TCESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5 What an inferior man seeks is In others; ichat a superior man -seeks is in Mmself. — BCHWEB LTTTON. gr NEWSPAPERS AND THE PEOPLE IM a direct and forceful speech the other day Congressman Benjamin K. Focht, of the Lewlsburg dis trict, made very clear the unfair discrimination proposed In the war levenue bill against the newspaper Industry. Mr. Focht. himself a pub lisher spoke with knowledge ot the facts and declared that Instead of a fair imposition of the burden of taxa tion justified by the war necessities, the levy proposed is one of exterr - nation so far as the newspaper In dustry is concerned. He *as pa - tlcularly clear in his discussion of the proposed increased postage rat newspapers and pointed out: that; the measure was absolutely out of bar mony with all business sense and reason and a menace to the publlsh- ins; interests. Among other illustrations Mr. Focht referred to the Wllllamsport Grit as a newspaper which had been developed from a modest local weekly <* a few thousand circulation to a national publication. Alreadj this particular publication was pay ing $57,500 as an Increase on its white paper account owing to war conditions. With the war tax added the increase would be $98,423.95. and should the second class postage bil he still further increased as sug gested in the revenue measure the total war tax upon this single pub lishing plant would be $207,570.42. Mr Focht emphasized the con fiscatory character of the proposed impositions on newspapers by declar ing that instead of the government getting $207,000 from the paper in question it would not get anything whatever because the Grit would be forced to suspend. What Congressman Focht out lined in his remarks in the House was simply a plain statement of the conditions which now confront news paper publishers all over the United States. They have been burdened heyond anything in the history of the newspaper industry by the increased cost of print paper and other ma terials, the wage scale Justified by the high cost of living and by exces sive and rising costs In every direc tion. Should the government now impose taxes beyond the point of reasonable levies, it will be impos sible for many publications to exist. It is generally understood that the newspapers of the United States have manifested a high type of patriotism throughout the whole period of war preparations. They have avoided printing anything which would bp of aid or comfort to the enemy. They have given without charge countless columns of spaco to the promotion of recruiting, the sale of Liberty Bonds and the general support of the government in every direction. Notwithstanding this attitude on their part and a manifest desire to aid in every way, the newspapers have been hamstrung and misrepre sented by the very persons who should be best informed as to their real usefulness in the present crisis. Nothing more unfair or unjust has developed than the persistent effort to impose a governmental censorship which would deprive newspapers of independence in the discussion of matters affecting the country during the period of the war. It Is time f*or the people to under stand that any permanent injury to the newspapers of the country will react upon the people themselves. Bad news ror the Democratic poli ticians—the newspaper censorship clause has failed. ) PRACTICAL AMERICANIZATION AN interesting experiment in practical Americanization In an industrial community Is now attracting attention through the Chamber of Commerce ot Youngs town, Ohio. In a little over a month, nearly every phase of the community life has been imbued with the spirit of the campaign. A night school has been established for a common lan guage and a united and loyal citizen ship, $1,500 having been raised to es tablish night classes for adults In the public school buildings. Names of non-English speaking persons were obtained to determine the need of night schools, through employers of foreign labor, from organizations and at meeting* All aliens so listed were urged to classes by foremen In plants and by personal solicitation of' or- TUESDAY EVENING, ganizatlon members, interestod citi zens and clergymen and church members. The keen Interest of the students resulted in their voting to eliminate the Spring vacation and continue the evening until June 30. To allay unrest due to the war a proclamation was issued by the Mayor of Youngstown announcing that the property of aliens would not be confiscated * and individual plants hav® announced that not one foroign-bortt workman would be dis charged simply because of national ity. Other important steps have been taken by the Chamber of Commerce of that city to encourage foreign born residents to take advantage ot efforts in their behalf. These Include a logal aid bureau to foster amicable adjustment of complaints and mis understandings and to protect for eigners against exploitation; also so cial and civic agencies, including fra ternal organization, social clubs and other means of