AN' IMPORTANT DECISION.
Counties Cannot License Fish Bask'
eta in Trout Streams.
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.

MR. MUNSOYS NOMINATION.
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.

A GIGANTIC LOTTERY.
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!"
