Fearing TO he caught unaware in the
matter Of thorough enforcement of the
government regulations and spurred 10

Philadelphia Division Board iof Steam

active
Captain R. A. Sargent. chief navigat
ing inspector Of the district. admitted
that his Office was looking over all Of
the boats in the port of Philadelphia.
and that. he was convinced from what
he had seen so far that the owners and
masters were keen to observe the law.
The authority for making a reinspection
is vested with the inspectors, and the
law on this subject is quite plain. It
gives the inspectors control of the situa.
tion and makes their work of enforcing
the regulations quite easy. The law
shows clearly that there is nothing Ia
prevent the inspectors from taking ac.
tion whenever they are convinced that
the operation Of any vessel is a menac,
TO life.
In fact, as one steamship man put il
yesterday, tile inspectors can tie up any
boat in the harbor at any time.
As an example of the manner IL
which the steamboat inspection is car
ried on. and TO show Just what is ex
acted of ire vessels Captain Scrgent dis

FINES PAID

Federal Inspectors Keeping
Close Watch for ViolatorS Of
Regulations on Two Rivers
FIVE MEN
ROUND UP $3.50

When the Philadelphia Customs
House closed last night, the United
States Treasury was just S1,440 richer
because owners OF power boats oper-
ating on the Delaware and Schuylkill
Rivers had failed to comply with the
safety regulations laid down by the
United States Department OF Com
merce.
Five navigation inspectors whose
only duty is to patrol the two rivers
in search of violations of government
regulations have caused fines
to be imposed on $50 motorboatmen
so far this summer About half this
number have learned their lesson
and paid When the remaining half
pay It is estimated the receipts from
such penalties will reach s2.500.
If you own a motorboat there is no
chance TO escape a fine If you do not
comply with the safety rules The
statement that you knew nothing OF
the requirements will do no good
Your Uncle Samuel believes that II

norance Of the act Of Congress passed
in 1910. providing a maximum pen

Governmental Mechanics

Huebsch has recently published one of
the clearest criticisms that has yet been
written of political institutions in Amer
lea, Government for the People" trans
lates into definite language what still
remains for a large part of the public
vague sense that something is some
how wrong with the governmental mech
anism One book is written by Thomas
III. Reed, associate professor of govern
ment in the University OF California, "A
man who shares the progressive spirit
of the times and who has actively par
ticipated i'm the political drama in the
State OF Hiram Johnson.
In an Introductory chapter Professor
Reed discusses the function OF citizen
ship. He says: I'VE frequently speak
of the duty OF the citizen to participate
with his whole heart and mind in the
determination OF public questions as a
duty that he owes TO the State. IL is in
fact a duty that he owes, because he is
the State. II is a duty owed not to a
cold abstraction, but to his fellow men"
He finds that the criminal voter is the
most common type of criminal we have,
and that the failure OF Demos to rule in
the United States with the good results
that might have been expected is due
to two causes: First. Indifference: and,
second, the failure of our governmental
machinery to establish the responsibility
of its several agents. He then proceeds
to discussion of the place OF political
parties, misrepresentation In legislatures
the corrupting long ballot. big business
and organized vice as causes OF corrupt
politics, the initiative, referendum and
recall and experts in State and local ad-

Applying Darwin
to Sociology

y
SO great IL the deluge OF books. even
OF excellent ones, in the sociological field
that II would be easy to underestimate
the value Of Professor Keller's "Socletae
Evolution" (Macmillan Company. N. W.
In this book the author continues the
work so ably begun by his predecessor
in the professorshlp of the science of So
ciety In Yale University. william Graham
summers remarkable studies OF folkways
and the "mores' furnish the starting
point and much Of the illustrative ma
terial.
Professor Keller seeks to apply Dar-
wnism to sociology and by this means to
provide an orentation for the study of
human society. Evolution Is by no means
new term in sociological literature. and
the treminology of evolution has been
used by many writer's, but II has usually
been Spencerian evolution, rather than
Darwlnian, and the use OF the termin-
olosy has seldom resulted in anything
more valid than reasoning from analogy,
The salient features of Darwinian evo-
luton are, OF course, variation, heredity
and selection, with fourth factor. adam
tation. which is the product of the other
three. Professor Keller seems to have
succeeded in finding in the societal field
something that actually is variation
without regard to its resemblance to
what is called variation in the organic
field. and so on, with the other evolu-
tionary factors.

ARRESTED FOR EVIL HOUSING
Five Tenement Proprietors Accused
of Violating Law

Revolting conditions exist in many
tenement houses throughout the city,
according to Arthur L. Buchholz, super
visor OF the Department of Sanitation
in the Bureau of Housing, and, as a
result Of an investigation, ne caused the
arrest of FIVE proprietors today who
are accused Of violating the act of June
II, 1915, which provides that up-to-date
conveniences shall be installed in every
tenement house.
The defendants, all of whom were ten
ants, declared they could not get the
owners Of the buildings to make the i'm
provements required to conform with the
new law. AS they assumed the RESPONSE
bility, however, this excuse was not ac-
cepted.
It was charged that conditions in the
houses they occupy were unspeakable,
and the new law was ignored i'm many
respects. They we're held for a further
hearing next Wednesday, by Magistrate
Pennock. in the Central Police Court.
The defendants are Thaddeus Wedlock,
1881 Kenilworth street; John Maune, 9O9
Poplar street: Anna Manon, 9l6 Lombard
street; Joseph Garollo, 62o North Sd street.
and Michael Hervitz, 1893 Pine street.

Frank Harris
Chooses Germany

Frank Harris is always brilliant jour
nalist and often an indiscreet one. In
England or Gepmany-7" (The Wilmarth
Press, New York; he Is both. His sum-
mary OF England's social organization and
its Acontrast with those Of France and
Germany is brilliant, II It is frankly jour
nalese the gathering together OF articles
also indscreet; for II answers the aues-
tion OF it's title I'm favor Of Germany.
Frank Harris has a right to his estimate
OF Englands landed plutocracy. We talk
much Of England's democracy-and It's
parliamentary system doubtless achieves
the will OF its voters far better than ours
but the fact remains that manhood suf-
frage IS unknown in the British Isles.
Justice, moreover. is devious, expensive
and one-sided affair In a land that stands
by the criminal absurdity," the greater
the truth, the greater the libel" Through
all the muddle of England's Industrial in
Justice and its malignant poverty Mr..
Harris can trace the source straight back
10 the fact that English landed property
has never had the shake-up and redivi-
sion which the French Revolution accom-
plished and which Germany has achieved
to a considerable extent
But admitting Engiand's ills and Ger
many's virtues, why pray for a victory
that will entail the downfall OF that ma
uon which embraces most of the virtues
of England and Germany and fewest of
their failings-France? The answer is
the deepness and bitterness OF Mr.. Har-
ris hate of his once native land.
As for the indlscretion-well, does Mr.
Harris really care TO see a new awaken
ing to power of that principle of mill
tary caste upon which England's plu-
tocracy was founded? Germany and Ger
man kultur bring untold gifts, but also
curse of terrible and bitter power.
