PARKER'S OWN LITTLE PARTY

The call issued by John NJ. Parker OF New Orleans,
nominated for vice president at the recent progressive con-
ventiOn, whose nomination Roosevelt declined, is not find
ing a numerous response. A handful of irreconcilables
may be brought together for the August meeting, but
their influence will be nil in the great national campaign.
Mr.. Parker has said some bitter things against the
bull moose leaders. He has called them traitors and what
not. But in Mr.. Parkers own state, Louisiana. they
polled hardly more than 5000 votes four years ago when
the movement for a separate party was under full sway.
In that state, it is estimated, Parker himself could not poll
even half that many votes this year. Why should a man
who represents only 1900 votes in his own state make such
a big noise?
Parker was one OF the southern men who saw in the
Roosevelt party the possibility of breaking up the solid
democratic south. The one party system in the south he
believes has been a detriment to that section. To facili-
tate the breaking up of the solid south the negro was not
honored in the progressive party. He was abandoned to
his fate. This attitude did not represent the real Roose-
welt mind, but it was a concession made to those in the
south who believed that an all-white progressive party
could sweep the southern states from their false mOOrings.
But Wilson, as compared with Roosevelt, carried all the
southern states by from o to to 20 to T.
The Parker party will represent nothing, either north
or south.

1T is JOHNNY BULL HIMSELF

We are now told that while the French initiative on
the Somme was brilliant, since that time the heavy work
has been done by the British, and that it is understood to
be the British end of the job, an offset for what the French
have done at Verdun. The Germans have recognized this
fact by massing all their best troops and their heaviest
guns facing the British. And the British soldiers are
actually from England, not made up of colonlals.
The men from the tight little island, kitcheners ac-
tual mob. are going to try conclusions with the flow
er of the German army. They say that they are going to
convince the Teutons that the British are not a decadent
and degenerate race. That has long been the sneer of
the Germans: thew are now going to make them eat their
words. That is the determination of Johnny Bull. 1t is
going to make the battle of the Somme something of a
decisive battle. If the Germans can hold, it means a lot
for the kaiser, and if they have to give way it will be all
I'D for the Hohenzo11erns. The Somme NAV be the de-
cisive battlefield.

FOOLISH PEOPLE AND FIREARMS

One of the most abused privileges of citizenship is the
right to carry arms. This has been twisted from its orig
inal meaning to permission to possess arms, which hab1tu-
ally takes the form of 'toting a gum At any rate, the
law is perverted to permit dangerous weapons to fall into
the hands of persons who give way to impulse and make
front page stories to shock newspaper readers. lnstan-
ces gathered from the papers of the last few days show that
this practice is not improving as the race grows older. In
sane men are found equipped with modern weapons, pro-
vded in moments of apparent sanity, with which to Wreak
their murderous whims on innocent folks. Hab1tual GRIM
inals, whose way of life indicates lack of balance, are al
most invariably possessed of some sort of firearm. A
splendid service will be performed by whOmsoever sue
ceeds in divorcing the foolish person from the dangerous
weapon.

YOU TAKE YOUR CHOICE

The fight between the British and German navles off
Jutland will go into naval annals as important for several
reasons, but it is not at all likely to be given full credit for
all it accomplished. 1t is one of the very few great fights
in all history in which both sides won a clean victory.
Besides this, it has confirmed Admiral Deweys theory of
the supremacy of the dreadnaught, and justifies Admiral
Knights contention that the battle cruiser is indispensable.
Advocates of the submarine find support for their claims
in this engagement, and the champions of the torpedo
boats are fully sustained by what happened. Plain peo-
pie will be content to let the experts have it out in their
own way, feeling as did old Kaspar, after Benheim, that
it was "a great vctOry.'

RAILROADS AND THE WAR PROBLEM

An expert railroad man, who has been studying the
question of troop movement, in the light of experience
gained during the recent mobilization, says the railroads
need 5000 additional passenger coaches to adequately &C
commodate a troop movement on anything like a war
scale. AT present the roads of the country have a surplus
of 5000 coaches, which will serve 100000 men under war
department specifications. All the cars in the country
would be required were it needed to handle a million and
a quarter men within forty-eight hours. This gives an
outline of the problem to be solved. Some years ago the
great governments of Europe sent experts to study the
methods used by American Circuses in loading and unload
ing, and the lessons then learned have been of great
service in the present war. The United States army and
the railroads as we'll might learn something were they to
follow in the same course. At any rate, proof has been
given that neither is ready.

The efforts of the publicity end of the administration
to work a pulmotor on the Baltimore declaration for re-
duced cost of living. enlivens the gayety of the campaign.
The ultimate consumer is advised that rising prices halted
for breath in 1915, and 20 articles of food slipped back one
point compared with 1914 prices. How these "sEackers'
lost their grip is not explained. If meat products slumped
4 to Q per cent, few households detected the slump, but
wheat, flour, Cornmeal and sugar scored advances from II
to 20 per cent. An all-round AVERAGE rise is the result of
the official showing, widening the gulf between promise
and performance.

