What Can a Young Man Do ? Hon. Frank West Rollins, the originator of the old Home Week idea, gives a good common-sense talk about the young man and the farm in the Farm ami Fireside, lie says: "While farming does not promise the largest rewards in the way of wealth or fame, it offers compensa tions that may be as attractive and satisfying. A competent farmer with a good farm is assured of a comfortable living, and can win a rmxlerate fortune. He has the priv ilege of constant association with his family. He enjoys the greatest degree of personal and business in dependence. His products are ar ticles of universal use. If one mar ket will not take them, another will. He has no occasion to fawn upon clients or cringe to magnates. Commercial panics rarely affect him. His goods ar still necessary; and while their value may be less, the cost of production is often much more than enough lower at such times to make up the difference. In fact, his margin of profit is ofteu greatest in years of depression. While farm life is laborious, there is often variety about it that con trasts pleasantly with the mouoto ny of a life spent at a bench or the desk. To the lover of home, farm life is delightful, in that it is a con stant process of home development, liach tree and vine acquires a per sonal value to him far greater than its worth in money. All the do mestic animals are his pets and friends. A well-kept farm is a bit of landscape gardening that helps to make home beautiful, and is a tribnte to the character of its own er."

The college chapel was thronged with admiring parents and friends who had come to witness the com mencement exercises. Amid an expectant hush the venerable pres ident arose and summoned the grad uates to receive their hard-earned diplomas. The sturdy football team were awarded the coveted sheepskins, while the wall echoed with the ap plause and cheers. The lithe track athletes in running attire received their well-merited degrees, and the Varsitv crew, oars in hand, grace fully accepted their honors. As the exercises were concluding and the orchestra about to play, a member of the faculty stepped re luctantly forward and touched the president's arm, whispering in his ear at the same time. In apparent annoyance the dignitary turned to the audience: "Pardon me, ladies and gentle men, but I have made a slight omission. I understand that one student should receive the degree of bachelor of arts. Will he kindly step forward as quickly as possi ble ?" A shrinking young man stepped forward apologetically, a diploma was thrust in his hand, and he was haughtily waved aside, while the orchestra struck up a two-steo.

O ASTOn HA.. Btut the 9 m m 1J" H DECISION IN KRICKBAUM CASE Full Text of Supreme Court Decis ion in the Much Discussed Case. THE LAW FULLY OUTLINED The opinion of the Supreme Court In the Krlckbnum case In which Judge Evans was reversed and Krlck haum declared the duly elected Abbo elatH Jude lins Wen rclel from the Supremo Court. It Is In full as follows: "In the opinion of this court, In In dependence Party Nomination, 208 Pa. 108, Chief Justice Mitchell points out that proceedings by certiorari on a summary petition occupy a mlddlo ground between those In common law actions and equity suits. And that the appellate court, lu the wxer ciso of the supervisory powers in such cases will not stop with a mere In spection of the formal proceedings, but will examine the opinion of the court below so far as may be neces sary to ascertain the basis of Its ac tion. This statement of the princi ple's and practice by which this court Is governed in such cases was again cited nnd approved In Chester County Republican Nominations, 213 Pa. C4, and it was further pointed out that "where the facts appear upon the record this Court will examine whether the Judgment Is correct upon Biich facts and may for that purpose consider the opinion of the Court as part of the record." See also Mul holland's case, 218 Pa. C31. The opinion of this Court In Von Moss's Election, 219 Pa. 454 Is also consist ent with this rule, and in that case we took In to consideration the facts presented, as found In the opinion of the court below. In the present case the facts are not disputed; they are found and presented by the trial judge as the basis of his action, and It becomes our duty to examine the Judgment to see if It is correct upon facts, and for that purpose, we take them as set 'forth in the opinion of the trial Judge as follows: "The petition of George M. Hughes was filed in this case on the 4th day of December, 1907, to contest the eleo tlon of William Ki-ickbauu to the office of Associate Judge In the Coun ty of Columbia. At the general eleo tlon held on the 6th day of November, 1907, In said county, an Associate Judge was to be elected. On the canvass of the returns by the judges, it appears that William Krlckbaum received three thousand forty-three votes and that Geo. M. Hughes re celved three thousand twelvj votes. The petition alleges that one hundred and seven votes were cast for Wit Ham Krlckbaum, and that thirty-nine votes were cast for George M, Hughes In Mifflin township at said election, and that all votes cast at said election In Mifflin township were Illegal and void and should not be counted for either Krlckbaum or Hughes In computing the election re turns of Columbia County. That If the votes cast at said election In Mifflin township were not counted George M. Hughes would have receiv ed twenty-nine hundred and seventy three votes and that William Krlck baum would have received twenty- nine hundred and thirty-six votes. That George M. Hughes received a majority of the legal votes cast for Associate Judge in Columbia at the election held Novembed 3, 1907. The objection to the vote counted for Mifflin township Is, that the legally elected judge of election was not permitted to take part In the holding of the election and that a usurper acted as Judge In holding said elec tlon." The court below proceeds to find specifically, "1. That at the February election, 1907, In said dis trict of Mifflin township, A. E. Jorn- son was duly elected as judge of election to serve for tlw ensuing year. 2. That at the next following election In said district, to wit, the June primary election, the said A. E, Johnson did not attend and that thereupon one of the Inspectors ap pointed Whitney Hhsb as the Judge of election In the place of Johnson, and who, after being sworn, acted as judge during the said June primary election. 