that would have been hilarious in the
extreme. The gambling feature Of
the Happy Canyon does not meet with
my approval under the present ar
rangement. I think I could make a
suggestion TO the management that,
if followed. would eliminate much Of
the criticism.
The Moral Effect.
Now the Roundup is over, what
is TO be the moral effect upon the
community. especially upon the young
people? The stronger of them will
forget il. They will regard it as a
passing incident in life, They Will
think Of it as a book of pictures that
they have read and laid aside. They
win 90 back to their school and their
work and take up the threads of life
where they laid them down as If moth
ing had occurred. There is another
class who were swept off their feet by
the occasion. They entered too seri-
ously into the Roundup. They be-
came intoxicated with it. Many OF
them will want to be cowboys and
cowgirls. 1t is up to US as preachers
and teachers and parents to save this
class Of young people from them
selves and teach them that the pleas
ures Of life are mere incidents and
not the real thing, that the real thing
to seek in life is happiness and con-
tentment. and teach them the differ
ence between mere pleasure and hap
/ piness.''

More than 5000 people crowded in

almost smothered beneath the pile Of
struggling buckaros when he was
finally stopped in his flight The
strap was removed and three cow
boys rode the steer until they were
PILED off. Four cowboys had hold
Of the strap and for fifteen minutes
were the center Of pushing. pulling,
struggling mob as they fought for
possession. Police, officials and a
stream of water failed to break up
the good-natured fight and it was only
stopped when an extra ten dollars
was promised.
Never we're the gambling games or
the big dance patronized by such a
mad-merry throng The Red Dog
was almost a solid jam and, when
several Of the cowboys rode through
on their horses. there was a wild
scramble. 1t was one Of those un-
expected features that gave color TO
the entertainment and made it all
seem more real.
Late in the evening, Ten Buck bills

NO easy JOBS"

TN his talk before the conference al
IL the Capitol this week Governor
Brumbaugh made it quite clear
that he expects actual service of all
employees of the Commonwealth.
1t is his thought that the public
service is even more important than
private activities and he indicated in
rather emphatic way that those
attaches who imagined employment on
Capitol Hill and elsewhere was simply
a leisurely way of making a living
would awaken to their mistake should
he discover such lapses.
However. it is known that the Gov
ernor has a high appreciation of the
industry and zeal of most of the men
who are cooperating with him in the
active work of the administration. He
doesn't hesitate to commend where
commendation is deserved and it is
rather remarkable how closely he has
followed the operations of the several
departments.

COMPENSATION INSURANCE
PHILADELPHIA RuITetin1

The State Insurance Fund organ;
zed Tor the more efficient and econo-
micai application of the new svstern of
compensation for industrial accidents
ought TO approximate as near as nos.
slole the function of a mutual insIr-
ance company, operating without pro-
NJ anu on such minimum schedule
OF rates as shall be sufficient to as
sure its solvency, and periodicaIIv ra-
turning TO its subscribers pro rata
such surplus as may. be accumulated
fund.
Inevitably this will result in COM
petition with private enterprise en-
gagged in the field of liability insur-
ance' but the community and indus
try were the intended benefciaries Of
the compensation laws, rather than
the bonding companies. and the State
is undertaking no extraordinary or un-
warranted function in attempting to
operate its system of compensation at
cost, and without a rake-off. or un-
necessary carrying charges.
Experience in Massachusetts. where
there is no State insurance Pfund, but
near equivalent mutual organi-
cation sponsored at its commence
ment by the State. together with su-
pervisory and regulatory power over
rates OF Incorporated companies in the
hands OF the State Insurance Com
missioner, thus establishing unifor-
nifty of rates throughout the State,
the tendency has been steadily toward
reduction in premium rates, demon
strating that the cost of the compen-
sation system may be Uver-estimated.
1t may be doubted if the actual
cost is greater than the burden OF
industrial casualties under the old
system, although there are no figures
upon which to base accurate compari-
sons. At least individual employers
who are representative of various i'm
dustries. testify that their costs are
not larger. The additional burden
comes chiefly upon the minor employ
ers. with whom accidents were SO in
frequent as not to figure in their bud
gets, and to whom the cost of insur-
ance is an extra expense. Yet the
| time will come when insurance against
| casualty loss in industry will be as
generally recognized as wise and prop
er, regardless OF the frequency of acci-
dents in a particular shop, as fire in
surance is now considered Il neces-
cary safeguard against loss
The underlying theory of fire insur-
ance is that fire loss is communal, and
that it's incidence should be widely
distributed. 4 great step forward was
taken when it was realized that in
dustriaI loss was of the same nature
and could best be borne in like man
neT.

THE RIVER ROAD ACCIDENT

TINE accident on the River Road
i last night. when three speeding
motorcyclists were injured i'm
collision. was not unexpected. In
deed, it is just what everybody famil-
lar with conditions on that much
travelled piece of roadway has long
anticipated. The wonder is that an
accident of the kind or even more Sc
rious has not occurred before.
The River Road is used every hour
of the day as a speedway for reckless
and irresponsible drivers of automo-
biles and motorcycles. Automobile
racing has not been so much in vogue,
It is true, since the State Highway
Commissioner and the Motor Club OF
Harrisburg got on the trail of the Of
Tenders, but the motoreyclists know no
limit save the speed of their engines.
If drivers of motor driven vehicles
refuse TO obey the law with respect
to speed they must not complain il the
Legislature some day requires that no
machine with speed limit of more
than twenty-five or thirty miles an
hour be permitted on the roads
When an aroused public begins to
make reforms It nearly always goes
too far, and the motorist is headed in
that direction.

THE TYPHOID DETECTIVE
By Frederic J. Haskin

TYPHOID fever is like crime, in
that it may theoretically be
= eradicated from human society.
If all persons of criminal tendency
were hunted out, confined and pre-
vented from reproducing, and If the
condition of poverty and disease which
produced them were eliminated, crime
would cease to exist. Likewise, If the
last elusive typhoid germ could be
traced to its ultimate source, and all
the unsanitary conditions that bred
It removed for all time, there would
be no more typhoid.
In either case, vigilant police and
detective work is the chief requisite.
Governments have always hunted
organized for the purpose, but they
have just begun to realize the i'm
portance of hunting and destroying
Infection in the same way.
The United States Public Health
Service now has "a regular typhoid
detective force, which devotes itself
entirely to the tracing of infection to
its. source. In order to prove to the
State governments the value of this
work, the Public Health Service has
now selected in each of nine different
States a typical county which is to be
entirely freed of typhoid infection.
Germ detection is. of course. not a
new tnlnS. Doctors and SanatortumS
have always attempted to discover the
source of infection during epidemics.
But this germ detection has now be-
come a science of recognized methods
and remarkable efficiency. The germ
sleuths of the Public Service now sell
dom fail to find the cause of any epi-
demic in which their services are re-
quested by the State authorities. Each
of these successes is not only a step
toward the elimination of typhoid
fever, but a demonstration of how it
may be accomplished.
Last summer q typhoid epidemic
broke out in q western State, fifteen
cases developed in a week, the State
health authorities asked for federal
assistance.
Gradually Traced IL
The stricken community was a
rural one composed of well-to- do
farmers living in well-built houses
upon broad lands. Poverty, dirt and
all other disease breeding conditions
were apparently lacking. But the de-
tective found upon investigation that
each of the fifteen persons who first
developed typhoid had attended a GER
tain picnic. One by one he studied
the articles of food that made up the
picnic dinner. He traced the good
country butter to the cows that yielded
