LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TRIBUTE TO CHARLES L. LANDS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

L " tHo CuboF W tHS IOto9fuP"s
Soon after the writer had re-
signed the principalship of the Har-
risburg High School, he published
q book entitled: ANNALS of the
Boys High School" which traced
minutely the activities of that school
first in the Lancasterian building
on Walnut street, and then in the
Stevens building on Chestnut street,
during the twenty years that he had
been associated with it. 1t gave
the name of every graduate of the
school during all that period, as
well as the names of all non-grad-
yates who had been associated with
the school for any length of time.
Since that publication a quarter
of century has rolled around, with
all its wondrous changes. Many of
the bright young men whose names
were there recorded have risen to
positions of commanding promi-
nence, one of them having recently
been elected Lieutenant Governor of
our great State.
And many after fighting we'll life's
battle. have fallen before the grim
reaper. But a year has elapsed
since the writer found tributes in
the Telegraph to two who had
ldiiell dlleT carving q LnelF name
high in the Hall of Fame:-Wil-
liam F. Darby and Lieutenant Col
onel Frank z. Ziegler.
Now another noble member of
that High School has passed away,
Charles e. Landis.
OF him as pupil it can be said
most emphatically that thoroughness
and honesty were the cardinal prin-
ciples of his school life; and by that
same thoroughness and uprightness
he carved his way to success and
to the esteem of all who were asso-
ciated with him in the busy fields
of business life.
He fought life's battle bravely and
honorably; he commanded the es-
TEEN and confidence of the COM
munity; and his former principal
desires to place on his grave this
tribute as a garland to the memory
of noble man whose every action
was dictated by rectitude of purpose.
May He Rest in Peace
There seems darkness on the day
His smile no longer cheers;
A sadness in the stars of night
Like eyes that look through tears.
Fold him, o Father, in thy arms,
And may he henceforth be
A messenger of hope between
our human hearts and Thee"
j. HOWARD VERT.

PHILLIPS ON PRUSSIA

What does Prussia represent? She
represents the reorganized fuedal
system of the Nineteenth Century.
She is a power marshaled into form
by the one purpose of court and
soldiers.
She is not nation; she is an
army. Her great public schools and
all her civil life have a great, If not
primary. purpose IN the design to
make men soldiers.
Every man of the population
banker. mechanic. tradesman or
scholar, everything but the pulpit
goes for the three appointed years
into camp to be disciplined to arms,
and Prussia's policy is an effort to
drag the world back three hundred
years.

growth. the abnormal monstrosity of
the Nineteenth Century.-WeDdell

"Down and Out" Congressman

freely, but you haven't said turkey
to me-"
Surprised, but glad and unabash-
ed, the claimant said IT was coming
to that" produced a thousand dollar
derstanding what was to be done
next day, when the bill was due on
the calendar.
The great man took the money,
repaired to a gambling house, had
an extraordinary run. of luck, won
heavily, and playing all night, for
getting about his engagement, went
to bed at daylight, not appearing in
the House at all. The bill was
called, and there being nobody to
represent it, under the rule of the
calendar, killing it for that session,
of course.
The day after the claimant met
his recalcitrant attorney on the ave-
nue. face to face and took him to
task for his delinquency.
"Ah, yes" said the great man,
"you are the little rascal who tried
to bribe me the other day. Here
is your dirty money. Take it and
be off with you. 1 was just seeing
how far you would 60"
The comment made by those who
best know the great man was that
if instead of winning in the gambling
house he had lost he would have
been up betimes at his place in the
House and doing his utmost to pass
the claimants bill and get another
fee

