POOR NEWSPAPER MAN
BY Wing Dlnger

Nearly every friend l have
So 1t seems to me
Has across me run to-day
And poured forth with glee
Tales of fun they're going to have
Decoration Day,
AS at golf, and other games,
All day long they play.
I've just had so much of II
That it's got my goat.
For tomorrow, as they play,
Brother please take note,
will at the office be
Working just the same
l don't care how hard 1t rains;
1t can't spoil my game.

of case that lawyers frame. Profess
sional ethics is stretched to the break
ing point when lawyers and doctors
join forces to prostitute their talents
in this way. One wonders how long
it is to continue.

gospel where the preachers sermon is

Why are the new church edifices

tF'rom the Baltimore Americana
Regrets for the Sussex mishap are
being sent all around. But It still re-
mains a mystery what was done to
that impulsive submarine commander.

That new walk on the river slope at
Muench street is another silent testi-
monial of how not to do it. II the ad-
vice of an engineer was sought, he
must have been of the type that meas
ures with the eye without regard to
consequences. These matters should
have the study of one who knows his
job. Waste of material and labor can
not be excused in this instance.

DO YOU KNOW
Darkness or Light |!

Only mushrooms grow in the
dark. The strong. hardy plants,
the beautiful flowers thrive best
in sunlight.
And it's so with business.
The strong. aggressive, pro-
gressive concerns seek the sun
light and thrive on IL.
They advertise. They make
use of the columns of the daily
newspaper. for they know their
message will be read.
This daylight method of doing
business is a protection to the
public - for people prefer to
trade with advertising merchants
and to buy advertised goods.

eulIOr Oh Jne 1eleBTdpl, maj heu
personal, and of such length that it
cannot all be published:
l have reviewed all of the das-
tardly course of this war by the al
lies, and have showed You that they
Germany has done no more than
fight for her life. You must have
known all this already, yet you go
on Gay after day, blaming Germany
and eXcusing the allies. The allies
have held up our mails and placed
our shipping under an Illegal ban.
Why don't you blame them, and why
do you rave about Germany sink
ing a few ships on which foolish
Americans had no business? Tell
me that won't you?
The position of the Telegraph in
this matter is that of a thousand other
newspapers. When somebody opens
a letter or delays our mafis, 1t is a
matter for argument, adjustment,
possible reparation and sometimes
punishment. But when somebody
murders a little boy next door or one
of our own little ones, argument is
forgotten and we go forth seeing red
and righteously determined that moth
ing but Immediate and extreme
punishment will meet the issue. So it
is with the allies, who interfere with
our mails, and so it is with Germany,
which slays our women and our chill
dren.
Oscar King Davis, reciting in the
Saturday Evening Post of current is
sue an interview he had with a sea
captain whose vessel had been sunk
by a submarine, quotes him as say
ing:
The submarine had come up. then,
and some of the men swan to her
and climbed aboard. | pulled along
side her in my boat, intending to
take some of my men off and to
have another boat get the rest; but
one of the submarine officers came
out and stuck big gun in. my face
and ordered me to shove off or he'd
shoot the lot of us. So we had to
shove off. Then, when our ship sank,
the submarine dived and left our
men in the water We picked up
some of them, but nineteen We're
lost. II was pretty, cold and they
being wet. So when they went in
the second time they didn't last
long.
That is one of the reasons why
Americans at last reached a point
where they could no longer tolerate
the inhuman practices of German
submarine warfare against merchant
shipping.
Again, Mr.. Davis sums up the prime
reason for the hot resentment of
Americans as a whole when he pic
lures on the steamer that brought him
home "a group of little children done
up in their toy life belts" and he
gives a pretty fair idea of the views of
most newspapers when he concludes:
Something about that made the gorge
rise every time it occurred, and does
so even yet in recollection. There is
an infamy about that which those
who are responsible for it can never
outlive."
As between tampering with mails
and murder there is no comparison.
We can arbitrate the former, but we
stand ready to fight against a repeti-
tion of the other, and that is why,
while we have been merely provoked
By the allies, to give the word a COM
mon meaning, we have been enraged
to the point of war with Germany.

