A Voice of Dissent.
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.

Eliminates Health From Politics.
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. The

8. 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,

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.

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.

A Few Words Concerning the Candidacy
of John M. White.
We are pleased to make Bpeclal com
ment on the appearanoe of the official
announcement of John M. 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
