Suppose Farmers Strike
[From Successful Farming. ]

The farmers keep their heads
when all others fly off the track.
We ask city workers to ponder a mo-
ment what might happen il the
farmers should do what the workers
are doing-demanding shorter hours
and higher pay. The farmers are
their own bosses so they would not
have to quarrel with anybody. They
could hold out on strike until they
got good and ready, for they can
feed themselves.
You working city fellows, suppose
for n moment that the farmers
adopted the eight-hour day. 1t
would cut down production at least
half. Suppose they also set a price
on their labor and their products
based on an eight-hour basic scale.
Where would you get your food
Only the rich could buy it at all, for
the price would be prohibitive to
men on strike. If the cost of living
is too high now, how will lessened
production affect it? How will in
creased cost of production bring
prices down? You live now because
the farmers have gone on produc-
ing, working nearer sixteen hours a
day than eight hours. You can buy
food because the farmers have not
gone OH SITlke, nave not ceased 10
produce, have not cornered the mar
ket and said I'VE demand so much
for our products or we won't work"
II you city workers expect the
farmers to go on feeding you at the
old price you have to get back to
work at the old wage and make it
possible for the farmer to buy
cheaper so he can produce cheaper.
This is not a one-sided game. 1t
takes two to play it and If you city
fellows quit, don't get sore if you
go hungry soon. Either the farmers
must do as you are doing, shorten
the hours and demand higher pay,
or else you must lengthen the hours
and produce more without more pay.
The farmers have been patient
with you. When they lose their pa
tience, look out. You have already
taken their help. If they quit, too,
who is going to feed you. What city
workers have in common with farm
ers Is not so much political as eco
nomic. What are you going to do
about it?

Quite Right

tFrom the Altoona Tribune.l
Governor Sproul is entirely right
when he suggests that it is bad
policy for any company of citizens
to take the law into their own
hands for the purpose of depriving
their community of the presence of
obnoxious agitators. 1t is just as
wrong for one company of citizens to
violate law as it is for another. Law
lessness is never justifiable. 1t is as
much out of place when practiced
by the agents of a corporation as
when indulged in by strikers. Every
good citizen respects the authority of
law. Those who undertake to set
law aside for the purpose of getting
at strike promoters do as wrongly
as the ignorant alien who INDUCES
in violence as a side issue to a strike
in which he has engaged. We be-
lieve in the utmost freedom of ac-
ton except under extraordinary cir
cumstance. We oppose raids upon
companies of peaceable men and
we believe 1t Is a mistake to pro-
hibit orderly meetings. Nor is it less
a violation of the constitutional pro-
vision granting to citizens the right
to peaceably assemble for the dis
cussion of public questions.

HELP THEM OWN HOMES

~ NE of the most important items
in the findings of the Senate
committee which Investigated
the steel strike is this recommends
ton relative to proper housing:
Aid through the Federal Gov
ment and the industries to make
industrial workers home-owners.
More than merely good housing
provisions hang on that issue. Make
q man a home-owner and you make
of him responsible citizen. He
then has a share in the wealth of
the community. He has learned
something of the rights of property.
IIe can better understand what capt.
tai means when it says it cannot

fident of his own rights.
The home-owner Is a solid, self

Tip to InDeStorS

The value of dollar
Has shrunk an awful lot.
A lot of people holler
That little can be got
For any hundred pennies
In these expensive days;
And certainly not many's.
The bargain true that stays
But there's one!!
In buying coke or collars
Or furniture or food
One finds that single dollars
Do very little good.
Each neighbor gayly whittles
Your dollar down some pence,
Until for clothes or victuals
1t looks like forty cents
Excepting one.
There's one place where your dollar
Will buy as much to-day
AS overcome, let's waller
In bargains while we may!
There's one place where each one
spot
Is worth ten times its face,
And if you're worth a gunshot
You'll hurry to that place
The Red Cross!

Motor Bus Lines
LFrom the Washington star.l

LFrom the Washington Star.l
Experiments are to be tried with
motor buses operating on three
routes from points in the northeast
ern section of the city to central
traffic points. Permits for the run
ming of these lines of motor vehicles
have been granted by the utilities
commission, under prior ruling hx-
ing a maximum fare of 10 cents. The
specific fares charged on these lines
may be less than that sum. 1t re-
mains now to be seen whether at a
fare approximately the same as that
charged by the street cars, these lines
can be conducted profitably.
When the city was heavily con-
gested, with daily car riders in eH-
cess of the capacity of the lines dur
ing the rush hours, such accommo-
dations would have been of the
highest value. The congestion has
now been materially relieved, mainly
by the departure of many of the
wartime workers from the Govern
ment service, and in part by the ad-
dition of further facilities to the
street car service. Thus the demand
for more traffic accommodation is
less now than it was q year ago.
though more cars still are needed
and are being supplied from time to
time. Will the new facilities supply
need in the matter of moving the
people to and from work morning
and evening?
Competition with the existing car
lines will not succeed unless the
service is speedier and more COM
| Portable and at least as cheap. II
the fare is higher the accommoda-
ton afforded must be materially
greater than that given by the cal
lines. Prejudice against the street
railway companies will not hold
great numbers of patrons continu-
ously in line to their financial dis
advantage.

Fashion Note

[From the Philadelphia Record.1
American women may soon be
wearing knickerbockers. Miss A.
Sheer thinks so, and she wears 'efn.
She has just arrived from Rotter-
dam, Holland. and the neither gar
ments she wore when she landed
were not unlike those once effected
by the good burghers of New AMI
sterdam. There is really no rea-
sonable argument against pantaloons
for women" she says. But, of
course, reason has nothing whatever
to do with feminine fashions or
follies. If the women make up
their minds that the knickerbockcrs s
are cute, they'll become fashionable.
The men folk won't be surprised al
anything of that sort-they are past
either surprise or shock.

GOOD WORK

TNHE Y. M. C. A. and the Y. w.
C. A. organizations in Harris
burg are doing a good work
in planning extensions for the col
ored men and women, and boys and
girls of the city. The colored people
have shown a disposition to help
themselves. They have taken the
initiative and have made the request
for cooperation. They are entitled
to all the assistance the two boards
can give them.
In time, doubtless, these branches
will have buildings of their own,
with study halls, recreation rooms
and gymnasiums. But those who
are to be benefited must show theiy
continued and practical interest If
this is to be brought about, and they
must be content to do what the older
"Y" organizations did in their form
ative periods - begin in a small way
and build up.

NOT FOR US

Householders in the United
Kingdom are barred from enter
tanning their mothersin-law or
other guests longer than four
weeks, by an order from the min
istry of food Nndon Dispatch.
/" HE English evidently have taken
the American mother-in-law
joke seriously. That's the trou-
BILE with our British brethren; the
Americans Jest becomes the En-
glishman's fact and then-as they
say in London-there is the very
deuce to pay. g..,,.,. ,,s.,,.
Now everybody knows that the
real, genuine, simon-pure American
mother-in-law is the staunchest
friend the American married man
has in all the great wide world. She
will do anything for him, from darn
ing his socks in q way that puts the
best efforts of his loving wife to
shame, to defending him single
handed against the world. She will
dishes, and keep the babies while
he and his helpmeet HE themselves
off to the movies. She will take his
side of a family jar at the drop of
the hat any day and let her daugh-
ter know in crisp and biting sem
tences that she never deserved so
good a husband, and serve her right
If he up and left her, or words to
that general effect.
If we lived in England we'd just
naturally have to break the law, for
the kind of mother-in-law we have
over here is blessing to any house
and four weeks is all too short q
visiting period for such as she. Life
is just like one long vacation when
the American mother-in-law comes
along to add the bright effulgence
of her charming presence to our
homes. We have our own unvoiced
opinion of the fellow who is fool
ish enough to quarrel with his wifes
mother.

About DAILY

[From Cartoons Magazine1
Thomas Augustine DAILY, the poet,
who has done so much to make
known the dreams of the Italian
immigrant to America, resides in
Philadelphia, where he is spoken of
as the best looking Italian the Irish
race has produced.
Recently he was co-host to the
American Press Humorists. One of
the New York humorists, who writes
news as well as funny stuff for a
living, scented a story the minute he
landed in town-prison scandal.
Some politicians were trying to
make goat of Warden Robert
McKenty at Eastern penitentiary.
The visiting newspaperman spoke
to Tom DAILY about the matter.
You go out and see Bob
McKenty," said DAILY. He's a good
Indian. Tell him you're a friend OF
mine and he'll give you anything
he's got"
So the New Yorker went out to
the penitentiary. He interrupted q
conference in which the warden
was taking part. McKenty came out
into the corridor.
I'm friend of Tom DAYS.
began the newspaperman.
"Well. you can't see him now.'
said the warden. He's out in the

vrY AsHINGTON, Nov. 12.-As the
wv result of the four guberna-
torial elections held in Massa-

