CONGRESS AND THE NATION S TEETH
Lioiug on the theory that Congress, when it coin
piled the list of articles upon which war tax is
imposed, made uu effort to select such articles as
are not absolute necessities, it is to be presumed
that the use of most of these articles will be some
what diminished from now until the European con
flict ends.
Economic history shows that, —even in the eases
of so-called necessities, —the demand falls off to
some extent if the cost is arbitrarily raised. Thus
we hear of folks eating less beef.—as necessary as
I hat article of food is generally regarded as beiug,—
when the Trust soaks on a few cents a pound, and
it is recalled that recently when the price of sugar
took a big jump upward, lots of people found they
could get along with a good deal less of this neces
sary commodity.
If people can actually cut down their consump
tion of what are generally recognized as necessities
ihe logical conclusion is that they can even more
easily reduce their consumption of articles that
are not regarded as absolutely essential to human
existence. A careful perusal, however, of the list
of articles on which Congress has imposed the war
tax. raises the question with regard to some of them
as to how. the law-makers determined that the arti
cles are more in the luxury class than in the cate
gory of necessities.
Now there are promissory notes, for instance.
They arc taxed and therefore, according to the
Congress theory, they are not necessities. In other
words Congress classes them as luxuries. Yet it
doesn't seem to us to be a very luxurious state to
be in when you have to give your note to borrow
money to pay your bills, and then on top of that
are compelled to pay a tax .just because you are
that hard up.
The list of taxed articles also includes tooth
washes. Going on a principle that only luxuries
are taxed. Congress classes tooth washes as lux
uries. Most of us, perhaps, would venture the
opinion that the use of tooth wash is rather a neces
sity,—but then the Congressmen, of couujse, have
their own ideas about such things.
UNCLE SAM'S FOREIGN MAIL TROUBLES
Uncle Sam, watching the course of the European
war with mixed feelings of interest and disapproval,
is not escaping the injuries which are usually re
ceived in a conflict by innocent bystanders. He
has been suffering in many ways, and not the least
of his inconvenience is that which affects his for
eign mails.
The United States mail service is not often to
be interfered with. In this country it demands the
right of way at all times and few are the persons
so rash as to insert their fingers into the cogs of
the great machine. Conditions abroad have now
shaken the service or at least that, part of it which
transmits foreign mails. While the war lasts this
foreign service will be crippled for it cannot help
itself.
The bulletins on mail conditions being issued at
the Postoffic-e Department have been compared to
those given out by a physician from a sickroom.
I hey state that the situation is "rapidly on the
mend, but. of course, with a possibility of compli
cations. Mail is being dispatched and received via
ocean routes as rapidly as can be expected under
the circumstances, but it will be naturally a lengthy
period before everything is normal again."
According to accounts from Washington, the
German embassy is usually without incoming mail
HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1914.
from abroad, since tlie mail service of the Father
land is more crippled than any other. Washington
receives a great deal of mail matter from the war
zone because of the presence in the capital of so
many representatives of foreign countries, and it is
said that nothing so forcibly brings home to persons
in this country the strenuousncss of conditions
alroad as the battered appearunce of the impres
sively sealed and royally stamped envelopes wliieh
pass through the postoft'ice of the capital.
Not nearly so much mail is coming into the
United States as is going out, yet 110 guarantee
accompanies the out-goiug letters that they will
reach their destinations 'iu safety. This govern
ment's responsibility for sure delivery ends when
Ihe foreign governments take over the mail
pouches, and what becomes of the matter then de
pends 011 war conditions.
"We really have the situation well in hand right
now." is the statement which comes from the Di
vision of Foreign Mails in Washington, "but, of
course, it is a ease of sit tight and hope more coun
tries will not get into the scrimmage. For instance,
Italy is our great consolation. Italian boats are
carrying mail fairly regularly, but if Italy decides
to declare war our main avenue for mail to south
ern Europe will be completely cut off."
The suspension of the parcel post between the
I nited States and European countries was de
manded by the foreign countries, assigned reasons
being that there are not sufficient men left at home
in the warring nations to handle the parcel post
properly, anil that troops and provisions have
crowded parcel post packages from the convey
ances. At any rate, the crippled parcel post service
abroad is 110 fault of Uncle Sam. He is merely
taking the part of the unfortunate bystander, dodg
ing as gracefully as possible, but not without re
ceiving serious injuries.
1 lie weaknesses in the postal service abroad are
expected to be felt during the coining Christmas
: season. If war braves the approach of winter, and
i certain conditions seem to show that it will pass
j through more winters than this one. Christmas will
not be celebrated through the mails as it has been
for many years past, from one end of the world
to the other. Domestic mail in this country will
f not he affected, but every citizen of the land does
iiot have all his lriends and relatives within the
1 limits of the nation's domestic postal service, and
the impossibility of exchanging gifts and good
wishes between the United States and Europe at
I ( hristmastime will sadden many hearts.

