4 LII Paris is excited over the
n Anti-Collar League, which has
\ just been founded by Maurice
Verne. well-known Partisan
Journalist. The aim of the league is to
'fncite people to rebellion against the
silly fashion of locking up their Adams
apple in a prison of starch" Several
letters already have been published
from would-be members of the league
asking for particulars.

group of Latin Quarter students In

and everywhere arguments for or
against the idea may be heard. '"The
collar is an excellent institution and
forces us to carry our heads high. 4"
one student writes. Its various de-
grees of cleanliness enable us to size
up a man. Tell me whether your COL
lar is clean and 1 will tell you what
kind of man you are"
A speaker before the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce told his audi
ence not long ago that we do not wear
stiff collars because we like them, but
because certain bright and insistent
gentlemen who are at the head of col
lar manufactures in Troy, n. Y, set
the fashion which we bindly follow.
That being the case, we suggest that
there is urgent need of the presence
just now in Paris of one of the clever
publicity experts of the Troy firms
that have done such splendid service
in keeping the laundries alive in this
country.

sylvania will nominate two can
i didates for the Supreme Cour
bench.
Judge Kunkel of Dauphin county
is a candidate, as everybody through
out the State knows. NeighborhooC
pride should lead every citizen of this
and surrounding counties to vote fol
known far and wide. He is the mar
before whom the Capitol conspiracy
cases were tried and who upheld the
Constitutionality of the Full Crew
law. He has been power for justice
upon the Dauphin county bench and
nothing but praise has been spoken
of his work since he was elevated to
the judgship eleven years ago.
That he is held in high esteem
abroad as well as at home is attested
by the tribute paid him by Frederic
W. Fleitz, of Scranton, former deputy
attorney general. In yesterdays Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, Mr.. Fleitz said
in recommendation of the nomination
of Judge Kunkel:
/ shall take pleasure in support
ing Judge Kunkel for the Supreme
Court, because of his intimate ac-
quaintance with legislation and the
experience he has had for eleven
years on the Common Pleas bench
of Dauphin county where he has
constantly been trying. cases of
large public interest, affecting the
people of the State generally and
involving the construction of con-
stitutional and Legislative ,ques-
tions; then, too. he is a man in the
fun physical and mental vigor of
middle age, with every reasonable
expectation of living to serve the
entire twenty-one years of the
term, and this | consider of great .
Importance.
IF the voters of the State were
furnished, through the medium of
the newspa pers, with all the facts
necessary to form correct iudg-
ment of the ability and character
of the candidates for high judicial
honors on the nonpartisan ballot 1
am confident that they would exer-
else that judgment in a way that
would be for the best interests of the
commonwealth, and such informa-
tion ought to be made accessible
to them. l am not sure that
straw vote of the members of the
state Bar Association will throw
much light on this question. as
some or the ablest lawyers and best
judges of the Commonwealth are
too busy to attend bar association
meetings anu become personally
quainted with those composing its
membership.
Mr.. Fleitz is man of affairs. He
knows Pennsylvania and its needs. He
knows personally all the candidates
for the Supreme Court judgeship. His
judgment is all the more valuable be-
cause he has appeared before Judge
kunkel frequently as a representative
of the State and just as frequently in
behalf of the private citizen. He forms
his estimate of Judge Kunkel as a
candidate for the Supreme Court on
this broad knowledge of men and con-
ditions.
Judge Kunkel will receive a big
vote abroad, as testimonials of this
kind indicate, but the biggest vote of
all should be given right here at home.
He should have every vote cast in
Dauphin county for Supreme Court
Judge.

4 RAY OF HOPE

RESPECTS of bumper crops this
year and likelihood of relieving
the country of the incubus of a
Democratic Congress next No
vember furnish ray of hope which
is some encouragement to the dis
tracted business interests under pres
ent conditions.
Even the stupid persistence of an
administration hopeless in its hostile
attitude toward business cannot alto
gether destroy the confidence of the
people in the resources of the nation
and the recuperative power of Ameri-
can industry
Theoretical government and a the
oretical tariff have done their worst
and only continuance of Democratic
tinkering and experimenting can
wholly destroy the splendid structure

CONGRESSMAN KREIDER

7 TITLE has been said in the cam
paign leading up to the prima-
- ries of the candidacy of Con-
gresham Aaron s. Kreider for
denomination, principally because he
has no opposition. But the fact that
his nomination is certain should not
affect the size of the vote to be cast
for him.
Every Republican in Dauphin and
the two adjoining counties constitut-
ing the local congressional district
should show their appreciation of the
excellent manner in which their inter-
ests have been upheld at Washington
by Mr.. Kreider.
Under most difficult circumstances
and in the face of an overwhelming
Democratic majority in the House he
has shown ability and resourcefulness
in meeting local needs and staunch
courage and independence in standing
up for the best principles of Republi-
canism. He will be reelected in No
vember beyond doubt, but he should
be given a substantial party endorse
ment tomorrow.

