THURSDAY", JUNK 12, 1910 A voice within us speaks the startling word, "Man, thou shalt never die!"— Richard H. Dana. A SCHOOL DUTY TEACHING the school children their responsibility as future citizens is a duty \4hfch' de-' volves upon the school officials and teachers as one of the most impor tant of the matters to which atten tion should be given in the most serious fashion. Unless our girls and boys in the formative stage of their lives are taught their obliga tions to the community, there can be no reasonable hope of any im provement in our civic ideals. It's all very well to discuss proper offi cials and those qualified for the public service, but unless the people generally are fully aroused to their share in the conduct of public af fairs there will be no headway in overcoming conditions which now confront every municipality. Dr. Finegan, the new head of the State Department of Public Instruc tion, comes to us with a fine repu tation for constructive educational work and in giving attention to the future educational policies of the Commonwealth we believe he will be more than justified in devoting considerable thought to the awaken ing of the child mind to individual responsibility for community prog ress and commonsense administra tion of the people's business. The relation of the school pupil to the community is a problem worthy the most serious considera tion of, our educational authorities. As the girls and boys learn how much depends upon them and their future activities they will approach the study of civic'duty with en thusiasm, but they must be guided by their elders at home and in the schools. HUNTING COVER AND now Brother Frank L. Polk, about the only official in the State Department to remain on the job, has resigned. "His health will not permit," etc., etc. Oh, no! No unpleasantness because of Mr. "Wilson's refusal to tell the Senate or the people-what Is going on in Europe. Everything O. K., but he quits! He's through! Never again! Ee-nuff! So say they all of them — McAdoo, Reynolds and a string of others. That black storm cloud is growing larger daily. It is the peo ple's wrath. A FITTING OBSERVANCE IT IS very fitting that July 1 should have been chosen as the date for dedicating the memor ials erected at Gettysburg to three of Pennsylvania's distinguished com manders in that titanic conflict and it is proper, also, that the State should pay the expenses of trans porting to the battlefields the sur vivors of the hosts these generals led with such marked success. It was on July 1, 1863, that these men went to Gettysburg on a far differ ent mission and it is appropriate indeed that they be permitted, as the guests of the State they dared all to defend, to celebrate the anniver sary there. The three heroic memorials to be dedicated on widely separated parts of the National Park were erected several years ago to General Andrew Alyrfpson Humphreys, General Alex ander ila.vs and General John White Geary. The stirring times of the "World War\ and other conditions made necessary the postponement of formal ceremonies of dedication until the present time, but now July 1 has been officially announced for the events. What significance the unveilings may have lost through the delay will be more than compensated by the plans now under way for the event. Governor William C. Sproul will make the formal address of presentation, In which he will turn over *the memorials from tha State of Pennsylvania to the War Depart ment. Secretary of "War Newtton D. Baker will be present to accept, In r . • THURSDAY EVENING, >ESXEBR3CEH: JUNE 12, 1919. person, the trust, A battery of reg ular army artillery will be detailed from Fort Myer, Virginia, to fire the salute and take part In the prooes slon before the dedication. As the monuments are so widely separated it has been decided by the commission that but one program shall be held and that this shall take place at the rostrum In the Soldiers' National Cemetery—the stand from which Presidents, Governors, Sen ators and others high in the coun cils of the Nation have spoken from year to year. It is a good sign that in the joy and triumph of another great war victoriously concluded, we have not lost sight of the glorious deeds of a generation now fast passing and that we gladly give them the place in our thoughts they so richly deserve. A Nation that remembers and re veres its heroic dead is as safe from the insidious plottings of foes within as it is ready to meet Vith drawn sword the threat of any foe from without. A whisky bottle was thrown from a train near Altoona the other day and a trackhand suffered a painful injury. The bottle thrower was re moved from the train and paid a fine of $lO and costs of $4.40. These are tough days for John Barleycorn. A POPULAR WRITER THE illness of Ella Wheeler Wil cox, which threatens to prove fatal, has deprived the Tele graph of contributions in verse that have been published in these col umns at intervals for years through the medium of the great feature syndicate byway of which her writ ings reached the public. Mrs. Wil cox is an