DIR. ORTHs RETIREMENT

"HE proposed retirement of DIR.
H. C. Orth as superintendent of
the State Lunatic Hospital will
take from the State service q man
who made fhe development of the
great institution of which he is the
head his life work. An old-fashioned,
overcrowded, totally inadequate hos
pital when he took charge, it is now
one of the largest and best in Penn
sylvania. Effective treatment of the
mentally deranged he combined with
economical administration. He has
been as truly lord of the domain of
the hospital reservation as any Eng
lish squire of his broad estate and he
has taken as deep an interest in its
various activities and functions as
though 1t were his own. He is a high
type of public official and tho trustees
will have difficulty in replacing him.

Four Great War Songs
FROM THE SILENT PARTNER"

Thou wilt not yield the Vandal toll,
Maryland! my Maryland!
Thou wilt not crook to his control,
Maryland! my Maryland!
Better the fire upon thee roll
Better the shot, the blade. the bowl,
Than crucifiXion of the soul,
Maryland! my Maryland!
II see no blush upon thy cheek,
Maryland! my Maryland
Tho thou vast ever bravely meek.
Maryland! my Maryland
For life and death. for woe and
veal.
Thy peerless chivalry reveal.
And grid thy beauteous limbs with
steel,
Maryland! my Maryland!
"I hear the distant thunder hum,
Maryland! my Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife and drum,
Maryland! my Maryland!
Come to thine own heroic throng.
That stalks with Liberty along,
And ring they dauntlesS slogan song
Maryland! my Maryland!
The other notable song is the
Battle Hymn of the Republic" by
Julia Ward Howe. It's deep-toned
measures form a significant contrast
70 the other song with it's high
pitched lyric. It has a swinging SEN
saton that soldiers like.
The first song surges forward with
the fire and dash of Southern tenn
permanent to an impassioned cres-
cendo. The other song trumpets
forth calmer fate and determine
tion-"God Is Marching On" Both

intensely so, but they will survive
lecause they have the divine spark
CT martial verse or the period IN
which they were written. Listen:
+ Mine eyes have seen the glory oil
the coming of the Lord;
| He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are
stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lighting
of his terrible swift sword:
| His truth is marching on.
Chorus
| GLORY, glory, hallelujah!
II have seen him in the watch fires
of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar il
the evening dew and dAmps;
| / have read His righteous sentence
by the dim and fiaring lamps
His day is marching on.
81 have read fiery gospel, writ il
! Furnished rows of steel;
AS ye deal with my contemners, 81
with you my grace shall deal
Let the hero, born of woman, crusf
the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.
"He las sounded forth the trumpe
that shall never call retreat
He Is sitting out the hearts of mer
before his Judgment seat;
O, be swift. my SOUL to answer Him
be jubilant my feet;
Our God is marching on.
"In the beauty of the lilies Chris
was born across the sea,
With a glory In His bosom thu
transfigures you and me;
AS he died to make men holy, let u,
die to make men free,
! While God is msrching on"

BLIND LEGISLATqONa =

n BECAUSE of early education in
X economic principles and subse-
quent adherence to party tenets,
the leaders of the Democratic party
seem unable to take long distance
view of the best interests of Amer
lean industry. They legislate for the
present and let the future take care
OF itself. That policy is at the foun-
dalton of their tariff ideas. They
see an opportunity for the American
consumer to get his commodities a
little cheaper by buying from some
country where wages are low, and
pass a free-trade law which short
ly puts the American manufacturer
out of business and leaves the Amer
ican consumer without an income
with which to buy at any price.
Just so. too, with their proposed
repeal of the drawback on sugar.
Under that provision, IL an American
refiner imports raw sugar and pays
a duty. and then exports the refined
product, he gets return of the
duty. That encourages manufacture
in this country. Prior to the war,
Great Britain bought most of her
sugar in Germany and other Contl-

