THE STATE PRESS

Berlin boasts that since the cam
paign of U-boat frightfulness" began
in February, ten million tons of ship
ping have been sunk. The best the
United States can do in the coming
year is to build about 100000 tons,
and 1t will take the straining of ev-
cry nerve to build that quantity.
What is the answer? Consent to
peace on Germany's terms? The
very opposite. The greater the
amount of destruction that Germany
is creating now, the greater is the
necessity for completely destroying
her ability ever again after this war
to destroy.-Allentown Call.
Many northern newspapers are
doing southern states a grave injus-
tice when they question the SINGER
ity of those states on the prohibition
question, by statements to the ef-
feet that the prohibition question in
the south is a negro question and
that the whites are only desirous of
keeping booze away from. the blacks.
Prohibition is popular in the south
to-day because the south has had
practical demonstration of its bene-
ficial results. 1t is popular in the
south for the same reason it is pop
ular in the west. 1t is popular In
the south for the same reason Ii
will be nationally popular within a
few years. Booze is on it's last legs.

TRUE LIBERTY

This is true liberty: when free-born
men
Having to advice the public, may
speak free,
Which he who can, and will de-
serves high praise.
Who neither can nor will may hold
his peace;
What can be juster in state than
this?
No free people can remain silent
when their vital interests are being
put in jeopardy by. incompetent ac-
tion and control. and a volume of
public opinion must be so developed
as to make the President. who has
shown himself to be very respon-
sive to public sentiment when it is
strongly manifested, and Congress
take proper measures to the end
that, the vast and vital resources
and interests of the country may be
directed by competent hands under
adequate control.

SHOVELlNG SNOW

Shoveling snow is an exercise heal
thy,
Shoveling snow sets a fellow
aglow,
Few of the pleasures enjoyed by the
wealthy
Have half the virtues of shoveling
snow.
Suppose Brown and Jones, who
are golf loving neighbors,
Whenever it SHOWS in a contest
would go,
Would plan a point system for scor-
ing their labors
And make "a keen game of just
shoveling snow.
Soon Brown would be buying the
latest in shovels
And Jones would be proud OF his
follow through stroke.
Their neighbors would flock from
their steam heated novels
And stay to compete, though they
came but to joke.
Block tournaments soon would be
widely the fashion
And champions their medals
would boastfully show,
Wed have thrilling races to wager
our cash on.
And spend all our spare moments
praying for snowl
o, life is a game and a sport and
revel!
It's just the dub players who get
it askew.
We grumble and fret and complain
IIA9p 9ql 9NII
At what would be fun IL we took
the right view.
Try shoveling snow in the true
sporting spirit
You'll find it a game to arouse
.you all through
And then. If you need further proof
of its merit,
After cleaning your walk you may
clean mine OF too.

der; neither Stacker nor gutter, and
patriot from top to toe, as he has
given all four of his sons, so would
he give himself without a muir
muir.
The one point we would make is
that in Theodore Roosevelt the
country has a great asset which the
government is not utilizing to full or
even partial advantage and that, If
the President would hardly put
aside his preference for differing
radically with a man when he isn't
in the room" because when he is
in the room the awkward thing is
that he can (and probably would)
come back at me and answer what
say" and summon his predeces-
sor for frank conference, he would
go far to achieve the unity which
he truly pronounces essential to
success.
Our Colonel himself opened the
way when he enthusiastically in
dorsed the great message as "a SOL
enln pledge" and insisted that 1.-The
American people must devote them
selves with grim. resolution and
wholehearted purpose to the effec-
tive translation of this pledge into
action,"-which is, above all else, of
course, what the President most ar
IDENTITY desires - George Harvey in
the North American Review.

Why Not Use Roosevelt /?

THE time is not far distant when
the government will need all
the help it can get from every
intelligent and patriotic leader of
men and from none more than from
Mr.. Roosevelt, whose personal fol-
lowing is still the greatest and most
devoted in the country.
We wonder sometimes whether the
President appreciates how many
hundreds of thousands of loyal citi-
zens feel a sense of personal tragedy
in the shelving of one who must be
regarded as the most generally recog-
nized, If not actually the foremost,
patriot in the land, in this hour of
the Nations greatest peril. Be-
cause the country acquiesced in the
Presidents correct judgment that
only professional soldiers should be
entrusted with high commands in
France, it does pot follow and it is
not the fact that the country is
pleased to have Mr.. Roosevelt ig-
nored or is unaware of the value
of the unique service which he
might render.
He may not have the technical
qualifications ofha corps comman-
der, but Our Colonel is true SOL

