K. church in Lock Haven, preached a patriotic sermon Sunday ' 'morning on "The Present War," which we had the pleasure of listening to. Dr. said, "This Is tho moat righteous and unselfish war tho world has ever . known." Tho difference of time between the United States and the countries involved in tho present war, is as follows: Hav ana's time la thirty minutes earlier than ours: Madrid is four hours and forty two minutes earlier; tho Canaries aro about four hours oarlior, and tho Phil lppines are eleven hours and fifty-one . minutes en flier. There aro but two prisoners confined in the Klk county jnil at present, a state of affairs which has not existed in that county for years. Evidently Klk is on her good1 behavior. Kane Jlipnbhrtin. The double hanging job In that county last month ought to have a good effect on the morals of the county for a couple of months at least. Spain has a population of about 10, 000,000, and of those, according to a recent report of the Spanish govern ment, nearly 8,000,000 profess no occupa tion. Grandees and beggars alike toll. There are nearly 100,000 registered beggars, half of them females, in this poor, little land, and one third of the entire population is entirely unlettered. The "ancient social canker" of contempt , for work and workers, has eaten the life from Spain. Some One has said, "True hospitality has its origin in the heart, and beauti fies, like the sunlight upon the cloud, everything It touches." Entertainment given with genuine hospitality means more than the mere feeding of the body it means a royal interchange of the gifts of the soul. This is the highest compensation which' the intelligent mind can bestow or receive. It Is pre' eminently social In Its manifestations and tendencies, and wherever it strews its fruitage there you will find happy hearts and happy dwellings.' L Before many weeks the school direct ors of this borough will elect a principal for ahe next term of school, and there Is little "doubt but that Prof. G. W, Lenkerd, who has been so successful with our schools for two terms, will be re-elected. Prof. Lenkerd has been tried and proven to bo a good man for the prinolpalshlp and we would suggest at the next eleution of tho board Prof, Lenkerd be elected for a three year term. This is done In other towns where the principal has been tried and succeeds for one ' or two terms-. It is not a wise step for a school board to take until a man has boon given a trial but If he proves a success then it is the proper thing to do, as It gives the prin oipal aprstige with the teachers and pupils that be might not have wlion hired a year, at a time. We believe that if this matter was put to a vote from the citizens that Prof Looker would be elected for a three year term by a big majority. Our schools have reached that standard that pupils must study -to be promoted and this requires a doner' application to the books than 'aomo pupils like, and they might be pleased to aee a change in prinolpalshlp, ' hoping thereby to get through school without hard work, not oaring anythini for the knowledge if they can get from 'one room to another without studying, Under the present management they must study or not be promoted. We have no "axo to grind" but honestly t jlieve, ail thing considered," that it would be wisdom on the part of the cbool board, and for the best Interests .
