THURSDAY. 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.

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.

That He Would Like to Have

-—-Members of the House appropri

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

'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.

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?

I two passenger trains, one from the
