EVERYBODY OUT

IEVERYBODY interested in the big
II patriotic demonstration to be
held here April 23 should turn out to-
night. The committee will meet at
the courthouse at 7.SO, and all who
would like to have part in arranging
for the parade and rally that is to
follow are invited to be present.
Whether your name has been an
nounced formally as member or not
you are requested to attend.
Harrisburg is loyal; loyal to the
core. But that is not enough. There
is nothing like the congregation of
great masses of people to engender
enthusiasm in any cause. Just now it
is highly important that we all 'show
our coIors." When the line of march |
is formed April % it should embrace
delegations from every organization |
worthy the name in Harrisburg. Come |
out this evening and help plan for the |
big procession.
This applies to everybody, but par
ticularly to those who are heads of |
societies or associations that ought to
be in the parade.

NO NEED FOR MILITARIsM

NNE of the chief obstacles to the
assertion and maintenance of the
rights of the United States has
been the fear on. the part of many
of our own citizens that military pre-
paredness to defend those rights
would lead to a permanent policy
of militarism.
Study of our history proves that
there is no probability of such a re-
suit Following the Mexican War,
the Civil War and the war with
Spain, our armies we're disbanded
and the Commander-in-Ch found
himself with no increased power over
the lives and activities of the peo-
pie.
During the war in which we have
now engaged, unusual authority will
be vested in the executive branch Of
the government, but Congress should
take diligent care that such increased
power shall be limited to actual nee
essity and shall continue only until
the close of the conflict.
We want neither militarism nor
government by bureaucracy. Democ-
racy and centralized government are
irreconcilably antagonistic.

FULL SPEED IN JAPAN

T<EN years ago Japan possessed
1000 factories using power
machinery, with an aggre-
gate of 10000 horsepower. In
July, 1907, the total net ton
mage of Japan's commercial fleet
was $4,000. A recent investigation
shows Japan to have now 16, 900 fac
tories, employing 100000 hands, and
with total horsepower of 1,125, 900;
the tonnage of her commercial fleet
being 1,169,105. The Japanese fac,
tory hands receive about one-tenth
the wage paid to American factory
hands; the overhead factory charges
of Japan are nothing like what they
are in the United States; the cost of
operating a japanese ship nowhere
approaches the cost of operating an
American ship, and yet the Japanese
vessels operate under government sub
sidy. When the war is over how long
before Japanese prows will be sig
mailing full speed ahead for the Ameri-
can market where the only bar to for
eign goods is the badly sprung hyphen
in the Wilson-Underwood tariff law?

Baedeker's Opera

Orchestral place to leave your

cite in the foyer.
When the orchestra starts an ILL
hammered crashing to indicate the
approach of q finale, the gentlemen
arise and adjust their silk toppers.
Then in unison they walk briskly
down the aisle, tapping cigarets on
monogrammed cases.
On the descent of the curtain the
ladies' raise their hands aloft in the
attitude of prayer, simultaneously
bringing the palms together sharply
in quick succession. This is supposed
to register pleasure that the act is
over.

Kisses the applause and applauds the

of clapping from all those who wish
to prove that they are educated to
distinguish a conductor from a first

ductor's vane he of the billowing
locks and unstinted tie says, soto

girded by filet;

VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS

ID EADERS of the Congressional
IN Record will not fail to notice
that Representative Rankin, of
Montana, was recorded as voting with
the Republicans on all of the roll
calls which were taken on the open
ing day of the session In connection
with the election of officers of the
House.
She voted for Mann for Speaker
and so on down through the list to
Lyons for postmaster. Miss Rankin
announced before taking her seat
that she had been elected on the Re-
publican ticket and that she would
follow the nominations made by the
Republican caucus.
The only Congresswoman is in po-
sition, it would appear, to give some
Congressmen a few good pointers.

And Why Not?

When it seemed as if the United
States would have to fight France,
what did Adams do? Sent for ex-
President George Washington at his
Mount Vernon home and virtually
offered him dictatorial powers at the
head of an army. Indeed. Washing
ton refused TO accept unless he OBJ
tanned the power to name his own

With No Thought of War
kansas City Times


Chancellor Won Bethmann- Holl-'
veg says Germany has not attacked,
and will not attack the United States;
she does not want, and never did
want war with us-in short, he
strongly protests his friendly inten-
tions toward this Nation.
Very well, then. If he feels this
way about it, certainly we should be
fair and meet him half way. Though
not going on the same principles OF
international usage which permitted
Germany to kill Americans on the
seas, break treaties and enslave a ma
ton, we might, nevertheless, in our
case wholly in the unselfish interest
of humanity and international law,
adopt the German custom of making
a few rules" for the guidance of
any nation interested. And since Ger
many was so conscientious as to warn
the world of the things she was about
to do, we, too, should be fair and
warn the imperial German govern
ment of our rules.
For instance, we might let it be
understood that no submarines sent
out to destroy neutral lives or prop
erty shall be allowed to enter the At
lantic or Pacific oceans on penalty
of being blown out of the water.
Then we might let it be known
that, with the permission of the Bel
gian government, we propose to
march an army from Ypres to Liege
and liberate an enslaved people.
In doing these things we would not
be attacking Germany. OF course, If
any Germans were so reckless as
to get in the way and interfere with
these rules, they might get into trou-
bue, but that would be their own af-
fair, not ours.
We could solemnly assure the
chancellor that we were not making
war on Germany, never wanted war
and had no intention of making war.
Nothing, in fact, could be farther
from our minds.

