THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 13 Learn that to love is one way to know, Of Qod or man, it is not love re ceived That maketh man to know the inner life Of them that love him; his own love bestowed Shall do it. —JEAN INGELOW. A LOVER OF HIS STATE THE motive of a man's life is best expressed in the work accom plished whether he lives few or many years. Robert K. Young, whose death yesterday deprives Pennsylvania of a son devoted to the State and to its best development, was particularly interested in the transformation of Harrisburg from a provincial town to a modern city worthy of the seat of government of & great commonwealth. Mr. Young came of stock which contributed largely to making North ern Pennsylvania an unusual com munity because of the strength and character and patriotism of Its men who h&ve served In public station in our State for more than a century. His father served in the Legislature before him and was later identified with the banking interests of West ern Pennsylvania. As 'egislator, counsel for the Capitol Building Commission, Auditor General and State Treasurer, this favorite son of Tioga county, gave to his native State service of a high type. He was not always in 'harmony with the • political party with which he was identified throughout his life, but he never allowed partisan differences to affect in the slightest degree his duty In any of the important places which he occupied. We know of no Pennsylvanian who gave to his native State a larger measure of devotion. He loved its ' hills and valleys and took great de light on all occasions in pointing out the achievements of its people and in telling the best traditions ot the Commonwealth. His death was di rectly the result of a pursuit of that outdoor life which from childhood appealed to him and to many of thos e associated with him. He will be greatly missed here in Harrisburg where he was In a way an adopted citizen. He gave of his best efforts during his official service in the de velopment of the Capitol Park ex tension area and the promotion of the comprehensive plans which are now to be carried out by the Com monwealth and the municipality. A GOOD PLAN AUDITOR GENERAL SNYDER IS about to formulate a complete and detailed directory of all the employes of the State, to be placed on file at the Capitol for the in formation of the public. The men who work for the State are the servants of the people and full data concerning their number, their duties, their salaries and other statistics of the kind should be constantly on file. Auditor General Snyder needs this Information for his own guidance as well. He is responsible for the sign- In* of the payrolls and he Is well within his rights and will have public approval In making sure that in all cases the mon.ey Is being properly expended. CREDBT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE SENATOR PENROES, after giv ing months of the hardest kind of labor to the preparation of the great war revenue measure at Washington, is now one of the con ferees on the part of the Senate to adjust the differences on this meas ure between the two branches of Congress. His political enemies take great delight In criticising Senator Pen rose for his alleged partisan activi ties, but they never mention the great good which he has been doing in supporting the government and aiding In the preparation of the nec essary things for the country's de fense In this crisis. Senator Penrose makes no pre tense of being other than a stalwart Republican, but he has placed his country above party when his critics were playing the polltloal game from THURSDAY EVENING, start to finish. It Is well in these confused and stressful times to give credit where credit is due. THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL Tr is not difficult to understand why the sentiment of the School Board is gradually swinging around toward the North street civic center site for the new girls' high school building. The only matter for won derment Is that there ever should have been a division of opinion. The North street location, all things con sidered. Is the only one for the pur pose. Whatever of additional expense Is involved in the North street plot will be more than saved by the reduction In car fare for the pupils who must go to and from the building dally. There Is also the pledge of the School Board that the new school shall be erected between the river and the railroad below Brlggs street, the ful fillment of which unquestionably would place the school on the civic center plot. There is also to be taken into con sideration the fact that many high school girls are leaving study before graduation because of the over crowded condition of the Central High School and the long flights of steps to be traversed _ many times a day. A building situated on the Front street property would have to be a three-story structure, embody ing many of the objections