"Heah" and "Sick"
[From the Louisville Courier
Journal

lFrom the Louisville Courier
Journal
A young woman who resides in
Christian County writes to the
Courier-J Journal as follows:a
To-day the question arose as to
whether 'Heah for Here and Sick
for Seek are permissible. and good
English, when speaking to dog.
Is either incorrect and if both are
incorrect Which is the more incor-
-ect?"
If Christian County young wo-
man, to the manner born, were
speaking to a bishop and if she had
occasion to use the word here"
she would soften, slur or Slight the
''r" so markedly that to any one
haihng from Cincinnati or any point
in the remote and frigid North be-
yond Cincinnati the "r" would seem
to have been deleted by the censor.
The pagan from the North would
encore the pronunciation and de-
clare it and the belle of the county
faultless. And if he should try for
month, devoting himself to the
effort solely, he would find it i'm
possible to pronounce the word just
as it is pronounced by the perfectly
educated but perfectly 'r"-less
Southern Kentucky girl. If he
were the high priest of the chief
temple of his alien, arctic gods, he
would not object to the pronuncia-
ton of a word so simple and ordin-
airy in q manner SO charming and so
distinctive of the South, but would
worship the gods of the girl forth
with.
1t is true, doubtless, that when
To-
put in here" because usage made
that pronunciation of the word good
English, but the mellowing infiu-
ence of the sun in certain attitudes
softenS the 'r' as surely as it ripens
the pomegranate, causes green buds
"gayly to bourgeon and broadly to
grow into fair and fragrant mag
nolia, blossoms, and .distills upon the
branches of certain trees or bushes
the perfume of the night blooming
jessamine. Christian County lies
within the latitude in which the sun
has this effect. The use of "heah"
to a dog or a bishop is, therefore,
good English and good manners,
provided, of course, in the case of
the bishop it is not employed, as in
the case of dog, as q form or
invitation to dine.
The word sick" is the accepted
form. 1t is perfectly good English.
No dog has been known to resent
its use as against Seek" or to fail to
respond cordially to the familiar i'm
perative.
The word "heah" is not, like
"sick," found in the dictionaries, but

Peace League Suggestion
To the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor OF the Telegraph:
Will you kindly permit me to
make a suggestion to the people of
this community through the col
umns of your valued paper? We hear
much these days about the discus
sions of the proposed League of Ma
tions through the newspapers;
meetings being held or arranged for
all over the country. Why not have
a prominent man come to Harris
burg and give lis first hand dope"
on this all-important subject? 1t
seems to me we are a trifie slow
in that matter. Other cities are get
ting ahead of us in arranging meet
ings with prominent speakers, and
I'm sure Harrisburg doesn't want
to be behind in anything. Couldn't
the Chamber of Commerce take up
the matter or perhaps the State au-
thorities?
1t seems to me it is a sufficient
~ important matter for the Legjs-
lature to take hold of. believe there
are enough people here interested
IN TINS matter to fill a large hall if
you ana other public agencies ad-
Vertise it properly.
Big men of the country differ in
thelr opinions as to the constitution
OF the league, so how can we. the
people, who ordinarily give little
thought to such matters, be expected
10 form an intelligent opinion un-
less we are enlightened by some per-
son or persons who have given il
thought and study. Yet the Senate
OF the United States which is com
posed of our representatives must
pass on it before it becomes effec.
tive.
When that time comes do we want
them to truly represent our opin-
ions on the league or do we want
TO SIT supinely by while they allow
our absentee President to cram If
down their throats and ours? II is
time the people are aroused to the
danger that lies in making a false
move in this all-important world
problem.
For 1t is no less than that and
all due to our self-appointed dicta-
tor, who has temporarily deserted
ms country, and who seems bent ON
carrying out hisspet schemes at any
price to this nation and Irrespective
or the wishes of the people.
Hoping you will give this sugges-
tion consideration, I am
Very truly,
CONSTANT READER.

