Advertising Rates Higher.

Again we are forced to the admis-
sion that our advertising rates are
too low as compared to rising costs of
white paper and other printing ma
terials as we'll as labor. This announce
ment should not make necessary any
great amount ofeXplanation to our ad-
vertisers, because they are all business
people of experience and we'll versed in
prices of commodities along all lines.
Printing materials like all other
manufactured and most raw articles
have reached the highest level ever
known Printing establishments, big
and little, are feeling the effects of it
and some are closing there doors and
going out of business to avoid the
struggle. AS long as we can get paper
and other stock we propose to continue
the business. This is an essential bust
ness in any progressive community,
and the men behind it are entitled to
living wage. II we are denied the
latter we can get jobs in other print
ing places that will pay fair wages for
I or 8 hours work and rid us of lot OF
responsibility we now have to carry.
However, we believe we are going to
stick around, and we claim the right
that every business man enjoys to
charge "a living wage over and above
cost of operation.
The following new scale Of advertis-
ing rates go into effect January !, 1920:
Front page advertising, 20 cents per
column inch each insertion.
Advertising on all other pages, II
cents per column inch.

Overruled, but

Clarence Brown, G. S. Andrews, Dan
Mayors and Verlie Wheeler returned
last Friday from their trip to fancy
County for turkeys. They brought no
turkeys home-not even a cottontail.
They report very wet weather all the
way, and both ways. Just as they got
their turkeys located and their plans
laid they had to start back for fear the
roads would become impossible.
Therefore, the motion previously put
and unanimously carried to have q
turkey dinner was overruled.

by a parade led by two drummers,

reputation OF being able to put things
over had gone abroad and that reputa-
ton must be sustained, after which the

We tried to buy it here, but that
was impossible.
1T was a good deal like the pap

I'VE bought the fruit and had it
manufactured into fruit pulp, and
by infinite labor and ingenuity we

we went to England and bought
tin, had that brought to Paris and

Then, having the fruit pulp and
the cans, we went to the Quarter
master and said, For Heavens sake,

Sugar being concentrated form
of food we were allowed to bring
it across the water, and then with
fruit brought from Spain, with
sugar brought from America and

The Top Hat Is Back

[From the Manchester Guardian
The reappearance of the tall hat in
London has already been comm ented
upon, but no one was quite pre-
pared for the completeness of it's
reconquest of Ascot. 1t was not
only the royal enclosure, where moth
ing else was seen except the turbans
of the rajahs, but in the grandstand
nearly half the men wore tall hats.
Just before the war things had be-
come less conventional even at AS
cot, and it was the bookmakers
rather than the grandstand that wore
tall hats. This week the bookmak-
ers nearly all had straw hats-not
Panamas but ordinary boaters.
Another point was the vast num-
ber of tall gray hats, many of them
worn by young men. generally along
with check trousers. The short
black coat, by the way, was hardly to
be seen, and frock coats were COM
mon. There were u few stock ties.
A Piccadilly halter, consulted on
the question, said that the young
dem obilized man of the West End
seems anxious to get a silk hat as
soon as he has put off his steel
helmet. Probably the weight and
STIFFNESS of a tall hat, which used to
potner MIN, seem nothing at all now
after steel headgear. During the
war, he said, men at home liked to
seem as inconspicuous as possible,
and that as we'll as other reasons led
to the internment of the tall hat
However, like many things now, the
supply is not equal to the demand,
and many young men were disap-
pointed this week, and had to wear
their old hats or go without a topper.
This halter did not think that tall
drab hats, although they had many
obvious advantages, would become
generally popular, because they sug-
gested race meetings to most people.
The one class who will not go back
TO the tall hat and rejoices in the
emancipation is the city clerk. His
employer, however, is beginning to
go into the city again in his old
glory.

