Judge Green Backed to Sueceed
Himself.
Special to the Philadelphia Enquirer.
LOCK HAVEN, PA., Oct. 13. —The most
important factor in the present politi
cal campaign in this county centers in
the question, "Who is to be the presi
dent judge in this district for the next
ten years?" This question is the para
mount issue.
This county is to b9 the battleground
of the contest between Judge B. W.
Green, of Emporium, and Harry Alvan
Hall, of Ridgway, the former the nom
inee of the Republicans and the latter
the Denjocratic-Linco'.nite candidate.
It is conceded that Green will carry bis
home county of Cameron by a large
vote and that Hall will receive a major
ity in Elk county. This leaves Clinton
the bone of contention, with the out
look highly favorable to Green.
It is not a question to be decided by
partisan politics. In the last two de
cades the voters of this district have
risen above partisanship in the selec
tion of their president judge, and they
should certainly be prepared to partici
pate in the present campaign by the
exercise of calm judgment.
Judge Green was appointed to the
vacancy in this| district by Governor
Pennypacker,"and the facts that sur
round this appointment show that,
while Judge Green is a Republican, his
politics was in no sense a factor in the
appointment.
The appointment was made on the
sole ground of his fitness for the place
—his legal fitnes3, his moral fitness and
that mental cleanness that keeps a
judge from wielding his powers in the
promotion of a political machine and
lack of which frequently debauches
courts and becomes a travesty on
justice.
Since these were the qualifications
that led to the selection of Judge Green
as the presiding judge of this district,
they should life his candidacy to a
higher plane than that of a mere par
tisanship.
Judge Green is a clean, true man.
He makes no public claims to a family
tree that traces his genealogy back to a
remote ancestry either on the male or
female side. He claims to be an honest
man, and than that no tree ever pro
duced better or fairer fruit. Genealogies
may be pleasant and interesting things
to trace, but they may also begin in
obloquy and end in shame.
Judge Green is temperate, both in
habit of life and thought. This quality,
always a great and valuable one in any
man, is of utmost value in an official
who should always be available to his
constituents and whose acts affect the
life, liberty or prosperity of the people.
If the people of this district want a
clean, honest and capable administra
tration of their courts they will elect
Jadge Green for the full term.
If they want to keep the courts out
of the mire of politics they will vote
for Judge Green.
If they want to keep the administra
tion of justice out of things more mirey
than politics they will vote for Judge
Green.
If you want to meet a man who really
says what he means and means just
what he says, the chance will be yours
on November Ist, 2nd and 3rd when
Wilbur Symons, as leading man of
Nick Russell's Big Comedy Company,
will step on the stage of the Emporium
opera house as Hosea Howe in "Peace
ful Valley," the role made so famous
by the late Sol Smith Russell. This
will be the first time for this notable
play to be presented at popular prioes,
15, 25 and 35 cents. There are five big
vaudeville acts besides the play proper,
including Nick Russell himself in his
extraordinary piano playing act which
has won for him the title of"the human
pianola."
Vote for Cameron county's dis
tinguished citizen and business man—
Oapt. Barclay.
Captain O. F. Barclay, Republican
c indidate for Congress in the district
of which' McKean county is a part,
ought to receive every Republican vote
in the county, equally as well as the
Republican candidates for the Assem
bly. Much has-been said by President
Roosevelt'and by the Republican press
of the State upon the need of maintain- :
ing an unbroken front in tliecontinued
march of prosperity. It is a merited
axiom that Republican policies and
prosperity go hand in hand, and at no !
time in many years has the need for a j
strict party vote been more urgent
than at Jthe November elections this
year; especially as the whole ticket,
both state and county, is so absolutely >
worthy[of support that not in a single j
case are its nominees in doubt as to |
their purpose, their honesty, their abil
ity or 'their reputation. The whole
ticket should be voted for the one
abounding the business
prosperity of everybody demands it.