CHICKENS COME HOME

"HE hearing of the three can
didates for city treasurer be-
: fore council on the charge of
having gone too far" in soliciting
the support of Commissioner Gross
for the office named, turned out as
there was no intent to bribe or to
offer other illegal inducement. This
is gratifying to those who have. the
good name of the city at heart and
who are indignant that even the
suspicion of scandal should attach
TO any public official or translation
in Harrisburg. But while the men
Involved are to be congratulated,
the regret must be expressed that
the incident ever should have hap
pened. There appears to have been
absolutely no excuse Tor it. and tn.
good names of not only the three
men under fire have been injured,
but the commissioner himself does
not come off unscathed, while the
city itself is a helpless sufferer.
Mr. Gross. no doubt, will guard
his tongue very carefully in the
future. BY a strange coincidence
he himself the past week was the
victim of just such another tenn
pest in. teapot as he stirred up in
the treasurership contest. There
was absolutely no ground whatever
for the charge brought against him

AGRICULTURAL WEEK

THE State Capital is host this
week to the representatives of
the States agricultural and al
lied interests who have been coming
here for their annual meetings for
more than a decade and it is glad
to extend it's greetings at a time
when Pennsylvania needs the best
thought of its farmers and what
help the economists and scientific
men can give. The Keystone State
is going to need more food than
ever before next winter. 1t is a
state marvelously fertile in spite of
the fact that its wealth is in the
products of the mine, the mill and
the we'll 1t is being called upon
10 increase its acreage in grain and
its. yield of vegetables And it will
respond.
AS in almost every line labor is
the great factor. The draft, the
cities, the industries, the railroads
have drawn heavily from the youth
of the farm and the pre-eminent
VI bAiC W CCh SdlHGTlnR VIII
be to find a way to replace the
hands when sowing and reaping
times come around. Harrisburg, as
the center of big agricultural dis
trict and an Industrial and trans
portation city in the bargain, is keen
ly interested in the solution of this
question and bespeaks it's interest
and support for the plans which
may be evolved.
In the mid-winter exhibition of
farm products and the display of
the farm tractor, which ploughs by
day or night this community has
big interest. Many of the things
to be shown were raised in sight of
your Capitol's dome and the trac-
tors are those of firms which have
offices and branches here. We want
this exhibition to be an annual af-
fair and of the greatest possible use
to our people.

FIGHT THE PESTS

According to C. r. Orton, of the
botany department of the Pennsyl-
vania State College, now is the time
for every orchardist and farmer to
plan his next seasons campaign
against plant diseases, which annu-
ally destroy from ten to twenty-five
per cent. of his crops.
1t is too late to do anything for
the wheat crop now. but those who
grow oats and barley should get
their formaldehyde and treat their
seed for smut at any time when the
weather is not too cold. Care should
be taken to disinfect sacks in which
the treated grain is stored.
Potato growers should buy sup
ply of the same chemical for the
disinfection of their tubers next
spring to prevent scab diseases and
blackleg. 1t would also be well to
lay in supply of copper sulphate
to spray the potato crop later on.
Orchardists should be getting
their lime sulphur and other spray
materials before the spring drive,
when the market is rushed and the
supply may be low. This is the slack
time of the year and many of these
preparations, may be made now
with great>pfofit-The Pennsylvania
Farmer.

Somewhere In France where crosses
lean
Above so many graves to-day;
Where faded lilies place their screen
And summer winds kneel down to
pray
You who first ventured overseas
To watch at last the light grow
God must have sent his gentlest
To bring your spirit back to him.
Somewhere in France. dust unto
dust,
You wait beyond the Inn of Life.
Where through lone nights the
guarding crust
Shuts out the clamor of the strife;
But far above the crimson sod
No barrier your soul might stop,
When from the great white throne
of God
You see the Legion cross the top.
A year ago to-day you knew
The endless melody of song;
You saw that summer skies were
blue
That drifting summer days were
long;
You waited. while the twilight's
DT6aLn
Came grooming some old serenade,
To hold your rendezvous with
Death
At some disputed barricade."
To-day the Legion holds the line
Unbroken by the driving mass,
Where you have helped to write the
sign
In dripping blood-"They Shall
Not Pass!'
And now beyond the far divide
You see the starry flag advance
Among the millions who have died
For love of liberty-and France.
The eagles wings at last are spread
Above a never beaten shield.
Where still among the deathless
dead
Your spector haunts the clotted
field;
And borne afar on summers breath
You send this message hurtlIng
through
'T had a rendezvous with Death
i did not fail that rendezvous
