DODGED THE VOTEf The record of representatives vot ing on tba final pnssnge of the bill to Ox the minimum pay of school teachers does not disclose the name of the member from Pike. Either he dodged or for some reison was unavoidably absent. Teachers who may be benefitted by the increase cannot thank him for ar.y aid, and tnxpayers who may be affected can not feel that his voice or vote was interposed to save them from the additional burden. lie ia not on record, and, therefore, no one knows his sentiments if he had any What do the people of the county send a representative to the legisla tare for, and of what earthly good to them are the men they send anyway? ERECTING NEW CO U TIES A bill is now pending in the legis latere enabling the erection of new connties and in the event of its passage one of the proposed new counties, to be oall Conemaugh, may be erected from parts of Westmor land, Indiana, Cambria and Somer set. It is explained that the county seat of Cambria is 35 miles by rail from Johnstown, a large centre of population, which entails on the people of that section a great hard ship. The new county would save to them both time and money in ronohing the county seat. Inasmuch as this measure in no wise effects us it would seem desirable, if it is for a publio good to any citizens of our state, that they should have the aid and assistance of those disinter ested. We shall hope to see the bill pass. HOPES OF A RAILROAD Everyone here hopes that the story of the Wabash road building a line through this county contains more truth than poetry. Such a road would be of inestimable benefit to the people in this section and would rank us ou the top bhelf of prosperity. If it came on a former survey, that is through the centre of the county, many of the ponds would be available for a supply of ice whioh would afford no iucon siderabld freight and business Many blue stone quarries would be opuuud aud an agricultural section most excellent for. grazing could be developed. By all means let Mr. Mould's system run over ns. We are right in its way if it wants to go from Wilkesbarre to Port Jervis. Dr. J. T. Rothrook has placed his resignation as commissioner of forestry in the governor's hands. Continued ill health is the reason assigned. If you are going to paiut this spring and want a gjort substantial job, do not be fooled by the "Kino aud grinding," "wears longer" and similar catch lines. Go and buy g K)d lead and as good quality of liusood oil as you can, and don't hi siij ou a few cents a gallon on the oil because the oil is really the essential point. The labor of put ting ou puiut costs as much as the inatDiiitl and the only satisfactory p iint is load and good oil and you d j tot got them iu the roaJy mixed C'UH'OC'.i.jus.

Methodist Church Jottings. (Hy Rev. C. K. Pitihikr.) The tojiio for rn'tl Sabbath morn ing is, "The Holy Catholic Church" and fur the evening Judas. Extensive plans are being mnrto for the Epworth group nieotina; to be held at Kparrowbusli nest Tues day evening. Refreshments will bo served at the church for all who come from a distance, so tlint the meeting can begin at ? o'clock prompt. The vesper service will be conducted by the writer, who is leader of the group. The question box will be conducted by Dr. Chad wick of Port Jervis, and the princi pal address will be made by Mr. Snoop of Matamnrns. The Epworth sewing circle met at the home of Mrs. B. E. Brown lust weok and enjoyed a very pleasant evening. It is the belief of the writer that the social life given our young people in the homes of Christian people is both wise and commendable. We need in these days a kind of holiness that pro vides for the whole naturo, social, intellectual, as well as spiritual. Questionable amusements are not at all necessary to the enjoyment of young life. This new departure among our people is most oommend- able. The conference year is rapidly drawing to a close. The financial interests of the church are being pushed for a final full settlement Tuis yetr has seen some additional expenses but the extra effort neces 8try to meet our full obligations is being made aud it looks as if the year wouldcloie with no deficiency If this is true, however, it means that all will need to do their part It might he well to remind our readers that paying up is a part of our religious obligation. The man who thinks that religion is so free that it never oosts him 2.V, usually has a religion that is not worth a quarter. Is not the man who takes his blessings from the church and refuses to pay for them as much of cheat as the man who does not pay his store bills? It is bad bus! ness to attempt to "rob God." Anti-trust Legislation There is some disposition to scoirat this sessions anti-trust legislation as farcical, especially on the part of newspapers and statesmen who scorn fully predicted that the republican party owned by the trust could he depended upon to see that nothing effective went through congress along these lines. What have the republi cans actually done? First, congress has given to anti trust cases the right of way in tho courts and appropriated money for more vigorous prosecution. Second, it enacted the Klkins law against rebates which strengthens the interstate commerce act and makes culpable the recipient as well as the giver of transportation rebates. Third, it has created a bureau of corporations with large powers to inquire into and make public the operations of corporations, extending even to the compelling of testimony regarding their operations. Here are three concrete enactments. Of course this trust legislation does not consti tute a "smasher," and that is what our democratic friends were trying to point out that the country was In need of. A treasury department statement shows that the trade between the United States and Porto ltico bus increased 600 per cent since we ac quired the island from Spain. The value of merchandise shiped from Porto llico to the United States in 1902 wttsf!,83l,176,guinstl, 913,251 in 1H97; and theValu? of merchandise shipped from the United States to Porto Kioo in 10112 was $12,195,207, against $2,023,751 in 1SU7. Winston Churchill, British author, soldier and politician if not statesman gave the British army u hard rap in parliament the other day. He declar ed that there were "fewer bayonets and sabers in the British army in proportion to the number of generals than in any army in the world, except the Venezuelan." The treasury bureau of statistics figures show that our internal com merce for 1002 amounted to over $20,000,000 twenty billion dollars. This estimate is nid le on the basis ot but one transaction between the pro ducer and the customer. If the business done by the middlemen were added the figures Wouid double. After a period of free-silver ttirtiiijf and a liasou with the so-culled inijK'riulism issue, coupled with militarism, we have the amusing .spu tmle of the old democratic party tiding buck to the iW'IniU'i and theories of (irover Cleveland, which brought the country to the brink ot indtisirial ruin. The Pope's silver jubilee extending from February 2'Uli to Match Iloih should carry comfort and warmth 1 to the I'lHvics of the heart of the "Commoner."

