THE DAY FOR ALL.

Everything is set and ready for
Louisville's celebration of the
Fourth of July on Monday at the
annual picnic and reunion for the
benefit of the orphans on the shady
and beautiful grounds surrounding
st. Vincent's Orphan Home, Payne
and Cavewood. For weeks past
many committees have been at
work in an effort to make this the
greatest and most successful Fourth
of July event yet held here, and it
Is almost certain that with a pleas
ant day this result will be attained.
The meeting of committees Monday
night, the last before the picnic, was
rousing and enthusiastic one,
every Chairman reporting Ready"
This week much time was given to
arranging the various booths and
stands and the grounds were never
in better shape. There has been
generous response to Barney
Campbell's appeal for chickens,
shipments having been received
from Bardstown, Leitchfield, Irving
ton, New Haven, Uniontown and
many other points in the State. All
make their returns as soon as pos
sible. A most welcome letter,
wishing every success and a won
derful day for the orphans and con-
tanning a check for $500, was re-
ceived from Mrs. E. r. Bradley,
Lexin gton, whose husband last week
gave $4,000 for the orphans of
Kentucky. There will be a variety
of amusements in operation from
the opening to the close, and the
dinner and supper will satisfy
everybody. Donations and supplies
may be sent to the following de-
pots, where they will be gathered
by the Transportation Committee:
George ]. Habich, 942 East Mar
ket.
Rogers Church Goods Co., 129
South Fourth.
St. Charles Rectory, Twenty
seventh and Chestnut.
George ]. Butler, Twenty-frst
and Portland.
Moriarty & Bro, Sixth and Ken
lucky.
Mrs. Coughlin's residence, 310S
South Third.
Joseph j. Kirchdorfer, Baxter
and Christy.
There will be satisfactory street
car service, special arrangements
having been made for extra cars via
East Walnut street, which stop at
the entrance to the home and
grove, where the orphans will give
their good friends a most hearty
welcome.

CONFERENCE TO BE IN LONDON

Premier David Lloyd George has
sent letter to both Eamonn de
Valera, the Irish Republican leader
and Sir James Craig, the Ulster
Premier, declaring the British Gov.
eminent to be anxious that King
Georges appeal for reconciliation in
Ireland shall not have been made in
vain. The letter appeals for a CON
ference between representatives OF
the Government and Southern and
Northern Ireland so that the oppor.
tunity shall not be lost. The let
ter, which is dated June "a, Is
couched in indentical terms to both
President De Valera and Sir James
except for necessary verbal changes
and concludes as follows:
"First-That you attend a confer.
,ence in London to explore to the ut
most every possibility of settle
ment.
"Second-That you bring with
you for the purpose any colleague
you may select.
"The Government will give a safe
conduct to all who may be chosen
to participate in the conference
We make the invitation with the
fervent desire to end the ruinous
conflict which for centuries has di-
vided Ireland and embittered the
relations OF the people of the two
islands-peoples who ought to live
in neighborly harmony with each
other and whose cooperation means
SO much not only to the British
Empire but to all humanity. We
wish that there shall be lacking nc
endeaver on our part to realize the
Kings prayer. We ask you tc
meet us as we shall meet you in
the spirit of Cancellation for which
his majesty appealed"

! James Craig, Ulster Premier, thai
he must consult with his Cabinet
before replying to the invitation OF
Prime Minister David Lloyd George
to conference between leaders oil

