inspection of disease prevention
and control among the states
human population takes wise
stand for health and happiness.
We have been prone to consider
the health of our animals as
paramount to that of our own
and while the reporting and
care of animal diseases is handl-
ed most admirably, there lies
much to be done in the allevia-
ton of human ills.

Sir Roger Easement has pass
ed as all men must pass and it
can be said that he died bravely
and we'll. Charitably inclined
persons urged that he was in
sane, but that seems doubtful.
He was insane perhaps as all,
even the most normal, are slight
ly insane, but no more. Now
that he has gone does England
feel any better for it? Has his
execution instead of prison
sentence, knitted Ireland any
closer to the empire and has it
placed England in any better
light among it's friends? The
United States did not in the Civil
War, execute it's rebels after
conquering them, and England
did not seem to take such a stern
attitude toward Sir Edward Car
son and the Ulster people, who
armed and threatened rebellion
before the present war. Sir
Edward stands among the coun-
sellers of the empire and Sir
Roger lies buried in quick lime.

Burkett are the stars on a chau-
tauqua program arranged for a
not far off town very little larger
than Lancaster, along with num-
erous other features of unques-
toned merit. Looking at it
makes us ask why Lancaster
can't have the best instead of
Just $3.50, and why we are book
ed up even before the business
men have a chance to talk the
thing over and decide what they
do want. In the town we speak
of, every man, woman and child
plugs for the chautauqua be-
cause they know that they have
an event arranged for that will
draw from miles around. No
question about it. Give the peo-
pie the best and arrange the sea-
son so as not to interfere with
some circuit arrangement that
works fine for the company, but
cuts down your territory and
duplicates the events in neigh
boring towns. Give the people
the best and let them know about
it. Watch 'em come.

A sorely vexed public is not
likely to regard with much pa
thence a broil between the rail
roads and their employees. The
policy of public be damned" has
been observed too long by many
roads and many, many employees
whose insolence and disregard
Of the public's feelings while
travelling, has had the apparent
tacit endorsement Of the officials.
The average common person =
we don't mean the Pullman kind
who travels, does SO with fear
in his heart lest in a single re-
spect he incur the ire of q haugh-
| tv trainman. The roads and
their employees have fought a
great deal among themselves en-
deavoring to get the best OF it,
but who ever heard of a confer
ence to see what would be the
best for the travelling public?
There may be worse things than
government ownership or at
least control, as the people have
found out in the parcel post and
other public enterprises now be-
ing operated by the people. The
railroads and the employees II
they fight must do SO with the
understanding that things shall
not go too far.
