The patriotic action of Governor
Sleeper in asking for political truce
during the period of the Liberty Loan
campaign is expected to have a tre-
mendous effect in centralizing the eff
forts of the people towards making
the loan a quick success.
In his announcement the governor
said in part: "I would suggest that
both political parties declare a truce
from the date the Liberty Loan drive
starts, September 2Sth, until the
campaign is closed. Politics should
really be adjourned, while we are
drafting our dollars for Uncle Sam.
While the Liberty Loan campaign is
in progress, l want my republican
friends to remember that it is more
important that we win this war and
win it with honor, than that any par

creases in costs of materials and
labor for repairs. and tax raises.
A striking feature of the entire
meeting was the statement by Mr..
Miller that the reason for the pres
ent situation in Harrisburg is that a
few years ago men who had money
for investment thought the real es-
tato market was not as good as
other places and did not build
houses. He also declared that the
shortage in the city is bound 90 in
crease rents and will eventually re-
SUIT in the erection of more houses
for residential use. President Gipple
also mentioned the serious housing
conditions which may develop.
Letters From Tenants Read
Mayor Keister attended the meet
ing and remained until the board had
taken action on the disposition of
the numerous complaints which he
had received. Letters trom tenants
were read and the charges dis
cussed by all the members. One of
the dealers who had. been mentioned
by some of the tenants was called
upon 10 present his side OF the case.
He explained the conditions existing
at the places in question, told of the
labor and material costs fo= repairs,
and denied the charge that he rem

tempt to take advantage OF residents

NesuSattons whenever such cases
were called to his notice. His state
ment was sanctioned by the mem
bers.
That the tax Increases by the city
and county and the revision of as
sessments is not concerning the
reaitor as much as the present cost

marks last night. Many of the mem

of the dealers said they had been
compelled to advance the rents, as
some OF the owners requested il.
They also said in every case, with
but one or two exceptions. the ten
ants made no complaints and were
stu occupying the properties.
The members also approved the
suggestion that advances should not
be made unless absolutely necessary
when houses were occupied by wild
ows or by families OF men in Army
service.
Bad tenants who do not take care
of houses also came in for share
o. the discussion. Mr.. Miller stating
that the percentage of good tenants
~ about ninety, while the other ten
per cent. cause much trouble for the
property owners. He also said that
from discussions with other dealers
and his own observation of building
conditions in the country Ii would
cost at the present time from $4,000
a few years ago could have been
erected for $4,000. 1t was at this
point that he criticised the men who
failed to invest money in lots and
build homes, but predicted the short
age would be almost certain to bring
about more building in the fu-are.
President Gipple was called upon
at the close of the meeting tc speak.
He declared there was less pro1teer-
ing in the real estate and rental
business than in any other commodi-
ty. He suggested a comparison of
prices in proof of the staten ami
said he agreed with statements made
by many of the members. He ad-
vised a careful investigation of the
question and said ne felt sure every
member of the board Intended TO be
absolutely fair and would be glad to
cooperate in any manner possible
with their tenants.
One of the problems confronting
some of the men is how TO handle
offers from persons who say they
will pay a higher rental than is be-
ing charged for a dwelling in order
to get possession of it. The dealers
who spoke of this phase of the bvsi-
ness said they inva-i lhly refused
such offers in fairness to the persons
occupying the properties.
The complaints which have been
received will be invest; gated by tine
special committee and its report Will
os read and acted upon at the next
Meeting of the board.

