As speedily as may bo this e should do. and when this Is dono the Legislature should adjourn. For the moral and tho economic wclfnre of our peoplo wa must all stand surely and steadily.

FOR STATE'S ADVANCEMENT High Points in Governor s Inaugural Following arc outstanding points in Governor Dnmbaugh'a message to tho peoplo of Pennsylvania at his itistallation, which took place at Ilar risburg at noon today: New Laws Urged by Governor Brumbaugh LOCAL OPTION Urges Legislature to pass county unit local option law, slating, "People of this Commonwcnlth have a perfect right to decide whether or not intoxicating liquors shall be sold" in their communities. ,,,. SERVICE Would approve a sane and practical civil service. WOMAN, SUFFRAGE "The resolution passed by the last Legisla ture, submitting an amendment to the Constitution providing for woman suffrage, should be rc-cnaelcd." , WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION "Wo must enact a fair and cer tain workmcs compensation act," with provisions giving adequate com pensation to tho incapacitated, and making for the prevention of accidents. Policies Advocated by the New Governor HIGHWAYS Asserting that the proposed $50,000,000 loan (unap proved by last election) to develop 10,200 miles of State highways was a mistake, urges new solution of problem, viz: State should construct a few great highways, routed between great centres of population and maintained uy licensed, capable supervisors. Also need State-aided roads, worked out on tho county unit plan, the Slate defraying half the cost. State should purchase all toll roads. EDUCiTlON Agriculture should command greater attention in tho schools. Favors creation of many rural high schools. Need greatly en larged permanent school fund. Continuation schools to which children who toil may resort for specific and practical aid, should be maintained in every industrial centre. CHARITY Legislature should know from competent authority the real needs of charitable institutions and agencies. Should follow such knowledge in making appropriations. CHILD LABOR Pennsylvania's child labor laws aro inadequate and unsatisfactory. No child under 10 should be allowed to work. He should be in school. No child should be alloivcd to work who is physically unfit. ., HOUSING CONDITIONS Every family should be housed in a house that is private, sanitary, safe and attainable at a reasonable rental. Tho State should take up this problem. FARMS Urges funds appropriated for Department of Agriculture bo used to produce bigger crops and not to maintain officeholders. Favors co-ordination of educational and agricultural agencies. SIKiES?1!?1!?8 shoutd lmvc a fuller degree of self-government. CONSERVATION A reasonable tax upon our great natural re sources, as they flow to our markets is both fair and wise. Wo should secure more State land and reforest same. capablo supervisors, whoso duty It should bo to keep them dally In Rood repair. It Is sheer folly to construct a costly road and, unsupervised, nllow It to deteriorate. No Politics in Good Bonds These supervisors should bo licensed roadkeepers and not political accidents. Unless a man knows how to repair a road and Is willing to put his knowlcdRo to use, he ought never to recolvo appoint ment nnd pay from tho State. Wo also need State-aided roads. Theso may pcrhnps best bo worked out on tho county unit plan. Tho county, with power to collect from each political subdivision Its quota of road taxes, Bhould receive an equal sum from tho Commonwealth. The money thus secured should bo expended pro rata by tho county upon tho roads of tho several townships. Tho routos should bo as far as posslblo those con necting county scats, nnd tho plans nnd perhnps all, surely part, of tho supervi sion of construction bo approved nnd sup plied by tho Stnte Poads should cost less than In tho past. Tho peoplo should know all the whllo what, Is being dono and what expense Is Involved. A good hlRhwny Is not only a public necessity, but an actually attainable good for our people. Acquirement of Bonds The Stato has now many miles of privately owned roads. Theso aro main tained, Borne well, somo badly, 'by tho fees exacted from tho users. Theso should bo ncqulred and mada p, part of tho public road system of tho Stato. It Is no credit to us that toll roads, onco a blessing, now art Irritation, should con tlnuo to exist In Pennsylvania. So vital Is this matter and so Imminent is tho demand that I urRO you to reduce your appropriations In other directions as far as possible In order to givo tho high ways tho largest possible appropriations., CIVIL SEBVTOE The public setylco should be as efficient nnd economical as private service. I be lieve In and would approve a sane and practical Stato civil Bervice. EDUCATION Under tho school code our schools hava made commondable progress. With few exceptions tho provisions of that code ara so essentially wlso that they should not bo changed. Tour Stato Board of Edu cation, to whom tho law delegates tho duty of suggesting such school legislation as should bo onacted, will in duo time nd vlse you concerning the laws. If any, that would lncreaso tho efllclency of our schools. I commend their findings to you. As tho number of pupils to be educated Increases, tho appropriations should in crease. Vocational Training Valuable Moro attontlon must bo given to voca tional education. Wo have the largest number of farmers of any Stato in tho Union. Surely ngrlculture should com mand greater attention In our schools. I favor tho creation of many rural high schools In which both boys nnd girls may be taught how to earn on tho farm and In tho home nn honest livelihood. An education that does not Increase tho slza of tho loaf on tho family tablo is scarcely worth the attention of our peoplo. All education, no matter how liberal and cultural, should ba so Imparted as to mako it usablo. The facilities for training teachers should ba improved, better su pervision provided and higher education encouraged. But tho emphasis of tho State's concern should rest upon tha Bchools of the many the great common school so dear to our people and so essential to their welfare. Wo need a greatly enlarged permanent school fund. Universal education is tha CBNTEMERlntthing butghvts tinti 1870. Ftrtyfivt jiari (imtaift imfrtvtmtnt.

