Says Wilson Peace Party Ac
cepted Many Gifts From
"Crowned Heads"
Washington, Sept. 23. Senator
Penrose, Republican of Pennsylva
nia, declared in the Senate that
President Wilson and his party
brought back from the Paris Peace
Conference jewels and other gifts
from "crowned heads" which he
had been told were worth more than
one million dollars.
Interrupting a speech by Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona, who
said that in 1810 it had been pro
posed to prohibit acceptance of
gifts from foreign rulers by the
President, Senator Penrose asked if
the Arizona Senator had in mind
gifts made to President Wilson
in Europe.
"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."

MINKS SUPPLYING COAL

Pueblo, "Colo., Sept. 23.—A1l mines
in the southern coal fields, supplying
coal to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company plants here, have been
ordered closed. This does not af
fect the commercial miges of the
company.
I your shoes were full of lead,
j Often the joints ache or you have
quick, darting pains shooting through
the back or side.
Then again that frequent desire to
empty the bladder, cold, clammy feet
and just a little' puffiness under the
eyes.
Occasionally the hands or feet swell
slightly and the palms of the hands
are moist.
No regular practicing physician has
devoted more time to the study of
kidney and bladder diseases than Dr.
Carey. He himself asserts that many
thousands of cases of Hright's disease
and even diabetes could have been
j conquered by Marshroot, if it had
been taken in time. Hereafter you can
always get this effective prescription
at George A. Gorgas and all reliable
pharmacists the country over. Keep
in mind the name, Dr. Carey's Marsh
root. No other medicine can take its
place.

COUNTIES READY
FOR BETTER ROADS
[Continued from First Page.]
ization was thorough from beginning
to end. 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

NOW
All bad road 3 were posted with
this sign:

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.
More than a thousand of the men
lost their places, and their pensions,
when they struck, and now that the
strike has failed many of them have
applied for reinstatement.
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.
