Fire Destroys House

The Fire Department was called to
the home of R. V Richards, on Ducks
Bayou in Klingsville, about noon to-
day. The house was a total loss. A
small amour tot furniture was
saved.
The fire was caused by a faulty
chimney flue. The fire-boys were
hindered by their inability to use
their hose and it took almost an
hour to extinguish the blaze.

No "Erchdnge of Ideals"

[From the New York Times1
The prompt rejection of the peace
proposal of Austria Hungary by
President Wilson and the Allies is
more than justified by the terms of
Germany's acceptance. The German
reply delivered at Vienna expresses
only a readiness for IAN exchange
of ideas" The Central Powers can
make no successful approach to the
Allies until, one and all. they have
accepted the ideas set forth in Presi-
dent Wilson's Fourteen Principles"
and they must guarantee that ac-
ceptance by withdrawal from Bel
GUM, France, and all other wrong
fully occupied territories and by the
abrogation of the Brest-Litovsk
treaties.
Germany is still unrepentant, un-
willing to perceive her defeat and
the necessity for reparation. She in
vites the use of force to the ut
most" and force to the utmost will
be used until she can no longer. even
pretend to have any voice in the
matter.
There will be no peace by negotia-
ton with a Hohenzollern or Haps-
burg.

A MEMORIAL BRIDGE

n OMEBODY has suggested that
- the Legislature be interested in
the proposal to erect a fine
bridge across the Susquehanna at
State street. which shall stand as a
fitting monument to the sons Of
Pennsylvania who have given their
lives in the great war How much
more fitting such a memorial would
be than a more or less ornamental
marble column, with its useless COL
lonades and carved approaches The
idea is worthy of serious considera-
ton.
Harrisburg is the hub of the State
Motor travel will become more and
more the means of inter-communi-
cation. A bridge at State street will
be one day a necessity. Even now
it is contemplated by the engineers
in charge of the State Capitol de-
velopment. At all events, such a
structure would be ornamental. Why
not join in it both the practical and
the sentimental?

GERMAN PANIC
nm the Altoona Mirror1

[From the Altoona Mirrorl
To the Muel1hausen Tageblatt we
are indebted for this interesting tes-
timonial to American military effect
iveness:
"The American offensive in upper
Alsace and the long range guns sup
posed to be intended to reduce to
ashes the towns of this country are
madly alarming the inhabitants.
Even people of high rank tremble
at the news like little children lis
tening to ghost stories"
Fine business! There is some
thing very satisfying in the know
ledge that a population that cele-
brated the Lusitania murder with a
school holiday and has cheered every
German depreciation in this war,
from the massacre of Belgian civil
lians to the bombing of English
women and children and the abso-
lutte destruction of French cities and
villages, should now be trembling in
fear of -etribution.
We are not much concerned, how
ever, with mere vengeance. What
we want is results; and the more
panic stricken the German popula-
ton becomes at the approach of the
terrible Yankees, the sooner Ger
many will go to pieces and the war
will end.

THE HOUR

BY my window, on my knees,
I watched the planets turning;
I could feel the upward yearning
OF the little cedar tries.
n the silence of the dim
Twilight before dawn.
When the night was almost gone,
Like drowsy cherubim
Clouds f1oated up and sailed
The blushing sky, and smiled
All rosy like a child;
Then drew away, and paled.
So passed the holy hour
When dawn, by darkness Hooed,
At heavens portal stood,
And morning came to flower.

Monthly.

What Germany Thinks of Advertising

Berlin Tageblatt, April 25, 1918:
"If the despised Yankees think
they are going to win the war and
force Germans out Of foreign mar
kets, there is nothing to indicate
this sentiment in their local and for
eign advertising. Many of their ad-
vertising agencies have closed their
doors through lack of patronage.
Their ch-talked-of captains of in
dustry have cancelled advertising
contracts everywhere. Germany and
German merchants have increased
their advertising space in neutral
markets, and at home 1t pays to
advertise in war as we'll as in peace.
The far-seeing merchant never stops
advertising"

THE EQUINOX

Rose-colored leaves on the dull
silent caves,
With the gold and the yellow
and brown,
Spell warmer sleeves and heart
that perceives
All the needs of the boys out
of town.
Autumnal rains with these equi-
noX strains
Mean the passing of sum-
mer's delights.
Who made the gains through
their manifold pains
For the safety of home-all
its rights?
Home castles pure are the kind
that endure
Not the kind that are founded
on greed.
Let us feel sure that our boys"
know the cure
For the serpent and some of
his seed.
They give their best-with a
smile they "go West"
(In thought breathing
prayer seeing YOU'D,
Or convalesce just to meet a
new test

