Y trial power from the Susque-

y
trial power from the Susque-
hanna river, is free to large
extent from the restrictions of the
government COAX orders.
That means it can laugh at the
coal miners and the operators when
they allow their differences to go
TO the point of lockout or strike. 1t
means that whether the mines are
operated or idle, York people will
not be seriously inconvenienced. They
are independent of the troubles that
beset communities less favorably
situated with respect to their source
of power.
The Susquehanna river has no
wage agreement to break. 1t never
goes on strike. 1t works twenty
four hours out of the day and has
no foolish ideas about profits or
wages. 1t is ready for the harness;
ready to serve the people who live
along it's banks for all time to come.
There are countless other streams
in Pennsylvania spending themselves
uselessly that might be made to
drive many power plants.
We must make ourselves inde-
pendent of coal. That is clear. The
streams offer one way out.

Spare That Nut Tree!
[From Kansas City Times.


The American Legion is perform
ing great service in keeping an eye
on Reds and other agitators with
gregarious tendencies, and is making
their attempts to assemble and act
otherwise after their kind exceed
ingly difficult. AS a constabulary
force, working all hours and without
pay the legion's energy and effective
ness furnish an example the Govern
ment itself might initiate with con-
siderable advantage it is believed.
But we wish the legion wouldn't
go and break up the great nut con-
ference at st. Louis this week, which
we read it would like to do. This
gathering calls itself the committee
of forty-eight, and includes some of
our favorite nuts. Even taking them
singly they are, If not things of
beauty, joy forever, and what thev
would be if they all got together is
a speculation we have been pleasing
our fancy with ever since we heard
they had called a meeting.
But seriously, so long as these radi-
calls confine themselves to urging
changes in the Government by con-
stitutional means, and do not advo-
cate Violence, they have right to
get together and talk and organize
new parties as much as they please.
Our American way is to let every
body present any plan of government
he likes so long as his appeal is to
the ballotboX and not to the bomb.

his retnrn from the national capital
where he was doomed for the Re-
pal lioan nomination for the presi-
dency. Governor Sproul addressed
the Republican national committee
while in Washington.
referring to the contest between
Mayor elect Moore and the Wares

Governor said he would welcome a
test OF strength at the spring pri-
maries," continues the Record. HE
declared that until there was such
q test it would be hard for the
state Administration to align itself
with either side. He took occasion
to praise the cabinet appointments
already announced by Mr.. Moore,
following n conference with the
Mayor-elect in the Union League"

Newspaper in TypeWriting

When the newspaper printers in
effect was not exactly what the
printers expected. Instead of ad-
mitting defeat and bowling to the
demand of the unions, the publish
ers found enough workers in the
various trades involved in news
paper making to man two plants.
Then the papers of the two main
political parties pooled their efforts,
one in plant, and proceeded to pub
lish abridged editions embodying
editorials from all and general news
matter that all would carry ordin-
arily. The composite sheet, even
carried some of the advertisements
that had been running in all the
papers.
Three foreign newspapers with
Paris editions printed in English
were represented in the combina-
column in the printed strike" edi-
ton, the London Daily Mail put out
a separate daily issue of its own,
typed on regulation typewriter
paper. These were distributed to
subscribers in the regular way. The
editions consisted of three to eight
pages and contained almost as much
news as the regular editions, but
boiled down to the essence and di-
vested absolutely of all literary
trimmings" Domestic and foreign
news and gossip of society, sports,
church and the scientific world, all
were covered.
But there were no advertisements
except one line of four words on the
first page calling attention to the
duplicating process by which the
paper was published

ideas of monumental structures
cluttering up already crowded
thoroughfares. They understood
that the NOSE obscure and conven-
lent such a building is, the better
from every standpoint, and so put
the entire structure under the sur
face of the street, where it is out
of the way and easily reached from
the very heart of the city's heav-
lest traffic.
That's what should be done IN
Harrisburg. City council could not
do better than spend the public
comfort station loan along lines de-
veloped in Allentown. The need is
great and now is the time to start.

SHADE TREES

WYE BELIEVE that the time
w has come in Harrisburg for
the founding of Shade
Tree Commission, and there ought
not be any longer necessity for argu-
ment on that proposition. The re-
cent report of the City Forester en-
phasizes still more the actual need
for such a commission, as provided
by the Legislature several years ago,
but which was never accepted by
Harrisburg. This newspaper has
had occasion to commend the pres
ent City Council for it's progressive
spirit and would be more than de-
lighted to see the Commissioners
come to the rescue of our shade
trees while it is yet time. May we
not urge that Commissioner Gross
have prepared a proper ordinance
and submit it to the council at an
early date.

taxes: Although Pennsylvania was
the first State in the Union to i'm
pose an inheritance tax, and more
over, with the exception of tax on
bank dividends and on the recording
of certain papers, the collateral in
heritance tax was the first State levy
which was authorized, it would ap-
pear by the estimates which have
been made on the States share from
the Frick millions, that this State
has been modest and unselfish in de-
veloping this field of revenue"
Governor Sproul has received

speech at Washington. Some of them
are from New York and Washing
ton. New York newspapers printed
his speech extensively.

In addition to this strong claim of the
present speaker on the Democratic floor
leadership it was recalled by house vet

job.
