The Bicycle Comes Back

[From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
Who has not noticed the constantly
increasing number of bicycles on the
streets and highways. The come
back" is attributed to various causes,
but all who have been speculating on
the subject agree the increased cost
of riding on street cars is one reason.
The wheel" which went into re-
tirement almost to the extent of
total eclipse with the arrival of the
motor car is now out in the open, and
it's devotees predict that its stay will
be long.
Anyone who may hold doubts oil
this score has only to take a look in
the shops where such goods are dis
played, and then make few in
quiries. He will learn among other
things that one ST. Louis department
store sold 115 machines in a single
day. He will also learn that when
it comes to getting one of the best
grades, calculated to withstand the
wear and tear of long tours over in
different roads, he may have to wait
a few days before his order is fill.
ed, as the demand from Boston to
Los Angeles and from Duluth to Key
West is making new records from
day to day, with not the slightest
suggestion that the peak is anywhere
in sight.
And there are the old machines
that reposed for years in garrets
and cellars that are now coming out,
rejuvenated and put in good work
ing order at the repair shops. These
shops report an unprecedented rush
in orders for new sprockets, chains,
tires and other essential parts, which
plainly tells that the wheels of other
years are to resume their revolutions
and carrying functions.
Wholesalers report that the trade
| is looking up so fast that manufac-
turers will have to speed up their
outputs to satisfy the boom-like de-
mand. AS there are many establish
ments in the producing end of the
business, there is no serious appre-
hension felt that there will be a
shortage of any duration.

The Susquehanrla Trail

Blossburg, Mansfield, Lawrenceville,
Pa, Corning, Buffalo, Niagara Falls
and points north.
Our Association has worked on
the trail in Pennsylvania only, be-
cause it is working in conjunction
with the Highway Department of
Pennsylvania and has no jurisdic-
ton outside of the State.
When established, this will be a
road of as great Importance to the
State as the Lincoln Highway and
of greater Importance to the city of
Harrisburg than any other route
passing through it.
The Highway Department of
Pennsylvania has this line on its
official map for improvement in the
immediate future. In fact a con-
siderable portion of it is under con-
ST. uction now, with a schedule to
complete the entire route in 1922.
The members of the Association
from the upper tier of counties de-
serve especial commendation for or
ganizing the Association and plan
ming this route.
Ex-senator Merrick, of Wellsboro
has suggested a cement road bed
forty feet wide with an earth drive
way on each side for horse and car
riage traffic. DIR. G. w. Hartman
of Harrisburg, one of the leading
spirits of the Association and a di-
rector of it, suggested to the Asso-
cation at it's annual meeting in Will
Transport last spring that since the
State Highway Department has pro-
vided, in it's wonderfully fine and
comprehensive plan, for the con-
struction of this route, the Associa,
ton turn it's attention to the con-
struction of a free bridge at State
Street, Harrisburg.
The construction of such bridge
would be in keeping with the grea'
improvements planned for the sec
ton of the city adjacent to our mag
nificent Capitol. 1t will be in line
also with Mr.. Manning's suggestion
To make plans for the placing Of
the bridge or at least creating senti'
/ ment for it is the logical work fol
| this Association as well as for Har'
| risburg and the State authorities.

Don Marquis Crouch

Don Marquis, who writes the usu-
ally CHEEKY sun Dial' column for
the New York Sun, must have got
out on the wrong side of the bed
the other morning. That he went
to work with a crouch and nursed
it may be inferred from the INSTALL
ment of paragraphs which appeared
the next day. His outlook on life
shows in this one:
I'VE get so tired of being cheer
full at times, that we swear if we
took a vacation we'd go somewhere
and cry and cry for three or four
weeks, and not work at anything
else. But we never intend to take
another vacation; there is nothing
in vacations"
And here is an epigrammatic bit of
philosophy permeated with pessi-
niism:
THE three RS run all through life
at twenty-five you think of Ro-
nance, at forty-five of the Rent, and
at sixty-five of your rheumatism"
When he dropped into verse it
was to lament:
Gloom and the world glooms with
you;
Smile and you smile alone,
For the sad old earth will leave it's
mirth
To hold it's head and moan"
A glance at the marriage license
column probably suggested this
comment:
The world is full of almshouses
populated by the offspring of per-
sons who went lightheartedly ahead
and married on account of ro-
nance"
But Mr.. Marquis was determined
to apply his point of view to wide
range of subjects, as for instance:
The man who refuses to worry is
shirk. There is a certain amount
7 of worrying that must be done in
this world. and you are dishonorable
unless you cheerfully do your share
of it."
And again:
"Sparrows don't chirp because
they are happy. These are cries of
| hunger and despair"
That he knew the fit was on him
is revealed in this admonition:
III you feel little grouchy 1t is
always mistake to suppress the
feeling. Express it, and pass your
crouch on to somebody else, and he
done with it,"
Then. to show that he practiced
what he preached, the one-timo op-
| timist wound up with this finishing
| touch:
"Only a few weeks until the
fourth installment on your income
tax will be due, and it will probably
be showing on that day."

