THE WIIJSON POSTSCIUIT PESIDENT WILSON has not de nied the charge of Senator Lodge that he added a post script to his I-.usita.nia note informing KJrmarvy not to take "too seriously" his aotiflcation that the imperial govern ment would be held to "strict oocount l ShlUty" for the murder of American men, women and children, and thai the administration was willing to let •he whole controversy go over until lafter the war for settlement. Until le does do so it is fair to assume thai the Lodge charge is true. This is by far the most serious ac ißUsation that tha President has been Iflglled upon to lfcice. Senator Lodge, in brief, asserts that the President was ■■ferlting his notes merely to keep down rising anger of the American peo- W W*l to cajole them loto the belief that r tui was looking after their Interests " sad defending their rights, while in ho was entering into a secret jandcrstxuidlns with the Germane jwheofehy they would know that he [would do nothing in retaliation, no ■mftffr to what lengths they might go' srith their outrageous warfare, j If this bo true, and there appears Jewery reason to believe it is true, the stands convicted of unfit ness ior the Presidency—almost, ln ■eed. of unfitness for American citi sonsiup. Xo wonder Garrison and Ijano threatened to leave tlie cabinet l it such a postscript were allowed to Stand. The wonder is that aay of the kohlcet member* could be persuaded |U> remain under such disgraceful con lOHiens. Picture it! Bryan and "Wilson, in [public loudly defending American Sights, and behind tlie door of diplo matic gecrecy whispering to European Statesmen not to take their words "too Seriously," that they really didn't mean what they B*l4. that they had to talk that wajr merely to hold their Jobs. Bee them throw their kid gloves in the Xace ct the European destroyer and stooping to kiss the mailed fist that would have picked up the challenge. Fine subject for a historical painting for the While House! And who knows whether the cab inet having stopped the postscript in written form, that Its has not been gent forward by the spoken word, af ter the manner of Secretary Bryan's tint to Dr. Dujnba that Washington did not really mea,a what It had said along similar lines in a previous con troversy. Senator Franklin Martin's friends have no doubt of hi* triumphant re election in the Cumberland district, which also embraces Perry, Juniata and Mifflin counties. He has the confidence of his constituents of all parties, and pot withstanding the personal efforts of the National Democratic Chairman to defeat hUn, because of his refusal to kowtow to the gforesaid chairman, Senator Martin will continue to repre sent the district with credit to himself snd his constltutents, OIR POLICE FORCE V~\UINCY BENT, as the head of the XQJ Steelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company, la properly in terested ill the preservation of order mid the protection of life and property f the citizens of the expanding Indus trial borough. His conference with Chief of Police WeUel on the subject Indicates his desire to co-operate with Jthe police department. It is obvious, however, that In view Of the Indifferent character of the police organization Jn some respects it Is going to be difficult to persuade s. long-suffering community that there (should be any considerable Increase of the police force. It will not be denied for a moment that there is jieed of additional officers, but when the community Is confronted with the record of the last year or two it <s not surprising that there is more ©r less opposition to a larger force tinder present conditions.

