The Platform of a Judge.
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.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
.H'lKiK GKEEN'S POPULAR ENDORSE- ;
If ENT.
[Lock II uvea Democrat.]
Captain W. C. 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.

Express and W. A. MeClure, of John

Will Leave Emporium.
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.

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.
