Takes High Ground.
From the Pittsburgh Gazetts-Times.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Tmes.
The soul Of the American rejoinder to
Germany Is in the main paragraph dis
cussing the Lusitania affair. Here the
United States government takes high
ground and ventures strong talk.
Sweeping aside as inconsequential "spe
cial circumstances of detail' which Ger
many has advanced, the President-for
it's his voice and pen-says the sinking
of passenger ships involves principles
of humanity" which lift the Lusitania
case "out of the class of ordinary sub
jects of diplomatic discussion or of in
ternational controversy There is no
such broad declaration on the use of
submarines as was contained in the
first note. Here there is a chance for
Germany to relieve the situation with
out loss Of prestige or dignity.

From the PITTSBURGH Dfspatch.-
The reply to Germany is conceived in
the same spirit of service to humanity
and couched in the same tone of pa
thence and firmness that marked the
Presidents note of last month.
Contrary to expectation, following
Mr.. Bryan's action, 1t strikes no new
note. In fact, it is difficult to under
stand why the former Secretary of
State. having approved the earlier note,
should have baked at this one. 1t is no
more conclusive than was the other. 1t

Two messages go out this morning to

American rights, for the protection of

Bellies Bryan's Utterance.
From the Boston Herald.


The millions of Americans who will
carefully read this morning the second
note of President Wilson to Germany
will look in vain for the bellicose tone
or the threat of severing relations
which the sensational resignation of
Secretary Bryan has led them to think
the note would contain. The note re-
peats with dignif1ed and unmistakable
emphasis what was said in the first
note, but it certainly does not go far
enough heyond that to warrant any
feelings that this country is hurrying
into war with Germany
President Wilson is right. as he was
in the first. The country will stand be-
hind him, and the fantastic attempt of
Mr.. BRYAN to cloud the issue and to di-
vide the allegiance of those who should
give the nations head their loyal sup
port in this crisis will have small ef-

Not Wartime in Tone.

calm, carefully worded reiteration of

citizens.
Careful study Of the note in its word,
in its entirety and in its spirit and
tone causes one to wonder what Mr..
Bryan found In 1t SO repugnant to his
peace-loving soul as to lead him to
withhold his signature at the cost of
his retirement to private life.

The American people will approve the
note. It's tone 10 friendly, its statement
Of facts convincing and its meaning
unmistak kable. It leaves no doubt that
our government stands squarely on its
note following the Lusitania disaster.
1t means that the German government
must agree to make reparation for loss
of American lives on the Lusitania and
American ships will be safeguarded in

law can do 1t.

Consistent With First Note.

From the Buffalo Courier.
The much needlessly advertised note
of President Wilson to the German
government puts Emperor William and
former Secretary Bryan in the same
hole. If there Is anything surprising
in connection with this note 1t is Mr.
Bryan's refusal to sign 1t after he had
signed the note OF May 13. The second
note has not one word or declaration

Bryan's Amazing Attitude.

From tho Lincoln NebD state Journal.
It is q plain spoken note, but nowhere
Is It brusque or impatient. Nowhere
does 1t close the door to an amicable

United States does not intend to be
trified with and that another sacrifice
Of American life will be considered an
act OF premeditated hostility. One can
not read both notes without a feeling
of amazement that Mr. Bryan could
sign the first and refuse to attach his
name to the second.

THE HEADACHE OF
NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

A feeling as of tight band about
the head is often felt in addition to the
pain of a headache that is caused by
nervous exhaustion. The ache is gen.
orally in the back of the head, rarely
in the forehead, and is often accom-
panied by dizziness.
The way to stop this sort of head
ache is to stop the cause of it. Over
work, worry and failure of the blood
to properly nourish the nerves are the
most common causes. Rest and a tonic
for the blood and nerves will cause
the headache to disappear in most
cases.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an effec-
tive tonic for building up the blood
and strengthening the nerves. They
furnish Just the elements that the
blood needs to build up the nerves
shattered by overwork, worry, over
study or excesses. You cannot always
rest from school, office or housework
when circumstances require but you
can always take. a tonic that will
maintain the strength of blood and
nerves DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
lust the tonic required.

TIFTY years, ago this morning the

token of mourning for the death
of Abraham Lincoln. To-day it is at

coin, the patriot, the emancipator and
the martyr. In these two sentences
lies a lesson that needs no explana-
ton.
God moves in a mysterious way,
his wonders to perform" and it may
have been all for the best that Lincoln
was taken to his eternal reward at the
very zenith of his remarkable career.
Who shall say that his task was not
accomplished with the preservation of
the nation? reconstruction? That,
perhaps, was destined for other hands.
At all events it was accomplished with
out the shadow of criticism falling up
on the greatness of the war time Pres
ident.
Lincoln died in his prime that he
might live forever in the hearts OF
his countrymen. He stands out hero
ically. an example for all time of the
highest type of American manhood
in a manner that might not have been
had he lived through the trying period
of factional pickering and personal
animosity that Immediately followed
the close of the war.

death, where is thy sting; oh, grave,
where is thy victory"

