Not panaerous in rhemsolves.

Harrisburg Patriot.
Recent coasting, sleighing and skating
accidents which have killed many people
and injured more, are regrettable but
they furnish no excuse for the suEges-
tion that these fine winter sports are
wrong in themselves or even especially
dangerous.
Coasting accidents are always more
numerous and usually more disastrous
than those that attend skating and sleigh
ing. There are comparatively few skating
accidents and sleighing parties are not
often marred by mishaps of a serious ma
ture except when Joy parties take to tho
snowy road. The reason coasting outstrips
the other Winter sports in the number and
seriousness Of the accidents 1t entails Is
becausaof the reckless indulgence in the
pastimC on the streets Of cities.
1t is tempting fate 10 coast on thorough
fares thronged with the traffic OF trolley
cars. automobiles and other vehicles.
While 1t is the duty OF Police Depart
ments either to safely regulate or else to
prevent coasting in tho streets, yet the
responsibility cannot be confined entirely
to the Police Department. Common sense
is expected TO control, I'm this as in other
sports and TO protect the indulger when
the constituted authorities are either too
careless or too incompetent to perform
the duty with which they arc charged.

ZINE LIMIT I'M DERArEs.

n IIE only thought Of criticism that we
i might have to make about the debate on
the question of whether oolored children should
have white or black dolls, is that Pastor PEN
nngton one Of the debaters, might have been
given more time We sympathize with the
minister who had time called on him lust as he
said he was getting into the subject. But the
rules of presiding officer at a debate, whether
the debaters are colored or white are enforced
according to the hands of the clock, and no par
tality is shown But no doubt the minister
must have been sadly disappointed when the
gavel fell just as he was warming up.
The calling Of time, however, seems to have
been done in an orderly fashion which cannot
be said of all efforts to halt the flow of Ian
guage of a speaker. We remember meeting
Evening journal., 1910-01-14

during a campaign in Philadelphia, when Gov
ernor Hastings was addressing multitude of
political saints and sinners in the Academy OF
Music In the midst OF an eloquent climax
some fellow in the top gallery called time on the
distinguished speaker by yelling in loud voice,
a voice worthy of Single Taxer, How about
padded pay rolls governor? This question
almost broke up the meeting
On another occasion the Hon. Willard Sauls-
bury Meredith. who used to be in the Legsla-
ture and, who is considerable of an orator. was
addressing a meeting OF the Democratic League.
Mr. Meredith was walking up and down, using
vigorous language. The Hon John G. Gray and
others, if we mistake not, were sitting there IN
tently listening, their very veins throbbng with
interest when some mischievous person yelled
from another room, "hot air" Time was called
for a moment but Mr.. Meredith got back at
the interrupter with a. "Yes, that's what you Re
publicans always say. It's your, only argu-
ment"
On some occasions, however talk proceeds
melliluently, with no one to call time. The last
Democratic State Convention was one of those
remarkable occasions when speeehmakng con-
tinued till twilight, till darkness in order 70
give the young Democratic orators chance and
It stopped only when the convention realized
that it had almost forgotten to put Brother
Handy on the ticket, regular proceeding Of
Democratic conventions.
Speakers. we venture to say, should be given
plenty Of time to get into a subject but IT Pas
tor Pennington has regrets he should remem-
Der that many other debaters have met the same
fate The clock will not stop for them.
The colored people, however should continue
the practice of debating. Debating clubs have
gone somewhat out Of fashion of late, but they
should be revived. There many people who
enjoy a good old fashion debate, in fact, enjoy
speaking Of any kind.

REVENUE BOARD
HAS MUCH WORK
County Officials Point Out
Some Conditions Requiring
Attention

In speaking today of work Of the state
Revenue and Taxation Commission,
County Treasurer Burns said there is
much work ahead for the commission.
It is the opinion Of Mr. Burns that
the capitation tax law is a dead letter
and that only prison sentences on. de-
linquents will enforce payment of the
tax. Mr.. Burns pointed out that the
taxpayer may agree TO pay the tax,
and ask for time and keep the collector
off until the tax is outlawed.
c. Candy Hopkins. former member
Of the Levy Court. and now clerk OF
the Levy Court. in speaking Of the
taxes received by the county from the
public service corporations, said the
county receives annually $500 from
that source. The money is levied on
the poles. wires. mains and conduits
Of the companies. The amounts are:
Wilmington Light and Power Com
pany, S400; Wilmington Electric Com
pany. $500; Gas and Electric Company.

Until a few years ago this revenue
was not received.
The Pennsylvania Railroad tore down
rows OF houses in order TO build the
elevated road and that took away taxes
and now the railroad company claims
the site used as a receiving or freight
yard on the site of the old Harlan and
Hollingsworth foundry should not be
liable for taxes. The Levy Court re-
fused to allow the item as an error
and the taxes are not paid. 1t will be-
come a test case In the courts.

