GOOD ROADS.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 12.-Ap-
proval of the general appropriation
bill with it's items for construction
and maintenance of State roads,
which is expected from the Cover
nor's hands the latter part of this
week, will be followed by consider
able activity on the part of the State
Highway Department in various Sec
tions of the State. Estimates have
been prepared by engineers of the
Department on a dozen or more
pieces of State highway and on as
many other roads on which State
aid has been asked by the counties.
The plan is to receive bids for this
during the summer and let the con-
tracts so that operations may begin
early in the fall.
The Highway Department will also
undertake considerable repair work
with its own men, and take steps to
perfect it's maintenance system
troughout the State. Failure of the
Legislature to pass the general ap-
preparation bill until the closing
night of the session has held up all
funds since June 1st, and conse-
quently no new work could be un-
dertaken, although numerous re-
quests have been received for the
rebuilding of roads, especially those
of the State-aid variety.
Under the terms of the general ap-
preparation bill, funds are provided
for reconstruction of main State
highways, State-aid road building,
maintenance and repair work on
main and State-aid roads, all to be
taken out of the general State rev.
enues. The unsatisfactory nature of
| this method of financing the great
| road building program is we'll illus
| trated in the fact that the Legisla-
ture has appropriated S0,000,000
| out of these revenues, whereas the
revenues themselves will amount to
| only $62,000,000 for the two years
covered by these appropriations. AS
result, the Governor must cut $27,-
| 100000 out of the appropriations
and the road appropriations may
have to be reduced along with those
for various other public works and
charities.
If the people in November will
ratify the 50,000,000 bond issue
ample funds will be provided fol
carrying on the reconstruction oi
the highways of Pennsylvania, indie
pendent of the regular revenue an6
therefore not subject to the condi
| tions that now threaten the road ap
preparations for the next two years
The Pennsylvania Motor Federation
which is advocating the bond issue
as the best means of providing mon
ey for road building, is planning tC
start an energetic campaign in be
| half of the bond amendment. This
campaign will open early in the fall
and will be pushed vigorously in al
parts of the State, including pub
lie meetings and the circulation o.
educational literature.

Pennsylvania Democrats In Wild
Scramble For Office With Leader
ship Imperiled.
Washington, D. c., July 13.-The
squabble for Federal patronage in
Pennsylvania is to be settled immed-
lately following the meeting of the
State Central Committee in Harris
burg, on July 23. This is the word
being passed to the various Demo-
cratic county leaders by National
Committeeman. A Mitchell Palmer
is the official dispenser of favors, so
far as Pennsylvania is concerned.
The pressure being brought to in
fluence Palmer for this or that candi-
date who is seeking recognition has
become so great that the boss of the
reorganized Democracy was forced
to make his henchmen a definite
promise that matters would be set
tied finally following the Harrisburg
gathering.
The fact is that the big jobs in
Western Pennsylvania have been dis
posed of, but Palmer wanting to
make certain of his control of the
State Central Committee refuses to
make public the names of those he
has recommended. He wants to
keep in line those who are inclined
to jump the organization traces and
get back with the Guffey element in
the party. Premature announce
ment, Palmer and his friends fear,
would encourage insurgency and
possibly embarrass them at Harris
burg ten days hence.
The purpose of the Harrisburg
gathering is the election of a new
State chairman to succeed George
w. Guthrie, of Pittsburg, now on his
way to Japan as American Ambas-
sador, while Palmer refuses to make
known his choice, it is understood he
would be pleased to see the chair
manship go to Roland S. Morris, of
Philadelphia. His second choice is
Joseph H. O'Brien, of Scranton.
James l. Blakslee, of Mauch Chunk,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al, has not relinquished his place as
Secretary of the State Committee,
and continues to help direct the
Democratic forces in the Keystone
State, while drawing salary from the
government. He has made no an
nouncement that he intends to re-
tire and devote all Of his time to the
postoffice department. Blakslee will
be made an issue by Palmer's politi-
cal opponents and it is said if he
shows no disposition to retire they
will insist that he give way to an
other.
Whether Palmer, with a fine line
of patronage back of him, can die
tate the selection of the next State
chairman, remains to be seen. Signs
of trouble are seen in many of the
counties in the western end of the
State. Clearfield is the most recent
place to repudiate the present leader
ship. The adherents of Palmer and
his ally, Vance c. Mccormick, were
put to rout last week when their
candidate for the county chairman
ship, j. F. Weaver, was defeated by
w. A. Haggerty by a vote of &C to
6. The distribution of postoffices in
the county is said to have been dis
pleasing to the followers of Hag-
gerty, who proceeded to assert their
political strength by defeating the
organizations choice for the chair
manship.

