THE INTELLIGENCER, Danville, Pa.
Wisconsin Republicans seem resolved to put an end
tot heir Quarks.
Addicks is unhappy. He has bought the people of
D_* aware lour times but can't get the goods delivered.
Senator Spooner quietly weeps into his handkerchief
ai he concedes that Wisconsin undoubtedly went for Lin
c > :i Steffens.
Folk, as Governor of Missouri, will show brilliant
g ;iius if he gets any of his reforms through a belligerent
Republican legislature.
The New York Tribune says there is a fly in the
1 Vlaware ointment. Addicks resents this and says it is
t'.e first time he was ever called a fly.
_
The election of W. L. Douglas, Democrat, to be
Governor of Massachusetts in a Republican stronghold
s ems to prove that it pays to advertise.
Governor La Follette says the Republican party
o ight togo for measures not men. Well, if Spooner isn't
e cactly a measure, isn't Pack a measure ?
The fight for the reduction of Congressional represen
tation from the South now seems to begin. Perhaps it
will silence the clang of battte in the Orient.
It is proposed to pass a 840,000,000 river and harbor
I) II at the coming short session of Congress. Such a gen
e.'ous poultice will heal a good many sore heads and broken
hearts.
The New \ ork World vouches for the statement that
the Democratic managers of the campaign had more than
s? 1 ,500,000, besides individual gifts. Mr. Taggart spirit
edly denies it.
A New York dispatch says that President Roosevelt,
home to vote, "unos-tentatiously entered a cross-town
ftreel-ear." If he should enter one ostentatiously, it
might be worth a notice.
The election of twenty-one Republican Congressmen
from the South indicates that perhaps even in that quarter
there are other issues besides, "Would you invite Booker
Wuhington to lunch?"
"God lifted him and made him a man of destiny'
said Rev. Mr. Radclifle of Washington, speaking of the
President, and the utterance was not at all influenced by
the circum»tance that Dr. Radclifle has several relatives iu
ottio*.
About forty prominent Republicans of Wisconsin
have telegraphed the President. "If the nation cannot
get along without having Spooner for Attorney-General,
appoint him immediately, by all means. Never mind how
much wc suffer!"
If the Republican National Committee has, as claim
ed, a surplus of 8400,000 from its campaign fund, it can
afford to reimburse the treasury for those 8500 dispatches
sent from Manila by Governor Wright for campaign am
munition. Can't it ?
The St. Louis Exposition has not yet closed its gates,
but away out in Oregon they are putting the finishing
touches on the buildings for another exposition to open on
June 1 next. At this rate it will not be long before this
country will have an exposition on hand all the time.
The message which comes from Rome is: "The Pope
congratulates President Roosevelt on the splendid returns."
The Pope is certainly entitled to his own opinion, but
Democrats and Republicans will be sure to agree that
concerning this matter he would show much better taste
ly keeping nis opinion to himself.
The President on Friday evening invited to dine with
John Morley Messrs. Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, and John Mitchell, Presi
dent of the United Mine NVorkcrsof America. They were
both in San Francisco for the mouth, but that fact has no
more to do with the invitation than the flowers that bloom
in the spring, tra-la!
If Judge Parker and Col. Bryan are the going men,
the coming men seem to be Joseph W. Folk of Missouri
and William L. Douglas of Massachusetts, two Demo
crats elected governors in states that gave 100,000 major
ity for Roosevelt. Their relative leadership depends on
the question whether socialism or official corruption is to
be the slogan for 1908.
There are no times in life when opportunity, the
chance to be and to do, gathers so richly about the soul as
when it has to Buffer. Then everything depends on
whether the man turns to the lower or the higher helps.
If he resorts to mere expedients and tricks, the opportun
ity is lost. lie conies out no richer or greater—nay, he
comes out harder, poorer, smaller for his pain. But if he
turns to God the hour of suffering is the turning point of
his life.
' The •lection of Mr. Douglas, shoemaker, as Gover
nor of Massachusetts on a platform of tariff revision and
reciprocity with Canada seems to have stirred the Rep ub
lioans all up, and they now earnestly declare that they
are going to cut down the tariff just as soon as they can
get at it, an'' never had any other idea in their heads.