ARRISBURG will not withhold
II the necessary money to es-
tablish health stations for
the benefit of children in the
crowded districts of the city. Every
American child is entitled to a
fair chance to grow to healthful,
wholesome manhood or womanhood.
Every boy and girl should have sur
roundings conducive to health-sun-
shine, fresh air, clean homes, free
dom from contagious disease and
good food. Unfortunately misfor-
tune, carelessness, lack of ambition
or unavoidable poverty deprive many
little ones of the care and attention
they should have and send them
forth into the world, if perchance
they survive, poorly fitted for sue
cess in the battle of life.
1t is to remedy these faulty con-
give every youngster in Harrisburg
a fair start that the child welfare
work has been undertaken at the
suggestion of Colonel Martin, State
Health Commissioner.
Those who have been making
the survey-volunteer Harrisburg
women, assisted by experts from the
State Health Department-pro-
nounce conditions very bad. They
have asked for money with which to
give unfortunate children a chance.
OF course, we will give the amount
necessary. The sum is small and
the cause as worthy as any that has
come before the people of Harris
burg in many years.
Save the children. They will be
the men and women of tomorrow
and as they develop so will the coun-
try. If they are good, pure, whole
some, healthy and strong, the coun-
try will be also. But if they are
weaklings, physically, mentally and
morally, the future of the Nation
will be dark, indeed.

OF white e-towered ships whose love-

Tall ships with beauty burning high,
sea queens with pride afire.
Their names are borne upon the
winds to the islands of desire:
Queen of the Seas, white Wings, Sea

Their music and their beauty now
with Helens lure are one,
And through the old, sweet cadences
the roaring hammers sing:
Way there, way there, o futile
ghosts, for Quistconck's clat-

The rainbow dreams of old Romance
still drift upon the seas,
And names of old endeavor float in
whispering symphonies:
Rose, Pelican and Golden Hind,
Mayfiower and Morning Star
Hermione and Waterwitch, Day
Dream and Castlebar.
Snow-white were Ariadne's wings,
cloud upon the blue.
Adventure shone upon the flag the
Lady Jocelyn flew.
Their names are perfumes in the
dusk that lead in memories.
Sweet bells that slowly, softly chime
the charm of all the seas;

MIR. HAYS SUMS UP

TTTI ILL H. HAYS, chairman OF
/ wv the Republican National Com
! mittee, has a happy faculty
of reducing complexities to terms so
clear that even the simplest mind
may grasp them. Thus with the
Republican reservations to the pro-
posed League of Nations plan as
it stands. From the reams of dis
cussion, opinion and debate he
summarizes the Republican view
point in the following brief, but very
clear, language:
The situation respecting the
League covenant is simply this:
There must be effective reserva-
tions. These reservations must
safeguard the sovereignty of the
United states in every particular;
must guarantee the Monroe Doc
trirc beyond the shadow of
doubt; must either eliminate
Article y entirely or so modify 1T
that our own Congress shall be
morally. as we'll as legally, free
after a specified period to decide
when and where and to what eN-
tent our soldiers shall be employ
ed: must retain our full control OF
immigration. tariff and all other
purely domestic policies, and must
provide fun right to withdraw
from the League at any time with
out hindrance or conditions OF
any kind. upon giving suitable
notice. 1t is up to the Administra-
tion To decide whether IL VIII or
will not accept these essential
guarantees of American indepen-
dence. which would unQuestion-
ably be promptly accepted oy the
other nations.
Mr.. Hays conclusions and the
points he raises are reasonable. Even
those who helped frame the League
admit that it is far from perfect
that il will not preserve the peace
forever. that it has grave faults and
that it will not herald the millen-
ium." But they hold it to be the
best they could get and therefore
ask us 20 swallow it, hook, bait and
sinker. without so much as pausing
to look it over. However, Mr. Hays
has presented his case most force
fully and it is difficult to see how
Democrats, unless they prefer the
Presidents order to the dictates of
their own consciences, can do other
wise than support the Republicans in
their effort to safeguard the coun-
try by means of reservations and
that would in no
wise weaken the League, but would
save this Nation from unnecessary
meddling and prevent our armies
from being called needlessly into
foreign disputes.
Mr.. Hays cites a platform for Re-
publicans in respect to the party's
position on the peace treaty that
merits the respectful attention of
men of all parties.

