Senator Heacock Presents Petition

on Subject.
Harrisburg.-Senator Heacock of
Montgomery county, at the request
of 593 petitioners residing in Phila-
delphia, Ogontz, Willow Grove,
Manayunk, Norristown and other
places in those sections, introduced
in the senate recently to bill per-
mitting fishing on Sunday. The bill
contains a few unusual whereases,
prepared by some one in the legisla-
tive reference bureau. In full the
proposed act is as follows:
Whereas, The day of rest, COM
monty called Sunday, was made for
man, and not man for Sunday; and
Whereas, Innocent recreation on
the day of rest Injuries on one, but
on the contrary conduces to better
physical and moral we'll being; and
Whereas, To man, tired by six
days of labor, the art of fishing af-
fords an opportunity of rest and re-
taxation and an acquaintance with
nature denied during the days OF
toll; and
Whereas, The span of human life
is short enough without making it
shorter by absurd laws that accom-
plish no material good but simply
tend to arouse resentment in those
not limited by selfish creeds and be-
liefs; therefore
Be it enacted, ETC., Section 1. 1t
shall be lawful to fish on the day
commonly called Sunday.

MRS. FRIEDEwALD's READING.

" Marlowe," the subject of Mrs.
Salo Friedewald's reading at the
High school last Saturday afternoon,
is a drama in five acts written by
Josephine Preston Peabody. This
noble tragedy is ranked with Ros-
tand's "Cyrano" and Stephen Phil
lips "Paolo and Francesca" because
of it's strength, imagination and
splendid diction.
The time of the drama is the early
Elizabethan of Christopher Marlowe,
the great predecessor of Shakespeare.
1t is said that Miss Peabody satur-
ated herself with the Elizabethan
spirit while in college, consequently
it is not surprising that the tragic
life of the wonderfully gifted, riot
Gus Exit" Marlowe stirred her dra-
matte instinct.
The first act begins with a CONVEX
sation in a London tavern between
companions of Kit" Marlowe who
are discussing his new play "Faus-
tus." During their conversation a
countryman from Canterbury and
his daughter Alison, beautiful
guileless girl come to the inn. Mar
lowe, who has in the meantime ar
rived, out of a spirit of adventure,
seeks the acquaintance of Alison
who is captivated by the polished
young Londoner and the newness of
everything. Marlowe sings to her
one of his beautiful lyrics and fairly
charms the girl, though her inno-
cence prevents even the hardened
Marlowe from carrying farther his
conquest. Alison lives in a dream
until she overhears a conversation
between her lover Gabriel and Mar
lowe, in which the poet laughs when
asked if he loves her. She is dis
covered and led away half fainting
by Gabriel and soon after returns to
Canterbury.
Later Marlowe is again at the inn.
Misfortune has come upon him be-
cause of his recklessness and he has
/ been dismissed from the Queen s
| Players" for atheism. Here Miss
| Peabody makes Marlowe speak with
| that longing that seems to have been
/ the strongest characteristic of his
wild nature and say, "If there is no
/ God, there should be-" He is reused
from his reveries by the entrance of
his friends who tell him of Alison's
marriage to Gabriel and taunt him
with being unable to win her. Half
drunken and disturbed of mind he
remembers that Alison caused him
| to feel one of his few good impulses
and thinking, as he says, she will
bring light to him again he goes to
Canterbury. Marlowe finds Alison
alone on Whitsun night and as she
comes down the stairs with the
candle held so that it lights her face
the pure saint-like beauty does
bring light to him. Alison talks
with him and he goes back to a tav-
ern where he is drawn into a brawl
and stabbed with his own dagger
Dying, his troubled spirit seems to
find the God he said there should be,
and he cries to him

