DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS

TIME King can do no wrong" might
be paraphrased to read THE
| Democratic party can do no
wrong" in the eyes of the State
Democratic Committee, which in ses-
sion here yesterday lauded the Wilson
administration to the skies, magni-
fying its accomplishments and prais-
| ing as virtues even it's most glaring
faults. Without going at length into
the absurdities of the resolutions
adopted by the committee 1t may be
pointed out even to the satisfaction
of a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat that
the administration has had some
failures.
For instance, more than nine
months ago Democratic officials ad-
mitted in express terms the need for
some action that would insure the
establishment of a permanent dye in
dustry in this country that would
make us industrially independent of
Europe, but not one step has been
taken to supply the needed pre-
paredness." On the contrary, the
Democrats in Congress voted down
an amendment which would have
given American manufacturers protec-
ton enough to induce them to build
dye factories.
Another instance was seen in the
delay in repeating the free sugar
clause, which was to go into effect
May l. The Democrats knew they
must eventually repeal that clause,
but put it off as long as they dared.
Appropriation bills are dragging
along in Congress, Notwithstanding
these bills provide for the ordinary
expenses of the government - eX-
perse which the committees should
be able to determine with a reason
able amount of consultation with ad-
ministrative officers.
The preparedness program is chiefly
characterized by the slowness in
reaching a definite conclusion. watch
full waiting" had it's origin in the
Mexican difficulty, and apparently the
administration has adopted the we'll
known Mexican motto, "manana."
which, in English, means "to-mor-
row." American businessmen who
have made a success did not pursue
a tomorrow" policy, and they don't
like it in their governmental repre-
sentatives. But, apparently, the State
Committee knows little and cares less
what the businessmen think.

THE sToRY-TELLERs' CLUB

TINE Story Tellers' Club will bring
to Harrisburg Saturday evening
a noted authority on storytelling
with the idea of starting a permanent
lecture fund to give Harrisburg dur
ing the entertainment season the best
speakers on storytelling" in the
country. Every one of us who re-
members how as children we used to
beg for q story must realize the vast
good that can be accomplished in this
direction. The Story-Tellers' Club
has done much for Harrisburg along
this line under very adverse condi-
tions. 1t has both entertained and
instructed. The storytelling hour at
the Public Library is an illustration
of the popularity of the custom of
educating children by this pleasant
method and the need grows with the
city. The club should be patronized
and encouraged.

the United States government at
a price lower than that paid by any
other country in the world.

fers to make armor plate for the
United States Government at any

III either case, this government
armor plate plant is another reason
why the voters are determined to put
an end to Democratic mal-administra-

days later. He sent scouts to Aguin-

NO HYPHENs AMONG THEM

TIME resolutions adopted by the
Sons of Italy in America during
their convention here this week
have the right ring. One, addressed
to the President of the United States
expresses their loyalty to the land of
their adoption and their devotion to
it's welfare. Another, messaged to
the Italian ambassador at Washing
ton, extends greetings and assures
him of continued affection for their
native country. There is no hyphen
in either. Italians who are loyal to
America and who love the nation of
their birth make good Americans.

WISE REGULATION

THIEF OF POLICE zEIL has ruled
u wisely in forbidding the asphalt
streets to children riding push
mobiles or coaster wagons. Two
fatalities have occurred in this city
as q result of boys riding on space
especially set aside for vehicular
traffic and if the practice is not stop
ped other accidents are bound to oc-
cur. The officers should have the
hearty cooperation of parents in
carrying out the new order. Human
life is too precious to be placed in
jeopardy for the mere sake of an
hours fun that may be had under con-
ditions far less hazardous if not quite
so exciting.

'No form of Government can long
survive that does not give security to
life and property" says Darwin f.
Kingsbury, president of the New York
Life Insurance Company. A large por-
tion of the property of the United
states is the fruit of industry, and Sc
curity to that property lies in a protec-
tive tariff law. A fuller realization of
life to the American laborer lies in his
opportunity to be continuously en-
ployed at the American standard of
wages during normal business years,
and a protective tariff law gives him
that opportunity.

Tariff for revenue only is a fall
lacy. as you cannot worship at its
shrine without withdrawing the
support and foundation of Ameri-
can institutions. and il needs no
argument to establish the fact that
a low tariff which operates i'm suf-
ficient volume to afford adequate
revenue to meet the expenses of
governmental administration, must
of necessity flood the country with
commodities to the point of utter
stagnation in American productive
energy. Under the present tariff 1t
would be necessary for our imports
to increase more than a billion dol
lars over what they were last year
in order to produce sufficient reYe-

also Commonwealth Edison and
insult need for the kind of a subway
and elevated roads capitalization
they want-also Mayor Thompson's
forthcoming nine or ten appoint
ments of members of the board Of
education-are doped out as three of
the reasons why the Chicago Tribune
has stopped handing knocks and jabs
to Mayor Thompson and instead is
now giving him front-page boosts.
Up till three months ago the Trib-
une was pouring a steady fire Of ridi-
cule on bill the Big" Bill the I'm

the mayor of Chicago is no longer
plastered with these epithets. Now
he is pictured as a hero struggling
against the perils Of the American
republic. In newspaper circles it is
understood the Tribune for circula-
ton reasons had to meet the herald's
policy of knocking the City Hall.
Why this policy is dropped now is eX-
planned by gossip this way:
MediI Mccormick, grandson of
Joseph Medil, founder of the Trib-
une, since his election as congress-
man-at-large from Illinois by a vote
that led the Republican ticket, is an
entry for the U. S. senatOrship in
1918. The goodwill of the City Hall
and of Mayor Thompson, national
committeeman from illinois, is worth
something in this senatorial race. If
Mayor Thompson should develop into
an Out-and-out enemy of Medill Nc
Cormick he might smash all the SEN
atoriaI hopes Of Medill Mccormick.
It's recognized, as a lot easier to
smash than elect candidate. With
the November election returns all of
Medin McCormick's chances for 1918
honOrs were brighter. Now. comes
the Tribune's switch on City Hall.

blocking the surface lines and some
times ridiculing Len Busby, head of
Chicago Surface Lines. If Common
wealth Edison and the elevated roads
are to get what they want this win
ter from the City Hall it's an advan-
tage to have good will of City Hall.
AS a school land lessee, with a
ground rent about one-half that of
its neighbOrs, the Tribune is interest
ed in getting a school board that will
keep on with past policies and back
up the Jake Loeb majority of the
school board in its tactics against
the Teachers Federation.
Never in recent years has. so much
school board power rested in the
hands of mayor as now. Besides
seven eXpiratiOQs Of terms, there are
two vacancies and there is one I'M
confirmed member on the board now.
That is, Mayor Thompson has power
to name ten trustees on a boards
which requires only eleven votes to
put over most any old thing. By
having the goodwill of mayor the
Tribune is at an advantage fnan-
cially in the present situation.

there two years, but have just this
week got onto the front page Of the
