THE RECEIVERSHIP 811.1.
SENATOR BEIDLEMAN's bill pro
viding for the creation of the of
fice of receiver of taxes in coun
ties of the sire of Dauphin, to
take the place of the cumbersome and j
■ •bsolete system of tax collections now,
n operation, has been sent back to;
committee after having been on the!
calendar of the Senate.
It is to be hoped that this is not an <
attempt to stifle this very worthy i
measure, designed as it is to abolish |
the expensive system of tax collector- !
ships and substitute therefor an offi
cial whose duty it shall be to collect
all county taxes. The bill is in full
accord with modern business methods.
If passed It will not only save thou
sands of dollars to the county every
year, but enable the people to
pay their taxes conveniently and
at a profit to themselves by the opera- j
tion of a discount clause for prompt
payment.
Any Senator who opposes this bill ;
does so for selfish political reasons.'
Any Senator who votes against this >
measure docs so because he prefers
political pap to a business adminis
tration of public affairs. Tho per
petuation of a politicaltjob at the ex
pense of the taxpayer can be the only
excuse for a vote against the Beidle
man bill.
HELP THEM
THE Nursery Home, which lost
nearly all its belongings in the
fire of Tuesday evening, and the
Children's industrial Home,
which generously took in the homeless
little ones, are both in need of the as
sistance of Harrisburg's charitably in
clined people. Neither institution has
made a public plea for help. The
managements of both pluckilv buckled j
down to the task before them. But i
the need is there just the same. The j
Children's Industrial Home must meet
the burdens laid upon it by the add:-;
' tion of forty-five hungry little mouths,
to the number of its inmates and the i
Nursery Home must provide hastily j
furnishings an* equipment for its l
newly-purchascd building in south;
Harrisburg.
Both are doing excellent work in
the community and are deserving of!
all the assistance that may be given :
them.
ST YNDARDIZI X G APPLES
SENATOR MARTIN has introUuced •
a bill providing for the standard- j
ir.ation of Pennsylvania apple.? i
by creating classes of fruit and !
requiring packers to mark their cases f
accordingly. On the surface this I
would seem like a step in the right di- j
rection. . For very many years New-
York and Oregon apples have enjoyed |
a prestige In the markets of the world,
not only because of their quality, but 1
by reason of the fact that the pur- j
chaser is reasonably certain of the'
size and condition of the fruit he buys.
Pennsylvania apples are now being
sold in all parts of the world, even as \
far away as Australia, and these ex
ports are exclusively confined to the
products of growers who conscien-,
tiously label their packages according!
to the quality of She contents. If J
there could be enacted such a State 1
law as Senator Martin proposes, there j
can be no question but that Pennsyl- j
vania apples shortly would be in far'
greater demand than at present and i
would sell at higher prices. At one 1
and the same time the packer and the
consumer would be both protected and j
benefitted.
TWO GREAT PROJECTS
THE announcement yesterday that '
the Stieff Piano Company will '
erect a large store building in'
this city and that the Graupners j
will erect a bakery at a coat of |
1100,000 indicates that there are still
those who look with so much con
fidence toward the future that they
are willing to bank their money upon
an early return of prosperity.
One business man expressed the
thought not long ago that this is a
good time to enter into a new line of
trade, providing there is back of the
enterprise sufficient capital to see it
through the present dull period. His
contention was that a business founded
now will have ample time in whieh to
perfect Its organization and get down
to a systematic running basis by the
time that trade conditions return to
normal. and that it will then be ad- |
vantageouslv .situated to pursue th»-
llnes it had developed.
There is logic in this and no doubt j
•out of tkose who recently an- j
THURSDAY EVENING. EARRISBCRG C&tlbi TELEGRAPH MARCH 18, 1915.
nounced their intentions of spending
| j money on enlargements or In tho de
! velopinent of entirely new businesses
i have seen the matter In that light.
