DIR. RAUNICK,s REPORT

~ R. RAUNICK, city health officer,
has given Council plenty to
- think about in the annual re-
port of his department sub
mitted yesterday. Never in the history
of health regulation in Harrisburg has
there been presented such carefully
prepared or comprehensive document.
1t Is replete with suggestions for i'm
provements, and If all of them are
given consideration Commissioner
Bowman and the reappointed Health
Board will have ample to occupy
their attention for the remainder of
the year.
Three or four of Or. Raunick's sug-
sestions are so manifestIy in accord
with the needs of the city that they
are deserving of prompt attention. He
lays stress upon the Importance of
creating the Office of social service
nurse, whose duties would be the edu
cation of mothers in the care of
babies, to the end that the lives of
many little ones now needlessly sac
rificed may be saved. Beyond ques-
tion there is no more important phase
of the great conservation movement
now occupying SO extensively the
thought of the public than that per.
tanning to the preservation of human
life. 1t Is also unquestionably true
that DIR. Raunick is right when he
says that hundreds of babies die an.
nually because of the ignorance o1
parents. The Visiting Nurse Associa.
ltion, the Sunshine Society and Other
organizations have done a good work
along this line in the past, but the
city should not permit "A public duty
10 be performed by private enterprise
and DIR. Raunick is pursuing an ad.
vanced policy in advocating the ap
pointment of a nurse whose especia
care shall be the welfare of the babies

A PROMISE OF PEACE

INSTEAD of the bludgeon. the hang
ing of big business on a gibbet as
i high as Haman and the threat
ened Imprisonment Of manufacture
ers who dared shut down their plants,
there is an entirely different tone in
administration quarters at Washing
ton. Peace hovers over the scene of
revolutionary propaganda and social
istic theory.
There has been transformation
almost over night and the harassed
business man and the menaced manu-
facturer are given the assurance that
the harrow is to be removed from
their backs and industry and the ac-
tivities of trade are to be permitted
to expand without the fear of attack
from all sides.
President Wilson intimates. in Ian
guage which can hardly be misunder-
stood, that the noisy demagogue who
seemed enthroned at Washington has
had his little day and that sane men
are to be given place in the counsels
of the nation. Instead of the ripping
apart of the very fabric of industry
and prosperity there is to be punish
ment only for those guilty of actual
violations of law and no tearing down
of the whole business structure.
Let us hope that the age of reason
has returned and that hysteria has
passed away for good. Trust busting
and the batting of legitimate industry
in the name of industrial reform have
given the nation such an attack of
insomnia that months will be required
to restore the contentment and peace
which are necessary to a country s
welfare.
AS suggested by the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. the "order of the day
has changed; the puerile stage has
passed; the demagogues have had
their holiday rout and sober men in
all parties representing nearly all ac-
tivities and conditions in life will try,
let us hope, to find a remedy for real
evils in an orderly, sane and reason
able attempt to aid the nation, its
business and IT'S people"

THE CURFEW ORDINANCE

T HERE can be no objection to the
enactment of the ordinance now
L before Council barring children
under fourteen years of age
from places of amusement during
school hours or after o'clock in the
evening when not accompanied by
adults. 1t is g. question If the age
limit might not be wisely extended a
year or two.
We have laws requiring children to
attend school and we should not place
in their way any temptation to remain
away from study. Proprietors of NOV
ing picture shows or other such places
who care only for the box office end of
their business will be compelled, un-
der the proposed regulations, to bar
those under age from their shows, and
managers who have been inclined in
that direction. but who have been un-
able to enforce the rule for the reason
that refusal of admission would merely
have driven children to less carefully
conducted places, will welcome the
new ordinance.

CLEARING THE RIVER FRONT

THE suggestion of the Municipal
League that City Council take
L some action looking toward the
requirement of the property
along the River Front throughout that
district known as Hardscrabble is de-
serving of serious consideration.
The plans of the league have not
been announced. Doubtless it's rep
resentatives will have some sugges-
tfons to make when they meet with
the councilmen next week to go over
the matter. The project is not a new
one. 1t has been discussed at intervals
for years and from time to time laid
aside as theoretically good but too ex-
pensive. Now it is again set before
Council, and this time by hard-headed
businessmen who are not in the habit
of recommending undertakings the
financial solution of which they have
not first carefully figured out.
Hardscrabble is practically the only
section of Front street along which
the city does not control its river
front. With the parking of the entire
river bank, the construction of the
retaining wall and steps, it will be the
only break in the park strip from one
end of Harrisburg to the other.
1t is doubtful If the condemnation
OF this piece of property would cost
more than the purchase price to the
owners. Certainly those living on the
east side of the street could not claim
damages, for the improvement would
double the value of their land, which
at this time is not worth nearly so
much as property along other parts
of Front street, due to the fact that
1t has no park frontage and no river
view.
At all events, it is conceded that
this Improvement must be made at
one time or. another, and now is un-
questionably the time to begin to work
toward the desired end.

