MAKING WAR: CALLING IT PEACE WILSON sent our navy to Vera Cruz, where it shelled the city. where a landing party of ma rines and bluejackets went ashore and fought with the Mexicans. But he called it fieace. Wilson took possession of the Mex ican customs at Vera Cruz. He caused tliem to be administered by officers of the American army, who collected a million dollars of money belonging- to the Mexican people. That money is now in the Treasury at Washington, unaccounted for in any of Secretary McAdoo's fantastic Treasury state ments. This was an act, perhaps of piracy, perhaps of theft, perhaps of war. But he called it peace. Wilson sent Pershing's column upon the soil of a foreign country, under in structions to capture or disperse bodies of citizens of that country. Pershing's men were ambushed, fired upon, some of them killed. But he called it peace. Wilson sent naval forces to Haiti and to Santo Domingo and to Nica ragua—in one case to fight with and to kill the people of the country who were indulging in what he has re peatedly declared to be their own business; in another case to maintain a president in office whom the people of the country did not want, and in another to take over and to administer the purely Internal affairs of tlje country. But he called it peace. Wilson called out more than a hun dred thousand of the National Guard; lie sent them to the Mexican border; ho is spending more than $600,000 a day to keep them there. But he calls it peace. The ancient Roman historian, Taci tus, tells of how the peoples of whom he wrote ravaged the lands of their enemies, putting to death the inhabi tants and destroying their property. "They made a wilderness and they inllcd it peace," he exclaimed. Wilson makes war. But he c®.lls It peace. In the matter of the blocking of city highways by contractors, as for ex ample at the Federal Building, it ought not to be necessary for the public to lteep on complaining without results. It would seem to be the duty of some department of the city government to limit the use of the highways as pro vided in the building regulations? •It is love of country, not love of dollars, that will make America great. We want material advance ment. We want the greatest pros perity we can achieve, but it is a mistake to suppose that great de velopment and success can be ob tained if there are low and un worthy ideals which dominate ac tion. It Is the lofty, patriotic ideal that must beckon us on, and to which we must be faithful. We must have a driving power in this country, a power which engenders a dominant sense of unltv and a respect for the privileges of Ameri can citizenship.—Charles Evans Hughes. Burning words these, and burning words whose Are is not kindled for temporary effect. America needs a cer tain amount of stirmilation in the mat ter of patriotism. The same quality of red blood runs in our veins to-day that t ran out of the veins of our forefathers Ifhat we might prosper, and it behooves us In the midst of our war-fed pros perity to pause for a moment to con sider whether we are thinking so strongly of country as we did in the old days. Secretary of War Baker, before his appointment, called the officers of the United States army "a bunch of i,nobs." He has changed his mind. He has also changed his mind about the Continental soldiers. Kaleidoscopic mental gyra tions seem to be the order of the day. Dike boss, like employe. "Hughes is for America first; Wilson for Wilson first," Is the succlnt in which Colonel George A. Harvey, for merly a strong: Wilsonite, sums up the relative merits of the two candidates. "A vote for Wilson is a vote for Dan iels," he adds. And for other ineffici ent*. President Wilson, in his speech at Shadow Lawn, Saturday, spoke of the Republican party as "a body of men casting about for an issue." Flooded with thert, rather. The New York World evidently feels the prick of Remorse attendant upon the production of the fact that Joseph Pu litser nominated Hughes as a trustee of estate. The World says that It would not support Any of those trustees for the Presidency. This is not complimen-' tary to the gentlemen involved. Nor does It cover the further point that the TUESDAY EVENING, n 7 • BtARRISBTTRG TEIJEGRAPH] OCTOBER 31, 1916. \ World apoka of Hughea with ouch marked and merited approbation while he wna Governor of New York, whereas It now appllea to him unwarranted and abusive crltlctam.

