STATE ANI> COUNT V.
The people of Pennsylvania are con
fronted with an unusual political con
dition, this year. The name of the same
man is on the Republican, Democratic,
Prohibition and some other tickets for
the highest office in their gift—that of
Judge of the Supreme Court. He was
placed upon the Republican ticket bj
the state bosses after the revolution in
Philadelphia had begun, and not for
any love they have for him,for they had
followed him years before into his own
connty and tried to defeat him there,
bat failed to do so.
John Stewart was put on the state
ticket to pull Plummer through, his
ability and integrity were promptly
recognized by the Democratic and Pro
hibition organizations and he now heads
the tickets of all the parties in the state
that cast any great number of votes,
and will go upon the Supreme
of the state with the practically unan
imous endorsement of all its citizens—
the greatest compliment ever paid a
citizen and attorney of the state.
On the "Superior" bench there are, or
will be after January Ist next, four
vacancies; the State Constitution allows
the minority party one and they have
nominated but one; the Republicans
have nominated three; and the whole
fonr will be elected. Messrs. Rice,
Orlady and Beaver are up for re-election
and they all seem to have made accept
able Judges. Our lawyers speak of
judge Rice as being an exceptionally
able lawyer and judge
Then comes Plummer — J. Lee Plnm
mer—Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee of the House at the late
session of the Legislature and rewarded
by the gang with the party nomination
for State Treasurer for his subservience
to them. He voted for all their sneak
ing measures, last winter, including the
Salos-Grady libel bill, and the resolu
tion recalling the endorsment of Presi
dent Roosevelt's course regarding rail
roads rebates-the thing that has built
up all the great trusts of the country.
His election means a continuance of the
control of the State Treasury by the
same gang that has brought about the
disgrace and death by suicide of three
cashiers—Clark, Hopkins and Walters:
the pitiable death of Ben Haywood of
Mercer Co., and the flight from the
state of one State Treasurer.
Endorsing Plummer is indirectly con
doning robbery and murder. Can yon
There is no National issue involved in
ttiii year's election, and the use of the
Ti«m«a of Lincoln and Roosevelt to bol
ster up the cause of Plummer, *as does
our County Chairman in, his letter to
tba Committeemen is ill advised. We
all know that Lincoln would have put,
and that Roosevelt is putting the class
of men who stand behind Plummer
through the criminal courts as fast as
be can get evidence against them; and
we know that he is opposing the Pen
rose-Durham combine in Philadelphia.
The state treasurers, under whose
terms the corrupt system of trafficking—
the public moneys have grown, all se
cured office by gift from the same organ
zation. What difference will it make
whether one or three men exercise the
power, so long as the source of power is
tainted. It has been clearly shown in
the Enterprise National bank case that
the system of trading in public moneys
is not new or confined to one admin
istration, but that it is a system long
founded and practiced.
As against the flower-play now being
used upon the sensibilities of men con
tract President Roosevelt's sturdy, hon
est doctrine, viz: "If you have good
reason to believe that he is corrupt,
then refuse, under any pleas of party
expediency, under any consideration, to
refrain from smiting him with the
kg sword of the Lord and of Gideon."
As for our county ticket—Messrs. A.
M. Campbell, for Bheriff; Porter Wil
son, for Register and Recorder ; Thomas
Alexander, for Treasurer; William
Siehert and N. S. Grossman, for County
Commissioners; D. Cupps and W. B
Scott, for County Auditors; and W. S.
Patterson, for County Coroner were all
honestly and fairly nominated. No
complaint has reached us regarding any
of them; they are all competent and de
serving men, and are entitled to the
full vote of the party.
What that vote now is no one definite
ly knows by reason of the great influx
of strangers to this town, but the esti
mates of the party majority in this
county, at present, place it at up to
wards 2000. Of course Roosevelt's ma
jority over Parker, last year, was over
8000, and would probably be double
that if be were a candidate, this year,
M his popularity is phenomenal—ell
due to his doing his duty as he sees it,
Without fear or favor.
The only man on our county ticket,
not mentioned aboye is James M, Mc-
Collough. whose peculiar methods of
electioneering have developed a de
termined opposition to him personally.
An especial effort had to be made to
pall McCollough through six years ago,
and our present Connty Chairman in
making a desperate effort to do the same
now, but it is a question as to whether or
not, James M. McCollough is entitled to
»ny more favors at the hand* of the
Republicans of Butler connty.
