THE AT.T IF.S AND GREECE THE allies are doing in Greece precisely what they criticised Germany for doing in Belgium, except that there are no reports of them smashing her churches and kill ing her citizens. Nevertheless, the crime now being perpetrated in the name of military necessity is of first magnitude. They have seized her fleets and have transgressed her laws and trespassed upon her territory. Americans who grew hot over the crime of Belgium cannot witness this rape of Greece without anger and re sentment. If tho allies eelleve they will gain anything, either byway of material advantage or popular sympathy, they are mistaken. Two wrongs never made one right. The tactics of Germany in Belgium were those of the ruthless conqueror. Those of the allies in Greece have robbed the people of that country of their liberties and made a travesty of their citizenship. Americans who have sympathized with the allies will pattse for a mo ment to wonder which is the worst — the despoiler of Belgium or the in vader of Greece. It becomes more and more evident that neither side in the present struggle has any re gard for the rights of neutrals. Both sides have been playing for the favor of America because it so happened that they placed a market value on that favor. Whenever it has trans pired that either the allies or Ger many felt that they had more to gain by slapping us in the face than by smiling upon us, we have been slap ped. We must expect that this will continue to be the policy of both, and we ought to govern ourselves accord ingly. The Public Ledger prints an editorial on congested Philadelphia streets. Must be getting as bad down there as in Harrisburgr. UNRULY NEGRO ELEMENT THE police authorities should be heartily supported by City Council in their effort to put down the unruly negro element that scarcity of foreign labor and busy Industries have brought to this locality from the South. Bad characters by the score, the worst clement of the colored race, men who could not get employment in their home communities because of their reputations or who were anxious to get out because they had offended against the law, have been brought to Dauphin county in recent months. These are the colored men who have been re sponsible for all the trouble. Safety of the people is first consid eration, of course, but a spirit of fair play to the hundreds of law-abiding colored people of this city and Steelton also demands that these Southern negroes be kept in check, it is not right that the whole race should be siven a black eye because one element of it is bad. The Colored Law and Order Society has offered its services to the local police in locating or run ring down negroes who break the law. Tiiis shows clearly where the men who are the sinew and blood of the colored lace in Harrisburg and vicinity stand. The idea in Illinois seems to be that if the Democrats can put all the suf fragists in the hospital until after elec tion they may keep Hughes from get ting their votes. MARRIAGE OE A PRINCESS ' A CABLEGRAM gives account of the latest royal marriage in Europe, a very unusual event. The Princess Marie Therese of Hoh enlohe, it says, has given up all her family ties and a brilliant future at court to marry Otto Kohlats, of Inns bruck, an apothecary's assistant and a descendant of an humble Austrian family. The Princess nursed Kohlals while he was in a hospital suffering from illness contracted on the battle field. The Princess is twenty-one years old. The house of Hohenlohe is one of the oldest and most powerful in the Central Empires. When the couple plighted their troth, her family forbade the mar riage and ordered the girl to quit the hospital, but last week they eloped and were married In Vienna. The semiroyal bride is wholly dependent upon Kohlals' income, which is S2O a week. The war has turned European so ciety upside down. The great have been humbled and the humble have become great. Life in the trenches lias had a democratizing effect on SATURDAY EVENING, those thus brought together from all walks of life to share a common rou tine and danger. The tenant farmers of England, It Is said, are going home when the war ends, to be land owners. The long rule of caste In Britain Is crumbling. France had already learned the lesson and the humble downtrodden Russian will lay aside his uniform with a new conception of his powers and the part ho should play in governmental affairs. Royalty weds into the middle class, and the middle class does not hesitate to as pire to the hand of royalty. The marriago of the princess and her lover, the apothecary's assistant, is interesting and unusual. It is a striking illustration of the leveling process of war, where the humble drug clerk met, as a soldier of the empire, the princess royal, in the garb of a hospital nurse. Soldier and nurse, only, were they In cupid's eyes. With the close