SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1, 1919
GROUNDHOG DAY

TUST about the time we had set
u tied down to the conviction that
all this talk about the discovery
of early blooming hepaticas and the
amount of coal our neighbors have
saved over the same amount burned
last year were clear evidences that
the annual January thaw" had de-
veloped into the actually of an
honest-to-g goodness early spring,
along comes Grounding Day to up
set our calculations and make us
think twice about hunting up the
seed catalogue and over-hauling the
fishing outfit.
OF course this idea of the Ground
hog coming out on the second day
of February, seeing his shadow and
lodging back for six weeks more of
sleep during which winter weather
shall prevail, northwesters blow and
billiards rage is all tommyrot. We
know this because Mr.. Domain, our
weather forecaster for 10 these many
moons. uifailingly chides us when
from time TO time some mention of
the G. Hog fable creeps into the
columns of Harrisburg's most re-
liable and influential newspaper. We
don't blame Mr.. Demain. Why
should any sane man put his faith
in a mythical grounding the while
ignoring the scientific sharks of the
United States weather hTireau .
There's nothing, absolutely nothing
to it, and we shall henceforth stick
to the twenty-four representations
issued each day at II o'clock from
the little office at the top of the
federal building. on that we are
resolved.
Still . After all it would be
comforting if tomorrow should turn
out to be cloudy.

CONRAD SEEGER

THE death of Conrad Seeger.
veteran businessman of Ifar-
risburg, serves to illustrate
the changes that have been wrought
in the world of trade within the
scope of one mans lifetime.
When Mr.. Seeger came into young
manhood most of the carpets used
in the households Of the country
were woven on hand looms from the
rags sewed by members OF the
household. The rag man" was an
unknown institution then. Nothing
went into the rag bag except to
pet rags, which were carefully sewn
into long strings and wrapped
tightly into balls to be accumulated
until the day arrived when there
was sufficient on hand for the weav-
ing Of carpet or a rug. Then the
lot was carted off to the weaver's,
the necessary CHAIN" or binder,
bought, the colors selected. and the
weaving of the carpet or rug begun
on the big hand looms that were
the wonder of every child who be-
held their numbering but efficient
operation.
Nor were the products of this
crude weaving apparatus inartistic.
Indeed. they were highly attractive
in comparison with the beflowered
ingram" and Brussels carpets that
drove them off the market and their
weavers into other lines of trade.
But Mr.. Seeger was one who
found it possible to change his line
of operations without getting out OF
the carpet business when the big
mills started to make competition
hard and the doubtful tastes of a
tickle populace began to swing to-
ward the rainbow colors of the new
er creations. He was one of the
few weavers who retained an inter-
est in the carpet business, and \as
president of the Harrisburg Carpet
Company continued prominent in
the business world long after his
companions of earlier years were
laid forest and even up to the very
day OF his own death.

A VETERAN GUARD

ENERAL BEARY'S suggestion
that the Twenty-eighth Divi-
~ sion of the United States army,
made UP largely of the old Pennsyl-
vania National Guard units. be in
corporated into the new National
Guard of the State. is highly pleasing
from whatsoever angle it may be re-
garded. Very likely many of these
men will have had their fill of SOL
diering, but there will be hundreds
of others who will not want to sever
their connections entirely with mill
tary life, and the thought of march,
ing and camping once year with
their comrades of the great war
would prove an incentive that would
take many back into the Guard.
1t would be a fine thing for the
of men as constituted the Twenty
eighth, one of the hard fighting, hard
hitting divisions of the American
army which met the best the victori-
Gus Hun had to offer in the way of
trained veterans, and hurled them
back across the plains of France to
utter defeat and ignominious sur
render.
Foreign nations. with this knowl-
edge in the backs of their heads,
would hesitate to pick quarrel with
us, and the very fact that the Ma
tional Guard was made up of train
ed and efficient soldiers would go a
hong way toward insuring peace for
an indefinite period.

