YOUR SHARE

The boys who enlisted are giving
their blood
In battle for mine and me;
The women and babies are giving
their food
In countries across the sea;
They suffer privations undreamed in
our land
For the same ideals we hold.
They make sacrifices we can't under
Where in plenty are bread and
The mothers, the children, the old,
the unfit,
Are giving their all over there
BY George / don't want to, do mere
ly my bit
But do my full share-my share!
It's little enough 1 can do over here
For the boys who are fighting for
me.
But I'll give "till it hurts" and I'll
give with good cheer
When it pinches the prouder I'll
be.
Why, the shirt from my back would
joyfully tear
Just to feel less accused, less
ashamed
Every time my thoughts turn to our
boys over there
And the women and children and
MANNED;
Just to feel was doing my utmost
with grit,
Just to feel 1 was playing things
square,
Just to know I was not merely do
ing my bit
But-thank God!-I was doing my
sharel

COMMANDED INDIANS

"If a contingent of American In
dians is sent to France to fight for
Uncle Sam against the Central Pow
ers, they will find a warm welcome
from General Pershing," Col ]. A.
George of South Dakota remarked
the other day General Pershing has
been a friend of the Indians for a
great many years. He commanded a
company of Sioux Indian scouts in
the Sioux war of 1S90-91, and has
lived among. the red men for good
many years.
II happened to be at the Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation in South
Dakota during the winter of 1S90-91,
when Pershing was a second lieuten-
ant, He participated in the battle OF
Wounded Knee and remained on the
reservation for months after the sur
render of the Indians, commanding
the company of Sioux scouts.
I'm the summer of 1891 Pershing
received promotion to first lieuten-
ant, while he was the head of the
Sioux scouts. His brother, who was
with him then, kid boy, afterward
became an officer, but retired q few
years later because of i'll health,
while Black Jack went on to great
things.
"Of course, it would be silly for
me to say that Pershing is a first
class officer, for his present position
as head of the American forces in
France proves that, but I may say
that as far back as 1890 Pershing
showed that he was destined to be-
come one of the great figures in the
military history of this country

sinking vessels the men called cheer
lily to each other and the last that
many q man saw of his comrade was
the smile of farewell upon his
countenance as the swirling waves
swept over his face.
One of these days there will come
the order to American soldiers
"over the top and the best OF luck"
in France and the smile with which
the troops will greet the command
will bode no good to opposing Ger
mans. The smile of the man who can
die smiling is the smile that won't
come off, and it is but paraphrasing
an old adage, without detracting
from it's truth, to say that he who
smiles last, smiles best. No form of
frightfulness that ever will be de-
vised can stand in the way of the
man who can meet it with a smile.

CHOKING

The newest burden visited upon
this ound-shouldered generation
ION account of the war" is a further
increase in the price of common,
everyday linen collars. Until a few
months ago the ordinary collar sold
at retail for twelve and a half cents
War clouds rumbled and it advanced
to fifteen. Clouds burst and it leaps
to twenty-an increase of 33 1-3 per
cent.
Collars at twenty cents are not un-
heard of. Not much more than ten
years ago the usual price was twen-
ty-five cents. although the collars of
that day frequently survived more
than three or four launderings. But
to-day's collar of commerce. a poor
thing which fares but i'll in its quar-
rel with the cruel teeth of the lauu-
dry, is not worth, judging by COM
mon values, ten-cent piece. Mate
rials may have increased in cost,
labor may have demanded a higher
wage. But even so, the collar slave
will hold, a collar is not worth
twenty cents. Either a new process,
new material or a new style will be
sought at once.
Twenty cents is too much; too
painfully much. With shoes at the
price that would formerly command
three-piece suit, it will soon be re-
marked that CLOTHES break the
man. Boston Journal.

