SPROUL BOOMED FOR PRESIDENT Congressman Kiess Says He Is the Man of the Hour For the Nation Governor William C. Sproul was declared to be the man around whom Pennsylvanians could rally as the man for the presidency by Con gressman Edgar R. Kiess in an ln vervdew given at Williamsport. The Congressman said that the country needs just such a man as Sproul. In his statement Mr. Kiess said: "The primaries for the selection of delegates for the presidency to the 1920 conventions for the nomination of candidates for the presidency are less than eight months distant," said he, "and no outstanding candidacy for the Republican nomination has as yet arisen above the horizon. So far as the leaders have shown their handiwork, it is anybody's race. "General Leonard Wood, our greatest soldier before the war, who was too anxious to put the country on a preparedness basis to please the powers that be, is popular with a great many of our citizens and has possibilities no one doubts. So has Senator Warren Harding, of Ohio. He is a fine, upstanding man, with a brilliant mind, and a successful busi ness career behind him. Senator Hiram -Johnson, who was the run ning mate of Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, is not without his ambitions and his followers, and he undoubt edly will enter the race. Call For Big Man f Affairs "Whether ex-President William Howard Taft is or is not, or will or will not, be a candidate for the Re publican nomination next year is a matter of speculation. Certainly, he is much stronger than he was when he retired from office in 1913. But these are critical times and the call seems to be for a big, upstanding man of affairs, a real, live business man first, but one not unknown to and unknowing about politics and matters of State. Our own great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania stands ready to present such a candi date to the Nation in the person of Governor William C. Sproul, than whom, let it be said, there is no more available man for the place. "All will agree, I think, that Gov ernor Sproul clearly and fully pos sesses such qualifications. He is a broad-gauged business man who has demonstrated his leadership both in politics and in business.

In Asserts New Discovery Brings Blessed Relief to Rose and Hay Fever Sufferers Can Make It Yourself At Home At Trifling Expense In spite of all the doubters and ecoffers, a man in Kentucky, who changed his annoying and distress ing hay fever into less than a mild cold, claims most emphatically that if taken in time hay fever can be conquered or at least made so harm less that it is not even bothersome.

MONDAY EVENING, from Chester, on the Delaware River, where the great fleet of new ships are being built and launched almost daily, and where he is interested in many lines of industry akin to our shipping and shipbuilding. "From a political viewpoint. Gov ernor Sproul served for a quarter of a century as a member of the Pennsylvania Senate, with a splendid record as a high class man and a wise and good public servant. He is now completing his first year in the gubernatorial chair of his native State, and has acquitted himself in a post of extreme difficulty in a man ner to win praise from all sides. His first year, always the most difficult one, has been a decided success, and he has attracted most favorable at tention wherever he has gone since his inauguration. "In Washington one hears a good deal about Governor Sproul of Penn sylvania, and his name is frequently connected with the Republican Nom ination next year for the presidency. As you know, he attended and took a rather conspicuous part in the meeting of governors at Salt Lake City last summer. Later he went to the coast with Mrs. Sproul and seemingly left behind him many warm friends and a most favorable public opinion among the people of the Western lands, who seem to re member our Governor most kindly and not infrequently mention his name as among the probabilities for next year. Meets All Requirements "Governor Sproul would seem to meet the qualifications demanded of a Republican candidate for the high office of President of these United States at this time, if the party is to successfully meet the crisis of af fairs and that of the Nation. He is x the first instance a sound, wide awake and progressive business man who has made a success of his own affair and those of the Common wealth; and, secondly, he is in the best sense of that much-abused word a politician in that he has been for many years in close contact with the large affaire of government and his party. "Regulars and progressives alike have unbounded faith in William C. Sproul, and never has he betrayed that confidence or that of the peo ple. He hails from a Republican stronghold and the second largest of the states in population and first in the industries. His tremendous ma jority in a hotly-contested campaign last year showed him to be popular with all elements of his party. He has done.much in the past year to iron out the differences that have so long existed and will do more in the immediate future. "I believe that our party in this world crisis can go farther and fare, worse in its quest of a winning candi date. Governor Sproul has behind him the prestige of the governorship of this great Republican Common wealth and should he decide to al low his many friends here and throughout the country to present his name to the Republican coifren tion next year he will not only have behind him a solid Pennsylvania delegation but many earnest sup porters scattered throughout the other delegations. "It may be safely stated that among those who are now being given the acid test of availability for next year is Governor Sproul."