AIJ llands Save McColiougli.
The Republicans of this town were
treated to a new and amusing game in
politics, last week. Men whobave voted
the Republican ticket nil tbeir lives, or
since the beginning of the War—now
forty-five years—and have never ignor
ed a party nominee excepting for good
and sufficient reasons were implored
and beseecbed by our County Chairman
to make proclamation of the fact by
writing and signing squibs to that ef
fect for publication.
Mr. Cjuigley visited all or nearly all
the lawyers of the town, and secured
thirty-two squibs, some of which state
that the signers intend yoting the en
tire ticket next week, and some of
which do not do so
The publication of these squibs
caused the great majority of the Re
publieana of thia town to smile—smile
at the signers and the person the effort
was intended to benefit, for it was a
confession of weakness and defeat on
his part—in ill advised movement, con
ceived in desperation; and besides thin
several of the signers had announced
their intention of voting against both
Plummer and McCollongh.
The story is that at a conference of
of James >l. McCollongh a friends, and
comparision of reports it was decided
that he was defeated, and that some
thing desperate must be done to save j
him -if possible.
Somebody suggested making this un
usual use of the County Chairman: and
Mr. Quigley agreed to the scheme ami
went to work on it. A few squibs were
3ecured, after persistent effort and soma
decided refusals; and these weie rushed
into print, and circulated over the
county.
What effect they will have in the
country is not known. In Butler they
will not change a vote, and seem to have
had the opposite effect to that expected.
Six years ago when McCollongh was
the party nominee for Prothonotarv op
position developed to him; and he was
urged then, as he was during this cam
paign, to publish an affidavit stating
that he did not call the old soldiers
"Government Paupers," but be has re
fused or neglected to do so, anif his
course in politics since has not been
such as to better his reputation.
The County Chairman of that year
told that the last hundred dollars he
spent then was ont of his own pocket,
and almost entirely in McCollongh s in
terest, who promised to reimburse him
after taking office, but neglected to do
so.
Lowry's Army Record.
The most disgusting feature of the
present local political campaign is the
fact two or more old soldiers, under the
Greer influence, are making a business
of standing about the Court House and
belittling Will Lowry's army record,
and making insinuations which can be
and have been construed into slanders.
One of the Republican candidates was
foolish enough to repeat one of these
slanders in the upper part of the county
last week and was promptly taken to
task for it.
Mr. Lowry's army record ia as fol
lows:
"Will A. Lowry enlisted as a private
in Co. H, 78th Pa. Vols., Oct. 12, 1861,
waa promoted to Corporal, Feb. 1, 1862,
bad his right hand shattered by a piece
of shell at the battle of Stone River,
Tenn., Jan. 2, 1863; waa promoted to
Lientenant Co. K, 110 th Pa. Vols, Mar.
1, 1863, and honorably discharged from
78th Beg. to accept said promotion at
Murfreesboro, Tenn., April 6, 1863.
He never missed a roll call or tnrn at
dnty from the day he enlisted nntil
wounded and sent to the hospital, Jan.
2, 1863.
Part of the company in which be was
commissioned Lientenant was organiz
ed in the vicinity of his old home and
he was personally acquainted with a
number of the officers and men, but be
fore accepting the Commission he con
sulted his Commanders, Qen. J. 8. Neg
ley, Gen. John F. Miller and Col. Win.
Sirwell, each of whom advised him to
accept. Acting on this advice and with
his discharge and commission in his
pocket, and hia arm in a sling, he took
the first train from Nashville to Wash
ington On reaching Washington he
reported at once to the late Col. John
M. Snllfvan, who was then filling a
prominent position in the War Depart
ment. Col. Sullivan at once located the
110 th Reg. at Falmouth, Va. and found
that two weeks after the date of Low
ry's commission Secretary Stanton had
ordered the HOtb to be consolidated into
four companies and all surplus officers
mustered out. This bad been done and
Lowry, through no act or fault of his
own was ont of the service. He return
ed to his home in Butler and at once
re-enlisted in the 78th Reg., but was
turned down by the examining board
on account of the crippled condition of
his hand. He made three different at
tempts to get back into the service of
his country, but in each instance was
rejected by the surgeons.
