CONGOS HOLD
ANNUAL PICNIC

The Congregational Church Sunday
School had an ideal day for their
picnic, July 16, which was held in
Warmers Grove. Almost all known
conveyances, ancient and modern
were utilized in getting one hundred
"picnickers" to the grove. After
dinner the sports began with a fast
and exciting ball game between the
Orphans and Wanderers with a line
up as follows:
Orphans Wanderers
G. Mosher, C 6. N. Dale,

r. Skinner, Id G. Emery, ID

c. Foster, S S A.W. .Bosw tn, IS S
Umpire, Miss Amy Edmands; Scorer,
Mrs. C. j. Earl. The score was.
Orphans, 9; Wanders, 5.
The Wanderers say that the UNI
piring was ragged, decisions being
loud but doubtful, and that the
scorer was ratified. Owing to the
fact that most of the players had
overworked in disposing of a bounti-
full dinner, the game had to be called
off in the middle of the third inning
to avoid sending for the undertaken.
After the ball game a schedule of
sports was run off in charge of w. IF
Morong, in which both young and old
enthusiastically contested for the
many useful and valuable trophies
offered. Following is a list of the
successful victims:

GETTING TOGETHER

THERE is disposition among Re-
publicans everywhere to forget
i the differences of the last two
years and unite solidly and har-
moniously for the great battle of 1916.
Here in Pennsylvania the third party
movement has about exhausted itself
and we shall not be greatly surprised
TO see a substantial reunion of all the
elements believing in Republican prin.
ciples.
During the approaching session of
the Legislature we doubt not that Re-
publicans and third party men and
scores of broad-minded Democrats will
join forces in putting into concrete
form those measures which seem to
have had the endorsement of people
at the recent election. Purely hys-
terical and fad legislation should have
little consideration. All classes of our
citizens realize that it is now time to
quit riding hobbies and build up in
substantial and constructive fashion
the best interests of the Common
wealth.
This commission has been given to
the Republican party and we believe
| it will have the earnest support of
those men who have been somewhat
out of joint with the party organ
ization for the last two years.

STILL EXPLAINING

- EMOCRATIC newspapers and
their weakling imitators are
- striving hard to have it appear
that the Republican press of the
country purposely distorted the facts
regarding the industrial situation for
the benefit of Republican candidates
and that every effort was made to
create an impression of industrial
stagnation to injure the Democratic
ticket. These newspapers can extract
all the comfort they may out Of this
sort Of fiub-dub. They are only de-
ceiving themselves.
Business men in the larger cities
and industrial centers have already
declared that the results of the cleo
ton last Tuesday have manifested
themselves in renewed confidence and
a hopeful attitude on the part of
manufacturing and commercial inter-
ests. Business men don't shut down
factories and close their mills for po-
litical effect.
1t were better for these embarrassed
apologists Of the Wilson admins
tration that they turn their attention
to something more profitable than ex-
cuses for what happened last Tues
day.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-11-10

invited to the sessions to learn from
national experts how to extend the
sale of Pennsylvania products overseas.
The newspapers of the country are
filled with accounts of the opportuni-
ties of the United States abroad, but
the half has not been told. We are on
the eve of such a trade expansion in
foreign countries as the world has
never seen. While European aspirants
for commercial supremacy are anni-
hilating each other on the field of
battle we in America are strengthening
our banking and currency sytems, in
vestigating foreign needs and plannins
to meet the requirements of the mar.
kets of our neighboring nations. We
have the mills and the resources. but
we are still woefully lacking as to
knowledge of needs and tastes of the
people to whom we seek to cater.
The Chamber is to bring to us men
who know the conditions we will have
to meet: who will outline for us some
future customers. who know what they
will buy and what they will not buy.
This is highly important at this time
and in arranging for the conference
in Harrisburg the Chamber not only
recognizes its duty to our own manu-
facturers but lays emphasis on the fact
that Harrisburg is the great trade ana
manufacturing center of Central Penn
sylvania.

EMBERS-EL of the Senate
MI and House of Representatives
IV in this State are coming
promptly to the front with as
surances of support for the Governor
elect and the platform upon which he
firmly stood during the campaign.
While there is here and there a note
of disagreement regarding the local
option proposition. the legislators for
the most part are in hearty sympathy
with the plans and purposes of the
such a thorough grasp and appre-
citation of the problems that confront
the Legislature and the Executive that
the lawmaking department is evidently
determined to be guided largely by
him in the enactments OF the ap-
preaching session.
DR.. Brumbaugh has given no sign
since election of what may be con-
tanned in his first message. but the
people may rest assured that it will be
a straightforward. sensible and prac-
tical document covering the principles
for which the Governor-elect has stood
and will continue TO stand during his
administration.
That is a wholesome sign which is
contained in more or less authori-
tative statement that the Republican
leaders are favorable to a short ses-
sion of the Legislature. There is no
occasion for any prolonged deliberation
of the lawmakers. We have already
too many laws, and only those bills
necessary to correct existing statutes
or put into effective shape the party
promises and pledges.
As for local option, the Governor
elect is certain to do everything within
his power to bring about a submission.
of the question to the people. While
the attitude of the managers of the
Anti-Saloon League was ineXcusable
and inconceivably stupid throughout
the campaign, the honest supporters of
local option will do everything within
their power to have the matter deter
mined once for all by the incoming
Legislature. The Telegraph still be-
lieves that even the liquor interests
should realize the futility of an ir-
reconcilable opposition to the measure.
/ 1t will mean either local option or
statewide prohibition, and those op-
posed to local option must determine
which horn of the dilemma they prefer
to take. Statewide prohibition is not
| regarded with favor by many reason
able people, but the principle of local
option-the right of every community
to say whether or no liquor shall be
sold within the confines of that COM
munity-is so absolutely fair that it
must in the end prevail.

