worthy bill when it voted down
= the measure requiring the carry
ing of lights by all vehicles using
the highways of the State after night
fall. The bill has been before several
sessions of the Legislature and has
failed each time it has been presented,
largely because some of the farmers
of the State are opposed to it.
Apparently, rural dwellers would
rather run the risk of accident than go
to the small expense and trouble of
carrying lanterns on their carriages
and wagons. The farmer who de-
tected an automobilist using the roads
at night without proper lights on his
car would very properly consider him
q reckless and dangerous person. The
same applies to anybody who uses the
highways after dark without protect
ing himself and others on the roads by
the use of warning lights.
The automobilist who crashes into
the unlighted farm wagon or carriage
is not nearly so much to blame as is
the driver Of that vehicle. For the
proper protection of everybody con-
cerned, every wagon, carriage or other
vehicle ought to be required by State
law to carry lights, and it is a ques-
ton if the pedestrian on the country
road does not also owe it to himself
and others to arm himself with a Ian
tern before venturing forth after
nightfall.

and whom in many cases they repre-
sent in very intimate and personal
way, come TO their places in popular
favor not suddenly, but through the
years by means far dissociated from
such staid and stilted things as legis-
lative enactments.
Some day. doubtless. Pennsylvania
will have a State Flower. but not be-
cause a Legislature has thoughtlessly
decreed that 1t be such.

STATE FLOWER BILLS

!" oVERNoR BRUMBAUGH was
{ right when he said that there
- is no apparent public senti-

one plant as the official State Flower.
A State Flower can no more be ere

can national anthem be decreed by

Ireland and the thistle. of Scotland are
the results of tradition and sentiment.

And now I'm trying to check
The good things that have in tin
So can tell each friend
What things 1 need and would prefer
AS gift to have him send.
OF course I need a lot of things
In kettles, pans and pots,
Those that I have are springing leaks
And showing rusty spots,
But what I'd MOST prefer to have
Some kindly friends send in
Are two rain spouts accompanied by
y nice new roof of tin.

In the death of Bishop Dubs the
United Evangelical Church loses one
OF its most eloquent and scholarly
churchmen and Harrisburg one of its
most distinguished citizens. Bishop
Dubs was not only devoted church
man, a learned theologian. a polished
writer and a man of exceptionally wide
experience. but he was first, last and
always an American citizen of the
stamp that puts country next to God.
Born in Germany and a student of the
great universities of that country, he
was, however. an enthusiastic exponent
of the American form of government,
and as devoted to what he believed its
best interests as was Carl Schurz and
others OF that type who claimed Ger
man birth, but who found congenial
surroundings only in democratic
America, with its wonderful opportuni-
ties for liberal thought and construc-
tive work

old Latin saying to the effect that

first make mad" That, perhaps. is
the most charitable view one may take
of the present situation.

He spoke of the civic unfit that
West Virginia has engaged in during
the last few years. noting especially.
the passing of the prohibition amend
ment and the workmen's compensa-
ton law. both of which have proved
great boons TO the laboring men of
the state.
During the course of his talk he
urged that more good roads be built
in West Virginia II is a known fact
that this state is poorly equipped in
thoroughfares and more stress was
laid by him upon the building of good
roads. He suggested plan by which
good roads might be had in every
county. In the Northern Panhandle a
road should be built connecting
with the south and in the southern
panhandle he suggested one that
would connect with the east, then by
connecting the county seats, West
Virginia would have no peer in re-
gard 10 good roads. With the present
State revenue, Governor Hatfield said.
that was available. The governor
spoke Of the appropriation made by
the last session of the legislature that
made II possible to have the State
prisoners work the roads. The people
are Just awakening to the fact that
the roads of West Virginia are very
poor. and are endeavoring to make
them better.
