people of Russia, where they have

My sympathies are also with the

THE WAR AND BUSINESS

~ EORGE +. WATT, general man
ager of the Elliott-Fisher Type
~ writer Company, gives American
businessmen some sound advice
in his article in the Telegraph of yes
terday relating to the war in Europe
and it's effect on business conditions in
this country. Mr. Watt had almost
completed a tour of Europe on bust
ness for his firm when hostilities COM
,menced and he brings first-hand
knowledge of much value, which, in a
very practical way. he applies to the
situation as he finds 1t here.
Mr.. Watt says that European busi-
,nessmen see what is dawning on the
vision of our own financIers and manu-
tfacturers-that the war spells oppor-
ltunity for trade extensions of large
rmagnitude as well as losses through
the failure Of European markets.
Mr.. Watt foresees that eventually
we shall not only regain our European
trade, but will absorb much of that
of South America and the Orient,
until recently controlled largely by the
English, the Germans and the French.
Mr.. Watt is not foolishly optimistic
and he understands that America
must pay her share of the cost of the
war in which she has no part, but he
believes the new business we shall de-
velop will offset the great CONNER
cial losses that foreign wars are bound
to cause in this country"

VISITING OLD SCENES

THE Altoona Times has a lengthy
and very readable account of
= the visit a few days since of
Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel
king, and his wife to the scene of
DIR. >Schwab's birth, few miles from
Williamsburg, in Blair county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schwab slipped
quietly into the county from their
summer home at Loretto, and, piloted
by one of the old residents of Will
i1iamsburg, spent a day motoring
among the scenes of Mr.. Schwabs s
boyhood days. The millionaire put
business behind him entirely and
fcalled on numerous of the aged people
Iof the community, recalling incidents
and happenings of the days before
lanybody in Blair county suspected

for time in silent contemplation of
the little room in which he first saw
the light of day.
1t is a far cry from the mountain
hamlet of Blair county to the COM
manding position that Mr.. Schwab en-
joys to-day, and at first thought one
might wonder why a man with so
much to think about and so many of
the enjoyments of the world at his
beck and call should choose to spend
a day of his vacation in such humble
surroundings. But the call of our
childhood comes again and again.
some times very persistently, to all OF
us, be we of high or low degree. Few
there are who do not entertain an
affection that will never die for the
place we knew as "home" in our
early years. No matter how small 1t
is, nor how it's surroundings have
changed, 1t was the scene of joys we
can never forget, and the time often
comes that brings with ii a keen de-
sire to go back again; to try. vainly
mayhap, to live over those happy,
happy days.
Memory garbs the old home with
a glamour that marble halls may not
hold, and at the call of the days agone
we go hurrying back to meet the
shadows of the things that were. con-
tent to let the world of to-day roll on
apace while we live mid the scenes
of a rainbow w-hued past.

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.l
The European war, both in its dt-
version of public attention from local
topics of discussion and in the develop
ment of new phases of domestic prob
lens, is likely to make the task of cam
paign managers, particularly those on
the offensive. somewhat more difficult
than was anticipated few months ago.
Yet the underlying situation and the
permanent issues, which are to last ana
which are within the province of the
voters of Pennsylvania to determine in
the coming elections, have not changed
a dot by reason of the quarrels of Eu-
rope. And the duty which confronts
the Republican State committee meet
ing at Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and
the candidates who Immediately there
after will inaugurate the campaign, is
orally recognized two months ago.
No necessity of artificially preparing
issues exists this year. Nor should any
artifcially exploited issues, which for
the moment may make specious appeal
to public sentiment, be allowed to dt-
vert attention from the material points
of the contest. The battle-line is to be
straight-out array of the Democratic
administration against Republicanism,
of the innovations Of the Wilson ad-
ministration in tariff policy, in revenue
ence with business by the creation of
the Interstate Trade Commission and
otherwise, and in it's general attitude
toward industry and trade, against the
lIdulllO1dl SuppOIl anu VI
business and Industrial employment of
the Republican policy under which
Pennsylvania has prospered and of
which 1t has heretofore been the rec
ogniZed exponent
There can be no altering of the lines
or the issues. The spectacle of war,
with it's devastation of Europe only en-
phasizes the Importance and absolute
necessity of so developing our own re-
sources and industries that the United
States shall be absolutely self-sustain-
ing under whatever emergency may
arise, which principle is the genius of
Republican policy and the keynote of
party campaigns

