A GOOD BILL

"HE. Ramsey bill permitting the
elective head of the police de-
partment to suspend patrolmen
for ten-day periods without council
manic hearing ought to be passed.
Under the civil service act the po-
licemen have become practically a
law unto themselves. They feel them
selves above the mayor and council
and the mayor and councilmen are
naturally hesitant about taking the
officers before a councilmanic hear
ing on trivial charges. Therefore the
discipline of the whole force says
and with it the efficiency and often
the trustworthiness of the individual
officers who feel that If they can
commit small offenses with immunity
they can go to greater lengths with
out punishment.
BY all means give the mayor au-
thority to suspend, il not actually to
"hire and fire." Certainly we never
had any more trouble under the old
political spoils system than we have
under the present civil service regu-
lations.

FRANK A. SMITH

TRANK A. SMITH, nominated
= to-day for the State Senate
vacancy caused by the eleva-
ton of Senator E. E. Beidleman to
the Lieutenant-G t-Governorship, may
well feel that distinguished honor
has been conferred upon him. He
will succeed, If elected, and his cleo
ton is as certain as anything polit-
ical can be, long line of able and
distinguished legislators, among
them IGeutenant-G Governor Beidle-
man, Judge s. ]. NJ. McCarrell and
Senator John E. Fox. The Senator
ship of Dauphin county has long
been regarded at the State Capitol
as one of great importance, being at
the seat of the State government,
with the multitude of opportunities
for political and public service which
that entails, and two Dauphin coun-
tians within a comparatively few
years have been honored with cleo
ton as President pro tempore of
that body.
Mr.. Smith comes into his nomina-
ton we'll acquainted with the duties
he will be called upon to assume.
AS member of the county executive
committee and as Republican coun-
ty chairman during the historic 1912
fight he became thoroughly ac-
quainted throughout the district and
learned politics from it's practical
side. AS member of the State Com
mittee and close personal friend
of Senator Beidlenan he has made
thousands of friends throughout
Pennsylvania, and because he has
been student of affairs on Capitol
Hill he knows more about the in
side workings of the legislative bod
les than many members of the Leg
islature. He is a man of progress
sive views and a friend of both pro-
hibition and of suffrage. He goes
to the Senate admirably equipped
for the influential place he will oc-
cupy and, unless the Telegraph is
greatly mistaken in the man, will
make such a record as will win him
the nomination for the full term
when that time rolls around.

SHAFFER TESTIMONIAL

THE testimonial to be given Wal
ter Shaffer, the daring Dauphin
aviator, no doubt will attract a
crowded house. 1t is not generally
known that Shaffer paid for his own
training as an aviator, paid his own
way to France and supported him
self there until he could get into
the French air service.
Working nights on a great New
York paper as a printer, he spent
every afternoon learning to fly and
the actual time he spent in the
training machine cost him 81 a
minute He was determined to do
his part to crush the Hun. He saw
his duty as an American long before
most of us saw it and he made his
choice cheerfully, with full knowl-
edge that in all likelihood he would
have to pay with his life. That he
did not is one of the marvels he will
relate to his audience in the Or
pheum theater Monday evening.
Shaffer came back from the war
$500 poorer than he went in. 1t
cost him that to do his duty for his
country and for France. His
friends very properly feel that he
should not be allowed to shoulder
that financial responsibility alone.
1t is with the hope of liquidating this
debt that the testimonial has been
arranged.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PLEA FOR EXTENSION

