SAVING THE COUNTY $4,000

CENATOR BEIDLEMAN takes a
y correct view of the situation
caused by the death of City
Councilman Harry +. Bowman. IN
der the terms of the Clark act as it
stands the people of Dauphin county,
composed largely of those who own
no property in Harrisburg, who have
no interests in the city other than an
occasional trip here and who contri-
butte generously to the revenues OF the
county at large, would have to bear
the $4,000 eXepense of electing a coun-
Gilman to serve nine months in Har-
risburg. How would the people of
Harrisburg like to pay $4,000 for the
election of a township supervisor to
serve only in the country districts?"
asks Senator Beidleman, putting the
shoe on the other foot and we re-
spectfully reply for everybody in Har-
risburg when we say that to a man
We in the city would oppose any
such fool proposition. Now then, can
we in the city justify the expenditure
of $4,000 of the countys money for
our own purposes?
The Clark act errs in this respect as
it does in many others. 1t is full of
weaknesses and this is one of them.
There is no local politics in the bill
framed by the law committee of the
Third Glass City League intended to
remedy this defect and save this large
sum to the people of the county, but
If there were it would be good politics.
AS Senator Beidleman says, he repre-
sents the county districts as we'll as
those of the city and he would be
derelct to his duty did he stand idly
by and see such a vast sum of public
funds frittered away because some
body made a mistake when he framed
the law under which our city govern
ment is conducted. 1t would be utter
waste to throw $4,000 into the holding
of a special election. The peoples
money would be spent and the expense
of reelection would have to be re-
peated next November before the new
commissioner had become accustomed
to his office.
The people of the county should
make. themselves heard on this sub
ject.

on matters that a nation considers
really vital 1t will submit to arbitra- :
tion?
Has the history of arbitrations been
such as to create confidence in the de-
cisions of international courts on vital
matters-recalling the fact, for in
stance, that in the matter of the dis
puted presidency the members of the
Supreme Court on the electoral COM
mission lined up as partisans?
1t is an ungracious duty to point out
flaws in proposal intended to bring in
the thousand years of peace. But such
considerations as those briefly outlined
must be taken into the account.
BY no means should the United States
be committed to a policy, no matter
how idealistic which would break down
under the actual test of experience.
Such a course would bring only hui
initiation. 1t would involve the fur
ther danger of causing the country to
rely for its defense on some outside
organization instead of on it's own re-
sources
A course involving such momentous
consequences to the national life calls
for the fullest possible thought and dis
CuSsfOn.

Arthur KING

TINE death of Arthur King, founder
j of the Middletown Car Works,
removes another of the great
industrial pioneers of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. King arose from the humble
position of machinist to the ownership
of factory that sent its cars all over
the world. The rolling stock manu-
factured at Middletown is carrying

There are twenty-five thousand un-
married women in the United States
who are able to maintain homes with
out the slightest aid from mankind.
Any one of these women can choose
her husband without stopping to ask
if he can support her in the style to
which she has been accustomed.
New York city alone contains a
number of these financially independ-
ent women, enough, in fact, to make a
great convention. The whole list is
kept among the confidential records
of the collector of internal revenue of
the United States government.
He got the names as the result of
the income tax law and is forbidden to
make public any information concern
ing the Amazons of great wealth who
pay tribute for the possession of
money. If the record could be made
public, fortune hunters would find in
the schedule more valuable leads than
any other source of information
affords.
But the government carefully guards
the women from the prying eyes of
the money seeker and the roll is a
sacred secret.
In spite of the veil that is drawn
between the golden girls of the nation
and the public, the names of many of
them are known.
Miss Hartman a Hunter
There is Miss Carol A. Hartman,
daughter of the late e. II. Hartman.
She is possibly one of the most widely
known of the millionaire bachelor
girls. She is prominent in outdoor
sports and particularly hunting in this
country. So enthusiastic is she about
this sport that when there is no one
else to go hunting with she and her
brother, William, go out alone.
If it were necessary for Miss Harri-
man to earn her own living she could
do so without much difficulty on the
concert stage, having been trained
under one of the best masters in Paris.
She is one of the heirs to the millions
left by her father,
One of the most attractive spots on
the vast Hartman estate is the hand
some bathhouse and studio Miss Har-
riman had erected for her own use.
This is her den during the summer
months.
Regardless of her wealth, beauty
and position, "Girlie" Brown, chris
tened Angelica Schuyler Brown, still
remains a bachelor girl.
She is considered one of the most
beautiful and attractive girls in So
ciety. Practically every masculine
member of the set the charming An

