HONOR OUR SOLDIERS

n REATER HARRISBURG will
T be on its toes for the welcome
home demonstration in honor
OF the returning and returned sol.
| diers. and sufficient time has now
elapsed since the Chamber of Com
merce first considered the matter
some months ago to allow of the
return of most of our soldiers, and
the time fixed for the celebration
during the latter part of the present
month will enable those who are
still absent to get back under the
Government rehabilitation program.
This city and its immediate environs
sent into the war over 5000 of its
picked men. Some made the su-
preme sacrifice, others DISTINGUISHED
themselves in the fighting and still
others manifested the highest spirit
Of patriotism in responding promptly
to the call of Uncle Sam.
So 1t is that the whole community
is ready to honor these men and
demonstrate in a proper and appro-
pirate way the admiration of the
people and their grateful recogni-
ton of those who responded for the
defense of great ideals and the
safety of the country.

house, however, is not exercise, and
IL is by no means a healthy occu-
paton. More severe exercises than
these can be undertaken by excep-
tlonal men who have continued to use
their muscles throughout life. But
there is undoubted danger when vlo-

age after a period of sedentary life.
The chief danger of overstrain

exercise one holds the breath now
and again, a matter of no impor-
tance in youth, but great danger
in late life.
The heart is another danger spot,
and unless it is known to be sound
any great strain should not be nut
on 1t after fifty. 1t is not the risk
or sudden death or paralysis alone
that confronts the man getting on
in years who overstrains himself.

leaves him more or less ill for the

fact to consider is that every part OF

life may not arise until sixty or later
but in the majority 1t is we'll to begin
to be cautious when in the fiftieth

bernatorial office that the occupant
of the chief place on Capitol Hill
is too often enmeshed in disputes
and personal conflicts with which he
should have nothing whatever to do.
The memory of the average citizen
who knows anything about public
affairs will readily recall the unfor-
tunate episodes of several predeces-
sors of Governor Sproul, whose ad-
ministrations were rendered of little
effect in a constructive way through
the intolerable political batting of
the Executive.
And that's why we are mighty
glad Governor Sproul has taken oc-
casion to swat the oyer-zealous or
scheming propaganda concerning
his availability for either the United
States Senate or the White House.
The Governors record in his pres
ent high office will not be hidden
under a bushel. and his future may
be left with confidence to the sew
eral millions of people in this State
who are watching with intelligent
appreciation the development of
policies which were outlined when
he submitted his name for consid-
Grafton a year ago. With his politi-
cal temperature, as he cleverly sus-
gests. normal and his vision of future
usefulness unobstructed by personal
ambition, the head of the State gov
ernment will not be turned by any
suggestions of future honors.

the war was about over so
far as interference with normal
| activities was concerned. Within
the last few days, however, we have
been given another unpleasant re-
minder of the uncomfortable situa-
tions created by government con-
troll and operation of the railroad
lines.
Notwithstanding the fact that no
great war buildings or roads are be-
ing constructed, as was the case
during the active period of hostili-
ties, the Federal bosses of the rail-
road systems have upset the great
road building campaign of Pennsyi-
vania by delaying deliveries OF
crushed stone so necessary to the
construction of modern highways.
Contractors all over the State are
demoralized as a result of this diff
Guilty.
State Highway Commissioner
Sadler is naturally disappointed
over the condition of affairs. mas
much as throughout the summer the
| construction work under the big
State contracts was more or less in
| terfered with by unfavorable condi-
tions. And just when things began
to look brighter this unexpected
hardship comes along.
It's going to be hard for the Wash
ington authorities, in their bungling
OF the railroad systems, to persuade
the people that it is necessary in a
time of peace to upset the activities
of a great State in the building of
roads which are presumably being
! encouraged by the national authori-
I ties.
But Pennsylvania is going to have
its fine road systems just the same.
Nothing is going to permanently in
terfere with the road program so
admirably worked out by the State
Highway administration. Commits
sioner Sadler has a lot of patriotism
in his system. as we'll as lot of eff

velop some plan which will yet over

President Wilson forgot that Ger.
many is not to be admitted to the
League of Nations for some years,
so that his peevish appeal not to be
compelled to go to Weimar, hat IN
hand, begging for German consent
to changes, reservations, or amend
ments, was all extraneous and based
on lack of knowledge of an item
of major Importance in the Cove
nant.
President Wilson, in replying to
Senator Lodge, said that trade with
Germany had not been resumed"
The official record shows that the
State Department, on July IA. 1919,
authorized resumption of trade re-
lations with Germany and that
many shiploads OF merchandise
have been cleared from American
ports for German ports. The Presi-
dent must have had knowledge of
this proclamation. Did he forget"
These incidents show how little tho
representative of our government
knows of some mighty important
matters, concerning which he was

with equal responsibility, be blamed
for hunting for information where

AS long ago as when Charles ].
Bonaparte. of Baltimore, was Sec
retary of the Navy the files of his
office show that Carl Wheaton. of
Waltham, arrived in Washington to
submit plans for the use of gas
in warfare. He went before both
the Army and the Navy. His pro-
posal to the Army was for the firing
of gas shells. substantially as used
in the late war. His proposal to
the Navy involved the use OF a sub
marine and the boring of a hole in
the bottom of a battleship for the
injection of gas.
The Army authorities, at that
time, held. that it would be impos-
sible to pollute the atmosphere with
enough gas to have any military
effect. The Navy authorities con-
tended that it would be like putting
salt on a birds tail to get under q
battleship and inject the gas. So
Wheaton spent some months in
Washington in useless efforts to at
tract attention.
Although he died several years
ago. he lived long enough to see his
idea applied in actual warfare. The
story of his submissions comes to
US from one OF the officers of the
Navy Department who sympathized
with his association at, the time In

TWO TRUTHS

rRANK STOCKDALE, speaking
n at the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon yesterday, said that
liberal buying" has had much to
do. with price raising. He might
have gone a step further and said
extravagant buying is the most seri-
GUS evil of the present commercial
situation, and not have stretched the
truth.
1t is human nature to buy what
one wants if he has the money in
his pocket, but unless there is some
restraint-some exercise of thrift
and common sense in the expendi-
ture of the weekly pay envelope
prices will remain high. We have
INDUCED in an orgy of buying. Moth
ing has been too high for us to pur-
chase. Silk shirts, fifteen dollar
shoes and the like have found their
way into households that ought not
to have indulged in them. Either We
must be content to go an easier
pace. to demand more reasonably
priced goods or less luxurious quail
ties. or we shall continue to be COM
PEELED to pay the price.
And what Mr.. Stockdale said con-
corning the relation between mu-
nicipal progress and prosperity and
the progress and prosperity of the
retail store also is true. Harrisburg
is a good town because it spends its
money in its own stores and the
stores are good because a great ma
jority of our people buy at home.
Added to our local trade is the vast
volume of retail business that pours
into Harrisburg from the country
roundabout Thus we keep our
money circulating where it will do
us most good. We ought TO en-
courage our merchants in whatever
way is possible. Their stores are the
arteries through which flows the
life-blood of the community.

at will? This is a country OF ma
jorities. If majority of our peo-
pie vote any one way their Will
should be supreme, so that If cir
cumstances should arise making 1t
in the opinion of majority of the
citizens of this country wise to leave
the league their hands should not
be tied.
The peace and safety of the world
lies in the peace and safety of the
United States. The Peace Treaty
must be made safe for the United
States first. 1t is for that we went
to war. Europe will accept what we
insist upon. 1t can do nothing less,
for without us the whole peace
league fails. The Senate will have
the support of the country in its eff
fort to safeguard American inter-
ests.
