The Spirit of the People

The spirit of the people has been
attested by a noteworthy
incident in the Middle West. A con-
ference was held recently in a state
famous for it's popular authors and
practical politicians, at which it was
decided to declare q political truce
during the Third Liberty Loan.
During this conference George
H. Duuscomb, of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago, remarked:
This meeting is one which will be
memorable in the history of the
country, because here the Republic
an and Democratic parties have
agreed to disregard all differences,
in order that by united efforts they
may obtain the greatest measure of
cooperation and unity in the right
eous cause for which our nation is
lighting.
"A subordination of party aims
and ambitions at this time is an ex-
preston of the higher patriotism and
an evidence of the loftiest ideals.
With the great political parties work.
ing as a unit In the interest of the
Liberty Loan, far-reaching results
will be obtained that otherwise would
never be realized"
This attitude, which Is general,
will contribute imm ensely to the
many factors that will lessen the
strain of the present campaign. An
other important element is the strong
position of our banks, which, OF
course. reflects the sound financial
conditions of the nation.-Guaranty

THE SERVICE PARADE

MO MORE impressive procession
" ever graced the streets of Har-
risburg than will be that of
Sunday, when representatives of the
boys who have gone away to fight for
our liberties will march, bearing the
little service flags that each home
and organization having represent
ative in the service is entitled to dis
play.
Harrisburg has sent a vast num-
Der of its sons to the defense of the
country and to contest for the free
dom of the world-more, indeed,
than most of us realize. So vast are
our Armies and Navy that the sun
no longer sets on the uniform of the
United States soldier or sailor. On
a hundred seas, from Siberia to the
Philippines, from Honolulu to the
plains of Italy, and along the GRIM
son rivers of bloody France they
carry the Stars and Stripes as conf
IDENTIFY and as proudly as those at
home will bear abroad the service
flags next Sabbath day.
And it is fitting that the ceremony
should be accompanied by divine
service, for we are faring forth like
the 'Israelites of old, to make the
good fight for God and the right,
and our prayers should go out FOR
the success of our troops and for
baaveplv bIasSinps unon orr deVoted

THE RAT-POISON HIM

TIME Department of Agriculture,
in sending circulars over the
country urging farmers and
others to poison rats as they appear
about their premises, makes the
astounding assertion that while
America is trying to feed the allies,
this pest annually destroys foodstuffs
in the United States worth 5000, 0,000,-
OO0." The statement is based on sta
tistics compiled by the Bureau of
Biological Survey, and doubtless is
as nearly correct as estimates of the
kind usually are. But whether the
loss be more or less, the fact remains
that it is staggeringly heavy and en-
tirely ineXcusable, particularly at a
time when thousands of human be-
ings are perishing for the lack of
grain.
The rat may be exterminated more
easily than most household pests,
and, once gone, sometimes does not
return for long periods. Both the
trap and poison may be used in rid
ding grain bins and pantries of these
filthy, disease carrying robbers.
Rats are excusable, perhaps, in old
buildings, but with present-day
methods of construction at his dis
posal the architect or builder has no
reason for erecting structures that
are not entirely ratproof. Concrete
is the answer, and it should be used
literally where there is danger of
loss by rat invasion.

RETIREMENT FUND

MO DOUBT the opinion of Dep
IN uty Attorney General Keller in
the schoolteachers' retireme ent
act, limiting its benefits to those who
come under it's provisions with the
full operation of the act next year,
is in full harmony with the construc-
ton of the act. But, certainly, as
Senator Beidleman told a convention
of teachers here last Saturday, there
should be made some provision for
teachers at or approaching the old
age limit who would come under the
statute did it go into effect this Year,
but who may be dismissed by the
boards employing them at the close
of the present term. Senator Beidle-
man also was right when he said
that the teacher, and not tie admin
istrator, should get the benefit of the
fund and $4,000 out of the $40, OOO
appropriated appears like rather
large slice for that purpose.

Ser-staE pointed out, well able to care

TINE FOR ACTION

Commenting on Lloyd Georges re-
cent speech and Americas delay in
getting into the war, the New York
Sun says: Lloyd George did not be-
wall the past. Nobody over there
does. Nor need we. The mere
smearing of blame. however much il
is deserved, will not make amends
for those things in which we were
wanting when the Germans were
ready to deliver their blow and did
deliver it with all that was in them.
But from this on every one of us
here is entitled to demand speed.
The practical businessmen the sue
cessful administrs tor who wants q
perfect instrument with which TO do
his work. doesn't do nothing at all
until he gets it. He takes the best
instrument he can lay his hands on
right away and does the best he can
with that until he gets the better
thing. The railroad president doesn't
stop running his trains because he
is waiting to find swifter and more
powerful locomotives than anybody
else in the world has. All the while
that he is hunting for those swifter
and more powerful locomotives he
pulls his trains and carries his traf-
fic somehow with whatever locomo-
tives he can obtain.
"The year that we have let slip
away while we were waiting for the
perfect this thing, the perfect that
thing, and the perfect other thing
with which to get into the fight, is
gone forever. Our delay has cost us
fabulous sums of money. 1t may
sacrifice thousands of American lives
that might have been saved If wshad
been driving ahead doing things, get
ting somewhere as fast as we could
get there. But the British, the French

fatal If we now drive ahead at full
speed. This time we must not fail"

It will profit nobody if the report
of the Senate committee on military
affairs about our failure to produce
airplanes for war service is treated
merely as a contribution to the files
of the document room. The report
reveals what the committee very
temperately describes as a "gravely
disappointing situation" We need
not dwell upon the details of the
conditions the committee found TO
exist. The disappointment to the
country will not be softened by any
thing contained in the minority re-
port signed by three Democratic
members of the committee. They
merely set up in palliation of the
shortcomings in airplane production
the very great difficulties encoun-
tered in the work. In time of wal
men must be found who can over
come difficulties.
