Bepublicans Have Decided to Meet at Harrisburg oil Aug. 21. DEMOCRATS CAUGHT NAPPING. fiiftftafte of u Hill Through the LPK l.slature Will Protect the Present Republican Superior Court .luMtieen (Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, May 21.—Gen. Frank Reeder, chairman of the Republican state committee, having made a can vass of the members of that body and found that a majority favor the hold ing of the Republican state convention in this city on Aug. 21 next, will shortly issue a call for the convention to he held here on that date. This fact has attracted attention to the work that will have to be perform ed by this convention. There are but two candidates to be nominated, one for justices of the supreme court to succeed Justice Potter, of Allegheny county, and a candidate for state treas urer to take the place of Col. James E. Barnett. AS TO CANDIDATES. There is not likely to be any opposi tion to the nomination of Justice Pot ter to succeed himself. No one else has been mentioned for this honor, and, in accordance with the practice of re-electing members of the judiciary who have served well and faithfully, he will be nominated for the full term. He holds his present position under an appointment by the governor to fill an unexpired term. A state treasurer cannot succeed him self, so that Col. Barnett will retire at the end of his present term. He has made a very efficient and attentive pub lic officer, and under his administration the funds of the commonwealth have continued to be guarded safely, as they have been in the past. There are several gentlemen mention ed to succeed him, but the only one for whom friends are making a can vass is Representative Frank G. Har ris, of Clearfield county. Mr. Harris lias been a stalwart among stalwart Re publicans and a conscientious and suc cessful legislator. He has a splendid record as a member of the house, and his recent activity in the cause of pure butter must command admiration and support of the farming element. He is the author of the Harris anti-oleo margarine bill, which, after a hard fight, he succeeded in putting through the house of representatives. Among others who have been mentioned for the nomination of state treasurer, al though none of them is regarded as an aspirant for the place, are Senator H. H. of Warren county, Repre sentative A. Nevon Pomeroy of Frank lin and Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives William T. Marshall of Allegheny. REPUBLICANS WERE ALERT. Republicans members of the legisla ture are still smiling over the manner in which they caught their Democratic colleagues napping when they put ■through a bill which will protect the present Republican membership of the superior court of Pennsylvania. While had the matter been made a party is sue, the Republicans would possibly have had no difficulty in passing the legislation they have secured, they are iileased to have slipped through a bill giving them what they desired without a contest and before the Democrats knew what was going on. Under the old law, on the expiration of the terms of office of Justices W. W. Porter, of Philadelphia, and W. D. Porter, of Allegheny, one of them "would have to retire to make place for a representative of the minority party, ioth of them being Republicans. There was introduced in the state senate some time ago a bill which at tracted little interest. It amended th» act of 1899 regulating the election of judges of the superior court. Under existing conditions, when two tir more judges of that court are to be -elected, the voters are restricted to •rating for the entire number to be elected, less one. This provision of the act was inserted to give the Dem ocrats representation on the bench, when there was more than one vacancy to be filled. The bill which passed last week amends the law by allowing vot ers to vote for the entire number to be elected, except when four or more va cancies are to be filled, when the mi nority party Is given an opportunity to elect one. TO PROTECT PRESENT JUSTICES. This amendment becomes Inopera tive after 1909, and the present law is then again to take effect. This will permit of the re-election of Judges Por ter of Philadelphia and Porter of Alle gheny on th« same Republican ticket in 1908, when their present terms ex pire. If this change in the law were not made and these two Republicans were the only justices whose seats on the bench were then to be filled, a Demo crat would b& elected in place of one of them. Judge P. P. Smith, the pres ent Democratic member of the court, or whoever may be nominated by the Democrats to succeed him, will be pro tected by this amendment, as the terms of Republican Judges Rice, Beaver and Orlady expire at the same time, 1906, and their being four vacancies to fill, the Democrats would get one of them. In the eveut of a vacancy occurring by death or resignation of any of these judges before the expiration of their terms the Democrats could not under the bill just passed elect one of their party in 1905. It has been estimated that not less than two hundred million dol lars are expended in the United States for advertising, chiefly in newspapers. It is also estimated that a hundred years ago not as much as one hundred thousand dollars a year was paid for adver tising. Then, and for many years later, merchants and many others advertised mainly to help support the local newspapers, and not to promote business. Now nobody advertises in a spirit of charity,but purely as a business proposition. Every advertiser fully expects to get profitable returns from his ad vertising investment. That the business men of this country ex pend millions annually for news paper space is the best kind of proof that newspaper .advertising does pay.—Philadelphia Record. Love's According to Nationality. Some writer asserts that a French woman will love her husband if he is either witty or chivalrous; a German woman, if lie does not dis turb her ease and comforttoo much; a Spanish woman, if he wreaks vengeance on those who incur his displeasure; an Italian woman, if he is dreamy and poetical; a Dan ish woman, if he thinks that her native country is the brightest and happiest on earth; a Rusian woman, if he despises all westerners as mis erable barbraians; an English wo man, if he succeeds in ingratiating himself with the court and the aris tocracy; an American woman, if he has plenty of money.
