"I know nothing of that," Senator Ashurst replied, "but if any Demo crat accepted such gifts he would receive my condemnation as quick ly as if he were a Republican." "I have been told that the Pres ident and his party came back over burdened with presents from crown ed heads and foreign governments," Senator Penrose said. "There was jewelry valued at hundreds of thou sands and I was told that customs authorities valued the gifts et more than a million dollars." How Are Your Kidneys?

There was first a general ' committee comprising subcommit- I tees on finance, speakers and meet j ings, transportation for voters, etc., advertising, organization and regis tration of voters and the general chairmen. Districts All Interested This same form of organization was adopted by all the townships and lesser units throughout the county. Every voting precinct hfid its committee on a working basis. It is difficult to imagine a more intelligent and effective campaign than the one conducted in Mercer county covering a period of only five weeks, and as a result of this com | munity effort the loan of one million five hundred thousand dollars was authorized three to one on June seventeenth. Farmers and all -others in the outlying districts were told of the value of improved highways as arteries for the bringing together of the towns and rural communities. It was made clear that through a modern system of roads the produce of the farmer will be more easily distributed and farming will be come a moi stable industry. Many Contributions Of course, a campaign of this character could not be conducted without money. Chambers of Com merce and other civic organizations contributed in addition-to each au tomobile owner and every garage. Upon the windshield of the cars ap peared a sticker with this legend: VOTE Y-E-S Tuesday, June 17th."" BUILD | eal Roads I ißht NOW All bad road 3 were posted with this sign: "This should be a GOOD ROAD Vote YES June 17th. For the money Thousands of these circulars were mailed to the voters, one leaflet containing the following: "Do you eat? Or have you quit? Then you need good roads! You needn't eat the improved roads, of course, un less you want to, but a large per centage of the things you do eat are hauled over Mercer county roads and the better thi roads the less you will have to pay for having your eats hauled over these roads. The only people who don't eat are the ones who are dead and the only tax payers who won't vote for the bond issue, June seventeenth, are the ones who are dead. Either the ones who are using their six feet of ground that nature finally provides us all, or worse still the ones who are dead to the urgent need of the county for good roads. Make a mental memo randum right now to vote Y'ES. Program Outlined The committee also sent the voters a statement outlining the program as to where and how the roads were to be constructed in event of the loan being approved. Then follow ed an appeal to vote right and a complete statement of what the State Department of Highways and the County Commissioners had agreed upoJi as to the location of permanent highways and lateral roazls. This statement contained the signatures of the County Commis sioners and also practically their pledge of what they would do. It was a case of good faith. "Help dig Mercer county out of the Mud!" was a popular slogan. A message from Governor Sproul to the voters of Mercer county to support his program for permanent high ways and calling their atention to the importance of main trunk lines, without regard to county divisions, made a great impression. "Mercer county will never regret having voted to lift herself high and dry above the mud," was the Govern or's closing word. Still another circular sent to all the voters urged the support of the pro posed loan in the interest of a com plete county highway system which means, as was set forth, higher values for all real estate in the county, a saving to both producer and customer in the lower cost of hauling, the transportation to and from the best market points and greater comfort and ease of travel in all seasons. Voters Get Reminders After the ballots were issued and the-election was at hand a large card was sent to every voter with the picture of an awful stretch df a Mercer county road and underneath these words: "Put an end to roads, like this!" There was plenty of newspaper advertising in all the county's weekly newspapers and also the dailies in which the agonistic arguments were intelligently answered. It was point ed out that no argument was needed for good roads, the only point be ing: What are the voters going to do about it? It was pointed out that the bond issue would pay out at less cost per year than road build ing costs now. This example was given: "A farmer with land worth, say $5,000 will ordinarily be assess ed at about $3,000. His road bond tax would be seventy-five cents per year, about two cents per day. If he prefers to pay his share now he can buy $2OO worth of Government bonds, the interest will more than pay his tax and when the bond Issue is paid off, in say fifteen to twenty three years, he or his estate will still have the bonds." Another quotation was this: "The farmers of Mercer county pay as much for bad roads as they do for feed; they pay as much for bad roads as they do for their hired men." Governor Sproul and Highway Commissioner Sadler, are regarded as real road builders and have the support of the live wires of Mercer county, who have set the pace for every other county In the matter of educating the people to the value of modern highways. Dauphin and all other counties which have not yet awakened to the need of immediate road building should take a leaf out of the plan of campaign, so clearly devised for the MercCr crusade, and get into step with the Governor and his energetic Chief of the highways. Policemen Who Struck in London Not to Be Rehired London, Sept. 23.— Sir Neville Macready, head of the Metropolitan police. Is determined that none of the constables who recently went on strike will be reinstated as long as he is at the head of the force.

Sir Neville says that every man who actually refused duty has been dismissed, and not one has been re- Instated. He and the home secre tary, Mr. Shortt, hojfj that men who strike are unfitted to be policemen.
