A DISTRIBUTION CENTER

A s might be expected from an

4 \ OF this community, the Cham
ber of Commerce has issued al
Illustrated booklet which gives the high
points of Harrisburg as center of
distribution. There has been a grad
ual increase of the distributing houses
years. In addition to its many other
desirable features, no city along the
Eastern seaboard has such facilities
for distribution as Harrisburg.
This fact has been impressed upon
all the big manufacturers and supply
concerns of the country and one after
another has located here, several of
them having established general Of
fees ct this point. There is also a fine
showing of the distribution features

facilities, the convention features. at
fractions for visitors and the munich
pal advantages.
Even our own people do not realize
adequately the great progress that has
been made here during the last few
years, and these occasional publica-
tions of the men who are on the firin :
line of the city's advance are useful
not only as guide posts for the visitor,

conception of just what the President
means in his repeated statement that
he does not wish to 'individualize HUI
erta because of any personal resent
ment. but merely to differentiate from
the remainder of the Mexican people
with whom the United States has no
quarrel"
The opinion is very general that
there has been too much splitting of
hairs in the whole Mexican contro-
versy; that it would have been in
finitely better in the beginning to rec
ognize the defacto government and
give Huerta an opportunity to restore
something like order throughout the
country.
There is no less patriotism in the
United States to-day than at any time
in the history of the country. Nor is
the attitude of the public mind on the

feeling among many loyal citizens tina,
this country has been placed in an
embarrassing position by reason oi

to aid one assassin while declining tc

HARRISBURG GUARDsMEN

r HARRISBURG has always had
- reason to be proud of it's
L L National Guardsmen, but never
more so than now. The state
ment of Lieutenant Hunt, of the Regu-
lar Army, who last evening inspected
Companies d and J.. to the effect that
these organizations are ready for in
stant service in the field only served
to bring to public notice what every
body familiar with local Guard condi-
tions we'll knew. And the ready re-
sponse of "I will on the part of every
soldier to the question of the Army
officer as to whether or not they would
volunteer for service in Mexico shows
that the splendid training they have
received has not been in vain.
The National Guard of PENNSYLVANIA
is always ready and it's equipment is
as near the standard of the Regular
Army as it is possible to get it. It is
earnestly to be hoped that there will
arise no necessity for calling the mill
tia into active service, but there is nc
question as to its preparedness and II
the call to arms should come Pennsyl-
vania's guardsmen will do honor to
their State no matter in what situation
they may find themselves.

HUERTA'S DEFIANCE

~ TATESMEN and writer's both
here and abroad are at a loss to
~ account for the defiance by
Huerta of the United States Gov
ernment. Assuredly, it is argued, he
must realize that his attitude is GER
tain to result in his elimination as a
factor in the Mexican situation.
1t is possible that he has figured
on exactly this, outcome. Huerta has
been steadily declining in power and
influence during the past three months.
He has lost battle after battle in the
North and even now General Villa is
marching toward his capital over ex-
actly the same route followed by
General Taylor during the first inva-
sion of Mexico. His treasury is al
most empty and his European bank
ers have been so niggardly in recent
weeks that he has been compelled 10
pass payment on large issues of Mex
lean bonds. Slowly but surely he has
been drifting toward the rocks. with
the prospect of eventually falling into
the hands of the merciless Villa, who
would doubtless be only too happy tc
see Huerta sleeping beside Madero
Possibly the dictator has felt thai
it would be better to yield to a grear
power like the United States than tt
go down to ignominious defeat ant
death before the arms of a mere
bandit Unless he is a very much
over-rated man that is the only con
struction that may be put on his pres
ent action. Only a fool or a mania,
would place himself in the position
that Huerta has assumed unless h,
courted certain destruction. For W,
may say what we will of our presen
intentions, but we cannot leave Mex
leo until the Huertas and the Villa,
have been rendered powerless to d,
that country any more harm.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PLIGHT

r UNFORTUNATELY for President
Wilson in the Mexican situation
~ the opinion will not down that
the spineless policy of the ad-
ministration with respect to condi-
tions south of the Rio Grande has been
in large measure responsible for the
serious problem which now confronts
the United States While the people
VIII support the President in every
proper way since actual steps have
been taken to suppress Huerta, there
is an ill-concealed public sentiment
adverse to the whole business. It is
hard to arouse enthusiasm over mill
tary operations which are based upon
an alleged slight to the American flag
when for months pillage and rapine
and bloodshed have devastated the un-
fortunate neighboring republic without
any effort upon the part of the ad-
ministration to prevent the outrages.
1t appears to be the deliberate
judgment of men familiar with condi-
tions in Mexico that a prompt recog-
milton of the only constituted authority
in that country year ago would have
prevented much of the bloodshed and
property destruction which have char
acterized the unhindered course of the
bandits who are masquerading as
constitutional patriots. Not only
did President Wilson refuse to recog-
nize Huerta; he placed within reach
of the marauding bandits in the north
abundant munitions OF war that the
rebels might pursue their Infamous
and bloody campaign.
There is no such enthusiasm among
our own people as might be expected
under the circumstances. Instead.
there is widespread criticism of the
course of the President, who was
finally forced to find some reasona BILE
offense to Justify move agains

BRYAN STRONG FOR PEACE

"ENLIsTING"
BY Wing Dinger

It's mighty queer how ages
viii change with men and boys,
AS soon as real gun powder
Like war does make a noise.
The boy who's under eighteen,
About his age will lie,.
In order to enlist and
Go forth. to fight and die.
The man who's somewhat older
Who's always full of tricks,
And tries to make himself look young
Now says he's forty-six.
| guess the latter figure
They'd rather not be spooks-
Hes cowardly" Is better
Than How natural he looks"
But just the same. if there should
Be calls for volunteers,
You'll find 'em all enlsting,
Regardless of their years.
For they're the kind of people
Who ready are to die
In keeping dear Old Glory
Forever waving high.

lfTom the Pnllauelpnla Ledger
If the same spirit and firmness in
dealing with the Mexican revolution
airy leaders had been shown at the
beginning and consistently maintained
all danger of war with Mexico or any
portion of the MeXicans would have
been averted. On the other hand the
weak policy of watchful waiting has
brought the United States and Mexico
to the point of armed collision which
has all the appearance of the begin

CONGRESS AND THE RAILROADS

GFrom the Philadelphia Ledger1
1t was inevitable that the railroads
should be accused of attempting to
prejudice the public in favor of the
rate increase, but nothing more than
a statement of facts was necessary to
convince reasonable people of the de-
STABILITY of the new rates. The idea
of some of the politicians seems to be
that if the railroads are not earning
living they ought to be conflscated
and that II they are earning a living
they ought to be confiscated anyhow.
