Just because the Washington Sena-
tors have not been making lots of
money is no reason to suppose that
they are gcing to retire from the
American league. Ban Johnson says
that he would dep1ore anything OF the
sort and President Ben Minor of the
Washington club says that Ben may
be at his case and that he will have
no reason to do any deploring. Minor
says that the Senators are an a sound
financial basis and do we suppose that
just because they have dropped a few
nickles they are going to get cold
feet and retire? No sHch thing. Sew
eral glacial periods will come and go
before the Washington club drops out
of the American league. says Mr.. Mi
nor.
Walter Johnson has declared that
he would be having hard pull to
hang on in the big show if he were
never able to pitch any better than
be does while PLAYING in Boston.
Somehow or other when Walter goes
up against the Red Sox on their home
lot he has a terrible time of it. He
beat the Red Sox in the final series
in Boston this past season, but it was
the first time such a thing had hap
pened in three years.

Thirteen Americans
in Crew of Steamer
Sunk by Submarine
Bv dssoci1tcd pycss

Philadelphia, March 23.-Thirteen
American citizens were among the for
ty members of the crew of the Ameri-
can tank steamer Healdton, sunk by a
submarine last Wednesday off
Terschelling. Holland, with the proba-
BILE loss of twenty or more lives.
Whether any of them lost their lives
has not been learned, but fear was ex-
pressed that since the torpedo from the
submarine was reported to have pene-
trated the engine room and to have
been responsible for the death of 13
men, some of them will be found
among the victims. Most of the other
members of the crew were Spaniards,
Norwegians or Portuguese. The chief
engineer and three assistants were
Americans. The tanker was unarmed,
having left this port before President
Wilson authorized the navy to furnish
guns and gunners to merchantmen.
The Healdton, tanker of 4,4S9 gross
tons, and owned by the Standard Oil
Company, sailed from Philadelphia on
January &c for Rotterdam with a cargo
of 2,137.711 gallons of refined petro-
leum. According to Joseph G. Gabriel
local agent of the Atlantic Refining
Company, where the tanker was loaded
the loss including cargo, will approxi-
mate S2,150.000.
Herman II. Parker, the wireless op-
orator aboard the Healdton, was saved
according to a cablegram received here

LITTLE, LADY LOLLY POP LOLLS ,
AROUND COUNTRY ON 20, 500 MILE
JAUNT WHICH POLICE HERE END

A week later when Miss Dodge stops
ped here on her way enroute to
Omaha, Nebraska, the pop" was Sec
reted in her trunk. Upon her arrival
at Omaha that pesty pop was discov-
cred. Again, carefully wrapped, it
was returned to this city.
Cosscs Continent
Since that first jaunt almost across
the continent, that lollypop has loll-
ed its way six round trips to Omaha.
1t seemed a sacrilege to wantonly de-
sides seemed sure of wishing it on
the other party. The last time it was
returned to Harrisburg its travel
worn features were scarcely recog-
nizable. Instead of the former fiat
and featureless fare, a very artistic
nose, eyes and mouth had been sketch
ed upon it.
The original travelling trousseau Of
thin tissue paper had also become just
a trifle travel worn. This was now
replaced with u miniature silk waist
and skirt becomingly drapedd to con-
ceal the excessively slender waist of
Miss Pop" The costume was COM
pleted with jaunty little knit cap
that tilted becomingly right over the
stenciled eyebrows.
Captain FlecR decided that Miss
Pop had become much to precious
to trust again to the United States
mall She was elevated to a place of
honor on the family mantlepiece
where it is intended she will remain
until the next pleasure trip to Her
shey. 1t is then the intention of Mr..
F'leck to present M. S. Hershey with
the distinguished parsonage and to tell
Mr. Hershey the history of her young
life

Lollypops in the hands of every
street urchin a year ago were evry
ordinary things, but real widely
travelled and cosmopolitan lollypop,
dressed like the latest scream on a
Partisan boulevard and that boasts a
record of approximately 20,500 miles,
is is the possession of Desk Sergeant
Charles Fleck of the police force.
This notable lollypop started its
first lap on a journey last June that
has since heightened to distance al
most long enough to encircle the
globe.
Mrs. Felck and Miss Violet Dodge
were two of a merry party that took
in the wonders of Hershey Park at
that time. After seeing all the sights
they still had Hershey credit check
for ten cents. Lollypops were popu-
lar just then and the last check went
for ten healthy looking specimens of
the lollypop tribe. There were nine
in the party which saved the famous
traveller to history.
the survivor was brought to Mrs.
Fleck's home in Broad street and laid
away as a relic of the memorable
trip. Miss Dodge went to visit rela-
tives in Philadelphia. 1t was then the
idea of sending to pop" to Miss Dodge
occurred to Mrs. Fleck.
Seesaw Back and Forth
Carefully wrapped, it was dispatch
ed to Miss Dodge at Philadelphia. In
the same spirit Miss Dodge returned
ing began. Miss bod went to Atlantic
City. Immediately the pop" was
lodging her footsteps at an Atlantic
City hotel. Her stay there however,
was very short. Miss Pop was re-
turned to the Capital City.

