Republican News Item. ,THURSDAY, SEP. 19, 1901. COLUMBIA MOURNS. Our country has been appalled as it has not been since the attempt lip on the life of President Garfield, in 1881, by the news of the death of President McKinley who fell a vic ti'ii to a similar dastardly outrage. A ; with Lincoln and Garfield, so now tae assassin's bullet strikes down but t" lift its victim to the nobler level i.f universal appreciation. Against tin* dark clouds the radiant virtues < C a lofty character shines across the world. The blow was aimed not at fie man McKinley, but at the Pres ident. Thus the third time the high honors of the Chief Magistracy, ten (l red by American Citizens, led to the vicarious martyr crown. Let us now cause these sacrifices to cease. It is a nation's duty to protect the individual hea of tin' government. The only ex ilanation < 112 such outrage seems to be hat there is disease prevalent in the land and that yellow journalism is the deadly germ that poisons the minds of the v -ak. Stamp it out. Let the States enact unifo"m statutes prohibiting the yellow journal and punishing the preaching of murder. We submit further that the Constitution be so amended as to include criminal and yellow journalism attacks on the person and character of the President of the United States in the list of treasonable offenses, punishable by death.

J., last week, where he has accepted a paying position. —II. A. Kemp has opened up his photograph gallery next door to Post Office. —Our Republican candidates are making very satisfactory impress ions on the people. How could it be otherwise? Miss Harriet Grimm, of this place left on Friday last for Miles burg, Center county, Pa., where she will teach school. —On account of the Citizens Me morial Service to be held in the Court House, Thursday evening, there will be no religious service in the M. E. church on that date. —Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Brewster and daughter Alice, and Mrs. Esther Gregory and son Frederick, left on Friday for their home in the Nation al Capital.

Also at Eagles Mere at 7:.'JO. —The Forksville fair will be held on Oct. 2, 3, and I, IDOL The ru mor circulated that there would be no fair at Forksville, is groundless. O. N. Molyneux, secretary of the Agricultural Society, so informs the press and says the fair will be held on the dates as advertised. —Otis Mills, formerly of this place met witli a very sad accident while working in the lumber woods in Potter county, last week. lie had the misfortune of crushing his between two logs, which made it necessary to remove him to the Williamsport Hospital where the limb below the knee. —ln accordance with the procla mation of the President of the IT. S., Hon. Theodore Uoosvelt, a memo rial rervice in honor of our Martyred President, Hon. Win. McKinley, will lx* held by the citizens of La porte, in the courthouse, Thursday evening, Sept. 111, at 7::J0. Prof. F. W. Mcylert will have charge of the music. The devotional part of the service will be conducted by the lie vs. Bidlack and Bradford* Ad dresses on "Our Martyred President" will be delivered by The Bev. Otlio Brant and E. J. Mullen, Esq. The public is most cordially invited to at tend the above exercises. —II. A. Kemp, photographer, is taking large orders. Join the rush. The convention which unanimous ly nominated JOHN 1). RKESER for Associate Judge, NELSON Cox for Sheriff and JAMES C. DEININCIER for Prothonotary was composed of sound minded, independent, repre sentative men froth every part of the county. The allegation of the self constituted democratic boss that these men were controled in their action by two or three men is simply ridiculous. There never wa« afa i or convention held in this county nd the people are well pleased with he Republican nominees. —A very fitting service was 1 'ld at the M. E. ('lunch Sunday ever .ig. Rev. Bidlack allowed his word, to follow to follow the thoughts iat run with the hearts of his eongr< ?a tion and preached and prayed on he one subject that absorbs (lie chie 112 at tention of the world. The pi:'pit was draped in black, over which hung the bright hues of the nati. n's emblem bearing a picture of our l.ite President Wm. McKinley. Striking sentences punctured the able sermon which thoroughly denounced the wickedness of the yellow journal) -111 in our land. The sermon at the Baptist church was an able tribute to the country's irretrievable loss. Misrepresentation will not succeed in the election campaign. Seouten's Herald makes a labored effort to show that James C. Dcininger is not a citizen of this c«, .lty; and this in the face of plain facts known to hundreds in Davidson and Laporto townships. "So far as we know," says Scouten, "he has kept right on voting up to the present time, but where he paid his taxes and the amount does not appear." As if he could vote without paying taxes ! Perhaps he does not pay as much tax as the man who owns three or four hotels, but it is no disgrace to be poor. The Yellow Journal. The deplorable tragedy at Buffalo has led to wide and deep denuncia tion of Anarchists and that which has warmed it, fed it and fostered it yellow journalism. Now, what is a "yellow journal'."' It is one that disregards the dignity of the position of the chief executive of the nation and holds the occupant up to ridicule and often revilenient. It does not stop here, it is politically yellow, it attacks the character of all public officials, it matters not how well and faithfully the strive to perform their duty. There is a journal recently started in I inshore, the Herald, which was launched upon the boundless sea of journalism for the sole purpose, ac cording to the oath of a reputiable citizen, to ruin an Associate Judge of our Court. The course of that paper from the second issue proved its mission. It hounded the Hon. Conrad Kraus with abuse and ridicule and appeals to unreason, until his death, a year or so later. It has ever since continued to attack the character of reputa le men in public life and fiirthermoi ', without seek ing for the truth, tl o broadest alle gations designed ti injure private character aiui reduce to a low point moral reputation of respectable men. The public has regarded these infer nal reproaches with indifference. Mere curiosity to see who are victims and how shamefully they are attack ed has increased circulation and add ed to its support. The yellow journals will exist, flourish and multiply, just so long as the public will support them. Giv ing support to such papers simply to see who is abused is a poor, feeble ex cuse. The sowers of violence upon character will do well to be glad that others reap what they sow. They will do well to suspend their sowing of it lest their own be returned un to them some day with usury. —The Rev. Otlio Brant will preach Memorial Sermons on "Our Martyr ed President," in Bobbins school House, Nordmont, Wednesday evening Sept. 18, at 7::io p. in.and in Muijcy Valley, Friday evening at 7:M. All are cordially invited to ajteixl these services. St. John Protestant Episcopal church. Kith Sunday after Trinity. Color for alter and vestments, green. The Rev, Otlio Brant, I). I).

