THK GETTYBBVRG BOOK THERE is a bill In the Legislature providing an appropriation for publication of twenty-live thou sand additional copies of the book presenting a history of the fif tieth anniversary celebration of the battle of Gettysburg. This reunion was a momentous occa sion in the history of the Common wealth, the like of which was never seen in the world before and probably never will be duplicated. The book sets forth handsomely In text and photographs the spirit and the hap penings of that great week and it is not too much to ask the Legislature to set aside money for the publication of the book in quantities sufficient to place a copy in every schoolliouse and t very Grand Army Post in the State and to put it on the shelves of every public library and in every Confeder ate Veterans' post In all the land. It illustrates, as could be done in no other way, the manner in which the wounds of fifty years ago have been healed and teaches a lesson of peace and good will that all who note it will he the better for learning. The commission has on hand a bal ance more than sufficiently large to meet the cost of the additional publi ratlon, so that the necessary money Mill not come out of the depleted revenues of the present year. TIIK ELEVENTH IIOI'K RUSH CONGRESS, figuratively speaking, has reached the eleventh hour of Its session. Perhaps one might be justified in saying the twenty-third hour, if length of con tinuous debate and enactment are to be considered. At least a billion dol lars remain to be appropriated. In the brief time between now and March 4 bills carrying vast sums must be ap proved for the running of the national government during the next two years. The end of the session rush is on and the "pork barrel" opportunists are the busiest little persons in Washington. Beyond question of doubt millions •if dollars will be misappropriated in the final hours of the session. It is too late now to do anything but swing the big bills through, eliminating whatever of slush may be detected in the cursory examination that the brief moment of consideration will permit. Such a condition is more than to be regretted at any time, but doubly so just now when the National Treasury is in need of every dollar that can 6e saved to it. It the President had not so persistently pressed for the passage of his impossible shipping bill, Con gress might have spent weeks very profitably to the country at large in proper consideration of these vastly important appropriation bills. Regrets will not help now and Congress Itself cannot be held responsible. The biaine should rest where it belongs— on the White House. WHOLESAIiE SELF-ESTEEM GEORGE S. POMEROY, of the firm of Dives- Pomeroy & Stew art, gave a lecture the other day to a section of the employes of the Reading store on the subject, ' Get Stuck on Yourself." Mr. Poineroy said that the difference between self-conlidence and conceit is that the former Is a well established faith in one's own personal abilities to do things properly and that conceit is false confidence based on a fallacious estimate of one's true worth. Nobody ever succeeded in the world without a wholesome respect for his own ability to do things. Mr. Ponw roy has expressed in that one sentence more truth than might be conveyed iti ». library of orations. A properly con trolled self-esteem, combined with na tural or cultivated good nature, will take a man of even limited abilities very far In the world, provided he ••ombines these qualities with persist ence. On the other hand, there is the cock-sure, conceited, little fellow who permits himself to Imagine, without good ground for the judgment, that ho can do anything that anybody else can do, and none is so prone to err and to fail of accomplishment as he. Nobody will believe in you if you do not believe in yourself, but It Is also true that nobody will take you seri ously If you persist in placing an un warranted valuation upon your own abilities, for your associates are often much more difficult to deceive in such matters than you are yourself. Every young inan might well take Mr. Pomeroy'a advice and "Get Stuclt MONDAY EVENING, \ on Himself," but only to such degree as will engender within himself the ambition to impress upon others that he is really as worth while as he pre tends lie Is. ELECTROCUTION THERE appeared In the newspa pers the other day, the Tele grapn included, a very well- written and lengthy account of the first execution In the State's new electrocution building in Center coun ty. Possibly there was excuse for the detailed description of the official kill ing of this murderer because of the fact that it was the first electrocution In the history of the State in the cen trally located deuthhouse that has been substituted by law for tho jail yard hanging-bees that periodically for more than a century have disgraced' our county seats. The public was no "doubt entitled to an Intimate knowledge of just how this new system is operated, but there can be no excuse for a continuation of such lengthy descriptions of death cell scenes. No good can come from them. Only the tastes of the morbidly curi ous are satisfied by them. Normal minded people do not care for such rhetorical horrors. Henceforth it is to bo hoped that the news associations ! will content themselves wifh brief an ■ nouncements of executions covering | bare facts. The day is long since passed when the newspaper deems it Important to tell how the condemned man spent his last night, what consti tuted his final meal and whether he went bravely or coweringly to his doom. 11KKAD PRICKS THE utter heartlessncss