CoLoRED RACE ADVANCING

EARNEST and consecrated lead.
= ers of the several denominations
represented by their race in this
city and Steelton are now conducting
an INSTRUMENTATION conference of
the ministers which is bound to prove
of lasting benefit to the large con-
gregations which they represent in
Harrisburg and vicinity.
Often the outbreak of a few colored
men is taken as an evidence of racial
degeneracy when as matter of fact
the. forward movement among the
colored people is one of the most en-
couraging signs of recent years.
1t has been the pleasure of, this
newspaper frequently to refer to the
many admirable men who have stood
at the front of the excellent
movements designed to develop the
colored race in this community, among
these the late Rev. John Quincy
Adams, the Rev. w. II. Marshall and
others of like high character and
achievement.
The evangelistic services which are
now being held under the auspices of
this interdenominational conference
of the ministers of all the colored
churches are certain to result in great
good. 1t is said that no movement of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Tuskegee's Needs
Mc Editor of tie Tclcgrobh:

10 me Editor OF the IcIcgrdph:
Each year many students come to
Tuskagee Institute insutilciently clad.
Hitherto we have been able to make 1t
possible for such students to remain in
school through the generous assistance
of interested individuals and church
organizations who have kindly sent us
barrels and boxes containing various
articles of clothing.
AS the winter is now upon u.s. we
here appeal for clothing for these needy
students. New or secondhand gar
ments, either for wearing or bed use
can be utilized to excellent advantage
These things are not given outright
to the students, but a nominal price is
charged for them, for we believe that
by so doing we preserve the self-re-
spect of the recipients and encourage
them to feel that they must be self
depending.
We hope that there may be readers
of the Telegraph who will consider this
matter worth their sympathetic atten-
tion. A real service will be rendered
many a deserving boy and girl If suf-
ficient clothing can be assured them.
The Institute will gladly pay shipping
charges on any goods sent If it should
be so desired. Any help given in this
work will be gratefully appreciated.

that Judge Gordon would make a fine

The Brumbaugh forces will have

Finishing touches to the legisla-

time on Tuesday. Senator Penrose
met prominent leaders yesterday and
went over the whole field. The probe
resolution will appear Monday night.

committee. In less than a year the
primary campaign for Governor will

exception of mention of Senator Will

gresham ]. r. X. Scott of Philadel-
phia, there has been little said about
the possible Republican offerings" 1t
also says that Mccormick is said to
favor Guthrie as. candidate possess
ing all of the qualifications.
The Philadelphia Record to-day
says regarding the probe: THE sug-
gestion that the two eminent at
torneys were to be retained to con-
duct the probe of the Brumbaugh Ad-
ministration is believed to have been
given out from the Penrose headquar-
ters as a refutation of the reports
that the proposed investigation was
to be farce. Senator Penrose is un-
derstood to be determined not only
to have thorough Lousecleaning at
Harrisburg, but to have it conducted
in such manner that criticism will
not revert on his organization"
The Penrose war cabinet, at its
executive session yesterday, prepared
plans to bowl out another Ware man

Drives at Newspapers

There is a certain order of intelli-
gence that compliments itself by the
belief that it has done something of
superior brllliance when it takes a
crack at newspapers. II the motive can
be hidden behind some pretentious ethi-
cal aim, the acuteness is the more
pleasing. "Pillory the papers" is the
slogan of this class of annoying lillipu-
tians. They have neither the faculty
for fairness nor the ability to distin-
guish between serviceable endeavorers
and mischievous propensity. They oft
times sit in the seat of the scorner be-
cause they do not know enough to
realize that the object of their deris-
ion wears the badge OF respectability
with which they can never adorn them
selves.-From the Baltimore American