FIRES AND FIRE PRECAUTIONS,

In our Fridays issue we published
an article in the editorial department
under the above heading. 1t had for
it's basic thought the fact that most
fires are caused by carelessness.
When people write articles like that
on any subject from farm economy
to rational religion, they are suppos-
ed to be free from the wrongs they
are trying to right.
Now listen!
Here was the experience of the
writer of that fire article almost be-
fore the paper that contained it was
published. Having duly retired to
his "virtuous couch" (if there is such
an institution), he soon was hob
nobbing with old Morpheus at a rate
that was calculated to beat the
band" so far as noise was concerned.
But bark! There is a call that dis
turbs the throbbing air of night!
Why don't folks have the toothache
in the day time when other folks are
awake?
Sure we'd get up and find the
Quicker Than Lightning Pain Ex-
peller! 1t was on the second row of
the book shelves behind the sitting
room stove-right along side the
pasteboard box of matches. The bot
tie was found, by the aid of the light
of a match, and the match, or what
remained of it after it had burned
our fingers, was tossed in a safe place
on the heavy linoleum that was un-
der the stove.
My, but it was comforting and
soothing to get back to bed and re-
sumo business with Mr.. Morpheus
where we had left off so reluctantly!
But there is a fly in the oint-
ment." An odor-quite faint-as
that of burning cloth, pervades the
air. A freshly lighted match can be
smelled all over your house at night,
and that must be what causes the
odor.
The smell of burning cloth grows
stronger, and it isn't so very particu-
lar whether that sleep engagement is
kept, after all. Somebody's head
that doesn't show bald or any other
color than dark arises from its pill
low, arching itself like that of the
6 battle that sniffeth the battle afar

the stairs where the smoke is like

ting room door is open, and the room
is full'of smoke. There in plain open

transported and maintained, while
those who enlisted from Pennsylva-
mia regiments and who are living out
side of the State shall be given trans
portation to and from Gettysburg and
the State line. Mr.. Allen, Allie
gheny, made a brief speech on the
measure urging it's adoption.
A bill abolishing all fees of Off
GERS of counties containing less than
10000 population and establishing
salaries according to population was
introduced into the House by Mr.. Ir-
win, Blair. 1t will affect over fifty
counties in the State.
Mr.. Grabe, Butler, introduced a
bill to levy a special tax of one mill
for road purposes on personal prop
erty, capital stock, bonds and gross
earnings, the money to be apportion-
ed among townships according to
mileage of public roads.
Concerted Action Looked For.
When the Philadelphia legislators
left for home Thursday afternoon
not to return until Wednesday even
ing, there was a suggestion that in
the intrim some plan of concerted
action upon bills directly affecting
the Quaker City may be agreed upon.
There are two sets of measures
commanding the attention of the law
makers from the Quaker City, those
regarded as purely political and 9TH
ers which have for their aim the up
building of the city and harbor of
Philadelphia, and the advancement
of the general welfare of the com
munity.
Criticism has been heard from
some of the Senators and Representa-
tives who are not in accord with the
Blankenburg administration politi-
cally, that the Mayor and some of his
directors are not helping their gener-
al bills for public improvements by
antagonizing friends of members of
both branches of the Legislature who
would be affected by bills which are
being urged by the Blankenburg ad-
ministration, among them being the
extension of civil service regulations
to county officers, the ripping out of
the present Councils and the substi-
tuition of a Council of fifteen for the
present body.
Lobbyists Must Stay Out.
Lobbyists got a jolt in the House
Thursday almost as severe as that
administered to them in the Senate a
few nights ago. The doors of the
Senate here since have been closed
against them.
An iron-clad rule now stands on
record in the House and if any lobby
ist gets within that chamber in the
future it will be because he has
been introduced by member.
The House adopted this rule:
"That beginning with the session
of March 5, 1918, admission to the
doors of the House of persons other
than those expressly entitled to the
door, under Rule 80, shall be only
by card or direction to the doorkeep-
ers from a member of the House."
In the past the doors have been
open and visitors walked into the
chamber, congregating in the space
in the rear of the members seats.
There was so much noise and con-
fusion that the legislators were
unable to follow the proceedings of
the House. A page will be assigned
to each doorkeeper and he will sum-
mon the member the visitor desires
to see.
