Rockefeller and the Press

In a recent talk before an import
ant conference in New York John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., chairman for New
York of the United War Work cam
paign, outlined to about one hun
dred and fifty editors of trade news
papers the importance of their CO.
operation in the November drive
for S17O,0OO,000.
Mr. Rockefeller looks young. The
record shows him to be in his forty
fifth year. He could pass for thirty
five. He is utterly Democratic, ut
terly simple and earnest. He gave to
his hosts on this occasion, and to
their other guests the impression of
a man consecrated to the one pur-
pose of making this great war drive
a complete success-financially and
ethically. He demonstrated his broad
vision through an appeal for CO.
operation in the united drive on
straight patriotic lines. He called
for the elimination from this effort
of every evidence of religious divi-
sion among our people.
Mr.. Rockefeller took occasion to
relate his experience with an i'm
provised newspaper cabinet" on the
occasion of his personal investiga-
ton, some time ago, of industrial
conditions in Colorado. That ex-
perience, he confessed, had given
to him a new realization of the SER
vice-spirlt of the American newspa-
perman.
Il am Increasingly impressed" he
said. with the power of the press
in moulding public opinion. can
say. from my own experience and
observation. that almost always,
this power is exerted for better
ment."

How Can Germany Pay?

in France until every tree has been
restored.
Demand that German buildings of
appropriate character be torn down
and their stones and plumbing aud
their contents be transported TO
France until every house and every
household in France has been re-
stored.
Make German labor perform this
until it is completed, with provision
only for the essential food, lodging
and clothing.
In this way the destruction the
Hun has performed will be visited
upon him without further economic
loss and the lesson will be taught
in every German village from which
the trees and houses are selected
for deportation.
Any indemnities for. damage to
human life, such as are ordinarily
computed at the end of war, should
be entirely independent of this ply
sical reconstruction of Hun damage.
This would teach the real lesson
in the right way to the people of

VICTIMS OF BAD HOUSING

VTYHILE the influenza epidemic
wv has been no respecter of per-
sons and both rich and poor
have fallen before its ravages, the
State Health Departments obserya-
tions indicate that bad housing has
greatly Increased the sick and death
rates. Where the housing has been
unusually poor there the disease has
been at its worst. Nor is contagion
originating in slum districts con-
fined to the slums. 1t is like a snake
that winds its Shiny path from the
gutter to the palace, spreading its
poison as it goes.
In other words, we, all OF US, are
now paying for the crime of bad
housing. Not only are the poor people
who must live in the novels we
have permitted to be built and
rented in the community paying for
their insanitary surroundings in
sickness and death, but the germs
originating there spread to all parts
of the city. Never have we had
such an object lesson, but the ques-
ton arises. will we, as the epidemic
wanes, go back to our old ways or
will we begin the elimination of the
unfit house? The extent of the next
epidemic and the percentage of
deaths therefrom will depend upon
the answer.

SUNRISE IN BELGIUM
By BRIGGS

tFrom The Belfry of Bruges"l
In the market place of BrugeS stands
the belfry old and brown,
Thrice consumed and thrice rebuild
ed, still it watches DER the town.
AS the summer morn was breaking,
on that lofty tower l stood,
And the world threw off its darkness,
like the weeds of widowhood.
Not a sound rose from the city at
that early morning hour,
But l heard a heart of iron beating
in the ancient tower.
1 beheld the Flemish weavers, with
Namur and Juliers bold.
Marching homeward from the bloody
battle of the Spurs of Gold.
Saw the fight at Minnewater saw the
White Hoods moving west,
Saw the great Artevelde victorious
scale the Golden Dragons Nest.
And again the whiskered Spaniard
all the land with terror smote;
And again the wild alarum sounded
from the tocsin's throat;
Till the bell of Client responded DER
lagoon and dixie of sand;
IT am Roland! l am Rolandi there
is victory in the land!"
Then the sound of drums aroused me.
The awakened city's roar
Chased the phantoms l had sum-
moned back into their graves
once more.
Hours had passed away like minutes;
and before / was aware,
Lo! the shadow of the belfry crossed
the sun illumined square.

