EDITORIALS
CONSISTENCY

Or this pag there is letter from
a subscriber who saintains that Civ
ing should be an international, as
well as national matter. And to
prove himself consistent he encloses
in the envelope with his letter a dal-
lar which he wished to give to some
worthy cause in the immediate vicin-
ity. This has been done.
We do not take issue with G. w.
He is right. Also we are right when
we urge charity at home" 1t is
simply that many people give to the
lure of the far away" when they
will not give to the crying need at
their door. To stimulate the interest
have urged support for home schools,
libraries, civic developments for the
youth and consistent suppot of the
things upon which the future of the
country depends.
G. W. believes in this too. But he
insists on going further. He gives
sensibly and he wants others to give
the same way. But all people are not
as sensible as G. W. Just as all peo-
pie cannot know the proper use of
alcohol. And so prohibition has been
forced on all people in order that
the vicious might be protected. So it
has been the policy of this paper to
insist on home pride and home char
ity to the present exclusion of outside
and foreign burdens, in order that
all might be brought to realize home
obligations.

HOW THE FARMERS VIEW THE
RAILROAD LABOR
SITUATION.

"Wallace's Farmer" of Des Moines,
Ia, edited by Henry Wallace, in it's is
sue of February II, says:
''The railroad executives are max
ing earnest efforts to reduce their op-
Grating charges. They have been
trying to get rid of the 100000 sur
plus men the government took on
when the government was running the
roads.
''They are trying to readiust the
basis of pay so that it will be more
nearly in correspondence with the
value of the work done.
"They say they have made some
progress, but they have run up
against real obstacle in the great in
crease in wages granted during gev-
eminent operation
1t is said that the average wage
of the railroad workman today is
81 800 a year. 1t was but $500. be-
fore the war. When everything was
high workmen were entitled to higher
wages, but the railroad workmen
must get back to normal along with
other people.
an 1917 the yearly payroll of the
railroads was $1,700,000, 900. At the
present time the payroll is $3,7O0,000-
900. We can not stand this when
prices of farm products have dropped
so severely. i
1.-THE farmers and other shipping
intrests of the nation should be there
before the Railroad Labor Board)
and present their side of the case.
They are really the people who pay
the wages.
'If the railroads must pay higher
wages, they must get the money from
the people who pay the freight
IF these high wages are sustain
ed, we can not hope for much reduc-
ton in freight rates; and freight rates
must be reduced.
Farmers want the railroad work
men to have fair treatment and fair
wages, because they have a right to
them and also because they can then
buy the things the farmer has to sell.
But the farmer can not stand for
making railroad workmen a prefer
red class and paying them wages al
together out of line with the wages
the farmer gets.
"For the prices the farmer gets for
his crops are in effect his wages. The
farmer wants to do the right thing by
everybody, but there is limit to all
things *"

Ancient Crane Sirun.

That the making of grape strip Is
not new thing is shown by the writ
ings of ancient historians. Galen, the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
In the second century after Christ,
says that good many Asiatic wines
were stored in bottles which were
hung in the corner of fireplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, "pro-
toplon," or first juice of the grape be-
fore pressing, and "deuterion," or
pressed juice. The Romans called
them "vinum primarium" and "vinum
secundarium." The juice before fer
mentation had started was calico
"mustum" After this must, or Juice,
had been through heating process,
1t was known as "fruitum," and when,
after long heating, it was reduced to
one-half or one-third It's original vol
ume it was called "sapa." This was
equivalent TO grape sirup and was
used by the RomBps ar their bread.

PRESIDENT HARDING SETS EN-
AMPLE IN ECONOMY.
Thrift Has Perched Above the White
House Door.

Until President and Mrs. Harding
moved into the White House it has
always been the practice of the House
Appropriations Committee to pro-
vide for the purchase of furniture for
the private apartments of the Presi-
dent and his family. But, as an ex-
ample of Government economy, they
have no intention of using Congress
sional appropriation for furnishing
these apartments. Instead the fur
niture will come from the Hardings'
Marion and Washington homes.
Give the average American Garner
an opportunity of furnishing home
lavishly with Oriental rugs, mahog-
any furniture, beautiful paintings,
costly draperies and he will take it
even though he may know that the
funds, making this purchase possible
and coming out of the public treas
ury, will place hardship at the door
of taxpayers. 1t is difficult task to
show the average Garner that in the
conduct of his own affairs and in the
disbursement of his own earnings, he
should practice thrift and economy.
Economy, like charity, should be-
gin at home. 1t is easy enough to
straddle a neighbours fence and talk
long and vigorously about plans and
programs that, if followed by the
"other fellow" would improve condi-
tions but the real job is for individ-
uals to begin a program of economy
and thrift at home.
The United States Treasury De-
partment, in carrying on the Savings
movement, is endeavoring to impress
upon the mind of every American
Garner desiring sound advice, the adj
visibility of beginning program OF
thrift and economy at home, 1t urges
that every Garner make budget and
in it make allowance for regular saw
ing and sound investment. 1t urges
that whenever any individual makes
an appropriation out of his own funds
and for his own needs, he use the
Judgment of President and Mrs.
Harding when they, approaching the
necessity of a program of economy
in putting the business of our coun-
try back to normal, decided it unwise
to spend the funds commonly provided
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee for the purchase of furniture
when this furniture might be brought
from their Marion and Washington
homes.
That every Garner may begin saw
ing at home, special Saving securities
have been issued by the United States
Treasury Department. These securi-
ties-from the Is cent stamp to the
$1,000 Treasury Savings Certificate
are the best in the world. Talk with
YOUR Postmaster about them.

