TAFT AND ROOSEVELT

" to-day. in parallel columns,
are published the statements
of ex-Presidents Taft and Roosevelt.

citing their views on the Lusitania
crisis. They should be read by every
thinking man and woman. They IL
1ustrate, in a striking manner, the
characteristics of the two men. A
ments and an analysis of the differ-
ences of temperament, methods and
character of their authors as displayed
therein ought to afford some ground
for conclusions on the part of those
who may have wondered why many
conservative, thoughtful Republicans
who entertain no personal dislike for
Theodore Roosevelt preferred William
Howard Taft for President.
Taft, like President Wilson, pro-
poses that the country move slowly to
logical conclusions in its present cri-
sis. Roosevelt would rush to a deci-
sion regardless OF consequences. Taft
would permit the President to make
his own decision. Roosevelt already
has made it for him. Taft would pro-
ceed in a dignifed, orderly manner,
which could take nothing from our ma
Sional honor, but which would place

injured party in the eyes of the world.

Go forth together, joyous train,
To hold up the green. gay side of the world,
And to keep earth's banners of bloom unfurled.

With vague lost dreams of a by-gone life.
They steal upon you by night and day,
But whiff you take away,
And song of tropc bird

And nowhere else you know the sweet,

If in evergreen worlds my set

To feel the shock of sudden delight

From the Winter to the bride of May,
And the harp of Spring is attuned play
The wedding march, and the sun is priest,
And the world is bidden to join the feast.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,

try into war within forty-eight hours
Herein lies the great difference be-
tween the two ex-PreAdents. One is a
patriotic statesman OF calm judgment
and judicial poise. Tho other Is an
impetuous leader; a splendid colonel
OF cavalry. the very man to lead a
desperate and forlorn hope, man OF
high courage and unquestioned pa
triotism, but a Dangerous person to
have in the White House when the
country faces a grave crisis.

man nature as to relapse into the kind
of barbarism of which even the darkest
of the Dark Ages might have been
ashamed. 1t Is true that the German
Government has sent to Washington a
perfunctory message of sympathy with
the victims of the Dusitania horror.
But this action cannot weigh for a
moment in public opinion with the out
bursts of savage joy with which the
had been lost was received all over
Germany. Nor can it mitigate in any
respect the wickedness of the threat,
that policy which deies every law of
God and man is not continued without
scruple or remorse.

HAVE MEN GONE MADY
BY Wing DInEer

have read of the war and it's terrors,
The sabre, the musket, the shell,
The bombs from the sky, the torpedoes
That seem to be spit up from hell.
I've read how the men in the trenches
obeying their masters like slaves,
Will shoot down each other, how others
On sea go to watery graves.
I've read how the helpIess-the women
And children-no mercy receive
Tales of deeds done by civilized nations
Most too awful for one to believe.
And cannot help asking the question,
Have men all gone mad In wars
Life?
That they seek to deprive one another
Of Gods most precious gift of all
Life.

In these delightful springtime days
scores and hundreds of our people are
finding pleasure in tramping about the
city and it's outskirts and learning for
themselves what tremendous progress
has been made during the last few
years in the betterment of living con-
ditions. There has been gradual i'm
provement of the character Of houses
built by contractors and the surround
ings of the city generally show the
rising tide OF estheticism in the treat
ment of lawns and gardens.

Advertising

A clever advertising man once
characterized certain forms of
national advertising as THROW
ING MONEY AT THE MAP.
He pointed out that in their
efforts to spread out. these ma
tional advertisers were getting
everywhere in general and mo-
where in particular.
Manufacturers and distribu-
tors are coming more and more to
see that the easy road to sales Is
through the advertising columns
of the daily newspapers.
Newspaper advertising hits the
spot which II aims at.
1t costs less and produces
more, and it automa tically gets
the enthusiasm and cooperation
of the local dealer.
Manufacturers seeking infor-
nation about newspapers are in
vited TO address the Bureau of
Advertising, American Newspa-

For a Legislature that started out
with a determination to make a record
for short and businesslike session, the
present body has not broken any
record. Weeks were frittered away
during the winter and those members
OF the Senate and House who have
business interests demanding their at
tention at home are now becoming
restive under their enforced legisla-
tive duties. This week. however. will
probably see the desks cleared for
dissolution next week.

A WORLD PROTEST

The main thing that concerns the
American Government to-day is
not the subordinate question OF
reparation for the assassination OF
American citizens who were travel
ing on the Lusitania. II is the
broader question of whether Ger
many. can be brought to her senses
and induced to abandon methods
of warfare that are g crime against
civilization and an affront to hu-
manity. That is one great service
Immediately capable in this crisis
of rendering not only to its own
people and to mankind in general,
but to Germany herself.-New York
World.
This expresses in a terse way the
attitude of a large majority of the
American people. They are not as
much concerned about the rights of
belligerents under international law
as they are about the humanitarian
phases of our present day civiliza-
ton. Germany has invoked a storm
of wrathful Indignation throughout
the world by the torpedoing of the
Lusitania. The neutral mind refuses
to be exercised by the complexities
of international agreements and the
rules of war. Most people are think
ing only of the brutality involved in
the destruction of a great ocean liner
with hundreds of innocent lives.
II the government of the United
States can do no more than utter its
most solemn protest against this kind
of warfare, it will at least have dem
onstrated its lack of sympathy with
such inhuman methods and merciless
disregard of the rights Of neutrals.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-05-12

Now that the personal experience OF
the survivors of the Lusitania are
reaching the public. the old stories OF
heroism and personal courage are re-
peated. All OF which shows that the
days of chivalry are not over and that
heroism does not belong to any one
age. All the more is the pity that
men and women OF such quality are
sent to their deaths in such inhuman
manner.

WHERE BUSINESS STANDS

UTHERE business stands with the
wv present national administration
is clearly shown in an address
delivered by Albert Greene Duncan,
president of the National Association
Of Cotton Manufacturers, at the an
nual convention of that association
Just held. The association is nom
political and nonpartisan, but many
of its members are Southern Demo-
Gratis. AS spokesman for this body,
which has had nearly a century of ex-
istence, Mr.. Duncan said:
The halting attitude Of business
is the natural sequence of our
recent national policies, and is
caused by the fear of the legisla-
tive and governmental campaign
against business. The policy OF
the party in power has been called
1.-The freeing of business from its
shacllles." but in spite of this
well-sounding phrase, the business
man who has undergone the free-
ing process finds himself more
hampered and harrassed than at
any previous time in our history.
The war, in a financial sense, is
it. the new tariff law is at the mo-
ment imperative in effect, though
present as menace. The extent of
the disaster that would have
overtaken our industries had the
operation of the new tarim con-
tinued in full vigor until the pres
ent day no man can estimate
