! A LII who have read the summary
n of the important public work of
4 = the several departments of the
municipal government this year,
as presented in the Telegraph yester-
day, must be impressed with the sub
stantial progress of Harrisburg. Only
this week a prominent Oklahoma
visitor expressed his astonishment
over the comprehensive character of
the improvement program of this city.
When he learned that so much had
been accomplished in so short time
! he was enthusiastic in praise of the
public spirit of our citizens.
This testimony is simply repeti-
ton of frequent comment upon the
advance of the city. All visitors speak
in the same way, and while there has
been letting down of the civic mo-
mentum of recent years, there is still
sufficient pride in the citys achieve
ments to encourage municipal officials
and citizens generally who want to
maintain the splendid reputation of
| Harrisburg throughout the country.
1t is expected that at the next meet
| ing of the Chamber of Commerce
resolution will be introduced provid-
ing for the initial steps for the big
Fourth of July celebration of next
year. This demonstration will take
the form of festival in celebration of
the completion of the more impor-
tant improvement projects of the last
twelve years. 1t is understood that
the program will embrace a river car
nival, band concerts, fireworks. a his
torical pageant and other interesting
features.
There is also talk at this time of
the organization of a River Improve
ment Association with the purpose of
encouraging boat clubs and the more
general use of the river as a popular
resort This association will also have
as one of its main objects the clearing
of the river channel and the removal
of all Instructions so that aquatic
sports may be promoted for the bene-
fit of the people.
Harrisburg is at last awake to the
value of the river and its possibilities
to a growing city.

pose of the society is to promote thrift

and the encouragement of thrift so

society summarizes the job for thu
thrift committees:

6. Encourage home gardens by
prizes and contests, not alone for
flowers and beauty, but best re-
suits in growing fresh vegetables
for their tables
Z. Encourage canning of fruits
and vegetables by having it sys-
tematically taught to the girls in
the schools. This has been found
the surest way to give the house
wives new ideas and better stand
ards.
s. Encourage buying of homes
and the means therefor.

HRESIDENT WILSON will have
the heartfelt sympathy of all the
= people in the critical illness of
Mrs. Wilson, whose life hangs
upon a slender thread. All questions
OF an official character and all differ
ences OF opinion regarding the atti-
tude of the administration on national
problems fade from the public mind
in the face Of the great personal sor-
row which is now burdening the Presi-
dents heart.
Mrs. Wilson has been a helpmate in
all the years of the Presidents edu-
cational and official career and the
fact that she has been seriously i'll for
the public arouses in an even greater
degree the sympathy of the people for
the head of the nation.
Out OF the midst OF his trouble he
has rendered to the warning nations of
Europe the good offices of the United
States in the hope of bringing about a
peaceful settlement of the unfortunate
controversies which have led to the
frightful arbitrament of arms While
peace seems far away at the present
moment, the very enormity of the
conflict and its widespread character
must force to a conclusion very soon
the tragedy that is now shocking the
world.
Since this nation is at peace with
all other nations the channels of
American influence are ever widening.
but as the tension is great even a
slight mistake of diplomacy or a seri-
Gus error of judgment might involve

tender of mediation is an earnest to
all the warning Powers of the good
intentions of this Republic and must

WAR AND FOOD PRICES

7 HARRISBURG is already begin
r. ming to pay the price of war in
= = Europe, we are given to under
stand. Prices of certain COM
modities imported from the war zone
have gone up and others are to follow,
dealers announce.
1t is difficult, indeed, to see why
there should be any advance in prices
just now. The importer who seizes
war news as an excuse for boosting the
price of goods in stock purchased by
him at peace prices is taking an unfair
and unjustifiable advantage of his Gus
toner. To be sure, when once the
present stocks are exhausted and re-
plenished only under difficulty and at
the risk of confiscation on the high
seas, 1t is natural that abnormaIly
high prices should be asked for inn
ported cheese, beers, wines, etc, but
there can be no reasonable excuse for
increase in the cost of foodstuffs of
our own production.
Provisions of all kinds are contra
band of war. We cannot ship our
surplus abroad now without risk of
losing 1t. The consequence will be
that we will have more than the ordi-
nary supply of food at home. This. by
the law of supply aud demand, ought
10 bring prices down instead of boost
ing them.
When peace has been restored il is
not unlikely that Europe will demand
immense quantities of provisions from
us. Then we may expect our grocery
bills to go up. But not now.

REDMOND SPEAKS FOR IRELAND
New York Sun.I

John Redmond showed high quail
ties both of leadership and manhood
when he told the House of Commons
that the British government might
with safety withdraw every soldier
from ireland, that the Irish coasts
would be defended by her own armed
sons, the Catholics of the south and
the Protestants of Ulster. OF course
he meant Catholics and Protestants
in all parts of the island; the form of
his pledge was merely rhetorical.
That he truthfully expressed the
attitude of the Irish people as a whole
nobody will be inclined to question. II
is not necessary to assume any over
weening devotion to the English flag
and 1t would be grossly unfair to drag
in the supposed Irish combativeness
by way of explanation. 1t is the broad
spirit of loyalty. of fair play. of good
faith between man and man that ami
mates Mr.. Redmond and his following.