HELD LAST Dance
OF THE SEASON
Large Crowd Present at Outing Club
Dancing Party.-An Enjoy
able Affair.

The last dance of the season was
heartily enjoyed Friday night at the
Outing club house with a large
crowd present.
The club house was seasonably
decorated with corn stalks, corn
husks and streamers of red, while
hanging jack-o-lanterns furnished
the light for the fun. The dancers
were all masked in sheets and pill
low slips, and soon after arriving
were presented with hideous horns,
rattles and other noise producing
articles, and for few moments a
horrible din, supposed to be pecu-
liar to Halloween night, ensued. At
ter the grand march, the dancers
unmasked and the remainder of the
evening remained unmasked.
One of the prettiest features of
the occasion was ribbon" dance,
each dancer holding roll of paper
ribbons in the hand and throwing
them toward the center of the floor,
forming a maze of ribbons which
soon wound everyone up in a good
humored tangle. Other Halloween
features were introduced and an un-
usually fine time was enjoyed.

success. At least twenty new men,
bers have been secured and almost
all the old members are coming for
ward with back dues in a highly
gratifying manner. The plan of the
present commercial league is to
serve no banquet this year, as has
formerly been done, but to spend
the money which would otherwise
be spent in satisfying the inner man
in some other manner. There is no
doubt but that upon the finishing of
the solicitation, practically every
live business man will have become
a member of the league, and thus
the chain Of protection,
good business and good feeling in
business and professional circles.

ROBBERY OCCURRED
sunday NIGHT
Boston Shoe & Clothing Company's
Store Broken Into and Money
! Taken.

The Boston Shoe G. Clothing com
panys store on east Second street
was entered Sunday night between
1880 and 9 o'clock in the evening
and over $3.50 in cash and owed SIC
worth of jewelry and clothing stol-
en-. No clue has so far been discov-
cred which would lead to the appre-
hension of the guilty party.
Nathan Boynoff, manager of the
store, was at his desk about z
O'Clock in the evening and had the
safe open looking over his books. He
left the store at 1880 O'Clock to go
to supper and locked the money
drawer but did not turn the COM
bination on the outer door Of the
safe. When he returned at O'Clock
the store was in confusion. The
safe door stood open, and the money
drawer had been pried open with
pers and checks were scattered about
sver the floor, the thief evidently
not caring to take any chances with
checks, for these to the amount of
over 5000 were in the money draw
er. The cash register had been
rifled of it's last cent and the stock
of jewelry with the exception Of the
cuff buttons taken and the cases
thrown around the floor. Shirts,
handkerchiefs and a mackinaws were
also missing and the stock had been
thoroughly gone through. The thief
had done the work with the aid of
a searchlight.
Entrance had been gained by the
breaking of a rear basement win
dow, frame, glass and all having
been smashed. He had then gone
up the basement stairs and found
the door leading into the store un-,
locked so the rest was easy. Find
ing the outer safe door unlocked he
was able to center his attentions on
the money drawer and after obtain
Ing his haul had effected an easy
exit through the back door, which
he simply unlocked and removed the
bar, from the inside.
The police have not much to work
upon, as nothing but a handkerchief
was left behind as evidence.

Movement on Foot to Send a Car
load Of Corn to Belgium
Must be Sent Soon.
THE PEOPLE ARE STARVING
Commercial League Back of the
Scheme-Now is the Time
for Action.
THE PEOPLE ARE STARVING

In Saturdays Register and Lead
or appeared an article containing a
splendid suggestion, emanating from
the brain of D. S. Chamberlin of that
city, for the immediate relief of
starving Belgians-that Iowa should
send at Thanksgiving time a huge
train load of cornmeal, one car from
each county Of the state if possible,
across the continent to the eastern
shipping points to be forwarded to
Belgium.
Apropos of this idea was one or
iginating in this city, that the COM
mercial league send a carload of
meal from Hamilton county, ground
at a Webster City mill and sacked in
sacks bearing "Webster City" or
some other equally appropriate
words thereon. This idea has not
taken entirely definite form yet, al
though one thing is certain-that
Hamilton county, under the auspices
of the league of Webster City, is go
ing to send a carload of corn. The
idea of the cornmeal, it is found, is
impracticable, unless old corn can be
had, since there are only few
places in the state where the corn
can be properly dried before milling
in such quantities as would be nee
essary.
Webster City could grind the corn
all right, but could not kiln-dry it.
The corn, however, can and will be
sent. The plan of the league is this:
Every man, woman and child in
the county is asked in the name of
humanity to give of their
abundance during the next ten days
one bushel Of corn, or its equivalent,
which would be about 60 cents in
Farmers having the corn are
requested to deliver it at once-and
no one will be prevented from CIV
Ing more If he is so inclined. He
can drive his load or his bushel, as
the case may be, to either the Saw
ings Bank or the Wardrobe, where
he will be instructed where to dis
pose of 1t. A definite place will be
announced inside of a day or two.
the corn will be received
Just the same and a temporary place
arranged for. The time is short

the corn in. Nearly every family
