WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

TN making excuses for the failure of
the Democratic tariff bill, both as a
revenue producer and as measure
of relief from the high cost of liV-
ing," the Democratic press should not
as it does, place the blame on any
thing anywhere under the sun but the
right place. The attitude at Washing
ton is reflected throughout the country
by the constant criticism of our busi-
nessmen and manufacturers for alleged
loose methods, extravagant manage
ment and a general lack of ability.
1t is as clear as the MONDAY sun
that without u sufficient tariff we must
allow competing countries to fix prices.
No one denies this. 1t is admitted by
all. But when it comes to the other
self-evident fact, that price auto
matically regulates the pay of the
wage-earner in any given branch, the
Juggling begins and notable exceptions
to this rule of price and compensation
arc cited.
Dragging that an American work
man by some sleight-of-hand methods
does or should produce two or three
times the results of the best foreign
workman does not make this true.
High-sounding phrases of efficiency,
education, ETC., are given with total
disregard of cold facts backed by
figures.
All these things are on a par with
H.,
blandly asserts that "a good American
soldier can lick half dozen for
eigners." He can't, and that's all
there is to it. We Americans may be
able to work a little faster or better.
We may be able TO fight little longer
or little moro effectively. At least
we all want to believe we can, but
that we are creatures especially en-
dowed with Divine ability no person
who stops to think believes.
That we are as a whole, a people
imbued with different ideals, with
standards of living at wide variance
from the accepted custom of dull drah
existence in many countries, is equally
true, but who wants to exchange places
or change our manners and methods
to those of other countries? Do we
want the other fellow to fix the price
and conditions? We cannot accept
the one without the other.
The last forty or fifty years in the
United States have been failures and
we have been going to the bowwows
"as fast as legs could carry u.s." ac-
cording to the Democratic party's reg
ular viewing with alarm" and "trem.
bling with fear pronouncements.
The people may not always know
what they want, but they usually dc
know. and. what's more, they usually
set what they want. and we venture
the guess that few. yes. more than a
few. would be satisfied to have bach

RoBERsoN's TRAvELoGUEs

MYTH a view to presenting for the
w enjoyment and instruction of
the people of Harrisburg an un-
usual series of travelogues, the
Telegraph has been successful in con-
cluding an arrangement with Frank r.
Robertson, the famous globe trotter, for
an unusual engagement in this city,
beginning next Thursday.
Chestnut Street Hall has been Sc
cured as the best place to present the
views and it is hoped this auditorium
will be large enough to accommodate
the thousands who will doubtless want
to take advantage of the arrangement
which has been made with Mr.. Rober-
son by this newspaper. The Tele-
graph is simply acting for and in the
interest of its army of readers and
without any interest in the receipts.
1t is simply concerned in obtaining for
all classes of our people the remark
able series of entertainments at the
minimum of cost, this newspaper
contributing it's services absolutely
free of charge that the admission fee
may be as small as possible.
1t should be understood, of course,
that the use of the coupon from the
Telegraph will secure a comfortable
seat for ten cents; but the coupon is
not necessary in purchasing reserved
seat for twenty-five cents. We want
to make this matter very clear that
there may be no misunderstanding at
any time during this remarkable series
of travelogues. Mr.. Robertson is easily
the leader in his line of entertain
ment and the Telegraph is happy to
cooperate with him in presenting the
course for the benefit of Harrisburg
and vicinity.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
THERE is not a candidate on tn
Republican ticket in Dauphil

T<HERE is not a candidate on the
Republican ticket in Dauphin
county this Fall who is not a
clean man, an honest man, a man
capable of filing the office to which he
aspires to the full satisfaction of the
taxpayers.
There is not man on the ticket
who has been made a target for the
mud-slinging defenders of Democracy
in this county. for the simple reason
that every one of them is above re-
proach.
They were nominated at an open
primary in which the people registered
their choice Enthusiastically.
There is every reason, therefore,
why Republicans should vote for the
whole ticket and none why they should
stray from the party column.
Nothing would please the Democrats
of Dauphin county better than a
division in the Republican ranks at
this time. They would see it as an
argument in next years presidential
campaign. Furthermore, the Demo-
cratic ticket is hopelessly beaten this
time if Republicans vote solidly for
their candidates, for the Republican
registration and enrolment show a
sreater number OF Republicans in city
End county than all other voters COM
bined, including those who have not
enrolled.

