A SHIPPING CENTER
ON another page to-day the Tele
graph makes the welcome an
nouncement that the Harrisburg
freight transfer of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company is to be
8,-eatly enlarged.
The development will give work to
at least 150 more men. and that is
good news. But better, even, than
that is the recognition accorded Har
risburg as a shipping center. The
larger the transfer sheds at this point
and the more cars they are capable
of handling a day, the more ware
houses and branches of big manufac
turing interests will there be at this i
point, and the bigger and more pros
perous will the city become.
The Chamber of Commerce hit upon
a happy thought when it selected as
its slogan "Harrisburg the Heart of
Distribution." We may be important
in a manufacturing way, and the rapid
prowth of the Harrisburg Pipe Bend
ing Works and the great enlargements
now being made at Steelton are proofs .
of that, but it is as a distributing
center that we can develop most rap
idly and logically.
That the Pennsylvania Railroad has
concurred in our own judgment in this
respect indicates that we have not
been led away by false hopes and a
mistaken loyalty to our own city. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is not
governed by sentiment in the determi
nation of such important matters as
the locatioiMrfvfe, the iaBSOM transfer
yards on its system. Harrisburg may
rest assured that they have been es
tablished here because this is the ;
logical place for them, and are about
to be enlarged for the same reason.
Remember. Saturday is closing day
In that Civic Club backyard garden
contest. Get busy. You may win one
of the prizes.
THF WEDDING JOKER
(( r much heathenism" in the
preparations for the modern
wedding ceremony is soundly
berated by the Rev. Harvey .
K'aer, of this city, in a recent sermon
on marriage.
And this being near the season of
roses, orange blossoms and brides, the
Rev. Mr. Klaer's remarks are timely
and worth thinking over both by the 1
happy couples-to-be themselves and i
by their overzealous friends.
Marriasre is a solemn ceremony, not
a thing to be made a brunt for prac
tical jokine. the slinging of old shoes j 1
and the tieing of tin cans to the bridal
couple's cab. Deck the bride with
orange blossoms and lilies of the val
ley; dress the bridegroom in raiment '
ft' for a king; but placard their suit- '
case and their little cottage with 1
ijever (?) witticisms—never!
Dr. Klaer is right. There IS too 1
much heathenism in the modern wed- !
ding. When fofks get over the idea '
that a wedding is a joke they may be''
in a fair way to get over thinking i '
marriage itself is a joke. Let there be j'
levity and good nature at the bridal j
bower, for the joining of a pair of j 1
loving souls into the holiest of bonds is ! !
no cause for tears: but none of the 1
rude jesting and pointless joking that '
mar so many wedding ceremonies. '
Practical jokes are getting to be too
ancient to be funny anyway. '
!tal> arrears to have stolen some of '
President Wilson's thunder, having re- '■
duced his "watchful waiting" policy to
a fine art.
THE CHORAL SOCIETY
HATIRISBURG has been more than
generous with its patronage of <
musical events this season, even j
though they have been far more . :
numerous than usual. Now the sea-1
son is to be brought to a close with !,
the Choral Society s Spring Festival 11
on Thursday. More than any other
organization in Central Pennsylvania i
the Choral Society has been instrumen- j
tal in keeping alive and fostering the'
love of good music in the community.
W hen the city was otherwise well nigh
dead in a musical sense, the Choral
Society was active and energetic. Not :
alone for the reason that the iwo i
concerts of this we»k will h e well
worth hearing, but for all that the '
society ha« done for Harrisburc in the
past, should the Spring Festival attract >
the patronage of every lower of mu
sic.
T. R. AND THE "HOSSES"
SOME of the newspapers that have
no fondness for Colonel Roosevelt
are just now holding up their
hands in holy horror over the
ex-President's admission at Syracuse
that be was not above consulting with
TUESDAY EVENING,
"tha bosses" of his party concerning
nomination* and legislation.
Juat what crime haa the Colonel
committed In this? Who In polltica
or buaineaa haa not conaulted aotne
"boss"?
Aa soon as a man a place
of prominence in any political party
he becomes a "leader" to those who
I believe in hia policies and a "boss" in
the eyes*of his opponents. Ueaders,
I or "bosses," are essential in any walk
jof life. The better the "boss" the
! more efficient the factory or the road
! gang or the selling force. Take away
I the "boss" from any business you can
| think about and what will become of
it? "Bosses" are necessary; every-
I body realizes that.
Of course, there are good "bosses"
| and bad "bosses," and therein is the
j only evil thereof, and this applies quite
! as much to business as to politics.
i If you want a change made in your
i work, to whom do you go? To a fel-
I low-employe? No. To the "boss." of
i course. Do you want to sell an es
! tablishment a. bill of goods ' To whom
do you go? To the janitor? No. To
the "boss." to be sure.