whisky and what job Curran holds
now under the reform" admins
tration. Many will also want
Judge Quin to tell in his beautiful
way how Collector Lucas special
appointee, Tommy Butler, was
lulled to sleep while four barrels Of
whisky we're swiped within few
feet of Tommy's slumbers. The
Republican standard-bearer might
explain why the big majority Of
soft CD drink proprietors are be-
ing assessed for his candidacy, and
what are he or his hackers prom
lsing for that support. But the sad.
sad part of the campaign is that the
poor old Keystone police and hick
fireman are being nicked for
S45 apiece by the Searcy-ChlltOn
machine. and we want to see the
Judge dare deny this before his
audiences, or does he think it is
alright. The Democrats can look
forward to a pleasant inning quizz-
Ing the Judge and If he balks the
public can. punish him for contempt
of court.
Just one word more for our good
friend Col. Petty, whom we haven't
heard from in a long time until
Thursday morning, when he pulled
little comedy stuff for the re-
porters. The Chief told a Courier
Journal reporter that the Louisville
Police Department is anxious TO
help rid the city of the gang OF
brazen bootleggers." Pretty good
for the Colonel, isn't it? OH well;
the Chief always would have his
fun. Aside from the wholesale
liquor traffic going on the Keystone
police have been doing notable
work in their crusade against gam
bling since the grand jury censure.
last week two of oru ex-street car
"yaps" made an important capture
at Thirty-fourth and Broadway, ar
resting three criminals aged about
eleven years for pitching nickels at
line. They have been highly
commended for the police ability
displayed and the next issue of the
Republican machine book will con-
tain photographs of the intrepid
Keystoners. We have but one
favor to ask of Col. Petty, now that
ne is talking for publication again,
and that is please let us have a
parade Of the keystone police de-
partment, headed by the police jazz
band, that has been rehearsing
without a public performance since
the day after he became Chief.
A parade like that would be a big
ger advertisement than the State
Fair. as the fame of the Keystoners
Is not confined to State boundaries.

about a fair revaluation has thus far met with general approval from the great majority of the taxpayers con- suited. When it was proposed, at a previous town meeting, that the work be done by firm of specialists in this line, the sentiment was very strong against bringing Tn outsiders to do it, Inany feeling that the cost would be excessive, and that the work could bet> ter be done by local men well inform ed regarding local values. At the sams time, they realized that 1t should be done. and many who opposed the plan suggested at that time have since e1- pressed themselves in favor.

 Where Are Your Children. was the title of motion pictures shown We'd nesday evening at the Majestic thea Ire under the auspices of the local po- lice department cooperating with the state motor vehicle department. The answer. as given Thursday, was the same as might have been given in many eases prior to the showing of the pic lures here-playing in the street, dodg- aE across highways dangerously close Co swiftly moving automobiles, stealing rides on the rear of trucks etc. etc
 Having watched the pictures referred Co trsgically depict the death of a boy who was struck by an automobile while he was playing ball in the street, six boys started a game in one of the DOT ourh's busy streets Thursday afternoon. A man and woman-strangers, came Easpins into local grocery store on Thursday morning, their nerves shat tered after barely missing figuring in a -raredv as a little girl suddenly dashed off inc sidewalk straight into the path Of their car.
 Tt Is apparent that the answer to "where are your children" is almost strictly intended for parents or guar dians A million miles of pictures will not deter the average live wire young ster from risiling a ball game In busy street If he cannot otherwise be in dueed to protect himself, little drastic treatment at home might help in many eases Constant reminders to be care ful. numerous citations of what hap oens 10 careless children may help in others.

 Next week, a case of more than pass ing interest is scheduled to go to trial in the superior. court here. This is the civil action of Dr. James P. McKenna, of Providence, vs John w. Whipple, ct al, of this city, and is the outgrowth Of a collision, some months ago, be- tween cars owned by the plaintiff and defendant Whipple. The crash, which occurred on the state highway leading to Pomfret, resulted at the time in the presentation of pr. McKenna in the To- | cal city c>,urt.
 Following the lower court action Dr. | McKenna brought suit for damages l against Mir. Whipple and also against l Sergeant George Laird of the Putnam police department. In the case sched- uled to be tried out here next week Dr. | McKenna asks damages of $5o,oo0. At torney P J. Danahey of Willimantic is counsel for pr. McKenna, while Tor rey and Geissler will represent the de- 1 fendants
 The circumstances surrounding the i incidents that lead to the institution of this ca SC are so unusual as to make certain that the trial will be followed with very special interest by Putnam people.
