Ballot Reform Coming.
That the Legislature is to give
the people a genuine ballot reform
act is altogether probable, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. To draw
up a measure that wjll suit all in
terests at llarrisburg is a difficult
ta.-k. Several bills have been in
troduced, including those of the
theoretical reformers, that of Sena
tor Focht and linally one settled
upon by the Democratic party
leaders. The Focht bill, which
■was on the calendar, has been sent
• back to committee in order that it
may be compared with the Demo
cratic proposition and changes made
if desirable.
The Focht measure is not radi
cally different from the Democratic
scheme, the principal point of dif
ference being in the retention of
the circle for straight party voting
by Mr. Focht and its rejection by
Col. Guffey. In both bills the
names of candidates are grouped
under the title of the offices for
which they are running. In both,
also, a candidate's name can appear
but once on the ballot. If named
by petition, that is to say nomina
tion papers, the Gulfey measure
permits the names of the various
parties that may indorse the nomi
nation to appear after the name,
which the Focht bill does not pro
vide for. The Democratic bill
commands the production of a bal
lot box whenever five citizens
charge fraud. This latter propo
sition is taken from the platform of
tin; Republican State convention of
last year.
These are minor details over
which there is not likely to ba much
haggling. It ought not to be diffi
cult for both Republicans and Dem
ocrats to get together in a general
way, but the contest is coming over
the question whether, after print
ing the names of the candidates by
the group system of the Australian
l>allot, an opportunity for voting a
whole ticket by a single cross in a
eirele shall be given. On this point
there are differences of opinion
among the members of both parties.
It seems a little hard to require a
man to mark the name of each can
didate in a long ticket. "On the
other hand it is held that voting is
a duty as well as a privilege, and
that a voter ought not to begrudge
the time necessary for properly
.marking a ticket.
There will be much discussion
of this eirele business, and party
ilines will l>ebroken. Pending that
time Die whole subject is back in
committee for revision.
TREATMENT OF*A COLO.
Ssi»(- Good Advice by a Well Known Phy
sician.
A well known physician says that a
• cold car: be easily treated at its outset,
but if neglected may load to la grippe and
pneumonia. lie says that the best home
treatment for the cure of colds and la
jjiippe is Krauso's Cold Cure Capsules.
Ileuses them almost exclusively in his
practice, as they do not a fleet the head as
dots quinine, nor upset the stamach.
This remedy is prepared in soft, soluble
gelatine capsule, which are easily dissolv
ed by the warmth and fluids of the stom
aeh. They arc much preferable to little
hard, sugar-coated pills or tablets that
dways offer objectionable resistance to
assimilation. Krause's Cold Cure posi
tively cures cold in the head, cold in the
chest, cold in the throat or cold in any
i part ot tho body, and it will prevent the
development oi bronchitis or pneumonia,

LOCAL INSTITUTE.
Convened at Emporium in High School
Building, Saturday Morning,
n«rcta 33, 1901.
The flrst session of the Teachers' Lo
cal Institute opened with song by the
Institute, followed with devotional ex
ercises, conducted by Rev. J. M. Rob
ertson.
After a chorus by the High School,
the first subject on the program, "His
tory teaching," was discussed by Miss
Bonham. History is the true story of
man and his environments, socially,
morally, physically. The subject
should be considered under three heads:
[(1) Its educational value. (2) The
| teacher's requirements. (3) Methods
| of teaching. Since, as Shakespeare
: says,"the world's a stage, and the men
and women merely players," the stu
dent should be led to view the stage
from the highest, most unbiased points
of view, so that they may see why the
men and women have played the parts
they have, and they will be the better
! able to take up their part of the drama,
and enact it in the wisest manner.
Miss Bair then read a paper on the
"Aim in primary reading." (1) Make
a child quick in the recognition of
words and letters. (2) Secure his in
terest in the contents, that he may be
able to see the beauty, goodness and
truth in the world's best literature.
The reading of the paper was followed
by a general discussion, opened by Mr.
Peterson, of Sterling Run, and followed
by Mr. Woodward and Miss Collins.
A vocal solo, by Miss Grace Lloyd,
after which Miss Evers, of Beechwood,
talked upon the "Teacher's duty to the
backward pupil." Miss Evers was fol
lowed by Mr. Woodward, who contin
ued the Bame discussion, defining the
various reasons for backwardness.
Dullness is as often due to a physical
defect, as to a lack of mental power.
Mr. Suhrie opened the general discus
sion by saying tho tendency of late has
been to give too much, rather than too
little time to the backward pupil; that
he should be made to think for himself,
not to depend on someone else.
Miss Mazie Gallagher then played a
' violin solo, after which the Institute
adjourned until 1:30 p. m.
The afternoon session was opened
with a chorus by the High School.
Mr. Peterson talked upon "Waste of
time in public schools." (1) Lack of
parental authority. (2) Two many
amusements. (3) Not enough respect
to teacher's authority. The talk was to
parents, teachers and directors.
School visitation was discussed by
Mr. Woodward. It is important that
teachers should become acquainted
with parents, as well as pupils.
A piano duet by Misses Eva and Iva
Leet, was followed by the discussing of
the subject, "Literature in the pupil's
life," by Mr. A. L. L. Suhrie Success
I in teaching depends more upon the
i teacher's capability of appreciating
good literature, than upon the number
of books he has read, or the number of
critics he has heard.
Mr. I. K. Hockley addressed the In
stitute, talking upon the "Relation of
teacher and pupil." The parent in
structs the moral, physical and spirit
ual being, while it is the teacher's
special prerogative to teach the intel
lectual nature, and the work of the two
inseparable.
Miss Edna Auchu played a piano
solo, after which Mr. Josiah Howard
talked upon the public schools meeting
the demand of the business world.
Power to think is power to achieve; the
better the training the greater the
power.
A violin solo was rendered by Miss
Grace Walker.
The Institute adjourned at 4:15.

Letter to ETW. Uasklll.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: You know your painter;
we don't; we only know painters in
general.
There are two sorts, as there are two
sorts of everybody else. One paints as
well as he can; the other as poor as he
can and get business.
The one who paints as well as he can
is all the time learning; the other one
knows it all now.
Josh Billings says "it's better not to
know too much than to know so many
things that a'n't so." There are lots
of things in paint that "a'n't so." Lead
and oil is one of'em.
Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice as
long; is better in every respect; is ready
to dip the brush in; you can depend on
the colors; no mystery; no uncertainty;
costs 110 more; costs less.
We hope you employ Mr. Open-Mind
Painter, and not Mr. Know-it-all-now.
Yours truly,
27 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

Serious trouble has broken out in the
Elk county school at this place, causing
considerable excitement as well as merri
ment to some of the people. A short
time ago the teacher sent two children to
their home for refusing to obey her ord
ers. The parents returned one of the
pupils, ouly to be again sent home. Blood
was then up to fighting heat. The school
directors were called to investigate the
cause of the trouble and accordingly as
sembled last Wednesday to investigate.
No one was present to place the teacher
on the rack. The plaintiffs went to
Squire Whiting, at Sterling Run, on Sat
urday, but he refused to hear the com
plaint. Attorney J. P. McNarney, of
Emporium, was present to protect the in
terests of Miss Terby, the teacher. Yes,
it would be pleasant, but impossibla for
some people to attend to their own busi
ness, so says C. J. Miller.
