Capt. C. F. Barclay for Congress. J
Honors are coming thick and '
fast to Cameron county, the He- j
publican party of this congression- '
aland judicial district, havingcon
ceeded the nomination in both dis- j
tricts to Little Cameron. At Du I
Bois, last Thursday, our worthy 1
citizen, Gluts. F. Barclay was ac- !
corded the nomination on 10th !
ballot. While our citizens are i
deeply indebted to the honorable '
gentlemen who i the
eminent fitness of our candidate, !
all feel that the compliment thus j
bestowed upon Cameron county j
should be accepted by our people, i
of all parties, in its true light. ;
Cameron county has never before j
been accorded a district nomina- I
tion at the hands of the majority !
party, therefore let Mr. Barclay '
receive the solid vote of our citizens, j
regardless of party. Our candi
date is very popular throughout j
this district and was selected on !
account of his nomination being |
satisfactory to the entire party, re
gardless of faction. Our candi- ■
date is free from all entanglements, \
is no man's man, but the represen- j
tative of the people. Mr. Barclay's I
election will follow by an immense!
majority. Little Cameron will be j
practically unanimous for Capt. C. j
F. Barclay for Congress, as well as !
Judge Green for president judge, |
party lines ha ving been obliterated, j
Little Cameron is on the map, sure !

The unwarranted attack on that ;
veteran Republican, Wesley R.
Andrews, chairman of the Republi- j
can state committee, does not
meet with the approval of those
Republicans who vote straight,
no matter if they do not always
agree with the sentiments of the
candidate. The Harrisburg Tele
graph hits the nail pat, as follows:
' "~vVes" Andrews was a straight
Republican many years before a j
lot of the professional trouble-mak
ers were old enough to butt into
the Pennsylvania political game,
and he's been a straight, Republi
can throughout all the years in
which the aforesaid professionals
have been battering at the party
supremacy.
He's the kind of a Republican
who supports the ticket whether j
he's been permitted to name it or!
not."

"Not a Presidential Year."
"This is not a Presidential year,"
remarks Mr. Emery. "It will be
time enough to discuss national is
sues two years hence."
It is true that the vote will not
be taken for two years, but with
that single exception this is very
much of a Presidential year.
In tin; first place, no State can
getaway from National issues when
the President himself sets the pace
and members of his Cabinet go up
on the platform and deliver ad
dresses. The majority in the House
of Representatives is at stake. We
are to determinein November next
whether the policies of Theodore
Roosevelt are to he supported or
are to be frustrated by turning Con
gress over to the Democrats.
Pennsylvania must take a most
important hand. Republican dis
affection here, resulting Jin the
loss of several districts, as would
inevitably be the case, might alone
block the good work of the Presi
dent.
Again, how can Mr. Emery ig
nore the fact that this is the year
when the Democratic Party is ac
tually picking out its candidate for
President?
Not a Presidential year, indeed!
What! with Pennsylvania Demo
crats hailing Bryan as the leader,
with State after State declaring for
Bryan through Democratic conven
tions, we should not discuss nation
al questions now? Absurd!
Mr. Emery nor no other man can
separate State and National issues,
neither in Pennsplvania nor in any
other Commonwealth, this year.
The issues are inextricably inter
woven.
Cnfortunately for Mr. Emery, he
is on the wrong side of the fence.
HE IS THE CANDIDATE OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY—
of the opponents of President Roose
velt—NOT OF THE PRESI
DENT'S FRI ENDS.
He inav express regard for the
President. Yes, but he looks to
the support of the Bry,mites and
cannot succeed without them, and
the Bryanites are using his name
to defeat the Roosevelt policies.
What are these State issues that
he wishes to discuss? Corruption
in politics? But the Republican
Party has already made corruption
almost impossible by the passage of
the most drastic legislation that
any State possesses, and Edwin S.
Stuart stands squarely upon these
splendid reforms. Mr. Emery rep
resents nothing whatever in the
way of honest politics that Mr.
Stuart does not represent.
Corporation greed? The control
of corporations by the people? I >oes
he wish to discuss that subject?
Very well, but what does he pro
pose to do that Mr. Stuart is not
pledged to? Ilis own conventions
—the Lincoln Party's, which he
owned, and the Democratic Party's,
which he controlled—have made a
few promises, but, as Secretary
Taft advises all voters to do, "com
pare Democratic promises with RE
publican peiformances." In
the light of the Republican per
formances in the special
session of the Legislature, the
pledges of the Republican conven
tion to extend the policies of Presi
dent Roosevelt into Pennsylvania,
to force corporations to do the peo
ple exact justice, cannot be lightly
cast aside by Mr. Emery.
Besides, this whole corporation
subject is one that concerns the
National administration as well as
the policy of a State. Pennsylva
nia, through her Republican con
vention, is placed squarely upon
the platform with President Roose
velt and urges for the State just
what he urges for the Nation.
In a manner both Mr. Emery
and Mr. Stuart are after the same
results, but Mr. Stuart is endorsed
by the great Republican strength of
Pennsylvania, the strength which
is ready to stand with Roosevelt
upon every question, while, on the
other hand, Mr. Emery is allied
with the organization which belit
tles the President and is at work
for Bryan.
The election of Stuart and the
consequent indorsement of Roose
velt mean safety in the Nation.
The success of Emery and the
three rampant Bryan candidates
connected with him in the campaign
would as a matter of necessity in
vite disaster.
It would swell the Democratic
membership of Congress and give
aid and sustenance to the anti-
Roosevelt cause.—Philadelphia In

Rheumatism Cured in Ten Days.
Why Will You su(fer.
Mr. Harry Knox, of Beverly, W. Va.,
under date of Jan. 23, 1906, says he was
laid up with rheumatism for more than
two aud a half months; part of the time
could not net out of bed. Could not
walk with out the aid of crutches, and
says he took one-half of a 50 cent bottle
of Crocker's Rheumatic Cure and was
entirely cured. HARRY KNOX.

doing so at once, the sailors aboard the

A Krcin-h Vcrdivt,
All juries have a way of tempering
justice with mercy and strict logic
with good or bad sense. French juries
excel in these practices. A Mine. Ca
naby of Bordeaux was accused of hav
ing forged two prescriptions and of
having thereby obtained large quanti
ties of poison, some of which she
ministered to her husband, w'ri nearly
died and was only save' 1 uy his doctor,
who suspected somel/aing wrong and
took him away.' The evidence was
overwhelming, for the prisoner com
pletely failed to give any plausible ex
planation as to why she wanted the
poison—enough, as the chemist said, to
kill two regiments. Nevertheless the
jury found .Mine, ('unaby guilty of
forging the prescriptions, hut not guilty
of attempting to poison her husband.
Perhaps the jury thought the husband
unpoisoned was punishment enough in
himself for one crime.
Inebriety anil (lie lOaliiiK of Fruit.
Th TO is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that is
the simplest of all. The cure consists
in eating fruits. That will cure the
worst case of inebriety that ever af
flicted a person. It will entirely de
stroy the taste for intoxicants and will
make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes of his childhood.
No person ever saw a man or woman
who liked fruit aud who had an ap
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other,
and there is no room for both of them
iu the same human constitution. One
will surely destroy the other. —What to

The saying "Cast not a clout till

be ii caution against laying aside win

has ended. A correspondent of Lou
don Notes and Queries says that an
old gardener he knows gives a differ
ent turn to the proverb, atlirming that
after the may has come into bloom
there is never any further danger of
frost, and the saying is really a cau
tion against throwing aside extra gar
ments not until the month has come to
an end, but until the may be out in
