VICTORY FOR PEOPLE HE Government of the United States has proved that it is the most powerful agency in America. That was shown on Saturday when It ordered the leaders of the coal strike to call off the walk out, pending a settlement of grievances in a peaceful manner, and the union leaders agreed to obey. There was nothing else left for them to do.

Two weeks ago these leaders were defiant of all authority. They placed themselves above the President, above the courts and above all law. To day they are in more chastened mood. They have heard 1 the voice of the people applauding the Gov ernment in its determination to pre vent an appallingly disastrous fuel famine. They have looked into the eyes of undaunted, loyal America, and they have seen men of all sta tions of life, by the million, standing firmly back of the Government on the side of law and order.

They were helpless before the overwhelming display of public opinion. The next step is to thresh out the grievances the unions claim they have, before a fair tribunal. After that both operators and miners must be prepared to accept the ver dict as rendered. The public is in mood to stand any further trifling with its bread and butter, either on the part of labor or capital. The court order of Saturday was a great victory for the common peo pie, whose rights have been too often invaded without restraint or hindrance.

General Wood Is getting the recog nition denied him by a partisan Washington administration in its characteristic fashion when real fighters were anxious to get to the front. A straw vote in Congress Saturday showed Wood a prime favorite for President DON'T MISS FRANCIES JOHN FRANCIES, the famous warden of the State's great penal institution near Belle fonte, will be the speaker at the Penn Harris luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday noon. Warden Francies is working ont an experiment in the big out door penitentiary which is being watched with much interest throughout the country. He believes there 4 Is good in all men, and his system of i training the prisoners under his care 1 appeals to their better side and the results already justify the Francies methods. His presence here to morrow will doubtless mean a large luncheon at tendance of the Chamber of Com roerce members and their friends, and the address promises to be an unusual and unique presentation of an interesting subject.

And to think that just one year ago to day we thought our troubles were all over. WHAT THIS WEEK MEANS THIS is War History Week. It has been proclaimed by the Gov ernor and the Mayor. It is the time when an effort must be made to assemble the data on which the story of Pennsylvania in the war is to be written. I If the people who took part in I the war, either as soldiers in France In this country, as sailors, as marines, as nurses, as draft board officers or attaches or as members of various committees do not start i now to get together the facts they will be sorry some day.

Every week people are to be seen tvt the State Library or at a depart ment in the Capitol laboriously seek Ins; facts about an ancestor who was In the Revolution, the War of 1812 the Civil War. They come to Pennsylvania from other States and meet Pennsylvanlana, making the same search. Occasionally they find MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIt NOVEMBER 10, 1919; often they do not This li because carried on In a modest way, but with no organized effort was ever mad results that commend the Institution to get the Information. Thanks to the Initiative of Gov. ernor Sproul, the State has the funds and the system to get the information so that authentic history can be written.

Men have been named In every county to oversee it. But It will not be obtained unless the people who were in the midst of things write or tell their story. There is a distinction between boasting and proper setting down of service. It Is better to overcome a natural reluctance to tell of war or other serv ice than have grandchildren spending days and dollars trying to establish it pastors, the postmasters, the teachers will all help. The Important thing is to put it Into writing this week and send it to the Historical Society, where a record will be made for all time and the facts forwarded to the State commission.

Modesty now may mean names missing from honored lists years hence. The Peace Conference is preparing to adjourn. May be now we may ex pect tho folks of Europe to get to gether and settle their differences without the necessity of so much fighting. RESERVATION NO. 1 A DOPTION of the first reserva tion to the Peace Treaty by the Senate on Saturday leaves no doubt as to the strength of President Wilson's opponents.

The majority is decisive. All the Republicans stood together and five Democrats are aligned with them. The President must accept the treaty with the reservations attached, or reject it in its entirety. It is scarcely likely that he will, dare throw the whole document overboard. Thus is one man government re pudiated in America.

Thus does Mr. Wilson suffer a humiliation he might easily have avoided had he ac cepted Republican or even Demo cratic senatorial advice in the fram ing of his peace and League of Na tion terms. Those who voted for the first reservation have nothing in their minds save the protection of America from foreign domination. It is left to the Congress of the United States to decide our own responsibilities and our own destinies in case of international misunderstandings. And it is distinctly up to the other parties to the covenant to say whether or not they want us as a member on our own terms.

