ed upon, many of the voters either
forget or willfully neglect to vote up
on these questions. Sometimes only a
small percentage of the men who
actually enter the booths pass upon
and decide matters that are of the ut
most Importance to the whole people.
On questions such as equal suffrage,
the smaller the vote is the greater the
likelihood of defeat.
And if the voters negative the suf-
frage movement in November, it is
highly probable that it will come to a
stop in this State for at least ten years,
which makes it important that a real
expression of opinion be obtained now.
Section 1 of Article IS of the con-
stitution provides that no amendment
shall be submitted oftener than once
in five years. 1t is not to be expected,
however, that the Legislature would
take serious interest until some time
had elapsed after a defeat at the polls.
The earliest possible time for a re-
vote would be 1921, but in the event of
defeat now it's friends would be for
tunate if they succeeded in bringing it
back to that stage before 1925.

sLECTRIFYING THE RAILROADS

~
u electrification of the main line
~ of the Pennsylvania railroad
between Bryn Mawr and Phila-
delphia will be completed and put
into operation. This event will mark
the beginning of the end of steam as
a motive power on the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. The application of
electricity to both freight and pas
senger traffic from one end of the
mainline to the other is only matter
of time.
Governor Brumbaugh touched upon
a subject of tremendous importance
when in his inaugural address he
called attention to the necessity of
State regulation of the water resources
of the Commonwealth. Already tho
Pennsylvania Railroad controls vast
sources of water power along it's main
line, and the streams along which the
engineers who laid out the system ran
the tracks because the valleys of the
waterways afforded the natural and
easiest grades, will be called upon in
the near future to provide electrical
current for the operation of trains.
The time will come when the Smoke
nuisance" will be entirely eliminated
and when there will be witnessed
the remarkable accomplishment of
current drawn from one wire with
which to speed great trains from one
end of the State to the other, to light
the signal lamps, to ring the bells, to
make the whistles shrek their warn
ings, to heat the coaches in winter, to
cool them in summer, to provide heat
for the chefs of the dining cars, to
apply the brakes and to meet a dozen
other uses not now apparent.

TROUT FISHERMEN
 NOT OPTIMISTIC AT
 SEASONS OPENING
Dry Season and Low Temper ature Are Against Big
 Catches Right Now.

The annual descent upon the trout streams of Fairfield county and vicinity will neither be enthusiastic nor successful, according to the prognostications of those familiar with the fish situation. The trout season opens today in a rather in suspicious manner.
 In the first place its too cold for good fishing and in the second place the streams are too low. The present dry season and the dry. autumn have conspired to keep the trout streams very low. It is expected there will be little fishing. although a few dyed-in-the-wool trouters started out as usual.
 The State Fish and Game commits sion has put out about 4,50O, ,0OO lingering but the trout will not be- large enough this year for fishing Most of them were between three and five inches .ek
 Next year however, it is expected the fishing will be excellent. Pro- vfded an unusually dry season Is not experienced, the streams should give up many of their succu1ent denizens next spring.
