There is love that stirs the heart, and love that gives it rest ; But the love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best. —Henry van Dyke. THE TEACHERS IN TOWN DESPITE the ravages of Infantile paralysis and rumors that be cause so much time was lost in the early Fall by reason of the quarantine for that disease there would be no "institute" this year, the school teachers of Dauphin county are in town to-day for their annual ses sions. "Institute" might well bo called institution it} Pennsylvania, for that Is what it has become. Take away the annual week of "institute" and you would rob the teaching profession §t one of Its dear est perquisities, for the week in town with pay is one of the bright spots of the year for the rural teacher. There he or she—mostly she finds both intellectual stimulus and social en joyment. The girl with her . first month's pay in her purse does her Fall and winter shopping during moments between lectures and even the giddiness of an evening at the theater is far from unknown among the more frivolous minded. And what an opportunity is offered to renew old acquaintances and to indulge in a little "sparking" on the side! Nobody but Cupid himself knows how many weddings have had their inception during "institute" weeks. Harrisburg is always happy to entertain the men and women who constitute the teaching corps of the county public schools. They are a fine body. They have high ideals and they are performing one of the most Important services on the long roll of human occupations. What excuse, we wonder, will Penn sylvania Democrats And to ask for Fed eral pap? LTETTEXAXT THOMAS THE Telegraph Family is proud of First Lieutenant Charles W. Thomas, whose career at the border has been one of the bright spots In recent Harrisburg military history. Lieutenant Thomas enlisted In Com pany I, Eighth Regiment, as a private on the eve of the company's departure for the border. He had been a mem ber of the National Guard for years, but had resigned a few months pre vious. He left a responsible position In the composing room of the Tele graph to go to the front. He had scarcely donned his uniform before a vacancy occurred in the ranks of the noncommissioned officers and Captain Zeigler, now major, promoted Thomas to be first sergeant. Tills post he held until the transfer of Lieutenant Chambers to a machine gun company made another vacancy in Company I and Sergeant Thomas was made sec ond lieutenant by unanimous choice of the company. On Saturday he was made first lieutenant of his company, following the promotion of Captain Zeigler to be major of the Eighth Regiment, another deserving promo tion coming as the result of years of training in the Guard, The Telegraph always rejoices when a Harrisburg boy makes good, and doubly so when he is a member of the Telegraph Family, The Steelton football team appears to have imbibed some of the Schwab Kinger. BY POPULAR VOTE THE possibility of tho loss of one electoral vote by President Wil son In Washington and another by Mr. Hughes in West Virginia, one by death and the other by resignation, both occurring so late that the va cancies could not bo filled before November 7, demonstrates what a weak staff the electoral college is. As It happens the electoral vote will not be changed in favor of one or another, because tho losses were equally di vided, but in a close election it might easily have happened that the verdict of the people would have been over turned and a President chosen by an electoral college that would have been a reversal of the popular vote In the Btate which happened to be the de ciding factor. At' all events, the electoral college has long since outlived the intent for fvMch it was created. To-day it is MONDAY EVENING, merely the instrument by which par ties record their wishes. It has no useful purpose and in the cases of Washington and West Virginia it will serve this year merely to subvert to a small degree the wishes of a ma jority of the electors. The election of a President should be by the people of the United States, not by the people of any number of States. The time has come —if it has not been here long since—that Presi dents should be elected by the popu lar vote of all the States combined. Such a change In the manner of elec tions not only would more fairly register the will of the people, but it would do much toward breaking down sectional differences and pre judices that make for anything but good