JAMES E. RODERICK
[From the Coal Age !

For the benefit of the younger gem
Grafton and those who sometimes
despair of their lot in life because of
circumstances, educational or financial,
a brief sketch of the present chief of
the Department of Mines of Pennsyl-
vana. James f. Roderick, is offered
for the Success Number of Coal Age.
His biographical notice in Smulls,
which introduces PennsylVanians to
their public servants at Harrisburg,
closes with the sentence, "He is a
member of the First Presbyterian
Church at Hazleton and a director of
the Hazleton National Bank"
This summing up presents tersely
the character features of a citizen who
is well worthy of space in the Who's
Who Department of Coal Age. Mr..
Rodericks achievements serve well as
an example of the possibilities open
to all ambitious youths. Mr.. Roderick
has never appeared in the class of in
dustrial captains or financial wizards,
but he has attained such a measure
of success in both of these fields as
would give him an entrance to their
councils. 1t is probably this fact that
has kept him in the ranks of workers
and retained for him the esteem of
his fellow citizens. While he is chief
of the Department of Mines and well
sustains the dignity of that important
post, he is still greeted Familiarity by
the men who worked under his direc-
tion as youthful totlers in the mines,
and their greeting is returned in that
hearty way which comes from mutual
respect and confidence.

INTERNATIONAL POKER

AS a poker player our President
would shine without a peer. The only
trouble with him is that he will not
stay in n pot until the showdown. He
has had four aces in his hand during
his entire administration, but he is
afraid to play them to the limit. At
some critical moment he makes you
think he is bluffing with a bob-tail
straight.
He started after Mexico as though
he meant TO push her off the map.
Then, with the situation unchanged. he
withdrew the troops from Vera Cruz.
Naturally the Mexican outlaws said we
were afraid of them and murders and
killings became worse than ever.
When the Lusitania was sunk he
drew the four aces again and sent a
note worthy of any man. Then he
weakened and sent some notes that
every American was ashamed Of
The Kaiser said he would sink every
armed ship without warning, and when
our President looked in his hand all
he could see was q pair of deuces, sc
he sent a foolish little note to the
Allies that encouraged the Kaiser to
raise him the limit. closer inspec-
tion of his cards must have disclosed
the four aces again, for our President
forthwith challenged the Kaiser, Con-
gress and everybody else on the issue
he had made.
All this is good, poker. but 1t is bad
diplomacy. especially when you want
to avoid trouble. Our President has a
reputation as a buffer now, and in
consequence he has to have the cards
in the future to win. A straight, firm
irrevocable policy from the beginning
might have saved IFS from so many
new deals-The Outlaw

OBSERVING QUARANTINE

TINE Health Board would be justi-
fed in making an example of
some of those who break
quarantine regulations and thereby
spread contagion. Unquestionably
the rapid development of the measles
epidemic is due in large part to care
lessness. Infected persons and those
who come into close contact with
sufferers are permitted to come into
contact with children who are free
from the disease and hundreds thus
contract the malady who otherwise
might have escaped.
This cannot be laid to the door of
the Health Officers. They have more
work than their limited number can
do properly. 1t is entirely with the
people themselves. If they would only
do as they would be done by" the
measles epidemic could be crushed in
week. But so long as they go
selfshly about their own ways, with
no thought for the welfare of their
fellows, all the closing of schools and
moving picture theaters that may be
enforced will not have the desired
effect.

DEMOCRACY VS.. BUSINESS

TN lecture before the Royal Statis-
teal Society of England, Sir
George Paish, financial authority.
declared that Great Britain has
nearly succeeded in maintaining its
productive power despite the with
drawal of approximately 100000
men from its industries. If allow
ance were made for the increase in
the country's gold stock the nation
would be found to have succeeded in
meeting virtually the whole of its war
expenditures out of its income, with
out needing to draw upon its ac-
cumulated capital to an extent worth
mentioning"
If Great Britain can maintain its
productive power under present con-
ditions, think of the efficiency of that
country>in a trade war when the men
now under arms are returned to the
industrial field. And Great Britain
has decided to adopt the protective
policy. Notwithstanding these con-
siderations, our dull-witted Democracy
refuses to be illumined, and stub
hornly adheres to the policy of near
free-trade II business does not oust
the Democrats in November, Europe
will oust business in the next four
years.

NTASHINGTON is now protesting

WAsHINGroN is now protesting
Wv against the erection of a big
government power plant within
the shadow of the Washington monu-
ment and in view of the Capitol. This
plant absolutely destroys a charming
view from Potomac Park and the
smoke stacks of the proposed plant
will be more conspicuous than any
other object in the city. 1t appears
that the plant was authorized before
the people at large became aware of
the defacing character of the under
taking. Now there is a general pro-
test going up from the newspapers at
the National Capitol and throughout
the country.
This city occupies somewhat the
position TO Pennsylvania as Washing
ton does to the United States. We of
Harrisburg, as the most interested
municipality. are endeavoring to do
everything that is possible to increase
the beauty and attractiveness of our
own Capitol building and it is doubt
full whether Governor Brumbaugh
and the other wideawake officials on
Capitol Hill could be so lulled by any
department of the State government
as to permit the erection upon the
State property of such an unsightly
object as is now menacing the most
beautiful section of Washington.
Time was when the people of this
city might have been Indifferent to
anything that could happen to ruin
the impressive beauty of our own
Capitol Park, but that time is past
and they are very much interested in
the park, as it will be when the present
administration shall have completed
its study of the problem and indicates
the best treatment for the district now
covered by the old section of the park
and the proposed extension.

nre mo- spies in Canada

THERE are no spies in Canada
at least, so say the officials. The
- people do not agree with them,
however, and are persistent in their
demands that immediate and drastic
measures be taken to protect Canada
from any more outrages such as the
burning of Parliament House.
The officials still hold that this
mysterious fire was due to accidental
causes. but the people are not to be
convinced. The accidental causes,
they point out, could hardly have
been responsible also for the attack
on Victoria Bridge across the St.
Lawrence. the destruction of the Cape
Spencer oil depot and fog station, and
the three equally mysterious fires in
munition factories. all of which oc-
Cured in rapid succession.
Then, too. the circumstances in
connection with the fire in the Ottawa
capitol were most peculiar. The con-
fiagration is supposed to have started
among the newspapers in the reading
room, and vet both the fire chief and
Mr.. Bonar Law claim to have heard
five or six explosions or sound so
extra ordinary that they were sure they
must have been caused by bombs or
shells The fact that there had been
n small fire in the same reading room
the day before. caused by few cigar
ashes carelessly ficked among the
newspapers, is brushed aside by the
people as unimportant.

forward with a story about a sus-
picious looking stranger who was seen

SOMEWHERE IN JAPAN
{ Albany JournaD

A japanese salesman is making the
rounds of New York city soliciting
orders for shirts. He carries a line of
samples, takes measurements. writes
orders, directions, etc, and the maids
in a factory somewhere in Japan make
up the goods. The finished shirts then
cross the Pacific and are carried on the
transeontinental railroads to the
buyer.
The Japanese are pushing this bust
ness rapidly, and inasmuch as the
Democratic tariff law cut the duty on
these goods forty per cent. our Asiatic
competitors see great possibilities in
this method OF getting into the Amer
lean market as the wages paid in
Japan are about one-twelfth those paid
the United States.
