Though ho may have been a little unfortunate In tho form of expres sion ho used, we think that all candid men muBt acquit President Taft of having said, or of having Intimated In a recent speech in New York, that ho believes that the American people or a majority of them, aro "not lit for aolf-govcrnnient." What he did say was: "Popular government we all believe In. Thero aro those of us who do not believe that all peoplo aro fitted for popular government." Clearly what the President meant was that he Is ono ot those who believe that SOME peoplo arc not fitted for popular government. Tho HarrJsburg Patriot (Democratic) believes that tho opponents of Mr. Taft within his own party, will not hurt him or help themselves by any auch palpable misrepresentation as some of thorn havo been making regard ing tho President's views of tho fitness of tho peoplo for popular government as set out In that speech. The President of tho United States Is as much entitled to fair treat ment as any other citizen. COMMKNTS ON "HAT IN UIN." I for their nophow, Waltor Sampson. Whon former President Roosevelt Nov. Moyer preached horo on Sun passed through Now Haven thoro (la' nnl wll uo loro next Sunday af woro a numtiur of imrsnns 'awnltlni?! teinooil for tho last tlino boforo COU- hls train at tho station. To tho ' forcnto. Rov. Moyer Is an onthuslas nowspapor man ho said thoro was no Ho worker and ho should havo tho Information which ho cared to glvo ' support and co-oporatlon of all his out. To ono who asked him If ho mourners. had concluded to, shy his hat Into tho ring m connection with tho Re publican nomination, he turned to a man with whom ho had previously been talking and Bald: "Seo how theso remarks of mine are takon up. The phrase, that 1 used was an or dinary ono, and 'It seems to travol Just tho same, as a phraso 1 used ono tlmo about 'Having them beaten to a frazzle.' That phraso wont broadcast." The following ts taken from an editorial In tho Scranton Tluies: It Is well that the Colonel has decided on his candidacy, and both parties will be better able to shape affairs for tho coming conventions. Tho wisdom of Roosevelt's decision to become a candidate, after serving two terms, and placing himself in opposition to the man whom ho was largely responsible In selecting, having nominated and elected President, is questionable, and It is probable we shall find the leading Republican newspapers of the country In Mr. Taft's favor. Tho third term question will take an Important part In the contest. The conservative peoplo of this country will hesitate to break a law established by Washington and Jefferson and upheld agalnat tho pop ularity of a military hero like Grant. It will bear all tho moro heavily against Roosevelt because he has pledged under no circumstances to accept another term. According to tho Colonel's Columbus address, last week, ho out-Bryan's Bryan or La Follette In radicalism. At tho same tlmo tho Colonel throws out a straw to "big business" now floundering In tho mlro of uncertainty and distress. Thus he Is riding two horses going in op posite directions and will find It hard to maintain his balance. HOW STATE TREASURER WRIGHT STANDS AT HOMlit In compliance with tho requests of a largo number of the leading business and professional men of the state Hon. C. F. Wright has Consent ed to allow his name to go before the Republican state convention fan May 1, for the nomination of State Treasurer. This is particularly gratifying to the citizens of his home town and county to whom it has always been a pleasure to assist in his political ad vancement. This feeling exists, not only among the followers of the Re publican party, but among his political opponents, who are always found doing all In their power for the man who never let politics Interfere with Ills actions when It came to doing a favor for any of his neighbors. While the sentiment In favor of Mr. Wright is practically unanimous In this county It can safely be said that the same condition exists in tho Fourteenth Congressional district which sent Mr. Wright to Congress for three terms where he reflected much credit on the dlsrlct, and made politi cal and personal friendships that havo stood him in good stead ever since. There is no man in Eastern Pennsylvania who would command tho united support of the voters to as great an extent as Mr. Wright, and It Is this fact taken In connection with his able management of tho state's finan ces that has caused the general demand that he accept an elective term In tho office of State Treasurer. The case of Mr. Wright Is certainly ono where the office seeks tho man instead of the man seeking the office. When he was first offered the ap pointment by Governor Stuart, no ono was more surprised than Mr. Wright. Ho accepted it and tho state has benefited moro from tho way ho has per formed the duties than has the Incumbent. When word of tho appointment reached Susquehanna Mr. Wright was in Now York