' THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 25 There are two reasons xchy some people don't mind their own business; One is that they haven't any mind, the other that they haven't any business. —Harvard Lampoon. "PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY" PRESIDENT WILSON has a posi tive genius for coining phrases that come back to haunt him. "Peace without victory" is his latest, and the New York World takes great pains to explain that the President did not mean that literally; what he did intend to say, according to the World, was peace with just considcr • ation of the claims of the vanquished. The World does not quote its au thority, but granting that it speaks the mind of the President, the country may be excused for resenting such careless use of language on the part of an executive whose proudest boast has been his ability to express himself in telligently and forcefully in the writ ten word. If the President meant ■what the World says he did why, one niay bo permitted to ask, did 110 not t>ay it? As forecast in these columns, the warring nations are bent upon inter preting the speech each to meet Its own especial views and their leaders are not above using it as an instru ment with which to strengthen their positions with their own peoples. That being apparent, the President should have been most careful in the selection of his words and no room for double meaning should have been left. Obscure passages should have no place in the diplomatic documents and communications of the United States, noted as this government has been for its openness and frankness. "Schwab cuts melon," says a news paper dispatch, and we bet he's saving all the seeds. STILL DODGING SUFFRAGISTS find it harder than ever to get satisfactory re sponses from Mr. Wilson. His heart is in the cause, he says; but he stays his hand because he is the lead er of a party. This is just as he used to talk —and act. He was a party leader last June, when his party was renominating him in defiance of its old platform and was drawing a new platform at his behest. He took no pains then to have the suffrage plank so worded that his hand would be free to follow his heart; and the probability is that he purposely held to vagueness so that he could meet the exigency of to-day and of any other day when eager suf fragists would wait upon him. A counterfeiters' den at Speeceville ought to give the natives up there (something to gossip about these long Winter evenings. REWARD FOR THE FAITHFUL JTTMIE resignation of Chairman Hur jJ. ley of the Federal Trade Com mission is taken to mean the promotion of Commissioner Harris to the head of the board. Mr. Harris hails from Georgia, where he used to be in the insurance business. He ■was once chairman of the Democratic State committee down there, and he was for a time director of the census —at the same time trying to get him self elected Governor of Georgia. He would now like to be a senator from that State. We have no doubt that Mr. Harris is a good politician, but as an executive, either in the Census Bu reau or in the Trade Commission, he has displayed no burning genius. AMASSING MONEY NO matter how small your wages .or your pay. there is always the possibility of amassing a fortune if you are willing to sacrifice the pres ent for the future and are wise enough to invest your savings profitably. The hardest and most persistent worker in tlje world is the dollar, but its efforts must be properly directed. The dollar knows no eight-hour day. Sunshine and night-time are all the same to it. The well-invested dollar never grows old. is never tired, and the harder it Sq worked the more valuable It be comes. All the other Inventions of man go eventually to the scrap heap, lout the dollar that is kept constantly at work in profitable business or other investment never needs any new bear ings, its tires are milled and puncture proof and It never gets into the "used ear" class; It is the sole device of human kind that Improves with age feind against which no depreciation Charges need be made. The other day Henry Torborg died his home in Chicago leaving a for tune of a half-million dollars, most of THURSDAY EVENING, it accumulated during the past forty years as street car driver and motor man. He was aged 73 and died while at work. Yesterday Martin L. Henry, a New York letter carrier, killed himself after having seriously injured his brain by a fall on the ice, leaving an estate of nearly $300,000, all saved and made during his occupation as letter carrier at a salary never exceeding $1,200 a year. Torborg went to Chicago a young man and saved a hundred dollars from his pay as street car driver. He in vested wisely in real estate. He kept on saving and kept on investing until he reached the half-million mark. Maybe he carried his passion for money accumulation to an extreme. Perhaps he didn't get anything out of life but money. Doubtless the same may be said of the New York mail carrier. But, just the same, they illus trate the point that it is not always the big salary that leads to riches. Many men are prosperous on $1,200 a year and others are on the verge of bankruptcy who receive SIO,OOO. "Good spenders may be good fel lows," Torborg used to