outstanding figure in American literature, a peculiar genius whose place among the writ ers of hef day remains to be fixed. Some of her verse will stand the test of years and nearly all of it has, or did have when it was written, a wide appeal. A little of it has lost the identity of its authorship and has passed into the form of current quotation, among these bits from •her pen being the universally pop ular: Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must bor row its mirth. It has sorrow enough of its own. A± the age- of nine she had writ ten a "poem" that attracted the at tention of at least one editor, but it was not until her widely, but un fairly criticised "Poems of Passion" appeared that she gained the notice some of her better verso so richly merits. Unlike many of the writers cf her period. b"r married life was one long romance until the death of her husband, for whom she mourned for year, and it was in response to what she believed to be the promptings of his spirit that she went to France to take up the war work which has produced a ner vous and physical breakdown from which her doctors say there can be no recovery. No more popular author has ever contributed to the columns of the Telegraph and it is with sincerest regret that thousands of readers will learn that she has at last laid down her pen, perhaps for all time. FOLLOWING PRECEDENT THE select committee on inves tigation of war activities re cently provided for by the House is made up of fifteen mem bers, ten Republicans and five Democrats. Since it is the purpose of the committee to split into about five sub-committees of three mem bers each, this was necessary in or der that no man should serve on two different sub-committees. There will be two Republicans and one Democrat on each sub-committee. Representative Garrett, of Ten nessee, had a coniption fit over what he termed the injustice of such a small minority representation, as suring the new members of the House that it was without prece dent. Whereupon Representative Longworth arose and called atten tion to the Democratic investigating committee of the Sixty-third Con gress—the committee on expendi tures in the Interior Department— which was made up of five Demo crats and two Republicans, while the Democratic committee on ex penditures in the War Department seated five Democrats and only one Republican. How the Democrats do beef when they are out of power. _ OUT WITH THEM THOSE Germans who have been interned at Fort Ogelthorpe in Georgia since the entrance of the United States into the war, and who have constantly rubbed into Americans their theories of the Ger man superman and the superiority of the fatherland over every other corner of the earth, are going to be sent back to the country whence they came, where they can browse to their hearts' content, and let us hope that they will never again trod the soil of free America. One of these is Dr. Karl Muck, the former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His name may be significant of the character of his propaganda. Muck will be accom panied by a group of other super men, including the captain of the Prince Eitel Frederick, now the property of the United States Gov ernment. Most of the bunch were active in weaving the net of German intrigue which was responsible for getting a lot of otherwise decent citizens into trouble. What causes most surprise in the mind of the average American is the great con sideration which has been given these pro-German propagandists by those in authority in Washington. It is high time that the country was rid of them. IfotitU* Lk *PtKo^6ra>ua. By tlte Kx-Committeeman Latest objections to the Philadel phia charter bill, which developed after the bill had been passed I through the House with only two votes in opposition, are not regarded as serious and the general opinion is that the charter bill will find its way to the Governor's desk a week hence. The objections were raised by Senator E. H. Vare, whose House people had acclaimed the bill as one of the grand pieces of legisla tion of the whole session, but the temper of the members of the Gen eral Assembly is against any fur ther delays because of the charter. The objections were not consid ered serious either by Senator Boies Penrose, Attorney General William I. Sqhaffer or John C. Winston, chairman of the charter committee, when they were told about them, Mr. Schaffer being as insistent that the bill was all right as he was on the amendments, which the charter i people accepted and which the Vare element cheered so heartily. It Is the plan to make such changes, as would be needed to complete the Philadelphia legislation in the reg istration commission bill, which is in the hands of a conference com mittee, and let the House amend ments to the charter bill be con curred in, which would result in the bill being passed early next week. No matter what else Is done there will be a ruction over the registra tion bill, but as it will be in the conference committee, it will not disturb the Legislature until the committee reports. —The woman suffrage