The Higher Faith

Trust thyself." Every heart vi
brates to that iron string. Accept the
place the Divine Providence has found
for you, the society of your contempo-
raries, the connection of events. Great
men have always done so, and con-
fided themselves. childlike to the ge-
MUS of their age; betraying their per-
ception that the Eternal was stirring
at their heart, working through their
hands. predominating in all their be-
ing. And we are now men, and must
accept in the highest spirit the same
transcendent destiny; and not pinched
in corner. not towards fleeing be-
fore revolution, but redeemers and
benefactors, pious aspirants to be
noble clay plastic under the Almighty
effort, let us advance and advance on
chaos and the lark.-Emerson.

Starting Newspapers

"A newspaper is as distinctly a busi-
ness proposition as any other COM
mercial organization. 1t Is unfortun-
ate, however, that politicians and 9TH
ers with money to burn" sometimes
acquire by purchase, start new or
otherwise gain control of newspaper
properties and make use of them in
advancing their own selfish personal
and political ambitions. 1t then often
happens that more newspapers are
saddled on a community than the
community'and the advertisers therein
can profitably support, and more than
are needed to fill the community's
news, political or publicity require
ments.
A case in point is the present news
paper war in our State capitol. A
new newspaper has been launched by
Vance Mccormick, eX-mayor of Har-
risburg and just now chairman of the
Democratic national committee. Nc
Cormick is also owner of the Harris
burg Patriot, a good morning news
paper which admirably fills it's field
and which has become a necessity to
both readers and advertisers. The
new paper has been named the News
and is endeavoring to make a place
for itself in the evening field, which
was already well filled by the Even
ing Telegraph. The Telegraph COM
pany recently purchased what re-
mained of the one-time successful
Star-Independent, also an evening
paper, which was compelled to sus-
pend because of restricted business
due to an over-crowded field. and to
the recent enormous increase in the
cost of production.
The chief income of a newspaper Is
from advertising. All advertisers
really want to do is to cover the field
thoroughly with as little expense as
possible, and it is q question whether
or not the News will be able to con-
vince Harrisburg advertisers that
they can do so in that city better and
cheaper with three newspapers than
with the two old papers. At any
rate, it will be a long time before the
new newspaper can be self-support-
ing. In the meantime large amounts
of money will be expended and the
use of much capital required, for in
these days of paper famines and high
costs the publishing of newspapers is
an expensive business to say the least.
To justify their expenditure there
must be some ulterior point to he
gained. In some quarters it is under
stood that Mccormick has not lost his
ambition to sit in the Governors s
CHalr anu lHdI MS new newspaper mas
been started and is being built to
further that desire. Be that as it may,
it looks as if Harrisburg is to have a
demonstration of whether there is q
real field there for another news
paper. In the last analysis, public
opinion, demonstrated through the
visible approval of readers and adver-
tisers, is judge and jury of newspaper
successes, regafdless of any backing
of millions and the Drawn and brain
which millions can buy. We will
watch with interest the career of the
News.-York Dispatch.

AMERICAN FACTORIES

NOTTON Cloth Business Is Still
~ Limited" says a headline in
the commercial news columns
of a nonpolitical paper. And the
Department of Commerce reports
increased imports of certain kinds
of cotton cloth. These imports
are coming from a nation now
engaged in the European war. If our
cotton mills are now selling less than
their output, and we are importing
cotton goods from Europe, there is
certainly something wrong and the
outlook is not good for the business of
the mills after the war ends and Eu-
ropean mills get back to a normal
working basis

1.-THE Ohio State Journal. !

TNHE Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin in an issue the other day
had this interesting comment
on State Commissions:
"Delving in the intricacies of the
law of decedents' estates is the hard
est kind of work for the average law
yer. No branch of the law has been de-
fined to such hair-spfitting technical
tiles and tinely-drawn divisions as that
surrounding the disposition of estates.
Setting out to condense, codify and
clarity even the Pennsylvania law on
this subject is a task big enough to
cause any one to pause before under
taking.
1T is on just this sort of a difficult,
complex and tedious work that a
Pennsylvania Commission has been
engaged for more than a year. AS in
all commissions, the chairman finds
no end of labor, no matter how dill
gent his associates may be. That's the
rule of commissions. And the one over
which Judge John Marshall Gest, of
the Orphans Court, presides is no ex-
ceptien.
Judge Gest, it appears from some
of those close to him, has taken up the
task of revising and codifying the
Pennsylvania laws on the subject of
decedents' estates in thoroughly
workmanlike manner His reputation
as a scholar and student is assurance

WHY BERNsToRFF wEPr

UTHEN Bernstorff was informed
wv that relations between the
United States and his country
had been broken off he wept and there
was general feeling that it was be-
cause he had endeavored and failed
to keep the peace between Germany
and this country. Now it is reported
that the former ambassador is to be
denoted and removed from the diplo-
matte service because he permitted the
zimmerman note to fall into the
hands of President Wilson. Might it
not have been for his own ruined fu-
ture that the German representative
shed tears when it was borne in upon
him that the American government at
last had found him out?

