District Board for Exemp.
ton Certifies Back to the
Local Board Long List
of Men for Service.
PICK QUOTA IN A WEEK

The County Board Of Exemption is
now ready to pick the quota Of forty
National Army as the District Exemp-
ton Board in Racine has certified back
to the County Board the names of
nearly sixty men who are to be called
into the military service. The certi-
fcation of this list of names practically
cleans up the work Of the District
Board so far as the men in Kenosha
county are concerned. I'VE have not
as yet picked the men to go with the
the next quota,' said member of the
exemption board today, "because we
have been notified that there will be
plenty Of notice given before the men
are expected to go to Battle Creek.
We do not anticipate any call before
the latter part of this month, and this
will give us a chance to pick the men
in time for them to arrange their af-
fairs. With these sixty men certified
back to US by the district board, we
will have enough to insure the filing
up of the full quotas of the county
We now have some forty-fve men ac-
cepted in the army and as the whole
quota for the county is only hundred
these will take care of the rest of the
demand, although there will not be
very big margin for the picking
of the a1ternates.
Men throughout the county are be-
ing notified to hold themselves in readi-
ness for call at any time, but the
fred cards" have not as yet been
sent out. The list of men from which
the third quota of forty men will
be picked follows:

LEADERS OF MEN

A \ interesting phase of the war
n activities in this country is the
development of leadership in
every community. Men, women and
children are giving of their best ef-
fort to the promotion of the various
movements for the building up of the
national defense and the organization
of our forces in the field.
An example of this unselfish and
active leadership is Quincy Bent the
head of the Steelton plant of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. Burdened
with great responsibilities in the
conduct of large and expanding in
dustrial plant, Mr.. Bent has never
theless found time to lead in all
movements since the entrance of the
United States into the war. He has
also been proud to march at the head
of the different contingents from
Steelton which have gone to the
front.
1t is this type of fine American
manhood which has been so largely
developed under our American insti-
tutions that gives confidence to those
who are directing the affairs of the
nation. There are thousands like him
and all over the country these men
are doing their bit for worldwide
liberty and justice and the rights of
man.

MOVIE ASSESSMENTS

IL the Editor Of the Telegraph:
, Why should the moving picture
houses of Harrisburg increase the
price of admission fifty per cent.
when the war tax imposed upon
them is only ten per cent? 1t is a
rank imposition on the pleasure low
ing public and the houses that per-
sist in taking advantage of their pa
irons should be boycotted The New
York houses and no doubt houses
all over the country have posted the
following schedule of prices:
Ten cent admissions increased to
eleven cents.
Fifteen cent admissions increased
to seventeen cents.
Twenty-Five cent admissions in
creased to twenty-eight cents.
It seems that in all lines of trade
the tendency is to rob the public.
The grocer has increased prices
twenty-five per cent. although he
may be obliged to pay only ten per
cent. more for his merchandise. and
the candy man has increased the
price of candy twenty-five to fifty
per cent. a pound, although he pays
only two or three cents more a pound
for sugar.
The producers of moving pictures
in this city are particularly FORUM
ate in that there are only three
houses in the central part of the
city with a great multitude of peo-
ple to draw from. Most other cities
have two or three times as many
places of amusement. There is such
thing as killing the goose that
lays the golden egg"

THE FUEDIST

The following ballad, I"Will War
ner, is taken from a collection of
ballads by William Aspenwall Brad
ley, entitled Old Christmas and Other
Kentucky Tales in Verse" (Hough-
ton Mifflin). Mr.. Bradley vagabond-
ed some months in the Kentucky
mountains, and was laid up there
with the fever" some months more.
So both in health and in sickness he
had a chance to fathom the noun
taineer spirit, which he has tried to
render by these ballads, not so much
in the dialect as in the essence:
Shot in the back in the courthouse
square
BY dog of Darrell skulking there,
VIII Warner staggered and clutched
the air.
Clutched the air, and the world went
black
For an age, it seemed, then the light
came back,
And, as in dream, he sought the
shack.
Shot in the back, so the spine came
through
With the squirting blood, as each
foot he drew,
Will Warner was near to his death,
ne knew.
Near to his death, and his heart
grew gray.
Each of his brothers had passed this
way.
He had paid their score. Who now
would pay?
Jeff. as he drank at a creekside
spring,
Ned, at the plough, had felt the
sting,
Cal, as he rode to his infaring.
But death for a death the dogs had
paid.
Three Darrells low in their graves
were laid.
Must the fourth go ever unafraid?
Still as he pondered the unpaid
score,
He saw his mother who stood in the
door,
AS she had stood there thrice before.
Sombre and silent, no word she said.
But drew the covers down on the ned
That had held the living and held the
dead.
No word she said, but on cats feet
crept
Through the firelit room where her
watch she kept
Ger her baby, her least one, who
woke and slept.
Woke, then slept but to wake again,
Slept with the weakness, woke with
the pain,
And bee that buzzed and doomed
in his brain.
And only once from his lips came a
cry.
law, viii, quit that! If we've got to
die,
Die like a Warner!" with flashing
eye
Flung his mother. Ere night she
had laid him straight,
And all on her shoulders had borne
his weight
Up the steep hillside, to the grave
house gate.
She bore him up and she dug him
deep,
And she left him alone in the earth
to sleep,
Then stumbled back to the shack
to weep.

