With this Mexican row on hand, find tbe ex-president who wishes be wasn't. Whilk Canadian reciprocity Is getting through congress tbe Lorimer case will have to content itself by silting on tbe fence. Why not abolish the umpire and have direct decisions by tbe people at baseball garnet? Is there no progressiveness in Baaeballdom? Lonq and fruitless has been Mr. B-yan's search for "avilable democratic candidates," and be may have to meet himself coming back on that same road. Disooubaoed because be is not able to do manual labor, Andy Totb, who a month or two ago was pardoned from the penitentiary after he bad served 20 years of a life sentence for a crime be did not commit, asked Warden John Francis to allow him to return to the Western peni tentiary, there to spend tbe remaining days of bis life. When Toth was relessed from tbe penitentiary reports bad it that Andrew Carnegie, having been touched by tbe story of Toth's misfortune, would pension him. Friends in Pittsburg also expressed their willingness to help. Up to date he received only 48. His health is rapidly failing and physicians Bay that bird work would kill him. The Puoxsutawney Spirit has bit up on an Idea, aa it usually does along tbe spring time of tbe year, to tbe effect that, in case the excise bill becomes a law, tbe function of granting liquor licenses should be vested in the board of county commissioners. As a rule these officials have about all the trouble they ought to bave to satisfy their constituency in tbe administration of publio alBairs and to impose tbis additional burden upon tbem would hardly be fair, so we'd suggest, In the interest of harmony, and because ot tbeir peculiar aptitude in discerning just what the people want and ought to bave, that the editors of the slate be made, ex officio, license granters or refusers, as the case may be. We have no doubt these men could handle tbe question to the en tire satisfaction "fall the people all the time, and thus one of the burning ques tions of the day would be settled at one tell swoop. As a suggestion we offer this one for what it's worth, and if you can beat, or even tie It, we'd be tickled to bear It, RECEST DEATHS. PARKER. Harlo Case Parker, one of the oldest residents of Fagundua, this county, died on Sunday last quite suddenly. Tbe de ceased bad not been In robust health since sustaining an Injury many years ago, while working at boating oil in tbe palmy days ot the Oil Creek excitement. He bad been a resident at Fagundus since 1865, or thereabouts, and witnessed tbe rise and fall of that wonderful oil field, and bis death Is like the passing of an old landmark.

Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at the home of ber son, Buffalo street, Frank lin, by Re". F. E. Hetrick. TAFT. Stephen Taftdied suddenly at tbe home of bia son Herbert, at Endeavor, Thurs day, April 26, 1911, aged 71 years. He bad been attending bis usual duties dur ing tbe day when be sustained a slight paralytic stroke. This was soon followed by another and he was assisted to his son's ho ne and a physician was sum moned, but another stroke during tbe nigbl carried bim away. Mr. Taft bad lived in Hickory township for nearly fifty years, with tbe exception of a few intervals of short duration, one which be spent in Tionesta. His employment usually consisted of team work at wbicb be was an expert, and he was an accom plished horsoman. Whatever he under took to do with a team, In the lumber woods or on the road, he did well and to the entire satisfaction of bis employer. Although a man of few words and these always right to the point, he was a good hearted, companionable man who bad many friends. He is survived by three sons and one daughter, namely, Herbert 0. of Endeavor, John of East Hickory, William of Kane, and Mrs. Wm. Atwell of Washington state. Two brothers, John and Jamos Taft, also survive. His wife died several years ago. Funeral services ere conducted by Rev. J. F. Scberer on Saturday afternoon, followed by inter ment in the East Hickory cemetery. The Split-Log Drag. The persistent use of the split-log drag for improving dirt roads by James H. Alcorn, of Cherrytree township, is com mencing to bear fruit. He has used tbe drag on a piece of road west of Oreshatn for the last two or three years in a proper manner and at tbe right time. His claims for tho drag are that It will give the peo ple the use of a good road from the time tbe frost goes out io tbe spring of tbe year until fall rains set in. That will be 100 per cent, better than under the present system and at half the cost of mainte nance and that the farmers cau work out their road tax a little at a time as the road needs it, wben tbe soil on tbeir farms is too wet to plow, plant or cultivate. I bad a talk witb some of tbe Cherrytree farm ers that used both the farm and split-log drags in improving their roads and they speak in high praise ot both methods. Three or four farmers on the Spring Creek road in Oilcreek township bad a very limited experience last year with a borrowed split-log drag near Sloadale. Tbey were so pleased with its work that they made two of their own and used tbem in a very limited way this spring over a piece of road, once witb both drags from tbe Weed torse barn to tbe C. W, Imel farm. Tbe improvement was so great that it was praised by everyone that saw it. Unfortunately it rained all tbe nextdayand heavy teaming practically wiped out the result ol our work. Hav- ng no encouragement from tbe super visors to continue the work, we dropped work on all except a piece of road from the Sloan brook to tbe C. W, Imel farm, which we are occasionally going over witb our drags. It can speak for Itself. Tbe split-log drag is preferable to tbe farm drag for tbe reason that it rounds np tbe road, inviting the water to go into the ditch. Tbe farm drag and float leaves the road fiat. ' With our limited experience we are pre pared to endorse wbat Mr. Alcorn and tbe Cherrytree farmers say about the drag. The Rural New Yorker of March 25 and also of April 15 gives illustrated Instruc tions how to make and use tbe split-log drag. These drags, as described by the Rural New Yorker, can be made by any person having their own timber for not to exceed 2 apiece or less, outside tbeir own Isbor. Any person not having a drag to look at can get plans from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, Farmers' Bulletin, No. 321. It describes tbe use of tbe drag as well as its construction. A postal card will bring it. Rural cor. Titusville Herald. Whig Hill.
