Don vovaok, Mr. Roosevelt: May you
Lave sport in plenty and return lu safety.
"At any rate Roosevelt was President
while he was occupying the White House;
we admire hiui for that," says the Ogle
thorpe Oa. Echo. lie was that very thing
and then some!
"Will the republic endure?" inquires
Mr. Thomas W. Lawson. The fact that
it has endured Mr. Law son so long ought
to he proof positive of its abundant abil
ity to stand anything.
"Sknatoh Smith of South Carolina,
went up lo see the President yesterday,
and lost bis bat In consequence," says the
Charleston Post. Senators have been
known to lose their heads In that locality,
too but not lately.
Had '.he kidnappers remained sober
they might not have peen apprehended.
So booze played a prominent part lu the
capture. What kind of Prohibition argu
ment is tuisT-Oil City Blizzard.
First rate argument we should say. At
least as good as the school boy advanced
in his essay on fishing books. They'd
"saved many a poor fellow's life by not
swallowing 'era"
Sekminuly authoratlve sources at
Harrisburg convey the information that
the bill compelling trolley companies
operating outside of cities to carry freight
will pass. The present law makes It
optional with them to do so. The farmers
have demanded this legislation and are
likely to get it. The advantages accruing
to the rural communities that would re
sult areobvious.
Mr. O'Rkillky, the Cleveland saloon
keeper who "suspected" the kidnappers
of'Billie" Whitla and gave the tip to
policemen Sbattuck and Wood, has laid
claim to a share ol the reward money of
fered for the capture, and fairness de
mands that he be given a good blgsliceof
it. Had he not been alert and onto his
job the Hoyleg would have been out of
the city and probably safe from detection,
as they seemed to have everything lu
readiness to "lly the coop."
Thk thought expressed in the following
paragraph from the Blizzard has doubt
less animated the minds of hundreds of
uowspaper readers during the past ten
days: "There is a general feeling of dis
gust expressed over the manner in which
the kiduappers fell down, In tbeculraiua
tion of their enterprise, at Cleveland,
after carrying it out so cleverly up to the
closing chapter. Publishers, who had
about doubled their editions while the
sensation continued, are particularly In
dignant, and naturally think that Boyle
and his lemale companion deserve severe
punishment if for no other reason than
making such a lizzie of it."
It appears that the kidnapping of Billie
Whitla was planned by a woman. The
woman appears to be well educated and
refined in manner, and says she spent
fifteen years of her life In a oonvont In
Pennsylvania. She Is a tall blonde, 25
years old, and says she was never in
trouble before. Kldnappiug in tbis
country Is an extremely precarions busi
ness. There is almost no chance at all to
get ransom money and get away with It,
Tbis fact is recognized by the most dar
ing and skillful criminals, and only ig
norant amateurs or people befuddled by
drink would take the desperate chances
that the crime involves. Punxy Spirit.
"What sort of a President will Taft
make?" asks Leslie's Weekly, and then
proceeds to answer its own question In
this way: "He will not split his party as
Cleveland did. He will notquariel with
Senator Aldrich, as Mr. Cleveland quar
reled with Senator Gorman. On the other
hand he will probably not be as easy-going
or as soft-speaking as McKlnley, and
there will, perhaps, be many times when
those who oppose bim will feel theCleve
laiidesque outburst of Indignation. The
country is likely to bail bim with gener
ous acclaim, and Congrecs will be happy
sometimes and sometimes be unhappy.
But one thing seems certain Taft will be
his own President, and stand In no one
else's shadow."
On first thought it strikes one as strange
why our laws do uot provide the death
penalty for kidnappers, but on due re
flection we are inclined to agree with this
view of the matter which finds expression
In a number of exchanges: Some ten
years ago, when tbe present law was put
on tbe books, tbe House at Harrisburg
passed the act with the extreme penalty
attached. The Senate did tbe same thing,
but Senator Grady, of Philadelphia,
asked a reconsideration, stating that when
Charlie Ross was stolen (and probably
kept on a barge on the river till be died
from tbe rough experionce) he had been
an active worker in the efforts to recover
the child and that in that experience he
learned much. It was Senator Grady's
view that if the death penalty were pro
.vidod, any kidnappors closely pursued
would, having nothing to lose, kill his
prisoner in order to help his own escape.
To avoid this the penalty was made, as it
now stands, a life term or leas. It is hard
to btx) how any other plan could be
I Z 3 A 5 6

