PINCHOT'S REGULARITY
NO AMOUNT of effort can take away
from OIITerd Tlncbet his regularity as
it candidate for the Republican nomination
for the governorship.
He Is as regular ns Mr. Alter. The one
who wins the nomination will he the regular
Republican candidate in the election.
The purpose of the primary Is te find out
which candidate the regular enrolled lie
publicans prefer. It K a content within the
party. Ne e;ie hut Republicans may par
ticipate. Certain leaders of the Republican organi ergani organi
sateon, however, are Mijing that Mr. Pin Pin
rhet is net regulur Decaube they ,huve se
lected another man for the governorship
nd hope te secure the nomination for him.
But certain ether leaders of the organiza
tion arc supporting Mr. Plnchet, whom they
hope te nominate. And Mr. Plnchet is sup
ported also by influential citizens who nre
Republican, although they have no active
Connection with the organization. They
re net men who take orders, and If they
had been seeking indersement for the nomi
nation In geed fnith they would net have
withdrawn nt the last minute when a group
of leaders selected some one cite. They
would have insisted that they owed pome peme
thing te the voters who looked te them for
leadership and direction.
It was because Mr. Plnchet belieed that
he represented the desire of a considerable
number of voters for a new deal in llarris
burg that he refused te withdraw nt the
request of the leaders who picked Alter.
He would have been false te theae eters if
he had withdrawn and left them no rcpre;
tentative of the Issues for which he oed.
The withdrawal of Fisher after Ills nomination-
pnpers had been filed was made be
cause Fisher had pledged himself te tight
the kind of Influences in narrisburg which
Pinchot wifc opposing. The Fisher sup
porters in Philadelphia nnd in every ether
county can threw their support te Pinchot
In the confident belief he will carry en the
ight. ' .. . .
The public will knew en the morning of
May 17 who Is the regular Republican nomi
nee for the governorship, but net until then.
MR. VARE AND THE LADIES
PLAINLY n mechanician is badly needed
for the Vure machine. , A driver is
needed, tee. But the mechanician will have
the most important work te de. (las there
is in plenty. But the thing won't go, nnd
when it does stir a little it moves Inevitably
toward the ditch.
The Vare organization manifested only
light and belated Interest in the wemnn
Tete. Latterly, however, as the going be
came hard, the help of women voters has
come te seem mere nnd mere necessary te
the downtown organization. New Mrs.
Harmen and her associates, upon whom Mr.
Vare has been 'depending with increasing
anxiety, announce that they are angry.
Tbey were snubbed by the Big Bess him
self and they have begun te talk like pro
fessing insurgents.
They should net blame the Big Bess. He
la net yet reconciled te the woman vote.
Until very recently he seemed te have for fer
gqtten that there will be such a thing as a
woman vote. When n mechanician is found
for his machine and when borne of the wheels
have been put. in place again Mr. Vare
ought te advertise for the aid of a philoso
pher. A philosopher could tell him that
gas alone won't run a machine that has
begun te go te.min fore and aft.
'THE PRESIDENTIAL FLEET
THE probability that none of the Chief
Executives- rejected in renaming the
merchant fleet will rise in his large whlte
cravat te say, "What'h that?" has given
the United States Shjpping Heard a securely
free hand. In the 'main this latitude has
heen discreetly exercised.
As was foreshadowed recently en this
page, Jehn Tjler, James Buchanan and
Andrew Jehnsen have been denied the honor
of vessels bearing their surnames. Te these
,'add Millard Fillmete. The shade of Jehn
Qulncy Adams must content itself with the
distinction accorded Us immediate progen
itor. Laurels for the tribe of Harrison are
equivocally distributed. President Harri
son, as the passenger liner Bay .State will
be called, will serve equally for the victor
of Tippecanoe or the less historically re
mote possessor of a grandfntherly top hat.
Frem Grant en no cues for spcctrnl heart
burnings or indignation in the flesh arc fur
nished. A ship for a President is the non
partisan ruling.
In this connection It is interesting te note
that the Wilsen and the Roosevelt are sister
craft, allocated te the same service, from
Baltimore te Honolulu. Mr. Harding is
gigantically memorialized in the rcchrlstened
Leviathan. The Germans obligingly antici
pated us with the Washington, seized during
the war and since retained under a mere
appropriate flag. ,
The presidential merchant Heel wns a
happy thought . It is an attractive tribute
te a precession of nntiennl rulers, represent
ative of an average of statesmanship, in
tegrity nnd patriotism, of which the Republic
way well be proud.
