FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 0 The more I study the world the more am I convinced of the inability of force to create anything durable — NAPOLEON. WHO WILL TAKE YATES' PLACE? WHO will take the place of John Yates, head of the As sociated Aid Societies, who resigned to-day to become executive secretary of the Associated Aid Socie ties of Pittsburgh? The question is an Important one to all Harrisburg, and especially to the unfortunates who come Into contact with the organization which he has so ably directed. John Tates is a man of extraordi- | nary ability, but more than that, he I has a sympathetic heart. He knows j his work and he loves it. He Is fond i of outdoor life and is fully aware of , its value to the growing boy or girl. His boys'- camp last year brought j many little invalids back to health ; and happiness. He knows the seamy ; side of life in the city from experi- i ence, and It has mellowed him and has given him an insight into the pos sibilities of organized charity from its human standpoint. He has given to the Associated Charities in Harris burg such an administration as It never had before. There was a time when this very I worthy organization did not bear any [ too good a name in the community. : and the fault did not lie so much with , those back of it as with the manage- ; ment in charge. It will be difficult to fill the place made vacant by Mr. j Yates' resignation witU a man as well ! fitted for the work as he, but every 1 effort should be made to keep the As- • soriated Aids up to the standard he { has set. That ash survey is going to be a big job—if ALL the ashes are to be sur- i veyed. UP TO PRESIDENT THE Senate, the House, the press and the people of the country have placed the stamp of their : approval on the President's "arme<i 1 neutrality" plan. Noted authorities on j national and international law have, told him that he is legally within his j rights in arming merchant vessels I against piratical submarines. If Con- J gress has not formally ratified the executive proposals, it has in effect by I the adoption of the cloture rule In j the Senate. Therefore it is now up to the President. If he does not proceed forthwith to permit American ships to' protect themselves the fault is purely his own. The country expects prompt and decisive action. Will it get it, or are we to have another period of "watchful waiting?" By the way, Mr. Gross, just what do we get in the way of equipment, as well as apparatus, for that $60,000? BOSS-RULED "CIVIL SERVICE" WHAT a miserable failure the President has made of his ef fort to take the post offices of the country out of politics. How subservient the White House is to the Democratic politicians of the country is shown by the news dispatches of the past few days from Washington. Such a mighty wail went up from Demo cratic representatives and senators over the announced intention to place postmasters of all classes under the civil service that it is virtually certain that the executive order, to become ef fective April 1, will be modified to care for the present Democratic appointees. Although it was the original inten tion of the President to provide that all future post office appointments should be made through competitive civil service examinations, the pres sure brought to bear by the little politicians is such that it is planned to modify the order, and instead of being a disadvantage the civil service plan will benefit the Democrats In Congress who desire to have their present postmasters reappointed. The new plan, which It is said in administration circles will be adopted, will provide that all future vacancies caused by death, removal or resigna tion shall be filled through competitive examinations, but the present holders of commissions will be reappointed If their "efficiency and good behavior" are not questioned. This is another form of expressing "If they are satis factory to the members of Congress." Should the President accept such a policy the present members of Con gress would be greatly benefited, as the "jobs" could not be promised by their opponents. If the original plan were carried Into effect it would strike at the very heart of the organiratlons of the Dem FRIDAY EVENING, V ' HARRISBIXFtO TELEGRAPH MARCH 9, 1917, s ocrats, to whom every postmaster It an ally. They realised that their post masters and other federal officehold ers were the chief contributors to the last campaign, and only recently these postmasters contributed in the "office to office" campaign of R. W. Wooley and W. R. Holllster. "Civil service" of the kind planned is a travesty on the term. Such an order as the Democratic political bosses are about to compel the dent to issue is worse than none. !<." means simply that a lot of Democratic gang favorites are to be kept in office for life. That may be good for the Democratic bosses, but if the present inefficiency of the postal system is anything to judge by it will not be good for the country. A RECEIVER OF TAXES THE Legislature could do nothing better for Harrisburg and Dau phin county than to pass the receiv ership of taxes bill which Senator Bei dleman will introduce for the second time next Monday night. This bill is entirely in the interest of good government. It would save the people of Harrisburg and the county at large thousands of dollars every year in commissions now paid to tax collectors and relieve the coun ty of a cumbersome and expensive system that appears to have been de signed purely to give as many small Jobs as possible to political lieuten ants whom district leaders desired to keep in good humor. If it ever had any excuse for existence that time has long since passed. When Senator Beidleman introduced the measure last session it was state wide in its effect and had the support of a large number of senators, who dropped It like a hot potato when they began to hear from the politi cians back home, who saw many small i jobs disappearing through its enact-1 ment and did not want to lose that i patronage. It got into committee and j never came out. With this knowledge, j the Dauphin county Senator has fram- j ed the measure so adroitly this time ' that much of the opposition will be defeated. The class of counties it takes in embraces only one or two oth ers outside of Dauphin. Therefore, the timid members of the Legislature who feared to trifle with appointments back home will have no excuse to vote against It this time. To be sure. Senator Beidleman is the acknowledged leader of the Re publican organization in this county and, therefore, might be expected to take the same view of the receivership of taxes measures that some of the other Senators who helped smother it last session did. But the Senator believes that successful leadership can be maintained only through the in strumentality of good government and he is convinced that the abolition of the tax collector system will work for ' the best interests of the people as a whole. Therefore, he is against the present method, although its aboli j tion will cut down the number of po j litical jobs in Dauphin county, and he has come out In favor of the receiver ship bill. This is in full accord with Senator Beldleman's course In other matters of the kind. The home rule for cities resolution Is an example of the type of legislation for which he has stood sponsor. Dauphin county has been | well and economically governed since 1 Senator Beidleman's rise to influence in the counsels of the Republican par ty In this senatorial district. There has not been a single complaint of extravagance or Incompetency In county affairs since the memorable campaign of 1912, save with respect to the frightful state of affairs at the county almshouse revealed when the present poor board went into office, and for those conditions the ousted Democratic directors were entirely re sponsible. Men above reproach have been elected, who have conducted the offices of the county on a high plane of efficiency, with no dictation from the outside. It is this kind of leadership that Is typified in the present Republican or ganization In Dauphin county, '.'he receivership of taxes bill is designed to further improve administration of county afTairs. It is in line with what has cone before. It should be passed.

