Advertising Pays

Advertising is not a luxury in
which pride-puffed manufacturers
indulge themselves, but is a force
which has been responsible for
American prosperity, declared Jesse
H. Neal ,an advertising man of New
York City, in the course of a Con-
gressional hearing, with reference to
the new postal zone rate law.
More than any other one force"
he said. modern advertising is re-
sponsible for the prosperity of Unit
ed States industry. The great ma
jority of our improved manufactur-
ing, selling and distribution methods
have been the outgrowth of adver-
tising; advertising which has
scrapped obsolete machinery; adver-
tising which has standardized pro-
ductton operations; advertising
which has made better merchants
and distributors; advertising which
has provided consumer Earkets at
a minimum of cost.
"All of this has enabled quantity
production, by economical processes,
and has enabled us to pay higher
wages than any other country and
yet to be able to compete in the
markets of the world. with the low
paid and oppressed workmen of less
progressive countries"

Democratic ENHANCEMENT
tWilkes-Barre Recordl

If ever worse situation was de-
veloped in politics than that of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania at
present, it is not within memory. The
candidate for Governor repudiates
the dominant organization and the
organization repudiates the candi-
date for Governor. And it is only a
few years since the organization
emerged from nothingness and pre-
sumed to map out the destiny of the
unterrified host for generations to
come. Was 1t not Messrs. Palmer
and Mccormick who informed the
people of the grand old Common
wealth that they were going to clean
up everything in sight and lead eight
million people out of the wilderness
of graft, corruption, betrayal and
infamy that for so many years had
made the name of the state a word
of contempt and humiliation? Was
it not they who were going to res
cue all of us from the slavery of the
worst political autocrats the world
had ever seen or endured? Alas!
how often are good intentions crush
ed under the juggernaut of vicious
ness! Judge Bonniwell is the miser-
able old juggernaut, oiled and
creased and ready for action. and by
whom? BY a majority of the Demo-
cratic voters who turned out on last
primary day. They declared that he
should be the party candidate for
Governor and under the law their
will is to be respected.
Liquor or anti-liquor 1t would be
all the same. The Judge is not of
the caste and it is decreed by the
reformers and reorganizers that he
shall not be elected. The issue is
between the leaders in the Palmer
Mccormick camp and the majority
voters who registered their will at
the primaries, The fight is entirely
within the Democratic party and
there the mess will remain, growing
mare nauseating as election day ap-
proaches.

They Hated to Hear of Hatred

imperfections in the British charac-
ter. But hate the English? hate any
body? Never! 1t was a general, all
embracing love that was expressed
when Germans drank to the Day"
as had been their pleasant custom
for many year, and when the
Day" did come at last, with what
suavity did they notify all and SUM-
dry, and especially the dear Bel
gians, that it had arrived
1t is no wonder that the Kaiser
can hardly endure the thought that
there are people in the world who
hate-no wonder that the Essen folk
turn pale under their honest CRIME
when they hear from the Infallible
One that such folk are opposing his
beneticent plans and are showing a
strong inclination to carry the war
out of France, where it belongs, into
Germany, where it ought never to
be. The Germans don't want to he
hated-they know of no reason why
anybody should hate them. Hatred
is hateful. Directed against Germans
it is nothing less than fiendish, and
it must have been from their sincere
appreciation of these truths that,
waiting only till the Kaiser was out
of sight, large number of those
whose applause he had so well
earned by his condemnation of hate
went on a strike for more pay and
little something to eat.

struggle he was urging his country
men to prepare for tho crushing of
the German menace. More and
moro he is being regarded as the
foremost leader of his day and what
ever of prestige he may have lost as
a party man in the contest of 1912
has been more than recovered
through his constructive patriotism
in the last year.
Men OF all parties now pay tribute
to his greatness. to his remarkable
vision and his sturdy Americanism.
All sympathize with him In the loss
of a brave son, but they do more
than that; they recognize his use-
fulness and the strength of his char
acter and the force of his leadership
in this crisis OF the nation.
He is a great. outstanding figure
among the American leaders to-day
and his place in the hearts of his
countrymen becomes larger and
larger as the forces which are being
directed to overthrow the Beast OF
Europe become understood.

Miners, Stick to Your Work

Miners who desert their jobs are
in the same category as the Bridge
port strikers whom President Will
son read out of the ranks of loyal
workmen. If injustice is done them.
it can be corrected. The Govern
ment has established means of me-
diation that have the approval of the
great majority of people. The men
on the War Labor Board are above
suspicion. The fuel administrator
has this great agency at his back
and justice will be done to every
branch of mining.
The public at times sympathiZes
with strikers, but not now. These
times are different. The salvation of
the nation depends upon loyalty in
industry as we'll as upon loyalty upon
the battlefield and there can be no
compromise with stubbornness. The
miner who ahsents himself from his
work while the war is on can ex-
pect no public support. He cannot
be regarded otherwise than as a
downright Stacker. = Wilkes-Barre
Record.

