CAPITOL PARK BILLS

"HE bills providing for prelimi-
nary work in the development
= of the Capitol Park area are all
through the Legislature and up to
Governor Brumbaugh. That means
they will be approved, for there is
no more enthusiastic exponent Of
greater Capitol Park than the Gov
ernor.
At the time we are rejoicing over
the enactment of this excellent piece
of constructive legislation, we may
add a cheer or two for the legisla-
tors who voted down the iniquitous
"branch capitol bill, which was de-
signed to remove many of the activi-
ties of the State government from
the Capitol itself to Philadelphia.
Eventually such a move would have
resulted in the concentration ofState
affairs in Philadelphia, to the eXclu-
sion and inconvenience of the entire
western, central and northern sec
tions of the Commonwealth, besides
giving to the Quaker City an unduly
important place in the politics of
Pennsylvania. 1t is to be hoped that
we have heard the last of this
''branch capitol foolishness.

SENATOR KNOWS SPEECH

~ ENATOR KNOX is always en-
tightening and constructive in
~ his public utterances. His
speech in the Senate yesterday on
the food control bill was no eXcep-
ton. His appeal in behalf of the
Presidents request for legislation OF
the kind will go far toward con-
vincing honest doubters in the upper
branch. His pronouncement on the
constitutionality of the proposed law
leaves nothing to be explained. II
Knox says a law is constitutional
there is nobody in the Senate to say
to him nay. He is our greatest au-
thority on that subject.
Senator Knox is a credit to Penn
sylvania, and an ornament to the
Senate. He is not a prolific speaker,
but when he does address the Sen
ate his remarks are given the weight
and consideration they always de-
serve.

Patriots For Profit

The man whose veins are filled with
speculative blood may become as
troublesome at times and as difficult
TO dispose of as the man filled with
the blood of martyrs, and like unto
him is the man whose one idea, sole
thought and 24-hour per day mis-
sion is to make money without being
too finicky about ways and means.
The biting statement made to the
people of England by Lord Inchcape
on the prices of meats has exposed
some of the profiteering patriots of
that loyal little county who, backed
against the wall by indignant public
opinion and some rather open
threats, laid the blame upon the
meat producers and steamship COM
panies. Unfortunately for them, Lord
Inchcape's patience broke down I'M
der the steady attacks and he places
the blame squarely upon the men
who are doing their bit at hcme by
plundering the people. He is inter-
ested in the live stock industry of
Australia, is one of the heavy own
ers of the frozen meat concerns, and
is chairman of the directors who own
the vessels, which gives him the right
to speak officially and, as he puts
it, from the inside" and with accu-
racy.
Lord Inchcape makes his statement
so plain that child can appreciate
what has been going along in Eng
land since the war began. He says
beef is sold to the government in
Australia at rs pence, or about 10
cents per pound; mutton 5 1-8 pence,
or fraction above 10 cents per
pound, which, with freight at per-
war figures, penny per pound, two
months interest and marine war risk
insurance, places the meat on the
quay in London at about 13 cents
per pound for beef and very small
fraction more for mutton. Lord In
chcape then delivers his knockout in
the shape of figures of retail dealers,
the lowest of which are three and
four times the price of the meat
when delivered. He concludes his re-
ply to the speculative patriots by OBJ
serving that these figures should be
interesting to the people of England,
and they probably are, since they
shunt the charge of profiteering from
the Australian meat dealers of Lon
don. who are perhaps not enjoying
overmuch a conference with the food
controller, Lord Rhindda. - Pitts

Harrisburg, Pa, June 2S, 1917

liafrlSburg, Pa, June 23, 1917.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
have read several articles in your
paper written by correspondents
roasting the baker, for ignorance !
nave not read anything surprising
1t and | wish you would publish these
few real facts, and give the baker
his just dues.
One year ago a 5 ounce loaf of
bread was selling for cents and to-
day II ounce loaf is selling for six
cents which figures a net increase
in the price of siXty-five per cent.
A year ago the price of -four in
car lots was from $5 to Sc a barrel
to-day the cost in car lots according
to the papers which have the price
always cheaper than you can buy it,
1880 to $14.50 a barrel, which
shows net increase of 10 per cent.
This shows only the increase in
flour alone and when you figure the
increase in the other ingredients
such as lard sugar and also coal and
labor, it is hard to figure how the
bakers are making expenses.
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
and the baker surely earns his by
the sweat of his brow, so lay off the
baker, a square deal is all he asks
for his work, and he is not getting
it now,
Respectfully yours,
LOUIS BUCH,

SAFE AND SANE" FOURTH
We thank you.

