OWN YOUR. OWN HOME

n RESIDENT GIPPLE, speaking
before the Real Estate Board
at it's annual meeting, urged an
"own your own home" campaign for
Harrisburg, and thereby threw out
a suggestion that, if followed. would
make this a better city.
Ownership of property makes for
the stability of society. A city the
people of which own their own
homes is apt to be more contented
and Interested in it's own develop
Inent along proper lines than is a city
where the population is housed in
rented buildings, however cheap the
rentals and desirable the houses
Ownership prompts intelligent study
of municipal affairs and particlpa-
ton in municipal activities, with the
attendant benefits to the community
at large.
But there is more than community
interest in individual home owner
ship. The householder who pays
for mis- home on the instalment plan
is paying into his own pocket every
month certain stated sum which
grows as his interest charges de.
crease, while the man who rents
gives all to the landlord and has
nothing for himself in the long run
The man who buys wakes up one
fine day to find himself the undis.
puted owner of property wortf
some hundreds or some thousands ci
dollars. The man who rents sees
the landlords purse fatten at the
expense of his own.
If the Real Estate Board car
arouse public interest in an "owr
your own home" campaign in Har.
risburg it will have done a real pub.
lie service. President Gipple's ad.
dress should have the attention Of
the Chamber of Commerce and Other
civic bodies qualified to give aid tC
such a project

over in Pottsville they propose to
solve the food problem in simple
manner. Daniel Duffy, chairman of
the Schuyllxill county food conser-
vation movement, is responsible for
this, having suggested that each per-
son buy two pigs and give them to
farmer to raise. When fattened
the farmer returns one pig and keeps
the other himself.
We all shudder at the stories which
appear from time to time of the
hardships and sufferings of the coal
miner. But here is a far different
tale coming from Johnstown, one
that makes you wish you had started
life as a miner. In the mining town
of Hoooversville lives Lawrence B.
Finzel who just before the recent
wage increase became effective earn
ed $347.92 in one month at mining
black diamonds. If he could keep
this up his annual wages would
amount to $4,175.04 and with the in
crease of wages this would run up
to more than $1,000. FinZeps father
came from Germany and settled in
Garrett county, Maryland, where the
Finzel family Is well known. lie had
six sons and his great desire was to
make them all industrious. He surely
made no mistake with this son.

~ ERHAPS it is not too much to
hope that out of the confusion
incident to the readjustment of
following the death of Senator James
J.. McNichol will come some form
of party unity that will discourage
the destructive factionalism that has
had its groundwork largely in the
warning ambitions of rival Philadel-
phia leaders. Certainly, that would
be contamination devoutly to be
wished. The rank and file are tired
of dissension and desirous of a peace
that shall guarantee the party the
predominance in the affairs of
Pennsylvania that it's numerical
strength warrants.
A grave responsibility rests with
the leaders of Republicanism in this
State at this time. A Governor, a
Legislature, Congressman and minor
officials are to be elected next year.
Is the party strength to be united for
a sweeping endorsement of Republi-
can principles such as the voters are
prepared to give, or is it to be dissi-
pated and rendered ineffective and
futile by personal and factional bick-
erings? That is the question the
leaders must answer, and upon their
decision rests largely whether or
not Pennsylvania is to have a Re-
publican Governor next year.

"Jist pass me by, an don't you see
Me when you look" An Ez, says he,
"Yt bet will" jist like some kid.
An KEEP his word-you bet he did.
Well, it must be two years ago
That was-an' sometimes I'd walk

A-goin' into church-not het
Up like l was-I hoped he'd get
Down off his big high hoss an come
Halfway with me; but no, by gum,
He jist walked by with that Gurn

