ANOTHER TURNING POINT
TTY ITH the formal opening of the
wv Penn-Harris Hotel on New

VryITH the formal opening of the
wv Penn-Harris Hotel on New
Years Eve Harrisburg will
mark another step forward in its
progress as a leader among the mu-
inequalities of Pennsylvania.
This hotel represents one of the
great needs of the city and its erec-
ton at a time when most enterprises
were suspended by reason of war
conditions demonstrates the energy
and courage of those who have made
the hotel possible. Other great pro-
jects undertaken at the beginning of
the war were abandoned altogether
or postponed until the cessation of
hostilities, but the men who put their
faith and their money into the Penn
Harris were neither discouraged nor
halted for a minute by the unprece-
dented incidents that wrecked many
civic enterprises. 1t is a tribute to
the public spirit and the vision of
these men that, recognizing the great
need, they were not to be held back
by the circumstances growing out
of the war. Harrisburg is an un-
usual city, and the fact that this
great hotel has been erected and
will be opened on the eve of the New
Year is an illustration of the sub
stantial character of the community.
One of the most distinguished Penn
sylvanians, writing the other day,
said: Il fully recognize what a de-
sirable and important public i'm
provement the Harris Hotel
promises, not only for Harrisburg,
but for the people of the State"
This is the general sentiment of all
who realize what a modern hotel will
mean for the city and the State at
large.
Harrisburg is more than a city 1t
is the seat of government of a great
Commonwealth and as such must
provide entertainment for thousands
who pass this way. 1t is fortunate,
also, that the Penn-Harris will be
opened with the beginning of a new
State administration. 1t is the turn
ing of another page in the develop
ment of progressive and prosperous
community. All our people feel
sense of ownership and pride in the
hotel; it represents the spirit and
the aspirations of a new day and
those who have had the courage to
go forward against almost insuper-
able obstacles deserve the apprecia-
tion of all who will make the hotel
a great gathering place and a social
center.

Art to Be Recovered
(From the London Times.

One of the arts which must be re-
paired after the war is the art of
conversation. A subcommittee in
the ministry of reconstruction might
look into 1t. 1t will be to small
purpose that we have reclaimed
thousands of acres, achieved the
citizenship of women, improved the
art of cooking and performed many
other unexpected feats, IL the gem
ial reflection of all this, and indeed
the very Stimulus to action, is
dried up or muddy. The link be-
tween cookery and conversation is
a notorious and not u freakish one.
It is the chefs aim to set us free
for ideal pleasures. We must talk
at meals, but we need not talk about
our food. We have all been doing
that too long.

BOLSHEVIKI CONTROL

TN HE Bolsheviki are in almost un-
disputed control in Petrograd.
The Bolsheviki are the people
who promised the poor peasants of
the country land, food and money.
If they were permitted to have their
way with the government. Deluded
souls, with visions of heaven and
earth in their minds. let them take
charge. Kill the rich and feed the
poor, was the slogan of the Boil
sheviki. But how have they sue
ceeded?
Conditions were bad in Russia
under the Car, but they are in
finitely worse under the rule of the
Bolsheviki. Every man with one
dollar to rub against another is a
criminal in their eyes. The prosper
GUS working man of America would
be stood up against a wall and shot
for his possessions by the Boil
sheviki. Where the Car killed his
hundreds. the Bolsheviki have MUIR
dered their thousands.
And the land and food and money
which the poor people were to have
are vanished. Men, women and chill
dren are starving. There is left only
one million of the two million resi-
dents of Petrograd, and the death
rate from starvation is alarming.
The coming winter will be night
mare in Russia. The Bolsheviki are
nearing the end of their string.
Government by classes never did
work well. When the BolsheViki

 Riggs and Ryan were the brightest spot of comedy on the bill, their chat ter, songs and novel stage settings be- ing accorded prompt applause, and their witticisms causing many giggles and outbursts of lauhter. These people have an act that would go good any where, and they put it on with punch that gets over easily.
 Another high class act, a mixture of
 comedy, Juggling and dancing, was that
 of Martyr and Florence, which was
 received with open arms by the au- dience. This act is another example
 of the Loew vaudeville that is unusual
 and very much to the liking of all
 theatergoers accordingly. These people juggle tennis rackets, balls, dumb bells and other novelties, winding up their offering with ball acr where the man
