THE FOURTH OF JULY

"HE spirit with which the for
eign-born residents of Harris
burg and vicinity have fallen in
with the Americanization parade
idea was illustrated Tuesday even
ing when at a meeting of their rep
resentatives with the local commit
tee they offered to hire bands and
turn out in numbers that will make
the parade the biggest in the his
tory of the town. Fully 10000
marchers all told are expected If
nothing more is accomplished than
to make the foreign-born element
feel that it is welcome here, that its
war services are appreciated and
by native-born Americans as their
fellow citizens insofar as they con-
duct themselves as such, the parade
will have been we'll worth while.
There has been some criticism of
the expenditure of $4,000 for a
celebration at this time, with so
many calls for money from other
sources, and the sum is large. But
those who are in charge point out
that in former years Harrisburg
spent as much as $4,000 for ex-
plosives and fireworks to noisily
celebrate the nations birthday, and
that this year. with all fireworks
forbidden, $4,000 is not too much
to expend in a great welcome to the
foreign-born who are doing so much
to help us win the war for world
democracy. These people have been
SO long ignored in the hurly-burly
of everyday life that they have many
times doubted their status in the
community. Their loyalty is needed

SHOULD BE REVISED

TAPTAIN George F. Lumb, super
I intendent of the State Police,
has warned automobilists that
he has been instructed to cause the
arrest of persons speeding on the
highways of the State. Now it hap
pens that speeding" within the
terms of the act under which we are
operating, means anything above "a
miles an hour, which is the legal
limit fixed by the Legislature. Con-
sequently, anybody running his car
beyond that speed on a State road is
liable to arrest.
This is no fault of the State Police.
They have been instructed to enforce
the law and they have nothing else
to do. OF course, it is a silly regu-
lation. There are places on State
highways where "a miles an hour is
too fast for safety, but on the open
road, with machines as easily con-
trolled as they now are, 50 or 40
miles an hour may be maintained
with little or no risk to anybody.
The law should be amended so as
to prescribe varying speeds to suit
conditions. But until this is done
the legal limit is "a miles and the
driver who exceeds it can blame
nobody but himself if arrested.

SAVE THE GROUSE

A LII true sportsmen will rejoice
~ that Dauphin county has
Joined many other counties in
asking the State Game Commission
to close its woods to the shooting of
ruffed grouse for such a period of
years as will enable this king of all
game birds to increase is rapidly
dwindling numbers.
There was a time when nearly
every thicket had it's grouse and
not so many years ago there was
very good hunting within easy reach
of the city. Recently, however,
hard hunting and unfavorable win
ters have combined to almost eX-
terminate both quail and pheasants
and some form of protection is
necessary if they are not to be
wholly wiped out. Far better a few
years of closed season than no more
ruffed grouse forever.
Not even the wild turkey is more
beloved by 1.-THE gunner than the
ruffed grouse. The beautiful bird
affords the "sportiest" kind of shoot
ing and as a table delicacy is sec
ond to none. 1t is pleasing to thou
sands to know that it is to be saved.
and more gratifying still to observe
that instead of letting down the bars
on fish and game, as has been
foolishly advocated by some persons
as means of replenishing the food
supply during the war, the regula-
tions are to be made more strict than
ever.

A FdnIeSS Summer?

Among other things affected by
the war is the palm leaf fan in
dustry. The leaves from which the
fans are made come from China,
but cargo space is in such demand
and freight rates are so high that
few of the leaves now reach this
country. In 1915 China exported
1851 packages of palm leaves to
the United States; in 1917 only 157
packages were sent. This means
that the business is suspended
Should the war continue the old
fashioned palm-leaf fan may become
valuable as a curio. Meanwhile the
electric fan, which has grown rap
idly in American favor, is likely to
enjoy a boom. Troy Times.

The MoDie Pest

At the movies Larry Loudvoice

AS a pest he had no equal, folks that

For he thought it was his duty to

Little question exists in the minds
of men active in politics in Pennsyl-
vania but that there will be a great
measure of popular support for an
improvement of the laws of Penn
sylvania relative to the election of
judges when the next General As
sembly begins it's sessions here and
the incidents connected with the
coming election of two Supreme
Court justices and one Superior
Court judge will probably be of
such n character as to win even adj
vocates of the nonpartisan act to the
idea of radical change. The last
three elections of members of the
appellate courts have been marked
by some occurrences which have
caused many men to win for the old
system, while the actions in court
over Philadelphia common pleas
elections are still fresh in the minds
of many people.
The State Bar Association has very
properly started the movement tor
a substantial change and yesterday
its committee on law reform was in
structed to prepare a bill to be placed
before the next Legislature asking
for a return to the old party con-
vention form of selecting candidates
for judgeship. The action was taken
upon the suggestion of Hampton L..
Carson, former attorney general. The
committee had submitted pro-
posed act to provide a method to de-
termine, in case of vacancies in n
court, what names of nominees to
fill said vacancies should be printed
on the official ballot following the
primary election. Recent court de-
cisions, it was said, made the present
nonpartisan judicial primary act
most unsatisfactory to the profess
sion and to the public.
