6 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH A NEWSPAPER FOR THE NOUS FounJtd rSjl Published evenings except Sunday by THE TELEGRAPH PIIIXTIXG CO., Telegraph Btill fish. They are going to see to it' that the*main highway is permanent from border to border. And that is as it should be. What county Is there in Pennsylvania so all-sufficient that It need pay no heed nor give at-1 tention to its neighbors? What! county is there along this highway • which could afford to construct a! road system beneficial only to itself? From a "paper" highway of March. 1916, the William Penn High way is advancing by leaps and bounds. Before the close of 1918 i nearly 60 miles of permanent road will be added to what has already been built and is now building. Within three or four years the Wil liam Penn will be nine-tenths of permanent construction—and thot is more than can be said now of any other highway, or may be said then. The William Penn Highway As sociation Is showing Pennsylvania what a hard-working good road or ganization can do. Big smokestacks and high buildings In the district between Walnut and North streets and the right of way of the Pennsylvania railroad and Thir teenth street will utterly destroy the proposed treatment of that section as it streets the outlook from the Capitol. Construction of a monumental via duct at State street will give an ex tension of the view eastward toward the green terrace beyond Cameron street, and the vista should not be spoiled by unregulated buildings. This is a matter for th Planning Commission and City Council. ABAS THE CUTOUT ! Notwithstanding the efforts of the Harrisburg Motor Club and the general reprobation of the community the cutout persists. An ordinance regulating the use of the public highways, together with regulations of the police department, provides: Every motor vehicle using gaso line or other explosive mixture or substance as a motive power shall at all times be provided with and use a muffler or other apparatus sufficient to deaden the sounds of the explosions. Chief of Police Wetzel and the men of his ffrce must realize that this particular regulation Is violated openly and flagrantly in Harrisburg. Life Is hardly worth the living on some of the streets of this city ow ing to the infernal racket resulting frdm open cutouts on automobiles and motorcycles. A certain class of Individuals appears to regard the nolsemaklng contrivance as the ef ficient part of the particular vehicle which they happen to use. It is not unusual for scores of these noise SATURDAY EVENING. lnnatlga to follow one another In close succession, emitting the most unearthly sounds and making lite miserable for scores and hundreds of people who have a right to expect that the ordinury ordinances of the city will be enforced. It is common report that offenders of this clase have been arrested, taken to police headquarters, gently reprimanded and told not to do it again! So long as these culprits ara permitted to go their owjf swoet way just so long will the nuisance con tinue. And while on thl subject may we not suggest. In all fairness as to the traffic officers, that they be provided with an umbrella stand and semlphor signals for the more efficient han dling of the congestion in the central part of the city? Policemen under the present arrangement get plenty of setting up exercise, but the "stou" and "go" signal arrangement would be much more effective. ASH COLLECTIONS IT IS well nigh impossible to credit the report that City Council is seriously considering the collection of ashes and garbage from the curb. To Install a system of that kind would go from bad to worse. There Is no prospect of getting away from the contract Bystem for at least another year, thinks to the shilly shallying of council, and experience has taught the people what that \ means. Now we are told that, to keep down expense, council means to let this temporary contract and then to require the people to place their ash cans and garbage cans on the curb in front of their homes for the collectors, -wherever there is not a driveway in the rear. Slich a proposal Is unthinkable and If the Telegraph gauges rightly the temper of the peo ple of Harrisburg and their pride in the appearance of the city they will not stand for It. With the mere thought of saving a few dollars we are asked to turn our streets into depositories for ashes and garbage. The man who has at great expense built a beautiful house would be re quired to decorate its front with re ceptacles for offaK The man who had spent time and money on window boxes and grassplots would be forced to spoil the beautiful effect by a dis play of unsightly cens. Not only that, but the cans