The Mother-Manager

In the clamor and confusion over
the high prices we pause to pay honor
where honor is due. We refer to the
little woman, with family of four
or five, who keeps her family together
and the wolf way from the door on
SIS a week.
Efficiency engineers and high sala-
ried financial experts should take off
their hats to the business manager of
the SIS a week home. She buys the
groceries and prepares the meals,
clothes the children and sends them
to school, keeps herself and her hus-
band looking respectable, pays the
doctor bills and guards the family
against debt.
No elaborately planned budget
shows where each penny should go,
nor what to buy and what not to buy.
Mother has it all in her head and she
can tell, barring accidents, just where
the family will be financially year
from date.
The country is not oversupplied with
this type of woman. The homes which
claim one are getting scarcer. Pity
should be given to the family that
lacks a manager, whore a dollar has
no staple value, but only passes as a
certain means to an indefinite end.

hands lumber and stone became a
house. Passers by saw in the structure
only a dwelling place, an attractive lit
tie bungalow, to be sure. but no diff
ferent from thousands of other struc-

woman, her fine cloak contrasting
strangely with her tired face and her
toll worn hands, came to note the pro-
gress of the artisans.
With her was young woman, and
everyone who saw her said that her
face was so familiar. Who was she?
Hadn't her picture often appeared in
newspapers and magazines? Finally
someone remembered and told someone
else about 1t. The girl was one of a
number of children. Her parents were
poor. She went to work for a pittance
while she was still child. 1t was evil
dent that she had dramatic ability and
one day she was given a chance to show
what she could do. She made her
dreams come true. She rose in her pro
fession. Her ability. was recognized
and rewarded. And then the first thing
she did was to build for her mother a
comfortable home. She admitted that
she was inordinately proud of the
house, and everyone declared that she
had every right to be. And they all
looked at the house with new under
standing, realizing that 1t was more
than "an attractive bungalow, but nc

JOHN BARLEYCoRN AGAIN

tTOHN BARLEYCORN is at his old
Chief of Detectives William L.
Windsor. Jr., calling attention to the
crime wave that swept Harrisburg last
year, explains the very large number
Of arrests, nearly one thousand more
than the year previous, by saying that
in nearly every instance the men and
women who fell into the hands of the
police were drunk or had been drink
ing" 1t is q fresh illustration of the
old truth that liquor and crime go
hand in hand.
We are graveiy told by opponents of
prohibition that the abolition of the
liquor trade, with its high licenses
would mean increased taxation for the
people, but 1t is q safe wager that
the 1857 arrests made by the police of
the city last year exceeded in expense
to the public far more than is paid
yearly by all the liquor license hold
ers of both city and county, court
costs, keep of prisoners, witness fees
and other incideHtals included, And
these arrests do not take in those
made by constabies throughout city
and county,
Rum, says the chief of detectives,
was the chief cause of crime in Har-
risburg last year. Even at a financial
profit this would be expensive, but
when the taxpayers are obliged to
foot the bills for court proceedings
and prison-keep, run up by victims
of the booze habit, the condition be-
comes well nigh intolerable, Every

is assessed to help pay these drink
bills, and 1t is little wonder that, aside

TOO MANY LAWS

TN his speech at the opening of the
i'll Legislature yesterday Lieutenant
Governor McClain again empha-
sized the demand of the people for a
let-up in legislation. Governor Brum-
baugh also suggested in his message
that the people have had a redundancy
of laws of every sort. Governor
BrumbaugL's IS friend, the retiring chief
executive of Ohio, also declared in his
farewell remarks to the Legislature
that his short public career had con-
Vinced him that our neighboring State
is differed and over-inspected.
These observations are simply indie
ative of a widespread popular senti-
ment. Newspapers which have given
any consideration to the matter at all
realize how much legislation has been
overdone in this country. Starting at
Washington its ramifications have ex-
tended to every corner of the nation.
Laws upon laws-restrictive inquisi-
torial unnecessary - have been i'm
posed upon the people by the various
legislative assemblies to the point of
newspaper over and over again a real
service will have been performed in
our own Commonwealth when the
Legislature devotes more attention to
the repeal of useless laws and the
adoption of sane and sensible meas
fare of the people.
Political controversy has been large
~ responsible for increasing laws and
the log rolling methods which have
too long characterized the work of the
Legislature have led to enactment of
had serious consideration. Experienced
members of the Senate and House
should give thought to a suppression
of those bills which cumber tie cal
endars at every session of the gen.
eral assembly. Many of these are the
sheerest clap-trap and those who are
familiar with the legislative game
ought to put a quietus on such bills at
sight.
Partisan bigotry and factional bit
>terness should have no place in the
performance of our duties" declared
the Lieutenant-Gover and he con-
cluded with the suggestion that I'VE
should be Pennsylvanians for Penn
sylvania." That is precisely the
thought of the average citizen and we
trust the Legislature will return to it's
duties, take up it's work in a sensible
way, ignore all political trickery and
controversy and as expeditously as
possible do the work for which the
people have sent the lawmakers here.
