We are praying for the appearance
of the eastern teams of the National

a game in an hour and forty minutes
now and then, and no battle on the
West Side lot has yet been played in
less than two hours. The same con-
dition has prevailed in ST. Louis,
with the Cubs and Cards as contend
ers. Two hours an da quarter were
required for each fracas. 81.
Jimmy Smith, young Whale short

Madison; City Odorless Cleaners,
Lake and Sacramento blvd; Fisher,

The workers, partly women, want
a 9-hour day, time and a half for
overtime, half day off on Saturdays
during June, July and August, and
recognition of the union.

Riordan has approached the en-
ployers six times seeking an agree
ment, but always has been turned
away. The strike was called April
ii. There are 400 union dye-workers
still employed with fair firms.
The strike tied up the four plants
until today. Today number of men
went back to work. The union men
make open accusation against men,

Site of Fort McCord Marked

Thus far the commission has assisted
in the marking of one historic spot, the
site of Fort McCord, situated seven
miles west of Chambersburg, the site
of the massacre by Indians on April l,
1856, of twenty-seven pioneer settlers
men, women and children. A monu-
ment of granite in the form of a Celtic
cross, with bronze tablet at the base,
marks the spot. However, steps have
been taken for the marking of the fol-
lowing historic sites as soon as the nee
essary arrangements can be made: Fort
Hunter, near Harrisburg; Fort Lyon
ier, at Ligonier; Fort Necessity, at
Mount Washington, on the National
Pike; the house of Governor Printz, on
Tinicum Island, where the first govern
ment by white men was established in
Pennsylvania, and the Sandelands
house, at Chester, where was held the
first law-making Assembly of the Com
monwealth. That the matter of marking
the States historical spots has excited
general interest is evidenced from the
fact that during the year the commits
sion has received and answered many
letters from societies and individuals
concerning the work and the location of
historic sites.

law which went into operation the first of the
month. The two classes of persons principally af
fected by the provisions of the law are, oddly
enough, tdope" fends and doctors. The former
crazed with desire for the drugs which have gained
mastery over them but which are now denied them
are being taken under police protection, and given
medical attention, sometimes at their request
and often without it. The DOCTORS forced to comply
with numerous conditions before they can give
habt-forming drugs to patients for medicinal pur-
poses, are complaining that the provisions of the
law not considerate of the actual necessities of
the practice of medicine.
The new law, however, must whole be con-
sidered force for good It, of course hinders free
medicinal of narcotics, but it also restricts the
abuse of them Even if the unfortunate fiends are
made to suffer miseries perhaps to commit crimes
yet the spread of the awful drug habit will be
arrested, and that accomplishment will be compen
sation enough for any inconvenience which the
law may bring with it for the annoyance of law
abiding physicians and their patients.
1t is certainly necessary that in county WHICH
in recent years has been using ten times as large
supply of narcotics absolutely required for me-
Ndicinal purposes law should be put into operation
which places the sale of the drugs directly under
the control of the government. The strict enforce
ment of the law will leave little opportunity for
the sale in the future of dope to persons who
by becoming fends become criminals
That the coke "peddlers fear the Federal gov
ernment' detectives and are abandoning their traf
fic despite the immense profits which accompany the
sale of heroin, cocaine and opium, is indicated by
the declaration made yesterday to the Philadelphia
police by victim of the drug habit, that he has
been unable since March to buy narcotics at any
of his old haunts since all the dealers have dsap-
peared if by magic.

Pennsylvania Too Modest

Pennsylvania soil was the scene OF
Washington S first conflict, at Fort
Necessity; of Braddock IS fearful de-
feat, near Pittsburgh; of the most
bloody conflicts with the Indians by
the frontiersmen; of the expedition of
General Forbes, to Fort Duquesne; of
the Declaration of Independence; of the
hard fought battles of Brandywne and
Germantown; of the soulracking win
ter at Valley Forge; of the Framing Of
the Constitution; of tire first National
Capital; of the expedition of General
Sullivan against the Seneca; of the
Whiskey Insurrection; of the blood-de-
luged hills of Gettysburg, and of many
other events of nation wide Importance.
Cut out of American history what these
events stand for, and the part played
in them by Pennsylvania, and one loses
the real plot of the entire drama of
American history. Pennsylvania histor-
ians have been too modest, or too much
fascinated by the mere glitter of the
wonderful industrial development of
the State, to give just credit to the
tremendous moral force which the State
and its people have exercised in the de-
velopment. of the American nation. We
must call attention to the facts in our
history. We must make known these
facts by the monuments and markers,
as well as by books and essays"
New England and Virginia are now
to be heard from.