would be constant temptations to mischievous boys and the ravages of dogs by night. The picture of tljs new system in I operation Is anything but attractive. Rows upon rows of ash and garbage cans transforming the city streets into public dunrps, here and there a can upset, its unsavory contents scattered along the gutters, and the collector calling with his usual lr — | regularity. We are told that collections from backyards would be expensive. So are paved streets expensive, and parks, and Altered water, and ade quate sewers, and playgrounds, and many other things that Harrisburg people Insist upon having. For the sake of a few dollars we cannot af ford to undo the work of beautlfl catlon in which we have been en gaged for many years. The house holder, and his name Is legion, who spends from ten to fifty dollars for porch and window boxes, would not grudge the small extra expense that would save his front pavement from the appearance of aj>ubllc dump. . We are Informed that the curb system Is belnf considered In Har risburg because New Tork and Phil adelphia have had It for years. And if New Tork and Philadelphia choose to litter their streets and permit. them to remain so dirty and un kempt that they are a by-word In the community and a reproach to the municipalities in they exist, Is Harrisburg to be forced Into the same class? Indeed ndt! We In Har risburg are not going to place the dollar mark above the appearance ff our city. What council should do Is • I to give more consideration to turning garbage Into money, instead of hag gling over pennies to be saved In col lections. Bending cotton to our adversary !n Germany for high explosives and de fective cartridges to our troops In France will not greatly enhance the prestige of our Government abroad. Wo must get rid of the Incompetents and little men in high places. . Samuel Kunkel's memory Is en shrined in the hearts of the children of Harrisburg. But. notwithstanding, it would be a properlhlng to change "romper" day to "Kunkel" day in the playgrounds schedule. Granting that uniform primary laws and-commission form of government 'experiments and other alleged reforms are good things, as contended by their advocates, why is it that since their adoption the public Interest in matters of vital Importance has steadily waned here and elsewhere? IK By the Ex-Commit teem an Pennsylvania has voted on over a score of proposed constitutional amendments in as many years and has a couple of important amend ments aheatl of it before the third decade of the century begins, but It not the only State wherein the referendum is being Invoked on con templated changes to the organic law. There will be elections on sug gested constitutional changes in per haps a dozen Spates this year, but what will particularly interest Penn sylvania Is that the State of Maine is about to struggle with woman suf frage. The Pine Tree State, which has held an Important place in the political horizon of the Keystone for years because of early election and the prohibition law, Is going to vote on September 10 on the ques tion which this State defeated a few years ago and which because of the adverse action of the lower branch ct the 1917 Legislature it will not have a chance to express an opinion upon until about 1921. Maine is undergoing a strenuous campaign with both the suffragists rnd the antis placarding walls and billboards and having banners on streets, but tliey have not got the system in the campaign that marked the suffragists' organization here a few years ago The form of the proposition is different than in Penn sylvania. There are two proposals, although but one vote is required. The spaces for voting, too, are ar ranged differently than from this state's voting plan. The advertise ment, which is certified as a repro duction of the ballot, shows a width of three columns with white spaces an Inch and a half long by an inch deep at either side. There can be no mistaking that the "yes" space is at the right 'hand and the "no" tit the left. The proposed amend ment is No. 1. and gives notice that "chapter 4 of the resolves of 1917" submits it. There are four other amendments for the voters of Maine to wrestle with week after next. One provides for removal-of sheriffs by the Governor and council when the sheriffs fail to be good; another pro vides that the Legislature may di vide towns into polling places; the third puts the militia in line with United States requirements and stip ulates that Quakers and Shakers, among others, may be exempted and the fifth relates to the apportion ment of representatives in event of mergers of towns. Each town hav ing 1,500 inhabitants is to get a rep resentative. but no town