of the grain speculators who have been reaping millions of profits at tho expense of the bakers and consumers of the country, is illustrat ed by this expression from the lips of C. H. Candy, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, the home of the grain shark: The poor will not stop eating bread because It is raised a cent in tho price of loaf, but will simply eat less of it; and in a country like the United States, where millions are spent for chewing-gum and five-rent cigars, no disturbance should be caused by a penny rise in foodstuffs. Reduced to its last analysis, Mr. Canby's argument is simply this—that Americans must not complain if they are called upon to hand over their luxuries to a few fat and pompous gentlemen of the Chicago Hoard of Trade. "Eat less in order that we speculators may eat more," says he. Stop chewing gum that wo may chew it; stop smoking that we may have your cigars. And yet we wonder some times at the spread of socialism in the land. THE SOI L THAT SMILES A WRITER in a recent issue of Colliers Weekly dwells at length on the gayety of France In time of stress, and shows that it is the gayety of a soul that bravely smiles even when beset by perils that threaten 'all it holds most dear—a healthy soul, which shimmers and rebounds. He might find a striking example in Sara Bernhardt. The famous actress is seventy years old. Because one of her legs kept her from the Joyful pur suit of happiness in her lifework on the stage she calmly requested the surgeons to remove It. And now that the troublesome limb has been ampu tated does she bemoan her fate and fear for the future? Xot she! She smiles at those who extend pity and spends her enforced idleness in pleas antly planning for her next appear ance in the theater. If the French soldier's smile is of the quality of Bernhardt's we can un derstand why Napoleon accomplished what he did, why France has recover ed almost over night from blows that would have crushed a nation with less spirit and why the Germans were driven back from the very gates of Paris. The Japanese are said to mask their souls with an eternal smile, but the soul of the Frenchman Itself smiles, and therein lies a world of dif ference. OLEOMARGARINE THE usual bills regulating the sale of oleomargarine have turned it)) in the Legislature this ses sion. There are those who would so surround with difficulties the manufacture and sale of butter sub stitutes as to make their production unprofitable and drive them from the market. Needless to say, all such have their own axes to grind and their object is purely selfish. Time was when oleomargarine was rightfully looked upon with suspicion by the public and the dairyman. Con stituents of obscure origin and of doubtful food value entered into its manufacture and It was sold in most instances under deceptive titles. But that time has long since passed. The oleomargarine of to-day Is pure in quality and of a high nutritive stand ard. It is made under federal inspec tion conformity to State and national pure food laws. It is sold for what it is and not for butter, and If it were not for the large quantities of oleomargarine on the market to-day prices would have risen long since to a figure that would have barred butter from the tables of any but the very wealthy. It will, therefore, not do to attempt to put any barrier in the way of the sale of this important food product, no matter how much legislators may desire to protect the dairy Interests and to assess taxes upon the packers. Every additional penny that Is placed upon the manufacturer of oleomar garine will be added in the end to the living expenses of the poor man who finds in oleo a substitute for the but ter that he would prefer to have, but which in many instances he cannot afford. The dairy interests are well guarded under present laws and there would seem to .be little necessity for change. AX EVENING THOUGHT Life Is not days and years: Life is lovo and labor.—P. 11. Newnhaut. i EVENING CHATI The proposed start on the big new plant of the lliekok Manufacturing Company only furnishes another illus tration t*f the truth of tne remark iriado some years ago in this column that the extension of Capitol Park would not damage the city as much as some of its citizens feared and that the State would not only be getting bargains in real estate, but that the municipality would get something for its donation of land in hignwuys and loss of taxable property . The erec tion of the tine warehouses by the Paxton Flour and Feed Company is another. There are more. All one has to do Is to sit down and make u list of the properties sold and then watch where the money received for them went, it went right back into Improvements. Even the building ma terials In the houses which the State sold at auction wt?nt back into con struction. It is an interesting study of economics to trace the way the money paid for the properties in the Capitol Park extension, moneys to which Dauphin county contributed its fair share, went back into builuing which will enhance the value of tho land the State Is buying. Some of the buildings to be erected will face on trie park extended. Tho lliekok works was tho most important manufacturing property in tho extension 2011 c and tho purchase recently gave ine State title to the biggest corner of the tract. Tho money received for it will be used to develop a model plant within sight of the Capitol and not in any way in terfering with late ideas in city plan ning and building. The Paxton com pany not only used the money it re ceived for building a larger and bet ter establishment, but