Tomorrow will be a great day in the
schools of the city. Lincoln's birth
day has come to be as widely cele-
brated as that of Washington, except
that exercises of a patriotic nature
are held instead of observing a general
holiday. Especially is the occasion en-
joyed by the little folks of foreign
birth who throng the schools in some
quarters of Harrisburg. Strange as it
may seem they are far more eager to
learn of American history and histori-
cal personages and incidents than is
the native-born youth. Possibly this
appears to be true because the native
lad and lassie have these things
preached into them from their baby
hood, but at all events the little for
eigner is keener to hear and learn.
The teachers respond to this desire
and do all in their power to make the
exercises attractive. Pictures of Lin
coin are displayed on walls and black
boards, Lincoln songs are sung and
Lincoln stories told and read. Many
a tiny tot from a humble home gets II
new idea of the possibilities of his own
future when teacher tells him the
story of the great Lincoln's early
struggles and pictures for him the
tumble down backwoods cabin that
this man of destiny in his childhood
called home.
Among the visitors to the city yes
terday were DIR. James Il. Ely, the
moving spirit in the famous Lemon
Hill meetings in Philadelphia. DIR. Ely
called upon Governor Brumbaugh
whom he has known for many years in
Philadelphia matters. 1t was the first
visit the doctor had paid to Harris
burg for long time and he much ad-
mired the Capitol.
Just as an instance of how the farm
ers are using automobiles 1t may be
stated that there were a dozen mar
ket wagon automobiles about one of
the city markets yesterday. A few
years ago one would have been a
novelty and attracted much attention.
Professor w. S. Steele, principal of
the Central High school who had been
i'll at his home, 1922 State street, for
several months, has returned to re-
sumo his duties again at the institu-
ton. Although he will not take full
charge for some time yet, his advice
is found helpful and all members of
the faculty were glad to see him at
his old post. The students, too. who
have missed his presence are glad to
know that he will be on hand for the
remainder of this term. Now that first
term examinations are completed, the
seniors are beginning to bring up their
affairs preparatory to commencement
exercises in June, and each week COM
mittees are meeting and making plans
for the one big event in the life of q
high school student. Much credit is
due to Miss Anna NJ. Saul, secretary
at the school. who took Professor
Steel's place during his absence, and
managed the school so we'll in addi-
ton to her regular duties.

Don't Be Fooled
With Substitutes

When you ask for an arti-
Gle you saw advertised in this
newspaper. insist on getting
what you ask for.
If the dealer offers something
Just as good" you have a right
to view him with suspicion.
The advertised article has be-
hind 1t definite name.
1t is backed by a reputable
maker. Its pedigree is assured.
The substitute has only the
dealers word to recommend 1t
and selling it means more profit
to him.
Offering things Just as good"
is a practice not tolerated by
reputable dealers.

HE NEEDS A REST

w THEN a man remains at work
M too long at stretch, he loses
w his efficiency. He sees things
at distorted angles. His vi
sion becomes warped. lie lacks the
proper perspective. This is true with
out exception. The only remedy is a
long distance view of the job. Things
that looked big close at hand are apt
to lose in relative size as they are
merged into the general scheme. Big
men as well as little men suffer from
this form of mental eyestrain. Indeed,
none is so big as to escape it, and fire.

TAFT ONLY REAL STATESMAN


II is a curious fact that eX-President
Taft, recently the most discredited
man in the country, is displaying
the only craftsmanship worthy of
the name in this benighted era. Above
the fog of theory and plain bulheaded
obstinacy at Washington, the light of
his statecraft shines clear and bright.
At every turn since the outbreak of
the war his judgment has been good.
While the administration has been
heading straight for international
complications, Taft would steer for
the quiet waters of true neutrality.
While the President pleads with the
people to be neutral" he takes no
steps to halt the export of millions of
dollars worth of the munitions of war
to the contesting nations.
The man who knowingly provides
gun for the purpose of murder is
guilty under the law with the man
who uses 1t. That illustrates the posi-
tion of the United States with relation
to the present war. We profess to be
neutral, yet we provide both sides with
weapons with which to kill each other.
Elk President Taft would compel per-
feet neutrality by making it illegal to
export munitions to the countries at
war All other considerations aside,
the United States ought ITO be above
taking blood-money.

EVENING Chat

Members of the Legislature from
third-class cities are following with
considerable amusement the develop
ments in Harrisburg's city council be-
cause the same thing is going on in
most of the cities of the same grade in
the State. The incidents of the last
few days have been much commented
upon at the Capitol and comparisons
drawn with doings in the other cities.
Most of the legislators from cities are
watching the way Harrisburg works
under the commission government
with much interest because of the gen.
orally admitted fact that Harrisburg
was more successful than any other
city under the old acts. In fact, the
experience of this city will be drawn
upon in committee hearings on pro-
posed changes in the third class city
code. Some of the legislators tell in
teresting stories about the contests for
council seats in their homes and all
agree that the salary feature is a pow
erful incentive in getting men to run,
although in nine out of ten cases 1t is
freely admitted that the men of busi-
ness experience that it was hoped to
attract did not. land in office. Others
tell of squabbles in the council over
trivial matters and some say that
councilmen wish for larger bodies be-
cause they would have more men with
whom to talk over their problems. The
plan for a council based on ward rep
resentation is expected to make its ap-
pearance.

