POPULAR ESTATE

- PHILADELPHIA is never quite
happy unless in the throes of
political campaign. Joseph
Hampton Moore, who proposes to
buck the Ware organization as a
candidate for mayor, has injected
q refreshing spirit of independence
into the situation. 1t is we'll that
the political stage should be set for
the big show of 1920. Mr.. Moore
is a regular Republican, with a high
appreciation of the principles of his
party, and throughout the State there
will be increasing interest in his
canvass for the chief place in his
home city. AS this is the case of the
office seeking the man the father
of the inland waterways develop
ment will have the good wishes of
thousands of his fellow citizens in
Pennsylvania.

as sordid. we must say that it would
seem to us hopelessly quixotic to
refuse a share in the indemnity, to
which every other Power considers
us to be 'ndisputably entitled. There
is not an argument against our do
ing so that is worth the breath it
takes to utter it. The question Is. at
any rate, one which should be de-
cided by Congress"
The trouble with the whole treaty
matter has been the failure of Presi-
dent Wilson to give full recognition
to the constitutional prerogatiVes
and rights of Congress, especially
the Senate as a coordinate treaty
making power. But we are grad
ually getting down to brass tacks
and with the passing of the days the
situation is being clarified through
the forceful expression of American
sentiment.

TRADE BRIEFS

Intensive campaign for the Swed-
ish market has been opened by
British textile interests, immediate
deliveries being offered. with six
months credit and 6 per cent off
in thirty days.
A cablegram has been received
from the American Consulate-Gen-
eral at Hongkong, British China, to
the effect that catalogs and price
lists are desired Immediately. for
machinery for the manufacture OF
the Japanese style of safety matches.
According to a report from CHRIST
iania Engineer Hermond Peterson
has recently patented device for
the production of electrical current
for radiotelegraphy. The electricity
is received by an accumulation, which
releases it at certain intervals. The
system is sparkless and the sounds
are clearer than in the older in
ventions.
The Bureau OF Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce has received from
the Consulate General at Rotter-
dam, the Netherlands, list of i'm
porters of raw cotton in that
country, copies of which can be OBJ
tained from the bureau of its dis
trict or cooperation offices by re-
ferring to File No. 110191.
The London manager of an old
established Russian company, with
forty branch offices in Russia, states
that a considerable amount of busi-
ness is now being done in southern
Russia, and that the outlook is very
favorable. The goods are being
shipped not to order but to repre-
sentatives of the firms making the
shipments.

Daylight and Increased
Production

TT is to be hoped that the Presi-
dent will again veto the repeal
of the Daylight Savings Law
which, by reason of some mysterious
political influence, has been put
through both Houses and, as sep
arate measure, is once more up to
him.
The Daylight Savings plan real
ICES three great results in city COM
munities - economy, health, and in
creased production.
Increased production is the great
est of these.
The objections to the change of
time are mainly that it affords a
certain amount of discomfort in
Western farming communities; but
it does not cut down production
there.
The success OF the great reor-
ganization now going on, of the in
dustrial forces of the, Nation from
war to peace, depends more than
anything else, upon increasing pro-
duction. The aim of all efforts to
harmonize capital and labor is to
make it possible, through increased
production, to give labor better
wages and to afford to make labor
life more comfortable and enjoy
able.
A strike at the Daylight Savings
plan is a blow to increased produc-
ton, from which all these benefits
come.
1t would seem that the farming
community should be willing, for
the present, to defer its objections
to an arrangement of such incalcul-
able benefit to the great majority,
until the country is on a settled
basis of prosperity.
The farmers have done great work
during the war and are receiving
great money reward by reason of
a high price for wheat fixed by the
Government, with the effect of rails

FAILURE OF DISHONESTY

-OHN EDWARD ADDICKS, who
once boasted that he would
= buy his way into the United
States Senate if he had to purchase
tle whole State of Delaware" is
dead, a poor and disgraced politician
without friends and without the re-
spect of a single living soul.
Such wholesale bribery as was
practiced in Delaware during the
period of Addicks influence in State
politics there has never been known
elsewhere in the United States.
Thousands of dollars he poured out
in every election, and for time 1t
looked as though he would be elect
ed to the Senate, although it Is
doubtful if he ever would have been
able to convince that body of his
right to sit therein, but he never
quite succeeded.
Dishonesty in politics some times
too often, indeed-succeeds tenn
porarily, but eventually the people
take matters into their own hands
and turn the rascals out. At all
events, the day of the Addicks type
is past, never to return, for which
the country may we'll rejoice.

