Education Greatest Problem

Schools are established for the
returning heroes of the A. e. +.
Shops and factories are installing
training schools for their employees.
Fraternal organizations are placing
teachers in social settlements.
America is at last awake to the fact
that it can be no greater than the
average intelligence of it's people.
Suppose the people could be
shown all that education means not
after reaching manhood and wo-
manhood but while they were still
in school?
In High Benton William Hey
Tiger has written as good a school
story as has ever been penned. It
is boys book, an epic of education,
gripping tale of boy who lives
his life and fights his battles in a
small New Jersey town. 1t is a
story that handles the theme of edu-
cation as it has never been handled
before, that emotionalizes it with
human touches, that shows the boy
just how much he misses when he
drops books at IA or 15 and chases
after the quick dollar. For America
it is one of the most important
books published this year. This is
an Appleton book.

Commander Adams enlisted in the
Fifth Wisconsin Light Artillery in
1861. He served under General
Thomas, later under General Grant

He remained with General Sherman
until the end of the war and was
present at the surrender of General
johnson at Raleigh, N. c. He was
also present at the grand review in
Washington, May "a, 1865, after the
close of the war.

The Boy Has Come Home!

The Boy has come home! And the
door stands wide,
And the old house shakes to his hob
nailed stride,
And the old farm smiles from side to
side.
For the Boy, back home, at last
Home from the broken homes of
France,
From the ravaged fields of the Huns
advance,
The shattered woods o'ess whose
The short stumps stand aghast!
The Boy has come home-and he's
home to stay!
And he'll never want to go away
Not in forever and day
From the peace of the old home
soil;
And the mother smiles, with heart
at rest,
Her cheek to his khaki shoulder
pressed,
And a glad heart beats in Dads"
worn breast
AS he turns to his lightened toll.
The Boy has come home, and his
heart Is here,
And he's keen for the tasks of the
full farm year.. 3.
To SOW, and NOW, with a soul of
cheer,
And bear the hard works brunt;
But into his eyes a look will come,
Swift mid the workday's cheerful
hum,
And his mother sees, and watches
dumb
She knows he's back at the Front!
The Boy has come home, and his
hearts true blue,
But it holds, with the old, the mar
velous new,
And his clear eyes sweep DER a wider
view
Than once was their utmost
span;
And he thinks world-thoughts that
afar he found
He knows that the still old farm is
bound
With every farm in the worlds wide
round
Since the Boy came home-a Man!

They Would Like to Be Back

[From the New York Times1
A military question with another
and a deeper interest than the one
just discussed was raised by the
little poem entitled Mustered Out"
printed on this page the other day.
After telling briefly, but with evi-
dent feeling. about the hardships
and horrors that formed so much of
service at the front, the writer
who is still in a hospital as the re-
suit of wounds received abroad
ended by asking his late companions
in arms
Don't you wish - sometimes - YOU
were back?
The inquiry was obviously not less
an expression of personal feeling
and whoever chooses to interrosate
any considerable number of re-
turned soldiers, officers as we'll as
privates, will be surprised to dis
cover how many of them confess to
a little aching discomfort with civil
ian life-a discomfort that amounts
when articulate, to a confession that
If they answered the poets question
frankly the answer would be in the
Affirmative.
This is not, however, because they
love war or really want any more
of it. The explanation seems to be
- almost certainly is the, one
limited in Mustered OUT: :
1t is fine to be back in Gods coun-
try once more,
And yet it is just bit tame
To be plodding along as you did be-
fore
1t Will never be Just the same!
And. of course, it will not. The
case of the soldiers is not unlike
that of Arctic explorers. The latter
don't have in the Far North what
any sane man would call a good
time" and always they arc glad
and grateful to get back alive. But,
for all that, practically every one of
them is an eager volunteer for the

: OUR NOBLE WOMEN

TrYITH the dropping of the cur
wv tain, so to speak, on the
home war activities to-day
the soldiers who have returned
should be reminded of the splendid
work of the canteen division of the
Red Cross in this city. Not only
have these good women looked after
the comfort and welfare of the SOL
diers of Harrisburg and vicinity dur
ing the long months of fighting and
anxious waiting for the conclusion
Of hostilities; they have met on the
trains passing through Harrisburg
thousands of soldiers to whom they
have ministered in many ways. The
grateful appreciation of these men
has frequently taken the form of the
most touching and sincere letters
from men at home and abroad.
No finer page in the history of the
war will be written than that having
to do with the unselfish devotion and
the tireless service of the noble
women of the various organizations
formed for the purpose of minister
ing in every way to the men called
to the national defense.
Harrisburg is proud OF it's women
and to-day while we are honoring
the boys there is a large place in
our hearts for the mothers and wives
and sisters and sweethearts, whose
inspiration did so much to maintain
the morale of the American soldiers.

