Once upon a time, a man lived in Butler, who would not pay his debts, though he had plenty of money. He was a riddle to the people, who won dered at his meanness, and he was a great friend of a certain Judge who bragged that there were only three Bills in the town against him. But a man who knew better spoke up and said he knew of a sixty dollar gro cery Bill against him, and another said he knew of a forty dollar livery Bill against,him—both ten years old. And people wondered what the Judge had been doing with the SI,OOO he had been receiving from the state every three months for ten years. FRIENDS of Greer located in various parts of the county, have lately asserted that if Galbreath is nominated, the next . judge of- Butler county will be a Dem ocrat. The only possible inference is that the Greer supporters are going to flop and help the Democrats if their man is defeated at the primaries. Should Be Honest The man who sits on the Bench and tells juries what the law of the state is, and often controls their verdict by his "charge," should himself be an honest man—the taint of dishonor or corrupt ion .in him lessens the respect of all for the whole machinery of the law and breeds lawlessness. He, himself, should be an example of good citizenship. The Judge should be a good lawyer, a man in whose learning and judgment the Bar has confidence—haphazard de cisions, or indecision, make trouble. Look at the tremendous trouble and ex pense the people of Parker township have been put to during the past few years, and they do not know today, "where they are at," from a legal standpoint. Practical politicians and professional office seekers should be excluded from the Bench Such men take advantage of the position to reward their friends and punish their enemies as opportunity presents, whereas all should stand alike before the law, and besides this they are. as a rule, poor lawyers. Persistent libertines should be ex cluded from the Bench, what greater absurdity oonld be imagined than a man fitting on the Bench and sentenc ing other men for crimes of which he, himself is persistently guilty, and what worse example to the youth of the com munity. SOME people say they are for Greer, because he has made a good judge. The people of Parker township should scat ter over the county and tell their ex perience with him. Political Judges Some time ago we heard one of the ablest members of the Butler Bar de plore the condition of the Judiciary of this state on account of the number of professional politicians who have se cured positions on the Bench. These men, as a rule, are poor lawyers, and are at all times more interested in keep ing themselves in office, than in their duty to the public. The lawyers who practice before them doubt their law, and hence the number of cases that find their way to the Superior and Supreme Courts—a very expensive proceeding for litigants The people of this state should make an earnest effort to rid themselves of these leeches, and begin now. A Card To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF BUTLER COUNTY: Sometime ago I had prepared what I supposed was a complete list of all the Republican candidates, for the different offices, to be voted for June 7 prox. This list was sent out with my tickets to dif ferent parts of the county for the con venience of the voters. To-day my attention was called to the fact that the names of Eli J. Moore of Muddycreek twp. and James L Patterson of Jefferson twp., candidates for County Commissioner, were not on the list. This was an inadvertence and unintentional omission, I am sure, al though Ido not yet know who is to blame I publish this correction early for fear that said list might mislead gome voters. J. D. MCJUNKIN. May 28, 1902. Butler, Pa. [Greer's Superior Court Record. As everybody knows, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania was established in 1895. Since that date this Court has considered 1946 cases, excluding those , from Butler county, reported in 18 vol umes. Of the number of cases consid j ered 1405 were affirmed and 541 were ' reversed. The percentage of cases re versed is 27J per cent. In other words about one case in evefry four is the aver age number of reversals for each Judge. Of the total number of cases consid sidered by this Court, 83 in all, were Butler county cases, tried by Judge John M. Greer. Of this number 16 were affirmed and 17 were reversed. In 1 other words more than one-half, or 51 i ! per cent, of the cases, were reversed. Judge Greer had three years of exper ience before the Superior Court was or ganized.

