Ho, for Glen 0noko.

If you want a days outing, take
your wife, or your sweetheart, or
someone else's sweetheart, and go
with the P. o. S. of A. picnic and
excursion to Glen Onoko, ON July
23d. Glen Onoko is situated about
two miles from Mauch Chunk.
Cars run between the two places
every few minutes. 1t is piece
of natures handiwork. There are
magnificent pleasure grounds, where
every accommodation is at hand to
make picnickers comfortable. 1t is
a beautiful place, a succession of
beautiful falls, cataracts and cas-
cades, meet the eye at almost every
step, natural bridges, over rushing,
roaring torrents, which seeth and
boil under the feet of the awe
stricken pleasure seekers, huge fs-
sures of lofty rocks, giving proof
of old time convulsions of nature,
and overhanging cliffs, portends
danger, and makes the journey all
the more awe-inspiring and glori-
ously grand. Remember the date,
July 23d.

week. The attendance was not quite
up to that of former years. 1t was

much regretted that SO many were
unable to be present. The time was
spent in pitching QUOT and talking
over the war and political situations.
A very interesting program, consist

rendered. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year:

Cigarette smokers are surprised to
learn how quickly the regular army ex-

ness. In most instances they detect
1t by the mere appearance of the re-
crult, and we see a statement that
more than SO per cent. of those re-
jected as unfit for military duty are
victims of the cigarette habit, and yet

that he ever experienced any evil

NOW A TIE.
Judge Ikeler has the Oonferees of Montour
County, and R. R. Little those of
Columbia.
WHAT NEXT7

The Democrats of Columbia county
at the primary election held last Satur-
day, gave Robert R. Little 1887 votes,
and Judge Ikeler 1865 votes, giving
Mr.. Little majority of o72. This
was officially declared by the conven-
tion held on Tuesday, and Mr.. Little
will have the naming of his conferrees.
Judge Ikeler having carried Montour
county, it is interesting to know what
is going to happen next. The con-
ferrees OF the two counties will meet,
and there will be a deadlock. So
bitter has been the contest between
the two candidates that no compro-
mise can be expected, and neither of
them will be nominated by the con-
ference. There are several ways that
the matter may terminate.
The conference may split and each
county name candidate, thus putting
both Ikeler and Little in the field. In
this event the Republicans would
make nomination, and there are
strong possibilities that the Republi-
can candidate, if a judicious selection
is made, would be elected. If by anS
chance, and no one knows what may
happen in politics, either Ikeler or
Little should be nominated by the
conference, the defeated party and
his friends would scarcely be expected
to support the nominee, and would
probably turn their strength over to
the Republican candidate and elect
the latter, so that in either event the
Republicans might elect their man,
thus again giving them the benefit of
Democratic factional fights.
There is solution to this problem
that would be very satisfactory to the
people OF this district. As it stands
now neither Ikeler nor Little can get
the nomination, and they have no
right to endanger the chances for the
election of a Democratic Judge. They
can prevent disaster to the party by
both Withdrawing from the contest,
and permitting the conference to
nominate a candidate from outside
the district. Judge Bucher of Union
county, Judge Sittser of Wyoming,
c. Larue Munson of Williamsport.
and many others might be named
who would make an able, impartial
and learned Judge. A nonresident
lawyer could go upon the bench and
try every case that comes up before
him. He would not have to be call
ing in other Judges frequently. A
stranger would have no environments
from which he could not break loose
he would have no political friends to
reward, and no enemies to punish
he could administer even handed
justice to all alike without fear or
favor. This would be a return to the
condition of things that existed in
this district for forty years, during
which time no word of suspicion or
criticism was ever uttered against any
Judge of this district. 1t would take
the Judgeship out of politics, and put
the bench beyond the reach and in
fiuence of either relatives or politi-
clans or factlonists. 1t would meet
with the hearty approval of large
majority of the members of the bar,
and we believe that the vote at the
election next fall would show that it
meets with the approval of large
majority of the people.

The constitutionally lazy man,
says an exchange, suffers most this
hot weather. He cannot find any
temperature just right, so he frets,
sweats and swears more while
hunting shade and fighting flies
than do the rest of us toilers, who
neither fret, sweat, nor swear, more
than is consistent with existing sur-
roundings. There are acres of
comfort and gallons of satisfaction
in being able to accept, with a
pretty good grace, those unpleasant
things we cannot get away from.

or pains it. Do not overload it with
victuals or drink or work. Give
yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly
clad. Do not take cold guard
against. If you feel the first symp-
toms, give yourself heroic treat
ment. Getinto fine glow of heat

follow violation of every law of

The friends of Supt. Sinclair
are making much of the argu-
ment that this Office should be
kept out of politics. A bright
idea. Therefore give it to Miss
Feiring who is not a politician
and has no vote except on school
matters. At present the Office
is not out of politics. Imagine q
populist convention without the
Sinclair family or a pop ticket
without from one to three mem
bers on the ticket. Mr.. Sinclair
wasn't so anxious to keep out of
politics four years ago when q
non-partizan convention was
called. He refused to go into this
convention and the pops called
q separate convention and nomin-
ated him. It was different then.
Voters Mr.. Sinclair has had four
years of politics and pull at the
county. take it out of politics this
time and vote for Miss Feiring.
