Gertrude Hoke, Teacher. To Abolish the Office. There is talk of introducing a hill at the present session of the legislature to abolish the office of associate judge. The advo cates of the measure claim the judicial districts have been cut down now so that the president judge can well take care of all the business, and there is no longer any need for associate judges. Last year they cost the state some $26,000 for twenty counties, and while this is not a large sum, the abu-e of the functions of the associate judge in granting licen ses over the head of the president judge, the overruling of the pres ident judge in granting or refus ing new trials, regardless of the merits of the case, are matters that some times causo the courts of justice to be regarded a courts of injustice. Associate judges have a vote on all such questions, and as there are two, they can overrule the president judge. One of the advocates of the re peal measure is George W. Wag- enseller, editor of the Middle- burg Post, of Snyder county, who says: "The un wise and unjust rulings of associate judges have brought the courts into disrepute and en gender a disrespect for judicial authority that can be effaced on ly by the abolishment of the of fice. If only men of dignity and honor would aspire and attain to these positions, there would be little occasion to regret the, exist ence 5t secondary judicial honors t frequently occurs that associ ate judges are men of profane and intemperate habits. I have learn ed of one or two counties in the state where the associate judges were and are a source ot dignity to the court and a credit to the judicial toga, but beyond that they performed no function that could not have been performed better and at a great deal less e pense by the clerk of the courts." As far as Fulton county is con cerned, the character of our as sociate Judges is beyond re proach. The Trans-State Highway. Thf propoapd pyHic highway uc'ow llm ot,;ilt, from I'lnii. dol phin via MsrrrHlnirg U I'itw'jur.i.', is being considerably discussed throughout the State and an ef fort will be made to have the Legislature pass a bill daring the present session appropriating funds for the building of the road. The Legislature of course will be asked to appropriate sums of money for various purposes such as public schools, public roads, hospitals and other institutions throughout the State, which will exhaust the State's resources, and no doubt many of cur law makers will differ in opinions as to the best and most practical way to provide funds for the buildii g of the proposed public highway across the State. Some say tax coal. Others say to ad vance the tax on corporations. Some Loo will insist on an incom tax while still others will suggest different methods.' The best, and in our judgment the only proper way to build the road, would be to issue a series of bonds maturing in fifteen or twenty yearr, a certain amount falling due each year. These bonds can be floated at a very low rate of interest, and therefore, not in any way interfere with the present svstem of taxation. Make the appropriation for the build ing of the road. Make the mon eys secure the right of way, and when all is in readiness, let the entire road be built. Let thirty or more different contractors take hold, build a stretch twelve or more miles long each. In this way the entire road could be built within one year from date of starting. Let the road be built and as speedily as possible. Mount Union Times. BUY THE T BACK RUN.

Fve States already have statutes endeavoring to prevent marriage betwren those whose condition renders a union unwise. Some of these laws" forbid a marriage license without a doctor's certifi cate of sound health. The bill introduced by Repre sentative H. A. MClung at Har risburg prohibiting marriage to those with tuberculosis, epilepsy and other hereditary diseases has precedent. It moves in the right direction. The State and the family, the public and the indi vidual, are alike interested in sale marriages between sound men and women. But the appropriate restriction is not with reference to "heredi tary" diseases, but "transmissi ble" diseases. A disease may be "transmissible" either by de scent or by contact. Tuberculo sis, it is almost certain, is not hereditary; but it is now certain that it is infectious by contact. Epilepsy is probably hereditary, but is not communicable by con tact. "Transmissible" covers both these cases. It applies both to maladies which are contagious or infectious and to those which are hereditary. The law should re cognize this peril, and no license to marry should be issued to those known to have "transmissible" diseases. The Press. mm i 1 1 w i' Didn't Suit Washington. Until the early part of the last century Milford, Conn., had a house hi which Washington was said to have spent a night. It was in 178U, when Washington made a tour of New-England. Tradi tion says that there were csrtain things about bis stay at the Mil ford tavern which he dii not en joy. The supper set before him consisted of boiled meat and po tatoes. He was not pleased with the meal and asked tor a bowl of bread and milk. The landlord brought the new order and a brok en pewter spoon with which to eat it. "Have you no better spools than this V" asked General Wash ington. "It's the best I have in the house, sir," replied the host. "Send me the servant," said his excellency. "Here's 2 shill ings. Go to the minister's and borrow a silver spoon." Tradition does not add whether he got the spoon or net Exchange. THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD The Greatest Newspaper of Its Type.