GAVE TO cOLORED CAUSE
Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 3, 1917.
4. - L. IL

HARRISBURG, ga., NOV. 81 1917.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
We note by the Harrisburg Patriot
that capital is made, apparently for
political purposes, out of the fact
that Alderman Hoverter, candidate
for mayor, contributed toward the
fund to defray expenses incurred in
connection with farewell parade for
colored men on Monday and in ius-
tice and fairness to Alderman Hover
ter, permit me to state that such con-
tribution was solicited on patriotic,
not political grounds, and must be
considered same as contributions in
the category of Smokes" for the
boys in the trenches, etc.
We are unable to determine why
any question is raised relative to the
contribution from Mr.. Hoverter, as
he is not the only person who con-
tributed toward the cause, and his
motive cannot or should not be ques-
toned However, IL from a patriotic
standpoint he should have refused to
contribute question might have been
raised about his sincerity for the
cause.
If you can arrange to give this
prominence in your paper same will
be appreciated by,

nents of the draft last spring. Sc
lective service is the last resort in
country where compulsory service is
not the rule, This country faces a
crisis. We know now that those at
Washington who planned the war on.
a scale undreamed of by millions of
their fellow countrymen, were fully.
aware of what they were doing. In
other words we realize to-day why
the draft was necessary
And because the draft was con-
ceived to meet great emergency
there were many places where the
machinery did not run smoothly. Or
ders and rules and regulations
streamed from Washington by wire
and mall. Day after day brought
changes. Orders were contradictory,
altered with little notice or can
celled. Boards simply had to work
out their own salvation. The State
registration headquarters tried to
help them, but 1t had its own trou-
bles with Washington. We are now
informed that a plan hos been de-
vised to lessen the work and make
easier the burden under the second
call. This will be good news to thou
sands of homes because anticipation
is one of the worst features of the
draft.
So, at this time, when the national
government is laboring to secure
more orderly procedure in a gigantic
national undertaking. the men who
bore the burden are entitled to praise,
not blame, for what they did. Some
have lost lifelong friends and under
gone experiences which they would
not have endured for a minute in
their business life. They struggled
with instructions that were drawn be-
fore q man from our complex in
dustrial and social system was listed;
they were bound by red tape; they
were forced to do clerical work whose
value is doubtful and they stood
abuse.
Members of the draft boards, some
of whom have not yet been paid the
small allowance provided by the gov
ernment and many of whom will re-
fuse it as did patriotic registration
boards, will probably not have much
more than the consciousness of work
we'll done, but their unselfish service
to the public in a time of war un-
equalled must not be forgotten.

&c the Editor of the Telegraph:
On Saturday 1 read in your news
paper an extract from the Philadel-
phla North American saying that TO
Dauphin county judges belongs most
of the credit for the victory of the
independent Town Meeting Party
voters in Philadelphia in their fight
for Justice before the State Supreme
Court. Judges Kunkel and McCar-
rell were praised to the skies for
the Justice of their election case de-
cisions.
Now let us see-was it not Judge
kunkel and Judge McCarrell who
were held up to us as machine poll
ticians" and unfit material for
Sudge" by the Mccormick owned
newspaper in this city?
We all rem ember how they were
assailed and how blackly they were
painted simply because they refused
to bow the knee to McCormiclkism
and Democracy.
This being true, how then are we
to believe any of the other libels
this newspaper is accustomed to
print about other Harrisburgers? Is
1t not soon time the public gets
awake to the kind of a serpent it is
warming in its bosom?

CHARLES r., PASS

NHARLES E. PASS, Republican
candidate for prothonotary, is
deserving of the vote of every
man in Dauphin county who believes
that hard work and persevering ef-
fort should be rewarded. Mr.. Pass
was born in Harrisburg and has lived
here all his life. Although a young
man, twenty-five of his working years
were spent in the service of one en-
ployer, whom he left only to better
his own condition. This is as good a
recommendation as one might ask,
but he has others.
Mr.. Pass is a speaker of ability
and during extensive travels over the
country in the line of duty, has been
called upon to deliver addresses in
many cities. He was one of the
young men who served in city council
during the trying days when the
city's public improvement plans were
in their formative state and to his
credit be it said that he was one of
those who saved the street paving
situation when it was on the verge
of becoming involved in a contrac-
tors squabble that might have ruined
the whole program. During his per-
iod of service he became so imbued
with the advantages of his home city
that wherever he spoke since he has
told the story of Harrisburg. He mas
been a consistent advertiser of his
home town.
Not only that, but he is a man
of good reputation and of spotless
personal character. The only Of
Tense he has ever committed, in the
opinion of his political opponents, is
the crime of being a staunch and
loyal Republican and that is hardly
going to count against him in a coun-
ty that is Republican by an over
whelming majority and which will
roll up a big majority for all Re.
publican candidates tomorrow.

the days when the Wares joined with
James p. McNichol, Boies Penrose
and Israel w. Durham in combating
various revolts of independents, Ed
was the suavest, most even-tempered
man who sat around the council
table. His advice then was valu-
able because he kept his feet on the
ground and never permitted temper
to obscure his vision. He then took
the position that a politician, like n
prizefighter, gives his opponents a
big advantage when he loses his tenn

his younger days apparently he has
forgotten. He has taken the attacks
