Get the thing done. Do it noiv. Delay is fatal. The only way for a busy man to get through his tvork is to take up one thing at a time and stick to it until he puts it through.

DOING THEIR DUTY NOT many fully realize what the railroads are doing to make Harrisburg what it aspires to be —"The Heart of Distribution." Really great developments are under way. The railroad managers see farther than most of our own people. They are spending their companies' money ; to make their visions come true. They are building not only for to-day, but for the future. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany is erecting a great freight depot and constructing immense freight yards adjoining. The Cumbefland Valley is spending three-quarters of a million to give itself a double track entrance to Harrisburg and much more on subways and yard room. The Heading is increasing its trackage to Rutherford and preparing to handle more fregiht in the yards there. The city and the railroads are growing and developing together. This is as it should be. The railways and the community they serve are in reality partners in business. The owners of local commercial concerns are all working for the prosperity of their own individual enterprises. The sum of their progress represents the advance of the community as a whole, and each one of them to that extent is working for the benefit of the com- I munity, even though he may con- . tribute nothing to public-spirited ! movements. Intelligent self-interest i prompts the railroad to be an active partner in the work of community; development, and in Harrisburg the j railroads are realizing their duty in ! this respect to the full—and are do- I ing it. It begins to look as though New York's little trick in favor of Brooklyn j liad been played in vain. After to-day it will be hard to make ' anybody believe that Harrisburg is \ not enthusiastically for Hughes. SECRETARY GKEGORY THERE appeared in the Telegraph last evening the picture and birth- i day greeting of Frank H. Gregory. ! The Telegraph delights in paying homage to such as he. Mr. Gregory is typical of the best! citizenship of Harrisburg. It is an old ■ Baying that there is risk in building a I monument to any man still alive. A j memorial might l>e erected to Mr. Gregory with absolute assurance that ; he would live up to it. Rut he needs ! no monument at the hands of his I fellows; he has built his own. It is the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C. A. Mr. Gregory took charge of that In- ' stitution when its future was in doubt ' and when its quarters consisted of an \ obscure suite of rooms in a rented I building. To-day it occupies a beautl- I ful structure of its own and has set the ' pace for the rest of the city by in- j stalling the only swimming pool in town. It is a great and growing force ; for good in its sphere. The reporter carelessly, or carefully, ; we don't know which, omitted to note ! which birthday it was that Mr. Gregory j yesterday celebrated, but it is no mat- | ter of consequence. Men like the sec- I retary measure their lives by deeds, i not years, and they never grow old in ! spirit, and but slowly in body. The ! Telegraph wishes him many more of 'em. A "relative of the President" writes for the Public Ledger a long article brimming with tears about "the lonely man in the White House." but most of us feel that he knew how to dispel his loneliness and didn't pause long in doing it. CLEAN" LANGUAGE FIFTY thousand men and boy marched along the principal thor oughfares of Philadelphia yester day carrying banners of Holy Name societies and giving visible evidence of their pledge against "perjury, blas phemy, profanity and obscene speech." Thl movement of the Catholic Church Is an example for all denomi nations. Profanity is all too common. Obscenity too often masquerades as humor. The oath Is the signpost of a deficient vocabulary. Profane language Is weak language. It conveys no other meaning than that of ungoverned temper. It Inspires neither respect nor TUESDAY EVENING, BXSSiBBORG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 10,1916. obedience. It arouses antagonism and I sows discord. It offends the ear and disgusts the hearer. He who damns, damns to his own condemnation. As for obscenity—that is worse, if anything, than profanity. The "shady story," the Joke that defiles the mouth and the mind, the tale that drags womanhood In the dirt; these circulate almost wherever men foregather. They are not confined to wicked men, cither. Otherwise decent, respectable citizens Indulge in them. Nevertheless, there is no excuse for these racy tales or tho Joke with the double meaning. The Holy Name Society's pledge is one way to discourage both profanity and obscenity. The other Is—never use any language nor tell any story that you would blush to have your mother hear. | Many an Investor learned yesterday j that he doesn't know as much about | Wall Street as he thought he did. ! Those U-boats should have been nam. j ed O K-boats. BLOCKING OUR PORTS VON BERNSTORFF blandly as sures President Wilson that Germany's "pledges will be | kept," the while the German govern ! ment is blockading our ports against | neutral shipping, sinking neutral shipn j along our coasts without search and j disregarding nearly every policy of I submarine warfare laid down by the Wilson administration. "The lives of non-combatants can not lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy," President Wilson