OST railroad men know person.
M ally or by reputation William
AVA G. Lee, the head of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and his courageous declaration in
Washington as to the prevailing
cause of the high cost of living has
caused something of a sensation
He urges that the Government had
better be doing something to sup
press the profiteering in foodstuffs
instead of considering at public
hearings further increases.
"All of us are to blame" said he,
because we are exerting every eff
fort to get more money for our
selves and better conditions, while
the profiteers are taking double
from the working man what is given
him."
IT will admit to you," he further
declared, that we are going the
wrong way and that it is time to
call halt. Until we get together
to stop this there will be hell in
this country"
Mr.. Lee referred to the rather
satisfactory conditions prior to the
war and said that there was some
peace until the commodities that
working people are compelled to
pay for were permitted to be in
creased, doubled and trebled, with
out any question and often seem
ingly with the approval of the Gov
ernment"
He accused the lawmakers of
playing politics, instead of finding a
way to bring about normal condi-
tions, and indicated that the labor
organizations were also playing
politics. 1T is the same down the
line" was his conclusion.
1t is such statements as Lees that
have aroused the Washington ad-
ministration to its responsibility and
its obligations to the people. With
millions of dollars worth of foodstuffs
stored in the military warehouses of
the Government, it is little wonder
that the labor leaders and others
are calling the Washington authori-
ties to account.

The Unguarded Gates
[From the Newark Sun. ]

When we read the interesting
pages of the Atlantic Monthly, that
venerable and remarkable maya
zine of New England which once
embodied so much of what was pure
Americanism: and when we note its
present aspect, colored sometimes
family, sometimes strongly, by the
newer philosophites of socialism and
internationalism, always restrained,
however, by polite culture and the
discernment of fine literary taste,
we recall these verses, written many
years ago by former editor of the
Atlantic:
wide open and ungarded stand
our gates,
And through them presses a wild,
motley throng-
Men from the Volga and the Tartar
steppes,
Featureless figures of the Hoang-Ho
Malayan, Scythian, Teuton, Kelt and
Slav,
Flying the Old Worlds poverty and
scorn;
These bringing with them unknown
gods and rites
Thoes, tiger passions, here to stretch
their claws.
In street and alley what strange
tongues are loud,
Accents of menace alien to our air.
Voices that once the Tower of Babel
knew!
20 Liberty, white Goddess, is it we'll
To leave the gates unguarded? On
thy breast
Fold Sorrows children, soothe the
hurts of fate,
Lift the downtrodden, but with
hand of steel
Stay those who to thy sacred por-
tails come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have
care
Lest from thy brow the clustered
stars be torn
And trampled in the dust. For Sc
of old
The thronging Goth and vandal
trampled Rome,
And where the temples of the Cae-
sars stood
The lean wolf unmolested made her
lair"
The melting pot is the greatest
institution on the face. of the globe
But it makes a vast difference what
goes into the pot.
Wide open and unguarded stand
our gates. as Thomas Bailey Aid
rich sang with patriotic fervor and
true prescience. But what prophetic
vision could have .forseen a time
when the White Goddess. should be
summoned by a President of the
United States, in the name of the
heart of the world, not merely to
do her duty within her portals to
the wild, motley throng pressing in
but actually to go forth through the
wide open, unguarded gates and
seek out the motley throng in its
! own foreign homes and assume re-
sponsibility for those strange gods
and rites and tiger passions in terri
tory alien to our air?
Have a care
Lest from thy brow the clustered
stars he torn
| And trampled in the dust" '.r-

Harrisburg canteen workers who
have seen manacled American prison
ers go through this city on crowded
railroad cars enroute to Leavenworth
and other Government prisons are
disposed to believe the stories of bru-
tality which are now coming out
through Investigations. These boys,
in may cases, had simply violated
military discipline in being absent
without leave and the punishment in
ficted has been out of all proportion
with the nature OF the offense. 1t
has been quite a common thing to see
a white soldier handcuffed to a color
ed comrade and frequently the prison
ers were without shoes. These men,
who fought for worldwide democ-
racy," cannot be blamed for feeling
that a little of the same idealism
might be utilized in this country.
especially in the treatment of many
who rallied to the colors and fought
in a great cause.