At all events, it must be encouraging
to the business community at large
to see these signs of confidence In the
city's future.
JOIIX a WEAVER
i ' I *HE death of John S. Weaver, the
I I veteran confectioner and baker.
; removes from Harrisburg a busi
ness man for many years iden
i tifled with the very best mercantile life
|of the city, Mr. Weaver was a mer
j chant of the old school. He believed
more in tho quality of the goods he
! offered for sale than in the slse of his
I showcases. That his store has main
tained over a long period of years a
large following is ample demonstration
that the public agreed with him in
this.
Like his late partner, Mr. Hubley,
he was a man of sterling character
j and held in high regard by hundreds
|of friends. He is the last of those
' pioneer business men who made Third
street between Market and Walnut
1 famous throughout tho length and
i breadth of Pennsylvania following the <
' Civil War and whose brains, energy ,
and money did so much for the up
j building of the city.
THE SEASON APPROACHES
ANY evening now you may gc
home to find your favorite easy
chair on the front lawn and the
parlor furniture on a heap in
j the kitchen. Or you may find the
soup well seasoned with dust and your
wife's face as spotted as her temper.
It so. cheer-up. Think not of the di
vorce court or the dire possibilities of
a commission on lunacy, for know ye,
all men. that the housekeeping season
approaches when even the sanest,
most sensible women go mad and in
i their ravings do things marvelous to
; relate. Accept what e'er betide as
j immutable fate and be glad that tho
, mood is but temporary. Were it other
j wise. Dr. Orth would receive as perma
nent lodgers the mentally shattered
! male members of many an erstwhile
j happy home. No man may fathom
i the mystery of the housecleaning mal
iady and few are so hardy as to tell
i the truth when, after a period of
' herculean efforts, order is restored In
the household and his wife asks
proudly, as she sips a draught of nerve
restorer, "Doesn't the room look clean,
John?" For John will lie like the
coward he is, and answer in the af
firmative while he looks vainly around
for some trifling improvement in ap
l pearanccs on which he can hang the
threads of his debased self-respect.
LOCAL OPTION MEETING
> I H E Epworth Leaguers of Har
risburg propose to show the
A legislators just how much in
earnest they are in support of
the Governor's Local Option bill.
They plan to meet, hundreds strong,
to voice their sentiments and to warn
legislators who vote against the meas
ure what they may expect at the hands
of the League should they perchance
iseek future favors at the hands of the
j voters.
It is difficult to understand how any
legislator can run counter to what is
so evidently pronounced public opin
ion in this matter. They can hope
for no future powerful support from
the liquor interests, for the liquor in
terests have no longer any powerful
support to give. Beside, what wan
ing influence they do retain is just as i
apt to be used next year against their I
i friend of to-day as not. The men who j
j oppose local option are doing so for j
; purely selfish reasons, and they well i
, understand that it will be mighty ditfl
! cult to re-elect a candidate, who is at
I present opposed to so popular a nieas
• ure as the local option bill. Conse
| quently, in case the legislation is de
feated this session, they may be ex
pected to concentrate their efforts next
jtime toward the election of a man
'more likely to win. Neither party nor
j individuals mean anything to them.
All they want is votes against option.
' But if those who fear the effects of
| local option are wise they will pass the
' bill at this time and let the matter be
; decided by the voters of the several
| counties, in which ease not a few will
| remain "wet." If they succeed in de
feating it this year, next year will see
I public sentiment so wrought up on the
I issue that not only will a drastic local
j option measure be adopted by the
Legislature of 1917, but on the heels!
of that the "drvs" will record one I
j sweeping victory after another overj
( the State. The people are no longer i
to be trifled with when they ask their i
i paid servants for anything as earnestly j
' as they have expressed themselves on
the local option question.
