We have just organized a Board of Trade in Emporium and a number of the Board of Management are candi dates for political offices on opposing tickets. While this to a foreigner might look like a bad thing for the Board of Trade, yet the great Ameri can people are used to that kind of a thing, no matter which candidate wins we all get together for business and forget there was an election. Will Resume. C. B. Howard Co., are repairing their saw mill and hope to resume opera tions within a few days. Men of Ability and Character. From county officers up to delegates to the National Convention, the Repub licon party presents many men of marked ability and character, who have alwayß been loyal party workers and the voters should see that none other are supported at the primaries. Cameron . county has the only Re publican member io the legislature from the five counties comprising this Senatorial district, Senator Hall's dis trict and the Republican voters should see that it never returns to the demo cratic column.

UNIFORM PRIMARIES NEXT SATURDAY. The Voter Must Ask for His Party Ticket. In order to afford our readers, Re publicans, Democrats and Prohibition iats, an opportunity to post themselves as to the condidates whose names will appear on the ballot next Saturday, we publish the official list. The polls will be open from two to eight o'clock, p. m. It is up to the voters to familiarize themselves with the new law and the manner of voting the ticket under this "Uniform Primaries Act." The county commissioners, under this Act, provide tickets for all parties and each party ticket contains the names of all candidates who have peti tioned the commissioners or the secre tary of the commonwealth to put their names on the party ballot, hence when you enter the voting room you an nounce to the election officer that you want a ballot of the political faith to which you belong and on that ballot you will find the names of all the can didates of that party, and to vote it you are required to make a cross mark in the square opposite each candidate's name for whom you wish to vote. Do nothing else to the ballot. Don't mark off anybody else's name for if you do you deface the ballot and under the law the election officers will reject your ballot You don't even vote what is, at general elections, called a straight party ballot, for the ballot will not contain a party square for that purpose. There will be a blank line on the ballot under each office to be filled, on which the voter is privi-' leged to paste a name or write a name of anyone whom he wishes to vote for if that person's name is not printed upon his ballot and ff he does paste or write a name on his ballot in this blank space he is not required to make a cross mark apposite the name, although to make the mark does not destroy the vote. A decision of trhe court on this point should make the matter clear to election officers which we here give: "When a name is insert ed in a blank, it need not be designat ed by a cross mark, but a mark will not vitiate the vote." (Freemansburg case, Vol 7, page 387, Northampton Reports, 1901.) A voter is entitled to his party ticket only, and it is the duty of the election officers to Bee that this provision ofthe law is met without challenge, but if his right to such a ballot is challenged then he is required to make oath that he voted for a majority of the candi dates of the party for whose ballot he askß, at the last general election. It is useless for a Democrat to vote for a Republican or a Republican to vote for a Democrat by writing or pasting his name on a ballot for that ballot will be counted for him under the party name on which it was cast and hence will do him no good on his own party ticket. To avoid mix-ups and confusion in computing the vote election officers and the voters should study the new law and the cards of instruction which will be furnished by the county comis sioners.

We will not be held responsible for any expression in this department-?— EDITOR. IS THIS A SQUARE DEAL? Editor Press: I desire to protest against tbe in justice done the tax payers of Lumber township, where property is supposed to be aesesbod at one-third its actual value. Is it not? But, is it always eo assessed ar.d is it not sometimes more. We have a case of it right here in Lumber. About the best farm in the township, for which the owuer asks $4,000 for the land alone, we think, under the rule, should be assessed at one-third of that price, instead of a total valuation, of $516, including four horses and some cows. The same farm is assessed with thirty acres of improv ed land one hundred acres of unim proved land, when anybody who has ever seen the farm, knows, at a glance, that there are over one hundred acres of improved land in the farm. Now, whose fault is this I do not know, or do I care to say, but it must be between the assessor of this township and the county Commissioners of the county. I think the tax payers are entitled to an explanation. Would it not be wise for us to look at these when we goto tbe polls on election day and give us & Square Deal. That is #.ll we ask, yet we do not believe in taking the taxes off of one and putting them on an other, just because he is a poor man and has not the money to a kick like some of oar well-to-do neigh bors. Again, the assessor should also find out to whom property belongs be longs before he assesses same to some body who does not own it, of whick might be mentioned here, in order to save a woman paying a few dollars in taxes who owns property—the man is assessed and the woman holds tbe deed. Is this justice? Who will tell? Tax-payer, it is up to you. TAX PAYER. [We are inclined to think that "tax payer," who evidently is familiar witk the case complained of, is the one to censure. He must have known alt about it and being a tax-payer it was his duty when attending the tax ap peals to protect bis interests, and township in general, by entering protest, which no donbt the court of appeals would have gladly investigat ed.]—EDlTOß. HOW IT LOOKS TO FORMER CITIZENS. A former resident of 'this county writing to the PRESS, yesterday, says: "If Josiah Howard's record and reputation at home is not good enough for the people of Cameron county, they do not know a good thing when they have it. Ido not doubt that he will win out." Your are right, friend. We have too much confidence in tbe good sense of our citizens, regardless of party. It is up to all to sit down and think before they cast their vote against Emporium and Cameron county's benefactor. He never disappoints our people when they need his liberal donations for every laudable purpose. He is here to build up our county. Place him where he can be of service to you. Ball Team Organized. The young men of town have organ ized a base ball team, that will be known by the loud sounding name of "The Explosives." Mr. Ben Liston is the captain and Mr. Harold Seger holds the position of secretary and treasurer. Any teams from out of town wishing to secure dates can do so. Address all letters to"The Explosives," Empori um, Pa. Tragic Death. Many Emporium friends of Mrs. M. L. Cummings, formerly a respected resident of Emporium, will be pained to hear of the tragic death of her moth er, Mrs. W.C. Weaver of Hyner, by drowning last Friday, near her home. 11l health, which unbalanced her mind, caused her to tie a rope around her waist and walk into the river. NO. 8.
