OUR RIGHT TO THE SEA

IFrom the New York World]
In plain words, the British memo
randum in relation to the lawless in
reference with our ships and cargoes
is an impudent persistence in wrong
doing. Nobody is more conscious of
this offense than the members of the
British Ministry, for in answering US
now with sophistry and falsehood they
reverse the record of their own Gov
ernment in like cases for many years.
When the United States under inter-
national law has rights clearly estab-
lished, what can be more intolera BILE
than to have professed friend say that
those rights will be invaded only with
the minimum of inconvenience? What
can be more insolent than to be assured
by such a friend that on interrupting
our lawful trade with neutrals ii will
graciously refrain from violence or
confiscation? Is there any outrage that
one nation can infict upon another at
peace more humiliating than to sub
ject its legitimate commerce to a pratt
cal censorship?
No matter how many diplomatic
notes may be written or how cleverly
or falsely they may evade the real is
sue, the British Government cannot
justify the seizure of neutral ships
laden with noncontraband goods bound
from one neutral port to another, In
ternational law recognizes and defines
blockades, but 1t specifically declares
that no blockade shall be operative
against nations at peace.

HOW SLATON FACED THE MOB

added to the tax levy, thus clearing up
the States fiscal difficulties. This, with
other reforms he instituted, reduced
the tax rate 10 per cent, and every
body in Georgia is now satisfied that
the right course was pursued,
There has been some prejudice
against Mr.. Slaton because he was not
what is called in Georgia "a wool hat
Governor" by which is meant a man
from the agricultural districts. 1t is a
tradition in that State that no man
shall be elected to the highest office
who was born and raised in a large
city. Mr.. Slaton is an Albanian by
birth. He is the first city man to fill
the executive chair since the term of
General John B. Gordon, a Southern
soldier, who took office just after the
close of the Civil War and who was
elected upon his war record.
Governor Slaton is wealthy. Not
only has he amassed a comfortable
competence from his law practice, but
he married the. greatest heiress in
Georgia. His wife Is still called Miss
Sally Fanny Grant" although they
have been married for fifteen years
and he is her second husband. Her
first husband, Tom Cobb Jackson, died
soon after she married him.
Mrs. Slaton is the great-great-g grand
daughter of General James Jackson,
one of the States early Governors and
a United States senator. A thorough
Georgian, General Jackson resigned his
place in the United States Senate to
become a member of the Georgia legis-
lature for the purpose of fighting the
so-called "Yazoo fraud" His was the
time of duelling and his activities in
exposing the evils of the project led
him into eight duels. He was wounded
in several of them and finally died
from the effects of his injuries, but not
urtil he had accomplished his purpose.
1t was Mrs. Slaton's ambition that
her husband should become Governor
of her State. She had advised with
him in every issue and to her Mr.. Sla-
ton attributes not a small part of his
success. Their home, about five miles
from the center of Atlanta, in Peach
tree road, is famous for its hospitality

POOR CONSOLATION

|EVEN the most resourceful mathe-
T. matician finds 1t extremely diff
cult, if not impossible. to use any
comparative statistics in such a way as
to bring credit to the present national
administration. Some. however, make
desperate efforts to put the figures to-
gether in such a way as to relieve
Democracy of its burden of discredit.
In an attempt of this kind one Demo-
cratic newspaper refers to the fact
that railway earnings for April. 1915.
were $SS,S21.30s, as compared with
S32,222,791 for the same month in
1914. an increase of a million and a
half.
Even though that is comparing one
Democratic month with another. and,
therefore, proves nothing, the apparent
good showing is entirely reversed when
the Democratic editor finds himself
forced to admit that the gain in net
earnings "is not due to an increase in
gross earnings. but to a decrease in op-
Grating expenses" That decrease in
operating expenses must mean either re-
duced wages. reduced purchases or re-
duced employment In any event, 1t
means less money for the workers on
railroads or in railroad shops. Nor is
that all, for the same editor goes on
to admit that although gross earnings
were down only $4,000, 900 for the
month (ApriD, they were down
S79. 100000 during the preceding nine
months" or an average of nearly
$4,000. 900 a month.
While most people will be glad to
know that the railroads as a whole.
aided by increased rates and by re-
newed industrial activity due to the
war, are not as badly off as they were,
1t is difficult to comprehend what sat
isfaction a Democrat can get out of
presentation of statistics showing the
depths to which railroad business had
sunk within recent months.

