Beidleman Displays Strength

, bcluIeman DlSplayS Stfength
Yesterdays returns are indicative
of Senator Beidleman's personal
strength in his home community
as he had not only to contend against
men aligned by the state administra-
ton, but rivals for control of the
local Republican organiza ton. Lined
up against him in a prominent way
were George McIlhenny, former
deputy sheriff, and Mayor Daniel L
Keister. McIlhenny was defeated
for county committee in his nome
district for the first time in his
political career.
Senator Sproul, like Mr.. Beidle-
man was conf onted in Dauphiu
county with the full force of the
state administration and his easy
victory over Mr.. 'O'Neil in this county
is taken not only as a sign of his
support by the Beidleman organiza-
ton, but of his own personal popu-
larity because of the fact that in a
number of districts he led even the
local candidate by substantial fig
ures.
AS compared with the size of the
Republican vote the Democrats of
Dauphin county made a pitiful show
ing considering all the noise that
has been made. Guffey carried the
county by less than 1900, his total
vote running very little over $500
while Boutwell, polled about 1000
votes. The total Democratic strength
in the primary yesterday after all
districts are in it is believed will
run considerably under 1000.
Senator Beidleman heard the re-
turns at the Republican state head
quarters in Philadelphia. He re-
mained in Philadelphia to-day, but
kilograms received by friends here
were to the effect that Philadelphia
figured his nomination by from
10000 to 10000.

Unless you are sure that your doctor

clan or midwife in attendance to use
a preventive of eye inflammation (sil-

may need explanation.
From one-fourth to one-third OF all

Through Education.)
Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, l was more convinced than of
anything else In life that what is be-
ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us-more, oh, so much more,
than money or legal rights or sym
pathy for bleeding humanity Not
that | am especially apprehensive Of
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling of our skyscrapers, with the ex-
action of colossal indemnities That,
too, of course, might happen if Ger
man arms were triumphant. If the
pax Germanica were imposed upon q
beaten world.
But that is not to me the worst. TO
me the German peril does not lie so
much in her big guns, her submarines,
her "Prusslanized war machine" It
lies in herself, in her image of the
world. II Germany could win even a
partial victory under her monstrous
creed of applied materialism, illuminate
cd as 1t has been by every sort of Gym
ical crime, with It's reasoned defiance
Of contract, its principle Of 'indispensa-
Bile seventies" its military logic, etc,
THAT must become the moral law OF
all the world-the jungle law! In or
der to survive we must all accept this
law of the jungle. And Of all the
PROSTATE peoples of the world forced
to accept the victor's new version OF
the ancient COMMANDMENTS proud
America would be the first. We cam
not resist the fascination of success.
So the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger~
man morality-one rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when we get togeth-
err as a statezwould be inflated By
us more than the German thorough
ness In civil and military organization.

Many occasions arise when 1t be-
comes vitality important to be able to
prove an individuals age. II the pa
rents or the physician in attendance at
birth have complied with the law by
filing a birth certificate, there il no
difficulty in proving age II this duty
has been neglected. then 1t becomes
very difficult indeed to establish be-

This is but one of several important
reasons which will occur to the
thoughtful reader why the law requir.

should be carefully complied with.

birth of each child in the state be re-

duty of every citizen to see that this
law is complied with. but it is due the
child. Each day requests are made OF
the State Board of Health to furnis..
copies of birth certificates of persons
who have enlisted in the army or navy.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics was es

eminent 1t is duty we owe to fut-
ure generations that the birth Of all
children be recorded. The record of a

settlement Of estates and in proving
citizenship.
Do you know your local registrar? In
each voting precinct of the state a re-
sponsible person has been appointed
to whom birth report should be made
within ten days after the birth. The
law requires the physician, or mid.

of the birth of the child within ten
days thereafter While it is the duty

A German victory--or an incOnclu-

Germany for the good of the world

taught In her universities as philoso-
ply and In her pulpits as religion.
The German nation unquestioningly
acceptS'it and intends to force the rest
of the world to accept it. This they
cali "kultur," which they claim is
above morality, reason and science. ;"
Kultur teaches that there is only
one sort of right--that of the stronger
1t argues with specious profundity
that In the relations Of nations with
one another there can be no such thing
as truth or honor. Frederick the Great
taught that the Germans must make 1t
their "study to deceive others in or
der to get the better Of them" Fred
erick William w. 20 years ago said
that all written constitutions were
only scraps of paper. and Beth
mann Hollweg in 1914 referred to The
Hague convention in the identical
words. The "scrap of paper idea is
an old one in German diplomacy.
The Germans believe themselves to

shed and cruelty. II am his sword,

zollern. "Let all the enemies of the
German people perish! God demands
their Decentralization, who by my
mouth bids you do his will !"
To accomplish this "divine" will the
German military authorities believe
that any means are justifiable--tfe

civilians with machine guns the cut

of Budonwiller did away with four
women and seven young girls in five
minutes. The captain had told me to
shoot these French sows, but I pre-

This is the concrete result of what
the Germans call 1.-THE Religion of
valor" and "The Gospel of Hate"
Says one of their spokesman: Must
Kultur build its cathedrals on hills of

If Germany wins the war the Unit
