MISS AMANDA RAUCH.

It has been said every type of
human nature has been delin-
Gated in the Bible. AS we grow
more familiar with the Bible the
people we know naturally sug-
gest to us those Biblical types.
My aunt suggested to my mind
the apostle John. Like him she
possessed strong, firm charac-
ter with exceptional comprehen-
sion, intellectual force and exec
utive ability combined with I'M
questioned uprightness. The
possession of these qualities
| rather naturally leads to impa-
tience with the frailties of
others. It was only after Jesus
had breathed upon him the Holy
Spirit that John was the tender,
gentle apostle of love that we
have in mind when we speak of
the beloved disciple. None the
less the Holy Spirit evolved in
her this beautiful character.
Thus she became the embodi-
ment of unselfishness. No high
er compliment can be paid to any
human being.
Of all the apostles it was left
to John to irradiate the beauty
of a christians old age. And
here my aunt shone most. Al
though hers had been an ex-
tremely active life, when mac
tivity Vas forced upon her with
a wonderful repose she turned
the management of affairs over
to younger hands and, effacing
herself, accepted the ministry of
others. This self-effacement
nader her great.

Brandon Machinery & Lumber
Co., always ready to assist in
any enterprise looking to the
betterment Of our people, has
agreed to put in a plant if a
sufficient number of farmers
will plant rice. Rice is easily
grown in this section, and with
modern machinery for cleaning
it, we believe our people will be
glad of an opportunity to avail
themselves of this offer made by

Through the efforts of Robert
Burns, postmaster at Brandon,
the postoffice department has
granted a new Star route effec-
tive March 1st, 1914, for carry
| ing the mails from Johns, Miss.
| to Browns Box on Rual Route
No. 2 from Brandon, trip to be
made daily except Sunday. The
rider will meet Rural Carrier
Morris at Browns Box every
day at Ills and take all mails
for Johns and that section, thus
relieving situation that has
existed since the establishment
of the rural routes out of Bran
don. Under this new arrangements
all mails from Brandon will have
direct route, reaching its des-
tination the same day, whereas
under conditions that have ex-
listed for the past four or five
years all mails for that section
had to go by way of Jackson
and D'Lo, requiring two or
three days. Bids are being asked
for by the government for this
service, all bids to be received
at the department not later than
February 10, 1914, a bond OF
$500 for the faithful perfor-
nance of the dutier being re-
quired of the successful bidder.

CIVIL SERVICE RAID

President Wilson has always
been consistent and persistent
advocate of the merit system in
the civil service.
This. from the esteemed Patriot, is
rich reading in view of the lombard
ment of the civil service which has
characterized the present Administra-
tion at Washington almost from the
first day of its Inauguration. One
drive after another has been made
against the principle of the civil SER
vice and contrary to it's regulations
These instances are so frequent that
only a purblind organ of the Admin
istration would have the temerity to
make defense of it's course in this
matter.
Postmaster General Burleson has
very properly taken a position against
a rider on the post Office appropria-
tion bill, providing that assistant post
masters shall be taken out of the
classified service, but this action will
not excuse the wholesale raid that
has been on for months against every
principle of the civil service.

THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION
BY Wing Dinger.

Our live City Council is busy
With hundreds of things, that's a
fact,
But the new City Planning Commission
Is something on which it should act.
or course such body should number
The best men the town can afford,
And who could be found better fitted
Than those who made up the Park
Board?
They've given their time and their ef
forts
For many a year to the cause
That has helped everyone in the city,
And they haven't sought fame or
applause.
But rather to stay in the background,
They have in the past been content
And the pleasures they've brought to
the public
Arc the outcome OF money we'll spent
] think that the new City Council
With glory can cover itself,
BY naming the men of the Park Board
Whose thoughts are of others, not
self.
Let's have the new Planning Commits
sion
Let's have the men we know are
Let's all get together for progress.
And work toward that end Gay and
night.

PROBABLY NOT SIGNIFICANT
Pittsburgh Gazette-Timesl

A notification which Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer, of this State, is
said to have given Representative
Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, has
been interpreted to mean that Mr.. Pal
mer has made up his mind to be
candidate for something other than
his present seat in the House. He is
said to have told Mr.. Kitchin that he
will not compete with him for the
craftsmanship of the committee on
ways and means on the retirement of
Oscar w. Underwood. But this may
only mean that Palmer foresees the
impossibility of winning the chair
manship and House leadership which
goes with it against the North Caro-
linian, who is popular, who is the
ranking member of the committee
after Underwood and, under the usage
of the House, entitled to promotion,
and who is almost certain to have the
Southern representation solidly behind
him. Underwood has announced his
intention to retire from the House at
the end Of his present term if not
elected to the Senate, so that there
will be vacancy. Palmer may lave
discovered that a Pennsylvanian can
not win House leadership against a
Southerner and his determination not
to contest may have no relation what
ever to State politics.