of the conflict men will return to their old walks, and life will again begin to follow its daily hum-drum much as before. But the men who go back will not be the men who went out, exactly. They will carry with them a sense of equal ity with their fellows. The drill sergeant who "right-foot, left-foot's" a platoon of young men of the aristo cratic clasa will never look upon aristocracy with the old awe again. To what extent this democratic view point will affect the life of the nation that develops it remains to be seen, but that it will be felt Is certain. | When the "ultimate consumer" con ! sumes a dish of ice cream these days, i he runs the risk of becoming very ulti | mate. MT. UNION MT. UNION", that hustling, pros perous little community some hundred miles to the west of j us along the main line of the Pennsyl ! vania railroad, has been heralded • abroad as a "war bride" town, be -1 j cause it so happened that there was j located there at the outset of Euro pean hostilities the plant of one of the big powder manufacturers. But Mt. Union's prosperity is based on a ! firmer foundation than that of trade iin munitions. It is laid, literally and j figuratively, on a rock, for it depends for its basic supply to feed the great ' brick industry that is now making it famous, on the stone that lies scat tered in Inexhaustible quantities all | over the hills roundabout, j Jit. Union is growing fast, but its | expansion is not of the mushroom va riety. It is building to take care of j the permanent population that has come with the founding of the im ' mense refractory works there. And listen, Mr. Harrisburger, it is erecting a fine new high school, and the school | board didn't have to make a special i campaign to get the money. I The Dutch complain because we don't stop the Germans from making war ' along our coasts. Why don't the Dutch i begin at home? KREIDER ANI) LABOR DEMOCRATS discussing the candi dacy of Congressman Krelder for re-election have neglected a ' very important item in reviewing the j Congressman's labor record, an item, I by the way, that illustrates very clear . ly Mr. Kreider's attitude toward labor. Long before the passage of the work men's compensation law by the State Mr. Kreider had worked out a com ! pensation law for his own factories, whereby any employe who became 1 sick or was injured was reimbursed |by the company. The terms of this arrangement were more generous to the working man or woman than are those required by the recently enact Ed statute. Mr. Kreider has always paid generous wages and has not been slow to reward good work, as may be illustrated by the fact that several men who started in with him as laborers at laborer's wages are now partners in the firm of which he is the head and others have been advanced to posi tions of trust. This is the kind of a labor record that counts for' some thing. Evidently those who have the award ing of the Nobel peace prize do not agree with those who tell us that "He kept us out of war." Our idea of getting rich fast would be to be able to sell chestnuts by the car load at the prices charged by the cor ner-roaster. RE IT BMC A X M EETIXC.B THE Republicans have begun their mass meetings throughout the county. They are well attended \ and enthusiastic, but really they were unnecessary this year. It is always well to carry the message of the can didates and of the party at large di rectly to the voters by word of mouth, but Danphln county is so evidently Republican this year that a majority might have been had if not h. stroke of work had been done. This is a Hughes year in Harrisburg and the county at large. The mass meetings are merely guarantees of good faith. Senator Vardaman, Democrat, of Mis sissippi, says he was dazed by the result of the election in Maine. "Dazed" is probably an inadequate word to express the feelings of a man for a State as solidly Democratic as Mississippi, but it Is no word to express the feelings of a Democrat in a doubtful State. There is no word or bunch of words in the dictionary adequate to describe the dis appointment, dismay and dumbfound edness of the man from New Jersey. SCRAMBLING FOR VOTES PRESIDENT WILSON is more and more creating the impression of a wild-eyed individual with coat tails streaming, grabbing the rear railing and scrambling to swing him self aboard the band wagon where the votes are stored. In his speech before the Chicago Press Club yesterday he predicted the beginning of "a renaissance of the sense of patriotic responsibility." After having done all that mortal man could do to deaden in the eyes of the world that very sense of patriot ism on the part of America, he now comes forth at the eleventh hour In a clever attempt to work upon the ■'• UJUPII i BAKRISBUBO flfijjftl TELEGRAPH ( * TYPHOID INNOCULATION IS NOW "QUITE THE THING IN HARRISBURG g JuTcftU'SE~ HE'S BEEN OCOLftTEO GeniNCr TME.

