BITTER FIGHT

LAWS AND MINIMUM WAGE AND
HOURS OF LABOR BITTERLY OP-
POSED IN PENNSYLVANIA LEG

FRIENDS AND FOES OF PROPOSED
LAWS GATHER IN GREAT NUN
BEERS IN STATE CAPITAL TO
DAY

Harrisburg. Penn, May IA bit
ter fight against the proposed laws to
regulate the conditions and hours of
labor of women and children in Penn
aNlyania by manufacturers and their
representatives opened here this after
noon when the hearings on this bill and
me bill to establish Il minimum wage
commission opened at the state house.
licnGs aud foes of the proposed law were
here today in great numbers, as these
hearings are admitted by both sides to
be the crucial test put to the legislature
TO show whether that body will place
itself on record as progressive along
these lines. The hearing was scheduled
before the special judiciary committee
OF the senate. The ONE and child lab
or bills were drafted by the legislative
committee of the republican State con
ycntion and it was believed by many
that they will be favorably acted on.
Members of the Progressive party and
certain avowcdly progressive democrats
are strongly in favor of the establish
ment of The proposed minimum wage
commission The majority of the legislat-
ors, are thought to be opposed to it.
Among those who advocate the pas
sage Of ali three measures today were:
Henry q. WATSON. of Pittsburgh. chair
pan Of the Republican State Convention:
William Draper Lewis. dean of the Uni
v~crsity of Pennsylvania Law School;
Charles Chute, Of Philadelphia, secretary
Of the Pennsylvania Child Labor As
ISOLATION, and representatives of sim
liar organizations in New York, Mich
can Ohio, and Illinois.

REINSTATE FORT BROWN.

The Wilson administration has inner
tied none of the prejudices of the Roose-
Welt and Taft administrations, and il is
assuredly not bound to perpetuate any,
of the fOllies that grew out of those pre-
JUDGES.
The folly of abandoning the post at
Fort Brown is a case in point. Elk
periences since the beginning of the
present troubles in Mexico should open
the ewes of the government to the fact
that the abandonment of this post was a
piece Of u~nmitigated fOolishness.
No sane man who has observed the
course Of events since the BEGINNING of
the Madero revolution, has the right to
saw that the time is at hand when there
will be peace in Mexico, or that the Dor
der, from the Gulf to California to
Brownsville will not need protection.
Surely it requires no particular knowl-
edge of strategy to perceive that Browns
vile should never have been abandoned
by the war department.
It's position in this part of the Rio
Grande is important. Taylor and bis
government thought it important when
they selected the site of old Fort Brown.
1t seemed to them that this was a stra-
tegic point. 1t is important because
Matamoros is a most important city in
the republic of Mexico. 1t requires no
prophetic gifts to perceive that its i'm
pOrtance will increase with the develop
ment of trade between this valley and
Mexico, and with the development Of that
exceedingly rich part of Mexico in which
Matamoros stands. The city will nee
e~ssarily be a bone of contention, sooner
or later, between the armies struggling
for supremacy in that country. So far it
has escaped but no one had the right
to expect immunity for it in the long run.
Al this moment the storm clouds are
lowering over it, and the tempest will
burst sooner or later.
Yet, aside from all question of STRAIT
egy, it is now the avOwed policy of any
government to bring large bodies of
troops together in the interest Of econ
omy, discipline, and health. For such
purposes Fort Brown would be ideal. The
ground is high. easily drained, and ample
for the encampment of thousands of
men. In view of the governments needs
at this time, for carrying out of its pro
gramme, it is a shame that the costly i'm
provcments in Fort Brown should have
been left to fall to ruin. If the Fort had
beer kept up as a military post there
would * no occasion for the soldiers to
be wallow;rg in the mud and wading The
lakes of rain water in the neighbOrhoOd
of Texas City. They might have had a
dry, healthful encampment on the Fort
Brown reservation. ~.
We are hoping that no occasion will
ever arise for IN army of the United
States to invade Mexico, but the pres

