Vote "YES"
$ ,
To All Road Users:
i Does Dauphin county —does Central Pennsylvania
—know the economic handicap of BAD ROADS?
"YES"—
Because with few exceptions this section of the state
has never had good roads.
Is it not a fact that while the merchants of the market
centers suffer as a result, THE FARMER SUFFERS
MORE, because of the increased cost of getting his
produce to market?
-YES"—
Good roads bring the farms closer to town; they reduce
the cost of transportation; they cut down the time re
quired to get from place to place.
Doesn't that make Good Roads a direct BENEFIT to
the Farmer, the Business Man, the Consumer, the Auto
mobilist—in fact the General Public?
"YES"—
Is there a remedy?
"YES"—
Is it by voting for Constitutional Amendment No. 1 on
the election ballot next Tuesday?
"YES"—
Does that authorize the legislature to pass enabling
legislation, so that without a cent of increased taxes on
the farmers or anybody else, the state may from time to
time issue bonds for road improvements?
"YES"—
Then listen:
Support Amendment No. 1 on Tuesday. Vote "Yes."
Improved roadc must come. Pennsylvania demands them.
Provide the State with the means to build them rapidly—
by a loan if necessary.
Don't take a chance that the necessity for good roads
• might result in a curtailed appropriation for our schools
and worthy charitable institutions.
Vote for the so-called "fifty million bond issue," with
the assurance that bonds will not be used unless absolutely
necessary—and in no event until after the war is over.

I j Davis. 22 years of age, son of Mr. '
'and Mrs. John Davis. 1628 Regina j

battlelields of France, fatally wound- ]

j letter reached his proud parents, ,
• Davis was dead. < ifflcial word from [

I night by Mr. and Sirs. Davis, stated |
' that Eugene had died of wounds, Oc- j
I tober 7.
I "I van never help admiring,"

; 29. and received by them October J
! October 19, "Theodore Roosevelt for
: the way he took his son's death. I j

! Roosevelt as bad ills parents before i
1 him, hnd it is signitieant that the last j

' their boy should contain an allusion I
jto Roosevelt's greatness towards
death and towards life'.
Though Mr. and Mrs. Davis knew

i written by William Jones, of 2251 I
' Jefferson street, this city, a lifelong j
chum of Davis' and a member of the |

parents, information first came here ;
telling of •Chauffeur Davis* wounds, j
i This epistle stated ttiat "Gene had j
got hit in the back with shrapnel ,

early next week will be issued soon.
| The situation in both coal Hclds ts

Or. Royer's Statement
Dr. Ro.ver's statement says, in
j substance:
I "The Attorney General's Dcpart
, emnt has advised me that the re
| ported action of Judge Land's en
-1 joining the commissioner of health
land the front maintaining
I a quarantine injunction against the
I City of Lancaster, amounting in ef
| feet to a mandatory injunction toi
| run the trains into Lancaster and
I accept passengers to and from that
j point, is an unwarranted assuntp
jtion of judicial authority, without
j legal effect, and which both the
railroads and myself might properly
disregard, for the reason that the
court of common pteas of Dauphin
county is the only court having ju
risdiction to enjoin the heads of
I state departments with reference to
I tlie promulgation and enforcement
jof their official ortfcrs, as it would
| be intolerable for such officials to
i bo compelled to appear in different
j and widely-separated counties of
| the commonwealth and be subjected
,to different and possibly conflicting
orders with reference to the same
matter; and. in this particular case,
for the further reason that the city
solicito, in preparing the bill, failed
to comply with the equity rules of
the Supreme Court by endorsing on.
or having contained In, the bill in
equity any notice to the defendants
to appear and answer.
"It Is the more irregular anr un
justifiable because it was issued
j without notice or hearing, although
the parties knew that representatives
of the Department of Health as well
as of the Attorney General's Depart
ment were in Lancaster at the time,
and especialyl so because It was
granted with full knowledge of the
fact that its legality could not be
questioned or decided either in the
court of common pleas of Lancas
ter county or in an appellate court,
because before such a hearing could
be had the time for lifting the ban
closing the saloons in the City of
Lancaster (next Tuesday noon)
would have expired and the ques
tion would have become a moot one
! not reviewable in the courts.
"Such action is in line with the
reported previous conduct of the
parties involved, which was tata
mount to counsel and encouragement
to the liquor dealers of Lancaster to
violate the established law, an amaz
ing tiling to come from those whose
especial duty as well as sworn obli
gation it is to enforce the laws of the
commonwealth.
"Were it not for the fact that the
health conditions in the City of
Lancaster are improving to such an
extent that the ban may be safely
lifted on Tuesday, I would request
the Governor to declare the city
under martial law and enforce the
phy c ical closing of the few (fifteen
out of seventy-live) defiant saloon
keepers, a power which unques
tionably exists.
"In view of the improved condi
tions, I have decided not to resort
to this drastic course merely to en
force compliance with the law by
closing the saloons for one day, and
I leave the responsibility "for the vio
lation of the law by those few defi
ant liquor men, with its attendant
and contempt for law
and authority, where It belongs, on
the shoulders of those who coun
seled or encouraged such violations
as well as the municipal authorities
who refused to aid the department
in the enforcement of its orders.
"I hereby give warning, however,
that this step must not be taken as
a precedent by other municipalities,
which following the example of the
City of Lancaster, have threatened
to disobey the regulations and or
ders of this department issued pur
suant to law, but the health condi
tions of which have not improved
to the same extent as now exist in
Lancaster, and where conditions are
such that the ban imposed by this
department cannot safely be lifted,
the order will lie enforced by every
means at the control of the com
monwealth."