aiding the new com ers and to show the economic and social advantages of Americaniza tion. Foreign groups are consulted regarding plans for work and their approval obtained. Other cities of the country are en gaged In similar work, to the end that those who want to be Americans in thought and purpose shall have every encouragement possible. The HARRIS BL'RQ TELEGRAPH has frequently called attention to the large number of excellent men and women who have come to us from other shores and who are earnestly desirous of becoming citizens of the United States in every sense the term implies. Perhaps no better way to bring. about rapid headway in Americanl- ' zatlon could be evolved than the co operation of the employers of labor [ with a Joint committee of the Cham ber of Commerce and the Rotary Club. These organizations are doing much for Harrisburg and would doubtless Join efforts in a movement to make real Americans of all who have come here to better their con ditions. Buy an American bond and keep clear of German bonds. CITY MANAGER FOR X. Y. THERE is much interest for Har risburg and other cities of Pennsylvania in the announce ment by Mayor Mitchell of a plan for the reorganization of the mu nicipal government of New York! City. It was drafted by Henry , Bruere, former city chamberlain.) ! who has given much study to city J problems in America. The report refers to the devasta- j tlon of the great war in Europe and the improved organization of the i governments of the warring nations, | which the pressure of war needs has j compelled. The whole plan is in j keeping with Mayor Mitchell's hard,! but for the most part unsuccessful, I fight for "home rule" legislation at | Albany, which in many respects is j analogous to the effort of Senator j Beidleman in Pennsylvania. Speak ing of it in relation to present war I conditions, Mr. Bruere says; England's governmental ma- I chinerv has been rescued from I red tape. Russia is setting out toward efficient democracy. America may rediscover her soul in the effort which the war will impose upon her. New York in recent years has led all America in destroying the old pessimism regarding civic in competency. Kor the last sev eral years, with a better under , standing of the problem of admin istering New York City's busi ness, it has become increasingly clear that more effective adminis trative organization is required if the now popularly denied wider usefulness of the city govern ment is to be attained. The report outlines two plans for reorganizing the municipal govern ment. The first plan, while central izing much of the administrative re sponsibility of the government un der the Board of Estimate, to be discharged through the office of a "city manager," does not greatly dis turb the present organizations of the city departments. The second plan Is more radical and Involves a sub stantial change in the duties of the five borough presidents, as well as the development of more highly specialized administrative machinery. Summarizing the details of the plan, Mr. Bruere urges that provision be made In the charter for some of ficial machinery analogous to that of a general managership in a corpo ration. He calls attention to the suc cessful operation of the city man ager plan in various cities. To date there are approximately 100 mu nicipalities in the United States which have adopted this form of government. When such men as Mayor Mitchell see virtues in city management for such a city as New York it is time for Harrisburg to think seriously about a change In that direction. The League to Enforce Peace, of which ex-President William Howard Taft is president, is now actively supi porting the Government in its war ac tivities, using its best endeavors to recruit the moral preparedness of the people for the war and for the or ganization of a league of nations at its close. This organization believes war must result in some permanent plan through which such international tragedies shall be prevented. It ma# mean the banding together of the na tions of the world somewhat in the nature of an international police force which shall Suppress promptly and efficiently any outbreak against International peace. Ifthere Is any doubt among Har risburg people about the Importance of supporting the Y. M. C. A. field work in the military camps that doubt has been dissipated since the remark able address of Judge Joseph Buffing ton ,a few days ago. Those who re main at home must now realize the Importance of throwing about the young men in the service every safe guard, to the end that their moral and physical well being may be main tained. Now, then, everybody get together to pan the pan-Germans. I>o£tUc41 > o£tUc4 Lk Bj the Ex-Commltteeman Drastic cuts In the requests for appropriations for various branches of the State government, against whose chiefs and attaches complaints of political activity have been heard in legislative chambers, are not like ly to be made by the committee in charge of the appropriations. The preparation of the general appropri ation