MISREPRESENTATION

TTERBERT HOOVER. speaking
n before a gathering of profess
sional men in New York the
other day, said, among other things,
it is his observation that socialism
is on the wane in Europe: that it
has failed wherever it has been tried
and that gradually the people of
European countries are coming to
understand that it cannot be made
to work for the benefit of the public.
Wherever it has been put to the
test production has fallen almost to
the vanishing point, with consequent
idleness of all classes, great reduc-
ton of wages and income, with
economic ruin and starvation facing
millions of people who have placed
their future in the hands of advo-
Gates of socialistic forms of gov
ernment.
Mr.. Hoover has been President
Wilson's right hand man in many
difficult circumstances. At no time
has he failed. He has done more
to popularize President Wilson in
the warswept areas of Europe than
has Mr.. Wilson himself. He is a
hard-headed man of affairs and his
judgment is generally good. 1t
might have been thought that under
the conditions Mr.. Wilson would
have placed much weight on Mr,
Hoover's beliefs, but apparently such
is not the case. For example, Presi-
dent Wilson in appointing twenty
two men Ito represent the public"
at the conference to be held in
Washington for the consideration OF
labor and industrial problems, has
named Edward Russell, on q number
of occasions socialistic candidate for
governor of New York, and John
Spargo, who has been active as a
socialist lecturer, writer and worker
| for many years. To be sure, Spargo
has recently displayed some COM
mon sense as to the practical work
ing out of the doctrines he in his
earlier years advocated. but still he
and Russell are both out-and-out
socialists. They represent a politi-
cal doctrine that Mr.. Hoover says
has failed in Europe. 1t is as fool
ish to call them into conference al
Washington as it would to have two
quack doctors lecture before a con-
vention of physicians who are
specialists in their lines.
The President has an unfortunate
habit of naming little men for bis
| jobs. 1t would seem that in the
choice of twenty-five men "to rep
resent the. public" at so important
a conference he might have choser
representative citizens rather thar
radicals whose policies and opinion!
have failed to work out under tn,
most favorable conditions.

w barsns % aEATnS; bureau sP'So Of Of smoke H'6iS
regulation, in an otherwise
Der of Commerce yesterday, left
his audience under a misapprehen-
sion, the Telegraph believes. He
said that in the early days of his
campaign for smoke prevention in
Pittsburgh the newspapers of that
city declined to give the project
their support, for the reason that
their advertisers did not wish them
TO do so. but that now, because
their advertisers want it, they are
doing excellent work in the move
ment to make Pittsburgh q clean
city.
Mr.. Porter ought to know, If he
does not, that the interests of the
dividual are the concern of every
influential newspaper. Not a day
passes that every newspaper worthy
of the name does not tramp on the
toes of some one OF its advertisers.
1t is very much to be suspected
that what Mr.. Porter mistook for
subservience to advertisers was
really a mistaken loyalty of the
newspapers to the basic industry OF
their community, they fearing that
smoke prevention might also mean
industrial extinction or unnecessary
hardship.
Speaking for itself, and judging
Mr.. Porter's remarks on the Pitts
burgh situation from that stand
point, the Telegraph can say that
1t is constantly endeavoring to pro-
tect the legitimate interests of its
advertisers, but that primarily its
influence is everlastingly thrown
on the side of the community, and
that, il the interests of any of its
advertisers are opposed to those OF
the community at large, the mere
fact that a patron may be offende ed
does not alter the newspapers at.
htude toward the duty it manifestly
owes the public The Telegraph
does not believe that Mr.. Porter
thinks the newspapers of his home
city are any less devoted to the in.
/ terests of their community than the
Telegraph is to the best interests o.
Z Harrisburg.
Incidentally. it may be mentioned
The Telegraph is highly favorable t
the abatement of smoke in Harris
burg. and it has not consulted any
body In reaching a decision to sup
port the movement

those things needful for life and the
luxuries which all of Us to some
extent enjoy. But when we go be-
low that standard we are in danger.
And when we produce less than our
capacity during an eight-hour day
we are not giving a fair return for
our wages. and the result in the
great world of supply and demand
is the same as though we had
worked only six or seven hours
Although we may not believe so.
the fact nevertheless remains that
we ourselves suffer from the effects
of our own idleness, IL we persist
in it, The man who does not work
does not eat, unless he does so at
the expense of somebody who does
work.
It is not so much the things that
we do while we are at work that
hurt us as the things which we do
during our period of leisure. So long
as work is healthful. 1t can be made
enjoyable. The man whose mind
is on his work is usually a happy
man. He is entitled to a living wage
and the opportunity of laying some
thing aside for a rainy day, but in
return therefor he ought to be
willing to give a fair days work for
fair days pay. and to work at
least as many hours a week as will
guarantee his fair production of the
things which the world must have
If it is to continue to live.
The trouble with the present
period is that all of us seem to be
trying to get, and are forgetting the
other important essential. to give.
1t is not only more blessed to give
than it is to receive. but we must
give in full return for everything
we get if the world is to continue to
stand.
Production and still more produc-
ton is the crying need of the hour.
No matter how high wages go, If
production continues to fall as it
has within the past several years.
we shall still be on the verge of
starvation and our money will still
continue to buy ever less and less
for the dollars we spend.

As to Article X
[David Jayne Hill in the North
American Review1


We may rightly refuse to deal
with any nation that violates inter-
national law until it has made
reparation and acknowledges its
authority. We should, undoubtedly,
bring all our available forces to bear
against any nation that criminally
breaks it's legal engagements; and
we may properly lend such aid as
we are at the time reasonably able
to lend a nation that is the victim
of criminal aggression; but to be-
come the guarantor of possessions
the acquisition of which was iniquit-
Gus, or of the consummation of
future transactions of which we
may not even be aware, is not only
wholly outside our national obliga-
tions, but violative of the only prin-
ciples upon which international
peace and harmony can ever be per-
manently organized. Unless our
ideals are respected, our force and
our resources might prove more
helpful to the true interests of man.

POOR POLICY

S ITS only suggestion as to re-
y duction of the high cost of
living, the administration ask
ed for appropriations exceeding ST.
100000 with which to investigate
and prosecute.
An administration that has done
practically nothing with the power
and funds already appropriated
wanted to take up a collection from
every man, woman and child in
the country to help reduce the cost
of living. And that in the face OF
the undoubted fact that the poll
cies of the administration, more
than any other one thing, have
been the cause of excessively high
costs.
The "cost-plus" plan of govern
ment contracting, the high wages
voluntarily offered on every Govern.
ment job, the waste of labor and
materials on every Government un.
dertaking, the scrambling of the
railroads, the discouragement Of
productive industry, the imitation Of
the currency-all these have tend.
ed to increase the cost of living
And then the administration want
ed $1,500,000 with which to try t.
correct some of its mistakes.

GroWth of Our Cities

Estimates taken on the eve of the
official ten-year census and based
upon reliable reports show a start
ling growth in the population of
American cities. In 1910, the census
showed only four cities in the United
States with one-half million or more
inhabitants. To-day, If the federal
census last year verifies estimates,
there are thirteen.

lished the following table, showing
the estimated growth of the twenty

nine years:
