PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW

TTNTIL the Washington admins
tration RECEIVERS from the OBJ
session that it owes the people
no explanation of it's official acts
the increasing protests will grow in
volume and energy. Recently out
breaks in the United States Senate
have been frequent and bitter as the
result of indifference to requests for
explanations from department heads
of unusual usurpation OF legislative
powers.
Nor will the treatment of Major
General Leonard Wood down. He is
believed to be the victim of the
Presidents personal resentment and.
despite the protests of distinguished
members of the Senate, not a word
of justification is offered for the
heartless sidetracking of a brave SOL
dier. His chief fault seems to lie in
the fact that he favored prepared
ness for war when his partisan crit
les at Washington were ridiculing
such appeals as hysteria.
President Wilson'S insistence upon
government control of the telegraph
line is another case in point. No rea-
son has been given the lawmakers at
the National Capital for this be-
stowal of still greater power and
they naturally hesitate in the alb
sence OF justification. Power and
more power seems to be the constant
demand of an administration that is
directing a war to make the world
safe for democracy. The people have
a right to expect that Congress will
assume its full share of responsible
ity in this great crisis and weakness
in either house will be properly con-
demned.
Again, Postmaster General Burle-
sons incompetent direction of the
postal service has been responsible
for much of the doubt that is preva-
lent throughout the business world
as to the fitness of the administra-
ton to manage the public utilities
that are now under its control.
Drastic changes are constantly be-
inS made without the slightest ex-
planation of the reasons therefor
and the people are not going to pas
sively submit to autocratic rule with
out kick. They are ready to back
the President and his advisers to the
limit In everything having to do with

Now comes another decree from
the wartime autocracy in Washing

Jonah SpdlloWed by a Fish

The word of the Lord came unto
Jonah the son of Amittai. saying,
arise, 60 to Nineveh, that great city,
and cry against 1t. But Jonah rose
UP to flee unto Tarshish, and went
down to Joppa; and found a ship
going to Tarshish. But the Lord sent
a great wind into the sea, and there
was a mighty tempest. Then the
mariners were afraid. So they took
up Jonah and cast him forth into
the sea: and the sea ceased from
her raging. Now the Lord had pre-
pared a great fish to swallow up
Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly
of the fish three days and three
nishts.-Jonah !. to Y

OUR HOUSING PROBLEM

! OOh f1OOOlNG PhOBLEM
~ INcE March 8 of this year, when
IN the Telegraph drew the atten-
/ ton of the people of Harrisburg
to the seriousness of the city's hous-
ing problem and the necessity of i'm
provement, this newspaper has given
/ serious study to the question and to-
day begins the publication of a SER
les of articles which it is hoped may
point the way to a solution. Andrew
s. Patterson, president Of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, awake to the con-
ditions. proposes to take the matter
up with the federal governments
housing experts; DR.. Roger. acting
State Health Commissioner, offers to
cooperate with State aid; while tho
State Bureau of Municipalities,
which has gathered much data as to
what other cities are doing, offers
to place its services at the disposal
of Harrisburg.
The stage is set for successful
campaign, but those who have in
terested themselves in the movement
must realize that they face what
may, and very likely will. prove a
long, hard task. The need is appar-
ent beyond the necessity of demon
stration, and it may not be very diff
ficult to reach a satisfactory method
of correcting the evil, even though
the United States Government
should decline to give the city the
assistance which those who have
given thought to the situation |
believe it deserves. But to de-
wise a means of putting into op-
Grafton any plan involving the in
vestment of large sums of private
capital will require tact. skill and
perseverance of a high order.
The leaders may we'll take a les
son from the public improvement
campaign of 1901, when all manner
of obstacles were thrown in the way
of those who were making the fight
for filtered water, paved streets,
parks, sewers and those other !rn-
in which HarrisburgersI
now take so much pride. There will
be those with axes to grind and land
to sell. There will be others who
will want to protect their own cent
by endeavoring to block
the new enterprise. There will be
ultra practical souls who will de-
clare that the time is not opportunA
that the money cannot be raised or
that we had better let we'll enough
alone" There will be those who
should invest who will hold back.
These and other discouragements
there will be. But back of 1t all the
will know that they
have the support of the best-think-
ing people of the city, that they are
engaged in a most important civic
work and that success will crown
their efforts If they persevere.
The project is big and the prob
lem not to be solved in day. If
the next six months, or even the next
year, brings with it concrete results
we shall be fortunate.
The first logical move is to do
what Mr.. Patterson proposes-ask
the federal government to help us in
our difficulties. since war industry
has been largely responsible for our
present overcrowded condition and
since prompt relief is necessary If
we are to find means of keeping in !
the hundreds of workers
who are being brought here to keep
the war material and munition mills
100 per cent. efficient. No time
should be lost in ascertaining what
Washington will do. After that we
shall know better where we are
headed.

No more fitting action was taken
by the great conference of prominent
men in New York in the interest of
war work of the Y. NJ @. A. than the
decision to cooperate with the Y. w.
c. A. in all future movements having
to do, with the care Of our men in all
branches OF the service. In the great
campaign for funds year ago Har-
risburg set the pace by an Immediate
arrangement with the Y. w. C. A. and
the Y. M. c. A. for a combination
drive. and the results were so salts
factory that other districts adopted
the same plan.

Results tell the tale.
All doubt is removed.
The testimony of Ladysmith citi-

Can be easily investigated.
What better proof of merit can be
had?
Levi J. Winters, retired carpenter,
FOG e. Fritz Ave-, Ladysmith, gave the
following statement December 1, 1913:
Several years ago was i'm bad shape
with kidney complaint. My back ached
and panied and mornings / was so
stiff and lame when / first got up |
could hardly bend over to put on my
shoes. My kidneys acted regularly
and I knew they were the cause Of my
suffering. The kidney secretiOns
passed every little while and nights l
had to get up so often / couldn't get
much sleep. DOan's Kidney Pills cured
me and / have had no kidney trouble
since"
LASTING RESULTS
On October 2, 1917 Mr.. Winters
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used in our home for several years
Doan's put me in good shape and since
then my kidneys have been all right"
