The selection beyond question is purely Had not Mr. Daugherty and Mr. Harding been close friends of long standing, and had not Mr. Daugherty fought a long and successful fight for the nomination and election of Mr. Harding, it is not likely that he would have been considered for the place.

But that dc es not mark him as a man of small ability; tar from it. On the other hand, he is a shrewd and able lawyer, and as campaign manager for Mr. Harding he learned a lot about the politics and the per eonalities of the country that will stand him in good stead as a member of the Cabinet, where, no doubt, be will continue to have the ear of the President and will watch with jealous eye any eKort that might tend to mar the administration. It is but natural for the incoming President to have ai man in whom he has implicit confidence, and with whom he is accustomed to discuss all manner of intimate matters. In that capacity.

as well as the head of the legal department of the Government. Mr. Daugherty should serve a very use ful nuroose. t. annrrows Couldn't "set to music what they think of this "SERVICE ABOVE SELF" C.

STAPLES, vice president of the Bell Telephone Com pany of Pennsylvania, before the Rotary Club at its anniversary luncheon yesterday, struck the very Keynote or tne present situation when he said, in speaking on the general topic. "Service," that hard work and faith are essentials to success in the era upon The remarkable growth of the Rotary movement itself is based on that service stands first in business before self or profits. The nan service. It doesn't consider a man a success unless he la of the fullest possible value to his fellow men in helping them to greater hap pines, no matter whether he is a money maker or not. The Rotary Club demands fair dealings, honest methods and high standards In business." is the theme of the Rotary platform, and its last' clause, "He profits most who serves best," has been adopted as the latter part of the official slogan: "Service Above 8elf He Profits Most Who Serves Best," This thought implanted In tne lite or one man spreads others, and a small group possessing the thought of unselfish service soon creates the desire in other men to do likewise.

Hence the rapid spread of the Rotary Idea, 't The growth of Rotary has been nontaneoua. Never, at any time. has the organization employed a paid organizer. On the other hand, extreme care has always been ex ercised in surveying titles and towns which apply for membership, to make sure that such communities are' ready for a Rotary Club and are of sufficient size to provide a membership of representative men and still have the membership restricted to one man from each distinctive business or profession, although, occasionally, one additional representative from the same firm is permitted. This plan of restricted membership insures the fullest possible representation of the community, while at the same time it is Impossible for the membership to become large and unwieldy; united action is easier with a small group; the diversified representation provides an ideal forum for the discussion of local problems; no one line of business or profession can dominate the group; and the smallness of the club permits of the enforcement of the attendance rule, which requires that any member be automatically removed from the roster if he is absent four times in succession.

This insistence upon regular attendance has given the Rotary Club the record of having the largest average attendance of all organizations of business and professional men. Rotary, it seems, is a "school for service," in which men of hundreds of cities, big and little, gather once a week, in the middle of the day, have a good time, become well acquainted, open their minds and hearts to learn, and then seek to ap ply their lessons, and if it does nothing but preach the gospel of "service" in this period of recon struction and readjustment, when "service above self" must be the working motto of the world if we are to pull through, it will have been well while. "Hickville' wants to change its name, and we suggest that It make a trade with New York. WASHINGTON'S VISION MAXIMILLIAN HARDEN, German journalist, in a widely circulated interview in this country, begs President elect Harding to cut away from the teachings of Washington, throw over his policies of aloofnes from European entanglements and assume all risks incident to full participation in Continental affairs. Mr.

Harden loftily tells us that Washington probably was all right In his time, but intimates at best he was a man of small foresight whose judgment would be unequal to safely piloting the nation through the complexities of the present, andthat, at all events, even Washington meant his apply only to the imme diate moment in which it was given. Harden's notions, are not original. They express German hopes, it is true, but they were expressed in, this country' first by those who set themselves up as greater than Washington, who view him sas a second rate statesman and who would throw the policies of the past overboard, tear up the charts by which our country has been guided and strike out on a new course leading no one knows whither as convoy for the battered hulks of Europe and protector of the universe. As opposed to this twaddle let us glance at this extract from the farewell address of Washington, as embracing the belief of the first President as to the position of America with respect to foreign alliances and entanglements. Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence. I conjure you to believe me, fellow citisens, the jealousy of a free people ought to constantly be awake; since history and experience prove that foreign Influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a do iense against it. The great rule of conduct for us, in regafM to foreign nations. is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.

