New Ambassador to Japan

For the second time during the
Wilson administration Pennsylvania
has had the distinction of furnish
ing an Ambassador to Japan. The
appointment of Mr.. Roland S. Morris
to that important post is not a sur
prise, and it is generally understood
that it was made upon the recon-
mendation of National Chairman
Vance Mccormick, to whom the post
was originally offered.
The appointee is a man of educa-
ton and standing, although he has
never had diplomatic training or eX-
perience, unless the chairmanship of
the Democratic State committee is to
be placed in the category. Probably
one who is able to emerge from that
position with whole head and an
uninJured reputation may be con-
sidered sufficiently deXterous in mind
and body to fill the most difficult
diplomatic position. Our relations
with Japan at present are apparently
agreeable, and it is quite likely that
they will remain so, but we are living
in strange times and it may be that
Tokyo will suddenly assume immense
importance in the worlds affairs.
When Mr.. Gerard was sent to Berlin
everyone assumed that his most im-
portant duties would be in attending
State dinners but Unexpectedly ne
found himself in the whirlpool of a
great war. However, he met the sit
uation very well, and there is no
reason for supposing that Mr.. Morris
would not do likewise under stren-
uous circumstances.
From the standpoint of State poll
tics the selection is likely to cause
some heartburnings, none the less in
tense, because they may be borne in
silence. From the time Mr.. Wilson
assumed office he has given the pat
ronage of Pennsylvania to a select
coterie. A few men have taken all
of the choice plums, while the rank
and file OF the party, famishing for
the want of few crumbs, have been
permitted to do most of the hard
work. When nominations or appoint
ments are to be made they go to Mr..
Mccormick, Mr.. Palmer or Mr.. Nor
ris, or to some close personal friend
of these three receivers of the Dem
ocratic party in Pennsylvania, for as
everyone knows that party in this
State is bankrupt and its only assets
are the places that are given out
from time to time by the President.
The very scarcity of the loaves and
fishes would suggest a more euuit-
able division. The "Old Guard"
Democrats get nothing. and, as some
wit has suggested, very little of that
The three favored ones have formed
little Hog Combine" of their own,
and all who do not swear by them
are forbidden to come within the
sacred circle.
Partisan and factional politics re-
ceive scant attention from the peo-
pie in these stirring days. but when
conditions become normal the mem
bers of this Democratic combination
may have to fight to retain the spoils
which are now coming to them with
out any. apparent effort.-Philadel

i. President and Pickets
o the Editor of the TcIeerobh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
DR.. Anna Shaw in a telegram 70
the President mentions the army of
suffragists who deplored the picket
ing of the White House. But there
was greater army of suffragists
who applauded such work and who
have failed to see the courtesy and
patience on the part of the Presi-
dent that Doctor Shaw talks about.
Those splendid women who have
braved inclemency of weather,
fatigue of body and endured the
jeers and insults of creatures called
men, would have still been in the
Virginia workhouse had 1t not been
for the splendid work of such men
at Malone, Hopkins and Colby and
the great protest which arose all over
the country against the lack of JUS
tice and shameful indignity of the
whole affair.
Further along in her message to
the President Doctor Shaw speaks of
the sacrifice, courage and persist
ency of women that have labored for
seventy-five years for their enfranch-
isement. Yes, Doctor Shaw, and
they would have kept on laboring
and sacrificing for seventy-five years
longer if real women would not have
been willing to go to prison for the
principles they hold so dear.

FIRE COMPANIES MOVE

THERE doubtless will be entire
harmony between the four fire
companies of Harrisburg which
will double up as a result of the re-
movals from the Capitol Park zone
One will find a welcome at the
Friendship headquarters and the
other at the Hope house.
p The Mount Vernon Hook and Lad
der and the Citizen fire companies
are two of the older organizations
of the city and it is understood there
will be no change in their relation
to the department, each maintaining
its separate identity.
1t would seem that there might be
some little demonstration upon the
retirement of these two companies
from their own quarters and their
reception under the hospitable roof
trees of their friendly neighbors. the

MARVELLOUS MECHANISM

THE marvellous mechanism of
the news gathering associations
of the country and the vast op-
erations of the telegraphic compan-
les were never more brilliantly DEM
onstrated than by the draft draw
ings in progress the past two days in
Washington.
Take the HARRISBURG TELE-
GRAPH, for example. When yes
terdays edition went to press it car
ried every number drawn at Wash
ington up to an hour previous. AL
most as soon as the numbers were
known they were flashed by wire in
to the TELEGRAPH Office. When
the extra editions of the paper were
printed at s and 10 p. m. all the
names drawn up to those hours
were included in the lists, this being
made possible by concentration of all
the mechanical forces of the Office
to that end.
In thousands of newspaper offices
all over the country the progress of
the great lottery was recorded as it
was by the TELEGRAPH. The
achievement is all in the work-a-day
routine of the newspaper Office.
Every day, in some manner or an
other, it is duplicated. Nevertheless,
it is a marvel of facility and enter
prise made possible only by the re-
markable development of the tele-
graph and the vast Improvements of
recent years in printing machinery
and news gathering.

