A Shady "PropoSition"
[From the Philadelphia Record.

tFrom the Philadelphia Rccord.]
If, as has been alleged, Federal
officeholders in Pennsylvania un-
der the protection of the Civil Ser
vice laws have been receiving from
the Democratic State Committee in
formation that I'VE are endeavoring
tu put under way a program that
will need considerable financial as
sistance, and it is one that you need
have no hesitancy in going along
on" coupled with an invitation TO
laid us to the full limit of your
ability" said limit being indicated as
two per cent of the officeholder's
salary, the Democratic State Com
mittee is engaged in a contemplate
enterprise which is no whit more re-
spectacle because corrupt Republi-
can organizations, State and city,
have been practicing it since time
immCmorial.
The macing of offlceholders for po-
litical contributions is based on the
idea that public office is a private
snap which the holder is obliged to
pay an annual bribe to retain. This
view has long since been discredited.
A political party has no more right
TO collect an arbitrary tax from the
officeholder than a policeman has
TO levy graft upon a merchant for
extending to him Illicit privileges.
The Democratic State Committee
must know this. If the practice is
not illegal. why the vague, law
lodging wording of the hypocritical
letter? Why does the secretary of
the committee ask for support for
an indefinite program" an unnamed
proposition" instead of asking
outright for a political contribution ?
Why are the figures representing
the sum demanded marked on the
letters without specific assertion that
( the contribution so indicated is ex-
pected?
The Record" advises the recip-
tents of such letters to retain them
as evidence in the event of further
Developments, but otherwise to pay
no attention to them. An honest
State Committee. Democratic or Re-
| publican, could raise sufficient funds
Tor all legitimate campaign purposes
without blackmailing employees OF
| the Government

lone upon a time some genius
mentality got busy and invented a
most horrible and vile stink" said
Major Frank c. Mahin, of the Army
Recruiting Station, 325 Market street,
Harrisburg. Then along came the
war and we started using anything
and everything that might possibly
help us win the war. The Chemical
Warfare Service in particular was
busy trying out new things and
among them was this horrible stink.
1t was a gas that smelled just as
though a thousand skunks were hav-
ing a regular Donnybrook Fair in
tho immediate vicinity. The gas was
absolutely harmless, if you didn't
happen to have susceptible
stomach, but no one would ever
dream that it didn't mean sudden
death with such a vile odor. OF
course it couldn't be used very
often because the Boche would get
wise. but undoubtedly it might be
valuable once or twice. Great
secrecy was maintained about this
gas until just before the st. Mihiei
offensive and then all troops who
were to participate in the attack
were told about skunk gas The
great attack came off and as our
boys progressed through the Boche
lines in various localities, we ran
into areas which had been shelled
with Skunk gas shells and 1 can
assure you there was no doubt in
any ones mind or nose when they
ran into such an area, Now all
troops had most positive orders that
upon noticing any peculiar odor, gas
I masks would be at once adjusted as
all belligerents were continuously
working to evolve new poison gases
The result of the explosion of a.
skunk gas shell was that every Boche
within smelling distance most hastily
| donned his gas mask and then pro
ceeded to swallow his heart and his
preaklfst. both 'of which had come
! up INTO his throat and started to
pray that his mask would absorb and
protect him from this vile smelling
American invention. Naturally he
was doubtful of the efficiency of his
mask to absorb the fumes, as the
! tendency is to make poison gasses
! as nearly odorless as possible so as
10 prevent their presence being de-
tected. But here was a gas with n
! most horrible smell SO 1t must he
! or frightful potency, to be worth
, using and every dear little Boche
! was petrified with fear. Further. II
/ Is very great disadvantage to have
10 nsht with gas mask on so our
men were given two great advant-
ages py the new gas, they didn't
have to wear their masks-knowirs %
it was armless-and tbev bnS
| greatly added confidence from knew
ing the Boche were terrified. Where
ever the gas went the Boche oI,it
hghting; all they wanted in the
world was to get away from that
vicinity at top speed to save them
selves from the painful and fright
ful death that must assuredlv fol
low the inhalation of any such odor
as skunk gas produced. So even
the perverted genius ultimataIv
helped Uncle Sam win the war"

Roosevelt and the League
New York Sun. I


AS some of the advocates of the
League Of Nations have recently
taken the liberty of saying that
theodore Roosevelt favored the
League of Nations, the Sun believes
1t will be conclusive to reprint the
letter which Colonel Roosevelt wrote
to Sir Henry Rider Haggard a month
before he died. 1t is dated at New
York. December 6. 1918, and reads
thus:
My Dear Rider Haggard: In
moment of pessimism the
other day I said I never wish
ed to hear from any English
man excepting , but that
was because 1 had forgotten you.
L doubt IL l ever again will
go back into public place. I
nave had to go into much and
too bitter truth telling. Like
you, l am not at all sure about
the future. 1 hope that Ger
many has suffered change of
heart. but am anything but GER
tain.
II do not put much faith in
the League of Nations or any
corresponding universal cureall."
With these plain words in mind
there need be no further guessing
about the attitude of Colonel Roose-
welt on this particular subject.

