PRESIDENT S MESSAGE PRESIDENT WILSON, in his message to Congress, saddling upon "the government" respon sibility for much of the unrest now prevalent in the country, should not j forget that the government includes : the President himself as well as the j Sen&te, and that if it is the duty of , the Senate to get quickly down to j a peace-making basis, it is the duty of the executive to meet that body j half-way. There can be no ques- < tion that the final settlement of the 1 war, so far as we are concerned, and the resumption of peace-time rela tions abroad will liolp considerably in the return to normal conditions, but it is evident that there qnust be , concessions on both sides before that desirable end can be reached. The President's message deals generally with labor legislation, the tariff, assistance for soldiers and the protection of the dye and related chemical industries from German aggression, and his remarks on this last-named subject indicate that he I is not so certain as some of his other j utterances might seem to indicate, • about the effectiveness of his League 1 of Nations in keeping the peace of j the world. Indeed, he makes it very clear that he would have the coun- { try well prepared for eventualities j of a world-wide character. Most of the President's address ; Is, as usual, of an academic nature. ; He writes well and in a manner to win the approval of his readers until > they begin to analyze the document for practical suggestions. Then they I find that he has few to offer. He is I a past master in the gentle art of essay writing and as an author ol glittering generalities he is the su- j perior even of Lloyd George in the j politics of to-day. But he has made ! a practical recommendation of more than passing importance when he j advocates the creation of a perma- 1 nent government body for the arbi- j tration of all disputes between cap- ; ital and labor, and he certainly has , the support of a great majority of [ the people of America when he as- ] jerts that the government always . must be superior to any class and is justified in stepping in at any time j to protect the paramount rights of the public. And he is in full accord with public opinion when lie says , that privilege in America can never \ be permitted to transcend the rights of the people as a whole. The President's advocacy of the budget system for the government ; goes back to the time of President j Taft, and smacks strongly of the recommendations urged upon Con- j press by Senator Penrose in a vigor ous address last Spring. It is timely j and ought to have the early con- j rideration of the legislative bodies. Mr. "Wilson speaks also In the lan- i guage of Senator Penrose, as chair- i man of the finance committee of the i Senate, when he pleads for the re- I vision and simplification of the in rotne and excess profits tax laws, | *nd urges Congress to give earl j ' thought to the changes that must i t>e made for the safeguarding of I business in peace times against the > rigors of wartime legal regulation, j That is Republican doctrine, pure I sod simple. Evidently Mr. Wilson, j while shut up in his room, has kep' ; bis ears open to the sentiment of the 1 sountry and has gone to consider able pains to prepare his message accordingly. j Communities consist not simply of 1 • uildings and parks and utilities: i ihey are people and friendliness and j inselfiahness.

GOOD BUSINESS THE Dauphin County Prlsuu Board's decision not to fill the place of a resigned store keeper, whose duties it was found could be performed by another em ploye, indicates that its members interested more in the business man agement of prison affairs than they are in giving salaried places to po litical friends. Also, the falling off in prisoners by more than 100 a day and the consequent savings to the taxpayers are proof positive that prohibition does pay from the money stand point, because jail-keep is only a small item in the cost of arresting and trying of prisoners, and the economies effected by having 100 less men in jail every day in the year with prohibition in force is an argument in its favor that oppon ents of the new constitutional amendment will have some difficulty in meeting, we imagine. The action of the Prison Board in doing away with an unnecessary office is proof positive that county offices are in good hands, for there is nothing more tempting for the man in public place than the con tinuation of conditions as he finds them, especially when to do so per mits him to favor a friend who has favored hini politically. it is a good sign when officials find it in their hearts to reduce working forces. J Chester and many other cities are I giving serious attention to the houa jing problem, which confronts most J cities ajni towns, and llarrisburg is ia'so being given careful study by an able Chamber of Commerce commit [tee. Composed of careful and compe tent business men, this committee is investigating every angle of the mat- ! ter with a view to making - some recommendations and taking such fic tion as seems justified under the cir cumstances. PROFIT-SHARING GEORGE W. PERKINS writes an interesting article in the current issue of Rotarian j Magazine, entitled "The Workers' l-'air Share," in which he devotes | considerable attention to profit • sharing. At first thought profit-sharing • would seem to lie a ready solu tion to the industrial unrest now prevailing, inducing the worker to produce as much as possible in the j hope of sharing in the profits, the same as stockholders. But there are two sides to pro fit-sharing. as there are to every other proposal. The stockholders of a company share in the profits only when there are profits to share. There are lean j years even Wi.h prosperous ( panics, when there are not only no [earnings, but where losses actu j ally are shouldered either by J necessity or for the future good of ithe concern. In sueli cases, what would the i worker do who depended upon pro [ fit-sharing for a part of his yearly | income ? i Say lie worked hard and really i produced much more than he i would under the present wage sys : tent. Say he hud no responsibil j ity for the failure of the company !to earn a dividend, would it be fair to him to tell him there were no profits in which lie could share? And if this situation were to oe i cur, as it is bound to do wher i ever profit-sharing is attempted, I how is it going to be adjusted? rrolit-sharing is a very fine thing t when business is booming, but it j doesn't look so good from the ! other angle. Harrisburg and Dauphin county are | going to take their places on the fir jing line in the Red Cross Christmas seal campaign next week.