BROKEN WINGS
I who admires genuin
and the -audatty of pioneers will fall
te feel a sense ni regret m me news
that Captnin Cautinhe and Captain Sea
dura, the two Portuguese 'aviators who at
tempted a trans-eceun flight from Lisben
IL r '' ew hundred miles of their' goal. St. Paul's
IP ,'J Reeks, where they descended and damaged
te Rie de Janeiro, isrnzu, taiieu wituin a
M,,, V tbfi wings of their big plane, are only a few
ftfi f Wurs' Might from the Seuth American coast
KfW(?lslBi.
'WHfJ!Va liffct of tk American naval aviators
TOrSB lS lWrrcmatai. therefore, the
s&
1 most conspicuously successful experiment la
acrlal travel overseas. Alcock and Brown,
the two Uritlsh fliers whellrst crossed tne
Atlantic, engaged In what was little mere
than a magnlllccnt adventure, n glorious
display of nerve and will. Their flight,
unlike that of Captain Cnutlnhe and Cap
tain Scmlura and the American nnval men,
was net calculated te add anything techni
cally useful te the science of long-dlstance
aviation. r
The gallant Portuguese officers did net
really fail. Neither did their meter. The
engines, after their long drill, were working
normally. The aviators themselves proved
that air navigation may be carried en with
fine precision In any sort of weather and
that planes can new find their way com
fortably and safely, even through the ocean
fogs. Their journey was Interrupted, ac
cording te dispatches, by a broken wing.
But, slnre men first began te fly, a broken
wing has meant less te them than it means
te creatures that have been flying since the
beginning. It la net a permanent hindrance.
It is only an added incentive te flight!
TRACKS ARE CLEARED FOR
THE EXPOSITION SPECIAL
With Real, Able Leadership In Sight the
Fair Project Is New Out of
the Doldrums
A SUBCONSCIOUS sense of historical
proprieties has thus far constituted the
chief force behind the Sesqul-Ccntcnnlal en:
terprlse. The intensity of this feeling has
survived skepticism, inertia and outward
indifference.
The season of floundering nnd flabblness,
which ends with the first practical moves of
reorganization, unquestionably produced dis
couragement. But the idea dominating the
project commemoration of the one hundred
nnd fiftieth nnniversary of the birth of the
Republic wns incxtingulshnble.
The most Inspiring cause, however, lacks
luster without Inspiring spokesmen. The
Sesqul-Ccntcnnlal program In Philadelphia
was lnltlntcd under favorable subjective
auspices, but It languished through 1 licit of
Inspiriting organization, inexcusable delays
in the selection of n site nnd still mere
lamentable procrastination in cheesing an
authorized lender.
Fortunately there is time te repair the
wastage, te convert experimenting Inte sub
stantial accomplishment nnd te capitalize
the event with energy nnd high purpose.
The Chicago exposition was opened te the
world within three years after the selection
of its site. Even 'after a year of muddled
purposes there is still opportunity for the
Scsqul-Centcnnlal te be fittingly observed
en time.
The immediate need is a commander of
the enterprise who shall combine organizing
vision with experience, personal magnetism
and a grasp of the available machinery of
progress.
This does net mean that a vain search for
supermen must be prosecuted. The right
kind of personal material is procurable and
the character of the new committee In charge
of this work Is u guarantee that it will be
found. Samuel Ren, IMwnrd Bek, Mrs. J.
Willis Martin, n. A. Van Valkenburg, Jehn
H. Masen nnd Jehn II. Lewis are repre
sentative Phllndelplilnns with the requisite
grasp 'of realities. They may be intrusted
te find a chief commissioner who will be
worthy of his' responsibilities nnd magnifi
cent opportunities. The fair has passed out
of the doldrums.
The new stnrt by n select few, however,
must net he construed as a substitute for
Intensive, generous nnd unremitting co
operation by the entire community. In the
light of the present nchnnre, picayune
methods by Council would be intolerable.
A five'-milllen- dollar appropriation is
premised. It should be gi anted at once.
The enormous work of clearing off the
Fiilrnieunt-Parkway-Schujlkill site should
net be Interrupted by fake te.irs for odorif
erous stock urds, health-menacing rookeries
and obtrusive dump areas.
