FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8
"NIADE IN THE U. S. A.

~ PEAKER CHAMP CLARK is a
strong believer IN the made in
~ the U. S. A" label. FIe urges all
manufacturers to use it and
/ every consumer to inquire of his
dealer whether or not the article for
which he inquiries is produced in this
: country. Wherever it Is possible Mr..
Clark would have the prospective
purchaser reject the foreign-made for
the home manufactured article.
Nobody will quarrel with the
Speaker with regard to that. Most of
us arc remiss iii this respect and it is
well that men whose uttera7ces re-
ceive national attention should ecca-
sionally remind us that the duty of
every American is to patronize home
industries But there is a significance
in the Honorable Champs remarks
which it is just possible he himself
did not see. Says he:
1t must never be forgotten that
the consumption, Of products
Made in the U. ). A. gives en-
ployment to mon and women who
live in America, and to give em-
ployment to all men and women
i'll America VINO want employment
at n fair wage is becoming more
pressing problem every DAY.
Does the Speaker realize that he is
uttering rank heresy to the doctrines
of Democracy? Does he not see that
he is arguing i'll no uncertain terms
for the re-enactment of a protective
tariff such as he and his colleagues
legisIated nut of existence when they
passed tho Underwood bill? Just now
the effects Of that disastrous piece of
legislation are not being directly felt,
due to the war in Europe, but the
fact remains that when peace shall
have been declared the greatest
MADE in the U. s. A." movement
that can be launched will be the re-
turn to protection that will follow the
1915 elections.

WANT NEW HIGH SCHOOL

IN a recent issue of the Central High
School Argus, the official student
publication of the institution, is q
stirring plea for new high schoo
on the editorial page of the paper
The summing of the situation by the
editor is we'll worth while
reading by every taxpayer. He says:
Two high schools stand within
the borders of the city of Harris
burg. The children of equal citi-
zens and taxpayers attend both in
stitutions. Mr.. a, who has, a daugh-
ter in Central High School, pays as
much tax as MIR. 3. who sends his
son to Tech. But does Mr.. A de-
rive as much value for his money
Take snapshot of each build
ing. Here, surrounded by brew
cry and a saloon. we see a dilapi-
partly-condemned barn which
answers for the housing of almost
a thousand pupils. On the other
hand, looming up in splendor di-
rk-to-be. we view structure
superfine, up-to-date. and extrava-
giant. Within it's walls three hun
dred pupils enjoy the delights of
free ostentation through the spact-
Gus halls and decorations which
Louis XIV would have found pleas
ure in. Does the one balance the
other?
Picture the streets of our city at
s a. m. Why are these girls, laden
with schoolbooks, trudging through
the snow and sleet at this unearth-
ly hour of the morning? Why? In
the dusk of a winter twilight gaze
upon them as they "homeWard
plod their weary way. See them
packed into unsanitary rooms as
tightly almost as-yes, we'll use the
simile-sardines in bcX-each one
able to breathe in as much foul
carbon -dioxidized air as the other
ones do not need? Is 1t fair?
In q subsequent issue is found an
other editorial on the same subject
which is as follows:
We need a new High School! We
want new High school; we must
only a matter of time until we do
have one.
1t is absolutely necessary to
have, one soon. Not only are the
pupils working under handicaps,
but also the teachers.
We need a library, a gymnasium,
classes in domestic science, in do
mestio art, in boys carpentering
work We need n social center,
where we can enjoy the amuse- o
ments of the day under proper
supervision.
In short, we want a new High
School!
The Telegraph can't but sympathizt
with the Central students. They are
certainly not without logic in their de
mands. This matter Of providing 6
new high school should not be de
layed a moment longer than necessary

An Advertisement
That Failed

In New York City millions use
the street cars and a large pro-
portion ride on transfers.
Some one once conceived the
idea OF printing a daily adver-
tisement on each transfer.
The privilege was sold to a
large advertiser ror a great sum
of money.
1t was one of the biggest ad-
vertising failures ever recorded.
The returns from the advertis-
ing were almost nothing.
The store finds by spending
the same amount of money in the
newspapers it can increase its
business from year to year at a
most satisfactory ratio.

