Railroad Mail Paw

[From the Buffalo Express.1
If the Postmaster General had any
hope that the conference committee
would change the post office bill to
railroads for carrying the mails. they
have been ended by the report of that
committee. Mr.. Burleson will not have
his way but, instead, the Interstate
Commerce Commission will pass on the
problem. 1t will determine what meth
DDS Of payment should be adopted =
whether space or weight-and what the
rates should be.
This is a common-sense way of dis
posing of this matter. The Interstate
Commerce Commission is the one Fed
eral authority that is completely cap
able of handling this problem as 1t
should be handled Mail is simply
freight of a special form. The Inter
state Commerce Commission devotes al
most all its time to questions arising
from the transportation of freight and
1t is particularly we'll fitted to deal
with the mail question. Its decision can
be received with more confidence that
it is right than can any ruling by tHe
Postmaster General or any of his as
sistants.

WILL REPEAL ARMoR BILL
NNE of the first acts of the Repub-

NNE of the first acts Of the Repub-
" hcans when they are returned
to power March 4 next will be
to repeal the iniquitous armor plate
mill bin passed by the Democrats in
the House and Senate this week.
This bill sets aside $11, 900, 900 for
the construction of government-own-
ed armor plate mill.
Such a mill will send to the scrap
heap every private-owned armor plate
mill in the country
The government mill may be good or
bad. Nobody knows. Nobody now in
the government employ knows much
about the technical end of arnor
plate making. If the government pro-
duct is not up to the mark our navy
will be in bad way. If this single
mill were blown up by foreign spy.
the country would have no reserve to
fall back upon.
And beside all this, the Bethlehem
Steel company has offered to make for
the government armor plate at any
price which the government itself shall
fix as a proper figure; this notwith-
standing that the Bethlehem plant is

900 FOR sTEELToN

CTEELTON'S future as one of the
y great steel producing communi-
ties of the country is assured. An
nouncement by the Bethlehem Steel
Company that it will spend $4,000
600 there, instead of the 10000, 900
forecasted by Messrs. Schwab and
Grace following their recent trip of
inspection over the plant, shows con-
clusively that Mr.. Schwab and his fell
lows were very favorably impressed
with the possibilities of Steelton. Not
even Schwab, free as he is with the
use of money, spends millions of dol
lars without a very distinct purpose
in view. Evidently Steelton is to be
made a second Bethlehem.
The erection of new blast furnaces,
the replacing of the antiquated power
facilities with new steam and cleo
trical plants, the building of new coke
producers, open hearth furnaces and
mills of various sorts means the en-
ployment of hundreds If not thousands
more men.
The magic hand of Schwab has
been laid upon Steelton and prosperity
for years to come appears assured.
What makes for good times in Steel
ton reflects upon Harrisburg, so that
we have double reason for rejoicing in
the good news it is the pleasure OF
the Telegraph to announce to-day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PLEA FOR ORDER
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Few of our citizens seem TO realize
the necessity for preventing, at any
cost, lawlessness on our public streets,
during the present street car mems
strike. Whether the disorder is
created by man, woman or child. the
culprtt should be punished promptly
by the police department, or the
deputies that the sheriff mas sworn
in for the purpose.
To-day the Comm nonwealth of Penn
sylvania, is without a National Guard,
and we have to protect a population of
over 100000 by 400 well-drilled men.
consisting of our State Constabulary.
With so many idle boys over sixteen,
misguided women and men who should
know better, all ready to create dis
turbances on our principal streets. it
behooves both the Police Department
of the City of Harrisburg, and the
deputies sworn in by Sheriff Caldwell,
to look sharp that order is maintained
such as we are accustomed to in a
city that has a reputation for less
crime and evil doing, than any other
city OF like population in the Com
monwealth.
This article is written unbiased and
with fairness to both the street car
company and its striking employees, as
1t Is a matter understood that the
damage to street cars ana annoyance
to passengers, was not caused by the
strikers themselves, but by men, wo-
men and children who snould pe
made to feel the strong arm of the
law.

topography of the country is an i'm
portant factor. and the nation which
mas the best detailed maps has a dis
tlnct advantage. 1t is the Topographic
map which is marked by the aeronaut
as ne flies over the enemy on scouting
duty; it is the Topographic map which
aids in directing the firing, since the
marksmen cannot see the target, and
1t is this map, in fact, which consti-
tutes the chess board on which the
military authorities play the war
game. 1t has been said that many
battles of the Civil war would have
been left unfought if there had been
an adequate topographic map system
at that time. AS it was, the need was
so apparent that Congress authorized
the first corps of topographic engi-
neers in 1861.
One author points out that the IA
cility with which the japanese took
Port Arthur in the Russo Japanese
war was due to the fact that for
months before, Japaese spies disguis-
ed as coolies had been quietly map
ping the topography of the country.
When the night of attack came it was
an easy matter for the japanese to
disable the giant Russian searchlights
illuminating the port, their guns di-
rected at the hill marked on the map
as the position of the apparatus thus
throwing the Russian forces into con-
fusion.
The increasing use of the topo-
graphic map in this country as pre-
pared by the Geological Survey has
made the land swindle an almost ex-
tinct practice. 1t is impossible. for
example, to sell man a certain grove
of oranges in FLORIDA when he he has
a topographic map before him. show
ing that the alleged grove is covered
with several feet of swamp and water.

