Pennsylvania is now well supplied
with holidays. With the recent ad
dition of Columbus day, the legal
holidays in the Keystone state now
number 12, being New Year's day,
Lincoln's Birthday, spring election
day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial day, Judepentl
ence day, Labor day, Columbus day,
fall election day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. This gives the working
man and others the opportunity for
a little relaxation on an average of
once a month, and there seems no
reason why the people will not be
better off for it.
Fairs, theatrical shows, suppers
and cake sales sire announced from
many churches on Sunday mornings,
with little suspicion on the part of
priest or people that such announce
ments are incongruous." he said,
"but we may lay Jdown one princi
ple as universally applicable. Noth
ing must be done in the parish
house to endanger the morals of tin
young or the weak. Whatever way
the parish may take to raise money
it must be an honest way.
Nothing which even remotely
borders on the realm of gambling or
of betting must be tolorated.
"It will be a sad commentary on
the churches methods if the young
man who finds himself broken and
disgraced on the race track or Stock
Exchange can say that he got his
first lessons in gambling in his boy
hood at the church fair. We do not
wish to see big ecclesiastical build
ings created by the price of blood.
Polvtion ol Streams.
Wiiliamsport, like many other
cities, is interested in the purity of
streams. The problem of purifying
sewerage so that it no longer trans
forms the rivers into which it is dis
charged into open sewers has been
so far solved that these streams need
no longer be disgusting to the sense
and dangerous to the health of peo
ple living along them. The task ol
destroying the disease breeding bac
teria in the sewage and once more
making the rivers available for
drinking water has not yet been
worked out on a practical basis, but
investigations recently made by the
United States Geological Survey iu
cooperation with other authorities
show that this end too, may be at
tained at a reasonable cost.
The essential agents of sewerage
purification are provided and em
ployed by nature, and sewage puri
fication as practiced today is but the
intensive application of these natur
al processes. The improvements'
that have been made have not in
volved the discovery or application
of new principles, but have merely
increased the working efficiency
ef the natural agencies.
It has not yet been decided upon
whom the responsibility rests for
keeping the rivers clean, but the
consensus of competent opinion re
quires that if sewerage is discharged
within the region of inijiortant shell
fish beds or into a stream which is
used as a source of domestic water
supply without Alteration, such
sewerage shall at least be free from
disease bearing germs.—Ga/.ett and

Bills For Better Roads.
In the lowa legislature two bills
have been Introduced In the interests
of better roads. One provides for the
doubling of the county road tax levy,
for the development of the most im
portant roads which radiate from the
principal market town in each county
The other bill places a tax of $5 oi
nil automobiles under thirty horse
power and $lO on thirty horsepowet
and over, the proceeds togo into thf
stnte good roads fund.
The motor car of the farmers is In
fluencing good roads in another way.
The dealers are the most active good
roads advocates iu the state. One of
the principal motor dealers, for in
stance, makes it a business to deliver
a good roads lecture with every car.
The dealers have been farmers, and
they know, the subject from the stand
point of both sides. Farmers get the
idea at the very beginning, and the}
never go behind the new doctrine.-

National Master Bachelder's Warnin
Who Would Benefit by thi j
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside ;
the Grange.
lu Ills department in tlie National
Grange Organ in a recent number Na
tional Master Bachelder remarks that
as the grange is fast becoming an in
fluential factor in social, educational
und tinancial affairs and also in legis
lative affairs, both state and national,
the fair name of our organization must
be protected. There is and will con
tinue to be, he says, great effort made
by people with wares to sell and leg
islative matters to promote to in some ,
way use the word grange in the name
adopted to designate their business or 1
scheme in order to deceive the people !
and draw support to the enterprises j
by causing them to be known as |
grange enterprises. There is absolute- I'
ly no justification for this unless the 11
grange or some committee appointed
l>y the grange has absolute authority
in the management.
To be more specific, we may say
that un agricultural fair should not be
known as a grange fair unless its man
agement is In the hands of the grange
or has been specifically iudorsed by
tlxe grange having jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as a grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates to members of
the grange through grange authority.
A. paper has no real authority for the
use of the word grange lu its title un
less its policy is directed by the or
ganization, but grange departments In
papers designed for other fields do not
come w;ithin this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
of the grange. The use of the word
grange in the title of banks without a
controlling Interest in such banks be
ing in the hands of directors chosen
by the grange, whereby special priv
ileges would be secured to members
of the grahge, is an unauthorized and
improper use of the fair name of the
grange.
Other instances might be cited in
which wrong, impressions are convey
ed and the name of the grange placed
In great Jeopardy by the use of its
name. In a word, the name of our or
ganization should be restricted by ac
tion of the national grange to such
enterprises as at least have their poli
cies dictated and their affairs directed
by members of the grange In some of
ficial capacity, for any other ceurse in
case ot disaster would bring much
odium upon us, even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas
ter. We do not undertake to say that
an agricultural fair, store, paper or
bank using the name grange In Its
title should necessarily be financed by
the organization, but we do most em
phatically assert that the use of the
name carries with It or should carry
with It the authority to dictate the pol
! icy and diwet its general management.
