Compliments Harrisburg
But enough of this persiflage.
Whilst in the Smith Library to-day
noticed a number of members of this
organization come in and ask for such
books as told about the city of Harris
burg. From this infer that speeches
have been prepared for delivery here
tonight. Let me, therefore, defer the
treat in store for you only long enough
for me to compliment your town upon
its progressiveness: progressiveness
which, among other things, includes
more miles of first-class streets than
any city of it's size, not only in Penn
sylvania, but in all the United States.
You have taken the right course up
your way in making the knockers the
'croakers and the 'pullbacks' go way
back and sit down We need a little
more of that spirit in this community
at the present time. Whilst we are
forging ahead pretty rapidly. we are
not suffering severely from growing
pains We would mSrs whole lot
faster if we didn't po9 - much atten-
tion to the fellows Who are eternally
saying 1t can't be done You did 1t.
1t is true that the road led up hill all
the way but you took the Journey and
you've got the goods to show for it.
You appreciated more than ten years
ago just what we have begun to ap-
preciate within the last few years and
that is that in these twentieth CEN
tury days there is as much compe-
tition in town building as there is in
business building. The music of mu-
nicipal progress is not adapted to the
rhythm of the hesitation waltz"

Harrisburg in public improvements,
industry and business. In this connec-
ton he spoke in terms of very high
praise of the work of Mayor McClain

he fought for the Capitol Park extern
sion bill Mr.. Stackpole told Lancaster
people not to believe the occasional re-
port to the effect that Harrisb Lrg owed
its improvements not to this or that

to the splendid patriotism of all the
people. He illustrated Mayor Nc

The President could have hit upon
no more fitting finale for the meeting
than he did when he called upon Rob-
ert w. Hoy, of the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company. for the
last talk. AS he arose the Harrisburg
contingent shouted, Put it over, Bob
bie," and he did in great shape. One
funny story after another rolled freely
forth and his hearers were laughing
continually. In closing Mr.. Hoy re-
ferre1 to to-day's program and prophe-
sled a return to Harrisburg with
everyone full of happiness and profit
from their visit here.
The visitors will travel to-day
through the upper end of the county
and return TO Harrisburg way of
Lebanon and Hershey. under the guild
ance of Ed. Hillery. the Readings

Harrisburg Special
Visits the Quaint
Town of the Roses

Lebanon. Pa, May 21.-Lancaster
city, then Lancaster county's quaint
old rose and lavender town of Man
helm, then Lebanon-they all heard
at first hand about Harrisburg as a
business and. commercial center and
in turn showed Harrisburg's repre-
sentative business men their own in
dustrial and commercial advantages
to-day on the last leg of the two-day
trip of the business extension special
arranged by the Chamber of Com
merce of Harrisburg.
From Lebanon's county seat the
train will go to Harrisburg, stopping
en- route at Hershey. There the mem
bers of the party will have dinner and
inspect the great plant where is manu-
factured that commodity that made
M. s. Hershey very, very much of a
household and confectionery store
word.
II the ''pullback" or cynic or busi-
ness pessimist should gather up his
nerve sufficiently to quizz anyone of
the nearly a hundred of Harrisburg &
business men aboard as to the possible
benefits that may be derived from this
trip he'll get his answer unanimously
| and voluminously.
What Everybody Knows
That's the consensus of opinion OF
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-05-21

everybody on this particular string of
cars at any rate.
Following q trip over the city of
Lancaster this morning. the train
pulled out on its way into Lebanon
county while a big part of Lancaster
waved farewell. The whole train of
Harrisburg folks took along very. very
fond memories of Lancaster and Ian
caster folks.
The trip over the city was especially
enjoyable. Most every industrial or
manufacturing plant of any size or
interest was included in the tour. And
the only reason the visitors didn't get
look in at every Lancaster establish
ment was because the time was so linn
tied. AS it happened. the Harrisburg
men got a mighty excellent idea of
how well they do things in the city of
the roses
Where Mr.. Hershey Got His Start
OF particular interest, perhaps, was
the visit to the caramel factory where
NJ. S. Hershey got his early start as
the candy man of his time. It's a
mouth-watery sort of a place to visit
and the trainload of guests from the
Pennsylvania capital city enjoyed the
stop immensely.
Another point of much interest was
the Hamilton watch works. This was
probably the first time that most of
the Harrisburgers ever visited a fac
tory of the kind and for an hour the
visitors listened and watched the
wheels go round.
And after Lancaster-Manheim
The enterprising little Lancaster
county town that figures regularly in
the newspaper reports, particularly
when the entire town turns out to
pay that wonderful floral rental for
the land grant to the heirs of Baron
Steigel, was on hand en- masse to meet
the Harrisburg industrial extension
train.
AS Welcome as the Roses
From all indications the special was
surely as welcome as the roses for
which the town is so very famous.
From the time Burgess II. H. Bern
theizel extended Manheim's glad hand
down to the time the train pulled out
on its way here the townspeople surely
did all they could to prove what capt.
tai hosts they can be.
Mannheim is probably one of the
| oldest. IL not the Oldest, town in this
section of the country, having been
settled by Baron Steigel. Ever since
then the townspeople once each year
celebrate the festival of the roses

ment of the tribute of a single red

TO THE PRESIDENT.
A Letter from a Manufaoturers' As
ISOLATION That Should Hit Him Hard.

The Manufacturers Association OF
Montgomery county, Pa, which cre-
ated a stir last summer by sending a
letter to President Wilson complaining
about the condition of industry in the
Schuylkill Valley and asking him to
use his influence to have the Under
wood Tariff law repealed, has sent a
second communication to the Presi-
dent.
This letter recalls that the first one
went at a time when Pennsylvania
was in the midst Of bitter political
campaign. For that reason the Manu-
facturers' Association fears that the
President may have regarded 1t as a
political document. The election be-
ing over and no campaign imminent,
many of the prophesies Of disaster
contained in the first letter, 1t is de-
clared, having come true and none of
the administrations promises Of a
speedy readjustment of the new tariff
conditions having materialized, the
President is asked to consider the
matter again. simply as a business
proposition.
Following is the letter:
Hon. Woodrow Wilson.