of the Forster street structure. TIME TO MOVE SINCE the beginning of war with Germany there has been a growing antagonism to the activities of the German newspapers in the United States. papers have presumed upon the good na ture of the American people and their seditious utterances have been allowed to go unpunished until quite recently. Now the government real izes that this sort of treason must be stopped and steps are being taken to that end. For years there has been a ten dency throughout the country to make special grants to newspapers printed In foreign languages. Our own Legislature has time after time passed laws for legal and other ad vertising to be inserted in German newspapers, thus encouraging the German habit 6f mind and thought in this way. It would seem to be time now to take definite steps to repeal all such laws and to encourage those who desire to live in America to speak the common language of the people. Many of the Intrigues of the war period are traceable to the utterances end the scheming of groups of men using these papers and magazines for their propaganda. The time has long since passed when it was neces sary to publish legal or other advsr tising in foreign language here. A great step forward will be taken In Americanization plans when the country is rid of all such publica tions. So long as aliens are permit ted to continue their allegiance to a foreign country there will be less likelihood of a proper amalgama tion of our composite population. The aim of the educational forces of the country should be to concentrate the minds of foreign-bqpn people here upon our own language and customs. Much of the dangerous 4>roga panda that has given the government serious trouble in the last few months could have been suppressed through the abolition of the newspapers and magazines and literature published in foreign languages here. Those aliens or sympathizers with the Kaiser who believe that nothing in this country is half so good as the institutions and life of the father land should be given to understand that, notwithstahding the submarine menace, there are still ways to cross the ocean and return to the country whence they camo and which they hold superior to the country which has provided them a haven and a living. It is time to teach all such persons that their room is prefer able to their company and that un less they can harmonize their views with American views they should mova on delay. RUSSIAN PRESS REPORTS SOME weeks ago A. J. Sack, staff correspondent of the official publications of 'the Russian Ministry of Finance and Petrogiad Telegraph agency in this country, made an address at a luncheon meet ing before our own Chamber of Com merce. On that occasion ha criti cised quite sharply the American newspaper correspondents In Russia who were not representing fairly In their press dispatches tffe conditions in the former realm of the Csar. The other day Mr. Slack was speak ing before the Advertising Club bf New York and again censured the various American correspondents for their misrepresentation of present conditions In Russia. "If I were to repbrt to Russian pa pers only the activities of I. W. W.'s and Sinn Felners and Pacifists, America would acquire the same reputation in Russia that Russia now has among Americans," Mr. Slack. He Insisted that news of dls seslons and uprisings were reported, to the exclusion of co-operative, con- structlve movements, and expresaed the belief that only when correspond ents realize their responsibilities and shun the dangers of sensation alism will tho evil bfr corrected. Conditions In Russia are bad enough without creating a wrong im pression in this country through sen sational and Inaccurate statements of those who ought to be in position properly to Interpret the various movements In the baby republic. In view of the statement of Mr. Slack we must take with some grains of allowance the lurid stories which aro now, coming out of Russia, unless they have tho stamp of the Asso ciated Press or some equally re sponsible news gathering agency. MORAL PURPOSE THE COMMONWEALTHBR, A bright little publication Issued by the Commonwealth Steel Company for its employes, presents on its first page the following quo tation from a speech by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker that will bear the careful study of every American: Some day we will learn in this world that the moral forces at large in it are really its govern ment, and that the physical and material efforts of men, unless in spired by and infused with moral purposes, cannot prevail. It is for the extension of this kind of government throughout the world that America is fighting. It is for a fuller realization of this kind of gov ernment in our country that every good citizen is striving. Until every man shall ask himself or his neigh bor, "is it right?" before engaging upon any enterprise society will have its shortcomings and