When Miss Prices condition was
made known to Mr.. Hersch, who has
ever shown friendly interest in the
welfare of his employees, he was at
once moved to do something to assist
her back 10 health. After consulting
competent medical authority It was
determined that only a. protracted stay
in high altitude would restore Miss
Price, and the following letter tells
half of the story:

In carrying out this plan, Miss Price
went to Mount Hope. W. Va, one OF
the most beautiful and delightful spots
in the state, and took up her residence
there. Conforming strictly to instruc'
lions given her, her Improvement was
steady and rapid. and the following
letter received recently by Manager
Rose completes the story and proves
the humanitarian spirit of Mr.. Hersch:

unable to find any reason why she should

This being the case. you arc hereby
authorized to rcinstate her in her former
position.
Il hope and pray that she may con-
tinuo In her good health. and that the
only cause OF her leaving us may be that

REAL TARIFF REVISION

tFrom the Wall Street Journal
Io James ]. Hin is attributed a state
from the Anglo-F French loan conference
which is specially to be commended to
the coming Congress. Speaking of the
operation of the present tariff law. he
is quoted as saying:
Undoubtedly some rearrangement of
our tarin duties must be made in rec
ognition of profound Industrial changes.
These cannot any longer be made the
sport of parties and the prey df pri-
vate interests"
Mr.. Hill, IL he has any party afflia-
tions, is a Democrat in his sympathies.
But he recognizes. like thoughtful OBJ
servers generally; that our tariff prob
lem is not settled. and that IL is in the
last degree unlikely that it can ever be
settled on purely party lines.
i Is not question of Republican
especially in the South. who are high
protectionists at heart: and there are
Republicans who are free traders, at
commodities manufactured in their dis
tricts. Each tariff bill in fact, has
tended to degenerate to a log-rolling
measure, like the pork barrel appro-
priation, to the great detriment of the
industries of the country and the dis
location of the revenue.
1t is not even question of protection
as against free trade. 1t is necessary
for this country to raise large and in
creasing revenue, and the fact that this
incidentally extends protection to some
have had some good protection. and
some mighty poor free trade. even in
the Democratic tariff measure. Even
In America there can hardly be a hu-
morist daring enough to suggest that
the last measure was a logical demon
stration of either principle. or of any
principle.
With a strong distrust of deputinE
Congressional power. and an apprecia-
tion of the Indifference with which. Con
gress treats the reports Of the commits
sions ii creates. 1t may still be said
| that the question is one for experts
Neither the methods adopted under the
mess dominated nor the cheap politics
of noisy dema gogues with one hand held
up for economy and the other CROPPING
secretly for appropriations, can meet
the case.
The patriotic course is clear enough
The task is not easy. But the admin
istra tion which fails to adopt that
course will do some clumsy explainine
in the campaign of 1915.

NOCTURNE OF PARIS

Many of the leading French
artists SAYS a writer in Cartoons
Magazine. "are at the front, painting
war as 1t is. Others have remained
at home to portray little incidents Of
Paris Among the latter is L. Sabat-
tier, for many years cartoonist of lie
Figaro, and who is remembered for
his broad, sweeping style in crayon.
Perhaps the most notable of his
recent drawings is Les Matinales' -
the early morning wanderers of the
Paris streets in war times. In the
small hours of the long night they
pass by, these women, as unnoticed as
the good angels that guard us against
evil. Under the wells that shroud their
faces-somewhat drawn by the long
vigil--one perceives the white hair OF
a mother, or the blonde or brown
locks of a young girl. Some are res
turning from a nights watch at the
bedside of wounded soldier; others
are on their way to duty as nurses in
one of the many hotels and clinics
now converted into Red Cross hos
pitfalls. All traverse Paris at the hour
when not so long ago they used to re-
turn from the ball or the theater No
more of the gay night fianeurs in eve
ming dress who hailed a taxi while
they finished a cigar. The mornine
wanderers pass in silence, alone with
their thoughts, theirs the satisfaction
of duty accomniiEhad."