AH are cordially in vited to be present. "The cigar factory played out"— so sayeth the Herald. Mr. Dein inger in company with M. W. Bots ford established a cigar factory at Nordmont; they employed eight or nine men, and Mr. Deininger work ed with them for eighteen months. The business was closed honestly with no debts unpaid. The "cun ning boy," as Ncouten calls him, de serves credit, and not ridicule, for his vigorous ell'ort to establish a per manent business. Scouten's newspaper says, "John I). Reeser has no knowledge what ever of legal affairs, having spent his life in selling dry goods and groceries at the big store." Truly John 1). Reeser does not profess to be a lawyer, but he knows too much about justice to advise a man to take out ten su' poenas and summon a hui - dred unnecessary witnesses merely to make a big bill of costs in a little suit before a justice of the peace. It is now in order for Mr. Scouten to state when and how HIS candidate "obtained the knowledge of legal affairs," which makes him more competent than John 1). Reeser is for a judge. Whence comes the hostility of Scouten's newspaper to William J. Lawrence? lie is not a candidate for office, and desires no profit in any way shape or manner from the pending election; and yet Scouten attacks him savagely. "Hilly" Lawrence, he declares, "built a court house at a sound price which is now about ready to tumble down, and is not content with the profits." What has this to do with politics at this time? Mr. Lawrence is about to re tire from the office which he has so ably tilled for six years, with the in tention of resuming his business as carpenter and builder. Does Mr. Scouten suppose lie can thus destroy the well earned reputation as an honorable man and efficient builder? it seems that Mr. Scouten's experi ence with Conrad Kraus, and the libel suit, has taught him nothing. In the hall of the courthouse there is a marble slab fastened to the wall with names as follows: John 11. Farrell, Gabriel Lit/.elman, John J. Webster, Commissioners; John E. Gallagher, Clerk; Wagner A- liiglit mire, Architect; Lawrence Bros. Builders. if (he courthouse is about to tumble down as Scouten's Herald alleges, who is fo blame? The Commissioners paid the archi tects well for making the plan and superintending the work. Lawrence Brothers were strictly bound by a written contract; the commissioners examined the building and paid the builders. Will anybody believe that Johy 11. Farrell, Gabriel Lit/.- elman and John J. Webster were so ignorant or unfaithful to the county as to take a poor job off the hands of the builders ? Let Scouten prove his allegation that the courthouse is about to tumble down, and we will then discuss the subject farther.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. There can be no question about It, the sensational newspapers must share in the responsibility for the President's assassination. They may squirm and hiss, hiding their shame In editorial comments and cartoons of a sympathetic character, but at last they 6tand exposed before the world of the terrible sin of having encouraged law lessness and murder by deliberate misrepresentation and vicious exag geration,—New Haven Register, NORTHAMEHICAN MUST ANSWER The Philadelphia North Amorlcan must answer the grave charge of aid ing and abetting Anarchy, the direct cause of the attempt on President Mc- Kinley's life. In the early part of Sep tember last, this Journal Induced Rai ma Goldman, the high priestess of anarchy, to come tp Philadelphia *nd address a meeting there, tt Is said the representatives of this paper smug gled the woman into a secret meeting, where she made her address. In ad dition, they used the refusal of the police to permit Anarchy to be preach ed as a moans of viciously attacking the majrpr and cfty administration, claiming the woman had the right tq speak anywhere. The attempted assassin of the Pres ident confesses that his act was in spired by the Inflammatory speeches !>f this woman. In the upholding of her hideous cause, The North Ameri can cannot bt»t more or less re sponsible for the fruits of her ef forts. The foarful results attained are Oil a line with the intemi».?rate, vi cious and untrustworthy character of this journal's teachings.