If so, we shall be amply protected. It not, we shall stand on our own feet, as many statesmen of experience believe would be best for us at all events. Reservation No. 1 is wise in its provisions. Now let's hurry along with the rest of them and get back to a real peace basis as soon as Why is it most folks choose the quiet of Sunday to harrow up our feelings with their automobile acci dents? ALIEN "REFORMERS" vOWELL JAVINOFF.

Peter Urkevitch. Mike Seschuk Vasile Vasglour. Nikito Ehimoshk Fred Yarovoy. Wiklta Evanenko, John Kozy. These are names taken from the top of the list of the "reds" arrested by the Department of Justice in the raids of Friday night.

They are not specially selected for their oddity or foreign sound. They are simply the rank and file of the radical leaders "caught with the goods." Not one is an American. Notone has even sought citizenship papers. They are just what they appear to ho aliens, and enemy aliens, at that. Read that list again, and then whether you want such as they to help you create an ideal govern ment in America.

PHILADELPHIA AYOR ELECT MOORE is in VI harmony with the attitude of the Telegraph" in the matter of a closer relationship betwe9n the metropolis of the Commonwealth 'at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill and the rest of the State. He is in entire accord with the oft expressed view of this; newspaper, that the natural desire Of the mu nicipal and private interests of Penn sylvania is to aid in the development of Philadelphia as the only seaport of a great State and incidentally its typical American city. But in order that Philadelphia may grow, the hindrances which are largely within the city itself must be removed. These include political tomfoolery, abuse of a fine heritage, indifference to outside opinion and (indefensible criticism of those en gaged in a real effort to place the city in its proper position as the leader among the cities of the State. There is a community of interest between Philadelphia and the other municipalities, and this fact must be recognized.

This talk of Wood for President must give certain gold lace gentlemen of the War Department the shivers. BONDS AS A GIFT HUNDREDS of dollars in Liberty bonds have just been given to the Heme for the Friendless as a substantial expression of appreciation of the unselfish and helpful service of one of the city's oldest and most useful charitable institutions. This gift comes from an undisclosed friend and one who Is not a resident of Harrisburg. It's a fine bit of testimony in sup as one which deserves more consider ation from the public at large. When the city gets Its Foundation tor the handling of bequests for the welfare of the community the contributions of the living and the deud the Home for the Friendless and other like institutions will doubtless come into their own.

Meanwhile, those making provision for the distribution of their estates would well to give thought to charitable and other causes In need of more generous support. Those who are asking us to "sup port the coal strike" in order that The Dauphin County Historical So oma thousands of workmen may riety, the Chamber of Commerce, the ay wo ru" ire risK or freezing to death, nave a fine sense of humor, or none whatever, we are at a loss to decide which. By the Ex Committeeman Now that the election is over and men Who follow nrlitlfa uro I mencing to think about the big year 1 aneaa it is probable that there will be an early announcing season and that numerous aspirants for office will be heard of. Already several men prominent in congressional and legislative affairs have been sending out word that they intend to get into contests, some of these notices being warnings to keep off premises and others challenges. In the next few months Republican State leaders will eet totrether and discuss candidates for Judicial and State offices.

It seems to be taken tor granted that Auditor Gen eral Charles A. Snyder will get very influential support for State Treas urer, but the Auditor General nomination is in the air so to sneak, with Samuel S. Lewis and Col. Joseph H. Thompson talked of.

Present indi cations are that the State administration may not have a candidate. Superior Court Judge William B. Linn, just appointed to fill the Williams vacancy, will be nominated for the full term, but there is lots of speculation as to who will run for supreme court to succeed Chief Justice J. Hay Brown. The distinguished Lancaster Jurist will complete twenty one years on the highest appellate court bench in 1921 and is not eligible for re election under the constitution.

Much mention of Governor William C. Sproul as a presidential favorite is likely. Pottsville is to the front with a story that Auditor General Snyder is being urged to be a candidate for Republican national delegate with the express purpose of presenting the name of the Governor for President. The Governor recently remarked that presidential bees were not buzzing around him. But his friends and increasing number of admirers are busy.

The lining up of the Democrats of the State for Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer for presidential honors by the Democrats is already under way in northeastern counties. The Palmer forces have succeeded in pacifying some of the old opponents of the Attorney General in Lackawanna and are hopeful that as a result of the virtuallyunopposed re election of Judge John M. Gar Biaa in Luzerne that the third larg est county's Democrats will see some good in Palmer. It is likely that the State will see much of Jarnes I.