and arrangements were made to give a small reception when ho came home. The reecption will long be remembered as tho greatest day Susquehanna evr had; In fact no citizen of Pennsylvania ever had a moro enthusiastic home coming. It Is estimated that ten thousand people from Susquehanna over had; In fact no citizen of Pennsylvania over had a moro homo of the newly appointed state official and among those who gavo him the most hearty greeting were tho local Democratic loaders. It w-as a wolcomo that any man could bo proud of and ono that would havo been a credit to any community. That homo coming welcome was not a workod up nffalr. but simply a spontaneous outpouring of friends who deslrod to show annreilatlon of the honor that had been conferred upon tho first citizen of tho town who had for another tlmo brought his homo town to tho front. When Mr. Wright's appointment was first announced much surprise was expressed throughout tho state that Gov. Stuart should go to a little out of he way placo to select a man to conduct tho financial affairs of tho state, hut two years In tho office has convinced tho peoplo that tho Gov ernor knew his man and had made a most excel'ent choice. It Is generally admitted that tho affairs of that office havo never been administered In such a business llko mot hod and tho Innovations Introduc ed havo all had the effect of Increasing tho efficiency of tho office. Ills record, when compared with that of his predecessors stands out like a searchlight. Ho has broken all records for collection of claims that havo long been duo the State, so that at tho present tlmo thoro aro very few old claims that are not settled and tho monoy available, Instead of having them hang like a shadow over tho office. Reports from HarrJsburg Indicate that Mr. Wright Is ono of tho most popular ofulals on Capitol Hill, hut this is no surprise to the peonlo who know Mr. Wright best. His uniform courtesy at all times and his desiro to treat everyone right cannot havo any other result. When tho leadors of the Democracy In this county woro nskod tho other day what was doing In local politics they ropllod "what's tho use of doing anything this fall? All our follows aro going to sunnort Wrlcht and that means tho local ticket will go to tho bow wows." That Is a fair illustration of how Mr. Wrlcht Ftands at home and It Is safo to say that If ho is tho nominee ho will poll ninety per cont. of tho vote In his homo town and 75 per pent, in tho Fourteenth district.

Olson, of 100 Ilowon street, Jamestown, has In her posses sion a family heirloom in tho form of a key about a foot long, and weighing abut two pounds. This koy Is nearly 900 years old and has been handed down from generation to gen eration until It has finally reached this Swedish family In America and hero it is llkoly to remain for many years, highly prized by Its owners for tho historical associations which clus tor about 1t, says tho Jamestown Journal. Tho key was used In a lock on tho door of a monastry at Flash gudden on Lako Mossjon, In tho northern part of Snlcland, Sweden, as early as the 11th century, and when tho monastry was destroyed during tho Reformation in that coun try many years later tho koy was moved to tho Polarno church in tho same neighborhood. Thero 'It re mained until tho 17th century, when tho church was extensively remodeled and repaired, the old lock which cov ered nearly half of tho door, being ropiaceu uy ono or moro modern con struction. Tho lock was then placed on tho door of a store house of a farm owned by ancestors of Mrs. Ol son, and the key was used up to a short tlmo ago, whon It was brought to this country. It Is in excellent condition.

Tho federal grand jury, in session in this city at a term of tho United States court, Justlco Martin presiding, Indicted the Dela ware & Hudson company on thirty counts charging It with violation of the commodity clause of the inter state commerce act on tho 22d. Hitherto prosecutions under this clause have been for tho transporta tion of coal. Tho present caso Is based on tho charge that hay was transported by tho railroad from places In northern New York to Wilkes-Barro and Plymouth Junc tion for use In the company's ruino3. Tho clause of tho Interstato com merce act prohibits railroads from transporting proporty it owns except such as it uses in the conduct of its business. Tho Delaware & Hudson and other roads, It Is alleged, have evaded this prohibition by forming separate corporations which take a title to property and transport It as their own, Special Agent and Examiner J. J. Hlckel, of tho Interstate 'commerce commissioner, says this is attacking tho roads of the ownership of tho miners from an entirely new angle. "The subterfuge of transporting and selling tho coal has hitherto held good, but now we can at least prove that thoy have violated tho clause in respect to this hay," Another Indictment charges the road with billing cars of railroad LAKE COMO.
