Forksville, Pa- CELEBRATE THE FOURTH AT LAPORTE. Many of the church goers have begun to take their annual vaca tions. Count that day lost whose low decendiiig sun sees on thy part no noble fly swats done. Wouldn't it have been terrible if Queen Mary had had a big safety *" » : *l.„ Kortlr A Chicago woman wishes to get rid of her husband whom she won on a bet. Moral : Never bet. The Fourth of July task seems easy compared with Chicago's at tempt to have a safe and sane aero meet. Now that the sane Fourth is well established, someone should Btart a safe and sane millinery movement. If England were the United States it would have its coronation on March 4, thereby risking pneu monia missing a lot of fun. Someone says there are just as many germs on a dollar bill as on a fly ; well we generally swat the dollar bill too whenever we see one. Iron and steel manufacturers are to meet in Belgium and discuss a world wide agreement for making prices stable, but not necessarily lower. About every time the Democrats do something that seems to them sensible, they find they have dis pleased their three-times presi dential candidate. We do not think that a "safe and sane" Fourth is absolutely necessary in Laporte, but the youngsters should be instructed to be careful how they use matches and lire-works. Next week the News Item force will take its semi-annual vacation. It has not been decided yet wheth er we will fill our pockets with worms and go capture some of the biggest trout you ever heard of — at least they will be the biggest when we report—ror whether we will buy some cheese, crackers and an umbrella and just simply camp and gorge ourselves with rich foods. At any rates we have decided to stay in America. Vacation does not mean picking type and smear ing ink so of course there will be ] no paper next week, and until we meet again we say aw 1 reservoir. AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON. CURRENT NEWS OF THE WEEK AND EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE IN WHICH PENNSYLVANIA FIGURES. Speoial to the News Item. During the speech of Represen tative Moore of Pennsylvania lie called attention to the policy of the Republican party, which he stated, according to his under standing "has always been to build up and encourage industries and to keep the wheels turning so that both capital and labor may be pro fitably employed." He asserted that it could not be charged that the Republican party had ever stood for the development of for eign industries and the production of manufactured articles, "in order that the deficiencies in revenues might be covered at the custom houses of the United States, which, in the present instance, is exactly what the Democratic party through the spokesman in its caucus proposes to do." The al lusion to the caucus was well understood as the whole Demo cratic plan of legislation is first settled in caucus, after which the necessary legislation of the House is purely functionary. Mr. Moore didn't attempt to untangle the intri cacies of the wool problem, but he made a speech and introduced evidence into his remarks which served to strengthen the Republi can position in reference to the wool schedule. Senator Ten rose remarked that the condition in the Senate is "a remarkable situation. That the Senate, which in my fifteen years of experience here has never run out of a flow of oratory, now seems to face the dearth of this com modity." He referred to the failure of a number of Senators favoring reciprocity to discuss the measure. Several senators an nounced that they were prej tared to speak on Canadian reciprocity, but did not propose to do so until they heard the argument against the measure. Representative Griest, who has made quite a study pertaining to the transportation of the mail, and who is the author of one of the bills providing for a form of par cels post, has recently supplement ed his bills by introducing one authorizing travel allowance to railway postal clerks, and also a bill to authorize the Postmaster General to transfer, or detail rail way postal clerks certain clerical positions. About two weeks ago the Wash ington newspaper correspondents discovered that there was a big split in the ranks of the progress ive Republicans. The latest de velopment among the scribes is that every breach has beeu healed and that La Follette will be the nonjinee for the Presidency and carry his campaign into every state in the Union, There is a good deal of guess work in all this, but the inference to be drawn is that the Wisconsin Senator is engaged in sounding the country, and upon the result.,. it may be safely predicted, will depend his future course. Everything seems to indicate that the Taft Adminis tration is growing stronger with the public every day, and while there is more or less talk of op position, the best informed politi cal leaders are inclined to think that this will all disappear months before the the real campaign of 1912 is under way. The Democratic wool bill which passed the House has furnished the long desired opportunity for effecting an alliance between the Democrats and the progressive Republicans in the Senate. Wash ington has been throughly startled by the new turn in affairs, and it is being predicted that the present session of Congress will dip deeply into the tariff, and general revision not among the unexpected things. The opponents of the Canadian reciprocity measure have seized upon the wool bill as a means of amending reciprocity in such a way as to defeat the entire Administration program, and thereby invite a veto to the Can adian agreement from President Taft. The Senate Committee >ll Privi leges and Elections has reported one of the most drastic bills cover ing the subject of campaign pub licity that has ever appeared in Congress. The Senate bill differs from that of the House, inasmuch as it includes full publicity for all expenses in the primaries as well as in elections. Speech of J. A. McSparran At Pomona Grange Meeting. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and ( Jen tlemen : As I look in your faces tonight it gives me great pleasure to. speak to you. I am going to speak on the great legislative question, and the election of Leg islative officers, and when I am through, I don't think any of you can tell what my political party is. When you elect a Legislator, elect one that will work for your interest., because it is just like this, whatever you putin you will get the same out. When you are choosing a Legislator look at his logical views and you will greatly benefited In taxation, the real estate is taxed about 18 mills. A few years ago the taxes were 16 mills, we have have had about 18 years of politics since, and you can see how much we have been benefited. We should have equal taxation, and to have equal taxation, we should ask the candidates, not what their party is, but what their logical views. All the large R. R., Gas, Electric, Oil, and Sugar trusts can accumlate wealth, because there is no equalization of taxes. When your representative gets into the Legislative Halls and assumes his right to work for the farmers' in terest. tliev point the finger of Bcorn at him, and none of us like that, and he is afraid to claim his rights. We wonder sometimes why we cannot keep the children on the farm. When the Pennsylvania R. R. was being built they paid men $3.50 per day, the farmer could not pay it, so had togo without his help. They tell us we don't have enough literature on our sitting room table, nothing to attract our boys and girls. It is because we do not get enough for our product to make the farm pay, they can goto the city and work less hours for more money than we can afford to pay. We have been living under a high tariff for about thirty years, and we have not been benefited any. If the farmer could not receive more than 20c a bushel for his wheat he could not hold for better prices, he must sell. If the manu facturer has a surplus of his pro ducts on hand and prices go down he shuts down his works and waits until the price warrants his pro ducing his goods, but the farmer cannot do this. We have to com pete with the markets of the world, y the price of wheat drops half a cent in Liverpool it drops 1-2 cent in Chicago. The Parcel Post is now effective in 43 countries, but the U. S. is not one of these. England can send a package to New York and across the U. 8. to San Francisco for 25c, if we want to send the same package from New York to Cal., it would cost us $1.65. The ruling express companies are the Adams, U. S., Southern ami Wells Fargo. .In conclusion I will say be careful whom you elect to the Legislature for you get out just what you put in. Some Egg.

While working near Eagles Mere last Saturday morning, Edward Yeagle, aged 23 years, of Wheel - erville came to an untimely death from a falling tree which crushed his skull. The young man was working with other men near Mineral Spring who had just cut down a large tree. In falling this tree struck and dislodged a dead branch of an adjoiuing tree which fell up on Yeagle crushing his skull. He was immediately hurried to the Williamsport hospital but died forty-five minutes after arriving there. The body was prepared for burial and fowarded to Wheeler ville on Sunday afternoon. "I Suffered Years With My Back." Backache resulting from weak kidneys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in per manent disability. "I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improve ment in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health."
