THE PUBLIC APPROVES

- HE courageous stand of. Gov
ernor Sproul in the western
strike riots will he commend
ed by every law abiding citizen of
Pennsylvania. At whatever cost, the
public must be protected from the
disorderly element that always takes
advantage of disturbed conditions to
vent its lawless inclinations upon
helpless people.
There are among the foreigners
on strike men who are there for no
good end. They are agitators who
have gotten into the mills for the
express purpose sof stirring up strife
between employer and employe and
thus furthering their own selfish
purpose. which is to overthrow the
government of the United States.
Governor Sproul is right when he
says that Pennsylvanians are law
abiding people and he is merely
carrying out the desires of ninety
nine per cent. of the residents OF
this State when he says that what
ever measures are necessary Will he
taken to enforce the laws ana pro-
tect the public.
In times of disturbance there are
no innocent bystanders and the good
citizen will refrain from violating
the law in any respect. Others must
expect to be dealt with accordingly.

Washed in the blood of the brave

Snatched from the affairs of in

Burning with star-fires, but never

Flash it's broad ribbons of lily and
rose.
Vainly the prophets of Baal would
rend it,
Vainly his worshipers pray for it's
fall;
Thousands have died for it, millions
defend it,
Emblems of justice and mercy to
all.
Justice that reddens the sky with
her terrors,
Mercy that comes with her white
handed train.
Smoothing all passions, redeeming
Sheathing the saber and breaking
the chain.
Borne on the deluge of old usurpa-
tionS
Drifted our ark Ger the desolate
seas,
Bearing the rainbow of hope to the
nations,
Torn from the storm cloud and
flung to the breeze
God bless the flag and it's loyal de-
tenders.
While it's broad folds DER the bat
tlefield wave,
Till the dim star-wreath rekindles
its splendors
Washed from its stains in the
blood of the brave

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER

TT IS encouraging at this period
to observe the fine feeling which
- is manifested in the attitude of
organizations of eX-soldiers now
being formed in this city. This week
the Veterans of Foreign Wars ar
ranged for a parade on a certain
evening and the Harrisburg post of
the American Legion, which had
also called a meeting for the same
evening, Immediately cancelled the
date and arranged for another eve
ming to avoid conflict with the other
association. This is the right spirit,
inasmuch as there is no real rivalry
or competition between the two or
ganizations, one making eligible for
it's membership those who have seen
service outside the country and the
Legion providing for all who have
participated in the great war be-
tween May, 1917, and November.
1918, whether at home or abroad.
Harrisburg is patriotic com
munity and these organizations will
serve to keep alive the fires Of
patriotism and loyalty to country so
necessary in views of what has tran
spired during recent wcekG. y
strong and virile Amerlcanism is
necessary to the perpctuity of the in
stitutions for which America has
stood and will continue to stand.
The American Legion and the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars will follow
naturally in the footsteps of that
splendid organization, the Grand
Army of the Republic which has
given devoted service in war and in
peace and which will continue to do
so as long as these old comrades
survive.
The American people have con-
fidence in their soldier sons and look
to them to blaze the way to II still
higher civilization.

observing with interest the
tree-planting movement in Harris

tenders the cooperation of the i'm
portant department of which he is
head.

Gross contains some practical sug-
gestions which will doubtless have

tant of these is the adoption by city
Council of the shade tree law. which

risburg long ago.

authority vested in a proper COM
mission to look after the trees we
may expect this condition to con-
tinue.
1t is encouraging to note the ac-
tivties of the Department of Parks
with respect to tree planting, but
some constructive program must be
outlined, to the end that we may
have n real planting period during
the next month. Individuals can do
much themselves by arranging for
the planting of trees along their-side-
walks or. on their premises and these
should consult tree authorities with

lIrvin S. Cobb in the Saturday Even
ing Post
1t seems to me one of the chief
peculiarities of human nature is
that it divides all civilized mankind
into two special groups-those who
think they could run any newspaper
better than the man who is trying to
run 1T, and those who think thew
could run any hotel better than the
man who is hanging on as manager
or proprietor of it. These are sub
divisional classifications of course
for example, women who think thew
can tell any other woman how to
bring up her children without spoil
ing them to death, and women who
are absolutely sure no woman on
earth can tell them anything about
the right way to bring up their own
children; which two groupings in
clude practically all women.

Denies Charges Of
Bad Cable Service
10 South America

John l.. Merrill, president of the Mex
lean Telegraph Company and the Cen
trail and South American Telegraph
Company, yesterday emphatically de-
MED the allegations of New York bank
ers regarding cable service between
New York and South American peints
Mr.. Merrill took issue with the CHARGE
made that the British cable companies
were supplying a more rapid service
from London to South American noints
and pointed out the company maintains
a thlrty-mnute service to Buenos Ayres.
7,4o2 miles from New York.
Mr. MerrllPs statement follows:
For over thirty-tive years the ALL
American cables, American owned
nave provided an unequalled cable SER
vice between the United States and
South America. No expense has been
spared to make this service with South
America the best cable service in the
world. Our service with Bucnos Ayres
(i,4o2 mlles) Is a thirty minute SER
wee, and similar good service is en-
ana South America touched by our
lines.
Delay Through Censorship
During the existence of censorsb;,
regulations some delay is bound to
occur-before the message is reloased
but the remarkable service which
our system has rendered since the
commencement of the world war is.
we we feel sure, appreciated by the ca
ping public of the three Americas.
we alone have maintained a full SER
vice for all classes of trafiic-full rate.
deferred rate and press rate-during
the war.
Ever since 1868 this American COM
pany has been endeavoring to cstab-
Ilsh direct cable communication with
brazll, but exclusive concessions en-
Joyed by British cable companies have,
until now, prevented US from extend
ing our cables to Brazil. In 1917 we
were successful in securing a conces
SION from Brazil and the cable is now
being manufactured for the extensions
or our American owned cables from
their present terminus in Buenos
Ayres to the cities of Santos and Rio
de Janeiro, in Brazil, and we hope to
complete these extensions before the
end of this year.
We have likewise received n con-
cession from Brazil for a cable from
Rio de Janeiro northward to our
present cable station at Guantanamo
Cuba. thence to New York (probablv
touching at Porto Rico and ST..
lhomas). and we shall make this CON
nection Just as soon as we can pur-
chase the necessary cable.
Fast Service
, In the meantime messages from
Brazil over our American Macs are
being transmitted from New s"sork to
onenos Ayres and there transferred