evil will pre vail, and since government is seldom, if ever, better than those who call It into being and maintain it, so our government will lack perfection so long as the "physical and material efforts of men" lack moral purpose. It all comes back to the individual. By the Ex-Committeeman It is a rather singular coincidence and one much .commented upon by men active in politics in Pennsylva nia that within the last three months three of the men largely identified with tho political history of this gen eration in the Keystone State have passed away. They were Secretary of Internal Affairs Henry Houck, Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew art and Commissioner Robert K. \ oung. All played notable parts. In fact, there are scarcely three men connected with the State government who have been more in the public eye. The sudden death of General Stew art and the fatal ending of the acci dent to Mr. Young are much com mented upon in the State. Their fu neral services on will draw together many noted men. Governor Brumbaugh is returning tOsthe State to pay his last tribute to these two officials. ' * —Saturday will be the last regis tration day in all cities of the Com monwealth and determined efforts are being made in all of the three classes of cities to get the list as large as possible. In Philadelphia the ward contests have given a stimulus which was not expected and in Pitts burgh the doorbell pulling st&ge has been reached. —The campaigns for municipal nominations in virtually every coun ty have turned into regular cam paigns and speeches and even pa rades have taken place. The noon day meeting is flourishing as much as in November. —Friends of Governor Brumbaugh say that he will not consider any new appointments to State offices of any kind until after the week of the primary. This will include judges. —The report of retirement of Chief of Mines Roderick, which was current early in the week has been given impetus by talk heard in the anthracite region. —Auditor General Charles A. Sny der returned to the Capitol to-day after attending a prolonged murder trial. He said that he had no changes in sight. —The Philadelphia Public Ledger prints this interesting paragraph from Greensburg: "Brigadier Gener al Richard Coulter, commander of the Eighty-flrst Division, has return ed from Camp Fremont, Palo Alto, Cal., where he had been ordered to report. Later orders put his camp location in North Carolirja and Gen eral Coulter is in Greensburg to spend a few days with his family here. He was formerly colonel of the Tenth Regiment, with headquarters in Greensburg. A persistent effort is being made by some of the Demo cratic leaders of the State to have General Coulter become the Demo cratic candidate for Governor. He has not committed himself on the question of politics, although he is a member of one of the oldest Demo cratic families in this country and has always been a supporter of the party." —Visits of Democratic sleuths about the State are said to be with the idea of getting the contributing end of the party in good shape for next year. The Democratic advance men have been busy under the guise of sounding sentiment in ascertain ing who is making money. • —Mayor Smith has taken the posi tion that Fifth warders in Philadel phia are getting too hot. He says they should keep cool. —The Philadelphia Ledger Is out with an editorial appeal for re-elec tion of the judges on the bench and a strong movement for them has been started. , —Rumors of a "big offensive" be ing planned by candidates in Pitts burgh are floating about. —The Cheater county controller fight is about as vigorous as the Montgomery battle Is tame. Charges and counter charges about political moves are heard. WOMEN IN CIVIL WAR Farm and Fireside SRys: "Women all over the United States formed societies and made bandages and comforts of various kinds for the soldiers, but their too, lacked the direction and uniformity which are necessary for prompt and effective assistance. *ln the Civil War, country women were especially generous In contributing time and labor to the cause of helping the sick and wounded. In many in stances the men were not given enough green food, and farmers con tributed potatoes and fresh vege tables In large quantities, which fre -1 quently saved a camp from scurvy land other diseases." nXHRISBTTRG fjfJSBIJI TELEGRAPH THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT ♦ By Briggs —\NISHING' THE School-^' 1 'S.