BANKING LAWS ARE CONSTRUED DpputyAttorneyGeneral Gives Rulings in Regard to Cal culating Some Reserves In a series of opinions given to State Commis sioner of Bank ing John S. Fisher by Deputy Attor ney General B. J. Myers, it is held that "immediate demand liabili ties" mentioned in State banking acts include bills I'll' I jand as well as de posits payable on demand, and he holds that "the reserve to be main tained on account of deposits of money subject to check or payable on demand should be calculated on the basis of 15 per centum of the demand deposits, bills payable on demand and all other demand liabili ties. A distinction should be made between bills payable on demand and bills payable on time. Bills pay able on time need not be considered in computing the amount of reserve to be carried for the protection of demand deposits; which reserve shall only be 15 per cent of demand liabili ties." In other opinions it is held that banks and trust companies need not take out licenses to sell steamship tickets, but that agents and others who must may be required to pre sent sureties that will satisfy the Commissioner of Banking. Mr. Myers has held in ad opinion to the board of managers of the State village for feeble-minded wo men at I.aurelton that the question of age at which women are to be admitted is one for the courts of quarter sessions and the managers "have no discretion to receive or re fuse the admission of the person." The opinion was given in construing the act of July 16, 1919.

Serious loss to tlic tipple growers of Pennsylvania, especially In the South Mountain belt, has been re ported, due to the excessive drop ping of fruit which has been caused by continued wet weather and the high temperature for the latter part of October. The prospects for the crop, even Including the yield of the young apple trees just com mencing to bear, were reported re cently by the Department of Agri culture, as less than for the last few years and the dropping of the fruit has caused a further reduction of the crop. Some of the firms in the apple-growing counties of Cen tral Pennsylvania .have withdrawn their prices on this fall's packing. Dozens of letters are being re ceived daily by the P'ublic Service Commission in regard to the plans for the enforcement of the new jit ney applications.

Arrangements have been com pleted for the hatching of land locked salmon eggs for Pennsylvania lakes. This will be the first time this has been undertaken and a sup ply has been received from New York and other states by Commis sioner of Fisheries N. R.

Owners or agents cannot deprive tenants of water or light, even if they refuse to pay rentals. All such cases will be prosecuted under the health laws, says ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor Frank B. McClain, chairman of the Public Welfare Commission, which is conducting the probe of rent profiteering and realty specula tion in Philadelphia. Mr. McClain took this stand after tenants' pro tective associations brought to his attention instances of landlord's at tempts to force eviction of tenants by turning off the water supply. The tenants had refused to pay what they termed exorbitant increases in rent.

Sproul Favors Sitting Judges Governor Sproul rather quietly, but none the less firmly, enunciated a policy in regard to appointments to the appellate courts and also ended talk of Joseph H. Taulane, as sistant district attorney of Philadel phia, as successor of J. Henry Wil liams on the superior court bench. "Mr. Taullne is a fine man and a fine lawyer, but I believe that a Judge from the bench of the com- HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH mo pleas court should be promoted to the vacancy in the superior court," Governor Sproul said. It was called to the attention of the Governor that none of the local common pleas Judges was seeking the promotion and that the appoint I '"The Live Store" "Always Reliable" I "Be Sure of Your Store" 5 Copyright 1919 Hart Schafinc. & Marx, Bj It's Hard to Beat the Best I I There are certain Doctors, lawyers and great states men who always rank a bit above the average and everybody seems pleased when they can claim an acquaintance with them; that it is their good fortune to be associated in business dealings, or perhaps that they are a resident in the same city with these men who hold such a commanding influence. Harrisburg has its share of men who are in the limelight of success and the people who live Here are proud of their success. But isn't it just as glorious for a store to have a good reputation, to have the people saying nice things about the service, reliability, the salespeople, and the merchandise you sell? Of cqurse you know it is, and while you are reading, just stop to think of DOUT RICHS, the store everybody is talking about, how it ranks as an "always reliable" store where there are no dis appointments or exaggerations, a store where square dealing and honest representation prevails at all times. A short time ago in a prominent cigar store five young men were casually talking. One thing after the other was dis cussed and finally clothing happened to be mentioned. The "pros and cons" were sifted. None of these men knew just where the other man was buying his clothes. They had each other "on the fence." Then a show down, coats were pulled back, the labels were displayed and four of them were Doutrich labels —What did the other fellow say? Just this—l'm not going to be the only odd man in the crowd. Next time 1 want clothes, me for Doutrichs. How about it, Mr. Man? Are you buying your clothes at Harrisburg's largest, livest leading men's clothing store? We have the reputation!

ACCORDING TO CIRCUMSTANCES A "regular" from a western army camp came home the other day on an extended furlough. He was enter tained extensively by his former com panions and friends. One evening he told the boys about the Indian's great love for whisky. NOVEMBER 3, 1919. "Why, the way thein Indians love whisky bents anything you ever saw," he remarked. "I once met a Cheyenne on his pony. 'Give me a drink of whisky; I'll give you my bridle for it.' he says. 'No.' says I. Then he offered his bridle and saddle and pony ill In a bunch for one drink." "Well wouldn't you give It to hllri • for all that?" asked one of the boy*. "Well, not much!" said the aoldieft emphatically.
