statesmen VISITORS

" HE gathering here of some
800 representatives of the
Elliott-Fisher Company serves
to remind that this industry is one
of the few in Harrisburg with inter-
national connections and a trade as
wide as the world. 1t is a big and
growing concern of which any city
may be proud and the meeting here
this week is almost as important to
the community as it is to the cor
poration. The men gathered from
all parts of the world will carry
back with them impressions of Har-
risburg that, to say the least, will
do us no harm. This is city adver-
tising of the highest order and the
Elliott-Fisher people are giving it to
us for nothing.
The salesman, if he is worthy the
name. is a live wire" He is the
dynamo that makes the wheels turn
back to the factory. If he goes
off the road or is not ION the job"
the first man to feel the falling off
of sales is the workman back home,
who is laid off because there are no
orders to fill. But if the sales force
is on its toes everybody is happy,
for the concern is prosperous and
there is work and pay for all.
Too often the Importance of the
salesman is overlooked. But not so
with companies such as the Elliott
Fisher, which recognizes him for the
vital factor he is, and treats him ac-
cordingly.

interpret such great dimensions. He
never saw a house larger than his
own, unless possibly the neglected
ruins of considerable building
erected by the Portuguese about
three hundred years ago in Gondar,
once Abyssinias capital.
"As the Abyssinian is unable to
make anything save the round hut,
the royal residence was built by
East Indian carpenters of rails
wattled together and more or less
heavily covered with mud, the roof
being straw and mud thatch. This
palace or gebi might pass for a
fairly comfortable country house,
shabby for want of paint. Nor had
Menelek ever seen a boat, save the
sections of one of poor Marchand's s
little fiotilla lying covered up in
front of the gebi hundreds of miles
from any navigable water.
1.-The emperor was clad in modest,
even severe, garb, the chief vest
ment being a black silk burnous. He
wore stockings, but no shoes. A
tightly drawn turban covered what
was said to be a we'll developed
badness.
Dress Suits at His Audiences
It'll 8 o'clock every morning he
was buSy with his dispatches, and
conducted business with Harar, his
most important town, about 200
miles away, by telephone.
After 8 o'clock Menelek was
ready to receive those of his sub
jects, great or small, who claimed
access to him, and also the
occasional European who travelled
to this strange mud hut capital.
He had learned that there are some
costumes appropriate to ceremonial
occasions, and out of respect of this
knowledge L had been advised by
Sir Rennell Rodd to take a dress
suit for presentation to the court,
and this l donned at in the morn
ing and in it rode the mile and q
half or two miles separating the
British compound from the gebi.
when these visits were completed
Menelek gave much detailed atten-
tion to the buildings and the meager
workshops, which his East Indian
employees set up for him.
His capital city contained huts,
large and small, which might lodge
IL population of about ten thousand.
A considerable part of this city was
still of canvas"

TT ARRISBURG and all of Cen
II trail Pennsylvania will have
prominent place in the new
patriotic organization-the Ameri-
can Legion. AS the Grand Army Of
the Republic has united and held
together through a long period of
years the veterans of the Civil War
so the American Legion will bring
into a single organization through
out the country the men who served
with unselfSh devotion the great
cause of human freedom in the
World War.
Harrisburg will see the actual
welding together of the various
units of the organization at a con-
vention to be held in this city in
October. Preliminary steps are now
being taken and the. principles upon
which the organization is being
built are already attracting wide at
tention and interest.
The Legion will stand not only
for the rights of the men in all
branches of the service, but will urge
Congress from time to time to take
such action as may be necessary to
safeguard American institutions.
Those aliens who refused to join the
colors at the outbreak of the war
and pleaded their citizenship in other
countries to escape the draft will
be deported to their own countries
If this virile organization of fight
ing men has its way. Standing
shoulder to shoulder those who are
now banding themselves together
will represent law and order and
perpetuate a hundred per cent.
Americanism.
It is also set forth as among tho
fundamental principles of the as
sociation the inoulcating of a sense
of individual obligation to the COM
munity. State and Nation, the COM

