LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AMERICA, PEACEMAKER

To the EdH0T OF hc IciegTdfh:
After the war what? Most likely a
defensive alliance for all the Euro
pean States will be the outcome of
this last great war among them. a
certain section of these warning ma
tions who trusted in the power of
might to conquer and rule all the
world, as we'll as the remaining ones
who believed only less in the power of
arms and armament, will thus be led
to see that the brotherhood of man is
the basic principle of all permanent
peace.
Awful as the present experience of
Europe is, it has probably hastened by
hundreds of years the universal ac-
acknowledgement and adoption of the
principle that right. not might, is. the
best law for the welfare of nations
has been decisive of nothing) an un-
necessary and useless conflict, that can
only result in the exhaustion of these
self-same Powers and the century,
long misery of the great masses of all
these peoples? If new Hague con-
ference were to sit continuously until
the peoples of these countries COM
PEELED their rulers to submit their diff
ferences to it's decision. peace might
come sooner than anyone would I'M
agine. What. greater role could
take this decisive step. and work for 1t
necessarily until it's fulfllment came?
Yours very truly.

COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING

TN the past year or more the Tele-
graph has had the pleasure of be-
ing the instrument through which
number of new and somewhat novel
cooperative advertising plans have
been placed before the people. The
first of these was the "Go-to-Church"
campaign of the associated churches,
the second the insurance advertising
of the Central Pennsylvania Associa-
ton of Life Underwriters, now run
ming, and the third is the cooperative
and collective advertising of the Up
town Merchants Association, the ini-
tial publication Of which appeared yes
terday. The appearance of this class
of advertising is significant of the
new attitude of businessmen toward
each other, and it is indicative of a
movement destined, beyond doubt, to
play large part in the advertising of
he future. Cut-throat competition is
ment. This does not mean that the
unquestioned benefits of fair compe-
tition are to be abandoned for mono
polistic methods and uniform prices,
but that competition is to be made
secondary to service, and at the same
time be placed on the high plane of
personal salesmanship.
These pioneers in cooperative ad-
vertising point the way to others who
have a common commodity or service
10 sell, but who find it impossible to
advertise on a scale sufficiently ex-
tensive to bring their propositions
prominently and impressively before

I've friend who wrote some poetry
And submitted it to me,
Which by publishing below. friend,
l am passing on to thee.
I'm the dim pale gray of morning,
When the chilly zephyrs play
Through the sheets and likewise
blankets
Then you wish that it was day.
Long you squirm and huddle closer
To yourself and all the while
You are hoping. you are praying
With a melancholy smile.
That some one with human feeling
And a philanthropic mind
Will come in and close the window,
But that one you never find,
Man is weak and heavy-laden,
But when all is done and said,
Why don't you put on a bathrobe
Just before you jump in bed?"
Author of these verses. hear me,
That's the curse of single life.

Is closed by the kid or wife

THE STATE FROM DAY TO DAY

The people of Bucks County marry
young, if we are to judge from the
ages of those who took out licenses in
that county during the month of No
vember. Forty-eight We're issued, and
over one-half of the men were be-
tween II and % years of age. Twen-
ty.one of the brides held positions
and one-siXth of the parents of appl-
cants were born abroad.
Miss Jennie Fromal, of Chester,
refused to be kissed at kissing game
held at masquerade party early in
November and the peeved youngster
who was refused the kiss pushed her
a little too roughly into the next room.
Now he is worried for fear the re-
sulting fall which she had may have
caused her death yesterday, but ply
sicians say it was due to typhoid.

uniform, replacing the blue suits now
worn by the student regiment at that

they will be more suitable for military

Governor Brumbaughs selection of
Charles Fl. Young as referee for the
Workmen's Compensation Bureau in
the district about New Castle has elic-
tied an outburst of joyous appreciation
from that section. II the ap-
pointee's findings and decisions,
when the law is put into operation, are
on par with the reception which his
appointment got, there will be no criti-
cism of the Governor.
The recently organized Upper Lip

house plant when he decides to do
away with the unnecessary bodyguard
which has been an adjunct to the may

to be congratulated upon his display
of good common sense.
The light snow that prevailed the
other morning brought delight to the
Mexican school teachers who are visit
ing Philadelphia to study the system
of education in vogue there. Snow is
a novelty to the visitors, so they in
dulged themselves, while they had the
chance, in tasting the flakes and pelt-
| ing each other with snowballs, to the
delight of dignified onlookers.

It must be conceded that the laws for
the protection of wild life are begin

promises still better results through
the propagation of game and the pro-
lection of the forest reserves.

HARRISBURG REAL EsTATE

IT ought to be clear to the average
citizen that Harrisburg is upon the
verge of another big forward
movement in its development. While
a large improvement program was
practically concluded with the work
of the present year, there is much yet
to be done and a general disposition
among the people to do it, The results
of the three campaigns of the last tif-
teen years have proven so satisfactory
to all the people that plans for the
future expansion of Harrisburg are
receiving city-wide attention.
Owing to the somewhat depressed
industrial and commercial market for
several years the real estate develop
ment has been arrested to some en-
tent, but Notwithstanding the deter
rent conditions a number of promi
nent builders have continued their ac-
tivities and in a proper spirit have
met the requirements of the city's
growing population. Basing their
plans upon more active business in
1916 real estate interests are prepar-
Z
to come. 1t is said that large tracts
of vacant land are to be improved and
that the opening and improvement of
streets will provide further opportuni-
ties for building in all parts of the
city.
1t is fortunate that the City Plan
ming Commission must now pass upon
all plans for the development of new
tracts and this fact will safeguard the
city from serious blunders of former
years. Up to comparatively recent
period it was the custom of owners of
vacant land to open streets and alleys
and establish building lines without
very much regard to the contiguous
territory and the result was lament
able to the last degree. The situation
was accentuated by still more care
less development in the suburban dis
tricts and Harrisburg has paid the
price for permitting adjacent terri
tory to grow up in haphazard manner
when it was evident that such districts
were destined to be annexed to the
city.
1t is also a favorable indication
of better conditions that the real es-
tate interests are themselves awaken
ing to the importance of concerted and
intelligent cooperation. The organi-
zation of the Harrisburg Real Estate
Board is a step in the right direction
and this board, cooperating with the
city Planning Commission, can do
much to remedy serious defects Of the
city's development in the past.
