the matter will come to an issue be-
fore the question of the new city treas
urership is settled.
Bowman and Lynch have an alliance
that is tied with knot of Austro-
German stoutness, point out the
"dopesters"; under the circumstances
their regard for each other will stand
out much like brother-love. This
means two votes out of five.
why shouldn't a combination like
this make come counter agreements
with Gross or Gorgas-should agree
ments be necessary" ask the politi-
cally wise.
The nearest approach to q breach in
diplomatic relations between Mayor
elect Meals and Commissioners Bow
man and Lynch occurred, it is said,
when the next mayor announced that
he wished ex-Police Lieutenant j.
Thomas Zeil as chief of police. Messrs.
Bowman and Lynch had been strong
supporters of Captain Joseph p.
Thompson. However they swallowed
their own feelings in the matter and
conceded Dr. Meals the right to select
his own chief. For the time the
clouds rolled away.
Then the question of V. Grant For
rer as park superintendent under
Commissioner elect Gross sent more
clouds rolling along the horizon.
Rumor had it that eX-Mayor Gross
wanted Mr.. Forrer; Mr.. Gross declined
to discuss the matter. Messrs. Lynch
and Bowman, it is understood,
wouldn't oppose Forrer should Mr..
Gross prefer him. But Mayor elect
Meals is decidedly opposed to the re-
instatement of the old park superin-

cases of malnutrition here, "is the
answer to the oft repeated question.
See that pale little fellow opening
the windows over there? He is one
of five children. The mother is dead.
The father works and tries to do his
best by them but you know how it is.
Their meals are supposed to be cook
ed by a next door neighbor but fear
very often it is only bit of something
cold and ready to eat which is brought
in hurriedly from the grocer's"
The Seamy Side of Life
And so they go on and on, these
pitiful stories of the little children to
whom the hard, seamy side of life is
opened all too soon.
Quietly, steadily and without
thought of praise there is working
amongst us a little band of mission
aries, the teachers of our public
schools. Honor should be paid these
young women who give of their labor
and love in many ways beyond merely
teaching the lessons of the school
curriculus. Often they beg warm
clothing and shoes from their friends
for needy pupils. One teacher went
to a grocer with whom she was well
acquainted and persuaded him to send
a liberal supply of food to a family
when starvation was staring them in
the face. Some times it even means
the spending of some of their own
hard-earned money as in the case of
q young teacher who visited a large
family where conditions were desper-
ate. Touched to the depths of q
warm generous heart, she went
straight to dealers and ordered a
half ton Of coal delivered for which
she paid out of her own pocket.
Women like these are loved and
reverenced by the children in their
care.
Duty and Love
During our Harrisburg Municipal
Celebration the little sister of a boy
in the Paxton building lay dead. But
his school needed 100 per cent at
tendance for the great children's
parade that they might have a good
showing and a chance of winning a
victrola From the side of the little
casket he came and took his place in
line that day because Teacher" need
ed him.
Little children are keen of intuition
and they soon see behind the voice of
firm control the big mother-heart
which reaches out to meet these
problems, which always finds from
somewhere clothes for the ragged and
food for the hungry.

Acres of Diamonds. by DIR. Russell II.
Conwell published by Harper &
Brothers, New York.
When you read through a book you
naturally expect to carry away some
impression which the characters, the
method of treatment, the climax or
the adventures may have made upon
you. Otherwise you are disappointed
But did you ever read a book which
recorded so many impressions upon
your mental retina that you could not
place a definite limit upon them?
Acres of Diamonds" is the story of
a $4,000,000 lecture and the wonderful
man who gave it to the world. Judge
the man by the lecture and the lecture
by the man and you will have two of
the most remarkable products which
this State of Pennsylvania has taken
pride in producing in the last half
century. You can judge pretty we'll
the sort of parents boy or girl has
had by the boy or girl; so you can
judge what sort of man DIR. Conwell
must have been in order to create and
perpetuate this famous lecture. The
reading of his life simply vindicates
your expectation of what the man
himself must have been.
He belongs to the old school of plat
form lecturers and although in his
seventies it is still a marvel and g.
pleasure to hear him. John Wanna
maker, of Philadelphia, speaks appre-
ciatively of the president of Temple
University as follows: His (Dr. Con-
wells) ideas, ideals and enthusiasms
have inspired tens of thousands of
lives. A book full of the energetics of
a master workman is just what every
young man cares for. AS his neighbor
and intimate friend in Philadelphia for
thirty years. l am free to say that
Russell II. Conwelrs tall, manly figure
stands out in the State of Pennsylva-
MIA as it's first citizen and the Big
Brother of its seven millions of
people,"
When you have read this book or
heard this lecture, you are certain to
ask yourself. Am I like Ali Hafed? :?
Am like any one of the men whom
DIR. Conwell used in his illustrations to
show how opportunity lies at my very

coffee large majority of the little
hands were raised.
What else do you have?" was ask
ed in one of the buildings lin the
southern part of the city.
"Tea-ginger ale cocoa soda egg
nog" came the answers. Then, far
along in the list, came milk"
HAS any boy or girl ever tasted
beer?"
Up flew the hands.
And whisky?"
Even at this question hands were
raised and one little chap of eleven
proudly boasting, IT got drunk once?
Such a pitiable condition was found
in more than one school. When ques-
toned, the children usually answered.:
MY father gave it to me. He brings
it home in bottles"
One half-grown girl told of another
near her own age who "often comes
to school drunk and one day she had
a fit from it."
The Sting
Here is the great liquor question
with which Pennsylvania has been
graphing seen from different angle!