bill is going forward rapidly, Chairmen Buckman and Woodward having spent yesterday on the meas ure. Most of the department chiefs have had conferences with the chairmen and explained the neces sity for the requests they have made and these meetings were continued to-day. It is said that departmental appropriations for existing places* and work now in progress will go through, but that there may be diffi culty about launching new enterpris es, especially those in the Depart ment of Labor and Industry. The appropriation chairmen will have a talk with the Governor on the general situation late in tho week. Both branches of the Legislature face big calendars for the sessions to-morrow afternoon. The appropri ation bills will bo given right pf way and it is probable that the Senate and House committees will report out bills rapidly in the next ten days. Members of the State Senate are commencing to get telegrams by the ream protesting against the provi sions in the Buckman automobile li cense bill, motor clubs in various sec tions of the State having become aroused while men active in politics have been enlisted against some of its provisions. It is probable that the bill will be amended so as to include motorcycles In tho clause | relative to use of cut-outs and muf flers. The bill will be on the Senate calendar when It convenes after the recess to-morrow afternoon. —S. C. Gernon Is the latest to en ter the race for Mayor of Scranton. There will be a strenuous contest In that city this fall. —Democratic county committees which are reorganizing throughout the State now are very strong in their support of the State Democratic organization. —Floorwalker Sarig, of the Demo cratic legislative caucus, is planning to make a speech on his trust buster bill when It comes along In the House which may lie soon. It will be held up as the relief for all Ills notwith standing what the Federal govern ment may be doing. —George Hart was elected chair man of the Lackawanna Prohibition committee and steps are being taken to woo the Washingtonians In that section to join in. —Gossip to-day was that if things turned out all right in Philadelphia at the city committee meeting that the Legislature might quit on June 28. Everything is waiting for Phila delphia to settle its troubles. —Transfer of ex-Auditor General Powell from the active list of the National Guard to the reserve at tracted much comment at the Capitol as he has been long identified with the Guard and had a fine record in the Philippines. —Henry J. Scott, Philadelphia lawyer well known here, was cleared yesterday in disbarment proceedings. A witness against him was given short shrift for misstatements. —Ex-Senator Ernest L. Tustin was re-elected chairman of the Philadel phia recreation board. —According to mosfrof the Phila delphia newspapers the control of the Philadelphia Republican city committee remains with the Vare- Martln-Lane alliance. Ernest L. tin, Oscar Noll and a couple of other Penrose-McNlchol men were defeat ed. Senators Salus, McNlchol, Pat ton and Vare; Congressman John R. K. Scott and W. S. Vare and Repre sentatives M. S. Bennett and Patrick Connor; Appraiser F. J. Ryan, Com pensation Chairman Mackey and other men active in politics are mem bers again. —Constitutionality of the forma tion of the new Clinton county judi cial district under the Rich law, at tacked in court yesterday, is similar to the proceedings brought a year ago. Take Away the Subsidy ! The periodical publishers who ap peared before the Senate Finance' Committee on Saturday in a desper-l ate effort to defeat an increase in second class postal rates were un usually frank in their arguments. Their one fixed idea is to retain the subsidy which the government now grants them in the shape of un dercharges on the carriage of second class mail matter. Thev admit that they want to go on enjoying that subsidy, and they realize that, once it has been with drawn, the government will never re store it. They are therefore anxious to substitute for an equalization of second class rates, which will be per manent in character because justified bv sound principles of postal admin istration, a purely emergency tax on the volume of newspaper and maga zine advertising. They could ask for a repeal of this tax when the war is over. But they have no hope that a scientific revision of second class rates, through the Introduction of the zone system created b# the House bill, can ever be upset. It Is obvious that a trial of such a scheme for a year or two would vin dicate it completely. There would then be as little chance of a relapse to the old flat rate undercharge on second class matter for the benefit of publishers unwilling to pay their way as there would be of a revival of the old parcel post flat rate sys tem. with its ludicrous limitation on weight, for the benefit of the once all-powerful express companies. A general tax on advertising, with a retention of the discriminating and inadequate flat rate on second class matter, would simply continue the glaring inequalities