Harry Thaw Escapes From Matteawan.
Harry K. Thaw, who had been in the limelight for some years,
is again before the world. He did not do such a very bad thing for
an insane man after all. His escape was bold and sensational and
while the two governors of New York apparently making efforts to
get him back to the state. The report is that he has been captured
in Canada. That should prove one of the most interesting inter-
national cases to extradite him that the world has known, but in
these hard times it ought to help the New York lawyers some.
Harry has been rather an expensive boy for the Thaw family. Per-
haps the wisest and best thing the New York authorities could do,
would be to lose Thaw entirely, and spare the world of again fam-
iliarizing 1tself with the missdeeds of a reckless, rich and spoiled
Fs
' young man.
. Our Officers.
The burgess question is beginning to to take some form. Three
candidates so far are announced in the few remaining days, the
probability is that others will be presented. =~ What are the Demo-
crats, Socialists, Prohibitionists and others doing abont the impor-
tant office ? But let the people be mindful of the fact that the
council, the school board, and various other offices to be filled.
There is no office so insignificient that it should not call forth a good
man to fill it.
The practical politics of the day is to get the best men avail-
able to fill our cfices. That touches every citizen and aside from
the view of party politics. The best men are needed from the low-
est office to the highest office and it is most creditable for any man
to serve his community.
- Mexico in Turmoil.
The Mexican situation has been almost to the breaking point
during the last few days. The best sentiment of the United States
has only good wishes for the neighboring republic, but Huerta holds
his position under a cloud and the death of his predecessor was
under very suspicious circumstances, and for Huerta to be arrogant
and insulting is not the way for him to perpettate his power, nor to
retain the good will of this country. This country wants peace with
Mexico, but her citizens must be protected and their interests must
not be jeapordized. Not only does the United States demand fair
treatment for herself, but in a special way this country stands rep-
resenting the world powers in their relations to Mexico. For the
Monroe Doctrine is not a dead letter, nor is it a sentimental cant,
a real living sentiment, to wunich this country will adhere, under all
conditions,
Farmers’ Reunion.
Last year’s Old Home Week was a great event in the history
of Meyersdale. In connection with this year’s event, the occasion
The efforts are being di-
rected to bring about this result, and the promise is that Meyers-
dale will be made interesting and attractive during Fair Week. This
year, likewise, the parades are to be a feature which shall be of in-
terest and attraction.
The sahools of Meyersdale and surrounding districts are expect-
to take part jn the parade. The Firemen, fraternal organizations, |.
and trades display are to form one day’s feature, and the Farmers’
Reunion would be incomplete without the Farmers’ Parade.
It is be lieved that Fair Week will bring back many people to
Meyersdale who at a former time were identified with the interests
of the county and promotes the county’s good. The glad hand is
extended to all to come to the Fair and take part in the Farmers’
Reunion,
New York’s Governors.
New York is the Empire Btate and as such has been regarded
throughout the history of the nation. New York has always been
a state that determined in a large measure the choice for president
of the United States, wielding great political influence, exerting
power that reached far beyond the bounds of the state. New York
is a state that has had great men for governor, frequently, and fre-
quently has had great politicans at its head. Now the spectacle is
presented of the state having two governors. Gov. Sulzer was im-
peached by the assembly and because of this act of the assembly
according to the logic of some, the lieutenant governor becomes
governor. The impeachment, however, by the assembly does not
establish the truth with reference to the missdeeds of Sulzer. It
means that he is charged with certain violations of the law, and a
governor like an ordinary person must be regarded innocent until
proven guilty. The charges, the conviction and the punishment
dare not all be in one combination, and yet that is largely which one
view of the fact the assembly implies. The lieutenant governor is
trying to act as governor, and Sulzer is also claiming that he has a
right to transact the business or the state.
Andrew Johnson was impeached while president of the United
States, but he was not deposed from office and succeeded by another
immediately after the charges were made, instead be acted in the
capacity of president throughout the trial There would hardly be
any less to New York if this method were adopted. The trouble is
Tammany—Murphy. All these things which Sulzer is charged have
to do with events prior to his indictment into office, so that he is to
be punished not for what he did while in office, but prior to holding
office. ».
WitH New York having two governors, Harry Thaw getting
away from Matteawan, Huerta getting more civil, Governor Tener
comming to Meyersdale during Fair Week, the county politicians
fighting the judgship battle over at Johnstown, the Pittsburgh base
ball team winning two games in succession and the Commercial
Club drilling a big hole in the earth, 3,000 feet deep—all these show
how important are the times in which we live.
| friend at Boswell, caused the arrest
| last Friday of Charles Bochics at
Greensburg. The prisoner is charged
| with participation in the robbery of a
Jerome foreigner near Boswell a few
days ago. There were two men in
the job, the other being caught a few
days ago. Boswell officers knew the
second one to be a close friend of a
girl there and kept a close watch
upon her. When the call came from
Greensburg the officers at that place
were put into the case at once. The
prisoner was identified and taken to
the county jail.