So far as have "already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our con cerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take' such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected; wnen belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us when we may choose peace or war. as our interest, guided by Justice, shall counsel Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon for eign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rtvalship, intedest. humor or caprice." Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a respectfully defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies. In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend.

I dare not hope that they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, on prevent our nation from run ning the course which hitherto has marked the destiny of nations: but I may ever flatter my self that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that tbey may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn gainst the mischiefs of foreign intrigues, to guard against the impostures ot pretended patriot Ism, this hope wilt be recompense for the solicitude for your welfare by which thy Aava been dictated. This sums up Washington's views on this important phase of our national life. It is the basis for Hard en's attack and the assaults of Washington's critics at horns. Is there anything in it that forbids American participation in a disarm ament agreement, for example, or even to prevent us from assuming our place In a world league for peace in which our interests are amply protected? With "temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies," he finds no fault. With agreements that make us a party to European squabbles and European political plotting he bids us hold aloof, and shall say that his advice is not as good now as when it was written.

America to day is the hope of the world. Preserve America and you preserve democracy for the people of all lands. Drag us into the maelstrom ot European politics and the whole universe begins to do a whirligig dance toward destruction. Washington saw in America an example and an in spiration for all mankind. Is it less to day? i That is the question the nation must answer during the coming year.

By the Ex Commltteemaji Mechanics, oilers, pump runners and other attaches of the Demo cratic State machine are to become observers from March 4, and everything that can be noted about the Harding Administration, the actions of Congress or the Pennsylvania State government and General Assembly is to be filed for future use. Visits paid to Philadelphia and other places in the State by State Chairman Bruce F. Sterling, who seems to have recovered from his' adventures with the Republican avalanche of November, have laid down this pojicy, and the force at the Market Square windmill will co operate. Sterling came to Pennsylvania directly after an extended conference with Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, the big boss of the Democratic machine In this State, who feels reasonably safe until the next State Cbmmittee election.

Sterling Is expected to spend considerable time pussyfooting about the State in an effort to prevent any demand for a reorganization of the party on the score of Its severe defeats and loss of Congressional and Legislative seats. The scheme will be to organize a criticizing corps on Harding and Sproul, Congress and the Legislature, so as to keep the minds of bellicose Democrats busy until after the fall elections. One thing appears to be certain, and that is the intention of Palmer and his lieutenants to stay in npli tlcs and make a fight for the gubernatorial election next year. To this end everything possible will be capitalized and the heavy artillery of Pennsylvania Democratic newspapers will turn loose when the Legislature adjourns. Just at present there is considerable popgunning under way, but it finds no echo outside of this city.

Roderick Random, writing In the Scranton Times, discusses Federal appointments up his way and remarks that John E. Barrett, the Scranton editor and poet, is a candidate for postmaster, adding he deserves to get it. In regard to the revenue collectorship, Random says: "It will be more than a year until Fred C. Kirkendall's commission as internal revenue collector in the Tenth Internal Revenue district expires, and he hopes to serve out his term, though he fully understands that he is in a hazardous position. The Tenth Internal Revenue district covers twenty counties.

The appointment is a senatorial one. When President Wilson came in, Griffith T. Davis, of this city, had just been ousted by the decision of President Taft to abolish the district and send all records to Lancaster. It was a year later that by strenuous efforts on the part of Scrantonlans the internal revenue office was restored to Scranton and Mr. Kirkendall in installed.

He will be fortunate if he is allowed to remain. If Griffith T. Davis is a candidate for the succession on the Republican side I know no more deserving Republican and hope that he will be appointed." Garrett Sutton Wall and Robert G. Einstein, son of Senator Morris Einstein, Pittsburgh, will be the guests to day of friends at the Kappa Sigma House, Dickinson College, Carlisle. Mr.

Wall will make an ad 1 dress in the evening on Lieutenant Governor Edward E. Beidleman. Allegheny County Commission ers have voted in favor of giving women employes the same pay as men. "Bills asking appropriations for deficits for State hospitals will be assembled this week and studied and the committee will take them up when it meets again next week," said Chairman William J. McCaig, of the House Appropriations Committee, during a visit to Harrisburg to day.