RENTER, this Is for you: Pay no attention to those who tell you that if the new high school loan Is passed rents will have to be advanced. The property owner who says that Is ignorant of the facta or, more likely, he is trying to find an excuse for raising your rent after the loan goes through. But make no mistake about this— the high school loan will not be re sponsible for rent increases. If a property owner puts on another dollar a month it will be largely because he wants that dollar for himself. The schodl board does not believe it will be necessary to levy additional taxes next year, but granting that an other mill would be necessary there still would be no reason why owners should advance rents. A mill on the tax rate would amount to about nine cents a month on every thousand dol- lars of assessed valuation and many of the small houses are assessed no higher than that. This would mean a total for the year of SI.OB on the SI,OOO house which would certainly not justify the landlord in increasing rents from "$1 to $3 a month," as the author of an anonymous circular at tacking the loan asserts. And just a word to this, anony mous circular and its author. Al though the writer has made an effort to hide his identity, the school board has learned that he is a prosperous landlord who is living on the rentals from a large number of small houses occupied mostly by working men. This man, it is said, has neither kith nor kin. He is so situated that public schools mean nothing to him. What men of that kind want is the largest rental they can procure from the lit- tie houses they own. They care naught for public improvements. They plan and scheme to make their investments pay the largest possible returns. In 1902, when the first pub lic improvement loan was before the people, these little owners of many properties sensed that the people would adopt it. So, in order to feather their own nests at the expense of the renters, they went about pretending to be opposed to the loan, while in reality they M ould have been the most disappointed people in town had it failed. They were simply making ex cuses in advance for the additional money they hoped to wrest from those who occupied their houses. They knew what they were saying was not true, but for the sake of collecting a few dollars to which they had no just title they were willing to Jeopardize the whole public improvement plan. The same applies to the high school loan. Just as the loan for parks, play grounds, sanitary sewers, the flood control of Paxton creek that used to cause hundreds of deaths from dis ease among the poor people who lived along its banks, and for filtered water were all designed to benefit the great mass of the people, so is the high school loan of to-day. It is planned in order that all the boys and girls of Harrisburg—rich and poor alike shall have equal opportunities. Voters who listen to the croakers who predict higher rents are opposing their own best interests. Here Is a sure and certain way to trip up the unscrupulous landlord who resorts to such tactics. Find from him how much he intends to raise your rent if the loan passes. Then go to the school board offices And cut how much one mill of taxes will cost the owner. If the landlord is justified and you feel you can't afford to' pay the additional rent—vote against the loan. But if you discover that your land lord is simply trying to hold you up— which is what you will discover—go back and show him your figures. Af ter that you will not need to fear an advance in rent. Straw votes and Colonel Harvey, who has a reputation to maintain, all Indi cate the election of Hughes. Every im portant sign now points In the direc tion of a Bepublican victory and return to first principles. Vance McCormick says: "It looks like a landslide for Wilson." Two years ago he said it looked like a landslide for McCormick. Why all this talk about finding a substitute for gasoline. Old John Mor gan. of Wyoming, who walked 240 miles to visit his daughter, has found it. "Eve was a gay soubrette," says Vice- President Marshall. The Vice-President must have been attending burlesque shows. A Turkish official says the Turks tried to retain the confidence of Armenians— In the same way Carranzu tried to keep faith with Villa, we suppose. Don't blame the automobile when it goes over a bank—lt follows the direc tions of the man at the wheel. As the Fall advances the shadows lengthen on Shadow Lawn. There is no room for doubt as to the quality of Philander C. Knox's support of the working man of the United Stataa.