The message was dated Terschelling,
Holland. Mr.. Parker said his son was
10 years old, and a native of Philadel-
phia.
The decision of the agents to have
the Healdton avoid the danger zone
and not call at Kirllwal1 for inspec-
tion caused the British authorities to
put the ship and crew through a rig
orouS examination at Halifax. When
the steamer left Halifax she had or
ders to call at Bergen and then pro-
ceed to Rotterdam

undertake large expenditures. 1t is
particularly necessary to introduce
proper accounting systems on all road
work, not because any large sums are
being grated but because without
such accounting no work can be
carried on economically. We should
have more results from the money we
are spending through local officials,
and we cannot obtain them until the
accounting methods which are shown
TO be necessary to check waste in
every successful business are adopt
ed by these local authorities.
Everybody interested in road work
knows that the waste exists, but the
lack OF proper records makes It i'm
possible in most cases TO point with
certainty to specific causes of it. The
pressing road problem of the country
today is not so much to provide mon.
ey for our highways and byways as
it is to awaken the average taxpayer
to a knowledge of the business side
of the work for which he is contrib
uting so literally, so that he will en-
list the help of the ablest business
men and the services of competent
engineers and supervisors in carry
ing it on.
The cost of road construction has
been increasing rapidly during the
last two years, and it is more impor-
tant than ever before to develop an
enlightened public opinion in favor
OF a business-like administration Of
road affairs, such as already exists
in some localities where the people
have given the subject the attention
it deserves.

HOW A7ouT T. R.7

Shall Colonel Roosevelt be permit
ted to take division OF volunteers
to the firing line in Europe? That is
the question. At least, that is one
of the questions over which there is
much discussion at Washington.
The gentleman from oyster Bay
has some very peculiar ideas about
politics, government, people in gener-
al, wild animals and himself but for
all that, he is generally creditd with
bing fighter of exceptional ability.
Moreover, those who are counted as
Roosevelt's followers will stick with
him to the finish Already 10000
mostly above the suggested draft linn
it, have signffed a willingness to go
with him to France and fight for this
nation on a moments notice OF these
100000 volunteers great number
have seen service.
Throwing 10000 men on the fight
ing front in France under the lead
ership of Colonel Roosevelt, fire-eat-
er that he is, might have very
pronounced effect for good, and would
give this country a longer time to
prepare other troops, if others should
need be sent.
And it might be remembered that
If Colonel Roosevelt goes to France,
it is obvious that he can not be in
the United States at one and the
same time. While he is over in Ell-
rope showing his teeth" to the Kais-
er he and his men will be doing a
worthy service to the country, while
If his offer is refused and he is per-
mitted to fret himself and cogitate
and consider, he is liable to break
out in a fresh place at any moment
1t is one of tn estandard jokes that
the Kaiser is said to have blamed
Roosevelt for starting the war by
telling the Kaiser he could whip the
world. Perhaps, should the Kaiser
see Roosevelt headed his way with
100000 men and that short, ugly word,
the German ruler might give up the
ghost.
1t is the opinion of many that
Roosevelt can best serve his country
as leader of soldiers, tried and
true. His military ability far sur
passes his political acumen AS a
soldier Roosevelt thinks first, last
and all the time OF his country; but
in politics it is rumored he worsslips
the first personal pronoun.
Congress might do well to grant
his request. We believe that Roose-
welt can best serve the interest of the
nation by going to the battle line
and giving the Teutons little hell OF
the well-known Roosevelt brand.

WAY ROAD TAXES ARE WASTED.

For these many years economists
have been talking to American peo-
pie about their wasteful habits as
compared with those of the people
of other countries The scolding has
done very little good, we all know
In spite OF the soaring cost Of liv-
ing, which has mounted as fast as
wages have risen, we still spend our
money like drunken sailors, accord
ing to these economists If we do
these things in our homes, we natur-
ally do them in our community work,
for the habit of wastefulness persists
We do not keep household accounts,
and so we do not really know how
we can effect economies in our per-
sonal affairs, and it is only occasion
ally that we expect our fellow citi-
Zens, saddled with the responsibility
of directing our public works, to be
any better managers than we are our
selves.
1T is for this reason that out OF
the s3OO,000,O00 spent on road work
last year probably third was wasted
and another third did not produce as
large real returns as it should This
condition is the fault of the taxpay
ers primarily. They have not call
ed for businessIike administration
and they have not received it. They
have been contented with the same
lax methods which they practiced il
their own affairs, methods they have
been besought In vain to improve. 1
is this popular contentment with slip
shod methods that is the greatest oh
stacle in the way Of rational road i'm
provements today. and not lack o
money for the work.
1T is absolutely necessary to i'm
prove our methods OF administering
our road Affairs by local authoritie
in many cases, before it is wise d