torial elections held in Massa-
chusetts, Kentucky, Maryland and
New Jersey the Republicans of the
House and Senate are viewing with
equanimity but not overconfidence
the campaign of 1920.
BY an increase of his majority
from 1900 to $4,000 Governor
Calvin Coolidge was reelected in
Massachusetts,. This was a direct
slap at President Wilson in more
ways than one. He had taken an
opposite stand from that of Governor
Coolidge. The Washington police
had sought to become affiliated with
the American Federation Of Labor.
Commissioner Brownlow had threat
ened to dismiss them. The Presi-
dent, then on his tour of the West,
wired Brownlow that he should de-
sist until after the meeting of the
Industrial Conference. The confer
ence came and blew up. In the
meantime Coolidge fired all the
striking policemen. The people
backed him up. Then the President
wired Coolidge that the upholding
of law and order has no partisan
ship. This courage of the Governor
of Massachusetts was the chief is
sue of the campaign, and the Re-
publican party won by the largest
majority in it's history. Another ele-
ment in the election. though a minor
one, was the attitude of Senator
Lodge on the League of Nations,
and he, too, was sustained.
In Kentucky there was a great
overturn. Ed. Morrow, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, was
swept in by 10000 majority. He
had declared that the league as
drawn up at Versailles did not suit
him without reservations Black, his
Democratic opponent, confessed TO
having swallowed the document en-
tire. The result was never in doubt,
and it means that Kentucky will
be in the Republican column next
year.
In New Jersey the result was due

REPUBLICANS ELATED
BY ELECTION RETURNS
Attitude of Governor Coolidge Striking
Contrast Wilson

somewhat to the shifting of Presi-
dent Wilson on the liquor question
Edwards, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, had during the cam
paign announced that if elected he
would make the state as wet" as
the Atlantic; that he would do all in
his power to nullify the National
prohibition act. He did not merely
announce this from the stump; he
said it over his own signature in
formal declaration. In the midst
of the campaign the President vetoed
the war prohibition section of the
enforcement bill. Congress promptly
upheld the law and passed it over
his veto. The damage was done,
however, as many of the voters of
New Jersey were led to believe that
it would be possible by the COM
bined efforts of the Democratic Gov
ernor and the Democratic President
to nullify the new law. They did
not know the promise was entirely
for election purposes and as fruit
less as "he kept us out of war"
Hence the Republican majority, built
upon National issues, was wiped out
and a $4,000 Democratic majority
put in it's place. Because this was
done to a local and specious issue,
the Republicans here attach no i'm
portance to it in relation to next
year.
Maryland went Democratic by q
few hundred on issues which were
not National. So close a result and
so great a reduction from recent
Democratic majorities give the Re-
publican leaders the practical GER
tainty of carrying the state in the
National election of next year.
Incidentally, Murphy's Tammany
judges were overthrown in New
York, solely by the assistance of the
Republican party. Major LaGuardia,
the Republican member of the
House who volunteered in the war
and became an aviator on the Aus
trian front, was chosen president of
the Board of Aldermen. In New
York and other states the Repub-
licans gained in the State Legisla-
lures.

Pie and BOISheDiSnl
[From the New York Sun. ]

FROM inc new OTh ouHs
There are some magnates who
will bet that. If the real truth were
known, pie is at the bottom of most
of the present industrial unrest and
also has been prolific source of
increase in general taxation.
For instance, 1t has been definitely
determined that the higher in price
pie goes the higher go taxes, rents,
gas bills, clothing, insurance and
taxation. The world has been edu-
Gated to believe that the price of
bread was the unfailing barometer
of a country's industrial status, but
that theory has been shattered, say
those who dispense confections of
pumpkin, peach, custard and the
salubrious meringue.
A pie that sold January /, 1916,
for ten cents in the bakery now
brings $1.20 at most of the cafes and
buffets in the downtown and uptown
districts. Four years ago one was
served with a quarter of a pie for a
nickel in the cheaper class of res
taurants; the price now is dime;
and, in many cases, pending on the
genius, one-twelfth of n pie brings
fifteen cents.
"Ninety-nin out of every hundred
laboring men and women in the
nation are inveterate pie consumers
said one restaurant owner. They
can get along without beef or ham
sandwich and will overlook the alb
sence of cakes and puddings and
even coffee in their dinner baskets,
but they expect pie to be always on
hand.
"a half n pie in lunch basket
represents a substantial investm ent
nowadays, and the pie is ether cut
| out or cut down. This, of course.
spells discomfort. Cake, doughnuts,
cream puffs, cinnamon rolls, sand
wiches or eggs could never stir up
i. half the trouble pie has stirred up
| these last three years."