PARTY REUNION

Scranton Tribune-Republican
1t is time for the Republicans and
Progressives in this country to get to-
gether, in preparation for the national
battle of 1916. If there are ills with
in the party they can be cured from
within, rather than from without. II
ought not to be difficult to adjust the
differences now existing between the
party of Lincoln, Mckinley and Grant
and the outshoot of that party that
headed the revolt in 1912.
In fact and in perfect truth to-day
there are no real differences between
Republicans and Progressives. Both
parties are heartily in favor of the re-
form laws that they have helped write
into the national and State statutes.

AS TT LOOKS NOW

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press reviewing the
election results:
"In all the country east of the Mis-
sissippi River. the States that have
been the bone and sinew of the Re-
publican party are back again at the
old fireside, and by margins that show
they are there to stay. The great
States of the Union, like Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio and Illinois came
back with a rush that dumfounded
alike the Progressives and the Demo-
Gratis.
"In New York the Republican tri-
umph was complete, and against the
vigorous and united effort of the ad-
ministration, assisted by the personal
campaign of Mr.. Roosevelt himself.
The Pennsylvania figures speak more
eloquently than any mere words can
do. In New Jersey the Democratic
slogan was support your President" !"
and the voters tore to shreds the ban
ner which bore it"

COME TO HARRISBURG

-HE Evening Ledger of Philadel.
phia complains that the mu-
i sicians of that city find parading
on the streets dangerous. Walk
ing along at the head of professions,
says the Ledger. with eyes fixed on
their music sheets. the bands encoun-
ter not a little danger of sprained
ankles from the wretched condition of
the highways.
We sympathize with Philadelphia.
Long. long years ago we in Harrisburg
used to have streets like that. We
don't like to boast and far be it from
us to detract one whit from the attrac-
tions and pleasures of the Quaker City,
but we see no other way out of it than
to have all future Philadelphia parades
held in Harrisburg. No danger of
sprained ankles from bad streets here.
We refer the bandmen of Philadelphia
to the thousands who marched in the
recent firemen's parade over fourteen
miles of streets with nary a depression
along the entire route.

"HE TELEGRAPH has good news
for its readers who did not find
= opportunity to give their share
toward the relief of the starving
thousands of Belgium. Another relief
ship is to sail from Philadelphia fol-
lowing the Thelma, and the Telegraph
will continue to represent the Phila-
delphia Relief Committee in Central
Pennsylvania. So send in your cash,
you belated ones, whether the sum
be large or small.
Think of It, thousands upon thou
sands of homeless women, children
and babies scarcely able to toddle are
wandering amid the frozen fields and
along the desolate roads of Belgium
without a place to sleep and without
money or food. Unless America comes
TO their rescue they must die the hor-
rible death of cold and starvation.
Harrisburg has already given gen.
erously, but only a very small fraction
of our people have responded. We
do not believe there is one among US
who could sit comfortably down to
his evening meal tonight without
having given toward this Belgian re-
lief fund if he fully realized that in
that far-off country boys and girls are
gathered helplessly weeping about
hopeless mothers, begging for food
which must come from America if
they are to escape starvation.
Five cents will buy a meal of bread
and beans for hungry little Belgian
hoy or girl. Six dollars and forty
cents will buy barrel of flour. If you
can give but nickel, give that, re-
membering the potency OF the widows
mite and the measure OF her cruise.
Do not hesitate to- give because, the
amount is small. If you were starving
and somebody hesitated to give you a
loaf of bread because he did not have
the price of a barrel of flour, what
would you think of him?

GIVE-GIVE-GIVE
BY Wing Dinger

Suppose to-day you and your family
We're compelled to quit your home,
Taking just what you could carry
And the country forced to roam
With no friend whom you could call oi
To grant shelter to your kin,
But on all sides witness thousands
Who the same sad plight were in.
That's the fate of the poor Belgians.
Who through no fault of their own
Have been robbed of all possessions.
Left to suffer and to moan.
without food and without shelter,
And in many cases, too.
With the father dead. or facing
Death with patriotism true.
Think 1t over. do 1t quickly.
Then dig down into your jeans,
Give some coin to fill the "TheIma"-
You can help to be the means
That will aid some fellow creature.
Who is struggling now to live
Give a nickel, dime or dollar
Much or little-only GIVE.

Fall and Winter
Intimacy

With the shortening of days
comes a closer family intimacy
long beautiful hours to be spent
costly in the home. How to oc-
' cupy these hours with profit and
pleasure will soon be the obsorb-
ing question.
And surely READING (Which,
by the way, has never really
gone out of style) is a form of
diversion that is both profitable
and enjoyable.
Books of travel, history, and
art; books of love, romance. adj
venture: books of poetry, science,
psychology; books of philosophy;
books of wars-all of these, or
some of these, or one of these,
read aloud to the family. or di-
gested slowly and thoroughly by
oneself, will make the long
evenings pass happily and quick
ly.
The advertising columns of the
Telegraph are the literary cata-
logues of the book k-loving public.
