The Defeat OF Trayers.

The elimination Of JEROME TRAyERs
in the first round OF the contest for the
British golf championship is blow TO
the hopes OF American lovers of the
game. II was Mr.. TRAvERs's misfor-
tune. some may say. to meet a very
strong opponent at the outset. True,
but he might have met one In the semi
finals and have been put out with the
winning post almost in sight. Again it
may be said that he would have had q
better chance to win If the round had
been at SO holes instead OF IS. Also
true: but he might have been beaten
worse at the longer distance.
All conjectures, all "ifs" and all
might have beens" are futile. TRAyERs
Is out. and the real hope Of an Ameri-
can victory has received at least dis
tinct shock. Chick" EVANS is left and
so is the champion OUIMET. But the
former Is Il brilliant uncertainty. who
has too often missed the vital chance
~ the last moment. OUIMET won n
victory little short Of marvellous when
he captured the open championship I:
but he lacks u record of steady and con-
slstent golf.
II one OF these should live through
this tournament every one on this side
would be glad; but II would not he the
same sort Of gladness as that which
would have hailed Travers victory,
for this would have been an unques-
tionable triumph for tried and seasoned
American golf.

A New Constitutional Amendment
Proposed

To be embodied in the customary
Joint resolution OF Congress. and when
adopted by Congress to be submitted
70 the States for ratification:
In addition 10 the powers and duties
described In Section 9 OF Article H.. the
President shall from time to time give to
the Congress information of the state OF
affairs In foreign territory adjacent to
the United States or elsewhere situated
and recommend to the consideration OF the
Congress such measures as he may Judge
necessary and expedient FOR the amellora-
tion OF political. legal economic or social
or moral conditions therein. or for the
general welfare OF mankind and during
the recess OF the Congress or In the event
OF the failure OF enabling action by the
Congress. he shall have power to employ
the Army and Navy Of the United States,
and any moneys In the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated. to enforce his
judgments concerning the domestic affairs
of such foreign countries and his plans
for the general welfare OF mankind"
This amendment will simplify mat
ters exceedingly. The trainers Of the
Constitution provided no such powers
for the Executive, but 1t must he re-
membered that they never contcm-
plated the possibility OF the extended
jurisdiction. Ours, however. is a Gov
eminent framed to expand With the
new needs of the times.
But until the Constitution is thus
amended. 90 slow, go slow!

The Balkans After the Second War

The Balkans AFTER the second War.
Had the recent Balkan struggle ended
with the defeat Of the Turks by the
allied Christian States it would have
missed its baleful prominence among
wars for reckless cruelty. All the worst
excuses marked the second episode, the
conflict between Bulgaria and all the
other combatants. This Is clearly shown
in the report Of the international com
mission Of the Carnegie Peace Endow-
ment in It's report on the conduct Of the
two wars.
The story Of the Turkish return to
Adrianople and the villages of eastern
Thrace reads like the imaginings Of a
demon gone insane. Fire. murder and
rapine swept over the fated region and
virtually cxterminated the Christian
ronu,n ton.

"HARDsCRARBLE" MUST GO

~ HERE is laudable ambition
among the city officials and the
i various auxiliary commissions
to complete the chief features
of the Harrisburg Improvement pro-
gram this year. There is also an in
creasing sentiment in favor of the
elimination of the built-up section on
the west side of Front street, between
Herr and Calder streets. This section
is owned by a number of persons, but
Il is believed that it can be acquired
within figure that will be iustitia BILE
at this time in view of the rapid de-
velopment of the River Front improve
ment.
'Hardscrahble," as this district is
locally known, comprises principally
frame dwellings and many of the own
ers, realizing the conditions and the
future. are quite willing to dispose
of their holdings at reasonable figures
These owners are entitled to fair con-
sideration, inasmuch as they comprise
as many puhlio-spirited citizens as any
other section of the same size in the
city. They are naturally ar~'o&S that
the question OF what shall be done
with this particular strip of property
shall be determined without further
delay. inasmuch as, under existing
circumstances, they cannot improve
their properties nor can they make
any plans whatever for the future.
For this reason it is obviously impor-
tant that it he determined now what
shall he done and clear the way for
the completion of the River Front
Improvement from one end Of The city
90 the other,
Some years have elapsed since this
great undertakings was started, and now
that It is progressing rapidly along
the several stretches it is reasonable to
expect that the city will do what
must certainly he done H. the future
and which ought to he done without
further delay,
This city has long since passed the
stage of hesitation in proper achieve
ment and the public spirit Of our peo-
pie is demonstrated on every occasion
when they are appealed to in the mat
ter of making Harrisburg the most
attractive city of the Commonwealth
as II should he as the seat Of the State
government,
In this connection il is pleasure
to note the ensrgetic activity Of the
several department heads They are
on the Job constantly and whatever
the occasional criticism OF political
acts, it is certain that the officials are
showing proper energy in pushing for
word the important undertakings of
sheir several departments

THE RAILROAD VOTE

~ IFFORD PINCHOT and Mitchell
Palmer have haited their hooks
~ for the railroad vote.
Pinchot, without a chance OF
election, hegs for support on the
ground that he stands for federal PEN
sions for railroad men and compen-
sation for them in case of accident.
Palmer says, don't vote for Pin
chot; he can't be elected. Vote for
me. | stand for the same legislation
he promises and III work for it if
am elected"
The truth is that Palmer and Pin
chot both know they are promisinS
Something neither can give. Such n
law as they propose would not be con-
stitutional unless ii included all work
men of all trades and piece of legis-
lation so comprehensive would bank

What the railroad men of this coun-
try want is plenty of work at good
wages. That is the crying need Just

cal legislation when the idle cars are

The Republican candidates stand for
fair play to the railroads - freight

When letters came In fast and thick.
Asking him to insist
That Congress ueslst
In aw-making that turned business
sick.
Then the dear public put UP howl,
And it's countenance took on scowl.
Their answer, Explain
why we shouldn't complain"
Caused a kink in the Presidents jowl.
So the President spoke up again,
And as usual, tried to explain
Form letters, he meant,
To him shouldn't be sent,
And from mailing them men should alb
stain,
But here's one question I'd like to ask
"If enough letters to fill a cask
Were to reach him to-day,
Saying, Woodrow. Hurrah"
Would he then take the public to task"

~ ASCAL HALL. the murderer exc
- cuted Wednesday, was only .
l. poor, superstitious North Caro-
lima negro. but just before he died
he said something worthy of thought
on the part of every one of us.
"The trouble with people nowadays
Is that they're too proud" he asserted
as he fatty refused to don the new
black suit provided for the execution.
Thus curtly he pointed out to the
officers who were leading him to his
death that he would be no worse no
better; that the fate he was to meet
would be no more, no less, severe;
that he would be no more. no less
dead after the drop fell whether

fashion or garbed in his old gray
shirt and impressed trousers.