You are of course thoroughly
familiar with the organization of the
Council of Defense system through
out the country. Under the Coun-
Gil of National Defense in Washing
ton, consisting of the Secretaries
of War, Navy, Interior, Agriculture,
Commerce, and Labor, and with
Groesvenor B. Clarkson as Director,
there has been built up under the
governors of the forty-eight states
complete defense system now con-
sisting in addition to the state or
ganization of 1000 counties, 49,
600 women's divisions, and some
$4,000 community and municipal
units. This great field machinery
has represented the people of the
United States in Washington and
has carried through to the smallest
community the problems and meas
ures of the national government dur
ing the war.
In Washington the Council of
National Defense has. created such
vital bodies as the War Industries
Board, the Aircraft Production
Board, the Commercial Economy
Board, acting in a sense as a great
administrative laboratory; and
other similar government war
agencies. The Council of National
Defense has been content to bulld
these agencies and turn over TO
them the specific problems which
come within their jurisdiction.
! 1t had not originally been the in
| tention to continue the state coun-
ell of defense system beyond the
date of the signing of the armistice'
However, we find many problems
that now require careful handling
problems in which the cooperation
/. of the people throughout the Uni
| ted States is not only desirable but
absolutely necessary. There is the
problem of Americanization, the
| problem of unemployment tne
transference of the $4,000, ,OOO,0OO
of war; risk insurance outstanding
from a war to a peace basis,-ln
short it is no less imperative TO meet
the problems of readJustment than
it was to prepare for war.
For that reason Mr.. Garrison, Dl-
rector of the Council, at the per-
sonal request of the Secretary oi
War, chairman Of the Council, has
agreed to continue in office anc

OUR HANDS TIED

IF the United States is to estab-
lish itself on a foundation of
= rock during the trying days of
reconstruction the government
should not place a single stumbling
block in the way of the progress of
industries and the employment of
labor. Such a policy is based, not
upon theory or high-sounding
phrases. hut upon good, sound, COM
mon sense. Whether the exacting
problems of advocating League of
Nations idea is too occupying to
lend time to consider the necessary
problems at home, we shall not de-
termine. They undoubtedly must
take the better part of, every twen-
ty-four hours, in order that the
idealistic theories upon which they
are based shall not fall by the way
side.
But if We concede that they take
twenty three hours out of every
day, the remaining hour should at
least be devoted to the necessary
exercising of power, given during
the war, to right industrial condi-
tions and place them on their feet.
We refer specifically to the ship
building industry because it affords
a concrete example. Senator Jones,
of Washington, has cited several
cases where these concerns are
ready and anxious to build ships
and to accept orders offered them
by other countries. The shipyards
are idle because they cannot get a
permit from the United States
Shipping Board to accept the orders.
One of the gravest problems in the
United States to-day rs the giving
of employment to discharged SOL
diers. If these yards could proceed
with their work. thousands of men
would be given an opportunity to
accept good positions. In this con-

THE HINES HAZE
(From the Philadelphia Press)

(trom the Philadelphia PreSs)
The new director general of the
railroads is very vague in his request
that Congress vote for his use three
quarters of a billion dollars for use
as revolving fund" He says that
this amount is necessary to aid in
stabilizing the general industrial sit
uation by the carrying on of railroad
improvements. Director General
Hines does not acquaint the Appro-
priations Committees or Congress
with the extent of the proposed ad-
ditions and betterments for this next
year. He does not tell in units OF
equipment and plant what he intends
to do. The naming of a certain num-
ber of dollars as the amount to be
used gives no real idea as TO the
work to be performed.
Such q detailed statement is need
ed if Congress is to know and author
ize such railway improvements as
would meet future traffic needs on
the one hand and employ labor on
the other. The proposed provision
for additions and betterments in
1919 expressed in dollars is substan-
TALLY less than the new capital put
into railway improvements even in
the years Immediately preceding the
war, not to speak of years when net
earnings were more favorable. Upon
the level of labor and material cost
now prevailing, the proposed esti-
mate of money would produce very
greatly smaller numbers of equip
ment and construction units, and
hence employ proportionately fewer
people in the industries than would
have been the case in past years.
Mr.. Hines should give the details
of his plan. He surely must have
figured how and where he. will use
this money if it is put at his disposal
by Congress. The government should
make such allowance to the roads
in terms of purchase that the cor
porations will not carry the whole
burden of war prices, while their
income is based on that of the years
that preceded our entrance into the
war. Railroad purchases have been
cut to the bone. Cancellation of rail-
road orders have been general. I'm
employment in the railway supply
industries has already become serious
and is spreading. Under such circum-
stances both the railroads and Con-
gress have a right to know what is
the plan of the director general, and
told in terms that will tell the story,
not in a total number of dollars that
reveals little or nothing. Congress
should demand of Mr.. Hines a bill of
particulars before it hands over such
an appropriation.

