/ AND GLANCES AT THE TIMES.
—Mrs. 11. W. Osier, of Bern ice,
was a pleasant caller on Laporte
friends Tuesday.
—'Squire H. P. Hall, of Sones
town, was doing business at Laporte
Tuesday.
—Not having the time to give the
o.'ttce proper attention if elected, A.
E. Tripp has withdrawn his name
from the union ticket as constable.
—Mrs. Louise Barrows and daugh
ter Miss Olive, have returned home
from an extended visit with friends
in New York and Philadelphia.
—Miss Mollie W'rede is recovering
from her illness with diphtheria.
No other case has yet developed in
this community.
—Leo Wrede, who was last week
quarantined at Hughesville with
symptoms of diphtheria, has been
released and is at home recovering
from the effects of a bad cold.
—J. \V. Rogers, Esq., of Forks
ville, was a county seat visitor Tues
day, and kindly remembered the
News Item with his usual advance
payment on subscription.
—Ex-Prothonotary Win. J. Law
rence, one of the most genial and
good natured men who now visits
the county seat, was here Tuesday
and did a little business at the seat
of justice.
—Laporte suffered one of the cold
est and most piercing wind storms
Sunday night that this section ever
encountered. The snow that fell
during the day was drifted fence
high and travel along thoroughfares
was almost impossible on Monday.
■—The Ladies' Aid Society of the
M. E. church is making arrang
ments to hold a ''Sock Social" in the
near future. Invitations will be
sent by mail explaining the nature
of the social and its purpose. The
date will be given in next week's
issue of the News Item.
—Miss Eva Lawrence returned to
her home Tuesday, after several
days visit with Miss Eliza Shaut at
this place. The school at Ricketts
which Miss Lawrence is teaching
has been temporarily closed on ac
count of measles.
—Chas. Coleman who suffered an
attack of appendicitis several days
ago and had about passed the danger
ous point was taken with a sudden
sinking spell Tuesday, due from the
heart. By the use of strong stimu
lants he rallied from his very low I
condition and rested comfortably
Tuesday night. Dr. B. E. Gamble
and Rev. J. A. Enright were special
ly called to his bedside on Tuesday.
Drs. C. D. Voorhees and Rose Mor
gan have given the case the best of
medical attention and his friends yet
have hopes for his recovery.
—The persons who favor giving
up the Phillipines had better say
now all they have to say, for the
longer they wait the more mala
propos will be their remarks. It
must be remembered that the im
provements reported by Governor
Taft, were made while the Islands
were practically dead, and the open
ing of the Islands to the building of
railroads and to commercial enter
prise will make the fire of industry
replace the flames of insurrection
and brigandage.
—A monograph has just been is
sued by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, that shows the most mar
vellous growths of this country with

entitled ,'The Growth of the United
States in Its Material Industries."
and points out the increase in pro
duction, in commerce and in wealth.
Among the most notable things to
which it calls attention, are the large
increase of money in circulation, of
deposits in savings banks, and of
the number of depositors.

Scouten's Herald, which is noth
ing if not Slanderous, attacks the
Jury Commissioners and President
Judge in this manner:
"During Judge Sittser's ten years' ser
vice upon the bench of this county lie
never once participated in tilling the .jury
wheel. He entrusted the work to the
jury commissioners, who are required by
law to represent each political party. The
result was that the jury drawn during
his term was about equally divided politi
cally. A courthouse is not the place to
reward henchmen and political hucksters.
A prominent Machine politician of J'Jk
land townthip (whose name we reserve
through sympathy for him) displeased at
the way one ot' his neighbors voted at
last fall's election, sarcastically remarked
to the neighbor a short time since: 'We
will follow you to the jury box." The
expression would seem to indicate that
the politician refered to has, or thinks
he has, a grip somewhere on the machin
ery ot justice. Though outrageous, his
declaration is significant."
By act of April 10 18t>7, I*. Digest,
page 1107, it is made the duty of
I the Jury Commissioners and l'resi
i dent Judge, "to select, alternately,
' from the whole qualified electors of
| the county, at large, a number, such
a at the term of Court of Com -
mon Pleas next preceding shall l>y
said Court be designated, of solwr,
intelligent and judicious persons, to
serve as jurors in the several courts
of such county during tlie year."
Whether Judge Sittser performed
his duty in this respect, or not, is
immaterial. It is a fact that Judge
Ell well, who was on the Bench
when this act was passed, set the ex
ample, and, at much inconvenience
to himself, met with the jury Com
missioners and selected jurors alter
nately with them. The Judge who
fails to do this neglects Ins duty.
It is not true that "Jury Commiss
ioners are required by law to repre
sent each political party." Ibe
Judge and Jury Commissioners are
alike bound by act of Assembly,
and by their oath, to select "from
the whole qualified electors of the
county at large, the requisite num
ber of sober, intelligent and judic
ious persons to serve as jurors.
Political considerations have no
weight.
The insinuations of the Heralu,
that the Judge and Jury Commiss
ioners make the jury wheel a place
" to reward henchmen and political
hucksters," is not true. The list as
selected for the year is recorded on
the jury book, which is a public
record. An examination of the
whole number will show that the
jnrors have been impartially select
ed according to law, and that no
henchmen or political hucksters an'
among them.