can have over seven except that when cities nnd towns merge they have the com bined representation. The plantation, corresponding roughly to our second class township, is taken care of in a peculiar way. It is allowed to join with a town to get.the 1,500 neces sary to obtain a member, but there Is also this provision; "Whenever any town or towns, plantation or plantations, not entitled to elect a representative. shall determine pgainst a classification, with any town or plantation, the Legislature may, at each apportionment of represent atives on the application of such town or plantation, authorize It to elect a representative for such por tion of time and such periods, as shall be equal to Its portion of rep resentation; and the right of rep resentation so established, shall not bo altered until the next general apjftirtlonment." Pennsylvania confides apportion ment to its Legislature on a ratio basis and if it ever got down to such fine distinctions on a proposed constitutional amendment there would be a recrudescence of the de mand for a new constitution with all its terrors for business. —Practically the whole State is turning its attention to-day to fare well to the drafted men and political meetings and maneuverings have for the time being a secondary place. Even in Pittsburgh the parades and demonstrations have detracted from the mayoralty fuss and in the an thracite region Labor Day parades and farewells to the young soldiers will dwarf the battles. —Governor Brumbaugh will prob ably stay a few days In Philadelphia and vicinity, but it is doubtful whether he will take any action on anything. It was not known at his office whether he wpuld come here or not. —Most of the Senators In Eastern Pennsylvania were at the funeral of Senator W. W. Smith yesterday. —No decisions In the nominating mandamus cases are expected be fore the middle of next week. Toll Gates Are Going Another turnpike to be free! On Saturday residents of Berks. Leb anon and Dauphin counties will have the felicity of traveling without cost over the Berks-Dauphin pike, whera tolls have been collected fqjr more than a century, and an important link in the William Penn highway will be well rid of the obstructive toll Kates. Let the good work go on. Lancastor and Montgomery counties are still unduly afflicted with these barriers to travel, which bring great reproach upon those communities, and should make especial efforts to tdlminate them. A toll gate in Penn sylvania in the year 1917 is as much an anachronism as flint locks for the soldiers going to France would be. —Philadelphia Record. Rhymes From the Nursery —DAD— Gee!

The utterances of this treasonable press are being closely noted and all the government is waiting for, the At torney General says, is a clear cut case in which there will be no possi bility of a failure to convict. There alter the government will be better armed to fight this foe that hangs in the rear. Perhaps when this war is over and Americans have a chance to look back and measure the danger that was in this alien press they will recognize the desirability of dis couraging the use of all foreign lan guages in their country. English is the language of the American dem ocracy and the desire to use it ought to be a test of the naturalized citi zen's intent to leave behind him his old allegiance and be faithful to his new. It is plain that the use of a for eign lapguage by the nationals of another country has the strongest tendency to draw and hold them together and apart from the com munity in which they live. This se gregation is against ever* American interest. For one thing it has given the politician the opportunity to con trol as "solid" blocks the votes of these foreign speaking citizens who are appealed to and who vote on grounds that are not> Amerioan, that do not give growth to the spirit of Americanism and that tend to separate the interest* of communi ties and perpetuate racial evils. That this constitutes a real dan ger to our democracy the crisis of the war has now demonstrated. As rapidly as possible all Americans should come to the common Amer ican tongue. Growth of Red Cross To handle the business of the Red Cross a year ago there were seventy five employes at Washington head quarters; to-day there are seven hun dred paid workers and sixty-one full time volunteers. Only forty-three of the paid workers receive in ex cess of $2,000 a year each. The highest salary is $7,500 and there are only three workers who receive as much as $6,000. In less than a year the Red Cross membership has grown from 206,077 to 2,547,412. — (From the Boston Advertiser.; The Kaiser's Mistake "E\eryono knows England is our most spiteful adversary.

