Kill DAY, .JANUARY 11), HUli.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
it Is easy In the world to llvo after tho world's opinion. It Is easy
In solitude to llvo after our own, but tho great man Is ho who In tho
midst of tho crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the Independence of soli
tude. Emerson.
Tho last heard of tho man who prophesied an open winter ho was
wheeling another load of coal Into his cellar.
King George having left for homo, tho natlvo princes can now doff
tho gorgeous raiment which has featured his presence in India.
Of course thero is no significance in tho fact that tho Ualtimoro build
ing In which tho Democratic National convention Is to bo held was onco
used for prize flght exhibitions.
That billion dollar company said to have been formed to pay off tho
world's debts, seems to have annexed a wrong Idea If it should accomplish
;hat It has set out to do would not the world still bo In debt to tho company?
Day by day thousands of voters who temporarily left tho party or
stayed at homo on election day of 1910 aro regretting their actions and an
nouncing their return to their party. They will bo found supporting tho
candidate and platform of tho Chicago convention and when tho Demo
crats wake up on the morning of November Cth next they will find that the
rictory they are winning on paper now will' bo a stupendous defeat and that
old time Republican politics and principles have prevailed.
We now have facts from the Tariff Board regarding tho wool and wool
en industry and those facts are soon to bo followed by others concerning
cotton, steel and other industries. Tho Democrats, however, agree on one
thing. They propose to ignoro all facts and frame bills that carry no pro
tection whatever to our industries by which, to raise sufficient revenue, must
permit the importation of enough foreign made goods to cripple every In
dustry in tho land or force tho reduction of wages to the foreign level.
RE ON TIME.
No matter who you are or where you aro employed, whether It Is in
an office, store or shop, be on time. If the watchman had been on tlmo
and at his post at Torresdalo on the Pennsylvania railroad six persons
would not have been killed a few days since. Did It pay? The railroad en
gineer's chief aim is to bo "O. T." on time. Wo all can profit by an
other's mistake, therefore, let us be on time and at our post when the un
expected passes by.
FEED THE QUAIIi.
Farmers In rural districts are earnestly requested to feed quail in
their territory, if they are to bo saved through this cold winter.
Writing along this line, Erasmus Wilson, of Pittsburg, in his much
quoted circular, "Save Our Quail," says.
" Grain, screenings, ground feed, sunflower seed, chicken corn any
eort of grain, will make a. feast for him. At this season of the year the
same as you, he has a special liking for buckwheat. Can you 'blame him?
" Every boy who knows where thero Is a covey of quail should regard
it as a religious duty to seo that tho 'birds aro fed every day. Such boys
will bo all the better men for doing this.

Court adjourned at noon.
When Court opened in tho after
noon, Floyd Uortree was recalled to
tho stand. He said if Swarts took
tho $2.70 out of 'his bag on May 10
for the purpose of paying freight or
for any other purpose it was his duty
to make a record of It. According
to Uortree. Swarts never accounted
for tho $2.70. Uortree said that
while the roll and money sometimes
disagreed, such was not the case dur
ing tho last two or three months
Swarts worked there. Prior to this
time, Uortreo admitted that ho con
stantly found more money in tho
liag than tho records showed. IIo
didn't call Swarts' attention to tho
discrepancy of tho roll and money,
on May 11, because the money and
the roll corresponded, and thero was
no reason to call his attention to it.
Uortreo claimed that thero was no
record of sales to Alpha In that
month. Swarts, ho declared, had no
right to pay a bill without his con
sent. About tho middle of February
when tho monoy did not correspond
with tho roll, Swarts was told that
ho could keep It correct or quit his
Job. After that, said Uortreo, his
record corresponded almost to a
cent.
S. C. Uortreo was tho fourth wit-
On cross-examination, she stated
that sho counted $20.10 In tho bag
in tho morning. Some was ln bills
and samo ln chango.
Mrs. Uortree, the seventh witness,
and wife of Floyd Uortrco, sworo to
receiving tho money, May 10, from
Swarts, and seeing It counted. There
was no cross-examination.
Earl Savits. the eighth witness,
swore that ho lived six miles from
Ariel, and had dealing at Uortree's
mill. IIo dealt with Swarts at times.
'Ho was at tho mill, May 12. He
had dealings with Swarts that day.
Swarts gave him a statement, which
ho took home and gavo to his fath
er. Thero was a mistake of 40 cents
In his favor, and ho went back and
paid Swarts.
On cross-examination ho told of
buying on May 12, 1000 corn, 2 Vj
bu. oats, 300 middlings and 300
bran. IIo paid Swarts for that.
Swarts charged him 4 0 cents less
than ho ought to have done. Tho
next day ho went back and paid him
tho fortv cents.
Floyd Uortreo was recalled to the
stand. Ho Identified Exhibit v snow

