BY BRIGGS

speech, 1 remember we'll, was pune
tuated by the applause of those
who heard it. 1 have refreshed
my memory by reading the report
in tn ePublic Ledger, of November
20, which marks applause four times
during the address, and long ap-
plause followed by three cheers
for the President and the governors
of the States at it's close. This meets
the often repeated statement that
the address made little impression
at the time. On the contrary it was
most cordially received and uni
Versally commended, although the
close seemed abrupt, and the
audience, notwithstanding it's
fatigue from the length of Mr..
Everett's grafton, would have been
glad to have listened for many min
utes more to Mr.. Lincoln"
In the face of this, and to the
truth of which / can certify from
my own personal knowledge, and
as 1 have done heretofore, why
should any presume to say things
about this address and its impress
sion, like the following quoted from
a booklet known as THE Perfect
Tribute: Suddenly the voice came
in a queer, speaking falsetto. The
effect on the audience was irrepres-
SlDle, BnaSlly.' How does TINS COM
pare with what those say who were
present and heard that immortal
tribute?
Again, "a suppressed yet unmis-
taxable litter caught the throng,
ran through it and was gone" No
one present had even so much as
a vision of such a demonstration on
that solemn occasion.
And worst of all, There was no
sound from the silent, vast assem-
bly, and his speech had been as
he feared it would be, a failure"
Such statements will utterly dis
appear in the white light of truth.
1t is a pity many times over they
were. ever made.

WELCOME

| TIME Telegraph extends welcome
= this evening to the thousands of
readers of TIE Star-Independent
who with this issue are invited into
the Telegraph Family.
They will find in the Telegraph all
of the news and most of the features
to which they have been accustomed,
these in addition to the news and feat
ures that have made the Telegraph
the most widely read newspaper in
Central Pennsylvania.
The Telegraph invites the criticism
of these new readers. 1t desires to
please them. Its purpose is to serve
them not only with a journal of daily
events that will be complete from the
standpoint of it's news reports and
entertaining as to it's features, but
which will strike constantly for the
up-building of the community and
the welfare of the people. TIE Tele-
graph has had a long and honorable
career. 1t is now entering upon its
seth year. During that period it has
seen many newspapers come and 60
The bringing of the Star-Independent
beneath the roof of the Telegraph was
one of the changes in newspaper pub
lisLing which the years have wit
messed since the first issue of the Tele-
graph came from the presses more
than three-quarters of century ago.
1t was made necessary by business
conditions.
Newspapers, like all other business
enterprises, must earn a profit if they
are to have legitimate existence. The
most dangerous influence in any COM
munity is the daily newspaper that is
run at a loss, for it's publishers are
either tempted to take revenues from
doubtful sources or they are operating
their newspaper for reasons other
than the interests of the public. In |
that case, what they lose in dollars
and cents, it is safe to say, they mean
to collect from their readers either in
political support or otherwise through |
the medium of cunningly distorted
public opinion.
The newspaper that depends for its
support upon the loyalty of its read
ers is the newspaper that may be de-
pended upon to serve those readers
to the best of it's ability VIXEN their
rights are threatened in any way. 1t
is this kind of newspaper that the /
Telegraphs new readers will discover
it to be.
The Telegraph invites fullest and |
freest comment. Its columns are open i
to its readers for presentation of their
opinions on any subject of popular
interest 1t desires those who are
invited with this issue into its Family |
to feel at home. The latchstring of its
office is always out. 1t hopes to get
better acquainted.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH
BY the Rev DR.. H. c. Holloway, One of the Few Sur
vivors of That Historic Event

n HUCH has been written and
MI published in regard to Lin
ANA coins Gettysburg Speech.
Too much of this has been inspired
by q vivid imagination and of the
sacrifice of truth. Some of these
writer's were satisfied to make an
interesting story from mere hear
say. Two or many may hear the
same speaker and in writing an
account may differ somewhat, but
in some features, equally apparent
to all, they would agree.
1 have read, as we'll as compared
accounts with a great many, who,
with myself heard that immortal
tribute, and these have all agreed
as to the cordial manner in which
it was received. This, to me, is
happy coincidence and confirms me
that L was not mistaken in what
l heard and saw. All who have
written adversely, so far as l have
read are persons who did not hear
it, and were unborn at that time.
1t is a perversion of history to say
that Mr.. Lincoln's address at Get
tysberg was not well or most cor
daily received.
Probably no man living knows
more of the battle of Gettysburg
down to its minutest details and
what followed, than the Rev. Henry
Eyster Jacobs, d. D.. LII. D., the
dean of the Lutheran Theological
Seminary, at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia.
He was a classmate of mine in
Pennsylvania College. Gettysburg,
and a native of that town. He
was present, as 1 was, when Everett
and Lincoln delivered their famous
addresses at Gettysburg, on Novem-
Der 10, 1868, and has written a
most interesting account of them
in the Public Ledger. of November
review, of 1916. From this I quote
as follows:
"The general impression was that
of the great appropriateness of the
address, and of delight in the fell
citous manner in which these
thoughts had been expressed. The

