In announcing myself as a candi date for the office of Associate Judge, I have concluded it was proper to make a public statement of the course I intend to pursue. 1 have for a long time thought, and have frequently so expressed myself, that it was out of order for a candidate to go from house to house soliciting votes. My opinion is and has been, that a public announcement that the person desires to have the office, should be sufficient, allowing each voter to exercise his own judgment as to whom he will support for the place. If my theory is correct, and I think i t is, it is emphatically correct, when a person aspires to sit in judgment even in a subordinate capacity upon the rights or doings of his fellow men. He should then have no partialities or prejudices to bias his judgment, I am not saving this to criticise or censure what others have done or may do here after. The practice of canvassing from house to house has become so universal, that it is generally regarded as necessary to insure success. Eut we all know, that success does not always follow canvassing. There are three aspirants for the place that I am seeking. Two must be defeated, though they canvass "never so wisely." I should like very much to meet and become acquainted with my fellow Democrats throughout the county, and my failure to do so is not from any in difference as to the result of the elec tion. I shall feel very thankful for the vote of every man who feels wili ng to give me his support But I ihall decline to make a canvass of the county for the purpose of soliciting votes. As to my claim for the support of my Democratic friends, I shall simply say, that I am a Democrat and have been from my boyhood, I have never held and never asked for a county crke. As there has always been plenty of patriotic men willing to serve the jmblic in an official capacity, I had no reason to expect office without asking for it. There are two and only two essen tial qualifications needful to accepta bly fill this or any other office, viz. honesty and capability. I place honesty first as being of the most iro p rtance. Without honesty the more capacty a man has, the more danger o. s he becomes, if disposed to use that capacity for base or dishonorable purposes. My fellow citizens can learn more about my qualifications by a little inquiry, than they can by see ing me face to face, unless they are remarkably expert physiognomists. I will cheerfully answer anv ques tion as to my position upon any sub ject, that may have a bearing upon my duties as a public official if elect ed. That answer can be held as a record in black and white for or against me as the case may be. As to my competitors, I have not one word to say against them. They are so far as I know both honorable men. If it were not so, their faults would not benefit me. James I. Campbell. STATE COLLEGE. The thirty-seventh annual com mencement of the Pennsylvania State College will long be remembered by the friends of the institution as the crowning event in the history of its achievements. From the very able, earnest, warm baccalaureate sermon by the Rev. Dr. Colfelt on Sunday June 13 to the brilliant Assembly, participated in by over five hundred of tbe gay and festive. On Wednesday evening following, all was indicative of the growth and ever increasing, influence of this our beloved State College. The build ings, the campus, the farms, the weather, all were pei feet ; and it has been well said that perfect weather in this mountain a.r has invigorating, enlivening influence that must aug ment the happiness of an occasion Lke this. Monday the class of 1 S97 held their exercises on the campus and the revival of this old practice was greeted with pleasure by alL The annual inter class athletic con test which followed, demonstrated most clearly that the boys had not suffered ph.vsicaliy while they were preparing their literary work, the scope and completeness of which was most satisfactorily proven at the Junior Oratorical Contest in the evening. The judges were ex-Judge Krebs, of Clearfield ; Lawyer J. C. Myers, of Bellefonte, and Captain Pratt, of the Carlisle Indian SchooL The winner was Robert Kerr Stevenson, Morris Run ; his topic, " Building a Monu ment." Tuesday was a busy day. The an nual meeting of the alumni was first on the program and the attendance was unusually good. J. P. McCreary was elected president, Prof, J. Price Jackson Secretary and Treasurer and Gabriel Hiester of Harrisburg, alumni member of the Board of Trustees. Following the meeting of the alumni was that of the Board of Trus tees. The only absentees among elected members were Hon. Francis Jordan, Harrisburg ; Hon. George W. Hooo, Indiana, and Hon. Andrew Carnegie, Pittsburg. President Jor dan is ill, and General Beaver was ap pointed Chairman pro tem. At the alumni dinner, in the armor)-, the guests were the Faculty, the delegates, the class of '97 and their friends the Juniors acting as servitors. General Beaver, as Chair man, was in his pleasantest mood ; " knee deep in clover," he expressed it The first speaker was Captain Pratt, of the Indian School at Carlisle, two of whose students enter State College next year. For these he ask ed the welcome that would make them glad that they came and that they should not be made to feel the deso lation that is an abomination. " We, as a people,'' he said, " take in hun dreds of thousands of foreigners and of another language and permit them to become of us. We admit the ne gro to our families and to all the privileges of our own people, but our poor Indian brother, whom we have driven from the land, we hold as in a prison, and with ignorant, unsym pathetic jailers. They have the same thoughts and feelings we have, and, coming among us, should be treated so they will stay." Other speakers were : Ex-Judge Krebs, of Clearfield, for the State ; Dr. Laurence M. Colfelt, tor the Faculty ; Hon. Charles W. Stone, for the Trustees ; J. P. McCreary, M. S., for the Alumni, and William Mitchell Whitten, President of the class of '97, for the " Maiden Speech of the Alumni." The speech of Mr. McCreary was bright with wit and poetical allusion, and in good part an answer to all that had been said before it Reference was made to the early days when the students had to pick stone and pull weeds for their athletic training and prize contests, and to the disorder prevailing under one management when the pupils petitioned the trus tees for a change of principal because of the lack of discipline. At the meeting of the delegates in the afternoon forty votes were cast Philadelphia county was represented for the first time in the history of the college, the Pennsylvania Horticultur al Society sending John Burton, Chest nut Hill, as its representative. The business of the meeting was to elect four trustees to serve three years. The choice was Hon. Francis