Americanize Them, Say
Senator'S on Return From
Pittsburgh Investigation

Washington, Oct. 14.-The visit of
the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor to the Pittsburgh indus
trial district bids fair to have a more
far reaching effect than the mere in
vestigation of the steel strike. Upon
the return of the committee to Wash
ington movement at once was start
ed to put through legislation for the
AmericaniZation of foreigners in
the United States.
In the mill districts about Pitts
burgh the committee had found that
the strike order had to be printed in
many foreign languages. that thou
sands of employees of the steel mills
could not speak English. and that
they had no proper conception Of
condition the committee returned
unanimously resolved to support some
of the Americanization measures now
pending before Congress.
1t is probable that not only educa-
tion. but naturalization and immigra-
ment. Mill owners who were asked
their opinion as to the advisability of
cutting off immigration for period.
replied that If this was done the mills
would have to close down. but in spite
of that there is a strong sentiment in
favor of putting up the bars tenn
porarily.
When the Senate committee will be
able to submit a report on the steel
strike is a matter of speculation, Sem
ator Kenyon. the chairman. yesterday
stated that it is hoped an opportunity
will be had to visit Gary and other
Western mill districts where the
strike is reported to be more general
thar about Pittsburgh. though no
plans have yet been made.

French Child Pianiste
to Give Recital Here

Harrisburg is to be favored by the
appearance of the gifted child pian-
iste of France, Mile. Brard, who will
be the soloist in this city with the
New York Symphony Orchestra at
Chestnut street auditorium on the
afternoon of November 1. This lit
tie daughter of France will be an in
spiration and stimulus to all Ameri-
can children and students of music.
Magdeleine Brard is now just 16
years of age, having had her first
appearance with the Paris orchestra
at the early age of IA, when she
played Beethoven's &c Major Con-
certo." This was the beginning of a
series of triumphant appearances in
her own country, after which she
toured Spain where she was greeted
everywhere by most enthusiastic
audiences. Mile. Brard was heard in
this country last year in few of the
larger cities, and in New York she
aroused a furore by her brilliant
playing and great interest in her un-
usual career.
Through the courtesy of the
French American Association for
Musical Art, and as the special rep
/ esentative of the French govern
ment in things musical, Mile. Brard
comes to America.
With such an unusual soloist add
ing much interest to the superb pro-
gram as arranged by Walter Dam
rosch, the conductor of the New
York Symphony Orchestra, all pat
rons of good music should grasp this
opportunity to honor soloist and or
chestra alike before they leave this
country for n tour of Europe as the
first representative America orches-
ira to play in European countries.
A special feature of the program
will be the rendition of Mr.. Dam
rosch's own arrangement of the
well-known and also well-loved
Largo" by Handel in response to re-
quests of Harrisburg music lovers.
A request was also received for the
famous Concerto in G. Minor" by
nt-Saens, which has also. been
granted, and will be played by Mile.
Brard with the orchestra.
Because of the demand for tickets
from neighboring towns and the To-
cal demand, the management has
decided to open the seat sale at
once to furnish satisfactory service.
A large number of student tickets
are now available, and can be sup
piled to the local teachers of music.
Blocks of seats will be reserved for
schools and colleges as orders are
placed. Mail orders should be ac-
by check made payable
to Salome Sanders, manager, care of
c. M. Sigler, inc, 80 North Second
street, Harrisburg, Pa. These orders
will be filled in the order received.

Fur Robbers Wound
Policeman and Civilian
in Big Gun Fight

Philadelphia, Oct. ID. - A series
of daring crimes of the last few
months reached a high point yes
terday, in revolver battle between
police and thieves, in which one
policeman and a civilian were badly
injured and two of the bandits cap
tured. The gunplay occurred at
Twenty-first street and Colum bia
avenue, following a robbery of furs
two blocks away.
Aroused by the robberies of fur
stores, jewelry places and other
stores which have netted thieves
tens of thousands of dollars, busi-
ness organizations in all parts of the
city are urging extra precautions
against the depredations and at spe-
cial meetings will call on the police
for adequate protection.

Washington, Oct. IA. - Another
three-hour attack on the Shantung
provision by Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska, and ten minute
speech of the same character by
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho,

Quoting from the reports of mis-

Korea, Senator Norris said it was
the purpose of the Japanese Gov

Asia and that the United States
would be aiding in that attempt if
it acquiesced in the Treaty proposal
to extend Japanese rule over Shan

Gold and the Elastic Dollar.

