MILFORD, PIKE COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, APIltL 3, 1903.
NO. 22.
LETTER.
President Roosevelt has. with the
cooperation of the postmaster general j
and his assistants, Inaugurated one of
ths most thorough investigations
ever conducted In a department of
the government and one which, while
It Is only In the initial stage, has
resulted in one resignation and gives
promise of uncovering a series of the
gravest Irregularities. The Investiga
tion deals with the divisions of
salaries and allowances and of free
delivery In the postollice department
Repeated charges of corruption In
these divisions convinced the post
master general that affairs were not
as they should be and when the
matter was brought to the attention
of the president he Immediately au
thorized a most sweeping Investiga
tion. The courage required to take this
stop can hardly be realized by persons
unfamiliar with the inner working of
the department. The heads of these
divisions have long been in a position
to grant favors, often of the utmost
Importance to almont every niembei
of congress and by this means have
acquired n political "pull" of as
tonishing proportions. Often the
favors so granted, while innocent
from the standpoint of the legislator
applying for it, has actually been
prejudicial to the best interests of the
service, clerk hire and supply accounts
have been granted with a lavish baud
the object being to gain favor with
the members of congress who have
applied for these grants rather than
to further the Interests of the postal
service. But it Is intimated that the
olflcials. involved have not been
content with distributing funds and
supplies in an extravagant manner
but have gone further and organized
a pool by which they have criminally
profited by the sale of supplies to the
government and it Is claimed they
have received a commission on every
mail-box purchased, especially those
used on rural routes, and have other
wise robbed the government.
One of the strongest proofs of the
corruption that lias existed, Is found
in the immediate appeal by officials
under suspicion to their political
lriends to check the present investiga
tion. Already many influential
meinberj of congress and local
politicians have sought to Influence
the president to that end anil, it Is
alleged, have even gone so far as to
Intimate that any prosecution of the
offending officials would cost Mr.
Roosevelt dearly in the next national
convention. With his usual fearless
ness, the president has refused to
listen to any word of warning or
threat and has told those who have
protested to do their worst as he
proposed to carry the thing on to the
end regardless of political consequen
ces and with the sole end in view of
the betterment of the service. No
definite charges will be made until
adequate evidence to substantiate
them is at hand but no favor will be
shown and there may result a bitter
warfare between the president and
the professional politicians.
The president is receiving gratify
ing assurances of his popularity in
the went. The latest harbinger of
news of this character is Mr. Thomas
II Shevlin, national committeeman
for Minnesota who has just visited
Washington. "I told the president
that he would receive the lurgest
lalwr vote next year of any man w ho
ever occupied the White House,"
said Mr. Shevlin after leaving the
president. "I know whereof I speak
for I am not only an employer of
labor myself but I keep posted on
what the various organizations are
doing. The lutxjr leaders point witn
pride to the outcome of the coal
strike. They refer to the fact that
fur the first time in history a presi
dent of the United States underttxtk
to settle a great controversy between
capital and labor by assuming the
initiative and personally summoning
rcpre.-.entatives of each side to the
White House. Heretofore the federal
troops have bceu called out to pre
wrve peace and order but in the coal
strike the president used moral
suasion and won a world wide
victory." Referring to a certain
opposition to Mr. Roosevelt in New
York, Mr. Slielvin said, "I tell tho.-
tenth men they dare not oppose the
nomination of President Roosevelt in
the convention and after he is noiui-liati-d
they cannot ati'ord, us practical
bu.-iiiesi, men, to vote against him."

He will get such a welcome as the
hospitable west ulone can give a
visitor."
Considerable interest Is manileste.hr'""" '"B
in a peculiar situation growing out
of the great personal interest the
president takes In the navy. There
has beeti for some time a suspicion
that Mr. Moody, secretary of the
navy, did not take In his department
the interest to be expected of him,
but It now transpires that Mr. Moody
has been hardly n free agent having
been obliged ill numerous instances
to follow the dictation of the president
us against his own inclinations. The
president is an ardent advocate of a
general stalf for the navy, similar to
that Just authorized by congress for
the army. Mr. Moody has been
instructed to ascertain the sentiments
of the members of congress who
accompany him on the cruise on the
Dolphin, on this subject, and to
create for the scheme all the favor he
can. With such a staff it is predicted
that there would be comparatively
little responsibility left to the secre
tary. Rocs -velt on For try -President
Roosevelt, has shown up
on more than one occasion his exten
sive knowledge of the natiiral
sciences with which many statesmen
are not particularly conversant. He
informally addressed, the other even
ing, a body of scientific foresters at
the residence of Gilford I'inchot, the
government forester. The president's
remarks showed an entire mastery of
the forestry problem and outlined
what the government policy hoped to
accomplish. He deplored the manner
in which the countrys forests have
been ravished and destroyed during
tho past few decades, and urged
their preservation. "You must keep
your high ideals" he said "and seek
to realize them In a practical way, by
showing to lumbermen that scientific
forestry is practicable. You are
creating a new profession, a profession
of as much Importance as that of law,
medicine orany other, and a profession
capable of the highest development."