CONFIDENCE IN HARRISBURG

n GRATIFYING condition in an
"A otherwise somewhat dull business
season is the report of the local
Building Inspector, which shows that
in June new building operations in
Harrisburg amounted to nearly quar-
ter million dollars and that for the first
half Of the year the figures are near
the million-dollar mark. This, of
course, takes no account of suburban
building, much Of which has been done
and is now being done on the outskirts
iof the city. New building for 1915 in
Harrisburg will exceed that Of last
year by several hundred thousands OF
dollars. the indications are.
AS everybody knows, this city has
of prosperity this year. While some of
our industries have been busy as a re-
suit of war orders. and while public
improvements and railroad construc-
tion work have kept labor fairly we'll
employed, business in general has not
been what it might have been. 1t is
al the more to the credit Of those who
have gone forward with their develop
ment enterprises that they have not
been deferred thereby. The con-
fidence they are displaying in the
future of Harrisburg is distinctly en-
couraging to every line of trade and
the optimistic influences thus exerted
rediate in all directions
Harrisburg is not only a delightful
place in which to live, but it also has
bright possibilities in a business way.
With a restoration of prosperity
throughout the country, the biggest
boom in the history of the city is
bound to follow The new building
operations of this year are but as the
ripples that precede the food tide.

WHAT IS CRUELTY?

7 DIDN'T know it was cruell" said
a Harrisburg woman to the agent
= of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, who had re-
monstrated with her for keeping her
dog tied all day in the blazing sun.
This is common excuse. Many a
failure to report improper treatment
of animals to the S. P. c. A. arises
from uncertainty as to what consti-
tutes cruelty under the law. Frequent
inquiry at headquarters of the society
brings. the following suggestions:
The surest preventive of cruelty is
to include animals in the working of
that golden command on which hang
all the law and the prophets. Guilt
vate imagination. Put yourself in the
place of horse, dog or cat. Then act
as you would like to be treated.
He is cruel to animals who infiicts
unnecessary pain. In defining the
necessary 1t is safe to err on the
side of "softness." Stoicism and Spar
tan training may be good for man
who can answer back-it means, too
often, cruelty to the animal.
He is guilty of cruelty:
Who overworks, underfeeds or neg
lects to provide plenty of good fresh
water for any animal in his posses
sion.

EFFECTS OF COAL SLUMP

TIME Pennsylvania Railroad is a
Il great carrier of soft coal and so
is the Reading. On both Har-
risburg depends for a large share OF
whatever degree of prosperity it en-
joys. There is, therefore, much of
interest locally In a digest of the
bituminous coal trade issued to-day
for the first six months of 1915, as
estimated by c. e. Lesher of the
United States Geological Survey He
fixes the output as between 100000
900 and 10000, 900 short tons, the
rate of production having been from
eighty-five to ninety per cent. of the
average for the previous year. Thus
the bituminous coal production during
this six months period has been con-
siderably less than for the correspond
ing period in 1914 and the reflex is
felt right here in Harrisburg. The
rate of production this year decreased
after January, reached low ebb in
March and April, and is now happily
on the increase.
=. The States west of the Mississippi
river, WHICH IN 1919 prOQuceQ less
than 13 per cent. of the total, do not
appear to have suffered from this de-
crease as much as the Eastern States
reports from certain districts in the
West showing an increase over 1914
This is attributed to the increase in
metal mining and smelling. and tc
greater railroad activity. In Pennsyl.
vania and West Virginia the loss OF
bunker trade on the Atlantic seaboard
much of which passes through Har.
rispurg, and the slowness of the Lake
season have been only partly offset by
the increasing coal exports. The re.
cent activity in the iron business ha.
been slow to affect the coal trade, al.
though coke has gained considerably
during the last Ho months and fol
the rest of 1915 the increased outpu
should continue.
The anthracite producers have
Jared better than the soft coal oper
ators, since 1t is estimated that the out

LABOR AND MILITARY RULE
IFrnm tha Philadalr

[From the Philadelphia Press.1
Nothing more drastic has ever been
attempted under militarist regime
than the British proposals for settling
the labor problems that have been
perplexing the Government and handi-
capping the nation in the war. The
men are told by David Lloyd George,
the most advanced radical in the Cabi-
net. that If they do not go to work
voluntarily in the munitions factories
they will be conscripted and forced
to do so. This ultimatum has had the
effect of inducing the labor leaders
to ask for a truce of seven days in
which to round up the workmen as
voluntary laborers.
If the efforts of the labor leaders
are crowned with success, the next
step of the Government will be to or
ganize a volunteer army of work
men These Industrial soldiers will
enlist for service during the whole
period of the war, pledging them
selves to go wherever they may be
ordered by the Government Strikes
and lockouts in establishments for
the manufacture of war material are
made illegal and the making of mu-
nitions is to be organized on a strict
ly military basis. Great Britain aims
to manufacture more munitions than
the countries of Central Europe,
which are said to be turning out
ESQ. 900 shells daily. These plans should
have that result.

