The Real Friends of Labor

Colonel Roosevelt's message to the
workingmen of the anrnracite region
at Wilkes-Barre was one which will
have to be taken to heart by the
laborers of the nation If they hope for
q realization of the dream of q per-
manent settlement Of the relation be-
tween employers and employed on a
basis of justice and humanity. 1t may
be that the real force and meaning of
that message, delivered with the di-
rectness and earnestness that are so
characteristic of the speaker, may be
obscured for the moment by the pas
sionS of partisanship. But the posi-
ton which Colonel Roosevelt, In COM
mon with Mr.. Hughes, has taken on
the great issue created by the Adam
mend itself to the sense of Justice of
the American workingmen. They
must realize that the true friends of
labor are not the cringing politicians
who are willing to yield to the menace
of force In order to win temporary
political advantage without inquiry
into the justice of the course they
pursue under duress. They are wise
enough to understand that no arbi-
trary adjustment of wage disputes
effected by compulsion and without
regard to the underlying conditions
Is going to be permanently advant-
ageous to the workers. and they will
see this when they shall have had
time to review the situation apart
from the passions of the moment
when they shall have escaped from
the illusions and deceptions of a
great political campaign. - The

THE HIGH SCHOOL LOAN

HNE thousand one hundred and
~ forty-eight boys and girls
m. crowded into q school building
having a capacity for not more than
600!
That is the situation at Central
High.
If a family finds itself too big for
the old home, it moves into a larger
house. If q businessman is in hasty
need for more room and equipment
he goes straightway and borrows
the money to buy 1t. That is what
the people should do to meet the High
School situation. Every businessman
worth the name borrows to meet his
needs. Schwab, for instance, is one
of the heaviest borrowers in the
country. He borrows to build. We
are asked to do the same for the sake
of the boys and girls who have O
right to expect of Harrisburg the kind
of education that other cities give
their young people. Good business
demands that we comply.

Roosevelt scornfully. 'If the Wilson
administration could point to one sac
rifice this nation has made for the
right, to one indication of willingness
to face loss on behalf of principle
1t might deserve some credit.
II we had done what we ought to have
done our neutrality would have been a
badge of honor and not one of shame"

American who loves his country and
knows its traditions share Colonel

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Everv Safe a Germ Killer

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
have been thinking many times to-
day. do they ever test money for germs?
I should say that millions of microbes
collect on the paper money being han
died daily by sick and we'll persons
from one to the other and think some
notoriety should be given on this sub
ject. A suggestion I would offer would
be to have the banks and all places
where money Is handled or kept In
vaults or safes to keep a crock or con-
tainer holding formaldehyde in the COM
partments, making a sterilizer out of
every safe when closed for the night.
The stores could join in on a move
ment of this kind. I want to say that
hundreds of lives would unquestionably
be saved by this means. There are
many diseases carried with paper
money, to my estimation, and nation
wide campaign to make sterilizers out
of every money safe should be started.
Germs would be killed over night. 1t
is simple, cheap and can be done. Who
shall start this in Harrisburg? Let
the Telegraph come out at once as a
suggestion to the banks and 1 am cer-
tainly sure 1t will meet with success
and consent of the health authorities
This is one of the neglected disease
breaders, so let's get busy.

ury Department in Washington would

Short Tariff Speech

"Girard" in the Philadelphia Ledger
gives this tariff speech in tabloid form:
Tho H. X. Mulford Company sends
out in a year millions of little glass
tubes filed with things to prevent or
cure sickness.
Before the war these glass tubes
came from Germany. but now the
Mulford company makes them In its
own newly built factory.
I'VE pay our employees" Mr. Null
ford said to me. about four times the
wages Germans receive for the same
work."
come in these tubes cost you no more
in an American glass than in a Ger
man glass.
Query: Would 1t be wise or unwise
to keep these 400 Americans at work
after the war by a law that would pro-
tact them from German competition ?

particularly menacing and ominous.
Mills which were paying $500 and
$4,000 a month with board to ordi-
nary workmen in the woods last year
are now competing with one another
for an adequate supply of this sort,
and are offering anywhere from s55
to $50 per month with board, and
camps in many cases are not supplied
with a full complement of men, There
is every probability that the cost OF
pulp wood will advance very sharply
this year as compared with the pulp
wood costs of the past, but the chief
source of worry will not be the high
cost of pulp wood, but the possibility
that the mills may not be able to se-
cure a sufficient supply to provide for
their requirements during the whole
of the year of 1917" D..

Hard for the Rich Girl
"It is harder, not easier. for a rich
woman to do worth while work than it
is for q poor one. In the first place,
there is the lack of incentive always
present with the economic pinch. In
the second place, the rich girls friends
and family are pulling at her con-
stantly, urging her to give up. The re-
verse is the case with the poor girl.
Then, finally If the rich girl achieves
any measure of success there are al
ways those who will credit her with
