LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Whole Ticket, He Says

10 the Editor of the Telegraph:
Yesterday the attention of our Min
isters' Conference was called to a let
ter in your last Fridays issue. over the
signature of our esteemed brother,
the Rev. A. ]. Greene, in which the
acting secretary of our conference was
accused of falsifying the action of the
conference in the report he gave the
telegraph, to wit: The endorsement
of the National, State, county and city
Republican ticket. Our brother
Greene disavowed any intention of re-
1ecting on the integrity of the acting
secretary in the matter. His attention
was called to the report as it appeared
in the Telegraph by a Local Option
friend, and this inspired his letter.
Our conference has agreed to take
no action in the matter but as the
mover of the resolution 1 consider II
my duty in fairness to the secretary
and Brother Greene to give it to the
public. This is my resolution: THAT
the entire Republican ticket be en-
dorsed, in appreciation for what the
party has done for the good of the
race" This resolution was seconded by
the Revs. Greene and Gaines. The
Rev. DR.. Ray of Wesley Church ar
rested the motion. demanding an ex-
PLANTATION, and at the same time OBJ
serving, 'if 1t meant only to talk
about the party when we meet, then
l am against it; but If it means that
we are to go out and hustle for the
success of the ticket then l am in
hearty accord with the motion"
gave the assurance to the brethren
that DR.. Rays idea was in accord with
mine.
Nothing whatever was said about
Local Option or any other option,
for one am very sorry, if the wording
of the resolution is responsible for the
misunderstanding of Brother Greene.
l sin of the opinion that the acting
secretary reported correctly the action
of the conference: ITO wit, the en-
dorsement of the National, State. coun-
ty ond city Republican ticket" There
was OF dissenting voice to the mo-
ton.

Kickers With Kick

One day the rain was pouring from n
bright and cloudless sky,
The summer sun was shining and
the snow was drifting high.
While children gathered violets in a
warm and fragrant breeze.
Jack Frost was bursting chestnut
burs on tall and spreading trees,
The women were in swimming while
the men were cutting ice.
Between two rain-soaked fields. the
park was like paradise.
One woman used palmleaf fan. an.
other wore shawl,
And passing farmers stopped their
sleds to watch game of bali.
Some children made snow man while
their grandpa moved the lawn
The setting sun was shining in tbe
sky at early dawn.
The autumn leaves were falling IN
the Springtime sure's youI
born,
The boys went skating on the creeL
while Higgens plowed the corn
OF summer, winter, spring and fall
no mortal could depict
A greater mixture all at once. anf
still the kickers kicked.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

According to the Rev. DR.. Sing
master, the village blacksmith is bet
ter paid than the village pastor. And
yet the latter is probably more
familiar with the anvil.-Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
It's an old. old game in politics
when you have something unpleasant
or politically dangerous to meet or
answer, sidetrack 1t. Talk something
else. Get the people interested in
something else. Drag a red herring
across the trail.-Kansas City Times
Senator Henry C. Lodge is right
when he says that the question is not
what the Republican party would
have done but what the Democrats
have done. There is no Campaign
issue in what the Republicans wouid
have done; but this the country knows
that in the fifty-one years since the
Civil War ended the Republican partv
has conducted the affairs of the coun.
try so well that the Democrats have
been in power less than twelve wears.

ME Christian Science Monitor of
Saturday, October z, publishes a
four-column line sketch of the
Rockville gorge of the Susquehanna,
just above Harrisburg. The drawing
was made especially for the Monitor.
The picture is accompanied by the fol-
lowing interesting article under the
caption The Susquehanna, Near Rock
vile, Pa:
The Susquehanna river, rich in
lege ndary Indian lore and historical
association, has also been celebrated
in fiction and verse. In his Down the
Historic Susquehanna" Charles Wealth
ers Bump tells of a conversation he
had with bookseller at Cooperstown,
in which together they traversed this
pleasant field. He says:
"Cooper's name, of course, was first
on our lips when we started to recall
the poetry and novels in which the
Susquehanna is well remembered.
Then 1 spoke of Nathaniel p Willis,
whose happy years beside the river
found expression in his varied writ
ings. My friend. the bookseller, soon
spoke of Thomas Campbell and his
epic, Gertrude of Wyoming while l
thought of Coleridge and Southey,
who. with the enthusiasm of youth,
dreamed of placing their ideal colony
Susquehanna, which. like Campbell,
neither of them had ever seen, or ever
saw.
There is something deeply interest
ing in their dream of starting upon the
Susquehanna a brotherlyj community
where private property was to be abol-
ished, where two hours a day were to
be spent in providing food, and the
rest of the time in rational society and
intellectual employment Biographies
OF both poets tell how the scheme was
talked of in 1894, when Coleridge was
twenty-five and Southey two years
younger, and how it was never carried
out because no funds were forthcom-

Booze and Business
(Kansas CitY Star)

