4 PROPER INQUIRY

NONGRESS should pass the res
~ olution to investigate tie owner
ship of newspapers in the United
States for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not there is truth in the
report that a number of papers have
passed into the control of foreign gov
ernments, to be used for the purpose
of stirring up discomfort in the United
States and creating sentiment in be-
half of European powers with which
we are at variance.
1t is not probable that there are
many such newspapers, If any. But
the good name of all is besmirched by
such accusations as have been made
in Congress.
However, it is not difficult to be-
lieve that European diplomats would
be ready enough to buy up a few
newspapers if they thought their in
terests would be served thereby. To
do so would be quite in line with news
paper history in the United States.
Any man with sufficient money may
own a newspaper. The favorite in
SlFumenJ OF the mllllOnalre with pO-
1itical ambitions long has been his own
privately controlled mouthpiece. Cap
italists with axes to grind also have
found newspaper ownership useful in
cultivating public opinion or forestal-
ling unfavorable criticism.
Newspapers so controlled are per-
nicious influences in any community
They profess to be the servants of the
people, but they are wolves in sleeps
clothing. They are operated often al
financial loss to their owners. in order
that those owners may present news
and views colored and distorted &c
meet their own ends.
Wealthy politicians and designing
capitalists have carried this practice
to such lengths that it is no wonder
suspicion has been directed toward
publicity-seeking propagandists from
abroad. Publishers of legitimate news.

GENERAL TINSTON

HENERAL FUNSTON, the stormy
IT petrol of the American army and
idol of the American people, is
dead. Funston was the personifica-
.tion of courage. He was born fighter.
But he was more than that. He had
lthe Imagination without which not
even the bravest soldier becomes
great.
His career reads like that of an ad-
venturer of olden days His search
for the thrill of danger led him from
Deaths Valley to Alaska, from Cuba
TO the Philippines. from San Francis
co to Vera Cruz, and death found him
at his post of duty guarding the bor-
der against possible invasion. Instinct
and fate appear to have combined to
rake Funston where trouble was about
70 break. Always keen for adventure
he appeared to scent trouble almost
n.sfore it began to brew, and it was
his fortune to be assigned to the most
difficult tasks the American army has
been called upon in recent years tc
face.
The outbreak of the Spanish-Amer-
ican war found him the veteran artiI-
1ery commander of the Gomez forces
with twenty-five battles and thret
wounds to his credit. AS colonel oil

service he was sent to the Philippines

A Surrender to Spoils
(Wilkes-Barre Record)

President Wilson's second attempt
to oust Postmaster Edward NJ. Nor
gan of New York City comes at a
time when much business of great inn
portance presses upon the Senate;
and since the appointment cannot
take effect until the Senate confirms
1t, the likelihood of wrangle makes
the projection of petty spoils con-
troversy an affair of regretta Bile policy.
Mr.. Patten is at present a Repre-
sentative in Congress who failed of
reelection last November and whose
term expires on the fourth of March.
He is member of the Tammany or
ganization of New York and has been
one of its most steadfast supporters.
There is not the least reason to be-
lieve that he would better the ad-
ministration of the postal service in
the metropolis.
on the other hand, Mr.. Morgan. the
present incumbent, has made one of
the best postmasters in the history OF
the city. Having been advanced from
minor positions which he occupied for
many years, he entered the principal
office fully equipped by experience,
and his years of service in that office
have been eminently trustworthy and
satisfactory. Mr.. Morgan's record has
in every way justified the principle OF
promotion Independent of politics.
principle to which the President has
only recently expressed his adherence
The Postmaster Generals statement
in advance of the report of experts
sent to examine the office, that "the
interests of the postal service require
a change in the postmastership," will
be set down as the clearest kind of a
subterfuge to bring the appointment to
the Senate before the adjournment OF
Congress on the fourth of March.
The President has not had the
courage even in this one instance to
repel the clamoring advances of the
spoils mongers of New York. 1t was
hoped that he might make an excep-
ton in a case where personal qualifi-
cation was so eminent and the service
so satisfactory, but even in this con.
spicuous instance he has written the
act of surrender to political greed.