" 'Why, you see,' he explained, 'you must write your

check to your husband he will know we have paid vou

" 'Oh, yes, I understand,' she replied, apparently much
relieved.

Vogel's Tribute to "Billy" Welsh
That was a graceful tribute front the
heart when ( Jolnt W. Vogel, the old
minstrel manager, when his company
was here last week, went to tho ceme
tery and placed a floral tribute on the
grave of "Billy " Welsh, Harrisburg's
most famous minstrel man, who died
in New York several years ago and
was buried here. The bond of friend
ship and loving remembrance is ever
strong among the members of the min
strel profession, and, unlike the regular
theatrical profession, there arc few
jealousies among them. To this day the
memory of ."Billy" Welsh is revered
among the old-time minstrels who are
still before the pubiic, but thev are
very few. Once in a great while one
of the minstrels who was a member of
one of the companies of blackfaced
performers that flourished from 1870
to 1890, comes along and makes refer
ence to "Billy" Welsh, for they al!
knew him, either, as song and dance
artist, comedy sketch artist or manager
and they all delighted to do him honor.
The little act of Manager Vogel in
laying a posy on the grave of his old
minstrel companion may not have been
much as we judge things in everyday
life, but it showed the love of oue man
for another long dead.
How Welsh Got a Start
"Billy" Wels>h was a little Irish
boy in the early 60's workiug in a
brickyard in the lower end of this city,
where he Jived with his parents. He
was what was then known in brick
yards as au "ofF-bearer," carrying the
bricks from the maker to the kiln to
be burned. Like many boys in the early
war period he wts attracted by the
minstrel shows, and he was a constant
patron of Sanford's opera house, a
building that stood on the site of the
present Star-Independent office build
ing. The opera house had been an old
stable belonging to Judge William F.
Murray, but remodeled by the late S.
t>. Sanford and made into a minstrel
hall, wherein appeared the most fa
mous minstrel stars of the da v.
"Billv \\ elsli was a patron of min
strelsy, aud he was quick to pick up
j'S steps he" saw 011 the stage. In
time lie was a clever dancer aiul was
tlif envv of ;:il the other boys. All lie
wanted was an opening to show what
he could do on the stage, and that came
when the late "Jake" Budd, one of
the funniest comedians on the sta"e,
whom Sousa referred to as the come
dian with tue staccato laugh, gave liiiu
a chance to give a blackface song and
dance on the stage. Canterbury Hall,
an amusement hall in the old Exchange
building, -where the postollicc building
I now stands. The young minstrel was so
j ci«?vor that Budd, when he closed his
j Canterbury hall took "Billy" with him
j to Boston where he had an cngage
j ment with the famous Buck lev'* Sere-
J naders, a minstrel organization famed
j the country over. In Boston "Billv"
j Welsh made a great hit and soon estab
: lislied himself among the Bostouese as
a prime favorite. At the completion of
j his engagement Budd returned to Har
-1 risburg with his partner, Dan Howard,
; '■'""jo player, and W el>ii came home
j with them. That was Welsh's lirst out
| of town engagement.

