this year. He has taken. from the
outset, an unequivocal position on
this vital issue and steadily grows in
favor with voters of all parties as a
result of his manly determination to
do his utmost to settle in the right
way the liquor problem that has
been the football of politics for so
many years.
The four Republican nominees for
the Legislature in Dauphin are also
out of step with the party's candi-
dates in other Central Pennsylvania
districts on this question and with
no Justification that anybody can
see. Theresis still time for them to
declare themselves openly and above
board. Scores of stalwart Republi-
cans who want to vote their ticket
straight would hail with delight such
an announcement even at this late
day. Friends of the Republican
candidates recognize their general
fitness for service in the House and
are hopeful that they will not risk
the loss of many votes by failing to
take an affirmative position in this
matter.

RED CROSS WORK
AZ Editor ~ the TeIegrafh:

o FHe EdltoT oI "t 1ett6fNI"'a
The Harrisburg chapter of the
Red Cross has made for itself an
enviable reputation through its
wonderful accomplishment, its, un-
firing energy, its devotion to all pa
triotic and philanthropic measures;
notwithstanding the immense vol
ume of work necessitated by the de-
mands of the great worlds war, they
are always ready and quick to lend
invaluable aid to any emergency
which may arise, such as the preVar
lent influenza epidemic brought
about. Their case of the sick and
supplying all necessities of any ma
ture within their power is most high
ly commendable and worthy of every
recognition pssible Therefore when
they espouse the cause of so many
small children bereft of father or or
both parents, one of the noblest acts,
and appeal for a goal of twenty-five
hundred dollars, it is to be regretted
that more responses are not made
1t only means an amount less than
twenty-five cents from each family
in Harrisburg. Through your good
offices can you not bring 1t more
prominently before the people, so as
there will be a more liberal response
thereby upholding the ministering
angels of the Red Cross in this, the
additional philanthropic burden they
have assumed, as success lightens the
burden of those engaged in such
meritorious work.

RIGHT. MIR. HAYS

RESIDENT WILSON, in his as
- +ontshing plea for a Democratic
= Congress, invited a sharp reply
from National Chairman Hays, OF
the Republican party, and he got IT,
He has nobody to thank but NM
,seff if he feels humiliated by the Wig
orous manner in which Mr.. Hays
tells the country why the Repuo-
Iycans of the nation fear the election
of a Democratic House and Senate
during the interval of peace making
and the reconstruction period TO
follow.
It is true, as Mr.. Hays says, that a
very large proportion of the people
of the United States view with ap-
prehension the long drawn out in
terchange of notes between the
President and the Kaiser's govern
ment. From too proud to fight to
make the world safe for democ-
racy" was such a long step and such
a reversal of opinion that it is no
wonder there arises in the mind OF
the thoughtful man a fear that the
President may again reverse him
self in his attitude toward the war.
A few weeks ago not even the most
radical Republican would have
voiced this fear, which has been
lingering in the hearts of millions,
but Mr.. Wilson himself has forced
the issue and he himself is respon-
sible if Republicans speak plainly
and make public their reasons for
demanding the return of a Repub-
lican Congress.
There is also the desire among
Republicans to haVe a strong voice
in the shaping of our reconstruction
policies. The prosperity of the coun-
try for the coming decade hinges
upon the views of the next Congress.
1t must not be the tool of any man.
1t should be free to express its own
views and to force their considera-
ton upon the executive. AS for the
winning of the war, Mr.. Hays makes
himself extremely clear on that
point and in terms that are far more
vigorous than any the President has
yet used. Republicans stand four
square for unconditional surren-
der"

