POLITICAL. \\T E an' authorized to nnnoumr the W name of ANDREW .1. STEINMAX as candidate for the office of < 'ount.v Treasurer, subject to the rulesand decisions of the Demo cratic primaries. — IT is to be hoped that all this talk about plans for balloon races and aeroplanes and airships and all that sort of thing is not mere airy persi flage. The sky pilots are surely not merely gassing about their gas bags, and it is hoped that all these plans for exploring the vasty deeps above us will not go up iu smoke. — THE Do-Things-Diflerent man is the winner just now. He is iu de mand. People want new things or want old things done iu a new way. They insist on having things "differ ent." All of which means progress. The soldier of industry who wins the battle today must bo the soldier who really marches, not the fellow who simply marks time. — WHY does Chicago go so far a field looking for facts'! 11 is because she doesn't want to find them ? The medical experts are trying to saddle all the blame for the epidemic of con tagious diseases that is just now af flicting the city on the harmless, nec essary cow, claiming that milk is responsible for ravages of scarlet fever and other diseases. How silly, when the Chicago river is so offensively iu evidence. — IN another column we lake pleas ure in printing a pension bill, the author of which is Hon. J. Henry Cochran, of this Senatorial Distrist, which, we are sure, will meet with the approval of the masses of this Commonwealth. It is generally con ceeded that due appreciation is not given the old and deserving veteran, who so gallantly seveie 1 the bands of bondage and made this a truly free country. Mr. Cochran is a man of liberal heart and hand, and believes that a great State like Pennsylvania should contribute to the support and comfort of those who helped to protect and advance the interests of which is now the greatest State in the Union. The only fault we can find with the bill is the rate, which, we think would not be too much if it was even doubled, for the good old soldiers and sailors of the Civil War are fast fight ing their last great fight, and a little comfort or even a little luxury, in the shades of a (.nee worthy life will cheer and appeal to the Great Conqueror of Bight and Justice, and cause His smiling countenance and best admoni tions to follow such a worthy and prosperous people as those of Penn sylvania. -— WE wouldn't for a minute say anything against the greatness of St. Louis, but there is no disputing the fact that she is up against the real thing now. The World's Pair was all right, and there is no doubt that the balloon races will add to the glory and renown of the grand old town, but we rise to remark that the man who is looking for a short cut to fame lias the opportunity of his life right now in the chance afforded him of fol lowing in the foot-steps of the Duke of Argyle. We all know that all over Scotland, yes and ail over Eng land, too, from Lands cud to John o* Croat's, "God bless the Duke of Argyle" is heard every time a man scratches his back, and all on account of his scratching post. That's the idea—scratching posts. The man who puts up scratching posts in and about St. Louis will write his name 011 the scroll of fame in letters that all the world will read in after years. The doctors tell us gravely that the old town is to be afflicted with an epidemic of itch. That means that the Mound City will have to let upon all this talk about future greatness, financial stability, and all that sort of thing—stop talking about the things that are going to be done and come right up to the scratch. — ANOTHER chapter of current his tory, another incident from the record of every day life, in refutation of the threadbare liction that woman is not resourceful in time of emergency. This time the story comes from Great er New ork—from Riverside Drive—where dwell the millionaires and the multi-millionaires, in man sions so grand that princes and po tentates from the Old World sit up and take notice when they see them for the first time. The lady's name is Ethel—nice name that, but hardly calculated to inspire thoughts of hero ism; nor was it any particularly heroic deed this young lady perform ed; at least, she never saw anything especially heroic in it; it was all a matter of course with her. It was the right tiling to do and s|ie did it—just like a woman. Like Abou ben Ad hem of poetic renown, .Miss Ethel llolman "awoke one night from a deep dream of peace," and possibly Eastar bonnets, and smeled smoke. Now smoke is uo joke in the dead of night, when you don't know just where it comes from, and everybody else in the house is asleep. Apprecia tive of this fact, .Miss Ethel took a miff or two as she sat up in her her', just to satisfy herself tliut she was uot still dreaming, ami then she arose and slipped 011 a kimona over her robe du nuit —that's the kiml they wear on Riverside Drive—and stepped quietly out into the hall to do the work she instinctly knew had been given her to do. She knew the house was on fire the minute she emerged from her chamber, and saw the volume of smoke. Did she throw a pair of cost ly vases out of the third story win dow, and rescue a pair of feather pil lows by rushing down two flights of stairs with them tightly clasped in hep arms, as some men would have done—as many men have done—un der similar circumstances? Did she let out a series of wild shrieks, and then fall in a faint, as story writers so often have their heroines do? Not she. Neither nor nary. She glided swiftly along the hall to the room where her parents were sleeping, and she rapped on their door until she knew she had them awake. Then she ran up stairs to the uext story, where her little brother and sister, scarcely more than babes in arms, were sleeping in the nursery, and arousing the nurse, she bade her awake the other servants, while she herself took the sleeping little ones in her arms, and in less time than it takes to fully realize what a very sen sible young woman she was, even if her father is a millionaire, and her mother a grande dame, devoted to society, she had the entire family safely outside the burning mansion, anil the lire department fighting the flames. Not much of an act, of course, but it serves to show that a woman, even a society belle, can and does do the right thing at the right time, notwithstanding the silly tales of tradition.