Prof Irving Fishers comments are always
interesting, and his conclusions illuminating,
therefore he will be heard for his argument as
to the relation of the price OF gold to present
high prices Dr. Fisher champions the idea
that it is to the inhexibility of the money value
of gold that existing price difficulties may be
ascribed; that if the gold dollar were not fixed
and stationary, the purchasing power of the
dollar could be stretched or contracted to suit
changing needs.
This much is clear enough as a theory, but
the end to be attained must in practice be
achieved in another way The imitation of
currency that has so greatly reduced the pur-
chasing power of the dollar is not due to the
rigid value of gold but to the uncertain pur-
chasing power of the credit dollar, which in
trinsicaly bears only remote relationship to
the metal money and yet, like Hamets mil
dewed ear" eats the life out of the healthy one.
More than three and one-half billions of credit
money are in circulation; a short time ago in
congress Representative Andrews disclosed the
fact that 81 ,50O000,000 of fiat currency had been
put out by the Federal Reserve banks although
this is being gradually retired.
This enormous volume of paper money,
which is founded on credit alone, has been the
big factor in the shrinkage i'll purchasing power.
Calling a bushel of wheat So does not create
an additional kernel of wheat, can any
process of legislative necroinancy provide a
roof to shelter another family. Whatever por-
ton or phase of the existing monetary mischief
may be properly chargeable to the lessened
value of gold, it must be remembered that the
shrinkage complained of has been brought
about by the emission of enormous quantities
of credit currency. When this is reduced or
retired, as it must be in time, the gold standard
will be found unimpaired. The only anomaly
presented is that gold has gone down or rather
has not gone up along with the other things,
but this is because the credit of the govern
ment is now supporting the credit of the in
dividual, condition that may not always per-

Crusade Against
Tobacco

Monroe, Neb., Aug. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: In the Sunday
issue of your paper. August 8, APP
peared a news item quoting the as
ISOLATION opposed to national pro-
hibition as declaring that the w. c.
T. U. had declared war upon to-
bacco since the advent of prohibi-
ton upon the grounds that it was
a vicious and filthy habit, render
ing fathers unfit for childish
caresses, etc.
AS superintendent Of anti-nar
cotics for the Nebraska Women S
Christian Temperance Union l beg
leave to fully state our position on
this subject. We are and have been
for years opposed to the use of to-
bacco because Of its injurious effects
to the human system, especially the
growing child, due to its narcotic
nature. This campaign of education
has upon its own merits aroused
sufficient interest to bring to pass
the enactment Of the scientific in
struction law which requires that
the effects of alcohol and other mar
cotics (of which tobacco or nicotine
is one) be taught in every school
in Nebraska. We have given and
still continue to give prizes for es-
says upon these subjects from both
the economical and health stand
point.
We are not seeking to infringe
upon the privileges of the present
or coming generation, but are trying
through education to discourage its
use. Neither are we teaching chill
%r 1aa;,- fot y
may be users of tobacco. Does not
the association realize that many of
us are living happily with these
same fathers who are in many cases
as interested in keeping the boys
as we?
That we are raising our Jubilee
fund for this purpose Is true only in
part, as this great union of organ
lied mother love has many other
fields of activity which need funds
However, it takes fire to fight fire
We need money to present the truth
about tobacco through the press.
The day is past when the papers
can give free space, no matter how
much they may agree with a given
cause. The tobacco trust has I'M
limited funds at it's disposal. How
could it otherwise fill page after
page with its advertisements, |
might even say propaganda, so cum
ningly worded that it would seem
that the use of tobacco was the only
gateway to success or the pursuit
of happiness. Neither does it hest
tate to send distributors to every
door to distribute samples. Is not
its one purpose to increase consumD-
ton? The cigaret has leaped into
popularity because of this campaign,
in spite of the fact that science
proves it detrimental to the physical,
mental and moral man-corpora-
tons hesitate to employ it's ad-
dicters, colleges and high schools
hold it responsible for lowered
scholarship, athletes will have none
of it, and so we might continue.
In consistency with our campaign
for better babies, our future citi-
zens and SO on we can do nothing
but oppose the use of tobacco by
the growing child We are working
in the interests of American child
hood. Can the association say as
much?
Thanking for this opportunity of
presenting this to your readers, l
am, Very sincerely

REAL REFORM VS.. MOVIE STUNTS.

1t is homely adage that the housemaid
who strs up the dust most furiously is not al
ways the one who keeps the room tidiest So
in this Juror of public officials in response to
the outcry against excessive living costs
through profiteering, the most spectacular per-
former is not necessarily the one accomplishing
something tangible for relief from objection
able conditions.
The pity of it is the OVERRIDING of the job is
too apt to produce reaction that will leave
people with a feeling of helplessness, make
them resigned to submit tamely to many evils
that could be at least mitigated if not removed,
by more common sense procedure.
By way of practical application, right here
in Omaha, The Bee has been a consistent ad-
vocate of the public market as Statutory
agency for bringing food producer and con-
sumer together and stabilizing prices and we
believe system of public market places, as
maintained my other cities, would be very help

from mistaken viewpoint, in our opinion, as
detrimental to their business interests and it
has never had fair trial in Omaha. The city

Common Sense IN Students

It's splendid idea, if only the test amounts

professor will spend week preparing an ex-

in few hours, when as likely as not the pro-

he not spent a week preparing it. Any man
ought TO be able to work out a set OF questions
that even a college professor couldn't make
10 per cent grade in answering.
We are greatly impressed with the common
sense OF the professors who propose to find
out whether other people have it. One OF
them says that one test will be TO tell at
