Mr. Penrose and Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican National Committee have given orders to their lieutenants in the two houses that Congress musit adjourn early in June. The Republican leaders of the House have talked a great deal, for home consumption. They have taken great pains to get their boast sand brags into the newspapers. Representative Tom Connally, of Texas, in a speech in the House, defined the attitude of the Republicans. He was advising Representative Graham, Republican, of Illinois, chairman of the special committee on expenditures in the War Department, to qiht criticizing and offer something constructive. There had been clamoring because it was said that the War Department had on hand great masses of all kinds of material which ought to be disposed of and turned back into the useful lines of commerce, said Mr. Connally. "After resolutions have been adopted and the Secretary of War notified that such articles must be dig/posed of, the Gentleman (Representative Graham) comes back into the House and makes a complaint here because the Secretary of War has on hand so few of the very articles which he and his committee have been declaring should have been disposed of," said Mr. Connally. "They have been denouncing the Secretary of War for his neglect in not selling supplies and now condemn him for .having too little." The Republican Senate has ceased to function as a deliberative body because of the aspirations, of its leaders to win the Presidency. Here is the list of these Republican aspirants: Senators Harding, of Ohio; Johnson, of California; Lenroot, of Wisconsin; Poindexter, of Washington, Borah, of Idaho; Lodge, of Massachusetts! Knox, of Pennsyl-i ; Sutherland, of West Virginia; Watson, of Indiana; La Follette, of Wisconsin, and Sherman, of Illinois. Several of these are only "dark horses," of course, but each seems to expect a call if a deadlock should come in the Chicago convention. Hiram Johnson, who is "Progressive" in the West and conservative in the North and the East, is causing the Old Guard leaders worry and serious concern. They fear his influence in the Republican national convention. The Penrose-Hays group see danger thead. The standpatters are uneasy also lest General Wood and Senator Johnson dynamite Senator Harding in Ohio. The Presidential worries qf the Republicans interfere with the business of Congress. With the House studiously and prayerfully hunting for political capital and the Senate launching and fostering Presidential booms, the people are getting the worst of the bad bargain made when they elected the Sixty-sixth Congress.

Said roads were either built under State Aid or were State Roads subject to maintenance by the county until improved by the1 State. Attention is called to the passage of the Burke Road Bill, which Mr. Sucro says "has several advantages over the present road law, in that it proides more money for roads, which is very much needed at this time to cope with the high price of labor, material, etc., and also to better care for our improved roads and build new roads of a more permanent character to carry the ever increasing motor truck traffic. Said bill also provides for a purchasing agent and a budget system, both of which should prove beneficial." Mr. Sucro further calls attention to the passage of the recent Act of Assembly changing the fiscal year of the county from May 1, to correspond with the calendar year, and expresses the opinion that this change "will greatly facilitate road maintenance during the early spring, as heretofore work could not begin until during the month of April, due to lack of funds." The hope is; expressed by Mr. Sucro that the Philadelphia Road will be taken over by the State and improved under Federal Aid. "This road," he says, "is the most direct route to Philadelphia and leads to the Government Proving Grounds, and if improved by the State and Government would greatly relieve the congested traffic of the Bel Air road, which is a State Road." He further says that "the 3 remaining miles of York road should also be completed this year, to meet with the improved road now under contract in the State of Pennsylvania, leading to York." Deep regret of the road department is expressed on account of the death of Joseph Harrison, who Mr. Sucro says was a "trustworthy superintendent, who has been connected with the department for the past twelve years, and whose energies and accomplishments were always a credit to him."
