TO WRONG THOUGHT
Is Due Responsibility for Human
! Sorrow and Suffering.
Story Of Young Man Hidden Under
Smoking Ledge Points a Moral for
AlI of Us, Especially in These
Troubled Times.


Have you read the story? A trapper
amid the snow-hushed hills of western
Massachusetts spied smoke issuing
from a ledge of rocks in the depths of
a dense forest. He did not know what
to make of it. All sorts of fearsome
motions beset him as he ventured on
attempts to solve the mystery. But
when he had summoned help and they
went in at the opening detected, bear
ing lanterns and all hands armed to
meet whatever might be encountered,
they discovered a lone man bending
a bit of meat. And they learned from
him that he was living there to escape

der in war time!
The mystery Of the smoking ledge
would serve somebody well to point
a moral or adorn a tale. For most of
llife's experiences that puzzle and trou-
BILE US mortals are much like this of
the smoking ledge. We couture up no
end of dire thoughts about them
about diseases, disasters and especial
lily such d~istresses as are now come on
the world. when the whole Of civilized
life is like a smoking ledge. We think
lof nature as malign, of Hateful evil
powers as lying in ambush against us,
even of God himself as causing things
which confound us as we go the rounds
of common life. But by and by we dis
cover, in one instance after another,
that precisely what alarm and puzzle
human alteration from right doing. We
are wrong in thinking that fate or ma
ture or God are responsible for the
mysteries of suffering and sorrow. The
truth is that some human being who
has gone wrong is down under most Of
the smoking lodges that mystify us.
To get this clear in ones mind is of the
greatest Importance, especially in times
like these.

A SOLDIER TREE

|OV Err N o r BRUMBAUGHS
1T proclamation designating April
IL and April 26 as Arbor Days
this spring, makes an appeal for the
planting of fruit and nut trees about
public places and as shelters for the
bird-life which we are all too late
making efforts to encourage.
1t is a proclamation which should
be needed in every community in
Pennsylvania, especially in those
sections where tree planting has
been so seriously neglected.
1t would seem to be an appro-
pirate time to include tree planting
in the patriotic activities of the pub
lie. Why would it not also be a good
thing to have the schools and the
officials and the people generally, on
these two arbor days, plant trees of
the right kind and dedicate them to
the boys who are fighting for us at
the front? There could be no finer
paid our soldiers in the
service than the planting and nam
ing of trees in their honor.
If every family would plant one or
more trees for the boys who re-
sponded to the call to the colors,
there would be thousands of trees
set out this year
The Telegraph makes this sug-
gestion in the hope that the school
programs will include some patriotic
reference to tree planting and
public service, but let us have real
monuments to the boys
over there and over here-planted
all over Pennsylvania next month.
Drop a line to the Telegraph as
to what you think of the suggestion.

WHAT WE FIGHT

Reams of rhetoric have been spent
on descriptions of the German peril.
The resources of the English lang
uage have been exhausted in denun-
Citations of Teutonic greed and
cruelty.
If one should wish, however, to
put the case in a few words, he
might simply cite the story told by a
Norwegian woman, a stewardess on
a merchant ship that encountered
one of the Kaiser's submarines:
"The stewardess and her husband
were invited to go on board the sub
marine, apparently through cour-
tesy, and after they were on the deck
of the craft a few minutes the Off
GERS of the U-boat went below, clos
ed the matches and submerged the
craft, leaving both struggling for
their lives in the sea. After a short
struggle the man sank. Those in the
life-boats saw what had happened
and rescued the woman just as she
had lost hope of being saved"
This is no isolated instance. 1t is
typical of German practice through
out the war. And a nation that pro-
duces these submarine brutes and
applauds their brutality must be
beaten into submission for the flu
ture safety and happiness of the
world.-Providence Journal.

TIME TO KILL

VIZ HEN it is known that spies in
w one of the aeroplane factor
les of the United States filled vital
parts of planes with lead where
steel should have been used, and
when it is proved that I. w. w.
workers are delaying the produc-
tion of spruce in the forests of the
west, while the aeroplane builders
are short of this necessary material,
the time has come for some shoot
ing or hanging.
Every day our aeroplane program
is delayed sees some of our soldiers
needlessly sacrificed in France. The
men who hold up the manufacture
of machines are responsible for the
deaths of American soldiers. They
are not only spies; they are murder
ers.
In the name of God, how long is
this thing to be permitted?
If the government does not act
soon and vigorously patriotic citi-
zens may be expected to take the
law into their own hands.
1t was Ambassador Gerard who
told the Kaiser that there were
400 ,OO1 lamp posts in the United
States for 100000 traitorous Ger
mans" and loyal Americans may be
relied upon to put his threat into
execution. They have reached the
end of their patience.

