Secret Enemies at Home

THE task of this country, in the
present war. would be greatly
simplified and greatly reduced
in its magnitude were all our coun-
try's enemies in the German and
Austrian armies. The fact that there
are hundreds of thousands even mill
lions, of enemies scattered all over
our land, either conspiring to poison
our soldiers or to poison public opin-
ion that supports them; conspiring to
dynamite industries making muni-
tions and supplies for our Army or
to demoralize public opinion and de-
stroy the morale of the people upon
whom the men in our Army and
Navy must rely for support-these
facts and these activities mean not
only prolongation of the war and a
larger loss of life. but it means tears
otherwise unshed and sorrow other

The forces of evil, of disorganiza-
ton, of disloyalty and of enmity to
America and it's institutions are man

SMOKE THEM OUT

TT is time to smoke out the skunks
who are against u.s." said DR..
Bagnell, addressing the indus
trial committee of the Liberty Loan
campaign Wednesday evening.
He was speaking not alone of
rank out-and-out pro-German, but
of lukewarm Americans who are
able but decline to buy war bonds.
DR.. Bagnell libels the skunk by
comparison, but he is right about
smoking the do nothings" into the
open.
IF they are not for us they are
against u.s." the speaker continued,
and he is right about that, too.
Right here in Harrisburg there are
men of means and others in pros
porous circumstances who either
have bought no bonds or whose sub
scriptions have been small in pro-
portion to their incomes.
The names of these ought to be
public property. Their fellow towns
men ought to know who they are in
order to shun them.
The man who can and won't put
Emoney into Liberty Bonds is giving
aid and comfort to the enemy,
whether he intends it or not. The
Liberty Loan committee should take
drastic steps, if necessary, to make
all such laggards subscribe as liberal
ly as their means will permit, and
failing in that the names of all such
should be published.
AS DR.. Bagnell says, it is time to
smoke them out.

Kaiser and People One

When at last we got into the war
the President, having taken the
ground that "the war has entered
into a stage in which words are
more powerful than bullets" tried
to impress upon the German people
that we have no quarrel" with them
as such. He did this in the hope
that he could drive a wedge between
them and their despotic rulers who
had plunged them into warfare.
That policy had completely fail
ed The German people are now
more united than they ever have
been. And to-day, because we per-
mitted ourselves to be insulted. lied
to, bullied and scorned by the Kaiser
and his band of ambition-mad saw
ages, we are only half ready to deal
with the Scourage of the Devil.
We are not eliminating. We have
all been more or less inoculated with
the poisonous virus of discrimination
between the Kaiser and his people.
But now the time has come when
we should realize clearly the situa-
ton and declare the truth, which is
that there can be no discrimination
between the military despots and the
people of Germany as a whole, for
they are as similar as are peas in
the same pod.
How could it be otherwise. consid-
ering that the German people have
been educated in a school of hatred
and elf-glorification? How could
it be otherwise when the people
have been taught-and believe-that
the Kaiser is the anointed of God to
do the Devils work?
The trouble with the German EN-
pire is, that it is morally rotten to
the very core. 1t is a Goddess ma
tion-Godless because it rejects the
God of the Christian, of civilization
1t has a good old German Gott" of
its own-especially manufactured
for it by the mad men of Berlin and
Potsdam.- m.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

SAVING ELBOW GREASE

WYE are going to be very busy
Wv people the coming summer,
with. little time for unneces-
sary occupations. Fly-swatting al
ways has been an irksome and un-
plea SAINT duty for the careful house.
keeper, and this year she has her
hands full with a thousand things
essential to the conservation of home
supplies and the economies incident
to war. So the wise course would
be to get rid of the flies without the
process of "swatting" that has been
for years the most popular of indoor
sports in the average American
home during the summer months.
And this may easily be done.
The best way is to destroy the
breeding places of the flies. For this
reason no rubbish should be toler-
ated in backyards or about the prem
ises any place. To destroy flies out
of doors make a mixture of two
ounces of commercial formalin and
ten ounces of water, mixed with
either sugar or milk, and expose this
In fiat dishes. If no other fluid is
left about flies will drink this, with
fatal consequences to themselves.
The next best thing is to kill any
flies that have entered the house.
This can be done by dropping twenty
drops of carbolic acid upon a hot
shovel or by burning a piece of
camphor in the room.
A little brainwork now will save
a lot of elbow grease after while.

