Tobacco and Booze

From the Chicago Herald and
Examiner
There may he both alcohol and
tobacco in the next world" accord =
ing to the belief expressed by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, famous writer.
What we have in both body and
mind we carry over to the other
world with u.s." Sir Arthur saws.
There is no physical side to love
and there is no childbirth, although
there is close union between those
married persons who really love
each other. Only those who have
sympathy shall foregather.
The sullen husband and the
fighty wife Will no longer be there
to plague the innocent spouse who
is the victim of the mates disturb
ing ways. 1t is all sweet and pence
ful. 1t is long rest cure after the
nerve strain of life.
1T is described as a place of ioy
and laughter and games and sports
and peopled by those who are with
out deformities or bodily weak
nesses. Let no woman mourn her
lost beauty Let no man sorrow for
his lost strength. All is waiting on
the other side
Every earthly thing has its
equivalent. Scoffers have guffawed
over alcohol and tobacco. but If all
things are reproduced it would be n
flaw If these were not reproduced
also"

the American Legion in

V vt1EN the american Legion III
wv it's recent convention at Min
neapolis followed up it's state
ment that it is not political Or
ganiZation by electing Lieut.. Col.
Franklin D'Olier, of Philadelphia,
its first national president, some
thousands of American businessmen
who know him intimately agreed
that the organization proved its
contention. And since then the pol
iticians have recognized that if the
Legion should decide to go into pol
ltlcs 1T is in position, by reason
of this election and what may rea-
sonably be expected to accrue from
1t, to break over the limitations of
the soldier vote" and to draw
strength from several other political
groups which are said to be form
ing.
-Four years ago D'Olier was un-
known as public man outside his
home city. In Philadelphia his
name generally appeared on COM
occasionally for charitable organi-
cations. He never got into print.
He never ran for office or started
campaigns or movements. Yet,
when the leaders of such things
wanted something done, they turned
to him. And if the cause was worth
while they generally got him.
When the United States got into
the, war D'Olier gave himself an
indefinite leave of absence from his
yarn business and volunteered, on
the strength of his business ability
and an engaging personality that
mad made him one of the national
leaders in his business he was made
captain. Then he was sent 10
France to organize the Salvage
Corps.
Many stories appeared from time
to time about the Wonders worked
by this system and the millions saw
ed for taxpayers But curiously lit
tie got into print about the man who
was its creative and directing gen
ius. The army knew, however. So
did its commanders. With the re-
suit that the captain became Il ma
Jor and then lieutenant colonel.
And one day when Lieut.. Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was expounding TO
an American general his ideas OF
the kind of organization which
should be formed by the fighting
men of the states upon their return
the general remarked that he could
put his hand on the man to do the
great work of organizing.
Roosevelt got some of D'Olier's
history, and D'Olier got some OF
Roosevelts enthusiasm. 1t was not
hard to instill, because D'Olier. was
for the legion from the beginning.
At the end of conference with
Roosevelt he promised to get into
the movement heart and soul.
which is the way he does every
thing. Both men came back to tho

IReorganizing National Guard

From Philadelphia Bulletin.
Appointments thus far made for
officers of the reorganized National
Guard of Pennsylvania indicate that
the Governor intends to put it on a
better basis than ever. Only men OF
experience in the late war, and, for
the most part. those who were in
active service in France, have been
chosen. 1t is an open secret that
the Adjutant Generals Office at
Washington has taken a deep inter
est in the subject, even to the rec
ommendation of certain officers. 1t
IS also no secret that many of these
officers have accepted only as mat
ter of duty and at great personal
sacrifice.
one reason why seasoned men are
needed is that the reorganiZa ton is
to be thorough. At least one COM
plete division is 10 be organized on
the regular army basis and in ac-
cordance with the new art OF war
it is noteworthy that the War De-
partment wants 100000 for the
National Guard for the coming year,
which would mean about $1,000
00O for this State. That ought to be
enough to make the keystone Divi-
sion efficient in a short time.

