SIX of the staple crops Of Pennsyf-

by the Bureau of Statistics of the
State Department OF Agriculture.
These crops included wheat, corn, rye,
oats, buckwheat and potatoes. Fig

stood second among the apple States
of the Union, and hay not being com

The corn was the most valuable
crop, 1.463,O0O acres yielding $500
900 bushels, valued at $45, 40, 500.
Wheat came next. 1,312,0OO acres

the three score or more of towns and
villages that felt the effects OF the
shocks.
Just how severely the Marsica dis
trict suffered in which AVeZzano is To-
Gated. is best told in q terse telegram
from Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop of the
Marsica region, sent to Pope Benedict
The telegram reads:
The Marsica diocese has been
transformed into a great cemetery
ANeZzano, Capelle and Palermo razed
and almost all inhabitants dead.
"A few villages in the diocese are
immune but generally desolation
reigns. 1t is an immense and distres-
sing catastrophe"
Pope Sends Reply
The Pope, in reply to this distressing
information wired the following:
Being the father of all the faith
iul, but first of the unfortunate, ] am
pierced with grief with this immense
misfortune.
81 extend my arms to my unhappy
children and am praying for peace for
the dead and comfort for the survi-
vors"

TO the Vatican. the Pope again visited
the patients there to comfort them.

queen mother Marguerite made the
rounds of the hospitals in Rome yes

numbers are arriving hourly.

district to-day or tomorrow. The am
hassauor has agreed with the mayor,

Americans to participate in the relief

individuals
The motor car with the staff from
the American embassy, visited the
earthquake district yesterday and wit
messed the work of rescue. They saw
some of the victims extricated alive
from the ruins and also visited the
camps where refugees are centered.

situation. The whole town is ruined
as every house is down and only three
stables remain Intact. Churches, pal
aces and dwellings, have crumbled to
the ground, What once were streets
are now full of debris to the height OF
six or seven feet.
within a short time the work OF
rescue will be useless as all those bur
led under the ruins will be dead. The
entire population is eXtinguished. the
people either being dead or wounded

The dead in the ruins compose the
greater percentage of the inhabitants.
over ten thousand were killed at
Avezzano alone, while the remainder
of the population, about one thousand
persons. are practically all injured.

and, nobody had any chance to run
out"
Colonel Dunn said that Avezzano
was. now provided with all kinds of
supplies and that the attention of re-
lief parties must be turned to the
smaller and less accessible villages.
The railway service is now running
regularly to the earthquake districts
and on their return each train is filled
with wounded. most of whom are be-
ing transported, to Rome where they
are being cared for in a most admir-
able manner. Prince Colonna, the
mayor, is doing all in his power for
the injured. He has been on his feet
for over fifty hours and is giving splen-
did example of tireless activity. The
ladies OF the aristocracy, including
some Americans by birth. have taken
their places. in the hospitals and are
helping to nurse the injured.

The Business of Overthrowiing.

Secretary Bryan. in a speech at Philadelphia
justihed his Mexican policy by the statement that
he found in the archives OF the State Department
read: Il have overthrow the government" This
is convincing evidence OF Mr.. Bryans conserva-
tlsm in dealing with government in Mexico. He
was not so conservative, however, in discussing
affairs at home. He boosted that the Democratic
administration had overthrown government by
Wall Street where, under Republican admnistra-
ton, less than 100 men in New York could give
the country prosperity panic" and with the
new currency law enacted by a Democratic Con-
gross, business could be done in the daylight with
out having to so to one financial center and on
your knees beg for relief. The Democrats had
also overthrown the old protective tariff, which
was made by its benefciaries, and written law
in the interest OF the whole people; and they had
ov crthrown the Suprtmc Court decision against
an income tax by writing it into the Constitution
so that the rich should be compelled to pay their
share OF government cost and relieve the poor man.
So when we read the whole speech wonder
why Secretary Bryan so much disturbed by
finding President Huerta's message laconically
stating that he had overthrown the government in
Mexico that had overthrown its predecessor and
reign of revolution There arc still
government policies which Mr.. Bryan expects to
overthrow, and after all he is something of
Samson at home, shaking the pillars of the temple.
Mr. Bryan and Huerta ought to shake hands and
make up.

Put a Stop to This Outrage.

District Commissioner Brownow has made
some surprising disclosures regarding the reckless
operation of automobiles in Washington His
statement that mot day goes by but that some
man of wealth and recklessness calls me up over
the telephone and asks ME to call down some
'officous cop who has arrested him for violation
of the traffic regulations" is calculated to arouse
the indignation of pedestrians. The Commissioner
is to be congratulated on his announcement that
hereafter he will "reuse to call off prosecution"
no matter how influential prominent his petit
toner may be. The revelation that in the past
there has been rule for the rich and influential
and another for the everyday citizen is serious
reflection on the District authorities. Even more
shocking is the Commissioners statement that one
man was arrested ten times in two weeks for driv-
ing an automobile while under the influence of
liquor. 1t is interesting to know that his license
was finally revoked, but why he should have been
permitted to endanger life ten times in two weeks

Answering a Fool Question"

In the latest edition of the Congressional Di-
rectory the Hon Miles Poindexter, of Washing
ton, describes himself as Progressive. He was
one of the earlier hyphenated Republicans, his
conversion to progressivsm having been recorded
in 1908, when he nominated for Congress as
a Progressive Republican Before his term as
Representative expired he won under the same
designation the popular Endorsement for Senator,
receiving 677I4 votes against 1886 divided among
four other contestants. In the last Congress
Senator Poindexter the only Progressive in
the Senate.
This brief story of the Washington statesman
later partisan adherence is of interest because he
has announced that he will be candidate for re-
election but that he will run, not as Progressive.
nor even as a Progressive Republican, but as a
Republican. He does not confess that he has
become reactionary; far from it, for he says:
"In order to save the progressive legislation of
the last year progressves must unite, and II they
do they will control the Republican primaries.
Mr.. Poindexter has succeeded in keeping him
self in public Office practically all the time for
twenty-three years. He is not an inexperienced
servant Of the people Indeed, he has shown cx:
ccllent judgment in measuring the sentiment OF
his neighbors; and his return to the Republican
fold is convincing answer to the query emphat-
ieaily characterized recently by Col. Roosevelt IS

Democrats generally will not take too seriously
the remarks OF Senator James Hamilton Lewis at
the dinner OF the National Democratic Club in
New York. To interpret Senator Lewis speech
as an announcement that President Wilson will
not be a candidate for second term is far from
reasonable, though in some quarters this sentence
has been construed president Woodrow
Wilson, if left to his own hearts emotion. would
tender up his Office after his duty had been full
filed content in the compensation OF his oonvic
ton that he had earned the approval of mankind
and the blessings of his God" Mr.. Lewis full
some orator, probably merely carried away
by his admiration for the President. In good
President Wilson may be depended upon
TO let his intentions be known, and the country
will be given big surprise if he does not seek
