Detroit, Feb. H.-Huge quantities. of
whisky were still flowing into Mich

officers at Toledo, Ohio, to stop the
liquor from going across the line.
So far Michigan State and municipal
officials have found no means of help

substitute has been found for the
search and seizure section of the pro-

Approximately 200 whisky runners

border during the night There were
no arrests made on the Michigan side.
State constabulary acted largely as

C|LLETT
NEXT SPEAKER
Representative from Massa-
chusetts Assured Penn
sylvania and Indiana.

The election of Representative
Frederick H. Gillett, of Msssachu-
sets. to be speaker OF the Sixty
sixth Congress was virtually as
sured yesterday, when the majority
of the Pennsylvania members and
the entire Indiana delegation de-
clared for the New England candi-
date.
The poll of the Pennsylvania
delegation disclosed that twenty
members and members-elect favor
ed the nomination of Gillett and
eight were recorded as non-commit-
al. The delegation will have an
other meeting next Wednesday
morning, and it is expected that
it will decide to vote as a unit for
the Massachusetts, member.
The Indiana delegation in caucus
decided to cast it's thirteen votes for
Gillett. These acquisitions with
pledges already secured indicate
that Representative Gillett will
have more than enough votes on
the first ballot to insure victory
Representative Winslow. of Massa-
chusetts, claims more than 40 mem
bers besides a number of more
prospective votes due to retirement
of Rcpresentativ Fess from the con-
test.
Representative Madden, campaign
manager of Minority Leader Mann,
does not concede the apparent vic
tory of Gillett. He asserts that the
Chicago candidate has more than
$50 members and members-elect
pledged to his candidacy and that
he is in the contest to the finish.
Mann VIII Not withdraw.
When informed of the GilIett claims,
Mann said he had not the remotest
idea of Withdrawing from the race.
He declared he had an assured ma
jority.
Both Mann and Madden charge that
Republican Seators were attempting
to interfere in the Houne contest in
Senator Lodge was at the bottom of
the Gillett candidacy. but that he
would not be able to deliver the
Speakership to Massachusetts.
Asked what post Mann would ac-

House in the event of his defeat for
Speaker. Madden said he would not
accept the majority leadership or any
committee craftsmanship. If he could
not be Speaker, Mann would be a
plain member of the House, Madden
declared.
This attitude, on the part of Mann
is of interest in connection with the

DECORATE

m o-MoRRoW and Monday Har-
J. risburg will pay tribute to its
service men and women and the
city should be a mass of color in
their honor. Every house should
have its flag or bit of bunting. Es-
pecially should this be so along the
line Of march. In that way each
one of us can have his own indi-
vidual part in the big celebration.
When a marcher sees a flag hang
ing from a window or waving from
a staff over a building he will know
that the resident thereof is a pa
triotic citizen who desires to pay his
respects to those who followed the
flag to France and brought it back
VICTORIOUS over the HllSHIleSL army
the powers of darkness ever as
sembled to do battle with the legions
of light.
Decorate, by all means! Hang out
your flags! Make your home or
your business place a reflection OF
your joy and thanksgiving over the
safe return of these lads of ours
Even those who did not come back,
who sleep the sleep that knows no
waking beneath the soil of France
would have it so. Tomorrow and
Monday will be happy days in Harris
burg, and the city should wear its
holiday dress in honor of the oc-
casion.

subject sent them back to their
work with greater heart, with a new
interest. with a fresh zest. They

adds, and had gained a satisfaction
and pleasure in their achievements
they had not known before
1t is the opinion of this remark

ager and partner in commercial
work, and who has sailed before the
mast and been trimmer, fireman and
greaser on steamships, and who was
commissioned as a soldier at the
outbreak OF the big war-that there
is no trade or manufacture about
which there is not an interesting
story to be told. AS an inspiration
to team work, which always wins,
he says 'it is absolutely necessary
that the team should know what
and where the goal is; that the
workers should know what they are
being paid for and that the interests
of the firm are their interests"
Mr.. Gable firmly believes that
many employers are making the
mistake of thinking that the work
ers are supporters of all the "revo-
lutionary ideas so loudly pro-
claimed by the agitator class and
are equally full of class hatred" He
insists that this is quite wrong; that
there are many OF the workers who
have perfectly sane and sound ideas
on these subjects, who are just as
unwilling to stir up trouble, to go
on strike and to bring chaos on in
dustry as any employer could wish.
Given satisfactory talks and plain
truths with which to reply to the
agitator. this writer believes the av-
erage worker will be ready enough
to use them. 1t is further the opin-
ion of Mr. Cable that workers alone
cannot be blamed for falling under
the spell of the evil propaganda. He
holds that large share of the blame
is OH the employers who fail to
counteract it with good propaganda.
In this period of industrial unrest
and discomfort. growing out of the
war reaction, it will not be forgotten,
as was recently suggested by COM
petent investigator of conditions
throughout the West, that the
American people are fair and if
the facts are presented to them
there can be no doubt of the result"
That is the crux of the whole mat
ter. We must keep our feet on the
ground and avoid distortion of the
facts, to the end that the people
may reach fair conclusions and be
just in their judgments.
This good old country, the home
of liberty and opportunity, is not 60
ing to be wrecked so long as so
many millions of our people are at
heart right and disposed to be fair.

