MORRISON, McKean County. George W. Beavers, in the post office scandal, lias been indicted and it looks as though the end had been reached. Even the slump in Wall Street has not affected the prosperity of the nation and the last hope of the democrats is thus destroyed. It begins to look as though Oys ter Bay and Buzzard's Bay were two bays with but a single mind— on the race suicide question. Senator Piatt of New York fa vors Chicago for the next Republican oonvention. For Chicago to cap ture to big event would make St. Louis crv aloud. There are a good many people who will suspect that Senator Piatt of New York was joking when he suggested Senator Aldrich for vice- Bresident. Speculation as to the vice-presi dential candidate continues to fur nish material for a lot of hot weather stories which harm no one and earn space for the newspaper boys. The highest wage in the world is $78.30 a minute for a day of six Hows. It is received by the Czar of Russia and it is doubtful if many people would.care to thread his way amid plots and dynamite bombs even for the wage. Speaker-to-be Cannon has gone to New England, the president has pronounced in favor of financial legislation and it is probable that the Repul licaus in the next Con gress will gt:t together on a bene tfciai measure with their usual harmony and good sense. Representative Landis has a new remedy for lynching. He would have every State legislature pass a law making a sheriff from whose custody a prisoner is taken, lose his position and become ineligible to any other. He would further make the county in which the out rage is committed liable to damages of from $1,500 to 82,500 to be for feited to the heirs of the lynched. Just About Bedtime.

Newspaper "Roast#." 1 M'IIOKESSIO.NAL, UNPROFITABLE AMI SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED. By Daniel Wheston, editor Franklin (Minn.) Tribune. A Herbert Spencei can outline a code of moral and ethical conduct based on the laws of nature that all mankind can follow with impunity, but he who would attempt to com pile a complete code of ethics for the newspaper profession applic able to all localities will fail in his undertaking, as the writers of the many excellent articles along this line in previous issues of The Am erican Press have intimated, and truthfully, that the policy of a newspaper, and a country news paper especially, is necessarily governed by environment. Yet there are rules of conduct that have a worldwide application— verities governing the profession that are as broad as civilization it self—and, failing to observe this code, no newspaper man can hope to reach a dizzy height in the pro fession. First among the sins of news paper men, and a failing common among country editors, are the petty quarrels among themselves. If there is anything that stifles the country newspaper and warps the judgment of its editor more than quarreling with a contemporary I have failed to observe accurately. But I am positive that there is not. It seems to me that these little "scraps" among editors are purely a disregard for the dignity of their calling and a gross violation of the ethics of the profession, if we are to place journalism in the cata gory of the professions, and to-day more than at any stage of the world's progress is the newspaper given a place among the callings of dignity. Let us for one moment imagine two lawyers, two doctors or two merchants engaged in a foolish little war of words and branding each other with the appellations of "graf ter," "shyster," etc., as some edi tors are continually doing. How long would their supply of dignity last, and how long would the. pub lic repose in them the dignity due all men engaged in honorable call ings? Whenever I pick up an ex change and see a "roast" directed at some other member of the craft I at once conclude that here is an editor who is wasting his energy on the desert air and making a consummate ass of himself besides. And isn't this about what the aver age person thinks about it? The same principle, in my opin ion, applies to attacks on private citizens or even those in public station. Just as soon as a man becomes an apologist he is surrend ering, and just as soon as a man starts to pursue the course of mali cious "roasts" just as sure is his paper in a state of decadence. No newspaper can be in a healthy con dition when its editor is in an un healthy frame of mind, and an edi tor in a healthy frane of mind is an editor who is broad minded, optim istic, generous, fearless and free from malice. Not alone are out and out "roasts" to be discourag ed, but all indiscreet hints and jabs of any description. Little sarcams and semihumorous squibs directed at individuals may appeal to the vulgar sensibilities of a certain ele ment, but that element of right thinking people to whom the newspaper that wishes to attain any standing must devote itself, as a rule, has no time for matter of this nature. Newspaper men of a combative nature often charge their brethern of more conservative views with weakness and a cringing fear of expressing themselves lest they suffer a pecuniary loss, and rarely are these charges true. Instead the latter class have a deep sense of the duty they owe the public and their profession. There are few editors in this land who will speak out fearlessly and honestly when matters of grave public con cern demand it. And when they do speak their utterances fall with far heavier weight than those who are continually harping on the wrongs of society ami jabbing at public men and private individuals. There is a something inexplicably grand in the feeling that you are laboring in a community where you have the good will of all—not alone your patrons, but your broth ers in the calling. Evolution in its onward march has not left the newspaper by the wayside, but has on the other hand, placed it in front of the caravan of progress,and no editor need flatter himself that anything but fair, impartial utter ances, constant vigilance in work ing for the best interests of those about him and kindiy words for those in his calling will meet with lasting success.—American Press.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1903 Snnkc Story Containing More Imag ination Than Veracity. The following communication has been received from Sunville and indi cates that the moral atmosphere of that sedate settlement needs purification, "SUNVILLE, June. 22— (Secial.)— One day last week R. L. Hoover, while skid ding logs, put the chain around what be supposed to be a small hemlock log. The chain was securely fastened when, to his surprise and consternation, he found that he had captured a huge black snake, wbicb, by this time, bad become aroused, and objecting to that kind of a necktie, became enraged and bad begun to give battle, when the team became frightened and ran away. "They bad not gone far through the undergrowth when the snake threw three coils of its latter end around a small tree, which was near. This sud den halt broke the chain and at the same time dislocated the spinal column of the reptile, which has since been on exibition at Fetterman Cross Road. The tree was almost torn out by its roots, and so firmly had the tree been gripped that the bark was deeply in dented, plainly showing the number of coils."—Oil City Derrick. Teachers Wanted.

