NO TIME TO TINKER

n n OST members of the Legisla-
W ture, it is to be imagined, will
agree with Senator Penrose
in his views as to the ina6visability
of tampering with the election laws
at this particular time. 1t is true
that there is much dissatisfaction
with the nonpartisan judiciary law
and nobody who knows anything of
conditions will contend that the nom
partisan municipal act has removed
city government from politics. But
those facts aside, there is little to
be gained by tinkering with election
regulations during the present legis-
lative session.
To begin with, the nonpartisan
and uniform laws were enacted in
response to popular demand and
there are thousands of voters who
would oppose their repeal Indeed,
there is no widespread sentiment
for any radical election changes at
this time. and however worthy the
am ndments or revisions might be,
they would only excite discussion
and create differences ut a time
when every mans effort ought to be
to create confidence and to calm the
more or less disturbed public mind.
Later we may go more deeply into
election law changes, but not now.

Wilson'S TdctleSs Zeal

lFTom the Chicago Evening Post.
The President displays a tactless
zeal in his advocacy of the League
of Nations. A great cause suffers
from a championship that is not
sufficiently considerate of opponents
and the unconvinced. Men are pre-
vented giving to the issue che un-
biased study it merits by the in
lection of a personality that Of
fends.
President Wilson is not wise in
assuming that the Senate is going
to ratify the peace treaty and the
League of Nations pact merely be-
cause in his belief it should. The
Senate is not obliged to accept. the
views of the President. 1t was not
created by the constitution to be a
White House echo. 1t is a body
representative of the sovereign
states, whose delegated sovereignty
resides in the national government
1t was charged with the RESPONSE
bility for making treaties in order
that the sovereign states might have
the final word in matters affecting
the foreign relations of the Nation
1t is right that it should be con-
suited, that it should be informed
and that it should be heard in dis
cussion, enlightened by all the facts.
The President counts upon popular
sentiment. We believe popular sem
timent, if rightly led and educated,
Will approve Overwhelmingly of a
League of Nations, but by chal-
lenging the Senate to fight the
Fresldent makes such leadership
and education immensely more diff
hcult. He handicaps greatly the
enorts OF men like Mr. Taft, who
nave laid aside all partisan con-
Slderations in order to further n
cause they believe of supreme CON
Germ to the welfare of America and
the world.
The sort of fight he provokes is
TOO likely to engender passions and
develop issues that will carry the
pubic far from the vital question
Ihe need of this critical hour is
Tor serious, unimpassioned and nom
partisan thinking. The fate of in
dlViduals or political organizations
Is as nothing compared with the
issue of American policy and world
destiny. "oii"
incorporate things have been said
on both sides of the controversy
as when Senator Borah portrayed
@AAS AohS iS 10 enforce peace aS an
agency making for Boisheyism, or
when Taft denounced the oppo-
nents or a League of Nations in
the Senate as men who cannot he
trusted. These are foolish things
TO say. They contribute nothing to
the KIND of thought the Nation
needs. "'ioh
Nor does the President helm whom
ne comes charging across the ocean

Senate to ioust. 'No
Let US reason about this problem.
In our opinion. the objections thus
far raised AGAINST projected Ieaene
can all be met and answered in fair
argument We want a convinced
American behind any action Amer
lea takes. When the President next
makes a public address, and we
trust he will before he returns to
trance, we hope he will assume a
less belligerent attitude, abandon
rhetorical generalities and present
the case for a League of Nations in
a manner that will appeal to the
reasoning faculties of the country,

Neu Decoration For YdnkS

BY a change in the Army regulations
two new decoration come within the
the reach of United States soldiers.
Hereafter, an officer or man who is
cited from the headquarters of any
force commanded by a general officer
and who does not receive the Medal of
Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross
or the Distinguished Service Medal.
will be entitled to wear silver star
one-fifth of an inch in diameter; and
for every subsequent citation that does
not bring other recognition he may wear
a bronze cluster of oak leaves.
The plan follows the French system
of awarding a palm leaf branch for each
additional citation for the croiD de 0uer-
re. But what a diminutive star Ger
tainly of not more than the fifth mag
nitude Does the Government think we

transform the whole appearance and
general effect.
Another commonly accepted mis-
take is that much more skill and
time are required to succeed with
perennials than with the bedding
plants and ANIMALS which are SO
universally grown. There are dozens
of perennials so hardy that they will
succeed in the struggle for existence
year after year without any atten-
ton on the part of the gardner.
Given as much time and as much
fertilizer every spring as would be
required to prepare and set out a
bed of tender plants or ANIMALS,
these perennials always add an at
mosphere of permanence to the
place which annual plants can never
give. They are one of the attractive
features of the place from the first
days of Spring, weeks before any an
nuals make showing, until the last
thing in the Fall, weeks after most
of the ANIMALS are killed and black
ened by early frosts. No permanent
home is complete without at least
enough perennials to give fair as
sortment of flowers through the
Spring, Summer and Fall.
Add a few permanent paintings to
your porch and window box adorn-
ments this spring. A few dollars will
do wonders Help make Harrisburg
a garden city.

