Pennsylvania Farmerl

1t seems a pity but it is neverthe-
less true that great deal of pro-
duce of different kinds has been a
total loss the past season because it
was impossible to get it to distant
markets. 1t may be that the condi-
tion was unavoidable because of the
great demands made upon transpor-
tation by war necessities. Never
theless, the situation was respons-
ible for the loss of much perisha BILE
stuff on the farms and was also
partially responsible for the abnor-
mally high prices in the cities. For
instance, early apples have been sell
ing at unheard of prices all summer
and fall-bringing 81 to $S per bar
rel, while thousands of bushels rot
ted under the trees within $50 miles
of Philadelphia.
Another record price made was
that of the New York hay market;
No. l timothy, baled, reaching the
unheard of price of $46 to $48 per
ton. This was local price and was
due to the short supplies on the mar
ket at that place and not due to a
short crop in the country. All this
helps to increase the wonder at the
order which diverts shipping from
the new barge canal to the railroads
so that the railroads may be more
profitable. 1t is said that the canal
is being operated at about 20 per
cent. of it's capacity.

E1uch Money in EScheat

At least a million dollars will be
secured for the State Treasury and
thousands of dollars annually will
come to the Commonwealth IL the
state wins the suit testing the con-
stitutionality of the escheat law in
opinion of officials connected with
the legal and fiscal departments of
the state government. The appeal
from the decision of President Judge
George Kunkel, of the Dauphin
county court upholding the statute
and deciding that it did nc violate
either federal or state constitutions
is being prepared and will be entered
in a few days with prospects that
the argument will be heard by the
supreme court during the, winter.
Judge Kunkel decided in favor of
the act some months ago, but the
case was returned to the Dauphin
courts for discussion of the various
points raised against the law, which
was upheld in every question.
1t is expected that the appeal will
act as a. supersedeas except in the
matter of reports from banks or
others such as trustees having val
liable property which is unclaimed.
These reports were called for by
the auditor general a year ago and
although some objection was made
at the time some were filed prompt
ly. They covered unclaimed bank
deposits, money and securities. The
amount disclosed, as a whole, was
not what was expected. There were
some people who looked for the re-
ports to discover, in a legal sense,
a mint of money, but they were
disappointed. Enough was found,
however, say fiscal officials, to swar-
rant proceeding with the endorse
ment of the act as a valuable source
of future revenue as we'll as to OBJ
tain for the Treasury a sum which
would come in handy at war time.
The mountainous unclaimed bank
deposits which were referred to
during the legislative sessions at
which the act was discussed were

NO TIME TO LET UP

A HUCH is coming out OF Ger
IV many recently which indi-
Gates a feverish condition of
the public mind, if there is such
a thing left in Hunland. But we
must not take too seriously these
indefinite rumors of final collapse
of the German autocracy. The Grim
inals in control of the country know
that there is nothing to expect from
their conquerors and they will hold
on until the last in the hope that
by some freak of fate they may es-
cape the punishment in store for
them.
1t is the job of this country and
its allies to whip the Prussian
hordes so that they will understand
that it is not a question of what
terms they shall offer, but what
terms will be imposed upon them.
Decent negotiation with such a peo-
pie is out of the question. When they
realize that they can go no farther
in their bloody career the yellow
streak which has already appeared
on many occasions will show and
finish of the awful chapter may
then be anticipated.
There should be no letup any
where in cur preparations for Wig
orf'us prosecution of the war. The
successful dotation of the fourth

found not to exist except as one
Capitol Hill attache put it "on sus-
picion."
The auditor generals department
will call for reports from the banks
and others having property which
might be unclaimed and be valuable
enough to escheat or to claim for
the Commonwealth in the lack of
claimant or known heirs. The his
tory of escheats in the last decade
or SO, except in the Economy case
from Western Pennsylvania, does not
show the state receiving the money
which is commonly supposed to
drop into the Golfers. Moneys es-
cheated to the Commonwealth GO
and sales of state property, to the
Pennsylvania Permanent School
Fund, which was established by the
School Code of 1911 and which has
been heavily invested in Liberty
Bonds since the outbreak of war.
The actions to test the constitu.
tionality of the law were begun in
Equity in the Dauphin county courts
ION behalf of two Pittsburgh and one
Philadelphia financial. Institutions
which took the lead in the move to
obtain a review of the law. Frank
M. Eastman, of this city, has been
engaged as special counsel in charge
of escheat matters at the attorney
generals department. He is an ex-
ipert on state taxes and one of the
iwell-posted men on escheat matters
| in Pennsylvania.
Escheat acts have been in con-
ltention here for ten years. They
have been agitated in successive
legislative sessions and the act of
1915 was passed as an amendment
to earlier enactments on the sub
ject after numerous hearings, some
controversy and redrafting of the
measure. The act of 1917 was sup
Elemental, designed to cure some
defects in operation of the law
passed two years ago. The notice
and advertisement features were the
! chief bones of contention.

Armenia and Allies
rrom the Philadelphia Ledgerl


The head of the Armenian Ma
tional Council, Boghos Nubar Pasha,
requested that the British govern
ment would let the truth be known
REGARDING the conduct of the Ar
Imenians at Baku, and Lord Bryce,
lin transmitting the request to the
Foreign Office, added his own ear
nest word of remonstrance. After
Irehearsing the story of Armenian S
suffering and of the service which
the afflicted people have rendered
the cause of the Allies, Lord Bryce
saws: "It would be a grave discour-
agement to the Armenians, both in
France and in European Russia, who
are doing their best for the Allied
cause, were it supposed that stig-
ma was being placed on the Armen-
Ii ian nation as whole.
The Baku Armenians were help
less in the clutch of the Turk. The
iconduct of these Armenians-whom
Lord Robert Cecil calls "an isolated
Iremnant'-was the cunning of the
weak. Against their detection in
the face of overwhelming numbers
must, in all fairness, be placed the
consistent loyalty of Armenians else
where to the cause of the Allies.
The Armenians have for centuries
been an utterly unmilitary folk.
lThey have adhered to a literal full
fillment of the biblical precept, and
have turned the other cheek to the
Ioppressor. When they would have
made a protest effectual by force
of arms, the Turks, in fear of an
uprising, have deprived them of all
weapons In the present crisis,
nevertheless, they have developed an
efficient body of troops which brave
lily fought under General Andranik
lin the Caucasus.

NOT A ONE-MAN NATION

rrOW far do the personal admir-
- ers of President Wilson intend
to go with their kowtowing?
The resolution of United States SEN
ator James Hamilton Lewis to place
the Senate o. K. on anything and
everything that the President has
done or may do in the prosecution
of the war or discussion of peace
proposals is the limit. Surely, the
Senate as a coordinate branch of
the government will not sidestep its
responsibility in any such unpreee-
dented manner.
President Wilson may have un-
usual wisdom, but it would be set
ting aside the duty and the solemn
obligation of the Senate to confer
upon the Executive such extraordi-
nary power. He already has quite
enough.
If the greatest parliamentary body
in the world has become mere de-
batting society-a sort of American
reichstag-the country should un-
derstand the situation and permit
the Senate to take an adjournment
until the mental equilibrium of the
country shall have been restored.
So far as Pennsylvania is concerned,
we trust its two representatives in
the upper branch of Congress will
cling tenaciously to the old stand
ards and insist upon their share in
determining the grave problems con-
stantly arising in this crisis.
Ours is not a one-man govern
ment and never will be. We are de-
ing our best to eliminate an autoc-
racy in Europe. Let us be careful
that we do not unconsciously erect
one here. With the day of settle
ment in sight, the Senate must safe
guard as never before its constitu-
tional prerogatives. Indeed, now is
the time when the President should
not only consult our Allies on every
important move, but should also
call into conference on every vital
move the leaders of the Senate and
House, but particularly those of the
Senate, without regard to party or
faction. His countrymen expect him
to do no less.

SAME OLD KAISER
[From the New York Timesl

BY their fruits ye shall know
them. 1t is the Kaiser, the dynas-
ties of the several states, that pro-
pose these not even specious
changes in the German Constitution
They do so on the order or after the
confession of the General Staff. So
the Conservatives in the Prussian
Diet pretend to make great conces-
sion to patriotic duty" in consent
ing to the reform of the Prussian
three-class franchise. That is of no
interest to true democracy. The
Prussian Diet is of little real impor-
tance. The essential German sys-
tenn of legislation is law proposed
and passed substantially by the ex-
ecutive.
1t is not constitutions made or
tinkered delusively by Kings and
Princes and Generals, by Junkerdom,
all the time pretending to wall as If
it were really giving up substance
and not shadow: 1t is not inventions
and pretenses and shams put for
ward in the desperate hope of saw
ing doomed and outworn order; it
is not dilatory motions made in be-
half of criminal government that
can dupe the free nations now on
the point of striking that criminal
down. Free government must be
won by the people, not dangled be-
fore them and then withdrawn by
the becrowned and betitled tribe of
German Bill Slkeses.
The Prussian Junkers consent to
equal franchise Sin order to insure
harmonious front against the
whole world" A Harmonious
front, an elaborately democratic"

tocracy. militarism, Pottsdamery.
As political stage carpenters the
Germans have something of the airy
grace of German diplomatists.

this and paragraph that of the Con-
stitutlon. Germany should strike out
and cast out the Kaiser. and all his
house and works, all the gang of
megalomaniac homicidal imbeciles
that have brought her to ruin.

TO LIVE IN GOLD
(Ancient Italian Lore)

(Ancient italian Lore)
Oh, what is 1t to live in gold?
Some flower first the secret told;
They gave the Suns gold ray away,
And golden flowers they shine to-
day.
Oh, what is It to live in gold.
Those birds that no sweet note Will
hold,
Are golden birds with golden songs.
For what they give to them belongs.
AS by its gifts the heart is known,
What we give most is called our
own;
And good bestowed creates a grace,
The heraldy of grand race.
Oh, what is it to live in gold?
The miser's soul, for riches sold,
Is ignorant of wealth like this:
He dies, and never knows the bliss.
Oh, what is It to live in gold?
To live in giving hundred fold,
Gold words, gold deed. the coinage
pure.
OF blessedness' that shall endure.

Charity begins at home" is an old

With great feeling he observes that
there must be many decks OF old

about town that could be diverted
to patriotic uses.
Dear, dearl Doubtless there are
many dog-earod poker decks that
might be so diverted. There may
be stale cigars, too, and broken po-
ker chips untitled to the uses of gen.
tlemen who frequent political clubs
but good enough for soldiers at the