which every in vestigating commission has found to exist in the second class mall ser vice. The government has been de voting millions of dollars every yeir to promoting the sale of periodicals and newspapers which avail them selves of the long haul privileges granted under existing postal laws. It carries bulky second class mail from New York to San Francisco for the same charge for which it carries It from New York to Phila delphia. The newspaper or magazine sent 1,000 miles or 3,000 miles is de livered at a heavy loss to the Post office Department. Circulation fa cilities are thus furnished at the public expense and publications of wide circulation are unfairly bene fited. —New York Tribune. Charles M. Schwab says:— I have seen more men fall in busl jnesa through the attitude taken by their wives in their younger days than from all the vices put together. A nagging wife, or one who is not in sympathy with a man's work, who expects impossible things of him, and Is Incapable of taking a general In telligent Interest in his work, is one of the worst handicaps he could have. If a man works with his mind clogged by domestic troubles he is no use to himself, his employer or the world at large. .

IT R VOUP cmT' Baseball Extras Cut Out ( Evening newspapers in many of ( the larger cities of the country are discontinuing their baseball editions, j This step has been necessary in most recent cases where this has been done to the printpaper situa- j tion. The Buffalo evening papers re- 1 cently cut them out. If the baseball clubs of this country could see the wisdom of co-operating with the newspapers by starting their games sufficiently early to enable publish ers to print the result of games in j late editions they would still be able! to get the publicity once enjoyed j through baseball extras. The morning papers no doubt j welcome this retrenchment on the ( part of evening newspapers, but the j public is fast losing interest in the national game by being compelled to 1 wait until the following morning for j the scores. It's a hard thing to teach an old dog new tricks, however, and until baseball magnates can be convinced that they are not the only ones in terested In the games they will In directly suffer, due to decreased at tendance and lack of interest. The pages of space once devoted to base ball dope and results is a thing of the past, and publishers have long ago realized that they were wasting thousands of dollars' worth of valu able space each year for the bemefit of private interests for which there never has ben a shadow of an ex cuse. In many cities even the score boards and tickers have been taken out. Yet the circulation of these newspapers goes steadily upward, practically disproving the argument many times advanced that baseball extras were necessary to maintain subscription list. —Newspaper Circu lation Manager's Bulletin. The New Indiana [From the Cleveland Leader.] In spirit and in deeds a new state has come into being just across the western boundary of Ohio. It Is clear that in certain vital respects Indiana has been born again. state was the first ot- the large members of the Union to fill its entire quota of recruits needed for the regular army. Out of the whole list of forty-eight states only, three in the Far West, all of them 'small, reached the goal ahead of In diana. Yet for many years after the war which saved the country from dismemberment Indiana bore a taint of copperheadism and was looked upon by neighboring states as some what lacking in the right sort of patriotism. Last fall, when the main issue of the national campaign was militant and thoroughgoing defense of Amer ican rights and American honor, In diana. long regarded as a common wealth inclined strongly to the Dem ocratic party, was stvept by the Re publican tickets, national, state and local. It showed plainly then the same temper and high spirit which recruiting for the army has abso lutely demonstrated this spring. And now Indiana is for woman suffrage and prohibition. Many things have changed utterly. It is all a notable awakening of stalwart and Inspiring Americanism which is in entire harmony with the great advances Indiana has made in industries, commerce and general prosperity. The new Indiana is right in line with the most progres sive states of the Union. Liberia, Too [From the Boston Herald.] The latest recruit in the great world war between democracy and autocracy is the little republic of Liberia. Child and ward of tho United States, with a constitution modeled upon ours, Liberia has followed the American example in breaking rela tlons with Germanv. Of her total population of perhaps 1,500,000 to 2,000,000, only 50,000 are reckoned as civilized, and these live along the coast on a strip of land about twen ty miles broad. Of these 50,000 about 12,000 are American Liberians, descendants of the former American slaves who brought the little repub lic into being. Liberia will not figure prominently In the activities of the war. Her navy is limited to a single armed ravenue