MR. CARNEGIE S CONSCIENCE
It is a mistake to think that a great captain of
industry and finance is uot subjected to the annoy
ing recoil of his conscience if at any time he may
find he has stretched that elastic constituent of all
human make-ups to a point beyond certain popu
larly prescribed limits.
We often have been told that the Rockefellers,
the Yanderbilts and the Carnegies have no such
thing as a conscience. We often have gained the
impression that these great masters of finance and
industry are immune to the influence of the whis
perings of the still small voice if by any accident
they deviate slightly from the straight and narrow
path. We have often, perhaps, conjured up mental
pictures of men of this type as absolutely heartless
fellows, entirely selfish.—at least until their years
are well advanced and they begin to think of other
things than business,—and as men who never pause
to consider, while amassing millions, that perhaps
there is a limit which should be recognized in the
amount of wealth that one individual may accumu
late without trespassing on the rishts of the people
as a whole.
But it suddenly has been impressed on us how
unjust we have been in harboring at least some of
these ideas. We at last are forced to the realiza
tion of how easy it is to misjudge men in such lofty
stations of wealth and power as the Rockefellers,
thf \ anderbilts and the Carnegies. Our altered
opinion of thes< men s consciences comes with read
ing quotations from a letter of Mr. Carnegie which
were read at the hearing in Philadelphia yesterday
iu the Government suit designed to dissolve the
I nited States Steel Corporation.
These quotations show that Mr. Carnegie wrote
from Skibo Castle, Scotlaud. on August 12. ISM,
that if prevailing steel prices were maintained in
the following year it would be possible to* rr have at
!fast s4O.o<H>,(' 0 profit.—but it may be $50,000,000."
"To want more than that." he added, "seems
wicked."
This note, besides removine all doubt that Mr.
< arnegie has a conscience, reveals another interest
ing trait of his character.—the modesty of the man.
ADVANTAGES OF BUYING AT HOME
U is not by any means a new and original pro
cedure to enumerate reasons why the business o*
a city should go to the merchants of that city. Ye> 1
since persons need not so much to be instructed '
as to be reminded, occasional recurrence of the !
subject should be beneficial. Everv good citizen \
of Harrisburg knows that hi> patronage is due to j
local dealers handling the commodities which he j
buys, since upon the success of these merchants 1
depends largely, very largely, the prosperity of j
■.He eit\ which he calls home. the. city from which i
' he geu his substance, ami he is not fair to his
fellow citizens unless he practices that which his
reason tells him is the proper spirit of co-opera
tion.
•lust as the purchasing of products in America
instead of abroad benefits business conditions iu
America, so the patronizing of local merchants iu
Harrisburg. rather than of mail-order dealers in
otKer cities, favorably affects the prosperity of
Harrisburg. The present conditions in Europe are
doing a great deal for American commercial in
dependence. and this exterior influence is keeping
many American dollars in United States. However. .
the war does not make it any more difficult to trade
by nrnil between Harrisburg and oth«»r cities of
the country. The parcel post has been a boon to i
HARRISBHRO STARTyPEPEXPKVr. WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 21. 1914
i the mail-order business and encourages the pur
| chase of merchandise at uiail-order centers. These
. advantages afforded by the pareel post, however,
I are more than offset by benefits of home dealing, as
presented time Ad again.
Merchandise bought in Harrisburg stores ean
be seen before it is paid for, and if it proves to be
unsatisfactory after purchase there is little diffi
culty in remedying the trouble. Delays in making
purchases and in getting satisfaction in case of
error are annoying and often cause great incon
venience. Such delays are many times necessary
in mail-order dealings, because personal contact
between patron ami salesman is replaced by cor
respondence which is often misunderstood at both
I ends.
Harrisburg dealers aim to give value received.
They handle grades of merchandise to suit all pock
et books and they must please their "patrons 111 their
dealings because they are transacting business with
these customers face to face. Increased business
for the local merchants encourages them to keep
larger and more assorted stocks and gives the pub
lie advantages of wider selection in buying goods.
The merchants of Harrisburg pay a large part
of the city taxes ami in other -ways contribute
largely to the city's welfare. They support institu
tions of the city and ghe it the life which "only
active business can gi\e to a municipality. They
deserve the patronage, not iu part but in whole, of
the citizens of Harrisburg. Dollars which go out of
Harrisburg seldom return. When desired mer
chandise can be purchased from retailers in this
city, the local merchants should receive the benefit
of the business. Dealings will be more satisfactory,
money earned iu Harrisburg will stay iu Harrisburg
and the city will prosper.

until the latter part of June, as was

in the game* Governor Stuart made
a few speeches for .he ticket at the

to depart from his rule ot not Lakiug

and Thin
Girls—if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair," do by a'l
means get rid of dandruff, for it will i
| starve your hair and ruin it if you !
i don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to i
j brush or wash it out. The ouly sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve ;
| it, then you destroy it entirely. To do '
; this, get about four ounces of ordinary
j liquid arvon: apply it at night when re
! tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp
! and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
! By morning, most if not ali, of your
. dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single !
sign and trace of it.
You will find. too. that ail itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
, your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous,
soft, and look and feel a hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at anv
drug store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails. Adv.
