THE WEATHER
IS AGAINST IT

The weather clerk seems de.
termined that those meetings of
the Development Association,
the club women and the Anti
Horse Thief delegates, to be held
in Willard, shall not be held.
Last Tuesday was the second
date set for the Development AS
sociation meeting, the first hav-
ing been knocked out by the
weather, and the other two
meetings were to have been held
at the same time But the roads
were in such a state that nobody
tried to go from here except Mrs.
LldWick and Mrs. Olive, and no.
body from north of here attempt
ed is. An effort was made to get
a special train, but the railroad
asked for a guaranty of $75, and
enough passengers to pay this
amount could not be secured. We
understand that nobody was in
attendance from outside of Will
lard except the two ladies men
toned, and none of the meetings
were held. Presumably another
date will be set and another at
tempt made to pull off these
meetings.

Two-CENT NEWSPAPERS

"HE Troy Times, Troy n Y, has
advanced its price from one to
= two cents. The Times found
that it could not do business
profitably on one cent a copy and so
it decided, very properly, to increase
its price per copy rather than lower
the standard it had established and
of which readers voiced their approval
by constantly increasing subscriptions.
Doubtless the future will justify the
decision of the management. No
newspaper can live long on a losing
basis, unless it be run to satisfy the
whims or the interests of some indi-
vidual or group of individuals, and
then it is not serving the public as 1t
popular newspaper in any community
is the most prosperous. There are two
reasons for this. First, brightness
and right editorial policy draw read
ers, and readers draw advertisements
Secondly, because the more prosper
Gus a newspaper the more guarded
will its management be in it's attitude
on pubic questions and the more ener-
getic 1t will be to maintain its hold
upon public approval.
1t is a remarkable truth that the
newspaper is the only article now en-
tering the American household that
does not cost more than 1t did twenty
flve years ago. Indeed. In most in
stances the newspaper costs to-day
only half what 1t did two decades ago,
and 1t is far more readable and costs
much more to produce. Newspaper
management in general has been con-
sistent In its fight to keep down the

low price while its own cost of manu-
facture has steadily advanced. But

IN YOUR OLD CLOTHES

For some fun, the wholesome kind
Like you had when but a youngster,
With no worries on your mind
There's a way that you can get it
And it's simple, goodness knows,
All that's needed is the spirit
And your Oldest suit of clothes.
You don't have to wait for sunshine
For that matter. there's more fun
Pickin' days when clouds are threat
enin'
And there amt no sign of sun.
Then go strollin' through the country
Care not if it rains and blows
Take your drenchin'. 1t don't matter,
You've got on your oldest clothes.
Gee, l know it's great. I tried it.
Fer l went out yesterday
To the country. walked the golf course
(No, the game I cannot play).
Then it rained, ana soaked me, brother,
From my head down to my toes.
And 1 laughed the laughs of boyhood
All dressed up in my old clothes.

GERMANY ON DEFENSIVE

1T may be suspected that there is
more truth than official sources
: have admitted in the rumors that
Germany would not be averse to
make peace on certain terms. : Re-
gardless of the numerous articles
emanating from Berlin on the ability
of the German nation to wage a win
ming fight and the brave efforts of
the German people to keep a stiff
upper lip" the fact remains that Ger
many is now waging a defensive war
fare at every point where her troops
are engaged with the enemy. She is
making stubborn defence, to be sure,
but defence nevertheless, and she is
in no position to strike a winning blow
at any point.
All the remarkable achievements of
Won Hindenburg on the east-and
what he has done there will go down
in military annals as among the most
brilliant feats of war on record--has
served no other purpose than to halt
the Russian advance on Berlin. On

