Mississippr is a good example of
Democratic rule. It has 70 cents in
the state treasury, and during the last
year 596 murders were committed
within its boundaries. And yet some
people are urging us to adopt the Mis=
sissippi brand of political rule.—Ex.
Our near Wellington, Kansas, they
gave a new religious prophet a coat of
tar and feathers. No doubt that
prophet feels that he worked himself
up to a rather too high piteh, says the
Rockwood Leader. We don’t know
about the highness of the pitch, but
the prophet, no doubt, can testify to
its sticking qualities ; also that there is
a possibility of such angels as he being
well supplied with feathers before their
wings are sprouted.
ANOTHER new year is about to be
ushered in, and none of us know what
the harvest will be, what the year will
bring forth, what joys or what sorrows
will mark the trail of the days, weeks
and months as they go flitting by.
What the future has in store for us,
we know not, but, for most of us, much
will depend on ourselves. Our lives
are largely what we make them, even
though it has been said that “there is a
destiny that shapes our ends, rough-
hew them as we may.” And while our
success or our failure ro largely de-
pends upon ourselyes, it is well to look
back into the past and take an invoice
of the mistakes we have made. But
we must not stop at taking stock, at
invoicing, as it were, but we should all
resolve to profit by those mistakes and
see to it that they or others equally bad
do not occur again through any fault
of ours. We may have sorrows and
troubles enough after doing our best,
but let not that discourage us. Re-
member that those who make no effort
to do right will in most cases, at least,
suffer far more, for “the way of the
transgressor is hard,” and even though
he escape suffering and justice for a
time, retributive justice invariably
overtakes him in the end. “The mills
of God grind slowly, but grind exceed-
ing fine,” and while justice may be
slow and stalk with a leaden heel, it
sooner or later strikes with an iron
hand. Above all things, when men fail
to improve their own opportunities,
they should at least refrain from wish-
ing others who are more frugal and in-
dustrious all manner of misfortune.
During the late strike in this coal re-
gion, it will be remembered, every time
a working miner met with an accident,
some men were quick to express the
hope that the injured would die. Many
other hard and cruel wishes were heard
during those dark and gloomy days,
and in the short space that has already
intervened, those cruel and sinful
wishes have acted as a boomerang on
the heads of quite a number who made
them. Some of those making the harsh
wishes have already been called hence
by violent deaths, while others have
been maimed and crippled, stricken by
disease. and made to suffer in many
ways. Cruel wishes usually return
with compound interest upon those who
wish misfortune and violent deaths to
their fellow men. Therefore, let the
year of 1906 be an era of good feeling,
of charity toward one another, and let
a more brotherly feeling exist through-
out this entire region than we have
known for years.

CHANGE IN ROAD LAWS.
Three Supervisors in Each Town-
ship Next Year—Supervisors
Appoint a Roadmaster for
Each District.
An act passed by the last Legislature
will work a marked change in road-
making in the various counties of this
state. Under this new law there will
be but three supervisors in each town-
ship, whoshall have general supervision
over the roads and bridges of the town-
ship, but the actual work will be done
under the direction of roadmasters ap-
pointed by the board of supervisors.
Following are some of the provisions of
the new law, and other provisions will
be published in due time.
The new law provides that in every
township of the second class (and every
township in Somerset county is of the
second class), at the regular spring
election next year, 1908, there shall be
elected three persons, one for one year,
one for two years, and one for three
years, and at each township election
thereafter one person shall be elected
for three years.
This board of supervisors shall meet
on the first Monday of March, where
the township auditors meet, and after
taking the oath of office shall elect one
of their number chairman and one sec-
retary, and shall appoint one person,
not a member of the board, treasurer.
They shall then proceed to levy a road
tax, not to exceed ten mills on each
dollar of valuation, and shall assess
each taxable one dollar in addition to
the millage tax.
Immediately after organization the
board of supervisors shall divide the
township into road districts, with not
less than five miles of road to each dis-
trict, and shall employ ‘a roadmaster
for each district, who shall work upon
the roads himself and see that the work
is done according to the plans and
specifications furnished him by the su-
pervisors. He shall oversee the men
employed, keep their time, and report
under oath to the supervisors as often
as they require. Roadmasters shall at
all times be subject to removal by the
board of supervisors. The supervisors
shall fix the wages, per hour, for road-
masters and laborers.
The board of supervisors shall meet
once each month for the transaction of
business, and will be allowed for neces-
sary expenses, including office rent,
stationery, light and fuel. There is no
provision in the Act of 1905 for com-
pensation for supervisors, other than
that mentioned above, and presumably
they must act without compensation, as.
do school directors.
All vacancies in the board of super-
visors will be filed by the court upon
petition.
No supervisor shall be interested, di-
rectly or indirectly, in any work done,
purchase, or contract relating to roads
or bridges, nor furnish any materials
therefor, under penalty of a fine not
exceeding $500, or imprisonment not
exceeding six months, or both.
The Acts of June 12th, 1893, June
26th, 1895, and May 24th, 1901, are not
repealed by the Act of April 12th, 1905.
Opposing Affirmation.
Judge Kooser has made an effort at
the last two orthree terms of court to
abolish, as far as possible, the affirma-
tion custon that prevails among jurors
and witnesses in this county. He has
with increasing emphasis on two or
three occasions called the attention of
jurors and witnesses to the fact that
they should be sworn as the law con-
templates, and not affirmed. Where a
juror or a witness really has conscien-
tious scruples against taking an oath,
he is permitted to affirm, but in a very
large majority of cases affirmation is
followed merely as a custom, and it is
this custom that the Court opposes.
It is asserted by Judge Kooser, and by
attorneys who have visited courts ir
different parts of the State, that no-
where else does this custom prevail to
the extent that it does in this county,
and there is a growing demand from
both bench and bar that insofar as
possible the custom be abolished. If
jurors and witnesses do not comply
with this demand the Court may find
it necessary to resort to the expedient
of examining each party who desires to
affirm, to learn whether he is really en-
titled to the use of that privilege.—
Somerset Standard.
A FEARFUL FATE.
It is a fearful fate to have to endure
the terrible torture of Piles. “I can
truthfully say,” writes Harry Colson,
of Masonville, Ia., “that for Blind,
Bleeding, Itching and Protruding Piles,
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is the best
cure made.” Also best for cuts, burns
and injuries. 25c. at E. H. Miller's,

