deduction in all Of Mr.. Peek's intem-
perate screed, and to me it Is now
perfectly clear why there has been a
sad ending Of the movement whicn
had its initial meetings in the treasury
and which had for its purpose the re-
vival of industrial activity through
agencies and by methods that were not
contrary to the statutes nor obnoxious
to the elementary principle Of econom-
les. MIR. Peek shows perfectly well that
I have never in any way, or at any
time, suggested such action as th"t
taken by the industrial board. Hence
his reference to me on this point per-
yerts the actual truth. Indeed, 1t is
not inexact to say that Mr.. Peek has
persistently and consistently practiced
deception in nearly every public state
ment he has made"

1 The bia Fourth of July celebration is

The big Fourth Of July celebration Is
no. to be in any sense local. 1t is to be
Countrywide and state wide. 1t is to
De in the interest of good roads gener-
ally and especially in the interest Of
the main highways. A central idea Is
to establish communities Of interest
along each Of the highways. The peo-
Die living along the roads feeding the
main highways are expected to unite
and cooperate with the people In
charge of the main highway with
which they are connected. The bulk OF
the labor and responsibility is to fall
on the York Automobile association, OF
course, and that association will meet
it's task and responsibility with pleas
ure. But from the nature Of the un-
dcrtaking Of course, all the people OF
all the roads will do their respective
parts. The great crowds that are to be
in attendance are to be fed, as well as
otherwise entertained, and as a matter
of course it is assumed that everybody
from all sections will help in this. The
idea is to make July day to be re-
membered, both on account Of pleas
ure and profit. Those who come on
hat day with that expectation, will not
be disappointed.

1t is announced from Columbia that
Attorney General Wolfe proposes to
take up the task of looking after the
enforcement of laws that have become
dead on the statute books. To that
end he has asked the clerk Of the court
in each Of the 46 counties to advise
him of the names of the foremen OF
the grand juries and he proposes to
furnish these grand jury foremen with
lists Of laws that have fallen into dis
regard. If this really be the intention
of Mr.. Wolfe he should have the CO.
operation of all good citizens. There
are on the statute books quite num-
Der of laws that are more than use
less; but the state gets no credit out OF
ignoring them. The bad laws should
be enforced along with the good ones
and in this manner laws that are dem
onstrated to be bad may be the more
easily repealed.

George NJ. Peek, chairman of the in
dustrial board, which was dissolved
last week as the result Of its contro-
versy with Secretary Glass and Dlrec-
tor General Of Railroads Hines, is out
in a statement in which he makes a
bitter attack on these gentlemen. He
would make it appear that his board
has been doing all it could to reduce
the cost of living, and that Messrs'
Glass and Hines have stood in his way.
The controversy centered mainly
around the price of steel rails as the
industrial board sought to fix the same.
Director Hines said the price was too
high, and insisted that he could get
better terms In the open market. he
was backed by Mr.. Glass. Mr.. Peek
says that the refusal to pay the fixed
price for rails will disrupt business
and play smash with things generally
He charges Messrs. Glass and
Kinds as being unreasonable and
contrary. Mr. Glass came back In
reply in which he says: There is
scarcely one accurate assertion or sane

the fact that the sentiment Of the quail

When people are willing to give up

That race between the Victory ship
and the Victory loan was little unfair
to the ship. During the first few days,
the ship which was to steam from San
Francisco to New York while the loan
was being raised. was able to make Its
schedule all right. But when the loan
went through with rush and bump
the ship could not quite accommodate
itself to the pace.

portion Of the cost. Some hesitated
because Of doubt as to whether $4,000
could be spent on permanent road i'm
provement anywhere in the township
so as to give direct benefit to major
ity Of the taxpayers. The common Idea
of those who supported the tax was
that the experiment was a worthy and
creditable one and they were willing
to pay their part Of the cost for a
look-in at the results whether they got
any direct benefit or not.

ought to be apparent to anybody that