The above facts can be substantiated
under oath and by the records of the
War Department.
Mr. Lowry receives a "Goverment
Paupers" pension for wounds received
in action." A COMRADE.
"False Pretense Sharply
Ilelnikerl."
MR. EDITOR;—Last week Republican
voters of Butler county received a copy
of a local paper containing a communi
cation headed "False Pretense Sharply
Rebuked ' and signed by "A Soldier."
It speaks Of leading Republicans always
being active for the whole ticket and
ridicules the alleged new found friend
ship of another local paper for the Old
Soldier. From the tenor of the article
it is presumed that the writer is one of
these "Leading Republicans'' and there
is no doubt but that be is one of those
who last week wrote one of the publish
ed "I am a Republican" letters, pledg
ing himself to the whole ticket. After
cataloguing the good things the Repub
lican party has done, and the bad things
the Democratic party has done in Bnt
ler county since the Civil War, he winds
up the article with the following: "A
man who is a candidate at the primaries
and fails to giye the whole ticket his
hearty support violates a rnle of honor
and forfeits the right to the respect of
his party." The writer conld not have
said a thing which, by common repute,
is more applicable to himself.for during
a recent campaign, after having held
office for an extraordinarily long period
himself, he and those whom he
could control quietly voted and work
ed for the Democratic candi
date. And yet he holds himself up as
one of those leading Republicans who
are always active for the ticket, entit
led to respect, etc., and takes it upon
himself to blast those who at present
are refusing to vote for the representa
tive of a gang who in the eyes of the
people stand convicted of bank wreck
ing and mnrder, and for a local candi
date who, by his own acts and words,
has arrayed against him many Repub
licans whose party records will stand
as close scrutiny aa will "A Soldier's."
If all reports are true the Democratic
Herald ja not alone in having called the
Old Soldiers "Government paupers."
If "A Soldier's" inmoat thoughts were
exposed to view it would be seen that
it is not anxiety for the Republican
party and ticket that has aroused him
to his late violent effort, but the fact
that the only candidate on the Republi
can county ticket in danger of defeat is
bis particular friend, and "his candi
date," and thia man is the author of
thoae "pauper" chickens which are now
coming home to roost.
Yours truly,
A REPUIILICAN.
The Trend of Politic*.
(Extract from Washington Correspond
ence.)
"It looks aa though the year 1905
would a bad year for political ma
chines of whatever stripe. In tact the
movement began last year. Gov. R,
M. Lafollette smashed the Republican
machine in Wisconsin into fragments.
In Illinois Charles S. Deneen, Republi
can, won the Governorship against all
the power of tha old Reuublican regime.
In Democratic Missouri loseph W.
Folk, Democrat, the courageous connty
attorney of St. Louis, left not a trace of
the Democratic machine and Theodore
Roosevelt received its electoral vote for
President Minnesota, as surely Re
publican as Missouri had hitherto been
Democratic, gave Roosevelt 1(11,000
plural' j and elected John A. Johnson,
Demo rat, to the Governorship. Mas
sachusetts gave Roosevelt 92,000 plurali
ty and elected William L. Douglass,
Democrat, to the chief magistracy of
the State The people were supreme
last fall, voting their beliefs and not j
their partisan prejudices. j
This year all signs point to a repeti
tion of what was done last year, and
IKissibly in a more significant degree.
In the most important States of the
East, whether Democratic or Republi
can, a very large element of the voters
is arrayed against the dominant party.
It is hardly necessary to speak here
about conditions in Pennsylvania, a
State which last November gave Roose
velt the unparalled plurality of 495,000.
Iu Philadelphia and in Pittsburg, the
chief cities of the Commonwealth, con
ditions are such as mi<;ht be termed
political uncertainty, if not chaos, and
in the State at large careful observers
will not predict the election of the
Republican candidate for State Treas
urer.

POLITICAL..
An old Republican from one of the
townships volunteered the-information,
the other day, that he did not intend
voting for a certain man for the reason
that he was "too full of dirt"—and
those four words express the sum and
substance of all the opposition to the
same man today.
Promises of support in the future are
the cheapest and thinnest hooks to catch
votes with. Nine ont ten men who
promise you their support next year for
yours now intend deceiving you.
Both Republican papers of New
Castle took down the name of J. Lee
Plummer. last week, and published
editorials explaning that there is a limit
to human endurance.
