WEBB LIQUOR BILL
GOES THROUGH SENATE.

Washington.-The Senate Tuesday
passed the Webb liquor bill, already
passed by the House as a substitute
for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
The Webb bill would prohibit
shipments of intoxicating liquors
from one State to another when in
tended to be received or sold in vio-
lation of the law of the State to
which the shipment is made.
Friends of the legislation now will
seek to have the House concur in the
Senate bill, which differs from the
bill passed by the House only in
number. Should that be done the
bills will not be considered in con-
ference, but the bill passed by the
Senate will go to the President for
his signature.
The substitution of the Webb bill
for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill came
at the close of prolonged debate, and
was by viva voce vote, no roll call be-
ing demanded.
Senator Sheppard during the day
had failed to get unanimous consent
for the substitution of the Webb bill
for the bill which he was a joint
author. Senator Kenyon, co-author
of the Senate bill, closed the debate
by asking that the Webb bill be sub
stituted, as the order of the day did
not permit the voting on the Webb
bill as an independent measure.

HARRISBURG LETTER

harrisburg, Feb. 13.-It is eX-
pected that material progress will be
made during the present week with
the progressive program outlined by
Governor Tener in his message to
the Legislature. The session is now
in its fifth week and it is earnestly
hoped by those who have come here
to attend to the business of the peo-
pie that the posturing stage has
passed, and that the period of getting
down to brass tacks on the big bust
ness is at hand.
The general shake-up at the or
ganization of the Legislature result
ed in such a speeding up of ordinary
legislation that it would be possible
to predict very early adjournment
if it were not for the fact that on
this big business a great deal of time
has been wasted merely because
there was general curiosity as to
what the stage managers of the vari-
GUS political shows had to offer. So
far as can be ascertained at this
writing all the scheduled "stunts"
have been pulled off. And it is
worthy of remark that all of it was
so timed that be he Bull Moose,
Democrat or regular Republican,
every Pennsylvania voter was af-
forded a brief moment in which he
might, if he cared a darn about it,
feel that his influence was being felt
in the halls of the Legislature. The
way in which the parties respected
the rights of each other in this little
matter was truly touching.
Speaker Alter, who, by the way,
is making a most admirable presid-
ing officer of the House, has gone on
record as being opposed to setting
a date for adjournment of the Leg
islature until some idea can be had
of how much time it will take to
discharge the duties before the body.
He is opposed to a drawn out ses-
sion and he is doing all he can to

1.-THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN

The next attraction at the Lyric
will be "The Travelling Salesman"
by James Forbes, author of "The
Chorus Lady," and "The Commu-
ters." THE Travelling Salesman"
comes to the Lyric for a return
engagement. The play is a comedy
drama written around the life and
characteristics of the American
drummer" and so truly has the au-
thor drawn his characters that the
United Travelling Mems Association
has endorsed the play, it is said
The action begins at Grand Crossing,
Western City, on Christmas Day.
Bob Blake" a drummer, is disgust
ed with the town and he goes to
the depot to find out when the next
train leaves. He meets Beth Elliott, +"
the agent and operator. She asks
where he wants to go and he says
back; then he tries to get friend
ly and Beth reminds him that he is
stranger. 81 can remedy that"
he replies, but Beth turns to receive
a message and Blake realizes that
she is not one to be trifled with. The
message is for Blake, making an ap-
pointment, and Blake instructs Beth
to answer the sender and say that
he will wait for him at Grand Cross
ing.
Blake remembers he is hungry;
that it is Christmas and makes in
quiries as to the nearest restaurant.
Something about him appeals to
Beth, and after awhile they get a
little better acquainted. She eX-
tends an invitation to eat dinner
with her. She brings out a basket
and they sit down on a bench to a
buffet lunch" as he calls it. Beth
hands him a turkey sandwich which
is almost invisible. Aren't they
wearing the bread thin in sand
wiches this year?" he remarks as
they settle down to jolly feast, and
it isn't long before Beth learns that
he is drummer travelling for a firm
that is represented in Grand Cross
ing by Franklin Royce, an admirer
of Beth's.
This is a first-class production and
you should secure your seat early.

Rev. John O'Toole took for his
text at Wednesday nights Lenten
services these words from Abraham
Lincoln: And with Gods help l
shall not fail"
The scope of his talk was along
these lines: That Lincoln freed the
slaves of the South and his Divine
Master freed the slaves of Satan and
as Lincoln was born amid poverty
and suffering so his Master came in
to- the world in poverty and priva-
tions. AS Lincoln said, with Gods
help l shall not fail" so every Chris
tian who wishes to succeed and con-
quer may find inspiration and hope
in this immortal sentence. He brief
ly sketched the life of Lincoln and
summed it up in these words:
When Lincoln was elected to Con-
gress the editor of the Congressional
Record sent him a blank to be filled
out with facts and dates which might
be made the basis for biographical
sketch in the directory. Mr.. Lin
coins blank was returned promptly,

tension. The Chautauqua, however,
is more comprehensive in its pur-
pose, aiming to enlist the interest of
the people, young and old; those
who like magic and moving pictures,
as well as those who want to hear
great orators discuss the problems
of the day.
The educational aspect of the plan
is avowedly popular; nevertheless,
the Chautauqua is expected to broad
en- the outlook of the small town, to
heighten the interest in the great So
cial questions of the time and to
deepen the desire for music and en-
tertainment of the first grade.
The business men of Honesdale
have been urged to attend the meet
ing to be held Tuesday evening, Feb.
25, to hear DR.. Turner speak on the
methods of doing business empolyed
by the Chautauqua and the lasting
benefits derived therefrom.

