A West Virginia Republican.
A. S. Zaner, of Morgantown, West i
Va., formerly a resident of this county, •
was an agreeable PRESS visitor on J I
Wednesday. Mr. Zaner, who is in the i
employ of the Standard Oil Company, j
is emphatic in his declaration that j
West Virginia will give Roosevelt and j
Fairbanks a good safe majority, j •
While the Republians of West Va., j
have great respect for candidate Davis
they openly delare they cannot vote i
to destroy the prosperity of the country ,
by voting against "the robber tariff" i
that has developed their state.
Right Thinking Hen.
Mr. Josiah Howard, the Republican
candidate for Assembly, the honorable '
business man, consistent christian
gentlemin, the employer of hundreds
of laboring men, needs no flattering
meution. The people know him as a
true man, having the welfareof Camer- !
on county always at heart and will elect i
him to represent Cameron county in
the Assembly. Right-minded voters
are thinking men and they think right
when their homes are in danger from
the passage of unwise legislation j
Hence they will support Josiah How- i
ard, who is engaged in the upbuilding
of Cameron county.
Pye—Wright.
Miss GRACE WINIFRED PYE, of this
place, and MR. GEORGE A. WRIGHT, of
Port Allegany were united in marriage
at Rectory of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church, at 11 o'clock this morning, ,
Rev. J. M. Robertson performing the .
ceremony, in the presence of the im- j
mediate family and a few friends. ]
The bride and groom depart onBBu- f
falo Flyer this afternoon for Buftalo i j
and other points. They will reside
at Coudersport, where the groom is {
engaged in business. The bride is a
model young lady and will make the
husband of her choosing a faithful
wife. The groom, who resided here I
last season, is highly spoken of by our | '
friends. The PRESS wishes them well, i I
feeling assured that the Wright Pye ! j
has been secured. j |

DEATH'S DOINGS.
ELLIS.
As announced in last week's PRESS,
the remains of JOSEPH VICTOR ELLIS,
aged 22 years, who was killed at Corry
last Wednesday afternoon, while at
tempting to jump upon a freight
train, arrived in Emporium last Thurs
day evening, accompanied by the
grief stricken father and Undertaker
Risliell. The remains were taken to
the home of the afflicted family
on West Fourth St, were they remain
ed until Saturday afternoon, when the
funeral service took place, being con
ducted by Rev. O. S. Metzler, Pastor
of First Methodist Church, assisted by
Rev. L. B. Twichell, Pastor of First
Baptist Church, and Rev. S. Ebersole,
Pastor of Messiah Church, Sterling
Run, who was an intimate friend of
the family and their Pastor when they
resided at Sterling Hun. The funeral
was largely attended and attested to
the esteem in which the deceased was
held by the friends of the family.
From Kane, where the young man
was employed as "snapper" in the
glass works, a large number of friends
came down to attend the funeral.
JOSEPH VICTOR ELLIS, was the third
son of Mark and Martha Ellis; the sec
ond death from the family often child
ren. He was a quiet, industrious
young man and respected by all who
knew him.
FLORAL OFFERINGS.
The floral offerings were very num
erous and beautiful, from the Kane
friends, Electric Assembly and brothers
and sisters.
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN ATTEND
ANCE.
The following relatives and friends
from out of town attended the funeral:
Mr. Henry and Mr. George Ken
worthy, father and brother of Mrs.
Ellis, of Sterling Run; Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Swallow, Elbon, Pa.; Mrs. L.
Fusser; Miss Lillian and Mr. Lawrence
Fusser, Mrs. K. Mischeau, Mrs. M.
Rhyan, Miss Gertrude Thurstonsone,
Kane; Mrs. James Ilobson, Buck
waiter.
THE ACCIDENT.
An eye witness describes the acci
dent as follows: "While standing in
front of the depot at Corry I noticed
the young man when he attempted to
jump onto the car, losing his hold and
falling at the side of the track, both
feet being crushed. The injured boy
attempted to rise when the car struck
him in the head. He was carried to a
neighboring hotel and medical aid
sent for. He died within a few min
utes, not regaining consciousness."
MO it RISE Y.
Mrs. James Morrisey, aged G5
years, widow of the lato James Morri
sey, died yesterday morning, after a
long illness. The go<>d lady suffered
from the effect of two strokes of paraly
sis, the fatal messenger calling her
came and found her house in order,
the lamps filled and burning. Mrs.
Morrisey was a very estimable lady
and a devout Catholic. The funeral
takes blace from St. Marks Church on
Saturday morning.
The Boy Protectionist.
I am like the boy who hired his sister
to make his shirts. Some one said,
"You could have taken them shirts to
the factory and had them made and
saved $2." "Yes," said the boy protec
tionist, "Sister Sally got a pretty fair
price. She always pays me well for
what Ido for her. That two dollar bill
is still under the same roof with me,
and if sickness or trouble or hard luck
comes to any of our family that money
is there in the house."
The free-trade boy would call his sis
ter a tariff robber.
Eye Specialist.
Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known
Eye Specialist, of Binghamton, N. Y.,
will be at R. H. Hirsch's jewelry
store, Emporium, Pa , November 11th

headache don't fail to call and see Prof.
Budine, as he guarantees to cure all
such cases. Lenses ground and fitted