Augustus III. Kreidler, senior men,
ber of the grocery firm losers by fire on
Monday night, is a great admirer of
pets. He has had at the store for
sometime large maltese cat known as
kitty" After business place has
been badly damaged by fire, one would
suppose that the first thing proprie-
tor does is to ascertain his losses. Not
Gus" Kreidler, however. After the
firemen had finished their duties the
other night, the first thing Gus. did
was to search for KITTY" The cat had
been in the store when the latter was
closed for the day at o'clock, and 1t
was feared the store pet had been
burned or suffocateo by smoke. After
half hours search the cat was found.
kitty had escaped from the blaze in
a half suffocated condition and was
picked up by neighbor who took care
of the cat until the fire was over. Il
certainly would hate to lose that cat -
said Mr.. Kreidler last night. She is
the best rat eXterminator in the
place"

CARNEGIE AND SUNDAY

4 NDREW CARNEGIE, who got
"A into the habit of preaching
= rather sensational little sermons
long before our impetuous
friend. BILLY" Sunday. loomed large
on the horizon, in a recent address
gave his hearers this remarkable bit of
advice:
Don't be alarmed about your SINS
What a fine text this will provide
for the aforementioned BILLY" and
what splendid opportunity it will
afford him to use a flgurative bludgeon
on the bald pate of the Thane of
Skibo.
However. we believe that Mr.. Car
negie's admonition was entirely un-
necessary. We believe, with the New
York Sun, which makes some COM
ment upon the Carnegie effusion, that
few people worry much about their
own sins. What troubles them are
the sins of other people.

THACKsToN HEADS MARKETING.
Commissioned by McLauIin to Take
Charge of Marketing Features.

Spartanburg, Sept. 23.-Col. T. B.
Thackston, student in matters OF
rural credits and marketing, was to-
day commissioned to assume en-
tire charge of the marketing features
of the State warehouse system. The
appointment was made this morning
by j. l.. McLaurin, State Warehouse
Commissioner, who was in the city
en- route from Atlanta to his head
quarters in Columbia. Col. Thack-
Ston accepted.
Speaking in high praise of Col.
Thackston's ability to assume this
important work, Mr.. McLaurin says
that he is the best fitted man in
South Carolina for the appointment,
and the announcement Of his selec-
tion was made only after a thorough
investigation was made in the effort
to secure some one whom he believed
could produce the right results for
this feature of the warehousing sys-
TEN. He says that the Spartanburg
retical knowledge necessary for the
work, and he confidently believes
that he will be Of inestimable benefit
to the cotton producers of the State.
The office Of State agent in mar
keting carries important duties, such
as keeping line" on the conditions
Of The market and advising the far
mers when and how to sell. He will
secure orders for the staple, get in
touch with the owners and transact
all matters incident to the transfer
between the producers and the con-
sumers, saving, he says, the profits
of the middle man. His principal eff
forts at first will be to market the
warehoused cotton.
Col. Thackston has studied the
marketing methods i'm countries of
Europe, and since his return from
that trip, more than two years ago,
he has continued his studies, giving
his attention particularly to strictly
local conditions. He has given much
Of his time to the welfare of the far
mers and what information he has
secured, at great expense 20 himself,
he has been liberal in giving out to
the benefit of the farmers, particu-
larly to those Of Spartanbcrg county.
In the next few days Col. Thack-
ston promises 20 give a complete out
line of his plans.

ISENHOWER CASE TO YORK.
Change of Venue Has Bcen Ordered
by Judge Rice.

Winnsb0ro, Sept. 22.-At the open
ing of the court this morning Judge
Rice announced that the case OF the
State against Jesse Morrison, James
Rawls and Ernest Eisenhower, charg-
ing them with the shooting OF Sheriff
A. d. Hood, Rural Policeman Raleigh
Boulware and the negro prisoner,
Jules Smith, on the court house steps
in June, would be transferred for
trial at York. During the day a for
NAL order was signed by the Judge
directing that the cases be tried in
York county.
The question of granting the
change OF venue has caused consider
able discussion since the Judge or
dcrcd the cases TO be heard by a jury
Of another county, and a great many
citizens have expressed themselves as
desiring the cases disposed Of by a
jury composed Of Failtiel men, be-
lieving that the county should not
Shift the odium Of trying one OF the
most deplorablc and terrible TRACE
dies that ever occurred in South
Carolina to another county in the
judicial circuit.
Solicitor Henry requested the
grand jury, who were in session, to
make a report in the matter and ac-
quaint him with the views OF the peo-
pie, and in their report, which was
not read yesterday, but which was
made a part Of the record, they I'M
qualificdly reported that the cases
should be tried in this county. How.
ever. it must be stated that few pcO-
pie with whom the correspondent has
talked are OF the opinion that a jury
! free from bias or passion could be
| secured without great difficulty, as al.
most every citizen seems to have a
conviction either on one side or the
other.
The next term Of Court Of Genera
| Sessions for York county conveneS or
| November 23d, but whether these
cases are to be tried at this term has
| not been determined.
