leaders look upon the appointments
from a purely political standpoint,
and contend that they were made to
strengthen the Ware Brumbaugh fac
ton not only in Pittsburgh, where
they seek to elect the next mayor,
but in Montgomery county, where
Senator Ware has his summer home,
and where Amber is leader of an
element in the Republican organiza-
ton which has been opposing Charles
johnson, the Penrose leader of that
county. O'Neil has been a thorn in
the side of the Penrose leadership
in Allegheny county for years. He
has done much campaigning by
speaking in churches against the
liquor traffic and for the local option
cause. He is a practical politician,
and is looked upon as the boldest of
the anti-P enrose men when il
comes to turning a sharp corner
politically or making charges in pub
lie speeches and statements affecting
his opponents.
Former Speaker Amber, while af-
filiated with the Wares, has never
been a vindictive factionalist. He is
well liked by men who opposed his
candidacy for the Speakership and
who voted against him when he ran
for Auditor General when he was de-
feated by Charles A. Snyder, of
Schuylkill. 1t is conceded by Penrose
cohorts that Speaker Amber treat

pect the taxpayers of the present
city to pay for West Shore improve
ments.
None of these problems = the
schools, streets, sewage, railroad
crossings, all-night car service, build
ing regulations, police protection,
traffic regulation-could be better
taken care of by a city of 100000
than a city of 1900.
No person reading the Harrisburg
newspapers during the past FIVE
years would care to put the West
Shore schools in the hands of the
Harrisburg school district. Has any
educator ever pointed to the City
of Harrisburg as an example of edu-
cational enterprise or advancement?
Steelton, rather than Harrisburg,
is the example of educators in this
vicinity.
The West Shore cannot expect the
present taxpayers of Harrisburg to
pay for street paving and sewer con-
struction in Wormleysburg and Camp
bill. The abutting property owners
will pay for these benefits.
The Walnut street bridge prob
lem, the Market street subway, the
State street bridge, do not give the
Lemoyne much hope of improve
ments in the two decrepit bridges
maintained by the Cumberland VAL
ley and Reading railroads at Le-
moyne.
The question of all-night car serv-
ice is for the Public Service Com
mission, not for a city council. An
neXation to Harrisburg will not af-
feet this question. Building regula-
tions. traffic regulation, police pro-
lection are now within the powers of
the various boroughs,
The problems involved in the de-
velopment of the Capitol Park, the
street car problem, the garbage quas-
tion-all these require more time
than the City Commissioners seem
able to give. Who in Harrisburg
will look after the needs of the West
Shore?
In our present needs shall we de-
pend upon the other fellow or shall
we dig in" for ourselves?

LAFAYETTE DAY

"HE proposal to celebrate the
anniversary of Lafayette's birth
as a national holiday is particu-
larly fitting at this time. America
owes a debt of gratitude to this gall
liant young Frenchman, the extent of
which many Americans do not fully
realize and which we are only at this
late date about to attempt in some
measure to repay. September G
should be observed with demonstra-
tions and public acknowledgment
of our love and admiration for this
democratic nobleman who left hik
palatial home, his young wife and
his place as kings favorite at home
to champion the cause of the people
against tyranny in far-off America.
Lafayette a general at twenty,
amply justified the trust the Ameri-
can Congress placed in him. He was
q gallant leader and an officer of rare
ability despite his extreme youth Che
was only twenty when he scored a
decided success at Brandywine) and
rendered invaluable service to the
American arms, winning by his skill
and daring the admiration of Wash
ington, the love of his soldiers and
the respect of his enemies to the
extent that once, by order of a Brit
ish commander. his life was saved
swhen his headlong dash and courage
had carried him into a place where
escape seemed impossible. But
Lafayette did more than fight fon the
Colonies. He spent $4,000 of his
own fortune and procured from
Louis the French army that turned
defeat into victory for the hard
pressed American forces and made
certain the establishment of a free
nation on this continent.
Lafayette long has been the beau
ideal of American youth and his
spirit lives in the lads who will carry
the Stars and Stripes to France. His
very youth, at the time of his great
est accomplishments, is an argument
for the success of the gallant young
officers now preparing for. service
against the. Hun in the beloved