NOUS the Time to AdDertiSe

Advertising is the stabilizer of
business now more than ever" said
James O'Shaughnessy, of New York,
secretary of the American Council
of Advertising Agencies, in a recent
address before the Western Council
of Advertising Agencies in Chicago.
More and better business must
depend now, especially upon more
and better advertising. There is no
place for business as usual it can
not be as usual under war condi-
tions. Not business as usual. but
more business; not less advertising,
but more advertising, must be the
slogan of the manufacturer.
England was quick to realize
that upon the character of advertis-
ing depended a large portion of the
business success which has come to
her manufacturers. in spite of war
strain. and we must learn the same
lesson"

statements of others who favor pro-

There is only one meaning to TINS
which is, that Senator Sproul Will
favor any anti-liquor. legislation to
cover the period between the adop-
ton of the dry amendment and
its operation as a fundamental law
of the land-local option, Statewide
prohibition or other regulative meas
ures. No other candidate has pub
licly gone so far. What more can
any prohibition advocate ask?
It certainly cannot be that the
temperance forces of this State are
going to permit themselves to be led
into the trap set for them by the
liquor people, with Statewide pro-
hibition as a bait. Nothing would
please the whiskey crowd more than
that the coming campaign should be
waged on the issue of State instead
of national prohibition. They are
attempting to "camoufiage" the sit
uation thus in other States and 1t
must not be permitted in Pennsyl-
vania.
A LEGISLATURE pledged to national
prohibition may be expected to look
kindly upon Statewide prohibition
and the issue should be fought out
on that ground. National prohibi-
ton by constitutional amendment
will be irrevocable. Statewide pro-
hibition would be but poor make
shift. IN danger of being wiped off
the books by the first wet" Legis-
lature that might slip into power.
The Telegraph believes that Sen
ator Sproul, ]. Denny O'Neil and
Robert B. Habgood. candidates for
the Gubernatorial nomination, are
all sincere when they announce
themselves as favoring the federal
amendment. Senator Finn, the for
mer Progressive leader now out for
Mr.. O'Neil himself said the other
day that Senator Sprouts word is as
good as his bond. Is there any more
reason to believe that he is not sin
cere than to think that the other
candidates will not live up to their
pledges?
Announcement by Joseph F. Cuff
few that he will be a candidate for
governor on the Democratic ticket
on a "dry" platform removes COM
pletely and finally prohibition from
the gubernatorial contest. All of the
candidates worthy of mention have
declared themselves favorable to the
amendment and the public in COM
mon decency must accept their
statements at face value. This lin
ing up of both Republican and
Democratic aspirants for the pro-
hibitory amendment should permit
the dry forces to drop the gov
ernorship and give their entire time
and attention to the election Of
members of the House and Senate,
who will be pledged to vote for the
temperance measure
There is no more earnest advo-
cate of prohibition anywhere than
the Telegraph. This newspaper was
the first in Central Pennsylvania,
years ago, to bar liquor advertising
from its columns. It's position on the
liquor question is a matter of record.
1t believes the next Governor and
the next Legislature in Pennsylva-
MIA will both be dry" 1t is doing
it's full share to bring this about.
But it declines to permit its con-
victions to becloud it's judgment
and it bespeaks for all candidates
who pledge themselves to support
the amendment fair play and
square deal. The man who stirs up
contention in the ranks of temper
ance at this critical time plays di-
rectly into the hands of the LIQUOR

of the Legislature. Chairman Prugh
indulges in some discussion of Sem
ator Sprouts platform and endeav-
ors to prove to his own satisfaction
that the Senator's statements are
mere camoufiage:" that he doesn't
mean what he says; that his words
do not ring true and that Senator
Sproul can only prove his sincerity
and honesty of purpose by IAN i'm
mediate and emphatic pronounce
ment for a Statewide enactment of
a prohibition law as one of the first
acts of the coming Legislature"
Further, Mr.. Prugh says:
Again. Mr.. Sproul can see no
farther than ratification of the
amendment as calling for imme-
date action. He knows that the
amendment carries clause pro-
vided that it shall itself not be-
after its ratification by the
requisite number of States. He
knows this will give the liquor
traffic another years lease or Ire
in all States that do not enact
immediate Statewide prohloi-
ton.
1t is evident that Mr.. Prugh either
has not read Senator Sprouts state
ment carefully or that he wilfully
misrepresents, which the Telegraph
does not believe a man of his calling
would do. Mr.. Sproul does say pre-
cisely what Mr.. Prugh declares he
does not. In his platform, following
an unqualified declaration in favor
of the prohibition amendment. Mr..
Sproul says:
The question of the enforce
ment of the prohibitory amend
ment after it shall have become
effective is one to which little
attention has yet been given.
The amendment, as 1T reads,
leaves to Congress and the
States, by concurrent" legisla-
ton. the carrying out of the Will
of the people. Many questions
will come before our Legisla-
ture in the next four years as to
the regulation of the liquor trade
and the Interpretation and en-
forcement OF the new funda-
mental law after it has been rati-
fed and is in effect In full ac-