government. If the price of turkey keeps on goiug up it will be not long before it will be as cheap as tenderloin steak. SHORT SHOPPING SEASON DO you realize, Mr. and Mrs. Christmas Shopper, that there will be very little "early shop ping" this year? Between now and Christmas Day thero are but six weeks—to be exact, just thirty-five shopping days. Election falling nearly a week later than usual and Thanksgiving falling on the last day of November, Instead of nearly a week earlier, have had the effect of shortening the season usually given over to preparation for the Great Holiday. Thero Is more money In Harrisburg for shopping purposes now than for many years back. Everybody who wants work Is at work and good wages prevail. Prices aro high, It Is true, but business men keen to at tract the shopping trade to their stores have bought their Christmas supplies Kith that fact in view and have laid in great quantities of all manner of attractive wares at "prices suitable for even the most humble I-urse. Knowing that money would be plentiful, Harrisburg merchants have bought as never before. They have on hand the greatest quantity and the widest variety of Christmas goods and staples in the history of the city. The season is shorter than ever be fore, the demand will be greater and the crowds that throng the stores at Christmastime this year will be big ger. The moral of this is that if you are going to Do Your Shopping Early, you must begin at once. Mr. Mann and Mr. Clark are wonder ing which is going to be minority leader of the House, with the .result in doubt. '.V ANT UKMI'F. NOT REPORTS THE Telegraph is in receipt of the following letter: I notice in your paper of Thurs day a demand that the Govern ment do something toward reliev ir><r the people of the higrh price evil that is now destroying our pros perity. Do you not know that the Government is at this moment in vestigating the prices of coal and some other commodities? Can't you be fair? To be sure, the Telegraph knows of tills. The so-called coal probe has been going right along for the past two months—and coal is higher In price than ever. What the people want is not a voluminous report to Congress, submitted next summer, but relief right now, at the season when the furnace begins to work overtime and the fuel problem Is most serious. Action, not words, is the demand; re lief, not reports. Everybody knows coal is too high in price. No investi gation of that is necessary. The same applies to foodstuffs. l?rA!ir T XG TRADE BALANCES WHATEVER view politicians may have taken regarding the effect of tho European war upon the revival of American industry and the restoration of our export trade, large business men of the coun try are not permitting themselves to be deceived. Their future financial safety depends upon their correctly analyzing the business situation. While they had their preferences during the recent campaign as to candidates for the Presidency, yet those preferences did not cause them to blind themselves to actual economic conditions. President Wilson and tho members of his Cabinet and his political cam paign managers repeatedly made the assertion that our revival of industry was not based upon trado growing out of the war. They maintained an ab solute silence regarding tho fact that we had a favorable trade balance at the time tho Underwood tariff law was passed, that the balance steadily di minished under the Democratic tariff law until it was actually against us, and that it did not again turn in our favor until a month after the outbreak of the war. President Wilson was willing, for political advantages, to let the people of the country believe that we are now enjoying a trade balance of $351,000,000 in a month not due to war orders. But, as remarked before, the large business men of the country labor un der no delusion of that kind. On November 3, in Chicago, the leading bankers of the country held a meeting to devise a means of checking the flood of gold that has been llowing into this country until it has become a menace to our financial structure. They recognize the well-known fact that one dollar of gold furnishes the basis for many dollars of credit and that the inflow of gold has been due entirely to our abnormal exports of commodities needed by the nations at war. Naturally, each man who has goods in considerable quantities to sell for export desires to receive in payment HAKfUSBtTRG TELEGRAPH When a Feller Needs a Friend ....