NEWSPAPER PROBLEMS Writing of the newsprint situation and the economic burdens placed upon the newspapers of the country by the war, an expert gives these views to the Fourth Estate:" "Since the beginning of the pres ent war the spirit of conflict has been generally manifest. The contro versy which has been so prominent between the newspaper publishers and the manufacturers of newsprint almost reaches a point of open strife. "The movement towards the in crease in the price of the dally news paper has become general. In most of all the large cities the price of the daily has been increased. This has been done most advantageously. "Naturally increasing the price of newspapers will necessitate a falling off in point of circulation. This fall ing off, however, will not lessen but should strengthen, the selling force of the newspaper to advertisers. The increase in price eliminating "cir culation duplication" will bring about a thorough concentration of reading thought upon the preferable newspaper. "Facing the situation as it now presents itself, taking into careful consideration the increase in tho second-class postage rate, it cer tainly looks like a financial neces sity, not only to increase the selling price of newspapers but to economize as largely as possible in the use of newsprint." FOR SAKE OF PEACE For the sake of peace, he shut his eyes To infamy and scarlet wrong, Was deaf unto a woman's cries For help against a demon strong. And for tho sake of peace, he stood And let the base destroy the good. For the sake of peace he sold his soul And compromised with sin and shame Let lechery demand its toll, And beasts the word of God de fame. By smiling back at every vice He purchased peace. But what a price! ■—Detroit Free Press TAKING NO CHANCES Vive-President Marshall, shortly before Congress adjourned, was ac costed by two photographers aa he approached the Capitol. "Look this way," said one of photograph ers. "Look right into thie lens," said the other. Marshall looked from one to the other. "Hold on," he said, "You fellows ever hear of the cross eyed butcher who was about to kill a steer? He had persuaded a hang er-on about the place to hold the steer while he hit it between the eyi.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM MOTHERS OF SOLDIERS To the Editor of the Telegraph: Your announcement in -the Tele graph of September 10th, to enter tain th,e mothers of soldier boys a performance of the "White Feather" is not only generous and considerate, it is timely. Permit me to make a few sugges tions because recently I've been pass ing through the experience of being a soldier boy's mother and the prob lem it presents and the Jessons I'm learning are immense and invalu able. I feel like I have jumped from common denominators to calculus. Soldier boys' mothers need diversion and I congratulate the thoughtful ness of the Telegraph, but soldier boys' mothers need to learn how to think —to think rightly. Could not the occasion be made a means of appeal to these mothers to think in an effort to correct their thinking und help the boys win this war? At least let us not be a hindering cause. My employment brings me in con tact with many mothers—and many women not mothers. The expres sions I hear of pity, regret, doubt and fear concerning their going to war, the mental pictures they paint of disaster, injury, suffering, misery, etc., undoubtedly handicap these lads and attract to him the very thing we would have him avoid. To be sure we suffer the loss of his companionship—his helpfulness. We miss him everywhere, but our joys and pleasures are a small item when a sreat issue is at stake. If this war means anything, it means the coming together of two forces, the one good, the other evil, LOAN POSTERS Contracts for four million posters in eight designs and five hundred thousand window cards in one de sign for use in the Second Liberty Loan campaign have been awarded by the Treasury Department. Seven posters will be half sheets. One poster will be 36 by 4 8 inches. The window card will be approximately 11 by 14 Inches. The first designs represent Uncle fera pointing to khaki-clad soldiers, warships and aeroplanes in back of him. The inscription Is a quotation from one of Secretary McAdoo's speeches: "Shall we be more tender with our dollars that with the lives of our sons?" Tho second design represents the Statue of Liberty at sunrise. The sky is a reyrodution of the flag. Tho inscription reads: "Before Sunset Buy a Liberty Bond." The third design shows the old Liberty Bell and the inscription is: "Ring it Again." The, fourth design represents a soldier and sailor with clasped hands under the American Flag. The fifth represents two little chil dren with the quotation: "My daddy is lighting at the front for you. Back him up by buying a Liberty Bond." The sixth design is a bronze tablet effect with a picture of President Wilson and the American shield. It bears this quotation from President Wilson's speeches: "The time has come to conquer or submit. There is but one choice and we have made it." The seventh design contains a large picture of the Treasury Build ing with the inscription: "Lend your money to your government." The eighth design shows an im migrant ship arriving in New York harbor, giving passengers their first view of the Statue of Liberty. ETis Island and the tall buildings of New York loom up in the foreground. The