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
"Avast! Cowards ALL" (F'alstaff)


"Avast! Cowards ALL" (F'alstaf)
Shakespeare.
Last night a man came here who
lectured to tie Harrisburg Natural
History Society named Frederick
Monsen, residence unknown, who, in
the course of his remarks, went out
of his way to insult his audience in a
political harangue in which he said
that the people of the United States
were towards" Is he one? To have
been travelling in Mexico and lectur-
ing in the United States so far away
from Germany! L, as one of his hear
ers was tempted to express my dis
appreciation but sucf. an action would
not be properly appreciated by one
using his place for incivility.
He is a traveller and tells the "Tales
of a Traveller" He said that he was
Norwegian but he promulgated pro-
German doctrines bordering upon an
archy, what in Germany they call
Democracy, as the remedies for the
troubles in Mexico.
This country is full of German
spies! Is he one? He is an acute
observer, exceedingly well educated,
but hates the United States with a
deadly animosity. His criticism OF
President Wilson was, to my simple
mind, disloyal considering that he
was a citizen of the United States. All
said in this connection could have
been omitted as it had nothing to do
with Mexico"
His Photographic views were
exquisite and aside from his own pre-
JUDGES, his lecture was excellent; but
that detection to reflect upon his
adopted country, outrageously left a
disagreeable effect

EMBARRASSING. OF COURSE

THAT was an eminently correct
/ point made in the leak" de-
bate in the House. when a
member suggested that the rules COM
mittee might find some embarrass-
ment in going on with the investiga-
ton, since the veracity of it's own
chairman had been called in question.
Such fine distinctions, however, do not
worry Democrats. Mr.. Henry, of
Texas, has heretofore shown no special
delicacy of behavior, either on the
floor or in committee. A little more
than two years ago he held up Con-
gress for days with his insistence that
there should be an appropriation of
government money to buy and hold
Texas cotton; and it is most unlikely
that his skin is any thinner now than
it was then.

Unless the Imperial Government
| should now Immediately declare
| and effect an abandonment of its
present methods of submarine war

/ of the United States can have no

Now comes Germany with declar-

presumes to tell us where our boats
may go and where they may not.
Come across this line and we will
sink your ships and kill your citizens
without warning, whether or not they
may be on peaceful errands," in effect
is what the latest German note says.
This puts the severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany squarely up to
the President of the United States. 1t
is difficult to see any other outcome
of the situation, unless the President
chooses to back down from his former
stand and shuts his eyes to the rights

as individuals. And severance of re-
lations means almost certainly partici-
patton in the war at no distant date.
These are the facts and it is in this
situation and the probabilities that
confront us that the citizens of this
country are most interested. But the
causes leading up to conditions now
confronting us and the position of
Germany with respect to the United
States are worthy of note. In the
first place the announcement of the
Imperial Government that it proposes
ruthless warfare on the seas un-
questionably brands Germany as an
outlaw among the nations. 1t is the
last desperate enterprise of despair
ing power. That it has the sanction
of the people of the empire shows only
how effectively the allies blockade has
become and how keenly the German
people feel the pinch of hunger and
privation the cutting off of imports
has brought about. The broad vis-
ioned German statesmen who have
| been playing for peace and opposing
the ruthless use of the submarine
know how hopeless the cause of Ger
many is and that the waging of a
murderous campaign upon the seas
will do no more than stave off the
evil day, while unquestionably it will
| kill the last spark of friendship for
Germany among the neutral nations of
the world.
The British blockade has cut off
Germany's outside food supply.
Therefore Germany, loudly proclaim
ing the inhumanity of Starving wo-
men and children" proposes to do
likewise for Great Britain, but not
having the power to accomplish that
end within the accepted terms of in
ternational law, the Imperial Govern
ment plans to do it unlawfully. All
neutrals must suffer to make Eng
land suffer. The scope of interna-
tional maritime travel and trade is to
be prescribed by Germany. 1t is here
that the interests of the United States
and those of Germany clash so SER
iously that unless the President, by
some unforeseen and unimagined
stroke of diplomacy is able to set the
nation right before the world without
the severance of friendly relations.

The proposition of Henry A.
Bomberger to have a State conference
of "Progressives" does not seem to
be as popular with the Democratic
newspapers as the old Progressive
Washington party used to be. The
Bomberger call for conference with
out fixing any date says that the men
he represents will not have anything
to do with the "Old Guard" of either
party, and it is said that they are
against the organizations in both
parties.
Thus far nothing has been heard
from William Finn and the other late
proprietors of the Washington party
about the Bomberger proposition, and
