WORLDS DEBT TO ITALY

(Written for Italy-America Day
Celebration in New York
May "a, 1919
BY James Henry Darlington
Bishop of Harrisburg, Pa.
In the early days when Europe was
a wilderness unknown,
When the Goths and Huns dwelt
skinclsd in the huts they
called their own;
The light of Art in Sculpture and in
Painting shone in Rome,
Where all the learning of the
world was centered as it's
The fame which Greece had nur-
tu-ed now blazed up to larger
size,
And a World of Beauty blossomed
forth beneath Italian skies.
Then when Angelo and Raphael had
shown mankind great joy,
Newborn study of harmonies gave
peace without alloy.
Symphonic strains of instruments
with the human voice as well;
Sang in folk-songs of the Nations
what the people could not tell.
With endless changes Cor the ear a
World of Music grew.
And all men worshiped. wept and
laughed as Italy bade them
do.
Next Columbus from Italia saw a
new world in the west,
And sailing from Genoa put his
courage to the test.
Who else lost faith, he still had hope
and would not change his
course.
Till his sailors mutinied and swore
to stop him cen by force,
Thus Italy gave Columbia to tree
dom and mankind:
This made a Third New World
which God gave her the grace
to find.
Another son of Italy sailed south
instead of north
And Amerigo Vespucci gave his
name to World the Fourth.
Though other nations sailed the
seas, they feared to venture
west;
But North and South America
show Italians stood the test
Where-e'er there's hard work to be
done from North to Southern
Pole
Her sons are there. to Freedom
true, in body. mind and soul.
In recent years Marconi has a Fifth
World brought to view;
And wireless words now pierce the
air; most startling and most
new.
No more are ships crews hopeless
when their hulls are sinking
fast,
Earths distant ends can speak at
will: this best gift is the last.
Hail Garibaldi! Count Cavourl Your
noble king and queen!
We pledge our love to Italy; no
doubt shall come between.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-05-24
WAR POEM

Senator John Sharp Williams read
to the Senate a few days ago the
following poem. which he called a
Toast to the Kaiser" written by
George Morrow Mayo, formerly a
railway clerk, now a gunner's mate
in the navy:
Here's to the Blue of the wind-swept
North,
When we meet on the fields of
France;
May the spirit of Grant be with you
all
AS the sons of the North advance.
And here's to the Gray of the sun
kissed South,
When we meet on the fields of
France;
May the spirit of Lee be with you
AS the sons of the South advance.
And here's to the Blue and Gray as
one,
When we meet on the fields of
France:
May the spirit of God be with US
As, the sons Of the Flag advance.

MORE GARFIELDS?

~ OES the removal of Presidents
Rea and Willard as the active
operating heads of the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio
railroads mean that we are to have
more Garfields? Is the stupid blum
der of appointing theorists to be re-
peated? Are we to have railroad
! less days next winter as we had
| 'coalless" days last winter, because
| inexperienced men are to be placed
at the heads of our great railroad
systems as inexperienced men were
| put in charge of our coal distribu-
ton? God preserve us from any
such disaster. a disaster that would
approach catastrophe and be more
of a blow to our war plans than a
defeat of our armies in France.
Secretary McAdoo. by all means,
should tell the public in unmistak-
able terms just why he has seen fit
to side-track two of the admittedly
great railroad executives of the
country. Rea is one of the group of
high-type men who made the Penn
sylvania Railroad the standard of
the world. Willard brought the Bal
timore and Ohio from the brink of
ruin to its present high state of eff
ficiency and earning power, and was
the Presidents choice as head of the
railroad war board. Surely, it can
not he charged that they are ineffi-
cient.
More than all else we just now
need public confidence; confidence in
the operation of our great enter
prises, confidence in the government;
but we shall neither it, without ex-
PLANTATION. the government is to con-
tinue its course of replacing prac-
teal experienced executives with
textbook experts and school room
theorists. If Rea and Willard have
done anything that merits their dis
missal, the public should know 1t.
If it is m rely another case of par
tisan politics or administration tom
follery they should know that, too.

CAMPAIGN OVER

X ENATOR Sprouts nomination by
~ such an overwhelming major
ity as the Republican candidate
for Governor, the certainty of prac-
tically the whole vote for Mr.. O'Nen
going to the successful candidate,
and the utter decentralization of the
Democratic party means that Sena-
tor Sproul will be elected by one of
the largest pluralities in the history
OF the State.
1t also means that the campaign
of this year practically ended with
the primary balloting. Anybody who
has the temerity to indulge in politi-
cal activity during the next three
or four months will get mighty little
comfort from the common people.
