LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PRAISES THE TELEGRAPH
he Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
I want you to know how much I
appreciate the publication of the
story of tho dastardly way in which
the sons of Frank l.. Jefferson were
treated by the president of Diokin-
son College, The forward stand of
the Telegraph in this matter will be
far more helpful to the decent, self
respecting colored people of central
Pennsylvania than Is Immediately
manifest and will cause the propa-
gandists who are spreading the virus
of southern race prejudice in Penn
sylvania to hesitate in their nefari-
Gus practices
The colored people of this city
are proud of these two boys, who
were so grossly humiliated by the
president of Dickinson College, as
their curtesy, integrity and ambi-
ton endeared them to all those who
know them.
Again thanking you for your real
American attitude and hoping for
you and your great paper prosper
ity, 1 am,
Very Truly Yours.
FRANK n. ROBINSON.

High Price to Patriots
[From the Binghamton PressJ

ltrom the Blnghamton Press1
There has been no lack of praise
for the riveters who have broken
speed records in our shipyards
Their patriotism is not to be ques-
toned, and there isn't the slightest
doubt that they are performing a
patriotic service second only to that
of the men at the front.
But there is another side to this
patriotic picture. and it comes in
the announcement that one loyal
riveter in the South Chicago ship
yard put in an eight-hour day on
Sunday and drew down S64 for his
particular effort in making the
world safe for democracy.
Now $64 a day for driving rivets
is, of course, exceptional. But $40
month for fighting in France Is
also exceptional. The war has pro-
duced both jobs. And the ordinary
observer can't make himself believe
that the two jobs are equally worthy
of praise.
The shipworkers are to be COM
mended for their zeal. But when
they make more in q day than our
men at the front make In @ month,
they can't expect the ordinary citi-
zen to grow RED in the face from
cheering them for their sacrifice on
the altar of liberty.

The Treaty With Italy
[From the Boston Globe1

BY the treaty which now goes to
the United States Senate, the Italians
living in this country are included
in the terms of the Selective Service
Act.
The provisions of the treaty are
understood to be similar to those al
ready concluded with the govern
ments of Britain, France and Greece.
Much of it's operative force has.
however, been anticipated by vol
untary enlistment of the Italians
both in the armies of Italy and in
our own. Many an Italian lad from
American city or farm has been
fighting on the Italian front since
the beginning of the war, or on the
western front since Americas 0n-
try into it.
AS regards population figures, this
treaty brings a larger group of ma
tionals under our Se1ective Service
Act than any of the other instru-
ments, not even excepting Great
Britain. In the first registration for
the draft, between the ages of 21
and 81, the British subjects num-
bered 119,184 and the Italians 245,-
679. The census of 1910 gives the
number of Italian-born residents in
the United States as 1 1,343,125.
There has never been the least
question of the loyalty of our Ital-
ian citizens They have borne their
share of the burden, human and
financial. The treaty is little more
than the formal affirmation OF a
union which already exists.

EASILY SEEN THROUGH

TOHN A. McSPARRAN and Will
81 liam T. Greasy, the twin -kaisers
of the Pennsylvania State
, Grange, are good Democrats, but that
is no reason why they should use the
State Grange name in their effort
, to put across Democratic propa-
ganda. Vance c. Mccormick has
announced his opposition TO the
proposition to bond Pennsylvania for
s5o,o00,000 so that Pennsylvania can
be given the best highway system in
America. This proposition is be-
fore the voters November 5. In
less it be approved it cannot be
taken up for five years. In the
meantime Pennsylvania would wal.
low in the mud.
But the point here is that the
Messrs. McSparran and Greasy hdve
followed orders given them by DEM
ocratic National Chairman McCor-
mick and are helping him fight his
battles against the Republican
party. They have 'yessed" McCor-
micks bond issue opposition. The
time has come for the voters of
Pennsylvania finally to put an end
TO the pretensions of Mr.. McCor-
mick and his "me-too' auxiliaries.
Keep Politics Out of the Grange
is song sung at meetings of subor-
dinate Oranges. The rank and file
of the Grange members are not
aware that the Messrs. McSparran
and Greasy are Mccormick con-
trolled Democrats. 1t is time they
be told.
Pennsylvania must have better
roads.
The s5O,OOo,Oo bond issue must
pass in November.
Then the 1919 legislature Will pass
the legislation necessary before the
bonds are issued.
The bonds will not be issued un-
til after the war.
The certain election of Senator
Sproul as governor will insure the
wise, careful statewide expenditure
of the money.
And when the industrial recon-
struction period comes 1ftsc the war
Pennsylvania will be able to take
care of workmen who may be idle.
All good citizens will vote for the
bond issue November 8.