n fastest things in trucks and
tractors.
Time was when one reasonably
small hall would accommodate all
the passenger cars, trucks and trac-
tors sold in Harrisburg, and leave
plenty of room for broad aisles, mo-
torcyles, accessories and the like.
But not so this year. Even the big
Overland rooms proved too small
for the joint exhibit, and the close
of the passenger car show to-day
marks the opening of the truck and
tractor exhibition.
There ought to be more popular
interest in the new show than in
that drawing to a close. There is
more romance in the history of the
homely motortruck or the caterpil-
lar tractor than in the development
of the first locom motives, concerning
which SO much has been written.
When the American boys swung
into the breach at Chateau Thierry
and smashed up the Hun advance on
Paris they rode singing into the fray
on great gasoline-driven trucks.
When they went lover the top to
start the German on his last, long
retreat they were preceded by those
numbering, bullet-spitting monsters,
the tanks, which are nothing more
nor less than armor-protected
caterpillars. Trucks and tractors
hauled the ammunition up and took
the wounded and prisoners back. 1t
used to be said that ''an army travels
on its belly" but the army of to-
day travels aboard a motor truck
train
Wherever there are loads to be
hauled or land to be plowed, there
are the truck and the tractor. They
saved the crops last summer and
kept distracted farmers from giving
up in despair. They helped materi-
ally in winning the war.
The possibilities of these wonder
full machines are beyond calculation.
They are just coming into their own.
The exhibit is large and well worth
a visit.

l. w. w.

On the letter head of the Agricul-
tural Workers Organization and Oil
Workers Union No. 400. which is
the branch of the order to which
the members belong, who are now
in court at Wichita, there is the
picture of a shock of wheat. Up
through the center of the shock
there extends the body of a man and
standing on the shock in front of
the man is the picture of a black
cat.
What does it mean? 1t means
that the mission of the I. w. w. in
the harvest fields is sabotage. The
harvest wheat shock is doomed by
the "sab-cat."
The reader must bear in mind this
almost unbelievable thing about the
I. w. W.-of the literature which
they carry with them. means any,
thing at all-that work" to the
member of that order does not mean
work in any ordinary sense of the
term. To him "a job" does not bear
any likeness to the word as it ap-
plies to the average laboring man.
When an l. w. w. gets ION the
job" he gets on to destroy and not
to produce. His work" is to lay
waste and not to conserve.
Employer an Enemy to Be
Destroyed"
So amazing is the revelation of the
aims and purposes of the order, as
one gets it from the literature OF
the members, that the average citi-
zen can hardly believe what he
reads; can hardly credit the thine
that is printed before him. To get
the proper conception of It the read
er must get the viewpoint of the
I. w. w.
That viewpoint is that the EN-,
ployer of labor of any kind is the
one enemy of labor who must be
destroyed. 1t matters not whether
that employer is a farmer or a man

Mr.. Knox sConstructive
Criticism of the Covenant.

He then announced a second posi-.
BILE plan:
IF we feel that world inter
ests and power are reshaping in
such way that we need to be
protected and that we need
to protect others, then let us
form an alliance with the
strongest other Power or two
Powers of the world for mutuai
protection. That we be not
thrown into quarrels in which
we would have no sympathy we
must choose as our allies those
Powers whose traditions in
StitutionS, ideals and people are
most like our own
The third plan suggested by Mr.
Knox is one which he said might bt
adopted 'if the people of the United
States (not a clamorous part OF
them. but a great majority desire
TO establish true league of nations
ana are willing to make sacrifices
for that purpose. The plan would
provide for an international court
with code which would define wal
and would discriminate between ag.
SreSsiVe and defensive war:
This code would also provide
that one Nation could not sum-
mon another before the inter-
national court except in respect
to a matter of international and
common concern to the con-
tending Nations, and that the
jurisdiction of the court would
not extend to matters of govern
mental policy, which would be
excluded from arbitration un-
less one of the diSputing par
ties had by treaty or otherwise
given another country a claim
that might involve these sub
Jects. Under such a code we
would not be called upon to ar
bitrate the policy involved in
our Monroe Doctrine our con-
servation policy; our immigra-
grafton policy; our right to eX-
pei aliens; our right to repeb
invasion; our right to maintain
military and naval establish
ments, or coaling stations with
in our own borders or else
where, as the protection and
development of this country
might demand; our right to
make necessary fertilization of
the Panama Canal, or on our
frontiers; our right to discrim-
mate between natives and for
eigners in respect to right of
property and citizenship; and
other matters of like charac-
ter"
The constitution proposed by Sen
ator Knox would take in, not a fey
of the civilized Nations, but all q
them, and yet it would not involv
America in the wars of Europe an,
Asia, for it would put upon the Ma
tions of each hemisphere the duty o
enforcing any decree against an of
Tending Power of that hemisphere
1t would make America the police
| man only of the western world.
And yet, as Mr.. Knox remarke,
| in closing, these are not the prob
lens which now press urgently upol
u.s. Peace, immediate peace, is tn
thing first to be obtained, for it i
| the desire of the whole earth. Deal
ing with the possibilities of tn
future can wait. Dealing with tn
facts of to-day is an instant duty
Until that duty is accomplished tn
more deliberate job of providing fo
the continuance of peace cannot b
! approached in the right spirit. Blu
let no blind follower of Mr.. Wilson
delude himself into thinking tha
the opposition to the Wilson coven
and is merely destructive. That doc
ument is not assailed because it /
Mr.. Wilson's, but because it is wron
and needs to be made right.

OF course, the most important fac

The use of plants. No amount of ex-

pver, where plants have been used
with good taste, becomes attractive.
Many people have the mistaken
kaea that success in beautifying the

proportion to the amount of money
spent. Nothing could be further from
Ehe truth. Any one contemplating
planting should keep in mind from

not able to show improvement over
what had been known before. Almost

button from this great man to cause

were able to comply with his rule and
therefore were provided with a beau

was TO give us StO,OOO.0 90, but through
a migcalc ulation or otherwise, the
building cost in excess ofthisamOuft
