the suggestions outlined. Reduced
to skeleton form they are as fol-
lows:
BY organizing local committees,
both white and colored, in as

the consideration of inter-racial
problems.
By the employment of negro
physicians, nurses and policemen
as far as practicable in work for

of the country q workable, sensible

VOTE TOMORROW

TT IS the duty of every voter to
i participate in the primary cleo
tions. The kind of officials we
have depends upon the type OF men
we nominate. The man who takes
no part in the nominations should
not complain if candidates are put in
the field who are not up to his
standards or who do not believe as
he does. A big field of aspirants
offers the voter at this time ample
opportunity for selection in either
party.
But, aside from the immediate
importance of helping select city
and county tickets, there is the duty
of each citizen to exercise his right
of suffrage in this period of social
unrest The voter who believes
thoroughly in the American form
of Government will not neglect his
duty. There is no form of Govern
ment so responsive to popular will
as that of the United States. If pub
lie officials or governmental poll
cies do not suit a majority of the
citizens they have only to wait un-
til election time to change them. But
participation in the elections is an
essential to that end. We cannot
remedy evils or change conditions
by grumbling about them or by dis
cussing them in fiannel-mouthed
orations on the street corners.
Next year we are to have q Presi-
dental election. The people of the
country expressed their sentiments
at the polls last November by the
election of a Republican Congress.
They can go a long way toward re-
turning the party to full power next
year If they give Republican candi-
dates their support this fall, and the
time to begin is at the primaries.
Do your duty as an American
citizen by going to the polls to-
morrow Don't have 1t said of you
that you thought so little of your
franchise that a party worker had
to get you out or that you missed
your vote entirely.

CHANCE FOR CONGRESS

A WRITER in Life" advises
"A Congress, which has abolished
the Daylight Saving system
at least so far as Federal law is
concerned - to go a little farther
and do away with tomorrow.
Doubtless "Life's" correspondent
intended to be humorous. but really
he has hit upon something worth
while. In the first place tomorrow
- like most of our troubles is
a constant worry to most of us and
never comes. The man has not yet
been born who has seen tomorrow
and yet its threat Is constantly
impending. If we could abolish to-
morrow the future could be allowed
to take care of itself and the pro-
verbal "rainy days" would have no
terrors for us. BY all means Con-
gress should take up this matter.
After the Daylight Saving" fiasco
our Federal lawmakers should not
hesitate to try their hand on to-
morrow day that is not, never
was and never will be.

An American Labor Leader
New York Timesl

OF John Mitchell, who died in this
city recently, Chairman Straus, OF
the Public Service Commission, said
on the occasion of a dinner given to
Mr. Mitchell on his 4Sth birthday
that he had made as large a con-
tribution as any man of his day
and generation to the mutual well
fare of employers and wage-earners
John Mitchell was one of the most
remarkable Americans of our time,
judged by his triumph over diffi-
culties of birth and environment
and the influence as a citizen which
he exercised in the last half of a
toilsome and active life. He wos
born in the pits mouth, going To
school from to 10. At 10 -.e was
working in a coal mine. At 25 he
was an officer of the United Mime
Workers of America, self-educatcd,
an authority on economies, and
something of a lawyer, all his learn
ing acquired under the lamp after
the days labor.
John Mitchell, was under 80
when he became president of tie
United Mine Workers of America.
and for nine years he fought its
battles without losing the respect of
any man. His commonsense, his
fairness in controversy, his cour-
age, and his public spirit made HIM
a national figure.

A SENSIBLE PROGRAM

" HE program for the improve
ment of race relations pre-
sented at the recent confer
ence of governors at Salt Lake City
contains some very excellent sug-
gestions and as whole offers a very
sensible treatment of the problem.
The program is covered in three
general subjects-First, that the
negro should be freed from the
blighting fear of injustice and mob
violence; second, that the citizen
ship rights of the negro should be
safeguarded, ana, finally, that there
be closer cooperation between
white and colored citizens, without
encouraging any violation of race
integrity.
Lynching should be prevented, it
is urged. by the enlistment of ne
groes themselves in preventing of
crimes that provoke mob violence
and by prompt trial and speedy ex-
ecution of persons guilty of heinous
crimes. Those who framed the pro
gram believe, also, that legislation
should be passed making it unneces-
sary for a woman to appear and
testify in public in such cases and
giving the Governor of State
authority to dismiss a sheriff for
failure to protect prisoner in his
charge.
This is constructive doctrine and
people of the North will sympathize
also with the negro's effort to pro-
tect his rights as a citizen in locali-
ties where he no longer has a vote.
The black man is entitled to travel
ing accommodations as good as
those provided for the white, and he
ought to have better housing, even
as many white people in all parts
of the country are entitled to real
houses instead of the shanties in
which they live, and with better
houses should come the adequate
educational and recreational facili-
ties for which the program calls.
Those who framed the recon-
mendations touched upon an admit
tedly delicate subject when they en-
tered upon a discussion of closer re-
lations between the races, but even
the most radical Southern negro