himself declared and added that to "put them | In small boats and leave them to the | mercy of the sea" was placing them In | the very peril which the. President as | serted the United States would not 1 tolerate. j Only the presence of American ' naval vessels In large numbers pre | vented loss of life following the whole- I sale destruction of shipping on Sunday. ! Passengers, regardless of nationality i and without inquiry as to whether or I not they were American citizens, were i hurried into tiny boats and heft to the i mercy of threatening fog and a rough J sea. All day long the reckless com mander of the submarine used his one ! mounted gun to spread terror and de- I struction about him. Whether his shells struck an American vessel or warship in the otfing or whether they flew wide and destroyed property ashore mattered naught to him. He was without the ridiculously inade ! quate three-mile limit and he cared I not a hoot for anything but the ac ! complishment of the purpose on which he was bent. The safety of American shipping and American lives was noth ing to him, nor to the government that sent him. The result was a slump in the Amer ican stock market that wiped out values of millions and a panic among shippers that has demoralized the ex port business of the whole Atlantic coast. The effect is an attempt—more or less effectual—to blockade Ameri can waters against neutral shipping. Our naval officers have been placed in the ignominious position of life-savers in the wake of German men-of-war. Our business has been struck a terri ble blow. American lives have been placed in danger and, if the operations of the submarines are not brought to a prompt halt, we shall awaken some fine morning soon with another Lusi tanla horror on our hands and at our very doors. Yet President Wilson sits supinely by with bolded hands, enraptured by the siren song of Von Bernstorff, who tells him that "Germany's pledges will be kept." The people, however, are of another mind, and it will go hard with the President in November if he does not take -steps to guarantee the safety of American lives and neutral shipping in American waters. This latest exam ple of German insolence is Intolerable. We must see to it that the American flag is supreme in American waters or we may as well haul down the Stars and Stripes and hoist the German standard on every American ship of war. HIT IT THIS TIME, ANYWAY MODERN science has given the old-time, long-distance almanac ! a hard jolt, lifting it from many time-honored places by the fireside and relegating It to the waste basket. It has lost Its rank as a household god. The farmer and the gardener now read their weekly government forecasts and scorn to take stock In the prognostications of the author of the almanac. (By the way, who Is the author of the almanac?) But casting down the columns of a stray copy of the Century Almanac for 1916, one reads that In "the latter part of summer or Fall there will be many diseases, almost pestilential in their nature, such as fevers, intes tinal disorders, and others." The pre ceding paragraph predicted "cold, wet weather for Spring and shortage of grain crops for the year." Which, it is respectfully submitted, was a pretty good guess, considered from the viewpoint of conditions here abouts. This is no argument in favor of the almanac as an infallible or even as a reliable forecaster. There is an old saying to the effect that "even a blind hog sometimes finds an acorn." Confessions are good for the soul; also they cut down court costs. If you can't find a business man with whom you have an engagement go look for him before one of the bast ball bulletin boards. CAPITAL AND LABOR NOTHING has so encouraged pes simism In the United States as the attitude of President Wil son in the matter of the so-called eight-hour law. But pessimism as to the Inherent soundness of character generally, one writer points out, Is not warranted. We have not forgotten how the voters smashed the slxteen-to-ono foolishness of William Jennings Bryan and the people will Just as certainly crush the tendency toward paternalism which has char acterized the present weak admlnls- tratlon at Washington. We must meet | with courage and honesty the obltga- ! gatlons of our day, says thts same! writer, and we must resist with all our might every influence making for na tional disintegration. Intelligent labor leaders themselves are. realizing now, and much sooner than the President had anticipated, how adversely they will be affected by the reaction of public opinion growing out of increased living cost and other results of excessive legisla tion to cure the alleged ills of society. The only result of loose and hasty leg islation is to stimulate agitation and unrest, and real friends of labor are not disposed to Involve the working man in endless controversy and dis content. Capital and labor must go hand-ln-hand; It cannot be otherwise. ""pottttC* OV By the Ex-Committeeman The Republican State committee at its meeting in Philadelphia late yes terday afternoon adopted a platform emphasizing national issues, especially Americanism, preparedness and the tariff, arid referring to the fact that Republicans elected to State and legis lative offices two years ago did their duty. The meeting was very largely attended, and while there was much discussion of the platform plans among the members and county leaders pres ent, there was no debate upon the floor. In the subcommittee in charge