TT trunk Tf shipped east by express at cost
The facilities of the great express
baggage have been demonstrated in
the collection of the thousands of
pieces of American baggage. left
Europe at the outbreak of the war. At
one. time this baggage was piled as
nigh as a two-story building for sew
eral blocks in Cologne. No one was
responsible for 1t until a great Ameri-
can express company undertook to be-
come so. In Belgium, some of the big
american trunks filled with dainty
Paris clothes had been seized to build
barricades. Some had stopped bullets.
In other the bullets had gone straight
through, to the detriment of their CON
tents.
The collection of all this baggage
was not an easy task. 1t requires tact
and patience to enlist the interest of
the German authorities. The largest
Germany, where the baggage had been
collected few pieces at a time from
surrounding towns. It formed a huge
pile reaching TO the top of the building
on the pier. 1t was surmounted by two
crossed American flags and the name
OF the express company responsible for
IL. A number of German officers un-
stood guard over it until it could be
packed upon vessels and sent to New
YORK. The largest shipment included
LOO trunks which arrived last No
Nemher upon the steamer veendyck of
the Holland American line.
The baggage rescued from Europe
VAS WAS pfaiced in a special bonded ware
claimed by its owners. Circulars were
sent out entitled. rs your baggage
described here?" These circulars CON
talned lists of the recovered pieces and
descriptions of them. 1t is typical OF
American carelessness in this matter
TO note that less than half of the
stranded trunks and satchels contain
er the address. A gray trunk with
black band" is about as definite a
description as could be given of most
OF the pieces. Yet the majority of this
stranded baggage has now been re-
turned to its owners.

THE MAYOR-ELE

MORE or less complete returns of
IVI the primary election in the city
indicate the election of DR.. Ezra
S. Meals as the unopposed candidate
in the forthcoming election for Mayor.
This situation is the result of that
provision of the Clark act which stipu-
lates that any candidate for this office
receiving 81 per cent of the total vote
IN the primaries shall be the unop-
posed nonpartisan choice of the
people. II may or may not be a wise
provision, but as a law-abiding citi-
zenry we must accept the result and
hope for the best.
During his term as the chief magis-
trate of the city a few years ago
DR.. Meals gave Harrisburg an admins
tration which was far from satisfac-
tory. He shut his eyes to many things
he should have seen and permitted
too often the unrestrained element of
the population TO escape the enforce
rnent OF those laws which are enacted
for the welfare of the entire com
munity. He was in short, an official
without a full appreciation OF the re-
sponsibilities and obligations of an i'm
portant office and his administration
was clearly disappointment.
His selection as head of the city
government during the next four years
is in q measure the result of a re-
action against the weakness of the
Royal administration. Friends of
DR.. Meals have insisted throughout
the primary contest that he would give
the people a different sort of admins
tration in the event of his election.
II is now up to him to make good
those pledges. So long as he mani
tests disposition to discharge his i'm
portant duties with regard for the
welfare of the entire city he will have
the cordial support and cooperation
of all good citizens, without regard to
party or faction or group. He has a
remarkable opportunity for construct
i've work. The city is entering upon
another era of it's wonderful progress
and as the head OF the administration
much will depend upon the mayor
elect. He can either further the in
terests which most concern the city
and its advancement or he can be in
different and make more difficult the
work of his colleagues in the govern
ing commission and of all others de
voted to the building of the new Har-
risburE.
In brief, DR.. Meals has it within his
ewn power to give us successful ad.
ministration and recover whatever
prestige was lost during his former
term, as he will also have the power te
destroy in some measure the fine repu.
tation which the city enjoys through
out the country.
He may be assured OF the earnest
support Of this newspaper in every.
thing that makes for the betterment
of the community.

THE SCHOOLS, PART

TT is entirely proper that the city
schools should have a prominent
part in the municipal celebration
of the present week. In the first
place no part of the governments ac-
tivities Of the city have advanced more
rapidly than the city schools in the
past fifteen years. They have grown
and they have improved. But there is
much more to do.
The boys and girls who will march
in the parade will be a reminder to
us that the high school needs of the
immediate future demand a new and
adequate building. The boys and girls
themselves will be given a new idea
of the value of public Improvements
and of the esteem in which they are
held in Harrisburg.

to the highest court in the State would
have been given much more thought
had nominations have been made by
party vote. Sometime the, State may
awake to find that 1t has put into
high office man utterly untitled for
the place. The nonpartisan act has
just such possibilities when operated
in the lackadasical. haphazard man
ner that has characterized it this year.

SMALL BOYS AND MOTHERS

"The small boy. as the cartoonists
make him" says a writer in Cartoons
Magazine, 'is often unfortunate in his
selection of n mother. Some mothers
object to fellers getting down on his
knees to play marbles, claiming that il
wears out the pants. Some object to
stray dogs that follow kids home and
are entitled to consideration. Others
insist on ones practicing the piano and
learning Bible verses. They have an
uncanny divination when it comes to
ears and feet A few select ones have
read tom Sawyer" and can imagine
how 1t feels to be a boy. These moth
ers can be counted on usually for cook
les. and will at least dissemble their
dislike for dogs Also they pack
lunches when one wants to go upon a
pirate cruise. or to camp out for a day
in the woods. Briggs creates mothers
Of the former type: Webster. of the
latter"