THE GOVERNMENT MAPS
By Frederic J. Haskin

ME summer vacation season is on.
Motorists are planning pleasure
trips across country; tourists,
unwelcome in Europe, are contem-
platlns Journeys through the national
parks, and campers are diligently
searching pamphlets and advertise
ments in an effort to find the ideal
camping site with plenty of fish. In
these preliminary investigations the
topographic maps Of the Geological
Survey are of great assistance. Over
forty per cent. of the area of the
United States has been sketched by
the government topographic engi-
neers, including roads houses,
streamlets, mosquito districts, valleys,
rivers and mountains. A glance at the
selected camp site on a topographic
map Immediately tells the prospective
vacationist the most intimate details
of its photography often carefully
ignored by the railroad pamphlet.
It is the purpose of the Geological
Survey gradually to map the entire
continental United States, as we'll as
Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the
Philippines-work which, when COM
pleted and tn sections Joined togeth-
er, will cover over an acre of ground
Each section is sketched on a sheet
about eighteen inches square, the
preparation of which costs the gov
ernment from three to five thousand
dollars. On the back of il is printed
a complete description of the physical
features of the district, which has
made the maps extremely popular.
One man who toured the Crater Lake
National Park, the Grand Canyon and
the Delaware Water Gap with the aid
of the survey maps, said that he did
not see how he had ever got along
without them.
But their value to the vacationist is
small compared to their economic and
military values. In modern war the

WE MUST HAVE ORDER

TT is unfortunate in the midst of any
public disturbance that doubts are
excited regarding the attitude of
the conservators of peace-the police
force. Allowing for superheated
statements and iIl-founded rumors it
must always be remembered that
aside from all interest in the imme-
diate controversy the duty of a police
department is to maintain order.
Those persons who always take
advantage OF such conditions to
indulge in disorderly practices should
have no consideration whatever. They
are not real sympathizers of the strik-
ing employees, but are in most cases
mischievous individuals who are sim
ply allowing their unruly spirits to
have full play. The striking trolley
men are themselves protesting against
these outbreaks because they realize
that public disorder can only do in
jury to their own cause.
1t is commendable that the leaders
of the strikers in public statements
and in their various speeches have de-
nounced the tendency to engage in
riotous outbreaks, and it is clearly the
duty of the police department to strike
hard at anything which may lead to
general disruption of the peace and
order of the city. The strikers them
selves gave their sympathizers an OBJ
ject lesson in orderliness when they
paraded last evening without a sign
of trouble anywhere.
District Attorney Stroup has served
pected of the courts should any of the
riot-breeders come before him. In a
statement published elsewhere in this
issue he draws the attention of the
public to the provision of law which
provides a maximum Of ten years in
prison and $1,000 fine for attacks on
corporate property and adds that he
will press for stern punishment in
every conviction he is able to obtain.
This means that if the District At
torney is called upon to prosecute in
the case of persons arrested for ston-
ing cars or threatening motormen or
passengers, they may expect long
terms in the penitentiary. Mr.. Stroup
J. , cone the right thing. The public
is inconvenienced enough by lack of
street car facilities and it is in no
mood to be made the victim of riotous
ruffians who have chosen this oppor-
tunity to let their criminal tendencies
run riot at the expense of life, prop
erty and the fair name of Harrisburg

A Task For Ingenious Democrats
IFrom the New York SUM-

tFrom the New York SUM-
From our neighbor the World we
learn that:
THE monopoly tariff hogs are for
dominant Americanism and the privi-
lege of robbing the consumer to in
crease the crop of millionaires."
The unconstitutionality of protec-
tive tariffs came to a painful end at
st. Louis. The fundamental principle
of a tariff for revenue only there
gave up the ghost. So a new phase
must be devised by which the pro-
tectionist Democratic party may be
distinguished from that political ag-
gregation it has so long. so earnestly,
and so violently denounced as protec-
zionist.
Thus a Republican protective sched-
ule is to be a monopoly tariff" and
a Democratic protective tariff is to be
something quite different. But how
difficult it will be to make the old line
tariff for revenue fellows recognize the
distinction!

POLITICAL PosrMAsTERs

TN the National Convention of Post

Fourth Assistant Postmaster BIak-

the postmasters, speaking of the re-
election of President Wilson, that they
were expected to do their part back
home. Immediately on top of this
speech an Oklahoma postmaster, a
former Congressman, advised the
postmasters to "go home and remem-
Der that the greatest work of all the
nation is the reelection of Woodrow
Wilson"
BY this time the president of the
Association felt that the thing had
gone about far enough and suggested
to the convention that it could not af-
ford to subject itself to criticism in
this respect. What would some of our
Democratic contemporaries have said

Cloth Made From Nett1es

In their quest for material which
can be used as a substitute for cot
ton, German scientists have discover
ed that the troublesome nettle weed
contains a long fiber which can be
woven into durable cloth. The
difficulty to overcome was to separ-
ate it from the woody splinters which
scratch and irritate the skin. An
ammonia process was first used. but
this was expensive. An inventor
named Richter has now devised a
water process by which the Irritating
particles are separated from the fiber
and considerable quantities of the net
tie cloth have already been woven. 1t
is nearly waterproof, absorbs dye
readily and is a coarse strong cloth
suitable for many purposes.
