Discussing common sense, Gov
ernor Fproul said: "There is a need
of common senso now. War, in ad
dition to all of tlio other indict
ments which may be made against
it, of v/aate and destruction and
brutality and debasement and devil
ishness, is a dangerous mental dis
organtzcr. After great disturbances
such us we huve Just passed through
there is ulways a period of unbal
ance.
"Mad men become madder, the
' thin partitions that divide other
minds from madness are broken
through and even some ordinarily
sane men arc apt to feel strange
whirlings of fancy in their brain
cavities. There is likely to be a
failure of reasoning among the
masses of the people and all sorts of
vagaries in politics, economics and
religion find fertile fields in which
to flourish until the sober second
thought again takes possession of
the popular mind. * * *
W orld Must Go On
"The world must go on and man
must exist and develop in orderly
fashion if civilization is to endure.
We must not tie impatient of the
line between liberty and license es
tablished by centuries of woe and
•struggle, whose historic lessons are
before us for reference now when
we need them. We must not forget
that the nemeis of God are the
enemies of mankind and the doc
trines which would dethrone our
faith and establish selfishness and
brutishness as a world cult should
not claim our intelligent sympathy
for a moment.
Must Reckon With Aliens
"Fortunately the world is getting
a lesson in LYie futility of some of
the more radical innovations in so
cial reorganization rip:ht now. < >ar
fear is that the unspeakable brut
ishness and barbaric immortality
which has characterized the new or
der of things in Eastern Europe
mav result in such a revulsion of
popular feeling that the pendulum i
mav swing back toward the tyranny
and misrule which has bred races
of people among whom such con
ditions are possible. In tbis coun
try where our people have devel
oped under liberty of conscience and
equality of opportunity, with their ;
governmental organization respon- j
stvo to their own needs and sub- i
ject always to their will, we need j
not fear any general trend toward j
such conditions, though we shall
have to reckon with some of those I
who have come here without a
knowledge of our institutions of otir |
national ideals or who have not
been taught their opportunities and j
have ben exploited and misused per- j
baps here in the land of hope. Our
answer to these conditions is a thor
ough public spirit, a devoted inter
est in our public affairs and an in
sistence by the people upon good,
clean government, exact justice.

thorough understanding between I

MONDAY EVENING,
KEISTER CALLS
ON CITY TO SHOW
I FLAG, SATURDAY
I Mayor Issues Proclamation
Asking Harrisburg to
Observe Day
The prominent display of the Na
tional colors on all city buildings
; on Flag Day, June 14, is urged by
| Mayor Daniel L. Keister in a pro
! clamation issued to-day. Ministers
I are asked on the following day to
i give thanks for the sustenance of the
| flag in recent years. The proclama
tion follows:
j "Whereas, On JuneV-4, 1777, one
: hundred and forty-two years ago in
; the City of Philadelphia, there was
I born a new flag, tjie flag of. a new
; nation, a nation dedicated to free
-1 dom, liberty and justice. It repre
i sen ted at that time a people at war
' in a country undeveloped but rich
in hope and purpose. To-day those
same Stars and Stripes gloriously
float over the sons and daughters
of those revolutionery patriots and
all other human beings who have
sought refuge beneath its folds; and
"Whereas, On this the anniversary
of the birth of 'Old Glory'-it is float
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
from Canada's border to the Gulf,
and—what is newest and so superbly
grand—it floats victoriously this day
on the recent battlefields of France,
where the hosts of democracy have
conquered and we hope forever ban
ished the hordes of autocracy; and
"Whereas, Its history is rich in
deeds and glorious in hope; it being
the oldest flog now flying in the whole
world. This is not the only reason
why we love it so well and honor
it so truly, neither is it the cloth of
which it is made that we love, and
for which our sons not only gladly
stormed the heights of fame anu
death in foreign lands, but caused
them to honor, respect and die for
it. The true American, when he sees
our flag, sees not the flag, but the j
Nation itself, and whatever may be
its insignia or its symbols, he reads
in it chiefly the flag of his Govern
ment, the principles, the truths, the
history, that belongs to the Lnited
States of America.
"Now Therefore, I, Daniel L. Keis
ter. Mayor of the City of Harrisburg,
feeling that due honor and reverence
should he paid to Old Glory on the
approaching anniversary of its birth,
Saturday, June 14, 1919. do prevail
upon all of our citizens to display the
Stars and Stripes on every home, \
all business places, churches
public halls, and every building
whatsoever, and request that the;
ministers of the city on the follow
ing day in the churches of the city,
give thanks to Almighty God for sus- j
taining the flag in the past years, Md,
ask His blessing for the continued J
preservation of it in the future, and |
for the guidance of the people whom ;
it has protected. Let us remember
that so long as this emblem of liberty
shall wave over us, not only in this |
great nation of America, but in for
eign countries as well, just so long
shall we be a prosperous people and
enjov the rights that the flag stands
for: Liberty, Justice and Humanity."
Local Motor Club Held as
Model by Clubs of State!
That the Motor Club of H irrisburg, |
is looked up to as a model club and I
that other motor clubs throughout
the State are following the example j
of the local club in its beneficial
work for motorists is the opinion of j
C. S. Adams, club organizer of the
Pennsylvania Motor Federation.
Mr. Adams stopped in Harrisburg j
last Friday on his way to ihe annual j
convention of the A. A. A. at Atlan- i
tic City and attended the monthly |
meeting of the Board of Governors
of the loeal club, and was highly
pleased with the reports of the vari
ous committees in v/ork that is to
be accomplished this summer. One
of the main features pointed out by
Mr. Adams is the way the motor club
officials get afte r road supervisors
who neglect to keep the roads under
their supervision in fair condition.
Special drives are being made by
the Pennsylvania Motor Federation
to secure a larger membership of
clubs in the State, so that conditions
for the betterment of motoring can
he secured in a shorter time than is
now possible with the present mem
bership. Co-operation is needed by
every motorist in the State.