When the prohibition campaign was
on in Colorado the liquor men pre-
dicted that If the State went dry, grass
would grow in the streets of Denver.
They are saying now that If prohibi-
ton carries in November in Nebraska
and Missouri grass will grow in the
streets of Omaha, Kansas City and
ST. Louis. For the benefit of those
who might believe there is something
to this argument that prohibition kills
business, the following recent edi-
torial from the Rocky Mountain News.
the leading newspaper of Denver, is
reproduced:
The prosperity of Denver is
genuine. 1t is not a prosperity
confined to the few at the top.
Department stores have been do
ing a bigger business than ever
before and the smaller stores re-
port an equally encouraging bal
ance sheet. Factories as rule
have been working overtime or in
extra. shifts. The public service
corporations report a substantial
increase over year ago, and a
year ago was much better than
two years ago.
National bank deposits have
grown in year more than 26
million dollars, which is proof
VI Soou 'iiheS III SeHeTal business;
the savings banks note an in
crease of 6 million dollars in their
deposits in that period--a guar
antee that the good times did
not remain at the top but reach
ed down to the wage-earner' and
plain householder.
Wages have been high, from
the common laborer UP to the
mechanic. The demand for
skilled and unskilled labor is
greater than the supply.
1t is the presence of booze, not it
absence. that hurts business.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. II
There's life alone In duty done, and
GET BUSY OR GET OUT

CIXTY burglaries in Harrisburg
y since July l. and not one con-
viction!
That is record of inefficient and
incompetent police conduct such as
the city never has known.
Mayor Meals rightly says that his
force of patrolmen is too small. 1t Is
true that the beats are iong and the
officers greatly overworked. Never
present conditions. We have detec-
tives paid to run down burglars. What
have these been doing? Has the little
game in the basement peen more
alluring than the search for thieves
Or. is the detective force also too
small?
Sixty burglaries, and not one ar
rest!
1t would be a joke were it not so
serious.
The whisper has gone about that
the city detectives know the names of
men strongly suspected of the thefts,
but will not make arrests until they
doubtful If this is true, but if it is so,
the people ought to be informed also
that few burglars ever are taken red
handed and that nearly all appre-
hended are arrested on circumstantial
evidence, supplemented by proof not
hard to find following arrest. The
likelihood is that this story was al
lowed to go out to cover up absolute
ignorance and to Save the face" of
those responsible for failure to catch
the guilty persons.
The detective bureau must do one
of three things - perform efficiently
the tasks allotted to it, explain to the
satisfaction of the public that it has
good and sufficient reasons for failure,
or get out and give place to detectives
who sometimes, at least, detect.

THE HUGHES RECEPTION

TIME warm reception given Mr..
Hughes in Harrisburg yesterday
is an earnest of what Harrisburg
will do for the Republican candidate
in November.
If Mr.. Hughes will spend a day
here the crowds that will gather to
hear him will be the greatest in the
history of the city. Hughes is a three
to one favorite here. tie will COM
mand the solid Republican and Pro-
gressive vote and those of many
Democrats. So far as Harrisburg is
concerned Mr.. Hughes may stop cam
paigning. He has his opponent beaten
to a frazzle.

Democratic managers are acclaiming
the healing of the breach" between
Wilson and the man who made him
William +. McCombs. 1t is worth re-
membering that it was not until Nc
Combs was nominated for Senator in
New York that Wilson took any pains
to placate his manager of 1912. Nc
Combs as an individual is probably as
distasteful to Wilson now as ne ever
was; but McCombs, the Democratic
leader, must be reckoned with and mol
lifted. Mr.. McCombs knows, of course,
that he cannot be elected Senator; and
he knows, too, that Wilson cannot carry
New York and cannot be reelected But
he must be deriving a good deal of
satisfaction out of the situation, just
the same.

FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH

\ lucky day for this city, despite the
old superstition.
BY proclamation of Mayor Meals II
will be Greater Harrisburg Day.
The Chamber Of Commerce. the Ro.
tary Club and a committee of volun-
teer citizens will make it the occasion
for roundup of subscriptions for the
new million-d hotel and for com.
pleting the Chamber of Commerce
membership campaign started last
week. Doubtless the hotel fund will
be greatly increased and the Cham ber
beyond question will pass the 600
mark.
But much as those accomplishments
may mean, they are really of sec
ondary Importance. The real sig
niticance of the day lies in the fact
that the new spirit of progress and
achievement has become so powerful
in Harrisburg that it has been rec
ognized, by the chief executive of the
municipality in a special day set aside
in order that all citizens may join to-
gether for a manifestation of. their
faith in the city and to participate in
the great advancement movement now
under way.
It augurs we'll for the success of the
occasion that more than 200 of the
busiest men of town will lay aside
their personal affairs for a full day to
go forth upon the city's business. For
that is what these Chamber of Com
merce movements really are. 1t is the
city's business to maintain a Chamber
of Commerce with mem bership large
enough and a treasury big enough to
make itself felt as a powerful factor
for good in the affairs of the COM
munity. 1t is the city's business, also,
to have such hotel as is needed here
and such a one as will be made pos
sible through the cooperation of the
citizens all contributing to a common
fund.
But there would be no Chamber
of Commerce and no hotel If it were
not for individual effort exerted CO.
operatively. No one man or small
group of men. powerful and influen-
tial though they be, can build a city or
minister successfully to it's needs. in
union there is strength" and just such
volunteer service as has been manifest
during the past few weeks in Harris
burg and such as is planned for Fri
day. the 18th, is necessary to push
through any campaign for municipal
betterment. no matter how worthy it
may be nor how popular. Work,
whole hearted. concentrated, individual
and collective work. is the only means
TO the end. and that Is what we have
been having and are going to have in
the great task now before the COM
munity. The climax of the drive will
come on Friday. The heavy guns have
been booming for weeks, the way is
cleared and the volunteers are crouched
in the trenches eager and keen for
the charge.
Greater Harrisburg Day, Friday, the
18th, promises not only to be a lucky
day, but great day for Harrisburg.
