!. FIGHTING THE PLAGUE

VTYHEN Uncle Sam found it
wv necessary to organize a draft
ing system for the mobiliza-
tion of the NARROWER of/the United
States in the Great War he pro-
vided at one and the same time u
tremendous argument for the anti
tuberculosis movement which is now
countrywide through the Red
Cross Seal campaign and other
agencies. 1t was developed as a re-
suit of the draft that over one-third
of the men examined for military
purposes were found unavailable on
account of physical defects. Physi-
cal standards were lowered, accord
ing to military medical officer of
prominence, and thousands of in
competents had to be segregated at
each divisional camp. The same Of
ficer declared that the creation and
fostering of public sentiment, the
shaping of legislation and the cor
rection of defects and deficiencies
within health organizations will do
much 10 remedy the conditions
which threaten the health of the
country.
It has been a fortunate thing for
the United States that high class
medical men have been in intimate G
touch with the developments that
followed the organization of our
armies. Several thousand men in
Pennsylvania alone were rejected
because they were found on exam
ination to be tubercular, although
they had not previously suspected
that the White Plague had gripped
them.
Presently the Red Cross seal cam
paign will be inaugurated. not only
in this city and county, but through

poses OF this great movement are
fully understood by the people, there

The Season of Crispy Things

This is the season of crispy things,
Leaves and bacon and wind that
stings;
Doughnuts, pancakes, fried apples
there
Is wondrous blend in the frosty
Sniff it,
Whit it,
A message" 1t brings:
"Whoopee! 'Tis the Season of Crispy
Things"
This is the season of rustic, too
The leaves set the pace for me and
you;
The wind picks up and rustles along,
But never forgets to hum its song:
Rustic,
Hustle,
It's up to you,
For this is the Season of Rustic, too"

BY "SIDE-DOOR PULLMAN''

THE desperate straits in which
the Russian Bolshevists find
themselves is illustrated by
announcement that when his staff
was captured "Trotzky escaped by
hanging to passing freight train"
What a picture! The erstwhile
dictator of some hundreds of mill
lions of people saving his precious
skin by nimbly hopping a freight"
and getting away from the scene of
his defeat by 'side-door pullman"
Slowly, but surely, the Russian
people are coming into their own.
They have. had enough of Trotzky
and their ilk. Bolshevists have
made good none of their fair prom
ises. They have ruined the country,
starved the people, ravaged the
women and now they are at the end
of-their string.
The day is coming when there
will be no passing freight train to
save Trotzky.

= EADERS of the soft coal
miners have put themselves be-
yond the pale.
In defying President Wilson they
have defied the people of the whole
country, whose spokesman the Presi-
dent is.
They are striking for hours and
wages that, if granted, would add
> heavily to the cost of everything
every American wears, eats or uses
for the cost of living depends large
ly on the price of coal.
They want a siX-hour day and a
: five day week, and sixty per cent.
! more wages than, they now get for
I an eight-hour day and a siX-day
> week, and their leaders have the
ing reduced production and the in
creased cost will not be reflected in
prices to the public.
This soft coal strike is headed for
disaster before it begins-for it
does not have back of it that public
. support and sympathy, without
which no strike ever will succeed.
President Wilson has told the
mine chiefs that he means to oper-
ate the mines, strike or no strike,
and the country will stand by him
= in that resolution.
The American people do not mean
to see their mills closed, their rail-
roads stopped and themselves and
their families freeze and starve be-
cause group of labor leaders insist
upon unreasonable, demands. They
will stand back of the President and
his Cabinet as firmly in this crisis us
they did during the war with Ger
many. .r
These coal miners are not striking
against their employers alone-they
are striking against the whole
American people, who will know how
to deal with the situation.