added consid erably to it. The same Is true of other owners of properties in the district. No doubt it will be the sume with others. The organization of the jitney bus line for the city, in which a great deal of popular interest is being taken be cause of the novelty and chances for reaching developing sections of the city not now accessible by trolley, has a good many angles. One of these directly affects the treasury of the city itself. As a matter of fact, the city is a partner of the Ilarrisburg Railways Company. Under the terms of a much discussed ordinance the municipality of Ilarrisburg receives 3 per cent, on the gross revenue of the comnuny op erating the trolley system. This is a pretty stilt allowance, even for Ameri can cities, and the city has prollted by It. as has frequently been noted in the public prints. Therefore, every dollar of loss of revenue that comes to the traction company by the organ ization of the jitney buss line means a loss of three cents to the city of ilar risburg. One of tho oddest and saddest coin cidences in the life of State Librarian Thomas Lynch Montgomery occurred on Saturday morning. He was just opening a letter from one of his closest friends. ex-Attorney General W. D. Hensei. when he received a telegram telling of Mr. Hensel's sudden death. Mr. ilensel had sent the letter from the South a few days before he died. There Is a use for that walk that runs around the jail wall on the inside of the grass plats on the Walnut street front after all. A good many people have wondered If the walk was'con structed for a short cut and some can didly asked why it was built at all. On Saturday a couple of learners tried out their roller skates on the walk with perfect safety. They were in no danger of falling, on one side the grass plot stopped them and the wall was there to lean upon. Farmers in the city's suburbs are taking advantage of the mild weather to spread lime in great clouds. Many of them neglected or were unable to do this work last fall, but they are making up for lost time regardless of the March winds that whirl the dust about in all directions. Some farmers say that they would rather spread lime 011 a windy day than any other because If they get on the right side they can reach a large surface. The fertilizing going on is rather extensive just now and leads to the thought that Dauphin and Cumberland farmers In tend to do considerable raising of foodstuffs this year. Winter wheat is commencing to show the effects of the prolonged mild spell last month and l'rom the Capitol one can sec a score or more of good sized fields shining with the bright green of the grain. In fact, the view of four counties to be had from any one of the upper floors of the Capitol shows that a pretty good acreage has been set out in wheat this season and that if all goes well there will be a big crop. Most of the 1914 wheat around here has lieen sold, but there are some farmers who have held back quite a considerable amount. In the whole state probably 17 or 18 per cent, remains unsold. General T. C. duPont. who lias re linquished the presidency of the big powder manufacturing company, was at one time interested in projects for purchasing the trolley lines in this vicinity. He later became interested in the Johnstown system. I WELL KNOWN PEOPLE I —Ex-Mayor AV. A. Magee, of Pitts burgh. is on a trip to California. —Judge E. 11.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH BOSSES FALL DOl 111 HARMONY GAME Also Find That Weitern Pennsyl vania Democrats Are Averse to Paying Debts POST OFFICES TO BLAME . Republican Senatorial Leaders Will Remain in Florida For Another Week or So | Efforts of State Chairman Roland S. 'Morris and Yarico C. McCormick to harmonize warring elements anions the Democrats In Western Pennsylva nia iat>t week appear to have failed as signally as their effort to beat out Secretary Bryan in selection of the collector at Pittsburgh. The method of distributing post offices in Western Pennsylvania has split the gang in twain. Men who were never dreamed of as worth while have been put for ward by the bosses and have aroused antagonisms that threaten to disturb the machine organization for months to come. Charges have been preferred against men slated to be named and disappointed office seekers are making things hot. —Morris and McCormick called on the federal officials in Pittsburgh last week, found out the troubles that they had caused and have been trying to straighten them out. They also dis covered that since Secretary Bryan declined to accept their man Deeds for collector at Pittsburgh and put in his friend Acklin that some of the Democrats no longer regard them as all powerful and are disposed to dis turb. —lt is also said that Morris found little support for his scheme to raise money to pay the debt of the Stute committee. Most of the Democrats in the western end of the State thought that if there were any debts the men who tinanccd the committee could take care of them and if they did not some of the men who stood to win in the light should pay up and not ex pect the rest of the party to go into pockets. —Charges are understood to have been tiled against A. J. Palm, the man picked for postmaster at MeadvlUc, whom it is thought would go through. Congressman-elect Biebel is also un derstood to have declared that Palm fought the Democratic candidate for Congress. —Palmer has picked out Charles B. Hemingway, a political friend, for the $3,400 post office in Easton. This will mean still more Democratic warfare in that district. —These Pennsylvania postmasters have been slated: Ulysses G. Bowers, Big