T. RS Commandments

A letter from the private CORES
pondence of Theodore Roosevelt is
printed in a recent number of Col
liers Weekly with the observation
of the editor that "the American
people might do worse than inscribe
Theodore Roosevelt's Five Com
mandments for Politicians on the
walls of every legislative assembly
hall in the country"
The letter was written in 1889
when the writer, then not quite 81,
was a member and virtual head of
the United States Civil Service Com
mission. A. w. Merrifield, to whom
the letter was addressed, had been
Rooscvelt's ranch partner in the
cattle business along the Little Mis-
souri, river, and had just accepted
the nomination for the legislature in
the newly-created state of North
Dakota. The letter follows:

PLANT A TREE

TVERY citizen of Harrisburg is
n directly interested in the plant
ing of trees along. the streets
and on their private premises. A
great interest has been aroused
throughout the city in this matter,
and through the cooperation of the
State Forestry Commissioner and
the Department of Parks it is hoped
some definite program will be pre-
pared for the practical work that
has been outlined for October.
Even now the individual property
owner should be selecting the loca-
ton for the tree or trees which he
will plant before the first of Novem-
ber. The Telegraph shall be glad to
print from day to day the names of
public-spirited citizens and the num-
ber of trees each will plant as an
encouragement to others who have
not yet made up their minds.
The City Forester having made a
survey of the local tree conditions,
indicating in an official statement
the kind of trees most desirable for
Harrisburg planting, those who
would join in this important work
ought to get into touch with the De-
partment of Parks and inform them
selves as to the size and species OF
trees best fitted for this climate.
Hundreds of trees are going to be
set out, but the number should run
into thousands before the campaign
ends. Are you going to be Stacker
in this respect. or will you do q
good Job for the present generation

TEAM WORK; FAIR PLAY

TY 0RKIN0MEN of Harrisburg
" who gave of their best ef-
forts to war activities in the
several industrial plants of the city
during the progress of the conflict
have q real interest in the home
coming celebration for the returned
soldiers. They will be interested in
hearing about what happened to the
Hun when the products of the Har-
risburg plants reached the lines
overseas. If they could have been
near the firing line and seen for
themselves the results of their
handiwork back home they would
appreciate even more how import
ant was the part they played in
maintaining American ideals and
defending the rights and the liber-
ties of the American people.
Boyd Gable, famous English
writer, in considering a way out of
the labor crisis under the heading
Tell the Workers." points out from
his own experience as a worker and
q soldier the Importance of being
frank with those who are RESPONSE
ble for production in any industry.
He declares there is always plenty
that could with advantage be told
khe workers, plenty of ways of
arousing their interest, getting them
b feel that they belong to the bust
ness. just as much as the manager
or heads" His theory is that all
they want is an interest in their
work, in the ultimate use of their
production, a knowledge of what
they are working for, of seeing or
hearing about the result of their
labor.

GOOD WORK WELL DONE

TT HARRISBURG was fortunate
n enough to have stationed in
this city branch of the War
Camp Community Service and now
that the work of that useful institu-
ton is drawing to close we are
only beginning to realize the ex-
tent of the service it has rendered.
Moving very quietly, without at
tempt at elf-aggrandizement or os-
tentation, those in charge have
welded together elements of the
community that never had any part
in its activities and have given to
many a new outlook on life.
Harrisburg people are grateful
for what has been done and are
asking themselves who or what is
going to take the place of the w.
c. c. S. when it closes its offices Oc-
tober 1. Are we to permit the work
so we'll begun to lag? Are the thou
sands of people who have come un-
der its beneficent influences to lose
what they have gained and drift
back into their old thoughtless,
careless, individualistic mode of liv-
ing, or shall we find some means of
taking up the work where it has
been laid down, some means of
carrying along the benefits which
have resulted?
Only those who know most init
mately the full extent of the War
Camp Community Services efforts
and the good things that have been
accomplished realize how important
it is to answer these questions prop
erly.