The New Castle Herald (Republican)
takes down the name of J. Lee Plum
mer. and says: —
"The name of Plummer should never
have disgraced the ticket as published
in these columns, had the truth been
known. Today it is dragged down
from the mast-head and The Herald
will from this time wage a consistent
battle against his election.
"There is a great struggle in progress
in Pennsylvania this year and the de
cent element is making a mighty effort
to escape from the clutches of a machine
which has held the state offices like a
vise for years, squeezing out the tax
payers money and nsing unheard of
methods to preserve their power in the
big cities. The publisher of The Herald
feels justified in lending every assist
ance in his power to the reform move
ment and will do so without fear or fa
vor. "
WHEN we consider the real worth of
some of the public documents it is easy
to believe that the eipense of running
the Government printing office may be
reduced to the extent of a million dol
lars a year.
THIRTEEN first-class battleships will
soon be added to the United States
navy, several of which are nearly ready
to be placed in commission. There are
19 other vessels including armored
cruisers, torpedo boats, etc., nuder con
struction.
THERE is a saying that "politics
makes strange bedfellows," and another
about the "whirligig of time bringing
queer conditions." When General
James A. Beaver was a candidate for
Governor the first time he was defeated
because Judge John Stewart ran as an
independent candidate. Now Beaver
and Stewart are on the same ticket.
SUIT has been entered against W. H.
Andrews for some small paper of his
left in the Enterprise bank of Allegheny.
The Comptroller of the Currency has
levied an assessment of 100 per cent, on
the stock holders. The bank's wreck is
complete. It is said to have failed for
about $2,800,000.
It is estimated that the depositors will 1
receive ten cents on the dollar.
NICHOLAS the Second, on Monday of
this week, issued a soft of Declaration
of Independence for the Russian people,
granting them freedom of conscience,
speech, union and association; and per
mitting all men to take part in the com
ing election of a National assembly (cr
donma) which is to pass upon all liws,
no law to be enforceable without its ap
proval. The manifesto is a complete
abdication of autocratic power, and M.
Witte is authorized to carry it out.
The people are rejoicing, and the strikes

CITY CHARTER.
Extracts From Campbell's Opin
ion.
A comparison of the laws relating to
boroughs and third class cities is con
vincing that in matters most affecting
the health, safety and convenience of
the people, there is practically no dif
ference between the powers of the two
municipalities. In the main the laws
are identical, and the reason no doubt
is, that many of the boroughs exceed
ten thousand of population and their
needs are the needs of the smaller cities.
The legislature has recognized this fact
and has conferred the same necessary
powers upon boroughs and third class
cities.
Under the act of 1851, boroughs are
expressly given the power of regulating
the management of fires, purchasing en
gines and other material for extinguish
ing fires, and of establishing and pay-
I ing fire companies, and under the act of
1889. cities have the same power. The
power of one municipality is as broad as
that of the other.
As to sanitary measures, the powers
of the two municipalities are practically
identical. Boroughs, under the Act of
1851. have the power of makiug neces
sary regulations for the public health
and of abating nuisances on the high
way or on public grounds. Cities have
the same power under the Act of 1889
Both municipalities can construct sewers
at the public expense. Assessments in
boroughs can be made on property
owners on streets for sewers construct
ed therein where a majority of the
property owners petition for the sewer.
In cities such assessments can be made
without petition. The Board of HeaHh
act relating to borough is a copy of the
act relating to cities. The officers of
the Board of Health in the two munici
palities are the same, and they have the
same duties, responsibilities, powers
and prerogatives.
Both cities and boroughs have full
power to appoint and compensate police
man. In boroughs council may act di
rectly in the appointment, suspension
or dismissal of the police force, while in
cities the mayor acts with consent of
council. The city act of 1899 provides
for the duties and powers of policeman
and tEe punishment for offenses by im
prisonmsnt. In 1897 a similar act was
passed for boroughs.
Both municipalities have a like power
to furnish light and water for muni
cipal purposes and to the citizens for
compensation, and to condemn and pur
chase under condemnation proceedings
electric light or water works owned by
a private corporation. There is a pro
vision in the city charter that the right
of the city to furnish either of these
commodities shall be exclusive, but this
must be understood as referring to
cities where such works have not been
previously established by private com
panies.
