FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
Prof. J ihn F. Comad Will be a Candi
date for This Important Position.
Prof. John F. Conrad, a former
teaoher in the public schools of
Brook vllle, now principal of the
Punxsutawney High School, was
among: our callers during the part
week. Prof. Conrad, although an
! exceedingly busy man, Is finding a
little time between school sessions In
which to present himself to the di
rectors and patrons of the schto's of
the county as a candidate for county
superintendent, to succeed the in
eumbent, Prof. L. Mayne Jone, who
is now filling- out Prof. R. B Te.it
rlck's unexpired term through ap
pointment, and whose successor will
D6 elected by the school directors of
the county next June. Prof. Conrad
was a candidate for this position two
years ago, and ul though the jicislon
at that time wan against him, hU
address before the directors' conven
tion was i graceful acceptance of the
verdict, mid a promiso that he wou'd
again enter the contest at this time.
Since tlio directors' convention of
two years ago Mr. Conrad's position
as an educator has received a hand
some indorsement in his election to
the prlnclpalshlp of the Punxsutaw
ney High School, this action follow
ing the consolidation of the boroughs
ef Punxsutawney and Clayvllle, in
the schools of which latter town he
had served as principal for a number
of years, and he now comes before
the directorate of the county with a
record of service second to none In
the county. Personally, Prof. Con
rad is too well known throughout the
ounty to need extended Introduction.
He Is a young man of character and
ability who has devoted bis entire
life to the problems of school work
and who Is qualified by tempera
ment and training to make a success
ful county superintendent, and should
he be called to this Important work
the high standard of educational
achievement In Jefferson county at
tained by his predecessors would in
no wise deteriorate under bis admin
istration. Brookvllle Republican.

A GROWING SENTIMENT,
Disposition of the People Is to Re
ward a Faithful Seivant.
Just now there Is a general feel
fng, that, in the public service, work
faithfully and well performed should
be rewarded. This spirit Is mani
fest Id the demand for the re-noml-nation
of President Roosevelt for the
third term a demand which keeps
the popular executive bu9y with his
refusals to consider the proposition
and which goes to show the desire
on the part of the peoplo to cling
fast to that which they know Is good.
The idea tbat public office Is a chat
tel, to bd pissed around to as many
pnople as possible, Is not as popular
as it. was some years ago, the voters
having come to real'ze that but a
small percentage of the population,
at bst, can ever serve in a public
position, and that It Is tho part of
wisdom in public service, as In private
business, to hold fast to an em
ployee who has proven himself ca
pable, and who has demonstrated
himself to be possessed of thoso prin
ciples and fairness and justice neces
sary to make him an Ideal public
servant. This observation is orougot
about at this time through the an
nouncement by our popular Sheriff,
Grant Scheafnocker, of bis intention
to seek the Republican nomination
for county treasurer at the primary
election next April. Mr. Scheaf
nocker Is now serving In the posi
tion of Sheriff, by virtue of an elec
tion by the people, and in the con
duct of the affairs of his office be
has been uniformly able, courteous
and obliging a real servant of the
people and anxious to do their bid
ding. There has been about him
none of the arrogance of the perpetu
al office-bolder and bis ambition to
be named as treasurer at this time
111 find many supporters among
those who believe that faithful ser
vice should be rewarded. Mr. Scheaf
nocker proposes to make an active
campaign in the presentation of his
case to the voters and bis marked
personal popularity and official
friendships will make blm a formid
able candidate for the position to
which be aspires. Brookvllle Re
publican.
A Candidate for Treasurer.
Mr. W. H. Bell, of Reynoldsville,
one of the good Republicans of the
county who is Interested right particu
larly In what is going to be done with
the Republication nomination for ooun
ty treasurer, at the regular nominating
election next April, his name having
been quite generally used among those
of the leading candidates for that nomi
nation, was In town on Friday and fav
ored the Republican with a friendly
call. It is pleasing, indeed, to refer to
our young Reynoldsville friend as being
a Republican of the best sort, one of
those royal good fellows who is bound
to break away from his every day du
ties In order to do some thing for his
party and his friends, and It is. safe to
say thai should the nomination for
county treasurer go to him next April,
It will be but a fitting reward for bis
loyalty and devotion to the grand old
Republican party, and his record as one
of Reynoldsvllle'8 enterprising citizens
Brookvllle Republican.