Corey, the local letter writ- ' ter, whose epistles are usually chock j full of denunciation and rebuke, has ! changed his style lo that of biting | sarcasm. lie has recently written to ' linn. Elliott Rodgt •rs, of Allegheny, ! severely scoring him, in a left hand- j ed manner for his bill to increase | salaries of office holders. The letter j follows: Pittsburg, Jan. 24, 1907. Hon. Elliott It. Rodgers, Senate - Chamber, Harrisburg, Pa.: j My I).;:ir» Sir; — It is possible that a representative of our Iron City and Western Penn sylvania, the successor of such dis- [ tinguished statesmen, as Robert Mack | C. L. Mngee, and the ilhistrious pa- ' t riot from Beaver county, whose de velopment of the art of shaking the "Plum Tree," made his portrait in the judgment of the chief architect and cousin, 11. Samuel Pennypacker, a necessity in the artistic fiuisii of our 813,000,000 slate capitol. I say it cannot be possible that our highly honored representative, and successor of these distinguished patriots will fasten a stigma on our county, and a stain upon the records of the states men of Pennsylvania by offering to have such a picayune bill as that of yours increasing the salaries of our judges to only §IO,OOO and the dis trict attorney to $12,000 a year. My j dear, Mr. Rodgers did you not stop to i think that such a manifest lack on your part of appreciating the oppor- ! (unities and arising to the dignity of the occasion will foiever preclude the ' hope of your becoming a distinguished statesman. No ! No ! Mr. Rodg ers, your pencurious bill, if passed, j will endanger our stales title; to be- | ing the Keystone state, in our glorious i union of freebooters. - It is not too ' late, let me entreat you to amend your bill by increasing the district at torney's salary to $25,000 and judges to 820,000. This increase in salaries will add to the dignity of the positions and create a necessity for a greater ! number of assistants as well as to ad mit of increasing of the assistant's salaries—who will have the greater portion of the work to perform—to 810,000 and 812,000. Then again ! there is a bill creating only 10 com-j missioners at a salary of B*, ooo, ! whose duty is to relieve our district I attorney's and court judges from the [ necessity of protecting us against be- i ing swallowed up by the Standard Oil j company, and Pennsylvania railroad , 'monopoly. These trusts by develop ing the minerals, oil, and gas under our Keystone state's hills and moun tains, have greatly added to the value ; of the farms and have contributed to j the health, comfort, and welfare of I the poor, in furnishing cheaper light, I and heat in their homes, and cheaper mode of travel to those who cannot afford automobiles. There is also the greater danger from the milk trust, href, anil sugar combines, which the allies of our statesmen, the public press have rung the changes on until the masses of our people reallv fuel i that their greatest benefactors have become their gr< a test enemies. Now, Mr. Rodgers, if you stop to think, you will see that your failing to take advantr. _'e of the work your allies, the public press have accom- \ plished in preparing the way for you j to add greatly to the number of our | official plutocracy and doubling up their salaries, you have failed to arise to the dignity of the occasion. You have not fully realized the im portance of Teddy and Andy's reform of the English spelling book. The word, Democracy of government of, | by, and for the people, no longer oc cupies ifs former place in our political vocabulary. Then again you know with the great number of legal petti foggers fastened upon the Allegheny county bar to say nothing of the great number of legal quacks that such gmnll towns n« Rnnver.

Read this to the senate members. I am dear sir, very suspiciously yours J. Is. COREY. Convict Ilcf?lmcnta. At tlie beginning of the eighteenth century the British army had a bad reputation at home, and It was very difficult to got recruits for it. For tills reason It was officially proposed to find the men by an impressment falling on "any sturdy beggar, fortune toller ov the like idlo, unknown, suspected fel low iu the parish; or, if there be none ; such, then any 0110 that has already 1 been in a gaol or before a justice of the peace for his idle, disorderly life." The advice was acted upon. Debtors were 1 released from prison on promising to Join the army or the navy, criminals were pardoned on the same terms, and persons with no visible means of sub sistence were marched off to death and : glory. The system worked out better j than might have been expected. In the ' peninsular war, for instance, three new regiments were composed entirely of I convicts, and one made for itself an il lustrious name.

On Friday evening, February first, Camp No. 6470, Modern Woodmen of America, of Liverpool, Pa., held its sixth annual banquet at the .Owens House in that town. About fifty Woodmen and their friends surrounded the festive board, and joined in the celebration of one of the annual events of that prosperous and noble order. It was shortly after eight o'clock when the repast was served, and a bountiful and varied feast it was—one that any hotel may be proud to spread aud one that would make the eyes of any epicure dance with delight—one that ouly a Mitchell cau serve and oae that a Shuler can truly relish. After the fenst and t lie inm rman's craving perfectly satisfied, Prof. 1). A Kline, as toast master, began to treat us with another feast for our edification, in his witty sayings and introduc tions of speakers. A number very entertainingly responded, among which were 11. E. Ritter of the local camp, and Rev. Jos. E. Guv, of Dan ville. A very delightful evening was spent. Manv of the order, (a number being listed as speakers), were absent on account of sickness, but, notwith standing, this banquet was one of the best held in Liverpool, and bears great credit to that flourish ing little town. This order is strongest in the West, but is fast gaining in the East. Most all the surround ing towns aud cities have camps, but Danville has been skipped in some manner. It is a frater nal organization, and one that any town can be proud of. It cannot be established in this city too soon. The Modern Woodmen of America is an or ganization of only twenty-two years establishment but its membership reaches 850,000, and repre | sents the best morals and physical attainments of citizenship. It has paid out over 350,000,000 for the relief of its members and families. No other society has given so much fraternity to its members and so much humanity to the world as this exalted order. Those present from this city were Rev. Jos. E. Guy mid wife and IJ. Aust Lutz and wife. —STATKBMEX of large and smali caliber, molders qf public opinion, and a lot of people generally in various parts of the country, appear to be concerning themselves unnecessarily as to the future of Theodore Roosevelt.