MARKET SQUARE TREATMENT

wv isle of safety and public COM
fort station in Market Square,
there is no occasion for misin-
terpreting motives or misconstruing
the attitude of those who are for
or against the proposition. 1t is
a matter for public discussion and
decision. The very fact that several
years have elapsed since the loan was
authorized for some changes in Mar
ket Square indicates that there has
been doubt in the public mind re-
garding the nature of the thing that
should be done.
So far as the public comfort fea-
ture of the scheme is concerned, we
believe that there is a decided spirit
of opposition, and it doesn't neces-
sarily follow that this opposition is
inspired by selfish interests. So far
as this particular newspaper is con-
cerned, it believes. that the public
comfort stations when established
should be in a more suitable location
than the open plaza of the central
business district. This is an important
matter and must be approached with
fair mindedness and disposition to
consider all phases of the subject.
If the experts who will be retained
by tie city to develop a plan for the
handling of the traffic shall solve the
problem in some practical fashion
the movement will have no more
earnest support than the Telegraph,
but ss we see it now and as the propo-
sition has been developed thus far the
placing of a public comfort station
in the heart of Market square is con-
trary to our sense of the proprieties
and step in the wrong direction.
There should be suitable public
comfort facilities in the shopping dis
trict, of course, and these should have
been supplied by the city long ago.
1t isn't a question of refusing to pro-
vide such facilities, but it is a ques-
tion whether the Market Square prop
osition is not inherently weak
One of the objections to the closing
of Market street east and west
through the square is the fact that
the opStfuctlon OF the monument at
Second and State streets is regarded
as a reason for the removal of that
shaft to some other location. Should
the intersection of Market and Second
streets be similarly obstructed it may
become a question whether the traffic
conditions would not be made worse
than they now are.
However, the problem is too big to
be settled in any hasty or ill-consid-
cred fashion. Every angle must be
viewed with regard to the present and
the future. Already the experts lave
disagreed on the solution of the prob
lem and council doubtless will go
over everything involved in the whole
situation.

FOUR YEARS OF 1T
By BRIGGS

over the party nomination for speak,
er, IN the Senate over the first thing
that either the Old Guard or the Pro-
gressive may propose. In that fight
senator Hiram w. Johnson of Cali
Iornla will be the Progressive leader,
and as he has in him the qualities of
real leadership, something no Pro-
gresSlVe in congress has yet displayed,
there will be a real battle. Also, as
he has in him a ferocious pugnacity
and gift for making enemies that
matches his gift for making friends,
the warfare that will break out will
make the Stalwart- Half breed fight
of 1881 look like a high school de-
bate. Nor will this fight end before
1920, the year of the next presidential
election; it will merely grow deeper
and more embittered. William Allen
White spoke the truth when he said
of the two factions, as far back as
last October:
They stand for different ideals
of government, for different
methods of administration, for
different aims of life. The con-
flict may not be compromised
nor patched up. 1t can be settled
only by surrender on one side or
the other.
A house divided against itself can
not stand; but, as Lincoln said in re-
calling that fact, he expected it not
to fall, but to become "all one thing
or all the other" That is precisely
the theory on which the contendine
hosts of today are proceeding; the
Old Guard may deny it with their lips
but not with their acts, and the Pro.
gressives will not deny it at all. The
great fight happens to have started
with a skirmish over an aggression
by the Old Guard, through Mr.. Hem.
enway, and possibly Mr.. Crane, but
1t might as well have been begun by
some aggression from the other side
The cause is immaterial Some cause
was sure to be given. DonnybrooR
fair has begun, to last four years, and
the last shillalah will not be dropped
when the next Republican convention
meets.

THE GILCHRIsT MEMORIAL

v SeTNlCe
for the late DR.. w. w. Gilchrist
Monday evening in Zion Luth-
eran Church, is no more than proper
acknowledgment of the city's debt
in a musical way to the late lamented
composer and conductor. DR.. Gill
christ. as leader of the Harrisburg
Choral Society, did more for the musi-
cal uplift of Harrisburg than any
other one man, and it is fitting that
his work should be remembered.
The local memorial is in line with
the efforts of his friends in Philadel-
phia to keep his memory green in his
home city. Musicians there will raise a
fund for the placing of a bronze me-
dallion in the Academy of Music and
one or more scholarships in his name
will be established in the musical de-
partment of the University of Pena-
sylvania.

