WILSON AGAINST
PORK MEASURES
Prodigal Expenditures For
Public Buildings and Water
way Will Be Voted

Washington, Dec. %. - Because of
the existing deficit in the treasury of
more than 100000, there will be
no omnibus public building bill at
this session of Congress. One has
been reported which carried an ap-
preparation of $35, 100000 for projects
that can only be intended to give Con-
gressmen political prestige in their dis
tricts, but it is said on good authority
that it will be vetoed if it reaches
President Wilson. He also will refuse
to approve a river and harbor bill if
appropriations are made to projects
that are not worthy or not contribu-
tory to revenues to tie Government
The measure now before Congress
sets aside large sums for buildings in
small towns where the post office re-
ceipts in ten years would not reach
the cost of the proposed new struc-
lures. The proposal to expend $780,
600 for a building in Central City,
KY, where the population is 2,545 and
the receipts last year S5,705, is one
of the examples which has led the
Secretary of the Treasury to charac-
terize the bill as ''indefensible."
Briefly summarized here are some

There is only one reason why such
an outrageous bit of doggerel, contain
ing such an atrocious sentiment,
should appear where 1t does. It's be-
cause the managing editor suggested
that in christmas stuff" it is always
good form to lead off with some verse
or other. So between Sullivan, the
cartooner, and myself we managed to
find a leading-off verse.
Hagen" said the managing editor,
you and Sullivanego out on the streets
this beautiful sun-kissed afternoon and
get me some good Christmas stuff
something with heart-interest in it;
and all that sort of thing. Write u
story that ranges from the droll to the
pathetic; get me?"
That, by the way, is some range!
One might call it gas range.
All right We went out on the
streets. The first thing we saw was
a three-man quartet, accompanied by
hurdygurdy. They announced on
a placard that they were singing their
way from coast to coast. InasmucL
as they've been in Harrisburg four or
five days they must have all the time
in the world to get to San Francisco;
or else they're loafing only in Harris
burg, satisfied that their voices will
carry them a long way rapidly. One
thing we noticed about the audience
was that it fingered around, OPEN
mouthed with enjoyment, until one of
the boys started to collect; and then
it had business elsewhere-in a hurry.
Tie quartet was singing in front of
the courthouse. Across the street we
ran across a man and wife looking in
the window of hardware store. 1t
seemed to be a race. That is, the
man wondered if he could prove in
different and prevent his wife from
entering the store long enough to
permit a Reservoir Park car to come
along. The wife greatly admired any
number of things in the window. She
was hell-bent one might say, were he
to stoop to the use of rough words, on
buying s25 or $40 worth. Just about
the time the husbands face assumed
a "Well-I-never-h -had-any luck any
how" look the car came along and he
dragged his wife aboard.
About this time the sound of chimes
smote upon our ear. Moving toward
the sound we discovered the source.
We also discovered that about eight
or nine hundred five-year-old boys
and girls were asking their fathers
and mothers whether the chime-play-
er had to stay out in the cold on the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-22

Bowman portico to play the bells
After standing across the street won-
dering about it ourselves, Sullivan and
1 came to the conclusion that the man
must be inside the store, because it
was so cold the chimes would have
suffered, had lie been outside. An
other thing we discovered at this
1uncture was the great number of
women who let the door slam in the
face of the person right back of them.
And each woman who let the door
slam remarked on the impoliteness of
the woman ahead. 1t was an endless
chain of denunciation. Funny, too.
In one of the stores we ran across
a lanky guy shopping with his wife.
How will this do?" asked the wife
every 10 feet.
''All right, I guess" replied the
lanky guy
20. you're no good at ALL" moaned
the wife. And they're your sisters
I'm buying for, too"
want" said the husband.
But 1 don't want to buy them any
thing"
Neither do T." said the husband.
81 can't afford it."
But" declared the woman, 'it
won't look right if we don't"
Mr.. Sullivan whispered an aside.
Christmas spirit wonderful"
After a while we found ourselves
over in Bogar's, on the Square. A
man and his wife were at the model
builder counter. The man was buy
ing parts for his sons Meccano set.
He was as interested as a hen who
has just found out that her peeps"
can swim.
Listen" said his wife, after vainly
trying to attract his attention for sew
eral minutes. while you are buying
Christmas gifts for yourself I'm going
to look for something for Billy"
These things are for Bill" de-
clared the husband.
Yes. they are" Knocked the boo'ful
lady. For Bill-agcd three years.
suppose, too, you weren't thinking of
your own toyless youth when you
bought that $25 electric train and that
11-pound lifting capacity motor and
that steam roller and all the other
things that Bill will like four or five
years from now, if you don't have
them worn out before tLen."
"Ah," said Sullivan, the cartooner,
this good old Christmas spirit"
Sullivan, however, is cynic. He Is
inclined to make light of the true, the
beautiful and the good. Like all car
TONERS, he is a skeptic. There is
such a thing as the Christmas spirit.
We found the real thing everywhere.
We found a kiddoo, for example,
wLo had So cents to spend. He wasn't

of transaction in cattle that netted
the county the neat sum of $229
profit.
Sometime in OCTOBER the board
bought nineteen head of cattle. They
cost but $3.50 per hundred weight.
Under the careful eye of Steward
Early the beeves were fattened, plenty
of meat was stored away to last the
inmates of the almshouse until Febru-

Argue Bridge Case. - Argument
was heard yesterday by the Dauphin
county court on the question of
whether or not the State should re-
quire York county to ask for the ap-
pointment of viewers to determine the
adVsability of rebuilding bridge
over Muddy Creek, York county, at
the expense of the State. The State
contends 1t isn't liable because the
bridge has never been opened as the
stream isn't navigable to span a pub
lie highway; the county contends that

charter for company to navigate

Wants More Typewriters.-Requ
has been made of the county commits
sioners by County Recorder James E.
Lentz for at least two additional book

Recorder Lentz figures that the in

not only increase the efficiency of the
office but will cut down the cost mate

Want State to Build Bridge. - The
Daupkin county court yesterday heard
argument on the question of whether
the State should be required to pay
for the bride across the Cowanesoue
river in Nelson township, Tioga coun-
ty the foundations of which sunk
during recent high waters. The coun-
ty contends it's up to the State to pay
because the structure had to be re-
built; the State argues that tie
viaduct did not ned to be rebuilt but
only repaired so that the county and
not the State is therefore liable
