YELLOW JOURNALISM
VERSUS
REPUBLICANISM.
We are amused, rather than con
cerned, by the declarations of the lato
Democratic state convention, for we
readily recognize, as all people must,
the co-operation of certain nowspapers
in their preparation, which papers,
failing in their attempt to disrupt the
Republican party, have crawled under
the tents of the Democracy with their
stale and false charges and succeeded
in having them adopted as a Demo
cratic platform. The platform of the
late Democratic state convention will
be found in the flies of the so-called
yellow journals during the past few
montlis.
We believe in surrounding the press
with every constitutional guarantee
vouchsafed to it since the foundation
of our government, but it is a public
menace that these constitutional guar
antees should be so misused as to
have permitted many of our newspa
pers to have degenerated into a yel
low journalism such as is detrimental
to any state or country.
V/e c!iargo the so-called yellow jour
nals with being subcidized by the full
page a - which they carry.
The ac'veit s:?r is permitted to dictate
their policy, and at his behest these
riewsj .pers have perverted the news
columns ant! the editorial page from
beir.g an honest record of dally events
to a labored aiijmpt to misrepresent
facts. 1■» raet from the platform of
the Republican state convention of
Pennsylvania, Harrißburg, August, El.

McKinley Loved The South.
lit a letter to the Manufacturers'
Record of Baltimore, United States
Senator J. L. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, tells of an interview he
had with President McKinley one
day during the early days of the
Spanish war.
"The President," says Senator
McLaurin, spoke beautifully and
tenderly of the Southern people,
and of how he intended to use the
power and influence of his great
office to reunite our country.
"I can recall the words, but who
can point the earnestness and elo
quence, as, raising one hand on
high, he said: 'Senator, by the
help of God, I propose to be the
President of the whole country, the
-fouth as much as the North, and
before the end of iny term the South
will understand this.'
"No wonder, as a true Southern
man, I loved and trusted President
McKinley. I stood by him in the
Senate and elsewhere, and J thank
God that I did.
"Patriotic in purpose and pure
in heart, bis noble soul is now with
Him whom the hate of man nailed
to the cross. Like Lincoln, who
saved the country, McKinley who
reunited it, dies a martyr to envy
and bate."
Stricken With Paralysis.
Henderson <!rimott, of this place, was
stricken with partial paralysis and com
pletely lost the use of one ami and side.
After being treated by an eminent phy
sician for quite a while without relief, my
wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Baliu, and after usinir two bottler of it he
is almost entirely cuied.—GEO. It. MC
DONALD, Man, Logan county, W. Ya.
Several other very remarkable cures of
partial paralysis have been effected by
the use of this liniment. It is most wide
ly known, however, as a cure for rheuma
tism, sprains and bruises. For sale by

