MORAL PREPAREDNESS

Parents who would bring up their children to expect everything and
give II D nothing often can't understand why the naton should not be
equally indu1gent towards these favored mes. The truth cannot be re
peated too often that a pampered son is a national menace. He is a lW-
ing negaion OF the American spirit The practice OF certain indugent
parents of shielding their children from every difficulty and danger and
helping to bring II a generation OF sen-seeking. easelovng lei who
cannot stand this universe and begin to blubber every time they are asked
to bear their share of LIES burdens, is the surest way to invite national
disaster
There is no country in the world where people demand more OF life
than we do, II 10 place where ease and comfort are Sc easily attained. no
place where n may so easily become the victim of the illusion that he
at least, has been lifted out Of the struggle for existence. All too prev
a1ent is the desire to find a easy berth for oneself to seek some mag
ial short cut ito the possession and enjoyment OF the good things of
earth, shirk the hard knocks, and pass or the disagreeable end Of the
business Of living to some n else.
Every republic in history which has failed has gone down prn-
cipauy for the reason that it's pampered citizens wanted somebody else
bear their burdens and do their fighting for them. The best thing
about this Mexican trouble is that it has provided an opportunity to
impress upon a hundred thousand young men OF this country so that
they will never forget it the lesson that patriotism is something more
than mere sentiment about the flag, that manhood demands strenuous
effort, that the advantages of a great free national life may not be n
joyed without discipline. sefsaCrihce, and hard, commonplace tasks
we'll done and shared by an-New York Tribune.

MORE PRAISE FOR THE ENEMY

Even in the stress of a political campaign there are to be found oppo-
siion newspapers big and broad enough to give credit to the Democratic
administration atW Washington for some OF its achievements.
In addition to warmly commencing the presidents efforts to prevent
a nationwide railroad strike. the New York Tribune (RepubHcan) en-
Enthusiastically endorses the Federal Child Labor measure In a leading
editorial it describes it a "a great reform" and, referring to President
Wilson's insistenCe upon its passage, a that he is entitled to credit
nov that the bill is safely on its a t. him"
The Democratic position upon the Philippine question ehcits the
warm approval Of the Boston Herald (Repubican). I'VE Sc nothing
surprising or improper" says the Herald, I'm the promise which the
Democrats have just made to give the Fiipinos their independence as
soon as they demonstrate their fitness for selfgovernment"
President Wilson'S Mexican policy is heartily approved by the Los
Angeles Tribune. an ardent Progressive newspaper. THE refusal OF
President Wilson, "a the Tribune, to recognize IIuerta at the time
received the Morning Trbunes hearty support, and viewing that Issue
in retrospect W e see n @ reason o wto change II attitude eve though
the presidents policy receives the present condemnation OF the candidate
who n other grounds receives or support"
This newspaper also endorses the administrations Shipping bill
characterHng it as representing constructive craftsmanship of the high
est order"

If we are not mistaken. Senator Borah OF Idaho, believes, as Pres
ident Wilson does, in votes for wonen. But the Republican statesman
from Idaho is in agreement also with the Democratic president in his
belief that the terms of suffrage are matters which each state has and
should have the right to determine for itself. 1t is highly significant
that Senator BOrah has publicly stated that the declaration OF Mr. Hughes
for woman suffrage by amendment OF the Federal constitution has not
added one particle Of strength to the Republican ticket" There can be
little doubt that Senator Borahs blunt statement ums up the situation.
The Republican party officially is opposed to that which its candidate
processes to favor. \ large element OF Republicans are disguised with
the very evident purpose OF their candidate to surrender any principle
for votes. And women OF intelligence who give the matter thought will
favor Mr.. Wilson. who took the trouble to go to New jersey to OF for
woman suffrage last fall, rather than the sudden convert to the Susan B
Anthony amendment who thought 20 little of woman suffrage while still
the same time

Rounding Up Runaway
Hampers" in Rain Beats
Chasing Creased Pigs

When Karl Steward. secretary of
the c. Day Rudy Company, is not
establishing new records for the sale
of stained glass windows or making
after dinner speeches before the Har-
risburg Rotary Club he loves to go
fishing. Bass and salmon fairly fight
each other to get caught when he casts
in his line, but it's different, oh, very,
very different with lamprey eels
Mr.. Steward demonstrated this to
his own satisfaction and that of a
party of grinnine friends this morning
when he stepped off a West Shore car
with an umbrella in one hand and a
bucket of fine hampers" in the other.
A swish of the wind turned his UNI
brella wrong side out and in trying to
recover his balance Steward and the
lampreys went down together Mr..
Steward got up in a moment. Not so
the lampreys. They reveled in their
neW-found freedom.
After 1t was all over and the eels
were back in the can Mr.. Steward con-
fidentially informed a party of friends,
as he wiped his perspiring brow, that
he'd just as soon any day undertake to
capture a herd of creased pigs as to
round up a bunch of runaway
hampers.

WET DAY BRINGS
PUBLIC DEMAND
FOR SETTLEMENT
Gilday Says Both Sides Owe 1t
to Greatest Sufferer to Arbi-
trate Dispute
MAY POSTPONE PARADE
Will Man All Cars, Musser
Says, if Men Do Not Return
as individuals"
MAY POSTPONE PARADE

The heavy rain of to-day brought
to a head the public demand for a
settlement of the street car strike.
Scores of the jitneys that have
thronged the streets did not venture
from their garages and hundreds of
working people trailed wet and un-
comfortable in dripping lines along
the streets to their places of employ
ment. Discomfort and discomfort
were manifested everywhere. That
there should be ground whereon the
men and the company could meet
without loss of honor or prestige to
either appeared to be the general con-
sensus of opinion.
Patrick Gilday, head of the State
Bureau of Mediation and Arbitration,
hit the nail on the head so far as
public opinion is concerned, when he
said: IF no meeting between the
strikers and the company is possible,
then both sides owe 1t to the public,
which is the greatest sufferer, to sub
nit their case to arbitration"
Mr.. Gilday made his statement
when he learned that the Harrisburg
committee of the union tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, but insists on
dealing with the men "as employees" "
The strikers again declared this
morning that they will insist on re-
cognition of the union, and are willing
and have been since the strike started
to submit to arbitration.
To Man All Cars
President Frank B. Musser, of the
Railways company said this morning
that the company has decided not to
recognize the union, and should the
men on strike not meet with him to-
morrow morning as employees, ar
rangements will be made instantly to
man all cars on all lines of the COM
pany and resume regular service to
all points.
Owing to the steady rain Of to-day,
the parade this evening may be post
poned. Union men stated at noon
that should it rain tonight the par
ade of the strikers. labor organizations
and sympathizers probably will be
held on Thursday night. Tomorrow
night big mass meeting open to the
public will be held in the Technical
High school auditorium.
Operate 20 Cars
Twenty-Five cars were operated
during the day on the city and su-
burban lines of the company, with
service to all points except Oberlin
and Hummelstown. For the first
time since the strike became effective
cars were operated on the Lingles-
town line of the company.
President Musser announced this
morning that the new men now op.