~ OoD government thrives on criti-
cism. Adverse or favorable, it
~ matters not, just so it is fair and
honest. Criticism that goes be-
yond those limits ceases to be criti-
cism and becomes libel
Take, for instance, the river coal
wharf controversy. City councilmen
when they entered into the island
lease were accused of falsehood, trick
cry and corporation favoritism. Their
motives were assailed and their eX-
plantations pronounced falsehoods.
The Market street coal wharf will
never be removed; councilmen never
meant to abolish it," we were told
And then followed a TRADE that must
have made readers in towns elsewhere
believe that Harrisburg is governed
by band OF thieves and grafters.
Yet to-day we are assured that the
wharf is to go and a nuisance of
years standing is to be abated.
Do the critics apologize to the coun-
cilmen and the public? Not they.
They are too busy raking the muck for
fresh material for scandal Honesty
and fair play mean nothing to them.
There's no quieting THEM, but
don't YOU get into the habit. Don't
throw mud at your own house. Crti-
else when occasion demands, but do
It constr ctively. No reform ever
was accomplished by untruthfully
calling man hard names.
Every false report circulated is a
blackeye for Harrisburg. A bull in a
rhina shop can smash in a moments :
time the priceless porcelains that
skilled workers labored months TO
produce. 1t is easier far to knock
down house than to build one. Any
woodchopper can fell a tree, but it re-
quires the infinite wisdom of God to
grow one.
So with a city's good name-and so
with the character of a man. Both
are precious; both are of delicate tex
ture.
Don't be one of those who go about
running one and besmirching the
other.
Be a builder not a member of the
wrecking corps.

4 SMILE went around the politi-
N cal circle a day or two ago when
4 = the report came out of Pitts
burgh that the Washington
party leaders are ready to dissolve
their organization and place them
selves behind Governor Brumbaugh
and his policies. Somebody comment
ing humorously on this, remarked that
there is little except leaders left of the
Washington party, and somewhat dis
credited leaders, at that.
The observation is correct. The
Washington party is as nearly dead as
any political body can get and still live
1t is a walking skeleton.
But for all that the offer of its lead
ers is not a matter to excite merri-
ment. The biggest asset the Progress
sive movement in Pennsylvania ever
had was the spirit that gave it birth.
Progressivism in Pennsylvania was
born of the unrest of a great body of
Republican voters who rose in revolt
against a leadership that proposed to
give them something they did not
want, or to withhold something they
did want, which in this instance
amounts to the same thing.
For a period it was the greatest
political force in the Commonwealth.
Bad leadership is responsible for its
present pitiable state. It's members
promptly deserted it for the same rea-
son that they at first left the Repub-
lican party; because it's organization
was not responsive to their demands.
Ambitious leaders placed their own
selfish interests before those of the
party and promptly found themselves
generals without an army to COM
mand.
But though the Washington party
is fast passing the spirit that gave to it
the breath of vigorous life at the out
start is still very much alive
There is a lesson in this that Re-
publican leaders must heed if they
would avert a repetition of the disas-
ter of 1912
They arc right in concluding that the
1914 victory points toward a Republf-
can landslide in 1916. All the signs
lie in that direction. But let none
mistake the temper of the people OF
Pennsylvania. A reactionary leader

file of what they want, denial of
their demands and4the fat again
would be in the fire.
The people to the extent of a vast
majority believe in the principles of
the great Republican party and Penn
sylvania is normally an overwhelming
ly Republican State, but tho voters
have demonstrated very effectively
that they will not hesitate to repu-
diate leadership of which they do not
approve, even at the expense of party
prestige.
Let the wanderers return, and the
Republican leaders should see to it
that the way is made easy for them.
There ought not to be left the least
excuse for a third party in Pennsyl-
vania next year. This dissolving of
the Washington party is no laughing
matter.

ANT 1T GREATs
by Wing DInger

This kind of weather makes me feel
AS though 1 must get out
Into the country, many miles.
And raise a gladsome shout
That 1 live in this peaceful land,
Where danger does not Turk
In bullets, bombs, ct cetera,
But can't. 1 must work.
I've got to stick close to the job
From early until late,
And talk about the weather in
Such strains as "Ain't it great?'
And don't mind confiding that
It's hard to plug away
And overcome the fever on
Such nice days as toe day.

CHURCH PUBLICITY

isfactory results is shown by the fact
that they have decided to continue it.
But it is not alone in Harrisburg
that church publicity is recognized as
an important factor in bringing men
and women into the church. The move
ment is growing the country over. Ad-
dressing the Baltimore, Md, Ad Club
at luncheon recently the Rev. Dr. NJ.
H. Lichliter, Methodist minister of
Baltimore, said:
The very suggestion of advertis-
ing q church would have given a
preacher of the last generation

there are not a few men who hold
with unquestioning sincerity the
conviction that il the Simple
gospel" be preached people will
flock to the church. What are the
facts? Put two men of equal ability
side by side in an average city, let
one cling to the traditional ideals
and the other use modern methods
of efficiency and publicity. and the
results within a single year ought
to convert the most conservative
layman TO the undeniable fact that
1t pays TO advertise.
There can be no questioning that.
any more than that n well advertised
article of commerce will find mar
ket where an equally meritorious but
unknown article will remain unsold
