SMITH M. M CKEHIHT, KSCJ.
toruey, who was a candidate at that
time, Smith kept the "boo" under his

"boo" has baun given its froedom this
spring and it js now stirring things up
pretty lively all over the county for
McCrelght.
Smith M. McCrelght was born in
Winslow township, Jefferson county.
The son of Thomas S. McCrolgbt, de

Uupublicans from the days of the
grandfathers down to the present time.

Winslow township, taught sohool two
terms in that township and one term in
Westmoreland county. He graduated
In the Grove City College with the

Logical, eloquent, clear-headed,
warm hearted, and enthusiastically
devoted to ber chosen work Is Mrs.
Florence D. Richards, ot Ohio, the
temperanoe lecturer and champion of
humanity. She was at Good Templar's
Hall yesterday afternoon and .the house
was so full that not another chair could
be placed. Her wonderfully realistic
and pathetlo stories of the misery
caused by rum brought tears streaming
from the eyes of aged men and boys,
who sat with earnest faces and a look
not encouraging to the future profits
of the liquor traffic Throughout the
discourse everyone present gave the
speaker their undivided attention.
Some of the older men signified their
approval by frequently shouting, "Yes,
yes," to ber most thrilling ejaculations.

REFORM FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Ministerial Association Presents Pro
gram With No Flowers or
Ostentation.
Reforms In funeral customs are urged
by the Ministerial Association of Mars
and Valencia, Butler Co., which has
adopted the following as an expression
ot its attitude:
That bodies of deceased persons are
entitled to a decent, respectable,, Chris
tian putting away and nothing more.
That Sabbath funerals, Interfering
as they do with proper Sabbath ob
servance, should be avoided as far as
possible.
That one minister at a funeral is
sufficient, more than this) tending to
needless ostentation.
That church funerals should be dis
couraged, being unsanitary and minis
tering only to show and display.
That a funeral Is properly conducted
by reading a passage of Scripture, fol
lowed by prayer. In case a discourse or
oration Is desired no mention should be
made of the dead except perhaps the
reading of a brief biography prepared
by friends and handed to the officiating
minister.
That flowers, while being a beautiful
means of showing respect to the llvlrg,
are out of place on the casket of tbe
dead.
That tbe promenade "viewing tbe re
mains," being but a relic of barbarism
tending only to morbid curiosity, op
posed to all rules of sanitation and
bygiono, as well as good form and
taste, should be prohibited.
Tbat strict adherence to state and
local sanitary laws should be observed,
especially In cases of contagious and
Infectious diseases. .

ney, whose announcement as a candi
date for the llepublloan nomination for
district attorney will be found in
another column, was born and raised In
Young township, Jefferson county, bis
people being among the early settlers
In that region. His father died when
he was fourteen years of age and the
subject of this Bketch was compelled to
make his way In life upon bis own re
sources. He was schools! in bis home
township, later graduating from the
law department of Dickinson College,
and entering upon the practloe of law
In Punxsutawney, where he bas met
with gratifying success. Mr. Long has
carried into the practice of his profes
sion the same energy, ability and love
of labor which characterized his boy
hood, and be has been fired by an hon
orable ambition for a useful career, in

Now Up to the Voters.
A second Legislature having ap
proved the proposed amendments of
the State Constitution fur the abolition
of the February elections, tbe propo
sition will be Bubmitted to the voturs
next September, and if approved by a
majority the amendments will become
effective, and there will be no more
"spring" elections after those of next
Fobruary.
Tbis means that municipal officers
will be elected In November, as are
county and state officers. It is not
deemed advisaole. however, tbat these
should be elected at the same time, and
the amendments, thorefore, provide
that the election of the city, borough
and township officers shall take place
in the odd numbered years. In order
to accomplish this, all three year terms,
such as the Auditor General's, aie In
creased to four years, and tn one in
stance, tbe State Treasurer, a two year
term is made, four years. City and
oounty officers from ono to two year,
and aldermen and justices of the peace
from five to six years, -Tr.e various
ohangos will result In extending the
terms of many men now In office. '

Mitchell's Opinion
Of the Legislature
Completely Dominated By The
Organization and Country
l , Members Ignored.
Representative J. G. Mitchell was in
town on Saturday on bis way home
from Harrisburg. During the legis
lative session just closed Mr. Mitchell
allied himself with the reform element,
opposing all Inurease of salaries and
and extravigfint expenditures of the
State's money, Incliid.ng the crotsetate
highway, and tbe eapltol park exten
sion. He says tbe legislature of 1909
was completely dominated by the two
big cities, forming a compaot and
bomogenlous majority that took orders
like so many soldiers and gave them
selves little concern whether a measure
was right or wrong, so long as It bore
tbe endnrsi ment of the recognized
leaders.. Punxsutawney Sprit.
Tuberculosis Among the Indians.
FreBh air and sunshine are the great
preventatives and curatives. Consump
tion cannot maintain ahold upon people
who take plenty of pure oxygon into
their lungs waking and sleeping Tu
berculosis In any of Us forms Is extreme
ly rare among the Indians, inot entire
ly unknown to them before the advent
of the whites. Like the negroes and
other members of favHge races tbat
have bebn brought under the Influence
of civilization the aborigines of this
continent displayed an unusual degree
of susceptibility to pulmonary diseases.
Since the Indian has commenoed to
change the manner of his life, taking
Insufficient exercise, overclothing him
self, consuming alcohol and HvlDg In a
stuffy loaf cabin, tuberculosis has laid a
constantly Increasing boll upon him,
so that now it is much more frequently
manifest In the red man than in his
white neighbor. C'rutsmun.
Will Erect New Church,
The officials of tbe Brookville Me

quarterly conference, concluded to pro
ceed with the building of the new