people were disappointed yesterday in not getting action on the ratification resolution. The judiciary general committee did not meet, and Gover nor Sproul, Senator Penrose and Senator Crow were out of the city. However, the committee is to meet again on Tuesday. On that day there, will be a mobilization of the pro and anti-suffragists in Harris burg and some strenuous times may be looked for. There is talk of a hearing, which will be opposed by the suffragists. Strong pressure Is being brought to have the resolution for ratification acted upon next week. —Opponents of the fishermen's license bill, who lost their fight in the House this week, are planning to carry their campaign to the Sen ate, whose committee in charge of the bill has not yet given any signs 6f action. The point that the bill will raise enough money to care for the Department of Fisheries and thus relieve the State Treasuiy to extent of probably half a million dollars in two years, is being much mused about the Capitol, while much the same argument is being used against the bill as was used against hunters' licenses some years ago. It was said about the £apitol to-day that the opponents of the bill would have been able to defeat it if they! had been able to keep their people In the House. As it was, Richard Powell, in charge of the bill, seized a favorable opportunity and called the bill up. The men fighting the bill were caught off their -guard. Many members voted agairist the effort to recall the bill as establish ing a dangerous precedent, especial ly in the closing days of the session. —Chester D. Potter, formerly con nected with the Pittsburgh Dispatch as legislative correspondent and now active in insurance affairs, was here this week to see the Legislature at wqrk. —The Philadelphia Press says re garding certain features of the Phil adelphia charter bill: "'The provision against the participation of police and firemen in politics merely sup plies some strong teeth to the pres ent toothless Shern law. To keep the armed and uniformed police from active participation in city pol itics has been the aspiration of re formers for half a century. The Fifth Ward troubles of two years ago show how greatly such exclu sion is needed here. This part of the bill is a large reform. To check the pernicious political activity of City Hall clerks and employes in city politics was also aimed at by this bill, but there it failed. The elimination of this feature is one of the concessions which Attorney General Schaffer made necessary. It weakens the hill, but doubtless aided its passage." —The Philadelphia Inquirer pays this compliment to Speaker Spang ler in its "Who's Who" column: "Robert S. Spangler, Speaker of the House of Representatives received an exceptional expression of confi dence and appreciation from his fel low members of the General Assem bly in the vote sustaining his ruling last week upon the appeal from his decision in the Philadelphia charter legislation fight. There was mani fested evidence of friendship and regard even from those who for factional or other considerations spoke against his contention that the proposed referendum vote was In violation of the spirit of the State constitution. Speaker Spang ler has shown a disposition to be absolutely impartial and while this has been a remarkably harmonious session, compared with many pre vious gatherings, whenever there has been a brush on the floor, the dis putants have had no occasion to question the fairness of the Speaker. —"Probably not for years has there been such an absence of parti san or personal feeling among the great body of the membership of the Legislature. Governor Sproul has been supported in practically every measure of general scope which he has sponsored. Even the Democrats have concurred in what are known as administration measures and there has scarcely been a whisper of party hostility from the minority since the session began. The Phila delphia legislation ajone has given rise to bitterness and that feeling is largely confined to the leaders, rather than the rank and file of the lawmakers from the Quaker Pity. O'd-timc legislators recall with keen interest some turbulent scenes wit nessed in the House when presiding officers did not have the easy time which up to date It has been Speaker Spanaler's good fortune to experi ence." Other Big Crops Nothing has been said officially yet about corn. That will be treat ed by the Department, of Agricul ture later on. But several crops, in addition to wheat, have been reported on. Oats, for one, is re ported at a condition of 93.2, the same as at this time last year, but considerably better than the ten year average of 89.4. Rye is placed at 93.5 at the pressent time, against 83.6 in 1918, and 88.8 for the ter.- year average, while hay, both kinds, is put at 94.1, against 89.0 a year ago, and a ten-year average of 87.3. The question Wall Street Is now ask ing is: What will the West do with Its money?— New York Times. AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELItPt By BRIGGS _ t WM6F>J YOU'VE ~~ AMD Y ' C)U CALL - // .

