LAW AND ORDER

TIME enforcement of law and or
der is not confined to any one
race, but is the duty of all men.
The organization of the Law and Or
der League by the colored people of
Harrisburg is a recognition of this
principle. Harrisburg has among its
citizens colored men who are living
exemplary lives and who are striving
for the up-lift of their race. The great
rank and file of the colored race
frowns as darkly upon crime and dis
order as does the mass of the white
race. The negro race is no more a
race of law-breakers than is the white
race. Criminality is a matter of the
individual entirely and the law-abiding
element of the colored people of Har-
risburg has shown a very commend
able desire to assist the authorities in
putting down crime.
In all fairness to these people 1t
should be said that the negroes who
have been giving trobule lately are not
natives of Harrisburg but have been
recent importantions from the South,
who came here to accept work which
followed the great rush of war pros
perity in the past year. Many of these
have bad regulations in their own
homes and it is the purpose of the new
Law and Order Society to keep it's eye
on these and other new corners who
may arouse the suspicious of the mem
bers.

thus describes enc of the critical mo-
ments of the conflict:
The Illinois and Second Kentucky
Infantry, having encountered q greatly
superior force of the enemy's reserves,
were overwhelmed by numbers The
moment was most critical. Captain
O'Brien, with two pieces, had sustained
the heavy charge to the last, until,
nearly all his gunners and horses hav-
ing been killed and his infantry sup
port entirely routed, he had been
obliged to leave his guns on the field.
Captain Bragg, who had just arrived
from the left, was ordered at once into
battery. Without any infantry to sup
port him. and at the imminent risk of
losing his guns, this officer came
rapidly into action, the Mexican line
being but a few yards from the muz-
zles of his pieces. The first discharge
of canister caused tho enemy to hesi-
tate; the second and third drove him

Advertising Did It
[From Newspaperdom. ]

Yes, the Western Union Telegraph
Company certainly made a wise move
when it decided to go before the people
via the method of advertising and
spread the gospel of the efficiency of
it's service. Prior to the big advertis-
ing campaign which was inaugurated
was gradually narrowing down to a
point where stockholders were not
fully satisfied with their dividends. Ad-
vertising and the night and ay-letter
scheme gave great impetus to the busi-
ness of the company, with the result
that in 1915 the dividends amounted to
a little over IL per cent. Taking the
months of 1916 as a basis 1t is figured
that dividends for the current year will
exceed 16 per cent. When IL is con-
at 500, oo0, 900. such huge earning al
once become noteworthy Advertising!

TTTHEN the main engagement at
w Buena Vista opened at sunrise,

FEBRUARY 20, 1871, the dark
lines of Mexican infantry were seen,
as far as the eye could reach, sweeping
upon the devoted band of Americans,
while their cavalry seemed to cover
the plains with interminable lines.
Soon Mexican trickery became a fea-
ture of the battle. When a large
division of Mexican cavalry had
charged and been so cut down by the
American batteries that the survivors
we're forced to take refuge among the
mountains apart from Santa Annals
main army, that willy chieftain
promptly sent in a flag of truce, de-
manding of General Taylor what he
wanted. The delay in answering this
enabled the cavalry to escape capture
and rejoin the Mexican forces.
The engagement was now resumed
with intense fury as the enemy, in
dense masses, charged up to the very
mouths of our guns. General Taylor

to tell about the ad men now in con-
vention at Philadelphia. He is from
Des Moines, Iowa, and he is feet
inches tall, and he had difficulty in
getting a bed down in Philadelphia.
But all his friends got their heads to-
eether and the president of the Adver-
Using Association of Des Moines now
sleeps all stretched out just like the
little fellows.
The Philadelphia Inquirer prints the
college yell of a body of Chinese stu
dents as being
"Chi, hi, yo shat XII,

To be frank, the cheer sounds to us
more like the attempt of a somewhat
muddled man to recite the recent sue
cession of the president of the re-
public.
Members of the board of directors
