RIGHTS OP CANDIDATES FOK THE OFFICE OF STATE TREASURER,
An Interesting and Important discussion Is on in this stato concerning
'the right of a candidate for delegate to tho .state convention to have his
proshlcntl.il preference printed after his name on tho primary ballot.
Tho section of the Act of 190C which Is supposed to give him that right
is as follows:
" Each candidate for delegate shall have tho right, by filing
a request with tho county commissioners, to have printed
at tho right of his namo upon the official ballot In tho
space provided for that purposo, tho namo of tho candi
date whom ho will support in tho convention."
There is no question of the right of any candidate for dologato to a
-oonvontion to have printed on tho ballot tho namo of tho person who is
Ills choice .13 a candidate for any ofllco for which a person is to be nominat
ed 'by that convention. For instance a candidate for delegate to a na
tional convention may have his presidential preference expressed upon tho
liallot. So a candidate for delegate to one of the coming stato conventions
may have printed upon the ballot the name of the candidate of his choice
or tho ofllco of state treasurer or of auditor general or for any other office
for which a candidate Is to be nominated by that convention. Dut may
a candidate for delegate to a state convention have printed upon the bal
lot his choice for a candidato for President of tho United States, a nomina
tion to ho made not at tho state convention but at tho national conven
tion? It Is not probable that the person who drew the bill, or the legisla
ture that enacted it, ever contemplated such a situation as has now
arisen, or ever 'foresaw that a candidate for state delegato would ask to
lave printed on the ballot tho name of a candidato .for whom ho would
have no power to vote in tho convention. A common pleas judge In Al
legheny county, another one in Washington county, and Judges Davis and
HCMichacl of Philadelphia county, have decided that under the Act a can
didate for delegato to a state convention may have his presidential prefer
once expressed on the ballot. But the commissioners of 'Schuylkill coun
ty, and of other counties in the State, acting under the advice of eminent
counsel, have refused to permit candidates for delegates to state conven
tions to have their presidential preference printed on tho ballots. Learning
that tho commissioners of Wayne county, acting under advice of their at
torney, Homer Greene, Esq., had decided at the time the applications were
filed, to accede to the request of tho Ttoosovelt candidates for state dele
gates to have Roosevelt's name printed on the iballots as their presidential
choice, a representative of The Citizen asked Mr. Greene to give his reasons
for so advising the commissioners. He replied that while the strict inter
pretation of the Act would probably warrant the commissioners In refusing
tho request of the Roosevelt state delegates, ho did not in this instance
fcvor a strict interpretation. He called attention to the fact that
the word "support" and not the word "vote" is used In the Act, and that
tho state delegates imleUt, by a liberal interpretation of the clause, be said
to support a presidential candidate In a stato convention toy voting for dele
Gates at large pledged to his candidacy, even though they themselves had
no power to vote for him directly. That while It might be In strict accord
ance with the letter of the Act to deny the request of the candidates for
jjtato delegates, it was nevertheless, in 'his judgment, within the spirit of
tho Act to comply with .It, and that since his advice to the commissioners of
"Wayne county several common pleas judges had so decided. Ho added
that he was unable to see how a compliance with the request could pre
judice the rights of any voter; and that if any number of voters wished to
tio up their candidato for delegato in that way, and he was willing to bo so
tied up, hoth voters and candidate should have the fullest liberty, undor
Itao law, to carry out their purpose.
Tho Citizen believes that this is a sensible view to lake of the matter;
and that a temporary technical advantage gained at the expense of friendly
relations between two wings of a party is rarely worth While.
HAMMERING THE LEGISLATORS.
The independent is still exercised over what it alleges to 'be the fail
ure of our system of government. Following Its attacks upon our courts
it eays editorially:
"Tho reason for this failure of representative govern
ment is the fact that the people's representative is absolute
ly powerless on reaching a state or tho national capital to con
trol either himself or his vote. Ho is absolutely under the
dictation of a political boss."