THE KING COMES

ARRISBURG has had many
n distinguished visitors, but it
has received none more en-
Enthusiastically than it will the King
and Queen of Belgium when they
honor the city with their presence.
The war robbed most crowned heads
of their glory, and many more Of
their thrones, but it only added lus-
ter to the fame of King Albert and
his royal consort. We, in America.
hold no briefs for monarchial forms
of government, but by the same
token we recognize a man whatever
his garb or station, and no more
manly man has ever stepped upon
our shores than this same King of
Belgium.
Faced with the alternative of saw
ing his own people at the expense
of his honor, he led them boldly to
the sacrifice and then fell back after
he had stayed the onrush of the
German war machine, until he linked
forces with the English and the
French and held his part of the limo
in France during the awful years
until American armies, sweeping in
by hundreds of thousands, started
the Huns on their last great retreat.
Never once during all that time
did he falter. With his country laid
waste, his people dead or in slavery
and risking his own life daily in
the fighting front. he kept his cour-
age always to the fighting point, and
now that the tide has turned and
right has won, he has come to pay
friendly visit to those who helped
the Belgian people in the days of
their extremity.
Americans are hero lovers. Their
own history is so full of heroic sac
rifice and of victory over great odds
that they can very well appreciate
the greatness of the Belgian ruler.
We are happy that he has chosen to
spend a few hours with us We
shall try to make him feel that he
is welcome.

DID YOU KNOW THAT:
by MAJOR FRANK @. HIAHIN
OF the Army Recruiting Station

According to the figures tabulated
by the Surgeon General of the A. E.
F., there were 74,573 men gassed in
France;
OF those gassed, there were 1,194
who died;
These figures do not include men
who were killed in battle, who may
have been gassed before they were
killed;
OF the total gassed, 2,533 were
officers; 72,040 were enlisted men;
OF those who died, 26 were Of
fcers; 1,16S were enlisted men;
In 36,O13 cases, the kind or kinds
of gas used was not recorded; of the
remaining casualties, most were
caused by mustard gas; next came
phosgene; then in order, chlorine,
yperite, arsene and asphyXiating.
The total gas casualties were 1873
per cent of total casualties from all
cauSeS.

Better State Roads
[From the Philadelphia Record.1

[From the Philadelphia Record.l
From the reports of the newspaper
representatives who, as the guests. OF
the State Highway Department, made
a tour through portions of Eastern
Pennsylvania last week, the Com
monWealth seems to be pulling ltse!t
out of the mud in a way which Is
as gratifying as it is commendable.
The job is a herculean one, and the
$50, 100000 bond issue approved by
the voters last year will be exhausted
long before the end is anywhere near
in sight; but there is no occasion TO
worry over that. If the work of road
building is we'll and intelligentiy
done, with all politics eliminated
from it, the voters will, beyond doubt,
approve another bond issue. If they
have ocular proof that under the
Sproul administration every dollar
expended is producing results they
will certainly give their approval tc
a continuation of the construction CT
good roads.
Tt is worth noting that Highway
Commissioner Sadler is strongly in
favor of concrete as the best ma
terial for important highways. This
is beyond doubt the wisest policy to
follow, even though it is expensive.
The experience of all the states has
shown that macadam cannot stand
up under the tremendous pounding
of the modern motor truck, and that
it is necessary to have strong and
rigid foundation to sustain the cnor-
nous loads now carried in both local
and interstate commerce. The State
wants the best there is, and it seems
to be getting it..
When it is remembered that New
York spent $3.50. 100000 in road
building, the Pennsylvania program
seems modest, even though the $5C,-
000, 900 bond issue shall be repeated
before long. The essential thing is
that changed economic conditions
now demand fine highways in every
part of the State, and that no time
must be lost in providing them II
this Commonwealth is to stand or
an equality with it's neighbors
Thanks to Governor Sproul and Com
missioner Sadler. the prospect is thai
the long-existing blight of bad roads
will soon be wiped out.

who died in the war with Germany.
And the place to plant it is in

One of the demands of organized

ference is that Congress permit no

men by cheap labor. If labor was
wise it would couple with that de-
mand one for proper tariff pro
lection. 1t is equally important that
the tariff bar out the products of
foreigners themselves which should
not come to this country. If labor
really wishes it's own interests cared
for it should protest against the
loading of cheap products upon this
market which causes the closing of
factories and the reduction of en-
ployment. One of the first things
that 1t should urge, If it has proper
consideration for its own future, is
the adoption of a genuine protective
tariff law.
When the Democratic party came
into power, in 1913, it inaugurated
its near-free-trade policy. Is it
possible that labor has forgotten the
consequence of that action? Is there
no memory of the added imports
that poured into the United States at
the rate of a million dollars a day
in value more than came under the
preceding tariff law? Is there no
recollection Of how industry de-
creased, how labor was denied EN-
ployment, and how hard times were
only averted by the war in Europe
and the demands that the conflict
made for products of the United
States? Does labor not realize that
this demand from overseas will
rapidly decrease and that the stagna-
tion will come to the industries of
this, country If imports made bv the
cheap labor of Europe and the Orient
begin to flood America again as they
We're doing before the war under the
tariff law which the Democrats put

