HE n1uTQeT OF ATCnuuhe fTdnclS
Ferdinand, heir to the Austria
Hungarian throne, and the
Duchess of Hohenberg, his NOR
ganatic wife, marks another tragic
period in the tempestuous career of
the aged Emperor Francis Joseph.
The hand of the slayer has been raised
constantly against the venerable ruler
and his family. He and his have lived
in continual fear of death.
The disappearance of Archduke
John, which still ranks among the
great international. mysteries that
never may be solved, was even more
of shock to the Emperor than the
execution of his brother before the
rifle squad of band of Mexican reyo-
lutionists. The mesalliance of the
Archduke Henry with a notorious
singer and the strange death of Arch
duke Rudolph, the Emperor's only son,
and his sweetheart, Baroness Vestera,
who were found dead together, were
added sorrows in the life of Franz
Joseph.
Growing all his other griefs, how
ever, came the assassination of his be-
loved wife, the Empress, as she was
. leaving Geneva, Switzerland, after an
outing, at the hands of an anarchist,
who stabbed her to death. And now
comes the death of the heir presump-
tive, and while there have been per-
sistent rumors of ill-feeling between
the Emperor and the Archduke, there
can be no doubt that the blow will be
sufficient to shorten the fast waning
life of the venerable ruler.
The murdered Archduke was one of
the most mysterious personages of
royal rank in Europe. lie had few
friends and his views on national sub
jects were unknown to the masses,
although recently it has been rumored
that he was under cover taking a more
prominent part in the ruling of the
empire than the aging ruler himself
The new heir, on the other hand
~-Charles Francis Joseph, son of the late
Archduke Otto Francis Joseph, brother
of the man slain yesterday, is well
known and liked by the people. He is
a man of considerable force. is studious
and fond Of art and travel. He is
thoroughly conversant with the affairs
of his own country and the politics of
Europe.
A vast responsibility rests on the
, shoulders of the young man. 1t has
been reported that a break between
Austria and Hungary might follow the
death of Francis Joseph. Archduke
Francis Ferdinand had foreseen such
contingency, it is said, and one of
his reasons for dipping into politics
s while Francis Joseph was still living
was to entrench himself so strongly
that his elevation to the throne would
find him ready for any emergency. 1t
is significant as indicating the social
unrest of the allied countries that the
tragedy of yesterday occurred while
the Archduke and Duchess were on
their annual visit to the annexed prov
inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

WE CAUGHT A FISH
BY Wing Dinger

We went out fishing Saturday,
My kid and I. and say
never had so much real fun
AS l had on that day.
We fished and fished, but got no bites
From one o'clock to four.
But then the biggest fish that swan
Was hooked and brought to shore.
A sunfsh just four inches lon~
From nose to tip of tail,
But, gee, it was the kids first fish,
To him 1t was a whale.
A yell went forth that could be heard
At least a mile away.
And you can bet a goodly sum
We fished no more that day
Twas pack up quick and start righ
home.
l. want to show the boys
The fish caught and round our way
He was the real big noise.

WHEN ONE is LONESOME

When one is feeling lonesome, down
and out, get something soft and
punch it about.
When you're feeling blue and your
friends are gone, write letter, tear
it up, then you've won,
That's what you want when you feel
that way.
If you hurt some ones feelings you're
sorry some day,
So just be as mad as you want-in
your she'll
Nor let any cne see, and don't ever
tell.
Eureka! the blues vanished-now go
to that friend,
Forgive him and well-oh, we'll, that's
the end.

In gay and satiric vein Mr.. Street
plays host to the stranger in New York
and pilots him through our city. AS
he shows him the sights he speaks
across his shoulder, explaining the
genial folly of his guest. THE New
York way is his theme-the way
some strangers think they must be-
have If they would avoid being taken
for strangers. And with the guest
comes his wife, who is tearfully sur
prised at her husbands unbridled zeal
for spending. This is comedy in the
best of good humor and yet with its
lesson. The mirror is held UP by the
jester and New York sees itself.

DIR. SMITHS RESIGNATION

HIRE will be sincere and general
regret throughout the city over
the decision of the Rev. Dr. ].
Ritchie Smith to accept his cleo
ton to the chair of homiletics at the
Princeton Theological Seminary This
regret, however, is not unmixed with
congratulation over the choice of one
so admirably qualified as DR.. Smith
for this important chair. The loss
of Harrisburg is the gain of the semi
nary.
DR.. Smith has been prominent in the
civic activities of Harrisburg as well
as it's religious enterprises. He has
become so much a part of what may
be termed the spiritual machinery of
the city that his going will be dis
tinct loss to the community. His
strength in the pulpit has been no
greater than his influence outside.

PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING

~ USINESS men and men of affairs

N rising in protest against con-
tinuance of the visionary gov

organs claim that all criticism of the
President is based on politics, but

nounced among men of all parties that
it is no longer possible to excuse the
President and relieve him of the LASH
ing of distracted business by raising
the political issue. If it is a political
issue, then it Is made SO by the Presi-
dent himself and those who constantly
echo his opinions.
His Psychological theories and his
denunciation of business men and
working men who have had the
temerity to appeal to him to give the
country rest, while his Secretary of
State has been advising the Wilson
following throughout the country to
lombard Congress with kilograms urg-
House to stand by the President, and
his general attitude of indifference to
the brainy commercial and industrial
leaders who happen to differ with him
and his policies have led to many such
paragraphs as the following from an
editorial in the Public Ledger of Phila-
delphia:
The question of high tariff or low
tarim is ceaslng to be the vital one
in this country. The great issue
that is terminating concerns the
preservation of Americanism, of the
essentials of free government of

So far as Pennsylvania is concerned,
its industries have been buffeted and
its prosperity prostrated by the free

tration, which fallacies are proclaimed
by Palmer and Mccormick, the hand
picked candidates of the President, as
the very essence of wisdom. This
State is tired of the Wilson expert
ments and November cannot come too
soon for the thousands of voters of all
parties who have determined now
without any further discussion to put
the seal of their disapproval upon the
whole program, including the free
trade tariff law. the Panama Canal
tolls. the Colombia apology and graft,
and all the rest Of it.

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Though chaos and confusion
Upon the earth I see.
Yet still they seem illusion
Unto the soul Of me.
Though race with race Is striving
And conflicts do not cease,
I feel that right is thriving
hear the voice of Peace.
I know the wrongs existing
And growing hour by hour.
And yet my faith, persisting,
Sees justice high in power;
I hear the voice of Reason
Enumerating ills;
But doubt of God seems treason,
And trust my bosom thrills.
Though nation wars with nation
And men in darkness grope,
A curious exaltation
Gives pinions to my hope.
Though sorrows and disasters
Descend upon our sphere,
My faith in wisdom masters
All sentiments Of fear.
Along this world benighted.
Where clouds and shadows roll,
One narrow path is lighted
For each immortal soul.
The path of Loves endeavor,
To show the God within,
And who walks there will never
Be slave of fear or sin.
Mine is the mind of woman,
No logic in it's store;
But, ah! my heart is human
And love is at it's core.
The earth is Gods expansion,
And love is all it needs,
And this is faiths confession
OF what it lacks in creeds.

The sun shines out as soft as when

Yet still sit. with saddened heart,
Beneath the linden tree,
Where months ago we met to part
Beside the river Dee.
Then take, my love, the humble rose
That 7 have pluck'd for thee;
'Tis sacred with my love which flows
Changeless as bonnie Dee.

And yet, my love, may be,
Twill make to life each happy hour
Beside the river Dee.