adopted wisely. If we leave thugs noth
ing to hope for, they will kill, and If we
leave tbe matter open, tbe tendency will
be to treat tbe victims carefully and keep
them alive at any cost. Tbe sentences the
f stealers of tbe Whitla child will get, when
convicted, will not make tbe criminals
tbe envy of other thugs.
In filing tbelr annual report on Friday
tbe auditors of Venango county sur
charged the county commissioners with
about l,300. Tbe largest item-2,373
relates to tbe installing of metallio furni
ture and filing cases In tbe rooms on tbe
west side of the court house. The items
are charged against tbe commissioners
collectively and separately. Messrs.
Baumgardner and II. A. Graham are
surcharged with f 100 for salary paid to
preacher at tbe poor farm. Mr. Baum
gardner Is surcharged with rents collected
from William Hill, Oil City, 240. Tbe

say: "It also appears from tbe evidence
taken that rents for tbe years 1U00 and

Synopsis of Argument by August C.
Morck, Oil City, Pa., before the Senate
Committee on Publio Health, March 23,
1909;
Optically speaking, tbe Eye is like a
camera, because it possesses both a light
bending and a light registering apparatus.
In a camera, the light-registering plate,
or focal screen, is chemically sensitized.
In an Eye, It Is nervously sensitized,
thereby communicating Impressions
made by waves ol light to the brain, in
similar manner to tbe action of the sen
sory nerves of the skin in communicating
a touch of tbe band to the brain. An Eye
can be born Imperfectly shaped, as well
as a nose or an ear, or foot, and still be
considered a healthy organ free from dis
ease. Tbe Eye, like a camera, in order
to do good work must have its light
bending and light-registering apparatus
in perfect adjustment to each other.
If, for Instance, an Eye Is abnormally
shaped, or, in other words, tbe Antero
Posterior dlatrter of tbe Eye Is too short
or too long, vision is maintained through
an excessive exertion of tbe Cilliary
muscles which govern the focal power of
the Eye. This continuous exertion causes
"Eye strain" and Its trains of headaches
and other nervous reflexes, tbe same as
leg or any other muscles, can produce
nervous reflexes. In one case a pair of
glasses serves to bend the rays of light
before they enter the Imperfectly formed
Eye and thus enable it to perform Its
Visual functions without excessive effort,
In case of overtaxed leg muscles a cane, a
crutch or a chair performs a similar ser
vice, and then these aids belong under
tbe same classification as that given
glasses and all other external devices em'
ployed to conserve nervous energy,
From the time of the invention of specta-
cles, 1299 A. D., up to to about 1850, with
but a very few exceptions, nearly all of
the scientific achievements pertaining to
optics were discovered by opticians and
astronomers. At tbis time observing
oculists noted that tbe wearing of glasses
did more than Just aid tbe eyesight, and
consequently tboy annexed the work oi
tbe optician to his practice and began to
fit glasses. And now these oculists say
that if glasses relieve headache then tbey
must per force be medicine. But we
optometrists reply that if tbe practice of
optometry Is the practice of medicine why
don't medical colleges teach it? For a
number of years poisonous drngs were
used to prepare healthy Eyes for optical
measurements and some of tbe oculists
are still using tbe same old Rip Van
Winkle methods. It is now known, bow
ever, that more perfect results can be
achieved without these "drops," than
with them, providing the operator under
stands and uses the Dynamio Method of
Retinoscopy. You ask why don't oculists
use this method Gentlemen, this sys
tem is tbe discovery of A. Jsy Cross, a
New York Optometrist of the highest
rank, a "Marconi" in tbe science of op
tics, so we presume it would not be con
sidered ethical to adopt a method that
was originated by an optometrist. An
other argument ot the Oculists is that
diseases of the Eyes can only be recog
nized by an oculist. Tbis is a presump
tion, for which tbe modern improved in
struments that are used to explore the
inner Eye any intelligent optometrist can
recognize a diseased Eye as readily as
any oue, but as optometrists do not treat
diseases tbese rases are turned over to
the proper authority. It is estimated
that about 90 per cent, ol the practice of
tbe average oculist comes from an ex
amination of the Eyes with a view to
fitting glasses. So we have tbe old, old
story of tbe "Dog in tbe Manger." Tbe
great middle class in tbis State, who can
not nor will not go to a charitable Eye
hospital to be practiced on by an Incompe
tent post graduate student, must either
remain partially blind or pay medical fees
for mechanical work. I am pleased to
Btate that the belter class of oculists and
most all of tbe regular practitioners of
medicine are not in sympathy with a bill
that will put optometrists out of business,
as tbe most of tbese doctors send their re
fraction work to the optometrists for tbe
simple reason that tbey are too busy
practicing medicine and with their micro
scope looking for more life-destroying
agencies. In recent researches tbey have
found so many new ones that they name
them after cities and countries; lor in
stance, there is tbe "Oeruiacicle" from
Germany, "Pariscide," from Paris, and
the "Microbe" from Irlnnd, and I want
to state right here that we have as bigh a
class of medical doctors in Venango
county as can be found any where.
Gentlemen, I will not delay you any
longer. I have the utmost confidence In
Ibis Committee to give us a "square deal"
and that you will make laws that will
protect the people generally and not cater
to tne wnims ol a lew disgruntled ocu
lists who are trying to usurp the tra
ditlonal rights of a craft that has done so
mucb in the uplifting of optometry and
science in general and wno have served
tne public lor centuries.