COL. BARNETT

Colonel James e. Barnett is being
discussed as the likely successor of
Public Service Commissioner Harold
M. Mcclure of Lewisburg, who died
suddenly last week. Potential forces
in the Republican State organiza-
ton are favorable to the appoint
ment of Colonel Barnett and are
hopeful that Governor William c.
Sproul will consent to name him.
Judge Mcclure was commissioned
last month for term expiring July
1, 1928.
When Commissioner w. A. Magee
was dropped from the commission
and his successor was not named
from Allegheny county, it was un-
derstood that later in the Sproul ad-
ministration an Allegheny county
man would be placed on the COM
mission. The forces favorable to
the selection of Colonel Barnett are
expected to be successful in securing
his appointment, if the Allegheny
county leaders will waive claim to
the place. There is strong proba-
bility that the waivers will be given,
with the thought in mind that an
Allegheny man will be put forward
when the term of Commissioner
James Alcorn of Philadelphia ex-
pires July 1.
Colonel Barnett lives in Washing
ton, Pa, and practices law in Pitts
burgh. he has the united support of
the Republican leaders of his home
county. and his capability to admin
lister the office is generally recog-
nized. His name was considered
by the Governor when the successor
of Mr.. Magee was chosen.
Colonel Barnett served the first
half of the Hastings administration
as the Deputy Secretary of the Com
monwealth. resigning from the office
when the Tenth regiment was sent
to the Philippines in the Spanish
American war, he was the Lieuten-
ant Colonel of the organization.
When Colonel A. L. Hawkins died
he succeeded to the command of the
regiment and led the troops in all
of their hard fighting in that cam
paign. In 1899 he was elected
Treasurer of Pennsylvania. Since
his retirement from that Office in
1902. he has been practicing law in
Pittsburgh.

Reason Easy to Find


Why Congress even thought of
repeating the daylight saving law
ought to be mysterious, but unfor-
tunately it isn't. The Senators and
Representatives had heard from the
farmers-from how many farmers
nobody knows, but evidently from
enough to arouse fears in the always
timid minds of legislators threaten
ed with what they think an or
ganized or united vote. Anyhow,
they had been persuaded that the
farmers were opposed to the inno-
walton, and that was enough. Mo-
body else was heard, or, il heard,
was not needed, and nothing except
the vehement controversy over more
important matters saved the coun-
try from what would have been.
not, indeed, great calamity-to call
it that would be more than an ex-
aggeration-but certainly a real and
large diminution in the happiness
of at least three-quarters of the
American people.
AS for the farmers, of course we
have for them the high respect that
comes from a clear sense of utter
dependence on their exertions. If 1t
had been thought that daylight
saving" really injured them, nobody
would have demanded it. But they
only said they were hurt; they new
er proved it, for there is nothing in
the law or the plan to make them
change by single second their ac-
customed hours and habits of labor
unless they choose.
The case of the market gardeners
was a little different and better
They have to get up and go to mar
ket an hour earlier than in the past
and nobody can blame them for not
liking that. but. compared with the
country's whole population, they are
a minute group, and their hardship,
though real, is a small one. not in
terfering at all with life. liberty, or
the pursuit of happiness.

DAD AND MOTHER
[By Frank L. Stanton1

BY Frank l.. Stantonl
They went to meet him: The little
place
Where he first smiled sweet in the
Mornings face
Where he waved good-by as he
marched away
1t just kept house" by itself that
day!
For Dad and Mother alone it knew
And the boy whose heart to his
home beat true,
Coming home from the war scenes
dim
Where they kept the home fires
bright for him
Dad and Mother.
Going to meet him-first glance to
win!
Their hearts were there ERE the ship
sailed in!
On the cheering decks-gone wild
for joy, Z
Would even Mother know her boy
But he, far-tossing on ocean foam,
Had but one dream-of the folks at
home!
For him two faces alone ,shone
bright:
One of ioveliness-both of light
Dad and Mothers.
First to greet them! The old
home ground,
Dad and Mother, and-arms around!
Loyal to country and home-at last
With the arms of home to hold him
fast!
For the Love that fought for his
Country so
Only the glory of Love can know!
That Love to hold like the hearts
pure gold,
And true, till his life's last story's
told,
To Dad and Mother.

