British manufacturers who have

ployed on government work, are
keeping their advertising continu-

while they are perfectly willing TO

willing for the sake of winning the
war to have their factories comman-

completely stopped, yet they are not
willing to sacrifice their goodwill;
they are not willing to have thcir

And SO they continue their ad-
vertising, continue building their
goodwill, so that when the war shall
be won there will be an immediate
demand Tor the billions of dollars

This is a time when every manu-

Cotton Profiteering?

tF'rom Phil. Evening Public Ledger1
When the Department of Agricul-
ture reported that weather. conditions
had reduced the prospective cotton
crop of 1925. 900 bales to 11,137,1OO,
cotton went up 81 bale on the ex-
changes.
Now the war industries board Is
considering the advisability of fixing
the price of cotton in order to "stabi-
lize" it. 1t is selling around thirty
hve cents pound. 1t used to be pos
sible to raise it at a profit if it could
be sold for eight cents. 1t is said that
1T now costs eighteen cents a pound
to produce it.
The anticipated crop of more than
100000 bales was much larger
than usual. The average crop is
about 100000 bales. The prospec-
tive shortage, when compared with
this average. is not very large. There
ought to be a generous profit for the
growers If they can get thirty-five
cents or even thirty cents a pound
for it.
The country will await with con-
siderable interest the efforts of the
war industries board to stabilize the
price, knowing, as it does, that
Chairman Kitchin, of the Ways and
Means Committee, has not sought to
tax any of the war proIits of the
cotton growers.

buckwheat coal for his winter home
near Duncahnon. With considerable
prominence his act was ventilated to
the public. 1t happens that Mr..
Jennings. according to the ruling Of
State Fuel Administrators William
Potter. had a perfect right to buy
the coal he did in the manner he did;
furthermore, he figured it was

generally wanted by the public.
Friends of Mr.. Jennings were of the
opinion that some other object than
that of giving the news moved those
responsible fer the publicity. In view
of Mr.. Jennings activity in war work.
especially in the Liberty Loan drives
of the past, IT was regretted that any
stigma should be cast on him and
there were not a few persons who
said so in emphatic words.

A Message to American Business
BY Val Fisher, London Publisher

TINE experience of Britain's re-
tail stores contains an OBJ
ject lessen which should not be
lost on the businessmen of America.
During the first few months of he
war, many stores cut down their ad-
vertising. But Selfridge did not. He
did not skip single day. He used
all the space the papers would al
low him to use and has continued to
do so. The result was that Self
ridges profits during the first year
of the war were S573.0O0; during
the second, s75O,O0O. and during the
third year, s1,125.000.
Another London store, much
larger than Selfridge's at the start
of the war, decided to cut down it's
advertising, and did so until they
saw their mistake, and the result is
shown in their returns. This stores
profits for the first year of the war
were S1,546, 900; for the second year,
S1,0O0,O00; and for the third year,
$1.175.000. From fourth or fifth
place among London stores, in VOL
ume of business and profits. at the
start of the war. Selfridge has climb
ed to second place as the result of
his continuous advertising, and he
would be first to-day, had not the

MILITARY TRAINING

40 doubt the experiment in ,nili-
nj tary training about 10 be tried
- out at the High School will be
so successful that it will be found
necessary TO employ a regular drill
master and instructor. The members
of the Harrisburg Reserves who will
contribute their services temporarily
are performing a patriotic duty. The
young men who will benefit are rap
idly nearing eighteen, the new draft
age. and :he more they know of the
rudiments of the war game when
they enter the Army, the greacer
their chances OF promotion. From
the ranks OF the new armies the non-
commissioned officers and lieuten
ants will be chosen and, naturally, the
lad who goes to training camp with
a knowledge of drill formations and
the duties of the soldier will have a
big handicap over his fellow who has
his military u. b. c's to learn.
But even though the war be over
in a few months and the boys of six
teen and seventeen now are not
called, the mental discipline and
physical exercise they will receive
at drill would make the new course
of study well worth continuing as a
part of the school requirements un-
der an experienced teacher.

