TNIlE city is losing many of its capable en-
Il ploycS because with the high cost of liv-
ing and fixed compensation at pre- war
rates they can do better at private employ
mcut. The Federal Government also finds
il cannot retain the services of certain cX
rcricnccd workers for causes similar to
those which prevail in the municipality.
John f. Brisbane, who is secretary of tho
customs inspectors presents rather inter
csting comparison which tends to illustrate
the difficulties under which the Federal
Government labors ut the present time. The
customs house inspectors receive an average
wage of less than $3.50 for an eleven hour
day. The longshoremcn and cargo handlers,
whom the inspectors oversee and who have
no responsibility TO the government, and who
formerly received from twenty to thirty
cents an hour, are now receiving seventy
cents for an eight hour day and S1.10 an
hour for all overtime work. Under these
circumstances it is fair to inquire whether it
pays best to be a longShoreman or IL Gus
toms inspector? The longshorcman Ger
tainiy has the best Of it with respect to
pay and he does not have to appear in
uniform or comply with the government red
tape regulations.

u j. sTACKpOLE, president o,

u j. STACKPOLE, president OF the
L' Harrisburg Telegraph, watched the
Philadelphia election with great deal of
interest. Mr. Stackpolc was formerly
postmaster of Harrisburg and is one of the
best political observers of the state. He
loves Harrisburg, the seat of the govern
ment, and believes that the CO. operation of
municipalities on lines occasionally referred
to in the Philadelphia campaign would not
only help Philadelphia, but other cities of
the state. He thinks Philadelphia has
suffered very largely from foolish criticism
within and that the time has come for
general campaign OF boosting. The city on
the Susquehanna is looking forward to a
more exalted position than it now occupies
and Brother Stackpole is taking a hand in
the advance movement

suffers. This is not because majority

SuHerS. Ihis is not because majority
wants to establish injustice, nor is it the
result of desire to put righteousness
out of the running. 1t is an incident in
that social progress which has its roots
in the golden rule.
The only way out is to establish the
machinery for the orderly and peaccable
adjustment of disputes, an adjustment
which all parties save the revolutionary
radicals among II Tor leaders desire.
We have civi ..or adjusting com
mercial disagrcements and we have
criminal code under which transgressions
against life and property are punished.
We need an industrial codn which formu-
latcs rules for the scttlcm Mt of disputes
between employer and employed, and we
need courts to apply it to specific cases.
The civil and the criminal codes are
framed primarily for the protection of
society as a whole.
The man who violates contract is
punished in order that faith between man
and man may be kept SO that business
may go on.
The murderer is brought to justice, not
to give revenge to the friends of the vic
tim, but that the safety Of the life of
the rest Of US may be assured.
The industrial code would be useful in
preventing the interruption of production
and transportation and would incident
ally benefit those engaged in transpor-
tation and production, but it would be
Of immeasurably greater benefit to the
mass of the community dependent on the
producers and the transporters for what
they cat and for what they wear and for
light and heat and the other conveniences
and necessities of life

THE LADY MUCABEES
GIVE A PIE SUPPER

The Lady Mccabees gave a pie sup
per at the Hall Thursday night of
last week. which for both business
and amusement was a big success.
A splendid entertainment program
consisting of marches, music and
declarations furnished much inter
est and amusement for the big crowd
in attendance. The auction sale,
which was offered for the benefit of
the treasury of the lodge, furnished
many funny features. Pies sold
readily for four, five and even as
high as seven and half dollars. 1t
was all for the lodge. and the boys
were liberal. Brother Litchfield was
the auctioneer. and his tact and good
humor added dollars to the treasury
of the Lady Mccabees.

EASIEST WAY OUT.

County Tax Commission, Ward,
mailed notices to all those
whose property had been rails
ed. Many of them came in
to protest before the equalization
board, but one farmer, who
had received notice that his proper
ty had been raised $685., wrote to
Mr.. Ward that he would not take the
time and trouble 10 cone before
the board, and enclosed money or
der for $3.50; thinking that amount
would cover the raise. Mr.. Ward re-
turned the money order, with an ex-
PLANTATION he was not authorized to
collect taxes. The honest farmer was
taking the easiest way out.

PASSING OF LANDMARK
A CENTURY OLD OAK

Through the kindness of Mrs. A.
w. Logan we are able to offer our
readers an interesting account of the
passing of an ancient landmark, an
old oak that stood for more than a
century in the yard OF the Foreman
place. just outside of the city limits,
as well as a brief account of an an
Client Hartford family.
The ancient tree saw the home

fury ago. 1t heard the first cradle
song within its walls; it heard the
song and laughter at marriage feasts,
and it had heard the last funeral
walls of all but two of the members
of the large family that had once
enjoyed its cooling shelter from a
summer sun, or set beneath its
spreading branches in the evening
twilight. The home the giant oak
adorned was old. even as Hartford it,
self is old. 1t was an acorn before
the first cabin was built in the town.
The fine old oak has seen nearly
all of four generations pass away. and
half the young people OF that time
have enjoyed its beauty and its
shade, and the swing which once
hung from its strong branches. where
they sat when the summer stars and

valley with the highest rise in the

flood is only few inches below that
