TELLING THE PLAIN TRUTH
THE TELEGRAPH is in receipt of
the following letter from a well
known Harrisburger of Inde
pendent political views:
I Iread, with a great deal of pleas
ure, your recent editorial headed
'"Purpose of Attacks."
To nij mind these straight-from
tlie-shouder, honest, sincere and
absolutely plain-truth editorials
have more weight than columns of
partisan argument in favor of or
against anything or condition.
The ultimate result of such un
reasoning and unreasonable critl- I
< isms as have been indulged in |
against the present Council can
only result in one of two things,
.•mil probably both—that the quali
fications of the candidates who offer
themselves as city Councilman will
not be up to the standard the city
is entitled to. or those who do offer
themselves will have beforehand
made up their minds to pay 110 at
tention to criticism, and when we
luivi- elected this last kind of 'a
man. the trouble Is that ho is not
open to criticism or argument, good
or bad. 11l fact, it is the old story
of Wolf! wolf! wolf! until both the
wolf and the lamb become hardened
and accustomed to the cry, with
results disadvantageous to both.
The foregoing is published with nu
vain-glorious notion of self-laudation,
but to emphasize what this newspaper
many times has insisted is a stumbling
block to efficient public service and a
grave peril to good government.
The Telegraph's correspondent sets
forth what is unquestionably true,
vhen he says that much of the criti
cism directed toward the Republican
majority in City Council is "unreason
able," and that its effect cannot be
other than disastrous upon the minds
of voters who accept it as truth. Il l
there be any so thoughtless.
Figures that anyone may verify 1
show that the Republican eouncilmen
t for the three Republicans aione are
responsible for the constructive por
tion of the councilmanlc program)
have saved to the city over and above
Ihe salaries paid them, about $50,000
during the first year of their terms in
office. In addition, they have made
many improvements and there is no
point upon wnich (they have not done)
all in their power to conserve the in
terests and the moneys of the tax-1
imyer.
Every attack that has been made j
upon them lias come from one-quarter
and has been made with the sole pur-!
pose of so discrediting them in the
eyes of voters that it will lie
for the Democratic machine to elect
a majority of the councllmen to be
chosen in November. There is no
other reason for the course that has
been adopted by the mouthpiece of
the Democratic bosses in this city.
At every turn the councllmen have
done their best for Harrlsburg. They
have performed their work conscien
tiously. and as the figures will show
anybody who desires to consult them,
very efficiently. It is discouraging to
be adversely criticised in any case, but
much more so when one has done j
his utmost. The whole tendency of
this policy is to force upon public ofli-1
cials the thought that conscientious cf- f
fort is not appreciated, and that they j
may as well be slaughtered for wolves
as for lambs. Fortunately, those now
in the service of the city are not weak
enough to take that view of the situ
ation. but who shall say how those who
succeed them, whoever they may
be, will view the matter?

F1 J ears ago to-day General
Grant accepted the surrender of
General Lee at Appomattox. The
United States had justified itself.
The government of Washington and
Lincoln was perpetuated for all time.
Then the future was as dark almost
as the present. Nobody could peer
through the awful curtain that hung
between the destruction of war and
the reconstruction of the peace that
was to follow. General Grant It was
who struck the keynote. Grant it was
who extended all the courtesies and
kindnesses that one brave man might
expect of another to Lee. Grant it was
who, after the tiger strife was over,
first extended the good right hand of
American brotherhood to the rebel
leader and stood by Jiis action with
the threat of resignation when Stan?
ton would have dealt harshly with the
defeated general.
As one writer has said, it was the
humane and generous terms offered to
the bcitten, disorganized and famished
Army of Northern Virginia that de
cided Lee not only to sheathe his
sword but to urge his men "to go as
quickly and quietly to their homes as
ijosslble, to resume peaceful avoca
tions, and to be as good citizens as
they had been soldiers."
And that is the spirit that animates
American* 10-day. There la no North
k.

