OUR MILK SUPPLY

HR. RAUNICK and representatives
of the State Livestock Sanitary
Board are doing a splendid
work in cleaning up the dairies which
supply milk to our people. They have
brought to light almost unbelievable
conditions and they are very properly
stopping all shipments from farms
that do not come up to sanitary regu-
lations This branch of the city
health department has been neglected
through no fault of the local health
board. Harrisburg inspectors have
been powerless to go outside the city
because they have not had authority
vested in them by the State. Doubt
less this will now be forthcoming, so
that in future they will be able to
keep milk producers up to the mark.
The State Livestock Sanitary Board
has an important work to perform in
this direction and it needs all the as
sistance it can be given. 1t is doing
good work with a pitifully small force
and 1t is a matter for regret that an
other cut in its appropriation will
necessitate a reduction of 20 or so
IN it's working force.
Not all farmers are unclean, but
there is sufficiently large number
who think only of the sale of milk
and nothing of its quality to require
constant supervision. Harrisburg and
many other cities require their milk
dealers to maintain a high standard,
but it is unfair to the milk dealers
TO expect good milk from them so
long as farmers are permitted to bring
garm-ladden milk to town. Both
education and supervision are con-
stantly necessary to the safety of the
milk consuming public.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

Samuel Hopkins Adams, the we'll
known novelist, pronounces "A Far
Country" 'immeasurably the finest
thing that Churchill has done, both in
conception and execution. Back of
the charm and fluency of the writing
there is a living vigor of character
izatton, informing the entire book.
But what makes it stand out as a
big book-I am tempted to say the big
book of the present intellectual-social
movement" Mr.. Adams continues, "is
the clarity of vision and charity of
presentation which Churchill brings
here to the depletion of present-day
problems. If 1 wished to give an in
telligent foreigner a clear conception
of the struggle of new against old, of
the spiritual against the material in
our America. l should put A Far
Country into his hands and bid him
leave the essayists and the theorizing
doctors on their dusty shelves"
William Lyon Phelps has at different
times revealed himself as a severe as
we'll as shrewd critic of modern fic-
ton. Consequently his opinion of "a
Far Country" Winston Churchill's lat
est work, is of more than ordinary in
terest and value. He says: "a Far
Country is superior in characterization
and vitality to The Inside of the CUP
and is an interesting record of certain
phases of our national life we'll worth
reading"

WAR is NOT OVER

TIME Germans have recaptured
Lemberg and are greatly rejoicing
thereat. But why? Lemberg is
not important in any sense and its
occupation by the Teutons merely pro-
longs the agony of the war. The end
will be the same. Germany will be
beaten, not because her armies are in
ferior, but because her enemies possess
superior resources and unlimited num-
bers of men. 1t is a case of the North
and South of Civil War days over
again. There were many times when
the South won from the North far
more important campaigns than that
Just concluded in Galicia, but in the
end men and money won. In the end
men and money will win in Europe.
Russia, 1t will be observed, lost
nothing but prestige in the fall of
Lemberg. Grand Duke Nicholas in
mastery manner carried off his stores,
his guns and even his governmental
records. He destroyed not a single
structure save two oil tanks. Evidently
the grand duke is looking forward to
the day when Russians will again
occupy the city.
All that Russia needs to- create an
army invincible by sheer force of over
whelming numbers is ammunition and
guns, munitions and artillery. These
supplies are coming up in a steady
stream across Siberia. Another Rus
sian offensive may be developed any
day

