McCabe OF Albany Absent.

The Senate district controlled by Pat
rick Fl. MtCabe OF Albany was not rep.
resented. as he never named member
OF the committee. he was not In SYM
pathy with its purpose Of shelving Mr..
Hearst. and probably will be one OF the
main Hearst agents at Saratoga. There
were Ave members absent and unrepre-
scented by proxy, but there was no Sig
nifcance to those absences.
An attempt was made by Mr. Nam
ming and Mr.. Murphy to have the session
Of the committee open to the press but
they were voted down on the ground
that It would prevent frank expression
Of opinion. 1t was not found difficult,
however, to learn what had actually
happened.
Formal speeches were made on behalf
Of only three Of the candidates. John
T. Morrison Of Johnstown and Frank
Cooper OF Schenectady. heading a Lunn
committee from the Thirtieth Congress
district. were permitted to present his
claims. including the statement that he
was the man the Federal Administra-
ton would like to see named. George
w. O'Brien. local lawyer. spoke for
Charles H Hitchcock. and Mr.. Farley
and another representative from Bing-
hamton sang the praises of Mayor
Walker.
Then followed a general discussion
and an informal ballot. which brought
out the eleven candidates already re-
ferred to and Charles f. fireman of
Ithaca. 1t was suggested that ballots be
taken until by process OF elimination
one candidate had a majority Of the
committee and that his name be certified
to Saratoga. This idea was dropped as
impractical and a decision reached to
take five formal ballots and then report
the result to the convention.

Mr.. Hearst continued to find expression
to-day. OF course there are upstate
leaders. as Mr. Kelley OF Syracuse and
Mr. Farley of Broome. who might follow
the lead OF Mr.. Murphy and support the

ment at Saratoga. but the vast majority
of the men here declare they will throw
their entire strength to Mr.. Osborn or
any other man who may take up the
burden Of the anti-Hearst fight in the
primaries.
The candidacy Of Mr.. Hearst would
split the party absolutely upstate. they
declare. and insure the election of the
Republican candidate. Somehow or

From the Evening Mail of Yesterday

AS owners of the majority bonds of The Eve
ming Mall having no concern directly or indirectly
with the stock of the corporation or its financing
have assumed responsibility for the conduct of
the paper. The confidence in patriotism and
purposes indicated by the assent of Alien Property
Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer to control speaks
for itself AS guarantee to the community of the
complete separation of the present management
from the past, it goes beyond any pledge that we
as individuals could make
The further Endorsement of such splendid
Americans Col. Roosevelt, Gov Whitman, At
torney- General Merton E. Lewis Nathan Straus,
Norman E. Mack and many others, gives increased
emphasis to the confidence of the government of
fcials in the new management of the paper
The Evening Mail has lived in this community
nearly three-quarters of q century. During that
long time it has served the city with unselfsh de-
voton to its best interests and through its civic
policies has attached to itself thousands of best
citizens
If it had voice to express it's feelings, we are
could be louder in denunciation of the
transactions for which the government has arrested
DR.. Rumely the former manager of the corporation
and the named owner of its stock. The government
does not charge misuse of The Mails columns since
entrance into the war. 1t distinctly states that
1t has complaint to make that score. The
charge is that the funds with which Dr. Rumely
purchased the stock of the paper three and a half
years ago came from DIR. Albert the German fiscal
agent. Those funds transferred in such an in
direct way and through many channels that it
would have been marvellous had the bondhoders of
The Evening Mail been able to trace their source.
All the power of our government was needed to do
SO. Even with such power, the task was long-con-
tnued and most difficult. 1t has only recently been
completed, after months of investigation.
With the action of the government The Evening
Mail has passed into absolute control as owners
of substantial majority-of the company's bonds
We propose that The Evening Mail shall be second
to no newspaper in the country in its loyal and
patriotic support of the righteous our govern
ment is wag1ng.

Why you should Buy Globe Tires

The steady trend of motorists and dealers toward
Globe Tires is so marked that the Globe Tire, single

= Mighty few motorists go back to the ordinary
short-mleage short-guaranteed tire, temporar-
lily, once they have ridden on longest-mileage hand
made, Globe Tires.
Globe Tires give nnu sually long service because
they are built exclusively by the singe-cure wrapped

possible tread, freedom from wrinkled or buckled
fabric and the prevention of fattened and distorted

Muskrat Meats
Can Be Sold

A rumor having been become cur
rent throughout the county that the
meats of muskrats cannot be sold, I
take this means Of notifying the pub
lie that such is not the case. The
State law does not permit the sale of
meats only from January 1st to
March 18th, the time at which the
season opens throughout the State,
except in Talbot, Caroline and Wi
comico counties. in which three coun-
ties the season opens Dec. 18th. This
rumor was. undoubtedly started as
the result Of trappers in those coun-
ties endeavoring to ship meats to the
city before January 1st, and receiv-
ing word from the commission mer-
chants that they could not handle
them. Such meats may be legally
sold in this county and all over the
State from January 1st to March
18th, inclusive.