So it is in politics. When Theodore
Roosevelt wanted anything politically
he consulted the leaders of the party,
or the "bosses." if you please. It was
quite natural that he should do so.
They were the men In power.
As long as he observed that policy
he was successful. He got many things
from the leaders—or "bosses" —which
they did not want to give, but he got
them by consulting with them. It was
the proper thing to do. The very
minute he assumed to take the reins
of entire leadership into his own
hands, to be the supreme "boss," as
it were, that minute he began to lose
his grfp.
Who shall say that Roosevelt might
not have heen a bigger, stronger, more
popular man to-day. and just as good
a citizen, if he had done a little more
consulting with "bosses" previous to
his 1912 campaign?
The storm that passed over town last
night with a few drops of rain and so
much wind and thunder, reminds one
of the late Democratic Congress—so
much noiss and so few of the promised
"showers of blessings."
THK NEEDS OF THF HOME
THE managers of the Children's
Industrial Home do not often
come before the public for as
sistance, notwithstanding that
the charity under their care is as
worthy as any in the city. All the
more. then, should the public respond
when they do ask for assistance.
To-day, on another page, the Tele
graph publishes an appeal for aid.
Some time ago a fire was started at
the Home by one of the inmates who
happened upon a match box. The
lives of scores of innocent little ones
were endangered. Now the matron
and the nurses sleep in terror lest,
perhaps, there be a repetition at a
time when discovery might come too
late to avail. They ask for money i
sufficient to wire the building and
equip it electrically.
This is no unreasonable request.
Five hundred dollars will be ample.
How many readers of the Telegraph
give anything toward the support of
this home, which is making a duty of
taking babies and young children from
undesirable surroundings and develop
ing them into self-respecting boys and
girls? Isn't it about time that the
public as a ■whole gave a little more
attention to this and the other chari
ties of Harrisburg?
Tou who have more than your
neighbor—how about you—have you
lived up to the biblical injunctions to
remember the little ones and to "give
as the Lord has prospered thee"?
What does the Colonel care how the
verdict goes! Hasn't he got back on
the front page?
Living In the country is perfectly de
lightful these days, but it has one
drawback. The rural dweller doesn't
want to come to work in the morning.
TADPOLES AND WEI.FAHE WORK
THE Legislature defeated the local
option bill, and that settled it
for this session. The Senate and
House will reach conclusions on
the child labor bill this week, and
that will settle the long debat4 over
this measure for another two years.
The workmen's compensation bills will
be put up to the Governor as the mem
bers and senators want them, and that
will settle the compensation dispute.
Thus are matters of vital import to
the welfare of the State at large de
cided once and for all.
But while that method is good
enough for mere taxpayers and their
progeny, it is not sufficient when the
interests of Pennsylvania's frogs and
tadpoles are at stake. Only the other
day Governor Brumbaugh vetoed a
frog and tadpole protective bill and
alreadv there is another in the Sen
ate. The rights of the bullfrogs must
and shall be protected. What would
spring be without the bullfrog chorus?
Here is a subject well worth the best
efforts of the social welfare corps.
A thief entered a woman's cellar
while she was attending a "Billy" Sun
day service and stole two tons of coal.
Another argument in favor of shorter
sermons.
Secretary Daniels has convinced the
public that if the naval officers he has
been censuring know little about their
duties, the Secretary knows less.
JOHN BUNNY
THE death of John Bunny will be
mourned by millions of Ameri
cans who learned to love the
funny little fellow whose shadow
moved across the screen for years In a
series of comedies that, while they
make no boast of being classics or
even approaching thereto, were never
theless clean, amusing and often
screamingly fut\jiy.
Bunny was a lovable character. His
smile was his fortune. Homely to a
degree that would have driven a less
capable and magnetic man from the
stage. Bunny nevertheless was up to
the time of his death the most popular
"movie" comedian in the world. His
' fun left a pleasant taste In the mouth.
I Me was never coarse and never vulgar,
Jaut lie always got a laugh, aad la thsu
he haa aet an example that many of
his fellow-actors, both in moving plo
turea and actual atage ltfa, might atudy

tlon to their patrona.