North-laden air will soon make
us aware
OF the taxing the boys un-
dergo.
Now should We care if we're
asked more to spare
Can you feather mems nests
in the snow?

tone;-

Embarrassing Situation
[From the Altoona Mirror1

Railroad employees who are al
ready in political races will be per-
mitted to continue their campaigns
without Jeopardizing their positions
with their employers.
However, ii they are elected and
desire to hold office, they must quit
the railroad service.
To this extent has Director Gen
eral of Railroads McAdoo modified
his original order forbidding en-
ployes of the railroads under govern
ment conLrol from participating in
politics or running for office.
1t is concession to those candi-
dates who have already been nomi-
mated by their respective parties and
have entered the canvass for votes.
But it still leaves much to be de-
sired.
Take the cases of the local men as
a fair. example.
Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Kearns are run
ming for the legislature in the AL
toona district.
Neither would be justified in ac..
cepting the honor, if elected, if ac-
ceptance meant that the winner
would have to permanently relin-
quish his present position.
The same is true of Mr.. Forbes,
candidate for state senator
And it would likewise hold good
in the case of Mr.. Clark, who aspires
to a seat IN congress, although that
office pays considerably more than
either state senator or state repre-
sentative.
Unless the director general, after
the election, further modifies his or
der, granting furloughs to employees
who have been elected, the success
full espirants may not feel at liberty
to accept the honor conferred upon
them by the people.
It's an embarrassing situation for
those railroad men who are included
in the list of candidates.

Rdpid-Fire Readinq

DR.. Talcott williams, director of
the Pulitzer School of Journalism, at
Columbia, is said to be such an ex-
pert reader that he has only to
glance an instant at printed page
to master its contents.
Some enlisted men at the big
camps run DR.. Williams a close sec
ond. Many come to the American Lii
brary Association library every day
for a fresh book. One man took out
and read regularly three books a day,
until soldier in another company,
in a spirit of competition, began do
ing the same. The first man there
upon dropped down to two books
daily, declaring that the effort to
maintain his supremacy would ex-
haust his endurance. At Camp Cor
don one copy of Ralph Connor's THE

ALLFORONE--ONEFORALL

NO more significant evidence of
N the solidarity of the American
people has been given than
the important conference held at
Philadelphia Friday by representa-
tives of the seven war activities
which are to be united for COM
bined appeal to the people of the
United States within the next few
weeks. Many of the most influential
men and women of Pennsylvania at
tended this conference and the spirit
of service manifested was an inspira-
ton to all present
Raising millions of dollars for the
care of the men in the fighting
forces sometimes arouses discussion
and occasionally protest, but only
where the work is not understood.
Looking after welfare of the men
on the fighting line and maintaining
the morale is a military proposition.
When a man who is doing the fight
ing begins to realize that those back
home are not supporting him to the
limit, he is apt to become a discour-
aged fighter and a discouraged
fighter is of little account in actual
combat Fortunately for the Allied
Armies, however. the people of this
country are pouring out generously
of their funds Tor the maintenance
of this important war work and they
will continue to do so until the boys
come homo. 1t is their duty and
their pleasure to contribute in every
way to the well being of those who
have given up home comforts in
obedience to the call of country and
to high service.
An important phase of the con-
ference was the absolute obliteration
OF creed and sect Men and women,
widely separated as to religious
views, are uniting in the work which
concerns all. and it is a case of all
for one and one for all.

Our Ace of Aces
rFrom the New York Times.1

CFrom the New York Times.1
No American aviator had a finer
single exploit to his credit than
Lieutenant David E. Putnam, who
has gone the way of Lufbery Thaw,
Roosevelt and many others of our
young heroes of the air.
His performance above Rheims
last June, when he engaged ten en-
emy Albatrosses and brought down
half of them, has not been surpassed
in the war unless perhaps by Fonck,
the greatest of the French fliers
since Guynemer.
Putnam was not only a great avi-
ator, but an aggressive fighter, who
went into the clouds for his foe as
his ancestor, Israel, went into the
cave for the wolf.

NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE

~ IMPORTERS of Ramsey Black
are wondering what his final
decision will be with respect to
Secretary McAdoo's modified edict
regarding railroad men in politics.
Mr.. McAdoo's modification of his
first drastic order is looked upon in
railroad circles as little less en-
barrassing to candidates than the
original decree, inasmuch as in the
event of election after the labor and
expense of a campaign they would
be confronted by the alternative of
resigning their railroad positions or
relinquishing the offices to which
they had been elected.
There is special interest in the case
of Representative Black owing to
his consistent support of anti-liquor
measures The prohibition question
is one of the big issues in Pennsyl-
vania this year-second only to the
war-and his retirement would be
generally regretted by scores who IA
vor the amendment and who had
determined on account of his tenn
perance record to support his candi-
dacy for reelection.
Other candidates for the Legisla-
ture have pledged themselves to vote
for the amendment when it comes
up for ratification at the session
next winter, but there are still in the
field here and there a number who
vainly imagine that the people are
not wide enough awake to differen-
tiate between those who favor the
amendment and those who do not
on personal or political grounds.
It is reported in some quarters
that while they have not so declared
in any public manner thus far. the
Republican candidates for the Leg
islature in Harrisburg and Dauphin
county are personally in favor of the
ratification of the national amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors. But
this is not enough. They should