Jordan, Harrisburg ; Colonel R. H. Thomas, Mechanicsburg ; Cyrus T. Fox, Read ing, and General James A. Beaver, Bellefonte. ADDRESS TO THE ALUMNI. The address of Hon. S. J. M. Mc Carrell before the Alumni was worthy of the man and of the men to whom it was addressed. It was Senator McCarrell's first visit to State College, and like all others who have come with prejudices and preconceived ideas of things here, he confessed to exceeding amazement The subject of the address was the duty educated men and women owe to the State. The dangers besetting republics in the past have come from the lack of an educated citizenship reaching down and giving it cohesive force. As the three forces through which educated men can aid largely he named the home in teaching obedience to con stituted authority ; in the Church, in reverencing God and upholding the duty of worshipping Him ; in the school, by sympathy and co-operation with the teachers. As an answer to the word said recently in the Senate that State College had produced nothing. Senator McCarrell referred to a long list of the Alumni who were rilling places of responsibility, and said : " If, like the city of Florence, ine county of Centre should decide to erect a monument to each of the great men who had gone out from it Professor Hamilton would have to in crease the nnmber of his highways to make place for them." It was a graduate from State College, he said, who planned the harnessing of Niagara. Following the meeting was the " Cremation " by the Sophomores, a reception at the Inn by one of the more distant fraternities, and a parade through the midst of it by the "Naughty Naughts," as the "OO" clas is known, in a costume they have adopted as their own. The attendance on Wednesday was just a little more than the town could comfortably accommodate. 1 ne audience in tne cnapel was very large and enthusiastic With Governor Hastings, the speaker of the cay, were members of his Cabinet and members from both House and Senate, and the large platform of the chapel was crowded to the edge. The orations were : By John Tonner Harris, Bellefonte, on "Americanism;" Edward Reber Heilig, Reading, "Our Hero ;" John Edmund Schueler, Bal timore, Mi, "The Triumph of Democracy," and William Mitchell Whitten, Slippery Rock. "The Euro pean Incumbrance ;" Ermin Forest Hill, Hughesville, was valedictorian. Governor Hastings had followed all that had been said closely, and had, sometimes, when there were points that particularly pleased him, led in the applause. In his address, after expressing his gratification at the progress making by the institution and the excellence of the work it is doing, and commenting favorably up on the live, up-to-date topics chosen by the graduates for both orations and the manner of treating them, he congratulated such of the class as had their own living to make and must be come producers. The first thing, he said, must be to find out for what they were fitted their special talent. The shores of life, he said, were strewn with wrecks of those who at tempted to follow one pursuit when qualified for another. CONFERRING OF DEGREES. The degree of Bachelor of Science was conferred upon thirty-seven can didates and advanced degrees and degrees not in course upon nine a.? plicants who had passed regular ex aminations. Among these was Dr. George G. Groff of Lewisburg. The announcement of the day was that all departments of the college in all their appliances would be open lor the six weeks beginning with July for the use of those of the Freshman class who desired it, and to give the teachers of the State the facilities of the shops and laboratories. We trust that many of our teachers may be able to take advantage of this very liberal offer. Those in attendance from Columbia County were H. V. White a Trustee, A. C. Creasy, E. H. Sloan and F. P. Hagenbuch delegates from the Agri cultural Society, Mrs. Norman John M. Fairchild, Isaac Heacock and John Bowman as visitors. All were cordially received and very well enter tainei They speak in warmest terras of their visit and most emphatically recommend State College for young men desiring a thorough education at a pleasant, healthful and moral atmos phere. EXPERIMENT STATION WORK. For testing results from using differ ent fertilizers 144 plots are used and so arranged that corn, oats, wheat and grass come in regular rotation each year, each crop having the same fertilizer.

Wheat, oats and potatoes are tested each year and all new varieties taken, tried and report ed so that farmers may be saved the expense and annoyance of experiment ing with worthless seed. Tests for Nitrogen gatherers have proven very interesting. Clover, peas c, are grown upon a plot and when mature the soil is dug up two feet deep, the roots gathered, washed and analyzed and it is thus shown which is doing the most to enrich the soiL A sugar-Lea test is being made this season that will no doubt prove very profitable. Seed was secured from the U. S. Government and dis tributed to fifty farmers who will grow the beets, report the yield and send samples to the station tor analysis. In the poultry yard they have shown that the food given the hens may be tested .1 - r -.1 . . 1 in mc eggs, iiany oiner tests are ue ing made in the feeding and treatment ot fowls that no doubt will prove of intere-t and vaiue to the farmer es pecially in these Gays wnen there is good profit in poultry farming if pro perly conducted. the dairy. It is well worth the expense of the trip to the College to see and hear about the herd of Guernseys. Mostly grades, only a few registered these thirty cows have shown an average for the past year of over 350 pounds of butter each. The little cow '-Ramona'' reported last season, has closed her second year with a credit of over one thousand pounds of butter for the two years. Do our farmers ever calculate the possibilities of their cows ? Out of this herd of 30 cows, 20 will be sold this fall to make room for the same number of heifers that will come in during the summer. The creamery is doing an active and profitable business. Over two thousand pounds of milk comes in daily from the adjoining farmers in addition to that received from this station and farm herds. In addition to the butter produced, small cheese is being made from whole milk and the indications are that this will prove a profitable business. It requires but two hours to make it and it will ripen in any ordinary cellar. It would not do to omit mention of the "Milking machine." This is a simply constructed device that is operated by a man or boy with ease and milks two cows in seven minutes delivering over ao quarts of milk in the bucket "as natural as life." We can't do justice to the many things to be seen at the State College and must close with the injunction "Go and see for yourself." MARRIED. DORMAN HXRTMA.V.
