COMING TO 1T

"HE most progressive cities in
the country have smoke-abate-
ment regulations and Harris
burg should get in line with the
progress of the times in this respect.
We have much more smoke than is
necessary. Go to the hills opposite
Harrisburg along the West Shore or
to Reservoir Park and see how the
beauty of the city is marred by the
dark, dingy cloud that hangs con-
get rid of sixty-five per cent. of it's
smoke, so can we, and that would
make Harrisburg one of the clean
est cities in the country.
The recklessness with which smoke
is poured out by the railroads and
mills of Harrisburg is a disgrace.
Property Is damaged and made un-
slightly and some sections rendered
unfit for human habitation. We are
Just about to develop here the most
beautiful formal park in the world
and to build new Capitol buildings
and a monumental bridge. Are we
going to make them targets for a
constant volley of SCOT and cinder ?
Contrary to popular belief, smoke
in Objectionable volume is not neces-
sary either to mill or railroad op-
Grafton. Every shovelful of coal
that comes out the stack in the form
of smoke represents fuel wasted.
Smoke prevention needs no costly
apparatus, but it does require care
full firing. Once the subject and the
method of treatment are more fully
understood there will be no objec-
ton to preventative measures in
Harrisburg. We are coming to it,
slowly but surely.

SHALL WE EXPORT LUMBER?

construction of which Southern pine
lumber enters to the extent of $780,
OOO,O feet; the manufacturers of
agricultural implements, using 10O,-
100000 feet, and the manufacturers
of vehicles, furniture and wooden
ware and the builders of ships and
boats, all of whom use large guam
titles of Southern pine? The in
crease in the price of this lumber
must affect the cost of their prod
ucts, and therefore eventually the
welfare of the farmer, the worker
and the plain citizen who buys these
commo odities.
These facts do not, however, in
Mr.. Graves Judgment indicate that
the export business should be cur
tailed as much as possible, but rather
that immediate steps should be taken
to keep the forest lands of the coun-
try productive. The Southern yell
low pine lands, for example, instead
of being practically exhausted in the
next ten or fifteen years under the
present methods of exploitation
could, II fully stocked and in good
growing condition, provide all the
yellow pine lumber necessary for
domestic needs and leave a much
larger surplus for export than is
being shipped to-day. AS the chief
forester sees it, The public must
take cognizance of the dissipation of
our forest wealth and insist on the
use of constructive methods of hand
ling forests instead of destructive
exploitation. 1t will be necessary
that the public, through appropriate
legal and administrative measures,
insist upon adequate forest protec-
ton and the use of such methods of
cutting as will make possible forest
replacement by natural reproduce
ton. At the same time, the public
must literally assist the owners in
such measures as are necessary to
make good forest handling a feasible
matter. Such a. policy, coupled with
a broad policy of public acquisition
of forests-national, state and mu-
nicipal-would make safe and wise
the announcement in a large way of
the export of lumber and other for
est products"

course, no stone will be left un-
turned by the militant Republican
management in this district to roll
up a big majority on November,
because next year is a Presidential
year and the showing mades by Re-
publicans at this time will have a
great weight in the Spring primary,
when delegates to the National
convention are selected, not to
mention the Presidential election
itself in November, 1920.
While it is "all over but the
shouting" in Harrisburg and Dau-
phin county, so far as election of
the Republican ticket is concerned,
it is the duty of every Republican
voter to go to the polls in Novem-
ber and record himself in favor of
the party that not only gives good
administration locally, but which
promises reforms in National af-
fairs vitality important to the whole
country.

NOT FOR THE U. S.