The subject next Sabbath morn ing will he 'The (ialilenn Crisis or The Begl ning of the End." The pastor has planned to close the series of discourses based upon the life of Jesus with Wood Friday. .We shnll now sen how tho storm gather ed about, that guileless, divine life until it broke in oil its fury during Passion Week. Easter and post resurrection themes will then follow. At tho communion service last Sabbath it whs our pleasure to wel come into the fellowship of our church Mrs. Mario Jardon and Miss Gertrude Alice Wuhiblo. We believe they bring us the blessing of earnest, devout lives and it is our prayer that they may alio receive the encouragement, sympathy, nnd nil other help that is in our power to bestow for their attainment of Christian graces. Last Monday afternoon it whs our sad duty to lay to rest one of our mout, faithful, earnest, and godly women, Miss Isabella Mitchell, who has been a member of our church since October 4, 1874. She was certainly n person of whom every, thing good is spoken. She hns been greatly missod already by those who were accustomed to gee her about the home or at the church services. Our sympathy is with all those who mourn Bnd especially with the sister who will miss her the most. The report has been received from the normal examination papers that were sent in Inst week and we are pleased that one paper was perfect while all received marks over ninety per cent. The second ex amination will probably be held some time next week. Next Sunday morning a special offering will be taken for the board of education nnd aid to colleges. Both are worthy objects. Next Monday evening the C. E. society will meet with Miss Emily Mitchell to arrange leaders for the next three mouths. Let all mem bers be present. The Ladies Aid will hold a social Thursday evening, Feb. 12, to which tho congregation is coidially in vited.

When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh wc say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply H milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. Tor all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat' rnent. . ' We w ill send you the penny, . ?,, a sample frc.

Loren Shay of this town has secur ed a position in a grocery store at Rutherford, N. J., and will take np his new duties on this Mondny morn ing. Loren was employed on a Newark trolley line, but resigned on Friday last tj accept the position at Rutherford. . The prospects of getting the prop osition of a town hall, for this town on the ticket this spring,, are not brilliant. Town meeting will be held at Centrevlllo and will remain there for some time, then why not put up a town hall where all the town business can be done. It Is like our railroad, so far in the future that it may never be seen. Some of onr roods have been so badly washed by tho heavy down pour of Saturday as to be almost impassable. The road repaired last year along the Big Flaturook and at considerable expense to the town will need, more exteusive repairs than were put on before. It was talked of changing that piece of road to higher ground and it should have been done. James Fuljer, Jr., conductor on a trolley line id Newark, has been spending a few days in this town.
