MORE LIGHT ON THE MESS

ESuMPTION Of hearings sn the man
II agernent of the States financial affairs
is marked by the disclosure OF most unbusi-
nessllke methods.
II has been discovered that the State has
lost more than SO, 900 in interest on active
deposits in banks because no one seemed 10
think It worth while 10 see to II that the
Interest was properly credited. OF this sum
$40, 900 can be collected but the remainder
is gone beyond recall.
Then, too, it has been disclosed that Mr.
Kephart, when State Treasurer, was in the
habt Of putting men on the payroll who
were sent to him by the late Senator Crow.
One man who was deputy sheriff in Pitts
burgh drew pny from the State under an
assumed name. lie described himself as
"traveliug companion" Of Mr.. Kephart,
and as the man who answered the telephone
and went for the mail. He could give no
satisfactory reason for drawing his pay
under an assumed name.
lie and other men were put on tho pay
roll, and some Of them were assigned to
work and others did nothing. They evil
IDENTIFY were men who had to be taken
care Of" and the funds of the State were
used for the purpose.
II IS becoming evident that the Renubli-
can voters knew whnt they were about when
they turned down the machine candidate for
Governor and selected Mr.. Pinchot.

great many such instances are reported

The Pennsylvania Railroads contribution
to the current discussion Of the question OF
motor casualties is about ms interesting and
significant as the ordinary week end police
reports of highway accidents. 1t cites thr-
teen clauses of report made 'by observ-
ers stationed at railway grade crossings to
indicate that virtually all drivers Of motor
cars drive carelessly over railroad tracks.
The simple fact is that all grade crossings
ought TO be protected By safety gates.
So long as railroad corporations refuse
to provide safeguards of the sort that arc
compulsory in almost every other civilized
country the railroads may properly be
charged with contributory negligence In
every accident Tint occurs at the intcrsec-
tion of open highways and their lines.

plNcHoT'S TERRIBLE THREAT

JTARRISBURG is one of the great, un.
L l. advertised vacation resorts Of the State.
II is the cherished seat Of the only leisure
class that Pennsylvania can boast. Mr..
Pinchot, threatening 10 compel this orna-
mental minority TO toll as ordinary human
beings do, is in n way to become known as
n dsturber Of the peace and n dangerous
breaker down of sacred preccdents.
Some Of the folk at Harrisburg arc
already calling the Republican candidate a
Bolshev!st But that is hardly fair Bol.
shoyists stick together, and Mr.. Pinchot
displays no sympathy for the theory Of com
munism which politicians have practiced at
the State capital for years and years.
At Harrisburg under each succeeding ad-
ministration you will find the only true boil
sheyistic group In the United States-a
rather large assemblage Of men and women
who appear to feel that they should be sup
ported in ease and relative luxury by the
State and that they should not be asked to
eIpend physical or nervous energy Ia return
for the right to live.

THE NEW STAGE IN THE FAIR

THERE can be no question thnt in signing
i the fair resolution President Harding
was fully cognzant cf the opportunity for
ftly signnlizing a great historical anniver-
sary.
Congressional Endorsement is not usually
solicited for expositirns limited in scope or
projected with tlmorous reservations. The
Federal sanction, secured yesterday. car
ries with it. in sense which should be In
spring and imperative, definite obliSa-
ton.
Congress has approved the Sesqui- Cen
tennial. 1t is now the duty OF it's pro-
moters who have solicited this recognition to
Justify the faith thus implied
A new stage in the progress Of the under
taking has been reached. Congress and the
President have the right TO expect that the
fair will be worthy OF the meaning OF the
epochal date which it is 10 celebrate.
The period of initial formnl!tics has been
completed. The immediate requirement IS
the co ordination Of enerszing forces and
the organization Of large scale endeavor de-
signed to give reality to promises and aspi.
rations.

McSPARRAN'S PREDIcAMENT

The Democratic candidate for Governor is
Of the expressed opinion that his opponent
is severely criticizng the way in which the
affairs of this Commonwealth have been ad-
ministered.
Somehow or other it is difficult TO escape
the conviction that Mr.. McSparran has ad-
mirably interpreted his rivals principles and
purposes. Such generosity is rare in politi-
cal campaigning.
Very possibly Mr.. McSparran did not in
tend to be complimentary. His obvious aim
was to accuse Mr.. Pinchot of aversion to
some of the practices of politicians within
his own party.
Mr.. Pinchot can be imagined as CRATE
fully accepting the impeachment. He has
never hestated TO proclaim his interest in
clean government and his resolve to bring
order out of chaos and maladministration in
Pennsylvania.

petitor for the highest office in the State

the increase in the medical work Is that the

mitted to have their own choice of physician.
surgeon or hospital, and we cooperate in
every way.
81 have visited and inspected the police
and fire departments Of every large city in
the East, and believe that Philadelphia is
doing more for the welfare of the policemen
and firemen than any other city.
Great improvements have been made in
the medical branch of the Department Of
Public Safety during the last two years
we now have modern surgical dispensnry,
nose and throat dispensary. eye dispensary,
neurologica dispensary and medical dispen-
mry. There Is also maintained at the
Philadelphia General Hospital a surgical
ward exclusively for the treatment of the
members Of the two bureaus We have our
own N-ray apparatus, complete sterilizing
facilities and our own pharmacy. We make
and dispense medicines free Of charge to the
policemen and fremen. BY purchasing these
supplies in large quantities and by making
medicines the city Is saved considerable
sum each year.
Everything Possible Is Done

are working for their best interest, and that
we will do everything possible for them II
they will give their best efforts to the city.

vision the medical care Of all prisoners tho
examination of chauffeurs accused of In
toxication, medico legal cases and cases Of
insanity. These cases are ably cared for by
tho forty four district surgeons in the en-
ploy Of the city. These district surgeons
attend fires throughout the city.
1T is not generally known that a district
surgeon attends every one alarm fire In the
mercantile district, and two or more district
surgeons attend every large fire throughout
the city. All ambulance calls for fires or for
serious accidents. such as the collapse OF
