Doubtless the legislative mind, like
many another. must skid at times.
Foolish legislation is foolish, of
course, but not frequent, and may be
regarded as an excusable spree upon
the part of the Legislators to relieve
the monotony of caring for the public
welfare. Recently the New York legis-
lature passed a law providing for
policewomen in New York. Police
women, such as the bill provided for,
were as unwanted as they were un-
wonted in that city; nobody knew what
to do with them. From the news ac-
counts It appeared that the legislators
themselves knew as little as anyone
what a policewoman was or why she
was created. 1t was legislative skid.
It might be we'll to remark about here
in a cautionary spirit that seemingly
freak" bills sometimes turn out upon
investigation to owe much to news
paper imagination that has distorted a
useful measure into q scream" The
E Paso (TeXas) Times enumerates

lative folly in its own and other States:

catching of frogs.

WHEN THE NEWSPAPER SCORES
[From Editor and Publlsherl

fIOIll bullOT anu
The service that the newspapers
render the public was never more ap-
parent than during the past week in
reporting the sinking of the Lusita-
MIA by a German submarine. The tor
pedo had hardly exploded against her
hull before the news was flashed by
wireless to land and then under the
sea to the newspapers of all countries.
1t was from the newspapers that
New York received the first intelli-
gence of the disaster; it was in them
that they saw accurate lists of those
who were lost and those who were
saved The offices of the steamship
company were besieged day and night
for details that were finally secured
from the newspapers. The way the
great story was handled reflected the
highest credit on the enterprise of
the news associations and the special
correspondents whose activities dur
ing the days following the sinking of
the LUSH mia knew no cessation.
To the casual observer 1t seems
marvellous that so much accurate
news could be assembled in so short
a time. Whole pages of pictures, in
terviews with passengers and mem
bers of the crew, and descriptive
matter we're published within day
after the destruction of the ship. The
story as it finally appeared, was COM
plete, not a link was missing.
It is the organization that counts
in such emergencies. Every big press
association or newspaper is represent
ed by correspondents everywhere.
These keep in touch with their en-
ployers by mail, by telegraph and by
telephone. They are the antennae of
the great news getting system whose
arms or branches spread out over
the habitable globe. When anything
of Importance happens-no matter
where-a trained correspondent or re-
porter is present to record 1t. There
is no delay. The electric current car
ries the message thousands of miles
and delivers it to millions of intelli-
gent readers. Yesterday 1t was the
great earthquake at Martinique, the
mattle of Ypres. or the destruction of
the Eusitania. To-day 1t is the sem
sational tumbling of stocks in Wall
Street, the resentencing of Frank at
Atlanta and the visit of the naval
fleet to New York. Tomorrow
Whatever may happen, we may rest
assured that the Argus-eyed press
will record it for the benefit of man
kind.

HOW GENERAL WASHINGTON
LOST n TURKEY DINNER

Interesting story from Bedford, told
at meeting of the Sons of the ReVo-
luton, which is endeavoring to pur-
chase the building in Pitt street which
was occupied by General Washington
on his visit to Bedford during the
Whisky Rebellion. which has since
been known locally as Washington
Headquarters" from the Mowery heirs.
with the intention of turning it into
museum.
An interesting story is told Of the
visit of Washington at the above place,
which was then the home OF David
Espy, whose guest the General was.
At that time the office of the first pro-
thonotary, Arthur st. Clair, occupied
the basement of the building, with the
living rooms of the Espy family above.
An elaborate dinner had been prepared
for the distinguished guest, the prin-
cipal dish being wild turkey. Several
thousand soldiers were encamped on
the public square, guards surrounded
the house (Which stands on the cor
ner of an alley) and cavalrymen pa
trolled the streets. Preparations Tor
the dinner were completed and the
guests had gathered around the board
awaiting the turkey. AS one OF the
good women of the household was
passing into the dining room mounted
soldier leaned through window and'
transfixing the fowl with his bayonet,
left the astonished lady with the empty
platter in her hands and was out or
sight before an alarm could be given.
In great distress she fastened to ap-
prise the waiting guests Of the calamity
and was assured by the great man IN
his kindly manner that although the
loss was irreparable she was blameler-
and he would, nevertheless, enjoy hi.

few of the select" greatly enjoyed

EXCELLENT SELECTIONS

\ MONG the nominations sent to
~ the Senate in the closing hour
and confirmed were those of
W. H. Smith, State Banking Commits
sioner, Samuel B. Rambo. superin-
tendent of Grounds and Buildings:
Thomas ]. Lynch, member of the State
Water Supply Commission; Thomas
Lynch Montgomery, State Librarian,
and Major Groome. head of the State
Constabulary. These reappointments
were justified by the efficient charac-
ter Of the public service performed by
every one of this group of officials.
Governor Brumbaugh has made no
mistake in these selections, which are
on the basis of pure merit.
Two other officials who were reap
pointed the last day of the session are
James \. Moore, director of the Leg
islative Reference Bureau, and Samuel
c. Todd, State Executive Controller
These men have demonstrated their
special fitness for the work entrusted d
to them and the Governor recognizes
their worth in providing for their
continuance in office.

THIRD CLASS CITY LEGISLATION

TIME recklessness with which third
class city legislation is enacted in
Pennsylvania is very we'll illus
trated by the fact that there are
now before the Governor two bills
amending the Clark act of 1913, one
of which provides that mayors shall
not succeed themselves in office, and
the other making the direct provision
that they may.
Third class city bills got so little
consideration in the Senate this year
that when Senator Beidleman, whose
personal influence in that body is such
that he was yesterday elected presi-
dent pro tenn. by the unanimous vote
of the Republican members, was re-
fused during the closing hours of the
session opportunity even to present
amendments to the Walton bill max
ing changes in the Clark act, although
his Intervention in mine bills and
others was received courteously enough
and his views incorporated into many
of those measures. The third class
city never has received proper atten-
tion at the hands of the Legislature.
The custom is to rush through any
sort of legislation that may be pro-
posed by some influential member or
senator backed by a few city officials,
many of whom have their own per-
sonal axes to grind.
City Clerk Charles A. Miller, an au-
thority on municipal affairs, believes
that the only remedy lies in home rule
for cities. His idea is that the Legis-
lature cannot know the needs and
aspirations OF a city as we'll as the
people of that city know them and
that the lawmakers, therefore. have
no right to place limits on the activi-
ties Of city other than those pre-
scribed by the State constitution. His
view seems reasonable enough. Why
should Harrisburg. for instance, a rail-
road, jobbing and manufacturing city,
be governed by the same laws under
which Erie, the interests OF which are
largely maritime, operates?

LOOKING AHEAD

It's been an ugly day to-day;
I've heard folks grumbling bout the
way
It's rained and rained, and I'll agree
The sunshine l would rather see.
But If we'd have the flowers grow
We've got to have some rain. you know,
And surely we must have the flowers,
So let's put up with these May showers.
It's been an ugly day to-day
A most unusual day for May
But let each one of us refrain
From grumbling-w must have some
rain
1t won't be long till we begin
The bumper crops to gather in,
And We'll have ample cause to say
Were mighty glad 1T rained in May
He who is firm in will molds the
world to himself.-Goethe.