Editorial
Opinion
Maeaaam Roads.

Scranton Times.
Everywhere in America. and in Europe,
particularly in the latter. where the very
best roadways have been laid and in use
for a century or more. the complaint
comes Of the ruin of the macadam roads
from the auto cars, and where the auto
cars are not forbidden to run, municipali-
ties are covering the macadam with btu
men or other hard substance. making the
highway doubly expensive Macadam is
fine for Vehicles, wagons or carriages. but
roads have to be built now for auto cars,
which promise In the not distant future
to supercedo all other vehicles for either
pleasure or for hauling purposes
Not only is the macadam road. no mat
ter how well built, after its first wear, in
need of constant repair, but It Is a ter
rible nuisance to people who dwell along
such highway. with residences, near tho
road. The dust in the open season is in
tolerable, and has driven numbers Of peo-
pie with fine properties to sell their places
where located close to the macadam road
where there is much travel During six or
seven months of tho year, as soon as the
surface becomes dry after a storm, and II
dries very quickly, clouds OF dust arc roll
ed up by the fast speeding autos which IS
waited by the wind of the houses along
the highway. making it impossible, with
comfort to sit on the porches, or to have
the front windows of the house raised.
And we may note here that the state
road commissioner OF New Jersey has an
nounced that that state will lay no more
macadam roads. His choice is Tor btu
minous roads. 1.-The wear OF speeding au-
tomobiles upon macadam roads caused tho
State road department to realize the ur-
gent necessity of providing new road
surface that would be dustless, water
proof and hard enough to defy the effect
OF automobile wheels and resilient enough
to give comfort in riding. A campaign Of
education i'm road reform was adopted and
now the state has miles of bituminous
roads and specifications prepared for 10
more.
It IS the wear Of speeding automobiles
that has led to this change. and every OBJ
serving person knows that the touring
cars arc death on macadam highways,
and not much time required at that In
view of the increasing wear and tear of
automobile travel It certainly looks as il
present methods of road building would
have to be superseded. Thus is tho auto
mobile not only expensive in It's cost and
keep. but also i'm the destruction to roads
which has followed and must be more
and more in evidence.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

II HE action of the Board of Education TAX
h en- last Monday evening instructng SUI
perintendent Twitmyer to enforce fully the COM
pulsory attendance law as provided for by the
Acts OF Assembly of 1907 and 1900, will com
mend itself TO all good thinking citizens All
the preliminary steps necessary for IT'S enforce
ment have been taken by the Board, and we
glad that the law is to be made fully and com
ty&letey operative.
~ ~ he law of 1907 and as amended in 1900,
IN DIVIDES that all children between the ages of
seven and fourteen years shall attend continu-
ously for at least five months each year some
school, public or private in which the common
English branches are taught unless prevented
from so doing by mental or physical disability.
It also provides for the imposition OF penalties
upon principals, teachers and parents for the
evasion or violation of the law, in the form Of
fines and imprisonment, and for the placing Of
truants and incorrigibles, after conviction, in
the Ferris Industrial School, and for the non
enforcement of the law by the Board of Edu-
cation the penalty is the Withholding of the city's
share of the State appropriation of the school
fund amounting TO not less than $4,000 annu-
ally. The Nlaw also provides that the police
force of the city shall serve attendance and
truant officers.
The law as it now stands is not all that could
be desired, but is reasonably plain and so clear,
that by sane Interpretation and judicious en-
forcement nothing but good can come from it..
We believe that the police force of the city and
the Superintendent will work together in har-
mony in the interests of the children and the
city, and that whatever good results are to ac-
crue from the observance Of the law, will be
achieved.
Doubtless there will be some opposition to
the law, by those who do not understand the
spirit and genius of our institutions or through
neglect or selhshness exploit their children for
personal advantage The need of compulsory
education is found in the unwillingness or in
ability of some parents to procure educational
advantages for their children, or because they
undervaue education.
The child labor law and the compulsory edu-
cation law were both enacted in answer TO the
peoples demand for the protection of the chill
dren in their physical, moral and intellectual
rights. The two laws are counterparts of each
other. Compulsory attendance at school is not
merely for the purpose of education but to pro-
vide and preserve more favorable environment
during childhood than could possibly be fur
nished in any industrial establishment, however
well conducted. Compulsory education and the
prohibition of child labor clearly assert the SUI
premacy of the States interest in the child. "as
against any opposing interest of the parent" and
that its interest is in the health, morals and IN
telligence of its citizenship.
The Board of Education is therefore to be
commended for its active support OF the States
effort to promote the well-beng of all its cit.
liens.

LOST TWO OPENING GAMES
Marquette Base Ball Team Took Locals In