New York World recently published an editor ial tiiat certainly should stir all law abiding persons to the point of de manding a show down of these sleek, well-fed individuals who deal in slime qnd filth, and who hope, under the cover of anauymity, to use the anarchistic press io aid in dragging the Government of the United States down into the mire of Bolshevism. We have laws especially intended to prevent persons from remaining unknown while doing suclt things. I/et us enforce these laws to the last letter, to the end that the printing press shall not be used in this coun try against Hie forces of law and order. The World says on this matter: "Of the anarchistic publications in this city, most of them in foreign languages, the state authorities claim to have proof that about twenty-live are kept alive by the subsidies* of 'one hundred or more men and women of the parlor Bol shevik type and a few wealthy men and women against •whom there previously had heen no suspicion of radical tendencies." it is promised that the list will lie made public soon. Accepting the truth of this state ment, the guilt of the conductors of such organs of violence and plunder may not be confined to their preach ments. A few enacted by Congress in 191"2 and fully sustained by the Su preme Court in 1913 requires semi annual sworn statements front the publishers of all newspapers and periodicals, giving the names of edi tors. own'ers, stockholders and bond holders. Possibly these patrons of anarchy think they do not figure in any of the capacities mentioned, being only contributing editors, so to speak, but failure to name them constitutes at least a violation of the spioit of the act. If their money does in fact keep the lawless press alive, they are more accurately to be described as its owners than tlie agitators who thrive on their bounty. On puin or fine and imprison ment. Government forbids secrey as to the ownership and financial obligations of newspapers. A policy to which no honest journal or peri odical can object certainly ought to be serviceable In the cases of pub lications blatantly devoted to revo lution by force and pillage. We should have the names of all such benefactors of Bolshevism— first, for wholesome publicity, and secondly, for such responsibility under violated law as the courts shall determine.

Every man knows who lias ever been respons ible for a piece of work, or had lo meet a payroll. Recently' another friend of mine built a house. The money to build it represented a difficult period of saving on the part of himself and his wife; it meant overtime work and self-denial, and extra effort in behalf of a long-cherished dream. One day when the work was well along, he visited it, and saw a work man climbing a Jadder to the roof with a little bunch of shingles in his hands. "Look here," the foreman cried, "can't you carry a whole bundle of shingles?" The workman regarded limt sul lenly. "1 sup poke I could." he answered, "if 1 wanted to bull the job."

Evidence lias long heen before it that the great strikes wMlch have disturbed industry and menaced the prosperity and welfare of the Nation were largely due to the machina tions of alien, conspirators and Ihejr American allies, who aimed through such means ultimately to overthrow the Governnten' of the United States. A fortnight ago, four former soldiers of the United States army, returned from the great war, were publicly assassinated as ttie result of a con spiracy promoted by alien revolution ists seeking to provoke a revolution here. Twice within the year, plots have been discovered for precipitat ing a reign of terror by .widespread and simultaneous bomb outrages and murders.

Roosevelt and Japan 6 In an article written several months \>efore his death and which has just been published, Theodore Roosevelt said: "There is not time in this message to discuss fully our proper relations to Japan; I have set forth as i see thorn—and as I see our proper posi tion as regards all our international relations —in my book, "Fear God and Take Your Own Part." Rut there is always time to point out (he elemental fact that this country should feel for Japan a peculiar i;d miration and respect, and that one of the cardinal principles of our for eign policy should he to secure and retain her friendship, respect and good will. There is not the slightest real or necessary conflict of interest between the United States and Japan in the Pacific; her interest, is in Asia, ours in America: neither lias any desire or excuse for acquiring territory in the other continent. Japan is playing a great part in the civilized world: a good understand ing between her and the United 1 States is essential to international progress .and it is a grave offense against the United States for any man by word or deed to jeopardize this good understanding." The ease has been put in a nut shell in Viscount Ishii's eloquent anil appealing address at Fair Haven, Mass., on July 4, which lie closed with these words: "We trust you. we love you, and, if you will let us, we ' 'II walk at your side in loyal go .-fellowship down all tlie coming years."

Tlie man added: "It was >i crime'against Germany." if ii helped Germany, nothing was a crime against France, but tlie German people see that tlie destruction of the French mines at the time it occurred, when the inili tarv party must have seen that they could not win and that they might lose, with .inevitable reparation, meant that the French would insist on tin* surrender.of the coal mines in tlie fjaar f'.asin, at a time when Germany would necessarily be des perately put to it for fuel. Fuel in , Germany, as it is bare, is now the crucial thing, and Mr. Ham ilton predicts that tlie experience of n freezing winter without fuel there will cause another revolution ill Germany, far worse, far more irre sponsible than the comparatively Tieafceful overturn which has estab lished at least some sort of a stable government.

