THE WHEAT CROP

THE condition of the wheat crop
of the United States is an illus
= tration of the biblical assertion
that ITO him who hath shall be
given" and in this instance it is a
blessing that it is so.
With the European wheat crop en-
tirely obliterated in many quarters and
naturally very much restricted every
where, the indications are that the
1915 yield in this country will break
even last years great record OF 90O,
100000 bushels. The world would
have been in a bad way for foodstuffs
if 1t had not been for America last
year, and failure of the wheat crop
of the coming summer would have
been almost as disastrous. There is
sure to be big demand for our wheat
abroad this year, whether the war con-
tinues long or not, so that the farmer
who has doubled his acreage not only
stands very good chance to make a fair
profit, but appears In the light of a
public benefactor, for the reason that
a big crop in 1915 will tend to keep
prices down to at least the present
level at home as we'll as supply the
hungry mouths of Europe.

RETURN TO SANITY
Harrisburg, April 7, 1915.

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Your editorial headed Return to
Sanity in the Telegraph of Monday,
5th inst. is most excellent; and so
pleasing to me that / sincerely wish
that by an oversight it would appear
on the Telegraph's editorial page for
a full weelS-in order that it might
do the greatest good to the greatest
number of readers. An advertisement
presenting matter of equal import
ance would be repeated for several
days, of course, therefore L contend
this editorial should be, too. Doing
this would cause comment quite out Of
the usual, but the only result would
be a greater good. The real outcome
from such comment would be to draw
fuller attention to titus it would
attain the end desired. ! believe that
Iif Mr.. Root had been the choice of
the Republican party as candidate for
President, and opposed to Mr.. Wilson
Gas l had hoped he would be-, his
election by a large majority was sure.
My opinion is that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not have been in opposition to
Mr.. Root as a candidate; and as a
logical conclusion believe there would
have been no Progressive party nomi-
nation in 1912. AS you well know,
Mr.. Root has q conspicuous public
record for unselfish and valuable SER
vice to Mr.. Roosevelt's administration.
Now, as the country lost an oppor-
tunity to vote for Mr.. Root for Presi-
dent, a Democratic candidate was
elected by minority popular vote. 1
write from memory, but think that 1
am correct in stating that each time
Mr.. Bryan ran for President he re-
ceived more votes than did Mr.. Wilson
but he was not elected so you would
notice 1t.
I am specially pleased that your
editorial, to which l have referred,
contained part of Mr.. Roots speech on
March 23, 1915, at the Union League
Club, Philadelphia. 1t is gem" and
think it one of the best 1 ever heard
or read-covering a subject of over
whelming importance to the whole

NHE SCHOOL BOARD has done

= holiday on Arbor Day in order
to give the pupils opportunity
to participate in the great tree plant
ing program at Wildwood Park. where
5000 young trees are to be set out
under the direction of City Forester
Mueller.
Years ago, under the supervision of
George g. Kennedy, then head of the

Also, the introduction OF hundreds

CHICAGO Is REPUBLICAN

@HICAGO on Tuesday of this week
gave a little demonstration or
~ what it will do at the next Pres
idential election.
Chicago is now overwhelmingly Re-
publican. 1t is not nearly so enthusi-
astic over Democratic and Progressive
theories as it was before President
Wilson entered the White House and
imposed upon the country laws en-
bracing his ideas on the tariff and
other subjects of very doubtful bene-
fit.
1t is true that there were many local
Issues in the Chicago campaign and
that the votes of women figured large
ly in the result. Nevertheless, the dis
appointment displayed by the Democ-
racy of the country in it's failure TO
carry Chicago shows very plainly that
the national administration, as we'll as
observing Republicans, see therein an
indication that Chicago voters took
into consideration national as we'll as
local matters on Tuesday and voted
accordingly,

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS
AND FOOD FERMENTATION
by n Stomach Specialist

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, have been forced
to the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach ag-
gravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining OF
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stom-
ach abnormally, causing that full
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and
tard the process of digestion. The
but irritated almost past endurance. by
these foreign elements-actd and wind
In all such cases and they comprise
over 90 per cent. of all stomach diff
culties-the first and only step neces-
sary is to neutralize the acid and stop
the fermentation by taking in a little
warm or cold water Immediately after
eating, from one to two teaspoonfulS
of bisurated magnesId, which is doubt
less the best and only really effective
antacid and food corrective known
The acid will be neutralized and the
fermentation stopped almost instant
ly, and your stomach will at once pro-
ceed to digest the food in a healthy,
normal manner Be sure to ask your
druggist lor the bisurated magnesia,
as i have found other forms utterly
lacking in it's peculiarly valuable prop
erties.-F. J. G.-Adv.

