Return From P1attsbure

Last night with my kit in a muddle,
Last night as l lay in the rain,
Last night with my head in q puddle,
] swore | was coming again!"
This is said, on authentic informa-
ton from the front, to be the spirit
that dominates the Philadelphians
who, leaving lives of comfort and
relative ease, have been undergoing
the primitive army life at Plattsburg
and have found that as they sIoughed
on the superficial accouterments of
civil life there came real enjoyment
and contentment in the heavy army
outfit, despite the hikes and the rigors
OF camp life. To endure hardships
under. strict discipline and to want to
go again is proof positive that the
camp at Plattsburg has a high physi-
cal as well as o spiritual value. 1t
also proves that those who are ready
to sacrifice themselves for their coun-
try are not those who have nothing
to lose, as the phrase goes, but those
who have everything to lose in giving
up all professional, public, social and
intellectual activities. all those things
that are supposed to mean 50 much
10 us all, for the camp and the field
under conditions that IN actual war
might mean the last brief chapter in
useful, well-spent life. 1t is this sort
OF thing that has made the Platts-
burg movement a yearly lesson in a
patriotism that as its spirit permeates
and leavens the general mass of citi-
zenship cannot but be productive of
the greatest good.-Phila. Ledger.

THE FALL OPENING

VOU owe it to yourself and to the
i business men of the city to attend
the Fall opening this evening.
The merchants have spent the past
week preparing for your entertain
ment. They have searched the mar
kets for the most desirable mercban-
disc. They have decked their stores
and their windows in the best their
shops afford. They have turned the
shopping districts into great merchan-
dising bazars, to which you are per-
sonelly invited as the guest of honor.
Harrisburg in the past ten years has
progressed wonderfully in many direc-
uons. but in none more than in the
development of its stores. The old.
dimly-hghted, poorly-ventilated store
room and display window have given
way to the modern, metropolitan shop
and store front. Window dressing has
become fine art. New methods of
lighting have helped wonderfully in
turning night into day in the business
district. Our shopping centers always
look well. but they will be doubly at
tractive tonight under the stimulus of
the friendly competition that has
prompted merchants in their endeavors
TO outdo each other In decorating
their places of business.
The exhibition of mercantile enter
prise will be well worth seeing. It was
made for you. Don't miss it.

Old Jinks is much disgruntled by

I wonder to myself at times IL I'm a

For Woodrow said the time had come
thar warn't nothin' in it.
But Hughes is voicin what 1 thought

I didn't dare to tell myself the dangers
that 1 saw.
We've put ourselves within the grip by
that thar legislation
OF men who may get strong enough to
run our busted nation;
We didn't have no facts at all but pass
ed the law on trust;
l kicked bit, but what's the use when
Woodrow says you must?
They're got their kings in Europe,
their employers and princes,
Whose orders are obeyed in full though
every subject winces;
But when ] get to bed at night and view
them from afar
1t seems to me that Woodrow is more

RoTARIANs SUPPORT HOTEL
TINE endorsement of the new hote


project by the Harrisburg Ro-
tary Club brings to the support
of that movement the brains and ener-
gies of one OF the livest organizations
in the city; an organization with a
long line of successes to look back
upon and not one failure. The club
numbers within its membership many
men capable of subscribing generously
to the stock of the new enterprise, but
aside from that the club has the con-
fidence of the public and it's influence
reaches far beyond its membership, so
that the committee to be named to
cooperate with the hotel committee
of the Chamber of Commerce will be
able to bring into the hotel company
come interested.
The Rotarians will never regret
their action. They thereby have iden-
titled their organization with an un-
dertaking that will reflect credit upon
everybody connected Herewith. a
new hotel is essential If Harrisburg is
10 advance in the future as it has in
the past fifteen years, and it is like
Harrisburg to go about meeting their
need in the spirit of neighborhood CO.
operation that has characterized every
important development the city has
experienced since the first public i'm
provement loan was advocated.
But aside from that, the new hotel
promises to be a business proposition
of a very substantial nature. Men
noted for their ability to make money
have put much into it. They do not
however, look upon their subscriptions
merely as contributions TO the welfare
of the city, but in the light of profit
earning investments. They invite
others in on the same basis The
hotel does not propose to pay interest
on an immense bond issue, but to turn
its earnings into dividends for its
owners. 1t is not often that the busi-
nessman has an opportunity to benefit
his city. help his own business and
make what promises to be a profitable
investment all at one and the same
time.
\ few men have started the enter
prise. 1t remains for the great mass
of patriotic Harrisburg citizens to
put it through. The hotel should be
a Harrisburg institution in every
sense of the word and the way to
make it so is for every Harrisburger
with $50 or more to invest to go into
the company now forming. With the
Rotary Club and the Chamber of
Commerce pulling together there
should be no difficulty in raising the
round million dollars desired.

