"PrOfitable Patriotism"

Senator johnson Of California
made notable speech in Congress
recently on the war and spoke in
strong terms against those who were
using Americas entrance into the
war to increase their own profits
and coin money, and termed their
war zeal Profitable Patriotism. !"
Such men are obessed with greed.
Every other characteristic is over
come by selfshness. The cause and
sacrifice of lives mean nothing to
them so long as profits come their
way. Profitable patriotism" is not
the kind that helps. The mother
praying for her boy at the battle
front and that the war may cease
brings to us the heart throbs of love
and devotion that beats true in every
patriot heart. Compare this with
the smirk of satisfaction that creeps
over the face of those soulless, heart.

Intellectual Free Rein,

Why should we believe that in the in
tellectual realm alone the interest Of
the undeveloped child should be Of
such paramount and controlling impor-
lance? Why not then in the moral
and physical realms? Yet youth is
proverbially period Of limitation, re-
curing processes, often painful, of
curbing and restraint. Give the youth,
whether boy or girl, free rein in yield
Ing to moral-or mmoral-interests
and moral ruin will generally result.
Give the growing boy the liberty to fol-
low his physical inclinations, and dis
aster must surely follow. On what fair
assumption, then, may we claim that In
things intellectual the child's interest
should prevail?-Alfred Il. Stearns, in
Atlantic.

QUEER FREAKS OF NATURE
River of Pure Ink in AIgeria-Siberian
Streams Flow Over Beds of Solid
Ice-Singing Well.

A river of ink is formed in Algeria
by the union of two streams, the water
of one being impregnated with iron
and the other, which drains q great
swamp, with gallic acid. This combina-
ton of iron and acid forms pure ink.
In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old
and solid as rock. A tributary of the
Lena river has underneath the soil
which forms the bed of the river, a bed
of pure ice, over nine feet thick. A
Kentucky. 1t is known as the Hidden
river, because no one knows it's origin,
and it vanishes into a cave leading no
one knows where. 1t flows without a
ripple, and is of a pale, blush color.
A singing well is one of the natural
curiosities of Texas. In fine weather
a sound like that of an aeolian harp
is given out by the well. At times the
far away; and then it reaches the ear
very family. These changes take place
every few minutes, and with great reg
ularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa
ter in the well gets very low, and the
mysterious musical sound is faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and the sound to increase in vol
ume and clearness. Before a north
wind the well plays it's widest pranks.
The water rises nearly to the top of
the well, which is about sixty feet
deep, and gives out wild, weird noises.

If Governor Graham should think
best to appoint walter H. Crockett
secretary of state to fill the vacancy
caused by the appointment of Secre-
tary Guy w. Bailey as comptroller
of the University of Vermont, he
would cause a most capable, loyal
and wide-awake Vermonter to fill
this important office. Mr.. Crockett
has had large experience in legis-
lative work, and probably no per-
son in the state knows Vermont
history better than Walter H.
Crockett. We would like to see him
in the office of Secretary of State.

There is one thing the American
people want to get firmly fixed in
their minds now we are at war, and
chat is we cannot keep on doing
Business as Usual" Retrenchment
must be made in certain lines Of in
dustry, especially the non-essentials.
We must econ0mize, retrench, con-
serve. Energy put into non-essential
industries must be diverted to those
essential that we may hasten the
time when the war will close. We
must not delay. Our energies must
be utilized to the full and our whole
effort given at once. This is no time
for fads, luXuries and fancies. We
must get down to the real vital
needs Of the day and strike hard
and fast for the triumph Of right
over wrong. Those who stay at
nome must sacrifice as well as those
who go to the front. Let's not
wastelifa and treasure through de-

sential business and bring everything
to bear on the work Of national

Essex junction is just now lauding
her favorite son, Hon. Guy w.
Bailey, and it is altogether right and
fitting for Essex junction to do so.
That burg is growing out of it's one
time questionable reputation, and
it is such sons as Guy w. Bailey who
are making those stains things of
the past. But Guy w. Bailey belongs
to more than Essex Junction. He
is one of Vermont's brightest and
most capable sons of today. We are
not worrying about Guy W. Bailey
and his appointment as comptroller
of the University of Vermont. He
is moi lost to the state. When she
needs him he will be found ready.

our boy may be called to make on
the altar of Liberty, so long as it
brings the coin into their greedy
polluted grasp. God have mercy on
those human friends of profitable
patriotism" we know the true
American hearts have none, and
their day of reckoning will come.
The socialist parade in Boston
Sunday was broken up by sailors,
soldiers, marines and national
guardsmen, and a riot without pre-.
cedent in the history of the city
took place. The socialist anti-war
banners, papers and literature were
burned in the street. This was a
most disgraceful affair and the sail
ors, soldiers, marines and guards
men taking part disgraced the uni
form they wear and brought re-
proach to the service and shame to
all true American hearts. These
are not representative of the man
hood we are sending into the army
but a scum class that unfortunately
get in and bring shame to honest
citizens. However much we may
differ from the socialists in their
principles, they aresentitled to the
some freedom and protection as we
are, and should have those rights
up to the point of demarcation of
unfolding law and order and incit-
ing riots. The Boston socialists
were within their rights and held
permits for this public meeting and
parade. The riot Sunday was a
black mark against American sailors
and soldiers and repudiated by all
loyal and fair-minded Americans.