Perhaps the Democratic party, like Samson, will be able
to slay more Philistines in its defeat than it was able to
dispose of during the years of its victories.
r President Roosevelt declares that he will not be a
candidate for the office again. This is wise and doubtless
sincere. But is not the spirit of this pledge violated when
he affirms that Mr. Hoot is his candidate for his successor
and that he will appoint nobody to his Cabinet except the
champions of Mr. Root? If it is not safe and wise for a
president to accept a third term, because he would be
tempted to use the machinery of his office to secure such
renomination, is it any safer or more patriotic to use his
office to secure the success of a friend ? To prostitute the
highest office in the gift of the American people to effect
the election of a particular individual is about as danger
ous a thing as a president can undertake.
"JBefore Judge Auten at the North
umberland couuty Court House, Mon
day , was lea appeal of Coal town
ship citizens from the assessments la-t
laid. Those who appealed are private
citizens who claim their property is
v.ilued too high and the consequent
taxes are exorbitant in comparison
wlth'other parts of the county aud
taxes in former years. The appeal to
Court is the outcome of tho organiza
tion of a taxpayers association. One
hundred aud eighty Coal township
citizens appeared at the appeal. Ow
ing to the attornoys interested not
beiug ablo to remain in court the ap
peal was continued.
I OUR SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY. I
THE INTELLIGENCER today enters on its seventy-sixth jjj?
£3 year of its existence. During the last two years, under its present
management, it has greatly multiplied in circulation and interest Sg
and is now practically the only Democratic paper in the county, and P3
(y figures with the best in this section of the State. This is the best £&
m testimonial to our claim that THE INTELLIGENCER covers
the local field for news better than any other local paper does or ever £«}
£pjj has and that it gives the residents of Danville and the surrounding fp
country the principal events of the whole country more accurately gS
and completely than any other paper circulated here dees or can. fcf?
That this is appreciated by the public is atteste-l by the fact that
THE INTELLIGENCER'S circulation is greater now than at any jga
other period of its history and that its business is more prosper- Is
P 'lu politics THE INTELLIGENCER will be Democratic, rep-1|
presenting the highest principles and best traditions of that paity,
but endlessly fiee from control of any political faction or of any
£0 power, corporation or individual, which conflicts with the public S3
Iy4 good. It will be devoted to the interest of Danville and of its people, jc2
(Sand will labor to advance their welfare. It will not only gather the £3
news of the world, but it will publish the local events in the lives of
our city and its citizens, which are proper to be known and remem- £§
bered. It will be fair and juet to all men, whether in oi out of office,
and to all public measures and movements, and in its comments up- n)
'on them it will print the fact and tell the truth. It will always jg}
unite with its newspaper contemporaies and all good citizens to in<- Fti
crease the prosperity of our city and to make secure its honor, its gg
peace and its happiness. &
The same are today, were yesterday and ever will be the guiding JfR
principles of THE INTELLIGENCER. What has been accom-
plished in pursuance thereof cannot be exaggerated nor belittled. It g5 i
has bteeu written on the face of the paper each week and is known to
It is proper to say, on this our seventy-sixth anniversary, that >£•
while the success of the paper, within the last two years, has been £3
greater than was anticipated and the support of the public has been ©
most gratifying, it is the purpose of the publisher not only to main- 2#
tain the standard that it lias set but to constantly improve in all its jB
departments. M
THE RESTLESS RICH AND OTHER.
In sneering at the benevolence that is set on
foot "to satisfy the whim and caprice of the rest
less rich, v Mr. Cleveland is doing scant justice to a
class of helpless unfortunates.
The restless rich must have means of amuse
ment like the rest of us. If thoy are too restless
they lack the patience to fish. Their legs and their
lungs are seldom strong enough to permit the hunt
ing of big game, which is one of Mr. Roosevelt's
ways *of dissipating superfluous energy. So there
is nothing left for them but golf and benevolence.
