PA., MARCH 3, 1908 Foster School Board. All members of the Foster township school board were present Saturday evening at the regular session of that body, except Director Doudt. President Johnson turned over to Treasurer O'Nell $5 received from the county commissioners as election rent for the use of the Sandy Run school. Some time ago the board decided that this sum was not sufficient compensa tion for the use of school buildings for election purposes and the money was accepted in the hope that the commis sioners will pay the §lO per building as asked by the board. The president stated that ho had been informed by a citizen of the township that coal was being stolen in bags from the Sandy valley building. When asked to prosecute the offenders and earn the 810 reward offered by the board for such offenses the man refused. No further action was taken. The new lock ordered on the door of the Woodside building was procured and placed and the keys for the same were distributed to the directors. The report of Tax Collector Abe Lentz was submitted by his secretary, J. A. Alden. and showed the following: Total amount of duplicate, 811,241.56; paid to treasurer. §0,388.50; balance to collect., subject to abatements, exonerations, etc., §1,000.02. A communication from I)r. VV. 11. DeardorlT, secretary of Freeland Hoard of Health, in relation to preventing the spread of scarlet fever at Upper Lehigh, was read and accepted.

Director Keller was ordered to look after replacing shutters that were broken at Eckley and Foundryville. The president and secretary were asked to lill out the application of J. V.

It is at least gratifying to learn that the Republicans are beginning to real ize that protection needs a "handmai den." It has had much wet nursing.— Gretna (Neb.) Breeze. The day of high tariffs is doomed. The business of a nation cannot be all sell and no buy. Watch the little Chi nese wall advocates and "home mar ket" propagandists tumble over them selves to get into line with public sen timent. But trouble is yet to come. "Our infant industries" have a fat thing, and they are not going to give it up without a struggle. It remains to be seen how much longer their "in fluence" in congress will compel the people to pay tribute to the trusts. — The Commoner. It is idle to talk of tariff reform com ing through the Republican party. It is tantamount to saying that the Re publican party will deliberately take its own life. Anyone who expects this is doomed to be disappointed. The Re publican party has fattened and flour ished because it fostered high pro tective tariffs. Its life blood, its every pulse beat depends upon the continu ance of this policy. It is the veriest bosh, therefore, to expect that the tar iff will be refarmed through the in strumentality of the Republican party. Tariff reform can only come through a. united Democracy.—Cadillac (Mich.) Democrat. SHORT TALKS Brief Comment on Political and Other Matters of Public Interest. When we attempt to tell the little brown men that we are so deeply in terested in their welfare that we are spending millions of dollars to shoot our love into them they will credit us with being the worst gang of double jointed hypocrites that ever walked the earth, and when we add to this that other stupid invention that Provi dence is assisting ua to do them up they will wonder what sort of heathen god we worship. The ruling of the postofßce depart ment in refusing Mr. Bryan's Common er the regular mailing privileges is'too contemptible to be properly character ized. The alleged reason for refusing sample copies of the Commoner to go at regular pound rates is that Mr. Bryan is interested in what his paper teaches. When Charles Emory Smith berates Quay, Penrose and the gang week after week in the Philadelphia Press has he any interest in what he preaches or is he doing it without mo tive. purpose or interest? This idiotic ruling, if carried out, would shut out any paper whose writers had any con science. To say that the editor of any paper is not interested in the success of the doctrines he may advocate is to denounce him as a hypocrite or a fool. This silly attempt to work a hardship on Mr. Bryan will react on those weak enough to engage in so contemptible a scheme. • • • • Judge Shiras, of the United States court, is about to retire to private life, where in the opinion of many he ought, for the good of the country, to have remained. His sudden flop on the income tax ought to condemn him for all time. He betrayed the cause of the common people into the hands of the plutocrats against his convictions of right judgment and duty there is no room to doubt;' what the means that brought him about were can be easily conjectured. His conversion was ac complished between twilight and dawn and he never made the plea that an angel of light had appeared to him in a dream and enlightened his darkened understanding. The angel that came, no doubt, belonged to the other class. It is safe to say that Shiras will not die in an almshouse, though better men than he have done so. Men would respect the courts if the courts would let them. Roosevelt in his .message to con gress declares that "in the case of Cuba there are weighty reasons of morality and of national interest why the policy of reciprocity should be held to have a peculiar application and I most earnestly ask your attention to the vital need of providing for a sub stantial reduction in the tariff duties on Cuban imports into the United States." So there Is after all a moral question involved in the tariff is there? One would almost conclude from the blind adoration shown the tariff fetich by the Republican leaders that esteem, selfishness and inordinate greed on the part of the few coupled with a determination to bleed the many for their enrichment are highly moral attributes. The tariff is at the very best an evidence of the narrowest kind of selfishness, and a total disre gard for the rights of others. It is an absolute command to do unto others what we do not want them to do to us. Whenever Russia, Germany, France or any other country imposes a trade restriction against any of our products, our protected vampires set up a howl and clamor for open free trade doors on the part of others, while we exact tribute, like the pirates of the Mediterranean, on every dollar that we get our hands on. The tariff is said to have derived its name from the pirates of Tarifa, who exacted a trib ute from every vessel entering or leav ing the Mediterranean. The Moorish pirates long ago met their just des erts, but their wicked robberies are still practiced under the sanction of law and in the name of protection. The United States senate is likely to still further thwart the will of the great majority of the American peo ple by refusing to submit a proposi tion to amend the constitution so as to elect the senator by popular vote. If we must have an American house of lords or a millionaires' club, as it is sometimes called, there is no good rea son why the people should not have a voice in their election. The senators say in effect, "We prefer our chances of getting into the senate by fair means or foul through means of the legislatures, and we don't care whether the people like it or not." There are hut two ways of bringing a constitu tional convention about: Congress can call one of its own free will, or if two thirds of the state legislatures ask for it, congress must call one whether it wishes or not. A large number of the legislatures have passed such a resolution, and the old duffers in the senate are beginning to fear that the people will force them, in spite of their wishes, to call a convention. They are devoting their spare time to pointing out the dangers that are sure to re sult from calling a convention. They tell us that if a convention were called there is no telling where the amending would stop. They are afraid to trust the people to amend their own consti tution. Possibly they are fearful that if a convention were called, some man with more honesty and patriotism, and a keener sense of justice than the ma jority of the senators and the mem bers of the supreme court, might pro pose an amendment making the in come tax constitutional.