SONG OF THE GUNS

This is the song that our guns keep
singing,
Here where the dark steel shines;
This is the 2ong with their big shells
winging
Over the German lines
I'VE are taking you home by the
shortest way,
We are taking you out of this
blood and slime
To the land you left in an ancient
day,
Where lost lanes wander at twi-
light times
We are bringing you peace
In the swift release
From the grind where the gas
drifts blur
On a steel shoG track
We are taking you back.
We are taking you back to Herr
This is the song that our guns keep
roaring
Out through the night and rain;
This is the song with their big shells
soaring
over the battered plain
I'VE are taking you home by the
only way,
back
To the dreams you left where the
dusk was gray
And the night wind sang long
lost track;
We are bringing you rest
From the hitter test,
From the pits where the great shells
whir;
Through the blood loan
We are taking you home,
We are taking you home to Her!"
The Stars and Stripes, France.

UNITING ON SPROUL

"HE temperance forces of Penn
sylvania are very properly unit
- ed on Senator Sproul for Govern
or. His Endorsement by the Anti-Sa-
loon League takes to his support a
non-partisan organization made up of
voters of all parties and churches
that favor the enactment of legisla-
ton designed to stamp out legalized
traffic in liquor. With Bonniwell
boasting of his affiliations with the
booze element of the State and
basing his candidacy on his opposi-
ton to the adoption of the national
prohibition amendment, there was
really nothing left for sincere friends
of anti-Hquor legislation to do eX-
cept to get behind the Republican
candidate.
Senator Sprouts declaration is
strong and comprehensive. He says:
I favor the prohibitory amend
ment TO the Federal Constitution,
and if l am elected Governor
shall, as a patriotic duty, use my
best efforts 10 secure its ratifica-
tion by Pennsylvania and the
passage of such legislation as
may be needed to make il effec-
|. tive. Such legislation l will glady
approve and fully enforce.
No honest thinking friend of pro-
hibition could ask for more. Every
body knows that the Prohibition
party's candidate stands absolutely
no show. To work and vote for him
! is effort entirely wasted. Even
those who are closest TO him know
that. The one candidate for Govern
or who favors prohibition and who
stands any show of election in No.
vember is Senator Sproul. All sincere
advocates Of the adoption of the fed
eral amendment will vote for him
Any diversion from the main issue
of getting this amendment through
the Legislature is of secondary i'm
portance and designed to detract
votes from the main issue.

RIFLE CLUB BENEFITS

TLSEWHERE to-day the Tele-
~ graph publishes a letter from
Fred A. Godcharles, telling of
the good work the Harrisburg rifle
team is doing in the national shoot
at Camp Perry, Ohio. Workmanship
counts just as much in this war as
in any other and the encoura cement
the Government is giving to, rife
clubs is money well spent. All pros
pective soldiers should take advan-
.age of the opportunity offered
But it is incomprehensible that
any citizen should believe he will be
called more speedily for military
service If he is an expert rineman
than if he is unacquainted with the
use of military weapons. but that
such an impression is not infrequent-
ly encountered is evident from the
testimony of many civilian rife club
members. who have met such an at
titude when urging upon citizens the
advisability of joining rife club.
The truth of the matter is that the
Government takes no special heed
of a recruits rife qualifications when
men are called to service. In fact
the system of training at the canton
ments presumes that the citizen is
unframed in the use of arms. Oc-
casionally, when there is work to be
done which requires a special pro-
ficiency in craftsmanship, an effort

GERMANY'S PEACE DRIVE
kansas City Starl

ndASdS lily SldTI
The expected peace drive has be-
gun. With German reserves depict
ed, with Foch delivering terrific
blows, with the American Army
flooding in, with its quality just dra-
matically demonstrated in the bril-
liant victor of S. Mihiel, with the
U-boats failing, the Central Powers
are looking for peace.
They will look in vain. Every
peace hint that has come from Ger
man officials or German newspapers
is based on negotiations for the
western frontier, but with the con-
quests on the east made secure.
There is no sign of a change of
heart. The masters of the Central
Powers believe their bag of sixty
million Russians to make more can
non fodder for the next year. is suf-
ficient victory. 1t would be the part
of smart traders to take what they
have now, lest they lose all by wait
ing.
We know what Germany is. We
know its unscrupulousness, its per-
fidy. We know what 1t promised
Russia in the way of peace, and we
know how it performed.
With the present masters of Ger
many the world can have no deal
ings except from the cannon s
mouth. They have forfeited the
confidence of mankind. There is no
use wasting time with them. From
their spokesman at. the opening OF
the war, when Germany violated its
treaty to invade Belgium. we have
their maxims: Necessity knows no
law" Would you fight for a treaty,
mere scrap of paper?"
We can trust to nothing they say,
for they may repudiate it the next
day. The only security for the world
against another outbreak of this
mad lust for world domination is to
inf1ict overwhelming defeat on Ger
many to break its evil power.
If all this sacrifice shall not have
been in vain, we will treat only with
beaten and humbled Germany;
only with a Germany that has finally
learned the lesson that the way of
the transgressor is hard.
The Austrian offer-made, of
course, at the instigation of its Ger
man master-indicate that the war
| lords have begun to see the writing
on the wall. But there is no sal
walton for them. Now, thank God,
they can read only their doom.

