THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. t. WCNK, . Coitom 4 Pkopni WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1913 1915 JANUARY 1913 IS M I T I W TF 8 I I f I PI2I5I41 J5 6 7 8 9ffi L2 13141516 17 II 192021222324 "7j2829P3in Utah Is Ibe first state to select woman to carry tbe electoral vote to Washington, alter helping by her ballot to decide it. There ban been In Utah a wide departure from tbe views of Joseph Smith and Brlgham Young on tbe status of American women. Thk phenomenal succens of tbe parcel post is very Kratlfying to Postmaster General Hitchcock. Tbe system went into operation on the first of January, and the first three weeks resulted in sell ing 840,000,000 parcel post stsmps and in collecting over 1 1 8, 000.000 revenue for the Post Office Department from this service. Tbis is an exceedingly large showing snd it Illustrates bow popular tbis service has become. Th k average good citizen of Pennsyl vania, we surmise, is not concerned about what particular boss is credited with having secured tbe passage of any par ticular act of Assembly. All we want is good legislation, and as we are all opposed to tbe boss system, we want tbe credit to go to tbe members of tbe Legislature, and the people wbo elected them, to whom alone it belongs. Punxy Spirit. And so we all say. Tbe members of the legisla ture are responsible to tbeir constituency lone, and no boss has a string on any of them If they know their business. A Real Remedy. Tbe advocates of tbe dam system to pre vent floods at Pittsburg, say tbey will not be thwarted in their efforts to educate tbe people to accepting their views and sup porting tbeir plant, by the action of the Federal engineers in disapproving of the scheme. Tbese advocates live in Pitts burg and have a fund to pay their ex penses. Tbey are prepared to destroy tbe lndutries, homes, farms snd towns long several hundred miles of tbe Alle gheny river and its tributaries to save a mall portion of tbat city Irom getting wet feel once year. The flood lug of other sections give tbese psrties material for argument but tbey are interested only in Pittsburg's troubles. Tbe fact is that tbe industries of tbat city in reaching out for more land, have encroached upon the beds of tbe rivers until they are narrow to a danger point and add to tbe b-igbt of tbe floods. Every time the rivers get low a few more feet re taken from them and this encroach ment amounts to good sia.d dam to throw watera higher upon the banks and into tbe streets. With tbe old natural channel tbedaoger would not be wholly eliminated but would be lessened. It would be cheaper in the end fur Pitta burg to move back upon high ground out of tbe flood region, Tbis would prove to be a real remedy for tbeir troubles and would not annoy tbeir neighbors. Oil City Derrick. The Figbt Against White Plague On November 18tn last the Ural meeting of tbe new board of directors of the Northwestern Anti-Tuberculosis League was held in Oil City, and on that date the society took the management of the Grand View sanatorium near tbat plane. The instituiion wm theo caring for five patients. Today, two months later, there re twenty-three patients receiving tbe benefits of this tine sanatorium. In tbe reorganization of tbe league it becomes o institution In which every man and woman in Northwestern Pennsylvania should be interested for it promises a plsce for those who. are uolortunsle enough to suffer this disease to lake cure near at home. There are now nearly seventy patients In tbe two sanatoria, all of which are being cared for at a loss to the Society of about $3.00 per week. Porkey.