The suspension of taxpayers' s-ults, nnd the
limitation of wrangling ever propel ty -condemnations
nre imperatively In order.
Authentic progress in Philadelphia and
by Phlladelphiana. will invest the enterprise
with precisely the sort of Impetus necessary
te drive home its nppenl te the Legislature
of the State and the Congress of the Natien.
Congressional assistance commensurate
with the whole splendid design Is In the
line of legitimate duty. The exposition is
net a parochial undertaking. It is of vital
consequence te the dignity nnd self-respect
of the Natien.
The Irreducible minimum for success Is,
of course, enthusiastic, practical co-operation
in Philadelphia itself. The full-speed
semaphores have been set. They nre no
longer a visionary conception, but arc sig
nals for an unceasing flew of exposition
traffic 'for these four years, se pregnant with
great possibilities for the city privileged te
provide the national birthday.
EQUAL RIGHTS IN CHURCH?
THUS far there has net been even among
the zealous feminists of the National
Weman's Party nny suggestion of a desire
for equal rights In church which means, of
course, equal rights In the ministry. In
politics and business nnd the social scheme
Miss Paul jind her associates want "abso "abse
lutew equality of opportunity." Programs
of policy Issued by the Weman's Party
would Indicate that the leaders are willing
te lenve the ministry te men.
Whnt would the Church be like if women
should have cqunl rights in the pulpits?
Would it undergo any change? Would It
be sterner or mere tolerant, mere spiritual
or mere Immediately practical than it Is
new? The suggestion of an answer te such
queries may be found in the public state
ments of Miss Maud Reydcn, the ablest nnd
most noted woman evangelist of England,
who, following in the wnke of n small array
of British writers and critics, has just ar
rived in the United States for a lecture
tour. Miss Reyden v.a assistant preacher
at the Londen City Temple. She later
founded the fnmeus Guild Heuse nnd h
noted nbread as a minister of Christianity.
She is ndralttedly n wemnn of strong nnd
vivid spirit and profound earnestness.
Whnt does Miss Reyden think of danc
ing? Well, she believes thnt people should
dance because glancing makes tlicm happy,
and that some of the modern dances should
be abandoned because they are repulsive.
She doesn't say that they should be pro
hibited. "Prohibition," observes Londen's
lady preacher, "is opposed te nil my in
stincts. I should like te see people being
geed because they want te be geed, 'net be
cause tney are ceinpeucu ie ue goeu.
Drinking as it is done in the United States
and England, Miss Reyden snys, is a vice
and a way ought te be, found te step it as
a way was found te step opium smoking in
China. But the seems te dislike the thought
of forcible prohibition almost as much as
she dislikes the thought of general drunk
enness. HUMAN SIDE OF MINING
MR. HOOVER'S statement many months
age that the coal industry was ineffi
ciently erganizcu is uerne eui ey me report
I of the Russell Sage Foundation en the bl
tumlneus industry.
That report finds that the mines are
capable of producing a minimum of 700, -000,000
tens of coal a year and that the an-,
nual consumption Is only 600,000,000 tens.
Tt finds thsA there arc se many miners era-

pleyed that wets; for them cannot be fm 1
for mere than an average of 214jdays a
year, leaving them with ninety Idle work
ing days. It finds, tee, thnt the mines are
operated in such n way that there is over
production in certain seasons, necessitating a
reduction In output in 6ther seasons, with
consequent idleness of the men.
There seems 'te be no serious attempt te
consider the needs of the miners. When
they asked for A five-day week it meant that
they preferred te work five days for every
week in the year rather than te work six
days for part of thetlmc and be idle during
the rest of the year.' ' .
The soft-coal mines have apparently been
overdeveloped. They can supply at least
200,000,000 tens mere than the country de
mands. Until the demand equals the sup
ply there is bound te be treuble unless the
operators change their policy. If the mines
should be, run nt such n rate as te produce
about what the country needs and should be
kept In, operation continuously for twelve
months every year the surplus help put en
when the mines nre running nt their full
capacity would gradually seek ether em
ployment und conditions would beiimpreved.
It is easier te say what should be done
than find a way te induce the operators te
de it. Mr. Hoever Is using such influence
ns he can exert. TheRusscll Sage Founda
tion report will educate public sentiment.