MODERN CHIVALRY

xrY Ho, says the age of chivalry is
w dead, when 100 men and
w women will come forward to
give their lifeblood to save an un-
known hospital patient?
What knight ever did more than
shed his blood for his lady fair?
But the knight rode forth on a
charger amid the plaudits of the
gathered populace, the blare of
trumpets and the pomp of circum-
stances, while the men and women
who volunteered in response to the
Harrisburg Hospitals call for aid
knew they would suffer in obscurity
and gain no fame for themselves.
Theirs was an unselfish offer.
America is safe so long as it breeds
men and women of such heroic
mold.

might be accomplished. Under ap-
pointment by the court. trustees for
the proposed Harrisburg Foundation
would be elected and women would
be eligible to membership on this
committee.
No distinction should be made in
the use of the money on account OF
race. color or creed and all receipts
and disbursements, as at Cleveland,
would be audited annually and the
certified statement showing invest
ments held, amount of income re-
ceived, purposes for which it has
been used and expenses of the com
mittee would be published in news
papers of the city. Several millions
of dollars have already been pledged
under wills and trust agreements for
the use of the Foundation at Cleve-
land and similar community trusts
have been established in a score or
or more of the leading cities of the
country.
The Telegraph is advised from
Cleveland that the Foundation in
that city has met public expecta-
tions and has given a new signifi-
canoe to the ownership of wealth.
Instead of diverting ownership it
perpetuates it and at the same time
guarantees proper custody, proper
management and proper use of in
come. 1t makes it honorable for q
man to build up a fortune in COM
munity, because it provides the
means for the return of that for
tune as a whole or in part for the
permanent service of the community.
At Cleveland bequests and gifts.
large and small, are solicited from
those who are in sympathy with
the idea and who desire the assur-
ance that their bequests for educa-
ton and other purposes will be per-
manently under the control of men
of wide experience and sound judg-
ment.
Harrisburg has many generous cit
liens who doubtless would be glad
to have such Foundation as has
been outlined organized in this city,
to give full force and effect to their
philanthropic impulses, and The
Telegraph will be pleased to print
any comments which may be re-
ceived upon this suggestion,

The Shaded Road
New York Times. ]


If we insist on the practical and
utilitarian side of the propaganda for
the shaded road, it is not because
of any lack of appreciation for trees
To the true forester perfect oak or
pine is more beautiful than the most
splendid iris, the most impassioned
rose; it touches springs of feeling
far tenderer and deeper. No revela-
ton of character is more significant
or more sure than when a man Cor,
as sometimes happens, a woman)
prefers a grove to a garden. But
with regard to trees it is doubly inn
portant to make sure that the re-
suit of our striving shall be beauty.
Mere enthusiasm, however per-
suasive. will not carry one far in an
endeavor the time unit of which is
nj the least, q generation.
But we suggest firmly, however
humbly, that the experiment is one
for expert judgment to begin with
and for expert control through all
it's early stages. Let it be tried by
all means. but with no illusions as
to the care and risk involved. A
bare road is better than an avenue
of diseased and dying trees.
The maple and the oak, even the
pine, seldom impose burden beyond
enemies, and dangerous ones; but in
the knowledge of the local amateur,
or beyond his devotion. They have
comparison to the nut trees they are
virtually immune. The chief danger
is that which strikes into the heart
from decaying limbs. Throughout
the land, many men and some
women have given over tennis, even
the alluring exercise of the golf links,
in order to carry on extension ladder
through the woodland and minister
with pruning saw, chisel, and paint
brush to the noblest of all things that
grow, and the most beautiful

A PERMANENT CAMP

~ EMBERS of the Harrisburg
1N Rotary Club who heard Arch
Dinsmore's plea for a perma-
nent camp site during their visit to
the Y. NJ. C. A. boys camp at Big
Pond understood how he felt about
it. The success of the camp under
the direction of Mr.. Dinsmore and
Mr.. Miller the past two years has
demonstrated the wisdom of provid-
ing the association with a place
where the camps can be held from
year to year; where the equipment
purchased for one year will be on
hand for the next season.
The camp site ought to include
certain permanent buildings and a
lodge where boys and men. under
proper regulations, could spend a
few days or a night at any time
during the year. More and more

Gratitude
[From Harvey's Weekly. !

ltrom Harvey's Weekly.1
Nine hundred and thirteen regular
army officers, including one hun
dred and ninety-seven generals have
been denoted to their pre-war
ranks; and this is only the begin
ming. During the next two months,
every officer in the regular estab-
lishment will automatically return
to the rank he held in April, 1917.
Striking an average, this means
that the major general who COM
manded a division, if not a corps,
in the Argonre, will become a COL
onel; the brigade commander will
become u major; the regimental
commander VIII become a captain +;
and so on down the line to the nom
commissioned ranks, and If Mr..
Baker has his way. they will one
and all become little more than
school teachers or property clerks.
Now, putting aside altogether, for
the moment, the question of justice
and gratitude, and mindful that
army men as a class are the least
mercenary in the world, it is nsr-
ertheless interesting to note that a
colonel receives $4,000 a year; a
lieutenant colonel $500; major
$4,000; and captain S2,400. Con-
sidering the depreciation in the buy
ing power of the dollar, we daresay
that many of these officers will find
1t quite as engrossing If not as in
teresting trying to support their
families in the future as they found
the task of making the world safe
for democracy in the trenches.
The rule is arbitrary. Services
count for nothing in this new order.
The men who made good in France
will get no consideration. If they
were passed over the heads of in
competents abroad. they will now
hnd themselves ranked by the Same
lncompetents when they return to
their peace assignments.
