VOL. 33.
EDITOR'S_ NOTICE.
XWHEN you see this item mark
ed with an X, in blue or black
pencil mark across its face you
will know that your subscription
is due, or past due. Your name will
be found printed on each copy of the
PRESS, as you receive it and gives the
last date to which you have paid. Our
terms are $2.00 if not paid in advance,
81.50 in advance. Many, very many,
of our patrons allow their subscrip
tions to run year after year. This we
are unable to stand. It requires
money to purchase paper and pay em-1
ployes and we must insist upon the
payment of subscriptions due us. We
have been patient, but "patience has
ceased to be a virtue," and we now
propose to weed out all those subscri
bers who show no disposition to pay '
for their paper.

at the opera house, last Thursday

Open Door Policy.
For the benefit of some of our read
ers who do not get time to study the
questions of the day, we submit the
following as an explanation: By the
open-door policy in the Philippines is
meant that whatever tariff regulations
may be adopted for the islands the
United States will permit all other na
tions to trade on the same footing
with itself. This does not mean free |
trade, since it places all nations on the |
same commercial footing. That the I
proposition is regarded by foreigners j
as eminently fair is shown by the cont- !
ments of the British press. Other na- 1
tions are likely to regard it with favor j
just in proportion as they have trade
t with the islands. The arrangement,
; if made by the peace commissioners
: would apply only to the period during
which the islands would remain under
military or executive rule, and would
I be subject to future change by Con
i gress which body alone can enact
i tariff laws for the United States or its
i possessions.—Ex.

A Burning Shame.
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press, in his letter
upon the opening of Congress, said:
"Sincere regret was everywhere ex
pressed by Pennsylvanians and by
members from every state in the Union
that so able and useful a member as
Charles W. Stone should have been
made the victim of Northwestern
Peensylvania politics. It is generally
agreed that with two or three excep
tions any other member of the State
delegation could have been better
spared. Mr. Stone takes his defeat
philosophically, and could not but feel
gratified to-day with the kind expres
sions of his fellow Congressman."
While you are looking around to see
what you can find fur suitable present
for husband or son, you will miss it if
you fail to call at N. Seger's. He has
many handsome articles in addition to
a fine line of clothing.
Amusements.
The novelty of a lot of acrobats
chased by a detective, going one after
another head first through a second
story window, is certainly a very
I laughable concert. The Brothers
Royer, who will appear at the Opera
I House, Emporium, Dec. 12., in Next
! Door, were doubtless aware of this
feature as a fun maker when they em
■ bodied it in their curious spectacular
production of that name. The skit is
full of features including the trick bath
house, the mysterious trunk, the
j haunted house, the funny mule and
the trick wall action, as everybody
knows the brothers are great acrobats
and as supple as eels. There is a good
variety of songs and dances, pretty
music and pretty girls. The support
' ing company is one of the very best.

