Within sixty days the voters o

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.

SLAVERS TO JAIL
DIGGS AND CAMINETTI GET TWO
YEARS AND 18 MONTHS RESPEG-
TIVELY UNDER MANN ACT.
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

addition, the system is constantly in-
creasing apd this year will see over
25 miles of such roads reconstructed
by the payment of one half of the cost
out of the State treasury.
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

President David L. Fultz, of ths

jnounces that negotiations are now un-

‘the White Rats Actors’ union of
America for an amalgamation be
‘tween the two organizations for the

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. The true spiritual life i8 full of
