~ EPUBLlCANS of Harrisburg
should not fail to register to-
y morrow, providing they did not
register last Fall. Progrcssivcs
and Democrats who see that the return
OF the Republican party to power is
the only way to restore the business
of the country to normal conditions,
bring back prosperity and provide
work for thousands upon thousands of
laboring men now out of employment,
and who wish to change their party
affiliations in order to help bring about
that result, should see to it that they
are properly registered and enrolled
as Republicans. After tomorrow it
will be too late.
Figures published elsewhere in this
issue show very clearly that there has
been big swing back to the Republi-
can party in the country districts of
Dauphin county. The voters there
have gone to the polling places and
have been enrolled. Harrisburg voters
who want to express their sentiments
at the May primaries should not lose
this opportunity.
Democrats are striving desperately
to make a showing in the cities of the
third class tomorrow. They are try
Ing to drag Republicans into their
own camps for the purpose OF support
ing this or that candidate and in an
effort to make some show of gain
over the vote cast for President Will
son in 1912. Not a member of their
own party will be overlooked who can
be persuaded to go to the registration
places Republicans. bearing this in
mind, should counter-b balance these
attempts to bolster up a waning
strength by registering their own pref
erences.
There is foolish talk of Republicans
being aligned with Democrats to de-
feat this or that faction of the party
at the primaries. There is no basis
Tor this assertion. 1t is another of the
shameless lies circulated for the pur-
pose of injuring the chances of the
Republican party at the polls in No
Vcmber. The place for Republican
names is in the Republican column.
Now is the time for Republicans, and
all those in sympathy with Republi-
can aims and principles, to prepare
TO express their own personal prefer
ences at the primaries next month.
The party that is going to swing Penn
sylvania back into line for the restora-
ton of sane government at Washing
ton and prosperity for the country at
large has no business with the petty
chickering's of Democrats over the
meatless bones of their own party
nominations.

POLITICAL SIDELlCHTS

Some of the Democratic orators
who are talking about ''purging" Cap
itol Hill might start in on the Demo-
cratic State committee to demonstrate
their proficiency as we'll as sincerity.
Mr.. Berry is now admitting that
Mccormick did not support Bryan in
1896. Pretty soon we will hear from
Palmer about It.
One of the orators of the Demo-
cratic machine yesterday referred to
Mccormick as the man who swept the
snakes and cobwebs out of the Demo-
cratic party. He must have over
looked Market Squares State head
quarters.
State Chairman Morris statement
that the Democratic party must be
kept so clean that people will be at
tracted to 1t is refreshing. Maybe he
means to do some Spring houseclean-
ing.
The trouble with the Democratic
machine Is that it has adopted every
thing that 1t used to denounce in other
parties, and thinks that by calling
them new names or keeping quiet that
the people will not get next.
The wise man will see that he is
properly registered tomorrow.
The Palmer Mccormick League
had a burlesque last night. 1t hit its
level.
1t took quite long time to put
over Greenawalt's confirmation.
Dick Hancock deserves that Will
Jamestown post office after that earn
est letter printed in the Patriot to-
day.
Doc Dougherty was mentioned in
the court gazette yesterday morning.
1t is said that Herr Moeslein is
panied to find that many Democrats
decline to take his aspirations to the
Democratic State committee seri-
ously.
When one considers the activities
of Wilson Bailey and the post office
scandals the nerve of the Democratic
machine candidates in talking about
purity rises to heights sublime.
Mccormick appears to be as OBJ
livious of what has been going on In
the name of the State committee as he
was OF the corruption in his mayor
atty election.
There are indications that Nc
Cormick campaign banner Is to be
raised in Market street. Wilson Bailey
will not figure on it.
To- morrow Is registration day.
Magistrate Belcher is said to be
slated for the Philadelphia mint su-
perintendency Hoskins loses again.
-Ryanites are following up Nc
Cormick all over Philadelphia and
holding bigger meetings. The war
goes on merrily.

