Ouly the idle rich ran afford to be eccentric and dissatisfied. Ik Japan will quit talking about war and agree to keep tbe peace the author ities at Waxhington are ready to guaran tee that America will be well represented at tbe forthcoming Japanese Exposition. In addition to being a good organizer and a persistent pusher President Roose velt is likewise a philosopher. He is satislied with two battleships and will be reconciled to a compromise currency bill. Pistol carriers without a license are uow to be severely punished la Chicago; but a man who is held up and robbed at tbe muzzle of a gun would hardly think to ak (he man behind it whether he bad a license. Tub desire to take Harry Thaw to Eu rope ouelit to be encouraged, and while giving thanks for tbe other blessings vouchsafed us, don't forget that the re porters have been unable to locate Evelyn Thaw lor over a week. Tiik United States now outnumbers Germany in both battleships' and ar mored cruisers and two new battleships a year will maintain the superiority. In naval programme comparisons with any nation the United States shows well at the front. t It is reported thattheMethodistchurch is going to fix five years as an absolute time limit for pastors to remain la one place. But what public benefactor will tlx thirty minutes as an absolute time limit for a sermon? The Tltusville Her ald wants to know. A democratic paper wants to kuow -vliat tbe Republican party means by its promi-e of tariff revision. It means pro tective duties suited to the country's con ditions and best Interests. It means a straightforward, thorough condemnation ol free trade iu tbe future as In the past. Conorkhh has finally decided to pass tbe emergency currency measure at this session, instead of the next. This is a wise move, and takes much ammunition from tbe democrats during the coming campaign, besides it is tbe most states manlike financial measure enacted by Congress in the last fifty years, A iiili. has been introduced in the House, in conformity with the recom mendation of the President, providing for the pay ment of a year's wages to any person in the employ of the Uuited States who is injured while in tbe performance of his duties, and who is not able to re turn to work before that time. If he is killed his dependent mother or children under sixteen years of age, will be en titled to a year's pay, Ex-Senator J. W. Lee died suddenly at bis home in Pittsburg Monday night about 10 o'clock, from heart disease, which trouble had affected his health for several weeks although Lis condition was at no time considered critical. In the death of this able man the State loses one of its noblest specimens of humanity. A man of strong will, yet tender-hearted as a child, an able lawyer, broad-minded, energetic, full of life, and above all abso lutely incorruptible, his taking off is in deed deplorable from a human stand point. The country has few yich as Mr. Lee to spare, aud the passing of oue like lie leaves a gap which is hard to till. Sen ator Lee was aged nearly 62 years, being born at Sharon, July 17, 18l,"i. He is sur vived by bis widow and one daughter. The postoftice department issued an order permitting any firm after duly reg istering, to perforate stamps with initials or devices so small as not to greatly de face the stamp and yet large enough to be easily observed. This is a Btep in the direction of preventing the continued theft of postage stamps from large corpo rations. It 1b well known that many omployos have a way of abstracting post age! stamps in large quantities and selling them. Burglitrs always look on postage stamps as potential cash, for they can always be disposed of. The object of the Dew regulation Is to brand the stamps so that any person buying them does so with the full knowledge that tbey are stolen property. This makes it more difficult to dispose of the stamps, although, of course, it will not fully prevent theft. The stamps will be perfectly good, no matter by whom affixed, hue they can be tra:ed a little more easily aud may bo of use iu detecting robberies. Republican County Committee Meeting. Tbe Republican Committee of Forest County met at the court house, Friday aftornoon, May 8th, 1908, at two o'clock, pursuant to tbe call of Chairman J C, Dunn. On motion Mr. Dunn was elected Temporary Chairman of tbe meeting and J. C. Gelst and H. T. Klinestiver were elected Secretaries. A roll call of the newly elected members of committee showed that eight of the election pre' cinots were represented, as follows: Da rid Weaver, Cooksburg, by proxy. W. M. Coon, Clarlngton. R. W. Guiton, Guitonville. M. E. 8ibble, Nebraska. M. N. Gilbert, West Hickory. H. O. Tafl, Endeavor. E. E. Zuendel, New town. J. B. Eden, Tionesta township. Nominations for County Chairman being iu order, the name of H. 8. Brock- way, of Marienville, was proposed, and he was unanimously elected. On taking the chair Mr. Brock way thanked tbe con vention for the honor bestowed on him, and promised his best efforts for the success of the whole Republican ticket in the fall. Chairman R rook way appointed Win H. Pickens, of Marienville, as Secretary and Treasurer of the County Committee. Speeches were made by candidates A R. Mechlins, J. C. Geist, W. H. Harrison and J. M. Zuendel, and by D. W. Mor rison and Dr. J. C. Dunn. There was an air of complete harmony throughout all the deliberations of tbe convention and tbe Indications for a rousing Republican victory lu November never were better. Ou motion tbe chairman appointed Hon. C. A. Randall, Dr. J. C, Dunn and D. W. Morrison as a Committee on Res olutions. Tbe committee reported the following resolutions, which were unaoi mously adopted, after which tbe conven tion adjourned to meet at tbe call of tbe oounty chairman: Resolved, That we, tbe representatives of the Republican party of Forest County, hereby renew our adherence to the prln ciples of tbe Republican party, both State and National. We heartily endorse the administration ol President Roosevelt and commend his efforts in behalf of tbe people, In securing to them equal rights before tbe law, and In controlling corporations and (rusts and giving (o all people equal protection un der our laws. We hereby endorse the candidacy ol Hon. P. C. Knox for tbe nomination for President at the Chicago Convention, be lieving him to be eminently qualified In every way for tbe position and fully as sured that bis election would secure to tbe cnuntiy a new era of prosperity. We heartily endorse the work of our Congressman from the Twenty-eighth District, the Hon. N. P. Wheeler, In bis successful efforts to procure for