ONCE MORE THE HOTEL

A T the risk of a contemptuous
n snort from the, "knocker" ele-
ment of the community, the Tele-
graph is impelled to again call atten-
ton to the fact that once or twice
during the last week it was. prac-
tically impossible for many persons to
obtain hotel accommodations in Har-
risburg. owing to the large number of
strangers in the city attending con-
ferences, taking part in fraternal
meetings and transacting private bust
ness.
While there has been some dis
couragement over the hotel PROPOSE
tion in the past among those who have
given of their time and. energy and
have even subscribed to the cost of a
proposed hotel, the need is so great
and the conditions are becoming SC
intolerable that it would appear
almost necessary to have a mass
meeting of citizens to consider this
important question. Surely there is
enough ginger and public spirit in
" dCNSi LlllS
without further discussion. All who
come this way realize the need and
nothing is doing more to injure the
city than these occasional visitors who
take away with them a wrong impress
sion of the most progressive city in
Pennsylvania, save for this one serI-
Gus short coming.
1t IS a short-coming and nothing
else. We have need for every hotel
now doing business here. A new one
would simply fill the gap between
what we have and what we ought to
have in the way of hotel facilities.
We hear more or less frequently of
new hotel movements and proposi-
tions, but "hope deferred maketh the
heart sick" and the fact that the mat
ter has been drifting so long increases
the difficulty and makes all the more
serious the situation.
1t is no longer a subject for testing
Every individual who knocks" the
hotel proposition should be given his
proper place as an enemy of his home
town. 1t is a booster" proposition

REPUBLICAN ASSISTANCE
WILSON, having
found that he cannot command

DRESIDENT WILSON, having
found that he cannot command
the support of the Democratic
members of Congress in behalf of a
national defense program, has asked
the leaders of the Republicans in
House and Senate to come to his as
sistance in the passage of defense
bill. or series of bills.
The Republicans have announced
their intention of responding right will
lingly. But they will not support
blindly program devised by the Pres
ident and his cabinet. They ask for
detailed explanation and the privilege
of suggesting changes should 1t ap-
pear that changes are necessary. This
is no more than reasonable. IT Re
publicans are to vote for program
of national defense they ought to be
permitted to have a voice in formulat-
ing it. II the President is wise and
really sincere in his desire to give the
pt Jlic what it is demanding he Will
take these experienced and practical
Republican leaders fully into his con-
adence and permit them to make rec
concentrations, even as he will expect
them to accept many of his own suG-
gestions.
All legislation is the result of COM
promise and the success of an adequate
defense program at the hands of the
next Congress depends largely upon a
recognition of this principle by all con-
cerned. The nation is not interested
in the pettiness of personality or to
whom shall go the credit for formu-
lating the program. But woe to the
individual or the party that permits
narrowness of vision or politics to
stand in the way of putting the coun-
try in a state of defense against pos
sible invasion.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO
IFrom Picture Progress. ]


The other day a letter came to the
editors desk from the president of a
woman's club in a nearby city protest
ing against the showing of certain
motion picture in the theater of her
locality. She pointed out the elements
in the picture which she designated as
unsuitable for boys and girls to view,
deplored the exhibition of such a pic
ture and requested the editors aid to
have this picture withdrawn from the
market.
This woman. with her complaint,
represents but one of many thousands
throughout the United States who are
interested in the education and train
ing of boys and girls. They recognize
the screen as one of the most infiuen-
tial educators of the day and are dis
turbed when sensational. or worse,
pictures are shown in their towns.
What these women everywhere can
do is to visit their local theater owner
and ask him to show in his house the
productions which feature the highest
grade stars playing in the best plays
(often dramatized from books) and to
provide them with these plays regu-
larly. The editor knows that plays of
this character are procurable, and
knows that they are within the reach
of any exhibitor anywhere. no matter
how small the town. IL he cares to get
them for his patrons.
Therefore. TO this particular cor
respondent. and to all other women
who are facing a similar problem, we
would say go to your local theater
man and tell him what YOU want.

