BACK INVADERS
Interesting War Problem
Worked Out BY Troops
Near Schofield

Having entrenched itself on the
eastern slope Of the Waianae range.
an invading army which had landed
along the Waianae coast and fought
its way over Kalena pass was severe
" punished last nfkht by shrapneI
fire from defenders at Schofield Bar
racks, and finally driven back over
the pass to seek refuge toward the
sea.
The enemy was Hypothetical, and so
was the defending infantry. but the
shrapnel which went hurting out
across the range. was the real thing.
Judging from the accurate way in
which three-inch battery located 3
certain area Of the slope and sprayed
It with shrapnel bullets for an hour
or so the enemy could well be
thankful that It was only imaginary.
Firing began at $3.50 O'Clock. after q
powerful bearchlight. located many
hundred feet from the battery, had
souht out enemy's entertainments.
The only phase Of the work which was
unlike what would have occurred ID
actual warfare was the firing OF d
few rounds from each gun with
s'tracers" on each shell to show the
trajectory or curve. Of the shell from

EN1aRG1NG SCHOOL USES

TIME friendly attitude of the city
school authorities toward en-
larging the usefulness of school
buildings is a step in the direction to-
ward which other cities of this size
are moving and which has been the
subject of repeated reports by Super
intendent f. f. Downes for some
years. 1t is altogether likely that the
School Board cannot see its way clear
to employ experts for neighborhood
center work at this time. However,
the conviction that adoption of this
line of activity is essentially to the
good of the city and it's people should
be sufficient to assure serious consid-
Grafton of the subject when next years
expenditures are under discussion.
But it is difficult to see why the
School Board should bear all of the
expense of social center work. Sim
ply because the school houses are
logical headquarters for gatherings
of the kind is no reason why the city
government should not share in the
up-keep. Harrisburg spends thou
sands of dollars every year in main
tanning parks and Fairgrounds, and
athletic fields and tennis courts, and
golf links for the entertainment and
recreation of it's people during the
warm period. Just as soon, however,
as Jack Frost sets his finger on the
landscape the city drops its work as
though ii were hot potato and let's
the people shift for themselves. If the
municipality is right in providing
outdoor amusement and exercise in
summer, how much more does it owe
them to the hundreds of people who
are left absolutely to their own insuffi-
cient or harmful devices during the
cold months?

Times Have Changed
]

The hide bound. thick-and-t thin, ever
lawsting to -everlawstlng party organ
seems to be doomed. The late campaign
demonstrated that beyond question.
Newspapers supporting Wilson printed
many Hughes advertisements, while the
Hughes papers ran columns of paid
matter boosting Wilson. Never before
was the power of newspaper adver-
tising so generously and so widely rec
ognized. IT is safe to say that more
people read the political advertisements
skillfully displayed by experts, than
read the candidates speeches, set
forth in plain news shape. The question
of newspaper ethics came up frequently
during the campaign, and many read
ers wanted to know why the advertise
ments of the opposing party were print
ed. The New York World expressed
the opinion that it was altogether eth
ical for it to print the Hughes adver-
tisements, although heartily supporting
Wilson, saying:
The World has no more right to re-
fuse to print these advertisements than
1t has to refuse to print the speeches
made by Mr.. Hughes. We have our
own opinion of the Hughes speeches
and likewise OF the Hughes advertise
ments. and we shall continue to dis
cuss them with searching frankness;
but print them we must. They are a
part of the record of the campaign"

T. RS Wilkes-Barre Speech
kansas City Star.l

1t is interesting to note that Luzerne
county, Pennsylvania, in which is To-
Gated Wilkes Barre. where Colonel
Roosevelt made one OF his fiery speeches
during the campaign, gave Mr.. Hughes
a majority over President Wilson of ap-
proXimately seven thousand.
John j. Casey, Democratic congress-
man, was overwhelmingly defeated by
Thomas w. Templeton, Republican.
Casey had served two terms and was a
member of organized labor, having been
business agent of his local union. Lu-
zerne county's union labor population
is larger by comparison than that of
any other congressional district in the
United States.
1t was because of this exceptionally
large labor vote that Colonel Roosevelt
singled out the district for his speech
dealing at greatest length with the
Adamson law. At the time of the
Colonel's appearance there, partisan
organs. for political effect carried re-
ports of his reception in which it was
said that the miners resented to appeal
made on behalf of Mr.. Hughes. The
Colonel. according to these reports, was
jeered as he led q procession from the
train to the place where he spoke.
These reports were discredited by
the responsible press associations. The
election returns show conclusively what
the workers thought of Colonel Roose-
Velt's analysis of the law to increase
wages.

DIARIES AND INCUBATION

TINE recent unfortunate experience
of this city with typhoid. an out
come of Indifferent dairy inspec-
ton or no inspection, has been dis
cussed generally by the medical fra
ternity and all interested in the health
of Harrisburg.
An interested citizen, who has been
q sufferer through typhoid. has sug-
gested to the Telegraph that in the
adoption of new regulations affecting
the dairies and ice cream plants of the
city and it's suburbs a provision should
be included for the incubation by the
typhoid serum in the case of all en-
ployes of these plants. There can be
no doubt that prompt use of the anti
typhoid serum during the epidemic
prevented many additional cases. This
has been demonstrated in a recent in
cident at the Harrisburg Hospital,
where supervising nurse, the only
one who had not been inoculated, was
stricken with the disease and an op-
Grafton was performed this week to
save her life.
that inoculation is mere fad, but
this case. like thousands of others, is
direct refutation of the theory that
the serum is of no account.
Now that the epidemic has passed,
we should not rest in fancied security
until another outbreak arouses the
community to the Importance of pro-
tecting. itself against further invasion.
Typhoid is clearly preventable and it is
disgraceful that any modern city
should be the victim of carelessness
and Indifference upon the part of
those who supply foodstuffs from the
surrounding territory.
The suggestion of regulation re-
quiring incubation of all employees of
dairies and ice cream plants is in line
with good medical practice and we
trust the Department of Health will
take this matter into consideration in
its further preventive measures. Now
is the time to do it,