A MIDWAY ADJOURNMENT

THERE is no reason why the
Legislature of Pennsylvania can
not shape its work to adjourn
on May IS, as now contemplated by
the leaders. The session has been we'll
organized and its members know
their work. When the session began
it was the general sentiment of the
State that there should be q mini
mum of laws enacted and that those
which should be passed should fol-
low we'll defined lines. There has
been no change either in the minds
of the general public or men active
in party affairs.
The bulk of the bills outlined by
Governor Sproul in his inaugural
have either been presented or are
ready. They are all well understood
and announcements concerning
them have met with general appro-
val. The appropriation bills must
be passed. Bills relative to woman
suffrage, compensation, liquor regu-
lation, cities and boroughs, insur-
ance and "oleo," Sunday observance
and other matters appear every ses-
sion and the procedure in regard to
them does not differ from one year
to another. The men who act
change and the same results are not
always obtained, but they form part
of the task.
By buckling down to work and
sticking at it the Legislature can
finish up by the middle of May with
out trouble.

DEATH

The kisses of Death, like scented

For Death is black slave with lit

Perched in a sleeping wreath upon

He will tell me, his voice like

Dropped into a satin bag,
How he has tip-toed after me down
the road,
His heart made a dark whirlpool
with longing for me.

And shall be one of the sleeping,

Between the cold waves of his hair;

The Harrisburg Hospitals annual
"Rummage Sale" should bring to the
surface a lot of submerged household
articles that have been torpedoed or
bombed during the war period, but arc
well worth salvaging. Look through
your trunks. your store rooms and
your garrets. Gather together those
things you no longer need, but which
somebody else may find useful, and
turn them over TO the hospital for
the sale.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

nov. WILLIAM C. SPROUL
(T has made such a success of his
highway improvement program
and has taken hold of the problems
of State government in an important
period with such vigor that every
one will be glad to know that he is
giving personal attention to the bill
to establish a Department of Con-
servation. This proposed branch of
the government would weld together
the State Game, Fishery, Water Su-
pervision and Forestry bureaus or
departments; co-ordinating their ac-
tivities, preventing duplication of ef-
fort in field work. but insuring to
each revenues and powers belonging
to 1t. A general plan and q program
are the things desired.

legislation and overseeing the ad-
ministration there can be no doubt

believed that he will select some one

of governmental matters than the

SUFFERING ARMENIA

.THE churches have been asked
to conduct the campaign for
the relief, of suffering Armen-
ians, and very properly so. The Ar
menians are starving and dying for
their religious faith. 1t is Chris
tianity VS.. Mohammedanism, a con-
test between the cross and the cres-
cent. We in America cannot let
these poor people perish. They must
be saved and it will be a fine thing
to have it made known in Armenia
that their fellow Christians of Amer
lea conducted the campaign that
brought them the food and COM
forts which they so sorely need.

One For "WiconiScO"

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear Sir: Let me suggest that
you give the name "Wisconsico" for
the ship we are to name. This
creek Is a Dauphin county stream,
many sturdy soldiers went from it's
banks to fight and it passes through
out the great coal section. Its an
Indian name derived from Wiken-
kniskeu, meaning wet and muddy
camp site. L come from that part
of the county and think it should
be picked as the name. We had
Swatara in the Civil War, accord
ing to your paper. Now let's have
the upper end of the county name
the ship.

portant port, in fact 1t was the second

come a very unimportant port be-
cause water traffic has practically de-

transportation facilities and rates be-
ing the chief factors.
There has always been a. desire up
on the part of our people to locate
the factory near the region of supply,
but owing to the higher rates from
the east to the intermediate points in
the back haul territory, the very con-
struction of the manufacturing plant
is far in excess of what it would cost
either east or west of said territory
As a consequence, our Eastern Ore
gon country will remain a sparsely
settled country with a few small
mitted to charge less for the longer
haul to the coast than to intermedi-
ate points.
An equalization of the rates
throughout the country will place all
communities upon an absolute equal
ity. 1t will enable the intermediate
sections to manufacture in competition
with the eastern industrial sections.

any ultimate reduction in freight rates

We would have community betterment

duct at home instead of sending the
same to the rate favored industrial
center of the east for manufacturing,
and then returned to us with the cost
of two transcontinental freight hauls

Success of this long-and-short haul
