The Crawford Wooden Mills, at Martins
burg, are among the most important indus
tries in that city. That these mills are pros
pering under the Wilson tariff bill is shown
by the sworn statement of Mr. T. l. Dunn,
manager of the mills, made before notary
at Martinsburg, October 30. In this state
meut Mr.. Dunn declares that ''the mills are
paying one cent per pound more for the un-
secured wool which they use than previous
Iy to the repeal of the Mckinley bill, which
is equal to three cents per pound on the
secured wool" Mr.. Dunn further makes
oath that "the mills have run every working
day, full time, until two months ago, since
which time they have run on 5-4 time ~!
hours, paid full wages, and have no inten-
ton of making any reduction in wages, and
are to day four months behind with their
orders" This is hard nut for the caami-

Live and Learn.

EX-RepreSentaItive Kasson, a men,
ber of the ways and means committee
of the Fifty-first congress, does not
appreciate the position of those who
are now indisposed to bow down a sec
ond time before the fetich of redundant
protection. He writes to the Washing
ton Post:
There need be no question or doubt
about the definition of national protec.,
tion." 1t means legislative encourage
ment to the employment of American cap
ital and labor at home in the DEVELOPMENT
of all our natural sources of wealth and
prosperity, instead of sending our cap
ital abroad to aid in the production of for
eign wealth and to pay for the foreign la
Dor. 1t means legislative security against
the dependency of the nation upon foreign
countries for its means of defense, and
OF our people for their necessaries and
comforts OF life. 1t means legislative
barriers against the exhaustion of the
wealth of the country by sending it
abroad In exchange for perishable ar
tlcles, instead of using 1t at home In ex-
change for the like articles produced by
American labor from the earth or in the
factory. In the former case both money
and the article it buys are lost to our
country; in the latter the money stays
at home and goes on buying. The prime
object Of protection" is the steady
maintenance Of the necessary Industries
involved in the development of national
resources; not the benefit of A, b and c.,
who own the industries, except so far as
they are entitled to the, competitive
chance Of reasonable profits, as indis-
pensable agents for maintaining the in
dustrles. 1t goes without saying that
there must be profits, or there will be no
industry.

James j. II. Hamilton of this city pre-
sents an instructive study Of the legal
limitations which have been passed by

man life. These limitations vary con-
siderably. In actions to recover dam
ages for deaths from corporations

ger Of a railroad company be killed by

FOUR GREAT EVENTS.

"You can't guess what's happened"
Says Grandma, looking wise;
Something so unexpected
1t took me by surprise"
And while'we fail at guessing
What we're sure Of forsooth,
She makes the profound announcement
"The baby's got tooth!"
"Ive got some news to tell you,"
Says Grandma, by and by
"Of course, it's of the baby"
We say with twlnkllng eye.
"Of course 1t is," says Grandma;
And the news, too good to keep,
Is told us In a sentence
1.-THE baby's tried to creepv"
"Guess what-1 heard today, dears,'
Says Grandma a-grin.
As to the baby's presence
We all come tumbllng In.
Something so che! so cunnlngl
know you will be glad
j wish you could have heard It,
The baby said Dad Dadr',
I've something new to tell you,"
Says Grandma in delight;
And then she hugs the baby
And takes q great big bite
OF kiss from lips like cherries
In u hungry kind of way;
"Just think dearsl Grandma's darling
Took two big steps today"

out of the ffty-eght names of Wy
oming county citizens signed TO petition
of contest upon which Judge Slttser rests
his claim of defeating Judge-elect Dun
ham, forty-six afterward signed Il second
petition to Judges Rice, Archibald and
Searle asking that their nmaes be strlck-
en- from the first petition, inasmuch as
their signatures were obtained under a
Misrepresentation of the documents ma
ture and purpose. Although the trial
judges denied this counter petition, its
moral effect is very considerable. Only
twelve men today cling to the first petit
ton; and the Tunkhannock Republican
says of this dozen that there Is not a
single one who owns or pays taxes on real
estate. There seems to be comparatively
little doubt that by bringing this flimsy
contest Judge Slttser has very materially
impaired his once large popularity in wy

Ballot Law Changes.

We surmise from the tenor of their
remarks that the majority leaders of
the next legislature in this state will
endeavor to prevent further amend
ment of the present ballot law. There
are, however, two features of the law
which distinctly need modification. The
straight party circle at the top of each
row of names should be abolished ut
terly, and the provision should be
stricken out which permits an ignorant
or helpless voter to take an assistant
with him into the booth. We concede
that neither of these changes is likely
to be made, for the simple reason that
the politicians are against them; but
both ought to be made, because they
would do away with much crookedness,
error and crime.
The circle at the top is a device of
politicians to encourage straight vot-
ing. If, however man marks cross
in this circle and then one opposite one
of the names in an adjoining column
below. as was done, it is alleged, in
the election of judge in Sullivan county
last month, grave question at once
arises as to the laws meaning. The
decision of Judge Archibald, in a similar
case, that the voters plain intention
should be respected, although it is
in unison with common sense and com
mon justice, is dissented from by at
least three other common pleas judges
in the state, before whom parallel cases
have arisen. If there were no circle
there would be no dilemma. The voter
could and should vote for candidates
separately. If unable to read, he could
take a marked specimen ballot with
him into the booth and copy the marks
upon the regular ballot. Or, better
still, he could forfeit ballot to which
no ignorant man has any moral right.
We favor the abolition of the too
ubiquitous helper because so long as he
enjoys his present prominence at the
polls, our ballot system will not be a
secret system nor will it be a clean
one. In the case Of crippled or disabled
voters, there should, of course, be pro-
vision for assistance; and we would
suggest the addition to each election
board Of two sworn helpers, different
in politics, both of whom should as
sist disabled voters in marking and
folding their ballots. Some fraud would
probably creep through even this ad-
dational precaution but the opportu-
nifty for fraud would be very materially
curtailed. The total number of voters
: in the state in need of physical assist
ance at the polls is small. In the
majority Of cases such voters are men,
tally fitted to detect any jugglery on
the part of their assistants
The booth system of secret voting has
come to stay in Pennsylvania; but II
should be perfected whenever a fault is
disclosed. The above are bad faults.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-12-21

manned true to the foregoing wise and
patriotic standard, there would have
been no revolt of the people in the con-
pressional elections of 1890; no second
infiction Of Grover Cleveland in 1892
and no panic. II II had listened to the
advice of James G. Blaine and had
remembered that our farmers and
tradesmen and the employees in our
industries needed protection no less
than our large capitalists, does Mr.
Kasson suppose we would now have
Democratic administration in power!
Protection, of the genuine kind, Is
indeed more firmly rooted in public
favor" today than it ever was before
But the genuine kind of protection Is
not the kind at which Mr.. Blaine once
grew 50 angry that he smashed his
silk hat while gesticulating forth al
emphatic protest.