tell his friends, "but a bank account needs no friends." Others of his sayings were: "Never pay for having work done that you can do yourself;" "Make your vacations pile up your dividends," and "That man who stops work is like the idle mill: he falls to pieces." If you want money, you can get it, no matter how you are situated; only you must pay the price. But remem ber, there is more to life than gold, and fortune does not bring happiness. Probably the happiest men on earth, other things being equal, are those who are congenially employed, who are living a little below their income and who feel secure against approach ing old ago. A FIELD FOR EDUCATION A CORRESPONDENT of the New York World suggests that it would be far better to take the money proposed for public buildings in the Southern States and spend it for schools in the same communities. He points out that in the five States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with a combined population live times as great as that of Minnesota, the total amount of school money raised each year is only $18,000,000, whereas Min nesota raises $19,000,0^0. Federal aid to the public schools is no new idea. Henry W. Blair, while a senator from New Hampshire, more than twenty-five years ago, tried to in terest Congress in this subject. His bill was repeatedly passed intheSenate and was as often rejected or never acted upon by the House. Finally the Senate voted against it, also, and the project died. Mr. Blair was ahead of his times. Tn those days the paternalistic idea of dependence upon the Federal govern ment for everything had not been de veloped as it now is. In those days there were States' rights, with their defenders, and States' freedom. Un der the latter head, the States of the South have felt at liberty to neglect the education of their children to an abominable degree, as the writer in the New York World points out. JAPAN AND THE U. S. THE prevalence of wars and ru mors of wars, together with the frequent snatches of reports which come to us that the American Navy shortly again will bo the second largest in the world, and the unfor tunate misunderstandings which have spread over the country concerning strained relations between this coun try and Japan; all these elements combine to engage the timorous and the uninformed in the unhappy pro cess of concluding that war between the United States and Japan is in evitable. Public Service Commissioner Ainey, in a recent address before the Uni versity Club of Harrisburg, took a fall out of those newspapers and indi viduals who are constantly harping on the possibility of war with our brothers of the Far East. Mr. Ainey's experience as a member of the Inter national Parliamentary Union, or ganization which unofficially endeavors to create and maintain harmony among nations, qualifies him to speak With authority and from personal ac quaintance with leading citizens and government officials in Tokio. He be lieves that the American attitude of suspicion and uncertainty toward the Japanese people, following upon the heels of discriminatory legislation in California that had no reasonable basis of fact to prompt it, will, if allowed to continue, tend to create be tween the two nations the very strain ed relations which all want to avoid. It is very probable that Americans as Individuals are not properly in formed as to the Japanese attitude toward this country; it is very prob able that they are sufficiently inter ested in the advancement of their own welfare to keep their surplus popula tion at home; it is very conceivable they they are anxious merely to main tain on their side of the ocean the prestige which we enjoy on our side, and that a Monroe Doctrine for Japan is all they want; self-interest based on a proper appreciation of and respect for the rights and privileges of other nations is not unlike the American international policy as conceived and expressed by President Monroe, if ail this bo so, aiifi Japan does not have any ambitions on this side of the globe, it would be well for sensation mon gers to stir up the believing only when they have authority for their state ments and for this country, through its speakers and writers, to guard its utterances to the end that a situation be not created that may generate mu tual mistrust and dissatisfaction be tween two powerful nations. ' The discussion which Commissioner Ainey's analysis of the Japanese situa tion aroused among the members of the University Club who heard his address in their club rooms the other evening is indicative of the possibili ties which the club holds for profitable and helpful meetings on matters that are of vital importance in the world. The university man, above all else, is WT IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING -> Byßriggs I 1 ' ' T || After Yoo ve opencd -amd learned from -And te*r open the AM ENVELOPE AND FOUND A SECOND PIECE OP "THIRD "TO FIND THAT A BILL FOR WORTH MAIL THAT* YOU OWB "THE FOR ELECTRICITY* OF COAL - . #-37.50 FOR GROCERIES RAI(vJ uP To 7 g This month AND Then You haltingly "AnD ThEIsI With Your AIKJ'T IT OPeu A fourth to discover Faith in the nbvaj Ye* awd HS uTo B SET™ 1 WOULD LIKE *t+lO. to , y ouß LAUNDRY HAS RECEIVED \JV.vr> Jt A YOUR.

