y MOCKERY OF THE LAW
Pittsburgh Gazette-rimes1

Philadelphia papers yesterday
printed a dispatch from Shenandoah.
Pa, stating that on the day before
that borough went dry for the first
time in its history" This was be-
cause the court had warned consta-
bles to enforce the law against sale
of Intoxicating liquors on Sunday.
Shenandoah is the largest ineorporat-
ed place in Schuylkill county. It's
population in 1910 was 25,774. II
would probably have been a third
class city years ago had not the sa-
loon people objected because of the

DOGGONE 'EM
BY Wing Dinger

There are some folks who get my goat
Quite frequently, because
They seem to think 1 am the one
Who frames the weather laws.
For instance. on a day like this
They ask me: "Wiis 1t snow,
Or is 1t going to rain again?"
But, gee, why should I know?
And then there are the ones who ask
If winters on the wane.
And is it true that Joyous Spring
Is with us once again?
don't know why they figure me
A weather prophet bold.
Who can predict when twill be warm
Or vice versa cold.
think the next guy who asks me
I'll soak with my right NIT.
And let him think a storm came up
And that the lightning hit

WHY THEY no TT

al MIMI I1lICttCOCh, IN a
stage speech at the Majestic
= - Theater the other night,
touched upon an important
truth when he said that it is human
nature to desire to do those things
for which the individual is least quail
fed. Very likely that is one of the
reasons why professors, scientists and
philosophical theorists have been so
prone in recent years to thrust them
selves forward with cures for evils
concerning which they have no prac-
teal knowledge. Mr.. Hitchcock's tru-
ism explains not little of the juggling
and experimenting now going on at
Washington.
The Saturday Evening Post OF last
week recites all of the accomplish
ments of the Wilson administration,
calls attention to the enactment of
legislation to bring about the new
freedom" of which the President has
so glibly prated and enumerated all
of the laws passed. from the Under
wood tariff act to that creating the
recently appointed Federal Trade
Board. and very pertinently asks how
all this has benefited either the bust
ness or the working man.
President Truesdale. in his annual
report as head of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad COM
pany, all unconsciously sums up the
reply in these words:
he
is uncertain and difficult to fore
cast This uncertainty is not al

Of the extreme length to which this
latter has gone is not altogether
reassuring to these other interests
which now seem to be facing s:mi-
lar control of their activities.
We haze been for some years past
worshiping at the shrine of those
learned in books and theories to the
exclusion of the opinions and conclu-
sions OF the men of practical affairs.
No doubt this condition was brought
about by the ruthless behavior Of
some OF thoss captains of industry"
who were responsible for a public dis
trust of everything bearing the stamp
of corporation, but their brief period
is past and gone and it would pay
those who are entrusted with the en-
actment of our laws to dwell a little
more on the practical and a little
less upon the theoretical

Such was the substance of the
message of the President OF the

to his fellow members.
Good business. the President
pointed out, was waiting for

And the way he pointed out
was through vigorous and con-

In this connection he laid

NEW QUARANTINE LAW IS ENFORCED
All Children Under 15 Must ! Not Leave Quarantined
 Premises

quarantine ordinance maklng ps %sons under 15 years of age liable to arrest and fine for leaving premises which are under quarantine for a conta gious disease was yesterday adopted by the city commission. The ordinance is intended to aid in secur- ing control of scarlet fever, measles and similar contagious disease which have gained considerable footing in the city
 Under the old ordinance it was said that the health authorities were unable to en- force the quarantine rules, The new law is limited to children under i5 years of age. in order that no injustice can be worked and that it may be enforceable. It is admitted that older persons of the family might carry the disease outside. but a law to keep them on the premises could not be enforced because in many cases the older persons are the only sup. port of the younger members of the fam fly.
 The health authorities state, however. that the great danger of carrying the dis ease is children under 15 years of age mingling with each other when some of them have been exposed or have mild cases of contagious disease. The new or dinance will put stop to this, 1t is said