The One American Failure
[From the Philadelphia Public
Ledgerl

[From the Philadelphia Public
Ledgerl
The weak spot in the American
line is her municipal politics. If a
frank student of American public
affairs were to be asked to put his
finger on the chief peril to the per-
manence of our democratic institu-
tons, he would without hesitation
lay it most accusingly on the chronic
misgovernment of our big cities,
That seems to be the one thing we
cannot do. We can make industry
hum; we can pile up money; we can
invent and discover, and we can beat
the world at educating the masses
and raising the level of average in
telligence and even comfort. But we
simply lack the knowledge or the
pluck or the patriotism which would
enable us to govern ourselves in
large communities.
New York with Tammany, Phila-
delphia with its Wares, Chicago, San
Francisco and Boston are the names
of Americas lost battles.
Why?
Haven't we the brains that give
Scotland her model Glasgow and
England her Manchester and Bir-
ningham The brains are our spe-
"ialty But what we have not got
is that splendid spirit of self sacri-
hcing pluck as applied to municipal
itruggles which sent our lads so
gallantly into battle for the good
government of the outside world
There are far too many of us who
ire "slackers" in the very war which
means most to our homes, to our
children, to our women folk and to
tho future of American democraczs

OUR SERVICE LIST

TOR THE men themselves, for
the sake of their children and
in the interest of accurate his
tory, If a member of your family
saw service during the war with
Germany see to it that the postman
gets a record of the fact when he
calls this week.
The soldiers themselves are apt
to be careless. either through mis-
taken modesty or because they have
had their fill of the war and all that
pertains thereto. They may neglect
to see that they are listed on the
city's roll of service men. But their
families owe them and the city a
duty to see that their names are en-
rolled.
The list is to include every man
who wore a uniform - whether
soldier. sailor or marine - and it
should be complete to the last name.

Out Of Fog Into Sunshine
[From Kansas City Star.l

II lOli iNhhSdo lily oldTJ
The midst of rhetoric in which the
President has been enveloping the
discussion of the League of Nations
on his swing around the circle is
cleared away by the report of the
foreign relations committee of the
Senate. After hearing of the league
as the preventive of war, the remedy
for Bolshevism, the cure for high
cost of living, the bulwark for the
farmers wheat, it is like coming out
of fog into brilliant sunshine to read
the practical and intensely Ameri-
can statement of the committee.
1t analyses the league in the light
of experience and of knowledge of
the real world we live in. 1t points
out that in it's present shape the
league is an alliance in which Amer
lea is called on to play the other fell
lows game, to take hand in every
European quarrel. 1t ridicules the
senseless bogey that has been raised
of Americas dangerous isolation"
If it should refuse to join the league.
1t suggests the changes that are alb
solutely essential if we are to take
a hand. And finally it offers this
fine alternative to the Presidents
plan:
THE United States can serve the
cause of peace best as she has served
it in the past, and do more to secure
liberty and civilization throughout
the world by proceeding along the
paths she has always followed and
by not permitting herself to be fet-
tered by the dictates of other ma
tions or immersed and entangled in
all the broils and conflicts of Eu-'
rope"
Mr.. Wilson has asked in his
speeches for some constructive sug-
gestions if the league is to be de-
feated. The foreign relations COM
mittee presents them.
In following the policy it outlines
has America ever failed in it's duty
to the world?

CONSTITUTION DAY

= EFT every school in session in
Harrisburg on Wednesday OBJ
serve Constitution Day. Sep
tember II is the anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution of the
United States, next to the Declara-
ton of independence the greatest
document in American history and
the foundation of liberty not only of
the United States but of a score of
nations.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this
city should observe this day. Har-
risburg is the capital of the second
State to ratify the document. 1t is
the capital of the State wherein the
Constitution was drafted and where
in the representatives finished sign
ing on September II. 1897. 1t is the
capital of the State where opposing
opinions clashed the hardest, finding
expression nowhere more vigorous
than right IN Harrisburg itself.
So, therefore, in recognition of
those ancestors of ours who, when
they did not like all of what was
provided, bowed to the will of the
majority and most Loyalty stood by
the Constitution: and in this year.
when the sons of Harrisburg by the
thousand are coming home from
victorious war waged to carry out
the principles of that great palla-

its tenets.

Henry Ford in the trial which
netted him six cents in suit for
million dollars. Now it is handling
publicity for President Wilson in his

result will be about the same.

Food Prices
Are Increasing.

During the last fifty or seventy
five years principally since lS40)
while the large cities in this country
and Europe have been growing the
established agricultural areas that
produced food were supplemented by
the opening up Of new lands in the
middle West, Canada, Brazil. Argen-
tina, South and Central Africa, Aus
tralia and Siberia.
Food products, chiefly grains and
meats, were produced on virgin, I'M
fortified lands. Emigrant labor was
employed and subsequently there was
cheap railroad and steamship trans
potation, so until recently the people
in cities have been fed on food pro-
duced and sold at price which did
not take into consideration the cost
Of production and the value Of plant
food contained in crops which must
be returned to the soil to maintain
productivity. Report of the Food