Hun: Nicholas K Barrett, Car negie: Charles i\. Stevens, Knoxville; M. J. Starvey, Mars: Jesse B. Conner, Overbrook; W. F. Harrer, Montours vllle; Clyde G. McMurray, Oakdale; Nora B. Pickering, Peekville: Alexan der B. Groff, Somerset: Josiah Cole, Slatington: Frederick "A. Shaw, Tidi oute: Christian Henderson, Woodlawn; J. M. Keesey, Foxburg. and John W. Clouse, Moscow. A committee representing 230 mem bers of the Luzerne county bar, car ried a petition to President Judge Charles E. Kice, of the Superior Court urging him not to decline a re-elec tion. The petition was signed by the 230 lawyers, Republicans and Demo crats alike, and in part, read as fol lows: "Thirty-six years' continuous service on the bench is rare experience and during such service we beg to as sure you that you have won, not only the esteem and the respect, but the affection as well of the bar of your State. Notwithstanding your long ser vice on the bench, we are convinced that you have in you years of efficient wo 11k. which we earnestly hope may be rendered in the service of your State. We would deem it a distinct loss to the bench if you voluntarily lay asi(le your judicial duties. We earnest ly hope you will reconsider any inten tion to decline a re-election, and we feel sure that you will receive the cor dial support of the men of our profes sion and of the general public as well." —Mial E. Lilly, a familiar figure here and a member of Congress from 1903 to 1907 from the Bradford-Sus quehanna-Wyoming district, died ,at his home in Towanda, Saturday from angina pectoris. Lilly was for many years a Republican leader in Bradford county. He was 0 5 years old. Ai widow, one son and two daughters survive him. [ —Chairman John R. Haisey, of the I Republican party in Luzerne county, called the executive committee and [several leading Republicans together I for a conference to discuss proposed legislation of interest to the party in I Luzerne, and it was decided that the i time has come for the correction of flagrant election evils through the wholesale granting of registration cer tificates after the expiration of the days allotted for this purpose in cities of the third class, of which Luzerne has three. The method of selecting overseers of election that is now in vo gue was condemned. The Republicans went on record as favoring the single and uniform assessment and collection of taxes in Luzerne. —Tlie Philadelphia Inquirer of to day says: "Publication yesterday of the fact that State Senators James P. MciN'iehol, Edwin H. Vare and William E. Crow have wired their purpose to remain In Florida for a few more days, will deter many candidates for office from going to Harrlsburg to-day. The absence of Senators McNichol, Vare and Crow from Harrlsburg this week, will mean that there will be no action taken in the Senate on any of the im portant matters of legislation or on any nominations made under the Ten or administration." —Judge C. N. Brumm. who will have charge of the grand jury for the March term of Criminal court, was yesterday asked by C. K. Foley, labor leader, in a communication by mail, to have Mayor Pierce Mortimer and Com missioners Hugh Dolan, J. H. Nichter, James Sliellhamer and A. L. Eekert, of the city of Pottsvillc, indicted for numerous alleged misdemeanors in office. —Josiah Cole has been recommend ed for postmaster of Slatington by Congressman Rothermel. —The new city of South Bethlehem closes its first year with a balance in bank. —Efforts to make Montgomery county dry are under way. In some central counties the liquor people I have become so indignant at the re fusal of licenses that they arc threat ening impeachment proceedings. DENTIST \*i.

Here It Is: 'Twas nearing the hour of midnight, time for all human kind to be in bed, when Madame Owl, who had stopped her dismal walls for a time. Just to give her throat a rest, as she sat on her perch, high in thu branches of a dead tit#, caught a sound which caused her to cut a wail of woe short that she mie-ht the better learn what was being done. - "Got the lines and bait all right, there, Bill?" she heard, as she almost fell from her perch in surprise. "Be sure you light that light, there in the bow: we don't want any of those peaky ferryboats to run us down." "All right. Jack," said another voice, "cast that line off, and I'll hold her steady while you jump for it." The line was cast off, and Jack evidently jumped as di rected, as Madame Owl says she heard a splash and some things said that it made her blush even to think of, but Jack got safely in the boat at last, and then she heard "Say. Hill, I guess we'd better anchor right here, where the water rushes up through the top of the culvert; it's a dandy place for carp and snapping turtles. I know, 'cause my giandpap caught a carp there in 187 C that weighed twenty pounds." Then silence fell, so oppressive that Madam Owl was about to start her tale of woe once more, just for company's sake when a voice said. "Quick, Bill, row for your life: here comes a team down the road and th"-- have to drive right through this run to reach the other turn. Just one thing after an other, when culverts choke and make good fishing grounds, teams have to spoil the sport." But this, gentle reader, did not happen, and neither is it liable to but that section of road down there below Bocksley where the water conies through the stone cover ing of the culvert, instead of running out the end, and has made a way for itself in the middle of the road, is cer tainly an unpleasant section. « ■> » Reliersburg is one of the few towns in Berks county which has a Federul Building.
