Our proposition as embodied in this bill 1s that the right should be recognized, that the poor, the mained and the stricken should be treated and cared for and that the state should psy the expense thereof, We would recognize right of the unfortunate to treatment and the right of the hosepi- tal to reimbursement. We deny the right of a political boss to distribute millions of dollars of public funds as a favor to the recipient for the purpose of creating a debt to him who collect- ed through the ballot box. “Oar proposition is to support charity for the benefit of the people and pre- vent its capitalization #9 an asset of a political bose,’ —— Rarely has Pennsylvania’s govern- ment, crippled by self-seeking politi- cians tho it be, presented 8a more piti- able spectacle than the quarrel over the “spolle” which started last week between the legislative-created Com- mission of Public Bafety and Defense and the gubernatorial 2reated Commit. tee on Pablic Bafety. Pennsylvania's course in public de- feose matiers since war on Germany was declared by congre's hes been, at best, lamentable. Bupport of the nat- ional administration has been confin- ed mainly to worde—snd many of these words were resolutions by the legislatare, produced by Democrats who, hamstrung by Republican fact- foaniismo, were unable to go farther than words. The only exception to Penvsylvania’s dawdling wes the man- per in which National Guard units re- sponded to President Wilson's call for police duty ; there wa" no opportun- ity for pettiness, The Legislature haggled for weeks over the method by which the $2,000, 000 public defense appropriation ear- ried in the Woodward-Puckman bill should be spent. Governor Brum baugh, baviog consented to a ** wer board’ headed by himself, allowed the bill to lie on his desk for days without action, No sooner was the money made available by his signatare than a quar rel broke out between the commission snd the committee, Unfortunately, nobody has been able to flud at the bottom of the differency the slightest trace of patriotism. It «imply has gotten down to the usual quarrel over the spolle. LIKE THE WHISKERED MAN “ar tas Caused Quite a Change in the Views of Waiters in New York Hotels. Broadway hotels, tipaters and lob ster palaces are full of whiskers, They the alfalfa variety that are aed in Kansas or the hayseed kind 1 the small towns, These whiskers are luxurious looking, nicely trained, groomed and perfumed, writes the New York correspondent of the Pitts burgh dispatch. Each hirsute appen- dage bears the stamp of Russian, Per- slan, Italian and Latin-American cul- tivation. The war has driven thou sands of foreigners of great wealth and social position to these shores, and they have brought plenty of money with them to enjoy the gay The facial drapery ia a ready- money sign to the servitors. Let any man with whiskers and a polished manner take a seat at the restaurant tables and the waiter immediately be- gins to figure up the size of the tip he will receive, Some of the tips are said to bo so large from these for eigners that the waiters are almost on the verge of nervous prostration. Strange, too, not long ago the man who hid his face behind a beard was looked upon by the serving men as a tightwad. Gascon gave him the once over and cursed fate for having to gerve him. But now they welcome the man with whiskers with a smile and an itchy palm, are not life. British Sea Food. Whatever may come to Great Brit ain in the way of high prices for meats she still will have a limitless supply of fish, a food supply denied to Ger many and her allies. The London market quotes a good demand at fair prices for turbot, brill, halibut, soles, plaice, whiting, hake, gurnet, skate, live cod, red mullet, dories, haddock, lire and dead eels, ete. English mack- erel are quoted at four shillings, about a dollar, for twenty, and dead cod at seven shillings six pence a stone, that is $1.87 for 14 pounds. Four boats at Yarmouth landed, in spite of rough weather, 180 barrels of fresh fish. The price of herring went up from 80 shil- lings to 120 shillings a can-——that is, a barrel. Along the coast of Scotland many vessels were out. At Aberdeen 16 vesels, all trawlers, landed a total of 63 tons.