NOT FOOLED BY NOISE

"HERE are still those who be e
lieve that the prohibition cause
in Pennsylvania has been some
what damaged by the closing Of the
drinking places during the prevail
Ing epidemic. This belief is based
on the assumption that many per-
sons resent tho increased cost of
medicinal conoootions. especially
whisky, and may emphasize their
disapprovaI by voting against the
candidates who favor the prohibi-
ton amendment 10 tho constitution.
No consideration is given, however,

first week of the enforced "dry''

600 tons of the 10000 mark, this
record beating the previous high

5000 tons, and in the midst of a

through the enforcement of the

As a result Of these significant
and impressive figures the field rep=
resentatives of the fuel administra=
tion have been instructed to anaiyge
conditions critically, with a view to
making a complete and reliable re-
port on the effects Of the health de-

sire to wreak equivalent vengeance

THE STATE CAMPAIGN
[The Pittsburgh Gazette-Timesl

lIne PlttsDurgh GaZette-IlmeSJ
Now the influenza epidemic pre-
vents the intensive campaign which
had been planned for the last two
weeks of the prediction season.
Public gatherings are forbidden.
There will be no spellbinding, no
parades, none of the usual manifes-
tations incident to a political can
vass. But the people must not for
get the election. Before them are
reared two prospects. Either they
will flock to the polls and perform
the duty of citizenship on November
by voting in accordance with their
principles or they will stay away and
make a mockery of the same. For
Pennsylvanians the issue is clearly
defined. Will you have good govern
ment or will you have bad? Sena-
tor William c. Sproul, Republican
nominee for Governor; Senator Ed
ward e. Beidleman, for Lieutenant
Governor, and Representative James
f. Woodward, for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, stand for good gov
ernment. Senator Sprouts platform,
with which all should be familiar
makes plain his high purpose, his
splendid equipment, his intelligent
comprehension of public questions
and necessities, and displays the
lofty ideals of the patriotic citizen
that commend his candidacy to the
thoughtful and solicitous for the ac-
complishment of the best in public
service. With thesdA Athree gentlemen
of large eXperienceN safely elected,
Pennsylvanians may feel that their
state is entering upon a better era,
and they may be proud that other
peoples soon to be freed can find
here a demonstration of the bless
ings of popular government which
will inspire them to higher endeav-
ors. If we fail on November we
shall have done much to negative

are so unsnlfishlN sIriuinn

essary to bring the Kaiser to his
knees.
Forward with the war, then. Let
us at home emulate the soldiers in
the field, who are throwing back the
enemy on every front with one
thought, and one only, in their minds
to beat Germany by force of arms.
There is a task for each one of us.
Unquestionably, the prolonged peace
talk has slowed up war work in some

When the ColorS Went By

The great outpouring of French
sentiment for Americans is de-
scribed by Lieutenant Frank o. Brig
ham of the air service, whose home
is in Oakland, Cal. He writes to his
father, F. Z. Brigham, and his letter
is reprinted by the Literary Digest:
was in Paris July IA. 1t was a
wonderful day in every way. The
early morning was very dull and
gray, but by the time the parade was
started there was not a cloud in the
sky. never expect to see another
spectacle like it unless 1 am for
tunate enough to see an Allied en-
try into Berlin. Half the world
yes, more than that-was represent
ed in line and represented by the
best that each nation could bring
forward. AS the colors of each ma
tion went by, Paris seemed to get
more and more excited until l be-
lieve that they had reached the abb
solute. heights Of enthusiasm.
English, Belgian, Italian, all of
them took the city by storm, but
away off down the line l heard a
! hum that steadily grew louder and
sounded above all the rest of the
/ noise, hum that somehow or other
| got inside of me and made me stand
a little straighter and then about a
! block away 1 saw flash of color, and
oh! how wonderful it looked to me
flor the color resolved itself into the
'Colors;" and then, my dear people
l thought the heavens had broken
loose. l have never in my life heard
such an outburst of noise. 1t was not
the high shouting that one usually
hears. but roar that started away
down and gradually increased until
when it broke the very windows rat
tied. 1t sounded like the organized
yell of a million rooters, and then
| just as quickly as it had started it
! died down, and amid an absolute
silence and with every civilian hat
off, every man in uniform, at a stiff
salute, the colors of the United
States of America went by.