The Irish Question

The Irish question, always perplexing one was never serious it is at the present tme and the not least serious feature it is that the time has come when it must be solved. In the past Great Britain has always found relief in delay for which there has always been pretext another Of late the Irish themselves have afforded the pretext But it is essential to the government that there shall be delay.
 The question involves three propositions, the first contained in the pending bill home rule and scrption hand hand. effected by the same legis- lative stroke The second proposed by the old home rulers home rule without conscrption leaving it an Irish parliament adopt conscripton measure. The third proposition home rule with or with out conscription, though of it's proponents not averse conscrption if imposed by the govern ment of Great Britain.
 The government might find the easiest way out by adopting the second proposition if it could be assured that Irish parliament would adopt con- scription. But the enforcement of conscription adopted would almost certainly produce Irish in which the north would be arrayed against the south, and the latter might be expected not to support sodly the enforcement of conscripton Home rule itself would, if not coupled with conscrp ton violent division the island. Little less than general Irish revolution might be expected to attend an enforcement of conscription under an act of the imperial government.
 It seems to that in discussions in parliament of the pending bi too great stress is laid upon Ameri public sentiment; there is too great deference something that exists in much less degree than is supposed. It is true that there has always been a strong sentiment in America home rule Ireland and it has not been confined to Irish Americans Four years ago cabinet officer publicly advocated it. But the great of the American people, though friend ly to home rule for Ireland only mildly passively concerned in Irish affairs.
 Of late many Americans have found something inconsistent in the condition of Ireland, and Great Britans concern for the small nations of the world. In other circumstances the of Americans might find injustice in enforcing conscription in Ireland when coupled with home rule, but the present circumstances, in of conscrption in this country, in which all of but the pacifists are in accord could not object to conscription anywhere in territory under the dominion of the allies.
 Ireland itself would suffer equally with England, Scotland, France and America if the ultimate man. power is not brought into the It is reands war and thousands of her noble taking part in it. It is not Engands alone in any that it is not Frances alone Americas war alone
 The complexity of the problem will not this time excuse the British government for failure solve it. As in the choice in The Lady or the Tiger" one door or the other must be opened.

The Argument of Shame

stirring article by Julian Street in Golfers of this week should measurably increase subscriptions the Liberty Loan No doubt many people we should be pleased to say most Americans are susceptible to appeals to their patriotism But we do not know whether that is not; perhaps majority of Americans not patriotic Certainly many are not. and it is to them Mir Street appeas-with the finger of shame. They be reached in no other way
 Mir. Street takes a fall out of that inane express sion, do your bit" with which have lately all become nauseated by it's parrot repetition and closer study its meaning. It is meant to include much or little and does necessarily involve the idea of riflce The purchase of 25-cent thrift stamp is 'doing your bit" To stand the street corner and kaiser; upon beauty of liberty and the majesty of democracy; to fly cheap Ameri- can flag from window of your home is to do your bit" and it is in these only that thousands of Americans are helping to win the war"
 The most that any do with his money however much it be- Mir Street says, is poor and mean performance compared with that of the Ameri- can soldier who has risKed all for his country He has given perhaps, lucrative position he has separ- ated himself from his sweetheart and his family. There are two things that await him. One is death for his country, and if he misses that the other is his return home to begin his life again. handi- capped by some additional years by constitution weakened by exposure and hardship. He can hardly begin where he left off go war; but at some point back of that
 In contrast to his we have that of the man who remains at home in ease safety and amid in creasing profits; he is materially advancing thanks to the opportunities the afforded those who remain at home. He may have bought some Liberty bonds but that entailed sacrifice They pay him good rate of interest and they will value That has been his Dit his only Dit and it has paid him to do it. If he has bought fewer bonds than he could have bought; if his loan to the government has been without sacrifice self denial he has done less even than meager, measly bit" and he should be ashamed of. himself a stacker and coward. He Is traitor only in degree removed from the active pro-German. He has put his own selfish Interest above the interest of his country He should be ashamed to meet the American boys when they return from France
 Golfers claims we believe, to have 100000 sub scribers That ought mean 10 900 readers Among them we roughly estimate that there are some millions of the kind at whom Street is pointing the finger of shame. If they not wholly hardened to shame there will be from them such an outpouring of subscriptions to the third Liberty loan as all the lorations on Liberty. Freedom and Democracy which have been poured out within the year. could not excite.