"About six years ago for the first time in uiy life I had a sudden and severe atlack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of MorgaD, Texas. "I got tem porary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suf feied more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My hus band spent hundreds of dollars for phy sicians' prescriptions and treatment with out avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy with the testimonial of a man whe had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I conclud ed to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realise that 1 was well again, or believn it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me." For sale by L.

Fie has the names of 87 habitual drunk ards on his little list which has been mailed to every bar-tender in the place. The men on the list are not to be sold any liquor. Most of the saloon keep ers approve of the action of the Bur gess and will carry out his instructions to the letter. His authority for taking such a course lies in the act of 1854, which provides that any person will fully giving,selling or furnishing liquor to any man ofknown intemperate habita shall be guilty of a misdemeanor shall be liable to a fine of from flO to S6O and imprisonment from 10 to 60 days. Any member of the drunkard's family or a magistrate may give notice to the saloon-keeper. Advertising Metaphors. Advertising is the plow that first lays bare the ground for planting. Advertising is the drill that scatters the seeds of business success. Advertising is the cultivator that pulverized the clods and keeps the roots properly loosened. Advertising is the geiitle rain that falls upon the plant and nurtures it. Advertising is the warm sunshine that caresses it and causes it to blossom forth. Advertising is the weeder that up roots the rank aud foreign growths that attempt to choke it. Advertising is the harvester that garners the golden grain. Advertising is the fertilizer and pre pared the ground for another and better crop. Get connected with the live wire of inspiration and your thoughts will tingle.—"Judicious Advertising."

It is a mistake to assume, however, that no good thing can, or ever will, come out of Elk cjunty. A number of famous people had their orgin there. We have it on the authority of Dr. W. J. McKnight, who has made a specialty of pioneer history, that Victoria Woodhull, who once ran for President of the United States on the Woman's Rights ticket, and now the wife of an English noble man, was the wife of "Buck" Clafflin, a well-known character and hunter of Elk county, Mary Lease, the Kansas politician, to whom is attributed the defeat of John J. Ingalls, was born at Daguscahonda, Elk county. Her father kept the toll-gate at Ridgway along in the 40s, and Mary Ellen, when a little barefoot girl, was often seen by our old inhabitants loit ering about the gate. P. P. Bliss, who acquired a world-wide reputation as a singer with the evangelists, Moody and Sankey, was a Caledonia boy.—Brock wayville Record. Cameron county has no objection to crediting Mary Ellen Lease to Elk county, but we will not relinquish our claim to Victoria Woodhull and Tennie C. Claflin—both of whom were born here, as related in the history of Cameron county by Hon. John Brooks, indisputable authority. We Know Some, Too. About a year ago, a cranky sort of an old fellow came into this office as mad as a hornet and stopped his paper. We have frequently met him on the street since that time, and it is very amusing to note the look of surprise on the old fellow's face that we are still in existence, regardless of the fact that he "stopped his paper." Some day—and it won't be very long, either —the poor old fellow will turn up bis toes. His spiteful old heart will be stilled forever. Neighbors and friends will follow bis lifeless clay out to the cemetery and lay him to rest among flowers. An abituary will appear in these columns, telling what a kind, good father, worthy neighbor and be loved citizen he was while; the record* ing angel will overlook for charity's sake and in a Very short time he will be forgotten.—North East Breeze. Just As You See It. An exchange remarks that many a woman parades up the church aisle in a new style hat and gown followed by her husband in a threadbare coat and last year's hat. Yes, many a man par ades down the street with his tank full of beer and a cigar between bis teeth, heading for a saloon or a billiard hall, whose wife hasn't had a hat or coat for 16 years and who daily works over the washtub to gain a livelihood for herself and children.