THE RISING
by Thomas Buchanan Read
Nut of the North the wild news

" came.
Far flashing on its wings of
fame,
Swift as the boreal light which fiiees
at midnight through the startled skies.
And there was tumult in the air,
The f1fes Shrill note, the drums loud
beat,
And through the wild land everywhere
The answering tread of hurrying feet,
While the first oath of Freedoms gun
came on the blast from Lexington;
And Concord, reused, no longer tame,
Forgot her old baptismal name,
Made bare her patriot arm of power,
And swelfd the discord of the hour.
Within its shade of elm and oak
The church of Berkeley Manor stood /;
There Sunday found the rural folk,
And some esteem'd of gentle blood.
In vain their feet with lettering tread
Pass'd mid the graves where rank is
naught;
In that republic of the dead.
The pastor rose; the prayer was
strong:
ilS psalm WIS " aTIlOf s song
The text, few short words of might
The Lord of hosts shall arm the
right"
He spoke of wrongs too long eendured,
OF sacred rights to be secured;
Then from his patriot tongue of flame
The startling words for Freedom
came.
The stirring sentences he spake
Compelrd the heart to glow or quake,
And, rising on his themes broad wing.
And grasping in his nervous hand
The imaginary battle-brand,
In face of death he dared to fling
Defiance to a tyrant King.

By the Ex-Committeeman

1t was said on the Hill that the
bills introduced yesterday to change
the primary days from Tuesdays to
Saturdays were not expected to get
far. The experiment of holding uni
form primaries on Saturdays was tried
out and found not to be very satisfac-
tory and the change was then made
to Tuesday. Difficulty in making re-
turns and the fact that an election
day always interferes with business,
which is heaviest in many localities
on Saturdays, are among the reasons
given.
Opposition to Senator Beidle-
mans Home Rule resolution is said
to have developed among some of the
corporations of the State which fear
that it might not work to their ad-
vantage. On the other hand many of
the cities and practically all of the
boroughs are in favor of the proposed
amendment to the resolution which
would permit them to make their own
forms of local government and men,
bers and senator's who oppose the
measure will have a difficult time eX-
planning when they so back home.
Through the efforts of Senator
Ware, an agreement may be reached
between the Penrose leaders in the
Legislature and Governor Brumbaugh
as to the control of the $1,000 600
appropriation to be, made as an emer-
gency war fund in Pennsylvania.
Senators Sproul, McNichol. Crow
and Snyder, of the PenroSe delegation
have accepted Senator Vare's sugges-
ton, made last week when the ques-
ton first came up, that a board con-
sisting of the Governor, Auditor Gen.
eral and State Treasurer should ham
die the money. Senator Ware also
suggested that it might be wise to in
clude Lieutenant Governor McClain
on the board, as the other principal
officer of the Commonwealth and the
Penrose leaders said they would agree
whether the board was composed of
three or four State officials. Senator
Ware, acting for the Senate leaders,
who confer with Governor Brum-
baugh on the matter.
The senators have been placed in
possession of full information to show
that precedent always had placed the
expenditure of emergency funds of
this sort in the hands of the EXecu-
tive, and that in every State where
the Governor was commander-in-
chief of the States armed forces, he
was given like discretion.
1t has been decided to report quick
" the emergency war fund bill and to
speed it through in case the Cover
nor makes an agreement. The amount
will be kept at $2,00O,000, and should
larger and additional funds be re-
quired to cover the States share of
the war burden, the money will be
provided for in a separate bill, and
according to the Governors ideas,
spent under the direction of a war
board, because of the great response
bility and demands of the work. 1t is
the Governors idea that such war
board should be formed on lines in
accordance with precedent in former
cases in Pennsylvania.

MYTH the return to-day of Presi-
" dent Stamm no time should
be lost in taking up and finally
adopting the report of the special
advisory committee with respect to
the choice of high school archi-
tect.
The only argument that has attract
ed much attention in opposition to the
selection of William B. Ittner. of st.
Louis, has been that he might not be
able to complete the structures as
planned within the appropriation set
aside. With prices of labor and COM
modities as changeable as they have
been the past year, and always tend
ing upward with no sign of reduction.
any architect or builder might be
hard pressed to form an accurate es-
innate on an undertaking so large.
Eat on that score Mr.. lttner. in let
ter TO the board, has pledged him
self very definitely. He has said:
In looking up the program fur
nlshed me under date of January Is
by secretary Hammelbaugh, which
must be the program referred to.
ceived L can find no particular
mention as to sites, or any amount
out Of the total set aside for their
is the amount stated for the build
I6,s,d Ings in the program. From this, it
would appear that $250,000 has
the necessary sites.
Regardless. however. of the total
for the purchase of sites. IL is en- r
tlrely possible for me to plan with
IN IN the limits, fixed by the Board,
Tor individual buildings, and l can
unhesitatingly obligate myself to
do so, if entrusted with this work.
The statement that 1 do not plan
economically and am .eXtravagant,
IS neither warranted by fact nor
borne out by my record. On the
contrary, have TO my credit
cidedly to the contrary.
Mr.. Ittner calls attention to his
work along this line elsewhere. If
this is all there is in opposition to
the st. Louis man and the special
committee feels the way it does about
his ability and the advisability of Civ
ing him the work, then there is little
more to be said
He points out that at Dallas, Texas.
he has just completed three school
buildings, with $500, 600 for two high
SCHOOLS ana grammar school. The
. three buildings cost $5OO,65O, and
were completed for $5O9,17O, includ-
ing all extra work.
In Minneapolis, the general contract
for the Central high school was S401,-
166, and the building was not only
let within the limit of the appropri-
alton, but was actually completed for
$3,500 less than the contract price.
on account of economies found pos
sible during the progress of the work.
In conclusion, Mr.. Ittner in his let
ter to the board says:
Suffice it to say. that if awarded
this work, I will hold the costs
within the limits fixed by the Board.
and will make a careful study of
all the elements involved, local or
otherwise. with a view of having
the buildings not only efficient. but
