the city to defray the expenses of re-

both Miss Edna Driscoll and her
sister, Miss Dorothy Driscoll, en-
joyed the novelty of meeting the.
chieftain before his
death, conversing with him in his
own tongue. Many novel stories are
told by the attractive visitors of the
famous Indian tribe which lives al
most at their very door.

MATTHEW HALE FOR WILSON

Declaring that real Progressives will support Woodrow Wilson,
Matthew Hale, acting chairman OF the Progressive National committee,
has issued a statement in which he gives his reasons TO not being de
hvered' to the Republican party. II shall do all a to help re-eect
President Wilson" he says, and the following arr his reasons:
He has actually put into effect more progressive. Legislation than
any president W e have wei had. need only cite the Federal law, the
direct election Of United States senator's, the Rural Credits act and the
Federal Employment bureau. His persistent advocacy Of the National
Child Labor law shows that he is a eager as ever to continue this legi-
lahve record. He has shown great sympathy for the whole progressive
movement, and he has shown IN ability to secure the cooperation of his
party in putting his progressive ideas into actual legislation.
"Mr. Hughes Or the other hand, does not impress as beng in
real sympathy with the Progressive party. His speeches when they deal
with these questions sound like ordinary Republican stump speeches,
patting the 1aborers on the back with vague phrases and congratuating
the employers for their welfare work. They do not sound like the
speeches of a mar who has really studied these very vital subjects"

TWO METHODS OF APPEAL

There are two recognized ways of appealing for the suffrage of
one counrymen. One is to abuse the opposition candidate, and the
other is to display ones own qualifications. During the post-bellum days
of reconstruction, vituperaton appeared to be the main appeal to voters;
but as the memories of the war have faded, personal vinihcation has been
replaced by general condemnation of the oppositons acts and policies
1t may be questioned whether this also has not been outgrown.
There are signs indicating that the number of mn and women VINO
are demanding intelligent, constructive legislation is great enough
to hold the balance of power between the two sets OF party worshipers
TO this class Mr.. Hughes has been studiously indifferent. He has ignored
the upbuldng legislation enacted by the Federal Reserve law, the Sea-
mems law, the Rural Credits law, the work of the commission O. indu-
trial relations, the Federal Trades Commission and the pending Child
Labor law-and, instead, makes a few vague and general proposals that
could be subscribed to by all parties, from Socialists o ProhibitonEts
The Public.

BLUEJACKETS TO VISIT
PANAMA CANAL NEXT YEAR

The bluejackets of the Atlantic fleet
will have an opportunity next Spring
to visit the Panama canal, and see the
wonderful engineering undertaking.
According to the schedule of the At
lantic fleet announced at the Navy
Department, the battleship force, the
cruiser force, the active destroyerS
and the mine and train force are due
to make q five-day visit to the canal
during the period of fleet exercises be-
tween March IT and rs. Thousands
of young men making their first cruise
will therefore be afforded the rare
chance of viewing for themselves the
construction and operations of the
canal.
While no formal arrangements have
been made it is expected that a
program Will be prepared by the canal
authorities working in conjunction
with Admiral Mayo OF the Atlantic
fleet whereby all men will be given
facilities for making sIght-seeing
trip across the lsthmus. This was
done four years ago when the big fleet
made u sightseeing trip to the 18TH
mus.
The construction of the canal across
the lsthmus of Panama takes rank as
one of the greatest feats of human
skill; for over four hundred years ii
has been the dream of adventurous
people of Europe and America. In
explorers in the new world this pro-
3ect has been considered an ultimate
necessity. The difficulties in the way,
however, were found too great until
the project was taken hold of in dead
earnest by the American government
in 1904. when the United States ac-
quired possession of 10-mile strip
running across the Isthmus known as
the Canal Zone. Thousands of lives and
millions of treasure were sacrificed in
the attempt to force passage through
the backbone of the American contin-
ent.
The cost to the United States from
the time 1T acquired possession to the
day of completion, including $50, ,0O0,-

Company and to the Republic of Pan
anna for property and franchises, ap-

Eggnog For Christmas
Despite High Prices

High price of eggs and milk will
not interfere with the old-fashioned
Christmas drink-eggnogg. When the
price of eggs went soaring, and reach
ed so cents a dozen, some folks re-
marked: No eggnogg for Christmas
this year. There is no cause for many
according to one hotel man. Asked
about the Christmas observance, he
said
1T would not be Christmas without
eggnogg. While it is true that Is
cents is the price paid for egg drinks
at soda fountains. and at most bars in
Harrisburg. 20 and 25 cents. the usual
price of 10 cents will be charged for
a glass of eggnogg. You see q whole
egg is not used for every drink When
you figure out the cost of Il bowl of
eggnogg this year with eggs at so
cents a dozen, it shows a decreased
profit, but not a serious one.

fact that so many people are "indiffer-

enthusiasts are the salt of life, the
