THE SCHWAB DINNER r Harrlsburg made half the favor ible Impression upon Mr. Schwab that Mr. Schwab made on Harrls burg, there Is no question as to future friendly relations. When Mr. Schwab had concluded the delightful, instructive and enter taining address at the dinner tendered him and his associates by the Chamber of Commerce last evening those who had heard him then for the first time no longer wondered at his phenomenal career, no longer were puzzled as to ■why he has become, at a comparatively early age, the foremost figure of the steel industry ln_all the world. After hearing him speak it is safe to say that there was not a man in the large audi ence who either envied him his success or would withhold from him In the slightest degree the heartiest co operation of this community toward the success of tha great Schwab enter prise at Steelton. Most of those who went out from the dinner last evening did so feeling that Harrisburg is fortunate Indeed to he linked up In this Intimate way with the name of Schwab, his tremendous accomplishments, his well-laid plans end his wonderful dream for the future greatness of the eastern part of the United States and the country at laj-ge—a dream to be realized through the hard work of men whose wealth ■would permit them at this moment to forsake for all time the workshop for the halls of leisure. Mr. Schwab is such a citizen as Har risburg would be happy to claim for her own. He is the personification of American manhood. He Is at once a dreamer and a doer. He works for the Joy of work and the elatioft of the task well done. Financial reward to him Is secondary to accomplishment. Profit Is but the symbol of success and the tool by which greater deeds may be wrought And yet, busy man that he Is with his own affairs, he finds time to think of others—to urge those associated with him to think of the community and the country in which they reside; to participate in Its activities and work for Its welfare; to reward those who do hard work and do It well, to be good citizens in the best that the name Implies. Harrisburg is Indebted to Mr. Schwab not alono for his promises of enlarge ments at Steelton and his pledge of co-operation with the local authorities for the upbuilding of Steelton and Harrisburg, but for the example he set us last night in good citizenship at a time when we as a city are about to quicken our pace and go forward to the task of building a bigger, better town upon the foundations so well laid. Whatever is to be dons In the matter of tree planting this autumn should be arranged for now. Hundreds of citi zens realize that they should plant shade trees about their premises ana trim and protect trees already grow ing. We should have had a shade tree commission long ago, but so long as we are without such a commission it falls upon property owners themselves to attend to this Important matter. It It had not been for the last generation we should be without shade trees now. It is our duty In this generation to pro vide for those who come after ua. CITY AND COUNTY BUILDING PRESIDENT JUDGE KUNKEL having declared that the court house has outlived its useful ness, It Is proper that the Board of County Commissioners take up for se rious consideration the erection of a new building or the remodeling of the present antiquated structure. There Is no doubt that the present design of the facade Is dignified and attractive. It might be possible to reconstruct the building in such a way as to provide ample quarters for the city and county and still retain the Imposing front of tho present structure. In any case It is time that tho subject bo given careful and full consideration to the end that what ever Is to be done may be done with out further delay. Of course, the Ideal arrangement would be a Joint city and county building, which would have under the Bame roof all officials. Too long the taxpayers and all having business with those in authority have been put to great inconvenience In tho transac tion of official matters. Inasmuch as the taxpayers of the city are also the taxpayers of the county, there Is no reason why econ omy should not be exercised in pro viding official headquarters which would house the various officials and TUESDAY EVENING, - HJLRRTSSBURG *£§§& TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 3, 1916. bodies of both the city and the county. Undoubtedly, a way can be found if an effort is put forth in the right way. "Dried fruits to be higher."—News paper headline. Hurrah, now maybe they will stop making dried apple pies. ARE YOU GOING ALONG? A HUNDRED of the progressive citizens of Harrlsburg have pledged their personal services this week to establish the Chamber of Commerce on a broad and compre hensive basis. Committees of three will call upon other citizens who are to be invited to become a part of the now and larger-organization. Much of good has already been ac complished by Uiis central organiza tion of business, professional and In dustrial leaders, but the surface scarcely has been scratched. The ac tivities of the committeemen should result in untold benefit to the city at large. Harrlsburg has taken Its place In the forefront of American municipalities and whatever of*reaction is occasion ally observable Is the result of some Indifference here and there, which readily can be overcome through the direct activities of the various organi zations devoted to tho development and Improvement of the city. Every live wire of Harrlsburg should be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Not to be a member is to indicate more or less Indifference to the future of the community. We can conceive of no more useful service than the standing together of citizens for the betterment of the entire city. Under the plans proposed the