and the people. The former only de-
sired to work with and for the ma
tion. Alluding to the differences of
opinion on political matters. the
Chancellor said:
The period after the war also
VIII confront us with new domestic
problems. / know that the prevail
ing discomfort is not influenced alone
by the sufferings and worries of war
| time but by quite definite cares and
grievances of political nature. I
am, of course, alluding to that great
reform bill which, it is true, does not
fall within the jurisdiction of the
Reichstag, but nevertheless engages
political circles in Germany far be-
yond the Prussian frontiers"
Prussia Firm For Reform
Count Won Hertling asserted that
the Prussian government was firmly
| resolved to have the bill accepted,
and to that end it would not hesitate
to use any means constitutionally
available.
There must be no question of
procrastination, he said. Should we,
however" the Chancellor continued,
not succeed in attaining our con-
tenlplated aim by parliamentary de-
pate, then another way indicated by
the constitution will be pursued"
Referring to the question of peace
the Chancellor then said that hu-
manity shudders at the thought that
this war may bring others and the
question is engaging the attention
| OF more people as to the possibility
or creating an organization among
peace-needing nations which would
set right in the place of might and
n FUNl al
culinary battles" The Chancellor
proceeded:
AS is known, the President OF
the United States laid down in four
teen points the guiding lines for a
conclusion of peace. On January "a
| or this year L discussed in your
committee all these points and, re-
Safdlng the last, remarked that the
idea of league of nations as sug-
gested had my entire sympathy on
the condition that an honest will to
peace and the recognition of the
| equal. rights of all states of the
league were guaranteed.
How necessary was this reserva
ton was shown by the statements
OF our enemies, who, in a league OF
nations, thought of an alliance di-
reeted against Germany. and he1
allies.
! President Wilson in a message
on February took further ster
in the same direction and laid down
four points or principles which in
his opinion should be applied in ar
exchange of views. In my Reichs.

myself in principle in agreement
with the possibility of discussing q
general peace on such basis.

denotes change and change is neces-
sary for growth, and is always The
accomplishment of growth. When
there are no questions to be answer
ed, no problems to be solved, then
come stagnation and death. We
sometimes hear it said, with baited
breath, that new government ideas
introduced or proposed are socialis-
tic. We allow ourselves to be frigh-
tened by phrases. There are per-
haps nearly as many different forms
of socialism as there are people who
use the word Our public school
system itself is in the highest degree
socialistic in a proper sense; and it
may well be that the true relation of
mar TO man in government, based
upon the theory of essential equality,
may be properly described as social
ism.
Only the Beginning
But the changes that will take
place when sthe war is over will be
only the beginnings of great changes,
and the boys and girls who are now
in the schools, and the boys and
girls who are yet to go into the
schools, will be the men and women
who will have to carry their own
heavy load III the solution of the
problems of democracy; for demo-
cracy can never be finished prod
act. The important thing for us OF
this day is TO see to it that the peo-
pie are so educated that they can
discriminate between the true and
the false, and thus be prepared TO
meet the tremendous problems that
will present themselves. The sys-
tenn of public education provides a
vitality important means for this pre-
paration.
Our own public schools are good;
they can be made better. They are
what the people are satisfied with;
they will be better when our people
want them to be better. Our people
will want them to be better when
they realize their importance to the
very life of the nation. 1t is of the
utmost importance that they shall
continue to develop, and that they
shall develop more rapidly than
they have been, both in quality and
scope. But if they shall, if we are
to do the most we can do and ought
to do to make the world safe for
democracy and American democracy
safe for the world, there must be
more interest among the thinking
people Of Harrisburg in our own
public schools, and in the public
school system, more willingness TO
lend hand in the development of
the schools, and more intelligent,
kindly and sympathetic criticism OF
THEM administration.
There needs to be a clearer and
livelier concept of the position of su-
preme importance that they occupy
in our governmental system. They
are vastly better than they were
twenty-five years ago, as they were
better than they were twenty-five
years before; but they are not finish
ed, and they never can be finished
A real excellence of anything that
has life in it is its augury of greater
worth and power, and this is true OF
our public school system"