The chairman said he came to look over some matters at committee headquarters. The mail of the State Legislative Reference Bureau has been pretty well filled with drafts of bills sent in by members of the Legislature to be put into shape for presentation. It is expected some of the educational and welfare bills will be completed this week. Officials of the State Chamber of Commerce to day declined to give any information as to the trend of the votes in the referendum being taken among the members of the Chamber on the Governor's taxation program, but from all indications there will be a considerable majority against coal and manufacturing tax bills. The votes will be tabulated the latter part of the week and sent to the board of directors, which will meet in Philadelphia next Monday at noon.

The anthracite region newspapers are reviving the story that Auditor General Charles A. Snyder is being strongly urged for internal revenue commissioner and say that he Is being backed by Senator Boies Penrose for the appointment. The story that Colonel Joseph H. Thompson, of Beaver county, may be prohibition enforcer, a place now held, by his law partner, Arthur Mc Kean. Is also being revived.

Robert Couison, former outfielder ot the Brooklyn, is out as a candidate for appointment as sue SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS 1 SON VUHAT 1 I IT 5h smo Yovj would Know a lot aot him OH ALL IHB lMP46i Yeru Tow vS cessor of the late Sheriff A. B. Gray, of Washington county, who was his uncle. Couison was deputy sheriff and, like his uncle, played football and baseball at State College. He was also coach of the Washington and Jef ferson eleven.

Couison is strongly backed, but there are a number of applicants for the appointment, which will be made by the Governor. Sheriff Gray was formerly a State highway engineer here and well known to Harrisburg people. Pottsville Councilmen are on the war path against one of the MacDade third class city bills, which would designate the duties of City Commissioners and prevent juggling of office in event of a factional or political row. The Pottsville men think such matters should be left to the discretion of Councilmbn, instead of being fixed by law. Ono of the interesting statements made in the newspapers is that Harding intends to select a "wise" man to be Ambassador to Japan.

The place has lately been filled by Roland Morris, former Democratic State chairman and a machine adherent of credit and renown from re organization days. Eighteen protests have been filed against liquor licenses in Luzerne county. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR For the Needy To the Editor of the Telegraph: Knowing the numerous demands In different parts of the world to day for food and clothing for starving millions, and my heart being touched by these pitiful requests, especially from the Near East Relief and from China for the starving millions there, a thought occurred to me as I witnessed the performance of "Let's Go" at the Orpheum Theater last Saturday afternoon. The participants In this play conducted themselves In every way like professionals, and the ones who came to see the play did not feel that they had come merely contribute their share to a good cause, but they felt, as I did, that they had got their money's worth. The audience was convulsed with laughter many times, and enjoyed the play immensely.

This talent that was presented to the city of Harrisburg could be used in a way that would benefit the millions of people In the world to day who do not have sufficient food and clothing to keep them, alive If not supplied with these necessities. This would be a pleasure to the players in that they knew they were using their talents for such a great cause, and the audience would be benefited twofold; they would be getting their money's worth and wltnesslng.a show that would be as good as any they could see professionals act in. and they would have the knowledge that they are the means of helping to feed and clothe millions. These players could be used not only on one occasion, but on many occasions, and might be known as "The Harrisburg It could also be suggested to the Orpheum Theater that, as their contribution to this great cause, they might rent the Orpheum Theater at a cheaper rate than otherwise. Trusting that this suggestion will receive your serious attention, I remain.

Several of them arranged to have copies of all bills forwarded to their homes, with the intention of studying them, while other members have been seen engaged in the same congenial task in the hall of the House. One member, who lives in a distant part of Pennsylvania, turned up at his desk Saturday, and spent most of the day reading bills. He said he had come here for the session, and decided to work if the others had gone away.

As a matter of fact about a dozen members of the Legislature are making their homes in Harrisburg during the session, having closed or leased their homes so that the apartments they occupy here are home to all intents and purposes. Nearly all of them are regular attendants at some church and have also visited organizations of which they are members at home. This is the way the Legislators used to do a century ago in Harrisburg and in spite of the annihilation of time and distance there are still some who take their duties so earnestly that they stay here all the time. "Uncle Joe'l, Hunter, iead of the township road bureau of the State Highway Department, who was Highway Commissioner in the days when the automobile license law was being put into effect, says the letters dug up the other day and printed as showing how people resented the inauguration of the license system for. motor vehicles, do not tell the real story.

