RIGHT, MR.. LYNCH!

N4NA~4 h4Ns - 1NSI1!
X oMMIssIoNER LYNCH has
~ sized the garbage collection sys-
tenn up correctly so far as col
lections from the curb are concerned.
Says he:
Harrisburgers are not educated
to the curb system. and don't be-
lieve would want to use it.
That is absolutely right. Mr..
Lynch as highway commissioner has
made Harrisburg famous the coun-
try over for its clean streets. Our
own people delight in this condition
and It is the constant remark of visi-
tors We do not intend to barter our
spotless highways for the litter and
filth of upset garbage and ash cans.
Mr.. Lynch will have the hearty
support of the public in whatever
he does to prevent this iniquity being
forced upon the city.

Scorn of thrift is one Of the most
ineradicable quantities of what We
might call the colored mind" 1t is
all very well for the family to Hoov-
erie but the greatest waste which
goes on is the waste in the kitchen. II
takes genius to give Dinah the vision

| not believe that the white folks ought
to save and how one or two potatoes

saved today are going to help those
poor folks over yonder is not going to
concern her.
What to do about the colored cook
is the central difficulty in the patriotic
Southern home. We may have meat
less, sweetless and heatless days but
until we have few cookIess ones, we
are not going to ucceed in saving rs
we should. There is the lookup ami
deai-out system, to be sure, but in
these days Of scarce labor, the house
keepers are learning that cooks DO
not work just for wages, and if one

pay the penalty Of waste, and leak

AN APPEAL.

IleFe ought no. 10 DC-lueIe must
not be be-a single empty stocking
in Americas this Christmas.
Yet there will be, unless there is
more generous response to the appeal
of the Associated Charities for con
tributions its Empty Stocking
Fund"
The Recorder has been eds
ignated custodian of this fund and
will receive all donations, publishing
the names of all contributors.
There is nothing more 'pitiful than
disappointed child on Christmas
morn. There is nothing more pathetic,
more heartrending, more appealing to
the sympathies.
When your own children are play
ing around the early morning fire,
gleefully happy over the wonderful
pretty things that Santa Claus has left
them, their stockings still han
from the mantle and filed to the top,
it is a sight that brings you a super
lative degree of happiness,
But how can you be happy when
you stop and think that somewhere
else in Americas, perhaps in your
very neighborhood, there are other
children whose hearts are heavy and
whose little stockings are empty? San
Ia Claus in his rounds has passed them
by
What more cruel than for a childs
implicit faith in Santa Claus to he
hopelessly shattered because on
Christmas morning there is no evil
dence in its house of his visit?
Probably you yourself knew what it
was to wake early on Christmas
morning and fnd-nothing; peering
through the window all day and watch
ing with crushed spirits the other
children exhibiting on the streets the
various things Santa Claus had left
them. Probably you yourself re-
member mothers grief, because she
had been unable to provide Santa
Claus presents for her loved ones.
Whatever sentiments and memories
you may now treasure in life, surely
there is one of them that will impsl
you TO think of those Americas child
r@H who now face the dismal prospect
Of an empty stocking Christmas.
The surest road to happiness is to
make hers happy. and there is 40
more certain way of bringing sun
shine into the lives of those who need
il most and will appreciate it most.
than by filing some child's empty
stocking.
The ladies of the Associated Char
tiles have kindly consented to handle
this fund, and there is no question but
that they will do so to the best posi-
Bile advantage. Give them a contri-
bution-do it today-send or bring
your money to The Times-Recorder
office, before it is too late.

PICKING ROBIN CLEAN.

reading W H. Fleming's dissection OF
Senator Hardwick's Stewardship
Speech.
Mr. Fleming is the Augusta lawyer
~Lo formerly represented the Tenth
district in Congress and who is splen.
didly equipped to discuss both the per-
sonal and public life of Senator Hard
wick.
AS to the former, Mr. Fleming says:
Mr.. Hardwick puts his moral
character in evidence. He refers
to his decent and respectable
single life" This is a subject
which was at one time discussed
with some heat between the Sen
ator and distinguished Georgian
But | do not want to refer to Mr.
Hardwick's private life, am CON
cerned right now with his pub
lie life. In his first race for
congress Mr. Hardwick had
slush fund so big, and, it was us
ed so promiscuously that he prom
ised never again to hold office
bought with whisky and money
He stood in with the liquor inter
est5 while they were in power
being liberal patron of their
product and a consistent defender
of their rights" as long as they
had the votes. No stream Of mere
words can wash that record clean.
The Hardwick speech is twelve col
umns long, and as tedious and as la
bored as it is prolix. But with inf
mite patience, Mr. Fleming has waded
Tito and through it, and he has picked
II as clean of meat as turkey on the
Gay after Thanksgiving. Here are Just
few salient and salty paragraphs
Mr. Hardwick is trying to as
sumo the role of martyr. What
claim has a Senator to the crown
of martyrdom wnen he has CON
stantIy Numbered on public meas
ures in the greatest crisis of our
country, and has obstinately pei
sisted in defying and thwarting to
the limit of his ability the plans
of wiser men, and even now boast
ingly proclaims his intention of
doing the same things over again?
He and one other Democrat de-
feated the shipping bill in a for
mer Congress. He says ninety per
cent of the people of Georgia
back his opposition to the draft
law. Then he is merely running
with the crowd, and is not
martyr But I do not believe the
people are either so ignorant or
so unpatriotic.
Various explanations have been
offered of Mr. Hardwick's peculiar
attitude. The most plausible one
to me is that he is suffering from
a case of "bumptious egotism"-N
and that is substantially the same
diagnosis made in the Senate
few weeks ago by John Sharp
Williams, Of Mississippi, who had
abundant opportunity to observe
at first hand the symptoms of this
malady, which, though seldom ia
tai, leaves but little hope for re-
covery
Really, Mr. Hardwick ought to
quit promulgating his views of
constitutional law. No member of
the Georgia bar so far as l know,
has ever been more thoroughly
discredited as a constitutional
lawyer
But after all the principal criticism
of Mr.. Hardwick is admirably and CO.
gently stated by Mr. Fleming in these
wards:
But after all else is said. the
chief cause of grievance and re-
sentiment which the good people
g Georgia have against Mr.. Hard
wick is his reputation of the
broad-minded craftsmanship and
noble sentiments and lofty pur-
poses of our country in entering