ninth design, a window card, is a bronze tablet effect, with tho wording: "Second Liberty Loan of 1917. Buy a Bond." PAPERS MAY QUIT The high cost of materials is going to put a number of the Harvard Col lege student publications out of busi ness. The Harvard Illustrated, which for more than ten years has been issued every two weeks, has left its quar ters and is temporarily without a home. This magazine may decide to suspend publication for the next year. The Harvard Lampoon, the college comic paper, and the Harvard Crim son, the daily newspaper, are both sure to print their editions reKularly, but they may raise their subscrip tion rates to cover the added cost of paper. Two other magazines, the Advo cate'and Monthly, are on the uncer tain list. The Monthly ceased pub lication temporarily Just before the close of the last college year. the one constructive, the other de structive, the one Democracy, the other Autocracy. There are seen and unseen forces. Let the unseen forces of our thoughts be arrayed on the side of good. If the boys watch their step let the mothers watch their thought. Appeal to every mother to know that every thought of pity, doubt or fear ahe sends out or associates with her sol dier boy is a hindrance to him, is throwing the weight of battle to evil, is distructive and only counts on the kulture side—the side that says "might is right." Make this occasion a help to the mother by showing her that every thought of courage, health, strength, right, justice—happiness she sends her boy helps swing the scales on the side of good and protects hira with a force bullets cannot pene trate. Then Mr. Editor—lf you want to be a real, very real help to mothers of soldier boys, follow up with a little space in your paper where slie can daily find some helpful thought of courage to direct her aright in thinking of her boy that she may not hinder, but help him. Give her a little insignia that will remind her that she has 'given her sons gladly and that she herself is entitled to overthrow evil by being a constructive builder in her own consciousness. I thank you Mr. Editor for your thoughtfulness. * A MOTHER. Editor's Note —This letter was not written for publication, but it is so very good that the TELEGRAPH feels it should be placed before every mother who has a son at the front. PIGEON PROFITS In the September Farm and Fire side, a writer says: "High cost of grain is not disturb ing the large squab producers. Feed for a pair of breeders costs under Atlantic Coast States conditions $1.50 to $1.75 a year. The cost is some what less in the West. The large pigeon farms, however, are gettihg the highest squab prices in their his tory, market returns of $6 a dozen being frequent. These farms aver age six to nine pairs of squabs annu ally for every pair of bre'eders kept. "Large squab farms have passed the experimental stage and are a proved success. Equipment, feed, labor and selling costs are accurate ly calculated. The larger the flock the larger the profit, with pigeons. "On a farm under the writer's ob servation, carrying about 2,000 pairs of breeders, all labor is done by one man on six days of the week. On Monday half a dozen hands help him to kill squabs and pack them foi market. Produced within half a mile of* an Atlantic tidewater. these squabs go direct to the Chicago ho* ! tel where consumed. Thus the farm reeps tho additional profit which Is ordinarily the middleman's. Hens are kept on this farm, but they are i not nearly as profitable as tho pig eons." y PENSION FOR WIDOW All record* were probably broken in the matter of securing pensions when Congressman BenJ. K. Kocht, of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania dis trict, was advised of the favorable action on the case of Mrs. Mary Allen, of Millerstown, which had been repeatedly rejected. By his energetic action In the case it was finally disclosed that the veteran for whose widow he sought a pension had been repeatedly reported a de serter, but continued research at the War Department urged by the Congressman, Anally revealed the fact that the soldier had well served his country, but by a confusion of names got on the deserter's list, and until his death this Civil (War veteran was compelled to endure the odium following such a designation, besides being denied a pension. His widow will now receive approximately MOOO back pay due her, and |2O per month after reaching the age of 70 years, also an allowance for the car* of five children until they were 16 years old. White Congressman f'ocht has a reputation here for diligent activity in securing results In looking after the Interest of his constituents, In this lnstanco he probably excelled any previous record made by himself or any other Congressman with re spect to securing? Justice for soldiers and their widows. The total amount of pension al lowed Mrs. Allen is 13,64,1.13, which •he has already received- SEPTEMBER 13, 1917.