'
HAYS VS. ARBUCKLE
TO WILL II. HAYS, In his role of film
dictator, the movie world and the large
and general multitude that has remained
loyal te the pictures, despite all the disap
pointments nnd disillusionment of the re
cent past, ewo a debt of esteem and appre
ciation. Only a czar or an acknowledged
boss of bosses an Imperial wizard, se te
speak could have succeeded in making the
adjustments of conflicting interests which
must hnve been necessary te keep Fatty
Arbuckle out of the theatres, for the time
being at least.
Of late there has been nn obvious effort
te create something like sympathy for Mr.
Arbuckle. "He muy net have been such a
wicked fellow after all," said the broad
casters of professional propaganda. Amer
icans nre temperamentally en the side of
the mlsfertunnte. But they are net en the
side of Fatty. Whether they were willing
te accept him or net docs net greatly matter.
The situation with which Mr. Heys had te
deal concerns Fatty enlyjndlrectly.
Jt happens that Fatty and his crowd rep
resented much that was lamentable and
destructive in the life behind the films, and
the question new is whether the tendency
toward sanity nnd reform is te be checked
by a coat of official whitewash spread ever
the surface of a problem that needs te be
attacked at the roots. It is net necessnry
te be a prude te realize that an attempt te
return Arbuckle from exile would be bad for
the picture business, even though it might
be of Infinite benefit te the big comedian and
his promoters.
There has been tee much of Fnttyism in
the studies, and, unfortunately, it has
created n generally false impression of the
film world and its people nnd obscured the
very sincere efforts which many producers
and actors are making te advance the art
and elevate the standards of moving-picture
plays. Members of the relatively small but
conspicuous set which has brought a cloud
ever the films ought te be disciplined and
mode permanently aware of their responsi
bilities te the public and te their profession.
What Judge Landis was required te de
for organized baseball Mr. Hays Is doing
for the films. Here, therefore, the country
finds itself compelled te npplnud n return
te. rule by dictators, The bnscball clubs
found a czar necessary te their salvation
and se did the moving-picture interests.
Yet in the long run dictators de mere harm
than geed. It is regrettable that they should
be necessary and that any business or pro
fessional organization should have te con
fess that they need te be saved from them
selves. Without questioning the motives of Mr.
Hays or the movie producers, it is neces
sary te admit that nn official whose word is
a universal law in the movie world wields
tremendous power. Such authority as he
Is permitted te exercise ever a medium
destined te influence nnd color public opin
ion ln'a hundred subtle ways and te stimu
late or depress public taste may be used for
the general geed. But, since it is nuto nute
cratic authority nnd net subject te appeal
or questioning, only the integrity of the
nutecrat himself will suffice te keep it from
being used for opposite ends.
Properly, there Bheuld be no nutecrats
and no censorship nnywhere. Lapses from
geed judgment or geed tnste or ?ven from
decency In nny system of affairs may seem
for u time te justify dictatorships like that
of Judge Landis and Mr. Hays. But a re
turn te czarlsm is necessary only because
men, individually and in their various
groups, have net yet learned hew te disci
pline themselves and se make their work
contributory te the needs of an advancing
social and economic order. Such men and
their communities will be better off when
they learn te get along without the sort of
direction which, but n little whlle age,
.seemed suitable only te illiterates in Russia
nnd elsewhere.
A FEW BONUS FACTS
A GROUP of Republican Senators have
voted in fnver of the passage of a
bonus bill, nnd President Hnrdlng, who has
Insisted thnt no bonus bill should be passed
which did net provlde the money te pay
the cost, 1b said te be suggesting that the
tariff bill contain some prevision for rais
ing the money.
In view of the heavy taxes new levied nnd
In view also of Secretary Mellen's estimate
that the deficit next year will be nearly half
a billion dollars, it will net be easy te find
a popular tax.
Yet the bonus advocates will continue te
tell us that the ether nations have paid
bonuses te their soldiers. They de net tell
the whole story, however.
The Italian bonus was from $157 te $314.
But the Italian private soldier was paid at
the rate of from $7.30 te $14.50 a year.
The minimum pay of an American private
was 390 a year.
The British bonus was from $25 te $145
and the yearly pay of a private was $131.40.
And the French bonus of $40.40 was paid
te soldiers who received n yearly pay of only
$17.25.
