HARD TO PLEASE

From the Pittsburgh Gazette Timesl
If one is to judge by manifestations
OF chagrln on the part of anti-Repub-
lican newspapers, the organization
this week of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature without a disturbance of the
peace foreshadows sinister develop
mentS in the States affairs. Just why
a party so Overwhelmingly successful
at the polls two months ago should
not be able to act in harmony is not
explained. In previous years, when
there was contention and factional-
ism, these same hostile papers be-
moaned the incapacity of Republi-
cans to agree among themselves. The
commonwealth, people were solemnly
warned, was in bad way because the
dominant party would neither COM
pose its own difficulties nor permit
control to pass into the hands of a
second or third party 1t was terrible
they declared, to think how the for.
tunes of great State were exposed
to the hazards of guerilla politics.
This year the peoples peril is of an.
other sort. The speakership having
been disposed of in conformity with
the wishes of the Governor-elect, and
details of organization having beer

SAFETY WHERE GT COUNTS

@oMMISSiONER JOHN PRICE
JACKSON and the members of
~ the State Industrial Board have
gone about securing regulations
for safety and sanitation in various
lines of industry in the common sense
manner of getting the employers and
employees and the experts in the sub
5ects together for discussion of wavs
and means of making things better.
Already half a dozen codes have been
promulgated and have the same force
as law. and eight or ten more are in
course of preparation. These codes
govern such important subjects as
transmission of power. the textile in
dustry. blast furnaces. iron and steel
mills, foundries. Before any code be-
comes operative it is submitted at a
public hearing.
The advantage OF this system is that

il gives regulations for industries
without the necessity of asking the
Legislature to act. and as changes
can be made by the board when ad-
visable there is no waiting for sessions
of the General Assembly. In the last
few weeks steps have also been taken
TO secure a standard of safety for ap-
pliances, ladders being the first to be
selected. Statistics show that the
number of accidents due to defective
ladders is largo. both in the home
and in industrial establishments, so
that in getting together with the
manufacturers the State is taking a
beneficial step that will help not only
in industry. but in household and
general labor.

and dancing societies. Women and

ONE WORD

For me to profane IL,
One feeling too falsely disdain'd
For thee to disdain it,
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother.
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.
l can give not what men call love:
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not:
The desire of the moth for the star.
or the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow.

rude to the point of insolence.
1t was on the afternoon of the day
when he had talked with Ballantyne
that he was strolling down the lane

ALCOHOL. SHOT AND SHELL.

The Reformer, a paper of Western
Australia, writes of the effects of In
toxicating drinks in the expeditionary
force of that state as follows:
A little time ago 10000 troops were
medically certified as sound in wind
and limb. Then alcohol began to put
in its fine work, and in a short time
1000 Of them, either for behavior or
sickness, were dismissed. Their
places were soon filed, but neither
the citizens nor the soldiers had learn
ed their lesson, and so whisky or
beer was still regarded as the bond
of good-fellowship, and the test OF
hospitality. Then came along pneu-
monia. that dread daughter of alco-
holism. It was pneumonia in the
camp, pneumonia at Albany, pneu-
monia on the sea, and pneumonia be-
meath the shadow of the pyramids.
Some tardily recovered, others were
laid beneath the turf or the wave be-
fore ever they saw the flash of Turk
ish sword or heard the burst of Ger
man bomb.
Alcoholism and pneumonia indeed
can scarcely be separated, and the
foremost physicians of England now
are saying that they look upon the
previous alcoholic condition of a pa
tient as the arbiter of his life when
attacked by pneumonia. This first
blood in our war was drawn, not by
the bayonets of the enemy, but by
the folly of ourselves The foolish
hospitality of the people and the
drinking dens of the state joined
hands in destroying our defenders.

It may be twenty or, perhaps, ten
years, but what matters few years,
more or less?" What matters few
years?" replied the mother with deep
feeling. 'If your boy or my boy are

HOW TO EDUCATE,

In the temperance education cam
paign now being vigorously carried on
In all parts of the country a special.
lied system is advisable. DR.. Wells
Andrews, in Chicago Daily News,
puts this suggestion into words that
are well worth passing on.
Tell the lumber men of Michigan, he
says, how many thousands of drinking
farmers will single their homes and
barns or build new ones as soon as
they quit their meanness." Tell the
shoe manufacturer of Massachusetts
what it means to take all the bare
feet of drunkards' children off the
ground. Tell the iron men of Penn
sylvania that new stoves will be need
ed in 100000 homes when the saloon
keeper ceases to get the money, and
tell the miners they will have work
all winter through getting coal enough
to put into those stoves. Tell the wool
growers of Ohio that everybody in this
country is going to be wrapped in
wooden and sleep under blankets when
the billiards blow, and the men no
longer heat up with liquid fire" in or
der to exterminate their families with
atmospheric cold. Tell the cattle rails
ers of the West and stockyards men
in Chicago that there is going to be
beef on thousands of tables, where
now there are few cold potatoes. Tell
the grocer he can Sell for cash and say
good-by to bad debts when the dimes
no longer go into the saloon till. Tell
the farmers there is going to be an
unheard of demand for -four and meal,
butter, cheese and eggs as soon as
beer drinkers cease fostering that in
dustry and begin filling out the hok
low cheeks of wives and children.