When Mr. Cleveland yearns for recreation he
packs up his rod and reel and sets forth in company
with a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and some con
genial friend. But Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Rocke
feller cannot fish. Consequently when that vague
longing to "do something elso'' comes over them,
the former endows another public library and the
latter gives another million to the University of
Chicago.
There is no disputing about tastes. Mr. Car
negie may derive quite as much innocent pleasure
from endowing a library as Mr. Cleveland obtains
from hooking a five-pound black bass or construct
ing a sentence with 117 words.
ENVIRONMENT AND THE BOY.
By means of a boy whom ho took almost from
the gutter and educated into truth and a conscience
a Chicago man has cleared from a charge of murder
a prisoner who is tho boy's own father.
This seems to prove that environment is a
stronger force than heredity. But then one remem
bers that Prof. Frederick Starr, also of Chicago,
took in and educated a boy of the streets who re
warded him by disappearing with the professor's
spoons.
Human nature can always bo depended upon to
furnish at least one problem to offset another which
seems to have been solved. The question of the rel
ative influence of heredity and environment in the
formation of character and the development of
special ability is still open for debate.
DIVORCE AS A NECESSITY.
The Rev. Dr. Hodge, of Boston, has expressed
the belief that divorce is necessary and "many
times a Christian blessing." To try to annul it is,
in his opinion, much such a hopeful and helpful en
deavor as to attempt to"put a lid on Vesuvius."
Dr. Hodge's views strike me as very rational. It
is not divorce for petty causes for which the Doctor
stands. He would not grant a separation because
of a small quarrel at the breakfast table. But when
the happiness or usefulness of a man or woman is
imperilled he would sunder without hesitation the
links binding the evil to the good. It is encourag
ing to find a clergyman so far emancipated from the
worship of a "sacred" fetish.
The Morinous in Utah, Idaho and AVyoming, men
and women, stood nobly—or ignobly, just as you may
view it—by the Republican National ticket. It has been
charged that an understanding was had between the Mor
mon church and the Republican leaders to the effect that
if the States of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming cast their elec
toral vote for Roosevelt the Mormon Senator from Utah,
Reed Smoot, would not be busted. It is not reported that
the committee of the United States Senate appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Smoot will not continue its
inquiry. However this may be the public will watch the
conduct of that committee with profound interest.
They have already begun the discussion in Washing
ton as to where the next Inaugural Ball shall be held.
Congress passed a law prohibiting the use of the Pension
Office for that purpose without its consent, and that prob
ably will not be given. The business of a great bureau of
the Government should not be stopped for several days in
order to permit a few persons who can afford to pay $5 a
ticket the opportunity to dance. The ball should be held
somewhere else than in the Pension Building.
Senator Fairbanks says "When the American people
think, their judgements are always righteous." And of
course they always think when they indorse him.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16. —While being
arraigned in court today Charles Shyok
a saloon keeper, fired a revolvor sever
al times at his wife aud child and then
committed suicide. The child wan
wounded, but not seriously. Dming
the shooting Mrs. Shyck fell uuoon
scious and was thought to have boon
killed. When the woman revived her
husband lay dead, and the court room
was in wild coufusion. The chargo on
which Shyck was being tried related
to a family disturbance.
What city has a climate so peculiar
it has been described as "nine months
hibernal and three mouths inferual ?"

Carlyle, whose guesses at truth were
more accurate thau those of mcst men,
said : "The fraction of life can be in
creased iu value, not so muoh by in
creasing your numerator, as by lessen
ing your denominator." And the value
of your advertising appropriation may
ho incroased, not so much by iucreas
■ ing the number of mediums used, as
by increasing the space used iu good
mediums.
Ouo of the moat successful rabbit
huntors in this part of the State is
Miss Auua Euver, of Look Haven. A
few days ago she returned from a hunt
iu East Nittauy Valley with a dozen
tine iat rabbits wliioh she had shot.
ARE AMERICANS POLITE P
(Froiu Good Housekeeping )
A discussion has been raging in the
London press on the question, Does
politeness pay? Correspondents point
out that not onlv have the ancient
courtly ways fallen into disuse, but
that even the commonest courtesy of
daily life is fast becoming unfashion
able. Perhaps the most novel argu
ment advanced was (hat the Ameri
can nation, ''notoriously the most
impolite In the world," has managed
to forge to the front in business and
statesmanship, and has thereby
demonstrated that politeness does
not pay, while Spain, with its court
eous grandness, and France, famous
for politeness, arc not such notice
able examples of success among the
nations.