WOMAN SUFFBAGE Tho resolution passed by tho last Legis lature submitting nn nmendment to tho constitution providing for woman suf frage, should bo ro-enncted nnd tho votors allowed to determine for themselves whether or not womon shall voto In Pennsylvania. APPBOPBIATIONS TO CHAKITY Pennsylvania leads nil States In Its sup port of dependents. Its record should bo maintained. Put there Is neither sense nor Justlco In unstudied appropriations to our many chnrltnblo Institutions and agencies. These constituto Important nnd wholly worthy objects of public concern nnd support. The Lcglslnturo should know from competent nuthorlty their real needs nnd should follow such knowledgo In mnklng Its appropriations. Moreover, tho bounty of tho Stato should never ox coed tho nssured lncomo of the Stato. It should not again occur that the obligation of lessening this bounty should b eplaced upon the Executive. It may bo thnt somo wiser and surer method can be devised to ensure these funds doing the greatest good and reach ing directly tho Institutions and agencies whoso service Is best or most needed. Surely the supervision of tho State-should follow absolutely Its gifts. Tho Stato can afford to bo generous only when It Is Just. LAP.OB AND ITS CLAIMS Tho people who toll are among tho cholco assets of our Commonwealth. For their protection, their comfort, their ad vancement, their happiness, wo are all securely pledged. I shall welcome any laws that promote three essentially wise ends. Wo must enact a fair and certain workmen's compensation act. Its provi sions should secure reasonable compen sation to thoso who In their dally toll suffer from accident or disease. It should assuredly mako for tho prevention of accidents. This compensation should be guaranteed. Tho- funds for Its prompt payment should be counted among the costs of production. In scope It should not Include labor upon tho form nor do mestic service, droit care should bo ex ercised to see that the law bo drawn in strict compllanco with constitutional limi tations. The present liability act needs an amendment to tho end that It may be In full accord with tho above proposed act and thnt both alike many guarantee to our workers the certain and speedy relief they merit and should have.