cutter. Her militia, volunteers and police number about 400, but every citizen from sixteen to fifty years of age capable of bearing arms is liable to serve. Small as she is, she has not been overlooked by the covetous eyes of Germany. Her palm oil re sources are rich and Germany would like to control them. Before the war .Germany was extending her Interests in the little republic, and was using the hardy Liberians for working her ships up and down the coast. They will figure no more in any such ser vice. Instead, they can be mobilized to advantage for war work in France or upon British shlijp. Will Be Complete Our readiness for war will not be complete until the lampposts are decorated with a few peddlers of de fective shells. —Boston Advertiser. JOHNNY REBS WOULD MAKE THE HOHENZOLLERN SCAMPER Veteran Confederates, if They Could, Would Willingly Give Their Lives, Says Henry Watterson. to Win Battle for World Freedom Now Upon UnltedNgtates; New Rebel Yell—"Rats, To Your Holes!" The following editorial by Henry Watterson appeared yesterday in the Louisville Courier-Journal; " 'On fame's eternal camping ground, Their silent tents are spread— And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead.' "In every national cemetery these lines, written by* a Confederate sol dier, appear either over the gateway or upon the central monument. It might be said in explanation of a cer tain anomaly, rather seeming than real, that they were written long be fore the War of Sections to com memorate the Kentucky soldiers fal len in the Mexican war whose re mains were brought home a year or two later for reinterment in the State cemetery at Frankfort. But the circumstance that Theodore O'Hara, their-author, served the Confederacy as he had served tho Union points a moral and adorns a tale of patriotic valor outlasting political passion and surmounting lines of battle. Glorious History Written To-day "The tinal chapter of the glorious history born at Lexington, Bunker Hill and Yorktown, continued across the Plains of Chalmettc to lfalo Alto, Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo, and thence onward to Shiloh, Gettysburg and Appomattox, is written to-day by the unopposed capture of Wash ington City by a thin, gray line of Johnny Rcbs carrying beneath the Stars and Stripes the tattered ban ners of the Confederacy—symbols both and alike of national unity and American manhood —invited there by the brave soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic to be welcom ed and cheered as they totter along tho Great Avenue by every American who loves his country and has a heart in his bosom. "It is fitting that at this moment such a reminder shtfuld be passed among ourselves and such an exhibit be given to the world. "It took three foreign wars and one war of sections —miscalled a civil war —to make for us a nation and to weld our divided States Into a federal unit. Yet a more homogene ous people occupying such an extent of territory never existed anywhere on earth. Puritan Massachusetts and Cavalier Virginia—rather ldosely named came from England. But they did not bring their English quarrels with them. The terms Puri tan and Cavalier were afterthoughts, one might even say affectations, of our war of sections. That fine bell i wether of secession, James Henry Hammond, of South Carolina, sprang directly from the Puritans of New- England, while that first of Confed erate soldiers. Albert Sidney John ston —a Cavalier if ever there was a Cavalier —had not a drop of South ern blood in his veins, having been born in Kentucky soon after his father and mother arrived there from Connecticut. What a rare old i Puritan John Slidell, the Louisiana ! leader, was—born and reared in New Mother Nature Smiles In an interview published by "The Nation's Business," discussing the crop conditions and tho need for more intelligent farming, F. D. Co burn says: "But in tho end we wait on er Nature; and just now the old lady is friendly. liCt me name two rea sons why I think I see her smile: First, farmers have known from the beginning that when unkind condi tions destroy the winter wheat the corn crop is likely to be a record breaker; Becond, we have had frost and we have had insufficient rain. Together these have ploughed and opened up the deep, silent places of the soil. And so I feel that there is a brilliant promise ahead of us de spite the apparent drawbacks we have seemed to be encountering. It is a promise for which we may well feel profoundly grateful. It brings with it an opportunity such •is has come to no nation before In the history of mankind. For surely we can ask no nobler part and no greater privilege than that America may be permitted to pour out upon the peoples in their need its wheat and wine and oil—a Good Samaritan among the nations of the earth." Obvious [Philadelphia North American.] Even the man who does not favor prohibition will admit that the liquor industry goes against the grain. York!