ANNIVERSARY EDITION.
The issue of the Morning Press
last Monday marked the seventh
anniversary of the establishmant of
that bright and newsy paper. The
issue consisted of 64 pages, and it
was a marvel in every way. It
contained news, industrial, profes
sional, religious, financial, building
and real estate, and educational
sections, and was profusely illus
trated with half-tone cuts. The
various designs of the headings and
ornamental cuts were prepared by
Walter H. Brooke.
No inland country newspaper in
the state has ever attempted an
issue on so large a scale and but
few of the city dailies have sur
passed it. Messrs. Vanderslice and
Kyerly are to be congratulated and
complimented upon the energy,
ability and enterprise that have
made the Morning Press a leader
among the journals of the state.
The Passover.
The Celebration Began At Suniet Monday
Evening.
At sunset Monday evening began j
the Jewish celebration of the Pass
over, or Pcsah, commemorating the
deliverance of their first-born while
in Egypt and the departure of the
Israelites from that land out of the
house of bondage.
The Seder, with its unleavened
bread, bitter herbs and the pascal
lamb will be conducted in all Jew
ish homes, together with the Hag
gadah, during which the four cups
of witie are taken in a reaclin po
sition. At the Seder, the history
of the Israelites in Egypt is read,
the youngest 'son according to an
cient custom, questioning the fath
er as to the meaning of certain
parts of the service.
Passover this year falls on the
fourteenth day of the month of
Nissan, and will continue until the
night of the twenty-first day of the
same month. The passover week
is also a week of joy and happiness,
and gifts are distriDuted by ooserv
ingjews. In order that there may
be no leaven in the house at the
time of the ushering in of the Pass
over, the mistress of the family, a
week prior to the holiday, indulges
in a general housecleaning, and
among the orthodox Jews an en
tirely separate set of dishes is used
during the Feast of unleavened
Bread, as it is sometimes called.
Commencing on the second night,
record called Omer is kept for for
ty-nine days, commemorating the
fortv-nine days spent in the wilder
ness by the jews. At the end of
this period Pentecost, or the Feast
of Weeks, is celebrated.
House Passes Judges' Salary Increase.
Representative Salus, of Phila
delphia, called up in the House from
the postponed final passage calen
dar on Monday night, and succeed
ed in getting passed, the bill to
largely increase the salaries of all
the Judges in the State, which was
defeated last week for lack of five
votes, but reconsidered and post
poned. Mr. Morrison, of Beaver, at
tacked the bill, saying it would add
$400,000 a year to the salaries of
the Judges. "If this Legislature
votes all this to the poor Judges,"
Mr. Morrison said, "I want the
people to know that for two years
300 of the insane at the Dixmont
Hospital have been obliged to sleep
on the floors of the corridors. I so
inform this Legislature before it
votes upon this bill."-
Mr. Rockwell, of Tioga, called
attention to lack of State money
for necessities and for the suffering
wards of the State.
Mr. Wallace, of Lawrence, de
clared that as many appropriation
bills- must fall for want of suf
ficient revenue, the passage of this
bill would mark great injustice.
He thought that there was demand
in places for increases of Judges;
but there was little or none for in
crease of Judges salaries. The
people did not want this, and he
believed the Judges did not demand
it.
Mr, Decker, of Lehigh, referring
to calls of "question" from the
Philadelphians and others, said that
"tne evident impatience for a vote
gives the impression that there is
now some more persuasive argu
ment at work than the eloqueu e
heard here upon this bill last
week."
Mr. Dempsey, of Lackawanna,
who voted against the bill last
week, said he had been under the
misapprehension that Judges got
$7500 a year; but since finding that
the amount was only $6000 he had
changed his mind about the bill.
"Every revenue-raiser has re
ceived its death-blow in this House
since the vote upon this bill last
week," said Mr. Reynolds, of Law
rence; "and the men who killed
them are the backers of this meas
ure. The bill was passed finally and
sent to the Senate by a vote of 126
to 52.
It got the votes of all of the 41
Philadelphia Representatives and
all the 24 Allrghenlans except Al
ter, Cribbs, Speaker Cox and Kir
by (who voted "no"), and Conner,
who did not vote.
Mr. Creasy voted against the bill.
HIGH WIND.
The wind got on the rampage on
Wednesday afternoon and did con
siderable damage. The high brick
stack at the Car Shops was blown
down, part of the tin roof on the
Wells building on Main street was
torn off, an unfinished building of
William Hut ton on East Fourth
street was demolished, the lower
barn 011 the Funk and Ent farm
was unroofed, the front glass on a
trolley car coming from Berwick
were shatttered, and many wires
blown down. ' . -

Enforce the Law.
Since the passage of the deg law
in 1907 there has been no special
effort made in many portions of the
state to enforce it. Hundreds of
dogs are running at large without
the insignia prescribed by the law,
primarily designed for the benefit
of the country districts, especially
in portions devoted to the raising
of sheep.
The state constitution requires all
taxation to be uniform on the same
class of subjects, so there is no way
to exempt the dogs of the towns
from the taxation applied to those
in the country.
There are apparently a number
of dos;s running about the streets
minus the official tag.
Just why the law has not been
applied to these mongrels is not
known, for the act is very spucifi:.
The returns of the assessor should
show the number of dogs claimed
by the citizens of the place. If the
license tag has not ben secured by
the owners then the dogs can be
impounded and killed.
Those who are responsible for j
the fulfillment ol the provisions of
act of 1907 are certainly derelict in
their du;y if they fail to report the
number of caniuts running at large (
minus the special tag. Some day, '
when it is too late perhaps, the
constables will be brought to book
for their disregard of the law, j
when an innocent little tot has
been mauled and mangled by one
of these curs. It were better that
the law be enforced than to have
human life sacrificed. Ex.

Trolley Line Being Planne

spurt to Shamokin Via Cur.bu y.
A company composed of promi
nent men in the various town
along the. proposed line, together
wi'.h several capitalists from New
York and Harrisburg, has been
formed fcr the purpose of building
a trolley line along the West Branch
cf the Susquehanna connecting
Moutoursville, Muucy, Montgom
ery, Watsontown, affording a con
tinuous trolley road between Lew
isburg and Williamspoit, and even
tually to rea:h Sunbury and Sha
mokin, and afford a link in a sys
t:in to reach the large eastern cities.
It is the intention of the stock
holders of the concern, in addition
to providing their own power to
erect a powerhouse sufficiently
large to furnish light to the com
munities into which the line passes.
The road will probably connect
with the line which is to be built
between Shamokin Dam and Lew
isburg, the plans for which also in
clude the furnishine of licht.
This will be one of the longest
systems in the State. Although
New England and other more pop
ulous sections of the country are
well supplied with trolley service
between larger towns, yet the de
velopment of such service is only in
its infancy.
