FROM THE OUTSIDE IN SENATOR UNDERWOOD, of Ala bama, in whose name the pro posal to curtail debate in the i Senate was submitted to his col- i leagues, denied that President Wilson ! had anything to do with the proposed j rules. He added, however, that the [ President, "as an outsider," was heartily in favor of it. It so happens that the President' of the United States cannot view anything relating to public business from the standpoint of "an outsider." j It is doubtful, indeed, if there is any matter in which the President cam act as "an outsider." Whatever he does, even when he goes golfing or to the theater, Jie acts as President, his ; movements are followed and noted and published broadcast. His views on any subject are not those of "an outsider." They are those of a man at the very center of things, of a man who has gathered to himself the largest powers ever exercised by an indivi-, dual. He cannot maintain a separate : personality if he wishes to do so I Whatever he does is Presidential and in the widest sense official. To pre tend otherwise Is——camouflage. Senator Beidleman's suggestion of ; legislation looking to a wider measure of home rule for all cities of the , third class has found a responsive | echo in every progressive com- j munity. It ought to be the business of somebody to prepare the right kind of bill on this subject for sub- I mission to the next session of the i . Legislature. REAL AMERICANISM FORMER Governor Edwin S. Stuart recently made an ad- j dress in Philadelphia at a cele- : bation of the birthday anniversary of Stephen Girard which was so full of good American sense and patriotic inspiration that it would be a fine thing if all the schools and organ izations devoted to the Americaniza tion of our alien population could have a copy. With the founder of Girard Col lege as a text, the former Governor dwelt upon his life motive and the great good which follows a consist- ! ent and persistent determination to be of use not only to his own gen eration. but to all jvho came after. Girard College, as the ex-Governor pointed out, is a noble monument to an unselfish life. "If Girard Col lege ceased to exist now" said he, "Girard would have done more in the way of training fatherless boys in the struggles of life and for good citizenship and for the general wel- j fare of posterity with the wealth he acquired than any other American citizen, but this college will live and continue its good work indefinitely." Again the Telegraph feels impelled to emphasize the importance of do ing things while we have the op portunity, the inclination and the ability. Girard kept his mind and heart upon a definite objective throughout his life and his achieve ments stand out as Justification of a definite purpose in the overcoming of obstacles which confront the average person. We sometimes hear men say that they are too busy to interest themselves in the welfare of their fellow men and when the sands of life have almost passed out they endeavor to achieve through post-mortem provision what might just as well have been accomplished under their own eye and their own personal direction. Referring to this phase of the average human conception of duty, as illustrated in the life of Girard, the former Governor said: "His life was a busy one, but notwithstanding his multifarious business affairs he found time to attend faithfully and ef fectually to his duties as a citizen and did more for his city, his state, Ills country and humanity than any other man of his period." Girard became a free citizen of Pennsylvania ten years before Wash ington was Inaugurated as president It was an expression of his desire to b considered an American. He pished to emphasize the fact that'. FRIDAY EVENING. he considered America his country. J "for it was the only one that ever j had, could or did give him the op portunity to accomplish the object he must have had in mind from al most the beginning of his successful business career." The Stuart address is a fine lesson which should be learned by every alien-born man. woman or child who comes to this country as a place of ; refuge and opportunity. In the forthcoming Fourth of July celebra tion here we are going to emphasize the scope and meaning of the Amer- 1 icanizatlon movement in this coun try to the end that those who come to us from other lands may realize their own obligations, as well as learn to appreciate the real attitude of the average American citizen toward them. On this point the former ' Governor, discussing the obligation of the foreign-born citizen, said: The American citizen, whether by birth or naturalization, who is not loyal to the United States, in thought, speech and action, or who may become associated di rectly or indirectly with any propaganda whose purpose is to aid the enemies of the United I States in this crucial conflict in which we are engaged, is a traitor , and should be punished to the full extent of the law. Men or ( women of that class are stabbing in the back every American sol dier and sailor who is fighting to perpetuate the liberty of which they are the beneficiaries. There is no more patriotic citizen in Pennsylvania than the former dis tinguished Governor, who has on many occasions given expression to ' the most lofty sentiments of patri otism and duty. More power to him. A DEMOCRATIC JOB T' HE tornadoes which have re cently swept over lowa and Kansas, destroying property and ■ taking their tolls of human life, call for action by Congress. As a war measure, in order to .co-ordinate all the forces of the nation and to the end that the administration shall not be hampered In any of its plans for the conduct of the war, a bill should be enacted at once which will pro vide for a tornado administrator, who shall have suitable offices in the city of Washington, with the cus tomary staff of assistants and clerks, and whose duty it shall be to fix and limit the operation of tornadoes and other destructive storms. We make this suggestion in all seriousness. If the laws of economic action may be set aside and nullified by administrative action, as has so often been attempted under the plea of war necessity, it should be Quite as easy to regulate and control the laws