The governor has signed an act of
Assembly niaklnf? U illegal to sell, or
fclve, or cause to be sold or glv-n,
cigarettes or cigarette paper to minors.
It should be carefully noted that each
violation of this law is punished by a
fine of at least $100. Dealers should
note, and be careful.
Hon. W. O. Smith, of Punxsutawney,
who was a member of the state legis-
lature several terms as a representative
from JelTer9on oounty, and who served
two terms in the National Congress, is
being urged by a number of his friends
to be a candidate for Congress next
year. Ex-Congressman Smith has not
fully decided yet whether to concede to
the request of his friend and be a can
didate or not. Mr. Smith has certainly
bad the experience to enable him to
give the people good service in Con
gress. A new man is so thoroughly
handicapped that no matter how brilli
ant he may be or how hard he may
work, he cannot be of much service to
his constituents until he has served
several terms. The custom of the
house has made it impossible for a
congressman to be appointed on Impor
tant committees until he has served
three or four terms. There are some
k men in Congress who have been mem-
. bers of that body twenty, and as high
as thirty years
Reynoldsville's willingness lo offer
liberal inducements to manufactures to
locate plants here is beginning to
attract attention aboard. Manufactur
ers are beginning to visit our town to
investigate the opportunities and it
would be strange indeed if several
large plants are not located here in the
next few years.
Wednesday of last week a represent
atlve of one of the largest wood work
ing establishments in the TTnittd States
made a special visit to U ynoldsviUtf tO

plant here. He spent the day Vtatcitfff

some of the representatKe . business
leaders of town. ;.NV"Jr' the K'ad
hand was extended everywhere and

ed to .make' &f . proposition, the Jocal
people,, "d . willingly meet it half

rth . the town and in leaving
: '-"proii.tsed' that when a deoislon is
vr 'V nall made, Keynoldsville would stand
. very favorable chance of securing the
Industry.
In discussing the project, the gentle
man stated that a plant employing
about sixty men was being considered
and they asked little or nothing in the
ways of taking stock or bonds. A free
site and first-class shipping facilities
were the chief requisites.
In a speech at the Jamestown Expo
sition recently President Roosevelt
said: "Since I have been President I
have visited every state and territory
within the borders of the Union, save
such as can only be reached by sea.
have traveled from the Atlantic to the
Pacific from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf. I have spoken at country fairs,
to colleges, to commercial and business
organizations, to associations of pro
fessional men, to labor organizations, to
men of every creed and parentage
The thing that has struck me most has
been the essential oneness, the essential
unity of our people. In the fundament
als I have found American citizens to
be just about the same everywhere. In
whatever locality of the country we
live, whatever our fortune or occupa
pation in life, there exist just about the
same essential gooo qualities and much
the same shortcomings in any gather
ing of our citizens. Of course, each
community has its especial temptations,
its especial shortcomings; and if it is
wise each community will try to cure
itself rather than to cause heartburn
ings by railing at the shortcomings of
Bister community. There is ample
field for the reform energies of every
one of us in his or her particular sphere
of home and neighborhood activity.
Not only is all of this true as between
one community and another, but it is
. just as true between one class of our
citizens and another. Now and then
we meet well-meaning people who have
a genuine horror and dread of all rich
men and think of them as being set
apart by peculiar rice and iniquity.
Now and then we meet equally well
meaning rich men who have an equally
irrational oresd of those whom they
style "labor leaders." In each case I
think the hostility is in large part due
to want of sympathy caused by com
plete Ignorance of the men who arouse
such distrust or anger. As matter
of fact, if we take given number of
men of large fortune and a like num
ber of wage-workers, we find that in
their essential human nature they are
all alike. In each group we find men as
wise and foolish, as good and as bad as
in the other group. Such being the
case it is well that, so far as possible,
when the men of a given group, as
a whole, act in a way that we deem
contrary to the public interest, we
should treat the action as a wrong to be
remedied rather than as a wrong to be
avenged."

Three million dollars on hand from
the appropriation made by the legis
lature in 1905 for the improvements
of the roads in Pennsylvania, and six
million more appropriated by the last
legislature, making nine millions In all,
made it look as if there would be big
improvements on the public highways
this year and next, but Gov. Stuart has
changed the aspect greatly by cut
ting five million off the six million
appropriated during the last session,
leaving but four million, instead of nine
million, available for the next two
years. This will most likely delay the
public road improvements in Wlnslow
township and the paving of Main street
in this borough from Seventh street to
borough line.

Untimely Death,
"When I was city editor of the
Virginia City Enterprise," remarked
Mark Twain at a dinner in New York,
"a fine turkey was one day left at the
office. Turkeys were rare in that high
al'itude, and we all hankered after this
bird. The proprietor, though, claimed
it for his own. He took It home and
had it cooked for dinner. The next
day, as he was expatiating on the
turkey's richness and tenderness, a
letter was handed to him. He opened
it and read:
"Mr. Editor: Yesterday I Bent you a
turkey which bas been the cause of
much dispute among us. To settle a
bet will you kindly ask your agri
culture editor to state in to-morrow's
iBaue what it died of."
He Fired the Stick.
"I have fired the walking stick I've
carried over 40 years, on account of a
sore that resisted every kind of treat
ment until I tried Bucklen's Arnica
Salve; that bas healed the sore and
made me a happy man," writes John
