GRANGE OPPOSES BOND ISSUR, Legislative Committee Urges Pebllo to Vote Against Fifuy Million Doltar Boud Tssus for Hoads, A campaign against the proposed constitution amendment to author. ize the issue of §50000000 for road building was instituted recantly by the Btate Grange. The legislative committee of the Grange went on rec- ord as opposed to the issue, for the reagon it is unnecessary sand against the best policy cf the state, Former Representative Creasy, Master of the XTi viliiam Grange, TT and out an ‘* address to the public”, said: “We do not realizs the need for such a loan and we are opposed to giving any more power or money to the State Highway Department. The farmers are aroused snd they mean business, They do not mean to the Republican organization get away with any such gigantic graft if it can be helped. There are a whole lot of things going to be told about the Highway Department which will sur- prise the people. let The statement is signed by Creasy, Allen D. Miller, Susquehanna ; F. N.

Dirt roads, if properly cared for the grangers say, will be better than present type of roads. The present system, they add, provides poor roads aud robs the farmers of farm labor al a sesson when it is most needed, A general denial is made that the money for roads will come from the corporations, Such an says the address, ‘is an the argument, ingenicus misrepresentation.” The present tax Inws are in: quitable, and the grangers call attention to the anthracite coal tax #8 an example of how corpora- tions ahift the burden to the consume ers, Ia conclusion the address calls upon the people to discuss the ques- tion earnestly and not vote to go into debt when the ordinary fands of the Biate could be utilized for road building.

A million dollars a {day is a substantial sum, and means |moch in meeting the necessities of {the Government, The source of this | revenus ia disclosed in a report by the | commissioner of internal revenue to the secretary of the treasury. He points out that the total collections | were $344 424458. Of this grand {total $157 542 000 was derived from the aale 145 220,000 gallons of apiritous $65,246,000 repre- sents an equal number of barrels of beer, ale and porter; cigarets pro- duced $1 754600; cigars, $23 087,000, {and other forms of tobacco, § 000 ; as an iocidental netted $655 283, It is proper that the Government should tax these things that the people demand and must have. The goods on which these taxes are levied are necessaries of life. Those who persist in using them conuot com- plain, for, as a rule, they insist that revenue should be raised by taxing luxuries, and that those articles that are necessary to comfort and suste- nance go free, The consumer pays almost a million dollars a day to the United Btates treasury, and there is but one way by which the taxation can be avoided. bat is by stoppivg the use of the articles that are taxed, But there is likelihood that this remedy will ever be applied.

The chief sporting event on the pro- gram of the Millheim town picnic Thursday of last week was the base. ball game scheduled with Centre Hall, That it was replete with excitement from start to finish the large crowd present can better testify than it is possible to pen, A 6 to 5 score means that the win- ners had only the smallest margin by which they might lay claim to the victory. Well, Millheim had that margin, Outhit 8 to 6, Millheim won chiefly on overthrows to bases by the Centre Hall team. Incidentally it maybe sald that improvised baseball dia- monds have proved the undoing of the local club on several occasions Playing at home on a well laid out and short-grass field, they have not learned the art of separating wheat stubbles and second crop clover from a baseball when the latter is batted to- ward a fielder. Consequently bad throws are the natural result, The sixth ioning was the most in- teresting of the entire game, Foot: ball tactics on the kase lines by a Millheim player brought the game to an abrapt but only temporary end, and for a time it appeared as though pugiiism would be added to the other two gports which were already occupy- ing the spectator’s attention, The player in question is of powerful physique, and a guard on a college football team. He evidently forgot, when he got on the bases, that the baseball season was still in its prime and that all ** centre rushes '" and in- terference with the fielders in band- ling thrown balla were, beside being ancalled for, better adapted to the gridiron than the baseball field. Phree iofielders felt his mighty shoul. ders in his attack, all of which wss pulled off in one inning and which waa the cause of an uprising from the visiting club, An amicable understand- ing was fioally reached through the efforts of the umpires and captains of both nines and play resumed when the offending player was sent back to the initial sack after being ad- monished by the umpire that further playiog of his sort would mean evie- tion from the game, The following box score gives the details of the game : STRE HALL THE SCORE BY Centre Hal!—<0 1000201 1-5 Mililheim ~01012020 x8 Two-base hits, Smith, Bradford, B., Musser, Struck out by Hartewick, 8; by Musser, 8, Um pires, Mitteriing and Komenarsky INNINGS, i —— A Sn — Qualified Petitioners, Persona filing petitions to have their names printed on the primary ballot, must keep in mind that all petitioners must belong to the same political party designated on the petition. For in- stance, the signatures of Republicans on a Democratic petition will not be recognized, Another feature to be kept in mind is that a voter can sign legally only as many petitions as there are candidates to be voted for. For instance, a peti- tioner ean sign but one petition for tax collector, because there is but one tax collector to be elected in each district ; he may sign for one, two, three or four school directors, provided there are that many directors to be elected.

Petty Jadges Hold Liquor Licsnse Court and Grant Licouses to Seven Applicants. The danger of the petty judges in judicial districts made up of more than one county is again forcibly brought before the public by the action of the Huntingdon county associate judges, who held court and granted liquor licenses to seven applicants, To fill a vacancy, Governor Tener appointed Andrew LL. Couch an as sociate judge in Huntingdon county, and as soon as he was inducted into office arrangements were made to re- open the liquor licenss question. At a session of court held by the new pet. ty judge and Associate Judge Richard: son the Huntingdon county license situation was reversed and six appli cations granted, those of the Leister House, Brunswick Hotel, National House, Standing Stone Hotel, Wash- ington House, Martin L.

The postoffice building which Uncle Ham if erecting for Johnstown is near- ing completion. It is only one story high, and H. H. Btrause, the new Democratic postmaster, will soon take possession of it, I visited the new First Presbyterian church which was dedicated last May. This structure, which cost nesrly a quarter million dollars, is one of the finest in the city. The audience room has a large gallery in rear, and a ro. tanda ino the center, surrounded with beautiful windows that shed a mellow light. The rear portion of the build- ing is three stories high, and contains & Bunday-school room, class rooms, reading room, and several other apart ments. The basement contains a kitchen and dining On the third story is a nursery, where mothers their children too young to either leave at home or to be taken in- to the sudience room. The nursery is supplied with hobbyhorses, Teddy and many other playthings, and a nuree is in charge.

Mining Fxperiment Station A bill was passed by the legislature aud signed by Governor Tener for the establishment of a mining experiment station at Pittaburg. The bill carries with it an initial appropriation of $25,000, The work of the experiment station is to be under the supervision of three commissioners, Dz, W. Crane, dean of the school of mines of the Pennsyl- vania State College, chiel of the de partment of mines of Penneylvania, and a practical miner. The object of the mining experiment station is to conduct investigations and make tests looking toward the safe. guarding of the lives of miners and to bring about a greater degree of effi. ciency in the mining industry.
