TINE best reason for not getting

Will little note nor long remember 1t

for control of the Republican party.
1t happened to begin here, but it
might as well have begun in Dubuque
or Skaneateles, or wherever two or

THE "NEWsIEs'" CONCERT

A PPROPRIATELY enough, the
n Department of Labor and Indus
try, through its commissioned
head, John Price Jackson, has taken
cognizance of the Harrisburg News
boys association, and is supporting
tie boys enthusiastically in their ef-
forts to raise money for their building
fund Commissioner Jackson, in a
letter to the newspapers, urges the
public to aid the young hustlers and
combine assistance with pleasure by
attending their concert next week
Ever since the "newsies'' trimmed
the Department nine IN a spirited
baseball game last summer, the men
and girls of the Department have
been waiting for a chance to get back
at their opponents OF the diamond.
And now that they have the oppor-
tunity, they are boosting for all each
of them is worth to the end that the
newsboys' building fund may soar.
If you want to delight the heart of
the little fellow who hands you your
paper in the evening and returns your
change with a small hand that is red
with cold. albeit a CHEEKY voice bids
you the top o. the evening, just buy
a ticket for the first annual concert.

SHADE TREE COMMISSION

DARK COMMISSIONER GROSS is
i quoted as favoring the creation of
Shade Tree Commission. He
should not only favor it in tentative
way but he should introduce an ordi-
nance without further delay providing
for such a commission as is already
doing an important work in other
cities.
With the information already in
the possession of the Department of
Parks through the investigation of
the city forester, who made a census
of the trees last year, it is obvious that
some definite steps must be taken to
save the trees of the city and provide
for the planting of others, unless we

citizens so generally. Amid the dis
eouragements of racial prejudice and
other factors which tend to make
their way difficult the colored people
of Harrisburg and Central Pennsyl-
vania are making conspicuous head
way. Such movements as the inter
UNCONVENTIONAL services now in pro-
gress contribute much to the advance
ment of the cause of civic righteous
ness and religious betterment.