3. That on he morning of the general election held In said township, on the 6th day of Novem ber, 1907, before the polls were open ed the said A. E. Johnson appeared at the regularly appointed place for holding the elestlon In said township and demanded to be sworn In as this regularly elected Judge of the election In the' said district. 6. That the said A. E. Johnson persisted In demanding his right as one of the said election board, but notwithstand ing his demand, Whitney Hess was sworn In as Judge of election by the minority Inspector, and then said Whitney Hess and other members of the board proceeded to conduct Una eloction without Johnson and receiv ed the votes cast at said polling place, counted and made return of the same without the said Johnson participating therein. 0 That Whit ney Hess acted ac judge of the gen eral election held In Mlfllln township, November 6, 1907. That he was not tho regularly wlccted Judge of election to hold the November election, 1907, In Bald Mifflin township. That there was no vacancy In the office of Judge of election In Mlfllln township on the morning of November 6, 1907, A . E. Johnson, the regularly elected Judge of election being present nt the time of opening the polls and demanding his right to participate In the recelv counting, and return of the votes cast at said polling place. 7. That the election returns from Mifflin township for said election show that one hun dred and sven votes were cast for William Krlckbaum for Associate Judge nnd that thlrty-nlno were cast for George M. Hughes for Associate Judge. "On the part of the respondent It Is contended that the vote of Mifflin township cannot be thrown out, (1) Because the action of Whitney Hess as Judge was not In fraud of the rights of either candlda'.e; noithet was his appointment fradulently ot tan led; nor did his action or the ao tlon of tho board In allowing him t sit, change, alter or even render un certain a single vote cast at tho eleo tlon. (2) Because Whitney Hess holding and claiming to hold by vir tue of a valid appointment at tha June primary election was acting under color of title, and was therefore as respects third persons, the defacto judge of election and his acts as such are binding on the contestant and respondent. "On the part of the contestant it is contended that because the election in Mimin township was hem by a judge of election who was not legal ly appointed the return of votes cast at the poll Is illegal and cannot be counted." "After conceding that the Irregular conduct upon the part of the election officers, Is not to be allowed to de feat the expressed win of the voters, unless there is a fraud. or such con duct as will alter or render uncertain the result, the learned Judge In the court below announced his conclusion that Whitne Hess was not de facto Judge of election, acting under color of title, but that he was a mere usurper, and he therefore rejected all the votes cast in Mifflin township, How he could have reached this con clusion we do not understand. It is directly In the teeth of, and Is en tirely unwarranted by the findings of fact; for he found expressly that In truth and in fact, Whitney Hess was sworn In as judge of election by one of the inspectors, and that he then proceeded with the other members of the board to conduct th9 election, and receive the votes, and counted and made return of them. So that beyond question he was actually, la fact and in deed, the judge of elec tion. He performed tho duties of the office with, apparent right, and under claim and color of an appoint ment, even though It be granted that he was acting under a mistaken au thority. But he was In the exact sense of tho term an officer de facto. Now the validity of the acts of offi cers of election who are such de facto only, so far as they affect third persons, and the public, Is nowhere questioned. "The doctrine that whole communities of electors may be disfranchised for the time being, and a minority candidate forced Into an office, because one or more of the Judges of election have not been duly sworn, or were not duly chosen, or do not possess all the qualifications requisite of the office, finds no sup port in the decisions of our judicial tribunals: McCrary on Elections (4th ed.)) 1897, Sec. 251. To sus tain this statement the author cites our own case of Board vs. Bank of Washington 11 S. & It, 411 where Justice GIbBon said (p. 414): "The question does not depend on whether the appointment is void or only voida ble, or whether It emanated from an an authority which bad full power to make it; but whether the officer has come in under the color of right, or In open contempt of all right what ever. The King v. Leslie Andr. Rep. 1C3, S. C. Stra. 190. Thin distinc tion runs through all the cases. This principle of colorable elections holds not only In regard to the right of electing but also of being elected. A person undlsputably Ineligible may be an officer de facto by color of elec tion: Knight v. The Corporation of Wells, Lutw. 608. So even, where the office was not vacant, but there was an existing officer de Jure at the time: "O'Brien v. Kulvare, Cro. 652; Harris v. Jays, Cro. E1U. 699." "And in Kayser v.