and there is 110 South, save in the
geographies. This country is the United
States of America and it is so because
Grant set the example of "letting the
dead past bury its dead." This, and
not the victories that went before nor
the Presidency that came after, was
the crowning point in Grant's re
markable career.
FORGING THE FINAL MNK
THERE is good news in the an
nouncement that surveys for the
proposed three-mile stretch of
driveway that is to wind through
the city parkway from the present
terminus of Cameron parkway to the
Reservoir have been started by the
engineering corps of the Park Depart
ment and that within the next few
weeks City Commissioner M. Harvey
Taylor, superintendent of parks and
public property, will be ready to ask
for bids for the construction of the
road.
An outline of the city park system,
as published by this newspaper yes
terday, gives'one a very fair idea of
the magnificent stretch of driveway
that will surround the city with the
forging of this linal link. Few inland
citie's have anything to compare with
it. A motor trip or a tramp over its
entire course takes one through quiet
dells where birds twitter and violets
bloom and rivulets trickle; across
green, meadows and through the wild
wood, along picturesque Paxton creek,
over the heights and across the low
lands, by the broad Susquehanna and
beneath JJie low .brows of the moun
tains. Lake, forest, picturesque bits of
I natural growth and broad sweeps of
I landscape; all fall within its scope.
It has been a long time coming, but
the glory of difficult accomplishment
lies in it: the unselfish devotion of
many men who have labored for it,
the enthusiasm of our people who
voted their taxes to it, and the gen
erosity of those who gave their land to
make it possibly. The city is a better
place in which to live because of it
and the people are the sole bene- ;
ticiaries. Truly, it is an improvement |
worthy of all the work and money j
expended upon it: one that requires
the creation of no depreciation fund in
its behalf, no insurance fees for its
protection, but that will grow steadily
in value as the years go by.
OX THE TANNING OF HIDES
ORDINARILY one is not encour
aged to look in the editorial
columns of a local contem
porary for sententiously ex
pressed wisdom. In more ways than
one the exact opposite is the rule
there. However, the unexpected hap
pens occasionally, as witness this
apothegm which occurred in :.n edi
torial criticising the School Board on
Thursday morning:
Constant lushing;,of the whip will
harden any hide.
It is not worth the while of the
reader to point out that this is but
a well-worn and not too elegantly ex
pressed proverb. Origin and form
are of small moment in this case; the
important point is that the statement
from such a source comes with all
the refreshing effect of a truth new
born.
Few whips have been used mere
vigorously and ruthlessly than that i
wielded by the publication mentioned, j
Seldom has an equal amount of en- j
ergy expended ostensibly with tlie i
purest of intentions been productive j
of such meager results. But reason I
has asserted itself at last. The fact, j
long apparent to others, that mere
castigation defeats its own purpose, is j
admitted. Hereafter when this par-j
ticular lash hisses through the air it 1
will be fair to assume that it is not j
because good is expected to result.
THE STATE AND BRIDGES
SENATOR BEIDLEMAN has pre- i
sented a bill in the Senate appro-1
priatlng $275,000 for tlie erection
of a bridge across the Susque-I
hanna river at. Millersburg, There can |
be question of tlje need of a bridge at I
that point. There is no bridge nearer 1
that thriving community than Clark's
Kerry. Millersburg lies at the end
of a fertile and thickly-populated val- j
ley. The road that runs through it
goes into Northumberland and Schuyl-j
kill counties. On the west side of the j
river lies an equally well populated j
territory. Millersburg could be made 1
a business place of far greater im
portance than it is and the people of 1
a great surrounding territory would i
be benefitted by such a bridge as Is j
proposed.
The time is fast approaching when !
the State will have to go into the
bridge building business on a large
scale. Bridges that join two sections!
of State highway must belong to the
State. It is absurd that a condi-i
lion should be allowed to exist such as |
confronts the motorists going in or j
out of llarrisburg to Or from tlie West, j
where two sections of improved high
way, one built l>y the city and thc (
other by the State, lead up to either
one of two toll bridges.
' TIIE STEPS"
T is to be sincerely hoped that Com-
Imissioner Lynch's plan for the com
pletion of the river wall steps along
the abandoned coal wharf between
Market and Walnut streets will be
adopted by Council. There is no longer
any need for wharfage facilities at the
point named and the logical thing to j
do is to remove the wall that has been I
erected there and replace it with a
continuation of the concrete steps that
now run almost from one end of the
city to the other.
Only in this way can be maintained
the harmonious effect of this great
promenaxle. the like of which there is
not elsewhere in the whole country.
If there is any doubt about money at
hand for the completion of the. im
provement along the plans suggested
by Mr. Lynch, then it would be much
better to let the matter stand as it is
for the present. The permanent es
tablishment of what amounts to a