The Foreioper

The gull shall whistle in his wake,
the blind wave break in fire,
He shall fulfill Gods utmost will,
unknowing his desire,
And he shall see old planets pass
and alien stars arise,
And give the gale his reckless sail
in shadow of new skies.
Strong lust of gear shall drive him
out and hunger arm his hand,
To wiring his food from desert
nude, his foothold from the
sand.
His neighbors' smoke shall vex his
eyes, their voices break his
rest;
He shall go forth till south is north,
sullen and dispossessed.
He shall desire loneliness, and his
desire shall bring,
Hard on his heels a thousand wheels
a people and a King.
He shall come back on his own
track, and by his scarce cool
camp
There shall he meet the roaring
street, the derrick and the
stamp,
For he must blaze a nations ways
with hatchet and with brand,
TIL on his last won wilderness an
empires bulwarks stand.

who had unusual opportunities for
observing the interchanges at Paris,
and his address following closely
upon the recent interesting narrative
of Lewis Heck, another Harrisburger,
country during the war at Constan-

that the civic bodies of Harrisburg
never overlook an opportunity to en-
tighten the business community upon
the important questions engaging the

The Presidents Address
[From the New York Sun. !

From the beginning to end there
was no discussion, no Interpretation
in the sense required by the grave
and reasonable objections raised
against the unreserved acceptance OF
the covenant. Where there should
have been, explanation there is
naught but eXhortation. Where there
should have been convincing arsu-
ment there is fine rhetoric. Where
the address should have been analy-
tic it is broadly apocalyptic. 1t is
an emotional, idealistic harangue,
not a specific reply to the questions
that are in the minds of so many
of us. From beginning to end the
'eader will meet nothing but disap-
pointment in his search for some
thing new and specific and more
satisfactory to patriotic intelligence
than are the generalities to which
we have become accustomed.

CUT THE BONDS

NIHEN Vance G. Mccormick de-
Wv clared in his address before
three of the city's leading
business organizations at a union
MONDAY luncheon yesterday that the
time had come when business men
should be freed of the restrictions
of Government ownership and con-
troll, from price-fiXing and all the
rest, he stated the position of prac-
tically every intelligent citizen who
is interested in the welfare and pros
perity of the United States. The
governmental bonds have restricted
the initiative of the American busi-
ness man and have been responsible
in large measure for the present
more or less demoralized situation,
and whether Mr.. Mccormick gave
expression to the Washington view
or not, he stated a fact which is
generally recognized in this trying
period of readjustment.
Paternalism was never popular in
the United States and while many
things were done under the stress of
war which would never have been
attempted under normal conditions
the time is here when free and unre-
stricted play must be given the
natural activities of the American
people. Ours is a resourceful Nation
and cannot long endure the restrain
ing hand of central government,
especially when such restraint means
Il retarding of the development of
the country and the prosperity of the
people.
Fresh from the peace conference
Mr.. Mccormick was in position to
interpret the purposes of that body
and to give his fellow townsmen a
clear view of the difficulties which
hedged about the important Paris
gathering. He admitted that he was
not in harmony, from time to time,
with certain of the proposals that
were later incorporated in the COM
pleted document, but candidly stated
that when these points were finally
presented he was compelled to ac-
cept as wise and just the views of
the experienced statesmen who
worked out the final agreement that
is now before the United States Sem
ate and the parliaments of the al
lied countries. There were many
problems to be considered and many
differences to compose from day to
day, but as the conference proceeded
he learned to appreciate the COM
plex character of the negotiations
and to understand how difficult it
was to bring into agreement peoples
of different nationalities and racial
characteristics upon a matter SO mo-
mentous as a treaty of peace.
His fellow townsmen appreciated
the frank discussion of various
phases of the conference by the
chairman of the War Trade Board,
