POII's-''The Wolf"

Eugene Walters drama OF life in the
Canadian Northwest, The Wolf" is an
nounced as this weeks attraction at
Polls Theater. The play tells a story Of
life in the raw. 1t is built on a wrong
done a white girl In the Hudson Bay
country several years before the time Of
the play. The victim was a daughter of
Pierre Beaubien, French trapper. Jules
Beaubien, his son, and a step-brother of
the victim, journeys into the. north to
find the girl and give her protection.
In the first act Of the play Jules reaches
the cabin OF Andrew MacTavish, on the
bank of the Wind River. There he learns
that Annette has found a merciful death
in a driving snowstorm. Soon after his
arrival at the MacTavish home young
Beaubien discovers that William Mac
Donald, a contracting engineer. has ar
ranged a clandestine elopement with
Hilda MacTavish, daughter OF the owner
OF the cabin Jules pity for the girl and
his determination to protect her from
her fate soon ripen into love. The de-
velopment OF the story sets forth his
fight for the girl In the last scene, when
he is making his escape with her down
the Little Bear River, he discovers that
Macdonald is hot on this trail, and this
leads up to the smashing big scene of the
story. jules sends the girl ahead with a
guide and turns back to meet his enemy.

OF Pennsylvania is virtually an organ-
lZed army of 1000 officers and en-
listed men, thoroughly organized and
lully equipped. 1t is a training school
in which both officers and men are
taught obedience to authority. respect
for the flag, loyalty to our institutions
and a proper conception of the duties
OF citizenship. The readiness to serve
MS country in her hour of need brings
a man closer to and gives him a greater
respect for the things for which the
republic stands pre-eminent. The Ma
tional Guard of our State has for years
been considered by competent military
authority to be the best trained and
the most dependable force of citizen
soldiery in the United States.
In the war with Spain it was mo-
bilized n placed in camp at Mount
Gretna in thirty-siX hours, all depart

This work is all under the control and
direction of the adjutant generals de-

The State Police
The Department of State Police was
created by an act of the Legislature of
1905 and the State police force was or
ganized, uniformed. equipped and ready
for duty January !, 1906. The force
consists of s officers and 220 men, all
mounted. and is divided into four
troops with 2 officers and SIS enlisted
men in each. The creditable recordk

from judges, sheriffs, mayors, chiefs of
police and private citizens. Unfortu-

Is so limited the department was only
able to comply with about one-fifth OF
these requests. The force is always on

OF the greatest police force that we

blame the Highway Commissioner or
his department. The offense does not
lie at his door.
The tremendous importance of the
Department of Mines is only under
stood when we consider the magni-
tude of the coal industry in Pennsyl-
vania and realize that practically every
ounce of anthracite coal in the world
is mined in this State. The value of
the annual output of coal in this Com
m~onwealthN greatly exceeds the total
value of all copper, gold n silver
mined for the same period in the
United States. The copper output in
1911 amounted to $137, 900, 900; gold,
$97, 900; silver, $32, 500, 900, or a
total of s266, 00O, 900; while the total
output of coal from Pennsylvania had
a value of $35O,0O0,0 900 at the mines
and $7~50.000,000 at the points of dis
tribution.
The Department of Labor and In
dustry was created at the 1913 session
of the Legislature and the Department
of Factory Inspection abolished. This
new department, with extended pow
ers, is entrusted with the enforcement
of the large group of labor laws in
effect in the Commonwealth and more
particularly charged with the RESPONSE
bility of guarding the safety, health
and welfare of those who labor in the
industries and are promoting in such
way as may be feasible the prosperity
of the industries themselves. and while
1t has been in operation but one year
its splendid work has already more

The Business Barometer
But other departments of our States
government appeal more directly to
the business man of the city and per-
haps more strongly to you members of
the bar. The office of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, for instance,
which enjoys an annual appropriation
of but 5000, returns a ven from
fees and bonuses collected approx
mately 100000 per year; at least it
did return $T94.000 for 1913, although
so far in the present year the revenue
has been less han so per cent. of the
veal previous, and If the issuance of
charters m the increase of capital
stock is to be taken as a barometer of
business conditions the record in this
department for May, 1913, with re-
ceipts of $146,00 as against May,
1914. of only $4,000, may be illumi-
mating.
THE Insurance Department, oper-
ating under a new ode of laws. in
creased duties and larger scope of its
activities. has enhanced it's efficiency.
Nine hundred and ninety-six insurance
companies, of which number 62S are
in the fire insurance business, 81 in
life, ITO companies in casualty and 1T
assessment and fraternal companies do
business in this State. and all under
the supervision OF the department.
Under the new law the department
acts as receiver of all insolvent COM
panies, and at the present time has
charge of the liquidation of a score
or more of companies whose affairs
are being closed and distribution made
to claimants and stockholders, with no
unnecessary delay and at only a slight
expense in comparison with former re-
ceiverships. Through fees and taxes
collected the annual from
this office exceed 81. 750,0 600, while the
law and the splendid efficiency of the
department administering it alike are
satisfactory to both insurer and in