Engineers of United States Army Severely Condemn Plans. Tt will be pleasing news to residents of this entire section of Pennsylvania to learn tbat the plan of tbe Pittsburg Flood Commission to build a number of dams on the upper Allegheny, tbe Clarion river and Tionesta creek for the purpose ol controlling fl.iod waters has received the severe condemnation of United States Army engineera. The Associated Press report from Washington ssys: Tbe United States Army engineers, in a report submitted to Congress Tuesdsy by Brigadier General W. H. Bixby, op pose the plsns of the Pittsburg Flood commission to harness tbe high water in the Allegheny, Monogahela and Ohio rivers and by tbe same system impound sufficient water Insecure a navigable stsge in tbe rivers during the reasons of drouth. An interesting feature of tbe report is tbe fact that private capital has under consideration the building of water power plants aloug these rivers, one mentioned in psrticular being at tbe headwaters of tbe Cheat river in West Virginia. The engineers say their Infor mation on this subject was received from confidential sources and tbey therefore cannot reveal tbe identity of tbe finan ciers Interested, the exteut to which they might invest or tbe ultimate purpose of the promoters. Tbe Investigation of tbe engineera covers tbe eutire scheme of 17 reservoirs for the three rivers, and estimated to cost 21,000,()00. While this sum is not ques tioned, there is a wide difference of opin ion aa regards tbe laod and properly damage Involved in Ibe undertaking. Tbe Flood commission estimates tbe dsmage at $7,666,100 and Ibe engineers de clare tbe sum would be at loast three limes ibst amount, or in tbe neighbor hood of 122.000,000. The general plan of building the reservoirs, their rapacity al flood time and tbe probable benefit to navigation, is gone into at length. Tbe engineera question the advisabilily of relying upon reservoirs for tbe dual purpose of harnessing tbe high waters and of supplying sufficient water to mske any perceptible effect upon tbe lower Ohio river during drouth, Tbe reser voirs in their opinion, could not be so utilized, and tbey declare that to solve both problems would require two sets of reservoirs, one lo harness Ibe Hoods and the other to furnish water supply when tbe rivers are low. Tbe utter absurdity of the Pittsburg scheme is shown in the following extract from tbe Engineera' report: "In order to be used for tbe benefit of navigation reservoirs must be kept at all times full as possible. In order to be useful to pre vent floods, reservoirs must be kept at all limes as empty as possible, so lo be ready for tbe floods when ihey occur. Tbese two uses are thus seen to be quite Incompatible, snd where reservoirs are actually used for both purposes, it will be found tbat certain amount of tbe total capacity is reserved for flood purposes snd tbe remainder ia all tbat is actually useful for navigation purposes. A Mate of atfaira which does not differ in princi ple from having one system of reser voirs for flood control and another for navigation purposes." Nebraska.

Teachers' Training Class. Tbe union Sunday School Teachers' Training Class, composed of tbe M. E, nd Presbyterian Sunday Schools of Tio nesta, baa completed the course of study laid down by Jesse Lyman Hurlburt and approved by the Pennsylvania State Ssbbalb School Association for tbe train ing of Sunday School teachers. Tbis class was organized some time ago, but some of its members appeared to grow weary in well doing and fell by the way side. Those who continued and passed all the examinations very creditably and with high grade marks are: Reuben W. Moon, Charles A. Lanson, Miss Blsncbe Mae Pease, Miss A. Lenore Ritcbey, Harry T. Klinestlverand the undersigned teacher. There were no failures and the following diploma was awarded lo each: "Pennsylvania State Sabbath School As sociation. , bsving satisfactorily com pleted Ibe course of study in the Teach ers' Training Department of the Penn sylvania State Sabbath School Associa tion, is entitled lo this Diploma. In tes timony of whicb we have hereunto affixed our signatures this S!d dsy of January, litis. H. J. lleins, President, w. u. Lsndes, General Secretary, Charles A. Oliver, Superintendent of Teachers' Training." Tbe course of study has been foond very Interesting, instructive snd profita ble. It Is beneficial to both mind and spirit and better prepares those wbo study it for lescbing and Sunday School work. There are 44 Sunday Schools re ported in tbe county ol Forest. To keep Ibe county In tbe front line, position It bat beld for the last two years, 25 per cent, or one-fourtb of the schools must have teachers' training clsssea. Eleven classes were reported last year. Each class must have at least one examination each year to qualify. Instead of one fourth of Ibe schools having teachers' training classes, every school should have one, and every teacher and every one wbo intends to teach should be In class, Tbe cry for better teacbera and more systematic work comes from all parts of the state. It is gratuitous work, bnt Ibe benefits received by tbe earnest teacher and worker, both men tally and spiritually, is good reward for tbe time and energy spent. T. F. Ritch by, Teacher.