Who drives a horse or works him
when his condition is such that suffer-
ing follows. Some of the things which
make this unfit condition are: Har-
ness that rubs on a CALLED spot, lame
ness, driving unshod on a hard pave
ment or shod so that no footing can
be had on an icy or slippery pavement;
to keep a horse standing unblanketed
in cold or stormy weather.
Who uses bride on a horse where
the binders crowd in on his eyes; who
uses too tight a check rein, bit that
tortures, or collar so tight that it
chokes or so large that it plays about
the neck.
Who allows children to torment a
dog or cat; or who closes a house for
the summer without making proper
provision for a domestic pet
Ignorance of law is no excuse for
injuring men and should not be in
the treatment of animals. No one so
stupid or ignorant not to know when
he is causing pain should be allowed to
be with animals.
Neglect or indifference is often as
cruel as wanton blow or infliction of
pain. To pass unheeding any suffer-
ing beast or bird is cruelty, though it
is not amenable to law.-Supplied by

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CONDEMNS PRINTERS INK WAR

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear Sir-When will the foreigners
OF the warning countries ever become
true Americans? From the letters of
late in the papers and the English
used in the composition of some
would infer some of the writers have
been in this country long enough to
have better sense than to fight in be-
half of the lands from which they
came with other would-be Americans.
They for the sake of peace should try
to forget they ever came from for
eign land, and if they did not mean
it from their hearts when they took
the oath to become Americans at
least should try to be Americans and
not show their unfaithfulness to their
oath by so much unnecessary printing
ink wars about the countries they still
seem to hold dearest to their hearts.
1t really is a sad state of affairs for
the real American to think that there
are so many of old home ties among
the would-be Americans. They take
the oaths to become Americans and
really in heart they are not. BY this
unnecessary printing ink war they give
themselves away and show oaths taken
was not from their hearts, but for a
purely selfish purpose; maybe that
they might not be called back to de-
fend their home lands. May God pro-
tect our fair America from such awful
false pretense, and may those would-b be
Americans get their thinking caps on
and not continue this printers ink war
on each other any longer. 1t is sick
ening. They are here on the free,
glorious land of the Stars and Stripes
and expect protection and Herewith
ought to be contented and at least
try to be what their oath to this coun-
try calls for. ] was born in Canada

and have been a real American ever
since, in mind. heart, soul and body.

Why should Canada and I have any

CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION

MO other national legislation within
" the last quarter of a century
has done more to protect and
promote the health of the American
people and prevent financial loss
through fraud and deception than has
the national pure food law, which was
enacted in 1905 by a Congress that
was Republican in both branches, and
signed by Republican President.
This law was peculiarly a Repub-
lican idea, for it asserted the power of
the general government to enact legis-
lation of this kind, a power which was
denied by Democrats who were advo-
Gates of the doctrine of States rights.
President Wilson apparently overlook
ed this law when he said recently that
the Republican party had not had a
new idea in thirty years. The only
votes cast against the bill were by
Democrats, and one of those was by
Congressman A. S. Burleson, of Texas,
now Postmaster General, the only
member of that Congress specially
honored by President Wilson
While commonly referred to as a
pure food law the act regulates the
manufacture and sale of not only food
but drugs, confectionery, medicine and
liquors; insures purity, prevents mis-
branding, prohibits adulteration, re-
quires full weight and measure, and
forbids use of poisonous and deleter-
ious substances.
The law requires that if certain
habit-forming drugs be contained in a
medical preparation. that fact shall
be plainly stated on the label and that
the quantity of alcohol contained in
medicine be specified. 1t prohibits
removing part or all of the contents
of a receptacle and substitution of
another article different from that in
dicated on the package. In the case
of foods put up in packages, it re-
quires that the weight or measure be
specified on the label. Sale or packing
of partly decomposed meats is for
hidden. All these provisions were
necessary for the protection of public
health and for the prevention of fraud
in the manufacture and sale of food
and drugs.
The enactment of the pure food law
was laI gely due to the persistent rec
concentrations of Republican Presi-

Republican Senator, Hepburn of Ida.
