship worthy of the name in this benighted era. Above the fog of theory and plain bullhcaded obstinacy at Washington, the light of his statecraft shines clear and bright. At every turn since the outbreak of the war his judgment has been good. While the administration has been heading straight for international complications, Taft would steer for the quiet waters of true neutrality. While the President pleads with the peoplo to be "neutral" he takes no steps to halt the export of millions of dollars worth of the munitions of war to the contesting nations. The man who knowingly provides a gun for the purpose of murder is guilty under the law with the man who uses it. That illustrates the posi tion of the United States with relation to the present war. We profess to be neutral, yet we provide both sides with weapons with wWch to kill each other. Ex-President Taft would compel per fect neutrality by making it illegal to export munitions to the countries at war. All other considerations aside, :the United Slates ought to be above 'taking blood-money. i EVENING CHAT I! Members of the Legislature from i third-class cities are following with considerable amusement the develop-' ments in Harrisburg's city council be- I cause the same thing Is going on in j most of the cities of the same grade in | the State. The incidents of the. last few days have been much commented upon at the Capitol and comparisons drawn with doings in the other cities. Most of the legislators from cities are watching the way Harrlsburg works under the commission government | with much interest because of the gen- i eraily admitted fact that Harrlsburg I was more successful than any other | city under the old acts. In fact, the' experience of this city will be drawn upon in committee hearings on pro posed changes in the third class city code. Some of the legislators tell in teresting stories about the contests lor council seats In their homes and all agree that the salary feature is a pow erful incentive in getting men to run, although in nine out of ten cases it is freely admitted that the men of busi ness experience that it was hoped to attract did'not land in office. Others tell of squabbles in the council over trivial matters and some say that councilman wish for larger bodies be cause they would have more men with whom to talk over their problems. The plan for a council based on ward rep resentation is expected to make its ap pearance. Henry F. Walton former speaker, is as interesting as of yore. He has al ways been a live visitor to Harrlsburg, but yesterday he went some distance When he told the members of the State Board of Charities that there was enough clay on the property of the Farview State institution to make all the bricks it would need for extensions and to supply some other institutions and enough coal also on State prop erty to burn the bricks. Augustus H. Kreldler, senior mem ber of the grocery firm losers by fire on Monday night, is a great admirer of pets. He has had at the store for sometime a large maltese cat known as "Kitty." After a business place has been badly damaged by fire, one Would suppose that the first thing a proprie tor does is to ascertain his losses. Not "Gus" Kreidler, however. After the firemen had finished their duties the other night, the first thing "Gus". did was to search for "Kitty." The cat had been in the store when the latter was closed for the day at 6 o'clock, and it was feared the store pet had been burned, or suffocateo by smoke. After a half hour's search the cat was found. "Kitty" had escaped from the blaze in a half suffocated condition and was picked up by a neighbor who took care of the cat until the fire was over. "1 certainly would hate to lose that cat," said Mr. Kreidler last night. "She is the best rat exterminator in the place." To-morrow will be a great day In the schools of the city. Lincoln's birth day has come to be as widely cele brated as that of Washington, except that exercises of a patriotic nature are held instead of observing a general holiday. Especially is the occasion en joyed by the little folks of foreign birth who throng the schools in some quarters of Harrisburg. Strange as it may seem they are far more eager to learn of American history and histori cal personages and incidents than is the native-born youth. Possibly this appears to be true because the native lad and lassie have these things preached into them from their baby hood, but at all events the little for eigner is keener to hear and learn. The teachers respond to this desire and do all in their power to make the exercises attractive. Pictures of Lin coln are displayed on walls and black boards,. Lincoln songs are sung and Lincoln stories told and read. Many a tiny tot from a humble home gets a new idea of the possibilities of his own future when teacher tells him the story of the great Lincoln's early struggles and pictures for him the tumble down backwoods cabin that this man of destiny in his childhood called home. Among the visitors to the city yes terday were Dr. James B. Ely, the moving spirit in the famous tieinon Hill meetings in Philadelphia. Dr. Ely called upon Governor Brumbaugh whom he has known for many years in Philadelphia matters. It was the first visit the doctor had paid lo llarris burg for a long time and he much ad mired the Capitol. Just as an Instance of how the fann ers are using automobiles It may be stated that there were a dozen mar ket wagon automobiles about one of the city markets yesterday. A few years ago one, would have been a novelty and attracted much attention. Professor AV. S. Steele, principal of the Central High school who had been ill at his home, 1028 State street, for several months, has returned to re sume his duties again at the institu tion. Although he will not take full charge for some time yet, his advice is found helpful and all members of the faculty were glad to see him at his old post. The students, too, who have i missed his presence are glad to know* that he will be on hand for the remainder of this term. Now that first term examinations are completed, the seniors are beginning to bring up their affairs preparatory to commencement exercises in June, and each week com mittees axe meeting and making plans for the oncT)ig event in the life of a high school student. Much credit Is due to Miss Anna M. Saul, secretary at the school, who took Professor Steel's place during his absence, and managed the school so well in addi tion to her regular duties.

