PENNsYLyANIA's GRAND PRIZE

lFrom Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.l
The Department of Health of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has
been awarded the grand prize for its
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco. Health Com
missioner Dixon, who planned and ar
ranged the display, is given honorable
mention by the international jury.
This is the only exhibit made at the
exposition on the part of the State. 1t
relates to school hygiene, tuberculosis
and typhoid fever and is a demon
stration of the progress and methods
of Pennsylvania in these lines of
human conservation. The exhibit was
made by invitation and designation of
the commission authorities, who asked
Pennsylvania to provide it because our
Department of Health stands at the
front of all similar public agencies in
the United States. The funds-S20, 900
were supplied by State Panama
Pacific Commission out of it's appro-
priation-the first time any commits
sion employed its finances in this COM
mendable manner. There are included
in the display 436 separate exhibits
| They cover the organization of the
State Department of Health, school
medical inspection, transmissible affec-
| ticns common to school ages, tubercu-
losis work and typhoid fever. AS far as
| possible everything is visualized OF

colored transparencies, photographs

| legends, casts, mounted specimens
etc, so that the layman may be en-.
lightened and informed as we'll as the
scientist or student. 1t is doubtful
whether there has ever been anythins
quite like this exhibition in the coun-
try--certainly none as modern and as

who goes to the exposition can afford

a better appreciation of the strong DO.

STRIKING DOWN LOOSE LAWS
[From the Pittsburgh DispatchI

More loose legislation of the recent
Assembly session at Harrisburg is
brought to light by the Illuminating
vetoes of Governor Brumbaugh, par
ticularly those of Tuesday, dealing
with the subject of precautions for
the safety of human life in theaters
and moving picture houses, and the
power of police authority to suppress
immortality in public stage exhibitions.
The purpose of these bills, or the
effect of them, according to the Gov
ernor, was to curtail the restrictive
power of officials with regard to pub
lie places of amusement to such an
extent that 1t would have amounted
almost to practical notification of ef-
fective supervision anG direction; and
would have permitted managers to
engage in a continuous "go-as-you-
please" in the display of films and the
protection of human life.
Considering the cogency of the Gov
ernor's points as to these important
matters. and his wisdom in this light
in striking down the bills, a feeling
of surprise is created that the char
acter of the legislation was not per
ceived while 1t was pending in the As
sembly, and the death blow given it
there.

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Colonel House, Texas politician of the
millionaire variety and trusted friend of
Germany. and England. He brings de-
NAL on his lips that he was sent to
the other side as the personal repre-
idea of taking soundings with peace

his friend in the White House, but
collected in an unofficial capacity His
opinion of the situation, which he has
permitted to go to the public through
the newspapers, is this:

the other has won smashing victories
that will leave no reasonable doubt as
lighting would be. or after both sides
have fought each other to a point of
exhaustion.
1t is much to be desired that peace
shall not come after exhaustion, for it
would be temporary only. Far better
that the outcome of the fighting shall
be conclusive. so that when a settle
ment is effected it will be a lasting
one. The world never wishes to see
another such disaster forced upon it.
Before there can be peace, Belgium,
of course, must be restored to its peo-
Pile. And unless a death blow shall be
given to militarism as fostered ana
built up by military cabal in Berlin,
the war will have been fought in vain.
To plunge Germany, which was pro-
crossing so splendidly in the arts of
peace. Into bloody strife for no pur-
pose than to serve the mad ambition of
the Maniac of Europe, was a crime so
black as to be utterly Incompetent

IMPROVEMENT SPIRIT
TIME public improvements start
many years ago in Harrisbu

TINE public improvements started
many years ago in Harrisburg
are nearing completion. Almost
all of the money provided through
the various loans has been expended.
The city is about to celebrate the ac-
complishment of the plans and efforts
of a decade and half. But the pub
lie spirit that took Harrisburg out of
the class of sleepy inland towns and
made a progressive city of it is very
much alive. No better proof of this
need be cited than that on one day
this week two noted landscape archi-
tects, one in the employ of the NUM-
cipal League, the other in the pay of
the city, came to Harrisburg with in
structions TO outline plans for the fu-
ture.
Mr.. Manning is looking to the time
when both sides of the river basin
produced by the construction of the
now nearly finished dam at the lower
end of town shall be the great pleas
ure resort of the people, and he is

Identification of both banks, not only
of the Susquehanna, but of the Con-
odoguinet creek as far up stream as
the first dam, the marking of all shall
lows and the deepening of the boat
channels. Some of this work may
not be done in the immediate future,
but its accomplishment is not so far off
as some of the developments contem-
plated in the first improvement loan
appeared to be at the time that increase
of debt was before the people for dis
cussion. The City Planning Commits
sion is wisely looking into the future
The results of its work will be best
seen dozen years from now. Had it
been created twenty-five or fifty years
ago, Harrisburg would be much better
off to-day in very many respects.

WONDERFUL $4,000, 900 FAMILY
(From Leslie's.)