MiOPER RECOGNITION
THE school board will do no more ;
than pay proper tribute to the !
memory of a popular and effi
cient educator if it adopts the
j suggestion of the Rotary club and
names the Tenth ward school house to j
1 \>e built this year the W. S. Steele '
! building. This building will bo one of |
; the largest and most up-to-date in the j
I city and it would be altogether in
I keeping with the dignity and stand
| ing of Professor Steele to give it his
; name.
Such action would be merely fol
lowing precedent. It has been the
i custom for years to perpetuate the
: names of men well known in the his
tory of the school district in this wav.
There is the W. Howard Day building,
the L. O. Foose building, the Shim
mell buiHing ard others, all nam- d for
men prominent in school aff.-.irs both
recently ard years ;-.go Btside. Prof
Steele was a m?.n vorthy of al 1 honor..
The list of tnose di? ingulshed peda
gogues to which it is proposed to add
his name will not suffer any from the
association.
AN EVENING THOI'GHT
, If you wish to be miserable,
| you must think about yourself—
what you want, what you like,
.
what respect people ought to I
I pay—Kingsiey.
I EVENING CHAT I
, 'l'ho Ueuih or John S. Weaver, Har
; rlsburg'a oldest confectioner, brought
j about a number of Inquiries a* to tho
j origin of the name, "College Block,"
jthe name of the building in which the
Weaver store Is located. This name
was painted on the front of the build
ing for many ye.ws. It can still be
seen by close scrutiny. The building
lis a part of the Fleming estate, and
soon after its erection was one of the
busiest otflce and business buildings In
tho city. The first tenant on the third
floor was the Bryant and Stratton
; business college. When this Institu
tion came to Harrisburg, the superin
tendent of the business college, ufked
,to have the name "College Block"
p.-Hnted on the front of the building,
and that name was used for a Ion?
time. Many changes have been made!
to College Block since its construction.
For a time the bakery department of
tho Weaver and Hubley store was on
the second floor. Later when an adili
; tlon w'as built in the rear, the bak
; cry was moved to the first floor. The
! Fleming bookstore was a prominent,
| business placo for many years in the 1
iSayie building. The corner store room j
i was occupied by the John C. Herman'
cigar company up to a tew years ago. j
I Among visitors to the city yester-1
I day was "Bob" Gamble, the old time]
| baseball pitcher and one of the crack
ishots of the National Guard. "Bob" j
| came u>> to see some old friends and
I shook his head over baseball prospects)
iin Harrisburg. In old days he used to
i hold forth on the Sixth street grounds
! and was one of the great pitchers of'
leagues twenty-five years ago. He has
not changed much.
Pennsylvania Railroad improve-'
111111 ft in South Harrisburg were tied
up yesterday for the best part of four
hours. One stubborn mule was the
cause. Wrecks and snow are some
times difficult to get rid of. but the
, Pennsylvania forces can always get
away with them. A mule Is different,
i This particular mule was one of a
j double team used to assist in pulling
out the heavy wagons when loaded
with dirt. When one of the wagons
had been filled the mules were backed
up to the wagon. This balky mule
took a notion to quit. He not only
refused to budge, but after a few min
utes coaxing rolled over on a pile of
dirt. Men from other parts of the
work were called, and with boards and
.'ropes tried to lift that mule to its feet.
, Stones were put in his ears, the tail
twisted, and finally someone started a
i tire near the mule. It was no use.
That mule did not move for four
i hours. It was estimated that in the
I loss of time on the work, and the tie
ing up of other wagons waiting to be
loaded, that mule's stubborness cost
the contractor between S4O and SSO.
Now that St. Patrick's Pay has come
and gone, the green novelties will go
back to the shelves for another year.
There was very little that was new
■offered this year. This, it is said, was
;duc to the war in Europe. Most of the
; St. Patrick's Day novelties, were made
lin Germany. One of the many things
| offered for sale this year were green
I pigs. Not a few could explain why
[a pig was an appropriate novelty for
! St. Patrick s Day. They evidently had
i not read all about St. Patrick.
