TUMULTY'S ASPIRATIONS

T T is announced that Secretary
Tumulty will be a candidate on
the Democratic ticket to succeed
the late Senator Hughes, of New
Jersey. That is Mr.. Tumulty's right
and privilege, and nobody has the
right to say him nay. But Mr.. Tu-
multy has no ground to drag the war
into his campaign, and he should be
warned beforehand against any
temptation to do so. Support the
administration by voting for me-" is
a wornout election slogan, and Mr..
Tumulty will do well to steer clear
of it. Republicans are tired of be-
ing told that to vote against any OF
the Presidents numerous hand
picked candidates is breach of
loyalty, and they are resentful of
any effort to force them to vote for
Democrats on any such fimsy ex-
cuse.' They have not forgotten that
Democrats in the United States SEN
ate have been notoriously remiss in
their support of the President in his
war aims, and that most of his i'm
portant war measures were carried
to success by Republican votes

A COALITION COMMITTEE

TT is the opinion of all unbiased
persons that the Government is
- the better for the recent con-
gressional probing of the conduct of
the war, but it is to be hoped that
the committees will make some pos
tive recommendations to Congress
for the improvement of conditions
and the cutting of red tape. What
the country needs is not an investi-
eating committee whose chief pur-
pose is to uncover faults and fail
ures, but a constructive cooperating
committee ready to make sugges-
tions at any and all times in order
that the best results may be attain
ed and mistakes avoided.
There is no doubt that an investi-
gfation was greatly needed and that
the disclosures will make the War
Department more careful in the fu-
ture. But a sporadic activity on the
part of O committee will be only
temporary and limited in its effects
What the war needs is a committee
composed OF the best business men
in both houses of Congress-. and OF
both parties, constantly in close
touch with the War Department and
all other war agencies, for the pur-
pose of pushing this war to a success
full conclusion.
President Wilson has refused the
demand that he reorganize his cab
met. Its eleven members are the
same as they were originally Sc
lected on purely partisan lines. II
we can't have a coalition cabinet
Congress should rise to the occasion
by providing a coalition committee
1t would be perfectly easy to select
a dozen men in Congress whose bust
ness experience in private life has
been far greater than that of the
men who compose the cabinet. Il
would be easy to form such a com.
mittee of men whose ability would
win for them far greater confidence
than is enjoyed by the cabinet. i
would be easy to form a committee
of men whose judgment and energy
would be worth far more to the
country than the judgment and en-.
ergy of the cabinet. Then why
neglect this opportunity to strength.

TRACTORS PREFERRED

TT SEEMS hard to understand
why those in charge of railroad
matters should not Immediately
accede to the request of the States
agricultural authorities that tractors
and farming machinery be given
priority rights over other freight not
specifically listed as essential to Ma
tional defence. Pennsylvania has
been asked to speed up her annu-
ally increasing yield of foodstuffs
and to raise more grain, potatoes
and other things to eat. And this
has been called from the high
places, urged by the professors and
proclaimed in the public prints.
1t is granted that the farm boys
either have been taken into the
Army or attracted to the industrial
establishments by the high pay, and
that Keystone State farmers are shy
the hands needed to till the soil.
And it is predicted that unless re-
lief is given that the production of
last year in grain and vegetables
will not even be attained, much less
increased. Farm labor, says an ami
nent Democratic farmers leader OF
Pennsylvania, is more than fifty per
cent. short of what 1t should be
right now.
So why, in the face of such con-
ditions, should the people who are
running the railroads say that seed
corn and fertilizer shall have pref
erence and pass up tractors and
other farm machinery, without
which, in many cases, the ground
can not be prepared to grow food

that they said unto Samson's wife,
Entice thy husband, that he may de-
clare unto us the riddle, lest we
burn thee and thy fathers house.

Our Unknown NeighbOrS

In the early morning hustle
OF the city's noise and hustle
How we jostle one another,
AS we push our way along.
Some are going, some are coming,
Every wheel of commerce humming,
But there's something altruistic
In the hurry of the throng.
For we meet so many faces
In the same familiar places,
Where we saw them yester-morning
On the corner or the car;
Faces bright, and faces cloudy,
But we feel like saying "Howdy!"
For we see them all so often,
Though we don't know who they
are.
Yes, sometimes it seems pity
That we call the place a city,
And to smile and say Good morn
ing''
Would be rude and indiscreet,
But somehow it's sort of checry,
When our task is dull and drcIry,
Just to think of folks as neighbors
When you see them on the street.

PRESIDENT AND AUSTRIA

~ RESIDENT Wilson's ringing
declaration of Americas peace
aims evidently has struck a re-
sponsive note in Austria. There
never was a bolder or more slxillfully
written state paper than his ad-
mirable presentation of the United
States purposes in the war and it
just now becomes fully apparent
what the President was driving at
when he penned this paragraph:
The people of Austria Hungary,
whose place among the nations
we wish to see safeguarded and
assured. should be accorded the
freest opportunity Of autonomous
development.
Perhaps Mr.. Wilson knew more
of Austrian discomfort with German
intrusion and aggression than the
country-at-large. Perhaps he was
only hitting in the dark. But at all
events he appears to have struck a
very rich vein of sympathetic feel
ing in the dual monarchy. Beyond
doubt his peace message has had a

They now have finished their club work and are ready to demonstrate to the people of their respective commun- ities how well they have learned to make the tests and keep their records.

 Next fall they all will demonstrate at the state fair. and on the last day of the fair there will be a competition to determine which team is the best. A

STARTING TODAY ID
 COLLECT S50,0OO
 OF OVERDUE TAXES

According to City Assessor and ex- officiO Tax Collector Frank E. Bap- tist, a general roundup of delinquent taxes will be begun today with the sending out of more than 800 notices calling the attention of property own CTS to unpaid taxes. This does not in clude those whose taxes have just be-
 come delinquent, but will deal with the
 unpaid taxes of other years as far back
 as 1909. That these unpaid taxes amount to not less than S50,000 is the belief of Collector Baptist. He is of
 the opinion that they will amount to considerably more.
 The notices to be sent out today carry an itemized statement of the unpaid taxes, year by year, including ! assessments for lot cleaning, sidewalk construction and the delinquent pen
 alties. The dates when these taxes became delinquent are also stated The notices conclude with the state ment that in the event of non-pay-
 ment, suit will be commenced to fore
 close this lien"
 Recently it has become known that
 steps to collect taxes delinquent fol
 one or more years were to be taken | This has resulted in no small number | of property owners visiting the col | lectors' office and cleaning up theil | accounts. But these visitations have | not been in the nature of a rush anC | there is still a vast sum due the city | Collector Baptist is determined, as fal
 as possible, to clear the books of these accounts.

Despite this fact, the boys showed great class and speed and negotiated the perilous course with the deXterity of a Kentucky jockey There were fifteen entries iIt the two events. Some of the constants are leaving with the next contingent in the draft and they are surely the kind that laughs at peril.
 The first event was the stock race and was won by Harry Snyder on an Indian motorcycle in 1:12 4-5. Harry Crandall was second on a Harley Day. ison in 1:14; Kenneth Evans, third, in l1:19.
 The second event. the free-fo all, was won by Harry Crandall in the record time of HI 4-5; Kenneth Har- ris, second, in 1:16, and Harry Snyder. third, in 1:21.
 Joe Rhodes, the county motorcycle "cop." officiated as timekeeper, and | the judges were Joe Rhodes, R. Alex ander and Paul Grants. The race brought out a crowd of several hundred people. The boys are preparing another event to take place in the near future to consist of motor cycle jumping, and promise on that occasion that the worlds records will : Ne smashed.