Chamber of Commerce will be equip ped to deal with every phase of Indus trial activity and to promote tho in dustrial, commercial and social con ditions of the city. As indicated by the program outlined the plan con templates a businesslike situation which will compare favorably with the most efficient business corpora tion on the principle that whatever Is worth doing is worth doing well. This program contemplates that tho activities of the organization shall bo as wide in scope as the activities of the community itself. The hundred men who are giving two hours of their time each morn ing for four mornings this week in or der that Harrisburg may have a Chamber of Commerce worthy the capital city of the State; a Chamber of Commerce equipped In membership, finances and program to carry out for Harrisburg desirable things, both great and small, are an example for the rest of us. The plan of the directors is practi cal, systematic, businesslike and de serves the strong support of all Har risburg people. It i 3 a plan which Is democratio and representative, a plan which provides opportunity for the biggest and the smallest Individual to do his share toward making this com munity greater and better and more enduring. It is a plan in which every resident Is vitally interested, for what is good for the community is good for the Individual. The first two hours' work of the committeemen this morning showed that Harrisburg people sense the op portunity pre&ented and are deter mined to back this movement to the extent of their ability. In behalf of the Greater Chamber of Commerce, in behalf of a Greater Harrisburg, we take this means to urge all individuals and interests of the city to give heed to the call of the committeemen and to do that thing which the committee men ask—become active supporters of the Chamber of Commerce. Harrisburg Is on its way to a still larger and more prosperous growth. What are you going to do to help in this development? Surely It is not your plan to tag along at the end of the procession, when you should be up front helping in the work. HARRISBURG AND STEELTON MR. SCHWAB and his associates were more than pleased with what they saw of Harrisburg during their brief stay here. During their short run about the city under the direction of the Chamber of Com merce committee the visitors were given an opportunity to observe for themselves a little of what has been accomplished in this city during the past few years. Mr. Schwab will undoubtedly do whatever may be necessary to keep Steelton in step with its progressive neighbor. Already plans are said to be under consideration for improve ment of housing and other conditions at Steelton and his great genius for doing the right thing at the right time will undoubtedly impel the steel king to place Steelton well to the front as an Industrial community.

Where Is the Progressive who was doubtful as to whether the Colonel really is favorable to Hughes? By the Ex-Committeeman Return of Governor Brumbaugh from Scranton, where he spoke last night at the semicentennial, was be ing nwaited with some apprehension on Capitol Hill to-day because of re ports that the romoval of Dr. James M. Esler, the chief of distribution of documents, was only the beginning of "house-cleaning." The Capitol has gotten used to the idea that there will be changes. It is the fortune of war and the speculation is chiefly as to who will be next. In some administration quarters it is gossip that about 120 persons con nected with the State government will be changed between now and the assembling of the next Legislature. Some of these people have been on the Hill for years and their removal, while designed to make trouble for leaders not in sympathy with the ad ministration, would really be a relief because some of them have lost touch with their districts. The Governor has been keeping his counsel about the major api>oa. .. ■. > and it is predicted that he will have some sudden announcements as he did in the case of the highway commis sionershlp and also cause some heart burnings. —Gubernatorial talk continues to be the big thing at the Capitol be cause there are signs that it is being helped along by men who are anxious to retain their places after 1918's election and that they are Industrious ly making somo try-outs. Some of those put into the limelight are now said to be liking it and to be start ing to build fences. Others are wait ing to see the outcome of the meet ing of the State committee on Mon day. —Up to date there have not been many signs of a getting together of opposing factions in advance of tho Legislature, but such things are often accomplished over night and there is always a possibility of forces which may control a Legislature making a protocol with the administrative end and agreoing that no bricks shall bo thrown and no territory invaded. —One result of the Governor's tours has been considerable inquiry as to what Dr. Brumbaugh meant by his frequently reiterated declaration that it was his hope that the people would elect the "right sort of men" to the offices and that he would not like to see "mean, low, petty men" about Harrlsburg any more than he would tolerate sinister, sordid influ ences. The Governor last year de clared that he would go out on the stump and go after every man who did not ring true on local option and other things to which he was com mitted and there is some fear throughout the State that he may fol low up his swings around the farm ing districts by some speech-making against men who were not aligned <vith him last year on this. —Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, is planning to assume the responsibility for that city's finances himself and is arranging to go over all of the details and to keep in close touch.