THE p, r. II, REPORT
TINE annual report of the Penn
: = sylvania Railroad deals in such


= sylvania Railroad deals in such
stupendous figures that 1t is
a general way. We are told that the
gross operating revenues were s44S,-
100000 for 1916, or an increase of
$6S.000.000 over the revenues of the
year previous, and that the gross in
come was s14s, 900, gain of near
ly s2IooO,OoO. These are figures not
easily grasped by the mind not train
ed to large financial considerations,
and may be passed with an exclama-
ton OF astonishment for the magni-
tude of the operations they represent.
But there is another feature of the
report more easily understood. 1t
deals with dividends. With the earn
ings of the company at fioodtide and
sufficient money on hand for ten
per cent. dividend, the declaration of
which would have sent the stock up
on the market and made easy pick
ings for some of those on the inside,
the management chose rather to keep
the stock on a conservative six per
cent. basis and to turn the remainder
Of the earnings back into the rteas-
ury forsthe betterment and extension
of the property. There Is lesson in
this for other railroad directorates.
1t is this kind Of policy that has made
the Pennsylvania the greatest rail-
road in the world.
We in Harrisburg may we'll rejoice
over the admirable situation in which
the Pennsylvania Railroad finds itself
with the submission of this report, for
the prosperity of this city fuctuates
with the fortunes of the great rail-
road system upon the earning power
of which so many of our people de-
pend for their daily bread. When the
SAAAASs ~ SlAAleb buSy anu is
being operated at a profit, Harris
burg also is busy and we have work
aplenty and money more than ordi-
nary. But every one of us feels the
pinch when empty cars begin to fill
the sidings and industrial conditions
require the company to retrench.
Every Harrisburg man ought to
read carefully what President Rea. has
to say concerning freight rates and
taxes. Too often we are tempted to
look upon the railroads of the country
as treasure boxes of unlimited wealth,
from which We may dip and dip and
never touch bottom. In reality, they
require the most careful attention and
most scientific management if they are
to keep out of the hands of the re-
ceiver, into whose tender care so many
of the roads of the country have
fallen during the past two years.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH
TT President Wilson lives up to the
= precepts of his own inaugural
message he will have no ground to
complain OF lack of popular support.
The people want TO believe in him,
they want to follow him, and his
speech of yesterday, following his
clear-cut statement to the American
people concerning the little group of
wilful men representing no opinion
but their own" who conspired to the
humiliation of the nation before the
world, rings with a tone OF lead
ership of the type such as the coun-
try has a right to expect in the crisis
through which it is now passing.
Americans will be only too happy to
believe that the Presidents brave
words are a forecast of just as en-
phatic and decisive action. They will
hope and trust that what has appear
ed in the past to have been wavering
on the part of the President was in
reality mature deliberation, that what
has looked like uncertainty was in
reality statesnanlike trimming of the
nations sails to meet a change of
wind.
President Wilson prays that the ma
ton will be purged of faction and
division, purified of the errant humors
of party and private interest, and
shall stand forth in the days to come
with new dignity of natiopal pride
and spirit" And to that end, he says,
''it is imperative that we stand to-
gether"
Whether or not that prayer shall
be answered lies largely with the Pres
ident himself. The manifesto of the |
Senate and the eagerness of that body,
regardless of party, to find a way to
overcome the plotting of the little
band of traitorous members who sat
the patriotism of the Senate as a
whole at naught, is evidence that
Congress will support the President |
to the last ounce of it's authority in |
any firm steps he may take for the
defense of the realm. The tone of |
the newspapers OF the land is unani-
nous for immediate and conclusive |
action. The people of the country are
ready for whatever may be necessary
to protect their rights and uphold |
their honor.
All eyes are on the President. 1t
is to him the country looks in it's
hour of trial. The task imposed is
not light. The responsibility is tre-
mendous. His opportunity is epoch
making. Whether he shall rise to the |
occasion or dilly-dally until the peo-
dence in his ability and intention to
do quickly and effectively what is |
manifestly the desire of 5Pe nation
remains to be seen. It is the earnest |
hope of all Americans that the Presi-
dent will exceed their fondest hopes
and mark himself as the man of the |
hour who always throughout our his
tory has arisen in time of national |
need.