These are days of rumors. They fol
low fast upon each others heels. Some
of them seem reliable others are absurd
on the face of them. If the accounts OF
the doings of the contending parties be
yond the river as they appear in the pa
pers shall be found to be inaccurate. it
is hardly to be avoided. The Herald adj
mits nothing to its columns that it has
not tried to verify. though the vertical
ton is no easy task. The editorial task
is to sift the chaff from the wheat as
well as possible, and give the stories that
seem to be best authenticated. The Her
aid boasts of no peculiar misinformatlOn
on the subject of Mexican affairs at this
moment. So far as can be discovered
neither side has "annihilated' the other.
to date. The Herald is doing everything
that a newspaper can do to give the news
of the present Mexican trouble first hand
ed. A special correspondent is stationed
in MatamorOs and whatever happens at
this point The Herald viii be the first
to get the authentic news. The Herald
also has two correspondents up the Val
ley at different points. The Herald has
been alive to the situation.

l25, 900 People Annually Attend
the Haeerstown Fair.

The Hagerstown Fair Association IS
busy these days planning for the 5oth
annual exhibition to be held Oct. ILL.,
The officers and directors are determln-
ed that the coming fair shall eclipse all
previous fairs and to this end no ex-
pense will be spared in providing IN
structive exhibits and amusements.
The large attendance at the Hagers-
town Fair each year is proof OF its
popularity. In the past few years
about 125, 900 people have attended each
exhibition. The railroad facilities are
excellent and the great bulk of the
people come by the steam roads, four
OF which enter the town. The network
of electric lines in Washington and adj
joining counties afford unequalled faci-
lities for thousands who yearly go to
the fair by trolley. The automobile
carries its quote and on ''big days" OF
the Fair hundreds of buggies and car
riages destined for Hagerstown can be
seen on the many excellent roads lead
ing to the city of the Great Fair.
Ample provision is made on the Fair
Grounds for parking automobiles and
carriages,

HJunior" Brown For Governor.

Congressman w. G. Uunioy9 Brown,
the Democratic representative of the
Second West Virginia district. is candi-
date for the governship nomination next
time" says Charles Brooks Smith, the
Washington correspondent.
''There is no false modesty about him;
he bluntly and frankly admits it. He
would like to be his partys choice to
carry the banner in the next West Vir-
ginia campaign. Not only does he say
that he would like to be that, but he is al
ready working along lines calculated to
influence the party around to that way
of thinking.
| Brown feigns neither embarrassed
modestv nor maidenly bushes when the
subject is brought up before him. 1t It
is in a party worth while, and nobody
else happens to shunt the line OF tax
along IN that channel. Brown does II
himself. 1t is altogether unusual, this
omen. frank wav that Brown has about
promoting his ambition and not at all in
harmony with the usual feigned pleased
shvness and customary buncombe with
| which a prospective candidate Stimulates
surprise over the sight of something that
he himself has carefully and palustaklng-
| ~ created. So, when Brow Il sees that
the trend of conversation IS in the direc-
ton of him leading tue Democratic hosts
of West Virginia in the state campaign
of 1916, he displays no signs of startled
surprise, nor any indication that hefeels
-"Oh. this is so sudden for the very
good and sufficient reason that Brown
found that he had an ambition in that
selfsame direction, and started the thing
going in his own direction in his own be-
half. Such frankness and such honesty
well, It is out of the ordinary in poll
tics as she is played. to say the least.
Congressman Brown has an ambition
to be governor of his native state. 1t Is
his one great ambition, and he pleads
quiltv TO il. He sees nothing wrong IL
aspiring, and that is precisely what he is
doug. Being fairly wise and saplent
polite an he figures that now IS the time
to aspire. and not after somebody else
has aspred aud got the inside track. He
approves the fable OF the early bird, and
he evidently takes scaut stock IN the fate
of the early worm. Any way, and at any
rate Brown is out TO land the Democrat
ic nomination for governor next time and
he has got good start"

From the Winchester Star of August %
Among the out-of-town people who
attended the formal opening OF the

were published by Governor Holiday
for distribution among bismost intimate
friends and the edition was limited.
For a number of years there has been an
increasing desire upon the part OF many
people to read Governor Holidays
books, and now that they are in the Ii
brary 1t is quite likely the Volumes he
penned will be read by all who enjoy
that class of literature The books re
very useful and instructive. and the de.
scriptions of foreign countries and PEG
pies are of absorbing interest.
Colonel Gibson gave the library two
rare and ancient volumes, being The
Travels and Adventures of Capt John

of bays. rivers and creeks, and the native
tribes, kings and towns. The book deal