This Court record is called forth in answer to claims made by some that Greer had a good Superior Court rec cord. The above speaks for itself. It shows that he is 23J per cent, below the average. If he were marked as the school children of our county are mark ed when they are examined he would have answered only per cent, of the questions correctly, and whereas the average Judge in the state of Pennsyl vania would have a mark of 72J per cent. Law Governing Primary Election As a good deal of doubt and uncer tainty exists among the voters as to the right to vote at the nominating or primary elections, I have been request ed to give the law on the subject. Article 8, of the Constitution of Penn sylvania, prescribes the "qualifications of electors." Section 1. '"Every male citizen twenty-one years of age, pos sessing the following qualifications, shall be entitled to a vote at all elec tions." Elrat. He shall have been a citizen of the United States at least one month. Second. He shall have resided in the State one year immediately prected ing the election, &c., &c. . , Third. He shall have resided in the election district where he shall. offer to vote, at least two months immediately preceeding the election. Fourth. If twenty-two years old, or upwards, he shall have paid within two years a State or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least two months, and paid at least one month before the election. This is fundamental law, imbedded in the Constitution itself, and cannot be abridged or taken away by any Act of the Legislature, or party rules. It will be observed tuat the Constitu tion uses the words "entitled to vote at all elections." "All elections" means and embraces nominating conventions or primary elections. The Act of 29th June, 1881, makes it the duty of the judges, inspectors and clerks, or other officers of primary elec tions, meetings or caucuses to be sworn to impartially and faithfully perform their duties, in accordance with the laws and constitution, and anyone act ing in such capacity, before subscribing to the oath, or affirmation required by this Act. shall, on conviction, be fined not exceeding two hundred dollars; or if any judge or inspector shall knowing ly reject the vote of any person entitled to yote, or shall knowingly receive the vote of any person not qualified, he shall, on conviction, be fined two hun dred dollars, &c. The Act of Bth of June, 1881, P. L.. 70, 4th Sec., reads as follows: 'lf any person not qualified to vote at general election, shall vote at a nominating elec tion held by any political party or if any person shall procure any such disquali fied person to vote, or if any pireou shall vote at more than one election dis trict. or if any person shall advise or procure an other so to do, he or 'he.v shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction, shall be fined the sum of two-hundred dollars, and imprisoned for a term not exceeding 3 months." The two acts referred to were passed to prevent fraud and bribery, and thev must be carried out to effect the pur pose of the enactment. The general in tent of these two acts was to put the rights of the voters in party or primary election under the protection of the law, in the same manner that rights of voters at annual elections have always been under such protection. Commonwealth vs. Young, 16th Su perior Court, 317. Cantwell vs. Ridgw&y, 18 Philadel phia , 519. These are therefore held to IKS elec tion laws, within the meaniog of the constitution. The time, places, and modes of hold ing such primary elections and the qualifications of the voters are regulated by the rules of the party. Democrats are not allowed to yote at Republican primaries. Neither are Republicans allowed to vote at Democratic primar ies. To this extent, each party can fix the qualification of the voters. To sum up the law, it comes to this: That no person has a right to vote at any primary election, who would not haye a right to vote at a general elec tion, and iu; must be in the district where he offer* to vote at least sixty days, if a single man; but if a married man. sixty days in the .district would not entitle him to vote at a primary election, if his family lived elsewhere. Neither would a minor be allowed to vote at a primary election, though be might be twenty-one on the next day after the primary. Such being the law, let the voter be are that he does not subject himself to the penalty of the law, as well as the person who solicits his vote. * BLACKSTONE. Amusing. Its amusing to think of how many of the jurors went home from attendance on our recent sessions of Court, having received the assurance of his honor(?>, the Judge, that he would see to it that they would soon be back on the jury again. Many of them smiled as they thought of it afterwards. ONE OF THEM. A Judicial Outrage. MR. EDITOR:— About ten months ago Win. C. Findley, a member of the But ler Bar, was boarding at the Nijcon Home, and Jas O'Donnell was also a boarder at the same place. The latter made insulting remarks to the inmates of the house, and insnlted Mr. Findley. and continued to insult him from time to time, until the 12th of March, when he met Mr. Findley on Main St .Butler. Here he renewed his insulting language and threatened him, saying that when he caught him off Main street he would fix him, etc. Mr. Findley feeling that he was not safe when his adversary was at large and unrestrained, made information against him before Esq. McElvain. and he gave bail for his appearance at Court. This was returned to Court for final hearing. On Saturday, the '34 th, the hearing was held before Judge Greer. Mr. Findley testified to the repeated insults he had received from the defendant, and to the threats made. In his state ment he was coroborated by several witnesses. The defendant made little so far as testimony was concerned. Nev ertheless Judge Greer discharged the defendant and ordered that Mr. Find ley pay the cost. All within hearing of the Judge were surprised, regarding it as practically putting a premium on lawlessness and disorder. The only explanation is that Mr. Findley had not been supporting the Judge in his aspirations to be his own successor. OBSERVER. WASHINGTON' NOTES. The bronze statue to Count Rochaui beau, the commander of the French fleet during Revolutionary times, was dedicated with appropriate ceremonits list Saturday. Lord Julian Paunceforte, ambassador from Great Britian to the United States, died at his home in Washington last Saturday morning, of asthma and rheumatism.

POLITICAL. M. N. Greer refused to be qualified to the statement that he offered us for publication, last week. At the Republican Co. Convention of Elk Co., Motday, two Elkin men were selected as delegates; in the Fayette Co.

April 18th, accompanied by the killing or maiming of 5.000 people. A man who was in Guatemala at the time of the disturbance, whose coffee plantation is only a few miles out from Quezaltenango, was a passenger on the City of Para which arrived at San Fran cisco last Saturday. In speaking of the earthquake, he said: "It came about 8:15 o'clock in the evening. I was out on open ground and had great dffiicult.v in keeping tny feet. The greatest damage w« at Quezaltenango and the city was practi cally destroyed. All the buildings thfit were left standing are cracked and fhakv. They will have to be pulled down.
