designations from the policemen's
union are reported, in such number
that the early abandonment of that
form Of organization by the force is to
be expected, notwithstanding the for

tinue pending the decision of the court

right under the law to forbid afilia.
ton with the American Federation Of
Labor. This would be the wisest
course for the policemen to pursue.
If there was any virtue whatever in
the effort to unionize the force as a
means Of emphasizing the necessity of
an early and generous increase Of pay,
that end has been accomplished. But
persistence in the affiliation in the
face Of distinct warnings that Con-
gress will not act in granting a higher
pay scale while that relationship pre-
walls will be foolish and futile.

expression Of = public right. The peo.
| pie are present in the seats above the
chamber as privilege, and they should
comport themselves properly. The de-
bates that occur on the floor are not
public spectacles or entertainments.
They are serious procedures in the
line Of public business. It may be
that ludicrous things develop in the
course Of these debates. Legislators
say foolish things at times and occa-
sionally they themselves forget the
rules Of decorum and engage in lively
personalities and in extravagant hyper
bole. That, however, does not justify
the galleries in breaking in upon the
debates with handclapping and cries as
on recent occasion, or in expressing
disapproval by Kisses.
A sharp enforcement Of the rules
would be necessary only once or twice
to restore order. No matter how en-
thusiastic the auditors in the public
benches may become, they should be
held in restraint under penalty of los
ing their places if they transgress
plain rules which the Senate and the
House Of Representatives as we'll have
adopted for the preservation of order
in the transaction of the public bust
ness.

day declaring that Fiume should be
awarded to Italy merely stands as an
affirmation Of policy, not weakening
the expression Of confidence in the
ministry.
Had Nitti lost the vote in the cham.
Der yesterday he would have resigned
His successor must have undertaken
to organize a ministry in sympathy
with the sentiment that sustains the
piratical act of D,Annunzio in seizing
Fiume in defiance Of the conditions
tentatively laid down by the Paris
peace conference. Nitti plainly stated
the issue in his speech to the chamber.
"It is indispensable" he said, "that
Italy be united in an accord with her
allies; the alliance formed for the
war must necessarily continue during
the peace"
Meanwhile D'Annunzio remains at
Fiume and issues defiant statements.
He cannot be permitted to stay there
as conqueror in the name Of Italy un-
less the Paris conference concludes to
accept his seizure Of the city as an
accomplished fact that cannot be un-
done short of renewal of the war.
This is, in truth, task for the gov
ernment at Rome. Withdrawal of
D,Annunzio's forces from Fiume would
not be an abandonment of Italy's
ssa.n. It would be an act Of good
faith pending final settlement.

The Mob Spirit Spreading.

The list lergthens. Washington, Chi
cago, Knoxville, Boston and now
Omaha. How much further, and how
rapidly, will the mob spirit spread I
And where will hades break loose nexti
This Omaha outbreak carries fea-
lures Of the gravest character, and
shows how bold front lawlessness is
putting on these days. No mention is
made Of masks. Presumably, none was
worn. The members Of the mob prob
ably felt entirely safe in psrading
themselves unmasked on an errand Of
violence. Who would report themf If
reported and indicted, what jury would
convict themi Where have mob lead
ers been punishedf Why, therefore,
wear masks7
Note what happened to the mayor
and the chief Of police Of the town.
Usually, when officers Of the law,
judges or executives, or prominent
clergymen or business men, appeal to
q mob, they are heard, even when their
appeals 60 unheeded, with respectful
attention. But, in this case, when the
mayor interposed, rope was prompt
" thrown around his neck, and, bleed
ing and unconscious, he was rescued
with difficulty from the clutches Of
those trying to lynch him. And the
chief Of police, after briefly expostu-
lating with the rioters, barely escaped
with his life.
The object Of the demonstration was
q negro charged with the most horrible
OF offenses, and certain Of death il con-
victed under the forms Of law. Bus in
the effort to get him, the mob applied
the torch to the building in which he
was confined, and . hundred other
prisoners and their guards put in peril
Of roasting. And from that one burn
ing building the whole town might
have been 1gn1ted.
The public is occupied with many
important questions Nearly every
thing is showing the effects Of what
the country has experienced during the
past two and half years. All busi-
ness Is out Of plumb. Unrest and dis
content are general Asitators and
faddists are filing the air with their
cries and prescriptions. Some Of the
widest doctrines ever heard in this
country touching governmental affairs
are being openly and noisily advocated
now. Congress 10 just beginning to
take up reconstruction problems Of the
highest consequence.
Now, Of all times, is the time for
order, for patient and thorough inves.
tigation, for sober thinking, and for
we'll calculated action. And yet here
is this spirit of fury and lawlessness
abroad, indulging itself without fear,
and mocking even civilization. II it
cannot be and il not checked; il it
continues to grow and 60 its own way,
which is always the way of destrue-
tivcness. we shall presently ind our.
selves facing . situation and . problem

Nitti's Vote Of Confidence,

Come squarely to the issue. the Ital-

hold Italy in line With the allies.

CITY COMMENDED
FOR PENN-HARRIS
Public Spiritcdness Approved
by Magazine of National
Circulation

The aggrcssiveness and civic
spirit of Harrisburg in bringing
about the completion of the Penn
Harris hotel as community asset,
are commended in an article which
appears in the current issue of the
American City, a magazine of nat
ional circulation devoted to the dls-
scmination of news concerning tne
noteworthy achievements of Ameri-
can cities. The article describes the
hotel us one of the most up-to-date
and modern in the country.
THE Penn Harris hotel in Harris
burg is monument to the civic
pride of the Capital City of Penn
sylvania," the item states, 1T offers
not only unrivaled facilities for the
entertainment of conventions, put
provides community center Tor inc
assembling and entertaining of Har-
risburg's residents"
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce also is commended in the
article for its activities in Drlng-
ing about the completion of the
project.
THE campaign for the erection OF
I the hotel was launched and carried
through to "a successful issue by the
Chamber of Commerce, with the
loyal support of the public spirited
citizens of the community. When
it became apparent that outside cap
ital would demand such eXorbltan'
terms that the city would be the
loser in the transaction, the Har-
risburg Hotel Company was organ
lied and incorporated. The stock
was put on sale and quickly taken
up by the citizens. 1t is held by 427
stockholders, practically all of whom
are residents of Harrisburg, or We're
when the project started. Three
local businessmen each subscribed
for $4,000 worth of the stock, three
others took $4,000 each, and one
individual took block of $4,000
worth"
How the hotel was completed
despite the obstacles accruing from
the war, and it's successful opera
ton during the first few months
since its opening, also are described
in the magazine article.
