LAND LAWS HELP
 MONOPOLISTS

Discussing the operation of the law reserving for the government SO.rod strips of land between entries of all kinds abutting on the shores of navi- gable waters in Alaska. suryeyor.Gen- eral Davidson said:
 Although the Act theoretically pre- vents a monopoly of water frontage, and does so as far as title is concern. ed, but not as to occupancy and use. For example, a company, corporation or an individual acquires title to a tract through the provisions of the law as above, which has a water frontage of 40 chains, then at a distance of 20 chains in both directions along the shore from the entered tract the own. CT can acquire title to another tract of the same frontage on the shore of the same body of navigable water. While it is true that the owner of the adjacent tracts cannot secure u- tie 70 the reserved spaces, neither can anyone else Although the Govern ment will not alienate these reservs, it does not prohibit the use of them in an unexclusive way. It frequently oc- CUTS that the same person or corpora tion owns the land on each of the re- served spaces; it gives them better opportunity of using it than other par. ties have, and they do not hesitate to avail themselves of it, if it is to their interest to do so, Of course, they do not place expensive improvements on the reserve spaces, but utilize them in var ous ways in the conduct of their business, the plants of which are sit. uat d on their adjoining holdings.
 "i5o far as freedom for landing of ships or vessels of any sort is con cerned, 1t may be said that in most cases no vessels visit such localities, excepting those belonging to the plants, or steamers for transporting the pro ducts of the plants to markets"

upset of business and the destruction
of prosperity is treated as of no
moment whatever by the accidental
administration leaders. Business men
and working men will hail with Joy
the adjournment of Congress and the
shutting down of the legislative mills.
Instead of doing everything to create
confidence and restore the country's
equilibrium President Wilson and those
under his thumb are doing everything
within their power to complete the
Decentralization for which they are
responsible.
Not satisfied to wait the results Of
the new tariff and currency legislation.
the President insists upon more law
making, and Congress proceeds to do
his bidding. Republicans who left the
party in 1919 are seeing the dire re-
suits Of party division as demon
strated by the work Of the minority
now in power and 1t is not remarkable
that the breech is rapidly healing in
every election district of the United
States We shall not be greatly sur.

tablet. A triangular-shaped bottle
with rough glass corrugations along
the surface Is a suggested safeguard
designed to be warning for the hand
that grasps and the eye that sees.
Practically all foreign countries have
adopted these distinctive shapes for
bottles containing poisons or medi-
cines for external use only.
The unusual shape of both container
and tablet is desirable, because they
are entirely different from those of
bottles and tablets in general use. An
other protection might be the, general
use of the name corrosive subli-
mate" In place of the technical name,
"bichloride of mercury" which has a
harmless sound to 1t. Should this
older name be used more people would
recognize it as a poison.

fruit in an adjoining orchard that was
guarded by civil service" bars, the
Donkey" kicked these bars to the
four winds and again did revel in {;
feast of the fruits. Young Nation, 7
being anxious to proceed, used the
lash upon the Donkey" whereupor
the animal started to plunge and
kick, destroying entirely the "Protec-
ton Bars" that Young Nation" had
spent so many years in building, and
making savage attacks upon Panama
Canal" which had cost Young Ma
ton" much treasure.
AT length they arrived at q neigh
boris field where the cattle were
fighting and killing each other, and
also destroying everything in sight
whereupon the Donkey" assumed
"watchful waiting" attitude, and
many times did Young Nation" lona
for his big strong, and patient "Ele
phant," to carry him on his journey1
realizing now that he had exchanged
quiet, comfortable progress for ques
tionable activity.

POLITICAL SIDEuCHTS

Wonder if any post office scandals
will turn up In this county.
The excuse for Cabinet officer
Wilson taking part in behalf of fac
tional ticket before the primary will
probably be that he lives In this State
President Wilson is likely to hear
war in Pennsylvania before he does of
war in Mexico.
--Penrose is to speak at Butler on
May s.
Apparently Wilson Bailey is not
the only man in the Democratic ma
chine who has contributions on the
brain.
John McClain, a Ligonier coal op-
orator, will run for the legislature.
Ryan is going to Greensburg on
Monday to start a back fire against
Mccormick.
DR.. Peters, Of Boiling Springs,
also refuses to play dead to let Rep
resentative Barner have a clear track.
Judge Garman appears to have
disturbed some dreams.
Its all right for a federal cabi-
net officer to come into this State to
make speeches for a factional Demo-
cratic candidate but when any judge
happens to take notion to talk
against the hand-picked federal can
didates it's a crime.