ALL FOREST INDUSTRIES CO
CERNED. :
Government Sends Out Question
Cards to Gather Statisties of
Forest Produets.
| Bringing toa focus the preparatoey
work of the past six months, the Foe
est Service is sending out quest iom
cards to secure statistics of forest pro-
duets. The rerarns will be worked up
into a report, which will give by states,
regions, and species the cut and ship-
ments of lumber, shingles, laths. coog-
erage stock, ties, posts, and poles due-
ing the year; the stock on hand at the
close of the year; and also the amoust
of wood used in the various industries
for which wood furnishes the raw ms
terial, and the value of the products.
Circular letters to manufacturers ae-
company the cards, explaining their
use and object. :
The vital importance of accurate
statistics of forest products has ap-
pealed forcibly to manufacturers
throughout the country. The National
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association,
and several other associations of lum-
bermen and wood users, are cooperat-
ing with the Forest Service. During
the summer the utmost pains have
been taken to make the investigatiom
precise and practical to the last detail.
The question eards which have re-
sulted are clear and comprehensive,
and may be filled out and returned by
the recipients with very little trouble.
It is quite plain that the success of
this study now depends upon the care-
ful assistance of the industries com-
cerned. In order that the returns may
have their full value to all, each indi-
vidual correspondent’s card is neces-
sary. The returns will be regarded ss
strictly confidential, and neither the
name of the correspondent nor the le-
cation of his mill will be made public
by the Service.
A copy of the report which is to be
published as a result of this investige~
tion will be sent to all who fill out the
question eards and to others interested
in the use of forest products.

FURIOUS FIGHTING.
“For seven years,” writes Geo. W.
Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., “I had =
bitter battle, with chronic stomach and
liver trouble, but at last I won, and
cured my diseases by the use of Elee-
tric Bitters. I unhesitatingly recom-
mend them to all, and don’t ‘intend ia
the future to be without them in the
house. They are certainly a Swonder-
ful medicine to have cured such a bad
case as mine.” Sold under guarantee

NOT ALL VACCINATED ON ARK.
When Big Girls Come What is Prin-
cipal to Do?
At the Middlesex County School
Board Association’s annual meeting,
Professor Armstrong, superintendeat
of New Brunswick, N. Y., schools, call-
ed attention to the clause of ihe school
laws requiring that the principal or
teacher must be satisfied by actual in-
spection that a prospective pupil has
been vaccinated.
“We have many young women candi-
dates for admission to the higher
classes,” said Prof. Armstrong, “and
many of them, though vaccinated, have
not been vaccinated on the arms.
What is a teacher to do under such
circumstances?”
It was the concensus of opinion that
examination of pupils in advanced
classes should be made by a physician.
Road Making Suspended.
State Highway Commissioner Hunter
has suspended actual road construe-
tion in Pennsylvania until next spring.
The commissioner will, however, com-
tinue to make surveys for new work se
long as the weather lis mild. Applica
tions from townships for state aid for
the improvement of public roads have
become so numerous that it is impos-
sible for Commissioner Hunter to take
care of all of them under the apportioa-
ment for the next six months.
Commissioner Hunter, it is believed,
will co-operate with Auditor-General
Snyder for an increase in the annusf
appropriation for public improvements
ap to $5,000,000. This appropriation,
however, cannot be acted upon by the
Legislature until the regular session im
1907.