Our Judges Salaries.
Anent, the subject of Judges' salaries,
the question has been asked, Why are
so many of those learned in the law
eager to ascend the bench If the emolu
ments of office are not inviting?
Judge Charles A. Mayer, of Lock
Haven, made answer to this query
some time ago with this explanation.
In the Courts of Common Pleas of
nearly all the counties in Pennsylvania
the salary of each presiding Judge is
S4OOO. It is only the few members of
the bar who have incomes from their
private practice that exceed this
amount, and even these do not weigh
the question solely from a pecuniary
I standpoint, but give consideration to
1 the distinguished honor that is vested
in one who wears the ermine, as well
as the influence and power of appoint
ment that go with the office. Besides
| this, stated Judge Mayer, the duties on
J the bench are not burdensome and
leave open to the imcumbents much
! time which they may devote to other
| interests.
Judge Geofge B. Orlady, of Hunt
ingdon, one of the able jurists of the
I Superior Court, recently stated to the
! writer that he realized the monetary
l sacrifice he made in abandoning his
lucrative private practice for an office
that insured him but $7,500 per annum
but for other reasons he deemed fit to
accept the honor.
Ex-Judge Joseph C. Bucher, of Sun
bury, who served two terms in the
then Mifflin-Union-Snyder district, ex
pressed his gratification that a third
term was not accorded him, as he has
prospered far better financially since
leaving the bench.
There is no responsibility so vital to
the people's interest as that assumed
by a Judge ofthe coui'ts, whose rulings
have paramount weight in governing
society, preserving law and order and
adjudicating differences where large
interests are involved. The very
ablest tod most learned lawyers are a
nece l ty on the bench for the public
welfa and what the services of such
are orth should certainly not be
mate .lly less than they realize as
private practitioners.—Philadelphia
Press.
Cooper on Ballot Reform.
From the Media "American."
From every section of the State come
stories of the wrongs against voters
and candidates by the blanket ballot
law. It has become a menace and a
nuisance. In this county over 2000
voters showed their fear of it in various
ways, and refused to vote for all offices
for fear of vitiating the ballot. It can
not be understood, even by lawyers,
except after long and careful study,
and it has confused the courts and led
to a variety of decisions, some of them
' contradictory.
Under the genuine Australian sys
tem there would be but a single column
' and the names of the candidates for
the same office would be collected
: under the title of that office. Any
1 candidate, by simply filing nomination
papers, would have a place in that bal
lot, and to place his name there would
require but a single line, not an entire
I column. There would be no use for
courts and no opportunities for tech
nical decisions antagonistic to the
spirit of the Constitution and of the
law. The booth is all right, for it
I preserves secrecy, but no man should
1 be permitted to aid another in marking !
j his ticket unless the voter is blind.
Inability to read is the man's own fault
j Now the aid called in is as a rule to
show that the voter earns the money
which he gets for his vote. A simple
ballot will not discourage honest men,
| and will check the work of dishonest
| ones. Let all the press of the State
1 unite in a demand for a simplification
of the ballot.
The elegant lide of women's and
I children's winter wraps now being

If You Are Wise Advertise.
Here's something to read that the
merchant should heed: If you expect
to conquer in the battle of to-day you
will have to blow your trumpet in a
firm and sturdy way. If you toot
your whistle and lay aside your horn,
there is not a living soul will know
that you were ever born. The man
that owns his acres is the man that
plows all day, and the man that keeps
a humming is the man that's here to
stay. But the man who advertises
with a sort of sudden jerk, is the man,
who blames the printer because it
wouldn't work. The man that gets
the business uses lots of printers ink,
not a clatter not a splatter, an ad that
makes you think. He plans his adver
tisement as he plans his shelves and
stock, and the future of his business is
as solid as a rock.
Lassitude.
Lassitude, "that tired feeling," is
one of the first signs of approaching
illness; it may be a cold, la grippe, or
other malady. A few doses of "77" at
this early stage may "break up" the
disease, preventing a long illness.
"77" cures grip, colds, inflluenza,
catarrh, pains and soreness in the head
and chest, cough .and sore throat. At
druggists or 'sent prepaid; price 25c.
and 50c; large pocket flask SI.OO. Dr.

"Score One for Aunty."
A good story is related at the ex
pense of "Bob" Ingersol. The colonel
was recently talking with an old color
ed woman in Washington concerning
religious matters. "Do you really be
lieve, aunty," said he, "that people
are made of dust?" "Yes sab, de
Bible say dey is and so I b'lieve
it." "But what is done in wet
weather, when there is nothing but
mud ?" "Den Is s'pects dey make in
fidels, rumsuckers an' sich like."—Ex.
Woes of the Non=Advertiser.
The none-advertising merchant
goeth forth to his lair at the raising
of the sun and 10, 110 man interfeareth;
he standeth around all day like a bot
tle of castor oil, and the people with
the sheckels come out to his shanty.
He advertiseth not his wares, and his
name is forgotten on the face of the
earth. Who hath stale baking powder
without end? He that knoweth not
the way to the printing office.
Five Snow Storms.
A well known farmer of Dauphin
county has established a weather
bureau and predicts a severe winter,
basing his views upon the manner in
which the muskrats are building their
nests. Professor De Voe, who fore
casts weather by natural instinct and
the saw in his slab mill, has scheduled
twenty-one cold days for December,in
cluding five snow storms and one day
of zero weather, the 24th.

take great care to put only sound vege

afford soil for the propagation of dis

The secret you don't want in the