PRIMARY ELECTIONS

tFrom tho Philadelphia Inquirer.1
Senator Pomerene. of Ohio, Is
much perturbed over the amount of
money spent IN the Michigan primar-
les and elsewhere, and wants the
Senate to investigate the matter.
Evidently this is a partisan move.
but If there is to be any investiga-
ton at all it should be thorough and
not confined t. any one state or
states of any one party.
The Republican party of Michigan
spent large sums on the primary
election and has promptly published
the amount according to law. AL
most all OF the total was for news
paper advertising. One of the Pc
culiarities Of primary laws in most
states is that there can be no secret
advertising. In some states it is
even required that the sum paid shall
be printed IN the body of the ad-
vertisement itself. That is and must
continue to be the chief item of eN-
pense in primaries as at present con-
Quoted.
In Michigan it was necessary to
canvass the entire state, and as there
were several candidates running, tho
sum expended was necessarily so
large that no poor man could enter
the contest unless others paid his eX-
penses. There is no doubt that the
money was spent; there is no proof
that any of il was spent dishonesty.
The plain truth is that primary laws
put a premium on expense in cleo
tions and defeat the very purpose for
which they were passed-to give
everyone a chance to run for office.
Experience has shown that pri-
mary laws have, as a rule, strength
ened the power of political organi-
cations. 1t is seldom that the or
ganizations lose, and then under
circumstances which would have pre-
vented success under any plan. As
n hollow mockery of political re-
form. They favor wealthy candi-
dates or those backed by organiza-
tions. They do not produce any bet
ter men in the public service.
Many reforms have been accom-
plished along with primary legisla-
ton, but they are largely indepen-
dent of the system and would have
come in any case. 1t may be that
the present system can be reformed
so as TO produce that equality of
opportunity without expense, so
much desired, but no one has yet
shown how this can be accomplished.
If the Senate will investigate the
subject impartially, and tell the
truth, we may have new starting
point. Just now the only satisfied
persons are the professional politi-
clans.

Germans Cheer Pres. Wilson

Six thousand workingmen and
workingwomen cheered the war aims
of President Wilson at a mass meet
ing held recently at Mannheim, Ger
many. according to the correspond
ent of the Swiss Humanite. A mem
ber of the Independent party, in a
speech, outlined the Presidents pro-
gram as formulated in January,
1918. "On the basis of the Wilson
war aims peace could be established
with a little good will" the speaker
declared. The Humanite says:
1.-THE applause which greeted his
words sufficed to show that the
greater part of the persons in the
hall were of his opinion, but the au-
thorities were unwilling that the as
sembly should manifest it's senti-
nents in this respect by a formal
vote"
Since the meeting the German
newspapers have assailed President
Wilson violently.

Pigs Is Pigs

Little Bobby had a backyard
chicken coop, and knew all there
was to be known about chickens, but
he had no acquaintance with the
animal life of a farm whatever.
Being very much interested in all
live stock, he had always inquired
when eating meat: What animal
does this come from? ?" and so had
pretty we'll placed the source of all
animal food.
One day Bobby was very lazy and
continued to lie about on the floor,
grunting and half asleep.
"Oh, Bobby" said his mother, do
stop that grunting and get up and
do something! You're as lazy as
a pig!"
"Why, mother" said Bobby, as
he sat up in astonishment, 'I don't
see how you can call a pig lazy.
Look at all the hams they lay!"

By Briggs

Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, April 20,
1918:
Nothing is more acceptable to the
German nation than to note the fact
that the North Americans have
abandoned advertising their goods in
practically all of the foreign mar
kets. In the United States itself
there is not a paper which has not
suffered a loss in its advertising
lines, and that despite the fact that
the last year showed an increase in
the millionaire class of 973 individu-
ais. In other words, the war has
terrorized the American nation, but
not the Germans, for a perusal of
their periodicals will show that
manufacturers still advertise, even
if they have not the goods to deliver,
but with the idea of keeping their
name before the public"

Through the enlargement of its
shipping facilities, Germany hopes to
rush food and raw materials into

antagonism of the belligerent ma

ahead with the same greedy spirit