October Weather

From the Philadelphia LEDGER.
1t seems that the Prince of Wales
has just heard about our Indian
summer" and is worrying about the
kind of weather that prevails in the
United States at the end of October.
Naturally, familiar with the fogs
and damps of the raw autumns of
England and northwestern Europe,
persistent oceanic climatic condi-
tionists when they reformed the
calendar to label October "Bru-
maire," or foggy, the young Prince
is quite unaware that the contin-
entail climate which we share with
Canada normally gives us an Octo-
Der of blue and gold brilliancy,
with clear, crystalline skies the rule,
and the only interruption to this
type of weather, with its sharp tang
or early frost in the air, is the re-
turn of the dreamy, halcyonic days
which suggest the return of the
summer and have been called poet
icalIy Indian summer" ever since
the early Colonial days. The phe-
nomenon of Indian summer has al
ways interested English writers,
though most of them who have dis
cussed it are in error as to its
causes, and the phrase long since
has played it's part in English liter
ature as n synonym for the peace
full, tranquil. golden evenings of life,
the second summer of ones declin-
ing days. 1t is true the meteorolo-
gists have shown the physical sim
ilarity of our Indian summer" to
Saint Martins summer" of No
vember and Saint Johns summer"
of December, which figure in Eu-
-
mer" in October has a quality all
of its own as the last gorgeous hues
of the maple and dogwoods and the
oaks color the vistas and make late
October the most delightful time of
the year. So the Prince need not
worry about our October weather;
IL it be normal it will be quite as
continental and as American" as
anything else that he will experience
over here and quite as stimulating,
and a golden memory he will never
forget
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-08-11

I ing the prices of all other farm
products.
Their inconvenience from the
Daylight Savings law comes mainly
from too early milk trains. This
could be easily adjusted by the rail-
roads and should be. 1t develops
that a very large number of farmers,
and especially of farmers wives, are
in favor of retaining the Daylight
Savings law. 1t has increased en-
ormously the production of food
stuffs through the work of amateur
farmers to the extent of hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of garden
truck. But far greater has been the
increased production in factories,
through the saving of daylight under
this beneficent law.
1t is not that the East does not
appreciate how much is due to the
farmers of the country for their
splendid service to the whole COM
munity. Mr.. George L. Walker, in
the Boston Commercial, in a lucid
article on what the farmer did for
the war and what he is now doing,
says:
The American farmers have
demonstrated conclusively that they
are the most dependable men en-
gagged in any single calling. Though
hundreds of thousands of their en-
ployes were enticed away by offers
of high wages to work in ship
yards and munitions factories, and
other hundreds of thousands, to-
gether with perhaps Il million of
their sons. were called to the
colors, they did not threaten to
strike and uttered Il few protests;
but with all these handicaps they
added to their working hours and
increased the country's cereal har-
vest by more than a billion bushels.
The potato crop of our first year in
the war exceeded all previous rec
ords, the efforts of the farmers en-
abling this country to provision it's
own Army and help enormously in
the feeding of the El<Jpean Allies"

Peace Time Prices

GFrom the Philadelphia Press.l
The Government can do some
thing. probably a good deal, to re-
duce the cost of living by the simple
process of letting go and allowing
industry to resume its natual course
in its natural channels. No doubt
many of the ill-effects of Govern
ment interference will remain per-
manently and pre-war prices will
not return, but settling down of
prices to a more healthy level is
the most vital and urgent demand
of the times We are glad that the
President is considering and Con-
gress is proposing to investigate this
subject. We are now at peace and
should be able to enjoy again some
thing like peace prices.

"CHORUS GIRLS KICK"

THE Kansas City Star of last
Thursday contained an article
headed Chorus Girls Kick"
and there seemed small enough
justification for the publication of
such an item, for to kick is one
of the chief duties of the chorus
ladies, until one on reading farther
discovered that the term was used
fguratively.
The girls of Chicago theaters, it
appears, complain that the salary en-
velope no longer meets the hall
room rent, the cheap restauranc
lunch and the dressmaker's bills.
Some of us may have imagined that
the trifling costume of the average
member of the chorus would not
have been worth making an inven-
tory of in a list of living expenses,
but apparently the airy trifles cost
as much as some of the lace and
satin remnants that pass for ball
gowns in polite society.
The fewer clothes they wear the
higher the cost, the girls say. Some
of the advance photographs of GER
tain Broadway shows indicate that
the chorus ladies over there have
met the problem by discarding even
the poor excuses they used to wear
and dressmakers no longer have
any terrors for them. Perhaps the
threatened strike is step in that
direction in Chicago, or are middle
west morals above that sort of q
compromise with the high cost of
living?

