LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BOTH WRONG, HE SAYS
" of the TeIceydbh :

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Having read the open letter in your
evening paper on June Is and the re-
ply on the following day, wish to say
that both parties are greatly mistaken.
When and where did that minister
of the gospel find such a little heart
for Italy? Are they the fruits of his
life's work and his years of study? Has
he no better principle to go by?
There is no doubt that Austria
wronged Italy, and he ought to know
that an unrighteous deed brings it's
consequences. Does not Steelton need
many improvements? Why is he judg-
ing a land far off when there is much
work at his own door?
On the other hand. the statement that
Italy stands for the highest civiliza-
tion" is found on no base. Who gave
it the right to enter this conflict? There
was revenge and thought of gain only
and there is one thing Italy needs TO-
Those noted men of art; do they
make a nation? Have we not men even
greater in every land of the, globe?
like those existing in Italy to-day;
Then it says that Italy was clvlllzed
when the Germans were still savages.
from the Romans, but they, too, show
ed the latter the short way home
again? The mission of the Romans
was an evil one and was similar to that
of Spain and other countries. 1t sought
to conquer and loved the gold.
Why did they fall? What are the beau
tifui countries of Europe to-day with
all their fancy--and wrong Govern
stands for us and that we can stano
for America?
Therefore, whatever trouble or argu-
ment may arise, here and abroad, let
us be Americans. Let US not judge by
disadvantages. but let us show the
world a better way. It says: Let US
fiji the law of Christ" Let us not be
moved by international law and other
nonsense, nor by our own understand
ing, but know that when we trust in
AN Ex-GERMAN.

The law to which Mr.. Wilson is di-

Executive alike were. warned. solemnly
and repeatedly. of the suffocating re-

AGAINST GOVERNMENT SHIPS

[From the New York Pressl
No part of our people have a greater
interest in an American merchant ma
rine than the businessmen of the Unit
ed States, nor so great. Manufacturers
and merchants are now suffering severe
hardship and loss because of our lack
of shipping; but they have felt this lack
for years.
What the business interests of the
United States think of President VIII
sons plan for a merchant marine
owned and operated, either in part or
in whole, by the Government may be
judged by a canvass which has been
made of the Chambers of Commerce OF
the United States.
The vote on Government ownership
of merchant marine was only 50 in
favor of but sos against Government
ownership with private operation got
vote of 54 in favor of but I'll against.
But ships subsidies sufficient to offset
the difference in the cost of operation
of vessels under the American Flag as
compared with deep-sea ships under
foreign flags was approved by a vote OF
55S to 1856. For postal subventton the
vote was 71S in favor of to 4S against.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to put the
United States Government into the
shipping business; but from this vote of
the United States Chamber Of Com
merce 1t is evident that he cannot do
anything of the kind with tho approval
or assistance of the business interests
of the country.

GREATER MEAT SUPPLY
pittsburgh Dispatch. I

lIlltSpuTBH DlSpdJCn.
When Congress assemblies Repre-
sentative Kent, of California, intends
to press his bill for regulated leasing
OF the Government-owned range as a
practical step toward a solution of
the high cost of living problem. The
number of cattle and sheep on the
Western ranges has been decreasing
rapidly, nearly one-fourth in fve
years in II Western States. Reckless
misuse of the grazing lands has been
largely responsible, much of the
range having been overfed and re-
duced to almost desert conditions,
On the contrary. the range in the
forest reserves, where care has been
exercised in grazing. is supporting an
increased number of cattle EXpe-
rience has convinced even the cattle
men who bitterly opposed regulated
grazing that it was a short-sighted
and disastrous policy to exhaust the
range without thought for the fu-
ture. They are now, 1t is said, ready
to accept such a system of regulated
grazing on the 300,000,0 900 acres of
Government land If the Kent bill or
one of that sort is passed.
The destruction of cattle in the war
zones of Europe and the world scar
city for meat, leather and wool likely
TO result, holds out encouragement to
the American stock raiser. It is cal
culated that the Western ranges
properly regulated could support dou
BILE the stock now there and that
within a few years the production
could be increased from 25 to so per
cent.

