Charles M. Schwab says

Mr.. Carnegie's personality would
enthuse anybody who worked for him.
He had the broad views of a really
big man. He was not bothered with
the finicky little things that trouble
so many people. When he made me
manager Mr.. Carnegie said:
Now. boy, you will see a good
many things which you mustn't notice.
Don't blame your men for trivial
faults. If you do. you will dishearten
them"
When 1 want to find fault with my
men I say nothing when 1 go through
their departments. II 1 were salts
fed would praise them. My silence
hurts them more than anything else
in the world, and 1t doesn't give Of
fense. 1t makes them think and work
harder.

sits. day after day. preaching high
protection to American industry,
working for it day and night, and
having no other rival interest in leg
islation. Moreover, Mr.. Martin has
a new seat in, the Ways and Means
Committee. where he can do some
thing more than talk. where he can
argue and vote. and where he will
have an important hand in drafting
tho new protective tariff law which
he predicts will be on the statute
books before another year rolls
around.
And, let US repeat it. he represents
a Louisiana district In addition TO
being one of the most ardent pro-
tectionists in Congress, he is the only
protectionist from the solid Demo-
cratic section of the South, and he
is the first non-Democratic repre-
sentative to be sent from Louisiana
since the days of reconstruction. AS
such, his presence in Congress seems
to be portentious; it seems to indi-
cate a new attitude in the South
toward economic questions. to be
the forerunner of a new day.
In 1.-THE Observer" of current issue
he says:
am not a sectional protection
list. l am for protection all along
the line. L believe in America
first. l believe that sugar should
be given immediate protection, be-
cause Congress has recently held
hearings on the subject and
knows exactly what to do: but
am for adequate protection to all
other American products as soon
as the hearings can be held. The
Underwood tariff law is n failure
the Democrats themselves ad-
init that fact, and a majority OF
both parties in Congress are
agreed that we must have high
protection imme mediately so as to be
in a safe industrial position when
peace comes.
Mr. Martin is right; sectional pro-
lection does not pay. What hap
pened to sugar when the Underwood
tariff became operative will happen
to dyestuffs when peace is restored
unless it lis properly protected.

GOOD FOR HARRISBURG

MO longer will the Boy Scout
movement languish in Har-
risburg for lack of popu-
lar support and organized supervi-
sion. Thanks to the Rotary Club
and those who so generously sup
ported the campaign which that or
ganization fathered, sufficient money
has been subscribed to finance the
movement here for three years, and
by that time it will have been so
we'll established that it will never
languish.
AS the able and energetic national
organizer, Lewis Buddy. so aptly put
1t in a speech the other day, Harris
burg will reap the full harvest of
what it has sowed this week ten,
twenty and thirty years hence, when
the Boy Scouts OF to-day themselves
are the fathers of sons stronger
and better because of the clean, ac-
tive lives of the little lads now
budding into Scouthood.
This city never has Withheld its
support from a worthy cause. I'm
der the leadership of Howard c..
Fry, George W. Reinoehl and the
campaigners who gave freely of both
their time and their money, the city
has taken another step forward. 1t
was a strenuous task while it lasted,
but those who made the sacrifice
have the reward that lies in knowl-
edge of duty well done-and some
thing else, too, memory of
pleasant companionship and the
very real personal benefit of friend

waited In the trying circumstances of
public service. Harrisburg owes a
debt of gratitude to all who partici-
pated.

THE ATTACKS ON DONOHOE

The attacks National Committeeman Donohoe by the Wickersham press easily understandable The Wickersham press is trying to discred MT Donohoe because he is head of the Democratic organization that is supporting Alaskas Representa- tive in Congressthe chosen leader of his partyand giving him all aid that it in his work for the people of the North The Wickersham press believes politics before it believes in the welfare of the Territory therefore it hopes that Delegate Suzer and the administration in Alaska may fail. It would like than anything else in the world to see the peo pig of the Egrhory bseemes displeased with their gov and their treatment by the administration at Washington. It thinks if they do become displeased they will vote for Wickersham and Wckershamites at the next election.
 The Wckersham outfit is playing politics all of the time On the other hand MT. Donohoe is doing what he to aid in getting things lined so that there may be solid backing behind Delegate Suzer and the program which approved by the people of Alaska when he elected. In other words, MT Donohoe is and has been true to the trust that reposed in him when the Democratic Territorial venton made him National Committeeman last May, and there is question at all but that the Democratic voters of Alaska behind him, is a jory of the people who striving to bring about Alaskan development and Northern progress.