It is legend that when a young man,
St. Patrick was sold into captivity.
He decided to run away, but not until
he had prayed to God to help him.
[would the sailors on board a vessel
i take him on the ship. Subsequently
| the ship found land. Feed was scarce
, and the tailors were nearly starved.
St. Patrick said- he would pray for
| food, if they joined him in prayer.
[They agreed. In less than twenty
minutes sifter everybody started to
i pray, a herd of swine came in sight,
[of which the sailors took possession,
and had food for a long time. They
made a further search and found that
the swine had been feeding in fields
nearby where other products were
found that helped in providing more
food.
The poem written for Pennsylvania's
big day at the Panama Pacific exposi
tion which will be delivered to-day
was the work of Harvey M. Watts,
former managing editor of the Phila
delphia Press. It is a work of con
siderable strength, not a mere poem,
but rather one of the old-time works
that catch the minds of men and en
dure. Mr. Watts is well-known in
Harrisburg as he has frequently visit
ed here.
A comment on the comparative hos
pitality of different people of Harris
burg was made yesterday by a keen,
•ibserver of the fire that destroyed the!
'Nursery Home at Heel's Lane and
Third streets. This person was origi
nally from the south where genuine
hospitality is a by-word, and accord
ling to her accounts the people who did
I contribute their help when the chil
dren of the home had to be cared
jfor immediately, did so with a hearti
ness that overshadowed even the
famed South. On the other hand,
many persons in the crowd that stood
| watching the fire were so Indifferent
to requests for assistance made by the
persons in charge of the children, that
their attitude could be called nothing
but stupidity.

M'COKK MAY
SUCCEED PALMER
Morris However, Will Delay Call
ing a Meeting of the State
Committee For a While
AFRAID OF A CONTEST
Democratic Legislators Hunting
Around For Something Which
May Make Thunder
Vance C. McCormick. late Demo
cratic candidate tor governor, is in
line for tho next Democratic national
committeemanship from Pennsylvania
if machine plans can be worked out.
It is the belief among Democrats in
■ the Legislature that Justice A. Mit
chell Palmer and State Chairman Ro
land S. Morris will try to put McCor
mick over when Palmer retires from
the job of dispenser of patronage.
—Under the rule the State com
mittee must elect and the filling of tho
vacancy will afford a very interest
|ing opportunity for a test of the
strcugth of the machine bosses. Some
of the Democratic legislators have been
itching for a chance to have a State
committee meeting so as to show what
they think of Morris nnd his pals an.l
hoping that they could get a chance
to demand that he resign. However,
there arc now some who feel that Mc
jCormick having spent money, suffered
in the campaign and died at the eleo
itlon, is entitled to some recognition
land that some opposed to Morris might
! feel like compensating the Harrisburg
I man.
—The reorganization gangsters
claim a majority of the State commit
tee. but would not risk anything until
the session of the Legislature ends
and the bosses will try to make som"
plays in legislation for effect. As there
are a couple of hundred of post offices
and some other appointments to be
made, as well as possible vacancies,
which would require the rubber stamp
the job of national committeeman
would be an important one. McCor
mick is used to thorns and would not
mind the crown when Palmer lays it
down.
—Democrats in the Legislature aro
in an agitated state just now over tho
Umbel impeachment resolution. Tho
judge is a Democrat and both wings
of the Democracy are flapping about
him. Governor Brumbaugh talked
over the situation with Senator Crow,
Speaker Ambler and Chairman Wilson
yesterday and the signs are that the
House is going through with it. It
will mean a ventilation of Fayette
county affairs and might prolong the
session. If the House should vote to
impeach the Senate would sit after the
House adjourned.
—The announced coming of William
Flinn to boost various measures has
not caused as much fuss as such an
nouncements did two years ago. The
people have been heard from.
—Provost E. F. Smith, of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, was at the
Capitol yesterday afternoon on a brief
visit.