Apart from the discussion of the
question, which hardly deserves to be
taken seriously, the pungent criticism
of the American nation furnishes food
for reflection. Aro we less polite
than our neighbors ? asks Robert
Webster Jones In the October House
keeper. Outwardly, yes. It must be
admitted that most of us have been
too busy settling a new country and
striving for bare existence to put the
utmost degree of polish of which we
are capable upon our manners. In
Englaud the conductor of the omni
bus says ''Thank you" as he receives
the fare. In France the gendarme on
the street corner is the personification
of courtesy as he answers the
stranger's inquiries. No such ex
amples of politeness are furnished by
public servants in this country. In
the native courtesy that springs from
the heart we yield to none, but our
manners sometimes afford room for
criticism.
But we are learning fast, and,
really, '-most impolite in the world"
is putting it a little too strongly.
Granting that we aro already tirst
'■in business and statesmanship,"
may we not hope some day to attain
equal precedence in courtesy and
come to be known as the "most
polite nation in the world ?"
The oldest voter in the United
States, Patrick Jerwin, who is 107
years old and resides at Seward,
Westmoreland County, Pa., voted for
Parker and Davis. His first ballot
was cast for Andrew Jackson in 1825,
and he has voted for every Democra
tic presidential candidate siuce.a total
of 21. Only twice In all the 79 years
of voting has he scratched his ticket,
and both timos it was for personal
friends. He has always been a
staunch partisan and takes tho same
interest in casting his ballot to-day as
lie did wheu he cast his first vote.

Special Correspondence of The Intelligencer. J
There Is a natural curiosity in De
Witt's Park, on t'other side the river,
of which but few Danville people
know anything about. On the left
hand side of the road leading from
the gate to the park stands a sugar
maple tree with huge limbs reaching
above the variegated colored leaves
which were recently changed by Jack
Frost to crimson, gold and red. Be
tween these boughs a sprout of sev
eral years' growth has long been im
bedding itself- into the opposite tree,
giving the phenomena much the ap
pearance of the tlesby part that bound
together the once famous Siamese
twins. When you go pic nicking to
that favorite resort some time next
summer, stop a moment and admire
God's handwork.
The Philadelphia &, Reading rail
road which passes through Danville
appears to be doing the largest freight
business at this time—coal and lum
ber being the principal commodities.
There is scarcely a day in the year,
even Sundays, when not less than
eight or ten heavy trains roll through
this city en route to the Bea board.
The last startling report of the road,
in October, gives the number of loco
motives at 927 and 24,129 coal cars,
with a capacity of from 20 to 60 tons
each. Besides the excellent freight
service the system is noted and quite
popular for its elegantly equipped
trains from Philadelphia to New
York City, which leave both termin
als ever hour, from 7a. m.to 7p.
m. during week.
Since old Bibles are becoming pop
ular in Riverside and Danville, we ie
fer to one [recently brought to light
' on the corner of Mahoning aud Fetry
streets. It was printed by Thomas
Baskett, printer to the king of Eng
land, and by the assignees of Robert
Baskett, iu London, in the year 1761,
The volume is, therefore, 143 years
old, and Is especially valuable for its
associations,having been hauded down
from the late James Woodside, father
of the late Mrs. Valentine Best, and
is now the property of her daughter,
Mrs. Ellen Best Eggert.
Many of our lady readers would, no
doubt, be delighted to see the hand
> some log cabin quilt recently con
' structed by Mrs. Ephraim K. Hale,
residing on West Mahoning street.
! The spread is 2J yds. long by 1] yds.
' wide. The patient lady was six years
: in cutting the patches, sewing aud
- quilting the gaudy-colored fabric.
i It required 58 spools of thread, (200
yards in each spool,) to complete the
1 long and weary task. The material
i used was of the finest velvet and silk,
1 making a picture equal to many high
ly-colored paintings.