Don't Be Fooled With Substitutes When you Uk for an arti cle you saw advertised in this newspaper. Insist on getting what you ask for. If the dealer offers something "just as good" you have a right to view him with suspicion. The advertised article has be hind It a definite name. it is backed by a reputable maker. Its pedigree is assured. The substitute has only the dealer's word to recommend It and selling it means more profit to him. Offering things "Just as good" Is a practice not tolerated by reputable dealers. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH i THE THREE BOOKS \ A Lincoln Birthday Story t(\Y/E'RE the greatest in Bookland!" one day sang three worn old j books huddled In a corner of Librarytown. "The very great- j est! The very greatest!" i All the other books turned up their noses. Why some of the new j books were popular sellers; some were of foreign lineage; some of the 3 old books duted back to tile Revolution; some were great detectives; j some beautiful little child stories; some so full of pathos, poetry and song that they could even make men weep—yet the three worn books per- ] sisted in saying; "We're the greatest in Librarytown." Of course, all j the book folk knew who theye were. Every one in Librarytown knew j that", and even the Encyclopedias, although rather offish folk, bowed to j them. •We're all willing to grant that BIBLE is among the very greatest," said all the books, "but why we must grant the same to that Aesop's :j Fables and Pilgrims Progress, we can't see. It does seem strange, but 1 they are quiet and peaceable enough all the year round, until February j comes; then they band together and will not be separated, always cry- j lng; 'We're the three, greatest hooka!' If only we could understand J it all!" ! j After all it was History who made all the books of Librarytown j understand early one February morning, when he began to recite in a j monotonous voice: "Such a poor little cabin as that was on the banks j of a small stream In Kentucky, where Thomas and Nancy Lincoln 3 lived! • « » One Hunday morning in February a baby boy came to live with them. Ills name was Abraham. » • • HIB father could neither read nor write. * • * His mother was a fine woman and, although busy, taught little Abraham and his sister to read and write. * * 0 In all his life Abraham had only one year's schooling, for he worked very, very hard, and had to walk eight miles to school with nothing to eat but corn bread. • .* * He was very fond of reading * • '(Here the three friends crept very close to one another, murmuring all the while; 'We're the three greatest books!') Ire nad only three books; The Bible, Aesop's Fables, and Pilgrims Progiess. He Knew these almost by heart." "He knew us by heart!" almost sobbed the three great books. "And he became the most loved President of the land in which we live!" Calendar on the wall pointed it's long linger to February 12th! History droned on sleepily. The three books huddled down to sleep murmuring; "We're the three greatest books!" and all the other books of Librarytown took oft their cover lids to them, it was the Birthday of a Great President of a Great Land, r Lovingly, AUNT ESTE. COMMITTEEMEN ON FIRST TOURS House Appropriations Committee Starts For the Three Sanatoria Today GOVERNOR IS IN EARNEST Tells Members of the Legislature That He Would Like to Have Some Action -—-Members of the House appropri ations committee divided into three parties to-day and went to the three State tuberculosis sanitoria, parties go ing to Mont Alto, Cresson and Ham burg where the work of the State De partment of Health was explained to them. The parties will return to night. Next week more inspections will be made to the various institu tions under direct State control. —lt is believed about the Capitol that these inspections will be curtailed because of the recess and that no in spections will be made after the mid dle of March except to State College. Next session they may be still further reduced. —Thus far 201 bills or just half of those presented in the House have been appropriation bills. —Members of the House are com mencing to realize that Governor Brumbaugh is in earnest about the local option bill. A number of them have been among his callers the last few days and have had his ideas ex plained to them. The Governor is said to have asked some members to call on him and local option is known to have been discussed. —The repealer for the anthracite coal tax is to be taken up next week, it