THE TALE OFTHE RED CROSS DOG
By BRIGGS

When he had covered less than half
the distance rifle ball shattered the
bone of his leg and down he fell
amidst the still bodies of the men
who had set out with him and lay
there in the blood and muck and filth
of the battlefield. The Russian fire
was so murderous that no one dared
bring him in. Presently a dark form
bounded from the German trenches,
rushed to Lieutenant Won Wieland' S
side, grasped his coat between his
teeth, and foot by foot, dragged him

was when q bullet creased him from
shoulder to flank. The blood gushed
from the wound but the dog took a
fresh hold and finished his job at the
edge of the trench where willing

struck. gnawed through his leash and
rushed to him. There are evidences
| that Steif is partly of great Dane
breed, partly mastiff and partly hound,
but the rest of him is pure dog mis-
cellany.
Man and dog were both taken to
the hospital and the surgeons work
ed as hard over the one as they did
over the other. Then one day, when
His Majesty made his rounds, they
brought Steif in on cot and placed
him beside the lieutenant. The En-
peror had heard the story and as he
came along he took from the supply
that he carried with him, an iron
cross, which he pinned upon Won Vie
lands bosom. Then, taking another
iron cross. he tied it to the collar of
the dog"

Under the caption, "Merciful Dogs
of War" Ellwood Hendrick, in The
Red Cross Magazine for February,
says:
Dogs are never trained to scent
out the dead. Their business is to
assist the wounded.
There ;a'e canine sentries on duty
on both sides in the Great War, and
dogs that are dispatch bearers. Mar
quis, q French dog, fell dead from a
bullet wound almost at the feet of a
group of French soldiers to whom
he bore q message across a she'll
raked stretch of country. But the
message was delivered! And there is
Stop, of the Fifteenth Army Corps,
the savior of many wounded, and
Flora, of the Twelfth Alpine Chas-
seurs, merciful dogs of war with rep
utations for distinguished service.
There are many Stops and Floras
actively engaged in humanitarian serv-
ice, and it is quite unfair for me to
single out individual animals - a
conference of dogs of war would
doubtless so decide except as a
means of giving typical stories of
what are everyday exhibitions of in
telligence. devotion, and self-sacri-
flee on the part of dogs of numerous
breeds in the vast zone of battle.
The people in the warning coun-
tries are called on for many and vari-
ed contributions. The French War
Department has on record communi-
cation from the father of a family
which poignantly illustrates this, for
he wrote: "I already have three sons
and a son-in-law with the colors; now

AN oLD-FAsHoNED WINTER

I n LTOONA has had zero tempera-
IA ture for the fourth time in ten
days. Harrisburg has experienced
almost equal severity of weather. The
river is closed more tightly than at
any time for years. And yet there are
those who sigh "for old-fashioned
winters.'
Truth is that the winters of recent
years nearly all have been cold
enough for all. purposes. Not only
that, but springs have been cold,
late and wet. This is hard on the
farmers who wouldn't mind the
low temperature if winter left
them as a heritage good spring
ploughing and planting weather. Espe-
cially are such conditions desirable
this year, when every effort must be
strained to produce bumper crops of
all vegetables, fruits and grains. Gen
orally favorable agricultural yields
would go long way toward solving
the food shortage problem.

commanded the relief force there.
Again, he was in charge of the expe-

the border during the troublous days
of the Pershing expeditions.
General Funston arose from tie
ranks. His career is an illustration OF
the possibilities that lie before any
American boy of talent and resource,
With not even a college education,
and lacking West Point training, he
arose to a commanding place in the
military life of the,nation and attained
a permanent place in the national hall
of fame. His death removes at crit
ical period in the country's history one
of its very strong arms of defense in
case of war.

of the nations best and noblest men
have been those very boys. But while
one was trudging his way to school
despite every obstacle, how many
there have been who have failed to
follow his example! And how much
ignorance has been the result!
With the modern idea of centraliza-
ton of the rural schools, the country
boy and girl are receiving educational
advantages every whit the equal of
those of their city cousins. But with
the coming of these community
schools the transportation trouble be-
comes still more acute; and If they
are not to fail of their purpose, some
provision must be made for cheap
transportation of the pupils.
