Id speaking of Republican candidates
for tho Congressional Indorsement of
this county, Hon. W. O. Smith, editor
of tho Punxsutawney Spirit, who Is a
candidate himself, says: "Up to the
hour of going to press wo have hoard of
but three candidates spoken of for the
Congressional indorsement of Jofferson
county. They aro J. B. Hondorson, of
Brookville, and A. J, Truitt, Esq., and
W. O. Smith, of I'unxsutawney. Mr.
Henderson has not positively announced
his Intention of becoming a candidate,
nor has he said that he would not be.
We understand .that Mr. Truitt has
made up his mind to run, and we are
fully assured that Mr. Smith will sub
mit his caso to the people. While the
other asplrantB are both gentlemen of
character and calibre, against whom we
have nothing to say, we havo no hesi
tancy In assorting that we are for Smith.
We have reliable Information to the
effect that his chief object In wishing to
servo tho people tn the legislature was
to acquire tho training necessary to fit
him for Congress, and to uso that office
as a stopping stone to the highor posi
tion, and wo would not llko to see him
thrown overboard when ho is apparent
ly on e verge of realizing his ambi
tions. We would therefore ask our
friends to glvo Smith a kindly boost to
help to lund htm In Congress.
Inalocturo during the recent Institute
In Jefferson county, Dr. O. T. Corson,
of Columbus, Ohio, president of Nation
al Eduoatlonal Association, said: "Tho
business of tho home and of the school
is to build up character. The average
publlo school Is run with less friction
than the average homo. Moral train
ing should not be merely a name, as re
spect for home and school government
is the best safuty-guard a young man
may have. The home should stand by
the school. One of the greatest prob
lems Is not so much how to teach or
w hat to teach, but how to keep boys and
girls out of society long enough to pre
pare thorn for the right kind of society.
Few young people's nerves are destroyed
by over-work or over-study; but many
by loss of sleep and trying to fulfil) so
ciety requirements. Hard work seldom
kills. Thomas Edison could not belong
to a labor organization for he works
' many hours over time every day. The
schools are suffering from criticism by
those who never enter a school room,
just aa church troubles generally arise
from those who are least regular in at
tendance and pay the least for church
support. The home and the school
should oome luto friendly, sympathetic
touches. Each wave of progress tides
us on to a hlgherclvlllzatlon, which can
be traced to the home, the church and
the publlo school."

The following Is from the Forest
litliuhlkon, edited by Hon. J. E. Wenk,
who served two sessions In tho Legis
lature with Hon. W. O. Smith, and
ought to know what he Is talking about:
"The matter of the election of a new
Congress will again engross th atten
tion of the people this yoar, and soon
the candidates will be announced for
the nominating convontlona that will
be taking place early In the spring.
In this connection It Is Interesting to
note a now name that now and then Is
mentioned for such honors. As, for In
stance, that of Hon. W. O. Smith, of
Jefferson county, who will be a lending
factor in the canvass about to begin for
tho nomination of a Republican candi
date In the 21st district, composed of
Jefferson, Indiana, Armstrong and
Westmoreland counties. If every voter
were thoroughly acquainted with Mr.
Smith's peculiar fitness for this place,
and then wore us thoroughly truo to
his own Interests and the greatest good
to his own district, the mere annmincu
ment that ho would submit his name to
the Republicans for their consideration,
would bo sufficient to secure III in the
nomination without a slnglu further
effort. But of course this Is not the
caso, and there Is need therefore that
the candidate must acquaint his toople
with his claims in order to receive their
supMirt, and this is not always an easy
matter nor very pleasant thing for
him to do In his own behalf. Few men
In the State from the country counties
have bad a greater or more varied ex
perience, or better t-clioulliig In matters
of legislation than W. (). Smith, and
finely no man has gained morn wisdom
from that experience thnn he, all of
which would be turned to gsw account
for the benefit of his constituents were
he sent to Congress. The happy faculty
of making friends In tho leglslaturn was
one of his strong points, and we doubt
whothor any othor member bad so many
as ho during any of tho four sessions ho
passed at Harrlsburg. Through two of
these sessions the writer sat with Mr.
Smith in tho House and can testify to
his great worth to his people in the way
of getting favorable legislation through.
His efforts In behalf of tho miners, of
which the 21st district has thousands,
were Indefatigable, as was alio his work
for legislation favoring tho agricultur
ist. Mr. Smith was not eternally bor
ing the House with long-winded
speeches. What ho had to say In do
fonce of his legislation wns direct and to
the point, and his remarks wore always
attentively listened to and carried any
measure through that ho advocated.
We wouldn't give tho snap of our flngor
for all the howlers and ranters In Christ
endom, who are forever on their foot
playing to tho galleries. Evorybody
tires of them and their Influence Is al
ways a negative one. Tho quiet, earn
est worker, who keeps in touch with
the work of the committees, who makes
friends by his honesty and fairness, Is
the one who comes out of a leglslutl ve sos
Blon with the good things for his people.
The very namo of such a member Is a
guarantee to bis fellow members that
the measures he advocates are just and
fair, and always goes a long way toward
their enactment Into law. The plain
poople of Mr. Smith's district should de
mand his nomination. To them his
services will be Invaluable. He has a
wide experience; he makes friends who
In turn make him Influential; his am
bition to become a great statesman
would not get the bettor of him and bo
cloud his usefulness to his Immediate
constituency. His splendid work at
Harrlsburg Is a guarantee that his Con
gressional career would bo an honest,
faithful and consistent one. By all
means send W. O. Smith to Congress.
Ho Is needed there and more just like
him. Less talkers and more and better
workers."

Ms Pound Out.
A man who smokes four cigars a day
and chews 215 cent worth of tobacco
week, said he was too poor to take
a local paper. He Is a smart man, tool
And economical, well, I should smile.
This same fellow was getting a Maine
story paper and found that bv sending
dollar lie aould got a cure for drunk
enness. Sure enough he did. It was
"take the pledge and keep It." Later
on ho sent fifty two-cent stamps to And
out how to raise beets successfully. He
found nut. The answer came, "just
take hold and pull." Being single he
wished to marry and sent thirty-four
ono-cent stamps to a Chicago firm to
loarn how to make an Impression. When
the answer came It read, "sit down In a
pan of dough." That was a little rough
but he was a patient man and ho
thought be would succeed. The next
advertisement he read, "How to double
your money In six months." Ho was
told to convert his money Into bills, fold
them and he would see his money
doubled. But he was bound to get some
useful secret that ho could make money
on so ho sent $.1 to find out how to write
without pen and Ink. The answer was
"Try a lead pencil." Then he sent a
dollar to learn "how to get rich."
"Work like the Satan and novur
spend a cent." This was discouraging,
but ho decided to try just once more
and sent a two-dollar bill to learn how
to live without work and was told to
"fish for suckers as wo do." He takes
the homo paier and Is now happy. Ex.