Representative James Franltlln, of Philadelphia, enjoys the unique distinction of having sat in the
session of 1889, a time when some of the men active in the present legislature were in "short pants" and
playing marbles. Among his colleagues in that session was the late Charles A. Miller, Mayor of Harnsburg,
and for many years its chief clerk.
In the district which Mr. Franklin represented in 1889 were residing four members of the present
House who are shown behind him.Mr. Franklin still refers to them as his constituents. They are (reading
from left to right) Dr. Theodore Campbell, who represents the folks out Overbrook way; Edwin R. Cox, a
leader of the Philadelphia delegatioon, and one of the most popular members of the Legislature; W. J.
Crawford, of the Seventh district; comprising the 30th ward of Philadelphia, and Chairman "Jimmy"
Walker, of the Banks and Banking Committee, holder of the record for introducing the most bills this ses
sion and one of the most active members of the Legislature.

T. Hildrup, chairman, J. William
Bowman, E. Z. Wallower, E. S.
Herman and W. P. Starkey, has j
made a careful study to determine
the financial needs of the associa

say:
"Each year it is necessary for
every live, up-to-date Y. M. C. A.
to nsk for financial support from
its friends in order that it may pur
sue a progressive program of work
for men and boys of its community.
Surely so great and good a work i
will receive the continued cor.-fidencc
and support of Harrisburg friends.
"The budgets above presented are
based upon minimum needs. In or
der that desired repairs may be
made and some worn out rugs and
furniture replaced, it is hoped that
the fund will he oversubscribed."

do. forced a rollcall refusing unan
imous consent for publication,
llornh Asks liifornintlon
In the discussion in the Foreign
Relations Committee, Henatoi B >rah
was asked by Senator Hitchcock:
"Have you any reason to believe
which copy was seen by Senator
Lodge?"
"1 have my opinion, but I have not
any real information," Mr. Borah
replied. "I don't think any of these
men showed their copy to Senator j
Lodge."
Senator Brandegee, Republican, j
of Connecticut, read from the recent j
speech by Senator Hitchcock in j
which the Nebraska Senator said if \
Senator Lodge held a copy of the |
Treaty in his hand it either was a j
stolen document or hatl been ob
tained by bribery. The Connecticut
Senator said he never had "hud the |
audacity to say that the adnnnistra- '
tion or any of its agents can be •
bribed," and added that when the (
investigation had been started,* lie i
hoped Senator Hitchcock would eith
er withdraw his inference or make
good his charge.
I.mlge Takes Stand
Senator Lodge then took the stand
and in a brief statement told of hav
ing seen a copy of the Treaty in the
possession of a friend in New York.
This friend, he continued, told him
that he knew four copies of the
Treaty were in New Y'ork. Neither
this friend nor another friend who
offered him a copy had any connec
tion with financial interests. Senator
Lodge said.
Replying to questions by Senator
Hitchcock, Senator Lodge said he
did not think it "would be honorable"
for him to disclose the names of the
men who had copies of the Treaty.
Declaring that several newspapers
to-day had printed 25,000 words cf
the Treaty, Senator Brandeger said
that in the Senate copies of
the document "are as common in this
country as huckleberries"
Senator Knox, Republican, Penn
sylvania, declared that Senator Lodge
had given all the information possible
and that what he withhold was a
matter of highest Senatorial privi
lege and personal honor.
Acting Secretary Polk said he had
first received the text of the Treaty
by cable and estimated it was about
SO per cent complete.
Copies Locked in Safe
| "I received one copy, by special
courier, about May la," he continued.
"Later 1 received ten copies by special
courier and since then a package of
copies by pouch (mail.)"
He was positive the copies shown
in the United States could not have
come from the State Department, us
they we're locked in a safe.

The Nebraska Power Company, organized April 23, 1917, acquired by purchase
all the properties, assets and franchises of the former Omaha Electric Light and
Power Company, which, with its predecessor corporation, had successfully con
ducted an electric light and power business in Omaha and vicinity for a period
of thirty-two years.
The Company does substantially the entire electric light and power business in
the city of Omaha, having at present an estimated population of 200,000; it also
supplies at wholesale all the electrical energy to the local company serving Council
Bluffs, lowa, which has at present a population of approximately 30,000.
- x
Nut Earnings of tho Company aro over 2.\ times the Interest charges
A decision of the United States Supreme Court has Held that the Company
possesses a franchise right, unlimited in time, to distribute electricity for light,
heat and power purposes. This franchise, in the opinion of counsel, covers