The figures for Harrisburg are still
unofficial, although the number of
enlistments is known to be well over
800. This remarkable record is due
to the excellent work on the part of
the local recruiting officers. Lieu
tenant Robert w. Lesher, who is now
in charge of the station. is very much
elated over the success that has been
made and is working hard to free the
city of Harrisburg from the second
draft.
Yesterday thirty-two young men
enlisted at the local station. This is
the smallest total of any day during
the week. However as the local Of
ficers lent their aid to the successful
Liberty Bond campaign during this
week, the total enlistments are graft
flying. The young men from Harris

Melting Pot" Will
Receive Jewels For
Work of Red Cross

The plan used by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson in raising funds for the
American Red Cross, will be adopted
by the local chapter. beginning with
Monday morning. A copper Melt
ing Pot" will be placed on n tripod,
and will be displayed in the big win
dow at Red Cross headquarters, old
gold, platinum, silver. and filings
from gold teeth, which are of no use
to their owners, will be welcomed by
the workers. The melting pot will
be filed with these and under the
personal supervision of jeweler, e.
G. Hoover. they will be melted and
disposed of, the proceeds to be given
to the local chapter.
Articles. such as candelabra and
antiques, which can be polished will
be cleaned and sold as souvenirs.
Tinfoil from packets of cigarets and
chewing gum is being gathered by
children, as we'll as men and women.
and this will be sold to raise funds
for the association.
The melting pot was first used by
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson in her jewelry
store, at Washington, d. c. Since
that time. this novel idea has been
| used in many cities throughout the
entire couutrV.

Odd Cents in Prices
of Cigarets to Go, but
Consumer Pays Tax

The one cent extra which many
cigar dealers are charging for ci-
sarets is going to be done away with,
because of emphatic objections by
dealers and consumers expressed to
manufacturers. AS a result, within
the next few weeks, according to Il
number of local dealers, new style
packages, containing a lesser number
of cigarets, will make their appear
ance on the shelves. They will sell
at prices in multiples of five, as they
did before the war revenue bill was
passed.
The consumer, however, will not
only pay the tax, but will pass over
the counter neat sum in addition.
Brands which have been packed in
lots of ten will be sent out in lots
of eight. Those which have con-
tanned twenty cigarets will be cut
down to sixteen. This will allow the
dealer to sell them at the pretaN
prices of 3, 10, is, 20, 20 and other
even" figures.
The new arrangements, which the
dealers say will affect the majority
of the good selling" brands, will be
a hard blow to a large number of
dealers who have advanced their
prices beyond the requirements nee
essary to absorb the tax. Many Of
these have been charging as high as
eighteen cents for fifteen-cent pack
ages of ten cigarets, whereas the tax,
even on goods purchased since the
law went into effect, would only be
four-fifths of cent on a package.
For twenty cigarets the tax, at eighty
cents a thousand. is only one and
three-fifths cents a package and the
dealers who raised their prices to
eighteen cents absorbed the differ
ence.

SCHUMANN-HEINK
HELPS SOLDIERS
IN SMOKE FUND
Famous Mother Contributes
$1,000 Received From a
Recent Concert

Madame Schumann- Heink, who
gave one of her matchless concerts
in this city last night, set nm en-
ample for persons who have been
Tx in contributing to our Smoke
For Soldiers Fund.
While filling engagements In the
east last month, the great contralto
received a telegram asking her to
come to San Francisco and sing at
a henefit for the Soldiers Tobacco
Fund Accepting the invitation.
Nine. Schumann-H Heink iourneyed
clear across the continent to give
her services to a cause which is near
her heart. The concert was great
success. Forgetting herself, as al
ways, in the service of others, Nine.
Schumann-Heink not only sang
many of her favorite selections, but
raised hundreds of dollars by
offering at auction autographed
souvenirs.
More than $4,000 was realized as
the results of the famous singers
efforts-enough, it is estimated, to
supply 10000 men with tobacco for
one week.
Nine. -Heink has four
sons in the service of the United
States-and one on the "other side"
She realizes as do few persons in
this country the imperative neces-
sity for the cooling, soothing in
fluence of tobacco during the days
and nights of nameless suspense in
the narrow confines of a shell-swept
trench. The soldiers have many
needs, but none, perhaps, is more
pressing than the need of tobacco.
Hundreds of Harrisburg people
should profit by the example of
Nine. Schumann- -Heink. One dol
lar will supply four American boys
with tobacco for a week. 1t is
doubtful If a dollar could be in
vested to better advantage. Many
persons who do not approve of
smoking have realized that the con-
ditions IN France make this plea cne
OF hrst Importance, and have heart
lily endorsed the project.
In each package of tobacco sent
to the boys in France goes a postal
card, stamped and addressed to
yourself. For every packet Won send
through the Telegraph, you will re-
ceiVe a personal message from the
boy himself Surely, this invest
ment deserves the hearty approval
of Harrisburg people. Send your
contribution to The Telegraph. Ali
amounts will be acknowledged.
