HARD To WORK
BY Wing DIneer

Gee, it's hard to keep a-workin'
AS vacation time draws near
AS the chap who's dead in love, bo,
Makes a fellow act as queer.
He just simply can't keep his mind
On his business. and you'd think
From the distant look in his eye
That he's meddled with strong drink
I know. cause the time is comm
For my summer holiday,
And I'm thinking of a spot in
ole Virginny, far away,
Where the birds fly by the hundreds
And make gunnin mighty fine,
Where the FISH bite in dead earnest
Like they'd take the hook and line
Gee. it's hard to keep a-workin'
And awaitin' for the day
When on such big vacation
One can make a getaway.
Kinda makes a fellow fearful
That the birds will all be shot
Ere he gets there, and that all fish
In the sea will have been caught

NOT AN UNNnxED BLESSING

TINE war orders over which many
of the large industries OF the
country are so excited may not
be an unmixed blessing.
Some of the contracts are so big
that mushroom towns are springing
up around the plants that have them
and enormous sums are being ex-
pended to increase factory capacity.
Nobody knows how long the war will
last. Nobody knows whether there
will be other orders to follow those
now being turned out.
Consequently. managers of industries
who are building additions to their
plants to turn out the munition orders
they now have must be realizing
tremendous profits therefrom, sufficfent
to cover their expenditures and still
leave dividends, or they are facing
serious condition when the present
abnormal business with Europe sub
sides.

manufacture of war materials only

What the laboring man wants is work.

the mills are idle and the railroads

son is sincere in his efforts to eradicate
idleness. let him support a national
policy not calculated to knock the

national labor bureau in times when
factories are humming and the rail-
roads glutted with freight.

COTTON EXPORTS
Washington Post 1


The increase in exports of cotton
manufactures has had a wholesome
influence in correcting the collapse
of cotton prices in the South, but al
though the total exports for the last
ten months exceed by several million
dollars the cotton exports for similar
periods in the past, the real test can
be made only in the domestic market.
Official figures made public by the
Department of Commerce show an
indicated export total of appro1qi,.
mately SIS, 900. 900 for the fiscal year.
while the imports will fall below $50
900. 900, making a favorable balance
of trade amounting to $25,000,0O0. This
net business done by American man
ufacturers cannot fail to be crafty
ing. 1t means that there will be s25,-
600, 900 to be spent in the United
States. which otherwise would have
been held in Europe.
Administration officials, however,
should pay greater attention to the
improvement of domestic conditions.
These conditions have been improv-
ing. but the Department of Com
merce would do we'll to consider all
possible methods of increasing domes-
tic trade.

that a careless workman may have

CUT OUT THE CUT-oUT

T<HERE is a municipal regulation
i in Harrisburg against the use
of the cut-out on automobiles
and motorcycles within the city lin
its. But in so far as 1t makes for a
quieter city it might just as we'll never
have been written.
On a lonely country road. especial
ly when scooting along through the
night, there is no sound pleasanter to
the driver of a motor vehicle than the
accompaniment of the cut-out to the
throb of his engine The cut-out has
it's practical uses.-too, but not on the
paved streets of the city where run
ming is easy and the motor never la
borg There it is a nuisance.
How long do the police intend to
permit the practice to continue? How
long is the night to be made hideeus
by motorists who care for nothing but
their own pleasure? How long does
the motorcycle policeman intend to
tag along behind cars and cycles that
1aunt their reckless violations of the
law in his face? Does anybody re-
member of an arrest for illegal use of
the cut-out in the city?
few arrests and a little unpleas-
ant publicity for the violators would
bring relief to residents and teach a
useful lesson to careless motorists.

FUSION

TVERY time political party finds
T. itself in hopeless minority its
bosses look about for some other
party or faction with which 10 fuse
That appears to be the position in
which the Democrats of Dauphin
county find themselves at present.
Last Fall they were well supplied
with those munitions of war that are
supposed to make for victory. Like
wise they had the appeal or home
pride" in support of a native of the
county as a candidate for the highest
ofice of the State But they could not
win. Indeed, they suffered rne worst
defeat in years.
So it is but natural that they look
TO the coming elections with fear and
trembling This year they have neither
money nor platform. The Republicans
who are candidates for reelection are
good men. There is not a Republican
seriously in the running for any Of
the nominations that is not or excellent
reputation. able and popular. Like
wise, the affairs of the Republican
well administered. for the reason that
they are in the hands or the rank and
file, and the party was never more
harmonious nor more assured of vic
tory at the polls in November than at
the present.
Thus it happens that we hear the
cry of fusion from the Democrats,
which is but an admission or hopeless
ness. Like drowning men some of the
Headers" are clutching at the straw
of the poor old Washington Party, re-
gardless of the fact that the recent
registration in the county districts
shows there are some thousands more
Republicans than Democrats and
Washington Party voters put together.

DOWN WITH THE GATES

n EORE power to the citizens of
Nl Columbia and vicinity in their
effort to free Lancaster county
roads from toll gates. The garden
county of the United States has the
reputation of having about as many,
II not more, toll gates as any other
county in this broad land. York
county comes next and it is to be
hoped that the movement to be
launched on August 1s in Columbia
will sweep across the Susquehanna
and arouse York people TO the neces-
sity of tearing down the gates.
The toll road is an anachronism.
If the roads were kept up it would
not be so bad to spare a few cents for
ten miles or so, but they have been
allowed to run down until the exac-
ton of toll is now little more than
legalized robbery. In the vicinity of
Philadelphia, owners of toll roads are
offering to sell, frankly admitting that
they have gotten about all out of the
expect.
Harrisburg's Motor Club. one of the
most enterprising in the State, is NOV
ing to free the highway to Reading
from gates. Its members aided ma
terially in freeing the roads in this
county, and Dauphin, which has only
a short strip of road left, will join
hands with its sister counties to do
away with the gates.
Highway Commissioner Cunning
ham, who will attend the Columbia
meeting. will not only be able to as
sure the official cooperation of the
Commonwealth to the crusade against
the gates. but can speak with public
sentiment behind him.
