Qn Tuesday, a small boy on his way to school ran across the State Bridge gjam-bang into an automobile which turned the corner from Main street Into Twelfth. Fortunately, the little chap was not seriously hurt, and the conduct Of the automobillst, who picked the boy up and drove "him" in the machine to a dpptors was all that it shpuld be, The accident waa not due to any carelessness on the part of the .motorist because his Jipyn was tooting away before be turned the corner. "Neither was. the accident flue to any fault of the small boy whose head barely reaches half way up'tbs irOR partition which separates the roadway from the passenger walk. -. ' 1 ii. The accident Wfts "entirely 'due to the fact that the average passer-by "S much less a small boy is not tall enough to look over the partition, and as it is of one solid sheet of iron, of course no one can look through It. As the accident Tuesday clearly demonstrates, serious accidents are Jiable to .occur at either end of the bridge unless something is done to pre "vent'tliem, T " 1 . 1 --:,-- -t ywMfilio .. Tho simplest way, it seems to Us, for reducing this danger to a lnlnl 'Inum, Is to cut a number of parallel slits in the Iron sheet on each sldo of the roadway, so that pedestrians may stop before crossing Twelfth street or Park Place if they see a vehicle is going to Urn the corner. As it is now, pedestrians cannot see through and often cannot hear tho automo bile horn because of the high partitions now standing. :0: THE SHAMEFUL INACTION OF COATESVILLE. Many days have elapsed since Zach Walker, the negro who killed a white man and then tried to kill 'himself, was dragged from the hospital by the Coatesville mob, and thrust time and again into the fire until he was burned to a crisp, and yet nothing or, at least, very little, has been done towards removing the stain of that crime from the fair name of the State of Pennsylvania. There has been talk; lots of talk but no results. The Governor, the Attorney General and the District Attorney of the county have all talked of their determination to use all their power to bring the murderers to justice. Judge Butler, on the bench at 'West Chester, in charging the grand jury, said that every person present in the mob, whether actually partici pating in the burning or not, was guilty of murder, and some half dozen persons have been arrested and indicted. But they are mostly boys or persons of no Influence in the community, while it was said at the time and has been continually repeated since, that the mob was largely com posed of those well known, not a few of them leading citizens. It will not do to make scapegoats of a few obscure individuals, while the men whose responsibility is the greatest are permitted to escape on the jlea that they cannot be identified so as to secure conviction, and we "Hrust that "no such attempt is to bo made. It is reported that Attorney General Bell and District Attorney Gawthrop have agreed upon a plan of action to secure the indictment of those higher up than any yet in custody, by the Grand Jury which has not yet made its final report. There should be no doubt of their success if they are really in earnest, and if Chester county is worthy of the good name that it has had in the past. ' The State and county authorities cannot escape their responsibility in this matter. The people look to them to vindicate tho name of Pennsylvania, as a Commonwealth in which sum-' mary vengeance cannot be visited upon any one, no matter how humble or how criminal he may be a Commonwealth in which justice is admin istered according to law. PEOPLE'S FORUM : Can't Something bo Done? Editor The Citizen: I saw in the Toledo Blade an ac count where the western ranchmen are to have a meeting to see what can be done about the high price of meat. .They claim that the beef cattle were never cheaper than they have 'been the past year, and the middlemen are making 300 per cent, profit. Is that right? Now let us look to home for example. The butchers are the same with the same per cent, profit. If a farmer goes to them and wants to sell them a dressed hog, they will tell them they have lots on hand, and that they are cheap, as all they are giv ing is from G to 8 cents per pound, and are willing to buy in a few days. The price of meat which they aro selling is lower than it has been. But let a customer ask for a few pounds of meat and they will tell you how scarce it is, and will charge you from 1C to 40 cents per pound. Now I wish something could be done in Wayne county. I would suggest that the Grangers start a regular Grange store where they could get what their meat and other produce Is worth, so as to make the meat dealers come down on tho price of their meat, as it is as dear now as it was during war times.

They can scarcely endure a slight chilly day and don't seem to know how then to protect themselves. In stead of wearing more clothing at such times in the hottest weaher on their state occasions they don their Prince Albert coats and high silk hats, which they get second-hand of the traders from England, and wearing their blankets they present a very ludicrous and uncomfortable appearance. However, they feel proud and well satisfied with them selves thus arrayed. A most deplor able heathen belief of theirs is 'witch craft. When one of them die they think one or more of their number are possessed of a witch or evil spirit which caused the death. Such sus picious ones are selected and are given a poisonous drink from which they usually die.

M. Chis bro Seminary in Monroe county, N. Y. My post-graduate course was about thirty years ia the school of hard knocks as a farmer and lumberman Jn Wayne county. Have met many people in the var ied relations of a business man and this long experience has en abled me to meet many whom I esteem as friends and gain at least enough knowledge to appre ciate the needs and requirements of my fellow man. My aim has steadily been to deal honestly, frankly and fairly with all and to dearly cherish all of our country's institutions, and to encourage and assist every true effort to maintain and ad vance them. I invite the fullest Investigation of my record and with pleasure refer you to the ex pression given at tho polls by my AVALLACE J.

I therefore earnestly request your support and promise if nominated and elected to faithfully perform the duties of the office to the very best of my ability and in all things observe the spirit of the - Golden Rule.