"You ought to have head what people said to me over the telephone," he remarked. State Treasurer Harmon M. Kep hart, who is generally believed to be In line for the proposed place of Deputy State Treasurer and custodian of the twenty or twenty five millions of bonds which the State owns or takes care of, was the victim of some rumors not long ago. Soon after the Treasurer, as chairman of the State Insurance Fund, notified the State it could have back the $500,000 it appropriated to start the fund some goat started the story that the money did not exist and one newspaperman spent considerable time on the yarn. The story goes that when the inquirer' asked about the money he was told by Mr.

Kephart to call up the bank which, was officially advertised in the newspaper as the depository. He did so and was told the fund did not have $500,000, but almost $750,000 in coin of the realm and It was growing every day. Commissioner of Forestry Gilford Pinchot has the faculty of being able to say things very tersely. The Commissioner is somewhat given to abbreviating anyway and has been known to answer to the appellation Not long ago the Commissioner was notified that he could buy for the State some rather desirable tracts of land. He was naturally pleased and they say the ensuing conversation was about this way: "How much?" "Ten dollars per acre." "Nix." Colonel John' D.

Colonel McLean has had charge of matters relative to the reorganization of various branches of the Department's activities and it involved a tremendous lot of preparatory study. People at the State Capitol may change, but, certain habits do not.

Back in the days when the present Capitol was Opened and anything went wrong about the building or folks wanted to know anything about It they said: "Ask Rambo." Now that Samuel Rambo Is back again as Deputy Superintendent folks are doing it again. Not long ago a couple of men were Interested in certain change In the building LIFE Sne KkJOVaJ GEonae and after fussing with the proposition got up and started out of the room. One asked the other what he was going to do about it. "Ask Rambo," was the reply. "So as remarked the other.

Mr. ttamDo was the superintendent in charge of the construction of the Capitol and was named by Edwin S. Stuart, who was a business men, first and last, as superintendent of the building. When Governor Sproul named him as deputy to Superintendent Tem pleton he said: "It will be a comfort to have Rambo about It all shows what keeping on the job and keeping details in mind will do. When it comes down to moving whole trees the crew organized by Thomas D.

Beidleman 'to get the park in shape for the improvements is entitled to compliments. A short time ago a tree was marked out to go. Mr. Beidleman figured out it was a good healthy treo and that there was a spot that needed a tree. He had just the right size of a hole dug and then he got the crew ready.

They took that tree and had it in its new place in less than twenty minutes. Later in the day a man who had been discussing trees remarked that it was still in the old place. "No, its over there," said Mr. Beidleman, pointing to a spot some yards distant. The eod had been replaced about the tree and the former location covered over and sodded and the man walked over one place and then around the tree in its new bed before he would believe it.

The record of the Rev. Hong Neok Woo, of Shanghai, as a soldier of United States in the Civil War has been cleared upby Jacob Stauffer, search 'clerk of the Adjutant General's Department and one of the veterans of the State Government. Mr. Stauffer has been in the Department for years and years and has straightened out the records of more men than he can remember, having been the means 'of securing' pensions for widows, removing stains from reputations, exposing fakirs and doing plain simple justice. The story of the Rev.

Hong Neok Woo is not only typical, but exceedingly interesting, because he was one of the first Chinamen naturalized by the United States and when Lee invaded Pennsylvania in 1863 became a soldiers in the Union Army and went out to fight. It happened that his later services in China were the subject of a pamphlet by an officer in Perry's expedition to Japan, who was an authority on Oriental matters, but In some way the name of the Chinese volunteer did not accord with records. So they passed it on to Adjutant General Frank D. Beary, swho summoned Stauffer. Pennsylvania had thousands and thousands of volunteers in the Civil War, but the veteran clerk started to dig.

And he found that Ung Hong Neok, residing in Lancaster, had answered the call of Governor Curtln In 1863 and had been a member of Company Fiftieth Emergency Volunteers, a. regiment recruited entirely in Lancaster countyv and which was rather prompt in its response. The singularities of Chinese nomenclature had caused the confusion and in running down the record Mr. Stauffer found the Shanghai man had lived in Lancaster from 18G4 to 1864 and had been naturalized in 1860. He was a real patriot even if he did drop Ung from the front end of his name and hitch on Woo after he went back to Far Cathay.