The people cannot afford to experi
ment—Bradford Star.
An Honorable Record.
It is hardly to be expected that all
Democrats will be suited with the Hon.
Josiah Howard as a legislator, but his
record in that capacity pleases the Re
publicans right well.
Mr. Howard voted against two of the |
Erhardt bills and is so recorded in the
archives of the State. Mr. Howard
voted against the Philadelphia party
often enough to (*lace his position as a i
man of independence and stamina be- (
yond cavil. Mr. Howard is no traitor,
as the down town organ kindly insinu
ates.
When anyone insinuates that
Josiah Howard would do anything,
either in private or in public life, to
support or encourage vice in any form,
or in any manner, then that man goes
a step too far, for every hone3t man in
Cameron county knows better, and wilt
resent at the polls this effort to be
smirch the fair name of one whose life |
is an open book. Such a line of argu
meut indicates that oar friend the
enemy is in the last ditch.
Mr. Howard prefers Pennsylvania to
outside corporations does he? Well,
what of it.
The Hon. Judge B. W. Green.
Aris Advance.
The voters of the twentv-flfth judicial
district, composed of Clinton, Cameron
and Elk counties, will be called upon
on the 6th of November to make a
choice for a president judge of the dis
trict to serve for ten years. It is of the
utmost importance that the right man
be chosen for this high office of honor
and responsibility. It is an office that
should be divorced from politics and
the manipulation of politicians, with an
axe to grind. A man with a clean rec
ord and sterling character, one with
legal attainments and a judicial mind;
a man upright in his private life ana
one who will administer the office in a
way that will establish confidence and
regard for the judiciary, is needed on
the bench. A judge exerts a wide in
fluence and should be a man with irre
proachable private and public record,
in other words the standard cannot be
set too high for the man who aspires to
the judgeship.
Governor Pennypacker made a wise
selection when he appointed Hon. B
W. Green, of Emporium, to fill the va
cancy on the bench in this district,
caused by the death of Judge Mayer.
He has proven in the few months he
has been in office to possess the quali
fications of an honorable, fair minded
and just judge. Such a man as Judge
Green is an honor to the judiciary and
we trnly believe that the voters of the
entire district will honor themselves
by honoring Judge Green with a tri
umphant election not by a meagre ma
jority but by one so emphatic as will
give a practical demonstration of the
discrimination of the voters of the
Twenty-fifth district.
Capt. C. P. Barclay has always been
an advocate of giving an honest day's
wages for an honest day's work. And
it has been more than a theory with his
firm. In their business career extend
ing over a period of forty years there
has never been even a suggestion of a
strike.
C. B. Howard & Co., have received
I from the Pacific Coast what is perhaps
| the finest lot of RED CEDAR shingles
i that ever came to Cameron county.
j Practical ly all of Capt. Barclay'A life
| has been spent in this county, except
! during elvil war days and the time he
spent at school. He is in every sense
; of the word "a native product" and a
representative type of the hardy, vig
| orous and courageous Pennsylvania!).

Beautiful Ceremony.
An event of much social interest, be
cause of the prominence of the con
tracting parties, and notable for its
beautiful solemnization, was the mar
riage Wednesday evening at eight
o'clock at the First Presbyterian church
of Miss Besse Buckwalter and Mr.
Richard Oldham Lackey.
Promptly at the appointed hour the 1
ever beautiful strains of Lohengrin an
nounced the coming of the bridal pro
cession, which was led by the ushers,
Messrs. James Wagers, Allan Young,
I)r. M. Denny, of Richmond, and Mr.
A. J. Buckwalter, of Mississippi, who
walked singly down the side aisles,
followed by the groom attended by
Mr. William Dunne, of Lexington,
while from Wie opposite aisle came the
bride with her sister, Miss Nora Buck
waiter. Rev. William Cumming was
the officiating minister.
