NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
The prominence sooorded by the
Press to the resignation of Secretary
Root and the discussion of the sub
jeot by public msn and Journalists
is merely expressive of tbe great in
flaenee he bus hsd on publio affairs
during his tan years' residence in
Washington. That be will continue
to influence publio affairs from a dif
ferent but no leaa important stand
point is matter of gratulstion to the
country at large. - It has been long
indeed since the greatest state of the
Union has bad an equally great rep
resentative of even so great a state
aa New York.' He baa had too much
--hoTlo 'with nltionat and international
affairs to become merely a provin
cial representative. In his recent ad
drees In Albany, be said that he
would advocate a parcels post if New
York State was in favor of it. That
New York Btate will be In favor of
it, there cannot be the slightest
doubt, and Mr. Root doubtless knew
this when be made the remark. The
man whom be succeeds in tbe Senate
hfis long been known as the repre
sentative of the express companies
the oompaniee that have skimmed
tbe cream of the postal profits and
left the nation a yearly deficit. The
Post Office Department, with ite
thousands of rural carriers bringing
letters and newspapers to so mnnv
homes, might with immense helpful
neas to farmers snd suburbanites
and Immepre profit to tbe nation,
deliver parcels aa is done in England
Germany, Franco and in every
other civilized country in the world.
Washington is busy with prepar
ation for the inauguration ceremon
ies which will lake place in scarcely
mere than a month from now.
Everything baa been prearranged
except tbe weather. The fourth of
March is down 1q tbe weather re-
reports for a disagreeable day and a
number of ineffective attempts have
been made to change the inaugura
tion day to another date. It is un
derstood that there will be a conden
sation ot the procession or parsJe
whloh has on previous occasions beea
far too long drawn out. The aveu ne
ia wide and seventy-five ot a hun
dred mea oan easily march abreast
on it. Such bas been tbe vanity of
civic and military organisations for
conspicnonsness, that some have ac
tually insisted on marohlog single
die, canting the spectators on tbe
Avenue to wait frequently three or
four hours on til the vsfaols procession
passed.
The President, it is said, will make
breaoh in the old custom of riding
with bia successor toani from tbe
Capitol. He will, it is understood,
accompany the President elect to tbe
Capitol and see him Inaugurated, but
Instead of returning with bim to tbe
White Hooee, will make a 'beeline
for tbe Union Station and thence to
Oyster Bay, sailing a few days there
after from Now York to a Mediter
ranean port on his way to Africa
Tbe President announced this pro
gram yesterday when he accepted
tbe offer of tba New York Republi
can Committee to aot aa hla escort
on the route from the Capitol to the
station.
The leaders of tbe Senate anil of
tbe Honae have held a conference
with reference to tbe legislative pro
gram for the remaining thirty days
of this session and it is plain thnt
their purpose is not to permit tbe
enactment of any general legislation
beyond tbe appropriation bills. It
baa been the lntention-of the House
to pass statehood bills for Arizona
and New Mexico, but . the Senate
does not favor this action. The time
for convening the apecial session for
consideration of the tariff has been
pretty definitely fixed for tbe tenth
fo March, or six days after the inang
urauon. ibis arrangement was
made after oonanlta lion with Senator
Knox, who, as bis chosen Secretary
of State, is eopposed to represent
i-residect elect Jan, now absent in
Panama. Mr. Taft will probably ap
prove this date and it la favored by
Speaker Cannon and republicans asa
desirably early date for work on the
new tariff bill.
Mnch interest is expressed with
reference to tbe very lofty tower for
wireless telegraphy which It is pro
posed to erect in Wsshington for the
purpose ot oommaDicating with ships
at sea to a distance ot three thousand
miles. Blda have been submitted
from seven firms tod It Is probable
that Pittsburg boots offering to
furnish tba apparatus and tower for
ityW will tfts eoninoh Tb
tower will probably have a construc
tion somewhat similar to that of tbe
famous Eiffel tower in Paris, though
It is not expected to be as high as
this structure.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON
The measles epidemio scare is
about over, and the many oases re
ported areoonvalescing rapid! v. The
attacks were of a mild lorm.
The mail routes from Milford to
Branohville, and from Lavton .n
Flat brook ville, have been rejected
by the P. O. Department as being
too high, the bids I mean.
Both routes have been road vertissd
in
the hope of getting lower bids.
The proposals made to the nrinUm
of this County for printing blanks
tor the Clerk and Surroeatu were
surprising.
For printing some blanks the bids
were in some cases twice what an.
other offloe would do tbe same work
foe,'
Our county print bill has been a
oostly part ot tbe county expenses.
A bill bas been reported favorably

widows of the Civil War, and, if
passed will bring Joy to many. Tbe

A laughable incident haobened In
thia town last week. Layton parties
went to a certain place to oatoh bait

the spot another party was ena-nred
in fishing for suckers. Hearing tbe
pproaohing party they hastllv
pulled out the r net. rolled it nn. and
ran for all they were worth.

food to keep from starvation. Tbey
are willing to work and will do so if
afforded tba opportunity Mucb of
this Buflering could be relieved if
those, farmers and others, who wish
help would offer them work. No
doubt charity Is sometimes mixgnid
ed and tbe undeserving, shiftless and
intemperate reoelve aid along with
thlte unfortunates who are willing
b honest toil to better their oondi
tifcns if afforded the opportunity. It
is better perhaps that some who are
not entitled to charity sbonld receive
aid than tbat those along with them
who are really deserving shonld, on
that account, be deprived ot it. Be
cause philanthropists oan not alwaya

doing nothing. If inclined to assist