Exceptions Taken to
Royal Five Claim;
Reasons Are Explained

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Sir--In your issue of the 21st in
slant you have a statement from the
manager of the John K. Royal basket
ball team with reference to the Has
sett Boys Club five's cancellation of
the game recently scheduled for the
Armory floor. The facts of the case
are as follows:
When the manager OF the John X.
Royal team interviewed the Hassett
Club manager he stated there would
be no other team representing the
Pennsylvania Railroad Young Mems
Christian Association than the Royal
team, and that under the name
chosen, because the P. II. r. Y. M. G. A.
would not have team representing
the association. For this reason the
Hassett management. while not ar
ranging a game definitely, neverthe-
less considered the proposition. But
when the P. r.. r. Y. M. G. A. put a
team on the floor and began playing
the Harrisburg and other fives the
Hassett management would not con-
slider a second team, which is what
the Royal team then became.
The Armory game was scheduled,
without the approval of the director
Of the Hassett Club. and for that rea-
son was cancelled. The Hassett Boys
Club five Is not second class team
and will not play between the halves
of any game in the city. The Hassett
management is willing to play the
Royals. If they are the representative
team of the p. r. r. Y. M. c. A., but
not in their present form as the scrub
team of the association. Further
more, the Hassett five is willing to
meet either the P. r. r. Y. M. c. A..
first team or the Harrisburg Col
legians, or any other first class team
in Harrisburg or vicinity on any floor
When the Royal team becomes first
class FIVE. the Hassett Club will con-
slider challenge.

Director Hassett Boys Club.

need, but nobody conversant with the
situation will agree that only one
safety crossing between Maclay street
and Lucknow will be sufficient to
meet the growing needs Of the West
End.
Harrisburg has spent thousands Of
dollars in the purchase and develop
Wildwood Park. Wildwood TO West
End people is what the River Park
is to those of the central part of
town, the Herr street Fairgrounds to
that section. Cameron parkway to
those Of the lower end. and Reservoir
Park to Allison Hill. But they are
separated from their park by the
right-of-way of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. Either they must go to Otis
lane or to Maclay street to get into
the park, if they do not care to run
the risk of life and limb crossing the
tracks of the railroad company ~
some point between. and even that =
impossible save at one or two place.
Harrisburg owes much to the PENN
sylvania Railroad Company and it
should stand ready at all times to do
what it can for the benefit of the
great corporation upon the prosperity
of which it SO largely depends, but
on the other hand the railroad com
pany owes to the city hearty co-opera-
tion in everything that will tend to
ia. IL ,.l- - z.:
dence for its hundreds of employees
and their families. Subways at Divi-
zion and Lewis streets, or at one of
the two, would be largely for the
benefit of the big railroad population
of the Tenth ward. There has been in
the past little demand for subways
or bridges above Maclay street, and
it is but natural for those responsible
for the management of the railroad
company to refrain from making large
expenditures for safety crossings that
were apparently so little needed that
they had not been sought by the pub
lie. But conditions are changed now.
The city is growing. Uptown people
are demanding means of crossing from
one side of the railroad to the other
above or below grade. 1t will be
cheaper to provide such means now
than when property values increase
and make the consequential damages
more than the nominal sum that they
would now involve. Doubtless the
railroad officials realize this and it
may be expected that those interested
will get together shortly on some rea-
sonable plan.

An unpopular poem in Harrisburg
"Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight"
THE "TUBs OF BIooDw

IT is not the Prohibitionists, the Anti
Saloon Leagues, the w. c. #. us
and the Loyal Temperance Legions
alone that are spreading the gospel
of temperance throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Liquor trade
publications are prone to rant and rail-
at what they choose to term the "fa-
natics' who are advocating restric-
tions in the sale of intoxicants. But
read this account of yesterday
"Gangster" murder in New York, as
reported by the New York World:
table In the rear room of a saloon
at the northeast corner of the
Bowery and Second street. At an
adjoining table were five men. The
room was heavy with smoke and
glasses of beer stood on the tables.
The place is known to the police as
"The Tub of Blood"
The men talked in whispers. One
of the men was addressed by the
others as "Gyp" The police say he
has been known as "Gyp the
Blood since the original "Gyp the
Blood" was sent to the death house
in Sing Sing for the murder OF
Rosenthal.
Also at the table drinking was
Thomas Murphy. machinist en-
ployed at No. 80 East Fourth street
and living at No. IS Stuyvesant
street
In the front of the saloon were
J. J. Crilly, proprietor of the place,
and his bartender, Joseph Mera.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-01-22

These two men and the three wo-
men. according to statements made
to the police, heard the man ad-
dressed as "Gyp' say to Murphy:
a. You sgueaied and sent him up
The Ave. men arose from the
table and Murphy stretched out
friendly hand, but 'Gyp" did not
take It, Instead, he drew a re-
bullet took effect in Murphy, who
erumpled up and fell to the floor.
He died instantly.
Z There is temperance sermon for
you!
The Tubs of Blood are the great
est temperance advocates in the coun-
try. Their voices are being raised
more loudly in the land than that OF
the most eloquent Prohibition lecturer
that ever addressed an audience. THE
Tubs of Blood legalized hell
holes where men and women congre-
gate together for all the crimes that
the calendar knows-these are the in
fluences that are working for prohibit
ton as never lprohibitionists worked.
il those who are powerful in the
counsels of the liquor-selling interests
arc wise they will pay more attention
to abolishing the Tubs of Blood"
than to making futile replies to the at
tacks of those who are bending their
efforts toward the enactment of laws
In restraint of the saloon.

Now that the poles are being re-
moved from the streets OF Harrisburg,
let the Improvement go on until the
last pole shall have disappeared May
we not hope that the Superintendent
of Highways and Public Works will at
once discover what corporation poles
have not been marked for slaughter and
see to it that they all come down? There
should be no discrimination in the
passing of the poles. One corporation
is the same as another when it comes
to public Improvement of this char
acter.