The Industrial Titan of America A Great Story of Pennsylvania's Wonderful Resources, by John Oliver La Gorce Reprinted From National Geographic Magazine With Special Permission TO attempt a survey of the Commonwealth of Pensylvania in a magazine article is "• kn } to describing an empire on a sheet of note paper; for more than a dozen of the sovereign nations of the earth as they were in the years before the Prussian ran amuck weie smaller in area, and more than half of the rulers of the world governed fewer people than live within the confines of that State. With vast natural resources, im mense industries, pips the uncon querable spirit of progress that tends to create local happiness and na tional well-being, the keystone State, as it is proudly called, chal lenges admiration and stirs the im country, Pennsylvania has many surprises for the investigator of its position in the Union. One might add the populations of four far western States to that of all New England and still have fewer people than dwell in the land of William Penn Draw a line from the Cana dian border to the Rio Orunde on the meridian that separates the Pa kotas and Nebraska from Montana and Wyoming, and all of the PC° pl ® who live between that line and the shores of the Pacific would barely suffice to equal Penn-land s popula- U °Traveling through the State, one quicklv gathers the impression that it is peopled with foreign-born. Its vast industries have laid h ® kyy drafts upon the labor markets of the world in times gone by, and for years not a ship that carried im migrant to America came without a quota bound for the iron, steel, and coal centers of the Common-. Nations Have Contributed An analysis proves, however, that even with the influx of alien labor Ponnsvlvania outranks every other State 'in the Union in the number of sons and daughters of native par entage. Even New York has a mil lion fewer people whose parents were born under the aegis of the Al Stiil Ci the f State is distinguished for its great number of foreigners. No other State has so many Welsh, Austrians, or Hungarians. It has more Welsh than County Radnor shire. more Austrians than the Prov ince of Salzburg, more Hungarians than any two cities In Hungary. Budapest excepted. It has as many English as the counties of Cam bridge and Oxford together; as many Irish as County Kerry; as many Scotch as County Clackman nan; as many Russians as the Gov eminent of Kharkov. Essentially a Thrifty People Pennsylvanians are not alone cup ♦ inguished because of the large numbers who boast of native ancee trv for an examination of the cen sus returns dealing with the owner ship of the homes of the people of the nation reveals the fact that it has more home-owners than any other State. They are essentially a thriftv people. Nearly seven hun dred thousand families live under their own roof-trees —and the strik ing part of that situation is that most of these homes are mortgage fr°Many men have essayed to look into the future of the American peo ple to see what the United States will be when the nation reaches its maturity. Perhaps Pennsylvania can supply the answer. When one travels through the farming and in dustrial section of the southeast, visits the anthracite country of the northeast, wanders around through the splendid valleys of the central section, and then goes into the bi tuminous and manufacturing region beyond the AUeghenies, he marvels at the number of people who find there a homeland, and at the tre mendous volume of business which has been developed. Yet Pennsylvanians know that there Is room in the State for mil lions more, and see no reason why the country at large cannot support a population as dense as that of ' Keystone State to-day. Such a den sity of population would make ours a nation of half a billion souls — more people than Inhabit the entire continent of Europe. The manufacturing industry of the State is an epic of human en. ergy. What bit of fiction could thrill more than the facts showing how one-twelfth of the people pf the United States, the busiest nation on earth, can succeed in producing one-eighth of the Republic's manu factures and more than a fourth of its minerals! Or what story could appeal more than the one which tells how a district constituting only , thousandth part of the earth's people produces one-sixth of the world's pig iron and the same pro portion of its coal! Where Many Industries Thrive Yet, with all of -this concentra tion, Pennsylvania has a. greater di versity of industries than any other State, leading both New York and Illinois in that particular. This ver satile geographic Titan forgea the heaviest castings civilization has ever undertaken to make and the most delicate micrometers that science demands for traversing the realms beyond tho millionth of an inch. With equal success it fabricates trempndous testing machines that squeeze met&lg to the tune of mil lions of pounds, and makes watches whose