than through the newspapers.
We believe Governor Henderson
will find this policy helpful and salts
factory to him in the capacity of chief
executive, as we'll as to the people,
and we predict hat with this broad
attiture towards representatives of
the press he will find them discreet
and worthy of his full confidence.
Moreover, the newspapermen cam
assist the Governor through their
contact with the people and their
knowledge of public sentiment, to-
wards making his administration a
success. Many a high public official
has found the sympathy, co-opera-
ton n activities of newspaper re-
porters helpful in the carrying out OF
needful movements affecting the public
interests, and in avoiding i~ll-advised
and untimely . mistakes IN public
policy.
Governor Henderson's attitude to-
wards the newspapermen should be
fruitful of good results. They can be
of real help to him in the perform
ance of his responsible and arduous
duties, and his rank and friendly
treatment of them in the beginning
will stimulate in them additional eff
forts in that direction.

DIR. DIxoN's WORK

DR. SAMUEL G. DIXONrS reap
pointment as State Health
Commissioner was a matter OF
course. His devotion to the interests
of the State. his superior qualifications
for a most difficult post and his large
experience in hygienic work constitute
a record of fitness which could not
easily be surpassed in this country or
in any other.
DR.. Dixon is the founder OF the
comprehensive plan OF relief for the
tuberculosis sufferers Of Pennsylvania,
which is now attracting the attention
OF the whole world, but his energies
are not confined TO this one impor-
tant development of lis great depart
ment. He is conserving in every di-
rection the health of the people and
while much of what is being done un-
der the direction of his department is
|~unheralded and, perhaps, / n a measure
unappreciated, it is being driven home
to the minds OF all classes that DR..
Dixon is a most aggressive and force
full champion OF the welfare of this
imperial Commonwealth.
While the reappointment OF the dis.
tinguished conservator OF our health
was anticipated it is nevertheless an
other evidence OF the determination OF
Governor Brumbaugh to place Penn
syIvania in the forefront of the vel
fare work Of the world.

sion 10 complete the job at once.
Now that the contractors have re-
stunned work on the wall and have their

would be most unwise to defer this
small section of a great undertaking.

the work at Market street as at any
other point along the River Front
Indeed. il is more important, inasmuch
as this break occurs in the very heart
OF the city. where thousands OF vtsi-
tors crossing the bridges must see the
unsightly situation which there con-
fronts them.
II would seem to be small matter
TO bubble over and we believe the
Board OF Public Works, cooperating
with Commissioner Lynch. would be
justified in at once proceeding with the
work OF closing the gap. especially as
il will be necessary to finance the ball

a severance of relations is the least
America should do to bring in m
phattc manner, u Just condemna-
ton of the repeated German outrages

Such a step, as Mr.. Roosevelt says,
would not be tantamount to a dec
laration of war, but 1t would serve
notice that we were at the limit of our
patience and would not permit of any
further affronts against the nation.

JUSTICE TO GOD
To The Editor of The Telegrabh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Dear sir: 1t is probable that the
time consumed in writing this will be
wasted, as l find a number of papers
fear the publication of anything thai
might in any way criticise the work
ings of church people. From the
restrictions generally placed upon q
subject of this kind n is led to fee
hat religious liberty is a joke and
that the workings of the church,
which are based upon creeds and dog
mas are taken at face value, rather
than at their true worth.
1t is not my desire to unjustly re-
fleet upon the workings of the church,
because I believe that all that is done
through the church is well meant, but
lacking in consideration.
The writer happened to pass the
Courthouse one evening recently when
several we'll meaning gentlemen were
relating their experiences. 1 truly feel
that some of the things they said really
do humanity a great injustice and
religion a great wrong.
One OF the speakers, after dwell
ing upon his present happy condition
(wearing an expression hat n could
not help but feel was the result of in
digestion. instead of religion), related
as to how God had i~nterceded and kept
him away from the circus parade,
leaving n to infer that a circus pa
rade was a great crime. He also told
how he was restrained from entering
barrooms. etc. From his talk one
would naturally conclude that the joys
of a religious life, in so far as living
is concerned, have little relation with
mans s~ojourn here on earth, as we'll
as that God certainly added greatly
to his duties every time a man had
been converted. The men of the
world, so to speak, display a far great
er control of the great gift which God
has given them-mind. They can go,
or they can stay, wtthout any special
~intercession of their Creator.
Instead of speaking of the joys of
life, the great works of God and help
ing men to live a life to-day, they
spoke of hell.
They base everything upon theolo-
! glcaI sophistry. Metaphysics outweighs
natural laws. Miracles which cannot
be associated with truth form the basis
of their proof. "a truth requires no
miracles to substantiate it,
Apparently they do not believe that
/ men should advance r~eligiously in the
same degree that he advances In art,
science and literature. They quote
scripture with an apparent view of
horrifying, instead of clarifying. They
speak of love for their enemies. when
they show a lack Of consideration for
friends. They can see harm in all
forms Of amusement down to circus
p~arades.
| often wonder how some of them
can look a chicken in the face when
they consider the great number of
men who. have lost their lives through
eating too many hard boiled eggs on
a wager, which is nothing less than a
form of gambling.
IF these men could only forget about
hell (Which / believe exists principally

l4NGN 1OIk NOTiQ.
When the President, in his speech
at the Mayors luncheon yesterday, de-
clared that America asks nothing for
herself except what she has a right to
ask for humanity" he translated the
note to Germany out OF the language
of diplomacy into the language Of the
people.
That is what the United States
means in this crisis. AS the President
so felicitously expressed IL: I'VE want
no nations property; we wish to aues-
ton no nations honor; we wish to
stand selfishly in the way of the de-
velopment of no nation; we want
nothing that we cannot get by our
own legitimate enterprise and by the
inspiration of our own example; and
standing for these things. 1t is not prc-

privileged to stand for what every ma
ton would wish to stand for. and

MIR. BIRKINBINE's SUCCESSOR

TINE loss to the State IN the
death OF John Birkinbine, the en-
gineer chief of the State Water
Supply Commission, is realized by the
engineers Of the Commonwealth. II
not by the people generally. He gave
10 the State his best efforts and in the
organization of the commission
brought the experience of a long and
useful life devoted TO the solution of
difficult engineering problems. espe-
cially in their relation to the health
of the people.
Now that he has finished his work
it will doubtless be the aim of Cover
nor Brumbaugh. who has a high ap-
probation of the conservation needs
of the State. TO select as the engineer
of the commission one who will COM
pare with Mr.. Birkinbine in all the
qualities which made him an ideal
chairman OF the commission The
filling of this office should not be so
much a matter of political consider
alton as OF personal fitness for a
most important place in the public
