Cincinnati-Severe cold weather
prevailed last week over the entire
south and southwest. The greater
part of the area had little or no snow
protection. Complaints have begun to
come in of frost damage. This is
particularly true in some portions Of
southern Michigan. northern Ohio and
Indiana where the freeze was preced-
ed by rain. In Kansas and Nebraska
there is the same complaint of many
fields heing covered with ice and there
is also complaint of lack of moisture
and high wind.

The Coming of Damrosch
Edilor "a the T'eIegrobh :

To the Editor Of the Telegraph:
AS we have not arrived" enough
musically to support an orchestra of
our own, it is a pleasure to hear that
we are to have with us next Tuesday
the New York Symphony Orchestra,
under the versatile conductor Walter
Damrosch. This pleasure is the greater
owing to its unexpectedness. 1t SEEM
ed, with the Choral Society concert
omitted, there would be no orchestral
music in Harrisburg this season.
Those of us who heard Mr.. Dam
rosch's orchestra at the dedication of
the Capitol, or remember the pleasure
of his appearance here two years ago
With Mischa Elman, fully realize that
next weeks concert means to this COM
munity. Mr.. Damrosch is one of the
great conductors of the world. Though
comparatively young man, he is the
dean of American conductors" as he
was a lad of but twenty-five when he
succeeded his father, DR.. Leopold Dam
rosch as leader of the New York SYM
phohy Society in 1886.
Mr.. Damrosch is a great leader be-
cause besides being truly musical he
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-01-30

IS also progressive. In the years when
many of our orchestras feared to touch
, the modern music, Walter Damrosch. a
pioneer, as his father before him. was
introducing to American audiences
Tschaikowsly, Rimsky- * orsakoff Ell
gar, Sibelius. Later he taught us to
appreciate Debussy, Dukas, Ravel, at a
time when most musicians considered
them eccentric to the point of un-
musicalness.
1t was my privilege at the dedica
tion of the Capitol to hear Mr. Dam
rosch from the orchestra side. Watch

| too.
| So many conductors are hampered
financially that it is delight to know
that since it's last visit to Harrisburg.
the New York Symphony Orchestra has
been endowed with about 100000 n
year. What this has meant in musical
development is already noticeable.
Therefore next Tuesday evening we
can count on hearing Mr.. Damrosch at
his best.
Mr.. Damrosch has a veritable gift of
discovering new artists. The man who
presented to America Paderewski, Sara
safe, Kreisler Lilli. Lehman, Gerster.
Won Bulow, is not to be fooled by
lmediocrity. Walter Damrosch took Paul
Althouse, the tenor of the coming
symphony concert, on one concert tour.
Then the Metropolitan Opera Company
of New York "snatched" him.
Since then his rise has been sensa-
tional. Without any experience he be-
came a star" and made a tremendous
hit in the difficult tenor role of "Dimi-
tri' in Boris Dodounoff. Though but
twenty-five years old he now shares
with Martinelli, the honors of being
one of the coming great operatic tenors
of the world.
The beauty of Paul Althouse's voice
is great. Better yet, he can sing with
feeling and exquisite Interpretation.
We Harrisburgers should give him a
rousing welcome. Besides being a mu-
sical celebrity who has made a sen.
sational rise to fame. he Is near neigh
Dor of ours from Reading. Pennsylva-
mia.

1915. Dun's and Bradstreet's both
showed a considerable decrease in
business failures.
just how much credit can be given
to prohibition for business betterment
cannot be estimated, but it was dem
onstrated absolutely that prohibition
did not hurt business and that 1t did
improve collections, increase the vol
ume of clothing, shoes, grocery and
furniture sales and allow many men
to keep at work who formerly lost
considerable time.
The Spokane county sheriff's office
operated during 1915 at an expense
$4,000 under the total for 1915. The
county government made a total saw
ing of $4,000 under the previous year.
The city government made a reduc-
ton of $4,000 in expenses and re-
ceipts in improvement, taxes gained
$4,000 over the previous year.
All of which is both interesting and
instructive, and explains why anti
saloon field days" draw large au-
diences-prohibition does prohibit.