balance wheels measure time down to the hundred-thousandth part of a second, and chronometers that do, mayhap, even ten times bet ter than that. Wide-ranged, yet concentrated, famous for it sheavy manufactures, .distinguished for its light ones, de manding the most powerful forges in the world, requiring the most delicate turning machines, produc ing raw iron which formerly could be bought for less than a cent a pound, and finished steel worth, in some cases, hundreds of dollars an ounce, Pennsylvania commands ad miration for her manufacturing in dustries and compels attention for her position in the commercial world. Some one has observed that Penn sylvania bridges span most of the rivers of the earth, and that Penn sylvania locomotives run over Penn sylvania rails in the Occident and Orient alike, across Arctic wastes and through tropical jungles, through the heart of civilization and on the border of savage-land. The clatter of the iron pig of Pennsyl vania is heard throughout the world, along with the squeal of the edible porker of Illinois. The -State makes nearly half of the country's cotton lace, more than a third of its carpets and rugs, more than a third of its chocolates and cocoa, nearly half of iUs felt hats, and more than a third of its silk. It broduces more asbestos manufac tures than all the rest of the coun try, and more bluing, ice cream, hammocks and leather thnn any other State represented on our starry flag. X Veritable Treasure-House As might well be imagined, such versatility in its manufacturing in dustries, couplted with seemingly endless natural resources, has created great wealth. Therefore, when it is stated that the estimated true value of all the property in the Commonwealth amounts to more than fifteen billion dollars, on a pre war basis of values, the mind fails to grasp its full meaning. But when one stops to consider that this is four billion dollars greater than the aggregate wealth of all New Eng land and only five billion less than the national wealth of all Italy, the significance of the figure begins to appear. With this epitome of the State's role as a component part of a pow erful nation, one's interest turns to the elements of its greatness. Poli tics gave it the familiar sobriquet— Keystone State. Yet even politics is a matter of geography. Six colonies lay to the east and north of Pennsyl vania and six to the south, so it was the geographical keystone of th? em bryo nation. The early develop ment of its iron deposits and opening up of its coal mines made .it pre eminently an industrial keystone. By the time its limited supplies of iron ore were exhausted the indus tries based thereon had become so well established that even the dis covery of'unprecedented deposits of ore in Michigan and Minnesota could not break the State's position of leadership in those fields. The Moun tain of Manufacture refused to go to the Mahomet of Ore, so the Maho met of Ore came down the Great Lakes to the Mountain of Manufac ture. Coal and limestone are as essen tial in the production of iron and steel as is the ore itself, and Penn sylvania has both in as great abund ance as Minnesota has iron. Fur thermore, heavy manufacturing seeks the neighborhoods of rich coal deposits as unerringly as the fleedle seeks the magnetic north. The Value of n Favored location By favor of location as well as by richness of resource. Nature made Pennsylvania a great State. Call the roll of the forty-eight common wealths of the American Union and another will not be found that shares with the land of Penn the honor of being in navigable connec tion with three of the nation's water fronts-—the Atlantic Ocean the pulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes. Through the Delaware River the shipping of the world may come to the very foot of the chief street of her principal city. Down the Ohio tho wealth of her mines may float, through the very heart of the na tion, to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. At Erie are touched the broad waters of the unsalted seas, where the raw materials and the fin ished products of the West and East How back and forth in the busiest water-borne commerce in tho world. With the Delaware River mean dering southward in such a way as to give the State two great salients into New Jersey; bounded on the north by the forty-second parallel and a bit of 1-ake Erie; separated from Maryland and West Virginia by Mason and Dixon's Dine, and from Ohio by one that runs nearly midway between the eightieth and eighty-first meridians, the State is a parallelogram except for the wan dering course of the Delaware River, the arc of Delaware State, and the jog up to Lake Erie. (To Be Continued) No Wonder Germany Quit NUMBER FOUR ABOUT 8:30 a. m., September 12, we were sure a cheerful bunch," said Major Frank C. Mahin, of the Army Recruiting Sta tion, ilarrisburg. "We were about sjx kilometers back of the German p'ont lines, had killed oodles of