I:rnm the Oitiwissn News-Item. Some of our readers, a very few of tlietn, have formed the idea that because of laudatory articles ap pearing in the columns of the A'ews ft i we have experienced a change of heart towards William Kriek b.luiu. Not on your life. Those articles are published as advertise mcnts and are paid for at 10 cents per line ; no discount for cash, either. We are of the opinion now, as ever, that William Kiickbauni is not a fit man for associate judge And in support of this opinion we refer, among a multitude of rea sons, to the hearing on the rule to relieve J. L. Kdwards, prosecutor in the indictment against J. R. Fowler, Hlooiusburg. for the illegal sale of liquor, from the payment of the costs placed upon liini by the grand jury, which body ignored the bill against Fowler. The hearing was held on Oct. 15th last, and Judge Krickbauni was sitting on the bench. y Duy, Fsrj., attorney for Kd wards, asked that Krickbauni be sworn as a witness, but he refused to be sworn. Mr. Duy then proceeded to question him and succeeded in getting him to acknowledge that he had talked with the grand jurors in the Fowler case ; that he had also talked with the prosecutor, J. L. Kdwards, and told him that he had better drop the case or he might get the costs put upon him. The prosecutor did not drop the case and he did get the costs placed upon him. Was it Krickbaiim's knowledge of the law, or his knowledge of grand juries, that led him to give Prosecutor Kdwards such good ad vice ? Is there a Democratic voter in the county who considers a man fit to sit in judgment, who as a judge will throw aside his judicial robes, descend from the bench, talk with jurors about a case, and try to get prosecutors to drop prose cutions ? We believe there is. But we hope there are enough honest Demo cratic voters in the county to pre vent bis re-election. Don't for a moment, dear reader, get it into your head that we have changed our opinion about William Krickbauni. That opinion is sot. Adv. it MRS. McKINLEY. Mrs. McKinley, widow of the assassinated President, was buried at Canton, Ohio, yesterday. She had been a patient sufferer for many years, and President Mc Kinley's devotion to her was one of the many things that endeared him to his countrymen. President Roosevelt attended the funeral, but at the request of Mrs. McKinley the funeral was not attended with any public display. When the Hair Falls Then it's time to act!

SHAFFER, As the Democratic Candidate FOR ASSOCIATE JUDGE. Dear Sir: The Democrats of the eastern end of the County Centre ind Briar Creek townships, Berwick and W. Berwick Boroughs have no representation in the count v government. Is it not fair that we should be represented? We pay our taxes and vote the Democratic ticket, and we believe that this entitles this end of the county to recognition at the hands of the Democratic voters of the county. Vour votes on June ist between 2 and 8 p. 111. will determine whether or not we are entitled to such recognition. If nominated and elected I will be ho-iest and impar tial in all the duties of the office, free from entangling alliances, with out promises or obligations of any mv administration.

The effect of the passage of the two cent fare law by this legisla ture is being felt already. No one doubted its creating somewhat of a commotion when it passed. But it is 110 little surprise to many that the commotion should start so ear ly.. The law does not go into effect until October 1, and it was thought that all opposition would be held in abeyance until that date or the near approach to it. But such is not the case. The railroads have taken the init:ative in putting the law to the test. The Reading is beginning to readjust its rates to suit the new law, and at the same time to antic ipate its effect upon the income of the company. This company claims it is necessary to raise the rates of fare in the Philadelphia district where they had been lowered to meet the trolley competition sever al years ago. The rates have been restored to the old basis. This will affect the suburban traffic very materially. Their special rates will be cut off and the full regular fare will be charged. The company justifies this read justment on the plea of fairness to passengers beyond the commuta tion territory, special rates being prohibited by law to one class of passengers over another. Those who are thus aflected claim that this move on the part of the company is in retaliation for the popular demand for this two cent fare bill. The Pennsylvania railroad has instituted a suit in equity to test the constitutionality of the law. Lawyers differ on this point, and it will require the courts to deter mine. This suit is entered to settle this contention definitely before the law goes into force. In this res pect the Pennsylvania railroad will do a public service. It is well to have this point settled beyond dis pute before the law goes into effect, and then all concerned will accept it and adjust themselves to the new conditions. The progress of this suit will be watched with universal interest, and the decision awaited with no little anxiety. This is a popular bill and the people would suffer great disappointment in its defeat. Kx. OASTOXIX-A.. Bean tb rf Kind You Have Always Bought tttW1.- a, ? -(.iSS.

A great deal of the legislation proposed by "reformers" is, in the estimation of practical and hard headed men, impractical and incap able of enforcement, but once in a while they hit ou something that has real merit. A Minnesota tem perance society proposes a law es tablishing a home for inebriates, where they can be well taken care of and scientifically treated for the cure of what has come to be recog nized as a disease. No expense is to be spared in the building or .maintenance of this asylum, and the money to pay for it all is to be obtained by taxing licensed places in the state. We heartily approve of such a law. In almost every community there are men who are utterly incapable of resis'ing the appetite for strong drink. Of course the law prohibits the sale of liquor to such persons, or the procure ment of liquor for them, but they get it, and the law is utterly incap able of obtaining the necessary ev idence to punish the liquor sellers who furnish the liquor to keep them intoxicated. Now, if these men could be committed to some state institution, where their infirm ity could be treated from a scien tific standpoint, some of them could be restored to a position of useful ness to society. If the cost of maintaining such an institution could be assessed upon the liquor dealers of the state, that would be what some people call "making one hand wash the other. ' A v. Snow in May was not unknown in the olden time in Pennsylvania. Robert Keech, a well-known citi zen of Columbia, was 72 years old Saturdav, and in honor of the event he entertained a number of his comrades of the civil war at dinner. The veterans spent sev eral hours relating reminiscences of the great war. Mr. Keech says his parents often told him that ou the day he was born, in Chester county, there were four inches of snow on the ground. Jayne him m Get NEED A NEW HAT?