Edge Wins Easily For
Jersey Senate Place

Trenton, n. j., Sept. 25.-The vic
tory of the organization candidates
in yesterdays primary election grew
in magnitude to-day with the tabu-
lation of returns from more than
one-half of the districts in the
state. Governor Walter E. Edge was
an easy winner of the Republican
nomination for the long term of
United States Senator. defeating
Representative Edward w. Gray and
George L. Record by vote of about
ten to one.
Although early returns indicated
that George w. La Monte, of Bound
Brook, former State Banking Com
missioner, had won the Democratic

tor, long term, later figures pointed
to a close race between La Monte
and Charles O'Connor Hennessy, of
Hackensack. Both had a good lead

America, where the people are ac-
quainted with them through the nu-
merous Irish immigrants. The Brit
ish government, which is especially
fond of talking of right and JUS

with those principles to recognize the
conglomerate rabble of Czecho-
Slovaks as belligerent power.
No Plea For Mercy, Is Boast
How will the German people
have to meet that? Will it, forsooth,
beg for mercy in fear and trembling? =?
No, gentlemen, remembering it's
great past and it's still greater mis-
sion in the future it will stand erect
and not cringe or grovel.
The situation is serious, but 1t
gives us no ground for deep depres-
sion. The iron wall of the western
front is not broken and the U-boat
is slowly but surely fulfilling its task
of diminishing tonnage, thus above
all increasingly menacing and re-
stricting reinforcements of men and

end of the war before half of the

Mrs Martin G.. Brumbaugh tele-
phoned that she would bring some of
the Governors clothing and some of
her own to be sent across the ocean.
II surely want to do all l can," she
told q Telegraph preventative.
The telephone at Red Cross head
quarters was kept busy all the day,
summoning motor messengers and
trucks to homes of contributors. In
many neighborhoods, woman
would volunteer to collect
clothing and several trucks were re-
quired to carry the great quantity
to headquarters. Incidentally it is
requested that anyone having cloth
ing to contribute should call Red
Cross headquarters, 1884 on the
Bell; or Mrs. William Strouse, 1903
on the Bell, and a truck will call. 1t
is also emphasized that clothing
should be ready when the trucks call
because if it is not ready a second
trip is necessary.
Mrs. Brumbaugh has made the
following appeal in behalf of the
children of Belgium:
The crying of the suffering chill
dren of Belgium for clothing should
touch the heart of every woman. All
garments not really needed now at
home should be given to the COM
mittee at once. I urge you to search
the garrets, bureaus, wardrobes and
other storage places with a generous
heart Give all you possibly can!
Even the mothers of the splendid
men in uniform might add by giving
the clothes of their loved ones. IT
would be fitting gift to the cause
they gave to so fully and freely.
Surely the women of America will
see to it that these poor sufferers
are made warm in the approaching
winter weathaer."

the price quoted for the mixture is
so cents per twelve-pound sack
Wheat flour is S5 cents per twelve
pound sack. Victory flour comes
usually in twelve-pound sacks.
Patriotic Necessity
The Food Administration of
Dauphin county is encouraging the
purchase of Victory flour by house
wives for two reasons. 1t complies
with the government wheat saving
program, by automatically insuring
the purchase of substitutes with
wheat.
1t saves labor for the retailers.
Clerks do not have to dip into bins
and weigh out substitutes when Vic
| tory flour is purchased, as they do
when they sell wheat flour. More
over it insures the use of the sub
stitutes, whereas householders who
purchase wheat flour often do not
make use of the substitutes. One
pound of cereal substitute must be
! sold with every four pounds of wheat
| flour.
| Retail grocers said to-day THAI
/ only a fourth as much Victory flour
as wheat flour is being purchased by
their customers. They say this is
because the customers have not been
educated to it's use, and when they
become accustomed to it, will pur-
chase it exclusively and relieve
themselves of the necessity of pur-
chasing and using substitutes sep
arately.
| Experienced bakers say the Vic
/ tory flour as mixed by experienced
bakers can be used for almost any
use as can the wheat flour with as
good results.
| Local millers manufacture Victory
flour Local wholesalers have it in
stock.