wharf at thut point would be a very
serious interruption of the unquestion
ably artistic effect of the whole Im
provement. Hut the amount Involved
In not so large. It would seem, as to
seriously hamper councllmen in their
efforts to finish up this great work all
at the same timv.
1 EVENING CHAT I
"Bob" Magee gave his pigeon flock
small attention yesterday. The martins
are due from the South and he wanted
to see that they found their nests be
neath the Bates & Co. awning in Mar
ket street. No less than a score of
other folks waited for several hours
yesterday in the hope of seeing the
martin family .arrive. These lively,
chattering blackbirds from the South
are late this year. Last year they ar
rived on April C. Muring the Spring
of 1913 they were in their nests on
April 3. It is the belief that the snow
storm of last Sunday is holding the
Spring messengers back this year.
Once the martins are here and start
work on their summer home, every
body realizes that warm weather is a
certainty. Until the awning of the
old Opera House was torn away these
martins made their nests there. Since
that time they have been holding forth
at the Hates awning, adjoining the po
lice station. The martins usually
come under the cover of darkness.
They get busy at once and before
many weeks there will be large
family of these birds. They are
scrappy birds, pull each other around
by the feathers, knock each other
from the nests and keep up a chatter
that is heard from early morning until
late in the evening.
While "Bob" Magee was discussing
the goodly qualities of his favorite
topic, the martins, the question of
early telegraph messages came up.
The manager of the Stanley Apart
ments was not long in producing
proofs that he had an original copy of
one of the oldest messages now in ex-
Istance. The message was sent from
Wrlghtsville. Pa., to Philadelphia,
June 2ft. 1563, by the Atlantic and
Ohio Telegraph Lines. The message
was sent by Mrs. H. K. Bovd to Mrs.
Martha Smith and read. "We are all
safe." Mrs. Smith was at that time
located at ft 3« North Fifth street,
Philadelphia. Subsequently she be
came the wife or the late Colonel
Frank ,1. Magee, father of "Bob" Ma
gee. The message was sent at the
time the rebels threatened to burn the
bridge across the Susquehanna river
at Wrightsville. The Atlantic a, ml
Ohio telegraph lines extended to Pitts
| burg, Cincinnati. Louisville, Chicago,
I New Orleans and intermediate points.
I The Philadelphia oftlre was located at
j 105 South Third street, Philadelphia.
I he president of the company was the
late .1. 11. Berryhill, of llarrisburg, and
t.Vm su P er ' n ten dent, D. Brooks, of
1 hiladolphia. The message is in good
condition and is valued very highly bv
the owner.
Some of the members of the Tech
nical high school faculty have been
chuckling for the last few days every
time they recall a little incident in
which a very absent-minded fellow
meniber figured, it anpears that the
instructor's wife had been afflicted
with a sever cold and was using sev
eral-grain quinine pills everv few
hours Tlie otlur evening the wife
called to her husband to bring a pill
and a glass of water to her room. She
waited a few minutes and then to her
amazement she finally got this answer"
"Gee. I'm sorry, Mary—but I didn't
think what I was <loin£ —and T took
that pill myself. I didn't remember
until it was too late.'"
Now and then the small son or
daughter iof the house presents a
problem in psychology that, figura
tively speaking, makes father or
mother "sit up and take notice." An
admiring parent recently enjoyed that
experience when his small son ex
hibited a painful burn on his hand.
The father is a riveter employed 011 1
the Cumberland Valley bridge con
struction work over the Front street
subway. The small son, who lives
nearby, had wandered over ta the!
1 job and was playing about some of ■
the little furnaces at which the rivets!
were heated. Incidentally he picked
up a rivet which he believed was!
J cold enough to handle.
1 "It hurted, papa," explained the i
boy, "and I just had to cry. Mr !
Smith, who works with you, he
! burned himself on the hand, too. bdt
he didn't cry—he swore. But I didn't
, swpar, papa, because T knew ir I j
> sweated, you'd give me a whippin'." I
"Why, son," genially laughed his j
1 parent, "I burned myself the other
day in about the same way, and "
"Did you cry, papa," came from
the mouth of the babe, "or did you
swear?"
I "I can tell when Spring is here by
I the. blossoming of the red lights," said
one of the city's well-known real
j estate men. "These night blooming
I flowers tell me when Spring is here.
I The contractors get busy on street im
provements and the warning red lights
are to be seen affer nightfall on every
'side. It is a never-failing sign of
Spring."
| Among visitors to the city to-day
I was Dr. L. W. Chaney, of the federal
I department of labor, one of the most
eminent men in statistics in labor
| matters in the country.
| For nearly a minute a downtown
businessman waited for a reply when
Ihe rung up his wife 011 the phone.
I Finally be heard the receiver click
| and his wife's voice chirped:
I "I want you to come home right
, away. I've lost my key and can't
I get in the house."
1 "Then how in the name of all the j
i saints were you able to answer the'
phone?" queried the puzzled man.
"Oh, I'm at Mrs. Jones'—she's on
lour line and I answered the ring."
Now who says a party line is a snare
and a delusion?

