A FACE AT CHRISTMAS

A white face at the glowing window
A face of Failure, weary and ILL
SCARED;
Nor can the merry holly shut it out.
Nor the bright Tree, flame dressed
and candle-starred.
Eyes at our window, hearts! Nor all
the light
OF all our wicks can touch them
into gleam
Deep in their dusk soul with empty
lamp
Kneels at the crumbled altar of a
Dream.
How can give the Gifts of cloth and
gold?
How give but dress who might give
paradise?
My brothers. hurt laid at my door, is
Myself in judgment startles from
his eyes.
Myself and more! Myself and all
mems selves
Bound in that look of his-that
weary nod;
one bruised soul shall don
the worlds defeat,
Yet all souls share 1t. And the
sharing;s God!
A white face at my Threshold. Fling
the door
A house withholden is a house for
sin!
Call to the Tramp. .. Yet bark, what
voice replies?
What light leaps up, what Shining
Guest comes in?

DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR
Makes It Dull, Brittle, LifeIess, and
Causes 1t to Fall Out

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for 1t will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy 1t entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
Iy dissolve, and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it,
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair will be silky, fluffy, lus-
trous, soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and four ounces Is all you will
need. no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
ils.-Advertisement.

AS TO THE FORESTER

HILE the friends Of the Shade
wv Tree Commission law are
wv somewhat disappointed over
a compromise measure of the
City Council, creating a forester for
Harrisburg and defining his powers.
there would seem to be no occasion
for the feverish criticism of the mo-
tives of those who supported the for
ester proposition.
Inasmuch as majority of the City
Council determined to try the forester
plan as against the commission idea,
it is hardly fair to accuse those who
voted for this measure of corporation
control and indifference to the city's
interests.
AS has been indicated by the Tele-
graph in previous references to this
subject, 1t is only fair and just that
the proposed forester, when appoint
ed, shall have the support and CO.
operation of the people, and rant and
criticism because the City Council did
not adopt the Shade Tree Commission
law viii serve no good purpose at
this time. All that the public de-
mands. and which has been pledged.
is the appointment of a thoroughly
competent forester.

PARTY UNIETCATTON

HE little band of Progressives
in session at Chicago yesterday
i represents the pitiful remnant
of what in 1912 had all the ap-
pearance of a formidable political
organization. Not even a message
from the erstwhile chieftain of Oyster
Bay came to cheer the dreary assem-
blage. And the committeeman in at
tendance pretended, at least, to be
frightened out of their boots by the
shadow of ex-President Taft, cast
across the gathering place as a posi-
BILE Republican Presidential candidate
in 1916.
No harmony with the Republican
party is possible with Taft in the
field, the Progressives told each other.
The truth is that the name of the de-
feated candidate for a second term
was dragged into the conference
merely for the purpose of giving the
leaders an excuse to declare against
unification with the old party, which
is rapidly going on through the in
strumentality of the rank and file and
against the wishes and endeavors of
those who still delude themselves with
the thought that the Progressive party
still possesses the elements of success.
Johnson, Pinchot, Perkins, Finn
and others have no use for the Re-
publican party because they realize
that to return they must do so as
privates in the ranks. Their days of
temporary leadership are rapidly
drawing to a close in the party of their
own making and their generalship has
been so fraught with disaster to them
selves and their followers that there
can be no excuse for Republicans ac-
cepting them as advisors or lieuten-
ants. They have been thoroughly dis
credited at the polls and it would be
flying in the face of popular sentiment
for the party which they tried to
scuttle to consider at this time any
terms for their surrender.
With the rank and file of the Pro-
gressive party it is different. The Re-
publican organizations, State and ma
tional, are proceeding along liberal
lines. Every effort is being made to
reconcile party management and
party platforms with the views of that
large percentage of voters who regis
tered their objections to the old order
by temporarily leaving the reservation
two years ago. That the rank and file
have recognized and approved of what
has been going on under the direction
of this wise leadership is evident by
the wonderful back to the party move
ment that swept the country in No
vember.
The unifcation of the Republican
and Progressive parties is proceeding
along natural and effective lines. The
Progressive bosses need not trouble
themselves to declare for or against 1t.
They may rave against 1t to their
hearts content, but their cries will
be as futile as were those that pre-
ceded the recent elections.

It. r.. A PRIVATE CITIZEN


Armageddon, or what is left of IT.
reconvenes to-day at Chicago. n the
great leader of the embattled host is
absent from the gathering, the reason
is well understood by the Bull Moose
legions as we'll as by the rest of the
world. Theodore Roosevelt is not at
this time in politics. He is for the
moment private citizen of the pri-
vatest sort We are not disposed to
regard this somewhat unusual phe-
nomenon as evidence of extinction or
even of total eclipse; it seems to par
take more of the character of efficient
preparedness. Our own unsolicited
opinion. private opinion of the pri-
vatest sort, is that Colonel Roosevelt's
next temperance will be in the old
familiar act of sue-snatching; the
victim once more, as so many times be-
fore. being the unfortunate Mr.. w. ].
Bryan.
we venture the prediction that the
next snatched issue by which Colonel
Roosevelt is to profit politically at the
expense of Mr.. Bryan will be the en-
actment of Prohibition in the fIinda-
mental law by means of an amend ment
of the Federal Constitution.

THE KAMPAIGN KAT

Expense accounts, of folks who ran
For office some weeks back,
Have for the past few days been filed
And make good sized stack.
But there is one that's not been filed
Up to last night, and gee,

The Kampaign Kat win be.
But by the morrow 1 should know.
For this is the last day
For Ming of expense accounts

Just think bit and see
How closely you can guess the size
The Kampaign Kat will be.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADs

~ OLONEL GEORGE HARVEY
in his recent analysis of the
- results of the election intimated
that President Wilson would be
justified in recommending to Congress
the abolition of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. In view of what
has transpired during the last year.
and by reason of its continued arbi-
trary and inconceivable course of ac-
tion. Colonel Harvey will have plenty
of company in his attitude toward
this remarkable body.
On top of an Administration war
tax in time of peace and in further
aggravation of repeated offenses, this
commission, absolutely irresponsive
to public sentiment, persists in it's see
saving and delay at the expense of
the business of the country. Referring
to its latest performances, the Phila-
delphia Ledger says:
What was virtually direct COM
mand issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission has resulted in
over the eastern and Central terri
ritory. At the very same time by
a. stroke of the pen the commits
SiOH SuSpenuS All increase III IISlBhl
rates in the western district.
If this all-powerful body had de-
Hberately set out to. create the
greatest possible annoyance to the
country 1t could have chosen no
better method of accomplishing that
result than is found in its recent
procedures. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has stubbornly
stood between 100,000,000 people
and their only chance of a quickly
revived business of all kinds.
Instead of bothering with the in
dependence of the Filipinos, who are
not ready for independence and may
involve the United States in Oriental
difficulties. the President might better,
in his message to Congress next week,
urge the prompt repeal of the act cre-
ating the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. When men appointed for GER
tain specific duties involving the public
welfare so far forget the real purpose
of their appointment as to constitute
themselves a supreme power it is about
time they should suffer official decapi-
tation.
