Take Away the Subsidy |!

The periodical publishers who ap-
peared before the Senate Finance
Committee on Saturday in a desper-
ate effort to defeat an increase in
second class postal rates were un-
usually frank in their arguments.
Their one fixed idea is to retain the
subsidy which the government now
grants them in the shape of un-
dercharges on the carriage of second
class mail matter.
They admit that they want to go
on enjoying that subsidy. and they
realize that, once 1t has been with
drawn the government will never re-
store it. They are therefore anxious
to substitute for an equalization of
second class rates, which will be per-
manent in character because JUSTIFIED
by sound principles of postal admin
istration, a purely emergency tax on
the volume of newspaper and maya
zine advertising. They could ask for
repeal of this tax when the war is
over. But they have no hope that a
scientific revision of second class
rates. through the introduction of
the zone system created by the
House bill, can ever be upset. 1t is
obvious that a trial of such a
scheme for a year or two would vim
dicate it completely. There would
then De as nIIle CldLCt VI a IeldpoS

second class matter for the benefit of
publishers unwilling to pay their
way as there would be of a revival
of the old parcel post fiat rate sys-
tenn, with its ludicrous limitation on
weight, for the benefit of the once
aIl-powerful express companies.
A general tax on advertising, with
a retention of the discriminating and

matter, would simply continue the

Mother Nature Smiles

In an interview published by "The
Nations Business" discussing the
crop conditions and the need for
more intelligent farming, F. d. Co.
burn says:
"But in the end we walt on Moth
er Nature; and just now the old lady
is friendly. Let me name two rea-
sons why 1 think ] see her smile:
First, farmers have known from the
beginning that when unkind condi-
tions destroy the winter wheat the
corn crop is likely to be record
breaker; second, we have had frost
and we have had insufficient rain,
Together these have ploughed and
opened up the deep, silent places OF
the soil. And so I feel that there is
a brilliant promise ahead of us de-
spite the apparent drawbacks we
have seemed to be encountering.
1t is a promise for which we may
well feel profoundly grateful. II
brings with it an opportunity such
rs has come to no nation before In
the history of mankind. For surely
we can ask no nobler part and no
greater privilege than that America
may be permitted to pour out upon
the peoples in their need its wheat
and wine and ola Good Samaritan

Keep On Agoing

Every mans duty to-day is to stick
to his last. Each one of us can do
his part most effectively by redou-
bling his endeavors at the occupation
in which he finds himself-railroad-
ing or farming, mining or advertis-
ing, selling groceries or making
shoes, banking or numbering. All of
our everyday occupations have their
great place in our industrial and
commercial structure, and this great
structure is the mighty force we
have thrown into the war.
our job for the moment is to in
crease our production and to make
our facilities of distribution equal to
the burdens we must place upon
them. In neither one of these Jobs
have we the tasks which all of the
countries earlier at war had to con-
front in the second half of 1914. AL
though not in the war, IN reality we
went through those days with the
belligerents. BY way of provision
against recurrence of such times, we
have since done a deal toward Great
ing the nucleus of an organization
for war, and in preparing our struc-
ture of finance, production and dis
,tribution for eXigencies of war we
made some real progress.
Our organization for war is now
taking form. Finance and industry
are adjusting themselves to the new
national situation. This is a period
of transition. In order that the end
of this period may find the country
puissant with confident vigor. every
man must bend to his present lob.
solve its new problems. and make
it more significant in his community.
Having done this. we can turn to the
direct tasks If war in later months.
when they are ready for us.-The
Nations Business.

Baseball Extras Cut Out

Evening newspapers in many of
the larger cities of the country are
disseminating their baseball editions.
This step has been necessary in
most recent cases where this has
been done to the printpaper situa-
ton. The Buffalo evening papers re-
Gently cut them out. If the baseball
clubs of this country could see the
wisdom of cooperating with the
newspapers by starting their games
sufficiently early to enable publish
ers to print the result of games in
late editions they would still be able
to get the publicity once enjoyed
through baseball extras.
The morning papers no doubt
welcome this retrenchment on the
part of evening newspapers, but the
public is fast losing interest in the
national game by being compelled to
wait until the following morning for
the scores.
It's a hard thing to teach an old
dog new tricks, however, and until
baseball magnates can be convinced
that they are not the only ones in
terested in the games they will in
directly suffer, due to decreased at
tendance and lack of interest. The
pages of space once devoted to base
ball dope and results is a thing of
the past, and publishers have long
ago realized that they were wasting
thousands of dollars worth of Valu-
able space each year for the benefit
of private interests for which there
never has ben a shadow of an eX-
cuse.
In many cities even the score
boards and tickers have been taken
out. Yet the circulation of these
newspapers goes steadily upward,
practically disproving the argument
! many times advanced that baseball
extras were necessary to maintain
subscription nlist.-Newspaper Circu-
lation Managers Bulletin.

The New Indiana
[From the Cleveland Leader. ]

l.
/, In spirit and in deeds a new state
has come into being just across the
western boundary of Ohio. 1t is
clear that in certain vital respects
Indiana has been born again.
That state was the first of, the
large members of the Union to fill
it's entire quota of recruits needed
for the regular army. Out of the
whole list of forty-e eight states only
three in the Far West. all of them
9small, reached the goal ahead of In
diana. Yet for many years after the
war which saved the country from
dismemberment Indiana bore a taint
of copperhea dism and was looked
upon by neighboring states as some
what lacking in the right sort of
patriotism.
Last fall, when the main issue of
the national campaign was militant
and thoroughgoing defense of Amer
ican rights and American honor, In
diana, long regarded as a common
wealth inclined strongly to the DEM
ocratic party, was swept by the Re-
publican tickets, national. state and
local. 1t showed plainly then the
same temper and high spirit which
recruiting for the army has abso-
lutely demonstrated this spring. And
now Indiana is for woman suffrage
and prohibition. Many things have
changed utterly.
1t is all a notable awakening OF
stalwart and inspiring Americanism
which is in entire harmony with the
great advances Indiana has made in
industries. commerce and general
prosperity. The new Indiana is
right in line with the most progress
sive states of the Union.