["EVENING CHAT I
It is Interesting to note that there
lias baen a marked Increase in the
number of bird houses this Spring and
that in atreeta where birds were sel
dom seen, little boxes have been put up
w-hich the scouts of the sparrows have
spied and pre-empted promptly. Some
weeks ago the Telegraph called atten
tion to the value of birds In keeping
the trees in the city's paras ana In
the residential sections free from In
sects and suggested bird hotels ana
bird houses. Among the results were
statements by merchants that they
had received many requests for bird
boxes and that- if some firm would only
make up a box that would sell at from
fifty cents to a dollar they could es
tablish a new and brisk line of busi
ness. Another result was the appear
ance of numerous boxes, very mani
festly the work of boys, in shade trees.
Governor Brumbaugh's proclamation
In which he called attention to the
importance of providing for the birds
to live in the trees as well aa the
trees to be planted on Arbor Day, gave
renewed impetus to the movement in
behalf of birds. The Governor receiv
ed a number of letters on the subject
and the usual amount of suggestions.
The care for birds about the citv Is
Increasing and there is every indica
tion that this summer there will be
more bird houses than ever about
town.
"It is doubtful if in the city of Har
risburg any such general demolition of
buildings was ever known as has been
under way in the Capitol Park Ex
tension district and yet it has been so
gradual that people talk about what
the railroads are doing in South Sec
ond street as the most extensive op
eration said a man who follows things
about the city. "When you consider
that over 200 buildings have disap
peared from the park extension dis
trict you get some idea of what has
been going on and the next two years
will open the eyes of the people of the
city and of visitors to what the citv
has given up to the State in the way of
taxable property to say nothing of nine
acres of land embraced in highways."
Birds and bats have been known to
fly into the legislative halls and occa
sionally a Capitol pigeon pays a visit
and stirs up trouble to get It out, but
a few days ago the first butterflies
ever known appeared in the chamber
of the House. The butterflies were of
the cabbage variety and were blown
into the hall by a breeze. How they
ever got into the park no one seems to
know.
If number of blossoms is anything
to go by the orchards surrounding
Harrisburg and the fruit trees in the
yards about Harrisburg will be laden
with fruit this season. The warm days
have caused the bursting of the buds
of the trees and they resemble hues
bouquets among the houses and the
fields.
Canoeists, who have already brought
out their frail craft for the summer,
are getting much fun these days
"shooting" through the narrow boat
way in the new dam at the lower end
of the city, Now while the river is
much a'oove normal it's a rather easy
feat to shoot through the narrow chan
nel. The water rushes through the
small opening with force sufficient to
run a good sized power plant. The
volume is so great now that the waves
are rather small and a boat rides
through smoothly. When the stream
falls, however, the rooks at the bot
tom of the boat-way will cause waves
of sufficient height to make shooting
through the place a rather venture
some sport.
Trout fishermen who have been out
the last few days say that the fish
have become very gay, probably be
cause the warm days have bred in
numerable bugs and Insects that fur
nish luncheons for the trout. The
heat of the sun is said to have caused
a great awakening of all kinds of life
along the streams and there should
be some fine catches of fish reported.
Some of the stories told by people
who have been traveling the last few
days are amusing. In some trains
there was hardly a man who was not
sitting in shirt sleeves and many had
their collars off. People on through
trains from New York State were hunt
ing places to buy light underwear when
they struck this city. One of the odd
stories is told by a man from down
South, who declared that it was not as
hot in Savannah last week as it was
here yesterday.

A. B. HEPS
Representative A. B. Hess, of Lan
caster. is being given congratulations
by the members of the House on his
victory on the bill to consolidate the
two penitentiaries. This has been
one of the matters into which the Lan
caster member has thrown himself
with the usual ardor and he made a
couple of leal speeches last night.
Mr. Hess became interested In the
new penitentiary last session and took
charge of legislation for it. He also]
sponsored the electrocution bill last
session and this year visited the new
institution which is rising at the Cen
ter county site and for which about a
quarter of a million will be appropri
ated this year.
During the debate on the bill Mr.
Hess showed the results of his visits
to the place and his study of the gen
eral situation and what the consolida
tion will mean in years to come.
Warden John Francies, of the
western institution, was in the hall
during the debate.
—Three local hills appeared last

night.
—Chester P. Ray, executive officer
of the Panama-Pacific Exposition
commission, was at the Capitol last
night.
—The House had fewer visitors last
night than at any time during the
whole list of Monday night meetings.
I The interest is all over in the Senate
now.
—Representative McKay, of Craw
ford, was called home by death in his
family.
■—Petitions for the Molly Pitcher
monument are being presented to the
House in bales. There is much inter

—George W. Allen, former mem
ber, said last night that he regretted
missing so many chances to make a
speech. He was one of the big talkers
last session.
—Representative R. J. Baldwin
missed last night's session. It was his
first absence on Monday night in a
long time.
