HARRISBURG NEWS LETTER
{ Continued from first page )
the skilled application of such wmeth-
ods doeen’t come to light until the
Legislature is a thing of the past,
This year, however, the likelihood
of guerilla work is not so great as usu-
al. In addition to the watching by
the Democratic minority, each of toe
Republican factions will watoh the
other. Each regards the other as pot
to be trusted. And this makes the
people’s position as much the better.
The manner in which the Penrose
element in the Legislature has endeav-
ored (so far, with great success) to
block legia'ation to end the harmful
traffic in “dope ” in this state is indi-
cative or ite attitude toward most
good legislation. Half-a~-dozen ‘“‘anti-
dope” bills are in the Legislature,
All are aimned at the single end of pre-
veuling young girls and boye, as well
a= adults, from becoming enslaved
op um, morphine or similar drugs,
No one hss been able to raise a sou d
argument sgainst such legislation.
But * invisible government’ doesn’t
want such legislation and the do-noth-
irg legislature is living up to its name
with these bills, The Senate has
taken favorsble action bat in the
House 8B J. Gane, of Philadelpbie,
Penrose Chairman of the Committee
on Public Health and sanitation, has
refused to allow consideration of the
measures by his committee, Gans
hse been standing in the way in spite
of protests sgaipst the dope traffic
from ite victiros themselves,
to
These Facts Stare at Us,
Here are some facts prepared by
men who know what they are talking
about :
Our food production hss not kept
psce with the growth of our populs-
tion,
We have crowed into Lhe cities and
the production of our staple food pro-
ducts has fallen ss a result,
We are steadily becoming less able
to feed other countries,
We had a shortage in crops last year
8d the world in general had a short-
age,
I'his crop shortage has caused a tre-
mendous advance in price,
While shortage of corps last yesr
was due in some measure to climatic
conditions, there was also a shortage
of farm labor,
Milk farmers cannot get help and
are reported to be selling and killing
their stock. This raises havoe with
breeding.
We face the present crop year with
our,granaries bare,
The official report of the department
of agriculture shows the average con-
dition of the wheat crop April 1 was
the lowest ever recorded on that date,
here is ne much need for intelligent
farmers a= for intellig: nt fighters,
The housewife can do as much as
snyone by cutting down the garbage
oan volume,
A few hours’ work each week in thé
garden by ail members of the family
will work wonders,
Fioally, this is a time for whole
hearted national service—for every
man to work with his neighbor, and
every woman, too,
A man might look for a monkey up
a tree, but he would never observe a
Btar Bpangied Banner if it was worn
on the ankle of a fashionably dressed
lady.
