"The Half Breed" the new Douglas
Fairbanks picture, is a dramatization
of a celebrated story by Bert Harte,
called "In the Carquinez Woods"
Harte was one of the best ex-
amples of writer's who put their own
opinions into their stories rather
than yield to consensus of feeling on
any given point.
In the days of 49, which were the
days in which Harte knew the great
West of the United States, of which
he wrote, the ministers who came out
with emigrant trains through the des-
ert were rather free-and-easy charac-
tiers. In many cases they were men
who had found things too warm for
them in the East.
Therefore, Winslow Wynn, the min
lister in "The Half-Breed," does not
signify that Harte despised parsons
in general, but merely that he was
writing of a type he had met.

THE PUBLIC EYE

OTATE HIGHWAY COMMITS
SIONER BLACK has struck the
very heart of things in his pledge
that the activities of the department
shall be given the fullest publicity.
II he sticks to this decision, then the
important work of the department will
go forward with the full support and
cooperation of the people. 1t is
mostly when public officials grow Sc
cretive and treat the public as unde-
serving of their confidence that break
ers are encountered and disaster fol-
lows.
Especially at this time it is neces-
sary to keep the people posted upon
the policies of the road-building de-
partment of the State government.
There is a natural disposition to criti-
also road-making methods and by rea-
son of this attitude the officials of the
department should endeavor under all
circumstances to explain conditions
and give the widest publicity to all
their work.
Commissioner Black seems to have
the right idea and we trust he will
not be swerved one iota from the posi-
ton he has taken with respect to the
right of the public to know what is
going on.

Sorrows of an Old Friend
[Philadephia Record. |

After an unwonted silence of several
weeks, or months, our old friend, Scott
Nearing, the martyr of 1915, has pro-
Jected himself into the limelight again.
From his remarks before the League
of Teachers Association in New York,
we gather that in his new home, To-
ledo. he finds special privilege and the
plutocrats quite as firmly seated in
the saddle as they were in his Phila-
delphia days. Everything. is going
wrong, as usual, and John the Baptist
still raises his voice in the wilderness
and calls in vain upon a wicked world
to repent. To all the other conspira-
tors against the common people Mr..
Nearing has now added the newspa-
pers, his champions in other days.
People who follow the news of the Eu-
ropean war with interest, and some of
whom may possibly think that the
papers print too much of 1t, will be
surprised to learn that these sheets
have been engaged in a shocking plot,
a propaganda of suppression a cur
ious contradiction of terms, for which
Mr.. Nearing is responsible.

"In Fighting Mood"
(PhiIadelnhia- Pnhllc I.edper


The most interesting part of the
speech, however, was not the assertion
of maxims of conduct to which few
would take exception, but the empha-
sis placed upon the duty of making
words live in action. 81 am in a fight
ing mood" he said. Just what bear
ing this remark has upon the situa-
ton in which the nation now finds
itself it might be difficult to decide.
AS in his Flag Day speech, Mr.. Will
son apparently means to imply that if
a conflict is forced upon him he will
not shrink from it. Thus he declares
that America is at a point where it
is more than ever necessary that she
should not only understand her own
ideals, but be ready to put them into
action at any cost" It is a sentiment
to which no exception can be taken;
but it still sounds a little oddly on
the Presidents lips; for the one SAL
lent characteristic of his policy so far
has been the exaltation of the word
above the act. Now he stands forth
as "a challenger to all comers." The
only possible comment on such a dec
laration can be found in the acts
which follow 1t. If the President holds
the men who made the Republic as an
example, he cannot go far astray. But
he would be more impressive in the
Ercles vein If he had not so often
proclaimed the principles he was will
ing to defend and then in the hour of
decision paltered with phrases and
iuggled with words.

WHAT DO YOU READ?
By Frederic J. Haskin

T\HERE is a public stenographer
in a Virginia city who has read
4 most of the worlds greatest clas-
slcs from the Odyssey to Adam Bede,
and is still going ahead at the rate of
two volumes a week. His days are
made up of shorthand and typewrit-
ing and business correspondence of the
driest sort, but at night he is the COM
panion of the gods and kings of Greek
romance; he has fought the battles of
Ulysses, and followed Dante through
all the circles of hell to the throne of
Beatrice he has tilted the windmills
with Don Quixote; he knows the word
music of Shakespeare, the stately ca
dences of Milton, the stinging satire of
Moliere.
This man used to read chiefly Sun
day newspapers and popular maga-
zines, as do most Americans. Then
he got hold of one of the home read
ing courses published by the United
States Bureau of Education, and de-
termined to investigate some of the
volumes listed there. At first he read
them largely because he thought he
ought to do so, finding them a great
deal more difficult than the mild men,
tai pabulum to which he was accus-
toned; but gradually these words of
great minds caught and held his at

tention. There could be no better
proof of this than the eagerness with
which he continues his studies, and
the elaborate reports upon his reading
which he sends regularly to the Bu-
reau of Education. He has found a
new interest in life, und one that will
infinitely broaden and enrich it. For
true reading is above all an extension
and enrichment of life. All of us live
largely in our imaginations, and the
reading of great books is primarily
imagining under the leadership of
great personalities.
Most Americans read what comes to
their hands and accept it at the valu-
alton of its publishers. They are lit
orally overwhelmed by constant del
uge of books and magazines, widely
and cleverly advertised. They are
vaguely aware of the classics as a row
of dusty tones on top shelf in the
public library which nobody ever
reads.
Now the Bureau of Education be-
lieves that If these really great books
got share of the advertising, had a
fair start" with the current flood of
balderdash, they would win a share of
readers, and the literary taste of the

Until this subway shall have been

NHRIsTIAN ENDEAvORERs from

NHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS from
u all parts of Pennsylvania gather
here July II, IL, 8 and "A for
what is confidently looked forward to
as the gretaest convention in the long
history of the Pennsylvania Christian
Endeavor Union. The fact that these
semblages are held only once in two
years makes them all the more attract
i've for those who find vent for their
religious activities through the chan
nels of the Christian E.ndeavor Union
Pennsylvania has an enrolment of
2,5e0 societies and by far the larger
majority will have representatives here
next week.
Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of the convention week will
therefore be busy days Many notable
speakers will be present Many enter
tainments will be given. The city will
be appropriately decorated. What the
occasion may lack from the standpoint
of gaiety it will make up in religious
enthusiasm.
Harrisburg, therefore, should well
be here from every county in the
State. Many of them will see Harris
burg for the first time. The city
should appear at its best. The young
people will admire the magnificent
Capitol building and other handsome
structures, the beautiful Susquehanna
river and our many historic places.
They will find much that will interest
them. The visitors, old and young.
will go away, no doubt, with favorable
impressions of our industrial greatness
and will be surprised to note the mar
velous improvements made during the
past eighteen years since the State
convention held its sessions in this city
last, but the great impression we wish
to make upon them is that in all that
makes for the upbuilding of character,
for the advancement OF religion and
for the betterment of mankind, Har-
risburg and Dauphin county are we'll
in the front line among cities of the
State.