UNITING FOR BUSINESS

~ ECEN1L1 FRANK "A. NdhueIip'
- president of the National City
! - Bank of New York, delivered a
remarkable address before the
State Chamber of Commerce of New
Jersey. Mr.. Vanderlip is one of the
recognized leaders in the financial
world and what he has to say comes
with special significance at this time.
He believes that nearly everything
that businessmen have to complain OIL
in the political tendency of the day
can be pretty directly traced to their
own neglect of their political duties.
on this point he says:
The stake which business men
have in the outcome is enormous.
Great as it is, however, 1t is of no
more concern to them. or no more
import to the future happiness OF
their children, than it is to the CON
dition and outlook of the humblest
of workers. ,,
and discouragement OF dlrectNe
ability the disheartening OF men OF
enterprise, will not have It's effects
confined to the class which you as
delegates from the Chambers OF
Commerce represent. Its results
will encompass the whole social
body. There is no man so humble
yours in the outcome.
Mr.. Vanderlip has set forth in this
terse and convincing way the very
fundamental principle that is now at
stake in the present serious business
dilemma. There is an alarming in
crease of paternalism under the eX-
listing administration at Washington
and we are plunging on along the lines
of theoretical government in such a
way as to cause thoughtful and con-
structive minds to pause and ask,
whittier are we drifting? The con-
centration of authority in a central
government and the elimination of
the freedom of the State and local
governments is a serious proposition,
which. as Mr.. Vanderlip observes. is
significant phase of our political
life.
The constructive forces of the coun-
try have been silent for years under
the calumny and the widespread crit-
cism of little men. and during the last
few years there has come into the
public life of the nation a large num-
ber of half-baked theorists who have
vaunted their ideas of government and
business and pretty much everything
else at the expense of the prosperity
and happiness of the people. And
until the more sane and thoughtful
men and women realize that these
false teachers are creating distrust
and breaking down the barriers of
sanity there will be no change for
the better.
In the opinion of Mr. Vanderlip 1t
ought to be the business of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the other
organizations of businessmen to see
to it that every misstatement of
fact, whether made in Congress, in
the press or in any public utterance,
| is challenged. Let men understand
that loose statements, that misstate-
ments, can no longer go carelessly
on"
The time has come when common
sense must prevail in this country and
the demagogues and the over-ambi-
tious men who for their own purposes
are misleading the people shall be
driven to the rear. Appeals to preju-
dice and to class hatred and to the
discontented should be crushed as
one would crush the viper, and with
as little consideration.

alleged mysterious shooting af-
= fair in the northern section of
the city a few nights ago which
cannot be concealed behind knowing

clairvoyant suggestion.
Underneath the apparent indiffer-
ence of the public to the attitude of
the police department is serious
muttering of criticism which must un-
dermine the confidence of the people
in their chosen constabulary. Above
and beyond the immediate offense is
the more serious question of the duty
of the police officials to protect the
community and safeguard life and
property.
To assume that there is no public
interest in an Indifferent attitude
toward the offender or offenders on
the part of the police department is to
assume that the public cares nothing
about what its police officials do in
any case.
There may be deplorable circum-
stances which justify leniency under
certain conditions, but the shooting of
a man full Of holes and his refusal to
make accusation against the one who
has done the shooting constitute a
situation demanding thorough police
investigation.
Loss of public confidence in the

cumspection should he observed in the

.TEDDY" AS A WAR LORD

= VOW often nowadays do we hear
- the remark. Its a good thing
i / Teddy isn't President; he GER
tainly would have us in a war
with some nation!"
But is this attitude fair to the dis
tinguished citizen of Oyster Bay? An
admirer, discussing this tendency to
paint the Colonel as a fire-eating
statesman, says:
During the seven and one-half
years of his administration not one
single shot was fired against a for
eign foe. Speaking of him as a war
the action of a war lord? The win
ming of the Nobel peace prize
clearly points out that he is not
war lord. He did not go to war
with Venezuela merely because he
declined to be irritated by the ac-
tions of a weak opponent. If Mr..
Wilson had followed his example
and sent the battle fleet around the
world the great European conflict
now being waged could have been
called hasty and unsafe did more
for the permanent peace of the
world than any other diplomat of
his day.
Colonel Roosevelt may not always
be in harmony with the universal
peace advocates for, like many of his
fellow countrymen, he believes in an
efficient navy as the best guarantee
of peace, but the winner of an inter-
national peace prize can hardly be
characterized as a war lord.