NEGRO LEADERS

NO meeting of recent years has
" been more important in its
aim and scope than the con-
ference held at the Technical High
School auditorium on Wednesday
: evening. At this meeting there was
presented the pressing need of negro
education, owing to the influx of
thousands of laborers from the
south. 1t was shown that the great
est need is the preparation of teach
ers that there may be efficiency in
! the organization of the schools for
colored girls and boys.
Governor Brumbaugh indicated in
a forceful address the Importance
of preparing now for an enlarge
ment of the educational facilities
for a race that has been too long
neglected in this matter. DR..
Nathan c. Schaeffer State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, also
dwelt upon this need and pointed
out that the State should provide
more largely for the education If
the colored population of Pennsyl-
vania, which is so rapidly increasing
owing to the changed industrial con-
.ditions.
Leslie Pinckney Hill, principal of
= the Training School for Teachers at
Cheyney, showed in a most convinc-
ing way how much can be accom-
plished through the raising of the
standards of the teaching force of
the colored population. He made a
;strong and eloquent plea for the sup
port of the institution he represents,
,and the wider work that must be
done in the education of his people.
1t was his thought that the State
would be rendering a fundamental
public service by training teachers
for coiored schools.
Iti is an encouraging sign that so
many of the representative colored
men of Harrisburg are taking an
active interest in the things that are
important regarding the develop
Ament of the negro race here and
elsewhere. 1t is only through such

A woman who returned recently
from Camp Meade, told a true story
Oh an incident which she witnessed
while visiting her son there. The
custom of pretending that one is a
close relative as excuse to be ad-
mltted to the camp is getting so
common that military men are de-
vlslng some way of keeping out un-
desirables. A very good looking
young girl, said this lady, appeared
at the hospital and said she was the
sister of the patient, a young lieu
tenant On being admitted the lieu
tenants mother, acting as nurse,
again asked for her identity. I'm

So, was the answer that quite
hoored her. We'll, I'm his mother"

But, when addressing an audi

followed with the plea that to be
patriotic Republicans must all sacri-
flee their candidate and their party
for the success of the Democratic
voter can be truly American unless
he does vote the Democratic ticket
we must differ with him and con-
clude that Mr.. Marshall, after a fair
beginning. has descended to the TOM
foolery of speech that has been his
chief characteristic in office.
Always it is the Republican who
is called upon to lay his party upon
the altar of patriotism. Always it
is the Democrat who makes virtue
of building up his political machine
and standing by the country" at
one and the same time. Republicans
have supported the President in Con-

party members were ranting because
he had been elected on a platform
Of "he kept us out of war" and then
straight away headed into it. Rock
ribbed Republican Pennsylvania has
contributed a tenth of all the men
and money and about one-half of all
the materials that have gone into
the war. Republicans in this State
are tired of listening to piffle of the
Marshall type and they are prepar-
ing to give it the rebuke it deserves.
Nobody can talk in Pennsylvania the
way Marshall did in Wisconsin.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE STATE PRESS

Congress should lose no time in
passing a law permitting our boys
who have won decorations from
Allied governments to wear their
medals. What our fathers desired
to prevent was the ancient custom
of bribery in the shape of douceurs
or decorations, which potentates or
statesmen gave to foreigners to Sc
cure their interest. They never
thought the Constitutional provision
would be raised to prevent a brave
man getting a medal for doing more
than his bit.-Columbia Spy.
Meanwhile the supreme war coun-
Gil of the allies, refusing to accept
the German Russian treaties as
binding, has proclaimed: I'VE are
fighting and mean to continue fight
ing in order to finish once for all
with this policy of plunder and
establish in it's place the peaceful
reign of organized justice" That is
the way to talk-the only way that
any man with the slightest love for
humanity in his breast ought to talk.

Children of Consolation

BY the red road of storm and stress,
Their fathers footsteps trod.
They come, cloud of witnesses.
The messengers of God.
Graded upon some radiant gleam,
Like living hopes they lie,
The rainbow beauty of a dream
Against stormy sky.
Before the tears of love were dried,
Or anguish comfort knew,
The gates of home were opened wide
To let the pilgrims through.
Pledges of faith. divinely fair,
From peaceful worlds above,
Against the onslaught of despair
They hold the fort of love.
