THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1905.
SENATOR COCHRAN.
The resolutions passed at the
recent ounty convention set forth
in a particular'' brilliant manner
such good, wholesome advice that
it is worthy of reproduction and of
the earnest consideration of every
loyal Democrat.
We refer especially to that clause
which says "It behooves us then as
Democ ats to siuk individual as
pirations and personal preferences,
and get together for the common
good of the Democratic cause, and
mite upon the strongest possible
indidate. Let us therefore choose
r our candidate a man whose high
.laract r, unquestioned fairness
id honesty will appeal to all class
, and cause all factions to rally to
..is support: a man who has led the
party to victory in the past" and
should have added "will do it a
gain." While the above was
meant to apply to our Congression
al District, it applies with equal
force to our Senatorial district.
Columbia County is the pivotal
point for not only the Congressional,
but the Senatorial District as w ell.
Let us revhw the situation for a
moment. The last Presidential
election returns for this Senatorial
District, which is comprised of Col
umbia, Sullivan, Montour and Ly
co.. ing Counties, shows the total
rote as follows:
Parker Roosevelt
Columbia 4194 3635
Lycoming 6414 8928
Northumberland 5921 112 19
Montour 1352 151S
17881 25300
ioosevelt's majority 7419
In the face of these figures, and
of the general political conditions
throughout the country The Col
umbian is of the opinion that the
only Democrat who cau carry this
Senatorial District with absolute
certainty is Honorable J. Henry
Cochran, our present State Senator.
If he can be persuaded to accept
the nomination in 1906, by all
means let us give it to him without
a contest. He is the acknowledged
leader ot the Democratic side of
the Senate. Although the Repub
lican majority in the Senate is quite
laree. vet so strone is Mr. Coch
ran's personality in the Senate as a
body, and his personal influence
among the members individually
that his advice and warnings
against vicious legislation have
been heeded in tnanv instances
He is a safe man. Then why not
keep him if we an?
He is a safe candidate. First
becnuse he can be elected, and his
official acts in the past have stamped
him as a man ot honor, and of un
swerving Democracy.
When it comes to representative
mces such as members of the Leg
islature or the Senate, or of Con
gress, it should be remembered that
it takes years ot application to be
come familiar with the duties in
volved, or to become really useful
to serve he people's best interests.
When the right man is found he
should be retained as long as he
will consent to remain.
We do not care whether our Rep
resentative's name is Jones, Smith
Brown neither do you. But what
is of deep interest to us all is:
First, that we have an honest,
IN THE COUNTY

capable Representative, ot recog-
nizea aoiiiiy.
Second, a loyal Democrat.
Third, a man who can win at the
polls, a man whose life and char
acter as displayed in his private and
official life, command the respect
of his fellow-men, and invite the
confidence and votes of members of
all parties.
In Mr. Cochran we have all
these, and a winning candidate.
Let us then tender him the nomi
nation without opposition, and per
suade him to accept it. Why
should we take any chances with a
new or untried candidate?
We have already lost our Demo
cratic Congressman; let us then
lake timely warning, and be guided
V the spirit of a mire and broad
Democrarv which dues not permit
any man's personal ambition to be
come creator than his partv. and
thus inipei il the best interests nf
ne party ne would represent.
Our reduced maioritv shows 11s
that it is time to break away from
petty politics and petty policies.
1 he intelligent voter of to-day
emands an acaressive partv of
broad-minded principles to meet the
requirements of this progressive age,
and a candidate with a record of
ccomplishment. Senator Cochran
meets every demand. He can win.
Johnston aud Hidlay Ke-appointed
W. C. Tolinston. Esci.. is aaan
solicitor for the Bloomsburg Poor
uisincc, ana w. u. Hidlav is the
treasurer. These gentlemen it will
be remembered, formerly filled these
same positions. Last fall they were
supplanted bv T. T. Vanrierslire.
Ksq., as solicitor, and M. Milleisen
as treasurer. The resignation of
one of the directors, W. B. Allen,
made a vacancy on the board which
was filled by the appointment ol
Francis R. Drake The di
held a meeting on Saturday, and
by tne votes of Lves aud Drake,
Vanderslice and Milleisen were
dropped, aud Johuston and Hidlay
were re-instatea.
These changes in the board an-
pointmeuts are merely the changes
in me political wheel. Last fall
when Johnston and Hidlay were
removed there was no reason for it
except that others had a stronger
pull with the board. Now the
complexion of the board has
changed again, and those who were
removea at an unusual time are re
instated, also at an unusnal time.
These changes have about as much
loaowitnthe recent Register anp
Recorder fight as the man iu the
moon.
Shipping Huckleberries
Shipments of huckleberries on a
small scale are being made from
various points in the region. The
season opened up somewhat earlier
than was expected. It was thought
that the cold weather in the fore
part of this month would retard the
ripening of the berries, but this
drawback was offset by the intense
beat of the past week.