THE SITUATION OF PALMER

TINE political future of A. Mitchell
! Palmer, who last November
achieved a distinction which
some one summed up in the expression,
the worst licked Democrat in the his
tory of the State" continues to be a
matter of interest to all Democrats.
and of anxiety to some.
We violate no confidence when we
declare that there was a general sigh
of relief in the ranks of the Unterrified
after President Wilson appointed Pal
mer to a vacancy on the Court of
Claims The position is a desirable
one and the appointment promised to
take the appointee out of politics for
the rest of his life. And that would be
a condition of affairs much to be de-
sired from their viewpoint in the case
of a man whose distribution of federal
patronage split the party wide open
and made a farce of the pious pro-
testations of party virtue upon which
the Reorganization rested.
But Palmer is ambitious. He also
has pretty good opinion of his own
talents. and while he has not refused
the rendered judicial appointment his
name by some mysterious influence is
mentioned with significant regularity
in connection with every promising
opening in the federal service. If Presi-
dent Wilson continues to ignore the
hint, why there is the judgship to fall
back upon. A regular pay day, even
when acceptance of it involves closing
the door of political hope, is much to
be preferred to the cherries status of
lame duck.
In the meantime the Democracy is
very much in doubt as to its internal
economy. The leaders cannot be in
ignorance of the fact that Palmer is
'in bad" with the rank and file, and It
is probable that they would be glad to
be rid of his dead weight. But on the
other hand. If he goes, If he takes a
job that will involve his resignation
from the national committee, which
position for many years has carried
with it titular leadership of the Penn
sylvania Democracy, it will be neces-
sdTy 10 cali the STATE commlttee TO-
gether. And it is evident that the
prospect of this call is associated in
their minds with thoughts of the wrath
to come.
And this explains why there has
been so little open resentment with the
cavalier course Palmer has been pur-
suing with respect to the appointment
which he has been holding under con-
sideration for so many weeks. Both
sides of the factional squabble are
anxious to avoid a showdown as long
as it is possible-the ins because they
are afraid and the outs because they
have been unable to get together on
program and candidate for the party
post Palmer now holds.

their trunks. say good-by before the
train pulls out, glance hurriedly at
our watches and rush back to our
offices begrudging the lost time"
The loafer in America exists, but he
is a rarity. Tho seven-day man. on
the other hand. is too much the rule
AN old man at forty" None of us
wants to be that. but all work and
no play will produce the result inev-
itably. Perhaps not at forty. exactly
but at all events much sooner than
need be. and of all pitiable objects the
man old before his time is the most
wretched.
But the signs of the times are hap
PLY pointing in the other direction.
The automobile. the golf club, the ten
mis- club and hundred other influ-
ences are tempting men to play and
physicians are forsaking medicine to
preach the gospel of good health
through recreation.
Employers are coming to under
stand that a half-holiday each week
is beneficial to their employees and that
they actually get better results from a
five and one-half day week than they
do from six days. The movement has
gone to such an extent in Harrisburg
that some of the big business houses
are understood to be considering d
movement for the closing of stores
on Saturday afternoon and evening, in
place of the present Friday half holi-
day. This would add an evening of
liberty each week to leisure time of
all employees.
OF course. it is understood that store
keepers cannot move more rapidly in
this direction than the public desires,
but as Harrisburg is rapidly becom-
ing a Saturday half holiday city, the
way is prepared for the move now
under consideration. If all the stores
Join in the movement none will lose
and the time of everybody will be con-
served.

Why Not Have a Garden?

soil, and planted a neat little garden.
Each evening they row out to it,
weed, water and cultivate it. And
later on they are going to row out
each evening to reap their harvest of
fresh vegetables. =
They wanted a garden and so they
found place to plant one. In the
slums of all the big cities vegetables
and flowers are grown on many roofs
and window sills. The poor who de-
sire things are satisfied with a simple
means of having them. So to them
soap box on a window sill or a bit
of filled-in land under the pier of a
bridge makes an acceptable field for
their agricultural experiments.
If you want a garden, plant one
now. A box in your Office or bed
room window can be filed with mar
guerites and geraniums, pansies or
migonette. A jar on the kitchen
window sill can be turned into a lit
tie farm to produce chives, parsley,
and mint to give enviable flavor to
roaStS and soup.