A Good Entertainment
Though the downpour of rain
Monlay night prevented many from
attending the entertainment given by
'Lovett's Boston Stars" in Brown's
Hall those who braved the weather
were well repaid for their perse ver
enoe by the excellence of the program
rendered. The several members of
the company impressed the audience
with their pleasant deportment no
less than with their skill iu the
rendition of their several parts. The
music, both vocal and instrumental,
was well rendered, the recitations
excellent, especially those of Miss
Georgia Harvey who greatly charm
fed her hearers by her effective
manner, careful training in her
method and admlrablo conception
of the sentiment of ber parts. Such
an entertainment is elevating, in
struct! ve and deserving of patronage.
Woman Suffrage Advocates
Philadoluhinns are justlv proud of
the literary eminence of Miss Agnes
Repplier, and her views on woman
suffrage are therefore of peculiar
interest. She recently wrote from
Rome: "The right of the woman
taxpayer to vote is, and should be,
wholly irrespective of any qualifies
tion on her part, or any use she if
likely to make of the privilege. It
is not a question of expediency, but
of justice." On this same subject
Dr. Harriet Judd Bdrtain expresses
herself. "I believe most fully in
equal rights and equal suffrage for
men and women, with educational
restrictions for both."

He was taken sick with pneumonia
Mar oh 4th and remained at his
boarding place, the house of D. B.
Smith.
Through the careful medical treat
ment of Drs. Gilpin and Simons
and with the tender care of his
parents, he seemed to be speedily

in the handling and counting of
lumber and was a rapid and accurate
aooountant, a pleasant and obliging

California Lands
The press dispatches announcing
preparations for a tremendous land
rush in June next when a million
acres in Southern California are to be
thrown open to entry, indicate that a
good many of our people are still
looking for homes upon ti e land.
Much of this land is desert, however,
and can only be made habitable and
productive through Irrigation. There
is little question but that the western
lands which the government is pre
paring to irrigate under the national
irrigation act, will be taken up by
thrifty settlers from the east as fust
as the dams can be built and the
water placed upon the land.

Justice Canne Hevareod
E. T. Riviere vs. overseers of the
poor of Porter township certiorari
toH. L. Canne, justice pence
Suit wns brought by plaintiff to
receive 08 cents poor tax paid by him
on lands which lie alleged were not
in said township and which the
overseers of the poor had no right
to levy and collect.
Thirtoen exceptions were filed of
which eight are dismissed. The
remaining exceptions allege that the
justice has no jurisdiction of the
subject matter. The court snys the
jurisdiction of justices of the pence
in ordinary civil cases is derived
from section 1 of the act of 20 March,
1 810. This act as amended by act of
7 July, 1879, gives them jurisdiction
inter Jaliu "of all cnuses of action
arising from contract, eithor express
or implied, when tho sum demanded
does not exceed $300." The courts
have construed this to mean only
those contracts that arise immedi
ately ouc of a course of dealing
between the parties and not that
sort of a contract that arises remote
ly out of the compact of govern
ment." Zeicler vs. Gram 13 S. and
R. 102, 12 Penn. state 379, 5 superior
court 528.
The recordshows plaintiffs demand
is for poor tax paid upon lands
assessed in Porter township but
lying in Monroe county. The record
does not show ar y agreement
between the parties that the tax
should be refnndod in any event.
The justice would therefore have no
jurisdiction under this act of as
sembly. We know of no act of
assembly conferring jurisdiction on
justices of tho peace to entertain an
action brought to receive taxes
assessed against an individual or
land, by a township or poor district
and voluntarily paid to the person
or persons authorized to receive the
same. The record in this case does
not show that this was not a volun
tary payment.
In Murray vs. Besono, Law Review
374, it wns held that a magistrate
has no jurisdiction in an action to
recover from a borough tax collector
a head tax voluntarily paid to him
by the plaintiff.
The exceptions relating to the
jurisdiction of the justice over the
subject matter are sustained the
proceedings reversed and judgment
given for the defendant with costs,

The new Chinese minister's name is
Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, K. R.
M. G. He is accompanied by a
daughter ami two sons, fifty-two
secretaries, diplomats and legation
attaches and nine servants. Ho
expresses his intention of emulating
Mr. Wu's example in trying to
educate the American people out of
their prejudices against the Chinese

the Americans will nevei permit the
unrestricted coming of Chinese labor

such a thing. He does hope, how
ever, for the modification of the
Chinese exclusion act which will
allow intelligent Chinamen to come
into this country.
A Great Sensation
There was a big sensation in Lees
ville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of
that place, who was expected to die,
had his life saved by Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. He
writes: "I endured insufferable
agonies from asthma, but your New
Discovery gave me immediuto relief
jand soon thereafter effected a com
I ploto cure." Similar ouros of con