What has this gali*cont her? She gained by her arms tho terri tories of Belgium, Luxemburg, Ser bia, a small but rich section of Northern France, and part of Lithuania, Poland, and Rumania a total of llttlo lees than 204,000 square mllles. She has lost: Except for an insignificant corner in Southern Africa all her colonies, more than a million square miles. Practically all her shipping not bottled up in Bremen and Hamburg, a loss estimated in tonnage as S,- €OO,OOO. Of the flower of her youth, over 2 million. In cash nearly 20 billion dollars to be added to her national debt. Before the war, though unpopular as a people, Germany was honor ed among ;11 nations for her intel lectual scholarship and her indus trial efficiency. She has lost irre trievably this respect unome of the German ] people aro seriously discussing I .-uriomr themselves the question, Mother It Is not time to change their business managers.—(From tho Outlook.) CARVING A MOUNTA HONOR THE NEARLY three years ago the proposal to memorialize the "Lost Cause" of the Confeder acy In a fitting and permanent man ner drew attention, finally,' to the possibilities of Stone mountain, near Atlanta, Ga. This mountain, strange ly prominent in contrast with the general flatness of the surrounding country, has a precipitous, Hat face 01' granite, 800 by 1,500 feet in area; und it was proposed to offer this colossal tablet to the sculptor's chisel. Gutzon Borglum was awarded the task of planning the form and de sign of the monument. The sculp tor, with an army of artists and workmen, isnow prepared to show, in varying relief, the great army of the Confederacy, moving across the face of Stone mountain, "ar ranged to meet the ideas of beauti ful grouping and display of tho forces in tho field." All the im portant Southern leaders will appear. Writing in the World's Work, Mr. Borglum describes his 4esign as fol lows: "In my exhaustive study of the best use of the mountain'for me morial purposes I reviewed Egyp tion and Greek methods of utilizing such an opportunity of carving great single figures and the use of groups and architecture, and, after consult ing with tho three or four ablest men In America, it was agreed that the northeast wall of Stone moun tain only was available for great carving, and that surface here was so extensive*' and because it burst suddenly and as a whole upon the eye of the observer, that only a work which would or could ex tend over an important part of the face should be planned, as anything else would bo too trivial. Then it was that the idea of definitely mass ing groups of men that was determ ined upon, and, following that how to group. * • • Traffic Congestion [The American City] Some facts recently published in' Service, a publication issued by the New York Railways Company, of New York City, show that in the re tail section of Fifth avenue a pedes tran can beat a taxlcab during crowd ed hours. In one instance, to go by automobile from Forty-second to Thirty-fourth street which is exactly hulf a mile, took twenty-six min utes. The Fifth Avenue Association estimates that $750,000 a day Is lost through these increasing traffic blockades. In one tabulation by the car company It was shown that from July 1 to November 30, 1916, a street car was blocked by accident, fire, vehicles on the tracks, etc., once every eight minutes. In suggesting remedies, the New York Railways Company says; "Nearly 25 per cent, of these de lays were due to wagons and auto mobiles on the tracks. • • • Without the interruption by vehicles, it is safe to say, street railway serv ice could be 25 per cent more effici ent than it is. * • • Much of the use of tra.cks occurred also when roadways on both sides were perfect ly unobstructed." Wanted: Masters For Scout*. The Boy Scouts are finding It no easy task to find enough scoutmas ters. The New York Morning Tele graph of July Hth stated that 100,- 000 were needed to look after tho rapidly growing and Increasingly efficient scout army. A similar or ganization, but quite independent and distinct, is the Woodcraft League. In her "Woodcraft Girls at Camp," Lillian Elizabeth Roy writes interestingly of this outdoor "club" and its activities. The book is published by George H. Doran Company. Enjoyed the Fight Mike was homo wounded from the front and he was stopped by a friend one day as he hobbling down the street on his newly ac quired crutches. "And how did you get on In the big battle?" asked the friend, gaz ing with compassion on the gallant soldier's useless limb. "Sure, Oi had tho toime of mo lolfe," replied Mike, decidedly. "But you BO* very bsdly knocked about," retorted the other. "Yes, Ol know that," cried Mike, enthusiastically; "but, begorra, it was the first fight I was ever In that the police fltdn't stop"—(From Tld- Bits, London.) "The carving Itself will be in full relief whenever it is necessary to so carve it to give the appearance of complete relief. Otherwise the work will be carved in simple relief, and frequently even only drawn with a chisel into ttw great wall. The moun tain has been surveyed and its face divided tnto sections. We have learn ed that our