ode RODMAN DIES
OF PNEUMONIA

A government message was re-
ceived here last week announcing the
death in France of Ode Rodman,
whose home was four miles west of
Dresden in the vicinity of the new
Christian church, where his father
lives.
The young man is supposed to
have succumbed to an attack of pneu-
monia during October. He was
81 years of age and. the only child
in the family. Some three weeks
previous to his leaving for the train
ing camp he was united in marriage
to a young lady from Kentucky.
Ode was splendid young man
industrious, honest and manly, and,
like those other boys who have given
their lives on the battlefields of
France, Ode has made the supreme
sacrifice for; his country, and to his
memory we owe the same homage
as to those who fell in battle. The
Enterprise joins many friends and
citizens in expressing profound sym
pathy to the bereaved young wife
and the aged parents in their great
sorrow.

to victory in November" that de-
voted service may be rendered to
the nation and to the people OF
Pennsylvania
Those Republicans who supported
Mr.. O'Neil. Mr.. Habgood and other
candidates will unanimously rally to
the colors of the chosen standard
bearer and it is a safe prophecy that
the election of Senator Sproul will
be overwhelming and without fac
tional disturbance of any sort. Fac
tional activities were emphatically
rebuked in the balloting of Tuesday.
AS was expected, his big vote in
this part of Pennsylvania serves to
show the personal popularity of the
Republican candidate in this city,
and his connection with many i'm
portant enterprises in this section
have made him more than a mere
official visitor. He will be gladly
welcomed to Harrisburg as an old
friend when he comes to take up
the duties of a great office.

But I've learned that life is
something more than a happy-go-

fering in others. I know what 1t is
to be hungry, to be lonely, to be in
physical pain. Seeing mems lives

WHOLESALE CONFESSION

philadelphia Evening LEDGER
The decision of Mr.. McAdoo, Di-
rector General of Railroads, to per-
NIT the railroad companies to have
aboutsa billion dollars this year for
improvements is a confession of
past governmental mistakes which
conditions should make unnecessary
in the future.
The railroads have been starved
for several years. They have sought
permission to increase their rates
in order that they might have in
come enough to justify capitalists
in lending them the money needed
to buy new rolling stock, relay their
rails and bring their lines into con-
dition to meet the demands of in
creasing business. But they have
been treated most cavalierly. And
now the Government. when it at
tempts to run them. finds itself
handicapped by conditions produced
by its own blind demagogic policy.
The billion dollars to be spent this
year will do no more than put the
roads in the condition they should
have reached several years ago,
They will need another billion next
year II they are to keep up with the
times

A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

CENATOR SPROUTS statement
to the Republican voters of
- Pennsylvania in appreciation of
his nomination as the candidate of
his party for Governor has still fur
ther demonstrated his fitness for the
high office to which he aspires. 1t is
the utterance of a public man of
large experience who understands
men and who is without rancor or
vanity or any of the small weak
nesses which too often rise to the
surface in the moment of victory.
He regards his tremendous plu-
rality in the primary vote as an
expression of the confidence of the
people and a definite response to
his pledge of service for the Com
monwealth. The statement is gen.
erous to his opponents and avoids
even a suggestion of resentment
toward or criticism of those who In
duiged in attacks upon him during
the preliminary campaign.
What will crafty his friends
throughout Pennsylvania as much as
anything else that he says in thi:
expression of appreciation is his fur.
ther intimation that his administra-
tioa will seek to crush out the fac,
tional controversies which have dis
turbed the Republican party for sew
eral years by broad and fair atti
tude toward all party interests.
Senator Sproul feels a sense Of
deep responsibility and declares tina
he will give himself over to tn,
working out of the comprehensive
and constructive policies which wer,
enunciated in the formal announce
ment of his candidacy some week.