! A LIVE ORGANIZATION

THE program for the coming
wear. as outlined by the Cham
- ber of Commerce in TIE Tele-
graph yesterday, indicates the type Of
Hve-wire organization that has Deen
developed by the business men OF the
city for the upbuilding of the COM
munity. Nor does the Chamber
merely outline what should be done:
it acts. as its record the past few
years plainly shows.
Take the Penn-Harris Hotel as n
sample of its concrete accomplish
ments. Not only has it given lis a
hotel of which all may be proud,
but has made a very good invest
ment for the men who were patri-
otic enough to put their money into
Ii. many of them merely for the
benefit of the community and with
put much thought of financial return.
Another type of work is the housing
problem now under consideration,
With every prospect Of a successful
solution. Still another service of
similar nature is being performed
through the housing bureau of the
organization, which is clearing
house where all manner of informa-
ton is gathered for the home
seeker. There the prospective ten
ant is brought into touch with the
empty house. if there be such avail
able. and the assistance is given free
and gladly. Along this line. also, is
the community service branch, Just

lee, with Mrs. Ley in charge.

London Sees Menace in Trans
From the Continental Edition of
the London Mnil

[From the Continental Edition of
the London Mail.
The tramway menace in London is
growing rapidly \ 40 million dollar
scheme for linking up the North and
South London tramwaNs is being out
lined.
London. the most innately beauti-
full city in the world, gains most Cf
its charm through its swaying roads
whose glorious sweep is broken by
no line of rails in the middle of the
shining wooden pavement. Trans
have the strange and horri6le power
OF removing individuality from the
street. All main roads with rams
have the same appearance.
Fleet Street, the Strand PicCa-
dilly, Regent Street, Ludgate Hill,
are like no streets i'm the world. The
winding, twisting, untrammelled
fiocks of motor omnibuses only ac-
centuate their mad -muddled lowell
ness. Place trans in them tall,
glittering. yellow trams-moving i'm
a steel groove, changing hideous
bell. inelastic, rigidly going forward
and those essentially LONDON
streets might be Eighth Avenue in
New York, or Paris boulevard, or
Cliftonville High Street.
Trans are essentially un-Eno-
lish. They are very German and
rather American. They are exact
they ca,E only go one way, and obey
a little flange of steel with human

charm TO the motor omnibus. which

A FOUNDATION

ITAhk before the Associated Aid'
u at the annual meeting this weef
favoring the creation of a Har-
risburg Foundation is in line with
what the Telegraph has besn urging
for some years, but, of course, such
a Foundation by the very nature OF
things would have to cover mucf
more than the charities of the city
| if it were TO perform it's proper func-
tions in the community, and doubt
less that was the larger thought
behind the discussion.
Some progressive American cities
already have received through such
foundations, administered by duly
chosen representative and response
BILE persons, millions of dollars in
beauests. not only for charitable pur-
poses, but for the development of all
manner of welfare projects. Parks,
works of art, commu-
nifty clubhouses, fountains, these and
many other useful purposes have
been met through Foundation funds.
and there remains always on hand
money for the promotion of any
project that receives the
of the trustees, after
proper public discussion
Many persons want to leave some
thing to their home towns upon
their death. Some have thousands
to give and others only hundred Or
two. They refrain only because they
either do not know what gift would
be most acceptable or because the
amount they have to offer is COM
paratively small. The Foundation
removes both difficulties. 1t not only
receives very large bequests. but very
small ones as well. and it leaves tie
way open whereby a man may let
to the commission the expenditure of
his money in whatever way may be
deemed best suited for the public
welfare Large sums can be solicited
in this way by Foundation trustees,
who do not hesitate TO ask men of
their acquaintance or known to have
considerable money to remember the
city in their wills.
1t is becoming more and more. the
thought of men of wealth that they
owe at least a substantial gift to TIE
cities or towns wherein they accu-
mulated their fortunes, either at
their death or before, and the fact
that Harrisburg. for example, had
such a Foundation would be an en-
couragement and canstantreminder
TO the timid and the thoughtless. We
should have such an institution. and
1t should be broad enough to take
in every proper welfare enterprise or
otker project for the good of the
whole community.