Large shippers have, therefore, de sired gold instead of securities; but every time gold was shipped to this country it furnished a basis for a larger quantity of credit business and brought on an inflation of values and an advance In prices. Democratic politicians call this prosperity. To the substantial busi ness man who realizes that there must some day be a contraction, it has be come a menace of such proportions as to bring together in Chicago the lead ing bankers of the United States. f **- :K —. 'a.;i-i^nrr'w.— II "POETIC* U I^e-KKOi^cuua By the Ex-Coromlttecnuui Officiate of the Department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth to day announced that they had received the first official returns from counties and tabulation was immediately start ed. It is expected that the whole State will bo completed within three weeks. The counties filing returns in official form were Adams, Cameron, Fulton, Juniata, Monroe, Montour, Snyder, Sullivan and Wyoming. The votes of the National Guards men except the First Artillery have been received at the department and will be used for comparison with offl-' cial returns from counties where there are soldier votes. Meanwhile they are being kept under lock and key. The time for filing expenso accounts for the election will expire on De cember 7. —Vance C. McCormick, the Democ cratlc national chairman, who arrived homo Saturday, resumed his private business to-day. He declared there was nothing to reports that he was likely to go into the Cabinet as suc cessor to Secretary of War Baker. Mr. McCormick has been invited to go to Atlanta to attend the big Democra tic celebration. —Philadelphia newspapers to-day revamp the stories circulated before the election to the effect that in tho event of the election of Wilson the Vare-Brumbaugh-Magee forces would unite in an attack to drive Senator Penrose from a dominating place In the State organization on the ground that he had failed In the election. The control of the Legislature is said to be tho preliminary test with the Gover norship In 1919 as the goal. Newspa pers unfriendly to the Republican party are giving much space to the possibilities of factional fighting. —A fresh outburst of "honorable mention" of men as candidates for gubernatorial honors in 1918 has oc curred. Somo of the men mentioned have been listed every time anyone has started to speculate In the last year and a half. —Tho election of Senator E. E. Bel dleman, of Dauphin county, as presi dent pro tem. analn being Bottled there Is nfl.w much talk about the speaker ship of the next House, which Is ex pected to be, If anything, more strong ly Republican than the last lower branch. Richard J. Baldwin, of Dela ware, who stinted out before the elec tion on a campaign. Is working hard and to offset him some have been trotted out, Including Thomas K. McNlchol, Eilwln R. Cox and Herman L. Hecht, Governor Brumbaugh and some of his friends are said to be favorable to George W. Williams, of Tioga, chairman of the law and order committee last session. The belief Is that tho speaker will not come from either Philadelphia or Al legheny. The Democratic candidate will not matter as there nre but thirty seven Democrats in the House list as l'ar as known. —Democratic {State headquarters hero will be maintained for a while. The wheels of the windmill did not trel hot this campaign as it was maintain ed as a mere annex by the Democratic Stato machine, the main headquarters being in Philadelphia, de spite the fact that this condition was considered to be a terrible offem,a by the reorganiz es before they got into power. The windmill bossi s having gotten Wilson but failed to give Pennsylvania will probably maintain the State heaqunr ters as a smoking room for some of the thirty-seven Democrats in the noxt Hous6. —These Democratic bosses, being confronted with many applicants and not enough places, are going to have a fine time preventing raids on post masters. In AUentown Postmaster Martin Klingler, of brass band and Wilson forever fame, is threatened with a fight by County Chairman Frederick. In several towns hungry Democrats are contending that be cause the President gets eight years is no reason why postmasters should have that tenure. —Joseph H. Waidellch, Lehigh's Democratic candidate for congress-at large, has a gubernatorial boom. He should be better Informed. That place has been wrapped up and ticketed al ready. —No statement has come from the Democratic windmill about the de cline of the Democratic strength In the next House. Last session the Democrats had forty-one. Next ses sion they will not have forty. —lncidentally there is a Republican member of the House from Lehigh and a Republican Senator from Le high and Luzerne Is Republican again, Wilkes-Barre people are hailing B. F. Williams as the new Republican leader in Luzerne since he piloted Congress man-elect T. W. Templeton to victory. —Auditor General-elect Snyder will be active in the Senate until the first Tuesday in May when he will become Auditor General. There are too many precedents for the Democrats to at tack. How It Seems in Texas They say that Villa is in hiding on the Hearst ranch.

Of tho inflnlto extending to the rim of things divine. Oh, the wonder and the thunder of tho wings that rend asunder The eternal veils of silence that are wrapped around tho stars! Oh, the monstrous echoes falling through the distances appalling, Where a host of nameless planets race their bright colostlal cars! Sing, ye wires and struts and braces! Let It ring across tho spaces. Jupltor alone no longer rules the stellar empire vast.