Friction has existed between the detective "bureau'* and the main force for months. This situation is an open secret and it la manifest that there must be aome general shake-up of the whole department Before material improvement can be expected. As we enter upon the last week of the political campaign it becomes more evident that the voters of the United States are considering their duty in the most thoughtful and serious manner. There Is leas of the hullabaloo and fan faronade than in may campaign for many years, but It doesn't follow that the people are not thinking, and think ing along right lines. They have had enough of the Wilson folly. , THE POOR BOY'S COLLEGE THE public high school Is the poor boy's college. It was designed especially the benefit of the boy—or girl—who cannot afford, fer one reason or another, the expenses or time of a four years' college course. The man of means can, and frequently does, ser.d his son to private school for preparation and afterward to col lege. The man of small salary for the most part cannot do this. He must rely on the public school. If It be good, his boy gets the chance to which he is entitled. If It be badly equipped and lacking In effleieney, the poor boy Is cheated of opportunities j for self-Improvement that rightly be long to him. That Is precisely what Harrisburg has been doing for tlie past four or five years, and what It is doing now— cheating poor boys and girls of educa tional advantages. This is not a nice thing to say, but it is true, and we as a voting body ought to be ashamed of ourselves- We have given the students of the Cen tral High School one session where they should have had two. We have sacrificed them to a mill or two on the tax rate. That they have not suf fered more Is due entirely to the heroic efforts of an overworked but devoted teaching force that cannot keep up forever the double duties It Is now performing. No teacher, how ever conscientious, can do two days' work in one and perform both -well. And now we face either the passage of a new High School loan or the sacrifice of the Technical High School, as well as the Central school, for next Spring, unless facilities are Increased, the overcrowding process will begin in that Institution. This Is, in reality, a poor man's loan. The rank and file of the people, those to whom the high school is of vital importance, will receive the bulk of the benefits, while the bulk of the ex pense must fall upon the shoulders of the big property owner. There Is not a more cosmopolitan or democratic Institution in the land than the high school. There rich and poor, foreign and native-born, sit side by side and learn the great lesson of Americanism that Individual worth Is the only sure means of advance ment and that wealth and position count for little against brain and brawn and the will to do. There poor boys learn that rich boys may be good or bad, bright or stupid, strong or weak, and there rich boys learn that the "rank la but the guinea stamp" and that "a man's a man for a' that,** It is the rich boy's prepara tory school and the poor boy's college. It should be made just as good as we can make It, Where the education of our boys and girls Is concerned the best is none too good. The public will be glad to know that Commissioner Groca has decided to go ahead with the raprapping of the river slope to prevent damage by the winter floods, and notwithstanding the lata start on this necessary operation, there is still sufficient time, with energetic action, working the forces at different points, to complete the job before the veal winter is upon us. Good for Superintendent rtainbo! Those bulbs along the Capitol Park walks will make of the park next Spring a place of beauty and a joy for ever. For years the display in front of the Capitol has been remarkably beau tiful. and manifestly the Commonwealth has determined to co-operate with the city in making this the "flower Qlty of Pennsylvania." George B. Hotchkiss told a body of students, the other day, that "the baby cries in order to advertise himself," be lievers in "pitiless publicity." no to speak. To our own personal knowledge, Washington has announced that "the situation in Mexico Is serious" 291 times since last year this time, so that by now it must be pretty nearly chronic.

The campaign is to be closed with a dozen or more big meet ings, one of which is to be held in Philadelphia at which Philander C. Knox. Governor Brumbaugh, William Draper Lewi3 and Congressman George S. Graham will speak. Republican State Chairman Crow, en couraged by the reports which are be ing received and by the big registra tion, is planning to make tlie close of the campaign notable. The Democra tic claim agents have pretty nearly gone out of business and the predic tions about Democratic congressmen and legislators are about as empty as those of carrying the State for Wil son. The general reports about Wilson night In Pennsylvania on Saturday were to the effect that only the dyed in-the-woolfellowsturncd out and that there were slim meetings in some Democratic centers. —Philander C.

The plneH of Pennsylvania- Last remnant of that host Which once encamped in millions And now Is all but lost!- Still faithful to their duty. They stand to guard this gold, All green and seeming youthful While other trees look old. 1 A thousand color splotches. From saffron, pale, to brown—■ It looks as if the Master Had set his palette down To rest against each hillside— A thousand tongues of flame, Are silently intoning The glory of His name! Thes are His towering captains, Dying as heroes die, Clad in the flush of courage; Standing against the sky Shouting to us, who falter And slip in paths of fear— "Why should we not go grandly, Springtime will soon be here!"