Few persons are aware that more
than 22,000,000 human beings, or
nearly one-quarter of our entire
population, depend directly for their
livelihood on the manufacturing in
dustries of the United States. This
includes the 9,000.00 employees of the
various establishments and the mem
bers OF their families. The total in
Vestment in the industrial plants of
this country is S24, ,000,00 and the
normal yearly output aggregates $685.
O0,0OO,0O0. This production is over
twice that of the country ranking next
in industrial activity It exceeds
largely the amount of the manufac-
lures of Great Britain and Germany
combined, and is worth three times
as much as the annual agricultural
yield of the United States or Russia.
The manufacturing interest is thus
seen to be of stupendous Importance
in our national life. The largest and
strongest organization of manufactur-
ers in the world Is the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers of the
United States of America, known for
short from the chief initial letters as
'Namusa." This body has about A.

nesses and employ nearly 5000, 900

PASTEURIZE THE MILK

T<YPHOID fever has broken out
in Harrisburg on a scale that
has alarmed the health authori-
ties. Health officer Raunick advises
everybody to pasteurize the milk used
for family purposes. Not only does
he recommend that the consumer in
sist upon the dealer pasteurizing his
product, but he urges that all milk be
repasteurized"-that is, pasteurized
in the home.
Pasteurized milk is absolutely harm
less, no matter how many typhoid
germs it may have contained in the
untreated stage. There is nothing din
cult about pasteurization. All that is
necessary is to set the milk bottle on
the stove in a deep pan of water and
let the water come to the boiling
point. The milk is permitted to cool
slowly in the water and is then trans
ferred to the Ice box.
The process Is simple and protec-
ton is absolute. 1t is the cheapest
form of health insurance known and
parents who fail to take the precau-
ton, especially at this time when the
need is greatest, make themselves
criminally responsible for resulting
illness of their children.

er shall obtain foothold close to our
boundaries on our own continent. We
feel that our national security re-
quires this. Would we consent to
submit this question to a world court?
No nation will submit a really vital
question involving its national life to
world court and then keep the
agreement If the decision is adverse.
1t is evident that the agreement of
submission should itself provide ex-
actly what vital questions shall be ex-
cluded. In other words, that the sig
natory powers Shall by solemn cove
nant agree as to their respective
rights, which shall not be questioned:
that they shall agree that all other
questions arising between them shall
be submitted to a court"
This agreement would provide that
the territory OF each of the contract
ing powers should be inviolate: that
each should be guaranteed absolutely
it's sovereign rights in certain other
particulars, including, for instance,
the right to decide the terms on which
D0 dQInlIIeQ, 10
regulate it's domestic affairs in its own
way and such other questions as the
contracting powers considered affect
ed their vital interests or the vital in
terests of any of them. These speci-
fed questions ought not to be submit
ted to the court; they ought to be
mutually guaranteed in advance. and
then all matters not so specified
should be subject to the jurisdiction
of the international tribunal.
Here you have the jurisdiction of
the court definitely laid down in the
treaty creating it, just as the juris-
diction OF our Federal Supreme Court
is laid down in the American Consti-
tuition, which was the compact be-
tween the thirteen States upon which
our present Federal government was
established. Wider jurisdiction can af-
forwards be conferred as circumstances
may justify, but this more extensive
jurisdiction would be granted only
after the federation had become "a
more perfect union" and when there
should be established a sufficient sane
tion of it's DEGREES.

TAFTs PEACE PROPOSAL,

TIME League of Nations for Peace
which former President Taft
suggests, and the formation OF
which is to be discussed this week in
Independence Hall, Philadelphia, is
by no means the impractical plan that
most international peace proposals
have proved to be. Like everything
else that former President Taft has
advocated, it is feasible and workable.
1t probably represents the utmost
limit toward which the great powers
would be willing to go to-day And,
indeed, in one particular, it includes
more than some of these powers will
be willing to concede of their individ-
ual sovereignty and independence.
All justiciable questions, says the
proposal, are to be submitted to an
international tribunal for hearing and
judgment, both upon the merits and
upon any issue as to its jurisdiction of
the question.
But what are justiciable questions? :?
They may be defined as questions of
law or fact relating to the interpreta-
ton of a treaty or the obligations of
international law. But this definition
is most elastic. International 1urts-
prudence is yet in a rudimentary con-
dition and its principles. many of
them, are undetermined. No one
knows yet just how far they may be
extended by construction.
And now we come to the much dis
puted question whether nations should
agree to refer questions affecting their
honor and vital interests to an inter
national court. Here we are in this
dilemma. If a treaty agreeing to sub
NIT disputes to such a court should
exclude all such questions then al
most any question may be considered
question of honor or vital interest at
the will of the nation so desiring. and
the treaty will mean very little. On
the other hand, If questions of honor
and vital interest are included in the
things to be submitted, then If a vital
interest is really affected, the prob
abilities are very strong that the de-
cree of the court will not be acquies-
ced in by the losing party. Germany
considered that her vital interests de-
manded a passage through Belgium
into France, so the treaty became a
"scrap of paper" America thinks
that her vital interests require that no
