THE NEW MILK CODE

nR. W. S. GIMPER, of the State
- Livestock Sanitary Board, is right
in telling the local health authori-
ties that the ultimate solution of the
problem of a protected milk supply lies
in State inspection. Unquestionablv.
State supervision through the Dairy
and Food Division of the Department
of Agriculture is desirable and beyond
doubt it is on the way. The next Legis-
lature will be urged to pass such a law
and certainly it will have the support
of all the city members. The wise
farmer should be as keen for it as the
consumer. for it would relieve him
from unfair competition with careless
milk producers who. by their lax
methods. are able to undersell him.
But until State inspection is a fact
the city must protect itself as best it
can. The Health Board is striving to
win the cooperation of dealers and
producers in the enactment of a local
code to apply at least until the State
creates an inspection corps. 1t is to
the credit OF the dealers that they are
sincerely endeavoring to assist in franz
ing a fair and satisfactory set of rules
for the government of themselves and
the dairies.

THE CAPTURE OF COMPLIES

TNHE capture of Combles illustrates
number of important points
in the European fighting. 1t
shows that the Germans can no longer
hope to hold their line in France, but
that they are relinquishing the ground
they took with a rush at the beginning
of the war only as they must and at
frightful cost to both themselves and
their foes. 1t indicates. also, a perfect
understanding between the fighting
forces Of the west and the east. Won
Hindenburg finds It necessary to send
rs many regiments east as can be
spared in the west, but he cannot do
so in nearly such number as though
the campaign along the Somme were
confined to trench warfare. And this
transfer of troops is working to the
advantage of the English and the
French who are striving desperately
to break through the German lines
there. Their troops. flushed with vic
tory after victory, are ready for any,
thing and their aerial scouts are busy
picking out the weak spots. They are
still faced by immense numbers Of
men. but should they once manage
to batter an opening in the Teutonic
lines the ground between the Ger
man positions and the Rhine would
at once become another Paris to Marne
retreat with even more disastrous eff
fects upon Germany
Even the most optimistic member of
the German general staff must now
see the hopelessness of the central
cause. There are indications that Ger
many would not be averse to listening
to peace talk from Washington and
1t is perhaps with the hope of making
advantageous terms that the imperial
government is endeavoring to stave
of defeat at least until winter shall
bring an end to active campaigning on
some of the fronts. The long and
stubborn defense of Combles makes
it apparent that this is possible, but
it is merely postponing the evil day.
Germany could not win at Verdun, but
the Allies can advance steadily and
permanently along the Somme. The
rest is mere matter of time and
effort.

gerous than the trusts or other COM
binations of capital.
Wilson never advocated the eight
hour day until he thought he might
curry favor with the railroad brother
hoods by urging 1t in their behalf.
Had he been sincere he would not
have stopped with the trainmen. but
would have urged that all interstate
transportation labor be placed on the
same basis.
On the other hand. there is Hughes,
who, as Governor of New York, not
only safeguarded the savings of thou
sands of working men from the greed
OF the insurance sharks. but was in
strumental in having passed during
his one term as Governor twice as
many labor laws as had been enacted
by all the legislatures which preceded
him. So friendly had he been to la
Dor that when he was elevated to the
Supreme bench the labor organiza-
uons of New York State passed reso-
lutions of confidence in him and ex-
pressed qualification for the high honor
accorded him. He was their recog-
nized friend.
Throughout many years of public
service Mr.. Hughes has demonstrated
his unfailing loyalty to the best in
terests of labor as a whole. If the
Democratic campaign committee is
sincere in its new-found friendship
for the unions why does it not urge
the election of man whose record Is
clear instead of pinning its allegiance
to a candidate who has condemned
labor organizations in unmeasured
terms and who rests his claims to la
Dor support solely on the basis of one
untried. doubtful act?

G W. STRAUS, the apostle of thrift

American people, tells the following
interesting story: Two years ago a
Missouri country boy of seventeen went
to Kansas City to obtain work. Good
Jobs are hard to find, but after much
perseverance he found one that seemed
promising at least. It was that OF a
porter at S5 week. It was the lowest
place in the firm. He surveyed the
large gap between himself and those
above him and decided that the way
to bridge the chasm was to work. learn
all he could about the work in the
places above him and save his money.
When quitting time came for the
young porter each day he did not quit

bookkeepers. He finally was given a
clerks position, and to-day he is head
bookkeeper and assistant cashier Of
his firm, is making a good salary for
ore so young and is able to do any
work in the house that is to be done.
There Is the thrift of time saving as
well as money saving. The man who
quits when the whistle blows keeps on
quitting at that hour all his life. The
fellow with his eye on the job ahead
usually gets it If he works for it. Op-
portunity may occasionally pass our
way. but usually 1t lies within us. It
is ours If we have the vision to see and
the strength to lay hold of it. There
are but two sure means of attaining
success and prosperity-hard work and