Named in honor of the reigning house ol' England, which bore a dis tinctly German name* the Hanover section was settled almost entirely by Scotch Irish and the early days of its civilized life were marked by constant Indian raids and some re , prisals front sturdy pioneers which ; made the redskins dread the very i name of Hanoverrnen. The legends i <>f those early settlements have come ; down through a number of families i which have figured in the history of i Dauphin county, the Simontons, the j Snodgrasses, tlie Wilsons, the Wal laces and others who made their homes in that section and fought Indians or emissaries of those they , deemed oppressers when necessity arose. The Scotch-Irish took re- I ligion and culture into the wilder ness of tliis county just as they did into Northampton, Washington and other Pennsylvania counties, as Han over church and McClure's Academy attest in the annals of this commun ity. It is unfortunate that so much of great historic interest as the story of tile settlement of the Han overs has not been put into more convenient form for reference or in deed for general reading, because there is nothing more inspiring than the story of how the frontier was held right in our own county. The section now known by the llanovers of Dauphin and Lebanon counties was originally a part or' Derry township in Lancaster county. Deny township was one of three formed in 1729 and some call it the premier district of this county. The other two were Paxton and Lebanon. The three of them were all in Lan caster county and now comprise a great part of Dauphin and Lebanon as known for the last century. Derry township seems to have included everything within the present limits of this county which Paxton did not. Hurrlqburg and Steolton are in what used to be called Paxtang or Pcsh tank, or something like that, but which some authorities believe was really Paxton. About ISS years ago there arose a complaint from settlers living north of the Swatara which led to petitions to the court at Lan caster for the formation of a new township, the ancestors of a number of Jlarrisburg l'amifies being signers for that division. The matter dragged along for a couple of years and there must have been many visits paid on horseback to the county seat before it was arranged. There was some rivalry between Derry and Paxton men and the Hanover people were occasionally accused of taking part in it. The court order establishing Hanover township was dated 1739, when part of what is now in Lebanon county's eastern end was made Bethel township. Hanover township lasted in this form until early in v 1785, the year Dauphin county was erected out of Lancaster comprising the present Dauphin and Lebanon counties. Then the Hanover district was divided into blast and West b.v what was called the West Branch of Priest's Itun, which is believed to be Kaccoon creek. A curious fact was that the township docs not seem to have, had any northern boundary and the question whether the First or Second mountain was the line got iijto the courts, and not until years afterwards, in fact about 100 years ago when Rush township was marked out, was the northern line definitely established. When Lebanon county was erected in 1813 there was also a dispute over tile llanovers. Raccoon creek was made a county boundary line, but it; look an official commission, which was named the next year, to estab lish the line between the two coun ties. But this did not end it either, and liiuillv in 1821 the Legislature passed a law that the. certain part known as Fast Hanover should be long to Lebanon county. it ■ also sliced off a part of West Hanover and some of Londonderry, inciden tally. Henceforth, Dauphin had one Hanover and Lebanon hml otic, as the names of townships to-day in dicate. Twenty .years afterwards a. new movement for division began, in the Dauphin Hanover, and b.v one of those omnibus acts which Legis latures of years gone by were so fond of passing and which can be found by wading through some 60 I.sections of an act of March 4, 1542, Hanover township was divided us we know it now. South and East Hanover were formed out of what was commonly known as West Han over to distinguish it from its sister, which had become a part of the Lebanon family. * * * It is the report of the officials named by the Dauphin county court almost eighty years ago that .will have to he referred to by the liti gants in tills latest action, the sec ond to be handled by the court in recent years, as those familiar with the long controversy over Lykens Valley township lines will recall. This report was filed in the office of (lie prothonotary in March, 1842, and mentions the lands of the Fox, Grubb. Simonton, McCord, McFad den and other families, some of which were inherited from men who biased a way into the wilderness and who helped form the Hanover As sociutors and make one of the bright pages of Central Pennsylvania his tory. • When Hanover is mentioned the loyal Dauphin eountian should re call June 4, 1 774. .two years before tlie Declaration of Independence, as the,date when the inhabitants of Hanover township, our county, for mally and in writing, declared the acts of Great Britain "iniquitous and oppressive." Although the shot that, was heard around the world had not been fired in New England, these Pennsylvanians resolved "That in the event of Great Britain at tempt lug to force unjust laws upon us by the strength of a,rms, our cause we leave to Heaven and our rifles," The men who signed that resolution showed the way to their . neighbors of Mlddletown and Hum melstown, who acted within a week, and some of them died it) Washing ton's army, others serving until the end of the struggle at Yorktown. The committee which drew up the papers of the Hanover Associators and placed themselves in danger of their necks were Col. Timothy Green, James Carutliers, Josiah Kspy, Rob ert Dixon. Thomas Oopenhelter, William Clark, James Stewart, Joseph Barnett and John Rogers. They were men who feared no king and who helped make Pennsylvania history. , .