OUR POINT OF VIEW

FOLLOWING is the closing part
of a letter addressed to the
editor of the Telegraph, marked
personal. and of such length that it
cannot all be published
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-05-29

The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day
says: THE supporters of the senior
Senator predict his election as Ma
tional Committeeman by a practically
unanimous vote at the meeting of the
State Committee in the morning, and
his selection to head the delegation
to Chicago by a good majority at the
conference to be held in the after
noon. Some of the Ware -Brumbaugh
men may not attend the conference.
None of the reports received from in
terror counties yesterday in any way
changed the status of the State Com
mittee or the national delegate situa-
ton"

There were some interesting poll
tical developments in Philadelphia on
Saturday. The men from Pittsburgh
and other distant counties began to
arrive there for the conferences and
W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Re-
publican State committee, came out
with a statement that Penrose would
win. David Martin, recently elected
Senator, came out with a call for all
Republicans to unite under the leader
ship of Mayor Smith, but Senator Nc
Nichol replied that while he was for
harmony the Wares should cease from
some activities which are making
II ouble.

GIANTS ARE In
DESPERATE NEED
OF MOUNDSMAN
McGraw Willing to Go to
Any Length to Get High
Grade Hurler
ANXIOUS FOR SALLEE

NEW YORK, July EN- desperate straits
for pitchers John McGraw led the Giants
to Pittsburgh last night resolved to go to
any extremes to obtain one or more mound
men of ability. An incipIent fan and cloudy
sky gave McGraw the cue to postpone the
final game scheduled with Brooklyn yes
terday, which caused little disappointment
to players or fans The Off day provided
an opportunity for the players to board an
early train and also gave McGraw chance
to again open negotiations with the st.
Louis Cardinals for the services Of slim"
Sallee.
McGraw is ready to sacrifice some of his
hitting strength for pitchers. He Is willing
to make any kind of deal almost to obtain
Sallee. But st. Louis owners insist that
deal for Sallee must be on strictly cash
basis McGraw Is said to have offered
$4,000 for the eccentric left-hander, and
also report has it that st. Louis is holding
out for considerably more than that.
Inasmuch as Sallee has definitely an
nounced his retirement from baseball and
has not reported to the Cardinals since he
left the club in New York more than three
weeks ago, II Is probable that st. Louis
will accept the $4,000 offer Of the Giants
Sallee is too valuable piece of baseball
property to lose outright. Sallee has said
that he would be willing to play with the
Giants or any other team excepting the
Cardinals.
Although there Is little to base the rumor
on, it is said that Pittsburgh stands ready to
trade a pitcher for an Outfeder. Just
what outfielder McGraw would be willing to
sacrifice to gain an able mound man is not
known
McGraw has little hope that the Giants
will be able to repeat on this trip the
victories on the first extended journey
away from home, when the club won IT
straight games and 10 out Of 21 for the trip.
He does feel that the hitting will improve,
for he still insists that tho unnatural
shadows and dark background at the Polo
Ground are not confined to good batting.

WHITE SOX STAND BETTER
CHANCE OF WINNING PENNANT
THIS YEAR THAN LAST SEASON
At This Stage of Race in 1915 Comiskeyites Were
Beginning to Slump While Now They Just
Have Started to Climb
BY GRANTLAND RICE

THERE are more than one or two who
L refuse to take the New York Yankees
and the Cleveland Indians seriously as pen
nant contenders. But these details should
be held in mind: The Yanks and Indians
have been up at the top despite the fact
that both clubs have had the toughest luck
in their league--the toughest luck in the
game.
In addition to Gilhooley, out with a
broken leg, and Maisel, out with broken
arm, the Yanks have suffered the loss Of
such men as Baker, Magee, Nunamaker,

cheers there are. And the ball club that

was fairly sure to win. Now we confess to
a tumble that Is well beyond our limited
ken.
Moran and the Scrapheap
Frank Moran already has been consigned
to the scrapheap by a considerable crop Of
experts. But one bad battle doesn't make
a bum Moran made the big mistake OF
thinking that good big man''--ln poor
condition-could trim good little man"
lin the well.known pink Of punching form.
1t was n mistake that cost him copious
quantities of gore. but It yet hasn't elimi-
mated Frank as a heavyweight contender
against the day of Willard's forced retire
ment through a surplus OF weight.
Moran still has his chance by keeping his
own weight down and by working ahead,
with his eye still on the goal. He never will

tion.
The Second Intersectional
We have with us today the second inter-
sectional: meaning the second clash of bats
by the West and the East.
