A fine selection of neckties for the occasion. Fifty years ago the flower of our land, the young men of the | cusable mistake. North and South, with accelerated steps and grim determination were marching to a place which was to determine the issue of the greatest fraternal war the world has known. The meeting place of these men was Gettysburg, and the outcome of that conflict was, that the Union is one and inseparable. Now fifty years later, the same boys, though old In years, yet young in spirit, are again directing their courses toward Gettysburg. Their feet are not so quick, their shoulders are stooped, their locks are white, their eyes are dim, they go not to overcome their fellow- men by force of arms and the carnage of blood, but in the spirit of fraternity, in the consciousness that the same flag is the emblem of the North and of the South, with hatred eradicated and with a prayer on their lips that a kind providence is permittiug them to linger on earth, while the thousands have passed to the great be- yond. Good Road Bonds. Good roads has been the slogan of many for months past. The $50,000,000 to be provided for good roads is a big sum of money, and if the people of Pennsylvania approve of such a vast sum of money, every possible safeguard should be taken that the money will be placed and put to the use for which it is intended. Will the cry of graft be heard in every direction? The $50,000,000 would make splendid picking for many who are in that kind of business. If the people of Pennsylvania endorse the great loan, and if scandal does not follow on the heals of scandal in the expenditure of such a vast sum of money, it will be one of the most remarkable achievements in modern times in Pennsylvania. Good roads are needed, and good roads are wanted, but there a-e many who look to the disbursement of so large a sum with a great deal of distrust. However favorable to good roads one may be, $50,000,000 is enough to stagger the tax payers. The fact is that 5 per cent on $50,000,000 amounts to $2,500,000 and that together with automo. bile licenses and a reasonable appropriation could, without any un- usual burden, be made to yield annually four or five million dollars on the improvement of roads and there would be no $50,000,000 d=bt when finished. Capital Punishment. Pennsylvania is falling into line with those states that are met- ing out punishment to those criminals who murder their fellowmen, that instead of hanging them by the neck until life is extinct, they will place them in an electric chair and turn on the current so that|, splendid sermon on Sunday after- death may be instantaneous. Punishment must follow the violation of law. This is true in There is growing, how- that which pertains to all spheres of life. ever, a revolution against capital punishment, that the doctrine, “an eyesfor an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” cannot maintain itself | sick in showing signs of improve- indefinitely, and if Pennsylvania had delayed the enactment of a|ment. change in the law a few years longer, possibly the legislature might have changed its attitude on capital punishment.
