REAL LEE AT BYBERRY

ELSEWHERE in the country m,n are
haggling over theories or wildly debating
questions of 'rights," or warring bitterly to
decide the meaning of word or theory
applicable in modern industrial relationships,
and wasting a great deal of time and energy
and making themselves generally unhappy.
Up Byberry way the county fair is open and
there you may obtain n glimpse of the actual
realities that hold life together j. the United
States.
County fairs will soon be in full bloom
everywhere. They are made for the autumna
vacation of the farmers. They do not change
Other people may worry about the EinSteiu
theory. or the rights and wrongs of collec-
tive bargaining, or the Soviet virus in col
'leges, or the decline and fall of the Ampri-
can musical comedy
Farmers go along normally and with a
concern for good wheat, good horses good
cows and pigs and good soil. They know
how to make the best use Of the automobile
without saying. az city folk say, that the
horse is gone forever.
1t is Il good thing for the United States
that so large n percentage Of its pOpulation
Is occupied with farming. Steady cOntact
with the wholesome earth will keep almost
any one free of mental fcvrrS. Go to the
farms II you would meet the true conserya .
tive. There you will find people who do
more than you imagine to keep the shin Of
state on an even keel even while some Of the
loudest takers in politics and in some OF the
class journals seem willing to see how the
? old craft would look if it were sailed for a
!, while on its side.

WHEN A WOMAN CAN'T VOTE

DEFORE the status of married women
- under the equal suffrage amendment to
the constitution is clarified there will have
to be lot of legislating both in the United
States and in other countries.
The Bureau of Elections in Harrisburg
has ruled that an American born woman of
Steelton, who has married foreigner, can
not vote, as by marriage she became cti-
zen of the country of her husband.
This rule is in accordance with long pS-
tublished precedent. II an American woman
marries an Englishman or a FrcnChman or
a German she becomes Hn English or a
French or a German citizen. And il a
foreign born woman marries an American
she becomes by that fact an American citi-
zen.
This is because the social laws and the
political laws, so far as they apply to the
social relations. have always been based on
the theory that the family is the social unit
and that its status depends on the status of
the man at its head. He was delegated to
represent it at the polls and his citizenship
carried with it the citizenship of the whole
family.
The suffrage laws, however have changed
the social unit so that it is now the indi-
vidual There will be complications until
the other laws are changed to meet the new
conditions. Unless they are changed
throughout the world we shan have Ameri-
can women married to Englishmcn. for ex =
ample, who are citizens of both England and
the United States with political privileges in
each country.
way out will be found, for American
women living in this country will probably
not be allowed to lose their vote merely be =
cause they have married an unnaturalized

big "east VS.. west football game to be
played at Pasadena on New Years day.
In all previous matches when Har-
ward, PENNSYLVANIA etc, met the best
coast football team, all officials have
come from eastern or other points.
Now the southern officials have taken
exception and seem to have justice on
their side when they state that COM
petent officials can be secured from
the football men of their section Of the
country. They believe 1t is discount
esy to those men in the south who
work faithfully throughout the season.
The southern men are broad in their
contention and have asked that at least
two of the officials be selected from
their own men, the other two to be
selected from wherever the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses Committee
thinks best. Besides having its merit
of rewarding competent south of Cali
fornia men, such proposition will also
prove a big financial gain for the pro-
noting committee. Seventy five