This Is a serious Indictment to bring against tho whole body of men
Vho compose our congresses and our legislatures. Tho best way to got at
the truth of the matter is to consider the men whom Wayne county has
sent to the legislature of tho state within recent years. Take tho latest
Incumbent of the ofllco and a candidato for rcnomlnation, H. Clark Jackson.
Does tho Independent mean to say that during Mr. Jackson's period of ser
Tlco in tho legislature he was " absolutely powerless to control either him
self or his vote?" that ho was "absolutely under tho dictation of a politi
cal boss?" Does it say that of Leopold Fuerth who preceded Mr. Jackson7
These gentlemen will certainly indignantly resent such a charge by the
Independent, and tho people of Wayne county who fcnow them will ieol
that such resentment is justified. And how about 'H. N. Farley, who pro
ceded Mr. Fuerth? Does tho Independent really mean to charge that H.
N. Farley, whoso Independence and honesty and ability were recognized
by every voter in Wayne county, was not really Independent or honest or
able, but was tho willing tool of a political boss, " powerless to control
either himself or his vote?" It is pretty late In tho day to bring a chargo
like this against a man like Farley. Take a still more lllustrous example;
'Hon. Joel G. Hill. Stand up, Mr. Hill! Tho Independent charges that
you, representing Wayne county in tho state senate, were a more puppet at
IHarrisburg, moved about in tho political gamo by a boss who absolutely
controlled both you and your vote. In viow of your expressed ambition
to represent this district In the next national congress, would It not bo
well for you to meet op.enly this attack upon your personal and political
character? Tho Citizen does not believe that you are tho spineless, char
acterless, venal statesman that tho Independent tries to make you out to
bo, and tho people of Wayne county do not bellovo It, but tho Independent
has said it.
It is a waste, of time to follow tho Bubject farther. Tho people of
Wayne county know, tho readers of tho Independent know, tho Independent
Itself knows that Jaokson, Fuerth, Farley and Hill controlled their own
Totes, were their own bosses, and served their constituents honorably, In
telligently and Industriously. And what Is true In Wayno county Is no
doubt equally true In tho other counties In tho stato and In tho othor
Btates In tho Union. Tho unfortunate part of It all Ib that a Journal that
seeks o mold tho political thought of a community should constantly seek
to undermlno tho confldonco of Its readers In tho public servants whom
they havo themselves chosen to represent them. And, after all, tho field
is open and free. Tho range of choice Is unlimited. If men of tho typo
of Jackson and Fuorth and Farley and Hill nro not, In tho view of tho In
dependent, sufficiently fit and responsible to represent the peoplo of Wayno
county In tho lawmaking body, thon let it bend its efforts toward tho selec
tion of better men. Instead of tearing down that which is good let it help
to build up that which Is bettor. If an individual representative of tho
people la corrupt or characterless, pick him out and castlgato him. But
wholesale denunciations of our public servants aro unjust and unwise and
yhould not bo Indulged In or tolerated by a Journal that pretends to havo
at heart tho public good. '
Well Qualified Delegates.
Wo noto that practically all tho
nowspapors of this district are In ac
cord with tho News In believing that
tho ibest Interests of this district will
bo served by sondlng delegates to tho
National Ropubllcan convention who
nro unpledged. As tho Towanda
Roportor says, tho Republican party
Is of greater Importance than tho
personal candidacy or ambition of
any Individual, and our dologates
should ho free to swing their support
to that candidato In tho convention
who appears best fitted to carry tho
election In November, whether ho bo
Roosovolt, Taft or a " dark 'horse."
Thero seems to bo a growing sen
timent, judging from tho comment of
tho leading metropolitan papers that
neither Taft or Roosevelt will bo tho
nominee. Tho Now York World, last
wcoK, in concluding an editorial
headed 'Roosevelt Beaten," states
tnat "tno best Mr. Roosovolt can
hope to do Is to forco tho nomination
of a compromlBo candidato. Thoro Is
a chance for him to defeat Mr. Taft.
Thero Is no chanco for him to noinl-
nato mmscir."