Continuation schools to which our children who toll may resort for practical nnd specific nld should bo maintained In every Industrial centre. No child should be nllowcd to enter upon any form of service who Is not certified by competent nscnts to bo physically fit for such service. Housing n Vital Problem In this great Industrial State It Is our duty to pay definite attention to tho housing problom. Every family should bo housed In n homo thnt Is private, sanitary, snfo nnd nttalnablo nt a reason able rentnl. I urno your attention to this Important problem. We cannot breed good citizens In disgraceful houses. It would bo a great pleasuro to tno and a great blessing to our workmen If this problem were ndcqualoly met now. OUR FAHMS Wo have not learned how to make tho most of our soil. Tho rowards of our toll on tho farm aro not what they should be. Tho Stato Bhould grow more food thnn It consumes. AVo ought not to be buyers but sellers of foods. Money Bhoutd How to us, not away from ui. Tho depart ment of tho Government charged with the conservation of our soil and tho scientific development of our crops hnvo sprung up, ono nt a time, ns their serv ices were required nnd no effort has been mndo to articulate and co-ordlnnto theso soveral ogcnclcs. There Is nt least de partmental confusion If not actual du plication nnd conflict of activities, All this means waste In funds nnd lessened sorvlco to tho farmer. I hopo In this session of tho Legislature to have such action tnken ns will seperate tho teach ing from the ndmlnlstrntlve functions of theso ngonclcs and reduce each to an ordered nnd scientific service. Tho funds for tho advancement of our agricultural Interests ought to express themselves much moro largely In wheat nnd corn nnd potatoes nnd less In clerical nnd other forms of routine sorvlco.

Our laws ought hot lo hinder but help these great groups speedily to find them selves In tho dlfllcult tnsk of adjusting municipal affairs to Individual welfare. The Stato should give these municipalities wider freedom of opportunity to develop ns they would, and lo place definite re sponsibility upon them so to regulate their affairs as to make our cities centres of moral Uplift nnd examples of clean, capablo administration. CONSERVATION Once Pennsylvania was rich In natural resources nnd tincqualed n natural beauty. Much of Its wealth has been taken from It. Much yet remains. Its ownership has passed to private and to corporate agencies, They have rights that must bo respected. So nlso havo the peoplo of tho State a claim upon these great natural nssets. In their marketing tho Commonwealth plays an essential part. In the returns tho peoplo ought nlso to shnro. A reasonable tax upon our great nntural resources as they flow to our markets Is both fair nnd wlso. Our public lands represent a now nnd Increasingly vnlunblo asset, We should speedily ncqulro many more ncres nnd assist nnturo to reforest the same. The State can well afford to Invest part of Its Income for tho welfaro of succeeding generations. Indeed, If wo love our con tinuing Commonwealth moro than we lovo our personnl gain, wo shall nssuredly foster our resources, and, whenever pos sible, add to them. Wo fall to sonso this obligation nrlght If wo do not remember that our people aro our greatest nsset. Whatever makes for their good Is conservation of tho loft iest kind. That they may be safeguarded In their health, their recreation, their edu cation, their homes, their worship, their property, their regulated freedom, their loll, should bo our constant endeavor. CONCLUSION Pennsylvania hns always given home nnd haven to the people of tho civilized world. Hero wo havo hnd for n quarter of a millennium tho most heterogeneous population of any Stato. Thero has never been persecution or oppression. In peace, In order, In brotherhood, we have grown Into n mighty people, nn empire of sub stantial purposes. Our peoplo aro law abiding and liberty loving. They want tho right things to prevail. Thoy welcome tho unselfish leadership of clean men. They want nnd must havo n clean, capablo and conscientious administration of their pub lic affairs. Thoso of us that servo should bo frankly honest with them. Thoy havo a perfect right to know, and they shall know, what this administration stands for and will steadily do. In tho performance of publla service let us ndopt tho finest codo of our best citi zens nnd put private Integrity Into public service Let us all dovoutly pray for this great Stato nnd by our words and our deeds humbly help our common God to save, to honor, to exalt this splendid Com monwealth Ho has given Into our enro and keeping.

I did post-grnduato work In Philadelphia and New York and then settled In a town of considerable bIzo on tho west bnnk of the Hudson Hlvor. I had nlwnys been an occasional drinker and enjoyed a game of poker. My third winter In tho town I went to tho main hotel with a smnll party to play. It was very cold outside and correspondingly warm Inside. We had several drinks In tho course of the game. I was called to a Burglcal caso of some gravity.