Why does America's sense of patriotic responsibility need any re birth if it isn't that Wilson himself killed that sense by his weak-kneed policy toward Germany and Mexico? President Wilson wants It understood that he yielded to the four labor unions after mature deliberation, that he thinks that policy most expedient and that he would do so again If occasion offered. It is well that we have a clear understanding of his views of official responsibility. From personal observation we feel sure that New York will give Wilson about the same kind of a majority he Is going to get in Pennsylvania. r* 1 —a— i - 111 1 '"""II I T>ota* | By the Ex-Coivunitteeman Republican State candidates spoke at Scranton last night at one of the liveliest meetings held in that city in years and received assurances that the anthracite region was not solid for the Republican national and State tickets but that it would return Re publican legislators and Congressmen beyond a doubt. Democratic claims were found to be moonshine. The Republican candidates were in Philadelphia to-day to discuss matters with State Chairman Crow and they reported things in excellent shape throughout the State. Congressman Crago left the party to make a speech at Masontown. The Republican State party will make speeches Monday and Tuesday and come here on Wednesday for the big Knox rally. —Democratic National Committee man McCormick says it is all over and that his man wins. Seems that we have heard something line that before. —President Wilson had Bryan with him part of the trip across the State yesterday and the famous lecturer left him to speak in Johnstown in behalf of re-election of Congressman Warren Worth Bailey, who is in deep waters. Mr. Bryan did not draw very well in Cambria county. —President Wilson spoke at Greensburg on his way to this city and the rain rained all the time. He was also hustled out into the rain at Lan caster —but his squad hail gotten over its fright and there was not as much excitement as there was here. —State Chairman Guffey dropped off the presidential special here last night to see how things are doing at the windmill. He did not find much to please him. —Governor Brumbaugh is in Phila delphia. but will return here Mon day. Wednesday he leaves for New York for the first of his speeches. The name of Congressman W. S. Vare was substituted for that o£ H. 11. Hacker as the Washington party can didate for Congress in the First dis trict to-day. John K. Loughlin was made substitute Democratic candidate for the House in the Twenty-first Philadelphia district. Withdrawals filed to-day were H. H. Spayd, Wash ington, Twenty-ninth Senatorial dis trict; Arthur B. Fleming, Washington, Third Schuylkill, and Richard B. Scrandrett, Personal Liberty, Seventh Allegheny. —Each of the commissioners ap pointed by Governor Martin O. Brum baugh to take the votes of the Penn sylvania National Guardsmen now at the Border will be given between 200 and 300 pounds of material and sup plies to take to El Paso when he comca here to take the oath of office on Tuesday afternoon. The oath of office will be adminis tered by Secretary of the Common wealth Cyrus E. Woods, who will also present to the commissioners their instructions. They will also be told their powers and be given the ballots which they wilt be required to deliver to the soldiers when they open the polls on election day in Camp Stewart. An interesting question that has arisen is about the returns of the soldiers votes. No provision has been made for wiring the results and they will have to be sent by mail or brought home by the commissioners after the votes are counted and announced at the Border. The time for making changes in the lists of candidates to be voted for nccct month or for filing withdrawals at the ofTice of the wecretary of the Com monwealth will expire next Monday. The ballots will be certified to tlie commissiioners of each county for printing on that day. —Just now there Is a lot of talk about investigations that are likely to be made when the next Legislature meets but the general opinion about the Capitol is that they will go the way of such rumors in years gone by. —The State printers will be glad ■when the ballots are all printed and the lists and other supplies are made out. Chief Clerk George D. Thorn, of the State Department, who has been bearing the brunt of a situation which changes every four hours, has made up half a dozen ballots and as many lists, all of which have had to be changed because of eleventh hour matters turning up. Mr. Thorn's work, however, will be just commenc ing because he will have to boss the compilation of the returns. —W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Republican State committee, was home to-day from the Republican State headquarters for the week-end. Mr. Baker has the headquarters run ning smoothly and is in touch with the organization in every county. He is very confident of the results.

