TAKING ROOT IN HE'LL

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer. ]
Henry Morgenthau, former am
bassador at Constantinople. made an
address the other night. He said
that the war will have been fought
in vain unless peace is restored up
on terms that will change the men,
tai attitude of the German people
toward its own masters and towards
the rest of the world"
II regard this as the fundamental
point in the whole international
situation" he went on. "At present
the German people possess a phil
osophy of life that takes it's root in
hell. Unless they discard this and
bring their thinking into line with
that of enlightened nations, we will
have obtained not an end to this war,
but merely a truce"
He insisted that the Allied armies
must destroy the whole German
military machine as a physical fact.

n N July 8, 1914, the Kaiser called
an imperial council at Pots
dam which was attended by
Moltke, then chief of staff, repre-
senting the army, Admiral Won, Tir-
pitt, representing the navy, the great
German bankers, railroad directors,
ambassadors and captains of indus
try. The Kaiser presided and sol
emnly asked each person present II
he was ready for war. All responded
in the affirmative except the financi-
ers, who stated that they must have
two weeks in which to sell their for
eign securities and to make Loans.
That time was granted, and the rec
ords of all the great stock exchanges
of the world show that during those
two weeks large blocks of stocks
were sold and that prices decliped
rapidly.
On July %, 1914, about two weeks
later, the Serbian ultimatum was
sent, which precipated the great
war.
1t is no longer a secret that the
Kaiser had been for many years pre-
pairing for this war. 1t is no longer
doubted that the Kaiser wanted this
war 1t is no longer disputed that the
Kaiser amDltlOn WAS 10 DeCOil6 d
world conqueror. His desires, meth
DDS, his faithlessness, heartlessness,
ambition, his very heart have been
laid bare to every mans knowledge,
and to-day he is the most despised
man on earth and the blacklist char
acter in all history. His war on civil
ization has set practically the whole
world afiame with anger and hatred.
Caesar took 500 towns, subdued
800 states, and conquered 100000
fighting men, one million of whom
perished in battle and 100000 of
whom were sold into slavery. Jenghis
Khan caused the destruction of A.
100000 human beings. A million
men perished in the battles of Tha-
pus and Munda, and the Tartars
filled nine sacks with right ears of
the slain in the battle of Lignitz.
Timour the Tartar's order delivered
100000 to eternity in single night,
and, as Gibbon tells us, erected on
the ruins of Bagdad a pyramid of
80, 900 heads. Belisarius poisoned the
waters of the hostile cities. The eX-
ploits of Surrey in Scotland left

NOW WE UNDERSTAND

VTOU may recall that the Tele-
graph expressed some surprise
several days since that Ma
tional Chairman Vance C. McCor-
mick had stood sponsor for letter
demanding cash contributions from
federal officeholders for the benefit
of the Democratic campaign fund.
The National Chairman had wept
so profusely over the contributions
:. st=tG employees to Republican
campaign funds that it was with
some astonishment we found his
name attached to letters brutally
telling government employees to
"come across" 1t seemed unlike the

cratic extravagant slush funds. to

Republican voters are not going to
be misled by any beating of tom
toms over the Democratic slogan
stand by the President If it hadn't
been for the Republicans who stood
by the President on his various i'm
portant war measures the country
would not now he in shape to smash
the Hun. When the history of the
war shall have been written it will
be found that the patriotic Republi-
cans at Washington and throughout
the country had more to do with de-
feating the Germans than their par
tisan> opponents.

STATES GRANARY

-HE Lower Susquehanna and
schuylkill valleys, long noted
II for their share in the upbuild-
ing of Pennsylvania premier indus
tries of iron and coal, are shining
in the record of food production in
war time and figures compiled at the
State Department of Agriculture
demonstrate that they are again
meeting the call of the nation not
only for men and raw materials, but
for food as we'll. Not far from one
half of all the wheat grown in Penn
sylvania this year was raised within
seventy-five miles of the State Capt.

within fifty miles. Between Harris
burg and Reading, Harrisburg and
Coatesville, Harrisburg and Mason
and Dixon's' line, in counties adja-

of the wheat counties is its mother
county of Lancaster.
With these figures in mind it is
interesting to know that Dauphin
has increased its acreage in wheat
and. that it will strive with its greater
agricultural sisters of Cumberland,
Franklin, York, Adams, Berks and
the others far up in the wheat list
to give Mother Lancaster somewhat
of chase.
Dauphin has given hundreds of
sons to the army and navy, produced
huge amounts of coal. cut big tracts
of timber, dug large tonnage of stone
for fiux and building and made more
iron than ever since the war began

cordingly we paused for a moment
to wonder who had nailed up tho
bunghole of the Mccormick barrel.
But now 1t is all clear. It was dis
closed, when the Democratic Cam
paign Committee filed its accounts
at Washington this week, that Mitch
ell Palmer, Vance c. Mccormick
and Joseph P. Guffey had loaned the
committee $150,0o0 last campaign.
This explains why Mccormick is SO

fund this year 1t also explains why
Mccormick was so set upon having
Guffey elected Governor of Penn

