Judge Green, who was appointed J some weeks ago to fill a vacancy on the Common Pleas bench of the Clinton Cameron-Elk district, will be nominat ed by the Republicans for election to a j full term. This is the platform upon j which Judge Green stands, as declared j by himself: During the time that it is my privi- j lege and my honor to preside over the | courts of this district, I shall not in i any manner or in any way or particular | try to be a Republican, Democrat or to be a partisan Judge in any sense of the j word. I shall appear on the bench of | this judicial district so long as it is my I privilege to serve without any aflfilia j tion ofany interest or person whatever | It will be my purpose, to the best of mv ability, to treat every person, be he | rich or poor, or to whatever political j party he may belong, without fear or ! favor. This is the true position for a Judge. | In a few strong words Judge Green j makes it very plain that as long as he is on the bench there will be no partisanship or favoritism in the administration of justice. I Previous to his appointment to the j bench Judge Green was active in party i politics. There have been many in- I stances in Pennsylvania of men chosen j to judgships out of party activity free j ing themselves from partisanship more | completely than some who were less j prominent as party leaders and less in- | terested in party work Political ex perience of a reputable kind is apt to give a man more than the average sense of the responsibilities of the judicial office. He can the better realize that it was not intended to serve partisan j purposes. The straightforward declaration of Judge Green has deprived the Demo crats of the district of every reason for opposing his election, except the com monest partisan pretext. What Judge Green says will be accepted as sincere by all who know him. If the Demo crats do not want to confess a purpose to secure a partisan Democratic con trol of the courts of the district they will make no nomination against Judge Green, but will put his name on their ticket and cordially support him. No other action they can take will do them so much honor. They should wisely consider it before it is too late. —Philadelphia Press. Notice to Bond Holders, Empori um School District.

Kress, having with drawn from the race for president judge and thus cleared the way for judge Green,the Republican delegates elected i on Saturday in the several districts of I Clinton county met in the court i house Tuesday to endorse the can- j didacy of Judge Green and to elect I judicial conferees. President Simpson then stated that j nominations were in order for president ' judge, whereupon H. T. Hall, esq., arose j and after stating it was a pleasure to i notice the fealty of the Republicans of I Clinton county in the principles of the j party, and detailing the characteristics j of the kind of man desired to (ill the I position of president judge in this dis- j trict, to whom the attorneys and the I people could look up to with pride, j said such a man wasß. XV. (Ireen, esq , j of Cameron county, whom he nomi- I nated for president judge. S. 1). Furst, esq., seconded the nomi- j nation in a brief speech, saying that Judge Green would be more than i acceptable to the Republican members ! of the Clinton County bar. Judge Green appeared in a few mo- j ments and his presence was the signal ! for hearty applause. The judge thank ed his Republican friends for the high | honor conferred upon him and for the j warm greetings he had received from I one. end of the district to the other, which was an augury, he said, that the | action in endorsing him would be j approved by the people in November. , Thejudge paid a tribute to the late j Judge Mayer, and cited the fact that : he withdrew as a candidate to make j Judge Mayer's election unanimous in j the past, and therefore appreciated to | day's action of the Republicans of Clinton county. "Although this may seem as a party nomination," said Mr. Green,"l want to say to the people at large that during the time that I shall preside over the courts of the Twenty fifth Judicial district, I shall not be a Republican judge, a Democratic judge or a partisan judge. It shall be my purpose to administer justice to the I rich and the poor, to the high and the lowly alike without fear or favor." *''* JUDGE O KEEN IS DECLAKA'NNN OF PRINCIPLES. ILock Haven Tinus. In 1 «ddie..s before the Republican convention on Tuesday Judge B. W. Green squarely and openly declared himself in no unmistakable terms as a non-partisan judge. He said: "During the time that it is my privi lege and my honor to provide over the the courts of this district, 1 shall not in any manner or in any way or particular try to be a Republican, Democrat or to be a partisan judge in any sense of the word. I shall appear on the bench of this Judicial district as long as it is my I privilege to serve without any affilia tion ofany interest or person whatever. It will be my purpose, to the best of my ability, to treat every person, be he rich or poor, or to whatever politi cal party he may belong, without fear or favor," The platform of Judge Green is short, but in it he has taken a position that cannot fail to appear to the voters of Clinton county as well as throughout the district. It is contended by the press generally that the bench should be free from politics and the selection be a non-partisan judge is urged in every district. This is right. It is true i Judge Green is a Republican and is, practically, the nominee of the Repub licans of this Judicial district. But where are we to find a man of promi nence, fitted for this high position, who has not been affiliated with one party jor another. Nowhere. The fact that Judge Green has publicly declared him self in this particular should and will appeal to the people who believe that the judicial bench is not calculated to be a sponser for any polical party. "Eliminate politics froai the bench" is a stereotyped headline in the city news papers. It was the demand of the united press of Clinton county eight years ago, but if the press of this county is to be consistent it \rill hold to this principle to-day, The members of the Republican con ; vention gave their hearty approval of l Judge Green's open and frank expres- I sion in the matter and the people of ; Clinton county will vote to elect a man who has the couarge of his convictions. Argument Court. ! Argument court was held atHmpori i urn on Tuesday, Judge Omerod, of j Coudersport, presiding, assisted by j Hons. John McDonald and Geo. J. ; Laßar. A number of causes o«c the ! argument list were argued, the tuost I important being the Becker Glass and ! and Paint Co., et als., vs M.

