You are expected to send the money to this office, RA a. cba EDITORIAL, unless IT looks as though Quay knew why he selected his cousin for Governor ; he no doubt had in mind his press muzzling scheme at the time. - SINCE the Judges salary bill passed it makes Centre county judiciary all the more desireable, just by $ioc0. Col Reeder appreciates that the plam has grown in size and flavor; some olhers are watching the same fruit, THE amouont spent by the last Legisla- ture for increased salaries and new of- fices is simply enormous. We give the items in another column and you can't get away from it. Such a record makes farmers and taxpayers sick at heart with our government. - THERE promises to be a lively skir- mish for the chairmanship of the republi. can county committee. Col. W. PF. Reeder no doubt will be inclined to re. tain control of the organization for future emergencies. That is just what some others don’t want and W. I Fleming is booked by some of Judge Love's friends as a suitable man for county chairman. Fleming is a clever politician and could stir up the boys if he goes in. : — IT turns out that there is much rotten. ness in the post office department at Washington, which was thought to be uncorrupted, but plundering and criminal doings have been unearthed and are cre. ating a sensation. Why not clean out the stables as Augean stables were clean ed, by turning a river into them ? There will be no end to the wide spread and gigantic corruption until the people turn out the party in power. - - Here is a striling illustration of how courts sometimes disagree. The super. for court of Indiana has just rendered a decision to the effect that a board of health has no power or anthority to ex. clude from the public schools children who bave not been vaccinated and whose parents refuse to comply with local laws on the subject. That may hold in the state of Indiana. On the other hand, the supreme court of Massachusetts in an exactly similar case rendered a decision that a board of health bas complete power to enforce compulsory vaccination laws and to exclude from the schools unvaccinated pupils public p———————— NEWSPAPER MEN PROTEST. Tuesday, several hundred newspaper editors and publishers met in H arrishurg and in a public before Govern strong protest bearing in the House, ir Penuypacker, made a against the Salus-Grady $1.50 PER YEAR or demands of corporate wealth, The great victory achieved in behalt of the public in the great Northern Securities | company decision, while reflecting great 4 s | credit upon Attorney General Knox in prosecuting the case, again displays the importance of having a pure judiciary. The New York World, appropriately re- marks : “Justices have often been named in re ward for partisan political services, members of the Supreme Court and even chief justices have been so honored. Bat Justice Thayer never rendered any par. tisan service ; he loves the law, lives for the law, thinks of the law and has no di- versions, passions or pleasures except the intellectual enjoyment of arduous duty uprightly performed. Justice Thayer's surroundings are evidence of his fairness. He is simply a judge, knowing and giving the law. And well it is for the country that there are such men, quiet, silent, reflective, weighing their words, born with the judicial tem- per, the legal mind indifferent to politics or public clamor, to do justice iv accord with the letter and the spirit of the law | without prejudice or preference.” What is true of our higher courts is especially appropriate to our local courts. There is where the interests of a frequently dependent. local sary to maintain order and protection to community are Confidence in our courts is neces life and property, aud to insure that the fill these positions must be chosen alone upon their fitness. It will not be long before the citizens of this county will be called upon to make such a choice. For public good it is to be hoped that the choice will meet men who all expectations, RECENT DEATHS.

To the surprise of all the Governor displayed a hostile spirit to the newspaper men, and while attorneys from Philadelphia upheld the measure, Gov. Peanypacker’s two daughters in the rear of the room beartily applauded the points made against the Press. The impression is that the Governor will endorse this iniquity in a day or two. Quay wants newspapers muzzled, Penrose hates criticism by the Press, ballot-box stuffers despise the papers, boodiers and grafters have no use for publicity and these reasons may have much influence upon His Excellency, who was selected and promoted by them for the position he fills. - Some State Officials.
