LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The editorial, cut Out the Cut-Out,"
in your issue of Tuesday last. voiced
my sentiments all right, for my slum-
bers are frequently disturbed by heed
less and inconsiderate drivers of auto
mobiles and motorcycles at all hours
of the night. 1 question whether there
is another city in the land where there
are so many unnecessary noises during
the night, or where the ordinance pro-
hibiting such noises and speeding is
so fiagrantly violated as in Harris
burg. The fact that these conditions do
not exist in other cities that / have in
ly that the enforcement of the ordi-
nance has been of such a feeble char
acter on the part of the authorities that
these murderers of sleep do not give
a hoot for the ordinance nor care a rap

in the day time are entitled to the rest

POOR DEMOCRATIC TEAMWORK
A STRIKING example of the pork

A STRIKING example of the pork
"A barrel patriotism which guides
the ruling minds in the Demo-
cratic party is TO be found in a recent
interview with Representative Hay, of
Virginia. chairman of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. Mr.. Hay
makes it known that he is opposed to
an enlargement of the army, that he
believes it unnecessary and costly. and
that he thinks the country is by means
devoid of defense now. His language
also leads to the inference that he is
peeved because he has not been called
to consult with the War Department
on the subject of national defense.
Mr.. Hay is one of that school of
atesmen-dominant in the South and,
by the same token, dominant in the
Democratic party-who plainly believe
that it is better to spend fifty millions
for Improvements" to insignificant
creeks and bayous in the Southern
States than to spend the same sum for
fortifications and for guns and soldiers
to man them. He regards the present
pressure for adequate military prepar-
edness as newspaper clamor," and he
sternly refuses to be swayed by it.
In this, Mr.. Hay is more consistent
than is the President, who has been
clearly moved by newspaper cIamor"
and who is making a virtue of neces-
sity by trying to plan for a new
military policy. At heart, we have no
doubt. the President thinks exactly
as Mr.. Hay does. During the last ses-
sion of Congress the President stood
with Mr.. Hay in opposition to "militar-
ism The President has seen a new
light. An election is coming and he
is trying to shape his course accord
ingly. Mr.. Hay does not have to con-
slider any questions OF this sort. A
Virginia Democrat. he Is sure OF re-
election and he refuses to play the
Presidents game. And the entire cpl
sode is Illuminating proof of the lack
of teamwork in the Democratic party
and of the futility' of looking to that
party for constructive patriotism in
legislation. Happily, the return of
progressive Republicanism to power is
not far distant We hope it may not
come too late for dealing properly with
this question of national defense.

PUBLIC SPIRIT

TINE Harrisburg Light and Power
i Company displays commendable
public spirit in submitting TO
city council a plan whereby the COM
pany agrees to light the river front
from one end of the river wall to the
other, accept sucn money as the city
is able to pay at this time and to
await the convenience of council for
the remainder.
The plans call for the placing of
light standards at intervals along the
whole length of the wall and for
similar lights along the path that
borders the river bank on grade with
Front street. But the city is without
the necessary funds with which to
complete the Improvement, although
the councilmen have been one and all
desirous of having the wall and walk
lighted in time for the pig municipal
celebration in September. They have
wanted to turn the current into these
lamps as a part of the ceremonies
marking the completion of the public
improvements. without this final step
the improvement enterprise would be
incomplete and the celebration rob-
bed of one of its prettiest features,
for there will be few scenes more at
tractive anywhere than the river wall
with its long string of lights casting
their rays out over the ripping waters
where they will be reflected in a
thousand gems of glittering bright
ness.
But the city is without the neces-
sary funds and here it is that the light
company comes to the rescue. Ac-
cording to the proposal made to-day
the company will buy the standards.
put them in place. accept so much
money on the debt as the city is ready
to pay and permit the remainder to
stand for a period of five years. This
gives the city the desired improve
ment at once, allows the debt con-
tracted to be paid on the installment
plan and places the financial burden
on the company.
This is public service in all truth.

Throw us into warfare.