THE ARMY IN FRANCE

vertised "a chance to see the world"
That was another inducement. The
opportunity to get into the greatest
conflict in the worlds history, to
play an active part in the epoch
making drama, counted in the scales
for or against enlistment. Then
there was one big, broad shouldered
chap from Nebraska. He probably
summed it up when he said these
words: You see, these poor devils
have been having a pretty tough
time, and L guessed it was up to me
to give 'em a hand if 1 could. So
here l am"
And the Yankees are going to
give 'em a hand"
Where will the Americans hit
the 'front.'? General Pershing knows
and the General Staff in Washington.
1t is question that was thoroughly
discussed when Marshal Joffre and
Lieutenant General Bridges, of Eng
land, were here with the French and
British commissions. They know
just where the entire American or
ganization will be used. The War
Department, however, has requested
that there be no discussions of the
disposition of the units along the
front, and particularly that there be
no references to individual regi-
mentS.
1t may be said without infringing
on the topics now taboo that France
wants relief, and she wants 1t as soon
as possible. Official circles in Paris
say their older men must have rest.
They must be withdrawn perma-
nently from the front and be re-
turned to their farms and their vine
yards and their shops. Many of them,
forty years and more of age, have
been fighting necessarily for three
years.
1t is these men America will re-
lieve. French man power is on it's
ebb. We must supply the deficiency.
Not only must we meet this def
cheney but we must make certain
that the allied numerical superiority
creases.
That is the big task of the United
States in the field.

MUNICIPAL SINGING

TT ARRISBURG is tagging behind
II other progressive cities Of the
country in the matter of mu-
niclpal singing. Here and there over
the land cities are organizing their
singers into choruses of mighty di-

casions the year around.
The slopes of Reservoir Park or

out expense. 1t would do much for

the draft, came the news that not
one man would be drafted from the

surance that for three or four
months more industry may go for

But though Harrisburg may re-
joice that its men have volunteered
to the number required as its quota,
it has no thought of reproach for
other communities where the young
men have awaited the draft. Ever

OUR VOLUNTEERS

HE volunteer system is not a
failure so far as Harrisburg is
concerned. IF men had volun-
teered the country over in the num-
bers they have in Harrisburg since
war was declared there would have
been no need of a consumption law
to raise the first National Army
which was called to the colors yes
terday. Harrisburg was one of four
districts in the State to have the
honor of a full quota before the
draft was begun. The honor is great
and it belongs entirely to the men
whose patriotism summoned them TO
duty even before the federal author
tiles in their wisdom deemed the
time ripe for calling out the hun
dreds of thousands who will go to
make up the first great citizens army.
This response of the men of the
city to the need of the hour is heart
thrilling to those of US who wit
ness it and a proud heritage to hand
down to future generations. It proves
that here. at least, the spirit Of the
fathers lives in the sons. This is in
deed red letter day in the history
OF Harrisburg.
But the fact that the first draft
leaves the city untouched has a value
not merely sentimental. The read
justment OF Industrial forces made
necessary by the enlistment of large
numbers of men into the Regular
service. the Marines and the Navy
has been so gradual that it created
little or no disturbance. The call
ing of the National Guard had been
discounted for months. and so
created little or no hardship. But
the draft was quite another matter.
Nobody knew where or who 1t would
hit. Every employer found himself
liable to the loss of a large percent
age of valuable workmen, but not
one of them, pending announcement
of the drawings, could take a step
to protect the business at stake. All
men liable to draft were in similar
quandary. They were not able to plan
a week ahead. Then. on tha day OF

East St. Louis Riots

East st. Louis, though a suburb of
of the great Missouri city, is itself in
Illinois. In that State the Chicago
Tribune, which, as it reminds us,
has failed the evil of lynching and
especially reproached its countrymen
Of the south for their failure to
stamp it out, does not propose to
offer any palliation of this outrage
in Illinois," 1t continues:
The blood of victims spatters the
State. The riot will burn as an un-
forgetable dishonor in our memories.
We do<not propose to talk now about
race hatred or economic rivalry or
any other learned aspect of the Of
fense. There is just one truth, one
sickening, shameful truth-in an
American city, in a city of Illinois,
there has been loathsome irruption
of the brute, and neither civilized
public sentiment nor constituted
authority was capable of arresting
it.
The East ST. Louis riot is nothing
to be covered with official white
wash. Illinois stands shamed before
the world. Her authority has been
proved futile. Her name will be a
byword If she does not establish
that authority, so it will never be de-
fed again."
A leader of the negro race, Booker
T. Washington's successor at Tus-
kegee, expresses his pain, chagrin,
and discourageme ent at these riots on
the eve of independence day, at Il
time when the nation is calling upon
negroes as well as whites to join in
the war for democracy" and the
square dear' for weak peoples.
Major Motion adds, in letter to the
New York World:
There is room in America for the
various racial groups to work out
their Valuation. Killing and manning
men because they are seeking cco-
nomic salvation is not, in my opinion,
credit to our civilization or to our
boasted doctrine of fair play With
all her faults, the south, at least, can
not be criticized for killing men seek
ing employment and better eco
nomic status"
