LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATIONS

WYE have had legislative investiga-
w tions in Pennsylvania biennially
and the time of the I.C ;islature
has been consumed in fren"ied poll
teal inquiries which in the last
analysis are of little importance to the
people. Two years ago what is known
as the Efficiency and Economy COM
mission was created for the purpose
of investigating the several depart
ments of the State government with
q view to improving the general ad-
ministration of the Commonwealth.
This commission made some admir-
able recommendations, but it's i'm
in the shuttle of factional controversy
Harrisburg discovered long ago that
expert advice in the developing of q
better municipality was not only i'm
portant, but extremely necessary
What applies to the city also applies
to the Commonwealth. Nobody
doubts that economy and efficiency are
necessary in the development of a
great State through its several de-
partments, but when plans are worked
out and submitted in the regular way
without accomplishing any good pur-
pose these Investigations are certain
to be regarded with suspicion by the
people.
Unfortunately for the present Re-
publican factional demonstration the
motives which are back of the pros
pective probing do not appeal to the
large body of the citizens of the State
Men of all parties are looking with
suspicion upon what has already
trauspired and what is further pro-
posed.
1t cannot be doubted that a survey
of tie several departments on Capitol
Hill by experts would be good thing
providing their recommendation
should materialize in the adoption OF
better methods, but in view of the fate
of the recommendations submitted by
the Efficiency and Economy Commits.
sion there is not much encourage.
ment to further investigate along con.
structive lines. Should it be decided
however. to make some real effort
along these lines resolution EN-.
powering the Governor, the president
of the Senate, and the speaker of the
House to choose a firm of expert ac.
countants and Investigators to study
our government and make Suggestions
for it's improvement would probably
best solve the problem
So long as the investigations which
are instituted from time to time are
merely political in their purpose little
will be accomplished and the faith o.
the people in their government /,

Pennsylvania is peculiarly fortunate
in having in its State Police men who
are trained and tried in school which
has fitted them as the keenest of de-
tectives in running down criminals.
The force has been SO disposed in this
present crisis az to enable the indi-
vidual members to cover the widest ter
ritory in the shortest possible time, and
Pennsylvania is well protected against
any overt acts on the part of possible
trouble-mongers or pro-German tenden-
cies. The history of the State Police is
a romance of heroism and answering
devotion to the principle for which the
force was established. fascinating in its

In regard to the question of Civ

cIsion has the following to say:
AT common law, bail is mat

Kings bench division of the high
court of justice, or a Judge there
Of in vacation, had an unlimited
power of admitting to bail fer all
offenses, including treason and
murder, but bail was not demand
able as right.
This rule of the common law
has been materially modified by
constitutional enactment and stat
utory provisions IN this state, as
we'll as in most other states of the
union.
All persons charged with crime
shall be baiIable by sufficient sure
ties, except for capital offenses
when the proof is evident or the

was written for him by Charles
Klein, and in which he will appear
at the Elks theater, matinee ana

Julian Eltinge needs no introduce

actor who has dignified feminine
impersonations by artistic methods.
Each year finds him more popular
in his chosen field and his forth
coming appearance in his new play

curiosity in what new novelties he
will have to offer.
1t is said that Cousin Lucy is =,
distinct novelty in that it permits
Eltinge much wider scope than did
his former vehicle. The story con-
Germs one Jerry Jackson (JuliaE
Eltinge), who publishes an account
of his own death in the west in order
TO collect much needed life instr
ance money. He then DISCUSSES him

to collect for clients whom jerry
owes money TO. detectives from the

promised To marry her and who tries
to lay hold of all these possessions.
Thinking TO escape all these people
he accepts a position. as 4 woman,

comes 50 popular that he is In deeper
water than before. and when the OPP
portunity comes he is glad enough
to kick off the skirts and revert tc
his own masculine person. A delic-
ious love story runs through the
play.
Manager A. II. Woods has fur
nisaed cast which included many
we'll known players. There is also a
beauty chorus which shares the stage
with Mr. Eltinge during the numer-

Murder is now a crime for which
bail ray be accepted in the state
of Arizona. Il is no longer pos
sible to hold a man charged with
any degree of murder in Jail with
out bond. The old rule which has
been in vogue in the state for half
a century, which causes a man
charged with the killing Of another,
to be jailed and held in close con
finement until he has been either
acquitted or convicted has been de-
clared null and void by the SUI
preme court OF the state.
In an opinion handed down yes
terday written by Chief Justice
Franklin and concurred in by Jus
tees Cunningham and Ross, in the
case OF a convicted boo.leeger ask
ing for bail pending his appeal to
the supreme court, it has been in
ferred by the court that the aboI-
ishment of the death penalty, has
SO acted to wipe cut any reason
why an accused man should rot be
admitted to bail. In other words,
there being no offenses punishable
by death, there can be no offenses
for which bail can be refused.

question of giving bail is a matter
of discretion on the part of the
court, but it goes a little farther

a strict legal right which no Judge

constitutional provision in Arizona
and like provisions in other states
