Assistant Deputy Attorney Gen eral Hargest has rendered an opinion to Fish Commissioner Mee ban in regard to the right of a county treasurer to issue a license or a fish basket in a stream in which trout are caught. In part Mr. Hargest said: "You are ad vised that a county treasurer can not legally isue a license for a fish basket in a stream if trout are com monly fished for and caught in any part of said stream, until the Board of Fishery Commission has first determined that the portion of the stream wherein the fish basket is to be set or used is not inhabited by trout." In concluding the decision the deputy decided that the fact that a license had beeu granted to a man who had no right to it would not interfere with a successful pro secution, but that in this case the treasuiershould be requested to revoke the license. i, Important Election Data.

From the Gazette and Bulle tin, THE LEADINT, RkITHLI- cae newspai'Kkof North ern Central Pennsyl vania, Wili.iamsi-ort, Pa., Air,. 6, 1909. The nomination of the Hon. C. LaRue Munson for a place on the Supreme bench of Pennsylvania af fords unfeigned pleasure to every citizen of Wiiliamsport and Ly coming county, irrespective of pol itics. This newspaper Ins on sever al occasions referred to the prospec tive selection of this splendid Wil liamsporter by the convention of hi.-, party, and now that the nomi nation has been so enthusiastically and so unanimously made, the Gazette and Bulletin feels that it can, ' with as much consistency as sincerity, join in the geueral wave of approval. We therefore tender our congratulations to Mr. Munson, and want to assure iiitn and his friends that the life long Republi canism of this newspaper will not detract in the least from our hearty endorsement of the distinguished honor conferred upon him by the Democratic convention at Harris burg yesterday. No man in Pennsylvania is more worthy of the high tribute that is carried by this nomination. The Democratic party was prompt to realize the trend of public senti ment and kjeu enough to foresee that in Mr. Munson it would have a candidate who by sheer force of character, by unsurpassed qualifica tions and brilliant attainments would command the respect and in sure the confidence of all classes of citizens. As a Republican newspa per, pledged to the support of the Republican candidate, the Gazette and Bulletin has no hesitancy in as serting that if the Democratic party has any show of success, its chances are much enhanced by reason of Mr. Mnnson's candidacy. So tar as this section is concerned his elec tion would cause more rejoicings thau regrets among those who rec ognize it as a bounden duty to op pose the Democracy. Mr. Munson is entitled to credit for being the most useful citizen Wiiliamsport ever produced. Every man, woman and child iu this mu nicipality owes him a debt of grati tude, for no movement was ever in augurated having for its purpose the good of Wiiliamsport that did not find C LaRue Munson in the front rank. He has been a power in the Board of Trade, a worker ia every cau:e iu which workers were required, and his spirit of enterprise and energy has on scores of occas ions aroused others to action that produced results. He has been for Wiiliamsport, first, last and all tbe time, and had it not been for his aggressive local patriotism, his in defatigable efforts and powerful in fluence, Wiiliamsport would not be the city it is today. We are satis fied this sentiment will be voiced by all our readers. As a Democrat Mr. Munson has never been a partisan, although consistent and earnest in his politi cal affiliations. For that reason he can rest assured of a most generous complimentary vote in Wiiliamsport and Lycoming county, as well as throughout the state.

In railroad fare aud other ex penses, $3,000 cjo was paid out by those who recently played hands in the gigantic land lottery conducted by the government on north west Indian reservations. The same eu .horitv estimates that an additional ?i ,000,000 will be rimilariy expend ed by those who drew prizes. Fur ther information is that in many cases the lands drawn are of little value as an aset for remunerative endeavor. The upshot of the whole incident is a wide conviction that a colossal blunder has been made by those who were in charge of affairs for the government. It has met, as it ojght to, with condemnation by the press throughout the coun try. The enormous sum extracted from the people makes of the process one of the most gigantic games of his tory. Eight million dollars as a part of the stakes, and more than 300.000 people in the list of the players, puts this government lot tery in a class by itself and places tbe government officials who sat as "dealers" at the head of class in any known game of chance. It is a proceeding of which all those who represented the government ought to be ashamed. The govern meutrf the United States should be in bater business. Private citi zens accessory to a lottery of one thousandih the magnitude would be sent to jail or be made to pay a heavy fine, or both. What of the statesmanship that perpetrated this business upon the country ? What of the officialdom that insists that the only way to equitably distribute Indian lands is lo entice the people into playing a game of cliaiue for them ? JWtlanJ ( Ore.) Journal. Trolley to Towanda and Troy. Preliminary surveys are now be ifcg made for a proposed trolley line from Ehuira to Towanda aud Troy, Pa., which will make a connecting link with the lines soon to be run through many towns in the North ern tier counties of Pennsylvania. The route of the electric road will be from Wellsburg, where it will join the Elraira. Corning 6c Waverly line, to East Smithfield, thence to Burlington, where it will