Practical VielD of League
rFrom the Kansas City Times.

tLC tAoAoeN' OAhS
Practically was one of Theodore
Roosevelt's dominant traits. He
never would commit himself to the
impossible. What he did commit
himself to he felt bound to carry
out. Thus, when the United States
had to intervene in Cuba under his
administration, European newspa-
pers assumed it would never get out.
Roosevelt said the word had been
given and of course this government
would withdraw when order had
been restored. When he told the
German ambassador that Dewey
was prepared to resist with force
the seizure of Venezuelan soil by the
kaiser's fleet, Berlin receded be-
cause the kaiser knew Roosevelt
would make good.
1t is this practical quality that
makes especially noteworthy his
final contribution to The Star on the
League of Nations. A league limited
as he would have it limited. not un-
dertaking too much, with we'll de-
fined spheres of influence, might be
productive, as he pointed out, of
real and lasting international
good"
To undertake moro than we could
possibly expect to fulfill would be to
invite failure and disaster.

Many Newspaper Mergers
(From the Fourth Estate)

(From the Fourth Estate)
The year 1918 was marked in the
newspaper world by the death or
consolidation of 1854 papers, while
but ne new enterprises were start
ed, according to the American
Newspaper Annual and Directory
for 1919, published by N. w. Aver
& Son, advance sheets of which are
recently off the press.
The directory shows that more
than q third of the German Ian
guage publications have dropped
out.
The marked trend toward consoli-
dation, which had been current for
several years past, was fastened by
wartime conditions. Publishers in
many cities are finding it more prof.
table to merge their equipment, ne
duce operating expenses, and pub
lish one strong paper than to con-
tinue competition in territory which
will not support more than one good
publication.
Several of the larger cities have
seen great changes in the news
paper field, metropolitan dailies of
nigh standing and lndlVldual reputa-
ton being consolidated or changing
ownership.
The summary shows total of g.
$50 dailies in present existence. as
against 2,604 q year ago, or a de-
crease of AZ dailies. 1t is in the
weeklies. however, that the greatest
changes came. At the present time
1875 are published. Last years
report showed 16,599 in existence,
the decrease being S64. All other
publications, from tri-weeklies to
quarterlies, showed decreases, vary
ing from one, in the case of quarter
lies, to 180 monthlies.
The aggregate circulation of
evening papers in the United States
and Canada is 21,600,000; morning
papers, 12,763,00; Sunday papers,
17,233,000.

CONSERVATION

IT is to be hoped that the sports
men of Central Pennsylvania
- counties, which are so naturally
adapted for good hunting, will CO.
operate with the State Game Com
missions officers in the plan to con-
serve wild life this winter and to
help replenish the game in the wood
lands and in the fields. The State
authorities have invited the sports.
men and wild life lovers to locate
the quail and other game birds and
either trap them or place food sc
that the fowls will not perish. Last
winters terrible cold and prolonged
snow almost wiped out the quail and
rabbits in some districts of the lower
Susquehanna valley and it is the ain
of the State authorities to utilize
some of the money paid in hunters
licenses to preserve the birds.
Not only sportsmen but farmer.
have been called upon to help II
this conservation because "Bol

Schpab Praises Newspapers

An ELOQUENT tribute to the power
and usefulness Of the press was Civ

Pointer For PENNSYLVANIA

(From the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin)
Governor Edge, of New Jersey, in
his message for the Legislature, de-
clares that the greatest public work
in that state is the state highway
system, and he calls for the most
vigorous kind of action in develop
ing it in a thorough, first-class
fashion. .r,
The Governor further expresses
the opinion that this highly impor-
tant task will provide employment
for thousands of men who are now
returning from military service; and
it is altogether. likely that the exper-
fence of many of them during the
past year or more will particularly
fit them for the work of road con-
struction.
1t is to be expected that the in
coming Governor of Pennsylvania
will be not less practical and en-
phatic in the statement of his high
way policy, inasmuch as he has long
been the foremost leader, in this
state, of the principle of introducing
all over 1t the best modern highways
attainable.
What Governor Edge recommends
as to New Jerseys returning SOL
diers will apply in n much greater
degree to Pennsylvania's; and from
out of the rank and file of our mill
tary forces Governor Sproul and
Highway Commissioner SaddIer will
probably form an unusually intelli-
gent and energetic organization of
road d-builders.

sey now has. or will have, but she

NE distinct result of local well
fare activities during the war
~ has been recognition OF the
service that is rendered rather than
the mere contribution of money.
Under former conditions there was
q proneness to regard money dona-
tions as discharge of personal obli-
CATION, but the activity of many men
and women in rendering personal
service throughout the war has
given all these a different viewpoint
and worthy welfare organizations
are certain to be the beneficiaries
of this new attitude.
Selhshness has been largely up
rooted through the personal touch
of the individual. 1t was compare
lively easy to write a check or
make a contribution without both
ering about personal service, but
the cooperation that resulted in
every direction during the progress
of hostilities changed the old order
to such an extent that men and
women are now disposed to give OF
themselves as we'll as contribute OF
their means.
When there is personal interest in
welfare work there is bound to be
wider sympathy and more substan-
tfal results than under conditions
which place such welfare activities
upon a purely financial basis. Har-
risburg has been most active in
many directions for many months
and it is the hope of all who have
an interest in the city's proper de-
velopment that the sincere and ear
nest cooperation of the war will
not cease with the declaration OF
peace.
