A goodly number of the newspap-
ers of the state have fallen into the
error of supposing that the consti-
tutional amendments now being
advertised throughout the state will
be submitted to the popular vote
next November. They must be act
ed upon by the legislature af 1909.
If that body approve they will be
submitted to the vote of the people
in November 1909. They are pub
lished in accordance with the re-
quirements of the organic law and
for public information. If the peo-
pie believe they should be adopted,
or that any of them should be reject
ed they have the opportunity of eX-
pressing their views to their repre-
sentatives before the next meeting
of the legislature. The average legis-
lator would be glad vote the way his
constituents desire.

There is IA news paper printed in
Susquehanna county whose editor
has the right idea about the curfew
business says the Altoona Tribune.
He advises every family into
which his paper finds its way as a
friendly visitor to institute curfew
of It's own. When that comes to
pass there will be no boys and girls
on the public streets at an unseason-
able hour. Each head of the family
will see to that. The father Will be
home at a proper hour himself and
will make it his business to enforce
the local curfew ordinance with rigid
impartiality. I
If each home in the land were to
adopt this method and adhere to it
much would result and many a lad
who is likely to end in the peni-
tentiary under existing conditions
would grow up into a useful citizen.
1t will not do for parents to try to
shift their personal responsibility to
the shoulders of the state.
