For He's a Jolly Good FellolU

In a recent issue of the Lancaster
Intelligencer there was printed an
appreciation of George w. Hensel.
the Quarryville philosopher and opti-
mist. He contributes Down Lancas-
ter Way" to the Philadelphia North
American and incidentally, as the
Intelligences indicates, is a banker,
merchant, writer, student, politician
like banker, merchants like mer-
chant, studies like student, does not
always polite like a politician, but
always is a good fellow.
"In wandering around this world
of care, Mr.. Hensel has visited many
and devious corners and has observ-
ed carefully what he has seen. So he
talks well on many subjects and
writes better on all things connected
with Lancaster county and its
people"
AS president of the Quarryvllle
National bank, Mr.. Hensel directs
one of the banner financial institu-
tons in the county. He is one of the
kind of bankers who would rather
accept as collateral a growing Lam
caster county bull than he would the
gold bonds of the Skedunk railroad
of PARKWAY Land even If it is presid-
ed over by ]. Phillipont Forgan.
Hence his bank is the mecca of the
Lower Lancastrians who have faith
in themselves and their business.
AS q merchant he sells all the way

quickly, and is a terror to drum

ing of various kinds of game in
counties.
A score or more of counties have
been closed to hunting of deer, quail,
turkeys and other game for several
years and tho grouse movement was
merely an extension of the idea.
There was some opposition, but it
failed to materialize yesterday. and
Secretary Joseph Kalbfus was told
that IL the other counties were going
to close the protestants would not
push the matter.
The effect of the closing of the
State to the hunting of the ruffed
grouse means that this fall no grouse
may be shot and that next year when
the grouse season opens the supply
will have been augmented through
two Matching seasons, this year and
next. Still more it means that the
State is definitely committed to the
policy of conservation of wild life
when necessary.
The Pennsylvania Commission has
taken advanced steps with its game
preserves, its closed periods and its
propagation, and this latest move,
the most extensive of the kind taken
without a legislative act, is real con-
servation and will be appreciated by
lovers OF hunting and wild life.

SELECTING CANDIDATES
kansas City Star1

Kansas City Start
If voters selected candidates with
the same care they exercise. say in
ordering dinner on a dining car,
these primaries might turn out some
good tickets. But voters don't, of
course. They either don't vote in
primaries at all or they vote for rea~
sons that wouldn't weigh ten cents
worth with the average man in a
business deal.
Men who pride themselves on
their sagacity and are pretty stiff
customers to tackle in their stores
OF offices when the proposition is to
sell them something with a profit
to yourself or buy something of them
without any for them, such men will
go into a primary where candidates
are TO be selected to administer pub
lie affairs--spend public money, as
sess taxes and run public institutions
and vote for a picture tackled up
on a telegraph pole. They don't pre-
tend to defend this sort of selection.
They are usually quite frank In say
ing that they don't much care who
is nominated. They say politics isn't
business anyway, but just sport
ing proposition and about the only
value a vote has is in the use of 1t
to help out the friend of friend.