THE SMALL SUBSCRIBER

1t was the small subscriber who
covered himself with glory in the first
Liberty Loan campaign. Again the
Government appeals to him to show
his patriotism in a practical way by
buying the bonds of the second issue.
Uncle Sam far prefers 1000 sub
scribers who put up 500 apiece tn
two men of wealth who invest $50,
600 each. He wants the moral sup
port of every loyal American, no
matter how small his contribution.
1t is the spirit, not the amount, that
counts. If the spirit is all right
there will be no trouble about rais-
ing all the money needed for the
war.-Philadelph Record

The Altoona Tribune is discuss

one is a sample: 1T is becoming
more and more the conviction of
thoughtful citizens here in Altoona
that the city has as much right to
the services of conscientious, cap
able, trained servants as the railroad
company or any other corporation
or individual engaged in business
operations of any kind. The voters
are beginning to understand that
politics and politicians should be
relegated to the rear in city govern
ment. They are thinking that
municipal government is a business
proposition pure and simple and that
the best men who can be obtained
should be made city councilmen."
The Scranton Republican, which
chronicles considerable indication of
a fine Republican vote in Lacka-

cious opening of the campaign for

siderable work for the election of A.
T. Connell for mayor. Mr.. Connell
is a Republican and making a siren
uoUs campaign because Democrats
insist on playing partisan politics.
The Republican says editoriaily:
Because of their belief in his inflex-
ible resolution to employ all the
power of the mayoralty, in case of
his election, for the best solution of
the mine cave problem, the thinking
men of the city, among whom are
many who have lost heavily by sur
face subsistence, are declaring in
favor of Alex T. Connell. The diff
ference between Mr.. Connell and his
opponent is that while Mr.. Durkan
has used the mine cave menace to
make himself a candidate for mayor,
Mr. Connell, if elected, will use the
office of mayor to halt the mine
cave menace"

TONE IS CHANGING

In what a state of flux is the Ger
man mind can be seen from a series
of interviews with leading Germans
published in the Stockholm Dagens
Nyheter. A widely-known German
scientist in Sweden on official busi-
ness is quoted in this influential
Swedish organ as follows:
THE discord among the German
people is increasing week by week.
1t is more irreconcilable in it's prin-
ciples and more resentfui in it's acri-
mony than at any time before the
war-even if it is somewhat less
noisy Public opinion is divided in
different directions, which do not al
together coincide with the grouping
of the political parties.
THE question dominating every
thing else-which is peace and not
war-has obviously called forth the
shifting of the political frontiers.
Furthest to the Right are the So
called Pan-Germans, the last rem
nants of the jubilant days when the
war was greeted as a blessing.
But for every passing day, more and
more single individuals go over to
the other group, who face the truth
bravely and only wish as soon as
possible and at the cheapest possible
price to slip out of the misery before
1t becomes still worse.
More than one highly placed man
among the Pan-Germans who has
advanced to this clearness of view
would be inclined to burst out:
Leave Belgium and Serbia, nay
even Alsace-Lorraine, promise to pay
almost any sums; only put an end
TO ii, and that soon.'
Much more remarkable is the last
article of the series, which records
an interview with a former member
of the Reichstag, who had voted for
the great war budget. When asked
how he would consider the proposal
that the "belligerents in common
ought to contribute to the restora-
ton of those parts of our continent
which had been most damaged by
the war" the German got very angry,
beat the table with his fist, and
shouted:
81 never dreamed of anything so
mean! Are we Germans to receive
from any other power a penny of
contribution to restore Belgium to
whatever extent 1t is possible? Are
we not to be left to offer reparation
for what has been destroyed? viii
any one in Europe dare to offer to
help us with this? They must in
deed regard us as a low lot! oh,
no; when such infamy has been done
in the name of the German people,
the nation itself will, in all humility,
know how to wipe off the stain which
has thereby been placed on it's repu-
tation and character Alone will we
do penance for this as for many
other things. The world must allow
us to win this moral victory, even If
the other should slip out of our
hands"

WANTED-A LITTLE BOY

A Teddy bear, an elephant.
A rocking horse-all three,
In voices soft and sorrowful
Thus made complaint to me;
"The days are long. the days are dull,
That once were full of joy;
Life has no meaning now for us.
We have no little boy
'He was so lively and so gay;
His feet were never still;
Sometimes when little feet go by,
1t sets us all athrill.
We miss him so; we miss his pets;
His monkey, cat and pup.
oh. life is not worth living since
Our little boy grew up!
THE days are still, the days are long
That once so swiftly flew;
We're very tired of standing here
Without thing to do.
Kind friend, please listen to our
prayer
'Twould give us untold Joy
If you could find for us somehow
Another little boy!"