STATE TAXATION
[From the Philadelphia Press.I

[From the Philadelphia Press
1t becomes more and more evident
that one of the principal functions
the next Legislature will be called on
to fill will relate to a new basis f2r
raising the necessary revenue of :he
state by taxation. That the process
will have to he on a new basis, or al
least, one differing considerably from
the present. is evidenced by the fat
that considerably larger sums will
have to be appropriated TO carry on
the Commonwealth's business. Wnen
the last Assembly was making its ap-
propriations the United States had
only recently entered the war and al
that time tht situations which have
developed during our war making
were not in evidence, nor were they
to be forcseen. Consequently, the
appropriations of 1917 were made on
only slight expansion of the ordin-
ary peace time conditions, and The
amount of money available for them
was largely The product of our usual
peace time items of taxation and
valuations AS the main
tenance Of charitable institutions is
one of the largest burdens on the
State Treasury, it will be seen at once
that here Iione is an item that, II In
creased. will throw new burdens OF
taxation on the state. With the main
highways of the state bearing an un-
precedented load of. freight traffic
which the railroads cannot take care
of. and rapidly breaking up under
the strain, 1t is hard to see how an
extensive road building enterprise
can be avoided, even under the pres
ent conditions which make road
building so tremendous a problem
Eere, again. is the necessity of rails
ing and spending huge sums.
With the burdens of Federal taxa
ton what they are, and inevitably
destined for increase under the new
bill, it will be appreciated that the
task of the states money raising
body will be a delicate one, demand
ing more foresight and judgment
than have ever been brought to .he
task before. After the more spec
tacular things. such as the prohibit
ton and suffrage amendments. for
instance, have been got out of the
way. the next Legislature may wei
find taxation problems its principal
matter Of care.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE JENNINGS CASE
To TIE Edi'0r Of Tie Tclegraph:


In view of the attack on William
Jennings l am prompted to ask
whether or not in the light of right
living and the demand upon us to DO
all We can 10 win the war, this pros
titution of wealth and power on the
part of the millionaire owner of the
Patriot is not wholly ineXcusa bie-and
unpatriotic. There is no ground, I'M
less the occasion be so extraordinary
as TO demand it, for men who can to
strike right and left that they may
cripple the prospects of America in
winning the war. One would think
Mr.. Mccormick, high in the councils
of President Wilson, would be The
last man in the United States to
open his columns to this sort of thing
at any time, most of all at a time
when every one is yielding his best to
uphold the President and support the
country against the unspeakable Ger
man. It is bad enough in time of
peace to sit back and scowl and scoid
at those with whom we do not agree.
At no time is this sort of thing
creditable; at this particular time it
is wholly unwarranted and unpatrio-
tic. Either Mr.. Mccormick himself
or the men TO whom he has entrusted
the publication of his papers in his
absence, Under the guise of duty"
are doing their level best to hamper
the administration in carrying out
the plans that are so near the Presi-
dents heart. In view of the urgency
of the moment, would it not be we'll
for Mr.. Mccormick to forget his per-
sonal dislikes and to cast aside his
political disappointments and turn in
with the remainder of Harrisburg's
loyal citizens to win the war. Daily
persual of his papers certainly proves
the need of a patriotic head and a
patriotic staff in Market Square, Har-
risburg, Pa.

COARSE WORK

[From the Kansas City Times.J
The German crown prince tries to
emphasize the theory that Germany
did not desire war. but that England
did. Germany had just levied big
property tax to increase its army and
the French government had been
warned by its military attache at
Berlin more than a year before the
war that the German preparations
would be complete by July, 1914
In the same period the British gov
ernment had refused to take Lord
Roberts advice and increase its mill
tary force.
Specifically, when war came Great
Britain had an army of 1856, 600 men.
Germany one of eight hundred thou
sand. Also Germany had several
millions of trained reserves to a few
hundred thousand in England.
The crown prince is about as re-
liable in his remarks on the origin
of the war as he is in his statement
that the majority OF Americans do
not know what they are lighting for.

THE AMERICAN'PRIVATE

LFrom the Stars and Stripes. France
Greater love-" says the Bible,
hath no man than this. that he lay
down his life for his friend"
The American private has. shown
a still greater love for his country.
He has come $500 miles from home.
minus the glory and trappings of
rank, prepared to give up his life
and sometimes more-for the land
he loves. He is giving up The
comfort and ease and the dreams
he knew at home for the long
drudgery and monotony of training,
not to speak of reveille and chow
and inspection and stable of K. P.
details too numerous to mention.
All this is but the prelude to the
life forfeiture he stands ready to
make, and often makes, at the END
of the road. He has the greatest
job in the war, because his Job en-
tails the greatest sacrifice, and this
is war of sacrifice.
An officer OF considerable rank
saw line of Yanks move to the at
tack, cheerful, nervy, on the lob. as
they headed for almost certain
death into a machine gun ne3t.
Later, he saw many of them come
back, shot up. dripping blood ard
minus food and water for more than
just q few hours. But, limping or
reeling, they returned from-the at
tack as they went to it-cheerful
and nervy. without a whimper or
complaint. only sorry they couldn't
go to finish with their pals. They
took nothing to their credit. and
they looked for no reward. They
had merely done a job. and they
didn't stop to figure that 1t was
the biggest job of the army. And
the officer looking on, said 1t all:
God! There's no living man too
good to be a private in the Ameri-
can Army"
