ship of County Commissioner George
F. Holmes, has become an annex to
the Ware organization. Seven of the
ten signers of the petitions accom-
panying the pre-emption papers are
known to be either Ware men or for
mer Washington party workers. The
Record says: THE object of the pre-
emptors is believed to be the placing
of two supposedly reform tickets in
the field for the purpose of confus-
ing independent voters and detract-
ing votes from the real independent
ticket which is to be put in the field
for the November election. Rumors
that petitions for the pre-emption of

would be filed with the County Com

large hand In placing Harrisburg in
the proud place the city was assigned
as the only municipality in the
State to escape the first draft, and 1t
was like him to go about this latest
recruiting campaign in the original
and energetic manner just an
nounced.
There are many advantages which
the volunteer has over the drafted
man, not the least of which is that
he may choose his own branch OF the
service. whereas If he waits until
summoned he must go where he Is
put and misses the help OF being
trained beside seasoned men of older
units.
But best of all Is the opportunity
offered by the recruiting officers who
are endeavoring to organize a Dau-
phin county unit for service during
the war. A soldier who is associated
with his friends ana neighbors in
the service is happier than the man
who goes among strangers. He takes
away with him, so to speak. a part of
his home community and he feels
that the unit to which he belongs
Is in a way identified with that COM
munity. which makes better soldier
of him and of his fellows.
Young men of draft age could do
worse than investigate thoroughly
the advantages offered by the new
drive for recruits.

A STACKER PLEA

"If the war got over here ] would
fight" a Stacker at Camp Funston
said, but don't want to until
then"
An excuse often heard. but merely
an excuse. After the war had got
over here II would have been too late
to fight. We have been six months at
war and we aren't ready yet. Ger
many was making war on us on the
other side of the ocean. It's whole
course showed that 1t was only a
question of time when the war would
have been brought to this side.
The man who says he would be
willing to fight IL our shores were
invaded, but not otherwise, is simply
lodging. He wouldn't fight at all.-

ADAY OF PRAYER

"HE Harrisburg Ministerial As
ISOLATION evidently believes in
the old adage which bids us
pray devoutly but hammer stoutlys"
The proposed Day of Prayer for
Soldiers. endorsed yesterday by the
Rotary Club. is the suggestion or an
organization that has contributed In
no small degree to the patriotic ef-
forts of the city since war with Ger
many was declared and which has
contributed of its own membership
to the armed forces now in training.
1t comes as the sincere conviction of
devout Christians. men devoted to
the uplift of humanity and the
spiritual welfare of the community.
Surely. as DIR. Bagnell so we'll put
it in his address before the Rotary
Club yesterday, we can spare one day
for prayer II we can devote a dozen
to parades.
We do not talk overly much-most
of us-of prayer or our religious
convictions. The everyday activities
OF busy life and an inborn reticence
regarding the discussion of personal
religious views stand in the way. But
few of us have ceased to entertain
belief III the power of prayer, and
certainly If ever there is occasion for
the invocation of divine mercy and
help. it is when our young men are
going by hundreds and thousands to
face the forces of a mighty evil that
wilt seek to destroy their bodies and
to meet temptations that will try
their souls.

tested since the nation entered the
war to make the world safe for
democracy. The Keystone State has
for generations been pre-eminently
a business State and its brainiest men
have turned their attention to in
dustry, finance ana other lines of
activity rather than to government,
which has much absorbed the
thought of many men in the South
ern States, for instance, and in some
Western Commonwealths in particu-
lar.
When the nation made its business
war it called upon the business men
who had made Pennsylvania a world
factor in industry, transportation and
science to give their aid to the ma
tional defense. These are men who
have assembled at the national and
State capitals. in the largest cities,
in the centers of industry, at mills,
mines and factories, to do their bit"
These men have earned their spurs.
In many cases they are well on in
years and have reached that period
in life when relaxation is considered
only fair. Yet, they are passing the
reins of the businesses which they
have built up to others, dropping pri-
vate affairs, forgetting even healthful
exercise recommended by their ply
sicians and passing up social engage
ments to help the common cause.
This State has the example of big
railroad men leaving home and
pleasant associations, making none
tary sacrifices to help behind the
lines in France. W. w. Atterbury,
vice-president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, we'll remembered by many
railroad men here when he worked
in the Altoona shops, is in the war
land to rebuild the railroads, and
within a month by his side will be
NJ. c. Kennedy, president of our own
Cumberland Valley railroad. Mr..
Kennedy, one of the big men of
Southern Pennsylvania, eminent as
a railroad executive, so situated that
he could enjoy life, is going to leave
it all to handle work in France that
would appal younger men. In our
own community he illustrates the
spirit of sacrifice that is going to
make Pennsylvania force that will
help win the war.
