Russia the greatest liquor con suming country on earth is a wakening to the evil, and is plac ing restrictions on the sale of the stuff. In our own country it is beginning to cost the liquor peo ple so much to defend their busi ness that many are getting out of it. Path Valley, like this county, has a long way to go to reach a railroad, but the hustling people of that place now enjoy the ser vice of two auto-bus lines which, in some respects, are superior to the trolly, as the busses can go out of the way to stop at any door. Getting tired of a bad stretch of road, the farmers near Pitman New Jersey, offered their teams to haul the gravel, if the town would furnish the gravel and la bor to make the road good. The offer was accepted, and the road is now good, and no one misses the small loss. Neither in Bedford nor in Mif flin county have there been a sin gle application for liquor license.

The five o'clock, a. m. hack could not get out of this place for Mercersburg, no trains arrived at the latter place until late in the afternoon Saturday; and, consequently, we received no mail from the east until near ly night. That class of citizens who cheerfully get up and go to the barn at five o'clock these zero mornings are the ones whose o pinions should be respected when making out the lists of candida tes to fill offices of public trust; they are the "We, the people" when the question is sifted down to brass tacks.

Chiilfunt In "Amerloun Is ui'"-(inl lit drirui, lvuii-yl vuuiit A nil Siilouii J.citKiio It is a settled fact that our Democratic brcthern are getting in shape for a battle royal be tween this and May 19th to de termine who shall be their can didate for governor. Several months ago announcements were made that Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia would be a candidate, and a vigorous campaign has been launched on his behalf. Numerous other Democrats had been suggested to compete with Mr. Ryan for the honor, when very suddenly and unexpectedly the announcement came that his opponent would be Vance C. Mc Cormick of Ilarrisburg. Now, within a few days after that an nouncement, there is a great flurry among that portion of the Democrats who advocate booze. The cause of the.; turmoil seems to be the advent of this man Mc Cormick into the race. The brewers and their allies make seven allegations against the aforesaid McCormick, and in addition to that, they utter a few other words that Uncle Sam does not permit us to publish in a pa per which goes through the mails. The seven indictments against McCormick may be stated briefly as follows: 1. As executor of an estate, he controls the "Commonwealth," a dry hotel at Ilarrisburg, and that city's most popular hostelry. The charge against McCormick is that he refuses to lease the hotel without a clause in the ar ticle of agreements preventing the lessor from applying for li cense or dispensing booze an any way on the hotel property. 2. McCormick served one term as Mayor of Ilarrisburg. He promised the people, if elected, that he .would put the lid on and hold it tight. He kept his prom ise. The liquor and gambling devotees were dead sore on him, but he was relentless and sat on the lid to tlit closing hour of his administration. 15. McCormick is proprietor of the "Patriot." the most widely read Democratic daily in the state outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburg. For many years, the 'Tatriot" has through its editori al columns persistently advocated local option and other laws by which the people would be given greater power in the control and overthrow of the liquor business. 4. The Patriot refuses to ac cept or publish liquor advertise ments. 5. In the campaign of 1010, McCormick refused to support tho Democratic nominee, Web ster Grimm, because he had been nominated at the behest of Pen rose, Mulvihill, GufTey, Hall, Mc- Nichol, Brcnnan, and other no torious bi-partisan liquor gangs ters. McCormick threw his per sonal influence and that of his paper to Berry, the local option candidate. C. McCormick then led off in a fight to reorganize the Democrat ic Party and eliminate the old bi-partisan liquor bunch. This fight was successful, and left GulFey, Brennan, Hall, Mulvi hill, and all their ilk out in the cold. 7. The liquorites find it ynpos sible to "deal" with McCormick. They don't mind a scrap occas ionally with a fellow who will afterwards "deal" .and make some concessions, but whether right or not, they seem to have the conviction that Vance Mc Cormick would be a real govern or. Taking all these facts into con sideration, having found that the indictments herein charged are true, and fearing the election of McCormick if he be nominated, the liquor interests have decided to stake their future on the hope of winning a battle under the leadership of Michael J. Ryan. Miilott-Kellner. A quiet wedding took place on Wednesday, February tth, at the homo of tho ofliciating clergy man, 11 jv. A G. B. Powers, l n Needmore, when ho united in marriage Mr. Frank I.