mounted men, horse and rider, must be from hat to fetlock at least fifty feet to produce tho proper effect. "The problem of engineering has been solved in a very simple way. Five hundred feet of plank steps (now complete)" are built, with four platforms at convenient intervals, extending from the top down the precipitous wall, ending directly above the carving. At this point a horizontaltrack extending the en tire length of the design is now building. On this track will run small trucks carrying hoists operat ed by electricity which let down over the work to the extent of four hun dred feet cars like elevators eight een feet square, in which the carv ers work. "The carving will be done with automatic tools in units of four carvers, and will be governed by young artists, each In charge of groups of three to four carvers, and there will be from three to five such groups working continuously until the completion of the work. Models for this work are made in the small size; they will then be made life size, and the latter will be come the working models. "The lighting of the work is ex tremely fortunate, as the wall lies northeast and southwest, presenting a half north face and receiving, be cause of Its location on the crest of the mountain, a continuous top light. The great watershed will be taken care of by top drainage, and there is no frost. As the granite weathers to a fine dull plum tone, the effect will be all that could be desired." After-War Conditions [The Bache Review] For the last two weeks the finan cial and business world has had its attention forcibly directed to the sub ject of peace, not only as to its im possibility from the present move ment and as to what changed condi tions might bring about, also as to what the ultimate effects of peace might be. Since our own entry Into (he war the enormous mobilization of funds for war purposes and the concentra tion of power to control distribution and prices of products, directly or indirectly available for war use 3, have put a somewhat different phaue upon reflections as to what after war conditions might be. As a nation outside of the war, profiting enormously by its purchas ing needs, with prices mounting up wards and inflation everywhere, a sudden cession of these activities would have left us acutely open to the unftfverable effect of falling prices and complete disappearance of demand. Bat becoming a part, and a most ectlve part of tho great aggressive campaign to save the world from subserviency, spending vast sums of our own money and contributing millions of men to carry on the war, coupled with the control of taking over by tho Government of vast In dustries and products, tho relesso from all this pressure (If continued for a long time, as It bids fair to be) might produce a very different and a favorable effect upon conditions. Aircraft Again "The extraordinary aerial and ar tillery work" of the Italians, which resulted in destroying the lines of communication and all the main food supply stations of the Austrlans, Is given as tho reason for the recent Italian success. The fact Is of es pecial Interest In the United States because wo ar,e depending on our extensive aircraft program to achieve similar results on the Western front next year. • • At present the airplane force* of the Allies are about equal to those of the enemy. Neither side is able to drive the other out of the air, blind the artillery and break up communi cations except locally. But If the United States can give the allied forces the overwhelming superiority In the air by next summer, the Ger mans will be at a very great dlsad* Mintage. Indeed, unless expert opin ion Is all *rfong. the disadvantage so created will oventually prove fatal.— Kansas City Times, ( SEPTEMBER 1, 1917; A Prayer For the Airmen Winds are thy messengers, O Qod, Clouds are the chariot of thy path; The tempest rages at thy nod, The lightnliigs gleam, when thou are wrath; And if to scale thy heav'ns abovn, Trusting in thee, thy creatures dare, * Shield them with thy protecting love, Who ride upon the viewless air.

It was Incorporated on Juno 13, of that year by a num ber of prominent residents of Harrls burg and vicinity and occupied Its clubhouse at Coxestown or Lucknow a year later. Soon after the Spanish •war Its golf links, the first in this part of the State, were laid out. The clubhouse was destroyed by Are In December, 1915, but the bowling alley and men's lockerroom were saved and have been used since. The old Luclyiow club was the scene of many delightful entertainments and Its tennis courts, baseball diamond and golf links of many a notable match, especially with the Country Club's traditional rivals, York And Lancaster, and with the golfers from Reservoir and Colonial clubs who have entered in numerous contests. When the American soldiers went abroad we were given to understand that the national government was perfecting a plan whereby people on this side could communicate with those near and dear to. them who were in Prance with a minimum of expense and annoyance and delay and that letters from tho soldiers would be facilitated in every way for the home folks.
