JUST WHAT TT MEANS

oISb anu more fteDuD1CdnS
lVl of the city are realizing that
their partys candidates for the
City Council are quite as deserving of
their support as any possible COM
bination of an alleged fusion nature.
OF course. much will be said about
trifling shortcomings of administra-
ton and these will be exaggerated
into reasons for opposing the present
Republican commissioners. But when
the truth is known, it is hardly likely
that any considerable number of in
telligent voters will be swayed by the
empty arguments which have been
advanced in the campaign of the
Democratic bosses. They are doing
their utmost to make effective their
plans for controlling the city govern
ment, but as the election approaches
even the most optimistic of the
Democratic combination are begin
ming to show signs of weakening and
it is now quite commonly asserted
that the individuals in the Democratic
group are shaping their fight so as to
gain the largest advantage in the
final rally, each for himself.
Meanwhile the Republican candi-
dates, who realize that the nonpartisan
pretense of their opponents is a mere
blind to deceive voters, are making
their appeal straight to the people on
the score of fair play. City Commits

merits of the work that they have
done and it is not any stretch of the
truth to declare that each of these
three officials has demonstrated his
fitness for the important service that
the people have called upon him to
perform during the last two years.
AS has been stated before in these
columns, the first year of the COM
mission. form of government in Har-
risburg was largely taken UP in a gen.
eral balancing of the duties among
the commissioners. 1t required months
TO get the new municipal ma
chine into good working order, and it
has been somewhat of a surprise to
many observers of the new regime
that it was possible to organize on
the new basis and accomplish such
substantial results as have been OBJ
tanned under the constructive depart-
ments headed by the Republican
commissioners. There is no occasion
to deprive these men of the credit due
them and as no malfeasance in office
has been charged or any real reason
been advanced for refusing them an
other term the average citizen is prob
ably wondering to-day what all the
fuss is about. He will find the answer
however, should he care to look into
the situation, in the desperate efforts
which are now being put forth to give
control of the city government to the
Democratic machine. That is all there
is to it.

EDITH CAvELL. 1915

Sun CLINT and gun CLINT, and sweet
eyes clear of pain,
And on the head of a woman dead
the red cross made by Cain!
o distant ones, all white of face.
Who hear the rifle-roll!
see the real death, the true disgrace,
The devils perfect toll;
A nation in the tiring-place
Has murdered it's own souIi
Straight fire and hate fire, with orders
from the Grown;
But from the lips one breath outslips
to blow an empire down!
We saw the Tide of Terror sweep
Across the Belgian plain,
And women died like poisoned sheep
That drop in a murrain.
Then wherefore should we pause and
weep
For one more woman slain?
Clear soul and dear soul, white as the
clouds that fly;
But on the cheeks the rose that
speaks. mo pale girl coward II"
For once she knew of mercy's knell
When, in a shuddering sea,
The Lusitania's fragile shell
scorpion stung in glee,
"A thousand in the sea-deep dwell
What is one here?'' asks she.
Proud head Unbowed head! o eagles
crest and doves!
Where now you lie beneath the sky
the wide world weeps and loves!
There is a hawk that hunts on high,
On town-bred geese to dine.
A thousand slays he from the sky,
With ne'er a warning sign.
Behold" I hear the martyr cry;
What is one death like miner"
Red breast and dead breast, the
trembling flower beneath
Your white hands SOW. row upon row,
crop of dragons teethl