An then I'd git het up again

PRESIDENTS ENDORSEMENT

-RESIDENT WILSON'S hearty
r endorsement of the plan for
- allied unity in the prosecution
of the war will do much to
strengthen Lloyd George in the hour
of his crisis as prime minister, and
his views will have the support of
all America.
We are in this war to win in the
shortest possible time and with the
least sacrifice of men and money.
Lack of unity has been back of
every allied disaster since the early
days of the conflict. America has
become the deciding factor. We must
not presume to dictate to our allies,
but we must impress upon them
as the President is doing, that moth
Ing counts for us except victory
Individual aspirations must be sunk
for the benefit of all concerned.
Centralized leadership, such as the
President and Lloyd George propose
would involve tremendous responsI-
bility. but that is far more desirable
than the present division of responsi.
bility that so splits the strength oI
the allies as to leave one part of the
front impregnable and another sc
weak that 1t may be ppnctured al

AUTOCRACY MUST GO

Is it not a shame that the world
should have been so disturbed; that
peaceful men are compelled to lie
out in the mud and filth in the depth
OF raw winter. shot at and stormed
at and shelled, waiting for a chance
to murder some other inoffensive fell
low creature? Why must the people
In old Poland die of hunger, not
finding dogs enough to eat in the
streets of Lemberg? The long lines
of broken peasants in Serbia and
Rumania; the population of Belgium
and Northern France torn from their
homes to work as slaves for the Ger
mans: the poor prisoners of war
starving in their huts or working in
factories and mines; the cries of the
old and the children. wounded by
bombs from Zeppelins; the walls of
the mothers for their sons; the very
rustling of the air as the souls of the
ten million dead sweep to another
world-why must all these horrors
come upon a fair green earth where
we believed that love and help and
friendship, genius and science and
commerce and religion and civiliza
ton once ruled?
ihe very Dodles or those ten mil
lion killed, If placed end to end in
two lines. would reach from New
York to San Francisco. Think OF
travelling this distance between a
double line of staring corpses.
1t is because in the dark, cold nor
thern plains of Germany there exists
alt autocracy, deceiving a great peo-
| pie. poisoning their minds from one
generation to another and preaching
the virtue and necessity of war. And
until that autocracy is either wiped
out or made powerless there can be
no peace on earth.-Ambassado
Gerard. formerly minister to Ger

Golfers of the Federal Treasury than
did those of 1918. The total of our
imports from all the world during
the fiscal year 1917 was $3.50, 600, 900
greater than for 1918, yet the 1917
customs revenues were 500, 2,000.0 900
loss than for 1918, Not much reve-
nue. can be expected from an aver
age duty rate of per cent.
Many layman on the subject
of taxation is heard to remark that
"th:. old order changeth"; that
"henceforth our Federal revenues
are to come from within rather than
from without; from the pocket
rather than from the port" AS the
expenditures for the proper func-
ticning of government increase that
may be so, comparatively speaking.
But how are profits and incomes to
continue under a policy which
makes America the largest fee
market in the world? Certainly,
we have had ample demonstration
of the effect on American earning
power of unrestricted foreign COM
petition in normal times. And who
believes that the labor of floating a
Liberty Loan in 1914, after one years
free play of the present tariff law,
would not have been increased ter
fold?
From the standpoint of revenue
alcne it may be that customs reve-
nues have assumed a secondary role.
but from the standpoint of the ef-
feet of protective duties on all
Federal revenues, national welfare,
American industry and individual
ism, protection remains the star in
the trade drama of the world.

THE BRITISH TOMMY

1T is philosophic trust, coupled
with absolute lack of imagination,
which makes the British soldier the
most invincible person in the world"
says Major Ian Hay Beth, in "All In
It." just published by Houghton
Mifflin Co. The Frenchman is in
spired to glorious deeds by his great
spirit and passionate love of his own
sacred soil; the German fights as no
thinks, like a machine. But the Brit
ish Tommy wins through owing to
his entire indifference to the pros
and cons of the tactical situation.
He settles down to war like any
other trade, and, as in time of
peace, he is chiefly concerned with
his holidays and his creature COM
forts. A battle is a mere incident
between one set of bil1ets and an
other. Consequently he does not al
low the grim realities of war TO OBJ.
sess his mind when off duty. One
might almost ascribe his success as
soldier to the fact that his domes-
tic instincts are stronger than his
military instincts"
