SHOULD BE WELL ATTENDED

TINE public meeting to be held in
Camp Hill this evening for the
purpose of discussing the pro-
posed paving loan should be we'll at
tended. The presence of A. Carson
Stamm, who will speak on the value
of public improvements, should of
itself be sufficient to crowd the hall.
Mr.. Stamm has been Identified with
improvements in Harrisburg as a
member of the Board of Public Works
and in other capacities ever since the
first loan campaign and he has seen
Harrisburg developed from a second
rate inland town to one of the most
progressive cities in the whole coun-
try.
Doubtless there are those who hon
estly believe that Camp Hill should
rot spend none for paving. There
were such when Harrisburg first un-
dertook the extensive program of
street Improvement that has made it
the best paved city in the United
States. Indeed opposition was so
great that meetings were held and pc
1itions circulated for the purpose of
discouraging the paving program. But
when the paving was laid and the sec
ond loan for extending 1t vas passed
sentiment had so changed that the
none was, notTsuficient to meet the
demands of people who thronged
council chambers to demand their
share" Since then Harrisburg has
never been able to procure sufficient
funds to meet the demands for high
way improvements.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that Camp Hill is to have a similar ex-
perience.

The letter was not signed with the
writer's name; simply "Employe." 1t
was not. therefore, written for sell
fish reasons. The writer did not in
tend to use it as a stepping stone to
favor with those at the head of the
corporation. He was simply brim-
ming over with loyalty for a company
that evidently had used him fairly.
There is a lesson in that letter for
every employe and for every employer.
1t pays to be fair. 1t pays to follow
the Golden Rule in business. 1t pays
to treat ones employees as one would
be treated by his superiors. There are
men, doubtless, who cannot appreciate
anything but force. but they are few
and they are a hindrance rather than
a help to any working organization.
The Square Deal" is more than a
|tmeworn political catch phrase. 1t is
the fundamental principle of modern
business success and the man who
does not recognize 1t as such. be he
employer or employe. is indeed in a
bad way and headed direct for trou-

The CrOW'S-NeSt

Isn't there some way to protect a
charitable public from being imposed
upon every few days by some uncon-
scionable solicitor or beggar? The
ordinary individual hasn't time to in
vestigate the claims of every one that
along asking aims in order to
determine whether the case is worthy
or whether the solicitor is an impostor.
There have been several cases in point
within the last twelve months. One,
where the head of a family collected
more money in a day than the average
man makes in two Or three days and
this same individual lay dead drunk in
a saloon town along this line of road
been given the family by c~haritably
disposed persons. A deaf and dumb
impostor worked this part of the state
last year until exposed in a neighbor-
ing town. The procession Of unfor-
tunates and needy one has commenc-
ed earlier than usual this year and
some plan should be adopted to pro-
tect the community against impos-
tors. Why not have the city council
or the Commercial Club appoint a
committee of three to investigate all
cases asking for charity and let the
public send such persons to the com
mittee for endorsement before making
contributions in the way of cash. 1t
would save many impositions.
There is such a thing as riding a
free horse to death. Certain organiza-
lions that are disposed to be kind and
generous are too often imposed upon
by individuals and groups of persons
which are more dependent than indie
pendent. Just because the latter have
been the recipients of favors once or
twice they learn to depend upon the
donors too much and are apt to lose
their own initiative. Clubs, religious
organizations, and charitable societies
are kept up for specific purposes and
not to loan their financial help and in
f1uence too often to those who have
been helped over difficulties one or
more times and who have come to
look upon assistance whenever they
want it as a right not as an encourage
ment. Those who try to help them
selves are more apt to get considera-
ton when they need 1t.
In a late number of a popular daily
did you notice a picture In the Men
Who Fail" column which depicted a
young man sitting in a very fashion
able restaurant with some very ex-
pensive viands in front Of him who is
apparently saying, 81 can't afford 1t
but I've got to make a bluff" The
picture is quite true to life.
As spring approaches there is much
talk of building and the indications
are that there will be quite a number
of residences constructed this year.
The trouble is at present to get good
lots at a reasonable figure and within
the limits Of the best residence dis
tricts. Eight or ten blocks from the
business part of the city OF from the
college Is about as far as m wishes
to walk to and fro two or three times
a day. Some one will have to start y
jitney bus line and then lots In the
outlaying additions to the city will
become salable and desirable.
