nonpartisan dinner is being arranged,
TO which Republicans as well as Dem

the place his salary would be $4,500

that Gov. Higgins would assign him
to the appellate division In case he

To get the nomination Judge Parker
would have to change his voting resi-

would do.

ExtirpatinE smnlInor.

The recent outbreak Of smallpox in this
state gives point to the statement that
for the frst time In four years the mu-
nicipal hospital Of Philadelphia reports
that there Is not case within the city
limits. 1t will be remembered two or
three years ago, when the disease pre-
vailed 50 largely in Indiana, that Penn
sylvania was still more grievously af-
tiicted and considering the large and
varied population of that great manufac-
turing state. with its populous cities and
lence OF this disease. the success Of the
authorities of Philadelphia in finally ex-
tirpating II in that center Is praisewor-
thy The reason for it. the Philadel-
phia Ledger says. is simply that the
health board was reorganized. and power
was given It to do the work The end
has crowned it. The Ledger adds:
There Is no excuse for an epidemic Of
smallpox in any organized community.
II IS one Of the diseases for which we
have a known and generally available
preventive, and its existence anywhere
or at any time is simply evidence that
vaccination has been neglected or inef-
ficiently applied. When the sanitary au-
thority was intrusted to competent hands.
there was just one course TO be pursued
the vaccination OF every person not al
ready immune. When this was done,
scientifically and Thoroughly, the smai1-
pox came to an end for lack Of sub
jects."
There Is the word In season for us Of
this state. The obvious lesson, as the
Ledger goes on to say. Is that immunity
Is to be maintained BY continuing the
same process. There Is no use or excuse
for a smallpox scare" Such a thing 4
simply a danger signal OF neglect Of
duty. If people will take the trouble
to be vaccinated from time to time
smallpox would have no more terrors
for them. We do not fear the coming
Of cold weather simply because we know
that we shall dress In warmer clothing
and 50 prevent the ills Of flesh that
otherwise would cause widespread sick-
ness and death. II can be as exactly SO
