The Victim

Don't cry, little baby, that milk strikes
are on,
That mon who are struggling in
greed,
Hear not your faint wall as the hun
ger pangs press,
Who are deaf to the plant of your
need.
Cease struggling with strength that is
puny and weak
With the force of a giant-like might:
A song bird that futters in clutch of
hawk
So slight is your need in the pressure
that's on
For chance to pile up golden store,
'Tis trampled with scarcely a knowl-
edge it's there,
AS the eager crowds rush on for
more.
1t lies like field flower. crushed by
the storm
That no one gives even look;
Shall baby hands hold back the iron
Which armies attacks would not
brook?
Don't cry, little baby, but weakly sub
NIT,
This world is but trouble and strife,
With the strong to the front and the
weak to the wall.
'Tis better your pitiful life
Should flicker and fade in the merci-
less nav
or the Moloch of business-like gain
For then you are safe from bitterer
fate,
And shorter your portion of pain.

lust ONE SHARE

.WoNDHh how many of the De0-
w pie of Harrisburg fail to realize
that the million dollar hotel is
to be the elimination Of the efforts of
years and the filing of a demand as
wide as the country! This city has
suffered more than many Of our peo-
pie know from inadequate hotel ia
cilities and while the fame of Harris
burg has spread In every direction by
reason of its unrivaled location, its
splendid parks and Fairgrounds, its
wonderful rivar basin and its many
unsurpassed advantages, the absence
of the hotel that is so greatly needed
has diminished the enthusiasm which
was aroused by all the other good
things.
Now we are to have the hotel Just
as soon as the plans can be adopted
and the builder obtained. But those
who are laboring so earnestly to bring
about this great Improvement are
striving in every way to make a record
Of building hotel without one cent of
debt in the way of bonds or other OBJ
legations. While many have sub
scribers of one or more shares, SO that
those at the head of the movement are
anxious to secure hundreds of sub
scrtbers OF one or more shares 50 that
the undertaking may have the char
acter of community proposition. :
Surely, few citizens of Harrisburg
will find it hardship to subscribe to
one share of stock to the value of
fifty dollars, payable in installments
over period Of fifteen months be-
ginning January 1. 1917. So inter-
ested are the Chamber of Commerce
people in this matter that they have
set apart next Friday for whirlwind
campaign, in which hundreds of pub
lic-spirited men will engage to wait
upon all our people who are interested
in the hotel with a view to obtaining
the final subscriptions. It ought not
to be necessary for these men to give
of their time and effort in a matter
OF this sort, but they have cheerfulIy
agreed to do so in order that the hotel
directors may feel free to complete all
their plans without delay.

NTR. ROOTS New York speech
lVl should be placed in the hands
Of every American voter. 1t is
not only an effective campaign docu-
ment, 1t is a classic. In 1t Mr.. Root,
with logic beyond challenge, by vivid
illustration and lucid language, an
alyzed the Wilson administration. He
showed the estimate in which, as a
result of the Wilson foreign policy. the
United States has come to be held by
foreign powers and the danger which
that estimate involves.
I'VE are told that Mr.. Wilson has
kept the country out of war;" he said
at one point. so has every President
for seventy years. except Lincoln and
Mckinley. Never since Columbus
sighted San Salvador has there been
a time when it was so easy for Amer
lea to keep out of war by doing moth
Ing as it has been during the great
conflict now raging in the old world.
All the great powers of the world. ex-
cept ourselves, have had their hands
full with existing enemies. They have
peSu StrdlnlnB every TeSOuTCe 10 the
utmost to avoid being conquered by
the enemies in arms against them.
Our danger is not now, while the great
war is raging, but later, when peace
has been made and the great armies
are free and rulers and governments
look about for ways to repair their
losses, and the great spaces and ILL
defended wealth of the new world
loom large on the horizon of their
Desires ss,taA -tsa .as5 -'
Without bitterness. but with telling
force, Mr.. Root traced the course of
the Wilson administration. He de-
clared that the great Safeguard of a
nation was its reputation for character
and manliness and courage, and that
with such reputation gone it was al
most certain to be SO imposed upon
by foreign aggressors as to make war
unacceptable.

DR.. Eliot and Mr.. Wilson

No one has higher regard for the
clarity of Mr.. Eliot's mind, for the su-
periority of his intelligence, and for
the genuineness of his courageous
patriotism than the editors of the
outlook; but, even taking at its face
value his presentation of the debit and
credit account of President Wilson,
we cannot follow in his conclusions
No number of specific and detached
economic laws can make up for the
fundamental corruption of an adminis-
trative system by the reintroduction
of the spoils system under some in
visible compulsion or supposed neces-
sity,' nor can the passage of the Fed
eral Reserve law and the rural credits
act cover up the fact that the Wilson
Administration in Washington has
been one of the most expensive and
extravagant in the history of the coun-
try. We are of those Americans to
whom Mr.. Eliot refers who wish that
the President would publicly abandon
the neutral state of mind which he
recommended to the American people
at the outset of the war" But we
cannot agree with Mr.. Eliot that this
is an error resulting from too great
reticence and caution" 1t is an er-
ror which President Wilson repeated
deliberately in his address before the
League to Enforce Peace, when he
said or the European war:
with its causes and its object we
are not concerned. The obscure foun-
tains from which its stupendous flood
has burst forth we are not interested
to search for or explore"
This is not an error of reticence and
caution. 1t is the error of a man who
does not see straight or think straight,
and we cannot support such a man.
No matter how good his specific and
detached acts may be, no matter how
fine his aspirations or how upright
his personal character, the admins
trntive leader of q great nation like
the American Republic must be q man
who sees clearly and thinks consis-
tently. If Mr.. Wilson had made as
many mistakes, had changed his mind
as often, and had been as untrue to his
own convictions" in the administration
of Harvard University as he has in
the administration of the United
States Government, we respectfully
ask Mr.. Eliot IL he would advocate
Mr.. wilson's retention as president of
Harvard.-The Outlook.

are due to conditions created
by the war. Republicans and
all others who are familiar with the
currents of trade are not deceived
by the Democratic pretensions of sub
stantial prosperity which rests solely
upon abnormal conditions abroad
With the close of the war these tenn
porary conditions will give place to a
situation which is now giving the
greatest concern to those who look
ahead and who are endeavoring to
provide for the slump that is bound
to follow unless a protective tariff
along Republicans lines is placed up
on the statute books as barrier to
the cheap products of Europe.
It has been shown over and over
again during the last six months that
American people have lost heavily
through the removal Of the protective
tariff. A continuance of the present
erratic administration at Washington
would bring about results that are
too serious to treat with anything
save the most grave consideration.
