WHERE HONOR BELONGS
$. E. Kiser.

TINE honor of initiating and car
/ rying to completion the vast
public improvement campaign
which is to be the subject of the muni-
cipal celebration now being planned
belongs to no one man. Rather it was
the work of vast number of citizens,
many of them laboring very effective
ly far beyond the bright rays of official
limelight, but very enthusiastically and
effectively nevertheless. In placing
credit where credit is due the rank
and file of the people who voted the
loans and bore the burden of taxation
uncomplaining1y and with a firm be-
lief in the future of the city must not
be forgotten. The filter plant, the
parks, the flood prevention and sewer
measures, the Fairgrounds, the paved
streets and all of the other changes
wrought to make Harrisburg a better
place in which to live must be charged
up in the last analysis to the people
themselves, however much their ac-
tiyties may have been led and direct
ed by those in authority or in position
to assist with advice and suggestion.
Therefore, it would be unfortunate
indeed if, in designing a tablet to
commemorate the completion of this
great campaign and mark the first
step toward further Improvements,
the work of the past should be marred
and participation in future campaigns
discouraged by perpetuating in metal
the name of any one man, or the
names of any group of men, as having
been responsible for the splendid
achievements of the past. So many
took part and so many are deserving
of special mention that obviously il
would be impossible to present in the
brief space available the names of all
of them, and to omit even
one who should be included
would be unjust and discourag-
ing. However much individual citi-
zens may have done toward the sue
cess of the public enterprises in ques-
ton the honor of accomplishment be-
longs to the community as a whole
and to the community and not to the
individual, therefore, should the pub
lie improvement tablet be dedicated.

He came to the United States when

soil does not help to preserve peace
and frienship between their two par
ent nations, but adds fuel to the
flames of bitterness. The very thing
he inveighed against all his life-the
development of a political solidarity
among COMMUNICATIONS would
to-day find urged by practically all
who profess to be leaders among
them. Naturally Schurz would scan
the horizon for some discriminatory
act on the part of our government or
some manifestation or racial preju-
dice against German Americans. But
he would find nothing of the sort. So
far as the Federal government and
States are concerned he would dis
cover nothing changed from the day
he left u.s.
All this is pregnant with thought for
the American with German leanings
sufficiently pronounced to impair his
loyalty as a citizen of this country.
But Mr.. Willard strikes the keynote
of the whole situation when he said,
again referring to Schurz:
What could amaze him more than
to find unnumbered Germans who,
like himself, came to this country
to escape the very milttaristic
autocracy they now uphold to-day
denouncing the nation that adopted
and sheltered, fed and clothed them.
He then asked that II it were true.
as contended, that the German kultur
and political system were superior to
the scheme of life and government in
America, why the hordes who have
focked here did not go to Germany in
stead.
Here we have the situation in a nut
shell and the application fits Ameri
cans of French. Austrian, Russian and
British descent quite as much as those
born in Germany. If the native lands
from which they fed to escape mill
tary service or obnoxious laws are so
superior to the United States, let
them go back. We want no man in
this country who does not put the
United States above all other nations.
The only hope for those who per-
sist in their hyphens is that their chill
dren and their children's children may
have higher moral scruples and a
proper regard for the government that
guards their welfare and their lib
critics.