Not long before his death P. T. Bar naul summoned his lawyer to the side of the couch where he was lying. "I am very much worried," he said, "about a certain matter, and I want to consult you. My neighbor keeps pea cocks. Suppose some of them should fly over into my yard, which they are doing all the time, and lay some eggs | here. Would those eggs belong to me i or could my neighbor compel me to • give them up?" The lawyer, having duly scutched his j head, answered: "Well, Mr. Barnuin, I must take time to look into this mat ter. But the best thing for you to do would be to keep the eggs and let your neighbor sue for their possession. In that way your rights would be deter mined and we should have a very val uable test case." "Well," said Mr. Barnum, "while you are looking into the matter will you And out how it would be if the eggs were laid by peahens?" The lawyer swore softly to himself, but never made any investigation. Cotiftiilcrnte. An Albany lawyer with a penchant for billiards had occasion recently to visit a small town. While there, seek ing to pass the time, he found a new and excellent billiard table. Upon his inquiring if there was anybody about who could play the landlord referred him to one of the natives, who may 1 be called John Jones because that isn't his name. They played several games, j but the result was against the Albany lawyer. Try as he might, the country man won. "Mr. Jones," he remarked, "I have quite a reputation at home. They con sider me a good billiard player, but I'm not in your class. May 1 inquire how long you have played?" "Oh, fer a spell back," replied the I native. "Say, stranger, I don't want to i hurt your feclin's, but you're the fust feller I ever beat." Sicily flie Home of Salpbar. The. beautiful island of Sicily, with Its huge volcano. Mount Etna, and its most interesting remains of classic Greek architecture, is the world's great source of supply for sulphur. The rocks and soil are largely of vol canic origin, and the sulphur mines in some pluecs penetrate deep into the earth. A common sight is a train of freight cars loaded wim bars of sul phur as yellow as gold. Some of the greatest mines are close by Girgenti. the celebrated Agrigentum of the Ro man historians. About 90 per cent of all the sulphur produced comes from Sicily. Mnrk Twnln'a Movlnff. A story is told of the days when Mark Twain was a hack writer in San Francisco on a weekly salary repre sented by one figure, Bret llarte and Joaquin Miller serving on the same stafT with like pay. A woman of means who patronized Bohemia and gave the impecunious stragglers many a good dinner saw Mark Twain, thinly clad and Imperfectly Rhod. standing with a cigar box under bis arm and looking hungrily in at a confectioner's window.' The patroness of letters asked what was in the box. "Oh," drawled the humorist, "I'm moving again." GnmhlinK For Prayer Rook*. The ladies of the town of Arensburg nre passionate card players.
