SMALL of Bloomsburg. FOR COUNTY AUDITOR, C. L. HIRLEMAN HARRY B. CREASY. EODT THE GRAFTERS Elihu Root, now Secretary of State in President Roosevelt's cab inet, has written a letter to Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia in which he expresses the opinion that the evidence in hand is ample to war rant the prosecution of all those concerned in the schemes to rob the city. He says that Philadel phia should be "relieved from the strain which a corrupt and crimin al combination, masquerading un der the name of Republicans, have put upon her." Mr. Root is rec ognized as the leader of the New York bar, and one of the ablest lawyers ot the country. He is a Republican and a close friend of the President. He denounces the Philadelphia gang of looters as a "criminal combination" that should be driven out of power, and advis es the Mayor to proceed with prose cutions against them. Some thick and thin "organiza tion" newspapers have been endeav oring to belittle Mayor Weaver's reform crusade by charging that it is only a political scheme headed by "that discredited Democrat James Gay Gordon," the Mayor's private counsel. Now that Secre tary Root has spoken it will be amusing to watch the attitude of these same subservient sheets. By a "corrupt and criminal com , bination" Mr. Root can refer only to Durham, McNichol, Lane and their followers, who have l;en the bead and front of the "organiza tion" which while "masquerading as Republicans" has owned Gover nors and legislatures and dominated the politics of the whole state. Mr. Root's letter in brief means simply "turn the rascals out" and Mayor Weaver is going tp do it. IN THE COUNTY Surplus and Undivided Profits $100,000. ALAS FOR UNCLE SAM. We fear tlint that grand old gen tleman, Uncle Samuel, U. S. A., has become infected with one of those modern fevers that do no good to anyone. In other words, he lias at last consented to officially recog nize the tipping habit, and thereby he grieves some millions of his nephews who had begun to hope that the conscience and common sense of the country were about to rebel successfully at organized piracy. But now conies the naval depart ment of the United States and in an order regulating the expenses of officers promulgates the following tariff including tips, that the gov ernment will pay : Hotel bills of commissioned offi cers not to exceed $5 a day. Single meals $1 each ; tip 10 cents. Tips on trains 50 cents a day. Tips will not be allowed on par lor cars, except on journey of five hours or longer. Tips at hotels 50 cents a day, but not to exceed $2 a week at one hotel. A commissioned naval officer is permitted to expend $3.50 a week on tips in foreign hotels, St. so a day on an ocean steamer during 6 days or less, and $1 a day for a 15 day trip or longer. These are not excessive, as tips, to be sure, but the pity is that the department should recognize the demands of the system of agreeing to allow anything at all. If naval officers want to help pay the wages of waiters, porters and stewards, they have that un doubted privilege. We don't see that the Uuited States the people, if you will is in duty bound to submit to the tribute of a lot of quasi-black-mailers. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. Democratic State Committee Rooms.

Somebody once asked the Duke of Wellington if speeches on the battlefield were really made as re ported, and what was tlu-ir effect. The Duke said: "What effect on the whole army can be made by a speech, since you cannot convenient ly make it heard by more than 1,000 men standing about yon?" Then the Duke was asked if it were not the fact that Napoleon delivered Fome rather notable ora tions on the fi.'ld. The Duke would not have it. "The proclamations you read of in the French army were much more seen in the papers than by the soldiers they were meant lor Paris!" It was allright, the Duke agreed, to address a regiment upon present ing it with colors and that sort of thing. On the whole, French troops might be more impressed by a speech than the English, who in the Duke's Waterloo army were, he declared, "the scum of the earth, who had all enlisted for drink." The French, with their system of conscription, had a fair sprinkling of all classes. "No" comments a writer, "all these martial obiter dicta which our histories treasure up for us were lor the most part never spoken at all The 'last words' of dvine men and the speeches made on the battlefield or the deck of an admiral's flagship ate not to be regarded as having been actually uttered. The famous "Up. guards and at 'em!" accredited to Wellington at Waterlco was never spoken. Wellington him self denied it. If it had been said it would have been forgotten. "What happened at Waterloo was this: Wellington sent an orderly to give certain instructions during the battle to an English general, and upon the galloper's return asked: "Did you give General my orders?" 'Yes your grace' was the reply. 'And what did he say?' ,He said he'd see your grace firs'-. ' The Duke swept the field with his glass, then quietly muttered: By , he's right, too!' " A GANG OF TRAITORS. The members of the last legisla ture may read with profit the scath ing rebuke administered to them and their administration at the re cent meeting of the State Bar asso ciation at Bedford, Pa. In terse terms they were styled a gang of traitors who had violated their oaths and who now instead of being tree men should be under indict ment for perjury. The manner in which they bowed the head to the will of political bosses instead of carrying out the mandates of the law m neglecting to provide for a re-apportionment ot the districts of the State and their absolute refusal to consider the question of personal registration, made them anything but representatives of the people and their service a disgrace to the State. Creating new offices and en larging the salaries of old ones were the chief duties ot this last Legisla ture, said the president of the Bar association, and thisopinioii is shar ed by a majority of the citizens of the State who now look with ex pectancy on the upheaval in Phila delphia, from where it may spread throughout the State until the rul iug bosses have been cast adrift by the force of public condemnation.

Interesting Decisions Handod Down, The Superior Couit held a short session in Philadelphia last Thurs day for the purpose of handing down decisions and then adjourned until the first Monday in October. The list of decisions handed down was exceptionally long and one of the most important was embodied in an opinion by Judge Orlady sustaining the constitutionality of the Pure Food law and affirming the deci sion of the Quarter Sessions of Phila delphia in the ca.se of Charles W. Spencer, convicted of selling ham burger steak containing illegal pre servatives. Spencer was fined $50 and costs after a long and bitterly-fought trial in the lower court. The Superior Court, in an opin ion by Judge Porter, also decided that selling cigars on Sunday does not constitute a breach of the peace. Addison Foster, ol Delaware county, on the charge of repeatedly viola ting the Sunday law of 1794 by selling soft drinks and cigars a3 held by a local justice under bonds to keep the peace. The Superior Court discharges Mr. Foster. Judge Porter pointed out that no disorder was charged against Foster and said the magistrate, under the circum stances of this case, had 110 juris diction to require Foster to enter bail. o - Mid-Bummer Beasida Tripi- If there is anything more restful and refreshing to the tiled and heated body or mind in these mid summer days than a short sojourn at the seashore, it has not yet been discovered and while waiting for something better, numbers of our readers will continue their annual trips to old ocean's brink.
