MOORE IS ENDORSED
As NEW DISRAELI"
DR.. Howard S. Andets Calls for
Mayor to Safeguard
Health Of City

philadelphia is decent but disguised
and disconnected with much of its po-
litical past. Shall cleanliness be for
ever on the scaffold and contractocracy
forever on the throne?"
This is the comment Of DR.. Howard
s. Anders, who urges abolition of "con-
tractocracy'' and pleads for n new
Disraeli" at the helm of the CITY gov
eminent. He indorses the candidacy
of Congressman Moore. Said Doctor
Anders:
''The inference is clear and obvious :
abolish contractor government (con-
tractocracy) if you. want clean streets,
inasmuch as that kind of government
has been responsible for Philadclphia's
unenviable reputation for being about
the dirtiest and busiest and Mt the same
time the only big city in the United
States that so uneconomically and in
efficiently failed to do that work itself.
Disraeli put it right when he said The
care of the public health is the first
duty of Il statesman Philadelphia
needs such a statesman at the helm.
''In among the golden threads of a
new c0uncllmanlc representation, new
financial budget and better administra
ton under n new charter generally run
the silver threads of municipal cleanli
ness and public health.
"In the composition and expression
Of Philadelphia's fugue of freedom thu
one fundamental, foremost theme il
public welfare insistent upon public
health, with its counterpart of con
tractocracy, whatever the development
in the variations of the formers ben
Gifts and the %latter's evils. And through
it all thunders the deep diapason' Of
the virile voice of j. Hampton Moore

THE ELECTION.

Tuesdays election brought forth
many surprises to voters in this
county. The Republicans who were
successful can contribute their cleo
ton to the disgruntled Democrats
who carried out their threat to knife
the ticket to settle an old sore or
some mistake made by the Demo
Gratis during their national and State
administration. Some voters voted
for a candidate who was supposed to
be "wet'', and the others for those
who were dry" The dry voters
came out on top from the complexion
of the returns. 1t is high time the
wet voters drop their issue as the
hand writing is out for good de-
spell" The Democrats are not dis
satisfied with the result as they Sc
cured Mr.. Samuel }. Stone as the
county treasurer. John p. Klee, f"r
the Legislature and Thomas J.
Haines as Judge of the Orphans
Court These men are able and cap
able to fill the duties of the oIft es
entrusted to them.

The Lutheran Campaign for Beneyo-
lpncN.

The Every Member Canvass cam
paign for BenevOlence, with us
slogan, Double the Apportionment, "
to be held Thanksgiving week, NO
vember % to 80, in all congregations
OF the United Lutheran church In
America, is we'll under way, and
Judging from reports from over the
country will be one Of the greatest
efforts the Lutherans have ever made.
The executive committee or the
church has made out a budget OF
$1.345,5OO which is the minimum
amount needed by the church with
which to carry on the benevolent
work of the church in these times OF
high prices and unprecedented oppor-
tunities. If the church is to cope
with the situation confronting her,
she must be enabled to do 50 by the
Willingness of each and every mem
Der to render better and more con-
sacrated service of every kind.
While the campaign is primarily
for the benevolent work of the
church and this should be the object
i'm mind, the canvassers will also be
instructed to urge better and more
regular church attendance, more
faithfulness upon the means OF grace
and an enlistment into some definite
kind of service in one or more of the
church's organizations. The cam
paign will be in fact revival and
quickening of the church's life, and
who will say that the christian
church everywhere does not need 1T,
particularly at this time following the
great world war with its demoraliZa-
tion and astounding revelations?
Regular weekly contributions,
through the duplex envelopes for
benevoIence from every man, woman
and child who il member OF the
Lutheran church will be aimed at by
the canvassers. We pay double and
treble for the necessities Of life and
for pleasure, why not to the Lord?
Every good Lutheran will be ready
for this campaign and will not be
found wanting.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP.

Many people will feel when the Red
Cross solicitor calls this year, that
the war is over. and that they are
excused from further participation in
this noE:e work.
Yet the hungry are just as hungry
@s they were a year ago and there
are millions of them Other millions
OF people are today practically max
ed Their pitiful rags offer no real
protection against the blasts of Win
ter 1t will take years for the suffer
ing populations to get back to nor
NAL standard of comfort.
Many people will complain because
a lot OF this money will be sent
abroad. Yet the suffering is so ap-
palling that the cry Of despair ought
TO be heard even at this distance
When people are begging piteously
for food and clothing enough to keep
them alive. it is a pretty poor excuse
to say that they live i'm another coun-
try and that therefore the happy and
prosperous folks here at home are
under no obligation to help them
The calls of suffering and calamity
are incessant. Constantly there are
floods and fires and other disasters
i'm this country that leave people
homeless and penniless. Some
agency must be ready to step in on
such occasions and it must have a
big fund of money so it can act at
once
When such disaster as the recent
Galveston flood comes along, a dollar
today is worth ten dollars next week
or next month. The Red Cross has
all the machinery for instantaneous
action 1t can step at once into any
town on this continent where Gala
nifty has occurred and distribute the
necessities Of life through its high
ly trained and skillful experts 1T
costs but a little to join People and
neighborhoods who are overlooked by
the solicitors in the coming drive
should send along their membership
fees.

The REAL TRAITOR

In his recent speech in Lake Charles, Ex-Governor

traitor to his party
We were one Of the many thousands in the third dis
trc who voted for Luther E. Hall for governor in 1912
We did So not from our acquaintance with Mr. Hall,
his political record but because he was making the
fight for clean Embossed Democracy IN Loulslana-he
principal feature in that campaign.
We knew John M. Parker and Parker said Hall was
the the great third district lined up soldy TOR
him.
racy and again as 1912 John NJ Parker is the great
leader In that past campaign he trusted the standard OF

We of the third district who the first to endorse
him, supported him the most loyalty believed In him the
firmly felt his treachery the most keenly-and now
take insult intelligence to Democracy, to
have Hall say that John M. Parker is changeing or
traitor.
Parker stands today where he stood in 1872 where he
has always soodn the front of the fight against the hosts
of oppression and the enemies of our Commonwealth
It was Parker, not Hall, that we followed in 1872
Hall only to an end And it is Parker today
whom will support In this same gh against the same
Bosses who opposed Hall In 1917
These political vutures have changed Parker

The TRAITOR is Mr.. Hall himself
Traitor to former friends traitor to Mr. Parker who
raised him from obscurity the foremost position in the
State traitor principle and that true Democracy for
which he fought

Germany Invades
British Home Markets.

A recent investigation
made in Great Britain dis
closed the fact that German
made goods of many varie-
ties are being sold, but are so
disguised that the purchasers
are unable to recognize their
origin. 1t is said that, with
out exception, these shop.
keepers pleaded that publici-
ty would ruin them, since the
public is still nursing its hat
red Of Germany and every
thing German, and, if it were
known that German goods
are on sale, the shops would
be stormed and wrecked by
angry mobs. Still, tempted
by extremely low prices Of
fered by the Germans, these
shopkeepers are purchasing
Germen toys, cutlery, and
other goods in considerable
quantities and selling them
to the unsuspecting British
public.
The report states that, in
order to conceal their origin,
the good1 are usually marked
made in Britain.

one phase of the cost of living
problem up to the consumer
by making it possible for the
purchaser of flour to decide

a lower price pure flour, made
from the finest wheat.