of nature. Production in industry proceeds along established lines of supply and demand, a law as immutable as any which the ancient Medes and Per-, sians ever enacted; yet we have seen the attempt made to fix prices of all staples and necessities —with consequent confusion in the lines which have been affected. Tornadoes arise because of varia tions in barometric pressure—so why not regulate barometric pressure by administrative fiat? Legislation of this kind would be all of a piece with some that we have had recently. HYPOCRITE & MURDERER THE Kaiser's official press agent, paid to camouflage the Berlin Beast to look like an angel of mercy, writing for the Lokal Anzeiger, of Berlin, says Wilhelm was deeply interested in caring for two British soldiers In a German hospital recently and quotes him as saying: When the enemy is beaten we must care for him with all the power and means given to us. A beaten enemy is no longer an enemv for us. If those over yon der think and act otherwise that is their affair. We Germans will preserve our conception of Chris tian duty toward the ill and wounded. , While waging war we will also treat those wounded in battle so that when this terrible business is over and men again extend their hand to one another, we may be able to recall with a clear consci ence and without remorse every day and every act of these hard times. How about the babies of the Lusi tania? What about the women of Bel gium? Why was Edith Cavill murdered by the merciful Wilhelm's com mand? "What of the starving non-com batants of Northern France? How about the tubercular pris oners starving In German prison pens? Who gave the orders that have taken thousands of men and women into worse than slavery and doomed countless children to early graves? Who was it that turned innocent maidens over to the tender mercies of whole companies of corrupt Ger man soldiers? None other than Bill the Beast. The sort of tommyrot quoted may be swallowed by the German people, but the allies know the Kaiser for the hound of hell he is. and they mean to make Jiim pay the price for his crimes, in so far as It is possible for human agencies to exact punish ment for misdeeds beyond the imag ination of those who compiled our criminal code. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR THE coming of the Countess de Bryas to Harrisburg brings to the city not only a distinguished woman but one who has done great and Important work for the restora tion of devastated France. The Countess will speak here on condi tions In France, in which Harrisburg people are intensely interested, and her work for the past year under French military authority in the In vaded region has given her a fund of first-hand information such as few people now in America have. She lived among the refugees and ac complished such splendid results ii. rehabilitating the destitute families that General Petain wrote her a let ter of commendation. Her addresses here, no doubt, •will be heard by .very large audiences. CT title* U It is becoming very evident that Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, the Democratic nominee for Governor, not only intends to conduct his own campaign In an attitude of distrust of the regular organization of his party, but If possible to give the Palmer-McCormick reorganization faction a dose of its own medicine. He is getting ready to lay the blame for his own Impending defeat and the slaughter of Democratic candi dates for Congress and the Legis lative upon the banded bosses who have been running the party ma chine and dividing the federal patronage pie the last half dozen years. • About every four years, generally two years in advance of a Presi dential election, there is an upheaval in the Democratic party in Pennsyl vania This is due to the fact that men see a chance to get patronage. It was what Impelled Colonel J. M. Guffey to plan the rout of the Har rity machine whereby he became leader for years and was ilikewlse behind the 1911 schemes of A. Mitchell Palmer and Vance C. Mc- Cormlck, now national committee man and national chairman of the Democracy respectively. Now Bonni well and Brennen and other leaders are working to overthrow the present bosses so as to be in good shape for 1920. Men with a machine can al ways make deals with Democrats at Washington and without an effective home organization the Influence of Palmer and McCormick will soon wane in national councils. And it would seem as though Pal mer and his pals are right In the po sition where their enemies have been trying for four years to get them. McCormick bolted the nominee of his party for Mayor of Harrisburg and Governor of Pennsylvania when without official position in his party. Now he is national chairman and the man nominated by the Democratc voters of Pennsylvania for Governor is not the candidate he wanted. Moreover, this candidate operfy de clares his distrust and right on the eve of a campaign in which defeat is certain and in which there will be plenty of opportunities to make capital. —The manner in which newspa pers controlled by or in sympathy with the McCormiek machine treat Judge Bonni well's flouting of his party's highest council and his asser tion that to be safe he must run his own campaign for governor is indica tive of the hole in which they are placed. They have been uncomfort able ever since the morning of May 22 when they realized that the Democrats of the state had refused to accept the candidate of the Pal mer-McCormick machine for gover nor and now they have a first class row on sn their party in the face of harmony and united efforts among Republicans, whom they have been doing their best to split. The Har risburg Patriot praises the Dauphin county state committeemen for re fusing to heed the formal request of the Dauphin county Democratic committee and the Harrisburg city committee to support the candidate for governor in his desire for con trol of the works, and sidesteps in characteristic fashion the situation in the state-at-large. The Phila delphia Record attacks the Palmer- McCormick leadership as destruc-' tive and the Pittsburgh Post and ether Democratic papers are taking their medicine like regular party V "" /wu. 8e \AjRe i w* j.

