STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger Boy
By the Messcnger BoY


Most every auto and taxi in town
was lined up last night to take the
society folks to Chestnut street market
house to hear Jawn Mccormack sing
his Irish songs; and he can sing EN-
too.
How I happened to be among the
hiSh-heel society was like this-I was
invited by Jawn himself to hear him.
In the afternoon | took a message to
him and he asst me how l was, and I
said alright for an Irishman, which
made him laff. He said, what part
of the good old isle are We from, me
bhoy?' My ancestors was Corkon-
ians," said l, and he laffed again and
said he was Irish too.
He asst me If liked music and I said
/ liked to whsle and sing on dark
nights when nobody was around; so
he gave me pass to hear him and /
did. Jawn Mccormack can sing some.
When he sings it makes YOU think
solemn of all the things you ever was
and all the things you ever hoped to
be, and you start to dream and dream
far away about things that don't come
in your head ordinary You forget
you're just in Harrisburg and you feel
like you're livin away up above every
thing and can see down on everything
that's happenin, and youdon't think
of Jawn Mccormack. man on the
stage, but you think jist of a voice up
there that spreads over everything and
takes you out of yourself and makes
you dream big things like the preach
er tries to talk about but can't tell.
1t beats pianna played in the par
Ter, or phonygraff, or brass band
at dance, and we wish more people
like Mccormack would come to town
to sing for us. I know lots of Irish

GETTING UNDER WAY

| @ITY SOLICITOR DANIEL s
SEITZ is losing no time in get.
~ ting under way the plans sc
wisely approved by Council OF
| Tuesday for the improvement of the
| Hardscrabble district. Within two
weeks the solicitor will apply to the
| Dauphin County Court for the APP
| pointment of viewer to assess benefits
and damages incident to the taking
over by the city of the properties along
the west side of Front street between
Calder and Herr streets. in order that
Park Commissioner Taylor may pro-
ceed with the formal opening of the
river front between those points from
the western curbline to low water
mark.
One of the most interesting features
of Mr. Seitzs plan is that the bond
issue which may be required to insure
the prompt purchase of the desired
houses and land can be f1oated by the
city without resort to popular vote. In
making this clear TO Council Mr.. Seitz
points out that Harrisburg is a half
million dollars at least within the bor-
rowing limit beyond which it could
not so without putting a bond issue
up to the voters.
When the first and succeeding pub
lie improvement loans were before the
people, those who opposed them did
so largely on the ground that by their
approval the city would be placed
under such a burden of debt that it
would be well-nigh bankrupt before
improvements contemplated were COM
pleted, How inaccurate these esti-
mates were is shown by the fact that
not only have we cleared away our
Indebtedness as fast as had been esti-
mated by those back of the improve
ment campaigns, but we have gotten
rid of our debts more rapidly than we
have been making them, notwith-
standing that we have never paused
for a moment in the prosecution OF
those great enterprises in which we
as a city have been engaged for al
most fifteen years.
1t is gratifying indeed to those who
have had the improvement of Harris
burg at heart and who urged the
voting of large sums for public work
to find the city at this time over
100000 within its borrowing capacity.

he has anything to say that his
suggestions in regard to the ways and
means of financing the States highway
proposition are worthy OF the most
careful attention. 1t is we'll recognized
now that the Commonwealth will not
have as much money to appropriate as
it had two years ago. No doubt, the
Auditor General will do as his prede-
cessors have done and discover some
money not calculated in the estimate
about the time the Governor comes to
sign appropriation bills. At present,
however, the outlook is that the State
will have to skim along on reduced
income, and, like the man who in
tended TO buy an automobile before
he figured out his income, will suffer
disappointments. Some suggestions
about increase OF revenue are being
exploited just now, some for the

no means of knowing, it is surmised
that the collection of the tax is not

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TTs
by Wing Dinger

There is a big convention
Now being held in town,
Some hundred School Directors.
From upstate and from down,
Are here to solve the problems
That come UP every day
In bringing up me youngster
In quite the proper way.
1 think they'll be kept busy,
Because l have two boys
Who constantly are making
y lot of deafening noise,
Or raising Cain of some kind
The minute they're let loose
When young. l guess l did it
But now there's no excuse.
Ive tried all kinds of methods
To make them change their ways,
I've plead in manner kindly
Into my eyes they'd gaze,
And when l calmly wound up
With Wont you please behave?"
One or the other answered.
Say, Dad. you need "a shave"
Good luck to the Directors.
l hope they find some way
OF getting little kiddies
To properly obey.
Their work I'd not discourage.
But youngsters will have fun,
And all efforts to stop them
Are useless-can't be done.