The bride is a beautiful young girl,
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Buckwalter, formerly of this city, but
now of Wingate, Mississippi, and dur
ing her residence here has endeared
herself to all by her exquisite charm of
manner and sweet modesty; her un
j selfishness and gracious courtesies be
| ing distinguishing features in her
young life. She was elegantly attired
in a costume of white panne crepe de
chine over silk of fairy-like daintiness,
with trimmings of Duchess lace and
wore the regulation veil of tulle caught
with orange blossoms. Her bouquet
was a shower of valley lilies. Her maid
of honor was attired in white crepe de
chine with garniture of lace. She wore
! a pink sash and carried pink roses.
} Mr. Lackey is a son of Mr. Mouroe
j Lackey, of Waco, Madison county, and
j a cousin of Judge J. M. Benton, of this
I city. He is a thorough business young
I man and is engaged in mercantile pur
; suits at Richmond. Socially he is very
i genial and ie highly esteemod for his
| many noble qualities
' Substantial evidence of the popular
| ity of the young couple was seen in
the number and elegance of the gifts
received from friends. Winchester,
Ky., Democrat, Oct. 5.
The bride above referred to will be
pleasantly remembered by many of our
citizens. She was born here and like
all members of her family was univer
sally respected.
The voters of Cameron county will
show that Judge Laßar is entitled to
an election for ten years. He don't
want the earth and requests the people
to carefully consider his claim for this
j term.
Not for many days have we heard as
; many favorable comments on a man as
! have been passed on the Hon. B. W.
| Green since the present term of court.
Men who have not met him personally
and only know him as the judge of the
court are satisfied that he is the right
man for the place. "I believe he is
honest," said one man; "his counten
ance tells me that, and his prompt
action in disposing of cases which are
I especially for the betterment of the
morals of your city and the county in
I general is praiseworthy. He dares to
do right and that's the kind of man we
are looking for on the bench." This is
the picture of Judge Qreen that has
been painted over and over again to us
by his neighbors from Cameron county.
The citizens of Clinton county, regard
less of politics, will stand by Green on
election day because he is possessed of
the right qualities for the office for
which the people have demanded him
to run.—Lock Haven Times.
DEATH'S DOINGS.

and came to Cameron county in 1878,
rending at Cameron, where Capt.
Cummings died Dec. lOt.h, 1879. rear

Why I Will Vote for Hon. Josiah*
Howard.
Because his bill to tax State lands re- |
duced our school tax about twenty-live |
per cent.
Because lie upends his energy and j
money building up industries in his \
home county.
Because he made his money in honest
production, and, while he accumulated
wealth, the whole community was made
prosperous through his efforts.
Because his business supports and
does not destroy homes or cause them
to be unhappy.
Because he stands for a principle aud
no man or set of men has a string on
him.
Because his methods of electioneering
are elevating beyond criticism.
Because he represents the best ele
ment in society and is the incarnation
of civic purity.
Because he is a better Democrat than
some of our little mud slinging editors
who belong to the old bond jobbing
regime and only vote the Democratic
ticket when they have an axe to grind.
Now I am a Democrat and I believe
that the only way to build and main
tain a party worthy thesupport and re
spect of every good citizen is to shako
off this element who are Democrats for
revenue only. And I believe that the
election of Mr. Howard would conserve
to the best interests of our common
wealth.
Very truly yours,
A BUYAN DEMOCRAT.
Teachers' Institute.
The 40th Annual Institute of Cameron county
was formally opened .Monday afcernoon at 1:30
o'clock with prayer by Rev. Cleaver of the Meth
odist church. After the devotional exercises.
Miss Collins introduced Prof. Voder, of the Lock
Haven Normal, who assumed the duties of mtisi*
cal director, Miss Metzger, of Emporium, acting
as pianist. Miss Collins in a few well chosen
words made an address of welcome to the teach
ers, urging also the great need of good and
prompt attendance among the sixty-four teachers
enrolled. In order that the Institute be properly
opened. Prof. Yoder then called upon all to join
heartily in singing America. Miss Collins follow
ed the singing by announcing that since Prof.