Not only are Russians and British fighting against
the Turks now, but the Arabs who started a revolt a few
weeks ago have been achieving some notable victories.
They have made UP their minds that the Turks shall no
longer rule the Moslem world. Instead of responding to
the demands for a holy war of Islam around the banners
of the sultan of Constantinople, they have set up a protest
against the further domination of the Moslem world by
the Turks. Constantinople may thus lose both its mill
tary prestige and its religious Importance. And all the
time the Turkish forces are prevented from cooperating
with the allies in Europe.

Rough sailing for the compromise home rule bill
for Ireland is the prediction sent out from London. Any
other course would imply that Tory England had changed
its habits and reforced. The number Of implacables in
England is considerably larger than the implacableS of
Ireland. If they pull together rough sailing is assured, but
it is unlikely that an uncompromising minority can defeat
the measure.

Judge Clark, the new appointee to the United States
supreme court, attained distinction originally as an Ohio
politician who had a newspaper and employed il to lam
bast his enemies. And the curious part of it all is that he
still retains an interest in this paper and personally
writes many of its editorials. They are said to be spicy
ones, too, but there are a few old fossils who have cues
toned the propriety of a federal Judge exercising the edi-
torial perOgative. Whether he will continue as a partisan
editor in his new field of judicial authority remains to be
seen, but it is probable that he will, for such conduct
would seem in keeping with the progressive spir: of

shipping it.

of the low politician. Its circulation
went up by leaps and bounds. Ralph
would rather have had the prestige
of the old sheet
A desperate resolution that came
to him was stimulated by a discovery
he made. The new owners had no
legal right to the name. The Mirror
Advocate had changed hands and the
title was his; therefore the newcom-
ers bought the plant. Ralph found
wealthy man to back him and re-
solved to resuscitate the old paper
under its own name.
After a lawyers interview Ralph,
refusing an offer of $4,000 for the
title, restarted the Mirror-Advocate
on a hand press pending the arrival
of the linotypes. He knew that would
please Dorothy-that and the revival
of the paper.
Its success was amazing Before
the paper was anything more than a
four-page sheet it had a circulation
of 1000. Advertisers began to come
in. Ralph wrote to Dorothy again.
He asked her if she would forgive
him when he had restored the old
prestige of the paper But no answer
came and whenever they met the girl
hurried past him with high head and
flaming cheeks.
1t was about six months after the
paper had been re-established that
Misfortune suddenly reappeared.

Mt. Union; Pa Nov. 21.-R. o. Carter
Company, was summoned to New York
city on Friday night at Il o'clock. While
in New York he was, in conference
with the heads of the company. On
his return here he announced that the
powder plant at this place which has
been closed since October. will soon be
running at greater speed than ever
before. In several weeks at least 1,5O0
men will be employed and placards
and posters are now being put up here
asking for carpenters at 40 cents per
hour. Mechanics and laboring men of
all sorts will start work December 1.
A number of chemists and first class
powder makers who were formerly en-
ployed at the local works and who are
now in Canada and at other Aetna
plants. have been summoned to report
for work at Mt. Union.
The jitney train which made four
trips between Huntingdon and the
powder plant and which was discon-
tinued by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, will again be put into SER
vice.
The opening of this plant is causing
rejoicing among local merchants, for
all had made great preparations and
bought heavily for what they thought
would be prosperous winter. At the
closing of the plant several months
ago it looked as though they would
lose money, but now they will make
even more than they had anticipated.

STATES MAP MEN
PLOT Big FOREST
Work in Juniata Valley Is Be.
ing Pushed by Conklin's
Surveying Force

According to report which reached
the Capitol to-day. the States official
map makers have been doing some
notable work up the Juniata valley. A
strip of almost solid forest, approx
mately fffty-five miles long and from
two to eight miles wide, has been COW
cred by topographers of the Forest
Service in the most accurate survey of
Pennsylvania's forests ever made. The
area extends in q northeasterly di-
rection from the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad near Peters,
burg, to within five miles of Miffiin-
burg. 1t embraces parts of Hunting
don, Center Snyder, Mifflin and
Union counties, and takes in almost
10000 acres of State forests, an
area twice the size of Montour county.
The purpose of the surveys is to Sc
cure data on which to base plans for
the future development of the State
forests. Maps of the areas surveyed
are being made up as rapidly as pos
siple, and show every detail of topo-
sraphy. Springs, roads, trails, fire
lanes, streams, camp sites and eleva-
1ion can be shown for every acre. On
the oasis of these maps, the forests
will be divided into Compartments,
corresponding to the fields of farm.
Each compartment, like each field, can
then be given the treatment its condi-
tlon demands. This will make posi-
Die system of intensive forest man
agement very much like the system
which has made Germany's forests so
productive.
The surveys will be continued until
the whole million acres of State forest
nave been covered. AS soon as maps
are made up, small scale copies will
Dc placed on sale at
nominal prices. The only maps avail
able now are for the Barree Forest,
Huntingdon county. Others are al
most completed for the following for
ests: Bear Meadows. Greenwood,
Seven Mountain, Penn, Jacks Noun
tain, Buffalo, Kishacoquillas and Pen
nypacker.
