NEW YORK-Five strange, black
IN looking craft, with fishy bodies,
are moored to a float at One
Hundred and Thirty-fifth street and
the Hudson river. By their side is a
vessel that looks like cross be-
tween a battleship and pigsty. These
are submarines and the pigsty battle
ship is the submarine fender. And
since one of these machines of war
sent the Lusitania to the bottom of
the sea they are attracting more at
tention than the siXty-odd battleships
that are lined up for review. These
five little things are hideous, grew
some, ugly as sin and as leaden as
black death. They have just made a
record trip from Key West, coming

to one of the officers of these cigar

unpleasant inside as outside. Every

TX-PR RESIDENT TAFT last week
t. advised Republicans that they
receive the Progressives back
into the party fold on condition that
they leave behind them their fads,
their nostrums and their isms.'
Laying aside the thought that most
of the Progressives in PENNSYLVANIA
are already back in the Republican
party fold on those grounds, Mr.. Taft
must recognize that the wave OF 'fads
and nostrums and isms" has spent its
force. 1t reached its crest in 1912 and
has been steadily receding. Abuses of
power. corruption in high places and
the dissatisfaction that followed were
responsible for the unrest which the
Progressive leaders seized upon 10
make their campaign. They came be-
fore the public at time when the
public was ripe for the unusual. Legis-
lation that ought to have been enacted
years before had been shelved. The
dissatisfied element OF both old parties
were ready to accept anything that
looked like a remedy. The "fads and
the nostrums and the isms" came to
them as some new-fangled medical
theory to the man who has tried the
old standard remedies in vain. The
result was Wilson and the train of
State and national legislative expert
ments that followed.
The fads and the nostrums and
the isms" have failed, as the adver-
tised cures OF quacks usually do, and
the public has come into the belief
that the safe. sane and sensible type of
statesman. as exemplified in Mr.. Taft.
for instance, is after all the best
leader in matters of legislation and
government. The great mass of voters
are still progressive, but sanely so.
They will never go back to the old
days of accepting anything that po-
ltical leaders choose to give them.
They have reached a full understand
ing Of their power. and wise political
leaders have come to a similar under
standing. The people have but to
speak and they will get what they
want, and what they want more than
anything else just now is that capital
and labor. businessmen and working
men shall alike have a square deal be-
fore the law.
The Republican party in Pennsyiva-
mia is in position to go before the
voters next year with a platform upon
which all Progressives and progressive
Republicans and Democrats, too, can
stand.

FIFTY

To-day marks the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the grand review of troops at
Washington, d. c.. May "a. 1865, when
soldiers of the Union Army were re-
turning from years of hard service on
southern battlefields after the Civil
War. The article and illustration here
with are taken from "Elson's New
History of the Civil War" issued by
the Telegraph some time ago. and the
cut was made from one of the famous
Brady Civil War photographs. The
following account OF the review is
given:
"one of the proudest days of the
nation-May "a, 1S65-here lives
again. The true greatness of the
American people was not displayed till
the close of the war. The citizen from
the walks of humble life had during
the contest become a veteran soldier,
equal in courage and fighting capacity
to the best drilled infantry of Marl-
borough, Frederick the Great, or Ma
poleon. But it remained to be seen
whether he would return peacefully to
the occupations of peace. European
nations made dark predictions. Would
nearly a million men,, they asked, one
of the mightiest military organizations
ever trained in war, quietly lay aside
this resistless power and disappear into
the unnoted walks of civil life?' Eu-

one of her lessons will not be likely
to miss the remainder.
Men attend Chamber OF Commerce

indirectly applying to their own bust

must or they would not continue to do

Now comes from foreign shores the
uncomfortable statement that dishonest
American manufacturers are endanger-
ing the value Of the phrase Made in
L. S. A." by cheating foreign govern
ments on war contracts. Such things
as boots and socks have been sold by
sample, and then made up in very in
ferior quality. The foreign Govern
Tnents are helpless. of course. because
they have paid cash in advance. All
they can do is to refrain from placing
other orders with the offending firms.
This is outrageous in view OF the splen-
did efforts now making for the expan-
sion of American trade.
