disproved as the resu1tsof an investiga-

visited the scene. They expressed the
opinion that tho cattle had died from
eating fresh vegetation in q swampy
place during the excessively hot
weather Of last week. There are said
to be several varieties of weeds which.

DESPICABLE POLITICS

ITCHELL PALMER has stoop-
IV ed to many disreputable prac-
tees during his career in
pennsylvania politics, but none so
oesplcable as his latest attack on
Governor Brumbaughs appointments
to membership on the exemption
boards.
Palmer charges that the Governor
mas appointed men to these boards
VINO Will send to the front only men
who are opposed to the Republican
organization in Pennsylvania.
Palmer is not only a liar, but a
stupid liar, and his charges are so
palpably false that it is scarcely
worth while to reply to them. Look
over the list of Dauphin county an
pointees, for illustration. Is there a
man among them who would stoop
to such trickery as Palmer's jaun-
diced vision conjures up? If so, will
not Mr.. Palmer or his local disciples
point him out?
1t is evident that Palmer and his
friends know none such. They would
be only too happy to quote one ex-
ample, if they did.
But consider the matter from its
political side. Palmer accuses the
Governor of trying to bolster up the
Republican organization in Pennsyl-
vania. Now it happens that Govern
or Brumbaugh and the Republican
organization are bitterly opposed to
each other, throughout the whole
State. Under the circumstances is it
likely that the Governor would do
anything to strengthen the political
organization he has been fighting
since his Inauguration
Palmer is self-convicted of living
at every turn. Not only that, but by
spreading such false reports as this
he comes perilously near to treason.
And in this respect it may be asked. |.
what has Palmer done by way of
patriotic service since this war start
ed that entities him to set himself
up as critic of anybody, Republican
or Democrat?

If any person eats the same

Niagara Speeds Up Autos

1t was the touch of Niagara that
transformed aluminium from q labor
atory curiosity into one of the most
essential of all the minor metals, one
with which it would now be difficult
to dispense and which has been
power to the Allied arm in the
European war. Take it out of the
automobile industry and the stream
of cars would fall to low-water mark
instead of rising above II.
Between Niagara's alloys and her
abrasives, 1t is estimated that every
industry utilizing steel has multiplied
its productive powers by three. En-
gineers who know every phase of the
processes of automobile manufacture
declare that IL 1t had not been for
these abrasives and alloys every mo-
torcar factory in America would
have had to slow down to .one-fifth
of its normal production when the
war broke out.--From the National

Children of War

Not for a transient victory, or some
Stubborn belief that we alone are
right;
Not for code, of conquest do we
fight,
But for the crowded millions still to
come.
This, unborn generations, is your
war,
Although it is our blood that pays
the price.
Be worthy, children. of our sacri-
fee,
And dare to make your lives worth
fighting for.
We give up all we love that you
may loathe
Intrigue and darkness; that you
may disperse
The ranks of ugly tyrannies and,
worse,
The sodden languor and complacent
sloth.
Do not betray us, then, but come
to be
Creations crowning splendor, not
its slave;
Knowing our lives were spent to
make you brave,
And that our deaths were meant to
set you free.

A WORTHY BILL

VI please thousands of people in
Central Pennsylvania and at
the same time provide a much need
ed means of accommodation
Tor traffic of all kinds by signing the
Beidleman bill for a bridge over the
Susquehanna river at Millersburg.
This bill has been before the Leg
lslature twice. Once it was passed by
the Senate and fell in the House for
lack of revenue. This year the ap-
preparations committee approved IT
and both House and Senate passed It,
II Is now up to the Governor.
The proposed bridge is not merely
@ local project. 1t has to do with
travel east and west across the State
1t would provide means of uniting
two prosperous communities and
give the people west of the river an
all-the-year outlet for their trade
and produce, which they do not now
have. There is only one bridge be-
tween Harrisburg and Sunbury, and
that is old, inconveniently situated
and excessive toll is charged for it's
use. The Millersburg route would pro-
vide a short cutfrom one big highway
system to another and would trans
form the commercial conditions of
the whole district on both sides of
the Susquehanna river for miles
around. 1t would be fine beginning