1t is a strange utterance to come
from the Attorney General of the
United States. when the occupant of
that office declares that the wrath of
the people will compel a verdict in
court. Yet that is the statement
with which Mr.. Palmer is credited.
He was speaking of the evidence
which has been collected in the case
of the packers companies. when it
is laid before a jury" said Mr.. Pal
mer, "the wrath of the American
people will compel verdict of con-
viction." That is hardly the idea of
law and evidence that is held by the
people of the country, no matter
what Is the case that is on trial, no
matter who is the offender. or what
the offense.
There is q well-grounded principle
in the nation that a verdict depends
upon the evidence that is presented
to the court and the impression that
it makes upon judge and jury. What
the Attorney General hints at is trial
by newspapers and orators and
propaganda, something that is for
eign to the spirit of American insti-
LullOIto. SOnNlCllOn Is Ln0 result Oh
due process of law, based upon evil
dence that establishes beyond rea-
sonable doubt the guilt of the ac-
cused. Popular opinion and popular
wrath have no place In the legal
trial of cases in court. To admit
that a judge or jury should be in
fluenced or directed by elements out
side the courtroom is to lay down
rule of conduct that would be a
travesty on justice. and substitute
popular passion for the law of evil
dence.
1t may be that Mr.. Palmer did not
intend to have his statement point
in such direction. But 1t is very un-
fortunate that the Attorney General
should be the author of such a SEN
timent. Absolute respect for the law
and its forms and safeguards is es-
sential to the man who holds the
position of the chief law officer of
the United States. Verdicts should
never be the result of compulsion.
Popular wrath" will not be substi-
tuted in this country for judge and
jury, for that would condone lynch
ing and the other means by which
the law Is taken into illegal hands
The Attorney General should set an
example in respect for law. That Is
one of his plain duties.

TWO SIDES TO 1T

"ARMERS selling their wares in
II Harrisburg are opposed to the
establishment of q wholesale
market. While there are many ar
guments to the contrary, the views
of the farmers must stand, for with
out their support a wholesale mar
ket could not be maintained. Just
how such markets are successfully
operated in other cities to the bene-
fit OF the consumer it might be in
teresting to develop, but since all
that is beside the point it would be
fruit1ess to attempt to compare con-
ditions here while the producers are
opposed to the idea and determined
ito hold out again it. The farmers
simply will have none of it and, willy
nilIy, the rest of us must comply.
But when the farmer demands the
repeal of the anti-forestalling orli-
nance he is going beyond his rights
and he will find the people of the
city, as heartily opposed to that re-
quest as he is to the opening Of
wholesale markets, and quite as de-
4ermined to have their way.
Perhaps the anti-forestalling ordi-
nance has not produced all the bene-
fdtsl expected of it, but it has bayred
from the markets the mere profiteer.
and in time it will work out to the
Ebenent of the community as a whole.
crhe farmer who opposes this ordi-
nance is also against the establish
ing Of = wholesale market, but,
strange f. say, the enly reason he
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-29

favors the things which the fore
stalling ordinance is designed to pre-
vent, is because he desires to sell
wholesale in a manner that the city
people have ample proof has had
the effect of running up prices to
the consumer in the city markets.
Everybody wants to see the farmer
get a fair price. Everybody wants
to see him encouraged to produce,
and it does seem that there ought
to be a way out of the difficulty,
although to date nothing but an
tagonism between the city dweller
and the fruit and vegetable grower
has resulted from the effort to bring
them closer, which is not good for
either.
The consumer realizes that the
farmer must make a fair profit il
he is to continue growing market
produce, which is the most perish
able of all farm crops and therefore
involves the most risk of loss, and
the farmer must come to the under
standing that food prices have
reached a figure in the city past
winch many people cannot go.
The middle man is the enemy of
both when he operates in the city
market merely as profiteerlng in
huence. and it is at him that the pub
lie has directed the shafts of the
anti forestalling ordinance. This
measure is their sole protection, poor
though 1T be, against the man who
is simply interested in price boost
Ing for his own selfish benefit and
'hey will not stand quietly by and
see 1t repealed. If the farmers have
something better to offer, the people
Oh the city will hail it with delight.

the Presidents health had to be
wasted on such an Intellectual and
wholly unnecessary project. For all
his illusions to the contrary, the
Western tour advanced neither his
own prestige nor the Nations well
fare. He heard large audiences ap-
plaud the President of the United
States and thought he heard only
approval for his League of Nations
policy. He saw great multitudes
turn out to greet him and mistook
them for partisans of an unamended
treaty. What he failed to hear and
see was his speaking tour had only
focused wider public attention on
the Treaty question and crystalIized
popular sentiment for Treaty re-
vision.
He reached the climax of his fu-
tility in Colorado when he declared
he would consider that any reserva-
ton to the Treaty was antamount
to total rejection.