VERKES WEAK AT HOME
Candidate for Supreme Court Not j
Strong Among His Neighbors.
A MAN OF VIOLENT PREJUDICES J
| He Is Assured of Defeat Should He 1
Aspire to Re-election to the Com
mon Pleas Bench In Bucks County 1
at the Coming Election.
Special correspondence from 1
Doylestown tells of the weakness of 1
the Democratic candidate for the su- j
preme- bench, who at the instance of j
the Wanamaker interest in Philadel-1
phia has been placed upon the Union
party ticket.
"Judge Harraan Yerkes, of Doyles- j
town, the Democratic and anti-Repub
lican candidate for judge of the state \
supreme court,"says a Doylestown I
correspondent, "has presided over the |
courts of Bucks county for nearly 18 j
years. He was first elected judge by
more than a thousand Democratic ma-1
jority. At the close of his first term !
he was renominated and elected by
the bare majority of about 230 votes.
The prediction has been repeatedly
made in Bucks county lately that he
cannot be re-elected to another term
because of the enemies he has made
in and out of his party. His second
election as Judge of the Bucks county
courts was only made possible by the
votes of Republicans who supported |
his candidacy.
"During his second term he has de- j
veloped the attributes of a czar. He i
has assumed to regulate and manage
men and affairs in his own county as j
only a despotic ruler would do. He ;
has commanded grand juries to do his j
biddlngas noother judge in these days
is known to do. He has gone far out 1
of his way to exert his power, and has
lost the esteem of many of the best j
people of Bucks county.
A MAN OF VIOLENT PREJUDICES.
"Judge Yerkes is a man of strong
and violent prejudices. These preju
dices he carries upon the bench and
allows them to control him in certain j
instances. Up to the first nomination ;
of Bryan he was an intensely bitter ;
Democrat, but in the first Bryan cam
paign he sunk his partisanship and
opposed Bryan's election. For this he ;
has never been forgiven by straight- !
out Democrats.
"During that campaign, as an illus
tration, Judge Yerkes came to dislike 1
a certain Democrat in Doylestown who |
was enthusiastic in support of Rryan.
This man headed a company which !
later applied to court for a distillery i
license. Judge Yerkes, many believed,
declined to issue the license because ,
of his difference with this man on tho j
Bryan issue. The case was carried to 1
the supreme court, which directed
Judge Yerkes to issue the license, all
the conditions of the law having been
i complied with.
"In a subsequent case,not at all con
j nected with the one referred to, Judge
i Yerkes took occasion to utter a slur
' upon the supreme court such as is
[ without parallel in the judicial his
tory of this commonwealth. That de
liverance should be upon record in l
the Bucks county courts, and might !
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1901.
have been made the basis of impeach
ment proceedings had it been desired
to proceed in the matter.
"The prejudices of Judge Yerkesare
many and deep-seated. He Is extreme
ly sensitive, and dislikes criticism. He
himself criticises freely, but he does
not want his views or his actions com
mented upon adversely. He resents
anything of this sort, and many of his
opinions are burdened with this re
sentment.
"During the early years of his pres
ent term the Republicans elected as
district attorney the county chairman
of that party, who directed the fight
agafnst his re-election. That district
attorney had the most trying experi
ence that has ever befallen a similar
official in the county. Judge Yerkes
seemed to take advantage of every op
portunity to humiliate him.
"Judge Yerkes lacks the judicial
temperament in a conspicuous degree,
some intimation of which has been
given. He can not restrain himself
in his likes and his dislikes, and car
ries them upon the bench. He never
forgets an enemy and rarely remem
bers a friend. He is absolutely selfish
and self-opinionated.
"There is another feature of Judge
Yerkes* unfitness for the supreme
judgeship, and that is his lack of ex
perience In the higher or more In
volved law. Almost his entire time as
a judge has been given to petty crimi
nal cases. He has rarely been called
upon to pass on questions involving
momentous or even intricate ques
tions of law.
"Much of the business of the Bucks
county courts has been and is of a
minor character. The business of the
county is almost exclusively agricul
tural, and that, as everybody knows,
does not call for much or important
litigation. Consequently Judge Yerkes'
experience as a lawyer and as a judge
Is with cases of no great importance.
"Judge Yerkes, realizing, no doubt,
that 110. can not be re-elected to the
position he now holds in Ills own
county, has exerted every possible ef
fort to (secure another job. He has
even thrown over his strong Demo
cratic tendencies to accept the Btraw
of independent Republican support.
He wants to sit upon the supremo
court bench, and ho is willing to sub
vert his party inclinations to take ad
vantage of every opportunity that may
be the means of securing the coveted
position. It is no lofty ambition that
urges Judge Yerkes on in the pending
campaign. He simply does not de
sire to retire from the judiciary to
the place of a mediocore lawyer In a
Small country town."
Can C'nre For 2250,000.
Director General Buchanan says the
euly problem now confronting the Ex
position is how to iind days enough
within the closing weeks to adequately
take care of the many attractions and
features now being planned, lie pre
dicts a great attendance during the
month of October and one far in ex
cess of the highest estimates that have
been made by the most sanguine. In
answer to the inquiry as to whether or
not Buffalo could take care of the
crowds, he said there was no difficulty
whatever in this regard; that Buffalo
could easily care for 250,000 strangers
every day comfortably and at reason
able prices.

Dear Sir: Did you know that there
is twice as much paint in a gallon of
Devoe lead and zinc as there is in a
gallon of some of the mixed paints ?
Ferguson & Thompson's store, Delhi,
N. Y., was painted some years ago with
a mixed paint—took 32 gallons. Re
painted last spring with Devoe.
Mr. Lynch, our agent, said 16 gallons
would be enough. They had 3 gallons
left.