The high price Of butter has been
the cause of the demand for the sub
stitute.
War time has not affected the
revenue from automobile licenses un-
til the last three months when a
drop in registrations began to be no
ticed and the state revenue from this
source for 1918 will go over $4,000
600, all of which goes to highway
maintenance. On the other hand,
there have been increases noted, al
though some are not very large, in
revenue from licenses issued by the
agricultural, insurance and other de-
partments, but the chances are that
there will be a decline in the number
and fees for Incorporation of new
companies at the State Department.
One of the interesting matters
which will arise when the influenza
epidemic subsidies and the bills COM
mence to come in will be untangling
what the state should pay and. what
local districts should assume. What
the state ordered the state will be
bound for, say men here, but there
will have to be some careful audit
ing. Expense, of the establishment
of emergency hospitals will be enor-
nous, while payment for services of
doctors and nurses who were unable
to afford to volunteer will be another
big item. The national government
gave the services of over 200 army
doctors at Camp Crane free and
railroads and big industrial corpora
tions furnished the services of their
surgical stats and hospitals. In some
cases clubs and citizens paid ex-
penses of hospitals created in their
buildings or residences, which takes
that off the public. The Adjutant
Generals Department was put to
heavy expense in connection with
the movement of tents and cots from
the state arsenal by truck to afflicted
places, purchase of mattresses, cots
and other supplies which the mill
tary end of the state government
placed at disposal of the Health De-
partment with unexampled celebrity
and in large quantities.. Just what
funds will meet all these expenses
will be interesting to observe. The
Department of Health had some
thing like half a million dollars in
it's general fund when the epidemic
started, Whether it will have to cur
| tail activities in any line after meet
ing it's first great outbreak of dis
| ease or send in a deficiency bill time
will alone tell, say officials here.

TO FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

m HERE has come to the atten-
tion of the Telegraph a circu-
lar letter. bearing in its upper
left-hand corner the name of Vance
G. Mccormick, Democratic national
chairman. addressed to federal Of
ficeholders, demanding money with
which to finance the Democratic
congressional campaign.
Evidently, the national chairman
feared that the communication
might find it's way into Republican
hands for on the face of the en-
velope is stamped this: Notice to
Postmaster-<-If addressee is a federal
employe please deliver this letter to
his residence or return undelivered
in three days"
This may be in perfect accord
with Democratic principles and we
have no criticism to offer, but can it
be that this is the same Mccormick
who used to shed bitter tears over
the fact that Capitol Hill employees
contributed to Republican campaign
funds?
Yes, dear reader, shocking though
the admission may be. 1t must be
confessed that they are one and the
same. In this painful instance we
have another demonstration of the
old saying that Circumstances alter
cases" and that chickens come
home to roost." There is the Mr..
Hyde Mccormick as we'll as the DIR.
Jekyl Mccormick, it would seem,
''Sit right down and send us a
check" the letter urges "our cam
paign needs are very urgent and
very hard to meet p S, Did you
notice the returns from the Maine
elections? They indicate the hard
fight we are up against" Evidently
the Mccormick millions are not
working as hard in national politics
as they used to do in State cam
paigns when the now national chair
man was himself seeking a job.

Governor
The Public Ledger says that the
Wares dragged" Scott "out of the
political obscurity" into which he
fell after his defeat for the nomina-
ton for Lieutenant Governor by Sem
ator Edward E. Beidleman. 1t is
we'll known that the defeat of Scott
was jolt to the Wares and an awful
dose for Scott. His temperance in
the House will give him a chance to
get into the limelight again and to
recover from his lack of prominence
in Congress and his encounter with
the Dauphin county leader. In any
event, the sessions of the next House
are going to be interesting. The
Wares have not had man like Scott
on the floor since 1918.

ON TO BERLIN

[From an article by Senator Lodge
on "The Necessary Guarantees OF
Peace" in Scribner's.l
We cannot get the peace we must
have if we stop halfway: We can
never get it if we stop at the Rhine.
We must beat Germany to her knees.
In the simple phrase of our soldiers
and of the average American, which
covers everything, we must go to
Berlin and make peace there.
The road is long and hard, but We
must march over it in triumph un-
less we are willing to hang our
heads in shame and admit that our
best-loved have died in vain. We
must beat Germany on her own
soil if we are to impose upon her
the conditions which will alone
secure our future peace and do some
measure of justice. to the nations
and the people whom she has
wronged. This is no easy task.
There is much sacrifice to be made,
much hard fighting to be done, and
to that we must make up our minds
and for that we must prepare. If
we do not, if we fail to carry it
through to the point where Germany
is rendered incapable of again en-
tering upon a war of conquest our
sacrifice of the lives of our chosen
youth will remain wholly unjusti-
fed. We must see to it that the
world shall again be a fit place for
decent, law-abiding, free people to
live in, and we can make it fit to
live in only by rendering it imposs-
ible for Germany to interfere with it.
In the words of the great Ameri-
can commander, we must have an
unconditional surrender" Moth
ing else will give us the great OBJ
iects for which we fight. Nothing
else will protect the world and save
humanity and civilization.