Boche, had, nobody knew how many prisoners, a bunch of cannon, twen ty-one, to be exact, machine guns and all sorts of other booty, and to top it all we weren't but about eight hundred yards from the army ob jective where we were due at 9 a. m., and we knew there weren't any Germans to speak of in that eight hundred yards. The first American offensive, the Saint Mihiel, was a success we knew, because we were the pivot and we had broken through, so even if outfits on our left were held up the Boche would have to retire. Just as we were so particularly pleased with ourselves, the rolling barrage passed over a small clump of woods and out popped two Boche, not one hun dred yards away. Exhaustion, wounds, thirst, hunger, all were in stantly forgotten, and like a pack of hounds after a rabbit we all started to run those two Boche down. Whooping and yelling like a bunch of small boys we flew. Those Boche didn't run a hundred yards before they quit, dropped their belts and throw up their hands. 1 hurried up to them and found one was a cap tain and the other a private. I spoke to the captain, asked him what he was doing with only one man and he answered that he and his orderly were the last* men of his regiment, the Three Hundred and Fifty-First Prussian Regiment. Ho was a very bright man, about thirty years old, so I took him along to question at leisure. Upon further inquiry he proved to be a graduate of the University of Breslau. and a very well informed man. After an swering a lot of questions, he asked me if we were English. I said we were Americans. He said: 'Nothing but Americans?' looking all around. I told him we were. He then re marked that of course we had French on the right and left and absolutely refused to believe me when I told him it was a purely American attack, seventeen Ameri can divisions. He said T was lying, that there weren't that many Ameri cans in France, including the men In the Service of Supply; that ho had seen the official figures of the landings In Frnnce, and that due to tlje submarine campaign, we had only been able to land less than 400,000 men up to September 1. and that seventeen divisions would bo 450,000 combat troop". T told him we landed over 300,000 in the month of August, and he just laughed and said that was a good joke on a poor prisoner. "A month later, despite the lying reports of the German government, every German officer and soldier knew that at least a million and a half Americans were in France and that their government was lying to them." J WHY BOMBS? [From Christian Science Monitor.] Thousands of people in the United States, reading of the bomb explo sions that have wrecked the door ways of judges, lawmakers, and others having some official share in the support of the public law and order, are asking one another: "What is the answer to the bomb outrages?" As if, indeed, there were any doubt of the answer; as if the ansewr had not established and written down in this country long before such a thing as a bomb had ever been thrown in the protest of radicalism against the existing social order. The answer to the bomb outrages in this country is the United States of America. All basis for a protest with bombs dis appears wherever the United States form of government is really under stood and taken advantage of. That is the answer. It is adequate. The United States of Ajperica has always been the answer to Europeanism. For the very purpose of giving such an answer, this Government came into being. It was the answer to the monarchical tyranny of Europe in 1776; it is the answer to the Eur opean proletarian tyranny of to-day But it requires to be understood and applied. If the proletarian hosts who have come to this country from Europe—and it matters not, for the moment, whether they came voluntarily or were induced to come by American capitalists in need of laborers; they came seeking indvid ual benefit—only understood the American idea as built into the Unit ed States form of government, thev would see that their protest against the government here, in spite of their feeling that the government is at present capitalistic, is as need less as motive power to give motion to a ball in the middle of an in clined plane. The Government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, now as ever; but the people must consciously and definitely tuke and keep their Gov ernment for themselves, or they must expect to sec it usurped and turned against them. The founders of the Nation made control of gov ernment easy in order that the com mon people might control it. If the radicals, the Bolsheviki, and the an archists in this country are not a minority, if they really represent the people, they can take over the Gov ernment at any time by merely or. ganizing and casting the majority vote in a national election. They need do no more than this in order UniTert b 9t Sl l thC SOVlet • sys,om the letilu ♦ states, or to make the pro of wh!tT en "'„ 0r to aboli!