CHAMRERLAIN,s VIEWS

CENATOR CHAMBERLAIN, of
y Oregon, chairman of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, who
will address a MONDAY luncheon Of
the Chamber of Commerce next We'd
nesday. has declared his intention TO
stand by his letter to Secretary of
War Garrison that experts of the War
Department and the army should in
form Congress of defense needs and
let Congress take the responsibility
for deciding what should be pro-
vided.
While Senator Chamberlain has in
formed the President of his intention
to support the Administrations mill
tary program, he does not regard that
pledge as preventing him from sug-
gesting notifications in the Garrison
plan, it is said. The report of the
General Staff will be published soon
after Congress meets.
Senator Chamberlain is a man of
courageous views and a possible clash
between the Oregon statesman and
the Secretary of War has interesting
possibilities.

THE PEOPLES BUSINESS

VTTITH a high appreciation of their
wv duties and a sincere desire for
proper municipal development,
the City Planning Commission is CIV
ing consideration to every question
that involves proper street alignments
and such regulations as will prevent
the opening of streets not uniform in
width.
1t is strange how frequently pri-
vate owners of property have been
permitted to open streets through
new territory without regard to abut-
ting streets or the conditions which
necessarily follow the carelessness and
indifference of such owners. For
tunate, indeed, is it for Harrisburg
that these five patriotic citizens COM

WEALTH IN UNUSED LANDS
By Frederic ]. Haskir

NNE of the most tangled bits of
wilderness in the United States
~ is located in the generally well
titled and thickly settled county of
Lowndes, Ala. Centuries ago, tiny
creek here flowed through rich bot
tom. Some upheaval of the earth
lifted dixie of rock across its course
so that the surrounding lands became
lake in the wet season and a swamp,
covered with tangled jungle, when the
creek went dry. Rich cotton lands are
all about this swamp, but within its
tangled Businesses the black bear and
the water moccasin are supreme. The
surrounding farmers derive absolutely
no benefit from this swamp except the
sport of shooting wild game, which is
annually driven out of 1t by the floods.
Yet this cotton bottom swamp, twen-
ty miles long and from one to five
mile wide, contains deep black soil
formed by centuries of rotting vegeta-
ton, as rich as any in the world. 1t Is
potential wealth, food for millions,
lying fallow. All that are needed to
make it yield yellowing harvests of
corn and white fields of cotton are
drainage and clearing. This is not
mere speculation, for experts of the
Department of Agriculture have stud
led this swamp and are agreed that it
is one of the great opportunities for
capital in agriculture, of which there
are so many in this country.
The Trinity Bottoms in Hale Coun-
ty, Ala, are another great area of ex-

actly the some sort, formed in the
same way, and there are many others
in various parts of the South. These
great swamps could not be drained
piecemeal. The natural barrier
thrown up by some dynamic convul-
sion of the earth centuries ago would
have to be pierced, and the norma al
drainage of the country established.
Then the forests would have to be cut;
but this would not add greatly to the
expense of the undertaking, for much
of the timber is virgin hardwood of
great value, and nearly all of it could
be used for ties posts and cordwood.
1t has been estimated that within the
United States there ore $4,000 200
acres of unreclaimed syamp land like
Cotton Creek and Trinity Bottoms.
The great majority of this unused land
would be worth at least 500 an acre
II drained, and cleared and most of II
could be reclaimed for a great deal
less than that amount. The estimate
has been made that the drainage alone
would not cost more than an average
of $25 an acre.
The fact that these swamp lands lie
fallow in the midst of prosperous
farming communities is no reflection
upon the energy or enterprise of the
local farmers. These men have used
every bit of land which they have had
sufficient capital to improve. The
areas remain unreclaimed are big
propositions. offering big returns, and
requiring big capital to develop them.

Harrisburg-much greater than the
average citizen in the hurly-burly of
his own activity realizes.
1t would be n good thing for the
city II the Planning Commission could
have public exhibit in some hall,
covering a period of several days, and
showing what is proposed to be done
in the way of correcting old condi-
tions and improving new areas. This
exhibit might be made of wide public
interest through a showing of proper
housing conditions, the advantage of
detached houses, and the improve
ment that follows the setting back of
buildings from the house line so as to
afford ample light and air.
The long and short OF 1t is that we
are headed in the right way and at
the right time. It is for all the peo-
pie of the city to cooperate in this
