V. O. SMITH,
Pnhjeet tonrllonof the Hepubllcans of Jef

day, Ken. -. IMM.
For state sknate
JOHN S. FISH Ell,
Of Indlnnu, subject to action of Republicans
of Jefferson county at the prlmnry election,
February 30. IW.
If the scriptural injunction, that if a
man will not work noithcr nhB.ll he eat,
were enforced in those days, thre
would bo a lot ot hungry people.
Soorotary Hamilton, of the Depart
ment of AKiioiiilurc of lVnnsylvanla,
says that tho farmers of Pennsylvania
are the best housed, tho best fed, and
the best paid as well an the most inde
pendent, of the majority of our citizens.
In 1S70 an net was passed that the
term of township officer should begin on
the first Monday in March, and that
township uuditors shall meet on the
second Monday in March to audit ac
counts except school directors and
school treasurers. In a similar
act was passed relating to borough of
ficers and auditors. So the time for
township and borough auditors to meet
to settle these accounts is on the second
Monday of March of each year.
"Every woman in her heart loves a
rogue," w as an old saying to tho correct
ness of which I heard a feminine vouch
the other day. Judging from tho man
ner In which some women act, there Is
more than a little truth in it. We
don't have to go away from Lock Haven
to find members of the fair sex lavishing
their affections, or what pass for such,
on beings who are so vicious, or, per
luips, contemptible and generally worth
less, that to call tbem men Is almost to
be guilty of prevarication. But then,
the ways of women are past finding out.
-Lock Havon Expivux. Ditto in Royn
Ulsvllln. Out In Milcobiug, Centro Co., a
daughter of ono of the board of directors
wus an upplicunt for the position of
tencher of one of the borough schools.
Ex-Judge Furst, who Is counsel for the
board, was asked to give advice, and
his opinion was that It was "contrary to
law." Boards of directors in othor lo
calities have elected children of mem
bers to teacher's positions. Among
other things he says: "Directors are
not elected by the citizens for the pur
pose of giving any official advantage
over any one else. In othor words It Is
a violation of the official relation of
school director to use the office for the
purpose of personal, political or family
Interests." Jiwlirt of the Peace.
It scorns almost inorediblo that In the
neighborhood of $40,000 In actual cash
should have been confided to misdirect
ed loiters during the last year, and
harder still to credit that the most ex
haustive efforts have failed to find the
owners of one-fourth of this amount.
Tho envelopes which are addressed are
kept on file for four years, blank ones
not so long, but in either case a liberal
margin of time is allowed for claimants
to appear before the money is finally
turned into the treasury to the credit
of the postofflce department. In addi
tion to the money contained In letters
during the same period, something like
$10,000 was found loose In the mails. It
Is officially styled "loose money."
On uccount of having reoeived the
'Congressional endorsement of Jefferson
county two years ago, and gone into
the convention with a strong following,
Bon. W. O. Smith, If he receives the
endorsement of the county again at the ;
coming primaries, will be the strongest
uandldute to come before the convention
and will undoubtedly receive the Re
publican nomluation of the Twenty-first
district. No other cuudidute in Jeffer
son county can go Into the convention
with as strong olalms upon the nomina
tion as Mr. Smith, and to instruct for
any other person would be simply a
matter of throwing away a chance to
elect a Congressman on the part of Jef
ferson county.
Mr. Smith is not only the strongest
man to count before the convention, but
Is really especially fitted for the position
on account of bis vast experience In
legislative mutters. Ho would step into
a seat in CJongress with the grace of an
old member, and would thus be able to
aueompllsb without delay thlugs that a
. loss xperlencud man would require
months of time to accomplish. While
the Hcruld . fols oonfident that Mr.
' Smith will be Jefferson's choice for
Congress, it would like to see Mr. Smith
receive the compliment he deserves by
giving .him a rargo majority. Falls

John 8. Fisher for Striate.
Below we publish a letter written to
Indiana Vmyrr by a South Mahoning,
Indiana county, farmer which gives a
brief history of John 8. Fisher, Esq., of
Indiana Pa., candidate for State Senator
In this district:
I beg your permission to have this
letter inserted In the columns of your
valuable paper. At tho outset, I want
to be frank with your readers by saying
that T write this communication In the
Interest of my young friend, John 8.
Fisher, who is a candidate for statn sen
ator. I am a farmer and have lived in South
Mahoning township for more than fifty
years and during all that time have
been the neighbor and friend of tho
Fisher family.
For many years I served In tho capac
ity of school director and during that
time was brought in close touch with
young Fisher. He wus born about the
close of the war and spent his young
days as a helper on the farm of his
father. I remember him as a pupil In
the public schools and was always In
terested in watching his progress.
In school he was bright and capable.
In early life he gave promise of the suc
cess he subsequently attained. He left
the farm in his young manhood, and
went to Indlunn, and lived in the home
of the Hon. A. W. Taylor, who was one
of the most respected citizens of our
county. He did chores for Mr, Taylor
and attended the Indiana high school,
from which he graduated In 1HX4. I re
member then that he entered tho Nor
mal school, from which he graduated in
lHHtl, ranking among the best In his
class. He came back to his native town
ship and began life on his own account
as a teacher in our public schools. Dur
ing the three years he taught in our
school, it is only justice to him to say
that he ranked at the head of a corps
of the best teachers in the county.
During the summer time he gathered
together and taught the Normal Acad
emy at Plumville. These scholars were
made up of young men and women who
were securing an education. I know
our schools never flourished more than
they did while he was with us.
In the fall he left us and secured a
position as assistant principal of the
Indiana high school. Ho made his way
there as he did in our township. In
18ltl he was advanced to prinelpalshlp
of the Indiana high schools, at the head
of which he remained until ho resigned
In the fall of 181)3.
During the time ho taught school, he
prepared himself for admission to the
bar. I believe he read law in tho ofllco
of Samuel Cunningham, Esq., who is
admitted to bo one ol the strongest
practitioners at our county seat.
Soon after his admission he formed a
partnership with Mr. Cunningham,
which has continued up to this time.
All this has been gratifying to mysolf,
as well as all the neighbors, who bolieVo
In recognizing merit and honest en
deavor wherever it shows itself.
I am proud of tho success he has
made, and believe that such young men
should bo encouraged. These are the
kind of men who should uke part in
our public affairs.
I know ho is a young man of integri
ty, good character, substantial worth,
and can be relied upon to do tho right
thing under all circumstances.
So far as I know he has never been a
candidate for office before. I recall
that he represented our county as a del
egate to the state convention in 1897,
and was unanimously re-elected in 181)8.
In both campaigns he proved himself to
be energetio and capable.
I have been prompted to write this
letter because I feel that it is only doing
justice to a worthy young man who has
made his way through life by his own
exertions and by reason of a well
equipped mind.