—While officials of the State Game
Commission were in the House appro
priations committee yesterday urging
the increases of salaries, the House
was passing the bill prepared by the
sportsmen which went the commission
figures a few better.
—Rumors were afloat last night that
Democratic legislators who wear the
machine colors are preparing for a
rear-up on the floor some day soon to
show that they are in the Legislature.
There has been very little noise from
the machine men and they have missed
some opportunities. Ex-Justice Sarig,
of Temple, Berks county, Pennsylva
nia. U. S. A., is said to be a likely
disturber of the serenity of the House
some day. Sarig does not believe that
new members should be seen and not
heard except to vote right and as ho
does not like conditions, and presum
ably some appropriation committee
| appointments, he may buck. It would
be interesting, diverting, entertaining
! and enlivening.
—Ex-Representative Sassaman, of
i Reading, heretofore known as "Our
[George," was a Capitol visitor, meet
! ing some of his colleagues.
I —Speaker Ambler is as prompt as
George E. Alter in starting on time.
He began the House two minutes
ahead a day or so ago to keep in prac
tice.
—Last night's session of the House
at 7.30 was the first held at that hour
In years.
—Representative Barnett, of York,
is the official orator on patriotism in
Pennsylvania during the Civil war. He
made a plea last night on his pension
resolution that had red, white and
blue all through it. He was cheered
and got all the votes.
—Among visitors to the Capitol yes
terday was Colonel Henry Hall, the
head "of the Washington bureau of the
Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph and for
years a legislative correspondent here,
lie was the first president of the as
sociation and was heartily greeted by
the old timers.
—James F. McCoy, assistant manag
ing editor of the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger and former legislative corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Press, was
a legislative visitor.
—Men talking mining do not throw
any bluffs at Senator H. A. Tompkins,
of Cambria. lie is an operator and
knows things from the surface down
and also from the ground up.
We are inclined to look upon
bad temper as a very harmless
weakness, but the Bible again and
again condemns it as one of the
most destructive elements In hu
man nature.—Henry Drummond.

Your Head and Stomach
! Headache caused by a disturbed di
gestion is nearly always accompanied
by pain in the stomach, belching of
gas, vomiting and often by constipa
i tlon. This sort of headache is »en>
< erally located in the forehead and is
not constant but comes and goes.
It does not come on immediately
after eating but after tho food lias
had time to ferment, which it does be
cause tlie digestive fluids that should
take care of it are insufficient, be
cause the glands that secrete these
' fluids are weak, because the blood is
falling to nourish these glands prop
erly.
Rich, red blood is the first essential
to proper digestion and tho digestive
process cannot go on without it.
When lack of nourishing blood causes
fermentation and poisons are ab
sorbed from the digestive tract, the
1 pain in your head advises you of the
fact. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give
the blood just the elements they need
to correct this condition and, with a
laxative, when required, form a per
fect treatment for the headaches of
indigestion.
Mention this paper and we will
send you two little books on the diet
and the proper use of a laxative. Ad

Here's a question that is occupying the greatest minds
of to-day. Likewise it is a question that is in the front
rank of social progression. It is a question that every
man will have to say definitely what his opinion in the
matter is. For soon this will be a state issue, when
every man's vote will count.
Three Big Mass Meetings
will he held in this city next Sunday afternoon. Every
man in Harrisburg is wanted at those meetings. Nevec
mind whether you have a very definite view of the sub
ject, get in line and hear what the speakers will have to
say. Three good addresses, one of which will be deliver
ed in your section of the city. Get out to that meeting.
It will do you a lot of good, and will help the greatest
cause before the nation to-day. Men's Bible classes and
other organizations will have delegations at the various
meetings. Every man is welcome.
SUPPORT THE WILLIAMS LOCAL OPTION BILL
Sponsored by Governor Brumbaugh, offering a fair and