THE BEIDLEMAN VOTE

"HE nomination of Senator E.
E. Beidleman. for Lieutenant
Governor of the State in the Re-
publican primaries, on the same
ticket with Senator Sproul for Gov
ernor, is significant of the desire OF
Republicans in Philadelphia and the
State at large to rid the party OF the
factional Quarreling that has dis
turbed it for the past few years.
The big vote piled up for the Dau-
phin county Senator, even in Con-
gresham Scott's own city, is an evil
dence of this. Senator Beidleman
represented the State as a whole.
Scott was the candidate of fac
ton. The same conditions prevailed
with relation to :he head Of the
ticket and the success of Sproul and
Beidleman is such an assurance of
Republican success in November that
the people will now be permitted to
lay aside thoughts of politics and
turn their attention fully and whole
heartedly to the winning of the war,
undistracted by purely local affairs
The nominations made on Tuesday
are equivalent to an election. as
Senator Sproul in his statement fol-
lowing the primaries clearly ini-
mates he believes.
Senator Beidleman made a run
most gratifying to his friends, his
showing in Philadelphia and
throughout the coal regions indi-
eating his popularity in a personal
way and his strength in industrial
centers TO which his friendliness to
labor legislation justly entities him.
His almost unanimous vote at home,
he having carried all the districts OF
the city and county. is a great COM
pliment, especially in view of the pc
Culiar conditions surrounding the
contest, in which he was opposed not
only by a strong candidate but by
forces determined to unhorse him as
a political leader.

a time like this, 1t hardly seems
credible. If the conflict in which we

seem reasonable that such condi-

PLEADS FOR EQUALITY

To the Editor OF. the Telegraph;
In this day of storm and stress,
when men of all colors and creeds
are rallying to their Nations call,
IL seems hardly proper that any
word should be spoken which does
not by its mere utterance inspire
in the hearts of those who have been
making these sacrifices a greater
love of country than they had be-
fore. 1t is therefore with hesitancy
that I take it upon myself to give
public utterance to a condition of
affairs the fires of which have for
some time smouldered in the hearts
of all true and patriotic Afro-Ameri,
cans.
1t happened that on Monday af-
ternoon. May goth. the writer, an

WAKING UP TO US
Literary Digest ]

Literary DlSeSII
A complete revulsion of feeling
with regard to America can now be
noticed in the German press. After
pouring scorn and contempt upon
America and her Army, the German
papers are now for the first time in
dicating the magnitude of American
war preparations. For example, Karl
Rosner, the correspondent of the
front, admits that we are making
preparations on an extraordinary
SCALE" and the good man tries hard
to minimize their Importance. He
writes:
1.-THE coming of American forces
for the spring campaign brings i'm
portant and timely aid to our enemies
just when the liberation Of our fresh
German forces from the, East gives
unrestrained freedom of movement
to our whole military organization.
Henceforth American help must be
looked upon as of first-rate import
ance in the decisions which are i'm
pending. 1t is of course of more vital
interest to the Entente than to us, as
the Entente expects America to
make up for the loss of Russia and
Roumania. The German High Com
mand has a pretty good idea both~of
the number and of the effectiveness
of all the American troops now on
the Continent ready for fighting or
in training. 1t does not fear any up
setting of the situation even from
the entry of this latest enemy, nor
does 1t contemplate any material in
reference in it's plans for final deci-
Sive victory"
DR.. Rosner gives a long account
obtained from French prisoners OF
our activities behind the lines, and
he says that "the Americans are
building their own railroad lines
telegraph and telephone systems, and
even their own stations, warehouses
and barracks, and in every respect
conducting themselves as II they in
tended remaining in France for years
! yet"
Even more emphatic is the we'll
known naval critic, Captain Persius
of the Berlin Tageblatt, who says:
I'VE were at first rather inclined Il
underestimate the participation Of
America in the war. We begin now
to note a change of opinion. 1t is be.
| yond doubt that 1t will be we'll tC

less fantastic vagaries of persons dis

lation will permit her to raise, but

very near future, succeed in amass

constitute very valuable aid to on

NOT TO BE HURRIED"

Lv%OU cannot hurry the Presi-
dent into issuing that procla-
- nation" declared Congress
man Chandler in Congress the other
day, when an amendement to the food
appropriation bill requiring the
President to forbid the use of food
stuffs for the manufacture of in
toxicants was before the House.
And why not? Is Congress, which
placed this power of declaring the
country dry" in the hands OF the
President, powerless to provide for
the enforcement of the law in view OF
the fact that the executive has failed
to do what the lawmaking body
obviously intended him to do in the
event of a food shortage? The idea
is absurd.
There is a rapidly increasing ele-
ment in the country impatient with
the administrations policy of per-
mitting the breweries to use up i'm
mense quantities of coal and food
stuffs, while the home consumption
of sugar and grain is restricted and
coal is at a premium. Wheatless days
and beer nights do not form a very
popular combination.
1t is not unlikely, also, that the
Presidents failure to enforce pro-
hibition had its effect on the Demo-
cratic vote in this State on Tuesday
and was a potent factor in leading
many wavering Democrats to vote for
Bonniwell, the wet" candidate.