Porter, guiding spirit in the local Hughes Alliance, returned yes terday after a conference in New York with Republican National Chair man Wlllcox and President W. Cam eron Forbes, of the National Hughes Alliance. He was full of bright dreams regarding the coming election, says the national committeemen are Jubilant over the progress of the cam paign, but are centralizing their ef forts on New York, Illinois. Ohio and New Jersey. This is practically ad mitting that thoses States are doubt ful, but the optimistic Porter says the party managers now believe that sentiment has slowly increased in favor of the Republican candidate." 1 EDITORIAL COMMENT ] The Democratic slogan "Do it tot Wilson" is singularly like the Republi can slogan, the only difference being the substitution of "to" for "for."

IN the left-hand corner of Ward IV there is a bed which has a little window beside It looking over the big beech tree; it is a pleasant corner. Tor the last month there has lain in ihis bed a wizened little fellow from one of the border regiments. He is forty-nine and can never have been strong, for rheumatism has been play intr havoc with him for years, and now his heart is giving out as well as his joints, and he can only lie and watch the tree tops and think and laugh. Like so many Northcountrymcn, Thompson has a vivid tongue, which also serves to pass the time, a tongue which many years of fish and fruit hawking in a big Yorkshire town have polished to a keen edge. Is Dick, young and helpless with a shattered iung, intent upon being spruce? "Ah," savs Thompson, "lat um be, nurse; they young uns mun alluys be smaart lor ta yooung laadles. When wilt thou have ta day oot. Dick? I'm thinkin' they'll' lippen to thee, lad!" And Dick forgets the gnawing hole in his back and preens himself like a young drake. But one morning Dick shaved and scented himself unchal lenged ana by and by a thin gasp brought nurse to Thompson's bed; he lay there looking very gray and small; and pillows were taken away and all sorts of things were done to him be fore he could smile again. "Eh!" he said afterward, " 'tis ma haart; mony's the time it coom over me weak-like in thae trenches. I used to think as happen it were the cookin', for they maade me company cook, ye see, but I'm nobbut sure now that 'tis to be cookin' or none." Alas! there is no gainsaying this. Thompson tapped the newspaper which lay beside him. "Ma best chum," he said, "young Sam fra Not tingham; nobbut a lad he was—died o' wounds. The last neeht afore the at tack *e coom to mo. 'Tom,' 'e say, 'Toni, I'm coom to say good-by.' And A laughs at ta chap. 'Xothin' o' the soort,' A say, ' 'taint good-by, 'tis so long, Saam.' 'We goes over ta top to-morrer,' 'e says, 'and I've a great feelin' It's good-by, and I'd be main glad fur you to tell 'em at lioome, seein' .as we've been chums,' 'e say. And wl" that A laughs again, but it woren't any use. 'Doan't 'e laugh,' Saam says, 'fur I knows.' And here it in—died o' wounds. And A's never so mooch as their address at hoome, but A mun write, for him and me we was chums." Thompson's funny little face, Frank A. Vanderlip's Thought "Modern warfare is largely a matter of machinery, but more than ever be fore In history it is also a matter of human organization. I believe that the surest Insurance of peace this countrv can have Is the universal training of its men for military serv ice. I once thought you could count universal military service as an eco nomic wsjte. "I feel confident, in the light of the events of the last two years, that it is not only a military necessity of super lative importance, but that our na tional life would draw a unity, our democracy would receive a relnvig oration and our youth would obtain a physical training and comprehension of the value of obedience and a patri otic devotion to the welfare of the na tion. which could be obtained in no othei way." A Contrast in Robes [New York Sun.] "I aid doff the Judicial ermine and I submit to you that you know, and every American knows, that it fell from mv shoulders unsullied." Thus, with rigidly uncompromising dignity, Mr. Hughes places before the people of this country an incontrovertible fact that furnishes material for earnest re flection. When any man taking leave of a high and influential office can challenge successfully the verdict of the community upon the spotlcssncss of his record in office he Is in an en viable situation. Never, upon leaving an elective or an appointive office that he has held, has Charles Evan* Hughes found him self (subjected to criticism founded upon any substantial basis. • • • Between ermine that is unsullied and a presidential garment that needs cleansing there Is a wide difference. That the voters of this country grasp thi fact grows constantly more ap parent.