—and who shall say that Kearny, Custer and McPherson were not Cavaliers? Stonewall Jackson, Typical Puritan "The list might be extended Inde finitely. Indeed, the one typical Puritan soldier of the war of sec tions served not the Union but the Confederacy—Stonewall Jackson. It was truly a war of sections—the North against The South and vice versa—and except for the removal of Abraham Lincoln from the scene the popular coming together when it was ended had been speedier, for the men who on both sides had actually fought Its battles were ready at once to fraternize. They—may the Cour ier-Journal not say we'.'—had had quite enough of It. The generous treatment of Lee by Grant had set the pace as an example. , All of us wanted to wipe off the slate and in good faith to accept the invitation of the martyred President fo 'come back home and behave yourselves.' "The period and process of recon struction proved more disastrous to tho South and sowed deeper differ ences than the conflict of arms. They were wholly political and partisan. Yet even they could not drive out of the hearts of the Southern people a latent Americanism, which was bound to spring into life and action when touched'from without, so that, preceded by many kindly words and acts from McKinley and men like McKinley, when the signal was flash ed from Havana Harbor the answer came as promptly from the South as from the North. The first heroic sacrifice, as chance would have it, was a North Carolina lad of rebel parentage. South Prompt to Respond "It is well for the whole country at a time like this to recall and re member these things. They are ac centuated by the scenes which will mark the day in the nation's capital. Not one of the veteran confederates arrayed there but would willingly give his life to win the battle for world freedom which is upon us; most of them would gladly go to the front if they could; while some ol' them have the fancy that the "rebel yell," if their old throats could" deliver it loud enough, would make the Hohenzollern scamper and sound in the ears of the Hapsburg as if it said: 'Rats, to your holes!" "Nowhere in the land do the pulse beats of the people respond more promptly and firmly to the drum beats of the nation than in the South, for which those gray clad, gray heads and gray beards fought four long, heart breaking years, and he must be a poor American who does not warm to them —even as MacCallum More, touched by the appeal of Jeanie Deans, warmed to the tartan —seeing them march, phantoms out of the battle smoke of the Confeder acy, but soldiers —men every inch of them—singing "The Star Spangled Banner" and exclaiming in holy wrath, 'To hell with the Hohenzol lern and the Hapsburg.' " Keep On Agoing Every man's duty to-day is to stick to his last. Each one of us can do his part most effectively by redou bling his endeavors at the occupation in which he finds himself—railroad ing or farming, mining or advertis ing, selling groceries or making shoes, banking or lumbering. All of our every-day occupations have their great place in our industrial and commercial structure, and this great structure is the mighty force we have thrown into the war. Our job for th,e moment is to in crease our production and to make our facilities of distribution equal to the burdens wo must place upon them. In neither one of these Jobs have we the tasks which all of the countries earlier at war had to con front in the second half of 1914, Al though not in the war, Tn reality we went through those days with the belligerents. Byway of provision against recurrence of such times, we have since done a deal toward creat ing tho nucleus of an organization for war, and in preparing our struc ture of finance, production and dis tribution for exigencies of war we made some real progress. Our organization for war is taking form. Finance and industry are adjusting themselves to the new national situation. This Is a period of transition. In order that the end of this period may find the country puissant with confident vigor, every man must bend to his present Job, solve its new problems, and make It more significant In his community. Having don this, we can turn to the direct tasks >f war In later months, when they are ready for us.—The Nation's Business. JUNE 5, 1917.

This is the first Inter national conference these unionists have held in three years. Officials report nearly the. entire membership has secured wage increases the last year. Approximately four times as many persons are employed in the fac tories of New York State as are em ployed in building and construction work, reports the State Industrial Commission. Yet during the four years, from October 1, 1910. to Sep tember 30, 1914, more fatalities due to accidents occurred in building and construction work than In factories. A report of the British Health of Munition Workers' Committee states that there is no productivity in over time that continuous work "Is a pro found mistake and does not pay," that night work is not to be regard ed as a good thing, becuuse it is un economical, and that exceslvely long hours produce fatigue, Irritation and sickness.