ity. Judge Bonniwell and those
who pretend TO believe he represents
the personal liberty rights of our
citizens are claiming a wonderful
impetus for his campaign on the
wet platform, but the Telegraph
makes this prediction-that Senator
Sprouts majority in Pennsylvania
for Governor will be larger than the
total of the Bonniwell vote.
We shall not be greatly surprised
to see some peculiar voting at the
November election on the prohibi-
tion issue. Scores and hundreds of
men who personally take a drink
or leave it alone" will cast their bal
lots on the side of prohibition. It
is not only moral issue; it is an
economic proposition and as such
will be given the serious considera-
ton of thousands of thoughtful
people. Also, those who count on
the workingmen of Pennsylvania lin
ing up behind John Barleycorn are
headed for a big surprise. This
problem is not one that can be
differentiated as to classes of So
ciety. Men and women have learned
that the drink evil has touched every

GFrom the Wilkes-Barre Record
There is no doubt in the minds
of the great majority of voters as
to the fitness of the two candidates
for Governor. Mr.. Sproul is so far
above his Democratic opponent in
general equipment for this high Of
flee that we may have entire con-
fidence that his election would mean
intelligent and fair and square deal
ing with the weighty after-the-
war problems that will concern the
people of this Commonwealth. Mr..
Sproul is one of the most promi-
nent businessmen of the state and
a man of sterling judgment. The
only element of concern is that he
may be defeated by overconfidence
on the part of his friends.

ON WITH THE WAR

TINE Kaiser and his lieutenlnts,
= who have been hiding behind
the mask of a proposed popular gov
ernment, will derive little satisfac-
ton from President Wilson's latest
note. They must Internationally
surrender or the emperor must abdi-
cate in favor of a ruler to be chosen
by the voice of the people. In any
event, the German military clique
is to be crushed out OF existence, and
its power to again turn hell loose
upon the earth is to be taken away.
The import of the Presidents lat
est message is unconditional sur
render" for it is difficult to be-
lieve that the Hohenzollerns and the
Junkers will retire while their
armies are intact. though battered,
and they are still in power at home.
The Presidents latest note leaves
little to be desired, although it is
disappointing to those who believe
he should have summed up his
thought in the two words. "uncondi-
tional surrender" 1t is at once a
notification that the Allies do not
mean to be drawn into the folly Of
a negotiated peace with the Hohen-
zollerns and a bid fer revolution in
Germany. The only way the Ger.
man people can have a place at the
peace table is by turning out the
beasts who have made the war pos
sible.
The President frankly says he
knows he is dealing with a band OF
liars whose word is not to be trusted
and that he does not mean to be
caught by the vague promises OF
those who regard solemnly-enacted
international treaties as so many
scraps of paper" lie is willing that
there should be an armistice, but
the armistice must be left to Foch
Haig. Pershing aud Diaz. and is to
be of such character as would guar.
antee the military supremacy of the
Allies. It is not difficult to imagine
Foch's terms-the laying down oi
German rifles, the surrender of Ger
man cannon ard the occupation OF
German strongholds by Allied troops
This would amount to that "uncon-
| ditional surrender which the Allied
world is demanding.
Many will differ with the Presi-
dent in his bid for popular govern
ment in Germany, feeling that we
should leave hands off there. But
others will see in this part of the
note an effort merely to split the
liberals from the milltarists in the
empire and thus increase dissension,
On this score. the speech OF
Prince Max in the neichstnE yes
terday, yague and rambling as a
iG for the most part, makes cIenr
that Germany Is not yet ready to ac.
eept a peace OF the kind outlined by
the President. Therefore, the war
must be continued. 1t will not end
this year. The probabilities are that
unless Germany breaks from within
during the rigors of the winter or
by internal disagreements much
more serious at the moment than
can be seen frem this distance, a Wig.