In both boroughs and cities an assessor
is elected in each ward who fixes valu
ation for state and county purposes of
taxation and in boroughs his valuations
are the basis of borough and school as
sessments. In cities there is an addi
tional board of three assessors elected
by the city, who make another assess
ment for city and school purposes, and
this board may appoint assistant asses
sors and may also employ clerks if au
thorized by councils. Thy form of as
sessment required is more, elaborate
than the county assessment and involves
considerable additional expense. The
compensation all these officers is fixed
by councils. Councils also elect another
board of five persons to act as a board of
revision of taxes on appeal from the
board of assessors.
Cities are authorized to collect while
boroughs are not, license fees upon the
following occupations, the amount of
license not to exceed SIOO.OO each.
Contractors, druggists, produce or
merchandise venders merchants, con
fectioners. restaurants, billiard rooms
furniture dealers, stationers, livery
stables, insurance agents, banks, brok
ers, pawnbrokers, grocers, butchers
bowling alleys, lumber dealers, harness
dealers, jewelers, real estate agents, ex
press companies, retail liquor dealers
pay $400.00 annually for use of the city
and $120.00 for use of the borough.
Upon becoming a city we would drop
the following borough officers: Secre
tary of council, treasurer of the school
board, treasurer of the borough, three
auditors, and tax collector. We would
also acquire the following officers: City
clerk, clerk of select council, clerk of
common council, controller, city treas
urer and his collectors of taxes, number
not fixed, a board of three assessors, as
sistant assessors, number not designat
ed, clerks to board of assessors, number
not designated, five members of board
of appeals from assessments If we
should form a separate poor district, we
would also have a director of charities
and his clerks and assistants, number
not fixed. There are fifteen members
of council in the borough, each elected
for a term of three years. In the city
there would also l>e fifteen members of
council, the select council containing
five and the common council ten mem
bers. Members of council both in cities
aud boroughs are unpaid. Members of
select council are elected for a term of
four years; members of common council
for two years.
The most serious single question aris
ing from tbe proposed change to a city
relates the care of the poor. Shall we
remain in the Butler County poor dis
trict or form a district of our own? If
we become a separate district, we go
back to our old system of outdoor relief
with its largo expense and encouragn
ment of paupers aggravated as it would
be now by our new, large and improvi
dent foreign population, or we would
be compelled to establish a poor farm
and house for ourselves.
The act under which the county poor
district was formed provides in Section
20: ' When any county embraces with
in its limits an incorporated city, such
city and the territory embraced within
it shall not be included in such poor dis
trict and such city shall not be in any
way affected by this law, bat all the
other part* of such county shall in soch
cases compose the poor district of that
county "
The question involved has never been
decided by the courts and no one can
say certainly what the action of the
courts would be upon it. That the
question is a serious one I think no
lawyer will deny. Personally, lam of
the opinion the court will hold that our
incorporation as a city will remove us
from the poor district.
Cities of the third class are authorized
and empowered by the act of IWJ to
create a department for the purpose of
administering charity and for the sup
jKjrt of the poor, such department to
have the care, management, adminis
tration aud supervision of the charities,
almshouses, poor houses aud the relief
of the poor of the city, to create any of
fice nec:«sary to the management of
such department, and to levy an annual
tax not exceeding ten mills on the dol
lar for the support of the department.
By act of 100U, third class cities are
authorized to purchase property for poor
house purposes and to erect necessary
buildings. We see, therefore, that the
duty of maintaining their own poor is
thrown upon all third class cities. If
Butler should then become such a city,
its duty to care for its poor would arise
under its charter, which would be in
consistent with the theory that it re
main in the county poor district.
I have no late list of the boroughs and
cities of the state before me but the list
existing at the time the last census,
that of 1000, was taken, shows sixteen
boroughs and seven cities with popu- j
lation between ten and twenty thousand
inhabitants aud three cities and two
boroughs with between twenty and
thirty thousand imputation each. At
least two of these cities were incorporat
ed under special acts of Assembly and
they throw no light on the question
whether a city charter has been con
sidered a good thing to work under.
We have a number of small cities work
intc under special charters.
Upon the whole, it being shown that
the two municipalities have practically
the same powers, the difference be
tween the two charters is this: In cities
councils are for the most part merely a
legislative body, the executive depart
ments being conducted by paid agents.
