TUESDAY,
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Get up right in tho morning. Go
to bed right at night. Start with
joy in your heart, hope in the future,
kindness in your purpose. If It is a
dark day, never mind; you will light
en it up. If it is a bright day, you
will add to the brightness. Give a
word of cheer, a kindly greeting and
a warm handshake to your friends.
If you have enemies, look up, pass
them by, forget and try to forgive.
If all of us would only think how
much of human happiness is made
by ourselves, there would bo less of
human misery. If all of us would
bear in mind that happiness Is from
within and not from without, there
would be a wellsprlng of joy in every
heart and the sun would shine for
ever, Try it! Leslie's Weekly.
If the Pennsylvania Democratic
leaders don't succeed in landing
William H. Berry in a nice, soft Fed
eral job within the State, they will
have him on their hands two years
hence when tho gubernatorial fight
opens. There is only one place Ber
ry will accept and that is collector of
the port of Philadelphia, attached to
which Is a salary of $8,000. Ho
wants nothing else and confidently
predicts that he will win the covet
ed prize, despite opposition of party
leaders in Philadelphia. There Is
much opposition, but friends of
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
want Berry out of the way for the
gubernatorial race and it is likely
Berry will get tho job he wants.

ONE OF THE RICHEST.
Pennsylvania is one of the rich
est states in the Union. It contains
45.215 squaro miles. It is 300 miles
widp at its widest part and Its great
est length is 180 miles. With its
7.GG5.000 peoplo it holds the sec
ond place in point of population. It
contains the third richest city in the
country, only Now York city and
Brooklyn passes Philadelphia In the
valuation of taxable property. It
has tho greatest railroad system in
the country, though holding tho sixth
place in respect of its total mileage.
In the list of the 100 largest cities
In the United States, seven are In the
State of Pennsylvania, and there" are
In the State 14 G incorporated places
of 5000 or more inhabitants. In den
sity of population Pennsylvania holds
the sixth rank among the states, with
171 population to tho squaro mile.
In 1911 tho railway mileage in tho
State was 11,340.58 miles; In 1909,
the latest figures Just now available,
there were only 3364 miles of what
are called "improved" public high
ways In tho state, and this Is the
point of present Interest.
The total mileage of all public
roads in the United States is 2,199,
645 miles, and the total mileage of
all Improved roads Is 190,476.
Among the eight states "having
largest mileage of Improved roads"
in the United States the name of
Pennsylvania does not appear. In

APRIL 22, 1013.
Wisconsin, which was wilderness
when Pennsylvania was a settled
Commonwealth, there are 10,107
miles of improved public roads; in
Pennsylvania there are 3.3C4 miles.
In the list of 18 "States showing the
greatest percentage of improved
roads" in 1909 tho name of Pennsyl
vania did not appear. In the list of
eleven States showing "tho greatest
progress" in road building in the
five-year period between 1904 and
1909 Pennsylvania ranked seventh.
With its population of more than
7,000,000, its great cities, its im
mense wealth represented by prop
erty assessed for taxation, at CO per
cent, of its actual market value, at
$5,783,G88,320, tho imperial State of
Pennsylvania "the Keystone State"
built 1204 miles of "improved"
public roads, or about 240 miles the
year, or about 110 inches per capita.
That is not an achievement, surely,
of which one of the oldest and most
civilized states in the Union should
be very proud; but it is set down in
the official reports as "gain," and in
its day of small things Pennsylvania
should have full credit for what it
has done. There have been stretches
of years when It did not do anything
at all to make Its paths straight.
Bulletin 41, United States office
of Public Roads, gives the total mil
eage of public roads in Pennsylvania
as 87,387 miles, of which 2,891 were
macadam, 29 miles brick and 43G
miles gravel, Isn't that a record of
which tho State founded by Wil
liam Penn should be proud? Phila