Used to be you could tell a farmer because he didn't look quite as pros perous as town folks. Now you can tell him because every time he comes to town he looks like a millionaire among a lot of pikers. A. Bonar Law says the German mili tary machine "must be smashed." Now all that remains to do is to smash it. "Peace without prosperity" is the headline in a local Democratic organ. Such frankness ij! worthy of a better cause. There is a growing suspicion that the President's latest speech will not be used as an excuse for conferring up on him the Nobel peace prize. The annual controversy between the Weather Man and the Ground Hog will soon crowd the war news oft the first page. n— — -■ - •— — fcUtic* U ""PtKKQuttfCUua By the Ex-Oommltteemaa Democratic members of the legis lature seem to hold an important stra tegic position in the proposed investi gation of the State government and according to newspaper comment the Governor's friends are looking to the minority members to insist upon a widening of the probe. The first light will be made in the Senate on Monday night, when an attempt will be started to amend the Sproul resolution, ,and if it falls the administration forces will exert pressure to defeat it in the upper house. If that fails, the fight will be transferred to the floor of the House. That the State administration will fight the resolution in its present shape to the last ditch is a foregone con clusion. The Philadelphia North American, which reflects the administration view in pretty much everything nowadays, says that the Governor has "inspired criticism" of the resolution in its pres ent form and that objections wore made by".administration spokesmen, who were joined by Democrats in a riddling lire of criticism against the tactics of Senator Penrose in the tight." The North American does not say who the spokesmen or Democrats were and does not quote anybody. The Philadelphia Bulletin says Penrose will have trouble lining up men to make a drastic probe, and the Philadelphia Inquirer says there will be a fight, a view In which the Pittsburgh Dispatch joins. The Philadelphia Ledger de mands an inquiry and says that the administration is working to get new angles of attack on the resolution. It quotes Senator Penrose ns saying that he looks far quick action, together with some caustic comments upon the Governor's expense accounts. —The Democratic Philadelphia Rec ord rather intimates that the Demo crats will not rush to the aid of the embarrassed State administration and that the "wish" Inspired the thought that the Democrats would put in a new resolution of investigation. The Kecord says in its summary: "The true significance of the plight con fronting the Governor and members of his official family was not realized by the political coalitions allied with the Governor until Tuesday, when de cisive action on tho Sproul resolution was taken In the Senate appropriations committee. Up to that time the Gov emor' 1 * allies had labored under the supposition that Senator Penrose was 'bluffing' in his threats of an Investi gation." —Postmaster appointments an nounced yesterday will not make things any easier among the fighting Democracy of Pennsylvania. In Shenandoah the selection of John J. Couglilln for the job after four years of bickering: will start moro trouble. Coughlin was superintendent of the borough water works and Is a friend of Marshal l'\ J. Noonan. The ap pointment of Margaret B. Berneker as postmistress of Camp Hill will also start something among Cumberland Democrats. , —lt is understood that tho Anti- Saloon League leaders are not inclined HARRISBURG TEUEGRXPH to view the proposed Ross amendment to the local option bill to make it a state-wide affair with much favor.