Shoots Father-in-Lavr and Tries Suicide
Tuesday night of last week L. F,
Hodges, in a fit of rage, shot his father-in-
law, A. P. Anderson, at Youngsville,
Warren county, firing two bullets from
a revolver into the man's body, one en'
terlng tbe left chest and the other strlk
Ing him in tbe back, neither of them bav
log yet been extracted bv tbe nhvsicians.
and still the man lives with some show of
recovery. After shooting Anderson
whom be supposed be bsd killed, Hodges
rushed out of the bouse and tried to kilt
himself by firing to balls into bis brain,
one or which is still lodged there wbil
tbe other glanced off tbn skull. He also
still lives and it is believed will recover,
having been placed in Emergency hospi
tal by the Sheriff. Hodges was very abu
sive toward his young wife, the daughter
of Anderson, on the night in question,
and when tbe latter remonstrated with
bim be flew Into a frenzy, with tbe result
stated. He is now overcome with re
morse and seems to be suffering more
mental angusn than physical pain or dis
tress, but receives little sympathy. Mr
Anderson is an uncle of our townsmen

The Kidnappers In Limbo.

Cleveland Tuesday of last week as tbe
kidnappera of Willie Wbitla, the little
Sharon boy, now languish in tbe Mercer
jail, where a heavy guard will be kept
over mem penning their trial wnlcb win
take place st the next session of aourt on
tbe third Monday ol April, Boyle, the
principal In this miserable tragedy, was
reareu in snaron, wnere ue resided until
six years ago, and where bis mother and
several brothers and sisters still reside,
being looked upon as among the most
respectable people or tbe place, the kid
napper being tbe black sheep of tbe flock.
Tbe womsn who claims to be bis wife is
thought to be tbe daughter of a man
named McDermont, a respected citizen of
Chicago. iney say tbey have been mar
ried about a year, and spent several
weeks in Sharon about tbe holidays.
Just what sort of pleas tbey will adopt
in tneir defense is not Known as neither
have employed counsel, but It is probable
tne woman win claim sue wss coerced in
to receiving tbe boy and taking care of
bim pending bis return to his parents, in
which case the man would take all tbe
blame upon himself in hope of clearing
tbe woman. I be authorities, however.
feel confident of conviction in both cases,
and tbe general opinion Is that both will
suffer tbe full penalty of tbeir crime.
Nothing less will satisfy the public which
has a rigbt to expect tbe full measure of
justice to be meted out to them if proven
guilty of tbis foul crime.

Forty Iluys and Nights
Of suffering from a broken needle in my
tnumD and hand, to which I applied flax
seed poultices for over a week with no
benefit. A friend told me that San-Cura
Ointment would draw it out. I applied
it as thick as a poultice. My hand was
swollen to twice its natural size. San
Cura reduced the Inflammation and pain
and drew out the broken needle, over an
inch long. I never felt so thankful. I
took tbe needle to Mr. Thompson, who
has it with other specimens of what San
Cura has done. I recommend San-Cura