OUR STATE HIGHWAYS

TN TINE working out of a construc-
tive program for the upbuilding
and extension of the system of
highways in Pennsylvania the people
of the Commonwealth are intensely
interested. They want results and
nothing else counts. Millions of dol
Ian. are now flowing into the Golfers
of the State from the owners of auto
mobiles and motor-driven vehicles
and this huge sum, exceeding over
s3,000,000 this year, represents a
substantial fund for maintenance of
the highways. 1t also represents the
interest of thousands OF people in
the efficient conduct Of the road
building department.
Let us hope that putting aside all
else Mr.. O'Neil, who succeeds to the
management of the department, will
devote himself whole-heartedly to
the development of such plans as
will largely increase the good roads
area OF the State.

Strike the Enemy
1.-THE Silent Partner ]

The Silent Partner has enlisted in
the cause OF Freedom. This and ev-
cry succeeding number of the mag
azine will strike at the enemy-wlll
strike until the war ends.
The Silent Partner will not mince
matters. This is a war for our lib
crty-for human liberty 1t is a war
to save this nation.
Through the long and weary period
of three years the Silent Partner has
exercised the highest human heroism
treated with special tact, diplom-
acy, this subject of war-tried to find
its way without talking war, but
there is no way now but war.
America did not enter this war
for gain or glory. America has not
sent her fleets to fight just because
Of the loss of the 'Lusitania." Mil
lions of men are not modified just
because of the submarine menace.
Billions in cash and in credit are not
employed just as an answer to the
German official indignities.
The real reason, the genuine issue
that has brought America into this
war is the issue that our forefathers
fought for-Freedom.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

long time and other known causes,
he is in disrepute and many would
not march behind him in the last
parade. notably the firemen. There
was to be a division of them and
none were there, not even the mar
shal of their division. Let us have
a Harrisburg citizen for chief mar
shall; a real representative citizen,
and many more will be in line.
Automobile Parking: The parking
of autos on the streets in the heart of
the city should be stopped. We are
getting to be a large city and this
parking is not allowed in any large
city. 1t may be all right to allow
autos to park in Market Square,
yet many man whose busi-
nes place is there does not get
a chance to park his own machine in
front of his place of business or even
get into it sometimes because of
other peoples autos. Parking should
not be allowed in Second, Third,
Fourth or Court between Walnut and
Market, nor in Walnut or Market
streets. 1t certainly is a problem
how machines get through these
streets the way they are crowded
with standing machines, day and
night. 1t is said people spend the
evening in their machines parked in
Market street. 1t was mistake to
repeal the ordinance prohibiting
parking in Third street but to satisfy
q few businessmen, hundreds of
other automobilists and people must
bc disconnected and made to run
the gauntlet in Third street, between
Walnut and Market.
Registration Slackers: The news
,Japers have been saying there were
no slackers in Harrisburg on Regis
tration Day. 1t is the belief that
there were many. At some places the
registrars had registration voting
lists of last year, showing ages OF
voters and many failed to register
for the draft. Some who registered
last year as 81 years old were said
to be 81 this year. This could be
proven by comparing the lists as
some parties did.
Miscellaneous Things discussed
by men and thought should be ex-
plotted; too much promiscuous
throwing of waste paper and gar
bage on the public sidewalks and
highways and in the parks. Too
much wholesale use of profanity and
vulgar talk in these same places.
Lights should be carried on
wagons and other vehicles as we'll as
autos at night, both in and outside
of the city.
Two stops for street cars unneces-
sary at State street, as it causes con-
fusion to autoists and possible dan
ger to passengers.
Too early sending of mails from
P. o. to railroad trains. Twenty or
thirty minutes is plenty of time. but
many mails are sent out from P. o.
fifty minutes before trains.
The Orpheum theater advertises
during the season too many fine
shows at high prices and then has
only second-rate companies to pre-
sent them. Many times last season
people were fooled and disappointed
in this manner, particularly with the
Blue Paradise; fine play the finest
music. fine prices but a second-rate
company to render it and not the
company that played it in New
York.
All these things are worthy of
your consideration and IL you doubt
the statements made you can easily
find out that they are correct by in
vestigating a little.
Yours respectfully.
A FRIEND.

