Dr. Scbaeirer Heeina to bave a couimon
senae view of tbe matter.
Aftkr tomorrow at high noon call hi in
PrenMent Taft. Like bis Illustrious
predeceHHor, he'll make good to tbe last
degree. President Roosevelt recently
wrote ol him like this; "No man of bet
ter training, no man of more dauntless
courage, or sounder common sense and
cf higher and finer character baa ever
come to the Presidency than William
Howard Taft." Such a testimonial from
such a source couuts with tbe American
people.
W. H. Andkuws, the well known
former state political lender in Pennsyl
vania, has won out again as tbe properly
accredited territorial delegate to Congress
from New Mexico, bis present linine. By
unanimous con-ent, tbe bouse of repre
sentatives at Washington on Thursday
declared bim to bave been tbe legally
elected delegate. Mr. Andrews' seat was
contested by bis opnneut at tbe Novem
ber election, bo carried his contest to
tho house of representatives, where tbe
former Penusylvanian's claim was sus
tained without a dissenting voice on eith
er side of tbe House.
Ir has been conclusively demonstrated
that no mau ever became president of the
United .stales who had a more courageous
and tearless appetite than tbtt of William
Howard Taft. Buffalo Courier.
There you go again! No possible use
to try to satisfy tho grouchy, grumbling
Democratic editors. We who love Mr.
Taft for bis great size-brain, beart, good
nature, appetite and all can readily un
derstand bow a disgruntled and dys
peptic critic like the Courier would
snarl wneu he contemplated Bucb a set of
digestive organs. But it would be all tbe
same were the genial President-elect a
Bcrutity, bouy, piucbed up dyspeptic.
It is bard for aucb to understand that a
strong healthy specimen of manhood re
quires more than a cup of bot water and
a toothpick for a meal.
One of our valued exchanges contained
the following item about the home news
paper which meed! our views so fully
that we give it space in our oolntuns. It
says: Tbe local newspaper should be
found in every borne. No child will ever
grow up ignorant who can be taught to
appreciate tbe home paper. It is tbe
stepping Btoue to intelligence in all those
matters not to be learned in books. Give
your children a foreign paper wbicb
contains not one word about any person,
place or thing wbicb the; ever saw or
perhaps ever heard ol and bow can you
expect them to be Interested? But let
them have tbe borne pnpnr and read ol
persons they meet, and places witb which
they are familiar and soon an interest is
awakened which Increases with every
arrival ol the local paper. Thus a habit
of reading is fo'med and those children
will read the papers all their lives and be
come Intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors, strong in their
knowledge of the world as it is today,
A hill Introduced by Representative
Milliton, of Venango county, in tbe
House at Harrisburg, to change the form
of the ollicial ballot is so sensible in its
purpose and so necessary to overcome
obvious defects in tbe present form that
there should not be a vote against tbe
measure. In presidential elections, aa
has frequently beeu pointed out, thous
ands of voters manage to vote for the
electors only, when their real purpose is
to support the entire list of their party's
. candidates. Tbe arrangement of tbe
party squares in a column on tbe left of
the ballot is misleading, and many a good
man has gone down to defeat in close
districts through the lossof a few hundred
votes, resulting from placing the cross in
the square at the head of the electors in
stead of in the square at the left of tbe
ballot. It is a detect which can be easily
remedied, and the legislature has no ex
ruse whatever for postponing the reform
A single ballot with the party square at
the top of each column, as in Ohio, would
be all that s necessary.
Our genial friend Smith of the Punxy
Spirit, of whom it can truthfully be said
be is no slouch of an orator himself, gives
the whole snap away in these few lines:
There bus been iu the past a great deal of
fraud and deception and plain lying about
Hpeechmakinir. Many a "gilted orator"
bas speut weeks in preparing and com
mining a speech, tho delivery of which
was prefaced by the remark that the ora
tor was "totally unprepared," and the
audience must make allowance for bis
purely extemporaneous remarks. Every
sane man knows that there never was an
orator who could make a speech that waa
worth the delivery without some sort o
preparation. And the really great
speeches bave invariably been the fruit
of great labor. William McKinley, who
habitually delivered his addresses from
manuscript, did much toward breakb-g
up the practice ot trying to Impress an
audience with the belief that tho speech
to which it was listening was the result of
spoil -lupous combustion ol tbe intellect.
Theodore Roosevelt never hesitates to
show his manuscript, and Judge Taft
renders his remarks from the typewritten
page. Senator Foraker, the Cicero of
Congress, also relies upon his manu
scripts. Ail ol which is ell, for tbe In
Htantaneons inspirations of even the most
brilliant intellects are apt to boescowJing
tuuiniuuplii'-i.f, eiVept iu sp'ols.