"HE English government pro-
poses the Standardization of
women's garments. increasingly
nine variety has given rise to the sug-
gestion that II half million of these
standard" costumes and coat frocks
be manufactured. During the war
many English women We're content
to wear this style of dress, but they
called it uniform and felt that
they were doing their bit by wear
ing it.
The soldier felt the same way
about his uniform, but the haste
with which he discarded it the mo-
ment his discharge papers were is
sued gives rise to the suspicion that
women will feel somewhat the same
way about the standardized gowns
they are being asked to don.
We in America will watch with
interest this latest experiment in
feminine finery, but in our hearts
we will hope it will not succeed. The
olly opOI oil Tic <AliiSll
landscape these days is the Ameri-
can girl in her infinite variety of
millinery and costume. Remove that
and you take away from the scene
not only it's greatest attraction, but
you abolish the most popular theme
of conversation that has yet been
devised TO while away the deadly
afternoon call or trip home on the
street car. What we wonder, would
women talk about, if they all wore
the same kind of dress. What
would become of the editors Of
fashion magazines, what would the
department store advertisers write
about, who would dare get up Il
dance or Il dinner party, what would
be the use of having u good-looking
wife. who would dare devise a stand
ard garment and tell an American
woman she had to wear it?
A lot of heroes have come home
from the fields of France, but it
would take more than the offer of
CroiX de Guerre or even the
French Legion of Honor TO induce
an American soldier to suggest any
such scheme as the English govern
ment has put forth in that country.
The American woman is a law unto
herself and her dress knows neither
the limitation of law or economy
She wears what she wants to wear
whether she can afford it or not, and
standardized garments have ever
been so unpopular here that if the
prosperous Mrs. Jones discovers that
the less prosperous Mrs. Smith has
garment of precisely the same cut
as her new gown she lays it away
sorrowfully or passes it along to the
lady who docs her weekly wash,
with unkind remarks concerning the
lack of ingenuity of dressmakers
who must use one pattern for two
dresses.

LOST REPUTATION

KIT WAS in the reign of George
the Third" Charles Dickens
tells us in his Child's History
of England, that England lost North
America, by persisting in taxing her
without her own consent. That i'm
mense country, made Independent
under Washington, and left to it
self, became the United States; one
of the greatest nations of the earth.
In these times in which l write,
GS5D it is honourably remarkable
for protecting it's subjects, wherever
they may travel, with a dignity and
a determination which is a model
for England"
What would Dickens say to-day
could he but contemplate the
shameful history of our relations
with Mexico, and review the policy
of note writing that preceded by
many months our entrance into the
war with Germany, resulting there
by in the unnecessary destruction of
thousands of lives and the waste of
billions of treasure?

RESULTS CERTAIN

A STUDY of the returns of
u Tuesdays election in Harris
burg and Dauphin county only
serve to emphasize the dominance
of the Republican party as indi-
Gated by the enrolment and regis
tration figures for this year. In some
cases defeated Republican candi-
dates polled twice and three times
as many votes as victorious Demo-
Gratis. The hopelessness of the
whole Democratic situation is ap-
parent at a glance.
Republicans should accept with
a grain of salt Democratic news
paper reports of dissatisfaction
among those Republicans who failed
at the primary elections. Every
Republican who went into the pri-
maries fully expected, if nominated,
to receive the support of all other
Republicans at the general cleo
tons, and those who won out last
Tuesday having made the fight in
good faith, are entitled to the votes
of those who went down in the pri-
mary contests.
Republicans generally are well
content with the outcome. A strong
ticket, made up of honest men of
good reputation without exception,
has been named and so far as the Re-
publican candidates are concerned
there can be no mudslinging. The
record of the party in office is so
good that even censorious Demo-
cratic critics have been unable to
dig up anything for use in their po-
litical campaigns. The county Of
fees have been we'll managed, the
county's money well spent and the
interests of the taxpayers carefully
safeguarded. In addition, the long
dispute over mine property valua-
tons has been put in a fair way of
a settlement from which the public
purse will be greatly enriched.
County Commissioners Stine and
Cumbler who are out for re-elec-
ton deserved the tremendous vote
they received on Tuesday and their
election Is assured.
The overwhelming vote by which
their colleagues on the ticket were
nominated is ample proof that they
stand in high favor with the voters
of both city and county and so fai
as Democratic opposition is con
cerned they are already elected. OF

New Daylight SdDing Plan
(Forbes Magazine.)


Many men who have achieved
much have the habit of working
while others sleep. John H. Pat
terson, the dynamic head of the
National Cash Register Company,
for many years never went to bed
without pad and pencil at his bed
side. and rarely did morning find
the pad empty. He got up at 5
O'Clock and had one days work
done by noon. Incidentally, the
move which led julius RosenwaId,
head Of Sears, Roebuck & Company,
to success and wealth, came to him
and was decided upon in the middle
of the night, many years ago. The
idea which won E. c. Simmons,
founder OF the Simmons Hardware
Company, fame and fortune also
came to him between midnight and
dawn.

