Virtually every form of protection has been thrown nround the citizen to en able him to givo free expression to his political desires. sThe first duty of the Governor in connection xvith Philadelphia reform bills will be the appointment of five nexv registration commissioners.

Skimming around holes in the fis phnlt. trying to dodge granite blocks that jut above the street level, wheels slipping ker-sock into ruts well, the only thing left to do is to keep one eye peeled on traffic nhcad nnd the other on the roadway. The condition is not confined to any one section. Rven P.road street. Phil adelphia's pride, is not immune. Cavi ties are peppered over that long thoroughfare. Thoughtfully enough, tho bureau of highways doesn't leave tho cavities yawning xory long. They nro filled up with bricks, most of, them, thus reducing the shock from a wrench ing jar to n stiff bump. There is an ounce of cure in sight for this pound of trouble.
