TRYING TO TURN BACK
THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK

Having failed in the main design
to turn back the hands of the
clock. so far as business is con-
cerned. by immutable economic
laws that could not be changed,
and not having been able to bring
about return to a multiplicity of
little businesses in place Of the
"big business which has been the
glory of America, the iconoclasts
while still harassing business as
best they may, are intent now on
vital changes in the fundamental
law, or in the statue law, that they
may better wage their campaign
of destruction. They propose pro-
hibitive laws to supplement those
already on the statute books. They
wish national primary for the
nomination of presidential candi-
dates. being convinced that by un-
dermining the whole principle of
representative government and sub
stituting therefor an ostensibly
pure popular government they can
raise to places of authority more
dernagogues than now occupy i'm
portant offices. 1t is plan to
PROSTATE intelligence and intel.
lectual honesty, plan to apotheo-
size ephemeral public opinion, to
weaken further organized authority
and to substitute popular license
for that liberty which has been the
boast and the guarantee OF Ameri-
can ninstitutions.-Phi Pub

the general regulation of the corpora
tons regardless of petition.
In its essential the Public Service
Commission is a recognition of the
fact that monopolies are bound to
exist and are not entirely undesir-
able. particularly along the lines COW
cred by the utilities law. and that
State regulation of such monopolies
may make them serve the public bet
ter than would be possible under the
most strenuous competition. So long
as the public is we'll and cheaply
served it has little interest in whether
or not the company with which 1t
deals has exclusive privileges.
1t has come to be recognised that
efficient public service supervision
will make possible further reductions
in public utility charges. Monopoly
should reduce operating cost, capital
expenditure and risk. The great trou-
BILE has been that monopolies too Of
ten have inflated their capital and
have raised rates to care for the in
creased interest charges due to this
water in the stock. Proper public
regulation will prevent both over
capitalization and undue increases of
charges to patrons. It will likewise
reduce risk and these savings should
in the long run be very beneficial to
the public at large.

THE UNDERWRITERS TRUsr

IF what Colonel Demming said of the
Underwriters Association before
the Shamrock flremen the other
evening be true, Harrisburgers will
lsel5e that no time will be lost in taking
the organization into court, as the
Colonel threatens.
Colonel Demming is entirely right
when he says that Harrisburg's fire
loss in recent years would Justify a
reduction of local insurance rates
rather than the increase for which II
appears SO evident the underwriters
are endeavoring to find excuse. II will
be remembered that every policyholder
paid his share of increased premiums
following the great San Francisco dis
aster, but who has been accorded a
reduction now that the losses of San
Francisco and Baltimore have been
more than made up by the advanced
rates?
If it be true that the Underwriters
Association is trust or Illegal combi-
nation with power to regulate fire in
su7ance' rates at will, 1t is a more
np6tent factor in the affairs of the pub
lie than a steel. OIL or many another
much condemned trust possibly could
be.
At all events, it cannot be denied
that the underwriters have dealt very
harshly with Harrisburg. and they
should know that the property owners
of this city will not easily submit to
any unjustified increases of fire rates

SAFETY IN MINING

YAMES E. RODERICK, head of the
State Bureau of Mines, is right in
line with the Safety First" move
ment that Is sweeping like wildflre
throughout the industries of the land.
Cut the number of accidents in two
in 1914" is his slogan. He has ad-
dressed letter to every mine operator
in the State making this recommen-
dation, asserting that fully so per cent.
of the accidents occurring in the coal
and ore workings are due to conditions
that could be remedied easily by the
management. Not content with this,
he has instructed mine inspectors to
prosecute all operators who do not
take every known precaution.
Life under ground is hazardous
enough at best and every safeguard
should be thrown about those who
labor in surroundings where death
turks constantly even under the Sc
verest regulations. Chief Roderick is
evidently inspired by the splendid ex-
ample set by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in this respect. Nearly $4,000
has been spent by that corporation
for the purchase of gold-plated but
tons bearing the words Safety First. ."
Employees receiving these buttons are
requested to wear them constantly
while on duty and are told to regard
the inscription as an order from head
quarters to regard safety as the prime
requisite of faithful service.
Does the engineer hesitate between
making up lost time or reprimand at
the end Of the run? Safety First is
to be his excuse. Is the train dis
patcher tempted to overload or the
schedule maker set a faster pace,
Safety First" is the order from the
head of the road.
So it should be in the mines There
can be absolutely no excuse for send
ing men into places known to be
unduly dangerous or for operating ma
chinery known to be faulty. The man
should be first and profit second.
Chief Roderick in his letter to mine
operators is entirely in accord with
public sentiment and the best thought
in corporation management ANY
measures he may deem necessary to
enforce his recommendations will be
heartily supported.

THE STATE OF THE CASE

IN attempting to excuse the caucus
methods and the gag rule which
have characterized the present Ad-
Williams. of Mississippi. one of the
shining lights of the Democracy, re-
Gently taunted q Republican protestant
in the Senate with a story. 1t was
about an old negro woman down In
Greenwood, Mississippi, whose mis-
tress sent for her hurriedly upon the
arrival of unexpected company. The
messenger was her husband and he
went in his touring car. He found
Aunt Martha standing in the middle
of the street with a brickbat in her
hand and indulging in some rather
extreme language.
Aunt Martha" he said, what is
the natter"
Some poor white trash just come
along here" she snorted. with one of
them new machines that run without
any horses and come mighty nigh
running over me. If I could have got
this brickbat in time I would have
stove in his brains"
We'll" replied the man, your mis-
tress wants you now and YOU must
come right away. Get into the auto"
The old darlSy looked little out of
place at first, but finally surrendered
herself to the luxurious cushions.
After while there came crossing the
road a colored man who did not hurry
a bit
{ Run right on" exclaimed Aunt
Martha. "he has no business crossing
the road in front of our car, any
how
That" said Senator Williams, sis
the way / feel"
What more could be said in sub
sanitation of the Republican charge
that the Democratic complaints of mall
treatment at the hands of the Repub-
lfcans; of gag rule under Speaker
Cannon; of boss domination in the
Senate; of disregard for the principles
of civil service; of extravaganza, were
merely flgments of the imagination,
designed to bring the Republican
party into popular disfavor and the
Democratic party into office?
We felt sure all along that such was
the case, but we really didn't think
that Senator Williams would have the
effrontery to admit It.

WHEN EGGS ARE EXPENSIVE

TARM AND FIRESIDE. an agri-
cultural and home journal OF
L wide circulation. publishes an
article of some length by Mary
Hamilton Talbot on How to Cook
Without Eggs" Excusing herself fol
writing thus for farm people. who are
generally supposed to revel constantly
in abundance of milk and eggs, Miss
Talbot says:
When each egg sold means an
the household purse. the careful
housewife is on the lookout for
tasty dishes into which eggs do
not enter.
Miss Talbot's article is interesting
as illustrating the viewpoint of the
rural housekeeper, and it should
afford food for thought for the city
housewife who insists on having eggs
at any price. If an egg sold means an
farmers wife. it is just as true that
an egg unpurchased leaves an addi-
tional five-cent piece in the pocket
book of the city woman. 1t is like
wise quite true that if farm people.
who produce eggs more cheaply than
it is possible for city people to buy
them, are able to deny themselves
their use. so can city people find sub
stitutes therefor during the seasons
when prices are highest.