our old veterans and their wives their Just dues, and In bis earnest support of the present administration. We heartily endorse the Republican nominees for the various positions to which they aspire, and commend them to tbe voters of Forest County as well quali fied In every way for these positions, and hereby pledge to them our hearty support. The President has told tbe senate, pretty plainly, that be is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and fully en tilled to hire or fire wbom he sees fit, within legal limits. Tbe senate is not pleased with bis utterance, but there can be little question that Mr. Roosevelt has acted clearly within his prerogatives. He is commander and we haven't a doubt that be will command. Titusville Herald. And do it right and proper, too. Philosophy from tbe Punxy Spirit: Tbe man who boasts that be believes In no sect or creed, or la guided by no ethi cal system tave bis conscience, Is mis taken about It. He is a Pharisee. As a foundation for conscience presumed to be a man's guide In tbe matter of upright eousness of character he must have some authority wbicb be recognizes. To get bis morals from bis environment is dan gerous, for his environment may have low standards, and such a man is likely to go wrong at any time. Tub League of Republican Clubs of New York, to ascertain tbe sentiment of tbe voters on tbe Presidency, has just completed a canvass of the State, tbe seventh It has made in fifteen months. It shows that Roosevelt is the almost unanimous choice, less than two percent, of those who sent replies to questions asked them having expressed opposition to the President or preference for another candidate. Tbe general belief appears to be that any of tbe Republican candidates can be elected, but with Roosevelt lead ing tbe ticket every doubt both in tbe State and Nation would be removed. State Highway Commissioner Hunter advocates a trunk highway running through tbe state, north and south and east and west, and adds: "There should be roads traversing every county or main road. These trunk roads and primary roads should be paid for and maintained entirely by tbe state and be exclusively under the supervision and control of the stale autborltii s. All roads tapping these trunk and primary or main roads should also be built and maintained by the state, while strictly local roads that do not at any point touch the trunk or main roads should be built, maintained and con trolled as at present by the authorities of the townships in which tbey lie. One thing which should be done by tbe next legislature is to give (he state highway department, without regard to petitions from supervisors and county commission ers, tbe right to build connecting roads, that Is, sections to connect two or more stretches of good roads already con structed."

Sixteen and a half miles of tunnel composing the Pennsylvania railroad's underground system of approaches to the center of New York city were completed when the second of the two tunnels through the Bergen hill In Jersey City was holed through. The two single track tunnels under Bergen hill are ouch more than a nilie long and portions were driven through very hard trap rock, necessitating the use of 310 tons of dynamite and three years of work. As the tunnels approach the Hudson river they are so depressed as to con nect with the tunnels under the river bed by which trains will be carried into the proposed new station at Thirty-third street and Seventh ave nue. From that Btation eastward tunnels extend across Manhattan Island and under the East river to Long Island City. The total distance from Bergen hill to Long Island City is 5.3 miles. The completion of the tunnel system was celebrated Inst night by a dinner at Sherry's cafe. Only a small amount of work now remains to be done be fore the excavation for the entire New York improvement of the Pennsyl vania railroad will have been accon pllshed. this still unfinished exoava tion being on the approaches to the station between Ninth and Tenth ave nues. Battleships May Visit Vancouver. Ottawa. Out.. May 12. Ambassa dor Bryce has transmitted to the gov' ernment the reply of the Washington authorities to the invitation tendered some two weeks ago by the Canadian government for the American fleet now cruising on the Pacific to visit Vancouver and Victoria. The Ameri can navy office states that, owing to the present disposition of the fleet, the arrangements being made for dry- docking, the program mapped out for the visit to Japan, etc., It will be Im possible for the whole Pacific fleet vessels to go to the Canadian coast cities at present. Later, however, If desired, eight armored cruisers might go there. The government Is consid ering whether or not it will be advis able to ask this smaller squadron to pay a friendly v'sit this summer. Can't Prevent Foreign Bound Books. New York, May 12. Letters were received by the Central Federated Union from the department of finance and different city officials In reference to a complaint that the hooks for the New York public library were bound by an English firm while American bookbinders were going Idle. In the complaint It w;as asked that the work be given to the union bookbinders of this city. Comptroller Metz and the other city ofllcials replied that the public library was run by private cor porations which had a contract with a firm at Bath, England, to bind the books, and that therefore the city officials had no control over the mat ter.

Mr. llershfield, of tbe Monarch Clothing Company, has been a buyer, seller and manager of the art of clothing for the past twenty years. A great maoy fastidious persous have been accustomed to have their clothing tailor made. For the benefit of those who have been misled by unscrupu lous cheap managers who represent themselves as Woolen Mills, we wish to enlighten the public on their process of doing business and incidentally ad-, vise Woolen Mills purchasers of so called tailored clothing that to get a tailored suit they must patronize a custom tailoring store and not a Woolen Mills store. Manufacturers ot woolens have more than they can do to turn out their piece goodsat present their supply is oversold. Fakirs, imitators aod imposlers who can hardly meet their bills try to impose on the public and by buyiug a number of yards of cloth aod showing them to purchasers will take your measure, send for a suit and have it made up to fit you. It generally is guess work but it may fit. The sum and substance of Cloth ing News is that these suits are made by ready-made tailors and are not cus tom tailored soils. MONARCH CLOTHING CO.
