HEALTH BOARDS GOOD WORK


IN refusing to grant licenses to res
taurant keepers and milkmen of
! this city whose places of business
are in an unsanitary condition, the
Board of Health at the same time pro-
tects the health of the community and
hands other restaurateurs and milk
men a lesson that will doubtless be
productive of good results.
The time is past when dirty, ill
smelling, disease-breeding eating
places can do business In Harrisburg.
If people will insist on %patronizing
such places and jeopardizing their
health and the health of the commu-
nifty in general, it is necessary that
the authorities close such restaurants.
If milkmen continue to dispense inn
pure milk after they have been
warned. it is right hat the health de-
partment should refuse to let them sell
their product.

haps doing more than any other in

ter place in which to live. was sus-
tanned in his position of refusing such
dealers licenses, and rightly so.

R~OOSEVELT'S HEALTH

[From the Phila. Public LEDGER
Ex-President Roosevelt's health
causes considerable anxiety. He re-
turned from South America bearing
teh marks of the insidious jungle
fever. His once vigorous bodily health
was much reduced, and his medical
advisers have urged him to take a
long rest. 1t is sincerely hoped that
he will obey the doctors orders, and
return to public life with renewed
health and enthusiasm.
Theodore Roosevelt, more than any
American since Lincoln, appeals to
the popular imagination. Many of the
characteristics which men admire are
expressed in his aggressive person
ality, and whether one agrees with
him or not one must admire the dra-
matte action of the man. For some
years he has been the most striking
figure on the American stage. If COM
PEELED to retire for a season he will be
missed by all classes of his country
men. Mr.. Roosevelt has been a Presi-
dent, a typical expression of individual
Americanism, and a party; he is more
widely known and respected through
out the world than any other living
American.
In this period of pause and physical
entire nation. The American people
may diqer widely in their political
opinions, but they all agree in admir-.
ing a good fighter and recognizing a
real man.

o time is to be lost in arranging
for the dual celebration con-
i templated for next Fourth of
July. This is to be the biggest
Jubilee in the history of Harrisburg.
1t will mark the completion of the
vast chain of public improvements
started away back in the early nine
ties, when the Telegraph first pub
lished a few suggestive sketches of
the wall along the river and the in
tercepting sewer. The Harrisburg of
to-day is a vastly different city from
that OF those days. Tt is bigger and
better, a more prosperous commun-
ity, cleaner and more attractive. II
has everything a modern city should
have and it has set the pace for NUM-
cipalities the country over.
It is altogether appropriate, there
fore, that Harrisburg should put on
her holiday dress, let the neighbors
know that her house is in order and
invite them around for a friendly call
A year is not too long a time to ar
range for a festival of the magnitude
planned. 1t must be on a scale COM
mensurate with the greatness of the
public improvements, the completion
of which 1t will mark.

WILSONIAN PATRIOTISM

~AREFUL reading of President
Wilson's address at Philadel-
phia-his Fourth of July mes
sage to the people of the United
States from the very cradle of Amer
lean liberty-compels the conclusion
that the President is a victim of self
hypnotism; that he is incapable of I'M
derstanding the motives and forces
which are controlling and influencing
the development and destiny of the
Republic.
Throughout the speech is an under
current of pessimism INT distrust
which shows itself in a forced and
impossible Interpretation of patriot
ism, the Wilsonian idea of this lofty
attribute of the human heart. He
would revise the Declaration of Inde-
pendence to suit modern conditions.
His New Freedom" is given fresh
inspiration and a more extended def
milton, but behind and back of it all
is the tendency of the distinguished
orator to befog the realities of his
day and generation with glittering
sophistries and changing phrases.
He insists that the enforced stay
of the members of the Senate and
House in Washington "to maintain a
quorum of the houses and transact
public business is an act of patriot
ism and declares with some conde-
scension that he is mighty glad to
stay there and stick by them until ii
is over" How considerate of the
President, but if, as he declared, "it
is patriotic also to know what the
facts are and to face them with can
dor" it is also fair to call attention to
the fact that the patriotism which
is holding the two houses In session
when the people of the country are
urging adjournment is the brand OF
patriotism which has characterized
the present administration through
out; the patriotism" which usurps
the functions of one important de-
partment by another-the arbitrary
control of the legislative branch by
the executive; the patriotism based
upon public patronage used where il
will do the most good, the kind tina
sees a menace in every act that is
contrary to the theory of the Presi.
dent and which is the embodiment OF
his views.
Distrust, suspicion and criticism ap.
peared in almost every paragraph OF
the speech. "Are they tthose whc
insist that things are going wrong
trying to put hope into the hearts OF
men who work and toll every day, OF
rather are they putting discourage.
ment and despair into these hearts p
asked the President. And in thii
question he betrayed the whole weak.

SUN YAT-SEN'S LATEST

L. finance a new revolution in
China. America may SYM
pathize with DIR. Sun, but not to the
extent of a million dollars. The man
who was prime mover in the overthrow
of the Manchus may have been very
shabbily treated by those who sue
ceeded him in power, and he doubt
less was, but the new government
seems to be succeeding much better

is barking up the wrong tree when
he tries to keep himself in the lime

dition by starting a new war in war
ridden China.

Fairgrounds for Grown-ups

already established, but they have a
more important work In extending
the municipal equipment for the
pleasure and exercise Of all people.
It is to be noticed that the term re
creation takes the place Of play
ground" in the new legislation. 1t
%broadens to the inclusion of adults,
who may not play" but will be per-
mitted recreation. Already in the
cities that are about to be equipped
with the new board there is a we'll
advanced discussion of the use Of
bits of land that are idle, even If no
more than a house lot, for recreation
grounds. 1t is to be expected that
the view will presently include soma
outlying lands that have little pros
pect Of development for the sports
that require room.
Precedent for Public Links.
Going back to the land from which
golf was imported and where 1t had
an inconspicuous place for three cen
turtles, or more, before it, of a sud-
den, broke into favor 3O-odd years
ago, there is ample precedent for the
free public golf courses. Edinburgh
has long had them and the Scottish
towns are following the city's exam
pie, with the result that the sport
is shared by all the people who have
any inclination toward it without: the
necessity of belonging to q club or
even of paying the fee that some Of
the clubs make the only condition Of
the use of their links. There are
American instances, but they are, so
far as is known, confined to the set
ting aside some part of the park sys-
tenn for the sport. The public golf
links are not yet widely realized in
this country. They would seem not
ito be far in the future. There is
not a city of New England, it may
be said, that has not near at hand
the land that is available because 1t
is almost useless now and yet capa-
BILE Of development into links that
would equal in attraction those Of the
clubs. The same sentiment that up
holds the setting aside of Fairgrounds
for the boys and girls will operate to
make the golf course and the tennis
cour the common field Of pleasure
to the people who would otherwise
be denied the opportunity to indulge
in the games.
Ball Field For Boys.
No added word should be needed
in behalf of the ball field for the boys
of the town. It might be left to the
pressure from the boys II 1t were
not true that any number of New
England towns are still lacking the
public provision for them. The boys
are left to be trespassers or are
favored by some private land owner
who was once a boy and has not
forgotten it. There is common agree
ment that the play field shall be
municipality provided, but it has ye1
to be realized in many of the larger
towns Of the region. Sentiment Of
this sort does not stand still, and
1t is not likely to be far in the fu-
ture that every town that has pride
in the completeness of its outfit for
the common benefit will have not on
" the ball field for the boys, but
the tennis courts, and certainly the
golf links for the grown-ups.
