EFFICIENCY OF COOPERATION

TINE arrangement recently an
/ nounced by the State Fish. Game
and Forestry Com m i s i o n s
whereby they will cooperate to en-
force the police regulations required
of them by act of the Legislature is
a step in the right direction.
1t has never been apparent to any
body who has given the matter con-
sideration why one force of men
should patrol the woodsSfor purposes
of game protection and pay no atten-
tion to violations of the fish or game
laws, or why fish warden should not
be a game protector, or a game war
den a fish protector, as the case may
be.
The duties of forest, game and fish
wardens dovetail so perfectly that
there is no overlapping and one may
act in the capacity of another with
out decreasing his own efficiency in
any way. The State is the gamer by
the new plan. Thereby the fish, game
and forest forces are all three trebled
in size and rendered that much more
effective.

The National Guard of Pennsylvania

would make believe. A large proper
tion of the men are teetotalers and of
those who do indulge few go beyond
what is commonly regarded as
moderation. Nevertheless every quart
of liquor consumed during an encamp-
ment saps the vitality OF the troops
and diminishes to that extent the
fighting efficiency of the guard.

MAKING THE ROADS SAFE

DH recalling the automobile license
ID of a driver who was found
guilty of running his car while
under the influence of liquor State
Highway Commissioner Cunningham
has shown that he meant exactly what
he said few weeks ago when ne
announced his intention of ridding the
State highways of drunken automobile
operators.
No railroad company would for a
moment tolerate on one of it's loco
motives an engineer who would let
drink get the better of him. Yet the
intemperate engineer is scarcely a
greater menace to public safety than
is the drunken driver of an automo-
bile. Such a one not only imperils the
lives of those who ride with him, but
no pedestrian is safe on the highway
with him and vehicular traffic sharing
the road is in constant danger. Many
of the accidents that have made some
people fearful of the automobile and
have kept others from owning a ma
chine have been due to the Joy rid
ing" of intoxicated drivers.
Mr.. Cunningham will have the pub
lie with him in his strict enforcement
of the law in this respect. Also it is
a pleasure to note that the Motor
Club of Harrisburg has assumed the
same attitude and is not only de-
barring from membership those who
violate the law of Safety First" but
is employing officers to enforce the
laws of the State as they apply to
automobiles.

THE REASON

TN a recent editorial, the Christian
Science Monitor says that lin a
year when depression seized upon
many of Canadas leading industries,
.among those that assisted materially
Ito prevent a complete upset of the
balance was lumber production"
This brief statement should be of
great interest to the American people.
A brief consideration of import sta
tistics shows why numbering has been
SO material a factor in maintaining
business in Canada at a time when
that industry is paralyzed in the
United States.
The mills of the Pacific coast have
been closed down or running on short
time. Logging camps have been idle
and the wheels of shingle mills do not
turn.
During the month of March, 1918.
under a protective tariff, imports of
shingles into the United States
amounted to only 100000. During the
same month in 1914, the imports in
creased to S195,O00, and in March,
1915, to s244,0O0-more than four
times the amount of the imports under
a protective tariff.
1t requires no argument or comment
to show why the lumber industry has
prevented a complete upset of the
balance" in Canada, and why idle lum-
bermen are not buying extensively of
foodstuffs, clothing, machinery and
other commodities in the United
States

LOOKING TOWARD VICTORY

VXTHILE patriotism has risen
Nv. above partisanship in New
England. so far as foreign
complications are concerned. reports
from Maine, New Hampshire and Ner-
mont within the past few days indi-
cate that in each of these States the
Republican party is planning to con-
duct the next campaign on a platform
of opposition to Democratic inefficien-
cy, and Massachusetts is also lining
up for that purpose.
New England evidently feels that as
a section it has been deliberately and
unfairly attacked by the Democratic
Congress, and that but for the war
the Wilson-Underwood tariff would
have brought widespread ruin to every
one of these manufacturing States,
The tariff. provided conditions are
normal, will be the principal issue
upon which the Republican party will
make its campaign, and there is a gem
eral feeling of a sweeping victory in
1915.
New England has been painfully
conscious since 1913 that the South is
in the saddle, and that in the tariff
and other legislation, as we'll as in a
rightful share in the allotments of
Office, it has been Disseminated
against to the advantage of the South

by war has faded away, but in its
place has arisen new sectionalism,

NOT PLAY, BUT HARD WORK

TIME was when the annual en-
campment of the National Guard
was little more than a reunion
and jollification, with lots to eat and
more to drink and very little to do
save look pleasant and march in re-
view on the day when the Governor
and his staff put in their appearance
for the annual review. But the camp
that opens at Mt. Gretna to-day with
so many Harrisburg soldiers under
canvas will be a very different kind
of affair. There will be very. very
little play and very, very much hard
work. The Guardsmen will be given
a week of hard training in the ways
of the modern soldier. officers and
men will live under conditions as
nearly like those existing in time of
actual warfare as is possible. They
will learn the little tricks of caring
for themselves under any and all con-
ditions. They will be ordered about
by their own officers, but those officers
will be acting under the guiding hand
of regular army men, experts in their
line and the State troops cannot help
but be benefited by the contact.
The temperance order issued bv
Adjutant General Stewart is in strict
accord with modern thought along
this line. Even Berlin has decreed
that alcohol and military life do not
mix. Doubtless there will be no lack
of liquor at Mt. Gretna for those who
cannot get along without it, but i is
important that the State should have
set its foot down hard upon the prac-
tice of drinking while in camp. This
is the first step toward its total
abolition in years to come, The soldier

LEADING THE WAY

r B. WILSON. manager of adver-
T tising for the Bankers Trust
Company, delivered an address
recently before the North Dakota
Bankers Association, in which he said:
Bankers, If they would be in har-
mony with the best thoughts of the
present day, with the thought
which makes for solidarity with
in the nation and between nations,
must necessarily consider their
duty toward the community, the
country and the world, while con-
sidering their own business inter-
ests.
/ do not hesitate to say that IL
is a duty of banks of the better
sort to apprise the public of their
facilities and usefulness.
There is the obvious reason of
, self-interest which impels the
banker to advertise. the laudable
desire to expand his business to
grow in public confidence, to in
crease his profits and dividends by
increasing the volume of his busi-
ness.
Publicity is the order of the day.
The store that does not advertise is
looked upon with suspicion. Goods
that are not advertised are generally
of an inferior quality. The man in

DOUBLE FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN
[St. Paul Pioneer Press. l

~. dll lpIlceI IIeSS.
1t has been said or written or
dreamed that one must go abroad to
learn the news of his own bailiwick.
But that is not all. Evidence is now
at hand that political wisdom of do
mestic affairs does not always dwell
at home. The antisuffragists, for in
stance, have spent years in attempt
Ing to demonstrate why the sex line
should be drawn at the polls-why
masculine rather than feminine at
tributes should be held as the stand
ard of franchise. But in spite of
their efforts suffrage has been gain
ing. The antis have gone lame un-
der the burden of proof.
But now comes a man from the
Orient-no less a parsonage than Mr..
Chang, the Rockefeller of China, who,
while in a Southern city, was asked
what he thought of woman suffrage.
Having previously been led to be-
iieve that American women ruled
their husbands in all things, he ex-
claimed: That would mean two
votes for each woman! Why give a
woman two votes?"