nn effort was made to give more atten tion to woman suffrage and the State administration and when the platform came before the whole body H. A. Da vis. of Blair, offered a resolution deal ing with local option, which was not pressed by anyone else. The meeting was notable for the ad dresses made by Philander C. Knox, candidate for senator, who was given a complimentary reference In the plat form, by United States Senator Rotes Penrose and George T. Oliver, State Chairman William E. Crow and others. Everyone in attendance at the ses sion went to the Hughes meeting in the evening. The platform as adopted is as fol lows: The last platform adopted by the Republican party of Pennsyl vania declared our faith in repre sentative government and alle giance to the principles of the national Republican party. Upon Democratic matters we declared in favor of progressive, humani tarian and economic legislation. The General Assembly of 1915, controlled by a large Republican majority, honestly redeemed the pledges of the State platform, and under that platform the people elected by a grand majority a United States Senator 'sound in the faith,' wise in the counsels of the nation, and recognized in his years of service and experience as one of the dependable and strong men in the United States Senate. They also elected a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and other State officials, who need no com mendation, and when their terms of office shall have expired they will be enrolled among the many loyal, efficient and honored men of the State. Realizing that the paramount questions before the people at this time are national, we pass by State questions, with the declaration and promise that the party will pursue the same wise course in matters of State laws and govern ment that It always has, and which has olaced Pennsylvania in its proud position among the States; j'.bsolutely free from debt; ad vanced in education; liberal in its charities: progressive in public im provements: and in all things careful for the advancement and welfare of its people. Appreciating the ominous out look of the times and looking for efficiency and integrity, the Re publicans of Pennsylvania have unanimously nominated for United States Senator a man who has been tried and proven. He has been United States Senator, Attor ney General and Secretary of State. No man ever has been bet ter trained and educated in a school of preparedness. They also have nominated for Congressman at large. Auditor General and State Treasurer men of capacity, integrity and experi ence. The all-important national ques tions before the people are the tariff. preparedness and true Americanism. These questions all have been considered in the na tional platform and we earnestly indorse the declarations therein relating io them; and we Indorse the candidates nominated by the national Republican convention for President and Vice-President of the United States: and with grateful *lianks to a wise Provi dence for the bounties of nature, a prosperous State, and a happy people, we pledge, as exemplifying th*e intelligence of this people, an ovfrwhelmlng Republican major ity in the State for hoth the na tional and State tickets at the ap proaching election. The suffrage plank was urged by a delegation of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association, which asked the subcommittee to indorse specifically the national Republican woman sur frage plank. Although the platform committee did not act upon the sug gestion. the executive board of the as sociation, In a statement last night signed by Mrs. Mary J. T. Orlady, the president, and Mrs. Lucy K. Miller, party chairman, said that it was not to be supposed that the State commit tee intended to discredit the suffrage plank any more than other planks in the national Republican platform, to which no reference was made In the platform adopted by the State com mittee. On the other hand, the ex ecutive board argued that the State committee doubtless believed that all Republicans accept, as not debatable or to be questioned, all those planks in the national Republican platform, in cluding the Monroe Doctrine, rural credits, rural free delivery, conserva tion and civil service reform, not men tioned in the platform adopted by the Republican State committee yesterday. The State committee adopted a re port of the subcommittee on rules, of which ex-Judge W. D. Wallace, of I.awrence county, was chairman, and in which was a provision that vacan cies In the offlce of member of the Republican national committee shall be filled-by the State committee, and that the national committeeman shall bo ex officio a member of the State committee and the executive and finance committee thereof. ' Ex-Senator Knox attacked the Democratic administration for Its "claims, pretensions and spurious pro gram of legislation." He called it an administration of "pleasant phrases." Mr. Knox declared that the coming campaign Is one of the most Important In the nation's history. The policies of the Wilson government, so far as they relate to the external world, he as serted, have been repudiated. Senator Oliver said following the clots of the European war the men In charge of our national affairs will be confronted with problems which will transcend in Importance anything that When a Feller Needs a Friend By BRIGGS /- -And HE DIDN'T TKKE / His CKP OFF IKI The house / AM' HE DIDM'T 3AV PLEASE / A.NID TVlAvrslK foil Tb \ is been presented