WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 21 A PROMISE OF PEACE INSTEAD of the bludgeon, the hang ing of big business on a gibbet as high as Haman and the threat ened Imprisonment of manufactur ers who dared shut down their plants, there Is an entirely different tone in administration quarters at Washing ton. Peace hox-ers over the scene of revolutionary propaganda aud social istic theory. There has been a transformation almost over night and the harassed business man and the menaced manu facturer are given the assurance that the harrow is to be removed from their backs and industry and the ac tivities of trade are to be permitted to expand without tho fear of attack from all sides. President Wilson intimates, in lan guage which can hardly be misunder stood, that the noisy demagogue who seemed enthroned at Washington has had liis little day and that sane men are to be given a place in the counsels of the nation. Instead of the ripping apart of the very fabric of industry and prosperity there is to be punish ment only for those guilty of actual violations of law and no tearing down of the whole business structure. Let us hope that the age of reason has returned and that hysteria has passed away for good. Trust busting and the baiting of legitimate industry In the name of Industrial reform have given the nation such an attack of insomnia that months will be required to restore the contentment and peace which are necessary to a country's welfare. As suggested by the Philadelphia Public Ledger, the "order of the day has changed; the puerile stage has passed; the demagogues have had their holiday rout and sober men in all parties representing nearly all ac tivities and conditions in life will try, let us hope, to find a remedy for real evils in an orderly, sane and reason able attempt to aid the nation, its business and its people." It !s reported that the Japanese fore caster who failed to predict the recent earthquako committed suicide. We should like to know what would happen to the forecaster who would permit a flareback on coronation day in Tokio. DK. RAT'NICK'B HI2POKT DR. RAUNICK, city health officer, i has given Council plenty to think about in the annual re port of his department sub-" mitted yesterday. Never in the history of health regulation in Harrisburg has there been presented such a carefully prepared or comprehensive document. It Is replete with suggestions for im provements, and if all of them are given consideration Commissioner Bowman and tho reappointed Health Board will have ample to occupy their attention for the remainder of the year. Three or four of Dr. Raunick'g sug gestions are so manifestly in accord with the needs of the city that they are deserving of prompt attention. He j lays stress upon the Importance of! creating the office of social service! nurse, whose duties would be the edu cation of mothers in the care of babies, to the end that the lives of many little ones now needlessly sac rificed may be saved. Beyond ques tion there is no more important phase of the great conservation movement now occupying so extensively the thought of the public than that per taining to the preservation of human life. Tt Is also unquestionably true that Dr. Rauniek is right when he says that hundreds of babies die an nually because of the ignorance of parents. The Visiting Nurse Associa tion, the Sunshine Society and other organizations have done a good'work along this line in the past, but the city should not permit a public duty io be performed by private enterprise, and Dr. Rauniek is pursuing an ad vanced policy in advocating the ap pointment of a nurse whose especial care shall be the welfare of the babies. The extension of the duties of the milk and meat inspector to take in the general inspection of all foodstuffs is another move In the right direction, ami in this respect the recommenda tions of the health officer that res taurants, bakeries, ice cream and other food-making establishments be WEDNESDAY EVENING regularly Inspected by Health Board agents are particularly timely. We take great pride In the fact that we have clean streets and health-giving parks, pure water and good milk. It is equally. If not more Important, that we should give careful attention to the quality and cleanliness of all our foodstuffs. The ne#d of a workhouse for the care of tramps and others who have been sleeping In the /unsanitary lock up, the Improvement of conditions In the high school, the revision of the building code, closer attention to pluniblng Inspection from a sanitary standpoint and the overhauling of the sanitary hospital are other Important points in a report far too voluminous to be discussed except by sections. "Jim Ham" Lewis' recent L he was a candidate twice and each time went down with big majorities ugalnst him. Lybarger is said to be willing to make another try and will in the course of a few weeks come this way again. He is something of a speech maker and arrangements are being framed to have him