A REAL GOVERNOR

| ~ ONERNOR SPROUTS speech
(r at North Adams, Mass, Tues
day evening marks him not
only as u good Governor, but as a
great and courageous leader; a man
who places national welfare above
politics and who thinks straight and
hits hard.
The Governor is as staunch a Re-
publican as there is in all America,
but he is big enough to acknowl-
edge right and to support it where
ever he finds it. A lesser man might
have hesitated to say what he did
concerning President Wilson's ad-
mirable stand in the soft coal situ-
alton and he might very easily have
'pussyfooted" with respect to the
present labor disturbances. But he
spoke out fearlessly. There is cour-
age, conviction and determination
in every line of what he said con-
corning his nonpartisan attitude in
the bituminous crisis:
l stood by the Democratic
President of the United States in
national emergency and | am
standing by him now in another
enc which seems as threatening
as the menace across the seas a
year ago. l have telegraphed him
that the government of Pennsyl-
Nania Will cooperate with him in
any plan that he may have to
meet the emergency growing out
Of the threatened coal strike,
which Will bring distress and de-
struction, and death even. to in
nocent people throughout the
And am standing by the two
members of his cabinet, both
Pennsylvanians, too, who are
playing, a big part in helping to
William B. Wilson, who was him
self a Pennsylvania coal miner
and union leader. and who IT,
now the Secretary of Labor, and
a. Mitchell Palmer, the Attorney
General, who was my roommate
in Swarthmore College.
1t required a big, broad Republi-
can, in these days of closely drawn
party lines, to speak like that.
Would that there were more Sprouts.
And what the Governor said in
his address about ninety-five per
cent. of the people of the United
States being true to the flag and
our democratic institutions is cor
rect. Reds" and radicals in the
labor unions mean to upset them
if they can. They thrive on dis
order They mold strikes to their
own uses. They care nothing for the
rights of labor. All they want is
revolution - revolution that would
take over every bit of property in
the United States, the homes of
thrifty workmen included; steal the
farms, ruin the factories and bring
about just such another reign of
terror as is coming to an end in
Russia. All that the Governor said
in this respect is true, but it has
not been customary to hear public
men so outspoken as he. Too often
they have their eyes on political
preferment or advantage rather than
upon public welfare. The people
of Pennsylvania may congratulate
themselves that in this time of stress
they have a man in the Governors
chair able to see things as they are
without bias, to correctly analyze the
needs of the hour, and who has the
courage to speak and act as the oc-
casion demands.

selves in their cells to fool the
guards should remember that, like
the gold game, when tried too fire.
quently, 1t is bound to fail.
Joseph Cato, who arrived In the
prison last February to spend the
next fifteen years. as the result of a
certain highway robbery in New
York City, grew tired of confine-
ment and attempted the dummy trick.
But he tried 1t on Frank Price, keep
err, who was fooled successfully by
John McAllister, three months ago,
who still is at large. Price, sus-
pended after the escape, only recently
returned to the post.
He ordered the prisoners into their
cells after supper at o'clock, to
call the roll, as is customary before
the men are released again to go to
the movies. He called the name of
Joseph Gatto," but Joseph responded
not Straightway Price entered the
cell to find beneath the bedclothes
what Edwin B. Brophy. warden, de-
scribed as big rag doll"
Immediately he spread the alarm
and posse of keepers hunted the
missing prisoner. Half an hour later
they discovered him in the pipe shop,
hidden In pile of material In a cor
ner.
To facilitate his light. the guards
discovered he had procured guam
tity of lamp black in the pipe shop
with which to blacken out the white
stripes of his uniform and perhaps
to blacken his face, SO that he would
have about as high visibility as a
Negro on q stormy night
Prison officials look upon Gatto's
dummy as crude in comparison with
the deceiving manikin McAllister
constructed. Cato had merely taken
some muslin strips, rags and his
pillow, nodded them roughly to cor
respond with his torso and then
crudely attempted to sketch the feat
ures of a face.
Gatto's attempt marked the, four
teenth time in fifty years that the
dummy trick had been tried.