CHIPS FROM THE AX A cord of hardwood has a fuel value equal to two-thirds of a ton of hard coal. Stumps should be cut as low as possible to avoid waste and save future trouble. All wood large enough to be made into stove wood should be used. Split wood small enough so that one man can load it on a wagon. Pine should be split smaller than hardwood so that it may dry out quickly. Hardwood burns fairly; Well even when green. In cutting original growth forests, i utilize old trees which are not fit for i lumber. Cut small trees of the poorer spe-1 cies. Cut all dead, diseased, dead-topped • and otherwise inferior material. The wood lot will be the better for ; the removal of old trees which have j stopped making growth, and of scarred trees and stunted growths. j Leave trees that are more valua- j ble for lumber, ties, or other salable I products than they are for cordwood. ! Leave your thrifty trees of the; better species below ten inches in! diameter for the future crop. Pile wood so that air can circulate ; freely through the pile.

Incredible as It May Seem [From the Kansas City Star.] Remarkable circumstances in a Kansas City store yesterday.

The newspaper cites the opinion of its correspondent on the Italian front that no enemy offensive up to this time has begun so badly, and adds: "There is strong ground for believ ing that an enemy failure is immi nent." The opinion is expressed by sev eral papers that there is a direct connection between the initiation of the offensive and internal conditions in Austria-Hungary. The Daily Ex press describes it as "a gambler's throw, the most desperate that the IS YOUR LIFE A HARD ONE Do y®u people at home feel at times that this war has made your life pretty hard? Read what an American correspondent writes about cne of our boys who had'been doing his duty: "In a little field hospital west of Montdidier I stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one of those victims of the German mustard gas, with which the Huns are making all their present gains. His eyes were matted with yellow pus and he could not see. His face was terribly burned. His lips were swollen and purple. His whole body had been turned the color of an Indian, and i portions of It looked like melted flesh, as though it had been liquefied. "The fighting had been renewed all along the American lines, and German wounded had begun com ing into our hospitals. I s*d to this soldier: " 'The boys are getting their re venge for you fellows to-night-' He smiled through his seared lips, and in a voice so faint that I had to bend down to listen, he gasped, 'God! I wish I was back there with 'em!' " Do you still think your life a hard one? Help support that boy and the hundreds of thousands of others doing their duty. Buy War Savings Stamps to the limit of your capacity. M'ADOO AND W. S. S. Patriotic citizens who remain at | home are reminded by Secretary McAdoo, in a statement issued, that the fighting man must have food, clothing and arms and that the pur chase of War Savings Stamps offers j direct aid. The appeal Is to all Amer icans. who are asked to buy all the | stamps they can during the cam paign now in progress. It says: "Over eight hundred thousand of j America's sons are already on the ! fields of France, where the bloodiest i attacks of all history are raging. 1 They are suffering and dying for us at home. They are giving their lives freely and heroically to save Ameri ca and the liberties of mankind. They need food, clothing and arms. Everyone who buys War Savings Stamps or signs a pledge to save and buy these stamps over a period of time helps himself and helps di rectly every American hero in France. "It is the least each patriot can do to enable our gallant boys to fight victoriously or to die gloriously in the cause of humanity and lib erty? Let no one who genuinely loves America and wants to serve fail to enlist in the great army of war sav ers during the period ending June 28, 1918." ALL ENGLISH [Girard in the Phila. Telegraph] Alfred Noyes, the English poet, who is now a Princeton professor, inquires: "Will you find any Bernstorffs or Hlndenburgs among the names signed to the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution of the United States?" Then he answers his own ques tion: j 'Every name appended to your Constitution was made In Britain." True enough! The names that flash to everyone's mind when think ing of the Declaration and the Con stitution are Washington. Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Morris, Hamilton, Rutledge, Livingston—all thoroughly British. The German colony at Philadel phia had been planted one hundred years when our Constitution was made In Philadelphia, but no Ger man helped make It. war has seen," while The Times de clares it is "a desperate attempt to keep lip the waning spirits of such elements of the population as still remain faithful to the established institutions of the Austro-Hungarian state." The Daily Mail and others predict that an Austrian failure to gain a decision will have serious internal effects. Germany's hand generally is seen behind the move. The Daily News believes that it is an offensive "imposed by Germany on an ally which long ceased to have any part in the struggle, and which is sink ing to a condition of internal dis integration and despair." The Daily Mail says: "It can hardly escape the Austrian peoples that they are being driven to slaughter for the profit of Germany." RUSSIA'S HARI-KIRI (E. J. Dillon In the July Yale Re-1 view.) What Germany's strenuous efforts were unabl eto effect was accom plished by Russia's unexpected hara kiri. The bond uniting the various nationalities civilizations, peoples and religions of the Tsardom being cut, the empire fell to pieces at the feet of the Teuton Invader. Some of Its ethnic elements, like the Finns and the Ukrainians, actuated by na-1 tlonal Impotence or political simple mindedness, donned the Teuton livery I and became willing tools in the! hands of the kaiser's ministers. The results of their service, if allowed to stand, will cut deep into the vital interests of European nations. The Ukraine bars Russia proper from the Black Sea and the Mediterran ean; Finland and the Baltic prov inces sunder her from the Baltic; and if Germany should egg on her Turanian agents, the Finns, to seize and keep the port of Kem on the White Sea, the new Murman railway and the ice free port of Yekaterina in Russian Lapland, nothing would i thenceforth remain of our great Slav ally but a poor community of benighted rustic Marxists of no fur ther account in the current political history of Europe or the world. To this mutilated entity one might aptly restore the old designation "Mus covy." Severed from the sea, bereft of mineral wealth, incapable of rais ing and maintaining a powerful rray, its ulterior fate would become a matter of interest only to lovers of the sentimental. THE MAKERS OF WEALTH [From Farm Life] Food is "the real wealth, and money merely the counters of ex change," declares an epigram maker in our national food department. And the producers of food are the creators of the nation's wealth. It took a world war, with its consequent threat of famine, to make us realize this important fact. Politicians and others have been in the habit of saying "the farmer is the backbone of the nation," but nobody really believed It. At least, nobody acted as If he believed It— not even the farmer himself. The farmer's response to the war needs of the nation has been prompt and patriotic. He has not held back because his profits were restricted, and his growing sense of power brings with it an admission of greater responsibility. SONG TO A SOLDIER Spring is gone, and summer's here. They're bringing up the hay, Soon they will be harvesting, And my love's still away. I see the apples reddening. And yellow burns the wheat. Lovers sit in summer's heart And sing to summer's beat. But my love's still away! He lies there, he cries there,' I hear him night and day; J cannot hear the birds sing. For my love's still away. I'll not go through the clover field. Along the Foxglove wood, Nor climb the ash on Chapel hill We climbed In happier mood. For my love's still away! . , . O summer lanes, O summer fields That smell so sweet of hay. When this is done and Truth is won— I Though my love's still away— May happier lovers love here Where I so lonely tread. And build thy shining city. Love, Over our darling dead. . . . Though my love's still away! j —lrene McLeod, in Yale Review. JUNE 21,1918. LABOR NOTES International Brotherhood of Book binders will convene at Kansas City on June 10. There are two union telegraph operators in Congress—Cary, of Wis consin, and Key, of Ohio. Alberta (Can.) mine workers are asking that during idle periods in stead of a flat rate of $lO a week they get 66 2-3 per cent, of their wages. Butchers, meat cutters and pack ing house employes in the plants in Vancouver, B. C., and New West minster demanded a further increase in wages. , The Street Committee of London, England, has granted a bonus to all its outside employes until the close of the war, which will amount to $40,000 per annum. Canadian letter carriers have made every effort possible to obtain a liv ing wage from the Dominion Govern ment, but up to date have failed. Toronto painters, decorators end paperhangers will admit returned soldiers to the union at half price. The Trades Congress of Canada's annual convention will be held in the city of Quebec commencing Sep tember 16. Six big New York technical high schools are to be turned over to the government for training mechanics. Syracuse (N. Y.) local of book binders is conducting an organization campaign which includes bindery women. Public school women teachers in Collingwood, Canada, are asking that the maximum salary be increased to SBOO per annum. I OUR DAILY LAUGH I ") J A SLACKER. ' 'l/~r — Pa, what Is a slacker?