The PRESS and our citizens very generally will regret to learn that we will lose two of our most estimable families—A. P. Van Gelder nd family i and 11. A. Cox and family. Mr. Van i Gelder goes to Dover, N. J., where he : acceots the Superintendency of the great Dover powder p'ant. During | their residence in Emporium they j made a host of friends, all of whom j regret their departure. They havecom ! menced packing their furniture and i will leave Emporium on Saturday. Mr. 11. A. Cox and family, who but re ] cently came to Emporium (having : formerly resided here for many years,) ! will return to Philadelphia Sept. Ist, | to engage in the wholesale lumber business, a business he is familiar with, I having been engaged in it for many ; years Like Mr. and Mrs. Van Gelder i Mr. and Mrs. Cox have very many j friends here and all will regret to see them leave Emporium. Good citizens jwe all dislike to part with—-the other '■ kind never leave. Sewer Contract Awarded. By reference to the Borough Council ! proceedings it will be seen that the I contract for the sewer extension has J been let to W. H. Simpson, of Olean, he being the lowest bidder. The cost of the work will cost the tax payers about $9,000.00 provided the entire system is completed. While the sewer should be completed, no one will deny, yet, the fact remains that the price is j more than, we believe, the tax-payers will stand for. However, the matter 1 should be carefully examined before I the contract is finally loaded upon the j Borough. Be sure you are right, I gentlemen, before you sign away the | people's money. Something about the i matter does not appear clear. Successful Year. The Lock Haven State Normal School | closed the most successful year in its ■ history. Its new catalog containing 122 pages, beautifully illustrated, is | now ready for distribution. This is ' one of the greatest schools of our state and affords the best available advant ages for training of teachers, fitting for College or Business. Its depart ments of music and elocution are also largely patronized and thoroughly equipped. The fall term begins Sept. 10th Address for catalog, the Prin cipal. J. R.

Death of Mr. Arnold. Ridgway Daily Record. Norman Theodore Arnold passed peacefully out of this life on Saturday afternoon last, at 4:30 o'clock, at "Bonifels," the beautiful home on the hill just west of Ridgway, in which he had taken BO much pleasure during the few years he had been spared to enjoy it. Mr. Arnold has been suffering for several months, andin fact had never quite recovered from a very long and severe attack of typhoid fever, which came near causing his death a few years ago. He was able, however, to be at his office in Ridgway and attend to his large business interests until about three months prior to his death, and even after he quit coming to the office he directed the most important of his business through his confidential Secretary, Mr M. P. Whiting, until recently. Some weeks ago Mr. Arnold made a trip to Buffalo to confer with Dr. Jones, an eminent physician, in re gard to his case, and later Dr. Jones came here and consulted with an emi nent specialist from New York City. They pronounced the case one of post abdominal sarcoma, or cancer, the case being such that it could not be operated for, the only hope was in a special serum or new treatment for such cases, and the new remedy was used. As time wore on friends and relatives bj gan to hope that the treatment might effect a cure, but their hopes were vain, and the dreadod dis- ase to >lc from us one of the most enterprising, liberal and philanthropic citizens Ridgway has ever known When death came Mr. Arnold was surrounded by all his near relatives, his faithful and devoted pastor, Rev. J. H. Clemans, his former pastor and close friend, Rev. J. C. McDonald, and others near and close to him. The funeral services were held from the family residence on Tuesday after noon at 2 o'clock, the service being conducted by Rev. J. II Clemens, who was assisted by a number of other ministers who were close friends of the deceased. Interment was made in the family lot in Pine Grove Cemetery, at this place. N. T. Arnold was born at Stannards, Allegany county, N. Y., on July 5, 1857, and he was therefore aged 49 years and 30 days. He was the only son of William W., and Margaret Ann Arnold, and his father lived until about a year ago, the old gentleman's last years being spent with his son here and with his daughter at Elmira, N. Y. When Mr. Arnold was aged about one year, his parents moved to Potter Co , where he was reared to young man hood and educated in the lower branch es. Then the family moved to Ster ling Run, Cameron county, where Mr. Arnold was conveted and united with the M. E. Church, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Chilcott, 27 years ago. Mr. Arnold was married August 24, 1881, at Cedar Springs, Clinton county, his bride being a young lady who had been his schoolmate at the normal school and who had taught with him in the public schools, of Wilcox, this county—Miss Hanna Francis Thomp son, daughter of Robinson and Cynthia J. Thompson, of Cedar Springs. Four children were born to them, as follows: Miss Laura, who has just graduated from Wellesley College; Robbie, who died at the age of six months; Paul Thompson Arnold, who graduated from the Ridgway High School in 1905, and is now a student at College; and William 8., the youngest who is a student in the Ridgway borough public schools. Besides his faithful and de voted wife and children, Mr. Arnold is survived by four sisters, as follows: Mrs J. E. Smith, of Sterling Run, Cameron county; Mrs, M. P. Whiting, of Ridgway; Miss Elizabeth Arnold, of Elmira, N. Y., and Mrs. N. T. Fulton, of Williamsport, Pa. Mr. Arnold located in Ridgway shortly after being admitted to the bar, coming here from Wilcox, where he and Mrs. Arnold both taught the winter before in the public schools. He began the practice of law here with Dyson Itishell, under the firm name of 1 Rishell & Arnold, and when Mr. Rish | ell left Ridgway in 1866, Mr. Arnold took into partnership with him W. W. Barbour, Esq., who had studied law with the firm, and they practiced law together for almost ten years, dissolv ing by mutual consent, but remaining fast friends until Mr. Arnold's death. Though the large wealth that came to Mr. Arnold through his fine talent, business ability, and indefatigable en ergy enabled Mr. and Mrs. Arnold to build their beautiful home and enjoy it in luxury, yet it never made them in the least proud or haughty, and they : were just as accessible and as sociable i and pleasant as they had been in their | younger days.