to the American I / has been presented to the American people from the American govern ment since the time of Abraham Lin coln. To megt these problems, he said, will require a man in the White House and a ruling body in Congress with sane judgment and serene mind. Senator Penrose declared that all breaches in the Republican party had been closed and that all Republicans were now working shoulder to shoul der. He predicted an overwhelming majority for Hughes of 300,000 in Pennsylvania, 200,000 in New York, 200,000 in Illinois, 60,000 in New Jer sey. "And if," he continued, "we do lose some small western States, it will be forgotten in the victory of Hughes." Speeches were also made by Charles A. Snyder, candidate for Auditor Gen eral, nominees for Congressmen at large, M. M. Garland, of Pittsburgh, and Joseph McLaughlin, of Philadel phia. Congressman Ixuiis T. McFadden, of Canton; W. I. Schaffer, of Delaware county, all of whom forecast the elec. tion of Hughes and Fairbanks in vigor, ous onslaughts upon the Wilson ad ministration. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" XO TYPHOID AT lIKRSHKY CHOCOLATE FACTORY To the' Editor of the Telegraph: In the early part of the typhoid epi demic in and around Harrisburg your paper stated that the Hershey Choco late Company had no connection with the Hershey Creamery Company and that it was not a dealer in ice cream. In spite of these published state ments there is> confusion in the public mind and the Hershey Chocolate Com pany is receiving ino.uiries as to the facts. As the Hershey Chocolate Com pany and its allied interests employ 2.?00 persons, any false report or im pression that disturbs its business may be a serious matter for a considerable part of Lebanon Valley. We ask, therefore, that you inform your readers again by the publication of this letter or otherwise that the Hershey Chocolate Company, the Her she> Industrial School, the Hershey farms, the town of Hershey and all the interests associated with the name of M. S. Hershey are wholly distinct and separate from other organizations using the name of Hershey. None of the Hershey interests here has any connection, direct or'indirect, with the Hershey Creamery Company, which is a concern owned mainly by nersons living in other counties.

THAT OIJD GRAY COAT By Wins Dinger This morning it was taken From out the wooden chest. Where for six months it's hidden And had a peaceful rest. And out upon the clothes line It's hung the livelong day In order that the breezes Might 'round about It play. For odors strong of camphor And moth ball, too, so round. In every crease and wrinkle / Do certainly abound. I'll tell you something, brother. The old, old billy goat Has nothing on the flavor Of last year's overcoat UNCLE SAM PATHETIC WORLD FIGURE, SA YS EMERSON BROWNE HUGHES has a record as clean as a hound's tooth, and as straight as a sapling. That you must ad mit whether you like him or not. When he investigated the Insurance scandals in New York he didn't sit down and write notes to the perpe trators thereof. He went to them calmly, capably, firmly: and he put them through the hoops like bare bark riders. He never played politics. You never caught any of Hughes' appointees ask ing for places for deserving Republi cans. If he had. inside of five minutes said appointee would have been out looking for a similar situation him self. You never found Hughes fostering a •Tosepus Daniels or a self-confessed po litical jobber like Hay. or Virginia, or that other amiable pork barrel expert who announced that when anybody else took home a ham, he wanted a whole hog; which sounds very much as though he meant to kidnap himself. Look over Hughes' life and you will find that he has read broadly, traveled broadly, thought broadly. He has been honest. He has been fenrless. He has never traded, never truckled. When he has said a thing he has meant it. When he has said he'd do a thing, he has done It. When he was governor of New York he appointed men not because they were deserving Republicans, but because they were the right men for the right places. He closed the family entrance to the Capi tol; he abolished the habit of whisper ing so prevalent among politicians. Anybody that had anything to say to him had to Speak rttght Out Loud. It wouldn't have taken Hughes two years to find out what he thought about preparedness; and to have done some thing to prepare. Nor, when the time came, would he have vacillated be tween good plans and bad until mem bers of his own cabinet became sick and disgusted and resigned while he selected the worst. Where Wilson has been weak, Hughes has been strong. Where Wilson has followed a policy of vacillating oppor tunism, Hughes has hewn to the line. Where Wilson has dlllied and dallied and sidestepped, "too proud to fight" one minute, and "feeling himself In a fighting mood" the .iext Hughes has said what he has meant and meant what he has said. Wilson has spoken before he has thought. Hughes has thought before he has spoken. Hughes has led. Wil son has followed. Hughes has acted. Wilson has talked. A Pathetic World Flaure Before a fighting world, giving of I their heart's blood on sodden battle fields in causes that they think are right, we stand a pathetic world figure, rich, fat, selfish, clinking in our full pockets dollars wrung from the suffer ings of others. They have outraged us; they have Insulted us; they have berated, and abused, and heaped on us indignity af ter Indignity.

