never foiyet the important servlccB
rendered by William Orlando Smith,
Representative from JefTerson county
in tho House of Representatives, in so
curing; the passage of thn new Libel law,
which puts newspaper men on a par
with tho other citizens of tho State.
Mr. Smith had Borvcd four terms In the
House with great credit, In a practical
printer, editor of tho I'unxsutawney
Spirit, one of tho leading newspapers of
that section of tho state, and a man
who Is respected everywhere for Ilia
abilities and personal worth. Mr.
Smith U one of those quint men who
achieved leadership, not, by bin own
efforts, but because ho is looked up to
by his associates. In tho recent legis
lature he was the author of the Libel
bill, iU chief exponent anil defender,
and though his own measure was slight.
ly amended, ho secured practically all
that tho newspaper men of this State
want, and he Is deserving of their last
ing gratitude. Tho Stato Editorial
Association made no mistake in select
ing him to champion this measure. It
could not have passed finally without
his quiot but earnost and effective
support. Newspaper men of Pennsyl
vania, take off your hats to Smith of
Jefferson, an excellent editor, a charm
ing gentlemen, and a forceful legislator,
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tho fnitriVr, a narrow-gttugod-dhoot
published at DuBois, Pa., was very
much exorcised over what It claimed to
consider an attempt on the part of Firo
Co. No. I, of Reynoldsvlllo, to hood
wink tho dear public by getting a crowd
to come to Roynoldsville through "fake"
advertisements. On Friday morning,
July 2nd, the Courier used up almost a
column of its valuable (?) space, double
leaded, to warn the public of Reynolds-
ville's Intention to defraud tho peoplo.
Tho Courier began its wonderful
production thusly: "In the light of
duty to the publlo tho Courier offors
some explicit statements horewith,
divested entirely of holiday bombast,
without the spirit of rivalry and for
the defense of legitimate public enter
prise." Hereafter it will not be
necessary to refer to George Washing
ton for an example of truthfulness,
Just mention the (Wrier. To tho
citizens of Keynoldsville It was very
plain that the Cinirii-r'n only object was
to keep the people away from our town
on Saturday, July 3rd, and get them to
DuBois on the 5tb and Utb. This fact
is too plain for the narrow-gaugo-sheet
to explain away. In the big headings,
over the article referred to, the I'ounVr
did not forget to state that there would
be "balloon races at DuBois Monday
and Tuesday." The Roynoldsville
people were justly Indignant that the
Courier would try to lessen the crowd at
Roynoldsville by publishing such an
article the day before our celebration
and yet they were not much surprised
because the paper in the past has been
on just such friendly terms with our
town when DuBois is interested in any
way. This was a baby trick. However,
the Courier' article had as much in'
tluenoe over the public as that paper
generally bos and Roynoldsville bad an
immense crowd on July iird. The
double loaded article was uncalled for
and it did the Courier no good.

Electric Bitteis.
Electric Bitters Is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps mora
genially needed when the languid, ex-
niiusied leenng prevails, wnen me liver
Is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alterative Is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the miliaria poison. Headache,
indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield
to Electric Bitters, 'ille. and I.UO per
bottle at H. Alex. Stoke's drug store.

of much of our admiration. The slang
that sho usually uses Is vulgar, without
possessing a single saving graco. Tho
use of slang by peoplo who have lan
guage adequate to all their needs Is of
course a narrowing influence, though
an occasional lapse is sanctioned by
even such a purist as Dr. Holmes."
