You're a Rdilrodder
Nations Busin.essl


In the beginning America faced
the spaEning of a continent with
the prairie schooner.
Then, with a holy discomfort, we
set our energies to fashion a new
vehicle; and there was born-the
railroad
One of the great epics of industry
writes itself about the story of how
our Hills and our Harrimans match
ed their genius against time and
space-and won.
Their achievements have become
a commonplace but their vision and
resourcefulness opened up new
avenues for the nations commerce.
They made the railroad the hand
maiden of industry.
o-day every manager of n great
business enterprise has ar. interest
in the natic1's transportation great
er even than the shareholders. To
get his goods to market and to get
his raw materials to hand-both
ways he is a shipper.
The service you get, the rate you
pay, on both counts the railroad
situation concerns you importantly;
it touches vitality a, department of
your business.
The railroad problem, like the
poor. is always with us. But never
has it been more acute than now.
All are agreed upon the necessity
of a new order for tho railroads;
but what is it going to, be?l What
are the eggs going to look like un-
scrambled?

THE ROSE SHOW

THE enthusiasts who made pos
sible the city's second annual
rose show, which closed Sat
urday, deserve a vote of thanks. They
are pioneers in a good cause.
Within few years, it is to be
hoped, Harrisburg's rose show will
be an event of Statewide Importance
There is no reason why it should not
be. Comparatively few people know
it, but Harrisburg is the home of a
number of very unusual rose gardens
and some of them contain roses so
rare that they have not yet reached
the stage where they have been
raised in sufficient numbers to per-
NIT them to be marketed
But the rose show is not alone for
the man or woman who grows roses
by the thousands. 1t takes in every
thing from the big display down to
the single rose, and there are many
bushes in Harrisburg outside the
large gardens that boast blooms OF
prize-winning qualities.

THE CHORUS

RESIDENT WILSON changes
his mind and does not want a
= big navy and Daniels follows
suit. Wilson changes his mind and
declares for restoration of railroads
and wires to private operation, and
ce-President Marshall and Burle-
son change with him. Wilson
changes his mind and suggests that
dyes and chemicals be protected
from German competition, and
Immediately the Tariff Commission
changes, and Willie Redfield begins
to dig up statistics to support his
change of mind.
The ducks follow the drake.
When he quacks,. they quack. And
they would change right back again
if he gave the word.
But the Republican party has con-
sistently stood for an adequate
navy, for private control of rail-
roads and wires and for protection
to all domestic industries.
Now, which is the better, the
stauncher, the more steadfast party
to support?

War Toll, $4,000 Houses
[From the New York sun1

[From the New York Sum-
The ten most destructive confla-
grations of earth-the great fire of
London in 1866, the Chicago fire of
1872, and others-swept away or
ruined buildings to the number of
about 1900. To these must be
added the loss in San Francisco in
1906 which might bring the total
UP to one hundred thousand build
ings.
Yet in Northern France $4,000
buildings of various kinds-religious
municipal stores shops factories and
homes-have been demolished or
practically ruined by the Huns. Some
of these were destroyed by military
operations. but more of them were
waste of the industrial region OF
France. In Belgium the destruc-
ton was relatively as great and the
needlessness of much of it in both
lands is apparent from the fact that
buildings in German hands were
looted while they were Ttill intact,
their contents being shipped 20 Ger
many, and were thereafter demol-
ished by the Huns in their occu-
pancy of the territory or just as they
were being driven out.
No building in Germany proper
has been destroyed save for the few
that were bombed from the air in
reprisal for zeppelin raids. Ali Ger
many's structures are standing nm
harmed. All it's homes are habit
able; all its plants are in operation
or ready for work. This fact should
be thoroughly understood, throwing
light as it does on the financial con-
dition imposed on Garmany which
its delegates violently denounce and
threaten to reject

GoDernor Sprouts Desire

Governor Sprouts desire that
Pennsylvania shall promptly ratify
the prohibition amendment of the
Constitution is in harmony with cam
paign pledges on that subject. The
Commonwealth will eventually ratify
the amendment, no doubt, but If the
Legislature does not act at this ses-
sion the matter will have to go over
for nearly two years. by which time
a majority of the States will prob
ably have acted. Pennsylvania was
one of the leaders in the ratification
of the Federal Constitution, follow

which was the first to ratify The
income tax amendment never was
ratified by this State, and it was
among the very last to ratify the
amendment providing for the cleo
ton of United States Senators by

the Legislature by formal resolution
had declared in favor of that meth
cd. Pennsylvania is too big and too