Altoona and New Castle have had the same experiences. In Wilkes-Barre it is charged that the city is governed in the interest of families and that councilmen are In terested in deals. —Mayor Smith has started out to get information as to the necessity for many matters connected with the pro posed Improvements in Philadelphia. The mayor will probably demand some hearings. —Congressman B. K. Focht is being commended in his district for the com mon-sense view he took in his speech on the "leak probe." The congress man's remarks were snappy as usual and he held that the country had more Important things than Tom Lawson to fuss about. —M. Ilarvey Taylor, of this city, the secretary to the President pro tem. of the Senate, assumed his duties yester day afternoon and was congratulated by many of his friends. —B. T. Hale, of Towanda, who is aligned with the Progressive wing in Bradford county, is an applicant for superintendent of highways of Brad ford and an effort Is being made to have htm named at once. Many of the Governor's appointments lately have been of Progressives. No More One-Cent Newspapers [Philadelphia Inquirer.] Beginning with Monday next, the price of the Inquirer will be 2 cents. In fact, that will be the price of all Philadelphia newspapers, as it already is in most sections of the country. The reason for the advance Is just this: the high cost of everything necessary to the making of a newspaper has rendered it impossible to publish sat isfactorily a 1-cent journal in this city, as elsewhere. The advance in the price of white paper severely affects the newspapers of the United States. The Inquirer, like most of the strong papers of the country, might continue on the 1-cent basis if It were a charitable institution and its readers were objects of charity. But they are not. This journal is not willing to resort to mediocrity. Its readers are not willing that It should. They demand an up-to-date news paper, complete in every detail. Nothing less would satisfy them and nothing I3S would satisfy the In quirer. And so the price -of the daily Issues will be 2 cents. The intelligent newspaper reader can afford the Increase. It means little to him, but a great deal to the news paper. To print a modern newspaper requires a manufacturing plant. That plant needs to purchase many things In the market. There Is nothing that it purchases that has not increased in price from 20 to 200 per cent-. It would be uninteresting to give a de tailed list of these things. Ink is one of them, and the amount of ink that the Inquirer-uses In the course of a year would astonish the uninformed. But It is paper that is the great item, the item that everyone can readily understand. This journal uses more than 22,000 tons of It In the course of twelve months. Add many dollars a ton to the cost of paper and it is easily figured out by anyone what is staring most newspapers In the face. The alternative Is 2 cents to the public in stead of 1 cent. There is nothing inferior about the Inquirer. It does not intend that there shall be. It believes that its readers will prefer the additional cent rather than recelvo a paper of poor quality and reduced news. That extra cent will make it possible not only to print I a good newspaper, but a better ene. It will be stronger in news, stronger in features, stronger in every way. In stead of decreasing expenses, it will Increase them for the benefit of its readers. We feel, therefore, that we have no apology to make, for the pur chaser of th 6 Inquirer's dally issues will gain by the change in price. Passing of One-Cent Papers [Wllllamaport Sun.] Tim Philadelphia daily newspapers are announcing that beginning on next Monday, January 29. their subscriptloh rates will be advanced to $6.00 a year, or 50 cents pet- month, and two cents a copy. They have been forced to the step, just as nearly every other news paper has, by circumstances over which they had no control; but the Philadelphia papers held their control several months longer than some other papers. This action by Philadelphia nearly eliminates tlie one-cent newspa per from Pennsylvania, most of the others having been already forced up by the large Increase In white paper coming °n the heels of previous ad vances all along the line. THE ANGLO-SAXON REVEALED A Collection of Eloquent Verse by Notable Modern Poets Inspired by Various Phases of the War 1914-16 IT is truly a goodly company that Mr. Cunliffe has gathered together into his new volume of selected "Poems of the Great War"—Robert Bridges, John Masefield, Edgar Lee Masters, William Watson, Harold Beg bie, Tagore and a long roll of other wooers of the muse. As there are many men, so there are many moods. There Is the song of glory, and the dirge of death. There' is the hymn of duty, and the cynical question "Cui bono?" Here the Christian note of fortitude is struck, and there the bitter note of righteous Christian indigna tion. This Is the note of Chesterton. It Is also that of Harold Begble, as in the following, entitled "Neutral?" and dedicated "to the humanity of Amer ica," which, as it is Intended for us especially, may be quoted in full: "When men are told in years ahead How fury forced the Belgian door And ravished maids, struck children dead, And fired the houses of the poor, Will not, if still that nation lives. Our sires with blood and sweat begat. Ask with the pride your greatness gives, 'What said America to that?' "Your children—taught how Belgium stood. In flames that once were called Louvaln, And dashing from her eyes the blood Struck at her foe and struck again— Shall feel their hearts within them burn To know what righteous word you said; God; When the silent truth they learn, Surely your sons will hang the head. "We ask not that of all your hosts One man, one sword be sacrificed; Your cousins guard these ancient coasts. Your kinsmen charge this Anti christ, But we expect your mighty voice With judgment through the world to run, O land of freedom, make your choice, 1 EDITORIAL COMMENT! —The chief characteristic of peace continues to be low visibility.—New York Evening Sun. —We are perfectly neutral In this war.

