THF FOREST REPUBLICAN. i. C. WCNK, Editor 4 Proprkto. WEDNKSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1909 Congress on Monday unanimously voted an appropriation of $800,000 for the earthquake sufferers of Italy. Mr. Bryan says (be Democratic party Is very much alive. Has be been apply ing the looking-glass toal to see if It still broatbesT Thk postal savings bank is established in tbe Philippines and is reported to be growing favorably. Forty per cent of tbe depositors are Filipinos, and this is their first experience with bank facilities. Mr. Knox has been approved as cabi net timber by McKloley, Roosevelt and Taft, and by his state for senator, and each time the office sought him without effort on bis part. Tbe country is fortu nate to have a supply of men of this stamp, says tbe St. Louis Globe-Democrat, There is nothing slow about the man ner in which our countrymen are re sponding to thedistress call from stricken Italy, truthfully says tbe Oil City Bliz asard. The outpouring of contributions la fully as spontaneous as at the time of tbe California earthquake, which demon strates that when it comes to rendering assistance to suffering humanity all na tions look alike to our humanitarians. Such open-handed charity should dis courage the organization of Black Hand societies. At the legislative caucus Monday even Ing, preceding the organization of tbe legislature yesterday Senator Boies Pen rose was nominated to succeed himself in the Unitrd States Senate by practically a unanimous vole, there being but 25 votes In opposition, 13 ol these going to State Treasurer John O. Sheata. Senator Pen rose's election will take place on tbe l!)th of this month when tbe Senate and House vote ointly on tbe que-tion. John F. Cox was elected speaker of tbe House. After listening to tbe reading of Gov. Stuart's message the legislature took" a recess of two weeks to allow the speaker time to select tbe standing committees. Mr. Oliver's Candidal' for United Sillies Senator. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 29. Tbe Hon. John W. Crawford, of the Forty-fifth dis trict, senior member of the state senate of Pennsylvania and chairman or tbe Alle gheny county legislative delegation, is taking a keeu Interest in the candidacy of George T. Oliver for the United States Senate. Discussing tbe situation today, Senator Crawlord, who recently was re elected for a fourth term, said: "It is now nearly two weeks since tbe candidacy of George T. Oliver for tbe United States Senate was first seriously considered, and a week since tbe Alle gheny county legislative delegation un animously indorsed him in caucus. Dur ing this time, as a friend of his I have paid some attention to newspaper com ment on the subject, and especially to such of it as was unfriendly. It is of this that I think something should be said. "Some have sneered because Mr. Oliver is wealthy. Is that discreditable? I have yet to learn that to be born without means, to work bard for 30 or 40 years, to contend time and ngaiu against adverse fortuue, to survive the reverses inevitable in a period of Industrial development and transition, and at last to achieve a com fortable position in life, should be held obiectionable. Mr. Oliver Is not of the sudden rich, but quite tbe contrary. He has not oppressed, he has not crushed others, and be has resorted to no unlaw ful or improper methods for his own ag grandizement. "Some have urged that we must have another Knox another great lawyer and another great orator. Not necessarily. Spooners, Knoxes, Roots, Lodges and Culbersons are few, and that is why they stand out so brilliantly. Besides, It is not essential that one excel In these re spects in order to make a good Senator. Tbe man of most dominating personality in the Senate today is neither orator nor lawyer. Tbe President is not a lawyer. The late Senator Allison was only an or dinary lawyer and an ordinary speaker, and yet be was an extraordinarily valu able Senator. Mark llanna was not a lawyer and made no speeches until late in life,, but he was a real Senator for all tbat. As for Mr. Oliver, he was a prao ticing attorney for 10 years and he Is well grounded in the law. He was but 26 and bad been at tbe bar only three years, when he was made solicitor for the Dollar Savings Bank. This was in 1874 when that bank was the largest financial insti tution in Pittsburgh. The trustees were among tbe most conservative and sub stantial men in tbe city, and the service was of a peculiarly exacting nature re quiring both skill and discretion. It was tbe most important general counselorship