branch, one going east to Towanda, tbe ether west to Troy. Pa. Power for the propulsion of the heavy cars will be furnished by the tmtnensr storage dam that is to be built across the Susquehanna River in Towanda. The necessary legal steps have been taken for the erec tion ot the dam, the charters have been grartLd, the needed capital is forthcoming and now that the pow er scheme is well in hand, it is ap parent that it is the intention of the capitalists to find outlet for the use of the immense power which will be generated. An Unclean Prison. In a foul- ill smelling and dimly lighted jail at Meadville, says The Tttusvitle Herald, is incarcerated "a lot of men and a few women whose belief in men and their professions must be sadly shaken." The pris oners must marvel at their confine ment in such a dise.ise-breeding place, when on a hill at one end of the town is a college and theologi cal school, and within a stone's throw of the jail are five churches of great religious denominations. Thousands of men aud women en ter these fine church edifices every Sunday, adds The Herald, to hear the Gospel of charity and promise of salvation, yet in years not a voice of Meadville learning and Mead ville Christianity has been raised aloft in behalf of the inhumanity to prisoners in the county's unin habitable jail. Farmers Putting Up Notices. Many farmers in the country are putting up trespass notices warning hunters to keen off their places. This move is not made so much to prevent the hunters from getting game within their domains, but for tne purpose of protecting their properties. Farmers frequently complain of the carelessness of hun ters in tearing down fences, demol ishing other things, and creating havoc in general. The owners of real estate have a right to prohibit hunting on their places, and notic es prohititin the.same should be regarded, otherwise a heavy penal ty is enforced. - . . . Going Up. Butter is soaring, eggs and meat are on the up-grade, an advance in price in milk threatens, poultry has ceased to be a staple food for per sons in moderate circumstances, vegetables cost more than ever, and fruit is out of reach of the ordinary buyer. The Pittsburg Post ascribes the cause to so many soil-tillers seeking city life and its trials, aud to the growiug interposition of bar riers oetween the producer and ul timate eousumer. RETURNING PROSPERITY. No Idle Cars on Either Pennsy or Reading. What is generally considered in financial and commercial circles as the most convincing proof of the returning industrial and business activity was furnished lately 111 thi announcements m-ide by the Philadelphia find Reading nilway and Pennsylvania railroad that there were 110 idle cars on either of these systems. These reports, com ing on top of the knowledge of the remarkably rapid expansion in the iron and steel industry, was ac cepted with undisguised enthusiasm by the believers iu the returning prosperity. While it was pointed out that the employment of the cars was to a large extent due to the moving of the crops, yet it was unhesitatingly stated that the dis appearance of idle cars on the larger railroad systems was positive p:oof ot reviving business activity. The greatest increase in orders art reported by railroad company sup plies and equipment companies. The otders received by these plants have grown to such proportions within tue last thirty days as to necessitate running the works on I't'il time. . . Why I Left the Ministry. "As a minister I found that I could not be honest," says a former country pastor in Woman's Home Companion for October. "I could not be honest in business matters. I could not hi hone.st morally. T could not be honest socially. Re peatedly I made the attempt. Re peatedly the attempt ended in dis aster." After a long and biUer ex erience, he came to the conclusion that the small church owes four duties to its pastor. They are: "1. Pay up. Turn in your con tribution to the church treasury with the utmost promptness. Leave the treasurer no excuse for running your minister into debt. "2. Speak out. When the church is about to choose a new pastor, raise the question immediately as to the stamp of preaching expected. Conservative or progressive, let it be settled then. Better a hot debate and the consequent hard feelings thau a sham acquiescence that keep things smooth for the time, and later subjects a minister to a pro cess of doctrinal bulhing that de grades his manhood. II subsequent ly there arise disagreements, see to it that they are met not by bring ing pressure to bear sporadically upon the pastor, but by bringing pressure to bear, when necessary, upon his parishioners. By this I mean demanding that they reach common ground on which they are willing to stand consistently. "3. Be considerate. Refuse to ruin your pastor's usefulness by heaping upon him a host of un necessary tasks. Leave him time to fulfil his larger obligations honest ly time for solid, patient, con scientious preparation for the pul pit, time for the faithful shepherd ing of the flock. "4. Be natural. The pose people assume toward a minister is a sur vival of a bygone time, and sc is their insistence that he practise an artificial severity ot life. The nat ural, instinctive attitude is that of candor in the one matter and of respect for his individual convic tions in the other. "Some day, when Christians have come to understand that only as these four simple rules are obey ed can a clergyman maintain his honesty, there will result a reform ation that will make the preacher's calling what God means it to be the nobbst, the most inspiring, the most hallowed in all the world. And never again will a 111.11 write an account of how he left the min istry to save bis soul!" WASTED Siller.