TTT HAT has Senator Sproul ever
wv done in public life to merit
the support of independent
citizens?" asks Chairman McCor-
.rnicks subsidized morning mouth
piece.
What a fool question to ask con-
cerning a man whose very first act
in public life was to run counter
to the wishes of the most powerful
political organization in the state
and who ever since on many oc-
casions has proved that he is man
of independent thought and action.
The Patriots owner is without a
candidate. The Democratic voters
at the primaries were so disgusted
with the manner in which he and
his fellow gangsters had man-han-
died what is left of the poor old
Democratic party in Pennsylvanie
that they nominated the representa-
tive of the rum interests, Judge
Bonniwell, rather than stand for
the subservient tool of the McCor-
mick organization.
As everybody knows Mccormick
could have written a prohibition
plank into the Democratic platform.
But he didn't do it. Why? Because
he was playing politics and some Of
his friends were afraid their inter-
ests with the saloons might be in
iured by any reference to temper
ance. So the McCormick-Palmer
platform contains no mention Of this
vital issue.
And now, this disgruntled, dis
credited political bosslet, feigning
that respectability to which his ac-
tions give the lie, solemnly urges
voters to cast their ballots for the
Prohibition candidate for Governor
on the ground that Senator Sproul
is not sincere in his courageous
stand for prohibition, a stand that
Mccormick in his Democratic plat
form was afraid to take.
The voters of Pennsylvania know
open book and the principles on
which he bases his candidacy are
honest, progressive and in full har-
mony with the best thought of the
State The voters also know Nc
Cormick, whom they defeated for
Governor four years ago, not only
in the State at large but in his own
county, city and ward. They will
not have any difficulty in under
standing the latest Mccormick out
burst for what it is. Senator Sproul
should be happy. 1t is a well-known
fact that anybody whom Mccormick
supports for office in Pennsylvania
is beaten, and vice versa.

ANY JOB LOOKS GOOD

THE Kaiser is ready for new
job. The erstwhile exponent of
the divine right of kings is now
willing to become hereditary presi-
dent of a German republic" 1t is to
laugh. What's in a name? Would
Wilhelm be any safer as hereditary
president than he is as kaiser? The
truth is that "all-highest" fears he is
about to become "all-lowest" and he
is in a state of mind where anything
less than utter ruin looks good to
him.

paragraph from his composition on

ther. Before her yawned the
chasm, and behind her the hunter :"

med up by Chairman Hays. He
says:
A more ungracious, more un-
Just, more wanton, more menda-
cious accusation was never made
by the most reckless stump orator,
much less by a President of the
United States for partisan pur-
poses.
1t is an insult. not only to every
loyal Republican in Congress, but
to every loyal Republican in the
land. 1t fully merits the resent
ment which rightfully and surely
will find expression at the polls.
The President has remained silent
under Chairman Hays vigorous re-
ioinder. Probably he is not anxious
TO bring upon himself another broad
side of the kind. By this time he
probably realizes the stupendous
blunder he has made. Republicans
everywhere have been aroused to an
extent that will send them to the
polls next Tuesday to prove to the
President that they are free-born
Americans and not weak creatures
incapable of action without White
House instructions.
-in-law McAdoo thinks the
President is justified in his appeal
and should be a dictator. Says he:
The President, who is commander
in-chief of the army and navy of the
United States, must not have the au-
thority divided in the United States
between the Congress on the one
hand and himself upon the other"
In other words the President is
greater than the constitution, in Mr..
McAdoo's opinion. 1t is time the
country registered it's ideas on that
subject. Republicans are indignant
as never before. The effect of the
White House plea will be merely to
increase the Republican vote.

Germany has made a deliberate at
tempt to destroy the industries of
France and Belgium. and when peace
comes she must be made to restore all
that she has stolen or wrecked. 1t is
because of this and other problems
that the next Congress of the United
States should be composed of men of
large experience. Unless definite steps
are taken now in planning for the

fer for our failure to prepare as we