—The House pages last night issued
a formal challenge on yellow paper
to the Senate pages to engage in a
game of baseball. The challenge is
for the championship of the legislature
and if it can be arranged will be
played Saturday at the island. It will
start at 10 o'clock in the morning so
as to be ended by nightfall. Repre
sentative Don Gingery may be invited
to umpire.
—"With a majority of a quarter of
a million at the elections last Fall,
Pennsylvania's stalwart Republican
ism was an inspiration for Republi
cans throughout the country. Next
year the Republican party will elect
its national ticket by a smashing ma
jority and restore Republican control
in House and Senate. From what I
have learned since coming to Pitts
burgh X am sure that Western Penn
sylvania will do its share in the per
formance of this patriotic duty." This
forecast by Senator Boies Penrose of
what the voters will do to the Demo
cratic party in the coming national
campaign was wildly cheered by a
large gathering of leading business
men and active Republicans at the
American club at Pittsburgh yester
day.
—Senator Penrose has made planß
to visit a number of counties during
the next few months. It is believed
that he purposes to keep In close
touch with party leaders throughout
the State with a view particularly to
ascertaining sentiment as to whom the
State will support for the Republican
nomination for President next year
and as to what the State organization
will do in the matter of the election of
a successor to Senator Oliver. "It is
too early to discuss presidential possi
bilities.'' Senator Penrose said last
night. "It's much too early to say who
will be the probable nominee, though
the Republican party has plenty of
available men in Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts; ex-Secretary Knox,
Representative Mann, the House floor
leader; Senator Burton, of Ohio; Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, of our own State;
Governor Whitman, or New York, and
others. I don't think there will be a
definite line on that situation until
after the November election this year."
observed the Senator when asked
about the probable Republican nomi
nee to succeed Senator Oliver. "Of
course, " ne added, "the western end
of the State is entitled to the place,
and I don't believe there will bo a
serious disposition to question that
right to representation."

HOW CROOKED ARE YOU ?
We read the command to love our
enemies, to forgive those who wrong
us, to refrain from resisting evil, and
to go the second mile with him who
compels us to go with him the first
mile. It seems a hard saying. The
Sermon on the Mount and making a
living do not seem to match. The
problem was expressed recently by a
young lawyer- who wanted to be a
Christian in his profession but found
the tide of business affairs in his com
munity running strongly against the
gospel of the Golden Rule. He asked,
"How crooked can a man be and still
be straight?"
At first sight the world seems to be
organized on a fighting rather than on
a peace basis. But Christ enunciated
a higher law, a spiritual law, more
potent than the law of physical force
and human enmity, a law depending
upon the spiritual weapons of forgive
ness and goodwill even toward our
enemies. It was the most daring and
revolutionary experiment 6f the Chris
tian scheme. Moreover, it worked:
and it is the only law that really suc
ceeds in the end. John G. Paton tried
it in the South Seas when he went
single-handed and unarmed among
the wild tribes, catching their spears
in his unprotected hands. He lived
to see the chief of the wild tribes in
Christ's school. Every time a Chris
tian has returned good for evil, re
fraining from taking all his "rights.'
he has gone "the second mile" with
his enemy, and this highest law of
spiritual conquest has been vindicated.

HONEY AND WINE
OF THE HOLY LAND
It has been rightly said that the
great charm of the Holy Land is it%
antiquity. To this might be added
its infinite variety, for every town and
hamlet has a charm of its own—some
thing that singles it out for special
notice and attention and makes it
different from its neighbors. For in
stance, Jaffa, the gateway of the Holy
Land, is famed the world ov.er for its
delicious oranges, and. incidentally.
IS YOUR DAUGHTER PALE?
Does she inherit a delicate organ
ization from you? The anemia of
young girls may be inherited or it may
be caused by bad air, lack of proper
food, insufficient out-of-door exercise,
hasty and irregular eating and not
enough rest and sleep.
It comes on gradually, beginning
with languor, indisposition to mental
or bodily exertion, irritability and a
feeling of fatigue Later comes palpi
tation of the heart and headache. In
a majority of cases constipation is
present. Often the patient craves un
usual things to eat, such as starch or
chalk. There may be no loss of flesh,
but the complexion takes on a green
ish-yellow pallor.
There is no need to Torry in a case
of this kind. The treatment is easy
and simple. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
nonalcoholic and free from any harm
ful drug, are Just the tonic to remedy
this condition. Improvement begins
with the first dose. As the blood is
made rich and red the peculiar pallor
leaves the face strength and activity
gradually return and if the treatment
is continued until the last symptom
disappears the danger of relapse Is
slight.
A booklet, "Building Up the Blood,"
which tells ail about this treatment,
will be sent free on request by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady.
