LAWYERS IN POLITICS.
The Members of the Bar Adopt the
Plan of Naming Judges.
SEVERAL OBJECTIONS OFFERED.
tne clause Referred Back to the Committee
for Revision.
ALL COURT PROCEEDINGS CONDENSED

The second meeting of members of the
Allegheny County Bar was held yesterday
afternoon to further arrangements for an
organization for the purpose of suggesting
candidates for judicial honors. Major Negley
presided snd the committee, to which had
been referred the subject, presented re-
port through its Chairman, Mr.. Woodward.
The report was taken for consideration
seriatim.
The name of the organization gave rise to
some discussion. Mr.. Campbell wanted it
called the Judiciary and Non Partisan As
sociation of Allegheny County. Magnus
pfam wanted The Lawyers Association
substituted, but the name reported by the
committee, that of ''The Association of the
Bar of Allegheny County, was selected.
The document was then adopted as pre-
sented and previously printed in THE DIS
PATCH, with but few slight changes, until
the rules governing the choosing of candi-
dates was reached
Lyon an Objector.
Mr. Lyon was the first to object to the
third clause, relating to the voting. He
said if the association expected to accom-
plish ANYTHING it must eatisfy the public
that the bar as n whole is talking when a
candidate is endorsed, and not small por-
tion of il, as might be the case if the clause
was adoptei.
Mr.. Jennings said that certain people
might not care to vote and they would be
able by their lack of interest to
check the effectiveness Of those who
did vote. Mr.. Lyon wanted it fixed. so
that candidates must be indorsed by ma
iority of the bar But Mr.. Jennings
thought the action of tine majority voting
could be considered as the action of the
bar Mr.. Lyon thought it unfair that a
minority should he placed in a position to
force an obnoxious candidate on the ma
ioritv.
Mr. Cotton agreed, saying that if the as
Sociation is 10 be made felt at Harrisburg,
at Washington and throughout the coun-
try, it ought at least to back up its men with
a majority Endorsement
A Compromise Proposition.
Mr. Knox wanted to compromise by max
ing il three-foUrths of those voting. John
Large created some amusement by con-
demning the whole scheme. He said:
suppose neither convention will nominate
3 candidate named by this association. We
have subscribed to pledge to stand by our
man. Are we going to do it? No; L
wouldn't, not even if Major Neglev was the
man laughterl This Kind of a scheme
might have done in aristocratic or Russianic
times, but it won't do in free America"
The paper was adopted as a whole with
the exception of the third clause referred
to, which was recommitted for revision bv
the committee with instructions to report
at an adjourned meeting TO be held next
Wednesday at o'clock.

wrongheaded People.

Among the most unpleasant people one
is compelled to rub shoulders with on Iife's
highway are the class whose minds take
hold of everything, as it were, the wrong
end foremost. They are usually as obsti
nate as perverse, and the false differences
they draw from misapprehended premises
they adhere to with as much tenacity as if
they were gospel truths. One knows not
how to deal with such incorrigibIes Good
humored rallying they are as likely as not
to mistake for studied insult, kind words
for humbug. endeavors to instruct and
convince for airs of superiority, and what
ever one may do or say with view of ben
efting them they mistake for insidious
attempts to get on their blind side.
Their field of moral vision is filed with
mist of suspicion which distorts every.
thing, and it is in vain to reason with
them, for you can no more do away with
their absurd impressions than YOU can
wipe out craven letters with a sponge.
Error, we suppose, is to them what truth
is to right headed men and women, and
they cling to it because they believe in it.
They are objects of commiseration, vet.
being unabatable nuisances, it is prudent
to give them wide berth
1t is really sad thing to be preiisposed
by nature to misconceive and misconstrue
but it is equally unpleasant to be mis-
understood and misconstrued. We there
fore make it a rule to have as little as DOS
sible to do with inveterately wrongheaded
people.-New York Ledger

USURY LAWS IND DEAR MONEY

Governor Laughton states incidentally
in one of his veto messages, that the
prevalent rate of interest on safe invest
ments in the state of Washington is
seven per cent per annum. The average
rate, on similar investments. is un-
doubtedly higher In Oregon, and there
is no reason that this should be SO ex-
cept one, namely, the unequal discrimi-
nation against capital in the constr1c-
tion and application of our assessment
laws. If the people think it right to
have law that insures the taxation of
all loans secured by mortgages on real
estate while all other loans or credits
map escape if they can, and they gener-
ally can; if the people want system
that taxes real property at twenty
five cents on the dollar, and money and
credits, when a man is honest enough to
give them in, at their full face, well and
goood. But they must not, under such
a system, expect to get cheap money. If
the people must have law that leaves
nonresident capitalists liable to a tax
on their investment of from two to four
per cent. let them have it by all
means, but these same people must not
growl because money is scarce AMI dear
and because foreign capital goes else
where for investment. This state is
simply reaping what she has sown. She
has sown mortgage tax and usury laws
and she is reaping dear money. She
has Disseminated against outside capi-
tai and outside capital discriminates
against her.