HARRISBURG EDUCATOR
URGES MILITARY COURSE
By BRIGGS

Europe. Our answer, in the light of
the awful tragedies across the water,
reveals the fact that our citizenship
must be able, efficiently and success
1ully, to bear arms in the defense of
the nation should the emergency arise.
Men totally unfamiliar with even
the elementary military tactics cannot
be converted into soldiers in day or
month or year, nor can adults ac-
quire efficiency in the handling of arms
as quickly as can youths.
In the United States to-day exist,
with reference to the question of pre-
paredness. two extreme views. They
are held, respectively, by the unduly
excited militarists, who seem to believe
that our schools should be given over
to the teaching of the science of war;
fare almost to the exclusion of the
cultural interests of life. The other
equally untenable opinion is held by
the backboneless pacifists who main
tain that our boys should be reared in
ignorance of any practical knowledge
and efficiency in the handling of arms
and of military tactics in general.
Somewhere between these extreme
views lies the truth.
The path of progress toward the
goal of national ideals is not and never
has been straight. 1t diverges now to
this side and now to that from a direct
line. When our national mind regains

of arms and the fundamental princi-
Piles that obtain in the mastering and
handling of military and naval forces.
This can and will be done without en-
croachment upon the time needed for
the teaching of the gentler arts and
sciences of peace.
Then, and then only, will our Sec
ondary schools be performing their
proper function in equipping our young
men with military knowledge sufficient
to safeguard and defend our great re-
public in times of stress"

MT1TH eommendable appre-
wv citation of the proper proportion
of things and with a logical
chain of facts and arguments on the
shortage of police protection in Har-
risburg, Mayor Meals is the first pub
lie official to take action on the de-
plorable state into which our made
quate and undemocratic system of
policing has brought the city. The
Mayors announcement that he will ask
for an appropriation in the next an
nual budget sufficient to bring the
force up to proper size in some measure
relieves the tension which would
sooner or later have resulted in a
complete revolution of police methods
in this city.
The Telegraph would have the
Mayor and Council go one step far
ther. Civil service ought to be intro
duced. With the merit system in
vogue, 4 mans advancement would
depend entirely on his own demon
strated ability and capacity for service,
and there would be a stimulus to
action and a feeling of self-respect at
tendant upon every advancement that
spells increased efficiency and public
approval
1t lies within the power of Council
to provide such a system. The weak
ness of the present lax method of po-
lice appointment is apparent to the
most thoughtless, and while an in
crease in the size OF the force doubtless
would ameliorate conditions to a de-
gree, 1t will not thoroughly shake the
dust of antiquity and obsolescence
from our present inadequate means Of
policing the city.
Mayor Meals has done we'll in plan

tent mentioned. He will do even better
II he puts his police department on the
same basis as the PENNSYLVANIA State

best organizations of its type in the
country. Council has it in its power TO

Howard I. Cotton. of 1925 White

us as attorneys for the estate of his
rather, George w. Cotton, and for
warded us clipping from your paper
In which 1t is stated that he had been
cut OF with legacy of s25.00 in his
fathers will, whereas his sister had
received about 100000.
He was very much annoyed by this
publlcauon as, although it may con-
tain the truth as far as it goes, the
fact is that the estate was left to his
sister Miss Harriette A. Cotton, with
separate instructions as to the testa-
tors desires, and Miss Cotton is now
transferring to her brother, Howard I.
Cotton, stocks valued at about
$500
We personally know of these trans
ters. as we are attending to them for
her and are forwarding the various
stock certificates to Mr.. Cotton, as
they come from the various compan-
les.
We trust that you will give this in
formation some prominent space in
your paper so that the idea that Mr..
Cotton is to receive nothing from his
fathers estate will be corrected.

or military training in the schools.
The article appeared in a recent issue
or the New York Times, together with
the opinions of other leading heads of
prominent secondary schools in vari-
Gus parts of the country, on the ques-
ton OF military preparedness in the
schools.
Mr.. Browns article is an expression
of his own views and cannot be con-

which may be adopted by the Acad-
emy. 1t is clear and forceful express
sion OF his conception of the duty of
our schools to the nation and furnishes
considerable food for thought
"As a father has a right to expect
from his son. whose youth he has
guarded and enriched for the estate of
manhood, 81 genuine love, loyalty and
support in time of need, so the govern

our secondary schools thrive, has a