MILITARY SERVICE OF MORE
VALUE THAN WAR-TRAINING

tory nations who listen only to such
demands when they are backed by
sufficient force. .,..
Universal military training does not
involve militarism; it does not encour-
age it, On the contrary, it is an anti
dote for militarism, in that it culti-
Yates the patriotic spirit, develops
physical and mental qualities of the
young men, inculcates discipline and
in a democracy creates a protection
against the armed forces of the world
More than three months ago Con-
gress passed a resolution providing for
the enlistment of 10000 volunteers for
possible use on the Southern border
Efforts have been made to get re-
cruits at all the stations in the Unit
ed States, with the result that not
half of the proposed increase has
been raised.
What lesson is to be drawn from
failure to get volunteers at a time
when trouble with Mexico has seemed
imminent? Clearly, if the American
people are to learn anything from
this it is that we must look to a train
ed citizen-soldiery for the nations de-
Tense in time of war.
aside from the question of the crea-
ton of a reserve, compulsory military
training will have a most salutary
effect upon the young men in that 1t
will develop them physically. even
against their WILL at a time in their
lives when physical development is
most essential. 1t will teach them re-
spect for law and order, a most es-
sential lesson to be learned by Amer
lean youth. 1t will instill lessons of
patriotism which, thanks to the low
ers of peace ce-at-any-price, has been
waning these latter years; and last,
but not least, it will cultivate the
spirit which animated our forefath-
ers when they threw off the British
yoke.
''It will do away with the necessity
of large standing army in times of
peace. 1t will cultivate the martial
and patriotic spirit and tend more
than anything else to destroy the So
called military spirit, enabling this
country. like Switzerland, in time of
need, to call upon a trained civilian
force for the protection of its insti-
-tutions and its life"

THE BLACK SPOT HE CANNOT RUB OU'
TELEGRAPH PERISCOPE

Minnesota hunters cleaned up
$4,000 by killing 1000 wolves in the
past fifteen months. Think what a
crowd like that would do in Wall
street
How opportune it is for the Presi-
dent to display again his remarkable
talent for letter writing that another
lot of Americans have been torpedoed
by the Germans. who had promised
that they were through with that
sort of thing.
-Hindenburg suggests that the
Emperor confine himself to speech
making and hospital work. We
thought hospital work had been one
of the Kaiser's chief talents, judging
from the lists of German wounded.
The eugenists now advocate the
killing of delicate babies. and If that
works out all right we might apply
the same method to some of the en-
genists.
-Elihu Root wants unemployed
lawyers employed on the farms. but
We guess the farmers would have
something to say about that.

TINE widespread interest aroused
in universal military train
ing by the woeful failure of the
present militia system of the United
States as evinced in the vain call for
volunteers to serve on the Mexican
border, finds expression in the fol-
lowing article by George e. Cham
berlain, chairman Senate military al
fairs committee, recently published in
Pulitzer's Review:
There is only one way to create a
sufficient and a thoroughly efficient
reserve to be utilized in case our
country becomes involved in war with
any first-class military power. 1t can
only be done through universal mill
tary training, and here it Is proper
to differentiate between universal
military training and universal mill
tary service. To compel the young
men of the country to learn how to
care for themselves in time of war
does not mean that when war comes
they shall be compelled to serve. Ser
vice may depend upon subsequent leg
islation, but universal military train
ing can be put into effect now, and
every young man in the country, be-
tween the ages of twelve and twenty
one, can be instructed fully in the du-
ties of a soldier.
'It Is the most democratic way to
a.
of emergency. 1t would compel the
rich and poor alike, the employer and
the employee. to understand that they
owe a duty to their country as con-
sideration for the privileges which
are accorded to them as citizens and
the protection afforded life and prop
erty by the laws of the land. We
must eventually come to universal
military training If we would have q
reserve which can be called upon to
volunteer, or, If need be, compelled to
serve when danger is threatened from
without.
ITO this system Switzerland is in
debted for the maintenance of it's in
tegrity as republic, surrounded
though 1t is by warning nations. To
this system Australia looks for pro-
lection against the world. To it Am
erica must look for the perpetuity of
it's institutions and for the enforce
ment of just demands against predo

