To Our Patrons:

Dear Sir:

have been after the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company long
ago. They have been very much
crippled by the recent Influenza cpl
demic, and are behind hand in a

make up all their deficiencies very
soon. as their shipment to the Lakes
has now stopped.
Yours very truly.

Dwyer Stakes
ToBe Run irst
ime To-day

To-day marks the inaugural of the
Dwyer Stakes, the substitute of the old
Brooklyn Derby, at the Aqueduct track
This classic, designed to commemorate
the late Phil Dwyer, former president
of the Queens County Jockey Club, has
attracted but limited field of three
ycarolds, though doubtless the class
lest one, nevertheless, that has been
seen in the East this season.
From the present outlook but three,
and perhaps only two, will face Start
cr Mars Cassidy. These are Harry
Payne Whitney's Johren, winner of the
Suburban, Latonia Derby and other big
races; Colonel Applegate's Jack Hare,
Jr., winner of division of the Freak
ness and other important engagements
in the East and A. K Macomber's i'm
ported War Cloud, which, when he
went into winter quarters late last fall,
was generally believed to be the most
serious candidate for the three-year-
old crown Of 1918
OF what Johron and Jack Hare, Jr..
are capable is we'll known. They are
both IN top form ust now, and experts
believe them capable OF such a race as
Hourlcss and Omar Khayyam furnished
at Laurel last fall. War Cloud is the
dark horse. Indeed, he may prove the
surprise of the race. 1t is said Johnny
LOTUS did not ride this colt according
to Stable instructions in the Belmont,
and that the boys suspension resulted
from this fact
Jack Hare, Jr, for which $4,000 was
refused recently, will probably be

Sproul For Ratification
J. HOWARD VERT.
912 N. I'd st,

Exceedingly gratifying to Penn
sylvania Republicans is Senator Will
liam c. Sprouts declaration in fav-
or of ratification of the prohibition
amendment. In his address to the
Chester County Republican Commit
tee he took substantially the posi-
ton that has been recommended by
The Gazette Times, and which has
been widely indorsed In this state.
With Senator Sproul unequivocally
for ratification, prohibition is def
nitely eliminated as an issue in the
governorship contest, since j. Denny
O'Neil also a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination, has taken like
stand. The Governor. 1T is to be re-
membered, will have no official duty
in connection with ratification, that
being exclusively a. legislative func-
tion, but the executive may exercise
no little influence over members of
the General Assembly when this SUBJ
ject is up for action. The signif-
canoe of the similar attitude of both
Republican candidates is therefore
apparent. 1t is a happy augury of
ratification by Pennsylvania next
winter, provided the people of this
great commonwealth are wise in
their choice of senatorial and repre-
sentative candidates in the primary
election. Hence, The Gazette Times
repeats. make sure of ratification by
nominating Republicans pledged to
support the Federal prohibition
amendment, The contest must be
waged and won in the primary cam
paign not after it.-From the Pitts
burgh Gazette Times.

Practically a Referendum

In New York, where the Legisla-
ture Is in session, efforts are being
made to submit the question of ma
tional prohibition to a vote of the
people. 1t is argued that since the
members of the Legislature were
elected before the question of SUBJ
mitting the prohibition amendment
to the States arose, no opportunity
has been furnished the voters to in
dicate how they feel on the subject
In Pennsylvania the situation is
different. Everyone has fair notice
that the next Legislature will be met
with the necessity of passing upon
the prohibition amendment, and the
people are reasonably sure to indi-
cate by their votes how they expect
the members of the House and Sem
ate to act. They can do this in the
selection of the members of the Leg
islature, who, in view of the prom
inence of the issue. will no doubt be
compelled to say whether they are
for or against prohibition before
they are elected.
Ordinarily only half of the mem
bers of our State Senate are elected
every two years. the term being for
four years. But because of death
majority of the members of the State
Senate as we'll as all of the members
of the House are to be elected this
year, so that there is no question but
that the people of the State will
have a free and fair opportunity to
express their views on the prohibition
amendment at the allo-box-From

THE PEOPLES FORUM
A TRIBUTE
TO the Editor of the Telegrabh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Perry County is jubilant over the
removal of legalized liquor selling.
We thank God for the two dry judg-
es, the Honorable Judges jeremiah
Keller and George e. Boyer. But
there is a desire that Judge william
A. Meiser be joined with them in the
tribute.
In one respect, at least, Judge
Meiser is even deserving of a higher
tribute than the other two. His
task was a harder one, to come to
such an agreement to exclude the
liquor from the county. The friends
of temperance will not be lacking in
this tribute of respect and apprecia-
ton for the so-called wet judge.
Since the writer has been more
frequently than any other before the
court with large remonstrances. and
since he publicly condemned the
course of Judge Meiser, two years
ago, for not giving a fair deal to a
remonstrance from Newport which
held about twenty times as many
names as the application, and was
voted down, he feels 1t incum bent
upon him just as publicly to express
his appreciation for Judge Meiser,
when he does give such a very fair
deal as he gave at the present ses-
sion of the license court. 1t affords
me great pleasure therefore, to urge
our demonstrating friends to no
longer class Judge Meiser as wet"
judge, nor even as "dry" judge, but
as that which is far better than
either, a just judge, at least in this
business which we have taken be-
fore him.
Whether it was so intended or
not, we would also add our commen-
dation of his conduct as most pat
riotic. What could be more unfair,
unjust. unpatriotic to our country,
our commonwealth, our country or
our cause, than to permit barrels of
booze to be shipped in, while barrels
of flour are being shipped out, to
take the children's bread and cast
it to the dogs? To the request,
therefore, that Judge Meiser's con-
duct be approved. l give most cor
dial assent.

Harrisburg Housing
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

The Telegraph's admirable edi-
torial, in the issue of March 8, en-
titled Our Next Big Problem" pre-
sented a great truth tersely stated.
One paragraph especially attract
ed my attention-"We rejoiced when
the old Capitol Park extension sec
ton of the Eighth ward was wiped
out, but the slum has not been elm
mated. The location has been
changed; that is ALL"
True, most true, in every word.
Annually, for almost twenty years,
the writer canVassed this distict of
the old Eighth ward for the City
Directory. The work was one of his
own selection, because he wanted to
study the housing and living condi-
tions of this section. Yearly he visit
ed every house; and in many of the
rooming houses. was obliged to pass
from room to room. He thus be-
came as familiar with the housing
conditions of the past in the Capt.
tol Park Extension zone as any citi-
zen of Harrisburg could be.
From time to time in walks
Around Harrisburg" and other SER
ials written for the Telegraph
he told some pregnant truths about
condlIlonS IN this section. But not
one tithe was told of what might
have been said; and these We're liv-
ing and social conditions found there
that could not be depicted adequate
ly in words. For very few of our
citizenship has any adequate or even
approximate conception of what a
fostering sore was located in the
heart of our city.
Now very duplicates of the old
Eighth ward are springing up-have
already sprung up, in other parts OF
Harrisburg. 1t is a question whether
there is not already one section in
which housing conditions and modes
of living are more disgusting than
they ever were in the zone now
razed of it's buildings.
What Harrisburg is going to dc
about it is a burning, an imperative
question. No city can wear the
crown of civic excellence, in which
are found housing and living condi-
tons such as now exist in portions OF
the capital of the grand old Key
stone State.
