EDITORIAL nENTION.
President Roosevelt is goiug to
investigate the Dawes Commission
and no guilty man will escape.
The postoffice investigation prom
ises to reach a conclusion and go
out with a blaze of indictments.
Too bad Mr. Bryan cannot have
his sail area measured. It would
doubtless reduce his time allow
ance.
There were two points 011 which
Gladstone and Salisbury always
agreed. Both were High Church
men and both hated tobacco.
The President's earnest insis
tence for fair play throughout the
government service will insure the
support of the American people.
The effort to injure the adminis
tration by besmerching the reputa
tion of Secretary Hitchcock
promises to prove a boomerang for
the newspapers that attempted it.
In the course of a very dull politi
cal season, the only sound to break
the stillness is the strident voice of
Farmer Bryan, "eliminating" an
other of his party's possible candi
dates.
The twenty-six year old man
who sought entrance at Annapolis
by giving his age as eighteen,
should have tried a young ladies'
seminary instead of a naval
academy.
An American naval officer reports
from Hong Kong that the only na
val vessels in Asiatic waters which
are not fitted with wireless teleg
raphy apparatus are the American
and the Chinese ships.
The report that the President
was conducting an investigation of
the relations between union and
non-union labor in all the executive
departments indicates his deter
mination to treat all laborers with
equal fairness.
Before leaving for Europe, Sec
retary Root announced that every
important problem which would
come up for settlement before the
first of January, by the War De
partment, save emergencies prob
lems, had been disposed of.
The inclusion of the cost of re
pairing the injury to the Massa
chusetts iu the expense of the
Oyster Bay naval review argues
grave ignorance on the part of
many editors. The Massachusetts
was injured going into Bar Harbor,
not when starting for Oyster Bay.
The bookbinders' union has filed
its charges against William Miller,
their expelled member who was re
instated by order of the President.
The burthen of the charges is that
Miller was illegally married some
twenty-five years ago and, although
he has lived happily with his wife
ever since, it is claimed that he
cannot therefore properly bind
books. As Hamlet sayetli, "treat
a man according to his deserts and
who would escape hanging,'' and
as ivepling sayetli, "we are all of
us liars, are half of us thieves and
the rest are as rank as can be."
For Sale Cheap.
A quantity of second-hand window
Bask, casing .and blinds complete. A
number of doors and casings, all in
good order.
Also a counter, drawers, shelving,
show case, store front, etc. Five
barrels of mortar ready for use. Any
one needing anything in this line will
find it greatly to their interest to call
on me. FRANK SHIVES.

The Democrats of This State.
This authoritative statement is
made that the Democratic Bosses of
Pennsylvania —there are such
things, it seems—have decided up
on the ticket which the State
convention will nominate next
week, says the Philadelphia Press.
Nobody doubts that the selections
thus made will be promptly ratified
by the convention.
What more concerns the Demo
cracy of Pennsylvania however,
than the ticket it will nominate is
its attitude respecting the great
struggle now going on in the party
to determine which way it Jwill
head in the coming presidential
campaign. The Democrats of the
State cannot hope to elect any of
their candidates, but as in other
States, such as lowa, where the
party is in the minority, they can
have an influential share in deter
mining what the party policy shall
be. They can take a recognized
place in the party councils of the
nation, or they can stand aside
timidly and supinely and let other
States determine while they tag
tamely along.
Two State conventions have
acted upon the matter this week.
It was undoubtedly expected that
Nebraska, being Bryan's State,
would go back unequivocally to
the Kansas City platform, and
that is what it has done. In Ohio
the situation appeared for a time
rather different, but as Mayor Tom
Johnson secured control of the
convention and nominated himself
for Governor the Kansas City plat
form and unlimited Bryanism
have been endorsed. It is consis
tent with what the party in that
State has been for a generation.
Whatever may be said as to its
wisdom, the Democracy of Ohio
has never been wanting in the
courage necessary to declare itself.
The Pennsylvania Democrats
cannot ignore the issue now stir
ring the party in all directions
without declaring to the whole
country that they are kicking
either in convictions or courage.
They cannot deceive Bryan and
that wing of the party he repre
sents by silence. On all occasions
the man who has been twice named
as the party's presidential candi
date has insisted that there shall
be no departure from the Kansas
City platform. On the other hand
a mere failure to indorse that plat
form will not satisfy that element
which is seeking to reorganize the
party, and abandon the Populistic
platforms that have been so dis
astrous.
Anything but a frank and un
mistakable declaration on one side
or the other is certain to invite the
contempt of Democrats of other
States, no matter to which wing of
the party they belong. If the
Democratic bosses of the State
want to be leaders they have the
chance open to them.
Letter to S. J. Hacket.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: We suspect you'd like the
tale, how a woman beat two hardware
dealers in Girard, Pa.
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead and zinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs.
E. It. Bowman, druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than 81.25 a gallon. Mrs. Bow
man can. She has sold about all the
paint, that has bean sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold our artists'
materials. Had some sense and force,
besides; she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint, and told the people.
Mr. Burt Young bought a gallon De
voe for rooms that had always taken a
gallon; had half left.
Mr. E. 11. Hiler, jeweler, painted De
voe, and says it goes futher—no parti
culars.
Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
expensive before he bought it; brought
back nearly halt of his paint, and said it
was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal satis
faction. So much for a cheap-paint towu
with a bright woman in it.
Yours truly.
F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S. Murry & Coppersmith sell our
paint.
Ten Thousand Churches
In the United States have used the
Longman & Martinez Pure Paints.
Every Church will be given a liberal
quantity whenever they paint.
Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for Linseed
oil (worth 60 cents) which you do when
you buy thin paint in a can with a paint
label on it.
8 & 6 make 14, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy
only eight gallons of L. & M., and mix
six gallons of pure linseed oil with it.
You need only four gallons of L. &
M. Paint, and three gallons of Oil
mixed therewith to paint ago. ' 3ized

Houses painted with these paints
never grow shabby, even after 18 years.

In Praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy.

praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diorrhoea Remedy." says Mr. John
Hamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas, "I suf
fered one week with bowel trouble and
took all kinds of medicine without get
ting any relief, when my friend, Mr. C.
Johnson, a merchant here, advised me to
take this remedy. After taking one

heart for putting this great remedy in

THE CHAMPION
MIXED PAINT
Sold by L,. TAGGART has nr
superior.
Fourteen years ago I painted my
house with these paints and am now,
for the first time since, repainting it.
H. L. Smith, the painter, says he never
knew of a house in better condition
for painting after having stood bo long.
A gentleman, whose name I will not
mention, living in our town, painted
his house thirteen years ago, with
these paints and he has engaged some
paints to repaint, saying that he would
have no other.
Dr. Heilman will also testify as to
the merits of these paints. County jail
painted four years ago. John Lind's
two houses painted two years ago and
many others, all speak for the virtue
and staying qualities of these paints,
and is better evidence than any man's
word. Look at them; then buy the
Champion paints and paint your house
and be happy.
Also paper your house with the ele
gant wall paper at Taggart's and b«
doubly happy.