PROFITEERING?

TT THE Government is Offering
the people army provisions at
twenty per cent. benefit the
price paid for them, and these prices
are only a shade below the whole
sale prices of foods on the open
market. doesn't it look as though
there has been some profiteering at
the expense of the Nation during
the war?
This is a matter that will bear
investigation. Instead of paying
more than the private wholesaler
the Nation should have bought
much cheaper. It looks. however,
as though the purchasing agencies
of the army bought first and asked
PRICES afterward-which is very
poor business. indeed.

Trade Briefs

A factory for the manufacture of
chinaware will open shortly at
Porto Allegro, in the State of Rio
Grande do Sui, Brazil.
The British Board of Trade has
published instructions to ship sur
veyors in regard to the arrange
ments for preventing boats falls
from fouling when they are being
recovered.
A restriction of 25 per cent. in
the planting of sugar in Java in
order to increase the output of rice
has reacted advantageously on the
Japanese sugar industry. Many
capitalists are keenly interested in
sugar just now. in view of the eX-
pected continuation of prosperity.
Increased activity is shown in the
Japanese petroleum industry. Drill
ing for oil is soon to start in the
naval oil reserve fields in Formosa,
as we'll as in Nairyo and Kosempo.
The Akita Mining College is to in
augurate a course in petroleum en-
gineering, which is said to be the
first of it's kind in Japan.
A list of the principal leaders of
Sweden who have given evidence of
their desire to trade with American
firms has been received from Con-
sui George d. Hopper of Stockholm.
Copies of this list may be obtained
from the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce or it's district
and cooperative offices upon re-
ferring to File No. 1906.
The rubber trade of Japan is re-
ceiving quite a revival. During the
four years of the recent war there
was a gut in this market which
was primarily caused by Germany
and Austria (who had been large
importers Of rubber) being COM
PEELED to discontinue buying in the
East. When the United States
placed an import embargo on this
! commodity the glut in the japanese
market became more acute.

u United States Public Health
Service dealing with the prev

SAVE THE CHILDREN

TOTHING more important has
N been attempted in the way
of welfare work in Harris
burg than the present survey Of
child conditions by volunteers asso-
ciated with trained nurses under the
direction of the State and city health
departments Colonel Edward Mar
tin. as the genius and leader of the
health and sanitation activities Of
the Commonwealth. is determined
that Harrisburg, as the capital, shall
have clean and Wholesome surround
ings, not only for the adults, but al
so for the little children. The plan
and scope OF his campaign now un-
der way appeals TO all intelligent
people as part of a great movement
for the substantial betterment Of
the community.
Just in proportion as the babies
and the little folks under the age
of six are given a proper start in
life will the city prove its worth in
the generation of which they are the
beginning and the hope.
Already the survey has uncover
ed many deplorable things and Har-
risburg must realize its obligation
under the circumstances. We can
not hope to have a healthful city
with canCerous sores existing in the
midst of unhealthful districts and
where the people are in some cases
so situated as not to be able TO help
themselves.
The good women who are CO.
operating with the trained nurses in
this survey are giving consecrated
service in a cause which cannot be
too greatly magnifed. inasmuch as
it affects the most vital interests of
the city.
1t is the sort of public service
which is free of all unfortunate re-
actions because those interested in
the work are giving their time and
effort out of a lofty sense of per-
sonal obligation to their fellowmen
and women. All the agencies for
good are being employed wherever
necessary in relieving intolera BILE
conditions here and there, and in CIV
ing medical and surgical aid and
professional advice where needed.

A Little AdDice on w. w.
[From Harvey's weekly.l

The dear old Springfield Republi-
can screws up the remnant of its
courage sufficiently to remark:
"It may appear exceptionally dar-
ing TO offer advice to man who
is now generally supposed never to
accept such offerings, but our bit
of common counsel to the President
is to call off his speaking tour, seek
a conference with the elder states
men of the Republican party and
propose that they attain a domesti-
Gated peace without violence con-
cerning the covenanted peace of the
world (Paris edition) before the
Senate goes into prolonged convul-
sions of debate on the question of
ratification"

Cut Out NIiddIenan

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
l have been reader of the Tele-
graph for years. About cutting the
living cost, l will give you a few
suggestions. In the first place cut
out the middleman. There Is too
much of that business going on. He
is the fellow that fixes the price.
In the second place snub the party
who is asking exorbitant prices
Shun him like you would a snake.
Refuse to buy from him until the
price is reasonable. There is too
much price fixing.
I read an article in this weeks
issue of the Telegraph where the
farmers say they must pay big
prices for their feed and seeds. If
he is a practical farmer or trucker,
he will raise his own feed and seeds
for replanting. If he cannot do that
he should not term himself as either.
But the poor farmer is not making
any money. Oh, no! Five years
ago he came to market with an old

When the cut-out offenders fall
into the hands of the local magis-

there should be little mercy shown
them. They have been warned times
