The races will begin February

AWARD IN THE sToUGH CASE
[Wilkes-Barre Record ]

Until the award of the three arbi-
traitors in the case of William ]. Gull
len of Hazleton against Evangelist
Slough is reviewed by the Court of
Common Pleas, and POSSIBLY by a
higher court, the case will not be fin
ally determined. The verdict rem
dered by the arbitrators is not near the
amount claimed by the plaintiff for
alleged slander upon his character,
but that is immaterial. The arbitra-
tors establish the fact of SANDER and
that aspect of the case is to be dealt
with. There is no doubt that the
evangelist in deciding upon an appeal
is more concerned about the charge
that he took unwarranted liberties in
speech than about the money end of
the affair.
The arbitrators give as one of their
reasons ''the further fact that the de-
fendant made the attack from what
appears to have been a mercenary
standpoint" They assume that DR..
Slough endeavored to make his evan
gelistic meetings sensational for the
money there was in such methods. It
is deplorable that men of the standing
and intelligence of the board of arbi-
traitors should have rushed to such
conclusions. There is nothing in the
testimony to indicate that DIR. Slough
is conducting evangelistic campaigns
Ssolely for the financial profit he or
anyone else can get out of them. If
we are to judge men engaged in re-
ligious and moral work solely by the
money they receive. we must lose
faith in all evangelistic and ministerial
effort. Men of the Slough type are
at least entitled to the benefit of the
doubt.
Whether DIR. Slough took unwar-
ranted liberties in addressing a public
assemblage, by exaggerating facts and
by making serious charges rejecting
upon the character and the official
conduct of men in office without au-
thentic information, is another ques-
| tion. Evangelists and ministers are
not privileged persons. They must
not speak or write about such affairs
without being sure of their ground.
If they do they lay themselves liable
to prosecution. A person cannot be
stigmatized as a protector of brothels
and gambling joints and houses of
prostitution unless there is tangible
evidence to that effect, however great
suspicion may be.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. Is
God is seen God
A CITY BEAUTIFUL

CUCH an impulse will be given the
y esthetic development of Harris
burg by the approaching muni-
cipal celebration that we confidently
may expect all the civic organizations
to cooperate during the winter in
such plans as will assure an even
more attractive city of homes next
year.
1t has been proposed by the Tele-
graph that the city be divided into
sections and these sections organized
by chairmen and secretaries with a
view to establishing porch and win
dow boxes for flowers, the promotion
Of grass plots along the streets and
sidewalks the covering of factory
buildings and plants with vines and
the general decoration of the city in
this beautiful and wholesome way.
Such rivals as would follow commu-
nifty effort of this sort must inevitably
result in most attractive city.
During the winter is the time to
consider the best sort of planting, the
kind of window and porch boxes to
necessary to effective work. This
newspaper has offered prizes through
the Civic Club for the best porch win
dow and porch planting and it is
hoped that with general cooperation
and organization the city may become
famous for it's floral decoration dur
ing a large part of the year. Fol-
lowing the example of the beautiful
window adornment of the Telegraph
Building for several years owners of
other buildings have likewise placed
window boxes with blooming flowers
and vines, a noticeable effect along
this line being the Arcade building at
Walnut and Court streets.
Any suggestion looking to a gen.
eral campaign of this character will
be cheerfully published by the Tele-
graph for the benefit of those who are
considering porch and window decora-
ton for next season.

SCHOOLS ARE TRAINING CAMPS
And Parents Should Know More About
the Drill Tint Goes On

The United States is now assembling
an army of some 20 million-not men,
but boys and girls. The training
camps" for hosts of these will be rural
schoolhouses and the commanders in
charge country teachers. AS the many
school bells call these boys and girls
not to arms but to books-we may prop
erly inquire into the conditions under
which they are to be trained.
If the schoolhouse is not what II
should be, and if the teacher is lacking
in many of the qualities that every
teacher should possess. 1T may now be
fects, but there is much that can be
done. The weeds can be cut and the
stubs dragged down. The we'll or els
tern can be cleaned out, as each year
typhoid cases originate in many rural
schools. The floor and woodwork OF
the interior of the building can be thor
oughly cleaned or freshened with paint
Most important of all. sanitary toilet
facilities can be provided.
II your boy were in a soldier training
camp only a few miles from your farm
you would occasionally go over to camp
to see him drill. would you not? What,
girl who five days in the week goes
from the farm home to the educational
training camp? You should know
something of the ideas and ideals OF
the commander, as they will one day
likely be those of your child. More
knowledge regarding rural schools
will result in better schools.
Depreciation is the difference between
what you paid for your auto and what
it is worthwhile Herald.

DUTY OF THE CITIZEN

TT is gratifying to know that the
J. Telegraphs protest against the
unfair, unjust and wholly sense
less criticism OF the Republican heads
of the three constructive departments
of the municipal government has met
the approval of large part of the
fair-minded community. Primary
heat and the complaints of disgruntled
persons should count for little against
reasonable public service and the citi-
zens of Harrisburg are more con-
cerned as to how their affairs are
administered than they are about the
political ambitions of individuals or
groups of individuals. Commissioners
Taylor, Lynch and Bowman have
learned in the two years of their term
the needs of the city, the difficulties
which are to be overcome in the COM
mission form of government and the
eral departments. Surely it will not
be contended that they are less quail
Iified to continue their work than any
one of the several candidates who are
seeking their offices. AS to the fourth
member of the commission who is to
be chosen at the November elections
the people must determine which one
of the several candidates is best fitted
for the work that will be entailed
upon him.
Harrisburg must take no backward
step and care should be exercised that
in the excitement of primary cam
paign the real interests of the city
are not impaired. Every citizen who
believes that the city must go forward
in its development ought to inform
himself as to the work of the several
departments, how it has been carried
forward and whether there is any ad-
vantage in constant changing of of
fcials.
Business men are not accustomed to
training important heads of depart
ments for exacting and difficult duties
and then when these subordinates be-
come efficient drop them for other
unframed employees who simply PROM
Use to do better than the experienced
men whose places they seek If the
old employees are not efficient and
have not properly performed their
duties, then they should be displaced
and the ordinary business man has
no hesitation in making a change;
but he ie usually pretty careful about
dropping the old for the new employee
Harrisburg is just on the edge of
another step forward in its expansion
and those who will administer its af-
fairs for the next few years ought to
be men full of pride in their city and
determined to give their best services
to the community which they are
chosen to serve. Let the "hot-airing"
and scheming and political wire pull
ing go on; 1t is part OF the atmos-
phere of American politics, but the
thoughtful citizen should keep an eve
on the city's interests and not listen
too much to the siren song of petty
personal ambition.

The Evening Ledger, OF Philadelphia,
last evening celebrated its first anniver-
sary. In the brief space of twelve
months the Ledger has become not only
a great newspaper, but a force that
must be reckoned with in the public
affairs OF the Quaker City. Clean,
strong, fearless, bright, interesting.
informative and entertaining. II is a
delight at once to the trained newspa-
perman and the general reader. Fol-
lowing the Mpnsey failure and several
other dismal attempts to float a new
evening newspaper in Philadelphia it
required courage. conviction and capi-
tai and a thorough knowledge of the
needs and aspirations of the people Of
Philadelphia to do what those back of
the Evening Ledger did. The results.
however, have justified their judgment.
The experiment has succeeded. The
Evening Ledger has come to stay, and
1t is an addition we'll worth while to
the newspaper world.