When asked about tho caro and
custody of tho bag, Swarts said:
"On one occasion 1 wont out and

G. W. Swarts, as associato counsel 1 asked where the bag was. Ho said

show you that tho defendant, G. W. , ! would deliver tho bag to Floyd
that was settled. Then ho askml mn
about somo hardware I bought at
a Scranton store. 'Is that all?' I
said. 'That's all I know of,' ho said.
'According to my account that's all
I now of.' "
"I asked him If that was a settle
ment for everything. Ho said It was.
I told him 'Mr. Holgato Is my attor
ney. Floyd asked 'Do you want this
check?' Mr. Holgate said 'We'll take
that check as a settlement': took the
check and gavo it to me.
I remember Savits bolnir at tho
mill on May 12. IIo camo there to
buy feed. He showed mo I had made
a mistako In a previous day's pur-
chaso of 40 cents. I put the 40 cents
In the bag. The correction would not
appear on tho carbon copy. I was ln
tho fire room. Ho had tho slip in his
nanus i gavo mm tho day before
showing the mistake of 40 cents. I
added it to his bill. He took it with
him. Many of them threw the slins
on tho floor. Somo took them along.
"urn you over tako any money of
theirs u.e. Uortreo & Son's) and
convert It to your own use?"
No, sir.
Swarts then went on to give some
Idea of tho nature and character of
his duties at tho mill, whero he was
employed 7 years, 8 months and 20
days.
"It was impossible to keep records
ln the rush. When I was down in the
fire room, they would come down and
ask for money. Quito frequently
thero was no record mado of it. It
was tho practico of tho houso to call
my attention to shortage. My trans
actions expired at night. I never
knew but four days when I knew
how much money was in tho bag in
tho morning or evening. For the
last month or two nothing of any
discrepancy was reported to me. I
told S. C. Uortree when told about a
shortage 'you know there is too much
business for ono man to keep
straight.' "
It was twenty-five minutes past 11
o'clock, when Lawyer John T. Scragg
took tho witness In hand for cross
examination. Despite a merciless
grilling ho could not shako the wit
ness' story In the east. About all
Mr. Scragg could get out of him was
that ho was the "Ariel Poultryman,"
who kept chickens for commercial
purposes, tended his poultry by
lanternlight in the morning and had
his son feed them at night. Swarts
insisted that if Alpha paid him any
money ho put it in, the bag. Court
aajourneu at noon.
Wednesday Afternoon
Following the opening of Court at
1:30 p. m., Attorney Scragg kept
Swarts on the rack for a full hour,
firing a volley of questions at him.
IIo succeeded ln bringing out several
points favorable to tho defendant.
"What record," said Swarts, "have
I to show that I ever turned any
monoy over? I never got a receipt at
night." The defendant denied ever
being told by Floyd Uortreo that he
would have to quit his job, if he
didn't keep his accounts better.
Swarts Insisted that tho check of
lust Juno was given to him as a
settlement for everything he owed
Floyd Uortree. Uortreo told him
there was a balance duo him of $73.
07. "That settlement," declared the
witness, "Included everything I owed
him." Swarts left tho stand at 2:30
p. in.
F. H. Curtis, Lako Ariel, testified to
being at tho mill a year ago when
Swarts was waiting on somo people.
S. C. Uortree camo out of tho otllco
and asked him tor some money.
Swarts pulled the bag out of his
pocket, gavo It to S. C. Uortreo who
took it to tho office. Tho bag was
not returned while tho witness was
thero.