sEANIEN's LAW TROUBLES
IPittshurgh Disnatnh l


Outside the complications arising
out of the war the United States is
facing a program for the denuncia-
ton of treaties or agreements of COM
merce and navigation with some 81
nations, necessitated by the enact
ment of the La Toilette seamen's bill
by the last Congress. This measure,
while designed to establish an Amer
lean standard of labor conditions on
the seas and to afford better protection
to passengers, contained a provision
that is prophetic of trouble This was
the extension of the principle applied
to American boats to all ships enter
ing American ports that at least rs
per cent. of the crew should be able
to understand an order given by an
officer in the language of the ships
nationality. 1t was aimed, of course
at the employment of Lascar or coolia
crews, and intended to assure the EN-
ployment of white seamen. But its
application to foreign ships entering
our ports will be contested by the for.
eign governments as contrary to our
present agreements or treaties. hence
the necessity of negotiating new ones.
Ships entering a foreign port are
subject to the laws of the local gov
ernment, but this provision affecting
the composition of the crew is nm
precedently drastic. If it could be nm
held and the American applications
also stood, 1t would, of course. nIace
all ships entering our ports on An
equality in that respect, but the pros
pect of such a settlement is so re-
mote and the difficulties that would
surround the denunciation and neRo-
tiating of treaties so great that II is
probable an effort will be made when
Congress meets to strike out the pro-
vision.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-06-25

slams have treated theirs. The Poles
of Austria are as free to sing their
national songs as the people of our
own South are free to sing Dixie.
They are as much at liberty to glorify
IT, cir past and to speak their native
tongue as though they were free and
Independent. Except that they must
pay their taxes to Austria and serve
in Austria's army, they are practical
ly self-governing. AS Western Ga
licia is the stronghold of the Aus
trian Pole, so Eastern Galicia is the
main dwelling place of the Ruthenian.
The two races never get along very
we'll together. The peasant popula-
ton of Austrian Poland eke out a
hard existence. In many parts of
the country the peasant lives in a log
hut covered with straw; he break
fasts, dimes and makes his supper of
porridge, washing it down with bad
brandy, and in general lives a life
full of want and empty of pleasure.
The peasants who farm for the no.
bles receive no money in payment,
but only a share of the crop, often
as low a share as one-twelfth, wage
of slow starvation"

AGAINST SHIP PURCHASE

IF the President wants proof that
his ship purchase plan is not popu-
lar he might consult the recently
tions throughout the country, sos of
which voted against the proposal. 1t
may be that in some instances the
vote does not represent the views of
q majority of the organizations
named, but the total is so overwhelm-
ing as to permit of no question con-
cerning the sentiment of the coun-
try at large on the subject and If the
President is politically wise he will
permit the shipping item to drop
quietly from his program.
The American businessman has not
been slow to see that government con-
troll of shipping will not give us a
merchant marine. Rather he has
noted, as the President should have
done, that such a course would kill
rather than encourage private initia-
tive in this direction.
Even more remarkable than the re-
pudiation of the Presidents plan was
the vote taken by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States on
the item for and against the creation
of Federal Shipping Board to inves-
tigate and report to Congress regard
ing navigation laws and to have full
jurisdiction in all matters relating
to overseas shipping, 645 organizations
favoring the proposal to 116 opposing.
Subyentions from the Povernment n ra
recommended by an equally over
whelming vote and one of the surpris-
ing features of the ballot is that 1t
represents interior as we'll as maritime
communities. The interior appears
to have at least shaken off its an
tipathy to ship-subsidy and has come
to the belief that in that direction
alone lies the path to rehabilitation of
our merchant marine.

STATE COLLEGES NEEDS

TN his annual statement to the board
i of trustees, President Sparks, of
the Pennsylvania State College, de-
scribed the predicament in which the
college finds itself through the failure
Of the Legislature to make appro-
priation for new buildings. He esti-
mated that at least 500 students would
be refused admission in the next two
years for lack of classroom and lab
oratcry space. His appeal to the audi
ence to insist upon Pennsylvania pro-
viding a permanent source of income
for the college of the State, as is done
in nearly thirty States in the Union.
was enthusiastically applauded by the
commencement guests.
President Sparks is right in starting
this agitation now. 1t should be con-
ttnued without pause as vigorously as
may be until the next Legislature
