Sound Sense From KnOT
[Col. Harvey's "War Weekly."1

[Col. Harvey's WAR Weekly."1
The League of Free Nations in its
actions condemning the Knox Senate
resolution concerning the Paris peace
conference, seems to misapprehend
just what the Knox resolution really
is. The league describes it as an
arbitrary settlement which would
be short-lived in it's effect and would
vastly increase the growing danger
to world safety"
This is inaccurate in about as
many ways as 1t well could be. The
Knox proposition is not a settle
ment" of the League of Nations
question, still less is it an "arbi-
trary" settlement of that same. Fur
thermore it would not vastly in
crease the growing danger to world
safety" for the reason that there
isn't any growing danger to world
safety. On the contrary, whatever,
If any, danger to world safety there
may be is diminishing with head
long rapidity with every passing day.
The growing season for world dan
ger was coincident to, and an in
tegral part of, the past fifty years
growth of the German empire.
Thanks to Providence and the
strongest battalions, the German
empire is smashed. Its power for
international villainy is ended. And
with the downfall of Germany went,
for long time at least, the danger
to world safety which the worthy
people of the League of Free Ma
tions see so ominously increased by
Senator KnoX's very clear-headed
and commonsense resolution.
BY that resolution the peace con-
ference would occupy itself, so far
as the United States is concerned,
with the objects for which the United
States went to war, and with these
objects only. These objects Senator
Knox clearly and accurately defines.
They were to vindicate the ancient
rignts of navigation as established
under international law. and in or
der to remove forever the German
menace to our peace" The Senator
then recites the fact that confer
ences are about to take place with
the purpose to complete, perfect and
to guarantee the attainment of these
war aims and thus TO pass to the
state of formal peace" The resolu-
ton then provides for the safeguard
ing of these attained war aims by a
definite understanding that, the
same necessity again arising, there
shall be the same accord and CO.
operation with our chief co-bel-
ligerents for the defense of civiliza-
ton"
Mr.. KnoX's resolution is not, as
the League of Free Nations asserts,
a settlement" of the League of Ma
tions plan any more than 1t is set
tlement of the freedom of the
seas" idea, whatever that remark
able idea may be. 1t is settle
ment" of nothing. 1t merely puts
the United States Senate on record
as favoring relegation of the be-
logged Fourteen Commandments to
their proper place for consideration,
after formal proclamation of peace,
on their own merits and in their own
appropriate time and order.

". Harry Baker, Subject of
Fine Newspaper Tribute

THE Philadelphia Press pub
fishes the following fine tribute
to w. Harry Baker, secretary
of the Senate, and one of the best
known citizens of Harrisburg:
"A few weeks ago Governor-elect
Sproul publicly made what amount
ed to the statement that w. Harry
Baker, of Harrisburg, could have
| any of the big appointments he
wanted under the forthcoming state
administration-perh an unpre-
cedented tribute to a man who had
come up through the ranks in Penn
sylvania politics. Baker started his
political career as page boy in the
State Senate when he was eleven
years old.
Few of the general public could
have known the man to whom Sem
ator Sproul referred when they read
| his remarks about him in the state
ment the Governor gave out,
for during his whole career, Baker
has never held elective office. Even
in the present instance he followed
his usual course and declined ap-
pointment, saying that he could be
secretary of the Senate
Yet VIII srever politics is known
in the State, Harry Baker is known.
Fon some years he has been secre-
tary of the Republican State Com
mittee. He is a member of the
inner circle of the State organiza-
tion and his advice is sought on all
important matters under considera-
ton.
Hays Wanted Baker
"As an administrator of the busi-
ness of the State Committee, which
includes the actual direction of its
election campaigns, he has won a
high opinion for his executive abil-
ity. When National Chairman Will
II. Hays came to Philadelphia for
the State Committee organization
meeting after the recent primaries,
he was so much impressed with the
way Baker handled the large gath
ering that he straightway tried to
kidnap him for the National Com
mittee. He wanted him to go to
New York as one of a small group
of the ablest men among the young
er politicians all over the country.
Again Baker respectfully declined.
Mr.. Hays probably did not know in
making his request that he would
be taking from Pennsylvania the
man who makes the wheels go round
in a Republican campaign. But the
State organization knew it. So
Baker did not go.
THE great thing about Baker is
his square-dealing. 1t has probably
put him where he is, for there are
other able men in the field of poll
tics who do not get as far. They
lack that prime requisite in leader
ship, the ability to command the
confidence of the men they are
working with. In this regard, Baker
enjoys unusual distinction. No one
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-17

can bear testimony to that with
more authority than the political
writer's of the newspapers, who run
up against square dealing and deal
ing that is not square, twenty zines
day.
Soul of Truth
Among the political reporters
there is one way of ending all argu-
ment on a disputed fact. Harry
Baker says so' is the phrase that
does it. He has a hankering after
truth and he even carries the virtue
so far that he will admit without
hesitation the authenticity of a
story upon which he is questioned,
even when it is damaging to the
cause he is for the moment engaged
in. Where the average politician
would squirm and try to evade.
Baker comes out straight with the
truth.
Naturally, he does not reserve
this habit only fors use with news
paper men. He has the same repu-
tation among his political associ-
ates. In fact, it is said that he
often is disconcertingly frank with
the leaders when they ask his opin-
ion with the view of getting the
answer they want, not his real opin-
ion. They say that Baker can tell
things to Senator Penrose that few
others would care about mention
ing.
Baker was born in what is now
known as the downtown section of
Harrisburg. His father, James
Baker who is one of the most re-
spected residents of Harrisburg, for
years was in charge of work at the
Central Iron and Steel Company.
I'm the session of 1889 Harry
Baker was named a page to the
State Senate. In those days it was
the ambition of every Harrisburg
boy to get on the HILL But not
every boy who got there made good.
Baker did.
1T was only a short period of
years until he was assistant to Her.
man P. Miller, the Senate Librarian,
and the officials and chief clerks be-
gan to lean on him more and more.
zone of his earliest friends was
the then young Senator from Della
ware, William c. Sproul. Baker was
still the youngest of the pages when
Senator Sproul was sworn in, and
the new Governor was shown where
he had been assigned to sit at his
first session by the man who by the
turn of years was the guiding hand
of the Republican State Committee
which ran his campaign for the
highest office of the State.
Another early friend made while
he was in the State Senate was Boies
PenTose.
Baker is still a young man and
there is no telling how far lie will

will not be advertising. His regu-
lar request is, don't use my name.
The facts upon which this very aIti-
Gle is based were secured by a con-
spiracy among few of his friends"

SONG

Twas spring upon the uplands
When my laddie said goodby,
And oh, the earth slept pleasantly
Beneath a smiling sky.
The bloodroot by the river bloomed
And young leaves clothed the
trees
And all the woods were blossoming
With white anemones.
The folk that passed by told me
The world was very fair
But yet my heart seemed cold and
bleak
And snow lay very heavy there.
The ice had clothed the river
Nhen my lad came back to me.
His dear bright face burned thin
and brown
BY wind on land and sea,
The wind sang high and bitterly
About my cottage caves;
And driving snowfiakes hissed upon
The piles of russet leaves.
Held tight within frigid hand
The world was stark and dumb,
But deep within my heart of hearts
knew that spring had come.