WHAT TO SEE In
PHILADELPHIA

A pictorial and musical program
that will be hailed by critics as an ex-
ceptional one is that scheduled for
presentation at the Stanley Theatre,
10Th and Market Streets Philadel-
phia, the week of April 18th. The
main attraction will e"The Passion
Flower" with Norma Talmadge as
the star. The musical feature will be
Gertrude Rennyson, the celebrated
Prima Donna Soprano.
"The Passion Flower" is an unusu-
al story adapted from the popular
play of the same name by Jack Han
ctio Bonaventa and its heroine is one
of those characters, the portrayal of
which fits the star perfectly. 1t is
stated that never before has Miss Tai
madge had a role which calls for such
a powerful exhibition of emotional
acting as this does, and advance re-
ports declare that this popular player
even surpasses her previous best eff
forts in this line.
Herbert Brennon who is response
BILE for many lavish and spectacular
productions, among them "a Daugh-
ter of the Gods" directed the play
ers and constructed "The Passion
Flower" This is the first photoplay
he has made in this country since his
achievements abroad.
AS to Miss Rennyson, she is an at
tractive artist who has won much
popularity both in this country and
abroad and her voice has gained i'm
mensely, in volume and sweetness
since last she was identified with
opera in this country. This is Miss
Rennyson's first appearance in a
photoplay theatre and the enormous
sum paid for her appearance would
astound many who are familiar with
the salaries paid artists in her cate
CORY. The surrounding program is
one in keeping with the dignity of
both the feature photoplay and the
vocal star.

WORLDS SWEET TOOTH.

Fifty years ago the candy of the
country was almost invariably hard
and coarse, and much of it unwhole-
some. Now the making of it has
become fine art, and the wizard of
concoction and flavoring has a for
tune at his command. Pure candy
in moderate quantities is no longer
regarded as menace to the healthy
stomach. 1t has been sent to the
American soldiers at Manila, and to
British soldiers in the Transvaal,
while we have "a recent unconfrmed
tradition that the lure of the gum
drop will enlist an Eskimo in almost
any service. AS candy takes its
place among the articles that go to
make up high living, we may assume
that its consumption, even per cap.
ita, is steadily on the increase.

WOULD. LET NEWSPAPERS
SELL FARM PRODUCTS

Never was there a better time
for the New Jersey truck farmer,
who Is IN position to sell ms pro-
ducts direct to nearby markets, to
use newspaper advertising to IN
crease his business and his profits,
say Chlet A. l.. Clark OF the State
Bureau OF Markets IN a seasonable
announcement to growers. 1.-The
consumer is hungry tor fresh vege-
tables and the growers who Will seek
this 'direct-trom-the-t trade
Will ind that business built up
now VIII continue throughout the
year," declares the market head
Hundreds of farmers take their
products to town and peddle them
from door to door. This is too ex-
pensive method of the average
grower" says Chief Clark. Why not
through advertising in the local news
paper, sell the stuff before it is de-
livered ?"
Fright now the public wants fresh
asparagus, fresh rhubarb, fresh eggs
and all other seasonable spring pro-
ducts of the farm. 1t will cost the
farmer more to sell these products di-
rect to retail customers, but the addi-
tional profits will make it worth
while. He should grade and pack
every shipment to please the eye as
well as the taste of the buyer, and he
will discover that by holding his quail
ity high he can hold a dependable
trade throughout the year"
Chief Clark points out that many
farmers spend hundreds, often thou
sands of dollars, for fertilizers, equip
ment and labor to grow their crops,
and continue to market by the me-
thods of their grandfathers. The
steady Improvement of farm market
ing shows the trend toward better
business, he says, and it recognizes
newspaper advertising as one of the
best investments for teh farmer who
can cater to>a nearby market.

A REPLY TO THE ABOVE

April 9Th, 1921.

April 5th, 1921.
My Dear G. c.
Many thanks for your kind letter,
with accompanying dollar for the
benefit of Freddie Rauschert, which
reached me this morning. God re-
ward you and the giver thereof for
your kind thought.
| read with the greatest interest
your article on the need of ,dispens-
ing charity at home. Whilst one
sympathizes heartily with the suffer
ing that exists abroad yet we ought
to realize that there exists equal auf-
fering right here in our own land of
plenty. No one could spend an af-
ternoon in the clinic of one of our
Philadelphia hospitals, as | did re-
Gently, or visit one of the children's
wards, without realizing that under
our very noses, as it were, there
RACES dire necessity and want to
which we are closing our eyes, alas,
only too often. / asked the doctor at
the clinic what, in his opinion, was
the cause of so much suffering
amonst the children; his reply was,
Want of proper nourishment."
| am not boasting what have done,
| am only stating facts. 1 have help
ed the Belgian children, / have help
ed the Austrian children, but as long
as God gives me voice and the pow
er to do so, | am going to see that
our children here in the United
States, and here in our city of Lam
bertville, receive the help that they
need. Personally, | cannot do much,
but can make my voice heard, and

