LEARNING THE TRUTH

PRESIDENT WILSON, who has
Il been expressing absolute conf
dence of his own reelection.
is no longer so cocksure of a Demo-
cratic victory in November.
Mr.. Wilson has made it a rule never
to read any criticism of himself and
as he is not an agreeable recipient of
unpleasant news, his advisers have
carefully refrained from telling him
much of the popular view of himself
and his administration. The Maine
election, therefore. proved an eye
opener to him. He had accepted the
assurances of Josephus Daniels and
his friend Samuel Untermyer that
all was well and that Maine would
elect two Democratic senators, a gov
ernor and four members of the House.
Now that Mr.. Wilson realizes be-
yond all possibility of a doubt that
Republicans have been elected to all
these Offices, and that the most pains
taking scrutiny OF the Maine vote re-
veals nothing but strong indication
Of his own defeat In November, he is

THE NEWS IMPROVES

T ATE reports from the New York
l. primaries, in which Governor
Whitman was overwhelmingly
nominated and those Progressives
who have been widely advertised as
supporting President Wilson, includ-
ing cambridge Colby, went down to
ignominous defeat. are most encour-
aging from a Republican viewpoint.
These Demo- Progressive had named
Judge Seabury as the Progressive pri-
mary candidate against Governor
Whitman. Out of total Progressive
enrolment of 46.206. only 5,s06 Pro-
gressive votes were cast for Judge
Seabury.
The Progressives in New York had
received every possible aid from the
Democratic managers. who fully ap-
preciated the political value to them
Of a strong showing of Progressive
disaffection against Hughes. The only
result is that those Progressives who
are off the reservation went down in
a smashing defeat.

The Next World

I never worry over what I'll do or
how / shall feel in the next world. 1t
is written that the Lord tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb. If He is so
mindful of a sheep He will surely
know how to take care of an old
woman who has just lost her body and
her mortal bearings. However, we
never have a death in this town that
the bereaved ones do not begin to
question the providence of God to find
out why He took this particular son or
husband or father. And they never do
find out ! do not admire Job. He
must have been the Thomas Carlyle of
the Old Testament. with remarkable
literary gifts, but so cantankerous and
mean that I've always wondered what
his boasted integrity could have been.
But he did know how to behave with
dignity when his sons andIdaughters
perlshed. THE Lord gave and the
Lord hath taken away; blessed be the
name of the Lord" That is as good a
way as any of disposing of the whole
matter, though 1T places more respon-
sibility upon him than the facts war

BIG REPUBLICAN VICTORY

ID ETURNs of the enrolment Of
IN voters in Dauphin county out
side the city of Harrisburg verify
the predictions OF political observers
that Dauphin county will go heavily
Republican at the coming elections.
The figures show that 1926 have
registered as Republicans and that
the Republicans outnumber the Demo-
Gratis. who have a total registration
of only S.279; the Progressives. with
total of only s6s; the nonpartisans.
with an enrolment of 1857. and the
members Of all other parties, by 1897.
In other words. there are N ,297 more
Republicans enrolled in Dauphin
county outside Harrisburg than there
are members of all other parties COM
bined, including the nonpartisan.
When the city registration is tabu-
lated, this majority will be materially
increased.
But these figures do not tell the
whole story. It is fair to assume that
fifty per cent. of the independents will
vote the Republican ticket That is
conservative in the light of recent
election figures, and it is safe to pre-
dict that Mr.. Hughes will receives at
least half the enrolled Progressive
votes. which would give the head of
the Republican ticket in the county
outside of the city an estimated ma
jority OF at least S,ss7. Those who
are familiar with conditions say it will
be much more than that.
The prospects are bright for a
sweeping Republican victory in Dau-
phin county and the State at large.
Every indication points in that direc-
ton and the claims of Democratic
leaders that Pennsylvania is debat-
able ground" are pure piffle. Penn
sylvania was never more strongly Re-
publican than at this time and Mr..
Hughes will receive a majority here
that will astound even his most en-
thusiastic admirers.

Scouts and over 200 Wolf Cubs gave
wild shout as only Scouts can cheer!
This was the glorious climax of the
great day, which will rank as the
greatest event in the annals of the
Bristol Boy Scouts.
For weeks ''the rally had been in
preparation. When Saturday opened

that "Scoutland" was in for a good

odd troops of Scouts made their
umn of Girl Guides. looking very
smart and businesslike, marched to
their allotted position. 1t was an open
secret that the Lady Chief, Lady
Baden-Powell, was to be present and
desired to see the Girl Guides. Then
came more Scouts and yet more from
each of the four districts of the city,
north, south, east and west, banners
flying and bands playing.
The lord mayor and lady mayoress
preceded the arrival of Sir Robert
and Lady Baden Powell, and when the
Chief Scout stepped into the semicir-
cular rally ground not a Scout was to
be seen-only the puDllc VINO had
come in their thousands to see the fun.
The commissioner, Colonel Cromme-
lin, raised his hand, bugles rang out,
and hey presto! Boy Scouts sprang

for the Chief Scout at the double, and
