HER HYPHEN. - She is a great
artist and public favorite, but she is
a home-loving woman and, first of
all, good mother.
She was born in Germany, but
loves America.
She has a great shining face, with
a generous smile for every one, any
one, but her soul shiveTs and her
heart writhes in torture.
She stands up before thousands
and sings jOyOusly gloriously, and
for the thOusandth time reddens un-
der the applause of the delighted
thrOng; but over her head, its awful
presence always felt, hangs a sword.
You've heard her sing ''Mein
Sohnr' and she took your soul into
the Valley of the Shadow of Death
to recover those you'd loved and
lost awhile" You've heard her cry,
Death, let me inw and wondered
that the tomb didn't open to a moth
er's appeal
She has a beautiful home; but it's
under a pail, a pail Of powder smoke
and blood. The little boy, who yes
terday chung at her left knee and lis
tened and smiled at her folk songs, is
in the German navy; the lad who lis
tened and smiled at her right knee
is in the U. S. navy, and, tomorrow,
or next week, or next month, the
message may come that they have
met and killed.

The other night she got of a train
at San Diego and went to her hotel
She was very tired. She had recent
ly come from a hospital But a big
crowd, with a band of music, was al
the hotel to greet her. There were
shouts of welcome, cries for a sight
of her.
Then Schumann-Heink stepped
forth and sang The Star Spangled
Banner!'

Predicts Dry New York

If the war continues New York
City is likely to vote dry" in April,
1919, William II. Anderson, State
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, predicts.
EARLY this fall" he said, "our or
ganization will call conference in
each of the boroughs and later a
city-wide conference to get UP a
petition for vote by the necessary
one-fourth of the voters, approM-
mately 100000. The league will not
try to force a vote, but will put
its staff and resources and organiza-
ton at the service of the city in
order to help secure a vote If there
is a general demand for it,"
He said the mems Bible classes in
the churches would circulate the pc
titions in every block
If the petition gets the requisite
signers the city will vote next April
on the question whether or not it
will come under the provisions of
the local option law. If the city so
votes, the special election of April,
1919, will decide whether the town
shall be wet" or dry" Under the
statute 1t Is possible. Mr.. Anderson
said, for the people to close the sa-
looms without stopping the sale of
liquor in the hotels, thus giving
them a period in which to adjust
themselves to the inevitab able.-From

THE GARY PLAN

NTHILE the building program
wv adopted by the Harrisburg
school district is far from sat-
isfactory to the average citizen,
there is still hope in the public mind
that some steps will be taken soon to
prevent an entire miscarriage of the
original thought of the community.
1t has. been learned since the out
come of the controversy over the Sc
lection of architects that there is
considerable difference of opinion in
the matter of the junior high schools
and their development. There is
also much interest in what is known
as the Gary plan, which provides for
continuous eight-hour day divided
between work, study and play. This
arrangement is in effect at Gary and
Is said to be working out with salts
faction to everybody, inasmuch as 1t
provides for the care and training
of the children during the full day.
They are prepared in this way for
the activities of life and it is thought
that the plan should have further
consideration here before any final
steps shall have been taken by the
school board in the matter of the
building plans.

Revive the Schoolship

In view of the depleted finances of
the State and city a few years ago,
there was doubtless some warrant
for disseminating the appropriations
to the nautical training ship, so long
Jointly maintained by both, especial
ly as the number of students showed
n declining tendency but there is eX-
cellent reason now for restoring this
admirable adjunct to the educational
systems of the Commonwealth and
municipality. There is bright pros
pect ahead for the American mer-
chant marine. and capable officers
will be needed. There promises to be
opening for all the boys who can be
turned out from such training ships
There is now pending in the Legis-
lature a bill appropriating $4,000
for revival of the Pennsylvania
nautical school, provided that Phil
adelphia gives an equal amount, and
it certainly should be passed. Just as
surely this city should furnish the
other $4,000. The old Saratoga, and
later the Adams, trained many young
mariners for lives of usefulness upon
the sea, and the school should be re-
stored. The time is most opportune
for 1t. The Delaware River is said
to be the greatest shipbuilding CEN
ter in the world. We should also
give here the technical training that
will fit young men to navigatae some
of these vessels.-Philadelp Rec.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
swHAT WILL THE JUDGES Do?Y

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
This question has been asked with
reference to the closing of saloons
on registration day. Happily this de-
sirable end has been accomplished
by a request from the proper, the
executive, officer of our city. Truth
fully has it been said of the Mayor
that he has no authority to enforce
his request. 1t is equally true of the
Judges. In the frequent queries as
to why our Judges have not ordered
the closing of saloons at certain
hours or on certain days we have
waited in vain for some reference to
the law granting such authority TO
the court. Because in some districts
Judges have exercised the power to
close saloons 1T is assumed that our
Judges are at fault because they have
failed to act in like manner. 1t IS
plain that the distinction is not made
between power and authority. Since
when has the judicial arm of the
government been invested with func-
tions of the Legislative or Executive
arms? The invasion, by one branch
of government, of the domains of an
other branch is always to be deplored
Notwithstanding the present benefit
to be gained by such act. The bet
ter the cause the more dangerous the
act, because a desirable end achiev-
ed may blunt the vision to the dan
ger of an entering wedge to the mis-
use of power. 1t Is to the credit of
the Dauphin county judges that they
refuse to exercise power which
does not inhere in the office.

This Is Your War
Nashville Tennessean. /


Outside of Washington, New York,
and other large cities of the East,
Americans are not yet awake to the
seriousness of the grim struggle, to
the death into which this nation has
gone.
There is much waving Of flags, pa
triotic rallies, and some enlistments,
but the ominous cloud which now
hangs over the country's future is
not seen.
One speaker who came to this city
from the battlefelds of France gave
this advice: Take five minutes each
day to think as hard as you can what
this war means to you.
Conceive, If you are not of craven
heart, what defeat to America will
mean Think. Think hard. Victory is
far from certain. England and
France, our own leaders tell us, were
whipped when the United States en-
tered the war as their ally. Our
actual aid at arms has so far been
almost negligible, and there is little
Immediate promise of any substan-
tial assistance. 1t is possible that
England and France may be forced
to acknowledge defeat before we
can take an effectua1 stand by their
side. Germany SCOTS at us.
Have you yet taken your part in
the struggle that your brothers have
entered for America? Think that
over also
This is not written to frlghten
anybody. This is no time for panics.
Keep to the normal in all things ex-
cept those where your country calls
you. But in the name of all that you
hold sacred don't deliberately refuse
to realize that this IS your war.