HONESDALE PARTY SPRUNG
AXLE IN PIKE COUNTY

While motoring through Blooming
Grove, Pike county, on Sunday, a
Honesdale party composed of Will
liam Brady, chauffeur, Henry Ting
ley, George Lees and Walter O'Con-
nell, met with an accident. The
Honesdale car crowded to one side
to allow another machine to pass and
in doing so the left fore wheel went
over a culvert which gave way un-
der the weight of the car. This al
lowed the wheel to drop and in doing
so it came in contact with a small
boulder, which bent the axle. I'm
able to repair the car, the party tele-
phoned to Honesdale for aid.

HONESDALE TAKES THIRD OF
SERIES FROM CARBONDALE

The "Jinx' left the Honesdale
team with the return of Buck
Faatz and Honesdale easily defeated
Carbondale on Sunday at White
Mills-score, to 1.
Pitcher Loll was never in better
form. He allowed but four hits, two
of which were of the scratch va
riety, and struck out ten men. He
was well received by Jacobs, who
caught his first game of the season;
his throwing was little off color,
however, as it was a wild throw of
his in the first inning to catch Walk
er at second, after he had walked
(true to his name) and stole Loll
was never in danger at any other
stage of the game.
Honesdale scored two in the first
inning. Lily was given a base on
balls, Tarkett was safe on an error
by Walker, and both scored when
Mangan singled, and catcher Fee let
the throw in from the outfield get by
him. We scored again in the third
on Lily's single and Tarkett's two
Dagger. In the fifth Loll hit for one
base, and after Weaver sacrificed
came home on Lily's single.
Carbondale and Honesdale played
four and one-half innings on Satur-
day, the game being called on ac-
count Of rain. The score was to 8
in favor of Carbondale, When the
game stopped, but as innings were
not played it will not count in the
| series which now stands Honesdale
| two games to Carbondale one.

game follows:

A TRIP TO PORT HURON AND
DETROIT.

On July 7th a party of As or so
ladies, enthusiastic members of the
Ladies of The Maccabees assembled
in Buffalo, coming from all parts of
Pennsylvania, for trip over the
Great Lakes and a visit to the mag
nificent headquarters of the Order
located in Port Huron.
This delightful trip at this season
will be a source of great pleasure
to those enjoying this privilege. The
members located in different parts of
the state can form no adequate idea
of the magnitude and beauty of our
work until they have paid a visit to
the Maccabee Temple situated in the
beautiful city of Port Huron.
The artistic beauty of the Temple
and its various departments appeal
to every lover of art and the metho-
dical work of the many employees is
marvellous. At the head of this mag
nificent system and directing with
great ability every item of the work
is the admirable Supreme Command
er, Miss Bina M. West, whose his
tory in connection with the Order
reads like a romance.
Her successful leadership is an
inspiration and her beautiful per-
sonality endears her to every mem
Der of the Order The loving re-
spect and esteem of all employed in
the Supreme Office is a direct and
beautiful tribute to her worth as a
leader. This trip to Port Huron will
be a memorable one to those taking
it and must result in renewed en-
thusiasm and confidence in our great
Order for women unequaled and un.
paralleled in the history of women's
associations, having as it does the
protection and perpetuation of the
home as its object.

and most of the other newspapers in
the state that own themselves and
can express honest opinions have
printed editorial endorsements of
the work that was accomplished.
Some of them, however, take occa-
sion to condemn the dilatoriness of
the body and the disposition to sacri-
fee the best interests of the people
for partisan advantage which they
declare was one of the weaknesses of
the session.
Flinnites Opposed Eugenic
Marriage Bill.
There was such a whirlwind finish
and there was so much attention
paid to a few big bills that no really
adequate list has yet been made of
the progressive legislation that was
passed. Some of the most important
of it never entered into the calcula-
tions of the Finn political managers
and throughout the entire course
of the session was not noticed by the
battery of bureaus and boards OF
control that were maintained here
and which if not directly financed by
the Pittsburg near-boss at least al
ways were at the beck and call of his
lieutenants. Among this class OF
legislation are the bills changing the
methods of taxing wood land. These
bills have the endorsement of no less
a Bull Mooser than Clifford Pinchot
Another progressive bill that the
Finn people refrained from boosting
effectively is the bill which provides
that marriage licenses shall be
granted only to those who are willing
to make afidavit that they are ply,
sically fit. A New York newspaper
has described this as being the frs
eugenic marriage bill to be enacted
] in this country.