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27.1904.
Art Exhibit, aOO Pictures, Nov. 9-ia -
For the benefit of the public schools,
to raise a fund by which the wails of
the school rooms may be decorated
permanently with pictures of the high
est artistic merit, the Horace K.
Turner art exhibit will be brought to
Emporium on the above mentioned
date.
This collection of pictures is made
up of carbon-prints and color-prints,
all reproductions of the great master
paintings of the world.
The exhibit is loaned free to the
schools and will be placed on exhibit
in the old Presbyterian church build
ing. An admission fee of 10 cents for
children and 16 cents for adults, single
admission, will be charged to view it.
The terms on which the exhibit is
loaned are that the money raised by
this means shall be expended for
pictures purchased from this company.
Prices of all pictures are stated and
are guaranteed to be its low .'is the
same work can be obtained elsewhere
Subscriptions will also be solicited
from our citizens to swell this fund.
A committee is now operating toward
this end.
We believe that all will see the de
sirability of having placed on the walls
of our school rooms copies of the great
paintings, The originals are visited
by thousands at a great sacrifice. No
one disputes the influence on character
resulting from such a source. Uncon
sciously the mind is influenced by the
grandeur of the painting.
At present the walls are destitute
practically of any permanent decora
tion of this kind.
Any person so desiring may order
for the decorations of their homes
pictures similar to those in the exhibit
at the time the exhibit is made, on
which the school fund will realize a
commission.
Prof. II F. Stauffer on his visit last
week spoke very enthusiastically of
the success of the exhibit as used by
him in Millville a year ago. We think
our pupils and people should have the
opportunity of seeing this beautiful
collection and have acted accordingly.

This Column is for Straight
Party Votes.
1 REPUBLICAN. |X
HOW ■
One glance at advance sample copies
of the official ballot for the November
election in Pennsylvanian is sufficient
to convince politicians that an extra
ordinary blunder has been made in
the new ballot law.
The last Legislature, passed what
was known as the "Focht Ballot law,"
abolishing the old "party column"
with a circle atjits head for a "straight"
party vote, grouping caraidates'
names under the title of th r offices to
which they aspire, but retaining the
"straight" vote provisions by substitu
ting a "party square" at the side at
the left of the ballot for the abandoned
"party circle" and column.
That worked very nicely last fair,
the "grouping" system doing away
with the old cumbersome "blanket
ballot."
For Presidential years, however, the
new law provides that the names of
Presidential electors shall be printed
in party groups or columns as they
were under the old law, a single cross
mark in the "square" at the head of
each electoral column being a vote for
the entire national ticket.
Apparently nobody realized until
See to It.
The elective franchise, the privilege
of deciding by our votes who shall
make and execute our laws, is a privil
ege and responsibility that many fail
to appreciate as such and the principle
underlying this great privilege is
pftldom or never thought of by many.
Vv e are all very ready to find fault with
poor and unjust laws or the failure of
good laws to accomplish the good for
which they were enacted, losing sn»ht
of the fact that we as individuals are
largely responsible for the very thing
thing that we censure.
The vote of any one man counts for
as much as the vote of any other man,
so that if a majority of those who vote
give the subject careful and serious
thought, and are influenced to a decis
ion by the merit of the candidate for
whom they vote, it results not only in
good laws but also in a conscientious
enforcement of same; while, if we are
influenced in our choice by sordid mo
tive, hy pecuniary gain or the prospect
of it, it often results in the election to
office of men who are in no way quali
fied to represent the best interests of
the community from which they are
elected.
The active interest that Mr. Josiali
Howard has always taken, both in sup
porting and in originating movements
that had for advancement of the
good interests of the people and his
constant and consistent effort, both by
precept and example, to uplift the
moral standard of the community, is
surely a convincing reason why he
should receive the aid and votes of the
people. A vote for Josiah Howard is a
vote for the advancement of the inter
ests of the people, and an aggressive
effort toward the promotion of the
material and moral welfare of the whole
county.
Some rtore Smoke.
The East Emporium Independent
has been making a strained effort in
its recent issues to convince eight
hundred and twenty-one voters that
they have been treated with ignominy
and their votes cast aside as of no con
sequence. One would suppose from
the language of the Independent that
the Legislature had thrown out svery
vote that was cast for Mr. Blumle two
years ago. As a matter of fact the
number of votes thrown out as illegal
was one hundred and ninety-seven, re
ducing Mr. Blumle's legal vote to six
hundred and twenty-four, a minority
of all the legal votes cast. The will of
these six hundred and twenty-four
legal voters was trampled upon only
in the manner and sense in which the
will of any minority is set aside.