GRAFT IB RAD POLITICS.
Folk Declares People Can Correct
C'vlo
Evils Whenever Thoy Want To.
In an address before the Ken
tucky Bar Association at Cincinna
ti, O., lust week on "The Reign
of Law," Governor Jose ph M. Folk
ot Miosmri, said:
"When a city "gels bad it is be
cause of the indifference of good
citizens. The strength, of the law
less is great, but it i-i nothing when
it comes in contact with an aroused
public conscience. St Louis show
ed that when the people there,
weary of the domination of corrupt
ionists, rose up and overthrew them.
Philadelphia at last awoke from her
slumbers and determined to do
something. The strength of the
gang was great, but it was shatter
ed by the shalts of public opinion,
under the leadership of Mayor
Weaver.
"What was done in St. Louis,
what is being done in Philadelphia,
can be done in Cincinnati or any
other place. The people cati cor
rect civic evils whenever they want
to. and cet 111st as pood government
as they deserve or as bad a govern
ment as they stiller it to become.
The l"wless do not care anv-
thing for law so long as they con
trol pontics and olticials. 1 hey do
not kuoweood from bad. All thev
know is politics. But they do
kr.o.v good politics from bad poli
tics. When thev are tatifht here
o
and everywhere that lawlessness is
bad politics, the problem of uood
' l n
government will be near solution.
"Whatever violations of law are
tolerated, it leads to grafting on the
part of some officials for nerniittincr
I ry
such violations. Especially is this
true when the law denounces the
thine:, such as pamhliinr. Whorp
it is run openly, with the know
ledge of officials, it is reasonably
COrtaill somebody is rrettitur a crMff
Not that all officials graft, bv any
means, for the majority of officials
do the best they can, but some
where along the line there is some
body who 'gets his' in the vernacu
lar of the gambler."
TO USE ELEUTRIO FAN
The reason tha ' 'electric fan cold"
is so often accompanied by a sore
throat is, according to a prominent
physician, that tb- draught made
by the fan carries so much dust
with it. "The fact is." says this
authority, "that the air stirred by
the fan is not fresh air, unless the
fan is backed up against an open
window. When operating in an
inside room or in similar places,
where it is most appreciated, the
fan uses the same air over and over,
and this air gathers up and keeps
in motion all the available dust.
People who dont catch cold are
sometimes affected by this dust, and
show symptoms either of sore throat
or of nose troubles akin to catarrh.
The right way to arrange a fan is
to so arrange that all the air with
which it is supplied comes from
outside."
Boyd F. Maize, Esq. special agent
for the Caledonian Insurance Com
pany, of Scotland, spent Sunday
afternoon and Monday with his
parents in town.
His headquarters are at 423
Walnut Street, Philadelphia. His
territory is an unusually large one,
coveting six states, in which he
settles law suits, adjusts claims and
appoints agents. The multifarious
duties of the position gives him bu t
little leisure. He expects to be at
borne again in two or three weeks.
Important Decision.
A decisiou handed down in the
United States Circuit Ccurt by
Judge Hazel, of importance to the
manufacturers of pianolas, phono
graphs, music-boxes, and automat
ic musical apparatus, holds that re
cords and perforated paper rolls
used in the reproduction of musical
compositions are not infringements
of the composer's copyright.

Dr. Eveland Leavos Eleclion ot President
Entirely With Board ot Directors.
After a session lasting from noon
on Friday until midnight, the newly-elected
Board of Directors of
Dickinson Seinimry, WiUiamsport,
adjorned without electing a presi
dent of that institution.
Rev. Dr. Eveland, Bloomsburg,
who was elected by the old Board of
Directors on June 9, declined the
place, with the request the new
board be free to vote for whom they
wanted. A numberof the members
of the new board are said to be
friends of Rev. Emery M. Stevens,
of WiUiamsport, aud wanted to have
him elected, but Rev. Mr. Stevens
declined to have his name present
ed. It was finally decided to post
pone the election until all the mem
bers of the hoard could be present,
several beuig absent at Friday's
meeting. Prof Clarence E. Mc
Closkey was elected dean of the
faculty.

Will Have Base Bull
Events oft he past few days would
seem to indicate that Bloomsburg
is to have good base ball during ,
the summer. The organization of
a club that will give the townspeo
ple base ball of the sort that Nor
mal has furnished for the past two
months, has been under discussion
for some time. The initiation was
taken on Friday when a subscrip
tion to raise funds for the purchase
of uniforms was' circulated. So
ready and encouraging was the re
sponse that the projectors decided
to get together at once and form
the plans and get the association 011
a proper footing. Accordingly a
meeting was held Monday evening
at which time Geo. B. Hunt was
elected president. Jas. C. Brown,
treasurer and Paul R. Eyerly sec
retary. Bion Ilagenbucli, who has
111 the past demonstrated his ability
in a similar capacity was elected
manager and coach, with Chas.
Taylor, as assistant manager.
The club will be run on the co
operative plan. Everybody works
for nothing until the end of the
season, when if there are any funds
in the treasury they will be divided
among the players.
This plan was tried at Hazleton
last season and proved successful.
The city had gojd ball all summer,
and the team is being ruu in the
same way this year.
It now remains to be seen wheth
er or not the people will patronize
base ball ia town. That there is
material for a good team was shown
two weeks ago, when some of the
players who will compose the pro
posed team, without any practice
to speak of, defeated Normal 4 to 3,
and that too when Normal had her
best men on the field.
The players are practicing night
ly, and coach Hagenbuch is watch
ing the work of each candidate
very carefully. He says that no
favoritism whatever will be shown,
and that no one will get a place on
the team until he has proven bis
worth.
Here's hoping that the proposi
tion wins out.
Wonderful Milk Producer
"There is a cow," pays Prof. L.
H. Bailey in Country Life in Amer
ica, "which is now eleven years
old. Last year her record was 17,
400 pounds of milk, with a maxi
mum daily yield of seventy-seven
and three-quarter pounds. This
year she has given as high as ninety-three
pounds a day, and she
will probably exceed her former
record. In other words, here is a
cow that every month produces her
own weight in milk. She is a
most efficient milk producing ma
chiue." Bfiitca Telephone Company.

the State Department at Harrisburg
