The Narrow Vision

"A little learning is dangerous thing" says
an old maxim.
How true the observation when it is applied
to legislative body. "A little learning" mar
row vision, and purely local viewpoint stifled
good legislation and viciously struck at good in
stitutions during the last session Of the legsla-
ture.
Most Of the representatives had an outlook
that was limited by township or locality needs.
They brought no craftsmanship, no broad vision
Of state needs to their task.
For that reason most of the legislators were
incapable Of doing the work that is required now
days from legislature. They fought for laws
that had local significance. but were inimical to
the welfare Of the state as whole.
This may account for the attack upon the bu-
reau Of legislative information The legislators
preferred information given out by the lobby to
accumulated information made available by a
bureau whose sole function is gathering and sys-
tematizing facts that may guide and direct in the
formation of our laws. Many of the men who
voted against the bureau did so because the lob
by wanted them to do so. The lobby knew that
the bureau was in possession of data that would
enable the legislators to draft good laws and to

vote right when the laws came up for passage
or defeat.
John Lapp of the bureau Of legislative infor-
nation summed up the weakness and failure OF
the legislature when he said:
at is the small man placed in the position Of
power who causes the failure of legislatures. The
man placed at the head Of important committees
may do incalculable harm if he does not have
more than the township vision, or if he is backed
by private interest. The narrowness of view ex-
hibited by many leaders, particularly in the SEN
ate, is one of the disheartening things connected
with this legislature. On the whole, the house OF
representatives did its work creditably; but the
same cannot be said of the senate"

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain

Free Garden Seed

Thousands Of persons who never titled the
soil before will be planting gardens this year.
The movement for kitchen gardens is nation wide
in it's scope.
Finly Gray, former congressman from this
district is mailing thousands of packages of free
garden seeds to his old constituents. Gray is not
paying for the seeds nor for the postage. Uncle
Sam has attended to that.
Formerly these seeds went into the waste
basket or were placed with the rubbage. This
year they will be put to service. So for the first
time the free dispensation Of the government
through congressional representative will real
~ help the people.
If the seeds terminate and produce good veg
etables, voters of the Sixth district will have
something to remember Gray by. Perhaps that's
the reason why he had them sent, even if he is
no longer an official representative of the people.
Gray never overlooked the free seed gift. He
believed it was good stroke of politics, and so
he had Uncle Sam pay the postage and distribute
the seeds.
We hope that Congress will soon eliminate
this form Of expense and extravaganza. The
original purpose Of free seed distribution was to
help the introduction Of species and to spread
the use of good seeds. The day is gone when this
purpose is served Free seeds today are used by
politicians to keep on good terms with their
constituencies.

Such New York newspapers as
the World are proposing that this
country donate $1,000, 100000 to the
Allies. Influential New York specu-
lators have urged that we donate
$4,000, 100000 or practically as
much as the Civil war cost US.

want to strip our own country OF
food and munitions and other war
supplies to the extent of from
$1,000, 100000 to $4,000. 900, 900 and

Buchanan who, just previous
to the outbreak OF the Civil
war, permitted Federal munitions
and supplies to be drained from
Northern to Southern arsenals.

is keeping its sanity in these trying
times and editorially is preaching
the true doctrine of American pre-
paredness, the American. The fol-
lowing editorial is from that jour.
nal and in our opinion is so sanely
and practically patriotic that we
commend 1t to your consideration.

All Our Men, Money and Munitions Are
Desperately Needed in the Work Of Pre-
pairing for Our Own National Defense

We urge you-every man and WON
an of you--to make your voices heard
in loud opposition to such preposter-
GUS propositions.
We urge you to make your voices
heard by the President and by the Con-
gress.
President Will Err Greatly.
And we say to the President, with
all due respect for his high office.
that he will greatly err If he does not
plainly speak his opposition to this
lunatic war programme.
And to the Congress we appeal, In
the name of the American people, that
it loyalty and boldly and immovably
oppose and resist every proposal to put
dollar of American money or single
American soldier at the disposal of any
foreign Government until this country
of ours has been put upon ground of
impregnable preparedness for its own
defense.
The man who, in this time Of danger
and unpreparedness, proposes or votes
to strip our own land of SO much as
an ounce of its poor and inadequate
present means Of defense is nothing
short of fool and is more dangerous
than secret traitor or an armed
enemy.
II we should indeed commit our
selves to such incredible folly, the day
will come when the land will rue that
folly in blood and tears, and when
every man who had part in planning
or hand in executing this treason to
our own safety will be the object of
universal execration and may be for
tunate if an outraged and Infatuated
people do not swing him at the end
of a revengeful rope
We repeat that this proposal to strip
our land of its money and its men and
its weapons for the use of foreign Pow
ers is madness-stark, staring mad
ness. =.
This is the time to conserve our
funds and our forces to prepare at
home for the danger which threatens
us at home from Germany. Mexico and

keepers say their bees get into the

get out. The glass confuses the bees
and they are unable to find the holes