THE GENTLEMANLY SNAKE

BY Wing Dinger
We are told that of all snakes and rep
tiles
On which Ireland's saint placed the
ban,
There's one that is polished in man
And well may be termed gentle
man."
It's the rattler. who always serves
notice
Whenever his liver's not right,
BY giving three shakes Of his rattle,
Which means that he's ready to fight.
In walking, IL you should step on one,
Ask pardon as soon as It's done.
And IL he replies with a rattle
It doesn't mean granted" but run
For a gentleman snake is no different
Than the man who I'm sure would
attack,
Regardless of all his good manner
The boob that had stepped on his
back.
The snakes. Just remember. have feel
ings,
And If you would make them your
friends,
Be kind TO them. specially the rattlers,
Who are manners from middle to
ends

A DISPATCH from Kearny, n. J.,
n announces that William Davies,
\ 2S years old, of Bolton, Eng
land, died there of bichloride
of mercury poisoning.
Reports of the reckless use of tablets
of bichloride of mercury for suicidal
purposes-accidental or Intentional
stare us in the eyes almost daily.
There is no reason under the sun why
bichloide Of mercury tablets should
be allowed a place on the family
medicine shelf. There are many
household remedies, such as boric
acid, peroxide of hydrogen, alcohol
and common table salt. which are
almost equally efficacious as antisep-
tics and quite harmless. This old and
time-honored drug is not a safe house.

soning by absorption when used To-
cally. 1t is not convenient house

with which it comes in contact and
renders indelible any stains In fabrics.
Physicians and nurses are In a large
measure responsible for the wide
spread use of this corrosive poison as
a local antiseptic; and. as a result.
these deadly tablets are placed side by
side with headache remedies, soda
mint tablets, laxative pills, boric acid.
bicarbonate of soda and other tablets
or drugs for household uses This
familiarity robs these poison tablets
of the proper consideration and an
prehension with which they should be
regarded and renders them a constant
menace to the safety of the family.
The indiscriminate sale of bichlo-
ride tablets by the druggist is also an
important reason for the increased
number of these bichloride suicides
The promiscuous sale of these deadly
but Misunderstanding tablets should
be regulated and restricted.
The safeguard and protection for
the public lies in stopping the sale of
these poison tablets, except by physi-
clans prescription; in forcing the
manufacturers to make them q dis
tinctive color--blue being the color
used in hospitals--to serve as an iden-
tification; to have each tablet manu.
factured in a unique shape and have
the container a bottle of unusual
shape and the label Of uncommon

WILSON'S NEW FREEDOM

Having read the dispatches from
Washington, I suggest a new way to
get things done better than you now
have them done:
Hire blacksmith to do your cook
ing
Engage doctor to try your lawsuit
and lawyer to attend your sick child.
Employ a bootblack to paint your
portrait and farmer to make your
clothes.
Let photographer do the engineer
ing work on your new landscape gar
den.
While your chauffeur takes your
dictation and writes your letters. or
der your typewriter to run the auto
mobile.
Have broker build your new house
and a carpenter conduct the health
bureau.
Most important of all, have the rail-
road trains to which you commit your
family run by political bureau In
Washington.
This last suggested plan is very
popular with legislators, on the theory
that those who now operate the rail-
roads know least about them.--

LOUD MURMURINGS

~ ROM every section of the country
II mighty wave of protest against
i the continued harpooning of busi-
ness by the Wilson administration
is rising and it must be evident to the
theoretical gentlemen at Washington
that the people are becoming aroused
as they have not been aroused since
the last Democratic experiment. The
material prosperity of the country is at
stake and. as stated in a dispatch from
Chicago, antagonists of the Wilson
regime may be placed in two classes.
One. consisting mainly of corporation
people and other business men who
regard the present administration as
the enemy Of business and who Won
der how long the oppression is to last,
and the other a vastly more numerous
class made up of the smaller business
people who believe that their pros
perity has been marred by the enact
ment Of the tariff law and who look to
the future in gloomy mood. In this
class are the farmers who now realize
that the idleness of great armies of
industrial workers means a reduction
of the buying power and consequently
a loss of prosperity for the farmer
Perhaps the most depressing phase
of the Wilson attitude in the matter
of legislation calculated to disturb
business Is the administration obsti-
nate adherence to the mistaken sup
position that the country in 1912 gave
to a minority party. accidentally
elected to office. a mandate to subject
the corporate organization of industry
to the oppressive exactions of om-
nipotent bureaucrats. This is the view
of the New York Sun and of other
metropolitan newspapers which have
heen closely investigating the con-
ditions throughout the country.
There is disregard at Washington
of all the signs OF unrest and the

A SHADE TREE COMMISSION

N n UTILIZATION Of the shade trees
M of Harrisburg under the guise
AVx Of trimming" has been worse
this Spring than ever On q
number Of Allison Hill streets, for in
stance, well-formed, symmetrical trees
have been cut off to hideous stumps.
and everywhere the man with the
hatchet and saw is welding his vandaI
tools.
The time is ripe for the appointment
of shade tree commission. We have
had the law for 1t for seven years, but
never the inclination in City Council.
Overhead wire companies, as this
newspaper we'll knows. have been back
OF the sentiment" that has from time
to time been worked up to prevent
Council from passing a shade tree or
dinance. That the people of this city
are fond of their trees and that the
old spirit of ''Woodman, Spare That
Tree is alive and militant in Har-
risburg, is evident from the very fact
that citizens have protested against
the appointment of shade tree COM
mission when they have been led to
believe by selfish interests that their
trees were to be endangered thereby.
The truth is that commission such
as contemplated would do anything
but order the cutting down Of trees.
Its whole business would be to protect
them, to see that new ones were
planted and old ones properly
trimmed. A part of its duty would be
to prevent the butchery that is now
so noticeable every Spring and Fall,
and which results in the destruction
of so many beautiful trees.
Steelton is preparing to place its
trees under the care of such a COM
mission, the act of Assembly having
been accepted two years ago. The
commission would include three per-
sons. D. af+l
