OUR IMPRACTICAL SYSTEM

THE officers of the Public Health
Service engaged in the medical
= examination of arriving aliens
are confronted with difficulties
in making their diagnoses of physical
and mental conditions, which seldom
obtain in any other line of medical
work, these difficulties being dependent
upon the various nationalities of the
aliens and the languages and dialects
spoken by them.
The majority of us are apt to con-
slider ourselves linguists when we are
able to say ia" and in travelling in
Europe, the American can get along
very well with that one word in his
vocabulary. 1t will pass in nearly all
countries and the majority Of things
he is asked to do by guides and the
places to which he is asked to go
call for an answer with the use of
that one word. In addition to this
the one idea of the guide in foreign
countries is to separate the American
from his money, and the American in
foreign countries is waiting to have
eAio OpCA deAOh pCllOIIH6ut SO InaL the
use of the happy word ''ia" is satisfac-
tory and sufficient to all persons con-
eerned.
This, however, is not the case at
our immigration stations. The immi-
grants do not want to be separated
from their money, and they do want
to get into the United States. Some
times their inability to understand the
efforts of the medical officers in using
their language must be met by one of
two recourses Either the medical
officers of the Public Health Service
must study number of languages, or
else the government must supply these
adicers with interpreters. It has been

The last murderer ever to be
hanged in Philadelphia was exc
cuted yesterday. The last hanging in
Dauphin county took place some time
ago. There never was any excuse for
the barbarous affairs that disgraced
our laws and our cities in times past
The killing of men in public never did
any good and some of the bungling
butcheries have been shocking and
brutalizing in the extreme.
In the future murderers will be exc
cuted by electricity in a quiet little
cell of the new Western Penitentiary
now being erected in Centre county.
There will be no more congregating OF
the morbidly curious and degenerate
at the jail yard to see fellow being
yanked into eternity at the end of a
rope. The mandates of the law will
be complied with in sane and orderly
manner and the only knowledge the
public will receive of the execution
will be the mere announcement that it
has taken place. There never was ex-
cuse for the jail yard hanging and 1t
Is strange that it was not abolished

the taste for drudgery, and no man
who is unwilling to be a drudge can be
a satisfactory Secretary of State.

~ to the matter will disagree with
= Samuel Rea, president of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, in his as
sertion before the New York Chamber
of Commerce that more than a mere
increase in traffic will be necessary to
put the railroads of the country on
their feet.
1t is apparent to everybody that
something is radically wrong with the
railroads, and the intimation of the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
watered stock and wasteful admins
tration are largely to blame does not
apply in all cases. The Pennsylvania
railroad, for instance, has not one
drop of water in it's stock-never has
had-and in recent years, at least
economy along all possible lines has
been one of the watchwords of the
system.
The time has come when we must
treat the railroads for what they are,
instead of what politicians have told
us they are. The railroads are not
altogether the grabbing. grasping, get
all, give-nothing corporations they
were in the early days of the Goulds
and Vanderbilts, but are in a broad
sense publically owned institutions
managed by men whose jobs depend
on the efficiency of the service and the
dividends they can earn for stockhold-
ers. The roads are owned in large
part by an army of individuals, actual
ly holding their stocks and bonds, and
in part by institutions such as savings
banks, insurance companies, universi-
ties, hospitals and other philanthropic
enterprises, in the welfare of which
many more millions of individuals are
vitality concerned. These are largely
dependent upon income derived from
the money they have invested in the
service of the public. and rightfully
they hold railroad managers respon-
sible for this income. If.dividends are
not forthcoming, thousands of small
shareholders are injured. If service is
sacrificed to earnings, the pubic and
the government step in with protests
and regulations. 1t is obvious that the
men who are responsible should have
some leaway in which to insure both
proper dividends and the service to
which patrons justly believe them
selves entitled.
The advance in freight rates asked
for by the roads must come. If the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
been practical instead of theoretical
every person in the country would now
have been feeling the benefit of the
impetus the increase would have given
to railroad buying of needed supplies.
and we would not now be facing a
raise in passenger rates that will be
saddled largely on a class of passen-
gers that can ill afford to pay it,
