C. A. STEPHENSON, Editor and I'll b.
WEDNESDAY. APKIL 24, 1907.
The agricultural department, id mak
ing preparations to beln prosecutions
gainst the violators of the pure food
law as rood as the Inspector have ob
tained samples of the different articles
under suspicion.
Au exchange says: "The highest and
purest love for children is not found,
in the parent who uses liquor, tobacco,
profane and vulgar language, and thus
sets examples that dobaso, demoralize
and destroy, as they are taken up and
followed."
One of the things that town council
should do promptly is to put some kind
of a light in the alley to the lock-up. A
policeman ought not to be asked to plod
through the darkness with a prisoner,
and in some cases a half dozen "toughs'i
following after.
Many young people forget that "evil
communications corrupt good manners,"
and that good associations exert a most
beneficial influence. The society of re
fined and intelligent people should be
desired at all times in preference to
the vulgar and immoral.
The erection of a largemonument in
the Reynoldsville cemetery In honor of
the soldier dead is the right thing to
do, and every loyal American citizen in
this community should be willing to
contribute something towards paying
for the monument. A large monument
on top of hill in the cemetery would
proclaim to the strangers passing by
that we appreciate the sacrifices made
and hardships endured by the soldiers.
A number of the county and state
" newspapers are referring to Senator
John S. Fisher, of Indiana, senator from
" Jefferson -Indiana county 'district, as a
'.' probable candidate for the Republican
' nomination for state, treasurer to suc
ceed William H. Berrr "ooator Fisher,
who is chairman of the state capltol
investigating commission, is coming
prominently before the people of Penn
sylvania and would not be a stranger to
the voters of the state if he decides to
be a candidate.' Senator Fisher is a
bright and clean young man and would
make a good state treasurer.
The Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg
railroad has applied to the 'New York
' state railway commission for authority
to mortgage the road and stock to cov.
' er an issue of bonds amounting to
135,000,000. Under this issue of bonds
$3,000,000 is to be used for improve
ments, 18,000,000 to refund the present
indebtedness and the remainder to be
issued when the trust oompany feels
satisfied that the road has acquired
property equal in value to the amount
to be issued. The first issue will be
made in 1908. Among the improve
ments are double tracking the line be'
. tween Punxsutawney and Ashford.
. "There has been exhibited from time
to time In this country, and that far too
' often, a maudlin and uncalled for sym
' pathy for criminals of a certain class,"
says the Punxsutawney News. "If a
man commits some common crime, like
larceny or burglary, but little notice is
taken of the affair. Let a man, how.
ever, oommit a murder, in which a
woman is in some way involved, or any
matter of a sensational nature be con
neoted therewith, at once a wave of un
reasoning sympathy sweeps over the
land. The newspapers are filled with
it. The criminal is represented as the
victim of moral insanity. He is more
sinned against than sinning. He is un'
deserving of punishment, he becomes a
hero in his own estimation and a mar
tyr in the eyes of. his maudlin sympa
thizers. Courts and juries are con
demned because they have found him
guilty, and governors are cursed if they
will not commute bis sentence or par
don him entirely."
There are some people who neglect
to pay their subscription for a newspa
per until they are in arrears four or five
years, or more, and then when request
ed to pay up are provoked because they
are so far in arrears, and to get even
with the editor for trusting them so
long, they have their names taken off
the subscription list and borrow their
neighbor's paper. In fifteen years ex
perience editing a newspaper we have
not met many such people, but occasion
ally have found one. . Some people
would get hopping mad if their paper
was stopped without their requesting
it. They take it as a reflection on
their honesty; think the editor is afraid
to trust them. While on the other
hand some who get four or five years
behind with payments are mad because
the paper was not stopped. Therefore,
the editor of a paper cannot please
everybody. Subscribers should not
forget, however, that men are not en
gaged in newspaper work for their
health, as it is not a real healthy avo
cation, but that "filthy luore," "coin of
the realm," or plainly speaking, money
is a necessary thing to keep a news
paper running. Paper and other stock
has to be paid for, employes expect pay
for their work, in fact everybody seems
'to think an editor should pay for what
he gets, so you see money is an essen
tisl thing in the business.

good gas well. It is a 150 pound pres
sure well with a good volume. There
is plenty of gas in it to run the Pitts

( Washington Twp. High School.
Seven or eight years ago the Wash
ington township high school was
started with considerable opposition,
but the school has been so successful
that the one room building erected for
the high school is now too small and at
a meeting of the school board last week
it was decided to tear down the present
one-story building and erect a building
large enough for two school rooms on
the first floor and an auditorium on the
second floor. The new building will be
erected on the site of the old building
near the Beech woods Presbyterian
church. The board also decided to in
crease the school course from two to
four years, so that a graduate of the
Washington township high school will
be prepared to enter college. The high
school has become quite an incentive
for pupils of the common schools to
work bard to be promoted to high
school. We believe every township
should have a high school and the state
has appropriated a certain sum for high
school work. The high school in Wash
ington township cost the township less
than $150.00, aside from the state ap
propriation for the last term. The
graduating exeroIseB of this high school
was held in the Beechwoods Presbyter
lan church on the 12th Inst, and a large
audience attended, notwithstanding the
bad conditions of the roads. The exer
cises were excellent.