Rubber Outrubbered

heaps before the by-products engt-
neer got hold of them, it has been
actually nuisance which had to be
got out of the way with as little
expense as possible.
When this state of affairs came
to his attention, our man got a
supply of fish scale, and investigated
its structure and operties-purely
by second nature, because it was a
waste product. But when he found
that it was a cellular mass. of tub
ular structure, as resilient as rubber
but much tougher, and that it made
no difference at all what kind of a
fish it came from, his interest in it
ceased to be one based on general
principles. He at once tried it out
as a base for his cherished re-en-
forced rubber, and found that it
worked like charm; it made the
rubber tough, without robbing it of
its elasticity.
This of itself would have been
sufficiently pleasing; but the final
which came later, by
sheer accident, made it look like
the proverbial three-tenth of dol
lar. Rubber is hardened, or vulcan
lied, by treating it with sulphur. To
make long story stort; the inven-
tor discovered that fish-Scale would
take the same sulphur treatment,
with the same result. So after he has
rubberized his fish-scale and got a
tough, elastic fabric, he can vulcanize
the combination, and get a hard,
tough, elastic fabric.
He has accordingly taken out as
broad patent protection as he could
induce his Uncle Samuel to give
him, and is now busily engaged in
finding out just how far he can go
in the rubber business with his new
material. The most exhaustive tire
tests have had no effect upon his
optimism save to increase it; and
indeed, when a man begins TO Ialk
about a rubber that shall be far
harder and far tougher than rubber
has ever before been made, without
loss of resiliency, it would seem that
he has something to talk about"

The War Account
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence JournalI
In the current Yale Review G.
Reinold Noyes, writing entertaining
ly and instructively under the title,
"Fallacies of War Finance re-
minds us of certain elementary eco
nomic principles which, because they
are not and cannot be abrogated,
may serve to assure us that the ma
ton is riding on an even keel while
passing through the financial storm
which war conditions raise.
The estimated needs of the Gov
ernment for the coming year amount
to s24.OOO.OOO,OOO. But, as this
writer points out. the proposed ex-
penditure is nothing more than a
measure of our assumed productive
capacity. One of the ablest finan-
ciaI authorities in the Senate has
expressed doubt that we can use so
much money, for the physical rea-
son that all the capital and all the
labor in the country cannot produce
the volume of goods tie appropria-
tions would call for at the most ex-
cessive level of prices.
At any rate, the goal set for us
is to produce gods and render serv-
ice to the value of $4,000. 600, 600.
Because monev or its representative
of such convenience that
it is regarded as essential to the
exchange of commodities, we think
in those terms. and so may become
confused in our estimate of real
values. The national wealth we are
mobilizing for the prosecution of
the war is money only in a negli-
gible proportion. What we are put
ting in is our capacity for produc-
ton, goods and service.

So" is editorially announced
by The Scientific American. The
editor prefaceS his account by the
statement that this invention is typi-
cal of many that are appearing just

type of engineer is the utilization of
hitherto worthless by-products. No

can do is to devise new combina-
uons of it; and this particular work

that which has always been con-
Sidered useless. 1t is this kind of
worker who has just discovered a
way to make rubber harder, tougher,
and more elastic by combining it
with a hitherto valueless by-product.

1t is the fashion for politicians
those of the variety known as

cheap, because they come high
to sneer at the newspapers of the
country These critics are given to
thinking in terms of the individual
They fail to see that the strength of
the newspaper is found in it's posi-
ton as reflector of public sentiment,
not as eXpressor of the views of the
person who happens to formulate in
writing the expression of that senti-
ment. Recent events should teach
those critics a much-needed lesson.
A recent development has shown
how accurately the newspapers of
the country, taken as a whole, re-
fleet the sentiments of the American
people. To them the diplomatic
move that looked like furnishing the
opening for the discussion for which

were at, the beginning some lag
gards-these held back by the hero
worship which is the influence most
insidious in a republic; but just as
soon as. these laggards sensed the
overwhelming sentiment of the peo-
pie against any suggestion of an
armistice upon terms short of the
Huns unconditional surrender, they
also Joined the demand for "uncon-
ditional surrender"
1t is an old and familiar saying
that "Alrs well that ends we'll" The
demand of the American people is
voiced by the Presidents note to the
German government of October IA:
1t would be too much to say that the
credit for the taking of this epochal
step belongs to the American press;
1T Is not too much to say that the
credit belongs to the American peo-
pie whose views were so clearly re-
f1ected by the American press.