Do the people of Harrisburg realize
just what this means?
Many of the children in the poorer
sections of the city have never borne
a fathers name. The struggle for
existence rests upon the mother and
upon their own young shoulders.
There was a boy in an uptown
school always sleepy and tired out.
With that patient understanding
which seems to belong to all good
school teachers, the cause was
searched for and found.
DO you know, that boy had to get
up every morning at four o'clock to
go hunt coal and wood in empty lots
or wherever he could find it and take
it home! am sure I would be dread
fully sleepy, too," exclaimed this
young woman.
IT had some girls" said another,
who had to hurry home from school
every afternoon and take baskets to
go about begging for food for the
family supper"
Bread and MoIasses
1t is indeed true, as the Harris
bread with molasses forms many a
meal for our public school children.
Sometimes they leave home so
hurriedly that they carry their break
fasts with them," the investigator was
told.
"In that case send them off in the
corner there to finish eating and
have seen bread and molasses. Some
times they even eat raw turnips and
raw sweet potatoes in place of fruit"
Very frequently among the foreign
ers the lunches the children carry to
school with them in bad weather con-
sists of great chunks of black bread
and garlic sausage of so strenuous q
make that the room requires a thor
ough airing before the afternoon ses-
sion. 1t is also a common thing for
them to come to school in the morn
ing with the odor of beer so strong
about them that it is repulsive to the
teachers. They openly confess that
beer takes the place of milk in their
daily diet.

Finally there is the city treasurer

The chances of both Commissioner
M. Harvey Taylor and Harry f. Owes
are considered about on par. Com
missioner Bowman prefers Owes, it Is
said; Mr.. Lynch feels kindly enough
toward Mr.. Bowman's choice, but he
hasn't really any direct opposition to
Mr.. Taylor; Messrs. Gross and Gorgas

this question; Mayor elect Meals has
declared that he prefers to be for the

Mayor Royal assisted by Commission
er Gorgas led to the "3 to 2' alignment
in Council.
The average citizen-and taxpayer
realizes that some of the most i'm
portant city work will be resumed
under new heads. Naturally he's cur
ious. The air has been full of rumors
of all sorts-ever since Mayor-elect
Meals began giving out interviews to
the newspapers. Here are some of
the proposed coalitions, according to
report:
Some Rumored Coalitions
Messrs Gross and Gorgas will GER
tainly line up together; so will Messrs.
Bowman and Lynch; Messrs Gross
and Gorgas will do no such thing,
they'll swing in with Mayor Meals;
this is not true, the real alignment
will be Meals, Bowman and Lynch;
Mayor Meals will line up with neither
faction, but win sit back as a pivotal
wheel and swing things anyway he
wishes: Messrs. Bowman and Lynch,
voting solidly always, will make what
overtures are necessary to include
either Mr.. Gross or Mr.. Gorgas. as
circumstances may Justify. In fact
one can hear most anything one
wishes.
While friends of Mayor-elect Meals
chuckle at what they consider the
"king-pin" position of the new exec
utive in the City Council personnel. the
wiser political "dopesters'' question
whether the real balance of power will

1t is scarcely three years since former Governor Oddie was compelled
to call a special meeting of the Legislature n order to 1egalze a loan
from Nevada to itself, in other words the transfer of about a quarter OF
a million dollars from the school fund to the general fund, which latter
had become depleted, causing the state to face the probability of losing
its credit
Few people, says the Tonopah Bonanza, realize the pethoric condi.
grand total OF $2,447WO0:
NNevada state school, $3S0ON; Nevada state 5 per cent, 100000;
Massachusetts, 3 per cent, $4,000; Massachusetts 81 per cent, $4,000;
Idaho a per cent, $175OO0; California state highway a per cent, $4,000;
Churchill county high school per cent, $4,000; New Mexico 5 per cent,
$l25OO0; Nye county 8 per cent, $4,000; Clark county 6 per cent, $4,000
The interest alone IN these gilt edged investments is almost sufi-
cient o support the schools of Nevada and in addition there is constant
augmentation through the sale of school lands. This state should have
the best educational system in the Union and at the least expense to
the taxpayers, but there is hardly a town of any size in Nevada that
is not assessed for school bonds, and, as may be sen in the foregoing
figures, this interest money is in nearly every instance paid to some
private investor, instead of to the state itself, which could easily accom-
modate all the districts in need and at a lower rate of interest than
they are o paying.