CONTRARY to custom, The ST.
lent Partner for September is
printing considerable worse
songs that were used during the Civil
War. There is magical power that
springs from the hearts of men,
passing through great and passionate
experience. The song is necessary in
war. The martial song incites men
to heroic and perilous deeds.
The question of actual merit or
literary value has no place in the
consideration of q war song.
There are spirited marching tunes,
sentimental ballads, and outbursts of
fiery patriotism. And these songs
will live as an unfailing legacy to
inspire and delight.
The most popular song of the Civil
War was written by Charles Carroll
Sawyer-"When This Cruel War Is
Over" 1t is doubtful If any other
many American tongues. Listen:
Dearest love, do you remember,
When we last did meet.
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet?
oh, how proud you stood before me.
In your suit of blue.
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true.
Chorus:
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears isow vain!
Yet praying, when this cruel war is
over.
Praying that we meet again!"
The next song in popularity was a
sentimental Thought written by
George Frederick Root-"Just Be-
fore the Battle, Mother" It's pathos
and simplicity touched every heart.
Listen;
"Just before the battle. mother,
l am thinking most of you,
While upon the field we're watch
/ ing,
With the enemy in view.
Comrades brave are round me ly-
ing,
Filled with thoughts of home and
God;
For we'll they know that on the
morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Chorus:
Farewell. mother. you may never
You may never, mother,
Press me to your breast again;
But oh, you'll not forget me-,
Mother-you will not forget me,
If I'm Numbered with the slain"
Many of the marching songs of the
Civil War have passed into oblivion
Their strldent jeers have been for
gotten. But one of the earliest poems
of the conflict was a fervid call OF
Maryland, My Maryland"
This song will live, by reason OF
It's martial ring and splendid vigor
for years and years to come. Listen:
Thou wilt not cover in the dust
Maryland; my Maryland!
Thy cleaning sword shall never
rust, Maryland! my Maryland;
Remember Carroll's sacred trust.
Remember Howard's warlike thrust
And all thy slumb'rers with the
just,
Maryland! my Maryland!

SPIRIT OF THE VOLUNTEER

"HE spirit of the volunteer is not
dead in America. The govern
ment reports that over million
men were in the armed service of the
nation before the draft quotas were
called. William ]. Bryan predicted
better than he knew when he said
war would bring million men rush
ing to arms. Harrisburg, for ex-
ample, has sent nearly 1000 into
the army and navy, Doubtless there
would have been many more had 1t
not been for the adoption of the
draft act, resulting in thousands of
young men holding back for the
operation OF the new law.

At the Opera House

A large and appreciative audience
assembled at the New Opera House
last Tuesday night, to witness put
ting on the screen the S'I.ife of Christ"
To those who are biblical students and
also to those who had only slight IN
derstanding of this great event, that
meant so much TO humanity-the pro-
trayal of Christ's life from the es-
pousal of Joseph and Mary, the birth
of the babe in the Manager, his work
down TO the crucifixtion, seemed
very realistic. A profound spirit of
reverence seemed to come over the
large adience such as is rarely seen
in a moving picture audience, and
marked attention was given to each
Of the seven reels. 1t was a great pic

history have borne unimpeachable
testimony to the reliability of divine

SORT YOUR WASTE PAPER.
Higher Prices are Paid If the Grade
Are Classified.

Higher Prices are Paid If the Grades
Are Classified.
According to investigation begun
by a committee of the American
Chemical Society, storekeepers and
householders might get better returns
from sales of waste paper to itinerant
collectors If they would make some
attempt at sorting out the material
before they offered it for disposal.
The collectors of mixed waste paper
will readily pay higher prices for the
material when 1T is offered to them
in separate fat bundles carefully di-
vided into various sorts, such as
magazines account books, ledgers,
brown wrapping, newspapers and
common mixed paper trash, includ-
ing paper boxes.
The price paid by collectors for the
hodge podge bundles of waste papers
made ready for them by housewives
and servants is forty cents per one
hundred pounds. A bundle of this
kind may contain anything from
scraps of letter paper to leaves OF led
ger paper, magazines, pamphlets,
books and newspapers, worth to the
dealer anywhere from 81 to so cents
per one hundred pounds delivered at
the mill. For ordinary grades Of
IIldSdZl11O paper LIE Hills ACN pa
form 50 to $3.50 per one hundred
pounds, but storekeepers and house
wives seldom realize more than sixty
cents from sales of magazines and ac-
cmnulations, and when monthly
magazine are indiscriminateIy lump
ed with newspapers and telephone
books, for example forty cents is the
highest price that can be obtained
for them from collectors.
Less than half the paper used in
the city finds its way back to paper
stock companies for conversion into
new paper. At this time particularly,
when the country confronts a serious
condition in its paper supply, it is
worth money to them, and in the
course of a year the waste paper of
any home can be turned into into a
considerable item of pin money.
Newspapers, magazines, wrapping
paper-discarded paper of any kind
that is fit for making over-will be
bought by the paper stock houses. L
all the waste paper fit for conversion
were turned back to paper houses II
would tend to reduce the paper short

Mr.. Maitland was in consultation with
Mayor Chittenden, and other officers
of the city in regard to the pavement
of North Main Street, from Chestnut
Street to Ash Street, where the new
depot is to be located. He was conf
dent that there would be no hitch and
that the railroad authorities would do
as the city requested. Mr.. Maitland
was talking about parking the ground
between the paving and the railroad
track. He made inquiries about wa
ter, etc. This looks like the Company
intends getting busy at once.