make a "keynote" speech at one of the clubs. The Democratic city committee Is composed of men not very favorable to the bosses, although they have not made an issue out of it. If the dis position to force Lybarger continues I there may be a breach and the succes sor to Howard O. Holstein as city chairman may be an out and out antt- I boss chairman. The appointment of Jim Mageo as the United States marshal in this dis trict caused a number of Dauphin Democrats to send him their congratula- Magee to tiona; while up In Take Hold Perry his neighbors Very Soon gave him quite a tri bute In the way of calls and letters. Mr. Magee will enter upon his office in a short time as Marshal James M. Yea ger has everything ready to turn over to him. It is believed that Magee will have his headquarters here and will name a man from this region as a deputy. Mr. Magee is a son of a for mer congressman, the last congress man Perry county had and once held a position himself In the internal reve nue office in Lancaster under Ray mond E. Shearer who was collector under Cleveland. Magee's selection is taken to mean that Democrats around here must not get too insistent in de mands for jobs. Democratic State machine bosses are wondering what will bo the effect of a letter which State Chairman Koland S. Morris best known as the scoutmaster has sent out through the Morris is State in the form of a Playing Jackson day address. the Game I Morris made a speech |at a recent Jackson | dinner in which he pointed to his own ■ select band of factionlsts as the salt of the Democracy. The excuse for | the issuance of the address is Jackson, I but the tenor of it is that Democrats should not sign the nominating peti tions of any candidates except tried | and true Democrats, tried and true being men aligned with thb reorgani zation gangsters. Morris is said to be much disturbed over the prospect that the anti-gangsters will force a meet ing of the Democratic State commit tee after the election of State commit teemen in May and throw him out. This address is taken to be a call for his friends to line up. It will likely have the effect of solidifying the enemies of the gang which is behind Morris. Speaker George A.

"I'm here simply to appeal before the Pub lic Service Commission in behalf of some railroad friends of mine, the Brotherhood men, who are seeking to have a ruling on the question of passes for their wives and families." said he. "Just now I am watching the parade, so to speak." The speaker would not talk about any candidates for gover nor or anything else. While here he met a number of members of the last House who gave him their best wishes. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS \ —Scoutmaster Morris' call to Dem ocrats sounds like a call of the faith ful to polish up their muskets. —Anyhow Congressman Dershem will be able to sleep better now that Magee Is taken care of. —The word of the hour among Democrats Is "See Kirkendall." —Dr. H A. Hutchinson of Pitts burgh, may be a candidate for con gress-at-largo on the Bull Moose ticket, Congressman-at-large Art Rupley is said to be preparing an address to the voters. Some one called "Help" when he made his address at the 1 recent Bull Moose conference. —Local Democrats are being felt out as to how they stand on Berry. Some will not stand. RIGHTS OF ALIEN S [Philadelphia Bulletin.] There is more than local interest in the opinion of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice White dissenting, sus taining the Pennsylvania statute barring aliens from the privilege of licensed hunting within the State and prohibiting their possession of shotgun or rifle. The court confines itself to the case in hand and declares that the prohibition is within the rights of the State in the protection of public safety and. therefore, is not contrary to any treaty pledge. Nevertheless, it is likely to furnish a precedent for further dis criminatory legislation affecting alien residents of other States, where, no doubt, the requirements of public safety may be stretched to justify the restraint or prohibition, safety being as violable through immorality, un sanitary habits, or under-competitlon In industrialism, as through the reck less handling of shotguns and rifles. Pennsylvania Is not alone In its limi tations of the rights of aliens, and tho prohibition against alien property holding which lias made California a target for criticism in its agitation against the Japanese is not wholly peculiar to that State. California has claimed that she was within the letter of tho law in the legislation enacted and there has been a doubt as to whether the Supremo Court would rule to the contrary should the issue be brought before it. The real offense of Governor Johnson and his legis lature was in disregarding the national interest, for which all States have a joint responsibility, and in rushing forward with a program of legislation which operated as an interference with and an obstruction to national treaty making.