Liberia, Too
[From the Boston Herald ]

FROM the Boston Herald
The latest recruit in the great
world war between democracy and
autocracy is the little republic of
Liberia.
Child and ward of the United
States, with a constitution modelled
upon ours, Liberia has followed the
American example in breaking rela
tions with GERMANY. OF her total
population OF perhaps 100000 to
100000. only $4,000 are reckoned
as civilized, and these live along the
coast on a strip of land about twen-
ty miles broad. OF these $4,000
about 12 900 are American Liberians,
descendants of the former American
slaves who brought the little repub-
lie into being.
Liberia will not figure prominently
in the activities of the war. Her navy
is limited to a single armed ravenue
cutter. Her militia, volunteers and
police number about 400. but every
citizen from sixteen to fifty years of
age capable of bearing arms is liable
to serve. Small as she is, she has
not been overlooked by the covetous
eyes of Germany. Her palm oil re-
sources are rich and Germany would
like to control them. Before the war
Germany was extending her interests
in the little republic, and was using
the hardy Liberians for working her
ships up and down the coast. They
will figure no more in any such SER
vice. Instead, they can be modified
to advantage for war work in France
or upon British ships.

circumstance that Theodore O'Hara,

as he had served the Union points a
moral and adorns a tale of patriotic
valor outlasting political passion and
surmounting lines of battle.
Glorious History Written To-day
The final chapter of the glorious
history born at Lexington, Bunker
Hill and Yorktown, continued across
the Plains of Chalmette to Ralo Alto

thence onward to Shiloh, Gettysburg

1T is fitting that at this moment
such a reminder should be passed

ganization members. interested citi-
zens and clergymen and church
members. The keen interest of the
students resulted in their voting to
eliminate the Spring vacation and
continue the evening sessions until

To allay unrest due to the war a
proclamation was issued by the
Mayor of Youngstown announcing
that the property of aliens would
not be confiscated and individual
plants have announced that not one
foreign-born workman would be dis
charged simply because of national

Other important steps have been
taken by the Chamber of Commerce
of that city to encourage foreign
born residents to take advantage of

adjustment Of complaints and mis-
understandings and to protect for
eigners against exploitation: also So
cial and civic agencies. including fra
ternal organization, social clubs and
other means of aiding the new COM

social advantages of Americaniza-
ton. Foreign groups are consulted
regarding plans for work and their
approval obtained.
Other cities of the country are en-
gagged in similar work, to the end
that those who want to be Americans
in thought and purpose shall have
every encouragement possible.
The HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
has frequently called attention to the
large number of excellent men and
women who have come to us from
other shores and who are earnestly
desirous of becoming citizens of the

implies
Perhaps no better way to bring
about rapid headway in Americana
zation could be evolved than the CO.
operation of the employers of labor
with a joint committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Rotary
Club. These organizations are doing
much for Harrisburg and would
doubtless join efforts in a movement
to make real Americans of all who
have come here to better their con-
ditions.

York!-and who shall say that
Kearny, Custer and Mcpherson were
not Cavaliers?
Stonewall Jackson, Typical Puritan
The list might be extended inde-
finitely. Indeed, the one typical
Puritan soldier of the war of sec
tons served not the Union but the
Confederacy-Stonewall Jackson. 1t
was truly a war of sections-the
North against the South and vice
Versa-and except for the removal of
Abraham Lincoln from the scene the
popular coming together when it
was ended had been speedier, for the
men who on both sides had actually
fought its battles were ready at once
to fraternize. They-may the Cour-
ier-Journal not say we?-had had
quite enough of 1t. The generous
treatment of Lee by Grant had set
the pace as an example. All of us
wanted to wipe off the slate and in
good faith to accept the invitation of
the martyred President TO come
back home and behave yourselves
The period and process of recon-
struction proved more disastrous to
the South and sowed deeper differ
enceS than the conflict of arms. They
were wholly political and partisan.
Yet even they could not drive out of
the hearts of the Southern people a
latent Americanism, which was
bound to spring into life and action
when touched from without, so that,
preceded by many kindly words and
acts from Mckinley and men like
Mckinley, when the signal was fash
ed from Havana Harbor the answer
came as promptly from the South
as from the North. The first heroic
sacrifice, as chance would have it,
was a North Carolina lad of rebel
parentage.
South Prompt to Respond
TT is well for the whole country
at time like this to recall and re-
member these things. They are ac-
centuated by the scenes which will
mark the day in the nations capital.
Not one of the veteran confederates
arrayed there but would willingly
give his life to win the battle for
world freedom which is upon us;
most of them would gladly go to
the front If they could; while some
Of them have the fancy that the
rebel yell" if their old throats could
deliver il loud enough, would make

in the ears of the Hapsburg as If il
said: Rats, to your holes!"
Nowhere in the land do the pulse

promptly and firmly to the drum
beats of the nation than in the South,
| for which these gray clad, gray heads
and gray boards fought four long
heart breaking years. and he must
be a poor American who does not
J warm to them-even as MacCallum