FOCH AND NAPOLEON

IFrom the Knoxville Sentinel.1
Foch looked to Napoleon as his
master in the military science.
"Napolean was a prolific war maxim
maker" says London Answers. His
maxims numbers more than 100.
Many of them are true to-day as
when they were made"
Foch adhered to his masters
teachings closely and applied his
maxims religiously in his cam
paigns:
''In war;" said Napoleon, there is
never more than one favorite mo-
ment. The great art is to seize 1t
and use it well.
Foch seized the favorable mo-
ment." and in month not only
saved the situation but turned the
tables on the enemy. He "concen-
trated his troops and acted with
energy" as Napoleon laid down.
Common sense-the application of
wisdom to circumstances-is Foch's
maxim, as it was Napoleon's. Ma
poIeon wrote: "Plans may be modi-
fed ad infinitum, according to cir
cumstances, the genius of the gen.
'eral. the character of the troops and
the features of the country"
Napoleon insisted upon the study
of past campaigns. The SCIENCE OF
strategy" he said, lis only to be
acquired by experience and by
studying the campaigns OF all the
great captains of military history.
In the spring he was acting up to
Napoleon's dictum-"the measure
which is not profoundly meditated
in all its details produces no result" "
When Foch was ready he dared at
the right moment" For twenty years
past Foch has been profoundly
meditating'' the details of the
strategy which has given him such
signal success.

THE CAMP AT BREST
(From Detroit Journal)


Is the fever camp of Chickamauga
in the war with Spain to be dupli-
Gated by the mud and squalor of the
concentration camp at Brest? Is the
fine showing of the cantonments at
home to be shamed by the misery
and filth and wretchedness of the
place in France where 10000 Yam
KEGS await ships to carry them across
the Atlantic.
Writing in the Washington Post
one of the last newspapers in Amer
lea which would offend the admin
istration-George Rothwell Brown
says the camp at Brest is the worst
disgrace that has come to American
arms in the war. 1t is located in a
swamp. Not a dry spot exists in the
area occupied. Men walk in mud,
sleep in mud, have the stuff served
them in their food. There has been
grave mismanagement in provision
ing the soldiers. The tents are thin
and insufficient. Tasks far too heavy
for soldiers ill-nourished and cold
and utterly weary and depressed are
imposed. Only one thing buoys up
the spirit of the camp-the hope that
the ships will come and the men may
sail for home.
A brigadier general is quoted as
saying: "It is the worst place which
have ever'seen anywhere on earth,
and I have Travelled all over the
world"
Nothing less than a breakdown in
the organization of the army will ex-
cuse the condition of the camp at
Brest. No cable censorship or threat
against the press or talk of the "exl,
gencies of war" can prevent an in
vestigation. And Congress should in
yestigate at once. compel better
treatment at Brest and punish those
who have been guilty of this gross
tude to the soldiers.

plans for making the Susquehanna

billboard ADVERTISING

Billboards along the streets or the
country highway are samples of impu-
dent advertising, declares DR.. Frank
Crane, in an editorial in the New York
Globe. They destroy the beauty of the
city and the countryside. 1t is pain
full for people who are out for rest and
enjoyment and have an inalienable
right not to be solicited in their hour
of recreation. 1t is a lowering of the
standing of business, which is honorable
to any man. 1t is like peddler cry
ing his wares at church, or a woman
who would pass out cards of her hus-
bands drug store at the presidents re-
ception.
