AIJOUT THE THIRD PARTY.
The gathering of the clans of po
litical derelicts Is now taking place
through the state to devise ways and
means to defeat the regular nomi
nees of the Republican and Demo
cratic state tickets.
LEWIS EMERY, Jr., JERE S.
BLACK, FLINN, late boss of Pitts
burg, VAN VALKENBURG, would
be boss of Philadelphia, GIBBONY,
BERRY and N1LES, led by SHEATZ,
are using every means in their power
to disorganize the two old parties and
defeat JOHN K. TENER and WEB
STER GRIM, the regular nominees
of the state conventions of their re
spective parties for governor.
Most of the men, it appears, agi
tating this third party movement,
are men who at some time or other
have failed to muster sufficient sup
port to land nominations for high
offlces and, being defeated, are now
arrayed against those of whom they
asked support.
The Republican party, however,
has little to worry over In this vin
dictive array of would-be officehold
ers1. -. Theyare hungry, and, not hav
ln&.rthe; -patronage of their party
handed, to them through their regu
Jar party delegates, now attempt to
lead, the rank and file of their par
ties astray. ' The Republicans of
Pennsylvania .have heard this "big
noise" before; they know the more
noise these -malcontents make the
"greater the majority will be for the
nominees on the Republican ticket
when the votes are counted. Mr.
TENER and the men whose names
follow his on the Republican ticket
honorably nominated at Harrlsburg
Jiave no cause for loss of sleep.
They will bej elected by an approxi
mate majority "of 100,000, and the
third ticket soreheads will then
stand lower , In' the estimation of
their nelgVbo'rs than they ever stood
.before.
Ever stop to think how few men
there are who can stand being boost
ed above the shoulders of their fel
lows without the personal ego crop
ping out? Forest City News.

WHERE ARE THE SNAKES? , this fall for governor of Now Jer
So far this season there has been , Bey. Supposing the B1LL.Y SULZEft
nn nltnost unprecedented dearth of
real good snnke stories squirming
their way through tho columns of
the Pennsylvania press. While men
from the hitherto prolific snake
zones of the Delaware river as well
as the mountain counties hnstcn to
assure us the visible supply of the
reptiles Is fully up to the average,
If not a little bit beyond It, there
are not many harrowing tales com
ing In of exciting chases after blackB
and copperheads, with an occasional
rattler or two, that In years agone i
used to show up with much regu
larlty in this as well as the central
part of the state before hay time
cot nicely In operation. The New
York Sun correspondent seeking
snake yarns at $16 to the solid col
umn for the Sun, even back before
Dana's day, did denrly dote on snake
copy and always has paid double
for it is not going to get rich this
year of grace 1910 on the stuff he
can mall bis Journal about the fer
ocious racer with 11 rattles that
chased farmer Jenkins up the first
shagbark walnut tree that came
within hailing distance.
The Altoona Mirror, which worries
over this paucity of snake tales a
whole lot more than we intend to
stew over any subject other than a
possible huckleberry pie famine be
tween July 20 and Aug. 15, tries to
solve the problem, if a problem It
is, about like this:
Whether this is due to a lack of
vivid imagination on the part of the
correspondents or merely signifies
that the correspondents are not. on
the job, we cannot say, but there are
certainly enough newsgatherers roam
ing Blair county to cover every snake
yarn that turns up.
But we do not seem to be worse
off in this respect than other locali
ties in Pennsylvania. Very few of
the numerous exchanges which reach
this office are long on reptilian re
ports; in fact, in not one of them
have we seen a narrative that appear
ed worthy of reproduction. This In
the face of the demand for Informa
tion upon the part of State Zoolo
gist Surface as to whether a rattle
snake can climb
Perhaps we are a trifle early In
this matter. The picnic season is not
yet in full swing, the harvest time
is late, and the camping-outers are
only just hiking for the woods and
the mossy banks. Maybe, when the
returns begin to come in, we will
find that this has been a banner year.
Come to think of it, the only real
hot snake yarns that have come this
way were from Pike county, where
a Matamoras constable and a Mata
moras hotel man went over Into Ding
man township and swatted to death
a five-foot rattler that Is solemnly
declared to have turned out 16 rat
tles. Thus far Wayne has not been
able to cope with Pike for length of
Rnnke or number of rattles. The
best we can do is refer our Altoona j
rontemnorary to a certain robust !
farmer In Texas No. 4 who has sent
four rattlers Into the snake's eter
nity thus far this summer. And the
whole four, by the way, were taken
from one field a Held, we may add,
than which there are several larger
In that particular township.
WHO CAN HEARST SUPPORT?
What candidate will the HEARST
papers support for the Democratic
nomination In 1012? Tho inde
pendence league Is deader than the
proverbial doornail. Having failed
In its outrageous purpose, which was
to make Mr. HEARST mayor of
New York city, to make Mr. HEARST
governor of New York state, to make
Mr. HEARST president of the United
States, to get a great office some
where and somehow for one of the
least competent and least deserving
men on God's green earth, the or

ganization that the paymaster
yellow Journalism founded and fi
nanced has discharged Its clerical
help, sold off Its furniture, burned
up its tracts and pamphlets, and
gone out of business as completely
as a champion prizefighter goes
when younger blood sends him to
his final corner. Tho HEARST pa
pers cannot support Mayor Gaynor,
agnlnst whom they waged a most
vehement and vitriolic warfaro for
weeks before his November land
slide. They cannot support Gov.
HARMON, who, although an essen
tially democratic Democrat of tho
typo Mr. HEARST loves to smirk and
fawn upon, was tho president of a
railroad and a director in banks and
an assoclato of corporationists be
fore he got to tho executive chair In
Columbus. They would find It tough
rations to simulate even a poor show
of affection for GEORGE GRAY, tho

able outcome of his act is a clear
case of murder, from my viewpoint.
In New York, where I belong, a man
whoso victim lingers three days or
more cannot be held for murder In

law, of course, Leon Csolgosz, who