In boroughs council, in addition to
being a legislative body as in the city
may themselves do the work or have it
done nnder their immediate supervision.
If necessary, however, they may em
ploy superintendents or other officials to
do the work for them and pay them for
it. The borough charter gives council
all Decessary authority to employ and
compensate officers for doing the work
to be done uuder the powers conferred.

CART* IN Z 71,
Thar WfM a Cmih •< W»b<lm La
tk* llfhtnaU Ceatarr.
In Scotland at the beginning of the
eighteenth century produce wai car
ried in sacks ou horseback er on
sledgt-s, or—later In the cemtury—on
tumbrels, which were sledges on "tum
bling" wheels of solid wood with wood
en axletrees, all revolving together.
These machines were often so small
that In a narrow passage tha carter
could lift them bodily, for they held
little more than a wheelbarrow. They
bad wheels a foot and a half In diam
eter, made of three piecea of wood
pinned together like a butter firkin
and which quickly wore out and be
came uttorly shapeless, so that a load
of COO pounds was enormoua for the
dwarfish animals to drag. Yet even
such vehicles were triumphs of civili
zation when they came Into use when
the century was young.
Carts are a later Invention still, and
when one, In 1723, flrat carried Its tiny
load of coals from Eaat Kilbride to
Cambuslaug, "crowds of people," It la
reported, "went to see the wonderful
machine. They looked with surprise
and returned with astonishment." In
many parts of the lowlands they wore
not In ordinary use, even till 1700,
while in the northern districts sledged
or creels on the backs of women were
chiefly employed to the end of the cen
tury. The wretched condition of the
roads was the chief cause of the re
luctant adoption of carta.
In the driest weather the road a were
unfit for carriages and In wet weather
almost Impassable, even for horses—
deep In ruts of mire, covered with
atones, winding up heights and down
hills to avoid swamps and bogs. It
was this precarious stato of the roads
which obliged Judges to rido on cir
cuit, and a practice began aa a phyalc
al necessity was retained as n dignified
habit, so that In 1744 Ivord Dun re
signed his judgeship because he was
no longer able to "rido on circuit."—

LIFE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
No Hfinalm Whatever «f Grecian
Domeatle Ar*hlt««tare.
Of the domestic architecture of the
Greeks nothing whatever remains,
writes Jean Schoepfer In the Archi
tectural Record Magazine. In ancient
Greece private houses never had any
architectural interest. A cltlaen of
Athens or Sparta was too buey with
state affairs to spend much time at
home. lie wanted to be in the public
place where he could find hla friends
and fellow citizens. Moreover, the
climate allowed him to live In the open
air during the greater part of tlie year.
It was ou the agora that the citizens
assembled lu public meeting. It was
there, front a rostruoi, that the era tar a
harangued the crowd; heave the seed
of a good voice and a clear enuncia
tion; hence, too, the famous pebbles of
Demosthenes. It was In the opeu air
that Socratea and the sophists held
their discussions alongside the Ilyseus,
under the plane trees or on a public
place. It was In tha academy gardens
that Plato patronized and lu open air
gymnasiums that the youths practiced
tholr athletic games. There was no
ralson d'etre for a domestic architec
ture with such n people and In such a
climate. It Is not necessary to have
palatial administrative buildings for
governing a people that live In the pub
lic places. Besides, what significance
would the term comfort, which Is so
full of meaning to us twentieth cen
tury westerns, living In cold, damp cli
mates where fog, wind and rain pre
vail during half the year—what sense,
we ask, would this word have for the
robust Greeks of the fifth century B. C.,
whose children Aristopliano* pictures
to us on their way to school barehead
ed, lu spite of tho falling vnuw, and
Hinging as they go?
Took tlip I.fiat (timixr.
An old Scotch jfraredtgger was re
monstrated witlj one day at a funeral
for making a serious overcharge for
digging a grave.
"Well, ye sec, sir," said the old man,
In explanation, making a motion with
his thumb toward the grave, "him and
mo had a bit o' a tlft twa or three
years syuo owre a braw watch 1 welt
him, an' I've never been able to get
the money out o' him yet. 'Now,' says
I to myself, 'this is my last chauce,
and I'd better tak' It." "

As Jesus was being led captive ftotn