I will go back to my home, with the ( clouds and the stars above. And the heaven I used to know, and j the God of my buried youth. I will go back to the home where of old in my boyish pride 1 pierced my father's heart with a murmur of unbelief; He only looked in my face as X spoke, , but his mute eyes cried Night after night in my dreams; and he died in grief, in grief. Oh, yes; I have read the books, the > books that we write ourselves, j Extolling our love of an abstract truth and our pride of debate: ; I will go back to the love of the cotter who sings as he delves. To that childish infinite love and the God above fact and date. To that ignorant infinite God who col- I ors the meaningless flowers, I To that lawless infinite Poet who matches the law with the crime; To the weaver who covers the world with a garment of wonderful hours. And holds in His hands like threads the tales and the truths of time. Is the faith of the cotter so simple and narrow as this? Ah. well. It is hardly so narrow as yours who daub and plaster with dyes The shining mirrors of heaven, the shadowy mirrors of hell. And blot out the dark deep vision, if (t seemed to be framed with lies. No faith I hurl against you, no fact to ! freeze your sneers; Only the doubt you taught me to weld in the fires of youth Leaps to my hand like the flaming sword of nineteen hundred years, The sword of the high God's answer, 0 Pilate, what is truth? Your laughter has killed more hearts than ever were pierced with swords. Ever you daub new mirrors and turn the olil to the wall; And more than blood is lost in the weary battle of words; For creeds are many; but God is One. and contains them all. Ah, why should we strive or cry? Surely the end is close! Hold by your little truths: deem your triumph complete! But nothine is true or false in the in finite heart of the rose; And the earth is a little dust that clings to our traveling feet. I will go back to my home and look at the wayside flowers. And hear from the wayside cabins the sweet old hymns again. Where Christ holds out His arms In the quiet evening hours. And the light of the chapel porches broods on the peaceful lane. And there I shall hear men praying the deep old foolish prayers, And there I shall see, once more, the fond old faith confessed. And the strange old light on their faces who hear as a blind man hears— Come unto Me, ye weary, and I will give you rest. I will go back and believe In the deep old foolish tales. And prav the sweet old prayers that 1 learned at my mother's knee. Where the Sabbath tolls its peace thro' the breathless mountain-vales. And the sunset's evening hymn hal lows the listentng sea.