If Your Boy Is Looking For a Job — The Woman's Home Companion re ceives thousands of letters annually from people asking what they should do with their children in looking for work. The November issue answers some of the questions. The writer of the article says: "In the first place, when a prospec tive employer asks your boy, 'What can you do ?' don't, under any circum stances, let him answer, 'Anything.' No employer wants a boy to do any thing; he wants an organization each member of which does something definitely and well. I.et me illustrate: "Two young men applied to me for positions on the same day. Both of them were well dressed, well educated and intelligent. The first one said. 'I am willing to do anything. I want to join your organization. Start me any where. and I'll find a plac* for my self." I liked his spirit; but I couldn't see how I would be justified in adding a penny to the payroll at the moment, and so I told him—in the old form ula—that I would take his name and address and let him know if anything turned up. "The second young man came In a wholly different fashion. Laying some papers on my desk, ho pointed out to me a certain trivial weakness in my organization, a certain spot where work was being done badly, which he had discovered from studying my business in his technical school. 'I can do that particular Job for you better than it is being done now,' he said, 'and I can save you monev on it.' "That young man got a Job." Newspapers Go Up St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 17. During the past week three metropolitan newspapers of the Middle West have announced an Increase in price from one to two cents. The papers are the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and Re public and the Milwaukee Free Press. The increased cost of newsprint and other materials of product is the rea son assigned for the advance in every instance. The announcement of the change In the Globe-Democrat read as follows: "The relentless law of supply and demand controls the cost of newspa per-making—Just as It controls the cost of shoe-making, needle-making or bridge-making. For several years past the cost of newsprint paper and other essentials of newspaper-making has been steadily increasing. And during the past eighteen months, be cause of the European war and other reasons, these costs have finally soar ed beyond the horizon of precedents. For these inexorable business reasons, the price of the Globe-Democrat will be two cents per copy daily.

I WE NEED REAL MAN-SIZED CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT J HORACE M'FARLAND, whose wide acquaintance with municipal problems makes his views worth while on any subject relating to city affairs, in an interview with a Tele graph representative to-day, made a strong appeal for an adequately equipped health department of Hai<- risburg. "Harrisburg needs a man-sized health department," he said. "Now that Council is beginning to act," he continued, "there is hope that the further spread of typhoid fever may be checked, and possibly entirely prevented. This does not, however, place us in possession of a well-organized, well-supported, vigi lant and capable working health de partment. "With the health of 75,000 people immediately resident in the city, added to which may properly be considered nearly 25,000 people within a radius of ten miles, Harrisburg now needs a man-size, fully equipped, working health department. We deserve and ought to have a full-paid, full-time health officer, properly supported to prevent disease, and provided with an equipment of officials and workers and materials to enable him to en force the law. "Surely we cannot expect to run Harrisburg in these days on a village sanitary equipment, and that is about all we have. "Surely, too, if we are to have any faith in the laws that are passed, they must be enforced. They are not now enforced. "For instance, the garbage collec tion of the city is in charge of the Health Department. I believe it is proper to say that at no time since the contract has been running has it been enforced for one single day. Ob jections to outrageous and unsanitary violations of the contract have been met with- a definite statement on the part of the health officers that the contractor could not afford to obey the law. If this is a proper defense, then I cannot see why I should pay for paving or do many other things that I am legally required to do, if I feel that I cannot afford to. "But in this case and in the case of the lax enforcement of taw which N, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR L —— J PROGRESSIVE WAM.OPS WILSON To the Editor of the Telegraph: Will you kindly allow mo space In your papi-r to express my opinion on the claims of the different Democratic papers, as to Progressives supporting the Democratic candidates, especially Wilson. It is undoubtedly true that in certain sections, mostly Eastern, some few Progressives have endorsed Wil son, but the real Progressive leaders, such men as Roosevelt, Johnston. Had ley, Gilford Pinchot, etc., have unquali fiedly endorsed Hughes and the entire Republican ticket. Administration newspapers seem to lay great stress on the fact that Amos Pinchot has endors ed