P 5 T>oiatc LK jj I, 'Pe.iutoijCtfCUua By the Ex-Committeeman Announcement of the tremendous enrollment of Republicans through out Pennsylvania as made yesterday by Secretary W. Harry Baker, of the Republican State committee, has started Republicans to work with re newed vigor all over the State in an effort to make the vote square up with fhe enrollment. It has caused a cor responding degree of despondency in the Democratic camp where efforts to explain the failure to enroll half a million was the chief business of the day. The marked difference between the headquarters of the two parties tells its own story In this campaign. The Republican State headquarters in Philadelphia is a scene of bustle and hustle and every county is in touch with the State chairman, while State candidates are addressing nightly meetings and county meetings are be ing held in every county as they are in Dauphin. The Democratic wind mill in this city is one of the most dismal pluces one could get into and as for meetings and other campaign moves that show n live committee i there is nothing doing. —The Republicans began the last week of the campaign with a series of notable meetings, especially in Pottsville, Philadelphia and Pitts burgh. To-morrow the State candi dates will be in Lancaster. To-night some of them will be in Juniata and adjoining counties with a meeting in Mlffllntown. —John Wanamaker, who is taking a big hand in the Republican cam paign is out with a statement in which he urges the election of Hughes. —Governor Brumbaugh is to speak five times at Republican rallies in Philadelphia the latter part of the week. —The success of Pennsylvania day in New York was not relished at the Democratic State headquarters here. —Friends of Alderman George D. Herbert Democratic candidate for senator in this county, are wondering when his turn is going to come as the exponent of Democracy. Up to date the Democratic candidate is about twelve parasangs behind the Yates candidacy in morning publicity. —Chester will vote on a half million dollar school loan next Tuesday. —Dean Lewis' declarations in favor of Hughes are not getting as much attention from certain morning news papers as utterances of the dean did in 1914. However, this is a Demo cratic year except when it comes to booming some Democratic candidates who were nominated by the people's will and not with certain bosses' con sent. „ —William Plinn has made a series of speeches in Pittsburgh which have attracted national attention 'because of his contention that President Wil son nearly got us into war and that what reforms were enacted were the result of a tide he had to go along with. Congressman B. K. Focht's claim that Democratic Fulton county may slip its moorings is being much dis cussed in his district. The Democratic windmill missed two laps yesterday ".® ca " sc of the Perturbation over the situation in that county. James Watts Mercur, former progressive leader in Delaware is out making speeches for Hughes. — L ate estimates are that John M Rose will defeat Bryan's pacific friend Congressman Warren Worth Bailev by about 5,000. R - Catlin,' of the Wilkes-Barre district, who is a holdover senator and who will have to vote on confirmation of some of the State officials, is understood to have signified much displeasure at Secre tary Patton's removal of Pure Food Inspector M. J. Walsh to make room for a Brumbaugh delegate's business partner, that the secretary is uncer tain about future action. Senator Catlln has not many appointments in the State service and is rather inclined to stand by Walsh through thick and thin. —Reports from Erie county are to the effect that Senator Henry A. Clark will be elected to Congress by quite a substantial majority. The senator has been making a lively can vass of his own. —The Incoming county court has been asked to dismiss the suit to test the citizenship of Mayor Jonas Fisch er, of Williamsport, on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction. The Fayette county campaign Is said to he one of the greatest wased in that county by the republi cans. —ln many counties the Republican meetings will be suspended to-night because of Hallowe'en celebrations Even Pittsburgh will loosen up a bit! —The Prohibition national candi dates received a great reception in the Schuylkill valley last night. They will arrive here to-morrow and speak in the courthouse on the prohibition issue, which Ex-Governor Hanly says is bound to come after the war.

PIFFLE By \YIIIK ningrer The thing that I should think would get Most of the voters sore Is the Democratic slogan that "Ho kept us out of war." "Tis true he sent a gunboat down To Vera Cruz to make The Mexicans salute the flag— They laughed, and lives did take. A few lives short, the boat came back, Things, as they were before He sent the boat, continued, but ' He kept us out of war." American men. women, too. And children, by the score.

In manner treacherous they killed Some sixty troops or more— > He wrote a note, called back the troops And "kept us out of war" Americans were drowned at sea, When torpedoes did bore Into the ships—he wrote some notes And "kept us out of^ivar."

RECENT RECORD AT WASHINGTON PRESIDENT WILSON began his administration by surrounding himself with incompetents. Men were selected for Cabinet positions for political reasons and to pay pre-elec tion bargains, although they were ad mittedly upfit for the national respon sibilities imposed. t American lives and national honor on land and sea have been unpro ; tected. He has destroyed a world tradition in diplomacy that America means what it sa>s. He has alienated from America the good will of most of the nations of Europe. He has dealt insincerely with for eign questions and has failed to settle finally a single one. He has waged war in Mexico in a manner that has stamped our people as cowards in the minds of the Mexi cans. He demanded a salute to our nag and didn't get it: he went after Villa and didn't get him. He has allowed Mexican bandits to obtain A'merlcan arms with which they sacked our towns, killed our soldiers and murdered our citizens. He has not kept up out of war, but tjOur Library TabljvL W hat's the Matter With Mexico? by j Caspar Whitney. (M"acmillan, New ; York, 50 cents.)

Wholly without political purpose and from an unbiased viewpoint the author throws the spotlight of pub licity on the insincerity and impossi bility of the administration's course in Mexico.