Jackson, of the State College, was not able to be
in attendance, she would introduce Prot. Oreen,
of the Westchester Normal, who won for him
self, at once, the entire audlen.%; : y a must pleas
ing address on "A Recipe for Beauty," although
not an agent for any cosmetics. The professor's
advice if faithfully followed could not fait in pro
ducing the desired result, his recipe being the
one given by the great German poet, t>oethe:
Every day—hear some good music; every day
see some good painting; every day—read some
good literature. This was followed by music, and
it in turn by an intermission of ten minutes.
Miss Collins then introduced Prof. Howerth, of
Chicago, who talked on"The Teacker's Art"—A
good subject, well and ably handled,and listened
to with marked attention by the teachers. The
closing song followed and the first day was over.
Tuesday morning's session was opened by
prayer, Rev. Calvin of the Baptist chnrch lead
ing. The entire assemblage then joined in sing
ing, after which Prof. Green spoke on the "Ten
Commandments for the Reader." These were
concisely given as follows:
1. Take time to read.
2. Read authors, not merely about them.
3. Deal mainly with the great authors.
4. Select masterpieces.
5. Saturate your soul with song.
C. Choose somewhat as circumstances demand.
7. Koriu your own library.
| 8. Grasp firmly the thought of the book.
9. Let the imagination play.
10. "Learn, nor account the pang."
A proof of Prof. Green's popularity lies in the
fact that he was listened to with unbated interest
for over on hour. Prof. Yoder led in singing and
Prof. Howerth spoke after this on"The Artist
Teacher." The applause that followed the an
nouncement of Prof. Howerth's name gave ex
pression to the regard in which the teachers and
in fact the entire audience held him. His ad
dress was pertinent and was listened to with
rapt attention. The morning's session was ended
by a brief talk from Prof. George Bccht, of the
Clarion Normal, an old favorite of Cameron
county teachers, who makes new and lasting
friends every year. Prof. Becht's address was on
"Live Teachers" and every word seemed to be a
message to all to live, to avoid the stigma of
"dead teacher." Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 sharp,
the session opened up by ten minutes' music. All
were warmed to the work in a few minutes and
a volume of sound was produced. Prof. Howerth
for the first period urged upon the teachers the
advisability of taking care of one's health, since
an ill teacher cannot be a good teacher. Prof.
Becht followed with a most practical talk on
"The Reading Problem." This talk cannot fail
to make an impression on every teacher, the ad
vice given was so clearly stated,thehelpinghints
so thoroughly covered the case, that a noticeable
improvement in this important branch of school
work cannot fail but be the result. Miss Collins
then introduced Prof. McCluskey, County Super
intendent of Clinton county who gave an im
promptu address of a few minutes in which he
wittily recounted some of the difficulties he en
countered in reaching Emporium. "A glance at
' American Poetry" by Prof. Green, finished the
| second de.v's session. This address, needless to
| say, was given the utmost attention by the
j Professor's remarks.

Two Halls — Both at Onc« !
James K. P. Hall is the noninee of
the Democratic party of the Twenty
sixth Senatorial district for State Sena
tor and the Democrats of the district
are expected to vote lor him and will
no doubt do so generally, as it is a
political office.
Harry Alvan Hall, the brother of J. K.
P. Hall, the above named candidate for
the Senate, is the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party for the Twenty-fifth Judi
cial district for President Judge and the
Democrats are asked to support him,
too, at the same election.
These two brothers want both offices,
that they may dominate the politics of
both the senatorial and judicial dis
tricts. Is not this rather greedy? Should
one family be given these two offices ?
It is up to the people to answer at the
polls on November 6th.
Judge Green should be elected for
the full term, because he is a plain,
modest man, who knows his duty and
does it. We want a fearless, npright
judge on the bench in this district and
Judge Green fills the bill exactly. Let
