1 knew that hamlet well: a single
Bordered with cottages, where faces

wives at their household tasks. and
mild old men
Dreaming their younger yesterdays
again
In silent sunshine-smiled at every
one;
Where, with the setting of the gentle
sun,
The husbands from the fields came
singing home,
And when their children all day long
would roam
Till evening, when the whispering
poplar boughS
Echoed the music of young lovers
vows.
A hundred years it had been So
l knew that hamlet one BRIEF month
ago.
Then 1 came back; a single house
stood there;
The rest were smoke upon the Au-
gust air
And ruins in the obliterated road.
A gray-garbed sentry through the
ashes strobe;
An old mans body, white hair
splashed with red,
Lay in the gutter; toward a black
ened shed.
Flushed face aglow and savage lip
a-curl,
A death-grimed soldier dragged a lit
tie girl;
A strangled baby lay beside the
stream;
Far in the dusk I heard a woman
scream,
And from the inn-porch, dark with
blood and wine,
Roared forth the chorus OF the
Wacht Am Rhein.

On His Mettle

Many a young man is claiming ex-
emption from military duty now
who will regret that action for the
whole remainder of his natural life.
This is the finest opportunity he will
likely ever have to prove his mettle.
Those who show the right spirit will
not only have the respect of their
fellows as long as they live. but will
always enjoy that which is vastly
better their own self-respect.-Punx-

Could any stories OF the doings OF

pleased to print these letters to the

Riverside must inevitably become
part of Harrisburg, and in view of the
past experience in annexation mat
ters the sooner the nuptials take place
the better. What may seem a big bill
for existing utilities in the suburban

the light of greater expenditures for
other things in the event of further
postponement. The time for taking
Riverside into the Harrisburg family
Is to-day.

YOUR DUTY. MIR. CITIZEN

YOUR DUTY. MIR. CITIZEN
THOR sixteen ears Harrisburg has
- been going ahead in way to
command the admiration of all
the municipalities of Pennsylvania,
We must not move backward. We
are sending our men to the battle
line for the liberties of the world and
those of us who remain at home
should not in the slightest degree lose
our interest or our zeal in the maxi
ing of a city fit for the people of
this day and those to follow us.
There are some weaknesses in our
present municipal organization which
must be overcome. To an extent that
is sometimes discouraging the men
of vision in this community are los
ing interest in the administration of
local affairs. Encouragement has
followed the ascendency of little men
here and there to places of power,
and unless there shall be a quick
right about face we are certain to
see the progress of Harrisburg take
the backward track.
1t is sometimes the unpleasant func-
ton Of newspaper devoted to the
public welfare to point out defects
Of administration in those charged
with public duties, but it is much
more pleasant to applaud good and
consistent public service rather than
criticise shortcomings. This news
paper has striven in every way pos
sible to aid the local administration
through commentator of good
work, but we fear the time is not
far away when there must be a diff
ferent course towards those who ap-
pear wholly Indifferent to responsible
duties and public opinion.
We are about to choose a new
group of public officials, a consider
able number of names of weII-knowr
citizens having been submitted for
the consideration of voters. These
are the stockholders of the mupio,-
pality who must determine those best
qualified to serve as directors of the
municipal corporation. Mere good
will and good fellowship and all that
sort of thing should not count in
making the choice. Fitness for the
public service, devotion to the inter-
ests of the people of Harrisburg in
all walks of life and a desire to con-
tinue in every possible way the city's
development ought to be the prime
requisites of every man chosen to
public place. But this will not hap-
pen unless and until the voters them
selves become aroused to the i'm
portance of their own duty In the
premises. They have no right to per-
NIT an election to go by default in
any particular and then rise in pro-
test when 1t is too late. Now is the
time to investigate the qualifications
of every candidate in the field.
1t is up to you, Mr.. Tax Payer
to go over the list and discover for
yourself and through proper inquiry
of your neighbor how this or that in
dividual Is qualified for disinterested
public service.

We must hand it to Mayor Smith,
of Philadelphia. He seems to have
tanned the foolish Republican factions
in that city so that they now enter
his presence as fierce foes only to
emerge a few minutes later arm-in-
arm whistling I'VE are a band OF
brothers."

Meanwhile, the particular kind of
garbage disposal system can wait a
proper decision. 1t is not clear that
we want the present antique plant of
the private contractor, or even an in
cinerating plant. There may be other
and more modern ways of disposing of
the waste of the city which will be
in the nature of conservation and
economy at one and the same time.

We love thee, Pennsylvania, thy
rocks and hills and dells,
The smiling, verdant valleys, where
sweet contentment dwells.
We breathe the air of freedom, and
pray God it may last,
And nothing mar the greatness, or
the glory of thy past.
We love thee. Pennsylvania, we
gladly sing thy praise,
We pledge to thee devotion, through
all the coming days.
Thy fame we proudly cherish, thy
honor we'll uphold,
Well play our part with courage, as
our fathers did of old.
Chorus
Dear Pennsylvania, grand old Key

Steadfast and loyal to all that's
truly great;
When duty calls thee, thou hast led
the way.
We love thee and we'd die for thee,
Dear old Penn-syl-va-ni-a.