LAWS swAMPING THE PEOPLE

vOHN BASSETT MOORE, the most
distinguished of the experts on in
ternational law, has recently deliv-
cred a forceful address in which
he says that the laws are swamping
the people and makes q plea for more
uniformity in the legal system. Pro-
fessor Moore has likewise criticised
the method in this country of issuing
judicial reports and decisions at the
slightest preteNt Bills are introduced
in the national and state legislatures
in a loose and unregulated way, with
little or no governmental responsibility
for their presentation.
This criticism from a distinguished
lawyer and diplomat sounds good to
the ordinary layman who is the suf-
ferer from the legal legislators who
have filled our law-making bodies and
deluged the people with statutes with
out end.
There could be no greater service
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania
than one session devoted to the repeal
of laws and the revision of the mass
of legal monstrosities which covers
the State as great blanket. Pro-
fessor Moore is right; the laws are
swamping the people.

HOPEFUL HESITATION
[From the New York Sun.

From the New York SUM-
War is not process o great delibera-
tion or delay. Action is what counts
and the quicker the, action the more
likely it Is to succeed. One of the first
canons of the art is to strike the enemy
before he is prepared, to attack when
and where attack is least expected
The rules of the game apply to the
beginning just, as .cogently, as to the
middle or end. 1t Is fatuous when
war has begun to linger over the ques-
ton of whether 1t is war or a dress
parade. While one adversary wastes
the time in hopeful hesitation the other
is apt to, tear up tracks; blow up
bridges, throw up earthworks, concen-
trate forces. organize defensive lines
which 1t may take many months and
many lives to storm.
What pity we had not brigade or
two ready to land at Vera Cruz within
day after the city was taken. II
might have followed hotfoot after
General Mas and driven him from the
line of the railway to Mexico CITY.
Now he will retreat at leisure, Destroy
ing the line as he goes. 1t Is time that
the situation were put In the hands of
the soldiers.

ciety upon the stump as is now touring
the State under the auspices of the re-
organization element of the DEM
ocracy. When Palmer is not praising
Mccormick, Mccormick is praising
Palmer, and Berry Is eulogizing both.
Just now the whole force of the re-
organization spellbinders is being d.
rected against State Senator Farley,
who has accused Mccormick of hos
tiiity to labor in running IA non-union
newspaper and vetoing an ordinance
during his term as Mayor to increase
the daily wage of laborers.

PRAISE HOSPdTAL AID
the Editor of The TELEGRAPH:

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Having returned home March 2,
after a stay of three months after Il
serious operation at the Harrisburg
Hospital, and being to date much i'm
proved, at this time want to thank
my many kind friends in and out OF
the city for continued kindness during
my illness. 1t was a great blessing to
me at that critical time. The Woman's
Aid Society OF the hospital is some
thing that every one should know as
to its benedcent influence and cheer
to the many suffering patients by their
presence and kind words from day to
day.
Much praise to them and to all the
officials in the hospital, serene in
knowledge and ready to do their full
duty to suffering humanity. This in
dispensable institution deserves the
hearty support and cooperation of the
public in general. With gratitude L
will surely ever appreciate. With
great respect.
Very truly,
JOHN Q. ADAMS,
102 Cherry street.

FOOD INSPECTION

FFICIALS of the Department of
Health are notifying dealers in
~ food products coming under the
head of the new sanitary regu-
lIations that they must take out licenses
if they wish to continue in business
It does seem a pity that the careful
honest dealer who has kept his prod
ucts clean and pure should be COM
PEELED to pay n license fee because
others have been remiss. But there
is another side to the license require
ment. While it may seem hard
ship to charge the honest man zee
in order to provide means oil de-
tecting the dishonest, in the end the
honest man may be the gamer.
Dirty, impure, carelessly prepared
foods cost less TO market than prod
ucts of top-notch standard. The man
who sells ice cream that is below the
legal requirements for butter fats ana
is favored with artificial syrups, for
instance, can undersell the manutac-
turer who is making strictly flrst-class
cream. He is an unfair competitor
aud it is right here that the reputable
dealer comes into his own with re-
gard to the payment of license. The
law will compel his rival to come up
to requirements and will place him IN
n position where he cannot palm oit
his inferior goods at prices slightly
lower than those at which the honest
merchant can afford to sell.

There Is general protest through

nagging of business by the adminlstra-
ton and Congress. Upon all sides are
rising protests against war not only
with Mexico; but the more serious war
if possible, which is being conducted

the punishment is severe we are doubt