Partner of 44 Johnny" Rice
In Harrisburg at the time was an
other little Irish lad, "Johnny" Rice
by name, a bootblack, blonde, soft
voiced, quick and a good dancer, and
iie, too. had succeeded in securing a
chance to see what he could do as a
danger on the minstrel stage. Welsh
and Rice met, they were suited for each
other, both could sing and dance and
-both were very quick to learn, so they
formed a partnership, one that lasted
until "Johnny" Kice died years after
ward in a hospital in Chicago. Welsh
and Rice, as team, first appeared in
Boston and made an instantaneous hit, I
so that their future was assured. Welsh
was a sketch producer and had ideas j
which he had others put into writing
and dress up to lit the .itage and when
he produced them they were invariablv '
successful.
** * ,
Made Hit in Philadelphia
About this time Cam cross & Dixey,
the minstrel managers in Philadelphia,
had secured the services of a pair of
juvenile song and dance artists named
Cheever and Kennedy, who were billed
as the "Buffalo Boys." Thev were a>
novelty in Philadelphia and of course
made a hit. Simmons & Slocum, a new
minstrel firm, opened a minstrel show
on Arch street, Philadelphia, as rivals
to Carneross & Dixey. Simmons was
the late "Lew" Simmons, who appear
ed at the Orpheum here a couple of
years ago as a banjoist, and who was
killed by an automobile in Reading
about a year ago. The new firm wanted
a pair of juvenile performers to rival
the "Buffalo Boys," and their choice
fell upon Welsh and Rice, who were j
then in Boston. An engagement was!
made and Welsh and Rice were billed !
as the "Empire "Boys," and their'act-'
ing simply captured Philadelphia. In
a short time Welsh was writing the big
sketches for the entfte company, and he
and Rice were drawing down big money
at the box office every salary day.
* . *
Made Trip to 'Frisco
When the Simmons & Slocum com
pany made their across-thc-contineiit
trip to San Francisco, the first ever at
tempted, it being by overland stage
route, Indians beset them and it was
told in the east that both Welsh and
Rice had been scalped. That was a
press agent story, however, for neither'
of the boys were harmed in the least. |
W T hen the Simmons & Slocum place on.
Arch street closed, Welsh and Uice took 1
an engagement with Haverly's min-j
strels, and for quite a while were mem- j
bers of "Jack" Havcrly's famous
"Forty— count 'em—forty," one of I
the bost minstrel companies that ever
traveled. For a long time they were
| loi'ntod in Chicago where "Johnny"
Itice was taken down with tuborculosis
and died in a hospital. Ho was buried
in Chicago.
*
Took Negroes to Europe
Havcrly, finding Welrfh a rare good
j business manager, placed in his care
| the taking of the famous Callondar's
I Georgia Minstrels on a tour of Europe.
This company was composed of gen
uine negroes, including the famous
| ''Billy" Kevsands, "Dick" Little and
i other colored fuu-makers. Their appear
; ance in England created a furore as I
'as when, years afterward, "Buffalo
Bill" took his cowboys and Indians to
the British Isles. The Georgia minstrels,
| under Mr. Welsh'» management, play
ed in London and all the principal
cities of England, then went to Scot-1
land and Ireland, meeting with won
derful success everywhere. In some
cities they played return engagements,
and in London the Prince of Wales
was pleased to attend the performance,
011 which occasion special programs
j printed on pink satin were prepared
for the royal box. Mr. Welsh at the
time sent some of these satin programs
to friends in Harrisburg, and they may
vet be preserved as souvenirs. The eu
| tire European tour was a brilliant suc
! cess, and if Mr. Haverly had conserved
j the big money made for him bv Mr.
I Welsh he might have died a rich man.'
: Returning to this country. Mr. Welsh
took up his residence in New York
City, managing various amusement en
terprises until his death some years
ago. He was a minstrel genius, a kind
hearted, loveable fellow, and he stood
at the head of his profession. He is
buried in the cemetery near this city,
not far from his old home in the First
Ward.

ARGUE FOR FRANK'S LIFE
Last Appeal to Save Condemned Man
Hoard by Supreme Court
Atlanta, Oct. 27.—Argument on a
| motion to set aside the verdict by
: which Leo MyFrank was found guilty
i ot the murdtfr of Mary Phagan, April
26, 1913. was begun before the State
Supreme Court yesterday. The motion
was based on the contention that the
defendant was not present in court
wlion the verdict was read.
Frank was convicted August 25
1913. In their arguments Frank 's coun'
sel alleged that while the jury was de-
I liberating the "air about the court
| room was surcharged with mob vio
1 leuce," and that the trial judge had
| suggested that Frank be absent when
| the verdict was returned,
j Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsev,
j for the State, contended that the waiv
j er of Frank's counsel, in which he held
! Frank acquiesced, of the defendant's
