Neither Mr, Harrison Mr. Roosevelt in 188 raised any question as to the patriotism of a Democratic Co gress. That was not an issue. It is pot an issue now. What they were con- cerned about was the effect in Europe of a repuditiation at the polls of the Me- Kinley Administration-—for that is what the election of a Democratic Congress in 1898 would have meant, just as the election of a Republican Congress in 1918 will be interpreted as a repudiation of the Wilson Administration Will that help or hinder a victorious prosecution of the war’ If it will help, the country should not hesitate to act accordingly, but it should not be asked to take a leap in the dark. Itis the pa- triotic duty of Republican leaders to in. form the voters how such a repudiation of President Wilson's Administration will promote the victory for which the free nations are so eagerly waiting, and for which American troops are so bril- linntly fighting.

Every six minutes”, observes the Washington Post, “a merchant vessel arrives and another departs from Amer- ican ports. From North Atlantic sea- ports, there is a departure every eleven minutes ; and one from Europe every forty minutes. This rate operation does not include vessels in the service of the army and pavy. The merchant fleet of 1500 ships under control of the shipping board are run as railroads on a time schedule The above—a record to be proud of— speaks volumes for the constructive abil- ity and the vision of President Wilson nd his party supporters. It was made possible by a Democratic Congress, not with the help but in despite of the op- position of Republican members of the Senate and the House, During the session of 1914-15 Presi dent Wilson urged Congress to provide the means by which the Goverment could go into the shipbuilding business. He foresaw then the necessity for ships, The House passed the bill, but the Sec- ate Republicans killed it by a filibuster in the closing days of the 1915 session. The next session the bill was reintroduc. ed and ultimately wus forced to passage by the Democrats over the vigorous pro- test of Republicans, The vote of the House was 209 to 161. Of the 161 nega- tive votes, 160 were cast by Republic. ans, It passed the Senate 38 to 21. Of the 21 votes in cpposition 20 were cast by Republicans, The leaders of the minority party in both the House and Senate were among those who fought the ship building bill. And now they seek to convince the country that they should be given control of the next Con. gress to ** help the President win the war.” Judging by past performance on this most important of all war.winning measure, the ** help ” a Republican con- trolled Congress would give the Presi. | dent would be destructive rather than ! constructive, ——— I A] —————— Try an ad, in The Reporter, of BOALSBURG.

Attention to the spread of San Jose scale in the orchards in the northern and western parts of Pennsylvania is called by Professor J. G. Sanders, Eco: nomic Zoologist of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Professor Sanders in a recent visit through the north and west sections found many orchards were being de- stroyed by the scale. Thousands of trees on farms and in orchards have been attacked. Professor Sanders says that the farm- ers and orchardists relying on natural enemies and parasites to destroy the San Jose scale are being deluded and that in order to save their trees they must at once plan for a systematic pro- gram of dormant sprays.
