We notice by last week's High School Bulletin that a dumber of Ueverends and others have been making them selves very conspicuous with their de votional and chapel exercises about the public school. We think those persons atl very much out of placo there in that cs paoity or , occupation. If thoy wish to exercise tholr zeal lot them do as the Catholics do the world over uud as some of the Boots do in many plaevB : cam', net schools of their own when) thiy can air their views without Imposing on others or violating the laws of the land or charity, and not use our schools as a proselytiz ing Institution. Our schools should bo unsectarian. No priest, preachor, rabbi or Infidel propagandist has any business or right to conduct religious exercises there, and in doing so are certainly not follow ing the great commandment of love: Doing to others as they would be done by. We appeal to all religious enthus iasts, whether they have a Rev. prefix or not, as gentlemen, in the name of Justice to desist from such practice ; and to the school directors we appeal for honesty and justice and favors to none and ask them not to allow repre sentatives of any cult to conduct de votional exercises within our publlo school building or air their particular opinions before the pupils.

The British Medical Journal knows no politics; it 1b neither Liberal nor Conservative; Unionist nor Home Rulor Free Trader nor Protectionist, but where the publlo health is concerned it has a right to be hear!. It asks that candidates for Pari I me nt shall not, for the sake of catching votes, demean themselves by giving pledges for relaxa tion of those measures wb ich a century of world-wide experience proves to be the only reliable barrier against one of the most loathsome diseases that cim afflict humanity. It asks voters to refuse to be cheated of their votes by such mis statments as are being circulated ut Sleaford. And it asks members of the medical profession throughout the United Kingdom to do their utmost, each in his own locality tn prevent electors being deceived by atrl vaccinal candidates, and to prevent candidates boing deceived by local antl-vacclnatlon League as to what is and v bat Is not the truth about vacclna'Ion.

TAYLOR NORTH Addresses a Circular to His Constituents In Jefferson County. To the livptililieun Voters of Jtffenmn County : By reason of the fact that tho Legis lature of Pennsylvania Is now in extra ordinary session, and my duties as a member of Assembly will probably hold me at my post here until after the date set for the Republican Prlmarlos In Jefferson County, I find It impossible to make a personal canvass of the voters of the county In my own Interest as a candidate for re-election. The import ant measures, especially legislative apportionment, now pending demand my presence here even to my own dis advantage, for I hold that my duties to my constituents are of parat tount Im portance wbnn compared t my own Intorests in the coming primary con test. I therefore must content myself with this public appeal to my frionds for their support and assistance, hoping that the olrcumstunees will bo clearly understood by all. My record in the season of 11105 Is open to all, and I hold to the gratifying belief that I faithfully represented my constituency, and was as efficient therein as Is possible for any member Oiling his first term In the House. With the experience gained then and now being secured In this special ses sion, I feel confident that my ability for service has buen largely Increased, and that If honored with a re-nlectlon, I can be a much more useful representative In the session of 1907 than In the past. I have reason to be very grateful to tbe good people of Jefferson County for their kindness to me In the former election, and tbe manner In which they have supported mo, not only with their votes but also with their advice and counsel in carrying out their wisheB as their representative, and I shall make It my sole aim to worthily represent the Interest of our great county should I again be elected. Faithfully yours, 8. Taylor North, Jan. 29, 1900. A Bad Custom. W. O. Smith, editor of the PunxsU' tawney Spirit anil congressman from the Twenty-seventh district, announces In Washington that he will not be a can didate for re-election. In his district nomlnoes are chosen by three conferees from each of the counties of Armstrong, Clarion, Indiana and Jefferson. It has been customary for no congressman to ask for a third term. It is time for the Twenty-seventh district to shake off thecii8tom. Unless a congressman fills the place well one term Is too long ; If he has a record like Mr, Smith, he should not.be permitted to loaye until old age or ill health demands his resignation. Mr. Smith Is In tbe prime of his life and Is regarded as one of the ablest representatives of the state, lie should be returned to con gross by the Republicans of his district. Titusvllle Herald.

Teagorden has certainly been do ing a wonderful work In that communi ty and tho Kews only hopes i ud wishes the good work will go on. Punxsutaw ney JVeiM. Murray's Candidacy. James V. Murray, Eeq., or present efficient DlHtrict Attorney, Is a candi date for re-olectlon. There. Hre soveral good reasons why he should be his own successor, foremost among which Is that he has made a splendid official. He performed the duties of his office faithfully, efficiently, energetically and fearlessly. Instead of "farming" the offlco he worked for the interests of the people. He Is young and vigorous yet, and being willing to accept another term it would be good business to re-elect him. His experience will add to bis efficiency and make blm all the more valuable. Having proven himself com petent and worthy under the foe system it Is no more than just that he should be given a term at the fixed salary of 81,250 a year; which, meagre as It Is, is considerable more than the office for merly paid. Punxsutawney Spint. As Our Neighbor Sees It. At tbe recent Republican suggestion meeting In Roynoldsville the name of C. A. Stephenson, editor of the Royn oldsville Star was suggested for bur gess. In many quarters, where the ex treme modesty of tbe average news paper man Is not known, editors are supposed to want everything they havo a chance to get their hands on, but Brother Stephenson, In his last Issue, declines to stand for the proffered honor and in a card to the voters says: ''My aspirations have nover Inclined that way, and the mayoralty bee has never buzzed under my hat," which goes to show that there Is one editor In the county, at least, who Is both modest and wise. Brookville Republican.

White, Esq, of Rose township, as a candidate for the nomination for District Attorney at the Republican primary election to bo held February 20lh, 1906. We have known John, as we call him, from his youth to his admission to the Jefferson County Bar, and have watched his course on ward and upward ever since. We must say that when he chose tbe profession t.f law for his life work he male do mis lake. Nature endowed him with a bright, open and pleasing personalltv. a clean and accurate mind, good exeutlve ability, a high and refined sense of what Is honest and Just. Very fow members of the Bar, at his age, are so well quali fied to fill the office to which ho aspires. Ills nomination and election would be a guarantee tbat during his administra tion all criminal business would be con ducted and managed on the lines of Strict economy and good judgment It Is Mr. White's disposition to be thorough In his work, and judging from the past, he will take a special Interest in his of ficial duties and perform them as the law directs. He has always been a thorough, straight-forward Republican, an efficient worker, and at the same time he has not been an offensive par tisan. One of the strong traits of his character Is his loyalty to his friends and his high respect for tho rights of others; ho has been an energetio and progressive citizen, taking an active In terest in everything pertaining to the publlo good. In consideration of his many good qualities, strict integrity. excellent ability, strong personal friend ships, be will be a strong candidate be fore the people. Mr. White Is before tbe people of tbe county as a candidate for the first time. He Is a young man making an honest effort to advance In his profession the same as other boys of Jefferson county have done. The office has always been looked upon as a step- in g-s tone in tbat direction, and he Is therefore before the people asking them to give his claims to the Domination a fair, impartial and candid consideration Brookville Republican.