Bo that as It may, It seems tho part
of -wisdom for tho people of this dis
trict to elect delegates of honor,
courage, standing and political sa
gacity, and send them to Chicago un
trammoled to meet whatover Issuo
may arlso. In Messrs. 'Homer Groen
ami jonn w. Codding tho district is
fortunate In having candidates for
delegates well qualified to Interpret
tho sentiment of tho.iRepubllcan vo
ters in tho four counties, as it mav
crystalizo between now and the tlmo
of tho convention, and onuallv cm.
auio oi tnmKing intelligently for
themselves should a compromise be
come a party necessity during tho
holding of tho convention. Forest

The People Slial! Rule
.Methodist Growth.
Rev. Dr. David G. 'Downey. D. D..
secretary of tho board of Methodist
Sunday schools, announces an in
crease in iMcthodist schools during
uie last iour years ot 1,302, making
a total of such schools to-dav of
35,528, an Increase of 60,000 teach
ers, and of G95.8G9 scholars. The
number of scholars in Methodist
schools is now 4,042,000, thy far tho
largest in any single body in Ameri
ca. Secretary Downer calls this
growth a religious education renais
sance.
Reason for such growth he nuts as
now appreciation of the worth of
children, not as children merely but
as factors In a future civilization. A
very considerable part of this
growth is in men who have formed
Bible classes, and ho says are at
tending them. He believes the re
vival in Tellgious education to be
here to stay.
Error in School Code.
Pennsylvania school boards havn
been notified by Stato Superintendent
N. C. Schaeffer that tho warrant giv
en to tho collectors of taxes should
read that settlement must bo made
tho first day of June and not
July. as is printed in the
new school code. Tho error In
tho printing of tho code was discov
ered by G. Hay Kain, attorney for
tho school board of York.
The new legislation requires that
In every district of the second, third
and fourth class of this common
wealth tho collector of school taxes
shall fully account for and pay over
to the treasurer of the school boards
tho total amount of taxes appearing
upon the duplicate 'furnished to him,
on or before the first day In June In
each year, less such amount as he
may be exonerated from by tho di
rectors and also less such amount of
unpaid taxes as is assessed and levied
upon real property in said school dis
trict upon which thero Is no personal
property out of which such school
taxes might havo been or could havo
been collected.

tlon which wbb launched last winter
for tho purposo of getting producers

000 to $150,000 and will not only
enrtblo farmers to sell direct to con
sumors through freight shipments,
but also to buy coal, fertilizers, 1m
piemonts anu otnor equipment, as
well as clothing and food.
Tho railroads will bo asked to as
sistant by means of quick service
and is the bottom hope to havo tho
association working by midsummer.
Ilnrrliiinn Estate Appraisal.
The final appraisal of tho estate of
tho lato Edward 'H. Harrlman, of
Arden, for tho purposo of determln
Ing tho amount of tansfer tax to be
paid to tho State, was made by the
official appraiser at Goshen last
week. It is estimated that the estate
Is worth one hundred millions. If
that is correct the tax will bo one
million. Nearly $800,000 lias al
ready been paid, that being the first
estimate of tho amount that would
uo requireu anu its payment per
mitted the long delay In settling the
matter.
ZEMO
MAKES ASTONISHING
ECZEMA CURES.
In One Accord for Alney.
The peoplo of tho Fourteenth Con
gressional District made no mistake
last fall when they elected Capt.
Wm. D. B. Ainoy to represent them
in Congress, says the New Mllford
Advertiser. During tho short tlmo
ho has been In Washington he has
made a record seldom equaled by a
new member In a full term. On sev
eral occasions ho has been heard
from in tho Interests of his constitu
ents, and It is gratifying to all who
havo watched his record to noto that
ho has voted right on every measure
that has come before the House.
Mr. Alney Is an eloquent and force
ful speaker and can command tho at
tention of his hearers on all occa
sions.
Now 'Milford people aro particular
ly Interested In Mr. Alney's success,
from tho fact that ho was born hero
and has always been closely Idcntl-
lled with tho Interests of tho town.
Mr. Alney will be renominated by
tho Republicans at tho April primar
ies without opposition, and his elec
tion In November Is as certain as any
futuro event can be. Voters of all
parties will rally to his support and
make his election practically unanimous.