That Awful Shingle!

When the angry passion gathering on
my mothers face l see,
And she leads me to the bedroom
gently lays me on her knee;
Then 1 know that 1 will catch 1t, ana
my flesh in fancy ltches,
AS | listen for the patter OF the shln-
gle on my breeches.
Every tinkle of the shingle has an
echo and a sting.
And a thousand burning fancles unto
active being spring;
And a thousand bees and horhets
meath my coat-tail seem 20 swarm
As l listen to the patter of the snnln-
gle-oh, so warm!
In a splutter comes my father, .Whohi
l thought away had gone,
To survey the situation and to make
her lay it on;
To see her bending DER me, as rs
ten to the strain
Played by her and by the shlnglei TO
a wild and weird refrain.
In sudden Notwithstanding iap-
peared my only chance
say, Strike gently, mother, or
you'll split my Sunday pants
She stops moment, draws ner
breath-the shingle holds aleff
And saws "I had not thought of that,
my son-just take them off.
Holy Moses! and the angels, CAST
your pitying glances down;
And thou, oh, family doctor, puf
good soft poultice on;
And may I, with fools and Ounces,
cverlastingly co-mingle,
If ever | say another word when no

Have You Answered?

! Have you answered the Red Cross
Roll Call? If not, what is your ex-
cuse? And if you have an excuse,
! will it pass muster at the judgment
seat of mercy, when a greater than
| man shall call your name on the hui
man roll?
! Nearly 1000 years ago a test of
human sincerity and compassion was
given by the real Founder of the Red
Cross. He said that when the final
roll was called on the last day men
would be required to answer one or
two searching and determining ques-
tions. Did you feed Me when l was
hungry? Did you give Me drink
when 1 was thirsty? Did you visit
Me in prison? Did you minister to
Me in sickness and distress? Did
you bind up the spear wound in My
side? Did you remove the crown OF
thornns from My forehead and wipe
away the bloodstains?" Those who
were conscious of not having done
any of these things were pictured as
saying, But when did we have any
chance to do any of these things for
Thee?" And the answer that pierces
to the heart and spirit comes sharp as
sword: "Inasmuch as ye did not
do this for human beings around
you. you, refused virtually to do them
for Me-"
That will be the test at the last
Red Cross Roll Call, and it is the test
here this week. The Red Cross in
war and peace is humanity's Com
rade in White" it is Christ in the
trenches of human suffering and hu-
man need. 1t is calling on you to
help in it's work. AS you minister to
it, you minister to those whom it
loves and whom it serves and res
cues. The Red Cross Roll Call this
week opens up a wide field of thou
,ght, a solemn field of individual re-
sponsibility. When met we Thee an
hungered or athirst, or wounded?
Well, you are meeting Him now in
the Red Cross "Comrade in White"
which has taken the vow of perpet-
-ual mercy. Will you answer its Roll
Call this week so that you may have
an answer for another Roll Call
hereafter?

pocket book, AMI am watching very
closely for him. When you write to
him, give him my full address, or
give it to his people.
Mamma has often asked me in her
letters if l ever see anyone l know,
but it is a very hard matter to find
anyone you know here; something
like searching for needle in hay
stack. Aunt Ella. please excuse this
paper, as it is the best l have. l
would write more to you, but l
haven't paper; we are now where pa
per cannot be found so easily. Give
my love to all your children and
grandchildren, and tell them the Gil
cumstances about the paper. There
is nothing much to be found here but
shell holes and bullets, rifles, and a
few dead Germans. The Germans
are lifting their heels; l hope they
go so fast that they lose their shoe
heels and soles. We are now on the
front, and have been here for about
a month. l wish 1 could tell you
where we are, but it is against the
rules. l have seen quite a bit of
France, and it is a beautiful place,
very hilly. Every town on the front,
where we are, has been completely
torn to pieces by shot and shell.
Tell Aunt Gertie 1 received her let
ters, and have sent home several of
my pictures. If you have not receiv-
ed one yet, write to Mamma for one.