HARRISBURG LETTER
The Sheatz mothers' pension bill,
providing for a commission of not
more than seven nor less than five
and an appropriation of $100,000,
was passed finally In the House last
week by a vote of 188 to 5, after a
debate in which George A. Baldwin,
Beaver, had declared that the bill
was based on the wrong theory and
that the present poor laws offered
all tho relief necessary. Mr. Bald
win, at first moved to postpone the
bill, but was defeated and then re
newed his attack on the measure as
ill advised legislation.
Mr. Strauss, Berks; Mr. Watson,
Indiana, and Mr. Piper, Philadelphia,
argued for the bill, Mr. Watson say
ing that Mr. Baldwin s statement
that pensions wero granted only for
service to the State did not deserve
consideration because there could be
no greater service than the rearing
of children in a proper manner. Mr,
McClintock, Philadelphia, closed tho
discussion, speaking in favor, of the
measure. The bill goes to the Sen
ate for concurrence in the House
amendments.
The House also passed by a vote
of 172 to 5 tho Jones bill for pro
viding for appointment of a country
life commission of seven persons to
promote tho agricultural Interests of
the State by Investigation, sugges
tion and reports with a vlow of In
creasing fertility of tho soil and the
bringing of products to tho consum
ers with tlie greatest economy. An
appropriation of $10,000 is carried
This bill is one of tho Republican
Stato Convention committee's meas
ures.
Mr. Kttts, Erie, objected to tho
presentation of any additional bills,
giving notlco aftor two had been
handed In by unanimous consent that
he would object to any In future on
the ground that tho House had set
March 17 as the last day for new
bills and an unprecedented number
was before tho Legislature. The
bill to increase salaries of clerks in
the department of mines was defeat
ed 86 to 78.
The House passed finally:
Authorizing nppointment of ten
special agricultural Instructors to
counsel farmers and appropriating
$40,000 for salaries and expenses;
permitting sale of articles manu
factured by Inmates of State institu
tions for benefit of such persons: reg
ulating appeals from reports of
school auditors: providing an in
demnity plan in sales of trees, vines
plants, seeds, etc.: regulating juris
diction in service of papers in di
vorce: providing that hospitals main
taining physcopathlc wards shall be
entitled to $2 per day from the
State for each patient; establishing
time in which an election may be
held on Increase of municipal in
debtedness for tho same purpose and
subjects as defeated at a previous"
election: authorizing county control
lers in counties having less than
150,000 population to appoint soli
cltors at $1,000 per year; providing
for oral examination of judgment
debtor for purpose of discovering
whether ho has property which may
be subject to execution; regulating
practice of surveying under act of
185G; establishing in third class cit
ies houses of detention for delin
quent, dopondent or neglected chil
dren; requiring reports of cases of
lead poisoning and other occupa
tional diseases.
The resolution submitting to tho
voters of Pennsylvania the proposi
tion to issue bonds to tho amount of
$50,000,000 for construction of
highways, which has been an object
of discussion in the .House of Repre
sentatives for almost a month, was
passed nnally in that branch of the
Legislature Thursday night by a vote
of 189 to 2. Tho measure was or
dered sent to the Senate for concur
rence in amendments to correct typo
graphical errors and if passed in
that branch, which is expected, will
bo laid before tho voters at the 'No
vember election.
The resolution was taken up in
regular order and John R." K. Scott,
Philadelphia, who had made a fight
to keep It in tho roads committee
last week, called attention to the
fact that the Attorney-General had
informed the House that no enabling
legislation for issuance of bonds
could be passed this session. Ho
declared that he was opposed to the
amendment as ho did not consider
that the State needed to issue bonds
for highways, calling attention to
the fact that taxation bills, which
are pending will raise between $6,
000,000 and $7,000,000.
He said that ho did not think that
Pennsylvania needed to borrow a
dollar and asked why a State so rich
and so liberal to charities should be
forced to go to tho money lenders.
The bill passed the Senate on
March 11, and has been in the House
since that date.
SISSON FOR GOVERNOR.
Attorney General Proposed ns Best
Candidate for Stato Executive by
tho "Sonntngsbote."
Many men have recently been
mentioned as available candidates
for the governorship as successor of
Governor Tenor, but none of them
seem to have the qualities and abili
ties, which would recommend them
to us as acceptable timber for the
highest office in tho State of Penn
sylvania. 'There Is ono man, though, who,
we confidentially believe, would
meet all requirements for a capa
ble stato executive, who would give
a good account of himself and also
would as a man of liberal views have
most certainly receive the support of
the German-American element.
This man is A. E. Sisson, at pres
ent auditor general of the Keystone
State. The "Sonntagsbote" proposes
him as tho best man available for
tho governorship and hopes that he
will accept the candidacy when his
legions pr rriends, who aro only
waiting for the opportune moment
to ao so, will launch the formal
boom, which, we are confident, will
result In his nomination and election
with an overwhelming majority.
Mr. Sisson is a native of Erie, Pa..
and during his entire career has
proved himself a thoroughly honest
and capable man. He has the confi
dence of his friends and the general
public, who know, that as governor,
he would bo tho right man in the
right place. During his present term
of office, which ends on May 1, he
has saved the state and the taxpay
ers 'many thousands of dollars by
forcing tho corporations, which
heretofore always had succeeded in
evading the payment, to come up to
time with their taxes. Tho receipts
of tho state treasury have, by his
energy and activity, been increased
by many hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Sisson for Governor! Ho would
be the right man for tho right place.
POPE BETTER, BUT STILL WEAK
Pontiff Takes More Nourishment and
Physicians Look For His Recovery.
Rome, April 121. Although the pope
still Is weak and Is subject to periods
of depression which have a large ele
ment of danger in them, it is thought
(hat his Increased ability to take nour
ishment is a most favorable sign.
With more food entering his system
his strength Is returning. It Is thought
by Ills physicians that he soon will be
out of danger. Ills pulse now Is nor
mal "0 to ", compared with more
than 100 at the height of his fever.
Tho pope suffered from coughing
spells, which came Intermittent!. At
times these periods were exhausting.
But the bronchial affection on the left
side is diminishing. For five days now
there has been practically no fever.
Tho call of the pope's brother, An-
gelo Sarto, postmaster of the village
of Grazle, was a tender episode. There
is a difference In ago between them of
only ono year, but Angclo, with his
robust frame, seemed ten years young
er than the pope, who nppeared thin,
languid and pale. Dr. Mnrchlafava,
who was present nt tho meeting, de
clared that tho scene was so touching
that his own eyes wero wet.
The presence of the members of his
family around him has inspired tho
pope with new vigor, and the bright
sunshine flooding his room caused him
to exclaim, "On such a day as this I
cannot imnglno that any ono could bo
111."
Rumors of various kinds continue to
bo circulated, and it has oven been ro
ported that Dr. Ettore Marchiafavn
and Dr. Andrea Aralci have quarreled
over the case. One report had It that
Dr. Amlci Insisted 'hat the pope
should have last communion, but that
Dr. Marchlafava opposed this In order
to avoid the shock which this might
cause the patient This report is ab
surd, ns the pope has taken commun
ion overy day since his Illness began,
bo that In tho words of the pontiff
himself, "Death will not find me un
oreDared." Clyde Leftwich, for the last three
years employed In the Gurney Eleva
tor shops, expects to move to New
ark, N. J., in the near future where
he has secured employment nt his