rs LOCAL OPTION POPULAR +?
local option popular

- ioSdi oplloli popular.
If you doubt it consult the re-
turns from yesterdays Local Option
Sunday in the churches.
And do not make any mistake about
the churches.
1t used to be said, and with some
degree of truth, that the churches
didn't count they were made up
largely of women and children and a
few men.
That no longer applies. Observe the
growth of the mems Bible class move
ment. Look back over the Sunday
school parades in Harrisburg during
the past few years. 1t has been found
easier to get men out to march for the
church than to line them up for this
or that political party. Invariably the
church and Sunday school professions
of the past three or four years have
been larger than the political process
sions. That means something. And
what it means is this-that men have
come to look upon their religious du-
ties more seriously than ever in the
history of the country, and to enter
upon them not only willingly, but with
enthusiasm.
Make no mistake about the
churches, you who may be inclined to
doubt the force of yesterdays local
option demonstration. The man who
votes in the Legislature for local option
at this time is going to. get their sup
port in the future. The man who
votes against it will most surely be
defeated at the polls next year if he
has the temerity to ask the voters for
their suffrage after betraying the trust
they placed in him.
There is one congregation. for in
stance, which numbers in it's mem
bership more than 400 voters of Har-
r.sburg. Yesterday they stood upon
their feet and pledged support to what
ever local option candidate, regard
less of party, appeared to their leaders
TO be the strongest next year, should
the bill fall at this session.
That is fair example of the spirit
that is broadcast in Pennsylvania.
The legislator who cannot or won't
see the significance of it must take the
consequences.
He cannot say he has not been prop
erly warned

PROTECT THE BIRDS

~ ONERNOR BRUMBAUGH in his
very excellent Arbor Day proc
~ lamation of Saturday struck a
new note when he said:
Moreover, in these trees nest and
abide our song birds. These feath-
cred friends demand consideration
They should have a welcome to our
state; / would plead on Arbor Day
for the birds, their care, and their
comfort We do not yet fully ap-
preciate their benificent Offices as
we should.
This is in full accord with the inter-
est in birdlife this newspaper has been
endeavoring to arouse among the peo-
pie of Harrisburg. Park Commissioner
Taylor has responded to the plea with
announcement that he will cause to
be erected in the city parks several
bird hotels" That is good, but it is
not enough. Private property owners
ought to encourage the feathered sum-
mer visitors to nest in their trees.
Little bird houses do not cost much
and everyone of them pays for itself
over and over in that protection from
insects which the presence of nesting
birds insures.
Wherever there is a nest of hungry
young birds, there the parent birds
may be found busy on the trees and in
the shrubbery and about the garden,
working industriously among the in
scots, feeding their little ones and rid
ding the plants of pests at one and the
same time.

The billions Germany has spent in
preparation have gone for naught, SO
far as ultimate victory is concerned
All her magnificent organization is
availing her. nothing, save to stave
off the evil day. The heroic behavior
of her officers and men and the sacri-
flee of her people in blood and treas

tory editorial:

~ ENATOR GEORGE T. OLIVER, in
communication to the Public
~ Ledger, giving his views on Re-
publican prospects for 1916, says:
The Republican victories in the
West can have but one meaning.
After two years of trial, the people
are sick and tired of Democratic
nounced reaction in public senti-
ment against the extreme radical
ism of late years, as well as against
continued meddlesome interference
by the Government in the private
affairs of its citizens.
The revenue legislation of the
last Congress has resulted in a
deficit which is appalling, in the
face of which the expenses of the
Government exceed any in its his
tory. Notwithstanding this Con-
gress refused to make adequate
provision for either the army or
the navy, and our defenseiess con-
dditi9in ddrninn is almost an invitation to
policy is a constant humiliation g.
and the manner in which our for
eign affairs are managed would be
lauRhable If 1t were not so serious.
The Republican slogan next year
"The Government of this great
country is too big a job for the
Democratic party"
There you have it in q nutshell. The
JOp Is tOO blB lOI the DeI1O-
Gratis. They have failed wherever the
opportunity was afforded. They have
the country into the worst de-
preston in its history. They have
saddled upon it tariff law that has
failed to bring into the treasury suff1-
cient money to meet ordinary eXpendi-
lures. even with the assistance of an
income tax law, and on top of that
they have looted the government
strong box to such a degree that not
only are we paying tribute in the form
of an irksome stamp tax, but as we'll
are facing the only deficit in the treas
ury since the Republicans took over
the government at the close of the
Cleveland administration.
All the hgh-sounding theories in
the world will not square the Wilson
administration with the people after
such an example of unprecedented ex-
travagance and unheard of inability
to size up to the duties imposed upon
it. The Job is too big" That tells
the story, and Senator Oliver is right
in his conclusions that the voters
of the country have decided already
upon a change.