Wilson. This is not startling news to Progressives. When Giltord Pinchot took up the Progressive cause, Amos did likewise. Amos seems to like to catch some of the rays of publicity cast on his Illustrious brother, GllTord, and, disagreeing with Gifford, brings Amos before the spotlight of publicity —mainly because he is Gifford's brother. There is every reason why Progressives should support Hughes, as against Wilson. Real Progressives do not stand for "pork barrel appropria tions." "favorite son johholdlng," "sec tional legislation," "dishrag diplomacy," or a meddlesome, muddlesome Mexican policy that amounts practically to war, yet which Wilson assures us is not war, because the Mexicans are at war with us. but we are not at war with them. If, as Wilson claims, it Is not war, then one cannot but wonder what war Is. Perhaps it Is because it Is not of the magnitude of the European struggle. I have an idea It would he rather hard to convince the dead and wound ed sailors and soldiers, both United States and Mexican, that it isn't war. The men that were forced to hide be hind buildings and doorsteps, in a hail of Mexican bullets at Vera Crux, surely did not think they were attending a "pink tea." The soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry, when ambushed and their com rades slain and captured in the interior of Mexico hardly thought it was just a playful act on the part of the Mexican army. The lonely sentry, walking his beat at night along the Rio Grande, Feering into the darkness for a lurking oe. expecting at any minute to have a bullet crash into his body from one of Villa's followers, does not feel as safe as though he was walking the streets of his native town or city. Emphatic ally the Progressive party is not in favor of tills brand of Wilson peace. It may be that Wilson's distinction of the word war vnr'es with the size of the enemy. Wl"i e small country, like Mexico or Havtl. h brandishes a big stick, and with a man's sized nation he brandishes <t pen. We are only "too proud to flgbt," when the fellow that mmmm rpri OCTOBER 21, 1916. has led to the indefensible typhoid epidemic now prevailing there is more than money involved. It ts probable that each typhoid fever case which hus occurred in Harrisburg during the present epidemic has caused in loss of time and in medical and other attention at least SIOO, in addition to the agony, daYiger and possible death involved. When official neglect and lax enforcement of law mean possible death in consequence, one is forced to the conclusion that either designed ly or carelessly the officials regard municipal murder as permissible. "There will at once be the wail on the part of those guilty and partly guilty that to have proper sanitary protection and to causo the enforce ment of law will cost money. That is true. Disease also costs money. If I am correct in estimating the average cost of a typhoid case at SIOO, then this disgraceful epidemic has cost our people more than $50,000. It is probable that protection through adequate provision and organization and enforcement could have been car ried through for not more than ten per cent, of this sum. "It would be hard to find a person in the city who would believe that it was "saving" money not to spend five or ten thousand dollars more on sani tation and law enforcement rather than to force the people to spend more than $50,000 in doctors' bills and funeral expenses by reason of the neglect to make the lower expendi ture. "Either the laws, ordinances and regulations relating to quarantine, milk and food inspection, garbage collection and other health matters ought to be entirely repealed or prop erly enforced. As It stands now, the citizens of Harrisburg are practically undefended against the onset of an epidemic of any disease which may creep in through official inadequacy, parsimony or neglect. "Let us have a man-size health de partment. properly supported. Let us have a full-paid, full-time health offi cer with knowledge, capability and courage. Then we can begin to be lieve that we have freed ourselves from the present dreadful implica tion of knowingly or carelessly per mitting municipal murder." wants to get us into an argument is bigger (ban we are. We can knock the spots off of a littlp country that cannot offer us a real fight. Progressives have at all tinips fought misrule, either nationally, or locally. As a former officer of the Washington party in Dauphin county, the writer is in a position to know the sentiment of the rank and file of the Progressive voters. I might imagine it would be hard to convince Vance McCormirk thnt flip Dauphin county Progressives will support a Democratic candidate The action of a few of the self-styled leaders of the Washington party, in placing McCormick on the Washington Party ticket was the start of the de cline of the Washington party in the State nf Pennsylvania. Progressives are nominally Republicans, and because the Republican party more nearly stands for their ideals than anv other party, will line up back of Hughes and the entire Republican ticket. At least this is the opinion the writer has form ed by coming into contact with a large number of former Washington party men in Dauphin county. (Signed) EX-WASH.