The United States has already paid a
bonus of $00 te ench enlisted man. But If
It had paid nothing beyond the yearly wage
th financial status of the American soldiers
would be much better than that of any of
the European soldiers who have received
the extra compensation.
The American Government is spending spending
mere than $1,000,000 a day for the relief
of the disabled, and it will spend mere it
necessary. But there is a growing belief
thnt the country is in no mood at the pres
ent time te tnx Itself heavily in order te
raise money te be paid te the able-bodied
men who received mere generous pay as
soldiers than thnt received by any of the
Europeans beside whom they fought.
We gather from Genea dispatches that
the Russian Communist delegates combine
the bodily sleekness of the American banker
with the sartorial excellence of the Parisian
man-about-town. Tlsh, tush! Thus are il
lusions shattered. We had the impression
that each of them carried n knifeevitcb In
his tcethsby.

"By GEORGE NOX'MeCAIN
I HAD the rare pleasure of handling an
uncut copy of the first edition of the
Edlnburg Scotsman yesterday A .. . . ,
It wns eight pages, beautifully printed,
with scroll head across a thistle, the na
tional emblem of Scotland, ,'Just as the leek
Is of Wales. . . .
In the scroll or principal heading were
the words, "The Scotsman," and below "or
Edlnburg Political and Literary Journal."
The issue was dated Saturday, January
25 1817
in all the years that have elapsed since
that first copy was issued this greatly hated,
yet cherished, critical Journal has never
altered Its headlines.
They are the same today as they were 105
years 'age.
In that respect they differ from every
ether newspaper publication in the world.
I de net Itnew of any Journal whose criti
cisms en literature and politics havevbecn
mere cevetedi or mere greatly feared than
these of the Edlnburg .Scotsman.
An uncut copy is a remarkably scarce
thing In these days.
PEROY W. EDMUNDS is the unusually
. fortunate possessor of this copy, pos
sibly the only one in this country.
It is worth while noting that the "Edln
burg" is.net spelled with' a final "h."
Pittsburgh Is a victim of this peculiarity.
Rebert Pitcalrn, colleague and co-worker
with Andrew Carnegie, fellow Scotsman
and Pennsylvania Railroad official, with the
"Gentleman of the Libraries," was, they
say, responsible for putting the final "h"
te the cognomen of tb.e Smoky City.
"Beb" Pitcalrn was a "braw Scotsman."
Frem a subordinate position in the Penn
sylvania offices at Pittsburgh he grew te be
ene of the, dominating forces, In his time,
in thnt great organization. '
Rebert figured out thnt as Edinburgh had
a final aspirate, which is uncertain, it was
proper and becoming thnt Pittsburgh, of
which he was an adopted son, should be
distinguished In the snrae fashion.
It was a tribute te the land of his birth.
and se when he became a power In the Penn
sylvania Railroad sixty years age the "h"
was added te the Smoky City's title in
honor of the Scotsman.
THIS unique combination of Percy W.
Edmunds, Scotsman and former operatic
star; Rebert W. Pitcalrn Pennsylvania
Railroad operator, and Andrew Cnrneglc,
millionaire Iren nnd steel master, recalls
some interesting Incidents about each of the
trio.
Mr. Edmunds in his earlier years was an
operatic singer, the son of Edmund Ed
munds, famous tenor and boyhood friend of
Bnlfe, the composer.
Mr. Edmunds father was likewise a per
sonal friend of Tem Moere, and te him was
accorded the distinction of "trying out"
mnny of Moere's melodies.
"Beb" Pitcalrn is remembered te this day
by whltc-hnlred empleyes of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad en the Pittsburgh Division
as one of Its most masterful characters.
I knew Rebert Pitcalrn in these dnys,
forty years age. He was n railroad super
intendent while I wns city editor of the most
Influential newspaper in Pittsburgh.
When It came te political deals for the
benefit of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Chris
iM,18?e' VW Fllnn' "Beb" Pitcalrn,
William McCenway. "Tem" Mellen, father
?L,he..pr,e,sent Secretary of the Treasury;
"Teny" Keatlne and "Bnrnpv" MWennn
worked together despite their Republican
and Democratic nntagenisms ns the most
beautiful bi-partisan machine that ever
operated in Allegheny County.