OuR COAL TROUBLES

RTOw that we are UP against the
IN problem of high prices of coal
and, perhaps, an insufficient
supply, it is reasonable to expect
that those who have been discussing
the conservation of coal and the best
methods of its use will achieve some
headway, especially in reducing the
loss of unburned fuel which floats
out of the stacks of the city and COW
ers as with a pail our homes and
business places.
II price-fiXing at Washington has
The same effect elsewhere as it seems
to have had in Harrisburg and vicin-
ity, with respect to the retail prices
of coal, then we should pray for
relief from all such methods of reg
ulation. Fixing of prices usually re-
suits in reduction OF output and
economic laws cannot be overturned
by man-made regulations.

West Shore Annexation

To the Editor OF the Telegraph:
The residents of the Cumberland
county towns along the susquehanna
river are now in earnest discussion
of the proposed changes in munich
pal government.
A few reasons in support of q
change in the present condition are:
1. The second and third class
school in most of the towns which
put our children two or three years
behind their future competitors in
Harrisburg.
2. Dusty, dangerous, unkept streets.
3. Sewage problem--sewage dis
posal will soon be forced on these
towns by the State Board of Heath.
4. Inadequate facilities for cross
ing the numerous railroads cutting
through the west shore in all direc-
tions.
8. Lack of all-night car service.
6. Lack of uniform building regu-
lations.
Z. Needed police protection.
8. Needed traffic regulations-no-
tably at the Lemoyne bridge.
The only remedy suggested for
these evils has been annexation to
the City of Harrisburg. The writer
would recommend as more easily
brought about, more economical and
as efficient the formation of q bor-
ough or city composed of Enola,
West Fairview, Wormleysburg, Le-
moyne, Camp Hill, New Cumberland
and intervening territory. If these
communities become a part of Har-
risburg, they will receive the atten-
ton which a tenth part of that city
deserves. The West Shore cannot 81

Lebanon township. II Lebanon is
looking for population it has taken
the right way to get it quickly. Har-
risburg also is so situated. If we are
to grow extensively in the near fu-
ture it must be by annexation. lay
ing aside the point recently raised,
that the present is no time to under
take enterprises that may add con-
siderably to municipal expenses, 1t
nevertheless remains true that Har-
risburg's future development lies in
its suburbs.
The city has well nigh reached the
limit Of its growth from within.
There are few available large tracts
in the city limits that have not been
built up. Numerous residential sec
tions, like that of Riverside, which is
now under consideration, surround
us, reaching almost if not quite up
to the city limits. We must reach
out and take these into the city prop
er If we are to attain our proper
rank among the cities of the country.

than appears in the census reports,
for in everything but name our
suburbs are integral parts of the
municipality.

WILL YOU PLANT A TREE ?

"HE great destruction of trees
throughout the city by the
storm of Sunday has aroused
our citizens to the immediate i'm
portance of tree planting and shade

fore, do we stand in need of a real
Shade Tree Commission which could
intelligently consider and devise a

now up to the people of our day to

ing of trees the generations to fol-
1ow will suffer from a treeless com
munity.. Many of the trees which
were blown down or uprooted were
those that were planted a generation

our day TO do their part in providing
for those who come after us.

Decrepit. tired beings, CHASTITY white,
With withered breasts and eyes de.
void of sight,
Forever mute beneath the sodden
clay;
I feared the lonely dead, and turned
away
From thoughts of somber death and
endless night;
Thus through the dismal hours 1
longed for light
To drive my utter hopclessness away.
But now my nights are filled with
lowered dreams
OF singing warriors, beautiful and
young;
Strong men and boys within whose
eyes there CLEANS
The triumph song of worlds un-
known, unsung;
Grim death has vanished. leaving
in its stead
The shining glory of the living dead.