CLEVER LITTLE L GOLD PRIZE IN ft. MISS MARGARET KOSTER, Of Woodbine street, was awarded the second prize, a five-dollar gold piece, in the recent D. A. R. essay contest for Senior Central high school girls on "Children of the Am erican Revolution." Miss Koster's paper was so original and Interesting that the Telegraph has been asked to publish it. Boston, January 3, 1746. Dear Patience: Have you heard the good news? We are twenty now, for we have a little baby brother at our home. He was christened last Sunday, and it was so cold that Pastor Howell had to break the ice in the christening bowl. Little Expected has been very 111 since his christening, but our mother has given him a compound made from boiled snails. Madame Austin recommended it and she says it is very fine. O, my friend Patience, we had a happy country dance at friend Hopes last Friday eve. There were ten maidens there, and we had a good treat of nuts, raisins, cakes, wine, and punch. I was dressed in my yellow petticoat, black bib and apron, my pompedore shoes, the cap my aunt Storer sometime since presented me with, with the blue ribbons on it, a very handsome loket in the shape of a hart, the paste pin my Hon'd Papa presented me with in my cap, my new cloak and bonnet, and my pom pedore gloves, and I would tell you Farmers' Institutes [Pennsylvania Parmer] The farmers' institutes will begin in Pennsylvania next week. As usual, the State is divided into Ave sections. One speaker in each section will at tend all the meetings in that section, while the others will attend for a longer or shorter time, according to the needs of the different localities of the section. Wo would urge farm ers to take advantage of the oppor tunities which a farmers' institute af fords to get together for'mutual dis cussion of their common problems. We sometimes hear it said that the institutes have served their purpose and should be discontinued. This as sertion is usually based upon the as sumption that the same thing is said and done year after year at Institutes. If this were true there would be good reason for the claim, but the subject of agriculture is so broad and the need for Intelligent discussion so great that the last word will never be said, and institute speakers who are really capable endeavor to keep up with the times. Communities in which these institutes are to be held should make every effort to have the session well nttended, arid to bring out tho fullest discussion of the topics. A Healthy Sign [Philadelphia Uncord.] Figures compiled by tlie Interstate Commerce Commission show that dur ing the year ended June 30 only 718 miles of entirely new railroad were built in tlie United States, and some contemporaries are inclined to be con cerned over this showing, which is the lowest total for over fifty years. Our | trnde journal even er.lls the situation alarming, and says that "hostility to | ward railroads must cease, that capital ; may again lie Induced to lend its strong 'arm to their extension." J TIIIM seems a mistaken point of view. New railroads are not being built so i extensively as thirty or forty years ago, j for the very good reason that they are | not urgently needed. Many of the exist ing companies are making more money now than ever before, and if their managers thought that new feeders were required there would not be the faintest trouble in financing them. Good railroad securities find a ready sale, and the alleged hostility to rail way corporations is very largely my thical. A gtnnce at a railroad map will Rhow that 111 this form of enterprise Amer ica leads the world. They gridiron the whole country, and have long been the most Important agency In the develop ment of tho United States, A Certainty There Is noth ng certain In the world, except thav when you start In saving money for one thing you are golnt- to spend It for something else. — Port Worth Star.

Did I tell you that WaitstiU has been going to school in Boston? I wish very much that I could go, but my Hon'd Papa does not approve of much learning for woe man. By the reports received by my Hon'd Papa, Wattstill must be a very bad boy. His master has given him two severe trouncings and every day "Whispering Sticks" have had to be tied in his mouth. Our mother and Hon'd Papa took my twelve sisters and six of my brothers and myself to widow Dud ley's funeral last week. I saw all my friends there and we all had lovely time. I wish there would be a fun eral each weeke. It seems to me that I have very bad brothers. Last Sundaye at meet ing my three younger brothers, Re form, Experience and Temperance, were hit upon the head by the tith ingf-man. They were acting very bad ly and therefore they were punished Also my Hon'd Papa had his face tickled with the fox-tail, for he had fell asleepe in meeting. My poor Patience, I am sorry to hear that your brothers, Endurance and Prisemus, have been so ill since they fell in the pond while they were "seating." I presume the ice was too thin.