"Andy" Carnegie was then a "prominent
citizen," nnd net quite a millionaire.
ON THE 27th of this month founder's day
will be celebrated at the Carnegie In
stitute In Pittsburgh.
"Andy" Carncgie started en his upward
career as a telegraph operator for the Penn
sylvnnln Railroad at Pittsburgh en February
1, 1853.
His salary was $35 n month.
Themas A. Scott was superintendent of
the Pittsburgh division nt the time.
Carnegie, with all the Scotch thrift of his
ancestors, was intent en making money.
At the same time he was bright, adap
table, eager, and, as I judge from a copy
of a daguerreotype of him in 1854 which I
have before me en my desk as I write, some
what daring and willing te take n chance.
The fact is that Carnegie wns never afraid
te de things en his own initiative.
The family had some savings, nnd en Tem
Scott's advice they peeled their issues nnd
purchased ten !harcs of American Express
stock nt $50 a share, or 50O.
I de net propose te fellow out the various
episodes In Carnegie's life.
I recall as a boy of ten Andrew Carnegie
when he, with the "Dutchman" Kleman,
a fat-faced, bow-legged German, operated
the Carnegie, Klemnn & Ce. Mills at
Thirty-third street, Pittsburgh.
In these days he was "Andy" Carnegie.
rpHE two conspicuous features of Andrew
J.. Carnegie were his superlative egotism ;
the idea that he could accomplish anything,
nnd a fearlessness te' undertake things at
which ether men of his age would hnve
hesitated.
All sorts of Incidents have been quoted as
responsible for Carnegie's remarkable and
rapid advancement ns a financier.
I think it was entirely due te his fear
lessness and luck. He was net afraid te de
things, added te which was n remarkable
measure of what is called "luck."
Here is a sample of what I mean :
SAMUEL HARDEN CHURCn, secretary
of the Pennsylvania Lfncs West, whose
friendship I have enjoyed for a great many
years, tells this story of Carnegie :
Themas A. Scott, along about 1853, was
division superintendent of the Pennsylvania
read with headquarters in Pittsburgh.
Andrew Carnegie, a few months short of
being eighteen, was a telegraph operator
In Scott's office.
One morning there was a mighty bad
Trreck enat of PlttsbUDsh.
The read was blocked, Superintendent
Scott wns net te be found, and instant ac
tion te clear the lines and unlock traffic was
necessary.
In his subordinate position the boy oper
ator knew what bheuld be done. y
At the same time 4ie was helpless, because
he lacked the necessary authority te clean
up the situation.
He waited until affairs became critical,
and then, with the daring of youth and the
conviction of the right thing te de, he fired
out telegraph messages te subordinates in
charge of wrecking work and transportation.
He bad the nerve te sign the name of
a..norlntpndent Scott te his messnaeR.
The result of that day'a work was that
Tem Scott made "Andy" Carnegie his sec
retary. Frem that en Carnegie was Scott's alter
ego when It came te doing the things that
were necessary in moments of crisis. It
made Carnegie.
Talk about "nerve" nnd luck!
nindenburg says he be-
Deferred llcves in Germany's res-

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
i THEODORE J. LEWIS
On Health and the Seaqul-Centennlal
THE approaching Sesqul-Ccntcnnlal makes
it Imperative that Philadelphia be at
once put In the best possible physical shape
. - .. heaifti pnnftltlena nre concerned,
according te Theodere J. Lewis, a member
of the Advisory Beard of the Department of
Public Health.
"In view of the coming Sesqul-Centen-nlal,"
said Mr. Lewis, "when there will be
n very large number of visitors te the c t
and temporary residents, whose visits will
rati from one week te perhaps four or me
months, it is of the utmost Importance that
the city be in the best condition that can
be obtained in se far as safeguarding the
henlth-ef these visitors as well.as of the per
manent residents of the city is concerned.
"Dr. Furbush is nlrcndy working en plans
te sccure this result, nnd these plans hnve
the hearty support. of members of the Ad
visory Bea'rd of the Health Department.
Te Profit by Experience
"Philadelphia may well take a lessen from
Its own experience during the Centennial
exhibition in 1870. At that.tlme there was
much sickness, especially Intestinal disor
ders, both among the residents of the city
and the visitors, nnd in mnny cases it might
be directly traced te entirely preventable
physical conditions. It is the aim of the
Department of Public Health te get the city
in order nt the earliest possible moment, se
that there will be no repetition of this un
fortunate occurrence. It is imperative fpr
the geed name of Philadelphia that this be
pushed" by theC co-eptation of the' citizens.