It is a phenomenon of great underlying strength in the Russian character, somewhere. The sale of vodka was a government monoply. The Government simply stopped selling ft, at first as a temporary measure during the mobilization, later as an economic measure for the duration of tho war. The Russians themselves in talking about it, say that the average Russian was the hardest drinker In the world. It Is hard to believe that, because the typical Russian has too fine a physique to have been a drunkard, but it Is un deniable that vodka was consumed In a large amount. The Russian appears to have been ordinarily abstemious, but on holidays he drank hard, as eur eow hoy or lumber-Jacks used to do on S time of spree. The feeling throughout Russia toward vodka now is hard for an outsider to understand. To-day Rus sia in city and country Is unanimous against a return of M uplla sale. Through all classes, the change brought about by the suppression Is seen and so thorougly appreciated that it is said that serious opposition would come If the Government should order the sale renewed. The economic effect of the measure is bo pronounced one can say without hesitation that between Its In fluence and that of the enforced genera! LETTERS TO THE, EDITOR THE IKJI'B (If THIS CAMPAIGN To the Editor of the Telegrapli: Samuel Blythe in a recent articls fn one of the leading: weekly magazine* says that the issue of this campaign, ao far as the average voter li concern ed, ia not the Mexican question, the diplomatic relations with the belliger ent nations, the domestio affairs with Its eight-hour law. etc., but the group ing of all of these and the many other Issues under the one heading, to wit: the problems Incident to the manage ment of this nation as President and which any one holding the high office 6f President should be expected to be called upon to solve and to solve cor rectly to the everlasting benefit of this nation as a nation. That if the voter 1b thoroughly convinced that the af fairs of the nation liave been managed properly and as well as they could possibly be managed that voter will cant his vote in favor of retaining the present executive head of the great corporation of which he Is an Import ant part, bocause to change that head merely for the sake of permitting an other to take 14a place would be poor business, but If he l convinced that the management Is not proper and that it could and should be conducted differ ently ha will go to the polls and vote for a change. This being the Issue, and, after all Is said and done. It Is not the real Issue of this campaign, let us briefly con sider whether or not the present man agement lias been to the everlasting benefit of this nation. To withhold criticism as unpatriotic Is to shirk duty. Of course, criticism must be Just. It must consider the Administration us a whole. As an individual Wobdrow Wilson may or tnay not be responsible for his friends, but as President he Is responsible for the official acts of every member of his cabinet and of every man whom he places In a position of power. The present Administration's strongest supporters admit that Its policy toward Mexico has not been a success. Certainly 11 can be Justly zald that no definite or consistent policy has been followed. If the Administration has taken a positive and affirmative stand we would have had the confidence of our friends and the respect of tho world. A consistent policy carried out with firmness, sincerity and integ rity would have led to a real solution of a difficult and delicate situation. Wilson's policy In Mexico and tn his diplomatic relations with ths great powers at war has spread the belief throughout tho* world that American protection does not follow American citizens or their property beyond our borders. It has placed us In a position where our advice will neither be sought nor wanted in tho councils of the na tions, The cost of this lorfs of prestige must be reckoned at every point where our national existence comes In con tact with that of other peoples of the world. Without Internationa! respect we can not trade, travel or live except unto ourselves. Of the Adamsou eight hour law permit me to quote Colonel Harvey, the discoverer of Woodrow Wilson; "Since Fort Sumter was fired upon there has been no such assault upon the right of American people to rula themselvss as that of the four increase of the efficiency In Rusiilan In dustry everywhere, the war will leave Russia positively and Immediately rich er and In a stronger economic position than before. The war lias contributed to Russia's forward Impulse. Certain Reform* Still JicMirr We must not overestimate the rapid ity of this Russian advance. For sev eral years the Empire has been pro gressing in important political readjust ments that are necessary for Industrial progress. There is more to be done and a part of the energy of the Rus sian advance must be utilized In this. T do not refer to any change In form of Russia's general government but to the reforms being effected In the position of the Russian peasantry In relation to property and law. The peasantry Is eight-tenths of the Russian people These people have not full freedom in owning and alienating property. They are to a large extent still bound to the communal system of land tenure and production and Russian peasants are not at full liberty to leave their com munes and seek other fortunes without loss of their communal property inter ests. While tills remains the case there wilt be a handicap to industrial organ ization. and stimulous of individualism will not be present. As said before, the readjustment of these conditions will take time and will .absorb some of the energy that would otherwise go Into Industrial growth.