But sobs will mark the Journey Of this down-hearted horde— Hark, now I hear the boat called: "Salt lUver, All Aboard!" Batting (Etjat Dismantling of the parts of the plant of the Chesapeake Nail Works, which has been going on this Fall, calls to mind that this is the second of the famous iron manufacturing establishments in the South Harris burg district to pass Into the hßnds of the scrap iron dealer. Of the Lochiel Koiling mills only some stone pillars end heaps of rubble remain. Parts of the historic nail works are disappear ing. Paxton Furnaces and Lochiel furnace, the only remaining furnaces in the city, are idle in the midst o&| a period when everything that caw smelt or fabricate iron or steel is in demand and the chances aro that they will go the same way before long that the Central Iron and Steel com pany's plant and the Klllott-Fisher company's big works will be all that will be left in u district which was once one of the most important sec tions in tho premier iron State of the Union. In years gone by there were half a dozen blast furnaces in this city and several rolling mills. .Porter fur nace at State street and the old Penn sylvania canal, "Wister furnace along the canal below Mulberry street and an older furnace located near the Paxton plant, with the three now remaining. Harrisburg's prominence in iron making was dimmed by tho smoke from Steelton, although the development of the Central, Harris burg Pipe and Pipe Bending, Lalance and Grosjean and—other works more than counterbalanced the loss o£ the old establishments. • • • Tho Chesapeake Nail works was fop a long time one of the chief industries of Harrisburg and there are many families in this city whose fathers, brothers and sons worked in the mills or the nail factory. Its whistles used to wake up South Harrisburg and the 400 men who worked in the plant were a considerable element down town. The Chesapeake works was es tablished, and what is more, main tained in the face of disasters by the late Charles L,. Bailey. The works was built In 1866-7 and soon be came famous for its cut nails while it had a wide demand for bar Iron. In 1878 and 1882 explosions and fires caused great damage, but each time the works was rebuilt on a larger scale. The Chesapeake nails were so well known that they were able lo hold their business in the face of the competition from the wire nails, which really began soon after the plant was built. Harrisburg nails were shipped to Cuba, Brazil and even to China and went all over tho country. For years tho products of its 103 clattering, busy machines en joyed a high repute. The works has been operated very irregularly in tho last half dozen years. The Lochlel plant of the Harris burg Rolling Mill is said to have been the first rolling mill built in Harris burg if not in the country. It was built in 1865, the idea of the men who built it being to roll rails, which were then a subject of thought by American investors and iron men and which a few years later were develop ed. The works underwent many changes .and the usual chapter of ac cidents. It was abandoned some years ngo and the plant sold. Robert C. Neal, a member of a noted iron fam ily of the upper Susquehanna valley, was the last owner, having operated it for over a quarter of a century. In its day Lochiel had a fine trade and some of its bars were sold in England. It was the central point of quite a settlement of iron workers and the last company store in Harrisburg was operated there. "I see a good bit of attention 1? being given to some reports of "dol lar eggs." I do not thing that is so unusual," remarked a man who fol lows the food markets. "You can al ways get people who have a lot of money and do not thoroughly under stand how hard it Is to get it to pay fancy prices. I have hoard of soma men in Philadelphia who pay sev enty-five cents for eggs strictly fresh and rushed to their houses from poultry yards, and fancy eggs, laid by pedigreed fowls, always command a high price. Then, too. if some of the people who have been indulging fads for poultry will sit down and figure it out they will probably find that they have been paying around a dollar a dozen for eggs. What is worrying men more is that ordinary eggs are round half a dollar a dozen."