EMPEROR WILLIAM, man of
T. delicate sensiblities that he is,
could not restrain his emotions
while he Mortified the gentle expo
nents of Teutonic virtues who work
in the Krupp factories by telling
them that the minds of Germany's
enemies We're filled with hatred. His
voice trembled as he said it, and his
hearers shrank, as we'll they might,
from the picture he painted of whole
nations harboring this most vicious
of human sentiments.
A few of them may have a haunt
ing memory of a certain "Hassge-
sang" that had a wide vogue some
time ago-almost at the very begin
ming of the war, in fact-but, of
course, that song was written by i
wicked Englishman. if it wasn't by
a hardly less wicked Frenchman or
American or Italian, and even then
the good Germans suffered cruelty
from the knowledge that there were
people in the world of instincts so
base and of culture so low as to take
pleasure in singing a song inspired
by such a feeling.
Germans, If hard pressed, might
have confessed at that time to a
slight dislike for the British. The
German professors and pastors. in
their mild way. called attention to
what they couldn't help considering

u
w realization thai the general
primary scheme is a delusion
and snare Ex-President william
Howard Taft has emphasized in his
usual convincing way what this
newspaper and others have frequent
" urged. that the general primary
has resulted IN party disorganization
and the elimination Of personal in
terest in government among the
voters II was recently stated that
almost 1900 voters in a certain
important State had refrained from
participating in the primary election
We know here in Harrisburg and
Dauphin county how things work,
and Mr.. Taft believes the evils of
the old convention system, which
might easily have been remedied by
law, did not apprach in any degree
the shortcomings Of the primary as
at present conducted
Under the old convention plan
men of all parties took an active in
terest in the campaign and with few
exceptions the nominees were accept
able TO the people. Indeed. there
were fewer nisfts under that system
than has been the case since the in
novation of the so-called popular
primary.
We have been getting farther and
farther away from the old land
marks and institutions upon which
the progress and prosperity of the
country have rested. Let us get back
to them as soon as possible. Let US
drop the "isms" and so-called up
lifting reforms and return to the
fundamental things which make for
widespread interest in our institu-
tions and a greater force by the in
dividual in the conduct of public af-
fairs.
When Secretary .McAdoo issued his
edict against railroaders becoming
candidates for Office or participating
in political contests he dealt popu-
lar government a blow from which
it will be long in recovering unless
the people at once repudiate his au-
tocratic decree. Railroad men and
all other men have as good a right
TO offer themselves for the public
service as those who presume to
create a class of officeholders of theil
own make.
Americans are willing to submit tc
many things which are contrary tc
their ideas OF popular government al
the present time, but the day must
come when they will insist upon q
return to a more reasonable gov.
ernment and a conservation Of the
right OF parties and individuals.

is made to obtain the services of
mon qualified fer the task in hand,
yet the average rifieman is no more
liable for military service than is
the totally unframed man-all other
matters being equal.
There is no gainsaying. however.
that the citizen who learns to shoot
before he reports to the cantonment
is rendering patriotic service to'the
Government. Before he reaches the
Western Front every man must know
how to shoot. If he will discount
the long period of training neces-
sary to educate an untutored man
after he reaches camp by learning
to shoot OF his own volition. he will
have materially aided in the task of
developing himself into a trained
fighter.
And, finally, thsre is another point
which no citizen should overlook and
one which cannot be too strongly
emphasized, since 1t has a direct and
personal bearing upon every man
who may be called upon to serve.
Every man who is drafted instinct
lively begins to count what remains
of his life by that time when the
war is over" He feels that he is
going to be one of those who come
back, because he wants to believe
that he will escape. Yet the man
who deliberately, neglects to protect
himself in every possible way for
the task before him n lessening his
chances of returning by the same
ratio that he fails to prepare himself
to meet the hazards of the battle
field.

Among the host of deserved con-