"Safety First" in London Nursery Rhymes to Impress Children Are Used In a- Campaign Newspaper advertisements address ed to children in the form of "nurs ery rhymes for present times," is the latest development in the "safety first'" campaign. Most of the rhymes are adaptations of old favorites. The first of the series runs: Little Jack Horner Stood on a corner. Watching the traffic go by; And when he had passed. He crossed over at last, And said, "What a good boy am I." But all boys are not good. For in stance: There was a little boy. And he had a roller skate; He flew along the highway, Traveling in state. He spied a motor bus, And thought he'd hang behind. The rest of the story will easily be guessed. The "Appeal of the London Bells" say that: The streets are not for games! say the bells of St. James; Nor for foolish larking! clang All Hallows barking, Safety first for all! ring Allhallows-on the-Wall; And be sure you understand! peal St. Mary-in-the-Strand; So repeat this rhyme again! says the booming of Big Ben. —From London Chronicle. Ov 'PeKKOiitcanXa By the Ex-Commltteeman One of the surprises of the day in j State affairs was the announcement j from the State Suffrage headquarters i to-day that Senator E. H. Vare would j have charge of the suffrage amend- j ment in the Senate. It begins to look I as though suffrage and factional poli- I tics have been getting mixed up. The announcement on the subject I says: "Senator Vare has been a constant j friend of the suffragists since their I amendment was first introduced in | the 1913 Legislature. It will be re called that the sponsor for the suf- I frage amendment in the House is I Representative Samuel A. Whitaker, of Chester county, a Penrose lieuten- j ant. This, the suffragists point out, ! gives them leaders in both factions in j the Legislature, and in addition, they ] announce that Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh has made a strong pledge 1 to do all in his power to have his en- ; tire strength in both House and Sen- j ate thrown in favor of the suffrage I amendment. Upon the other hand, 1 the suffragists declare that in addi- ! tion to his promise last fall, they have ! secured from Senator Boise Penrose I a reiteration that he will support the ] measure to his full strength through his friends in the Legislature." —Expressions of regret at the death of George W. Guthrie, former Demo cratic state chairman and Mayor of Pittsburgh, who died yesterday, in Tokio, were general all over the State last night. Prominent Democrats made statements and men in all parties told of their sorrow at his death. —Philadelphia charter revisionists are planning to come here in force to get some action by the Legislature on pending bills. —Col. Harry C. Trexler. of Allen town. will give a dinner to the sur vivors of the First Defenders and prominent residents of his city this I week. —The movement for impeachment of Mayor Armstrong has broken out again in Pittsburgh. Charges are ! made that politics is behind the whole I proposition. It is now claimed that , use of names of prominent men in the manifesto were unauthorized. Old Die First, T. R. Says Franklin, Pa. —Colonel ltoosevelt believes, with a Franklin editor, that the old men should be first to answer the call to arms. Recently W. P. F. Ferguson wrote an editorial In the Venango Daily Herald under the cap tion "Let the Old Die First." He sent a copy of the editorial to Colonel Roosevelt and received the following reply: "My Dear Ferguson: Good for you. I entirely agree with you, tho "old I should die where possible, and it is I for the old to die, where that can be | brought about in war so as to save j the young. Of course, if a man has a wife and children dependent upon him I he ought not to go to war until there is such a demand as there was in the j Civil War, but he should go if his j wife and c hildren are not dependent upon him for their bread. If we now go to war with Germany I should a good deal rather be killed myself than to have my two eldest boys, who are married and have children, killed. And bitter though the choice would be. I would rather expose them to battle than their two younger, unmar ried brothers." —From the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Call to Progress Of no use are the men who study to do exactly as was done before, who can never understand that to-day Is a new day. There never was such a combination as this of ours, and the rules to meet it are not set down in any history. We want men of original perception and original action, men of elastic, men of moral mind, who can live in the moment and take a step forward. Columbus was no back ward creeping crab, nor was Martin Luther, nor John Adams, nor Patrick Henry, nor Thomas Jefferson, and the Genius or Destiny of America is no log or sluggard, but a man incessantly advancing, as the shadow on the dial's face, or the heavenly body by whose light it is marked.—Emerson. The City Manager Henry M. Walte, city manager of Dayton, Ohio, who spoke to the Knife and Fork Club last night, modest, dignified, keen, evidently efficient, a typical successful executive for a big corporation, represents the new Idea in city government. He is one of the pioneers in a profession that is bound to extend all over the United States within the next few years, as the city manager plan supplants the old political system of city government.— Kansas City Star. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM THE TELEGRAPH WILL HO IT ' To the Editor of the Telegraph: I attended a meeting: of labor's Open Forum more than a week ago, anil John Price Jackson, labor commission er of Pennsylvania, made an address on industrial insurance, which I think every inan ought to know about.

TROLLEY SERVICE To the Editor of the Telegraph: If some of those people who kick about the poor service on Harrisburg Railway lines would stand at Third and Market streets at almost any hour of the day, I'm sure at least part of the trouble would be more than appar ent. I am not a stockholder of the trolley company, or any other corpora tion, but when I see trouble I usually know it.