Harringtons S Position on
Salary of County At
tOrney.


In order that the people Of Chick
asaw County may know my pro-
position as to the salary Of county
attorney, / wish to say that if I am
elected county attorney, that | will
act as attorney, that I viii act as
attorney for the Board Of Super
visors. and perform the other duties
of the Office, at the same salary the
Office is now paying, which is 500
per month. However the members
Of the board are personally respon-
sible fo5 any money they may pay
out without authority Of law, and
liable for criminal prosecution
therefor. See Sec. 344. Code 1906.
And they have a right and the law
authorizes them either to employ
the county attorney, or any other
lawyer in whom they may have
confidence. See Code 1905, Sec.
312. and Acts of Legislature 1912,
page S2l. If am elected | shall
be glad to act as attorney for the
Board. if they want me But if
they do not desire my service and
if there is some other, lawyer in
whose ability and integrity they
may have more confidence, or if
for any other reason they desire to
employ some other lawyer to ad-
wise the Board, then l shall be glad
to perform the other duties Of the
Office Of county attorney at $500
per month, which in my judgment
is sufficient compensation for the
time required for such duties, and
I will not accept any more than
that amount The Board under the
law can only pay $500 per month
for their attorney, which would
make the expense of county at
torney and attorney for the Board
$4,000 the amount the Office of
county attorney alone is now pay
ing. shall in no way undertake
to force the board to employ or
HIRE me to represent them, but
shall expect them to employ what
ever lawyer they may desire. and
select the man in whose ability
and integrity they may have the
most confidence, and which ever
way the board may act in the mat
ter the county will only be out
$4,000 per month in attorneys
salaries. With regard TO the posi-
ton Of any other candidate, or
candidates that may run against
me for the Office. on this proposition
/ have absolutely nothing to say.
/ have no mud" to sling at anyone.
am making the race strictly on my
own merits as a man, aud ability as
a lawyer, and not on the demerits
or mistakes Of anyone. If | can't
win along these lines | don't want
the office. If am elected I shall
always stand for what | think is
right and just, regardless of the
consequences. / shall do all in my
power to mete out even handed
Justice to all alike, whether he be
prince or pauper, RICH or poor, weak
or powerful. The greatest and the
most humble with me shall stand
equal before the law.

So boys let's keep it clean.
Let's live each day we're here boys,

And have an influence here for good
While passing in review

Our names we'll surely hear;
Well proudly raise onr flag again,
And march without a fear

INLAND WATERWAYS

The part played By inland water
ways ia the commercial and indus
trial development Of a country can
hardly be over-estimated Strangely
enough, bat a comparatively small
portion Of the freight and passenger
traffic OF the country is carried upon
those waterways, and yet it is declar-
ed that if it were not for their exist
ence, imperfectly as the traffic has
been developed, that freight rates
would he at least IG per cent higher
than they are That they DO play ar
important part in the economic his
tory Of nations is shown by the fact
that from the earliest times govern
ments haye not hesitated 10 spend
enormous Sums of money building and
developing artificial waterways The
importance therefore, Of the early
completion OF the deep waterway pro-
ject in the Illinois river will appeal to
every one. 1t is to be hoped that at the
hearing which takes place in Chicago
this week, that all objections on the
part OF the government to at once be-
gin working on this project will be

ECONOMY IN WAR

the daily cost Of the war has now
reached $210o9,000. more than double
what it was less than year ago
The experience Of Great Britain
must necessarily be that Of the other
powers engaged War has ever been
deemed one Of the costliest expedients
governments have resorted to. and the
present conflict immensely outclasses
all its predecessors in this respect.
The question arises, in what condi-
lion will these nations be left, con
querors and conquered, when the strife
has gone on till one side is victorious.
1t is the biggest problem, considered
from the standpoint of finance alone,
that the world has ever seen. Il
threatens not only TO change the map
Of Europe, but TO leave the people who
survive wounds and death obligated
with burden that will be grievous if
not impossible to be borne for genera
tions TO come Wars ended by the
yalor Of arms have been matters of
history, but wars ended through an
exhaustion Of resources among the
belligerents present a different phase
