BITTINGER

Notwithstanding the heavy rain
fall which visited this section of the
county on Friday evening of last
week, resulting in wet and muddy
condition of the earth, the Woodmen
of the World picnic, which was held in
Broadwater's grove at this place on
Saturday, was pronounced success
in every respect. 1t is estimated that
more than a thousand people, from
nearby and distant points, were in
attendance and spent the entire day
and evening at the grove. The tenn
perature was just right and with this
condition, coupled with clear skies and
a pleasant breeze, combined to make
it an almost ideal picnic day..
The public iniatory ceremony, per-
formed by splendidly uniformed men,
bers Of the fraternity from Washing
ton, D. c., was most impressive and
was witnessed and enjoyed by many
people. The addresses by visiting
speakers were we'll received. The ice
cream and pop man was on the move
all day and many good things were
in demand and readily supplied by the
men and women in charge of the re-
freshment stands.
Perhaps the next most novel fea-
ture of the day was the great squad
of smiling political candidates who
spent the day shaking hands and

Of the 1912 children examined, 2O4
were under four years old; 1868 be-
tween four and seven, and IS were
eight years old and over. Over half
of the children-9S8-had one or
more decayed teeth or teeth otherwise
needing attention. Practically one
out of every fve-that is 343 of the
total-yas underweight, and needed

adenoids. Only one out of every
three had been vaccinated against
smallpox, and 1850 will have to be
vaccinated before they can be admit
ted to school.
"Mothers and fathers can be de-
pended upon to provide new suits and
dresses and shoes for the little first
graders" DR.. H. M. Knox, Jr., chief
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene said,
in describing the arrangements for
the conferences, "but it is vastly more
important to get them ready from
the standpoint of health. According
to the estimates of the State De-
partment of Education, 10000 chill
dren will reach school age this year
and be eligible for admission to the
schools. Counting the children ex-
amined in May, and those brought to
the conferences in June, over 1000
have been examined so far. We hope
to reach a great many more before
the summer is over"

AMERICAN LABOR AND
RUSSIA.

The American Federation of Labor
continues to show sound judgment in
its stand against any official intimacy
between America and Soviet Russia
The executive council of the fedora
tion recently elaborated its stand by
issuing warning against the sending
of a mission to Soviet Russia in the
name of American labor and attack
ing certain American organizations
which are believed to be communistic
in their purposes.
Some labor men and others inter
ested in Russia having been planning
the sending of some sort of commits
sion to Russia, the purpose of such q
commission being to make an ''inves-
tigation of the social, economic, indus
trial and political conditions" in Rus
STA and other nations to be visited
There has been some suspicion, how
ever, that the commissions has a deep
er purpose that this.
"We seriously doubt the good faith
of such a self-constituted commits
sion," the executive department of the
Federation said. eve cannot believe
any representative or officer of organi-
cations affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor will accept &
membership on such a commission.
Mention was also made of organiza.
tions assuming to speak for labor, il
the name of labor and which the exec.
utive council believes, are communis.

{ MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK

The Baltimore and Washington Ep-
worth League Institute closed Sun
day night with very impressive can
delight service. This institute, as
well as the Pittsburgh area institute
held the preceding week, were marked
with the most gratifying success. The
young men and women paid close at
tention to the work of the gathering
and all went away benefited.
Both the School of Missions and
the School of Theology began their
sessions Monday evening and will
continue until the first part of next
month.
1t is indeed gratifying to all con-
cerned to note the splendid success
and encouraging outlook for the flu
ture when one can see so many young
men and women gathered in these
various conventions preparing for and
actually taking up the Christian work
in all its different avenues.
A number of the deaconesses are
here in their Rest Home where they
will spend a season of vacation the
better to carry on after their return
to their various fields of labor.
There have been many new and
strange people visit the Park 70
day. a week or a month recently, all
of whom carry away with them good
impressions of the place and of the
hospitality extended them by our peo-
pie.
The re-roofing of the large amphi-
theatre is now under way. The build
ing, or rather the roof, has been al
lowed to get into such condition that
even a shower rendered it uninhabit-
able.
The Park management has had pla-
cards printed and posted advertis-
ing boating and bathing facilities a.

weekdays are set in the schedule.
At the School of Missions Tuesday
a message was read from Mrs. S. w
Davis, of jamestown, N. .,extendring
her Fluctuations for the success OF
the school. Mrs. Davis has been crit
cally i'll for several weeks, hence hel
absence from the Park this year
probably the first time since the Park
was founded.

Americans has more to lose from a
communistic assault in the United
States than the working people them
selves. American workingmen are
steadily advancing in every way. The
contrast with the working people of
Russia is indeed vivid and striking.
In case of a communistic victory in
the United States, most of the rich,
realizing the approach of the storm,
would doubtless get away. 1t would
be those who have to remain behind
who would really suffer.

AMERICANS ARE REALISTS

This is the only country in the
world, writes George B. Lockwood in
the National Republic, in which gov
eminent undertakes to interfere with
the forms of government prevailing
within political parties. In view of
the fact that the acts of organized
parties must be subjected to the de-
cisions of the public will at the polls,
there is no legitimate reason for such
laws as those which impose the neces-
sity of a given method of selecting
candidates or declaring principles. The
convention system, properly safe
guarded to insure the right of all
those actually adhering to political
party to take part in the selection of
its agents, is the representative re-
publican plan of party organization.
Under the direct primary system a
political party may be, and sometimes
is, seized and governed by elements
out of harmony with its professed
principles. Such system makes re-
sponsible government impossible. 1t
makes of political parties only agen-
cies of individual ambition; mere Of
fice-b brokerage concerns. 1t has we'll
nigh expelled courage from public
life. 1t has exalted the time server,
the politician who thinks more of the
momentary wishes of his constituents,
however unreasonable, than of the
welfare of his country. 1t is making
political parties thoroughly unrepre-
sentative of anything but the appe-
tie for office, the lust for power.
= The advocacy of the direct primary
may seem to the short-sighted dema-
gogue politician form of fiattery Of
the people which will promote the for
tunes of those who engage in it. But
the American people have genius
for government derived from the fact
that they are realists. A theory, how
ever alluring, which works more poor
ly than less attractive theory which
produces far better results, will not
permanently hold the public allie
glance. The demand is great and is
growing for a return to representa-
tive government in political parties
and in government; in other words, a
return to the traditional American
form of party and of national gov
eminent.
The convention system of party
government, when restored, of
course should be aptly safeguarded.
The abuses of that system in an ear
lier day are well remembered. But in
proportion to the rapidity of return
by the American people to the princi-
Piles of representative republican gov
eminent, in proportion to their aban-
donment of the discredited European
theory of pure democracy" the Am
erican people will be on the way to
stability and progress in national,
state and local political and pulic af-
fairs.