Many Bills on Hand
Less than half of the 1,517 bills
presented to the House of Represen
tatives have been acted upon by com
mittees, but next week every commit
tee will have a meeting to discuss
measures in their charge. The big
bills will be out of the House next
week and it is the plan to devote at
tention to the borough code and vari
ous administration bills including the
revenue raisers on which committees
may give hearings. A hearing will
also be held on the bill for the pro
posed constitutional convention.
The number of bills presented to
the House is far less than the total
of last session in the lower branch
which was 2.7H4. An interesting fact
in connection with the bills is that the
date when they were stopped last ses

William Jennings Bryan
Once Again Announces His
Presidential Aspirations
Washington. D. C.. April 9. —Secre-
tary Bryan will take the lead in the
light against the liquor interests. He
prom'ised to-day to go into Pennsyl
vania to make speeches next year for
local option. He is more interested in
the antiliquor movement than any
issue of the many that he has adopted.
If his duties permit, Secretary Bryan
will begin his light in Ohio this year.
To-day he promised Ohio Democratic
leaders to take the stump in that State
for State-wide prohibition. If he
cannot go, he said he would write a
letter to the people of that State favor
ing the issue.
Mr. Bryan, it is said by keen po
litical observers, is taking up this issue,
in which he is undoubtedly sincerely
and devoted interested, in the hope, if
the situation should properly develop,
of being the Democratic candidate for
President in liflfi.
Mr. Bryan said to-day to a Philadel
phia admirer that the biggest question
before the American people was the
liquor problem. His activity in this
direction goes to show that he is either
preparing to become either a candi
date for the fourth titne for President
or to enlarge his lecture Held.

WAR
I The thrill of war's a base deceit;
i The rattle of the drum's a lie.
'it lures brave men with scurrying feet
i To go where many dangers lie;
■ It sings a soldier's death is sweet;
It tells how great it is to die.
j And yet no death can splendid be
i That's caused by selfishness and
pride;
j The weeping widow—does not she
i Bong for the husband at her side?
Can any selfish victory
Restore the loved one that has died?
To die for others may be line.
But not to die for others' gain.
The thin and faltering battle line.
The dead men on the bloody plain
Are seldom there by God's design;
Some human soul must wear the
stain.
Murder in uniform is war,
Exalted only by a thrill,
And how long must It be before
Men will not blindly rush to kill?
How many generations more
Before the cannon's voice is still?

In the days when lie was superin
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyard
in England, Lord Fisher, the present
Admiral of the British Fleet, had the
sea-dog attitude toward the men; he
frequently treated them with all the
harshness of a whaling captain; they,
in turn, treated him with a half
friendly, half-hostile familiarity.
Several years after his Portsmouth
days, Fisher visited one of his old as
soqiates of the forecastle who was
then living on half pay. He found the
old man comfortably settled In a cot
tage, attended by another superan
nuated seaman.
"Why do you have this other man
here?" asked the Admiral.
"1 keep 'im 'ere," said the pen
sioner, "to come into my quarters at
five o'clock in the mornln' an' sing out
'Hi there! the Hadmtral wants to see

lock Holmes back to the world, nnd
not only is it the lirst new Sherlock
Holmes story for ten years, but also
half its action is laid in America, for
which reason it attracted great in
terest in America even before its pub
lication.
The second reason for the keen in
terest in Conan Doyle is his active
share in presenting the English side
of the present war; its causes and con
duct. How widely his influence was
felt may be judged from the I'sct that
when the Germans established their
war zone blockade, on February 18.
there was carried on the cables and
printed all over England a wild-cat
story to the effect that the Germans
had been inspired to that action by
reading "Danger," a short story by
Doyle published at about the begin
ning of the war. In this story he pic
tured the conquest of England by a
mythical country called "Norland," by
means of a submarine blockade.
Naturally, the rumor was not received
with enthusiasm by the ardent admir
ers of the author.
Doyle's important writings upon the
war have been recently dignified with
publication in book form, under the
title of "The German War," published

at almost the same time as the new
Holmes story, "The Valley ol Fear.'
Chapter headings as not often re
liable guides to an author's theories
but in this case such chapter head
ings as "The World-War Conspiracy,"
"The Devil's Doctrine," "The Greal
German Plot," "The Contemptible
Little Army," "A Policy of Murder,'
and "Madness" indicates how fervent
ly Doyle has thrown himself into tin
struggle against Germany.