many of the evils of intemperance

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
We have been noticing quite fire.
quently a certain individual knocking
on Harrisburg. 1t has become dis
gusting and nauseating beyond endur-
ance. Harrisburg is good enough for
the most of us who have lived here
many years and we do not need the
dictation of a newcomer who is of little
benefit in our midst. If there is TO be
any knocking let it come from tax
paying citizen or an old resident 1t
would seem that some individuals
would take this column as the medium
for cheap advertisement of their travels.
We don't know OF such terrible acts of
crime done in our residential sections
that would call for policemen to be
stationed all around that they would
be ever ready at our beck and call.
OF course, one day last summer two
young men were passing ball in front
of their homes and a certain individual
called frantically, Police! Police! But
no police heard the cry. Now on that
occasion a few extra police around
would have come in handy. Yes there
are others with modernized knowledge.
Let reformation first begin in the re-
former.
Mr.. Knocker go away back and sit
down; If Harrisburg isn't good enough
for you, why not take up your residence
in one of the up-to-date cities you have
seen during your extensive travels.
Sincerely yours
DISGUSTED.

VALUABLE WORK FOR HIS STATE

TENRY w. SHOEMAKER, pub
Usher and author, has just is
sued another of the valuable
little pamphlets which come at all too
infrequent periods from his pen. This
time he has devoted his attention to
EARLY Potters of Clinton County,
and he writes not only with authority
concerning this very early Pennsyl-
vania industry, but he interlards his
Information concerning the pottery of
the Indians and the effect of their
work in this line upon that of the
pioneers in clay products in early
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Shoemaker has devoted untold
time and much money to the collec-
ton of data concerning the early and
in many cases unwritten history of
his State, and particularly that hav-
ing to do with Indian and settler days
along the Susquehanna and Juniata
valleys. Unlike many another who
has made hobby of this kind of re-
search, he has not kept his knowledge
to himself. In years to come his
numerous books and pamphlets will
be widely read and closely scanned
by the searcher for secondhand
knowledge concerning the pioneer
days of Pennsylvania. Nearly every
thing that Mr.. Shoemaker has writ
ten has been acquired by patient re-
search and much of it is from word
of mouth of old residents, the descend.
ents of the me nand women who
blazed the trails for civilization
through the Susquehanna and the
Juniata valleys.

NEGROES COMING NORTH

u
TINE negroes of the North realize
that they, as we'll as their white
fellow citizens, have a problem
on their hands in the migration of
colored families of the South. The
colored people of Harrisburg have
paid dearly for the depredations of
some of the more undesirable of the
newcomers. They realize that the in
fiuX is not ended and that spring will
see a renewal of the rush North
where work is plentiful, wages higher
than in the South and opportunities
larger for the enjoyment of personal,
political and civil freedom.
The North is in sore need of the
labor of these men. If they are not
what we would have them when they
come. then we must endeavor to make
of them what we think they should
be. In this respect the following reso-
lutions recently passed by the Con-
ference of Negro Migration, under the
auspices of the Russell Sage Founda-
ton, are of particular interest:

poses:

To develop agencies and stimu-
late activities to meet those needs.
By training and health protec-
tion to increase the industrial eff
ticiency of negroes and to encourage
fairer attitude toward negro labor
especially in regard to hours, con-
dittons and regularity of work and
standard of wages.

We of the North owe it to these
as we'll as to ourselves to
take steps in the directions named.
Many of the Southern negroes come
here unused to the conditions under
which they are required to live. The
utmost care should be taken to guide
them into the place in the community
they should occupy.

of the Mines Committee chairmanship
last night was taken as notice that
Congressman Griest, Lancaster county
leader, need not be expected to look

Mr.. Griest has not been in favor of

his usual place in the Senate last
night. Lancaster had four chairman
ships in the last House and Mr.. Hess
got the only one this year. He is said
to have wanted to be a member of the
Appropriations Committee, but the
Speaker would not give 1t to him be-
cause he had a craftsmanship. Mr..
Hess was the only man who did not

got chairmanship. And he did not
want that.