For Wilson, 651. This is the result of a nonpartisan poll of Princeton alumni taken by a com mittee of graduates from that Univer sity under the auspices of the Hughes National College League. The poll reveals this year: Whereas 57 is the total Taft and Roosevelt vote which is going to Wilson. Equally significant is the fact that 360 me?- who voted for Roosevelt in 1912 are going to vote for Hughes and only 37 for Wil son. In other words, over 90 per cent, of the Progressive vote Is going to Hughes. Our Daily Laugh, J ALL RULES SHAVE EXCEP TIONS.

Middletown Ferry has quite iW: interesting history. The ford or ferr£ which came in time to utilize tho fort* was established in the minds of white men as a convenient point of crossln# the Susquehanna buck in the days <ri William Penn and one of the why Middletown .came to be laid oii was that it was presumed for years to be the head of Surfquehanna navigation and by the ford or ferry to offer easf facilities to the south. However, John Harris, who had picked out the forrt which later became Harris Ferry about 200 years ago, perceived the great value of the junction of the Lebanou and Cumberland valleys and as he hud* Influential connections in Philadelphia and about Easton traffic was diverted to this point because of superior trans portation advantages over Middle town ferry. Middletown Ferry was operated for almost 150 years after that. Harrlsburg got bridges but Mid dletown did not because it did not se cure the trattic which poured through Harrlsburg, notably up and down the Cumberland valley travel. For many years York countians wishing to go to Middletown left tho train at the ferry and came over to this side and lower Dauphin people never bothered to come to Harrlsburg when they wanted to go to York or Baltimore because they took the ferry from Middletown and landed at the historic landing place which tradition says was used by French traders before 100. A steam ferry succeeded the old flats about twenty years ago, but a few years back it was given up by its owner be cause the traffic did not pay*. Now the railroad ip going to relegate Middletown Ferry to the list of byg>one stopping places, although recently, as is said, it has not even hesitated there except on ••flag." Col. deo. Van Horn Moseley, of tho United States arniy, who Is chief of staff to General Clement, in discuss in criticisms of the Seventh or Penn sylvania division, said in El Paso that the publicity attendant upon the call for the efficiency board had had a bad eitect upon the country at large. "One reads and gets the impression that the entire division is in a state of revolt," he said. "This is not true. The real situation is similar to that under which an aged sergeant in the regular army was reprimanded. Th,e inspecting officer mentioned in his offi cial report that the sergeant had had a grease spot on his blouse during the inspection. The sergeant's captain, who knew the rugged old fighter for the man that he was said: " 'Yes, it Is true he has a grease spot on his blouse, but he has live service bars on his chest.' "The point being," Colonel Moseley laughed, "that while the deficiencies of the Pennsylvania division have been pointed out to our discredit, none of the good things is emphasized to our credit." Colonel Frank K. Patterson, who re tired a few days ago from National Guard service with the rank of Briga dier General, leaves but three veterans of the Civil war in high office in tha National Q,uard of Pennsylvania, in deed in the whole feuard.

Ho has been in the guard for forty-six years and for twenty connected with the ordnance or small arms practice Inspection. His retirement leaves Ad jutant General Stewart, Surgeon Gen eral Weaver and Commissary General Haldeman the three Civil war veter ans on the staff. • • • The thefts of cash only which have marked the depredations of thieves at residences in many parta of Harrisburg appear to have broken out at Wllkes-Barrc as newspapers in that city remark upon wholesale raids by housebreakers who have sought money and allowed silver ware and other article* which might be traced, severely alone. The same condition has been noted in other cities. * * * Speaking of thefts an interesting story is told by a man prominent in affairs at Capitol Hill. His house was robbed of an interchangeable mileage ticket back in June when, as we un derstand, the robberies began. He promptly gave notice to the railroad and the auditing bureau which checks up on interchangeable mileage. In due season he was notified that a man had ridden on his stolen mileage from Harrisburg to Lancaster. He reported it and the local bailiffs promised to watch. In another fortnight he was officially informed that a man had ridden on the stolen mileage from Harrisburg to Sunbury. Once more he reported. Once more the hounos of the law were unleashed. Then he heard of more riding on the mileage and he asked the railroad company to please arrest the man caught with the book. The answer he got was that under the contract he should have prevented the book from being ridden upon by another man by preventing it from being stolen. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE ] —Bishop Garland officiated on Sun day at Philadelphia when the corner stone of the Thomas Memorial Church was laid. —A.