Believes Barnes' Story
The police committee of councils again
decided last nigbt that no stone will be
left unturned to develop any clue that
may lead to the apprehension of tbe
murderer or murderers of John Blevins,
and tho city will assist tbe efforts of those
having the matter In charge In every way
possible. Members of tbe police com
mittee of city councils were closeted for
nearly two hours witb C. H. Akens
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
discussing tbe various clues. At tbe re
quest of Mr. Akens, tbe meeting was a
secret one. No persons were admitted
other than the police committee and the
attorney. Tbe history of the Blevins
murder, which was committed more than
10 years ago, was thoroughly gone over.
Mr. Akens related the history of tbe mur
der and of every possible clue to tbe
prepetratora. Tbe histories and tbe rec
ords of the various criminals whose
names have been mentioned as knowing
something of the murder were discussed.
It was finally determined to send Coun
cilman Jobn Rae, ot the Sixth ward, and
Attorney Akens to Franklin and Venan
go county some day this week in order to
look up some clues that bave not yet
been fully worked out. The sentiment
of tbe police committee seemed to be that
it is best to look up tbe clues as furnished
by A. Ruth. It is not believed that Ruth
told nearly all he knows about the Blev
ins murder. Tbe committee feel that
while bis story was liberally interspersed
with many falsehoods, that there was
some truth In his stories.
It is believed that Attorney Whltmer
may yet be able to get to tbe bottom of
tbe matter, that be may force Ruth to
disclose some valuable Information. It
la tbe sentiment of tbe police committee
tbat because so much money baa been
spent so lar in the attempt to solve tbe
Blevins murder mystery it is tbe best
policy to attempt to solve each clue if
possible. New Castle News.
In addition to tbe foregoing the Frank
lln News of Saturday gives the following:
"If Frank Barnes does fail to solve tbe
Blevins murder mystery, be should have
the credit for sending one of the worst
criminals ever in these parts to tbe peni
tentiary," said a man to-day who bas
followed the case of Barnes, "I refer to
Dan Wilder, who Is serving a six-year
term in the penitentiary for planning tbe
robbery of Miss Copeland at Pitbole,
bave been at Bradford and Olean, and tbe
police there say that they are under last
ing obligations to Barnes for sending this
man 'down,' for he is unquestionably
one of tbe worst criminals tbat tbe an
tborlties there eyer bad to deal witb. The
police in those two towns seem to think
that Barnes bas performed a publio ser
vice."
In one of Barnes's statements last fall
he told of the destruction by tbe Olean
authorities of a bouse occupied by Wilder
and other disreputable people. This was
accomplished by throwing a rope around
the house and pulling it off its founds
tions witb a locomotive, the bouse being
on the railroad's property. Tho other
day R. D. Billlugton, road supervisor of
the Citizens Traction Company in Oil
City, was in Franklin and told a friend
here that be superintended tbat job. He
corroborates what Barnes said relative to
the reputation of Wi der.
The Olean Times last week contained a
column and a half relative to the record
of Wilder in thai section. The aiticle
showed that he bad a bad criminal rec
ord and corroborated jn many details
what Barnes bad told ol bis fortuor associate:.

so fully the expectations of tbe most ex

makes a most safe pleasant and effica