LACK OF PUBLIC SALES INDICA-
TION OF PROSPERITY.

Travelling through the country
hereabouts these days, the fact be-
comes apparent that prosperity is
abroad and that the farmer is happy
and contented. One of the best in
dexes of farmers business conditions
hereabouts always appears in the
number of public sales that are held
in the spring time. When times are
when prices are low the country ho-
tel and general store are literally
papered with the sale bills of estates
and of those who have decided to
quit farming. To-day one can visit
those same places and find but few
bills hung up. Those that do ap-
pear are for the most part those of
estates that have to be settled up or
of farmers who are retiring because
of old age or for some other good
reason, other than poor business con-
ditions.
1t is always a sad commentary on
farm life to see large number of
public sales. After a man has for
years struggled and toiled to amass
the stock that is required to run a
farm it is real tragedy of life to
see that effort of years dispersed to
all the points of the compass, often
at ridiculously low prices. Locked
up in that stock are years of thought
and toll, often of sacrifice by the
man and of his family. Often at
just the time that farming would be-
come a real joy and profit sales are
held and the efforts of years dis
sipated.
Consequently when there are a
few such sales and their lack is due
to prosperous conditions there is
general cause for qualification. A
happy and prosperous farming COM
munity means a happy and prosper
Gus nation.

expedite the work, but on the other
hand he said last week in an inter-
view that this Legislature was
elected by the people with the idea
of having some beneficial laws pass
ed, and while | do not want any pro-
longed session, l do not favor any
adjournment date being set until we
know just what has to be done"
This is taken to mean that the way
is wide open but that those who
want legislation must get down to
business in earnest at once.
In spite of the fact that there is a
great deal of practical politics in the
air they get along together famously
at both ends of the Capitol In the
Senate that is to be expected, for
Senatorial courtesy is as much of a
fetish there as it is in the august
upper chamber in Washington. But
even in the House, now that the
rough edge has been worn off, they
are warming up to each other ire
spective of politics and a great deal
of attention was paid to Henry E.
Lanius, the blind member from York
county last week when he made his
maiden speech, which happened to
be in favor Of the equal suffrage
amendment resolution. Lanius is
now a farmer and a good one, but
before that he was a skilled steel
worker, in which trade he lost his
sight and previous to his career in
the steel mills he was a newspaper
man. During the newspaper period
of his life he was a correspondent
with troops engaged in our brief and
not altogether glorious war with
Spain. Naturally in spite of the linn
itation that blindness puts upon him,
Representative Lanius is a most in
teresting person and is making many
friends. He sits about half way
down on the Democratic side of the
House and no one is better informed
as to the progress of legislation than
he is.
Senator Boies Penrose was the
big speaker at the Lincoln Day din
ner of the Young Mems Republican
Club at Williamsport Wednesday,
The Senator accepted the invitation
some days ago and the fact has at
tracted much attention. Other
guests were State Treasurer-elect R.
X. Young and Auditor General-elect
A. w. Powell, together with Senator
e. r. Beidleman, who spoke for the
young Republicans.
Senator William G. Sproul, of Del
aware, is quoted in Philadelphia as
saying that he expects the Legisla-
ture to pass good, safe and sane re-
form legislation without hysteria.

The lesson to be drawn from all
that was said was this: No country
can last whose citizens do not be-
lieve in God and the moral law. A
nation of atheists has never existed
for the simple reason that it would
be impossible for such a nation to
band together even by a social con-
tract. If a man will not obey the
moral law what law will he respect?
If man does not believe in God in
what does he believe?

State Would Pay Half Sewer.
Bills of Statewide Importance
were introduced Tuesday by Senator
Beidleman. One provides that when
the State Health Department orders
a city, borough or municipality to
construct or rebuild a sewer system
the State shall pay half of the cost,
The bill is retroactive and was so
framed to assist municipalities al
ready laboring under burden of debt
contracted in accordance with State
Health Department mandates. An
appropriation of $250,000 is provid-
ed for the two fiscal years, commenc-
ing June next, and the money is
to be paid at the direction of the
Governor, Attorney General and Aud
itor General. By State law the
Health Department is authorized to
compel cities and boroughs to
build sewer systems no matter what
the financial condition of the COM
munity may be, Harrisburg would
come under the provisions of the
act, not only in the matter of sewers
already in course of construction in
compliance with State orders, but for
all additions or renewals thereof, as
the measure provides in this man
ner for expenses of the future.
Important Tax Bills.
Another important bill provides
that all bonds or other Indebtedness
of counties, cities or boroughs shall
be exempt from taxation so far as
the cities, boroughs or counties are
concerned. At present all such
bonds are subject to a State tax.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of securities would be affect
ed
A second tax bill presented by
Senator Beidleman provides that
real estate of all street railways, rail-
roads, water, gas, telegraph and
electric light, heat and power COM
panies and all other like public SER
vice corporations held or used for
corporate purposes or otherwise
shall be subject to taxation for
county, city and borough purposes.
All such property is now exempt
from taxation and there are scores
of millions of dollars worth of it in
every county.
Explain Workers Claims.
The proposed legislation relative
to workmen's compensation was ex-
planned to the Judiciary General
Committee of the House Tuesday
night by Chairman d. A. Reed and
Secretary Francis H. Bohlen, of the
State Industrial Accidents Commis-
sion.

was made that public hearing at 8