Good Advice to Britain [Chicago News.] In urging tlio British people and their government to show a greater degree of respect for the rights of neutrals the London Clyon.cle gives wise counsel at a critical moment. Th® newspaper particularly dwells upon the need of giving consideration to the sea rights of the United States. It says truly that on this point Ameri can opinion has always been very sen sitive, and it might have added that there is a historical reason for this sensitiveness. The Ohronlole points out that It is not politic for Britain and its allies to Irritate the United States by pedantic procedure having no Justification in naval or military necessity. The blacklisting methods employed by the British government are mentioned as constituting another special policy which has been overplayed. In advising the British foreign of fice to act upon tho various matters of difference with the United States I in a broad and not in a pettifogging spirit the Chronicle says that the mat ters in question are not vital to Bri tain and that tliey cause irritation to the United States without countervail ing benefits. These assertions are founded on truth and they ought to bo weighed carefully by the British authorities. V JANUARY 25, 1917. Are you for Belgium or the Hun? "We ask not that your shells should shriek Above the flaming hills we climb. But speak, O sons of Lincoln, speak! .Silence in such an hour is crime, lour children judge you if vou stand In hearing of the Belgian cry, Not only with the folded hand. But with the cold, averted eye! "The soul lias got its piercing steel, I'he heart its fierce consuming fire, Oh, make your voice like thunder peal, All nations of the earth inspire! We know your heart for Belgium bleeds. But speak your soul, declare your mind, Speak till the sin-red tyrant heeds The voice of God and all mankind." There is the extolling of the heroic men "Who died to hold Mons for England" by Philip Byard Clayton's "We Held Their Ground," and there is a hymn of praise to France by Edgar Lee Mas ters. Then there is "The Debt," by E. V. Lucas, the debt of gratitude those at home owe to those who are saving England. And something in the same strain from Maurice Hewlett remind ing the sorrowing girl whose sweet heart is at the front that "But if he live or die The English flag must fly, And England take care of his sweet heart." And there are paeans to "England's Dead," such as Frank Taylor's lines— or Alan Seeger, tlio young American, "I Have Rendezvous With Death"— he who was killed in battle at Belloy en-Santerrc. July, 1916. If there Is the resolve of the hero, there is the courageous resignation of the father when stricken in his eldest son. The whole gamut of human feel ing at its most exalted pitch is ex pressed in poignant, exalted or exult ing words. An epitome of the modern soul in the proud days of its sorest trial, flung at the world by men whose "head is bloody but unbowed"!— S elected by J. W. Cunliffe, New York, the Macmillan Company.