In deed, it did not seem easy to find Sam's home, for he had no clue but Notting ham and a very ordinary surname. But by and by, by the good luck which so often helps, a nurse came in who had friends in Nottingham, and she undertook the quest for Sam's mother. And now the address has come, and for the whole afternoon Thompson has been huy with pen and paper. It Is against the rules, of course, to allow ink, because it has such a curious way of getting Involved with the sheets, but this was to he no ordinary letter, and so Sister's inkpot was Just at dusk, when nurse was going r.way, Thompson beckoned. "Tha let ter," he whispered; "A'd like you to read en." It was written on two sheets of sermon paper, very carefully, rather large. "To the Dear Relatives and Friends of My Late Deceased Friend Sam. By one of His Dear Chums." There were grammatical mistakes in it and some spelling faults, too, but nurse stood rending It for a long time by the win dow, and when at last she had finished she put it down again rather quickly by Thompson and went away; it was not quite easy at the moment to an swer his contented "It were all right, nurse, weren't it?" This, with a few commas added, is what nurse read: Dear Friends—l have seen in the papers that your dear son Sam have died of wounds and being as I am his dere chum now this long while, 'im and me was always together, I takes up my pen to write you. And first dear relatives let me arst you not to be sure Sam be dead if it say so in the papers. There be many of them re ports and so never believe till you rarn't help. But if Sam Is dead and never to come home no more try dear friends as you don't greve too much. Sam died because he was tryln' to do what he could for you all and for Old England same as all of us, and what would happen if we didn't and the Germans come here don't arsk. He lust tried to do what our Lord did and die for all. And it do sav Greater Love hath no man than to die for friends. Well Sum done it and I do think he must a gone strait to our Lord in Heaven and must be happy and in a beautiful place now so try and be comforted. "Well I think this is all at present from Sam's friend. T. THOMPSON. "Not by might, and not by power— By My Spirit'.' saith the Lord. Most of Canada to Be "Dry" [Kansas City Star.] Next year all the Dominion of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, from the international boundary line clear up to the Arctic, with the single exception of the Province of Quebec, will be "dry as a bone." Pro hibition will be in force everywhere, and it will be enforced, too, for Ca nadians have a habit of enforcing their laws. The preat provinces of Ontario cnii British Columbia adopted pro hibition this summer. As to how It works in some of the territory already dry the police chief of Winnipeg Kays: "There is no drunk enness in Winnipeg: to-day. We used 1o have twenty to thirty drunks every day when saloons were open. Now we have none." J. N. -MarT,ean, chief license com missioner of Manitoba, says: "Crime in the Province of Manitoba has been reduced 58 per cent, since saloons were put out. In the three months of March, April and May last year we liad 831 convictions for drunkenness in Winnipeg. In the same three months this year we had only 161." Such a reduction of criminal costs is already showing in savings of money appropriated to run the courts and Jails and care for prisoners, and even tually it. will reduce taxes. As the saloon is the most wasteful institution on earth, so prohibition makes correspondingly for economy and saving.

Its ' contracts were made a couple of years ago and paper which is now sell' tng ir. the market at $8 is being bought by the State for a little ove* half that sum. This favorable condi* tlon, which has brought about a dition whereby paper people are trj^ l ing not to sell to the commonwealth i instead of trying to have it Increase its orders, Is the result of a contract placed two years ago by A.NevinPoma roy, the State superintendent of pub lic printing and binding. The officials have been endeavoring to hold down *l! e * nioun t of printing required by v? ® ta te government and when soma chiefs, whose printing was not content' plated when the appropriation was made, started to make inquiries they found that Pennsylvania was in a favorable condition as regards paper, but in bad shape for a printing fund. Al that was allowed for the State printing last year was $400,000 and of this had to come all of the child labor, workmen's compensa tion and State insurance fund print ing, none of which has been provided lor when the estimates were made. Orders have been given that all print must be held down as much as possible and there will be less this year than for a long time.