In tbat part of tbe state. Air. Oliver dis charged lis duties with entire satisfaction and retained the position until be retired Ironi active practice In 1K8I. Tbe place is now beld by Mayor George W. Guthrie. In short you may be sure tbat Mr. Oliver is lawyer enough to discriminate be tween what is constitutional legislation and class legislation, between meritorious measures and political flubdub. As to speaking, be can take care of himself in the committee room or on bis feet. At any rate the criticism we bear most fre quently of the Senate is tbat it runs too much to oratory. Often the cry la for fewer speeches and less prolonged dis cussion, so I fancy one orator more or less will not imperil tbe nation. Besides, the tendency of all legislation today is to ward the regulation of business. More and more each year we are trying to cor rect commercial and industrial evils minimize transportation abnseB and re lieve the distresses of labor by act of Con gress. What more uatural, therefore than for Pennsylvania a state so Intimately concerned in these problems to increase the leaven of business men in the Senate by sending a business man like Mr. Oli ver to Washington? We all know that for nearly 3d years he has bad to do with the very questions now uppermost in the public mind as a manufacturer, an em ployer, a shipper, a transporter, a devel oper, an investor and as an editor. The experience he has had must prove inval uablo when applied to proposed legisla tion his legal training will keep him on constitutional ground, while tbe saving common sense which has always charac terized him will act as a deterrent if radl calism seeks to run rampant in either ex treme touching tbe issue of business and national prosperity. "I noted with amusement the remark of one paper that thought a mau might be a good lather, a kind employer, a respect ed citizen, of acknowledged integrity, and also aloyal Republican, tbbse were not sulllcient reasons why he should be sent to the United States Senate. Of course not. Still, those are attributes not to be despised even by men who occupy 'the seats ol tbe mighty.' Hainan be admir able in bis personal relations, if after be has lived for GO years in the same com munity he is of good repute for probity anil fair dealliig, and be notable lor the instincts of decency which Invariably in spire his attitude toward others, it Is rea . sonable to assume tbat the same rule of oouductwill be observed by bioj as 8 public servant In other words, we in Pittsburgh commend Mr, Oliver to tbe people and legislature of Pennsylvania as the right man to succeed Senator Knox because we know tbat be can be trusted in all things. We believe he will live up to the best traditions nf tho Senate and will not lower tbe standard of excellence which is and ought to be demanded of tbat distinguished body, "I have also seen Mr, Oliver referred to as a machine politician, or a mere 'organ ization man,' and an oftice-seeker. He la 'an organization man' in that he has been persistently loyal and unselfishly devoted to tbe Republican party in the state and nation. It has been matter of faith and principle with him, not one of personal advantage, power or profit; nor has be been the creature of a clique, or the bene ficiary of unfair methods. So far from seeking office, hitherto he has done Just tbe opposite. Twenty-eight years ago be declined a state senatorship, 10 years ago be declined a nomination for congress-man-at-large, and four years ago be de clined tbe United Slates Senatorship. These honors were within his reach with out opposition in his party, but for per sonal reasons be remained in private life. In all tbe intervening years, however, there has been no more sincere laborer In the Republican cause. Surely, then, now that he aspires to a seat in the United States Senate, and by general consent Al legheny county Is looked to for the suc cessor to Senator Knox, it should be a pleasure for Pennsylvania Republicana to pay Mr. Oliver well-deserved com pliment to round out his career. It seems to me tbat a man who, In the larger sense, has enjoyed the confidence of McKinley, Roosevelt and Tafl -to go no farther back in the roll of Republican Presidents is pretty substantial senatorial timber." RECENT DEATHS. 6TAKELKY. David Stakeley, for fifty years or up wards a resident of Tylersburg, died at bis home on Friday, 1st Inst., ol cancer, from which be had suffered for two years or more. He was aged 77 years, and was prominent in the affairs of his commu nity for a long term of years, and was one of its most highly respected citizens.