TO VOTE.
the nam pie ballots were seen that the
lists of thirty-four Presidential elec
tors for each party would appear al
most exactly like the old party col
umns. As a matter ot fact, they cov
er about three-fourths ot the entire
ballot overshadowing the little
"groups" of State and local candidates
at the bottom of the sheet and the new
"party squares" at the leftside.
The danger ia at once apparent.
The average voter, seeing the familiar
old "party columns," as he believes,
naturally will mark his cross at tho
top of it as he has been doing for ten
years, and think he has voted ior tho
whole party ticket In fact he will
■ have voted only for the Presidential
i electors.
I At the head of this column may be
found the way the ballot will start.
If you make a mark in the place desig
nated by an X as above shown, It will
mean a vote for every candidate on the
Republican ticket. It you just make
a mark to the right of the names of
Roosevelt & Fairbanks it will mean a
vote for the Presidential ticket only.
Mark your ballot as indicated above.
What Has Mr. Blumle Done?
From the very first it has been evi
dent that it has been the purpose of
the Independent to becloud the real is
sues of the legislative campaign by an
attempt to keep the air filled with
"vindication" smoke. This policy has
been a mistaken one, for the attempt
to awaken enthusiasm on behalf of
vindicating" Mr. Blumle has been a
most dismal failure. Aside from the
stated outcries of the Independent it
self, there is no audible demand that
Mr. Blumle shall be elect* das a mark
of vindication. The que. tion before
the voters is one that concerns the re
| lative merits of the candidates them
! selves and of tho principles for which
they stand. No intelligent person will
! wish to waste his time in listening to
| appeals for "vindication" until it has
i first been made plain to him that Mr.
, Blumle's qualifications and record
; stamp him as the man who ought to
be elected. One would naturally ex
pect to lind Mr. Blumle's supporters
j pointing with pride to his record at
j Harrisburgand dwelling fondly upon
j the particulars of it; but this natural
expectation has not been met. Is
j there something significant in the fact
| that Mr. Blumle and his supporters
i have maintained such a profound sil
j ence regarding his legislative record?
j A correspondent of the PRESS has in
; timatcd that when a certain measure
| affecting the whiskey interests was be
fore tho House, Mr. Blumle was re
corded as "absent, not voting." An
appeal to the records can easily settle
the matter. Why should not the In
dependent devote some of its space in
these closing days of the campaign to
the recital of the several acts which
make up Mr. Blumle's legislative rec
ord? If his record is not one to be
ashamed of, why should the Indepen
dent withhold it from the people? If
it is one to be ashamed of, then under
110 circumstances can a "vindication"
cry be in order. If Mr. Blumle's rec
ord be a mere zero, it may be multi
plied by a thousand "vindication"
cries, and the product will still be zero.
That his record has been anything
more than zero does not appear
from any information that the Inde
pendent has seen fit to impart to its
readers. The people would really like
to know what Mr. Blumle has done, or
not done, as legislator. Will the In
dependent meet this reasonable de
mand?
Mr. Blumle acted as Representative
for Cameron county two terms, four
years in all, and drew about four thons
and dollars from the state as pay for
salary, traveling expenses, etc., for the
two sessions.
During the first term 110 one heard
what he did. In the last session he
presented his "Baby bill" and made
speeches for it.
Some unimportant bills he voted for
but ordinarily he "dodged" bills be
cause they were Republican or because
they were antagonistic to his own busi
ness.

The Independent gives the following
counsel to voters: "Do not ask for as
sistance, but take all the money you
can get." Last week the Independent
spoke in a deprecating way of cam
paign speeches, intimating it knows of
other methods that are more potent.
This counsel to voters shows plainly
what these potent methods are whicfe
the Independent praises. If bribe
giving or taking is a criminal offense.,
what shall we say of an utterance such
as this, deliberately inciting to the tak
ing of a bribe?
The Independent has much to say re
cently relative to the State paying the
taxes 011 their lands. What is the use
in talking such rot, Hockley. Cam
eron county owds one solid block of
land in Emporium. Can the Borough
authorities collect taxes from the
county? See! It would be more to
your credit and the benefit of the en
tire county, the over-taxed farmer as
well as the mechanic, were you to de
vote at least a fraction of your time to
the assrssment of lands, thereby light
ening the burdens. Try it once.
An exchange gives this excellent ad
vice to hunters: Gunners who go out
to hunt the frisky squirrel or rabbit or
the timid pheasant should be careful
how they disobey the trespass notices
posted on the properties. They should
also be careful about shooting. Few
land owners would refuse permission
to hunt on his premises if he were ask
ed, and by getting permission a hunter
will know that he is safe from having
the trespass law enforced on him, and
then the property owner will know
some one is hunting in his woods and
will warn his family to stay in doors
until the danger is passed.
The Calamity Howl.
According to General Manager
Hockley, our county is sure to dwindle
and die as soon as the Howards finish
their timber, which will be in about
three years,
There is one man in particular who
for ten years lias preached the opposite
and that man is Mr. Josiah Howard
our next Representative in the Legis
lature. Mr. Howard not only believeg
in a big and bright future for onr
county but is backing up his belief not.
only by continued purchases of farnk
lands and building permanent improve
ments, but by investing money in new
business enterprises, and our large pay
rolls and increased population make it
look as though some of the bright
future were already here.
No, Mr. Hockley wo are not dying;
and not only Mr. Howard, but the
whole Republican party, stand for Ex
pansion, Progress and Growth.