To see-the dragon! He's goin' to
fiy!"
But fate wasn't as friendly to Da-
rius as she has been to his modern
prototype, for,
AS a demon is hurled by ar angels
spear,
Heels over head, to his proper
sphere.
Heels over head, and head over
heels,
Dizzily down the abyss he wheels
So fell Darius. Upon his crown,
In the midst of the barnyard he
came down
In a wonderful whirl of tangled
strings,
Broken braces and broken strings
Broker tail and broken wings,
Shooting stars and various things,
Barnyard litter of straw and chaff
And much that wasn't so sweet, by
half;
Away with a below fled the calf,
And what was that? Did the goslinc
laugh?
'Tis a merry roar from the old barn
door,
And he hears the voice of Jothanl
crying,
Say, Darius; how do you like
Hyin' =?
Slowly, ruefully, where he lay,
Darius just turned and looked that
way,
And he staEched his sorrowful nose
with his cuff,
Wall, 1 like flyin' we'll enough"
He said, but the amt sich a thun-
derin' sight
o. fun int when ye come to light
| just have room for the moral here;
And this is the moral-stick to your
sphere.
Or if you insist, as you have the
right,
On spreading your wings for a loftier
flight,
The moral is, take care how you
light.
Such was the tale of Darius Green
over which Americans had mary a
laugh. 1t was reprinted shortly be-
fore Grahame- White exhibition OF
1910, at which time Mr.. Trowbridge
remarked, II never dreamed when /
wrote that poem that such a thing
as a flying machine was even a pos
sibility in my lifetime" 1t is doubt
full if even then he dreamed of the
extent to which the flying machine
would be developed ir' the next de-
one seriously suggested a trans-At-
lantic flight, he would have received
somewhat the same reception from
the world as Darius received from
his brothers.

TYRONE NOT ALONE

EOPLE> residing along the Ty-

ing the Federal Railroad Admins
tration replace these with antiquated
wooden cars that are not only un-
comfortable, but dangerous. They
are going to appeal to the Public
Service Commission, but il will do
no good.
Tyrone folks are justified in COM
planning. Wooden cars of ancient
design are death-traps. Their place
is the scrap-heap. The Pennsy had
replaced them with steel coaches al
most entirely when the Government
took over the roads. Now, however,
the Federal administration is hunt
ing up what are left and returning
them to service. This is regretta BILE,
but not surprising. Every step of
Government administration in rail-
road operation has been backward.
Service has become an obsolete word
in railroad circles and fares have
gone out of sight. The public is
regarded merely as a sort of neces-
sary evil that would be ignored al
together were it not for the cash in
volved. Tyrones relief will come
when the roads are returned to their
owners, not before.

And then came the day for the
great trial:
Twas the Fourth of July,
And the weather was dry,
Ard not a cloud was in all the sky.
Save a few light fleeces, which here
and there,
Half mist, half air,
Like foam on the ocean went float
ing by.
Just as lovely a morning as ever
was seen
For a nice little trip in a flying
machine.

while they started out for the SHOW

He crept from his bed
And, seeing the others were gone,
he said,

And away he sped.
To open the wonderful box in the
shed.
But the canny brothers were not
to be shaken. They had gone but
a little way orr the road to town,
when they turned back, and, Creep

VTTHO doesn't remember the
wv thrilling adventures of "Da-
rius Green and His Flying
Machine?" 1t was just forty nine
years ago that John Townsend Trow-
bridge made the nation laugh with
his humorous account of the antics
of Darius Green. For
Darius was clearly of the opinion
That the air is also mars domin-
ion,
And that, with paddle or fin or
pinion
We soon or late shall navigate
The azure as now we sail the sea.
Sufficiently fantastic, that wild
dream, back there in 1870, to bring
a smile to anyones lips. But it's
author lived to gasp in amazement
as he watched Grahame-White soar
about a little field rear Boston, borne
up by wings not so very different
from those on which Darius eSsayed
his ill-fated venture. That was in
1910. Then came the war, and the
poet read of the wings of Darius
carrying their young pilots over the
enemy lines. He died just three
years too soon to cheer, with the
rest of the nation, the success of the
little group of his fellow country
men who flew across the Atlantic
men who reasoned as did Darius:
The birds can fly, an why can't 1?
Must we give in," says he with a
grin,
That the bluebird an phoebe
Are smarter n we be?
Jest fold our hands an see the
swaller
An blackbird ar catbird beat us all
holler?
Does the little chatterin', sassy wren,
No bigger'n my thumb know more
than men?
Jest show me that!
Ur prove t the bat
Hez more brains than's in my hat.
An I'll back down, an not till then!"
A Boyhood Ambition
On that day back in 1910, as he
watched the pioneer birdman grace
fully sail about over his head, Mr..
Trowbridge confessed that in his
poem he had embodied an ambition
of his own boyhood, and a desire that
was close to the hearts of many of
his little Yankee friends. Some of
them, like Darius, had stolen away
from their brothers and sisters and
playmates,
And in the loft above the shed
Himself he locks with thimble and
thread
Ard wax and hammer and buckles
and screws,
And all such things as geniuses use
Two bats for patterns, curious fell
lows!
A charcoal pot and a pair of bel
lows,
Some wire and several old umbrel-
las!
A piece of harness, and straps and
strings;
And a big, strong box,
In which he locks
These and a hundred other things.
Darius had a hard time esca ping
the prying eyes of his brothers,
Reuben and Burke, and Nathan
and lothian and Solomon" but, by
filing most of the cracks of his
workroom with rags and applying
water from a dipper with deadly
aim whenever an eye appeared at
one of the innumerable knot holes
ir the wall, he maintained his secret,
and
Day after day
He stitched and tinkered and ham,
mered away,
Till at last twas done
The greatest invention under the