Never were there more cattle in
the country than now, says high au-
thority at the food control office. In
normal times at least 40 per cent of
the meat sold is foreign, but now
market supplies are down to 10 per
cent home produce making up the
remaining 80, which has been an i'm
portant factor in the recent rise in
prices.
Might not supplies be held up?"
inquired a Chronicle representative.
THE farmer might withhold his
cattle, but it is not impossible to deal
with that situation should it arise"
was the reply. Then it would not
pay to put meat into cold storage
on descending market. Moreover
the food controller is taking control
of all cold storage accommodation

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW

A RATHER cynical Pennsylvania
II statesman once said that no
matter how great an effort was
made, no primary election law could
he framed that would satisfy every
body. 1t does seem, however, as
though steps could be inaugurated
now to place upon the statute books
primary law that could be under
stood by at least half of the 1.500,-
900 or so of voters in the Keystone
State. In the last few years so much
progress has been made in the codi-
fication of the game and fish laws
that one can go for a days sport
away from telephone connection
with an attorneys office and all may
die conffdentFin the knowledge that
code relative to estates of deceased
which is among the best in the land
is ready to enforce.
But we can not go to the polls on
primary election day with the GER
tain information that we will be able
TO record our will. Witness the re-
cent injunction proceedings in the
Dauphin county court to determine
what shall constitute a sole nominee;
the numerous suits in county courts
growing out of the primary and the
hearings in Philadelphia on the ef-
fort to strike down the independent
papers.
"'he primary election law of Penn
syNania needs simplification, plain
statements of how to vote, to COM
.pute, to certify. The State has spent
thousands of dollars to investigate
the subject, the Governor has re-
ceived numerous letters from judges
giving their views. and there is not
n man interested in politics who has
not had experiences, more or less
unpleasant, due to the lack of a clear
primary law.
To the persons who may be able
to get in 1919 a law which will not
require constant reference to the
courts we will be grateful indeed.

OVER THE TOP AGAIN!

devotion to the ideals of democracy.
With more than two thousand of her
sturdy young men in France or the
training camps, she has come for
ward with her dollars to back up her
manhood in the only way the folks
at home can help the boys at the
front.
This is no new story in the his
tory of the city. Always in previous
wars Harrisburg has done her full
share. In the Revolution Harris
burgers fought with Washington
from the lakes to the CALIFORNIA;. In
1912 Harrisburg men lay in the
trenches about Baltimore on that
historical and critical occasion when
Francis Scott Key composed his IA
nous anthem. In the Mexican war
Harrisburgers marched with Scott
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. In
tho Civil War countless of our best
and bravest fought and died on num-
berless battlefelds, and since that
time our quota has been full always
when the call of country took Amer
loans in the cause of freedom to
Porto Rico, to Cuba. to the Mexican
border. to the Philippines or the rev.
olution-harried republics of Central
America. So it happened that when
Tho erst call came for money with
which TO fight the Kaiser. Harrisburg
was the first city in the nation TO
oversubscribe its quota. and follow
ing this. Harrisburg, when the draft
a,,otments were made public. stood
as the only city in the State having
sent sufficient volunteers from the
district to free it from conscription
on the first call. And up to this time
not one man has been drafted from
the capital city of the Keystone
State.
With a record like this to look
back upon, and inspired by the thrill
ing address of Newell Dwight Hills,
If is no wonder that the little army
of 600 statesmen went fourth in the
do-or-die spirit that carried them
over the top of the city's quota yes
terday with s4,OOO,OOO in sight, and
a little more for good measure.
Have you paused to think what
that means? 1t means that for every
man. woman and child in Harris
burg nearly $50 has been subscribed.
Some of us were, for one reason or
another. unable to invest in a bond.
So the more prosperous-the banks,
the big business houses, the corpora
tions-which we used to think of
as "soulless"-came, forward and
put up their dollars in order that
there should be from Harrisburg the
equivalent of more than one Liberty
Bond for every man, woman and
child in the city. And what has been
said of Harrisburg applies equally to
Steelton and to some of the other
allied towns, and should be an ex-
ample for those which have not yet
come up to their quota.
Hatssofr to the men who planned
the drive and to the Noble Six-hun-
dred' who carried their orders
through. Hats off to the people of
Harrisburg who gave the Kaiser
100000 wallop over the head this
week. and stand ready, with ammu,
milton boxes not nearly empty, for
the next call to volley forth their
dollars to back up their boys in
khaki.