MORE ACTION: LESS Talk

WHETHER or not the ornamen-
wv tai lighting for Federal Square
or North Third street or the
riprapping of the River Front or any
other project which has been hanging
fire all summer shall be authorized by
City Council. it would seem only fair
to the people of Harrisburg that diIly-
dallying on these matters should
cease.
One of the weaknesses of the com
mission form of government is that the
administrative heads also constitute
the legislative body and as a result the
everlasting log-roiling and conferring
and side-stepping involve loss of valu-
able time with the likelihood of need
less damages and expenses. Action
should go hand in hand with discus
sion. Some projects have been talked
almost to death during the present
season.

Keeping Customers After War

We have had prosperity thrust upon
up in the United States. We have done
except that as the demand for our
goods has come we have tried to meet
1t just as the man behind the counter
in the country store tried to fill the
order of the customer in front of the
counter who has dropped into the store.
1t turns out that we are about the only
store open in the place and everybody
in the world comes here IL they want
anything. That would be an ideal thing
in business way IT, it were ALWAYS
dition which will last only as long as
the war does. After that, other stores
will be opened and they will be run
on the most efficient lines to attract

THAT WEST SHORE HIGH SCHOOL

TINE West Shore communities are
going forward by leaps and
bounds. Camp Hill is going
to pave its main thoroughfare. East
Pennsboro township and Enola are
putting up new schools and scores of
handsome homes are being built. But
by far the most important step taken
in recent years was the decision last
night to place before the voters of the
central boroughs and townships the
proposal to erect joint high school.
The success of this movement will
mean much to every property owner
and everybody residing in the district
affected who has children of school
age. Lack of proper school facilities
has held back the cross river COM
munities more than any one other
thing. That handicap removed and
Harrisburg will have to look to its
laurels
1t is surprising that all of the towns
comprising what has come to be
known as the West Shore group have
not come into the movement. Certain
it is that all who remain out will one
day wish they had Joined at the be-
ginning.

Take the number or your living

multiply by five, add number of living
sisters, multiply by 10, add number of
brothers and sisters not living and
subtract $50 from the result. The

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

HVEN Pittsburgh is getting ready
L. to abate its smoke nuisance and
the inspiration of such a move
ment in the Smoky City ought not to
be lost upon Harrisburg at this time.
What is known in Pittsburgh as THE
Smoke and Dust Abatement League"
made up of twelve educational and
civic organizations. began this week a
careful survey of the countless stacks
and chimneys in the Pittsburgh manu-
featuring district in preparation for
the first smoke abatement week. which
will be observed beginning October %.
This movement is headed by the chief
mechanical engineer of the arsenal
station of the Federal Bureau of Mines
and its object is to impress upon the
users of coal the necessity of improved
methods in fuel consumption to the
end that smoke be lessened and addi-
tional power gained.
As emphasizing the work of the
league, there will be public meetings
addressed by smoke experts from lead
ing cities and it is confidently expected
prove the conditions. which are in
finitely better because of an anti-smoke
movement several year ago.
Harrisburg has suffered greatly from
smoke and SCOT since the big anthra-
cite coal strike a few years ago. Pre-
vious to that time comparatively little
soft coal was used in the city, but it Is
a lamentable fact that now many pri-
vate owners of apartment houses. fac
tories and even private dwelling houses
are using the soft fuel.
Public utilities cannot always be
reached in matters of this sort. but
there is no reason for a continuance
of a nuisance which is simply a meas
ure of economy for one element of the
community at the expense of the other.
After nightfall in Harrisburg the
belching chimneys send a pail of SCOT
all over the city and the resultant
effect upon buildings and homes is a
subject of general complaint.
If Pittsburgh can so greatly reduce
this nuisance. it ought to be an easy
matter for Harrisburg to almost abolish
the trouble. For years it was supposed
that most of the smoke and SCOT came
from the railroad engines, but this
theory has been exploded by an in
vestigation which demonstrates that a
small percentage of smoke is traceable
to the locomotives. At least so or 90
per cent. comes from factories and
plants, apartment houses and private
residences.
We can think of no greater work FOR
the Harrisburg Civic Club than a con-
crete attack upon the smoke and SCOT
that is now causing so much loss
and discomfort throughout Harrisburg.
1t isn't necessary and it ought to be
abolished.
