CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 28 1908
SUPREME CUT
DECLARES AGAINST !
STREAM POLLUTION
Highest Tribunal of Justice In Penn
sylvania Upholds Constitutionality
of the Purity of Water Law.
MUST PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH !
Owner of Mill From Which Scwago
Flowed Into the Schuylkill
River Is Held Guilty.
Judge Swartz, of the Montgomery
county courts, in delivering his opinion |
said: "The act of the legislature is a |
police regulation for the protection of
(he public health. This is a highly bene- 1
ftcial art; it is doing much to promote
public health."
Judge Porter, of the superior court,
In his opinion said: "The statute was
passed in the exercise of the police
power of Lite state. That power un
doubtedly extends to all regulations af
fectiii'-' ilii health, good order, morals.
peac< ::i: ' atcty of society. All sorts of
I'estri j: u a: •: burdens are imposed
'under t lis . n.l when these aru
not in < (,:..•!<• ..ill) any cpr.stitutional
prohibit!';. lundsut. ntal principle,
they cannot !»•• succe nilly assailed in
a judicial tribunal. That the preser- !
vation of tl ■ waters <if the state from :
pollution, involving danger to health, !
is a prop T subject for the exercise of
the police power cannot be seriously
Questior - d."
Of widespread importance is the re-. 1
cent decision of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania upholding the constitu
tionality of the ait of April 22, 1905, !
known as the "Purity 01 Water Law,"
under which the commissioner of i
health is given power to protect the
streams of lhe state from pollution.
The case in question was the "Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania against Ed
ward Emmcrs," and had been carried 1
by the defendant front the Norristown
county courts to the superior court and
then to the supreme court, the decision
in each instance convicting the party
violating the Purity of Water Law by
polluting a stream with sewage.
The defendant is the owner and op •
ator of the hosiery mill situated 011 or 1
near the banks of the Schuylkill river, j
in Montgomery county, wher ■ h • c:n- j
ploys a large number of op r-itor-
Nine water closets for the use o: the:;,
employes, sewage from all of wh.o
closets was discharged by a single pipe I
into the Schuylkill river, were declared |
by the commissioner of health to be !
menace to public health, and the de
fendant was given notice that this dis- j
charge of sewage must be discontinued I
under the provisions of the Purity of j
Water Law. Failing to comply with
the law, the mill owner was prose- j
cuted.
Conductor Assaulted by Hoboes.
At about midnight ou Saturday i
night last, Conductor Crawford stopped !
his train in the P. &E. yard at Ridg- j
way, and was walking along skle of his j
train from the rear to front, when two |
men got off the train and demanded
of the conductor, "Have you any )
money?" Mr. Crawford replied, "No
but if 1 had I wouldn't give it to you,"
whereupon 0110 of the men hit the
conductor The conductor drew hi 3
revolver, but had difficulty in petting
it togo off, and the hoboes lied so
rapidly that they escaped.—Ridgway j
Record.
ingetsoll on Clover.
In declining an invitation to a Clover
club dinner once Colonel Robert Inger
soll wrote:
"A wonderful thing is 'clover.' It
means honey and cream—that is to say,
industry and contentment—that is to
say, the happy bees in perfumed fields
and at the cottage gate 'Old Boss,' the
bountiful, serenely chewing satisfac
tion's cud in that blessed twilight
pause that, like a benediction, falls be
tween all toil and sleep. This clover
makes me dream of happy hours, of
childhood's rosy cheeks, of dimpled
babes, of wholesome, loving wives, of
honest men, of springs and brooks and
violets and all there is of stainless joy
in peaceful human life.
"A wonderful word is clover! Drop
the 'e,' and you have the happiest of
mankind. Take away the 'c* and 'r,'
and you have left the only thing that
makes a heaven of this dull and bar
ren earth. Cut off the 'r' alone, and
there remains a very deceitful bud that
sweetens the breath and keeps peace In
countless homes whose masters fre
quent clubs. After all, Rottom was
right, 'Good hay, sweet hay, hath no
fellow.'"