"BARBAROUS YANKEES"

1t isn't the fuss and the fighting I
fear
(Said Fritz, as he cautiously SAM
pied his beer).
It's the cranks.
Now, butchering babies, and torture
and loot
Are methods of warfare quite GER
tain to suit.
But it's queer
To struggle with people who don't
comprehend.
They feed all their captives; our
wounded they tend;
They make me quite nervous! Now
Hlmmel preserve us
From cranks!
1t isn't the noise of the guns that I
dread
(said Fritz, as he rubbed the soft
spot on his head).
It's the tanks.
Now, poisonous gases and red liquid
fire
Are sports which I fervently Hove
and admire.
How ill-bred
To flaunt whole brigades of those
engines of death,
And make chap run till he's all out
Oh DTedIH!
It's simply disgusting! Small use to
be trusting
In tanks.
1t isn't the English and French that
hate
(Said Fritz, as he gnawed at the
bones on his plate).
It's the Yanks.
I've told them and told them I'm
winning this war,
For answer they give me the merry
'Ha! Ha!"
Grim as Fate.
In hundreds and thousands they
recklessly come,
Insultingly chewing their ration of
gum,
It's fierce to be flouted and utterly
routed
BY Yanks!
Gott strafe the nation! The whole
combination!
I need a vacation-that's perfectly
fiat

the cat)..

SPROUL POINTS THE WAY

TOTwITHSTANDI the strong
M public sentiment back of the
proposed prohibition amend
ment and the fact that the Demo-
cratic nominees for the Legislature
in this city and county are pledged
in its favor, the Republican candi-
dates maintain a non-committal at
titude. Why they thus invite the
loss of hundreds of votes is hard to
understand, If their political op-
ponents were pursuing similar
course, the continued indifference to
a pronounced sentiment on an i'm
portant issue might be less surpris-
ing, but under the circumstances it
must be assumed that they are so
confident of their election by reason
of the disruption in the ranks of
the Democracy that they are willing
to take the chance of Republican
detection on the prohibition ques-
tion.
Whatever the reasons which ac-
tuate their course, the Telegraph
regrets that the party nominees for
the House are not in step with Sem
ator sproul, the standard bearer of
the Republican host in Pennsylvania,

STATE INHERITANCE TAX EX-
PECTED TO YIELD VAST SUM

n EOPLE who have been study
ing the states financial system
are of the opinion that the di-
rect inheritance tax established by
legislative act of 1917 will produce
between $2,5OO,OOO and S3,OOO,O0O of
revenue for Pennsylvania during the
fiscal year ending with November.
All this is income which the Com
monwealth did not receive before
and is in addition to what taxes may
be required by the United States
Government on direct handing down
of property or wealth. The collateral
inheritance tax produces between
S2,000,000 and $3,000,000 yearly.
Men interested in securing more
money for schools are looking to-
ward these two sources as possible
places where the additional cash re-
quired to maintain the Pennsylvania
educational system under stress of
war time and thereafter may be OBJ
tanned.
The direct inheritance tax became
operative when approved by Cover
nor Martin G. Brumbaugh in July
of last year and in the period be-
tween approval and the first of De-
cember, when the new fiscal year be-
gan, it produced approximately
S6S6,000. For the first ten months
of the present fiscal year it has
yielded something like s2,140,000. 1t
is administered through registers of
wills and the county bureau of the
Auditor Generals Department over
which Christian w. Myers, one of
the veterans of the state service, pre-
sides. The evolution of system of
collections required considerable
work, but it is now in running or
der and it is predicted that the reve-
nue. from that source will increase.
Under the act, payments can be
made under certain favorable condi-
tions within ninety days and some
of the big estates which have been
adjudicated in the last year have
paid very promptly.
Another course of revenue which
has considerably increased is oleo-
margarine licensing. This has liter
ally jumped and the revenue this
year will go away beyond quarter
of a million dollars. Dairy and
Food Commissioner James Foust
whose bureau issues the licenses
says more licenses will be taken out
this year than ever and that 5000
is a possibility for the coming year