—Samuel M. Roberts, Vice-President, National Bank of New York. brotherhoods at Washington In August of the present year," and every voter knows the position the President took in this matter. No one likes the idea of having" Dan iels head our navy, 85 per cent, of the Democrats do not like It either, and this is not the only weakness of the cabinet as has been quite clearly dem onstrated within the last few days, not t" speak of the numerous other ex hibitions. No one carea to vote for the Wilson brand of national economy. Too often the interests of some "de serving Democrats" have been placed ahead of the country's Interests. No one cares to see millions spent In pre paring: the Filipinos for self-govern ment and then turn the babe loose in its swaddling clothes. Every man has ft right to change his mind but a wise man rarely does unless conditions change and the Presidential chair is no place to get an education. Each citizen should be able to rely on a President's stated purpose for the con duct of his business and the pursuits of his life. He should be a leader of thought, not a mere follower. Mr. Wil son himself will not deny that he has changed his mind on the questions of civil service, a single tarm, canal tolls, protection, support of Villa, prepared ness, free sugar—ln fact on almost every Important subject which has been before him. One could go on at great length, but la It necessary? Has It not been clear ly demonstrated time and time again within the last three years that there is but one thing the voter muat do with this great issue? The answer clearly Is, vote for a change of executive heads of this great corporation. And now as to America's future The prospect calls for a leader: for a man with a national and international mind, not a man of the political school which believes in decentralisation of govern ment and considers all government a ne cessary evil; a man of action not a man of words; a nyn with a great heart and broad human sympathies who will not seclude himself, nor consult with ill chosen advisers, but who will surround himself with the most capable men this country has produced, and who, while taking counsel with them, will lead the thought and action of the nation for a new America In u new world.

The coal trade, which appears to have been smitten with the same rising tendency as other busi ness, is declared by railroad men and manufacturers to be really more ser iious than a good many people im agine and there is a possibility that some of the war-born prosperity may be hampered materially during the w inter because the car situation la * always worse in the cold weather than at any other time. It is worth while to stand on the Mulberry street bridge, for instance, and note the manner in which the Pennsylvania and Reading rush long trains of coal through Harrisburg and the tremen dous size of the trains of empty cars being returned. In fact, the empty cars are In as much demand as those which are filled with the bituminous coal which is the very base of Ameri can industry. The Reading's traffic comes from West Virginia and the Oonncllsvllle regions mostly, while the Pennsylvania is drawn over u, verv wide area. A visit to Enola will give an idea of the way in which the Pennsylvania separates its hard and soft coal traffic because the Enola yards handle most of the traffic from the bituminous region while the Northern Central brings down tho 'back diamonds." There is compe tition in all trades but the general belief of manufacturers is that the coal trade has them all beat. Many plants have long and favorable con tracts, but that does not prevent sorno enterprising gentlemen from doing business with that mysterious com modity known as "spot" coal, which may be consigned to any one, be sud denly stored and next sent in a totally different direction. And then, too, there is always danger of the rail roads commandeering coal for their needs. So that the manufacturer and the coal agent have their own troubles these days, although the coal men say that the railroad people know that some times manufacturers take coal cars and after flooring them pile in their own products and ship them while blaming the coal men for tho delay in fuel and the railroads for shortage of cars, # • "I don't think you Harrisburg people realize what an important manufacturing center your city has become," said a travelingman in the corridor of the Commonwealth on Saturday evening. "I have been going through middle western States and as I know something about the tobacco trade, because it is not far away from my own line, I have been noting the brands of cigars. I have picked out about a dozen that are made in Harrisburg. You people do not even know the names of the brands. Some are sold here. It strikes me that it would help your town, and the manufacturer who pays wages here as well, if once in a while you would boost brands made in your town. Steelton steel and Harrisburg shoos and Elliott-Fisher book type writers all tell of your community. vY hy not your cigars made here by tlio million?" • • • The manner in which contractors are taking advantage of the line weather which now prevails and the activity displayed on all building op erations is worth while noting.