BIRDS

Birds in this part of the country
are q common unrare sight, not
looked upon by the most of us as a
thing to be noticed. Therefore, the
Bird Club of the Technical High
School extends the following few
lines to the kind reader who will
take the time to read that which
follows if he so desires.
There are many birds which one
may study. but the bird which the
confined city person will notice is
the familiar. half-tame birds which
he sees about him from day to day.
A bird is most particular where he
builds his nests and it may be read
ily noted in the familiar house wren,
which fills every cavity about the
place with sticks before il selects
one for the real nest. Various theo-
ries have been advanced to account
for this tendency in our feathered
neighbor, all of which are partly
plausible, but none of which account
for all the facts. It appears to be a
matter of pure selfishness, as if he
did not want any other bird to enjoy
these cavities-a sort of dog-in-the
manger spirit: but his cousins, the
marsh wrens, and the tule wrens, of
California, and others which do not
use holes build a number of these
sham nests in the grass, sometimes
quite near each other, only one OF
which is said ever TO be used.
Birds go to bed in various ways,
and even in the same tree select diff
ferent locations on different nights.
Thus. turkeys seem to deliberate a
long time about ying fiup, and black
birds sit around and seem to quarrel
n long time about favorite berths,
but a house wren jumps into tree
crotch like boy into a cold coucff
has his head under his wing. and Is
asleep in ten seconds. Why should
NOT a man love bird? II the palm
of one should clasp the pinion OF
the other, there would come together
two of the greatest implements God
and Nature have ever given any
creatures to explore the world with
and when the two blpeds gaze al
each other eye to eye. the inte1li-
gence in the one might we'll take of

ONE-MAN PERIL

THE danger of one-man diplom-
acy in Europe is now beginning
to be very apparent. The United
States Senate is properly disturbed
over the possibilities of President
Wilson getting the country into a DO
sition on the German colonial ques-
tion at variance with the desires Of
the American people, and burden
some and perilous in the extreme.
The President has insisted upon act
ing alone for the nation He will
brook no advice nor will he accent
the opinions or suggestions of
United States senators who must pass
upon the acceptability of the treaties
and agreements which he proposes to
make in France. And so upon his
head alone must rest the responsible
ity for the outcome.
But that is a small matter beside
the fact that the whole America n
people may be bound by this one
man diplomacy to a course of action
that will lead to much expense and
no end of sacrifice aid danger of
foreign entanglements. Senator Knox
is quite right when he says the Sem
ate wants some knowledge as to
what Americas share in policing
African colonies would be before
agreeing to go along with the pro-

gram the President is reported to
have agreed upon.
We went into the war for the sole
purpose of beating Germany and
crushing the power of the Hun to
force his will upon the free peoples
of the earth. Our young men are i'm
patient to come home, now that
work is done. They do not want to
be sent into Africa, and the Presi-
dent has no right to expect 1t of
them. Nor would it be an easy mat
ter to recruit an army in America to
hold the rifle over African savages.
And SO far as sending a conscript
army for that purpose. the thing
would be impossible.
We must know more about the
whole situation before we can judge
properly, but Mr.. Wilson does not see
fit to- take anybody on this side of
the water into his confidence.

AN ANCIENT PRECEDENT

(From the Detroit News.
A historical comparison with the
surrender of the German fleet has
been found by the English Bishop
of Durham in the pages of Livy, the
Roman historian of the First Cen
tury, B. c.. who describes the great
est naval surrender of ancient his
tory by an undefeated fleet, when
Carthage gave up her entire battle
fleet TO Rome in the last of the Punic
wars.
Rome was the great military pow
er of that age, while the opposing
force was the naval power, just as
Germany and England were before
the outbreak of the present world
war. Rome was the victor over
Carthage, thus defeating the great
est naval power of the age. German
writer's, in comparing the strength
of the two ancient powers with that
of the two modern world powers
anticipated a similar result for war
between Germany and England.
Fortunately for the world it was not
the sea power which surrendered its
ships this time.

firmation

LABOR AND POLITICS

~ AMUEL GOMPERS sums up his
objections to the organization
~ of an American Labor Party in
two sentences that ought to con-
vince the intelligent union man of
the folly and futility of such an ef-
fort. He says:
American labor during this war
has accomplished three times
what England has accomplished
without a political party of its
own, II labor goes into politics
it will have to get votes and la
Dor will decline from a power
full economic unit to vote
catching machine.
Mr.. Gompers is right. A labor
ticket would not win any more in
the United States than would a
bankers ticket, or capitalistic
ticket or a trust ticket. We have
higher ideals in this country than
those based on class interest, power
full though those influences may be
in our daily lives. Labor is bound
to have a growing and powerful
place in the counsels of the nation,
but it will not be through a labor
party. Rather it will be through
both the old parties catering to the
labor vote and through the great
and growing determination of the
American voter that everybody,
strong and weak, rich and poor,
shall have a fair deal at the hands
of the government-nothing more
and nothing less.