l can use my typewriter, and | shall
not esilent, nor will my machine
cease to click on behalf of our suffer-
ing brethren here at home.
Our hospitals are not supported as
they should be. In every church
there should be annually a special COL
lection, the proceeds of which should
be sent to some hospital to help the
work of love the institution is doing.
Recently we held such a collection
here in st. Andrews Church, and the
result was that was able to send the
sum of $45.50 to the Polytechnic Hos
pital at Philadelphia. The manage
ment write me that they intend US
ing the money, such small sum, to
start some necessary Improvements in
the children's ward. If every relig-
ious establishment in these United
States would send $45 each annually,
and many could send more, think of
what our hospitals would be able to
do.
The worst of all is that, only too
often, money given to help sufferers
abroad never reaches it's destination.
| know of one case where only ten
cents in every dollar reached those
whom the money was given to bene-
fit, the remainder was swallowed up
in so-called necessary expenses. Here
money can be given direct to the in
stitution and thus we know it reaches
it's destination.
With regard to the Rauschert fund,
together with the dollar sent this
morning | have received in all, To-
cally, $27. l have just transmitted
$40 to the Hospital in Philadelphia
to pay the expenses of Freddie's
transfer to the Home for Cardiac
Children at Mineola, L. l., thus leav-
ing SIT in hand. A lady in Phila-
delphia has pledged herself to the
amount of $50, thus making the sum
in all SGT, which will be used in fit
ting the boy out and caring for him
when he leaves the Home, / trust,
cured.
Believe me to remain,
Faithfully yours,
THOMAS J. BENSLEY.

A LETTER FROM ONE WHO
PRACTICES WHAT HE
breaches

Morrisville Pa, Apr. 1, 1921.
Dear Mr.. Editor.
A number of times l have noticed
in the New Hope News that you are
very bitter in your criticism of those
who give or solicit money to help out.
side of the Good Old U. S. A. The
enclosed editorial is an example. Per
NIT me a few comments.
l thoroughly appreciate the fact
that there are many needs, urgent
needs in this country. Some may be
very close at hand, others miles away,
None should be overlooked. Never
theless, Christian people should lend
hand wherever there is need-anv-
where on this globe. The accident of
geography, race position, politics re-
ligion, makes no difference and is no
valid release from obligation to ans
wer real cry for help.
In regard to the facts mentioned in
this particular editorial | cannot ar
que. You admit the truth is being
investigated. Granted that some re-
lief funds are unwisely spent. The
fact is, and the truth of this is un-
questioned that the great bulk of
money raised in America for foreign
reliefs gets there in the shape of in
valuable help.
1t may be true that some food is
purchased abroad. Not all is, by a
good deal. Even if it is don't over
look the fact that it was given to help
certain people. 1t is right to use it
81 it will 60 farthest for that pur-
pose. 1t would be wrong to curtail
its power in order to boose our far
mers and our ship-owners. Food
may be plentiful in parts of Asia, vet
without our assistance, given here, it
would not reach the victims and
starvation would reign.
Jesus told his disciples to go unto
the uttermost parts of the earth to
help our fellowmen. He also told
us that our lives will be judged by
the help we have given unto 'even the
least of these our brethren" He Sc
verely condemned the priest and Lee
vite who crossed the road so as not
to see an opportunity for rendering
assistance. Suppose those whom we
help cannot repay us-all the more
glory in helping them.
Your argument might be reasonable
If foreign relief moneys were given
at the expense of local aid. They are
not. They are not. They are raised
in addition to it. Christian people
will back any good cause with their
pocketbooks if brought to their atten-
ton.
If no aid is given abroad till all
home needs are met then you never
will get off your block. You yourself
object to Lambertville people helping
Trenton prosper, and yet YOU show
Much sympathy for Pacific coast mer-
chants. The remedy for this dilemma
IS to set no limit at all on your SYM
pathies. Let it cover all men every
where.
Excuse this long letter. I don't
like to rile you or to raise objections.
1t is not fair though, to label as
suckers" folks who are trying to
help poor devils in peril of their lives.
Please don't do anything more to dis
courage those who are ready to give
far as well as near.
I'd like to end so as to leave as
good taste as possible in your
mouth. Here's a boost. | heartily
approve of your stand and campaign
to remedy certain evils in Lambert
vile. In token whereof / enclose a
scrap of paper" to assist whatever
Lambertville cause needs it most.

Can a strong man love too deeply,

Does his strength become as weak

Is it true that independence, than de-
votion, wins more sure? ........
Tho a loved ones heart be noble,
may sincerity be scorned? .......
Can the sleepless nights of yearning

Is deception and pretension oft re-

Can a noble love be lowered to the

Can such schemes be more rewarded
than the truth that throbs in love?.

butt for common jibes? ..........
While the blatant pose of master"

Can a trust without suspicion pave