"In the last analysis the cleanliness of
any city depends directly upon the will et
the citizens te have a clean town. The De
partment of Health may advise i what the
most effective measures for obtaining this
result are. but it Is impossible for it te see
,. .i.. i;.f nil ilin work necessary is done.
But if the idea of municipal cleanliness be
once instilled into the citizens the thing li
as geed as accomplished.
"Te this end the department urges new,
as it has repeatedly In the past, that the
elementary , principles of sanitation be
strictly observed. Every householder can
elve mnterlal assistance te this end by seeing
that the back yards are cleaned up, that a
general appearance of cleanliness nbeut the
house and yard is maintained nnd that the
Btreet In front of the residence is kept free
from filth and debris of nil kinds. ,
"But It Is net nlene these in the resi
dential sections, of the cjty that can bring
this nbeut. Tradesmen are especially ro re ro
auested te glve their personal attention
toward preventing the littering of the side
walks and the streets in front of their places
of business with papers and refuse from
their shops. This is necessary both for ap
nearance and for health.
"If this is begun new nnd kept up for n
short time there will be no difficulty nbeut
the cleanliness of the city by the time the
Sesqul-Ccntenrilnl opens. The habit of
cleanliness is no mere difficult te learn than
that of disorder, and It is a great deal better
for every one concerned.
Many Open Vaults
"The vacant let in the large city, unless
carefully watched by the owner, is always
used te some extent as a dumping ground
for refuse et nil sorts, and, if jt were pos pes
iKi nreiiratclv te trnce the origin of dis
ease, much of it would undoubtedly be found
te c'ome from this source. Therefore, It is
part of the plan of the Department of Pub
lic Health te secure the co-operation of the
owners of vacant lets te. see that, these sites
are kept free from rubbish and filth. Un
sightly weeds, which often furnish cover for
disease-carrying Insects, should be uprooted
and the grounds kept In a clean and or
derly manner. All residents are urged te
keep their yards free from filth and accu
mulated' refuse, and te keep their kitchen
refuse gathered in .water-tight metal palls
with close-fitting covers.
"During the Centennial Exhibition in
1876 one of the-most Important factors In
the spread of disease was the undraiucd out
door vault. The department has begun a
special campaign against these -menaces te
public health, and it is te be hoped that
they will have entirely disappeared from the
city before the opening of the fair In 1020.
It would certainly reflect seriously upon the
city te have It observed that these vaults
still exist In a municipality of the first class.
"The intensive clean-up campaign of the
department has in view the elimination of
, F . . . . i .,'..,..'- '
insanitary conditions caused by these vaults,
mesquite-breeding plnces and peer housing
conditions, nnd the plan is te use the entire
personnel of the Division, of Heusing nnd
Snnltntlen, in co-operation with n number
of civic organizations which have expressed
approval of the clean-up Idea, te bring" about
n general nbatement of nuisances In the In
terest of the general health of the city.
"The Health Department will direct its
campaign especially toward the elimination
of all such vaults en sewered streets. As
Dr. Furbush says, It Is Indeed a serious
reflection upon Philadelphia, which beasts
of being one of the healthiest cities in the
United States, that there are still mere thnn
J,i-00.ef thcse wclls ln tllc c,tyf et which
3355 of them nre en sewered streets. Every
ene of them is a menace te the health of the
citizens in thnt it may be the source of dis
tribution of typhoid fever and of intestinal
disorders.
"Much has been done toward the elimi
nation of these dangerous vnults in the last
eight jcars. According te the records of the
Department of Public Henlth ln 1014 there
Jyere listed 42,5.3 of these wells In the city
Imits, nnd since that time 20.209 of them
have been climinnted. All of theso remain
ing en thevsewered streets should be aban
doned promptly nnd then thoroughly cleaned
?n ,., '?? "" Te this desirable end the
Health Department urgently makes its ap
peal te the owners of properties having
these vnults te co-operate In the Immediate
removal of the dlseabe-brecding plnces. which
nre a serious drawback te the sanitary
progress of the city. "uiiury
'The records of the Division of Heusing
and Sanitation indicate that a numbeVet