Judge Advises Women

"Be Americans first, Republicans
second, and individuals third" is
the advice Magistrate George Cen
ung, of New York, gave a group of
women who had invited him to talk
to them about politics. Judge
Genung doesn't believe in nonparti-
san alliances or third parties;-use
your influence to make the party you
belong to keep to high ideals, then
you have it's strength and its organ
ization to get results.
And, because somebody does
something you don't like" he added
don't leave the Republican fold for
the Democratic and expect them to
reward you with any political plums.
Those are for the women who have
always been Democrats, and you will
be left out in the cold. Don't let
personal pique make you renounce
your party and its principles!" )

Austria has received the completed
Allied terms and as the people look
back over the last FIVE years they
must wonder how they could have
been such fools as to follow their lead
ers into chaos. AustrIans who are now
returning to their own country to dis
cover the whereabouts of their miss
ing relatives will probably be glad 70

back to America, which has been an
asylum for thousands of them and a

classes and the masses, the making
of right master of might, the pro-
motion of peace and good will on
earth and the safeguarding and
transmitting to posterity of the
principles of justice, freedom and
democracy.
An organization of such men, con-
secrated apd sanctified in their
comradeship by devotion of mutual
helpfulness, cannot be otherwise
than n great asset to the Nation.
Harrisburg will be more than
glad to welcome the delegates to the
forthcoming organization confer
enee of the Legion and to extend the
hospitality of a patriotic community
on that occasion.

Washington Left One-half
Million Dollars
GFrom the Detroit Newsl

At the time of his death George
Washington was probably the rich
est man in the United States. A
schedule attached to his will indi-
Gated that his wealth was more than
one-half million dollars, an enorm-
GUS fortune for those times. When
young man he inherited a fortune
from his brother Lawrence. His
wife, the former Mrs. Custis, was
rich, and in those days a woman's
property went to her husband at
marriage. Lands on the Ohio, that
Congress granted to Washington,
were estimated at the time of his
death to be worth 100000, but that
was at only So an acre. .t..s....

GERMAN CHARACTER

~ EADERS of Prof. Charles And
X. lers discourse on German
character will better under
stand why Germany is making
haste so slowly toward true de-
mocracy and why there are so many
displays of reversion to the mon
archical type so confusing to the
American mird. Professor Andler
is a French Alsatian, born in Stras-
burg, now a professor of the Ger
Sorbonne, and so has had ample
opportunity for exhaustive study,
concludes that the modern German
has neither the talent nor the
taste for liberty" Nor do they re-
spect the feelings of others when
they are confronted in other peo-
pies by evidences of devotion to de-
mocracy and independence of
thought ard action-feelings smoth-
cred or undeveloped in themselves.
What should be changed in Ger
many?" asks Professor Andler, and
he finds the root of the difficulty IN
the German people, the same Ger
man people with whom we an
nounced, from time to time, that we
were rot at war, as the Literary Di-
gest discussing the matter reminds
us. 1t seems to be the moral of
Professor Andler's study that we
were at war with the German peo-
pie, and that we may be at war
with them again unless they change
their minds and habits. AS an ex-
planation of the type of mentality
that most of them have carried over
into the present days of German
humiliation-and that many of them,
no matter what happens, will carry
into their graves-Professor Andler
shows them as they were in the
years just previous to the war:
-, If picture to myself correctly
the average Germans, both the
common people and the bour-
Seoisie, they are people without
vision, men of a limited horizon.
strictly specialized each in his

do not disdain glass of beer a
game OF skittles, or choral sing
ing. Some find leisure for COM
munal or corporate interests. Yet,
excellent patriots almost all of
them, they feel no other concern
in the direction of the destinies
of this country which they love.
Professor Andler's observation, of
course, apply to conditions before
the war. Perhaps the slowly break
ing light of democracy in Germany
may penetrate the darkened minds
of the German people under the
new form of government. But. in
the meantime, we must guard
against any great trust irr the good
intentions of a people who value
their liberties lightly and who do
not understand people who would
die rather than yield them up.
The truth regarding conditions in
Germany is beginning to filter
through more or less reliable channels.
