THAT COAL wharf

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
l have been much interested in read
ing about the proposed coal wharf
which the Patriot says would be an
eye sore" on the island, and thing
much to be desired and one of beauty
at Paxton street.
The cry is there is no hardship in
yolved in the hauling of coal and sand
from the Paxton. street situation"
'Abate the present nuisance at Mar
ket street, center 1t all at Paxton street,
put all the blots there" so when resi-
looks out his front window, he won't
see them and everything will be lovely.
How does moving a blot down the
river make it a garden?
Are there no aesthetics" down there,
and might not those living further up,
have their refined natures hopelessly
shattered should they stroll down to
Paxton street, say on sundays. and take
a single look at the blot" located
there?
Then what about Dewitt Fry and
Brother Metzger, have they not an equal
right to have their feelings protected
as any one living opposite the island?
Or should this town and its best in
minded personality? That is easily
answered. If YOU don't believe me read
the election returns from Harrisburg
and Dauphin county on governor
at the last November election.
This question ought to be settled on
its merits, and without any reference tc
the narrow whims of individuals
Respectfully,
FAIR PLAYER.

THE RAYMOND LECTURES

NRANk JEWEL RAYMOND, who
very properly calls himself a
business evangelist" spoke to
1900 men and women in the
Technical high school auditorium last
night in the first of a series of lectures
on business efficiency arranged by the
Harrisburg Chamber of. Commerce.
That the Chamber is meeting a
popular demand in bringing Mr.. Ray
mond to Harrisburg needs no other
illustration than the size of the audi
encc that turned out to hear him.
Many of the city's most progressive
business firms paid the way of their
entire forces of employees to hear Mr..
Raymond.
The need of education in business
was never more keenly felt than to-
day. The wise employer no longer
wants the cheap man or woman. He
realizes that the employe capable OF
earning three dollars a day is in the
end a better investment for himself
than he who is content to earn but one
or two dollars. Personal efficiency in
sales and clerical forces adds tremen.
dously to the profits of any concern.
1t is a pleasure to note that Harris.
burg is fully abreast of the times in
this respect and there can be no doubt
that Mr.. Raymonds lectures will re.
pay many times over the money ex.
pended to bring him here.

THRIFT IN HARD TIMES

- TRANCE as it may seem, the
greatest amount of saving does
- not take place in most prosperous
times. Conditions such as have
arisen in some parts of this country
as result of the war in Europe are
often the signal for return to a
simpler scale of living and an increas-
ed proportion of saving.
1t will not take very large increase
of savings per capita to make q radical
increase in the amount of capital avail
able yearly and that increase will be
necessary to keep the factories, the
railroads and the mines going.
With the great European nations out
of the market as lenders of money.
there is greater need in America for
the cultivation of the saving habit
among the people to accumulate capi-
tai with which to finance not only the
growing demands of this nation, but
also of those portions of the world that
remain at peace. If Americans re-
spond to this new duty there will be no
lack of capital for all the needs that
are likely TO be felt.
But will they?
Ths trouble is that, as the prosperity
