ME MARTIN'S MISSTATEMENT,
Either through ignorance or & base
attempt to belie, Deputy Secretary of
Agriculture A, L. Martin stood before
iis nudience in the auditoriom, Grange
Park, on Republican day, and stated
that owing to the large practice enjoy-
ed by Mr. Orvis, in case of his election
to the bench, he would be obliged to
the of a neighboring
judge for a considerable time and that
the taxpayers would be obliged to pay
this judge for his services,
There is only enough truth in the
statement t make it a good campaign
lie. The part that is true is that Mr.

ing judge, necessarily called to presi fe
in cases in which Mr, Orvis was inter-
ested us an attorney, would be paid by
the taxpayers of Centre county !
The truth is, under the law approv-
ed April 14, 1903, no judge shall receive
any compensation for services render-
than the salary fixed by law.

Perhaps when the Stalwarts prom-
ised to re-establish the Potters Mills
postoffice they did not reckon what a
breeze the Hastings wing of the Re-
publican party in Centre county could
create when flopped at its greatest
speed. They, perhaps, forgot that the
old bird can not soar unless both wings
work in harmony, It is altogether
likely that the Hastings wing will
hold on to its present position, and

As a bit of information for President
Judge Love's benefit, the Reporter an-
nounces that there are postoffices at
Pine Grove Mills, Lemont, Boalsburg,
Linden Hall, Tassey ville, Centre Hall,
Spring Mills, Penn Hall Sober, Mille
heim, Aaronsburg, Coburn, Feidler,
Woodward, aud a number of others in
Brush Valley, and that by meddling
with some of these and baving them
closed, he might obtain a bit of credit
when the office is reestablished, Of
course, this would discommode the pa-
trons of the offices, but that would
make no difference whatever if the
Judge's chavces of election were
tanced. :