A Little Child Again

Now I lay me down to sleep"
In yonder star I seem to see
Myself a little child again
With lisping lips, at Mothers
knee.
'I pray Thee, Lord. my soul to keep"
AS then I prayed, long years ago,
While Mothers hands were clasping
mine
Her head, in reverence, bended
low.
eff I should die before I wake"
And leave this world of blight and
pain,
Beyond the range of bursting she'll
Beyond the sight of comrades
slain
"I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take;"
That mid Thy Hosts I may re-
80 main,
Until my Mother comes to me,
And clasps my hands in hers
again.

Stripes, France.

GET DOWN TO BEDROCK
[Publie Ledger1

IL upile LeQSerI
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Frank r.
McClain is quite right in suggesting
that the proposed welfare commits
sion OF the State must get down
TO bedrock in attacking the radical
propaganda that is now going on
mere and all over the country.
While special Americanization ex-
perts who are to be employed are
doubtless men who can do much
good in counteracting the wide
spread campaign in favor of ex-
IRENE and anti-American and anti
social doctrines, the schools, after
all, must be the chief agencies of
attack. Above all, whatever be said
by word or by writing should be of
the simplest character, since the
difi1culty with so much that has been
done in the past to Americanize
the aliens and to answer irrespon-
sible radicals has been that it was
entirely above the heads of those
whom it was supposed to reach. On
the other hand, those who are en-
gagged in handing out Red litera-
ture make no such mistake. Their
primers are like the kindergarten
booklets for simplicity. And the
very danger of the casuistry and
sophistry of their most adroit at
tacks on existing governmental
methods lies in the seeming candor
with which half-truths and lies are
paraded as admitted facts" There
fore what is sorely needed is that
the welfare board shall get right
down to the argument ad homi-
nem, the direct appeal to the aver
age individual, and the more prac-
ticaI. the more simple, the appeal
the more effective will be the cam
paign. Huge pamphlets containing
worthy addresses, reports of meet
ings that are forbiddingly volumin-
GUS, are of no value at all. The
sooner those who realize the grav-
ity of the situation adopt another
line of strategy the better for the
State and the citizens in general.

League of America would here pay
it's tribute of respectful affection

continued to write and to read
books even during the most exact

Vividly interested and ,expertly en-

Between the idiot and the man of
sense, the lunatic and the man of
genius, there are degrees-streaks-
of idiocy and lunacy. How many
expectant politicians elected to Con-
gress have entered Washington all
hope, eager to dare and do, to come
away broken in health, fame and
fortune, happy to get back home
sometimes unable to get away, to
linger on in obscurity and poverty
to a squalid and wretched old age.
L have lived long enough to have
known many such: Senator's who
have filled the galleries when they
rose to speak; House heroes living
while they could on borrowed
money, then hanging about the
hotels begging for money to buy
drink.
There was famous statesman and
orator who came to this at last, of
whom the typical and characteristic
story was told that the holder of a
claim against the government, who
dared not approach so great man
with so much as the intimation of
bribe, undertook by argument to
interest him in the merit of the
case.
The great man listened and re-
piled: "I have noticed you scatter
ing your means round here pretty

so planted as memorial is to be

one of its greatest needs-a Shade

THE FRENCH REPLY

= EIPSIC and Heidelberg were
not long in receiving from the
French universities their an
swer to the nervy suggestion that
pre-war relations be renewed be-
tween the Universities of France and
Germany. What could be more di-
rect than the reply of the University
of Bordeaux:
Please make a short visit to the
devastated regions of Northern
France and then inform us upon
your return how long 1t would
be before you would renew rela-
tions with a people committing
similar deeds in your country.
The generation perpetuating such
denominations has severed all con-
nection with humanity. Perhaps
we shall renew relations with the
next generation.
1t would be well for many pacific
individuals on this side of the ocean
to realize that the unspeakable Hun
has brought down upon himself the
wrath of generations unborn and
that any mushy attitude in these
days of peace negotiations ought to
be frowned upon by those who have
saved the world from the insatiate
greed of the Berlin autocracy. We
should not forget the outrages, the
incineratory torch, the killing of wo-
men and children and the devasta-
ton of Europe by the beasts who
were unleashed in the summer of
1914.