Blakslee in the next few months. With the election out of the way newspapers are looking for the Governor to name the new Constitutional Revision Commission very soon. The Governor has been at work on this list for weeks and weeks and has given his best thought to the personnel. The Philadelphia Press, in an article by Odell Hauser, says that the Governor intends to make this revision one of the big would not be at all surprising If the report of the Commission should take the form of an almost complete draft of a new constitution. If it does not go so far, it will at least make its recommendation so strong and pointed as to afford definite lines which the constitutional convention called by the Legislature cannot afford to ignore.

The Governor has strong views on the need for revision of the constitution. As a member of the Senate and now as Governor, he has been up against this constitution for more than a score of years and he knows it well. He is upon intimate enough terms with it to call each fault and each excellence by its first name. The view of the Governor and of other critics of the present constitution is that it is a document of limitations. It tells more about what you shall not do than what you may do, stating the problem in a broad way.

It does not establish a general principle of government and leave Its working out to the spirit of the times, but it. attempts in many instances to define the details. And when 1919 finds itself bound down to the point of view of 1873 there is room for an aggrieved feeling." Just as illustrations of the way Republicans won all along the line last Tuesday in the State which some ambitious men declared in 191,4, and in 1916 tney were going to makfe Republican, these dispatches in Philadelphia newspapers may be quoted: Williamport With the election by large majorities of the entire Republican county ticket and all but one candidate on the city ticket, Lycoming county, which last year gave a big majority for Governor Sproul, ceased to be knc.vn longer as "nominally Democratic," and took rank with the full fledged Republican counties of the State. Thomas M. Gray, who was elected sheriff, was given the highest vote ever accorded a candidate for the office in Lycoming county.

He polled 8,064 votes, close to 3,800 more than his op ponent. Scranton The decisive victory achieved at the polls on Tuesday has placed the Republican party in stronger control of affairs in Scranton and Lackawanna counties than has been the case in the past quarter of a century. It means that after. January 1 the Republicans will have two of the three places on the bench, and that' the only Democrats holding office in the court house will be one jury commissioner, and the minority county commissioner1, places due one part' under the in the city the Republican party will al. be in complete control for the next few years.

Mayor Conncll. though named as a nonpartisan candidate, is recognized as a Republican leader here. Senator Edwin' H. Vare has WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND Washington speech. He says he did not reflect on any mayor, but did want to emphasize the excellent administration of Edwin S.

Stuart. Mayor Thomas M. Smith hit back at him by saying he had not been Vare's mayor, and the Senator replied: "That's right. We disagreed on several matters." The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the inauguration of Congressman J. Hampton Moore as mayor of Philadelphia will be made a national event and many Congressmen will attend.

In absence of the Mayor, the Inquirer says "gossip continues to link names of many well known Philadelphians with different offices under the new administration," and then remarks that some Republican who helped get results will displace Smith men. lair county's Republican League has started out to organize the county and frequent meetings will be held this winter. The Pittsburgh Gazette Times is out in an editorial criticising the course of District Attorney H. H. Rowand in not suspending detectives charged with killing a man.

It says he should "get busy and remove this reproach on Allegheny county." A. J. McKean, of Mercer, has voted at 72 elections, 21 of them things of his administration and that presidential, and hopes to vote next Attorney tienerai William I. Schaffer I November, will be chairman. He says: "It' The Altoona Tribune says the mountain city is to be congratulated on continuing the commission form of government.

Sharon and Sunbury become third class cities in January. Sun bury is one of the oldest boroughs in Eastern Pennsylvania. Jacob Hoffman, who was a candidate for something on the Charter party ticket in Philadelphia, is asking a recount. He will hardly get it. The Charter party has joined various other parties in Philadelphia political annals.

State Chairman William E. Crow's ticket won every office in Fnvnttp. eountv that the law allowed, notwithstanding the manner in which Field Marshal Bruce Sterling brought up all the forces that the Federal Government and the Palmer machine could afford. There was much bitterness, and the uemocram tactics were much the same is they were in Dauphin and Cumberland counties. Over 21,000 votes, a record, were cast Philadelphia newspapers in their election reviews say people of Dauphin, Montgomery, Chester, Lancaster and other Republican counties gave substantial "votes of confidence" last week to leaders and men in office.

Congressman B. K. Focht, or Lewisburg; E. R. Kiess, of Hughes ville, and Henry W.