A thousand or so is a mere drop in the bucket to them An interesting light was thrown on the great estates the' other day at a hearing before the Coal Comms sion. Lord Tredegar testified that his estate approximated 82,000 acres, of which 18,800 contained coal. From royalties on this coal land, Lord Tredegar derives an income of al most 8375,000 a year. The Marquis of Bute confessed to owning 1128,582 acres of land in South Wales and Scotland, of which 48,878 acres is underlaid with coal. From royalties on this coal land, he said, his annual income is more than Mi million dollars a year. His entire estate, to which he succeeded a few years ago, Is valued at more I than 20 million dollars. lEbmitg children flock to them after supper is the best evidence of popular in terest in baseball and an argument against repeal of the daylight sav ing law. The games are being play ed chiefly by neighborhood men, but representatives of different sections of the city are among the contenders and when uptown goes after a scalp on the Hill the procession of auto mobiles that follows the nine and mobilizes about the baseball field is worth noting. Incidentally, it may be worth mentioning that some of ♦he games played at the diamond at Fifth and Seneca draw from 1,200 to 1,800 persons and that the grounds' in Seventeenth street below Market attract folks from all over the Hill. It is so in lesser degrees in regard to other diamonds downtown and In the outlying sections. The extra hour or so of daylight after supper enables games ranging from five to seven innings to be played before darkness comes along and the way the crowds "root" is a revelation. There is more real genuine local pride manifested in the nines at these evening games on the open lots in Harrisburg than on the average college diamond. * The Red Men's convention in ses sion in this city, is the fifth meeting of the kind held in Harrisburg. Ac cording to the veteran member of this famous order the first meeting was held twenty-eight years ago. The presiding officer was John M. McCulley, of Lancaster Tribe No. 2. He is now recognized as the Senior Past Great Sachem. He has been an attendant at Red Men's conven tions for fifty-three years. It was at this meeting that the late Gover nor John W. Geary was made a member of the Octarora Tribe of this city. Mr. McCully is known to many veteran Red Men throughout the United Seates. Later conven tions were held in 1885, 1904, 1909 and 1919. • • • Another veteran Red Man is Richard "Rick" Chellew of this city.

It happens to be a bear this time. The bear is about three months old and was found half drowned along a stream near Renovo. It had become separated from its mother and as it was lively and took an interest in things in general Warden Stout got the idea that it would like to visit Harrisburg and sent it to Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State Gamo Commission. So the bear registered in the Franklin building back where, T. Cleary, of Clearfield, presides over the bounties and was given a voting residence on the big table. He was fed bread and milk and made to feel at home.

During the examination of one of the witnesses some auto driver in Court street, just west of the court room. opened his cutout and speed ed up his engine. The noise was almost deafening and Judge Kun kel thundered, "Wait a minute un til it's over." In about three minu- I tes the case was resumed after Judge Kunkel and District Attorney Michael E. Stroup had exchanged some severe criticisms of the chauf feur. • • • A colored man, called before Judge Kunkel for sentence, was asked what he had done. He ad mitted .that while intoxicated he stole a package from an automobile which he thought was meat but which happened to be a rubber in nertube. "Pretty tough chewing that would have been?" the court queried. The prisoner admitted he didn't want the tube when he found out what it was but the police had already arrested him. He told the court he was 69 years old and it was his first offense, so Judge Kunkel imposed a sentence of one month in jail. * • * To minimize the punishment for a crime results in minimizing the offense in the eyes of the public and the offender Judge Kunkel remark ed in disposing of a case recently. He said that from his experience on the bench he has found that sus pended or short sentences make of fenses against the law less abhor rent to the public and the guilty person, a condition which should not exist. * * * Harrisburg certainly likes to see parades, but it does have a partiality for Red Men's parades. There have been half a dozen held here in recent years and there have been numerous parades of other kinds, but the crowds that gathered yes terday along the streets to greet the warriors were prefty big and came from all sections. A Red Man's parade demonstrates that there must be a lot of members of the order to draw people from their homes .to see the lines go by. | WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —Ex-Judge William Field Shay, of Pottsville, was among visitors to the Capitol yesterday. —George C.