The war con ditions the accompanying heavy draft of labor, especially, have fol lowed up what was begun by the In troduction of intensive agriculture in the way of reducing acreage de voted to crops. There are some w^ ms ' n *hls s ®ctlon which are over .'OO acres in size and of which only two-thirds are being cultivated, some of the farms are In woodlots and some are covered with brush. The rest are being allowed to lie fallow, trusting to the time when there will be men and horses or tractors to plow and cultivate It. Fortunately, some have been pro ductive of good hay crops, which have yielded a fine return and there is a disposition to put them in clover or alfalfa. The latter crop has grown in favor in this section and there are scores of acres grow ing it where it was unknown not so many years ago. But the plan of the farm bureaus to encourage sheepraising and even to get farm ers' financial help may be a still bet ter means of using the land which cannot be farmed. Wool and mutton are both up in price and the outlav for sheep Is comparatively small. If it is managed right. Years ago this county had many flocks of sheep and Cumberland and Perrv were noted for the wool clip. The land In these three counties is well adapted to the intensive style of agriculture and to sheepraising. • • • J' Mark Twain were to come to Harrisburg, he would characterize the notice on a certain restaurant menu, as coming within the bounds °l " En^lish as she is writ." While the notice tries to express acquies cence with the Food Administration ruling. It is hard for the untutored reader to grasp the entire meaning. This is the wording of the notice: According to the new instructions from the Food Administration for two oz. of wheat products to each person al each meal which includes bread, pastries, etc. We suggest while already having two oz. of bread which covers two oz. of wheat prod uct then in place of pie or short cake to order fruit which is plentiful, pudding or ice cream. Let us all join hands together and assist the Food Administration. Thank you!" • Speaking of music it is interesting to state just what some of the men who are arranging the parade are going through. The chairman of the committee on bands, realizing that the committee had not been named until late, got into action immediate ly after he was appointed and ad dressed about 100 bands. He found all but eight or ten alreadv dated up Fortunately, Harrisburg has some excellent bands and there are good organizations in the vicinity so that we can get along with bands wide apart in a great marching pageant even though we may not have all we want. • • • "Is a progressive luncheon beat ing the food administration?" was the question fired yesterday by one man to a group of men whom he - had seen come out of one eating place and go into another. "Well, we ate lunch there and we came here for pie." replied one "You see, some places have better things than others, that is of certain kinds," was the explanation of No. 2. "We only took bread in one place and we did not eat any meat," was the alibi of the third. The fact is that there are some | men who will eat a sandwich in one I place and go eat dessert in another | and maybe take ice cream at a third. , It's a matter of fancy and some have i been doing it for years. 1* • • A new food trick is the messenger , boy sandwich. A man buys a sand wich at a restaurant and goes back to his place of business and then If he gets a chance has some one, pre ferably a messenger, go to a restaur ant' and buy him another sandwich. "Getting down to one sandwich is something we would all be glad to do" declared a man who likes to eat, "but Brother Don McCormick ought to remember that they have reduc ed the sandwiches fifty per cent. In circumference, diameter, cover and middle and that the price stays up." This observation was all lost on another man who ended the discus sion by saying "Aw, carry your lunch from home." • • • "You can say one thing about Harrisburg among a good many oth ers and that is that Harrisburg is a well-dressed city," remarked Gabriel H.

"I have to go about the state a great deal and I guess I have been in every town and I do not know a place where people are more uniformally better dressed than right here. I have often commented upon the fact." • * • City Clerk R. R. Seaman is show ing the effects of good training. He served for quite a time under the late Charles A.
