STRAWS SHOW TREND

TOTHING more significant of
the shifting opinion of the
great working population of
the United States has come to the
surface than the declaration by
representatives of the various plants
of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance
Company operating under a COL
lective bargaining plan, that "the
persistent and unceasing demand of
workmen employed in all classes
and kinds of industries for a short
er days work and an increased
wage in order to meet the present
high cost of living is unecononic
and unwise and should not be en-
couraged."
These men believe that private
monopolies should be controlled,
profits restricted to a rate that shall
be fair to the consumer, that un-
necessary exports of food and cloth
ing be restricted and that all stores
of boarded supplies be uncovered
and placed in the open market.
All of which, as the definite en-
preston of 10000 men of a single
corporation, suggests sanity of view
and a hopeful trend toward real
Americanism.

Money Us. Brains
[From the New York TribuneI

GFrom the New York TribuneI
Money is the natural result of
great business force in America, but
it is never the force itself. The
force is in the brain and will-the
money is only the tool
Therefore, when the brain turns
from the task that it knows SUI
premely we'll to the task that it
knows imperfectly the tool loses it's
power. We still feel that the pow
er must be there. because we have
seen it's far-reaching effects in
finance.
But we are deceiving ourselves.
Money, by :tself, can buy neither
fame nor influence-any more than
it can buy true enjoyment.
All these things must come from
the directing mind. And, as we are
gradually learning. the mind that
can create a vast fortune may be no
better than any of the rest of us
when applied to politics or art or
science or good mariners. 1t may
indeed, blunder rather the more
egregiously through over-confidence

the governor of Bermuda that he
upbraided the citizens for treason
and feelings ran so high that he
was removed. His successor was a
native of Salem, Mass, whose 10y
atty to the mother country was such
that he gave up large estates in the
colonies rather than join the revo-
lutionists. He was connected. both
by blood and by marriage, with the
Winthrop family. Under his rule
the islands full allegiance to Eng
land was restored.
He was succeeded by Henry Ham
ilton, during whose administration
the town of Hamilton was founded
and named for him. This town to-
day is the seat of the island govern
ment 1t has population of less
than 5000.
Three Hundred Islands
Hamilton is on Main Island, or
Bermuda. while st. George, the for
mer capital, is on the island of that
name. There are more than three
hundred small islands in the Ber-
mudas group, of which only a score
are inhabited. The total popula-
ton of the islands in 1916 was lit
tie more than twenty thousand. of
whom about one-third were white.
by the cessation of the American
tourist patronage which had dou-
bled the entire island population in
preceding seasons.
The Bermudas attracted visitors
because of their mild climate, which
knew no frosts, and by their scenic
beauty The evergreen islands are
clustered with exotic plants of nu-
merous variety, their roadways are
"bejeweled and scented" with sweet
smelling flowers, their shores are
penetrated by crystalline coral
pools, and the waters about are
noted fol their ever changing and
vivid color.
The islands lie off the coast of
North Carolina about as far as
Cleveland is from New York, and
at about the same latitude as
Charleston, Fort Worth and San
Diego. They are 677 miles from
New York.
Juan Bermudez, sailing from
Spain to Cuba in 1915, with a cargo
of hogs, discovered the islands when
a storm blew him to their shores.
Apparently he left some of the
! hogs there. for later visitors found
the animals on the island. From
him the islands were named and
thus originated the hog money"
coins stamped with a hog on one
side and a ship on the other, which
still are preserved in various collec-
tions. The islands were settled
through Sir George Somers. who be-
name impressed with their fertility
md beauty during n sojourn ell
forced by the wrecking of the ship
"hich was carrying him to Vir-
ginia.

lean elms and sycamores. from eight

JAPANESE DIFFERENCES

m HERE is significance in the
Associated Press dispatch
from Toxic giving account of
the differences of opinion that have
arisen in Japanese circles over ia
pans policy toward China. The
very fact that this dissension has
found its way into the public prints
is indication of its seriousness, for
the Japanese government is very
reticent and very little of its inside
workings or disagreements reach
the outside world. Perhaps, upon
the outcome will hinge the extent to
which the United States will have
to go Immediately into Far Eastern
affairs. Maybe the Shantung Incl
dent will be settled by the japanese
themselves. At all events the Lodge
policy of guarantees for the protec-
ton of China is greatly strength
ened by this new development.

