Within sixty days the voters o Pennsylvania will be called upon to decide whether the constitution shall be amended €0 as to permit the bor- rowing of $50,000,000 for improvemen of the highways of the commonwealth. Pennsylvania now has a system of State main highways embracing 8,000 miles, to which about 2,000 miles will be added June 1, 1915, and through a recent act the State controls over 75, 000 miles of township highways. ——r— B.

JUDGE DECRIES SOCIAL EVIL Defendants Laugh as Lawyers Pro- cure Stay—Judge Says “Debasing Influence of Saloon and Road- house” Figured in Cases. San Francisco, Sept. 18.—Maury L Diggs, former State Architect of Cali- fornia, was sentenced by Judge Van Fleet in the United : States District Court to serve two years in the State penitentiary in San Quentin and to pay a fine of $2,000 for violating the Mann White Slave Traffic act. F. Drew Caminetti was sentenced to 18 months in_San Quentin and to pay a fine of $1,500 for a similar offense. Caminetti ‘is the son of the United States Commissioner General of Im- migration. Judge Van Fleet in passing sen- tence said the act did not contemplate such cases as those just tried, and the offense of the defendants was not as grave as in cases where men trans- port women from one State to another for commercial gain. The mother and brother of Cami- netti and the wife and father of Diggs _| were in.court. The mother and father listened with bowed heads to Judge Van Fleet's words. Mrs. Diggs stared blankly at the Judge, giving no sign ghe realized what his words meant. «This was a crime of opportunity,” said Judge Van Fleet in passing sen- - | tence. “I mean that the laxity of so- cial conditions and the lack of parental control made it possible. “I wish to say that all through this case there is the evidence of drink and its paralyzing influence upon the morals and the minds of these men and the young girls with whom they went on that trip to Reno. The ter- rible, debasing influence of the saloon. and the roadhouse is too disgustingly f | apparent, and I make the observation here that society must pay the price for permitting the existence of these highly objectionable places. When their lawyers had succeed- t| ed in obtaining a ten days’ stay of the execution of their sentence and had arranged for Diggs to be released on $15,000 bail and Caminetti on a $10,000 bond in the meanwhile, both prisoners chatted and laughed freely with the newspaper reporters. Both -| insisted that in the end their convic- . In| tions would not stand. RRETE Don’t Dare Neglect a Cough! the same price. .

For years the cry was that Pennsyl- vania had no definite highway build- ing program. Now that this has been provided and the most economical plan for improvement offered to the people, the same folks who deplor:d the lack of a program are asserting that the bond issue is not the right way to finance the building of roads. Yet they offer no substitutes except to depend on current revenues or to impose a special tax to raise meney to build roads. The futility of depend- ing on the legislature to set aside enough money out of current reven- ues, in the face of increasing demands for local charities, the state health de- partment and other activities, has been demonstrated time and again. One of its present fruits is the fact that road building in Pennsylvania is now practically at a standstill because of lack of appropriations. As for a special tax,it is well known how such a levy imposes direct bur- Sunday morning quietness of the State the chapel services were going on. A few seconds later Eli B.

The engineer stopped the train in response to lantern signal just be- fore reaching River Bend, near Li- mon, and the hold-up climbed into the cab and ordered the engine crew to hold up their hands.

Fultz, of ths :Baseball Players’ Fraternity, an- jnounces that negotiations are now un- ‘der way between the fraternity and ‘the White Rats Actors’ union of America for an amalgamation be ‘tween the two organizations for the urposes of “mutual support and pro- tection,” and Fultz expects the ar- irangement will be consummated with- jin a few weeks, he says. Wagner, of the Pittsburgh team, iis announced as one of the latest ad- ‘ditions to the ranks of the fraternity: Prayers God Answers. Desires turned toward God are pray- ers. Some people suppose that they are praying only when they are on their knees, or speaking to God in some reverent attitude of devotion. But many of the most real and most acceptable prayers are never voiced in words. They are only breathings of the soul, longings of the heart, yearn- ings and sspirations which cannot be put into language. One of the Loi 4's beatitudes was for those who have longings in their hearts, “Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Hungerings and thirstings after God, desires to be better, longings for more holiness, wishes for closer communion with God, are prayers which God pro- mises to answer. Hunger is a mark of health. Not to hunger any more indicates illness. It is so in the body, ft is so in the mind, it is so in the soul.