The Open Hand

[By Beatrice Cameron Mansfield. ]
See, dear, my hand is open-you
are free!
1 would not hold you by single
thread.
All love l give you, but with liberty,
For love held by restraint is cold
and dead.
Upon my palm a bird comes, wings
alight;
Love bids me clasp it closely to
my breast;
But as it poises for its instant
fight
My steady hand haven makes,
of rest.
So bird and man are mine, 1 leave
them free,
They fly into the world, but with
smile
I say, "Godspeed!" For surely back
to me
Will come my man, my bird, to
rest awhile.
So, Love, l give you perfect lib
erty-
Look. dear. my hand is open! You
are free!

OUR LITTLE TOWNS

40 TOWN or village of Central
nj Pennsylvania is so small or
- so poor that it cannot afford
a welcome home celebration in
honor of the young men of the COM
munity who went out to save the
Nation from the Hun. This is a
good sign. 1t indicates a deep, un-
derlying, patriotic sentiment that
marks the present wave of discon-
tent as a surface movement without
great force and that will spend itself
in time, leaving the Nation all the
stronger and better for the expert
ence.
The little town always was and
always will be one of the bulwarks
of American democracy. There life
is quiet and normal. The currents
of disturbing influences pass it by,
or at most it feels no more than the
backwash the floods of radicalism
and foreign thought that are con-
stantly buffeting the great centers
of population. People grow up and
grow old in the houses where they
were born. The little things of life,
as the city sees them, loom large in
the lives of those who reside in the
small towns. Thrift is there, and
true home-life and a reverence OF
the flag and our National institu.
tions that nothing can shake.
Thank God for our little towns
and villages.

- UICKER depletion of our forest

~ UICKER depletion of our forest
~ resources, with higher prices
" and shortage of raw materials
in our wood-using industries, is pre-
dicted by Henry S. Graves, Chief of
the United States Forest Service, in
a recent pamphlet entitled Lumber
Export and Our Forests" provided
present attempts to increase lumber
exports are not accompanied by
steps to secure our forests. Says a
Forestry Bureau bulletin:
We are already, according to Mr..
Graves, cutting three times as much
wood each year as the forests grow
while on the privately owned timber
lands, which supply practically all
of the material for export, no effort
is being made to secure replacement
after cutting. Under these condi-
uons any increase in our export trade
will merely aggravate the shortage
that is now felt, resulting in hard
ship on the wood-using industries
and the public in general. Southern
yellow pine, the author points out.
affords a particularly good example
OF the dangers attendant on any at
tempt to increase exports without at
the same time changing present
methods of utilization. While the
remaining supply at the present rate
of cutting will be exhausted in about
A years, Southern yellow pine still
leads in our cut and constitutes about
one-half of our export trade. and
consequently sets the pace for the
price of lumber. An increase, there
fore, in the Southern pine export
business will likely be followed by
increases in lumber prices all along
the line. This may be considered q
favorable condition from the stand
point of the lumber industry. But
what about the building trade, which
uses over 5000, 600, 900 feet of South
ern pine lumber; the railroads,
which use 4,0OO,0o0,000 feet for ties
and timbers, and the manufacture
of boxes and crates, using 25O,OOO,-
600 feet of Southern pine lumber /;
the builders of railroad cars, in the

WALKING AT NIGHT
[By Amory Hare.l

10y HiilolS IldIe'I
My face is wet with the rain
But my heart is warm to the core,
For 1 follow at will again
The road that L loved of yore;
And the dim trees beat the dark,
And the swelling bitches moan,
But my heart is a singing, soar
ing lark,
For l travel the road alone,
Alone in the living night,
Away from the babble of
tongues;
Alone with the old delight
OF the night wind in my lungs;
And the wet air on my cheeks
And the warm blood in my veins,
Alone with the joy he knows
who seeks
The thresh of the young spring
rains,
With the smell of the pelted
earth,
The fearful drip of the trees,
Making him dream of the sound
of mirth
That comes with the clearing
breeze.
'Tis a rare and wondrous sight
To tramp the wet awhile
Anu WatCn the SLOW uellght
OF the suns first pallid smile,
And hear the meadows breathe
again
And see the far woods turn
green,
Drunk with the glory of wind
and rain
And the suns warm smile be-
tween!
I have made me a vagrant song,
For my heart is warm to the
core,
And I'm glad, oh, glad, that the
night is long
For I travel the road once more,
And the dim trees beat the dark
And the swelling bitches moan,
With the joy of the singing, soar
ing lark
I travel the road, alone!
