tel. this city, shortly after 1 o'clock this

If You Are Wise Advertise.

Here's something to read that the
merchant should heed: If you expect
to conquer in the battle of to-day you
will have to blow your trumpet in a
firm and sturdy way. If you toot
your whistle and lay aside your horn,
there is not a living soul will know
that you were ever born. The man
that owns his acres is the man that
plows all day, and the man that keeps
humming is the man that's here to
stay. But the man who advertises
with sort of sudden jerk, is the man,
who blames the printer because it
wouldn't work. The man that gets
the business uses lots of printers ink,
not clatter not splatter, an ad that
makes you think. He plans his adver-
tisement as he plans his shelves and
stock, and the future of his business is
as solid as rock.

open Door Policy.

For the benefit of some of our read
ers who do not get time to study the
questions of the day, we submit the
following as an explanations: By the
open-door policy in the Philippines is
meant that whatever tariff regulations
may be adopted for the islands the
United States will permit all other ma
tions to trade on the same footing
with itself This does not mean free
trade, since it places all nations on the
same commercial footing. That the
proposition is regarded by foreigners
as eminently fair is shown by the COM
ments of the British press. Other ma
tions are likely to regard it with favor
just in proportion as they have trade
with the islands. The arrangement,
if made by the peace commissioners
would apply only to the period during
which the islands would remain under
military or executive rule, and would
be subject to future change by Con-
gress which body alone can enact
tariff laws for the United States or it's
possessions.-Ex.

Our Judges Salaries.

Anent, the subject of Judges salaries,
the question has been asked, Why are
so many of those learned in the law
eager to ascend the bench if the emolu-
ments of office are not inviting?
Judge Charles A. Mayer, of Lock
Haven, made answer to this query
some time ago with this explanation.
In the Courts of Common Pleas of
nearly all the counties in Pennsylvania
the salary of each presiding Judge is
$4,000. 1t is only the few members of
the bar who have incomes from their
private practice that exceed this
amount, and even these do not weigh
the question solely from a pecuniary
standpoint, but give consideration to
the distinguished honor that is vested
in one who wears the ermine, as well
as the influence and power of appoint
ment that go with the Office. Besides
this, stated Judge Mayer, the duties on
the bench are not burdensome and
leave open to the imcumbents much
time which they may devote to other
interests
Judge George B. Orlady, of Hunt
ingdon, one of the able jurists of the
Superior Court, recently stated to the
writer that he realized the monetary
sacrifice he made in abandoning his
lucrative private practice for an office
that insured him but 81, 500 per annum
but for other reasons he deemed fit to
accept the honor.
Ex-Judge Joseph G. Bucher, of Sun
bury, who served two terms in the
then Mitfiin. .Union-Snyder district, ex-
pressed his qualification that third
term was not accorded him, as he has
prospered far better financially since
leaving the bench.
There is no responsibility so vital to