Is Disease a Punishment

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as punishment for sin:
''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warming
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? It is only necessary
to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it.,
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles for

"No FLIES ON UNCLE JERRY"

Uncle Jerry Rusk the Secretary of
Agriculture has been doing some shrewd
and very effective work in the line of
the admission of American cattle. Quite
recently number of American capital
lists have been purchasing large herds of
Canadian cattle for shipment to Eng
land. 1t is well known that the gov
ernment of Great Britain places very
severe restriction on the importation of
American live stock shipped from the
United States. AT present they can
only be landed or killed at three
points and that under such harrassing
restrictions as to make the business i'm
profitable. Uncle Jerry proposes to have
the Canadian cattle, upon which there
are no restriction shipped to Great Brit
ain just to give the people of the rural
districts taste of the quality of Amer
lean beef. When they get thoroughly
familiarized with it, Uncle Jerry thinks
the battle towards free importation will
be half won. He relies on the Federal
Meat Inspection Law to do the rest. In
the meanwhile under the provisions of
this law the secretary had his agents in
spect certain shipments of land-certifed
animals, and after inspection certificates
were issued, under authority of the
United States, these animals were quiet
ly sent to Paris. Antwerp and Hamburg.
The authorities at these ports could not
well refuse to receive them on the old
plea, that being American they were of
course unsound, particularly as Uncle
Jerry Rusk, backed by the authorities of
IS 900 900 people, affirmed the contrary.
So as matter of course they received
them. Paris took in 6S1 head; Ham
burg 1907 and Antwerp 1922 head. This
is good for a starter, and now Uncle
Jerry proposes to lead all the forces of
American cattle growers in the United
States towards an attack ON Great Brit
ain, with every hope of favorable is
sue. Whatever foreign trade reciproc-
ity fails to capture Uncle Jerry will
corral by strategy. All of which goes to
show that farmer Jerry Rusk is not
much of a hay seed after all.

How Owen and Jason Brown Disposed
of Their Little Fortune.

How Owen and Jason Brown Disposed
of Their Little Fortune.
John Brown, of Harper's Ferry, whose
soul goes marching on, has. two sons, Owen
and Jason, who went into the valley where
Pasadena sits, in the sunshine of the Cali
fornia paradise, and there struggled
against adversely and fought pirched cir
cumstances in a long and hard contest
A Lewiston gentleman who is just home
from Washington met in New York au
old friend, an attorney of much note who
settled the estate of one of these sons who
died at or near Pasadena. The attorney
told the Lewiston gentleman a story whose
moral will be found touching, no matter
how badly it may be told in this place. and
whose theme is heroic along the better line
of heroism- This attorney found the af-
fairs of the deceased in good order, but his
estate small. He obtained from the sur
viving son a memento of John Brown, 1,
letter written to one of the sons nearly
fifty years ago-a good letter, with one or
two bits of honest. manly advice in it,
In process of looking up the affairs the
attorney found that the two sons had lived
along in rather pinched way paying for
their little place, working hard and pa
tiently, uncomplaining in their toll, and
that they finally had saved 5000 for a little
nest egg against future troubles Four
years ago or more, as every one knows,
Ohariestoh' D ~, Ieu In earthquake.
There was want and suffering-a misery
in some sections paralleled only by the
flood at Conenaugh. When those two
brothers heard of it, forgetting that South
Carolina had embodied the element that
had slain a father. and hearing only the.
cries of want and destitution, they sent
their entire little fortune to Charleston,
and it was used in allaying the miseries of
the men and women who, in certain way,
had been responsible for their fathers
death.
There's the story. You can think it
over, especially in the light of it's unosten-
tatious giving, and perhaps you may see
its moral. The fact that it has been un-
noticed SO long, and that one of the sons
has died without seeing even a newspaper
reference to the incident, is proof enough
that it was a gift of pure generosity and
nothing else.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal

In certain school the teacher always
went to her pupils when they needed help,
instead of having them come to her. This
habit led one day to rather amusing Incl
dent.
Little Tommy Page was being punished
by standing in the floor while he got
his spelling lesson. Finding a hard word
he raised his hand, and the teacher at once
came to his assistance. A moment later
this was repeated, and soon his calls for
the teacher became frequent
But, by and by, Tommy's legs began to
get tired and he longed for seat. A little
later he walked boldly up to the teachers
platform and calmly seated himself on its
edge.
When asked by the surprised teacher
what his strange conduct meant. he re-

Interesting Experiments with Bottle,


Take an ounce vial and fill it about three
quarters full of water; make a hole in the
cork and insert small tube or a stout
piece of straw. The opening must be as
small possible; the tube must reach
nearly to the bottom of the vial, and the
cork must be pushed in tight; now, if you
blow into the tube the air will be com
pressed in the upper part of the bottle, and
when your lips are taken away a little
fountain will play from the tube for few
moments. l will now show you how the
fountain can be produced in a partial
vacuum without COMPRISING the air
Take glass jar with the mouth large
enough to go over the small vial, and heat
the inside over the flame of lamp or can
die. Place the small vial ON a plate, upon
several layers of blotting paper which have
been soaked in water for a moment, then
take the heated jar and invert it over the
vial, pressing it down as tightly as you
can upon the blotting paper, and watch
the result. When you heated the inside of
the jar the air inside was expanded and
partly driven out. The blotting paper
makes hermetical joint, and tAe air con
tanned in the upper part of the vial forces
the water up through the tube to the bot
tom of the jar, and it falls in . little cas-
cade down the sides.-Boston Herald.
