represented Mrs. Anna Reynolds, prosecutrix, together with the genuine cooperation of District Attorney Andrew T. Park and Assistant District Attorney Chauncey E. Pruger. who ably represented tha coeimsa wealth.

Honorable oocupailon has given way to rackets, Our educational systeaa is being criticized. Our men with. money are accused of being to the point of indifference. Oar industries that one made Pittsburgh the workshop of the world are gradually moving' out, cither to tax exempt communities where such Indus tries fed they can thrive and develop to their largest possibilities.

a Perhaps the most striking illustration of the backwardness and shallow mmdedness is the pitiable failure of our representatives in Ilarrisburg to repeal the Blue Laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Surely, any citizen, who can bring himself to believe that our modern day life is not safe without the restricting influence and prohibitions of laws over one hundred yearn old, is not fit to represent a community seeking to liberate itself from moss back laws and worn out traditions. Perhaps the most senseless and spineless act on the part of any Legislature in the history of the State was the refusal to repeal the Blue Laws. What are we coming to? It is senseless and futile to say that Pittsburgh is not a Christian community; and yet, it is just as senseless to say that people can be made Christians by a A. legislation.

People are Christians because they want to be. Pennsylvania is just as safe without the Blue Laws as it 2 ii is wiuu mem, ana possiwy more so. We are told thr hp i cannot play baseball on. Sunday. We are prevented from taking our wives and sweethearts to a moving picture or theater on Sunday.

We cannot, under the laws, as they now stand, exercise the common, ordinary freedom which ought to go. with decent citizenship. Something wfl have to be done for Pittsburgh. Some srn wwj lu nave to rise up and take charge cf the situation. Our politicians ha vis served their day and generation.

16 The eyes of the riation were trained on the White House Saturday when Eddie Savoy. 78 year old doorkeeper extraordinary in the office of the Secretary of State, became the recipient of an extraordinary and unprecedented honor at the hands of the Chief Executive of the land. Learning that Savoy was retiringe after 62 years of continuous ice in the State Department, during which time the veteran doorkeeper is known to have averted many a clash between Indignant, foreign diplomats by adroitly keeping theen out of sight of each ether while waiting; for their protestations to be heard. President. Roosevelt ordered his personal carriage to Savoy's home.

"Wist did the President tell you," he was asked by reporters. people are dissatisfied. They want an outlet, and they are going to have it. Time was when the BepubScaa organization tried, to some degree, at least, to express the wishes of the people. Those days are dead and gone forever.

The action of our State Legislature in refusing to repeal the Clue Laws is a sound to arms for Pciizurytvaniaiis.
