In the first place, the bride has been
yeowoman more than a year, so she
understands something about govern
mcnt orders and knows how not to
count on anything where they are con
cerned. And the bridegroom is a yeo-
man, first class, who seems to be able
to push a wedding as well as pen,
proving that he ought to wear the
crossed arrows on his left shirt pocket,
as he wears the crossed quills on his
left arm.

MAYOR PUTS JUBILEE
PLANS UP To PEOPLE
If Citizens Want Peace ceIebra-

1t, Declares Smith
FAv0RS FETE HIMSELF F

Mayor Smith is in favor Of peace
Subilee in September and has never
abandoned the idea of weeks fete in
honor of soldiers and sailors in Phila-
delphia.
With the hope of such a celebration
he has ordered the city grandstands to
remain around the City Hall and along
the Parkway.
''At the time of the arrival home of
the Seventy ninth Division" Mayor
Smith said, II took the position that if
the soldiers did not want a parade they
could be honored in September by n
city tribute to all who had a part in
the world war.
"I presume that the plans for the
peace jubilee are progressing salts
factorily. The people must, however,
decide whether or not they want n cele-
bration. / do not intend. to enter into
any controversy as to my position. 1t
is plain. If the people want the cele-
hration. they should have it."
| On the question of expense money,
the Mayor declined to be quoted, saying
that was a matter for Councils, which
now have bill pending that would
transfer 100000 for preliminary ex-
penditures. This bill could be aug
mentedf if more money is needed. there
being balance left in the hands of
Councils committee for relief and sus-
tenance of soldiers and sailors.
The preservation of the grandstands
means a saving of more than S100.0 900.
| leaving this amount to be expended in
decorations, floats and feature stunts
incidental to any fete that may finally
be decided upon.
| at would be n pity for Philadelphia
to fall behind other cities of the nation
in observing an event of such i'm
portance nationally" declared Mrs
Barclay H. Warburton, only woman
member of the committee on arrange
ments for the peace jubilee.
at would cost n good deal, I know.
she acknowledged, "but there are some
times when we should not count the
cost so deliberately. There is some
thing bigger than the mercenary side oi
such a question. Peace after this great
war is naturally one of the greatest
events in history, one that we shoulC
observe and that the next generation
should observe. 1t seems far NOR,
important to me than dozens of Other
excuses that the city has for celebrat
ing. I hope the plans can be carried
through, even though on little less
elaborate scale. and that Philadelphia
will join, the rest Of the nation in 6
splcpdid peace Jubilee this fall.

W. M. SMITH IS NAMED
STATE BANK EXAMINER
Son Of Late Commissioner Sc
Iected With Sprouts Approval.
Rebuke to Brumbaugh

William NJ Smith. of this city, was
today appointed state bank examiner.
The appointment was announced by
Banking Commissioner Fisher at Har-
risburg.
Mr.. Smith is an expert accountant
and a son of the late William II. Smith,
whom Governor Brumbaugh dismissed
as banking commissioner after years of
acceptable administration.
The appointment of the younger
Smith has the Endorsement of Governor
Sproul. and his selection for place
In the department administered by his
father for many years is taken in polit-
ical, circles as indicative of a complete
reversal in sentiment in the state ad-
ministration. Il
William II. Smiths removal from
Office December 80, 1915, was one OF
the political tragedies of the Penrose-
Ware fight for control of the 1917 Legis-
lature through the election of speaker.
Smith. originally appointed by Cover
nor Stuart. had been retained because
of his efficient and business methods In
n department where politics previously
had played part. He held the esteem
of financial men of the state. and no
reason was given by the Governor IN
asking his immediate resignation.
The general impression was that
Smith, being inactive politically, was OF
no service in the Ware -Brumbaugh Ell
fort to elect Edwin II. Cox speaker OF
The house, control legislation and build

election of Richard J. Baldwin, the

ROOSEVELT COUNTY ENFORCES
LAW SOMETIMES

The following article appearing in
the columns of the Culbertson
Searchlight indicates how jealous
the county officers of Roosevelt coun-
ty are when the railroad company is
imposed on.
1t seems that several 100 per cent
American citizens were working on
the Culbertson section of the Great
Northern railroads and were probab-
ly members of the union. Dagos
work cheaper and of course, now
that the war is over, it is to the in
terest Of the company to secure
cheap labor.
The American citizens resortedN to
the following crude methods of
keeping their jobs and drying the
dagoes away, which, of course, was
unlawful and the nainions of the law
are at hand at once to see that they
are prosecuted; for the railroad com
pany's rights are involved.
A few days ago an organizer OF
the Nonpartisan League was mobbed
by murderous band of outlaws call
ing themselves business men, but
actually a gang of low b1bwed thugs
who make up the business CD set
of the thug hole which is designated
upon the map by the name of Brock
ton.
Not a move has been made yet
that we have heard of towards bring
ing these thugs to justice and plac
ing them behaind the walls of Deer
| Lodge, which walls are provided fol
criminals and thugs of the kind tina
reside in that outlaws nest. Maybe
these Rooseelt law land order peopl.
will take action after some one ha!
been murdered at that place.
A few days ago Miss Emma
Crone, representing the Producer
News, was in Brockton. One of thu
prominent mobbist and blackhander
threatened her with mob punishment
if she did not leave town at thi
thugs behest. Miss Crene defet
him, and he was no doubt to yellow
to mob a lady.
Nothing has been done about thi
affair.
In an article of a week ago tn
Searchlight claimed that the section
men of Culbertson who were chase
away by dagos were Russian Boil
shevists; this week, however, the!
are Americans.

son.

One of the most Sensational news
items of the day has been pulled off
In our. city during the last week.
It appears that a number of local
men were engaged as workmen on
the section of the Great Northern in
Culbertson recently. About two
weeks ago a carload of Dagos ap-
peared on the scene with their own
cook car. This, of course, would do
away with the local labor.
So members of the local section
hands wrote a black hand letter to
the Dagos, warning them to move
on.
This letter, of course, was against
the law of our country, and several
people were arrested.
The defendants are: Ed Wagner
Jacob Wagner, Edward Geiger and
George Isbell Ed. Wagner is report
ed to have written the Black Hand
letter and Mr.. Isbell is reported to
have posted same on Dago car.
The case came before Justice OF
the Peace Mcclure at Bainville Tues
day, Frank Ne. Catlin, attorney al
law, appeared for the defendants
and County Attorney Walton Of

The charge was blackmail.
