THE SOUTH SIDE-
SIDitor Columbian.
In your last week's Editorial on
"The South Side," you present a
strong and logical argument why
the South side voter should not cast
his vote for two Commissioners
from the South side, and especially
why Mr. Schuck is not entitled to
that vote.
The South side heartily endorses
vour views in reference to disgrunt
led independent candidates and we
believe will vote the straight
ticket as nominated at the June
Convention in strict accordance
with the party rules. They will do
this not so much perhaps through
fear of losing the benefit of the so
called "South Side Rule", but be
cause they honestly believe in the
justice of the rule and will not
neglect this oppsrtunity of demon
strating the honesty of their claims
and their true Democracy in sus
taining the party rules. Moreover
we believe that the South side has
in the past more consistently voted
the straight ticket than any other
section of the County. This being
true, we of the South side, natural
ly take exceptions to the reasons
assigned in your last week's editor
ial why two candidates from the
South side received the highest vote
for Commissioner. Your claim that
this happened because the South
side largely voted for two South
side candidates, whilst the North
voted for one from each side of the
river, is not borne out by the facts
and is therefore unfair and unjust
to the South side. An examination
of the returns will show that the
North side candidates received tol-
IN THE COUNTY
Surplus and Undivided Profits
8100,000.
lectively their fair proportion of
votes on the South side, but that
vote was divided among five candi
dates whereas of the North side can
didates, two of them recdved almost
the entire vote. This naturally
gave each of these two more votes
than any of the five from the North
side. Moreover when the question
was brought before the Convention,
Mr. Hess received not only the
solid North side vote but that of a
number of the South side members
as well as the Chairman who was
also from the South side. These
facts ought to fairly exonerate the
South side from the charge of trying
to get something tbat is not due
them.
As was said before we heartily
endorse your call for all Democrats
to vote for one Candidate from each
side of the river, and we believe
that the South side will not neglect
this opportunity of demonstrating
that they were honest in demanding
this rule. It would certainly be in
consistent and undemocratic to do
otherwise.
Let every South side voter bear
this in mind, and by voting the
straight ticket not only show their
rights to the protection of this rule,
but at the same time their disap
proval of the selfish and undemo
cratic practice of attempting to dis
rupt the party by running indepen
dent after failure to make the nomi
nation under the rules, which every
Candidate m his primary announce-1
ment binds himself to respect. Vote
the straight Democratic ticket from
top to bottom, and we of the South
side will show our loyalty to the
party.
South Side.
WHAT T11LY OBJJT TO-
Whero the Farmers Stand as Regards
Hunting.
The hunters who rail against the
laud owner who posts trespass no
tice on his property should realize
the fact that the farmer has just as
much right to protect himself as
the city resident has to prevent
any person from tramping over his
lawn. Instead of blaming the farm
er, the hunter should place the re
sponsibility for the strict enforce
ment of the trespass law upon the
shoulders of the careless hunter
who has made lite miserable for the
owners of lands in the rural dis
tricts. There are hunters and hunt
ers. The farmers do not wish to
prevent the glorious sport of hunt
ing. What they do object to is the
vandalism ot the gunner who cares
not what damage he does while in
pursuit of game. This kind of
hunter is in the minority, and the
majority of sportsmen mnst suffer
because of the wrongful acts of the
lesser numbtr of gun carriers. It
would be a good plan for the grumb
ling hunter to put himself in the
farmer's place and see how, as the
land owner, he would like to have
his property ever run by thought
less gunners.

ricomsluirg, 1'.. Nov. tst, 1905
To the Voters of Columbia County:
In view of the f:tct that the edi
iotials conceived in the fertile mind
of J. C Brown and published for
the past several weeks in the Col
umbia County Republican, which sue
without foundation, in which he
has taken the liberty of using my
name with Judge Ki ickbaum and
C. L- Sands I take this method of
informing thi public that I emphat
ically deny every word in those edi
torials. I never had a confeitnce
with Judge Krickbaum, C. L.
Sands or with any other person nt
my office or at any other pi ice as
outlined in the Republican, owned
and controlled by the agents who
take ordes in this county from
Durham and Penrose, the Philadel
phia Machine and Gang leaders.
I am and always have been loyal
to my party and its candidates.
The same source that circulated
and wrote these editorials has here
tofore circulated and published all
kinds of slanderous stories about
me.
No one knows better than J. C.
Brown himself that every word in
those editorials is a deliberate false
hood. I most respectfully solicit the
support of the Voters of Columbia
County for District Attorney, and
pledge to them a clean, honest,
faithful and economical administra
tion. Very Respectfully,
Christian A. Small.
P. S. I notice that the editorials
above reterred to are being publish
ed, (of course) as paid advertise
ments by the gang in several news
papers of the county.
Climax in Looting Operations.
The trag:dy in Allegheny City
last week is a climax in the record
of the systematic looting of the
State Treasury. The suicide of
T. Lee Clark, cashier of the Enter
prise National bank is another
startling incident in the "trail of
blood and boodle" which has
marked the gang control of the fis
cal affairs of the Common cvealt'u
for nearly a third of a century.
Desperate on account of the finan
cial straits into which he was
driven by political pirates, he ended
his mental anguish and physical
existence with a bullet and when
the information was conveyed to
those who were the cause of his'
misfortunes they said it was a pity I
and dismissed the subject.
How long is this record of crime :
to continue? Since the suicide of !
Blake Walters twenty-five years '
ago halt a dozen lives have been
sacrificed in the rapacity of this j
machine and as many more abso-!
lutely ruined. The reply to the
record is, however, that the State
has never lost a cent. The value
of men's lives and honor is not
measured in money and yet the
death and destruction of so many
men must be a pecuniary loss.
But accepting the estimate of Quay
that "wheu a politician dies he
leaves ouly what is found on him,"
and that the victims of his system
were worth nothing to the world,
it is not certain that the State has
escaped loss. There is a strong
suspicion that the present treasury
surplus is made up largely of
worthless obligations. ;
Eight months ago a trust com-'
pany in Lancaster failed with an
obligation to the State of $45,000
which has not been paid and it is '
certain that the more than a million
in the bankrupt Allegheny City
bank is a present loss. Possibly
owing to the peculiar conditions
now existing that rnouey will be
recovered speedily. Political exi
gencies are more important to
machine politicians than personal
honor and in the hope of escape
from party disaster the money of
the State may be made good. But
the people will never know how
much has been lost in that and
other bank wrecks until the
machine control of the Treasury is
brought to an end, and the coming
election affords the opportunity to
accomplish that result. Jicllcfonte

AN ACTIVE COMMITTEE
Chairman Clinton Herring of the
Democratic County Committee, has
been carrying on an aggressive
campaign, and ii there is not a
large Democratic vote out next
Tuesday it will not be his fault.
The work that has been done has
not been of the brass band order,
but his been directed towatds
effecting a perfect organization so
that a full vote will be polled. In
his efforts he has been ably assisted
by the Executive Committee. Dem
ocrats should show their apprecia
tion of the work of the Chairman
and the Committee by a big vote.

Go to the polls and vote early,
Let there be no stay-at-home Democrats.
