NO. 31President Judge.

The Renovo Daily News, while dis-cussing the judicial candidates in thisdistrict makes the following pleasant

reference to Judge Green's candidacy:"One of the most pleasant and un-

ostentations visitors called at our of-fice Saturday afternoon, shook handswith the "force,'' had a brief and quietchat with the editor and departed asquietly and as simply as he arrived.

The visitor was the Honorable B. W.Green, president judge of this judicialdistrict which comprises' the counties

of Clinton, Cameron and Elk.As is well known Judge Green was

appointed by Governor Pennypackerto succeed the late lamented JudgeMayer and during his brief term onthe bench he has proven himself to bea judge ofmerit and has won the veryhighest esteem of the people generally

and the encomiums of the members ofthe bar of the three counties particular-ly. His work thus far has been beyondcriticism and it is hardly any wonderthat Judge Green makes and easily re-trains friends wereever he goes. InEmporium, his home town, Judge(Ireeu is held in the highest esteem byevery one."

Hepublican Campaign Text-Book.A departure has been made in the

Republican Campaign Text-Book justissued, in that its contents are whollydevoted to live issues, and these aretreated in the briefest possible way,yet comprehensively enough to includeall necessary facts and figures.

First, there is a genaral statement ofthe issues of 1906, followed by a briefreview ofßepublican legislation in gen- ;eral and the work of the Fifty-ninthCongress in particular. The RailroodRate Law, Pure Food Law, Free Al-cohol Law, Employers' Liability Lawand the Meat Inspection portion of theAgricultural Appropriation Law aregiven in full, as is Chairman Tawney'sclear explanation of the appropriations.

The Labor question is next fullypresented, followed by RepresentativeWatson's exposition of Anti-Trustproceedings. About one hundredpages are given to the Tariff, Agricul-ture and Manufactures, and the tablesshowing the various phases of indus-trial activity. Among other subjectstreated under the tariff are:

Protection and Free Trade;Customs Revenue;Foreign CommerceHome Market and Internal Trade;Wages and Prices;Export Discounts;Reciprocity;Free Hides;Revision, etc., etc., etc.Some half hundred tables give official

and authoritive figures down to thelatest possible date. The work of thePresident and administration is thenbriefly presented, the condition andstatus of the Philippines, the PanamaCanal, the Navy, Postal Service, Irri-gation, etc., etc.

The President's letter to Representa-tive Watson concludes the work, whichhas a coupious index of over a dozenpages.

Scattered throughout the book arequotations from President Rooseveltand other Republican leaders. Amongthese is the extract from Senator Han-na's speech where he used the "standpat" expression, it being the only in-stance in the Text Book where thewords "stand pat" are used. A pageis given to Mr. Bryan and his views,with the comments of the New YorkWorld, A so-called "Prosperity Post-script" is added giving treasury con-ditions, trade reports, etc., down toAugust 1.

For the first time in a political cam-

paign, the Text Book will have a gen-eral circulation, as together with otherliterature, it will be sent on receipt ofone dollar by John C. Eversman, As-istant Treasurer, 1133 Broadway, NewYork.

Letter to J. W. Norris.Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: There's twice as muchhorse in one horse?it may be a mare?-

as there is to two or three others together.So with paints too. If a painter can

do your job with 10 gallons Devoe tor850; it'll take 12, 15 or 20 of otherpaints; and the cost of a job is about 85 agallon, whatever the paint may be.

There are paints adulterated three-quarters?only one quart of paint in agallon?he's got to paint four gallons olrubbish to get one gallon of .paint. Theworst horse you've got is as good as thatpaint; and he'll go as far.

The less-gallons paint is the paint, asthe most-horse is the horse.

Yours truly,K. W. DEVOE it Co.,

Base Ball.The Fats and Leans played their an-

nual game at Keystone Park laßtThursday and the fats were trimmedto "queen's taste," to the score of18 to 6 What the fats lacked in runsthey made up in avoirdupois, Geo.Hacket acting as umpire. Whilenot being present we are informed thatall his decisions were taken as law.there being no one present who if hehad any kick, with nerve to tackleGeorge. It was a' well played game.Our druggists had quite a run on lini-ment, salve, etc., during the remainderof the week. Ilaupt says he wasn'ta bit sore but Newton thinks differentand winks the other eye.

Theo. Newton selected a team onFriday morning and played the secondnine at the pjrk grounds and defeatedthe latter by a score of 7to 6. CaptainNewton says its just as easy to have awinning team as it is a losing one.The trouble with many a captain isnot able to tell a good thingwhen he sees it.

A return game will be played at thepark grounds by the above teams onSaturday for the ch i npionship of thecounty, which prjtiiH?s to be an in-teresting contest.

Our people or those who witnessedthe game of ball between St. Marysand Emporium nines last Fridaywere about thoroughly disgusted withthe sport before the game was finished.Itwas a "kick" from start to finishand a number of persons left theground thorougly disgusted before thegame was half ended. The troublewas always started by the visitors whoseemed to have a "kick" coming atcritical stages only. Whether theboys were justified in causing thistrouble we are not prepared to say,but we do know that it is very unpleas-ant for the audience. The playerashould abide by the decisions of theumpire, who again should be fair andimpartial in his rulings. The positionof an umpire is a very bard one, and nomatter how fair be may be, there ie al-somo one who thinks the otber fellowsare being done up. The game waswon by the borne team by a score of7to 5. The visitors made all their fiveruns in the second on four hits and twopasses, after which Hemphill took theirmeasure in order, having 13 strikeouts.The visitors not being able to connectwith his spit ball, in the seventh in-ning put a chemical of some discriptionon the ball which we think was a veryunsportsmanlike move?take yourmedicine like a gentleman is alwaysthe course ofa true sportsman.

???

The small boys came over from PortAllegany last Saturday and defeatedour local boys by the score of 13 to 2.

Orvis Hemphill has made a recordthe past week he may well be proud of.Out of four games played he has struckout 51 busmen and but 17 hits weremade off his delivery. He has alsobeen in evidence with the stick with atotal uf seven safe hits. Orvis has theboys going "south" when they cometo the scratch?the best batters go thesame route, it seems to make no differ-ence.

Take Notice.Geo. J. Laßar has secured a man to

do upholstering and all sort 6 of repair-ing. Please bring on your work andwe will guarantee it to be done prop-erly.

Fun at the Park.Tnere will bd pie ity of fun at Key-

stone Park next Saturday afternoon atthree o'clock. The second ball teamwill play Theo. Newton's R. R., ninefor a prize of $25.00. Be sure you at-

; tend.