Pennsylvania and the Nation

An excerpt from the report that will
attract general attention and interest,
is as follows:
''In order rightly to study the in
huences which have been at work in
the making of the American nation as
it exists in fact, instead of in romantic
historical poems of New England au-
thors, one must 60 back to the early
periods in the history of the State, with
its many complex problems. The Quak-
er, the Scoteh-Irish and the Pennsyl-
vania German influences have been as
dominant forces in the moulding of
American institutions as either the
Puritan of New England or the Cava-
lier of Virginia. The influence of the
Puritan waned with the century which
gave him his name, and the Cavalier of
Virginia was always more of myth
than reality. The Scotch-Irish and
Pennsylvania German influences, which
spread out from the rugged mountains
of Pennsylvania to Virginia, Ohio, Ken
lucky and the Great West, are still
dominant in American, affairs. The
trails of the red men to the Ohio and
to the western wilderness were trodden
by the feet of the Scotch-Irish and the
German pioneers from the mountains of
Pennsylvania, and not by the feet of
the Puritan from New England. Even

The Historic Spots

But, in the seeing Pennsylvania first
those who 60 forth should become ac-
quainted with the historic spots so
abundant and precious to the true
Pennsylvania. The Historical Commits
sion of Pennsylvania, has just issued a
report and all through the pages the
work of Thomas Lynch Montgomery,
State Librarian, curator of the commits
sion, is apparent This commission was
created in July, 1913, by legislative
act and its first members were Senator
William c. Sproul, of Chester; George
P. Donehoo, of Coudersport, an author
ity on State Indian matters; William
II. Stevenson,~ ,~of Philadelphia; the late
William U. Hensel, of Lancaster, and
former Attorney Genera; Hampton l..
Carson, of Philadelphia, with Thomas
Lynch Montgomery as curator. The
commission is charged with the duty of
marking and preserving the antiquities
and historical landmarks of Pennsylva-
MIA.

Hard to Make Selections

In the pursuit of its work the com
mission has found an embarrassment of
riches. Hardly a county in i'ennsylva-
MIA from the Delaware to Lake Erie
or from the southern to the northern
boundary but contains some historical
spot which in time Should be marked,
and the commission has barely gotten
started in its work, after much patient
research. 1t has, however, visited
number of historic spots and it has
succeeded in interesting the people in
its work, and this is bound to bear
good fruit in the future. The plan and
scope of the great undertaking has been
decided upon and it viii not be many
years before the most important places
in the history of the State will oe suit
ably marked SO that all may know of
their value to Pennsylvania.

When the dying flame of day
Through the channel shot its ray,
Far the glimmering tapers shed
Faint light on the cowled head;
And the censor burning swung,
Where, before the altar, hung
That proud banner, that with prayer
Had been consecrated there
And the nuns sweet hymn was heard
the while
Sung low in the dim, mysterious aisle:-
"Take thy banner! May it wave
Proudly DER the good and brave,
When the battles distant wall
Breaks the sabbath of our vale;
When the clarion's music thrills
To the heart of these lone hills;
When the spear in conflict shakes,
And the strong lance shivering breaks.

"See Pennsylvania First" is becom-

thousands more and more each year are
awakening to the beauties of the ter
ritory that first welcomed William
Penn. 1t being considered the thing to
traverse the States highways and by
ways in search of the wonders within
its boundaries, the automobile furnish
es means of travel denied by the rail.

through the State then years ago, a
hundred now set out to enjoy the mani
fold beauties of its wealth of scenery.

ELPING THE GOVERNOR EcoNoMIzE

Qhe of the surprising things about the attitude of