X OvERNOR BRUMBAUGH's ap-
" peal for a safe and sane
Fourth of July celebration is timely
and will meet with general approval.
But while we are dispensing with
fireworks and other old-time means
of venting our patriotic feelings,
what are we going to do to provide
substitutes?
The Fourth of July should be OBJ
served this year, of all years, in ev-
cry community. Harrisburg, which
has sent almost its whole quota of
men to the front. which oversub-
scribed its Liberty bond allotment
and it's Red Cross fund requirement
in most patriotic fashion, has done
nothing looking toward celebration
of the nations birthday.
What are we going to do about it ?

EVERYBODY TURN OUT

THE Rotary Club of Harrisburg
i is doing community service in
its efforts to recruit full COM
pany for the regular army service in
response to the call of President
Wilson for volunteers. The concert
by the Fourth Regiment Band and
the patriotic meeting at the Or
pheum Theater this evening should
be largely attended. Harrisburg has
responded so generously in other
respects that it would be a serious
reflection if the recruiting campaign
should fail.
Everybody turn out and give Cap
tain Harreli and his assistants a big
boost in the work they are doing
so well.
1t is your patriotic duty to be at
The Orpheum tonight.

"sLAPsTICK PATRIOTISM,

"HE Atlanta Georgian, under the
caption rs Patriotism Often
sive to These Legislators?" Sc
verely criticizes the Pennsylvania
Legislature sitting at Harrisburg for
passing a resolution "forbidding the
playing of the Star Spangled Banner
in moving picture playhouses" and
observes that mo tool of the Kaiser
could devise a more insolent way to
dampen the national enthusiasm. !"
The Georgian sheds tears of anguish
that all the patriotism of the coun-
try should be confined to Georgia
alone and that poor down-trodden
pennsylvania should be class-ridden
to the extent that the common peo-
pie dare not so much as sing their
national anthem.
This would be sad, indeed, IL true.
Fortunately, the Georgian is wrong;
all wrong. The Pennsylvania Legis,
lature has not forbidden the singing
OF the Star Spangled Banner any
place. 1t is on record as opposing
the Interpolation OF the national air
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-06-27

as part of patriotic medleys and the
use of the tune in other ways not
in keeping with the dignity of the
anthem. But as for singing the Star
Spangled Banner, why bless you,
dear Georgian, we do that on every
occasion, morning, noon and night.
up in these diggings, and our much
maligned Legislature is not above
adding it's own voice to the chorus
whenever opportunity presents itself.
Yea, there have been occasions, even,
when the aforesaid Legislature arose
spontaneously to chirrup right
blithely the song in question.
But Pennsylvania people are jeal-
Gus of the Star Spangled Banner.
They don't like to be yanked out of
their seats forty times an evening
because some movie organist with
perverted ideas of the proprieties
persists in sticking three bars of the
national song between two bars of
"A Hot Time and a strain from
THE Stars and Stripes Forever"
And so, through the Legislature. we
have politely requested these gentle
men to desist; to confine themselves
to one tune at time, as it were.
And as for patriotism in Pennsyl-
vania; why, bless your heart, while
some other folks have been boastfns
of how patriotic they are, the Penn
sylvania Legislature has been voting
$5,000,000 for war emergency pur.
poses, appropriating money for i'm
provement of camp sites and giving
its National Guard authorities free
hand. And while that legislation has
been going forward the people of
the State as a whole have sub
scribed more than one-tenth of the
given outright more than one-tenth
of the 100000. 900 Red Cross fund,
while her boys have enlisted by thou
sands for the period of the war. And
right here in little old Harrisburg,
where the Legislature sits, dear
Georgian, the people were the first
in the country to over-subscribe the
Bond issue. We were asked
to subscribe S2,000,000. We came
forward with nearly twice that
They asked us for 500, 900
for the Red Cross and we gave
nearly s150.Oo0. and when the draft
is declared not man will be called
from Harrisburg. OUR YOUNG
MEN HAVE VOLUNTEERED. They
didn't wait to be sent.
And now. dear Georgian, since you
fully understand conditions, don't
you think it would be real nice and
polite to give this information as
much prominence as you did the bit
of "slapstick patriotism" with which
you regaled your readers some days
back?
We thank you.