THE Bermuda Islands suggest
the adventures of Robinson

THE Bermuda Islands suggest
the adventures of Robinson
Crusoe in their colonization
and present in their later chro-
nology a curious parallel to United
States history, with the events con-
sistently predated by a number of
years.
A principal group of the British
West Indies, some Englishmen sug-
gest the Bermudas should be ceded
to the United States in part pay
ment of the American war loans to
Great Britain.
The Robinson Crusoe comparison
discovered and later settled, as the
direct result of shipwrecks; and the
settlers had to build themselves d
bark to set sail again. AS for the
anticipation of American history,
on miniature scale, it may be
noted that the colonization took
place seven years before the Pill
grims landed at Plymouth, Mass,
that witches were burned. Quakers
were prosecuted and miscreants
were ducked, before similar occur
rences are recorded in New Eng
land; and that slavery was abolished
in 1884. The Bermudians protest
ed long before 1875 against the
mother country's rule, until the
island prisons were over full, but
relief came, in their case, not
through a declaration of freedom,
but by the accession of Cromwell.
But the essential point of contact
of the American with the Bermudian
arises the immortal Lafayette gal
lantly helped the colonies conclude
their way of independence. the Ber-
mudians supplied the ammunition
to begin it.
Furnished Colonies With Powder
So acute was the need for powder
in 1775 that George Washington
wrote to the governor of Rhode
Island that mo quantity, however
small, is beneath notice." Learning
that there was a store in Bermuda
and that the islanders were anxi-
Gus to have the embargo lifted on
food supplies from the colonies
Washington addressed a letter to
the people of the island, who haG
shown themselves sympathetic with
the American revolutionists, prom
ising them ample supply of provi-
slons and every other mark of af-
fection and friendship which the
grateful citizens of a free country
can bestow on it's brethren anG
benefactors" if theywould make this
ammunition available for the Con-
tinental Army.
The powder had been procured
and with it the Continental Army
compelled the British to evacuate
Boston.
Not only the sale of the powde,
but the fact that Bermuda allowed
the colonies to have salt, so incensed

LABOR NOTES

Strikes are still threatening among
the canneries of the West coast of
Norway.
Germany, as we'll as other coun-
tries, is suffering from a domestic
labor shortage.
Farm laborers in Ontario, Can,
as a class, are receiving from $40 to
$50 a month.
OF the over 175, 900 building trades
workers in Canada, IS per cent of
them are members of international
unions.
A large steel manufacturing plant
in Conshohocken, Pa, will allow the
workers to decide upon three
shift plan by vote.
The increase in the male member
shop of British unions from 1914 to
1917 was about 25 per cent, while
the increase in the female member
ship for the same period amounted
to more than III per cent.
Retail clerks in Rock Island, Ill;
Moline, ILL.,, and Davenport, Iowa,
are organizing a tri-city local of
Retail Clerks International Protec-
tive Association.
Female labor constitutes a main
part in the factory economy of
Japan. In nearly 10000 factories
employing not less than 10 opera
tives each, male labor amounts to
AZ per cent and female labor 5S per
cent of the total.

ought not lose sight of the labor
parade scheduled for the morning
of that day. The committee in
charge is striving to make it the
largest and most attractive of its
kind ever held in Pennsylvania. No
expense is being spared either for
music or costumes and big turn
out of representatives of the vari-
Gus trades. With the parade in the
morning and the Kipona in the af-
ternoon and evening, Harrisburg

COUNCIL SIZES Up

the needs and desires of the
community with respect to pub
lie improvements and there will be
small objection to the adoption of
any of the items of the $490,o0o
loan. the ordinances for which were
passed yesterday.
Everybody in the city is convinced
of the Importance OF transfer
ring the Walnut street bridge fund
to State street That is evident
from the support the movement has
received in every quarter. The
great memorial viaduct will be one
of the landmarks of Central Penn
sylvania for centuries TO come, and
prove the transfer of the fund set
aside for the smaller project to this
newer and far greater develop
ment.
So, also, with sewers and street
paving. These are matters that
must be attended to at once and no
one part of the city will be cared
for at the expense of another. Part
of the money will go to the east end
and part to the upper part of
town so far as new drainage is
concerned while the paving appro-
priation will be used wherever
there is need for it.
Harrisburg is one of the best
paved cities in the country and it
must continue to uphold that dis
tinction. Indeed, since the first paw
ing loan passed there never has
been any trouble about getting
money for highways. The ad-
vantages of paved thoroughfares
are so obvious that everybody
wants them.
For years Harrisburg people
have favored the establishment of
municipal bathing beaches. They
have only awaited opportunity to
endorse such a loan as will come
before them this fall. Their vote
for the 100000 proposed will be
nearly unanimous, unless all signs
fail. And aside from providing for
the needs of our own people, these
beaches will bring hundreds of eX-
cursionists and visitors to Harris
burg every year. We can make
Harrisburg a great watering place
If we are so minded, and at present
both city authorities and the people
appear to be agreed that we should
go ahead with the development of
the Susquehanna basin at this point
as a recreation place.
Some years ago an intensive
campaign would have been neces-
sary to carry half million loan to
success at the polls. But little urg-
ing will be necessary at this time.
Our people are thoroughly convert
ed to the need of keeping their city
apace with the times-or a little
ahead-and are willing to spend
their money in any reasonable pub
lie improvement that may have the
recommendation of council.