Credit Where Credit Is Due
tChambersburg Repository.1

i
Former leading Progressives are
taking to themselves much of the glory
Tor the Republican victory in Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t is very true that 1t was the
return of the Progressives of 1912 that
made a large majority in Pennsylvania
possible. But 1t was not due to the
so-called leaders. Many of the Pro-
gressives returned in 1914 and helped
elect Governor Brumbaugh, while many
of the so-cal1ed Progressive leaders in
the State refused to return and aligned
themselves with the Democrats doing
everything in their power to elect Mr..
Mccormick. Had they had their way
Governor Brumbaugh would not be at
Harrisburg to-day. 1t was the regular
Republicans and the Progressives who
refused to follow Colonel Roosevelt
in his campaign in this State for Mr..
Mccormick. that elected Governor
Brumbaugh. Now some of these So
called leaders are very pronounced in
their apparent loyalty to Governor
Brumbaugh and seek to take unto them
selves all the credit for the Repub-
licans carrying the State for Hughes.
The Progressives deserve all
the credit due them for their return to
the Republican party, thus solidifying
it and making Republican success pos
sible. but the credit Is due to the large
army of ProgresstveS who returned in
1914 and helped elect a Republican
governor, who has done more to bring
the party together than any other one
man in the State. The so-called Pro-
gressive leaders who came back this
year, of course, are heartily welcome
but 1t was the return in 1914 that saved
the party in Pennsylvania this year.
1t was the boys in the trenches
and on the firing lines of the Progress
sive party in 1912 who deserve the
credit for 1916 They came back in
1914. at time when they were most
needed, and helped elect a man governor
who has devoted much of his time to
reuniting the Republican party and
who has succeeded. The generals in the
Progressive party in this State came
back only after Governor Brumbaugh
had so solidihed the Republican party
that the so-called leaders had no place
else to go The voters of Pennsylvania
two years ago had such implicit conf
dence in Governor Brumbaugh that the
leaders of the Progressives could no
longer hold them In line, much as they
desired to do so. The Republicans had
nominated man for governor upon
whom all could unite. To Governor
Brumbaugh, largely is due the credit
for n reunited Republican party. Had
any other sort of man been nominated in
1914 the Progressives would not likely
have come back as they did and diff
ferent result would have been to chron-
icle then as we'll as in 1915.

INTERESTING SUGGESTION

TAYoR MEALS has suggested
1N1 method for keeping down the
tax rate which is worthy of
serious consideration. He observes
that some legislation may be necessary
to give his plan force and effect. but
the scheme has much to commend it.
1t is. in short, the diversion to the
general fund of the excess revenues
of the Water Department. For years
the city's water plant has been
profitable proposition and notwith-
standing the rates were reduced
wear or two ago by Commissioner
Bowman the surplus continues to ac-
cumulate.
It would appear to be entirely logical,
ina smuch as the water and lighting
systems are both under the control
and direction of the same department,
to so handle the funds that the profit
from water could be utilized in meet
ing the large expense of public
illumination.
In short as the taxpayers and con-
sumers of water are under the same
umbrella it ought to be easily pos
sible to reduce the pressure by making
the water pay the cost OF the light and
thus avoid increase of taxation for
purposes.
Mayor Meals should lose no time in
finding out whether his suggestion is
practical and within the law. If legis- |
lation is necessary, the Legislature can
be asked for such relief as the situa- |
ton demands.
And here, again, the need Of larger
measure of home rule for cities of
the Third Glass is emphasized.

of social betterment. toward total alb

tions for the masses. If this has not
been the result of this new interest OF
men in religion it Is certainly coinci-
dent to a very remarkable degree

MEN AND RELIGION

CEVERAL thousand Methodist Men
y of Pennsylvania will attend the
conference to be held in Harris
burg next week, and the announce
ment draws attention to the marked
Increase of interest the men of Amer
lea in recent years have displayed in
religious activities There are few so
young that they cannot recall the one
time vain appeals of preachers for
men at church services. The great
bulk of. church membership not so far
back consisted of women and children.
Mems Bible classes of to-day illus
trate the change that has taken place
in the past decade.
The most significant development of
the times is this reawakened interest
of men in religion. 1t is confined to
no locality and to no creed. Every
State in the union gives strong indi-
cations of the trend and every de-
nomination has felt its quickening in
fiuence. Nor is the movement con-
fined to any one class of men. In the
democratic atmosphere of the Bible
ers rub elbows with clerks and labor
ers and each learns not only the
truths of the Sunday school lesson
but the great truth that the difference
between men is largely that of rank;
that we are all beset by the same
weaknesses and imbued with common
attributes and characteristics.
There is not a more potent influence
for good in American society than the
mems Bible class and the mems move-
ment in the church, whatever be it's
denomination or creed. There is a
distinct trend apparent along the lines