~ ECENTLY Warren H. Manning,
X the planning expert, referred
to the Susquehanna Valley as


AS to the Susquehanna Valley as
great natural highway of the fu-
ture. But perhaps he did not know
that the Indians so used it for un-
known centuries before the white
man came. And State Highway
Commissioner Sadler has recognized
it in outlining his great State high
way system now in the process of
construction.
The Susquehanna Trail Associa-
ton was formed several years ago
for the purpose of fostering good
roads in Pennsylvania and partlcu-
larly securing a main highway
straight across the State from north
to South over the way Mr.. Manning
mentioned. This Indian trail was
selected as the route of this main
highway because of its geographical
importance, because of the beauty
of it's scenery because it is a route
of great national importance as q
military road and because the Ma
tional Capitol is to be linked up with
Central Pennsylvania cities, Western
New York cities, the great lake re-
gions and Canadian points, by sys-
tenn of good roads.
AS Mr.. Manning pointed out, the
natural conditions for easy roading
are the valley routes and the ridge
routes. This route corresponds with
his idea.
We consider the South Mountains
the first chain of natural defense to
an enemy that would invade from
the Atlantic coast. The Appalachian
system Is the second chain. This
road will touch tide water at Bal
timore, the most strategic point for
an enemy to attack, as proven by
the fact that the submarine Deutch-
land landed at Baltimore. She is
known to have made soundings of
the Chesapeake Bay.
The route as selected If we begin
at the National Capitol, is Washing
ton to Baltimore, York, Newberry-
town, Harrisburg, Clarks Ferry,
Liverpool, Selinsgrove, Sunbury,
Williamsport, Trout Run, Liberty,

BOrah and Peace

[Senator Borah in New York Timesl
If it said, what about peace? The
answer is that peace is here now.
Great Britain has been carrying
on trade to her highest point with
Germany ever since ten days after
the armistice. France has been
trading with Germany. The United
States has been and is trading with
Germany. Peace in all it's practical
features and appearance is an es-
tablished fact and has been for
weeks and weeks. The Treaty ratl-
fled by Great Britain, France and
Italy tiXes the status of Germany.
Those countries interested in receiv-
ing the reparation will proceed to
collect and enjoy it. Those inter-
ested in the work of the commits
sions will perform the service of the
commissions. The United State, be-
ing in no wise interested in those
things would be and should be re-
lieved of all obligations touching
them. Any legislation necessary to
remove supposed obstacles to trade
or war legislation could be had with
in a fortnight. The result would be
that the United States would SETTLE
down and deal with domestic prob
lens. People would become at once
contented in mind and happy in their
old accustomed beliefs and tradi-
tions, and we would enjoy, in my
Judgment, q period of prosperity

SPEAKING OF POLITICS

= OCAL Democratic newspapers
raving over dismissals of at
taches from the State service,
attributing them solely to politics,
and complaining bitterly against the
officials in public service contribut-
ing to Republican campaign funds,
remind one of the proverbial little
pot that got all "het up" calling
the kettle black.
So long as the game of politics
is politics, so long will politics play
part in public life. SO long as
men desire to see a political organ
ization successful, so long will they
give to campaign funds.
But why limit the criticism, If
there is to be criticism? Why not
Include the Democratic party as
well?
No administration in the history
of the country has played politics
with such a high hand as has that
now in power, and its supporters
and machine workers throughout
the nation have needed no urging
to follow the example Not even at
so important a conference as that at
Paris did President Wilson recog-
nize anybody but Democrats, ex-
Cept when he took notice of u few
Socialists and radicals Not a rep
resentative Republican was asked to
attend the meeting. Everything has
been done that is possible to do to
keep the Democratic party in power,
regardless of the merits of men of
other political faiths, and even post
masters have been forced to con-
tribute to Democratic campaign
funds.
The Telegraph has information,
withheld during the war, that it may
find advisable to publish one of
these days. 1t relates to the side
tracking of Harrisburg men chosen
by the government for special war
work because they did not happen
to have the approval of local Demo-
cratic bosses, and of interference in
army matters that reflects anything
but credit upon those responsible.
If the local Democratic newspa-
pers want full information concern
ing dismissals and removals for DO
litical reasons, of enforced political
contributions and even worse, the
Telegraph can oblige them.

trust the leadership. Pennsylvania
working people have shown that
they will go as far as anybody in
support of leaders such as John
Mitchell, for example. but when it
comes down to choice between
radicals and allegiance to the prin-
ciples of their country, they are
under the flag every time. But they
must be everlastingly watchful so
long as there are men in the coun-
try of the type of this I. w. w. at