PENNsYLvANIA,s PLACE

nR. NATHAN C. SCHAEFFER, the
- distinguished State Superintend-
ent of Schools, has made a strong
plea for the teaching of Pennsylvania
history. In an address at Reading he
vigorously discussed the history of this
commonwealth and pointed out the
importance of impressing upon the
young how large a place PENNSYLVANIA
has had in the development of the
republic. He dwelt upon the re-
sources of the State, her contributions
to art and education and very properly
pointed out that all the histories of the
United States have been written by
New Englanders, and therefore have
had the New England touch.
DR.. Schaeffer observed that Penn
sylvania had been too busy making
history to write it, but that the time
has now come for her sons to follow
the rest of the States and sing her
praises. He appealed for an awaken
ing of civic pride and instead of ap-
plauding such phrase as "Pennsyl-
vania corrupt and contented" as ap-
piled to Philadelphia, he urged the
teachers to show displeasure and dis
approval.
The able Superintendent of Public
instruction is the very person to raise
the standard of Pennsylvania on high
and call the attention of the
army of school teachers and
educators of this great State to
the lamentable attitude of too many
citizens who sit supinely while the his
torians and orators and writer's OF
other less important commemorative
continue their inexcusable references
to Pennsylvania, the keystone of the
arch of American liberty.
Governor Brumbaugh is doing his
part in broad way to arouse the
citizenry of the State to higher ap-
probation of what Pennsylvania has
done and is doing along the legitimate
lines of human endeavor in art, and
science. and literature and in all the
practical things which make for the
welfare of her millions of people.

TELEORAPH'S PERlScOPE

Now is the time at hand when the
mighty Nimrod tells how "he winged
it, but it got away"
Legal Atrocities" seem to be the
German fashion nowadays instead of
that military necessity, "frightfull-
ness" Well we know of nothing which
will help to lick the Germans so much
as the shooting of a few defenseless
women.
Will some one explain why the
ladies prefer stories about Mrs. Galt's
wedding gown to those rafting good
yarns about the big four elevens?
Many women who boast that they
married the men of their choice really
married the men of their chance.
Here's hoping none of our boys turn
out to be the male assistant to a fe-
male dancing teacher.

n TEXT year a new land will be rep
M resented on the map. The in
\ trepid Stefansson has just re-
ported it's location, and has set out
to spend another year exploring 1t.
Bradley Land, as it is called, is two
degrees farther north than Crocker
Land, discovered by Peary, which now
figures on maps as the northernmost
point.
DIR. Cook reported the existence of
such a land mass, but this statement,
like most of the others he made, was
discredited at the time. Though no
man of science has yet commented
upon the fact, it would seem that this
part of DR.. Cooks report has now been
confirmed.
Stefansson went in quest of reliable
information as to what lies between
Alaska and Spitzborgen. He also COM
pleted the charting of the northeast
coast of Prince Patrick Island, fifty
miles long, which was practically un-
explored.
! 1t is less than ten years since Peary,
standing upon a mountain peak in
Grantland, first sighted through his
glass "the faint white summit of a
distant land" He called 1t Crocker
Land
Knud Rasmussen, Danish eXplor-
er, afterwards claimed that Crocker
Land was not an island, as Peary
thought, but the corner of large
mainland, the extent of which is yet
unknown. An expedition in quest of
further information about Crocker
Land was sent out, after the Stefans-
son expedition, under the joint au-
spices of the National Geographic So
ciety and the American Museum of
Natural History.

Forestry is now one of the most i'm
portant subjects demanding the atten-
ton of our conservationists. Pennsyl-
vania has been making some headway
in this direction and we can think of
nothing more important, next to the
conservation of the health of the peo-
pie. than the encouragement of re-
forestation and the planting of trees
along the highways and wherever
one can be properly planted. Our
rural school teachers especially ought
to urge the planting of trees at this
time. Only the other day a public
speaker stated that he knew of man
who had burned up eighty acres of
trees to get land to raise wheat!

sounding its praises far and wide.
Governor Brumbaugh's splendid ad-
dress at the San Francisco Exposition
is keynote and everywhere school
teachers and public speakers,
writer's and preachers. and all who
have to do with the education of the
youth should join in a widespread
movement to place Pennsylvania in
it's proper position before the country
and the world. Let the little men be
forced to the rear; they have had their
day in this State and no longer should
they be given hearing among intelli-
gent people.