AS TO INDEMNITY

= LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
BEIDLEMAN in a stirring
speech before the Republican
committee workers the other evening
voiced the opinion of many people
when he questioned the propriety
of the Washington administration
assuming to speak for the country
in declining any part of the Ger
man indemnity fund. The Lieuten-
ant-Governor evidently believes with
Colonel Harvey that even if the
exaction of a large sum from Ger
many would destroy her industrial
and commercial potency for the
next hundred years we should say,
Lay on!' Commenting further on
this matter the distinguished editor
of Harvey's Weekly says:
TT will be better for Germany
to suffer through making repara-
ton for her crimes than for
her victims to be left to suffer
still more for lack of such re-
paration. Nor do we think that
the prosperity of all the rest of
the world depends upon the i'm
mediate and complete rehabilita-
tion of Germany. We can get
along very we'll without her, We
may, of course, be quite sure that
Germany will pay not a cent more
than she is compelled to pay.
and that if we begin scaling
down the indemnity, she will
continue to whine for it's still
further reduction. Instead of
abatement, we should say that
the entire sum prescribed should
be exacted without reduction of
a cent, and with this additional
proviso, that if then an ex parte
commission of the Powers finds
that she is able to pay more. a
further payment shall be ex-
acted"
1t has never been quite clear
why the United States should be
so philanthropic as to bear it's share
of the burden of a great war and
then refuse to exact from the guilty
author of that war all the repara-
tion possible. Colonel Harvey can
not see that President Wilson has
anything to say about it. IF he
had put into the treaty" says the
Colonel "a stipulation that tile
United States should have no share
in the indemnity, the Senate might
make it valid with it's ratification,
though we doubt If it would. But
there is nothing of the sort in the
treaty, and we are very sure that
no private and unwritten under.
standing of the Presidents with the
rest of the Big Five, to that or tc
any other effect, is of the slightest
forco. At the risk of being regarded

Billions in Junk
IFrom the OutIo0k.1

Junk" to most people means
worthless rubbish. But report of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce estimates that the total value
of junk annually salvaged in the
United States aggregates more than
$4,000, 100000, clear saving of two
per cent of the total annual manu-
factured output of the country. In
a bulletin the United States geologi-
cal survey reports that secondary
metals, including brass, lead, zinc,
copper, tin and aluminum-secured
from scrap metals, etc.-recovered
in 1916 were valued at more than
1855, 100000. One of the serious
causes of juvenile crime is said To
be the ease with which stolen junk
can be sold.

Lansing and George occupied rela-
the peace conference, but the Pre-
mier of the United States. according
to his own testimony before COM
rlittee of the United States Senate,
appears to have been willing to play
the role Of numerical unit of the
delegation without portfolio. It is
difficult to imagine Root. or Knox.
or Taft. or other of the great line of
statesmen who have served in the
office of Secretary of State suffering
themselves to be eclipsed utterly by
the autocratic and self-appointed
head of the Peace delegation from
this country.

Simple Rule of Living
[From the Utica Observer.

From the Utica Observer.
AS the increase in the supply of
money will not solve our problem,
we can not look to government aid
in doing it. The solution rests with
individuals, and their only possible
ways of reaching it are to make
abundance take the place of scar
city by producing more through
their own individual efforts and by
using such economy as lies within
the scope of reasonable living. We
may discuss theories by the hour,
write by the ream papers which
deal with economics. listen to de-
bates until we are deaf, and we will
finally be compelled to come back
to the simple rule that has gov
erned man since the days of Adam.
The ground must be titled and the
field must be harvested, and the
wheel must be driven, and we must
eat our bread in the sweat of our
face.

The Smaller World
GFrom the Toledo Blade1

tFrom the Toledo BladeJ
BY death upon the battlefield,
starvation in prison camps, un-
checked disease, the breaking down
of peace and order, it is estimated
that the world has lost 25,0OO,OO0
souls. 1t is further estimated that
there are 100000 fewer persons
living than there would be nor
mally because families were parted
by the war, marriages did not oc-
cur. So when we speak of the
world being made smaller we need
not necessarily have aerial achieve
ments in mind, but the grim reaper
and that which might have been.