THE BRoTHERHooD,s PLAN

wv G. LEE. head of the Brother
w hood of Railroad Trainmen,
suggested common-sense plan
for the settlement of railroad labor
disputes when yesterday he recon-
mended the creation of a board of
arbitration of eight members. equally
divided between railway workers and
operating officials. There would be
few deadlocks on such board, Mr..
Lee believes, despite the fact that it
would be evenly divided. Men who
know their subject as these men
should would be seldom without a
majority" he said, and there is reason
to believe he is right.
The greatest difficulty in the ne
gotiations which led up to the passage
of the Adamson lava statute that
has proved unsatisfactory to both
brotherhood leaders and railroad Of
ficials--was the mutual suspicion of
unions and managers. Each acted as
though the other was entirely in the
wrong, which was not true. There are
two sides to every controversy, and
there were two sides to this. Each
was afraid the other was going to try
to take advantage of the other.
With such a board as Mr.. Lee sug-
gests. both sides would be sure from
the outstart of square deal. The
worst that could happen would be
tie vote on any dispute, and the ex-
treme probability would be that before
the board would acknowledge it's fail
ure and ruin it's future the members
would hit upon a compromise which
both sides in the dispute could accept
1t is only the foolish who believe
bent on strike last fall. What the
rank and file of the members wanted
was a settlement of the dispute on
anything like favorable terms.
it is good sign when the railroad
brotherhoods, which have been re-
garded for years as the highest types
and the most conservative of labor
unions, come forward with recon-
mendations for constructive legislation
designed to settle labor disputes amic-
ably by arbitration.
If Congress is wise it will adopt
Mr.. Lees suggestions, thereby banish-
ing at once all likelihood of strike
on the eight-hour or any other ques-
ton, and giving both the labor unions
and the railroads q square deal on
terms the fairness of which is not
open to debate.

Philadelphia Papers Go Up

At the end of this month the price of
all Philadelphia newspapers will be ad-
There is no other commodity which
costs so much to produce as a news
paper and which sells for cent You
may pay for one copy of book dol
lar but it doesn't by any means cost
a hundred times as much to print one
book as 1t does to make one newspaper.
Much the biggest single item OF ex-
pense in printing a large newspaper is
the cost of the white paper. Since the
price Of white paper has virtually
doubled, 1t often happens that the
money paid for the blank paper used is
greater than the sum which the pub
Usher of penny newspaper receives
for a printed copy.
When the London Times was making
itself the greatest newspaper of tho
world the price of the Thunderer" was
ten cents a copy.-Girard, in the Phiia-

Lieutenant to Rear Admiral

The catapulting of DR.. Cary II. Gray
son from the rank of Lieutenant into
that of Rear Admiral Of the Navy, as
proposed by President Wilson and Sec
retary Daniels, is so sensational an ap-
plication of the principle of selection in
naval promotions that It is. not surpris-
ing to learn that naval circles at the
National Capital are deeply stirred. DIR.
Grayson is passed assistant surgeon
who fer several years has filled the as
signment of watching over the health
of the President of the United States
He has apparently performed this duty
well, and the addition of a pleasing
personality has made him persona grata
not only to the present occupant OF the
White House, but to more than one of
his predecessors. Whether this service
arduous as II may have been. has dem
onstrated DR.. Graysons fitness to fiji
the position of medical director of the

mischievous principle of an ironbound
system of promotion by seniority and
what is proposed to be done in the pres
ent case that the merits of the two
methods of promotion are hardly drawn
into the controversy. But 1T is equally
certain that 1t is b gross injustice to
selection" should be made the excuse
for DISCRIMINATION so marked. 1t is in
conceivable that there could not be
found among the medical officers men
who by experience in the service more
varied than that which has devolved
upon DR.. Grayson as medical aid at the
White House are better fitted for the
wider responsibilities OF the medical dis
rector's office. If DIR. Grayson's wide
experience in the medical arm Of the
administrative ability above ali the one
hundred and fourteen who now outranlS
him, there might be less ground for
questioning the wisdom and Justice of
overlooking the others But the public
has yet to learn that anything but per-
sonal favor has been the moving inn
pulse in a promotion that probably has
no parallel in the military and naval
service of the United States.--PhiladeI-