is believed at the Capitol that if the courts knock out the present act that another similar to that originally drawn by the State Taxation commis sion will appear. The administration would like to see the revenue contem plated by the act in hand before the session ends. —A bill to appropriate $25,000 for a monument at the .site of McAlvey's fort in memory of General McAlvey will be presented next week. This is one of the historic spots of the Juniata valley. —(Setting in to see the Governor is one of the most popular indoor sports at the Capitol just now. The Governor is overrun with callers and misses his meals regularly. So do many of his callers. —Humors were current on the "Hill" last night that the Democratic ringmasters committee of 1913 was contemplating having a meeting with its few henchmen with a view to draft ing some legislation that would fur nish campaign thunder. —Charles F. Gibbons has been elected city treasurer of Pittston to succeed John Ivehoe, Democratic boss of the town, who resigned to accept the postmastership. Gibbons was not Kehoe'a choice, but he got there just the same. The new treasurer is one of Luzerne county's best known young men. 9* fe in Governor Brumbaugh last nignt agreed to attend the dinner of the Legislative Sons of St. Patrick on March 10. The following night he will attend a similar dinner in Phila delphia. Ex-Senator Walter McNiehols, of Scranton, was among visitprs here yes terday. Governor not had much opportunity to to such matters as selection of a staff. It Is understood that he will have the same number as former governors. Senator Vare and others interested in the transit matter are in Phila delphia to-day holding hearings on bllls - ~ „ ... —The State College appropriation bills are. expected to come in next week. They are being drafted by tlio trustees. {"— ftti V6U KN6W — L -1 That Hairisburg steel is used ' in boilers in some of the big At lantic liners?

' 'Round About Pennsylvania 'Round about Pennsylvania the queerest things are happening all the time. F'r instance: Down in Waynesboro, tlie other day, a prominent preacher heard a strange oy.z. b/.z! right over his head while he was out taking a bit of sunshine, and he d have sworn—if he'd been that kind ot a preacher—that the Germans were coming. And when he looked up there tney were sure enough, swarming by the dozens. Only they weren't aero planes or Zeppelins. They were mo squitoes. * « * Another queer thing is a story from heading'. The religious folk down that way have been trying so hard to tind ?■ , £ or tlle Stough tabernacle nnd their efforts have been ao futile that ?i n , e ,°, t,le bis brewing companies is thinking; of offering a big plot back of its plant lest the big campaign fall through. * * » Speaking of Reading, that town is notoriously fond of the liquid in which lions has a prominent place, but there are some things the Herks county judges just will not stand. When an appl cant for a liquor transfer appear ed before Judge Endlich and Judge Wagner, the other morning, wearing a brilliant red sweater and minus a coat of apy kind, the Bench curtly informed luni that he was in a courtroom and not in a barroom. "Mas he no coat to wear?" asked the Court of the attorney who represented the applicant. There was an affirma tive reply. Then Judge Hudlich chirp ed: "Well, tejl him .he's in a courtroom and not a barroom." The booze merchant withdrew to the seat he had been occupying and reap peared shortly afterwards with his per-, son and his lack of respect for the bono. - and dignity of the Bench en veloped in a big plaid balmacaan. Now that isn't adding insult to injury and if that isn't contempt of court, pray what is it? * * * Out in Pittsburgh the Gazette-Times come out Monday in a new dress. Whatayuhmean new dress? Just this, the page form has been changed from seven to eight columns, tlie news type is seven Instead of six point and the spacing between the lines has been In creased. Strange. Isn't It. that a big city newspaper would wait for years to do the needed thing when dozens of smaller papers made these needed Im provements long since?

The truin, more than a half-mile in length, was unable to get in the clear, owing to the shortage of the side track. The rear brakeman raced back down the track to Hag the north bound passen ger. The head brakeman rushed ahead to flag the south bound one There was no time for crossing cut ting. People's lives depended upon hasty action on the part of the inade quate train crew.