No more do we want disease. War may never come to us. Nor disease. Only do we demand that should either come, we be strong, and clean, and firm to combat It. This Wilson has failed to make us, failed because he does not understand and cannot seem to learn. And four years is a long time for a nation of a hundred million people to stand and wait while one man (joes to school. Wilson has failed o make us strong because he himself is weak. He has answered a blow with a note; he lias replied to Insult with more notes; and to inquiry with yet other notes. He has left American citizens, whom he was pledged to protect, to the mercies of any and all who cfiose to rob, to dishonor and to kill. The ocean is laden and the land is fringed with the corpses of American men, American women, American chil dren who, giving their ail to their country, found that their country would give them nothing. No written word of man ever restrained a Nubian lion, a Mexican bandit or a German subma rine. They live by force alone; and the only thing that they respect or un derstand Is a greater force. Words may be met with words! But deeds can be checked only by deeds. This, Woodrow Wilson in four shame ful years has failed to learn; nor, ap parently will he ever. He has said. "America first." But he ljas meant only, "safety first," hiding the while behind the miasma of his own grandiloquent periods while Ills countrymen have red dened sea and land with the blood of their bodies, and America, last, head down, eyes sunk in shame, has followed in the dust of his defeats. The Ktrrnictb of Hughes Hughes has been strong. 4le has aald, America first and America efficient, America great and America honored. He thinks It not enough to talk of America being first. She must be made first. He knows that to do this, her citizens must not be strong in word only, but In deed, great not only In council, but In action, calm In thought ' and In speech, Jealous in honor, zealous in the protection of American lives and American liberties, willing to talk when talk Is wise; but ready and powerful to act when words fall and deeds must take their place. May we not, then, nope and believe that through him can we once again become strong and crean and firm, strong as was Washington, clean as wap Lincoln, firm as was Grant, strong and clean and firm as were those line men from whom we sprung, who won for us. and left to us. this great and wonderful heritage that is alike our country and our trust?— Porter Emer son Browne, In Collier's. Dust Throwing Phrase [Kansas City Star] The defense of the President, "He kept us out of war," sounds good as a campaign cry. But It Is becoming In creasingly apparent that it Is being used to cover up failures In foreign policy and to divert attention from the real issues. What those failures have been were catalogued by Colonel Roosevelt In his reply to Secretary Lane printed yesterday. The outcome of the ad ministration's submarine policy and of Its Mexican policy was there set forth in detail. The record is one that no American can contemplate without humiliation. It Is In an effort to keep this record In the background that the campaign orators are attempting to center at tention on the sentence, "He kept us out of war." Ebftting (Eljat When the Eighth infantry cornea hack to Pennsylvania, which Is said to be probable some time before Thanks giving day, Harrlsburg will be more than ever a military center and will have no less than five units of the regiment to say nothing of the Gov ernor's Troop, or Troop C, of the First cavalry. It Is not Improbable that before long there may be other or ganizations formed and located here, owing to the growing requirements of the military establishment in which the National Guard of Pennsylvania * constitutes an Important portion or the first line. Col. M. 13. Finney, co ™- mander of the Eighth, will have his headquarters in this city and the headquarters company, the supply company and the machine gun com pany will also be located here. There are quite some organizations although not as numerically strong as Infantry companies D and I which will have the peace strength of 65 each. The headquarters company, for instance, has a list of sergeants, including the sergeants major and those with the colors, stable sergeant? mess sergeant, horseehoer and others while the band Is also carried as part of this com pany. The supply company consists of the men In charge and one wag oner for each wagon. There are twenty-two wagons authorized for the Eighth. The machine gun company which has the two guns, Is composed of llfty-two men. The City Grays' armory will be a pretty busy place because those organizations will have to drill and to undergo Inspection and there will also have to be considerable property like the wagons stored some place. In time probably more in fantry companies will be located here and there may also be a branch of the artillery arm or maybe an engineer company. The National Guard is shy three engineer companies and with the steel works, railroad shops and similar establishments here there ought to be little trouble forming such an organization in this city or Steel ton If needed. "When the five com panies are definitely settled It will put Harrlsburg in line for a very substan tial appropriation for a new btate armory. , The baseball games are taking a good many men away from their places of business these afternoons and there are some amusing collis ions between partners, masters and men and others who do not tell each other where they are going. Yester day one man called up his place of business and asked for his right arm. Mr. Right Arm had just stepped out. Then he called for his left arm. He had just "gone to the station to meet a friend." He called for a third man and he had been "taken ill." Finally he asked for himself and the loyal, lucky fellow at the other end of the wire responded: "Why, ho was just here a minute ago. He has just gone out." • • • This Is the time of the year when the youngsters are being taken out on rambles and hikes and when they are getting close to nature and learning more about the birds and animals and the trees and plants than they do at any time of the year.