Watson, of Langhorne, are expected to run again. Mr. Focht has already announced himself and has been endorsed by the Union County Republican Committee, which has also commended Senator W. C. McCon nell and Representative H.

OW what in the world is the matter with Jack this time You look as if you'd lost your last friend.

Come on. Brace up and tell me all about it It was Uncle Ted, who, seeing his nepnew with a face clouded with gloom was trying to bring back' the sunshine. "Ah, there's nothing so terribly wrong, uncle Ted," answered Jack. But I ve had another fuss with Hermann Schwartz. He's always making me sore the way he talks about our country and thinks Germany is about right.

He doesn't seem to know that Germany was licked to a frazzle and I'm tired tell ing mm. you see this morning being Saturday I went to buy some inings 10 eai, for mother. I don't like to go into Schwartz's butcher snop dui tney have such good meat. oo i watcnea until I thought Her mann was gone and then went in. But like he always does, he had just 6uue in me DacK or tne store and when I got up to the counter he came running in.

'Your country is a fine mess," he said. 'After you beat Germany then you start fighting among yourselves. If you don't watch out Germany will be doing more business than the United States. Her workmen are working long nours each day and with lots of goods stored away she will very soon be ready to do business with the world. If all the workmen keep striking in this country there won't be anything to sell.

Well, of course Uncle Ted, I couldn't think of anything mean enough to say and I didn't want to fight because you told me not to, so I just told him to mind his own business and walked out Now what I'm worrying about is, was what he said true?" "Of course, Jack," began his Uncle, as he drew up a chair, "Hermann should not talk that way, no matter how much of what he says may be true. He and his father are making their living in this country and they should forget Germany and be loyal Americans. But it so happens again, that some of what he says is true. I will explain the mat ter as best I can. For a long time the various labor unions in this country have been going on strike.

That is. If they want more money, or shorter working hours or both, and their employers feel that what they are getting is enough, they quit work. We have had strikes in this country for years and years, but as a rule they have been conducted quietly and after a time the troubles were settled and the men went back to work as before. But during the past year, especially since the end of the war, the various unions have been striking and some of their members who act like the bolsheviks of Russia or the as they are sometimes called, have used bombs to blow up houses; have fought on the streets and destroyed property in general. They are not all that way but many of them go so far as to Reading I threaten to destroy our government.

Right now there are some 300 strikes going on in the United States. A great many of the men who work in the steel mills are striking and rioting. Troops had to be called out in Gary, Indiana, a big steel town, to protect property and the lives of the people. The soldiers found many of these "Reds" there who were trying to overthrow the gov ernment The men who work on the piers In New York City where the ships are unloaded and loaded are on strike. That means tying up the food that is coming and going.

Milwaukee district, i from which he "What happens to the things, these comes, will be held for a successor, men make or do when they are and Berger will be a candidate for asked Ruth, who had vindication; As' he is under a Jail (just returned from play. sentence of twenty years for "That Is the worst part of it loyalty. It may be difficult for him 1 Ruth," answered her Uncle. "Wnile all of these men are away from their work they are not producing.

They go on eating and living, but they are not giving anything to their country In return. Now right here Is where the things Hermann 8c warta said come in. Men who know more about the condition of By BRIGGS Mwmmmi a A.U WiW ii STRIKES, WORK AND GERMANY things in Europe and especially in Germany than myself, say that with in ten years Germany will be on the same business basis she was before the war. That means she is work ing very hard because the country was torn to pieces after the years or righting. She has great quanti ties of manufactured goods stored away and the plants where things to sell are made were planned so that they could start them going just as soon a3 peace came.

All of the German workers, the laborers ana mechanics are, without being iom, wonting at least ten hours every day when most of ours are not working more than eight hours ana many of them less. Our men are striking for shorter hours and more money right at a time when the only thing that will save this country is for everybody to foreet tneir selfish interests and work hard and produce in large quantities." "But Uncle Ted, what has Ger many got to do with us even If she is working harder?" asked Jack. Just this. The German money is so low that it is to the advantage of oiner countries to buy the material she has ready for the market. If she has goods ready because she is working night and day with all her energy then she can sell to the world while we are not only going to sleep out naving a laoor war right in our own country.