regularly inspected by Health Board
agents are particularly timely. We
take great pride in the fact that we
have clean streets and health giving
parks. pure water and good milk. II
is equally. ii not more important, thai
we should give careful attention tc
the quality and cleanliness of all ouI
foodstuffs.
The need of a workhouse for the
care Of tramps and others who have
been sleeping in the/unsanitary lock-
up, the improvement of conditions in
the high school. the revision of the
building code. closer attention to
plumbing inspection from a sanitary
standpoint and the overhauling of the
sanitary hospital are other important
points in a report far too voluminous
to be discussed except by sections.

POLES
by Wing DinSer.

Tell me, father, what's that opening
In the sidewalk deep and round?"
'"Tis a sign that poles are leaving,
Cause the wires are underground"
Tell me, father are they going to
Take all of the poles away"
well, my child, that is the fond hope
That we hold for some near day.
But at present, owners tell us,
That some poles they can't discard,
And they have some neat excuses
Which they tear off by the yard"
Tell me father, then how can they
Span with wires the ocean blue,
For there's no place there for pole
Can't we do what others do?
Course 1 know twill be heart-rending
To the office -seekin~ men
For. when all poles are dismantled
Where will they tack their cards
then?
Father, dear if poles are eyesores
All should go, both lean and fat,
For a pole whats'er it's purpose
Is pole for a of that"
Hush, my child, these silly questions
Ask me something that I know
Bout these poles none will be wiser
Till thew see the last one CO."

KICK ON LYBARCER
IS HEARD ALREADY
City Democrats Object to Him as
a Candidate For Lesisla-
ture Again
ARE FAVORED BY THE BOSSES
Scoutmaster Morris Issues a Call
to Democrats to Be Very
Cautious

Pemocrats prominent in the work
of the Democratic city committee and
in the Democratic clubs are COM
mencing to show resentment of the
effort of the bosses to force the nom-
ination Of Jesse J. Lybarger as one of
the candidates for the House in the
city district this year. They contend
that Lybarger is shop worn, as he was
a candidate twice and each time went
down with big majorities against him.
Lybarger is said to be willing to
make another try and will in the
course OF a few weeks come this way
again. He Is something of speech
maker and arrangements are being
framed to have him make a keynote"
speech at one of the clubs.
The Democratic city committee is
composed of men not very favorable
to the bosses, although they have not
made an issue out of 1t. If the dis
there may be q breach and the success
sor to Howard o. Holstein as city
chairman may be an out and out anti
boss chairman.
The appointment of Jim Magee as
the United States marshal in this dis
trict caused a number of Dauphin
Democrats to SEND
him their congratula-
Magee to tions; while up n
Take Hold Perry his neighbors
Very Soon gave him quite a tri-
butte in the way of
calls and letters. Mr..
Magee will enter upon his Office in a
short time as Marshal James NJ. Yea
ger has everything ready to turn over
to him. 1t is believed that Magee will
have his headquarters here and will
name a man from this region as a
deputy. Mr.. Magee is son of for
mer congressman, the last congress
a position himself in the internal reve-
nue. office in Lancaster under Ray
mond f. Shearer who was collector
under Cleveland. Magee's selection is
taken to mean that Democrats around
here must not get too insistent in de-
mands for jobs.
Democratic State machine bosses are
wondering what Will be the effect OF
is. Morris best known
as the scoutmaster has
sent out through the Morris Is
State in the form of a Playing
Jackson day address the Game
Morris made a speech
at a recent Jackson
dinner in which he pointed to his own
I select band of factionists as the salt
of the Democracy. The excuse for
the issuance of the address is Jackson
but the tenor of it is that Democrats
should not sign the nominating petit
| tions of any candidates except tried
and true Democrats, tried and true
being men aligned with tbs reorgani-
zation gangsters. Morris is said to be
much disturbed over the prospect that
the anti-gangsters will force a meet
| ing of the Democratic State commit
, tee after the election of State commit
teemen in May and throw him out
| This address is taken to be a call for
his friends to line up. 1t will likely
have the effect of solidifying the
enemies of the gang which is behind
