TO-DAY'S EDITORIALS

Philadelphia Record: That is a
very interesting report which comes
from London, that the British Ad-
miralty has decided that not a Ger
man flag nor any neutral vessel in
which Germans have an interest shall
be permitted to ply the seven seas
until the indemnity which the allies
will demand is paid in full" By it's
control of the ocean Great Britain
is in position to put such a policy in
operation, ii 1t really has been definite
ly decided on. Germany and Austria
may hold Belgium and Servia, but
these are trivial conquests in COM
parison with the power to rule ocean
commerce. When the time comes to
talk peace Great Britain's trump card
is bound to play an, important part
in the settlement of terms.
Hartford Courant: When the New
York World, the leading Democratic
journal of the country and the most
uniformly loyal devotee of Mr.. Will
son, calls on him to name Taft for
the Supreme Court it ought to count
for something. Nor is the World
alone in it's course. There is a deep
seated sentiment in the country that
Taft, admittedly one of the really
great men of his time, belongs on that
bench. His candidacy for the Presi-
dency was forced upon him; he much
preferred at that time to be a JUS
tice of the highest court, but he yield
ed to his friends and became Presi-
dent.
The New York Sun: Captain Won
Papen, just arrived at Rotterdam, has
an opinion about the sinking of the
Persia. 1t is that the boiler exploded.
AS the Persia sank in five minutes, it
must have been such boiler explosion
as would blow out the bottom of a
ship. The captain might better have
suggested q mine.

THE BEST GIFT
BY Wing DinEer

For the kids we got at Christmas
Lots of things, my wife and I,
Got line on what they wanted
Ere we started out to buy.
Games and toys and books of stories,
Useful things as well we got,
Everything their hearts could wish for
We provided, so we thought.
All went well on Christmas morning,
Both the lads were satisfied
With their gifts, until they'd gone out
And some other kiddies spied
With their gift guns. shooting SPAR
rows
(Gun was not upon our lisD-
Trouble then bobbed up in punches;
Best of all gifts we had missed.

has issued a counter statement in which
that city is described. from a moral

A Word to Dealers

ITO procure the kind Of NOR
chandise people want - the
storekeeper must know what
people want"
Such is an axiom of one of our
great merchants, who practices
what he breaches.
Ono thing that the storekecp-
er does know is that there viii
be an initial demand for goods
which the manufacturer adver-
tises in the newspapers.
He knows that people will
want to see these goods and
that IL they have merit they Will
find favor more quickly than un-
advertised wares.
The dealer not only stocks with
them, but he pushes them at the
time the newspaper advertising
is running.

TINE Hope Fire Company has

years. but it displays all the
vigor and activity of youth. The
Hope Company is one of Harris
burg's most venerable institutions.
and one of it's most honored. Cherish

the names of many of the men who
laid the foundations of the city and
who will be associated always with
it's early history. Few fire companies
have more reason for celebrating than
the Hope. 1t has always stood for
the very best in citizenship and has
never been found wanting in time of
need. The Hope has traditions that
any organization might envy, and it
is living right up to the best of them.

it's no use to boost for a town that's
sick. Knock and the knocker adores
you-boost, you are up a stump. He
let's out yelp and refuses to help and
business goes bump-ity-bump. A
banquet won't help the knocker-
he'd knock if you fed him pie-he

While working an experiment in

School, Wanda Cross of Seward coun-
ty barely escaped serious injury from
an explosion of hydrogen generator.
Miss Cross with two other girls was
working out an experiment when
something went wrong with the hyd-
rogen generator. The three girls,
regardless of the caution given them
by their laboratory teacher, tried
testing It with gas flame. The re-
suit was an explosion, scattering
glass and acid through all parts OF
the laboratory. Some shattered glass
hit Miss Cross just above the eye,
cutting deep cash. Her friend, Miss
Stone, received like injuries and also
burned her hand severely by hot acid.

ground, apparently, that the man who
stops any kind of fight earns his
everlasting displeasure. 1t FORUM
ately happens, however, that the pa

Grated was the public of the United

common sense. Indeed, the public
perceives that the learned judges, If
they really mean what they say, are
bent upon undoing the operation and
placing the patient right where he
was before-at deaths door, laboring
for his scant breath-a fate from
which the patient for reasons wholly
his own recoils.