You see that is what Germany is doing while in this country the chief labor leader says, 'I will tie up every industry in the United States by ordering all work men who belong to the unions to quit unless you give us what we want' To surrender to them would mean that about 3,000,000 people in the United States would tell nearly 100,000,000 people what they would or would not do. The great lesson to all of this is that neither Congress in Washington nor the State law making bodies can solve the situation. The real, true Americans. men who think and act like the great Roosevelt, must meet the situation and get rid of the bad foreign sxoud of men and women who at present seem to nave control of labor. When we saw we had to go to war with Germany practically every man, woman and child was loyal.

The men went to fight, the money was given for guns, bullets and shells, and we beat Germany. The same danger from Germany is with us again. Only this time it is simply of another kind. We must meet it with the same spirit or we are lost as a country. If is not money, not lives this time, but work that will count." "Well I guess we will show Herrmann a few things," said Jack.

"We just must work and produce and I for one will help by telling everybody I can." In Certain Little Illinois Town From the New York Tribune, apropos of "Abraham Lincoln," just published by Houghton Company. "One perhaps should know Springfield to appreciate the full dramatic quality of the events of the last week in this quiet old Illinois town. A king and queen there arrived to pay thejr respects to a certain small clapboard home and the man it housed some sixty years ago. A visiting English poet and drama tist John Drinkwater, followed on the same errand. There were luncheons and formalities, and Governor Lowden spoke ably for his state and of her greatest citizen." "Lincoln's home is a low, inconspicuous house off the main street left quite unchanged, without tablet or monument to advertise it It is the same within as without" "The play Is strong in the universal quality of Lincoln, that simple, unerring greatness which touched all that he did, whether he was writing a letter to his brother on thrift or dedicating a great battlefield."

That nomination is long way off, and we are not concerned with the political fortunes of any Individual. But when a man, particuliirly ono sei'K The New National Guard From the Philadelphia, Bulletin.

The success of the plan for tho re establishment of the National Guard on a permanent basis as an efficient reserve for the Regular Army ue pends very much on the character of public support which is given to the enterprise. The organization must be regarded as more than a plaything or an op Dortunitv for tin soldiering. Enlist ment in its service is to be credited to the men in a degree comparable to that which was accorded the vol unteer or the willing draftee for serv ice in the war. Every man will be subject to discipline and duty, whicn whether or not they involve active service, will be as essential a part of the State and National preparedness as is enlistment in the Regular Army. The desired results in the recruit ini? nf th new 28th Division, which succeeds to the name and will replace in the measure that times of peace require, the troops which the whole State honors for their service in the war, cannot be better assured than by a show of communal sentiment and pride in the new organiza tion as representative and as volun teer substitutes for the otherwise necessary burden of universal military service.

Watch the Dog Law Pennsylvania Farmer Reading between the lines in the report of the convention of the Pennsylvania Association of County Commissioners one detects a sentiment in that organization that is opposed to the present dog law in this State. This opposition is based upon an alleged inefficiency of the law because of the difficulty of enforcing it. Careful observation will show that the law is not enforced in a great many places, but that is not the fault of the law. It is due to the laxness of spineless omciais who have a keener interest in retaining their position than in the enforcement of law. It is altogether possible that the present law might be Improved, but whenever the question is opened up it is a mighty hard job to put through any really protective legislation, because of the manv opposing interests.

We had better hold on to what we have, rather than run the risk of losing all by tinkering with it.

Speaking in New York at the request of tho Woman's Memorlul Association, General Wood said: "There Is no room In this counlry for the red flag. It against everything which this government stands for, the home, the town, the nation. Kill it as you would a rattlesnake, and smash those who follow it, speak for it or support it. They are enemies of the Suite and dangerous enemies." i Perhaps General Wood's denunciation of revolution will be translated into a dozen different languages and distributed among the fat aliens who know nothing of our tongue and so little of our Institutions that they imagine they can submerge them overnight.

Kent Gilbert, of amn ttiii has harvested a wonderful rron nf chrysanthemums this year most of them of the pink and yellow va rieties. The flowers on which Mr Gilbert specializes are all grown outdoors, but they are as laree and exquisite in form and color as the hothouse grown blossoms and much hardier. Some that he brought to the city this year were eight to ten inches in diameter and had stems five to six feet in length. He found an easy market for his surplus at good prices. Mr.

Gilbert is an indoor worker and finds his recreation and exercise in his flower beds. "Some of my friends go fishing, others play golf I raise flowers," he says. Another flower specialist is Giles H.