SAVING THE PARTY"

w from wsl5@saains 5s6s.a ;5ss 6Sieas;. ssaa; a;
Saving the Republican Party"
The Republican party doesn't need any
saving. 1t is perfectly capable of saw
ing itself. Ill-advised leadership or the
qualification of personal wishes or de-
sires in the party may cause dissatis-
faction among the rank and file, but
the party itself. as has been amply
shown in the past few years, can and
does come through any emergency in
the right spirit and at the right time.
The career of the Republican party,
an institution born amid the passions
and misunderstanding incident to
Civil War, has been upward and ele-
waiting, and its course always has been
distinctively constructive. True, there
may have been times when its progress
was not rapid enough TO meet the
views of n great many of its members,
but with changed or chastened leader
ship in command the word Forward"
always has been emblazoned on its
banner.
Every party, every organization, cor
poration or association must have
leaders, and if the present leaders of
the Republican party feel that the re-
cent overwhelming return of the voters
10 the party standards means that the
people will accept quietly any pro-
gram which has for it's object the pro-
lection of any special interest or the
neglect to provide welfare legislation
for the many, they will find themselves
in the position of the pompous drum
major who attempted to lead his band
where it would not go.
Far-seeing Republicans, Of whom
Governor Brumbaugh in our own
State is conspicuous example, have
sensed the spirit of the times, which
is reasonable regulation for business
and reasonable protection for the pub
lie, with a maximum of freedom for
both and justice for all. The Cover
nor's compensation. local option and
other bills are fair samples of the
kind of laws the people want and the
kind they are going to have; for
what they want they eventually will
get, and the Republican party is the
instrument they desire to use, il one
may Judge by the returns of recent
elections. 1t behooves Republican
leaders everywhere, then, to hearken
10 the public demand and to heed it,
Tor there is no party leadership that
can do otherwise and live. The peopIe
believe in the party, and woe to the
leadership anywhere that betrays its
trust.

THE STATUS OF BUSINESS
is a peculiar discrepancy
between the report OF the Penn
= sylvania Railroad company set

I'NhERE Is q peculiar discrepancy
between the report OF the Penn
- sylvania Railroad company set
ting forth an increase in the
number of its idle cars and the activ-
litv of the securities OF that corpor-
alton on Wall street. Notwithstanding
that on March 81 the Pennsylvania
Railroad had 1908 cars, or about %
per cent. of it's entire equipment, idle,
which is considerably in excess OF the
figures for the same month last year
the stocks of that company on the
open market are buoyant and are
quoted at higher figures than at any
time since the present stagnation of
business begun. There is some reason
for this not apparent to the casual
observer.
What is true of Pennsylvania quo
tations is true of almost all of the
listed securities, with the possible eX-
ception of American distilleries.
Everyone of the railroads and big in
dustrial stocks have shown substan-
tial increases in value during the past
several weeks and the gains in Beth
lehem Steel. for instance, have been
so sensational that single operators in
New York have made fortunes in a
day through transactions in the
shares of that corporation.
Evidently those in close touch with
industrial conditions believe that both
railroad and steel stocks are more like
| ly to carry dividends next year than
they were last. This means that Wall
street is speculating on the likelihood
! of an immediate improvement in
business, and those who buy and sell
stocks in large amounts are not given
to risl1ing their money without very
substantial rasons therefor.

THE EXPULSION OF PINcuor

THE newspapers of the country
very properly have declined to
= get excited over the expulsion
of Clifford Pinchot by the Ger
mans from the war zone.
The United States Government has
been put to no indignity thereby. The
late candidate for the United States
Senate went into Belgium on no gov
ernmental mission. To be sure. his
purpose there was for the benefit of
homeless and helpless BeIgians. and
the high personal character of the
man might have been accepted as
guarantee by the Germans. If they had
known him as we'll as do the people of
the United States, that his family con-
nections in England would not have
led him to betray any military Sec