Mrs. Aldrich Humbly Born A plain two and one-half-story wooden house with a tailor shop on the ground floor and a lawyer's office above, in Norwich, Conn., was the birthplace of Mi's. Nelson W. Aldrich, the mother-in-law of John D. Rocke feller, Jr., who died in her house on Fifth Avenue, New York City, re cently. She was a Miss Chapman, and when her parents died she was taken by her aunt, Mrs. Duty Greene, wife of a druggist, of Christian Hill, R. I. She was brought up as the Greenes' own child, and in time was known as Miss Abby P. Greene, although she never was adopted by the Greene family. Her uncle was her guardian, how ever. October 9, 18Cfi, she married Nel son Wilmarth Aldrich, who hatl been a bookkeeper in the country store of James Bullock, in East Killingly, Conn., before going to Providence, R. 1., to seek his fortune. The newspaper marriage notices gave her name as Abby Oreene, probably because her identity would not have been easily recognized ly the majority of her friends as Abby Chapman. Mrs. Aldrich inherited the Greene property upon her aunt's death and it was then considered a snug fortune by the man who later became United States Senator from Rhode Island and a power in the world of finance. Mrs. Aldrich's brother, William, died here a few years ago, an dthen the family home was sold for business purposes. —New York World.

Miladl's taking on much weight; It really is distressing The way she's added pounds of late From this new mode of dressing. Just yesterday she sauntered out, To do a bit of shopping, In skirt so short It caused a rout With half the street cars stopping. Her silken hose was good to see, They -cost her half a twenty; But, scanning them, you would agree That too much is a-plenty. And when mlladl home returned She called for chops and broilers; Her soul for steaks and mutton yearned. While cook fired up the boilers. She asked for eggs and bacon, too, For chicken, squabs, tomatoes, For fish croquettes and oyster stew, For pancakes and potatoes. For olives, radishes and soup, Enough to feed a party; From hunger she was ail a-droop. Her appetite was hearty. The victuals bill last month It came. Nine hundred bucks extensive. This dressing of the modern dame Is getting quite expensive. —New York Call. I u Third street and a Second street car I were approaching: Market. The traffic officer at Third and Mar ket streets, not knowing; that Third street was practically closed becauve of the long string of parked autoiuo- I biles, gave the signal and sent several | more vehicles into the already jammed | street. The result—lt took just six minutes i 1 to straighten out the tangle, open the I street, get the cars out of the way I and open the tracks for the trolleys, i This is probably one of the worst I streets in the city for congestion. | First, because practically every car on the railways lines passes Third and Market streets, and second, because I autoists continually arc blocking traffic by parking cars. As long as Council j permits this, the railways company is | almost powerless to make the first j move in a real effort to maintain sched \ ules. The incident I saw is not an exception, according to traffic officers, 1 who can only enforce traffic rules that j are made by Council, j True, an ordinance which will stop parking, may cause slight inconveni ence for some of the businessmen, but on the other hand, shall a favored few cause delays and traffic 4 congestion which is daily a nuisance in the down town section. Autoists have frequently I complained about conditions in Third I street, but no attempt liasf been made, from what I have to better i conditions. TOWN OBSERVER.

At an investigation of prison condi tions in New Jersey it was brought out that when the prison department hires out a convict to its road depart ment. it charges $1.45 a day for him, and when the prison department hires out a convict to a private contractor the rate is 35 cents a day. The Swiss Central committee of Labor Unions, during the Christmas convention of the French labor unions, suggested an international meeting of labor unions. An agreement was reached for the attendance of French, Spanish, Italian, Belgian and possibly also English delegates at a meeting to be held in Switzerland. The closing of the big department stores in Paris for two days a week is under consideration as a measure to economize fuel. The store directors, however, object to such a step on the ground that great hardships would be inflicted on sales people and other em ployes, who would be forced to lose two days' employment. | OUR DAILY LAUGH § GOODLY OUTSIDES.

The Pennsyl vania farmers are apparently relying upon Maine potato farmers for their seed potatoes with the chance that the demand upon Maine may be a* great as in this State for the general market, while the scarcity and condi tions following a short crop in many" States will send the price skyward. But here is another disturbing factor. The price of labor, fertilizer and seed may combine to send up the produc tion cost to a figure which would pretty nearly equal what used to be paid for a bushel a few years ago. Some of the men who study such things declare that the cost of a. bushel will run anywhere from forty to fifty cents before u single bushel leaves the fields. Then add the cost of handling, shipping and so on and you have a high price in the time of plenty. • The signs on the trolley cars add to the Interesting game of guessing which car is coming next and at the same time lend variety to the streets.