NEW REVENUE NOT NEEDED

L N1H oIdte OL pennsylvania does
not need any new revenue.
New revenue means new taxes.
There are now enough taxes and far
tco many laws What is NEEDED is a
readjustment of the expenditures of
the Commonwealth
In the last decade the revenues of
this State have grown from $4,000
900 in round numbers to S3s,663,oOO.
In the previous decade they more
than doubled The difficulty has been
that expenses of government have
grown, too, and the Commonwealth
makes grants which are truly imperial
to charitable institutions, while appro
priating over 100000 annually for
the care and treatment OF the INDECENT
insane
Rather than get down to bedrock
and change the system of State ap-
preparations. some legislators are now
talking about additional sources of
revenue, or in other words new sub
1ects TO tax Granted, there are some
places whence the State is not get
ting the revenue it should. the busi-
ness of sleeping car and express COM
panies, among them That does not
mean that the list should be combed
to get others which are probably not
as justly taxable as the two lines of
business mentioned above or to dis
cover ways to further burden some
sources which are furnishing a fair
return or which, if taxed. would re-
suit in hardship and in the end touch
the already sensitive pocketbook
nerve of the head of a family.
The State of Pennsylvania has
spent some thousands of dollars for a
survey of its government 1t has been
we'll done and it is generally believed
that the report of the Economy and
Efficiency Commission will point the
way to effect savings in State admin
istration. The time is coming when
the State will have to vote more
money for its dependents and the
place to get 1t is from hospitals which
should have a greater measure of
local support from the people they
serve The State must provide more

THE TROOPERS. TOO

IN planning reception to the home
! coming men of the Eighth Pennsyl-
vania, those in charge should not be
neglectful of the members of the Gov
ernor's Troop. They should have seats
of qeual honor at the banquet with
their comrades of the infantry. The
troop arrived home at such an early
hour that a proper welcome was next
to impossible. When the Eighth comes
home amends should be made for the
previous lack of acknowledgement. The
troop is military body of which any
city might be proud.

DRESIDENT Wilson has done no
more praiseworthy thing since
his inauguration than the action
he took Saturday looking toward a
fuller and more exhaustive inquiry
into the present high prices of all
manner of foodstuffs. There has
been going on for months a more or
less comprehensive probe by the
Government of foods and food prices,
cuted vigorously enough to meet the
views of tie President. Prodded by
an opposition press and smarting un-
der the accusation that he has not
made good his lower-cost-o living
pledge, Mr.. Wilson has set out to see
what can be done in that direction
and there are indications that at last
we are nearing the formulation of a
report that may have a constructive
bearing on the food problem.
The President sums up the situa-
ton very well when lie says:
1t is obvious that there will be 10
sufficient incentive to enlarge pro-
duction if there does not exist an
unobStructed and economical system
of distribution. Unjustifable fluc-
tuations in prices are not merely
demoralizing; they inevitably de-
ter adequate production.
1t has been alleged before COM
mittees of Congress and elsewhere
that the course of trade in import
ant food products is not free, but is
restricted and controlled by artifi-
cial and illegal means. 1t is of the
highest public concern to ascertain
the truth or falsity of these allega-
tions. No business can be trans
acted effectively in an atmosphere
of suspicion.
If the allegations are well
grounded, 1t is necessary that the
nature and extent of the evils and
abuses be accurately determined, so
that proper remedies, legislative or
administrative. may be applied. If
they are not true, Ii Is equally es-
sential that the public be informed,
so that unrest and dissatisfaction
may be aliayed.
! Beyond question, the inquiry will
bring out much price juggling and
will show middlemen's profits in
many instances to be unjustifiably
large. But 1t will be found, also, that
one of the big factors is lack of ade-
quate distribution and marketing
methods. Millions of pounds oi
foodstuffs and millions Of bushels OF
vegetables and fruits go to waste ev-
cry year in the United States because
the proper means do not exist where.

The Puzzle

Of all the phases of this distressing
war the present attitude of Germany
toward the United States is the most
mysterious. Does she want to force
us into the war? Has she effected
a secret agreement by which Russia
Is to withdraw from the allies, and in
the expectation of an easy victory over
the enemies that remain, does she
wish to include us in the punishment?
Preposterous! OF course! But what
does her distinctive provocative atti-
tude toward the United States mean.