She was tbe daughter of the late Dr. Winans. and grew to womanhood in this lown. It was during the pastorale of Rev.

Mr. McCreary became pastor of Grace M. E. church at Oil City where tbe family resided for a number of years, and from there he entered the western field of labor.

T. F. Kitciiev, Secretary. Ofllcial Changes. The olllciul changes at the court house took place Monday when the old stepped out and the new stepped in. Sheriff Stroup delivered over tho keys to his successor, S. R. Maxwell, who moved his family into the sheriff's house on Monday, the retiring olllciul moving into his new domicile on Vine street. While thero was 110 fortune in the Sheriff's office in the last term, and hasn't been for several prior terms, Mr. Stroup performed hisdutics conscientiously and well, and it can be said of him that "he made a good Sheriff," and retires with the respect of all. A complete change has taken place in the Commissioners' otlice, Messrs. Agncw, Wolf and Emert retiring and Messrs. Har rison, Zucnclel and McClcllan assuming the duties of that very important ollicc. The retiring hoard has left a good record for economical administration of the affairs of the county during the past yeurs, having made very many substantial improvements ubout the public buildings, bridges, etc., and at the some time materially reduced the tax inillage and paying off a considera ble portion of the county indebtedness, and of them it can be truthfully said "well done." Thi new board organized Monday by electing Win. II. Harrison as president; 8. M. II enry, clerk; uud M. A. Carringcr, solicitor; Dr. J. C. Dunn, county physician; Chus. Hunter is retained as janitor. At tho County Home Mr. and Mrs. F. Wcnk are succeeded by Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Hill as Steward and Matron. Tho new in cumbents found everything at the home in perfect order for their reception, Mr. and Mrs. Weuk having conducted the institu tion in a thorough, businesslike manner, and while feeding and clothing the inmates well and looking after their every comfort, have saved the county many times more than their salaries amounted to as com pared with the former management of this institution. They also retire with the good opinion of ull who have had to do with the county home in the past three years. At the Prothonotary's otlice the efficient and popular John C. Geist will do business at the same old stand for the next three years. His past record is a guarantee for the future, and the people will receive the same courteous treatment as ot yore when they have occasion to do business at that otlice. Messrs. Carson, Haugh and Warden, the retiring bnurd of County Auditors, were very ellicient in the discharge of their du ties and deserve the thanks of the people forthc close attention they have heretofore given to the interests of the taxpayers. They arc succeeded by Messrs. G. H. War den, A. C. Gregg and J. P. Kelly, the first named having been re-elected. These gen tlemen, with J as. I). Davis as clerk, will in a few days begin the annual audit of the county accounts. J. B. Eden and H. II. McClcllan, who have hud charge of the delicate and impor tant matter of drawing the juries for the past three years, which they faithfully per formed, step aside for two other officials, Ernest Sihhle and Lewis Wagner, who ure nut new at the business, .having served a term in that capacity once before. , With J. F. Proper as clerk they arc now engaged in filling the jury wheel. That the new officers will do their very best in the discharge of their arduous duties to merit the approval of the taxpayers and citizens who have entrusted them with the county's affairs we have every reason to be lieve, and in this effort wo wish them the best of success.

Law In Tionesta and vicinity were shocked at the news tbat Mrs. Law had committed suicide by shooting herself at her home in Pittsburg on Saturday, Dee. 2(,10kS. In this community, where the family had formerly resided and were universally respected, many heartfelt re grets were expressed at the traglo affair. For ten years Mrs. Law bad been tbe vic tim of a homicidal mania, and on two oc casions bad to 1)6 sent to hospitals after causing tbe death of two babes. On each occasion she recovered her reason and was again united with ber family, ap parently entirely restored to health, 1 he following account of the distressing affair is culled from tbe Pittsburg Dispatch of December 27tb: "Ten years of pitiful, shuddering dread la tbe pretty borne of Frank W, Law, stove manufacturer, of 7000 Kelly street, East End, terminated at noon Saturday wben Mr, Law went to Lis wife's room and discovered ber dead body upon tbe floor, a bullet hole In ber temple and bis own revolver just within the grasp of the limp fingers.

Twice the specter bad gained for the husband and Ills suffering wife un pleasant notoriety, wben two babies bad died at tbe band of tbe Insane mother. For several days husband and relatives bad lived iu terror of the end that came Saturday, and a sister of Mrs, Law bad lived constantly with tbeafllicted woman. A little more than 10 years ago, on July 24, 1S9S, Mrs. Law, In a sudden fit of de mentia, killed hereon, little Arthur, who was but 18 months old. Tbe family at that time lived on Summer street, North side. Tbe babe was found dead, bis throat cut. Mrs. Law was placed in St. John's hospital, where she remained for a few weeks, being finally discharged as well. On March 17, 1900, little Florence Law, aged 3 months and 11 days, waa found at tbe Kelly street home of the couple dead from strangulation. For this Mrs. Law was sent to Dixmont Asylum, where, after a year she was discharged as cured. For some time past ber mind had been failing again, but she begged not to be sent to an asylum. The shot tbat end ed the patieut's sufferings was not beard by tbe husband and other inmates of the house Saturday morning and tbe ghastly discovery when Law mounted tbe stairs to bid bis wife goodby preparatory to go ing downtown was the first Intimation be bad of his bereavement." Ida Louise Law was aged 44 years and was born and reared In Oil City, ber maiden name being Trax. She is sur vived by her husband, one daughter, Eva, and two sons, Clarence and Ray mond. Also by several sisters and broth ers. During the past summer Bhe and her husband visited Tionesta friends wben she seemed in perfect health and fine spirits.