Vi Ibmttg (Ebat The other day Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh went out to show the Oakley paintings in the Senate cham ber to Mrs. Brumbaugh and some friends and had an amusing experi ence, but did not know it. The Gov ernor had gone a little ahead of his party and was in the Senate cham ber before they were within yards of it. When he got there he found a couple of men who seemed to be in terested in things and who promptly 4 asked him questions. The Governor explained the theme in the mural dec orations and wherever lie went the men folloved him about, deeply inter ested in the information that the Gov ernor was giving. Finally Secretary Ball told one of the men that if he desired to sec the Capitol he would procure him a guide. "Oh, we'd rather have this one," answered the man addressed. Mr. Ball looked up at the ceiling and skillfully detached the visitor from the group. Then he asked him where he came from. "Oh, from away up in New York State," answered the visitor. "I cer tainly think that guide is a dandy. He is a most unusual man and so well in formed." he added as the Governor was going on to point out the beau ties of the room. "Yes, he Is. Do you know his name?" asked Mr. Ball. "No, who is he?" replied the New Yorker. "His name's Brumbaugh." "Brumbaugh? Well, he certainly knows this building." "Haven't you ever heard of him?" "Why, no, I can't recall the name." "Well, he's the Governor." The New York man looked a little queer and then remarked, "Oh, that's it. I noticed he shook hands with me. I guess I'll have to start for my train." • • * Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of State College, who was in Harrlsburg this week attending the agricultural meet ings and the State College alumni ban quet, expressed himself as much pleased with the interest the labor unions are displaying in the institu tion of which he is the head. "Re cently," he said, "eight representa- ' tives of different branches of organized labor spent three days at the college inspecting the equipment and facilities for training young men and women to be teachers in vocational high schools of the State. Some time ago it developed that the Pennsylvania State Federation of La bor is considering the raising of a fund of $25,000 for the endowment of scholarships at State, designed for the support of forty students. A well known member of the local branch said in this connection that ho re garded this as one of the most ad vanced steps the Federation has ever taken, not only because it will give ad vantages to many boys who otherwise would not have them, but becu..de it. will help to improve the standing of labor unions nmong people who do not understand their objects. He gave it as his opinion that the more work of this kind the unions undertake the better they will be regarded by the public in general and by many per sons who evidently believe that they are organized merely for wage advanc ing purpeses. • * • The request of State College for an propriation from the Legislature for the purposes of encouraging State Col lege boys to give more attention to military training, brings to mind the success of Gettysburg College In thft* respect. With little or no armory equipment nearly 90 per cent, of the students there have enrolled in the course that was started the first of the present year under the direction of a United States Army officer assigned to the work by the government under the recently enacted larger army act. Gettysburg has military traditions and the students are evidently determined to uphold them. One of these days, the trustees say, the college will be compelled to respond by giving the student body such an armory as it now needs. • • * "What Mr. Schwab's purchase means to llarrisburg" is the title of a folder issued by Miller Brothers & Co., which calls attention to something which the average Harrlsburger or Dauphin and Cumberland countlan.for that matter, little realizes. The fold er comments upon the tremendous strides which were taken in the Beth j lcheins after the steel magnate began Ito develop the famous Bethlehem plant and remarks: "There are many who already see what is in store for our town and who are investing or are about to invest their money here in enterprises of various kinds, all of which means for Harrisburg the com ing of many more people who must have home?, more and larger busi ness houses.'' • • * "The seed catalogs are beginning to go through the mails, gol darn it," complained a mail clerk yesterday. "I guess this buck to the farm stuff is getting ii.to the minds of a lot of fel lows whose farrus are never likely to be bigger than their backyards. At any rate the seed books are more numerous than ever this year. They are the lirst signs of spring, beating the poultry catalogs and the blue birds by a few weeks and getting the postal clerks all 'hot up' by the extra burdens they impose." o # The visit of the "Corn Boys," as they are called, to the city yesterday was the tirst to be made here by Pennsylvania boys 011 such a mission and recalls that the State Capital lias been visited for years by corn club delegations from Ohio and other Western States. The corn clubs have attracted much attention in other States and Pennsylvania is rapidly coming to the front. f~WELL KNOWN PEOPLE —General Leonard Wood will speak in several Pennsylvania cities on military training this month. —A.
