‘Thaw Fighting for Freedom.
Thaw, Jerome et al., are still holding 2 prominent place before
the public. Jerome's course in the state of New York was crowned
with victory after victory. In New Hampshire a Federal Judge
did not take the same view of the law as did Jerome, and Thaw’s
counsel won the most notable court victory since Thaw escaped
from Matteawan. Not only was a temporary victory gained by
Thaw’s attorneys, but the foundation was laid for taking the case
eventually to the highest court of the land. The governor of New
Hampshire will have to dispose of the request for Thaw’s extradi-
tion from the New York authorities, but should that decision be
adverse to Thaw, matters are shaping to get the case before the
United States Supreme Court if necessary. So it seems the end of
the That case is not yet. .
Who's Who in Politics ?
Twenty-five years ago most men belonged to but one political
party, but Meyersdale’s returns show that what once was is no
more. An examination of the votes polled shows that party name
does not have much weight with the people now, and in the past a
man who had party connections as a rule voted and worked for that
party, but in these modern days it is alleged that some men work
for several parties, or their candidates, at the same time. Of
course in doing that there Is no principle involved, but rather sinis-
FASS ~~
WHY PLANT STREET TREES
Ornament, Health, Comfort and Pro-
tection Are Four Good and Suf-
ficient Reasons.
There are at least four good rea-
sons why we should plant street
trees: First, for ornament; second,
for health; third, for comfort; fourth,
for protection.
1. Ornamentation. That street or-
namentation pays in many ways no
one will deny, but it pays directly in
dollars and cents. Beautifying a neigh-
borhood ‘is not a mere fad. It costs
but lttle more to make it attractive
than to leave it or make it unsightly,
and a well-kept, well-planted district
will not only attract, but command
residents desirable in every way. It
is not mere sentiment that prompts
the railroads to advertise the attrac
tions along their lines. Beauty to
them represents cash, and each year
they spend immense sums calling at-
tention to the attractions of the sec-
tions through which they pass. If
people choose a line ef travel be-
cause of fis mestural amd acquired
beauties, how much more eagerly
will they seek such a place for a res-
idence. That both are eagerly sought
for is undisputed. Landscape beauty
is capital. Again, not one of us would
be satisfied to spend his life in a des-
ert, though surrounded with the ne-
cessities of life in plenty. Our na-
tures crave better and more beautiful
surroundings, and we oftimes travel
ter and selfish motives must be the guiding and controlling purpose.
Take the Democratic ticket of the 1st precinct for Burgess. Deal | far seeking the most beautiful loca-
was the regular candidate and received 30 votes ; Hostetler, the
tion obtainable.
2. Health. Trees add greatly to the
Republican candidate, received 1 Democratic vote; Daugherty, Re- | healthfulness of any district by cool-
publican, received 26 Demgcratic
ed 6 Demoeratie wates. Who's who, anyhow ?

“Splendid trout fishing,” the adver
tisement said, and Slithers, who fan-
cied himself as a fisherman, went
down for a day’s sport. He hired a
villager to accompany him, and to-
gether they walked along the banks
of the stream.
“The midges are troublesome,” com-
plained Mr. Slithers.
“Aye, sir,” remarked the man; “but
that ain’t the worst of it.”
“The bushes are very thick; I can’t

The Good Mayor.
Mayor Gaynor, praising the drat
cleaning department of New York, ut-
tered the other day an epigram that
might advantageously be framed and
hung in every mayors office in the
land.
“A good mayor,” he said, “should be
as ashw.med of a dirty city as he would
be of a dirty shirt.”

Miller Huggins, Leagler
Miller James Huggins, manager of
the St. Louis Cardinals and one of
the greatest second basemen in base-
ball, was born in Cincinanti, Ohio,
March 27, 1880. He started his pro-
gessional career in 1901 with the St.
Paul team of the American associa-
tion and played with the Saints for
three seasons. In 1904 he returned to
his native city as a big leaguer and a
member of his home team, the Cin-
einnati Reds. For six years, Or until | days are over Huggins will practice

Huggins was the star of the Reds’ in-

Do Prices Appeal to You ?
Of course they do. They appeal to everybody when they are low and
especially when coupled with high quality merchandise. This happy
combination you'll find in our new stock of goods for Fall and Winter wear.
Col. Roosevelt said that almost every President during the past hun-
dred years had TALKED of building the Panama Canal, ‘but “I
BUILT IT.” That's what makes a man or a store different—not talking
about things but DOING them and doing them NOW Merchants often
talk about reducing their prices next week or next month, but I have fol-
lowed Roosevelt's plan—THEY ARE REDUCED RIGHT NOW.
