ELSEWHERE in today's paper is a
notice of court to be held Dy Judge
Brown on August 9Th and 9th for
naturalization purposes. Court was
held at different points in the county
recently for this same purpose, but
only a comparatively small number
of persons avaiIed themselves of the
opportunity. The opportunity now
presented will be the last before cleo
ton, and whoever wishes to vote next
fall must now take out his second
papers. No such minor considera-
tons as the possibility of being draft
ed into the army to fight against Spain
should cause any to hesitate, for q
draft is the remotest possibility. Fur
ther than that, if person is settled
in this country, he should enjoy all
the advantages and take upon him
self all the responsibilities of citi-
zen. He should make his voice felt
in time of peace and in time of war;
he should in whatever field there be
need, devote his energies to the vel
fare of his country. ''@''''' :, Z I r

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humor5 - How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

CONGRESSIONAL CLIPPINGS.

The Crookston Times says that

congressional convention to be used
as campaign fund to P. NJ. Ringdal,
and that assurances are at hand which
will run the amount up to $500 at
once. In addition to this large
amount Is expected from outside the
district. 1t is reported that the at
torney for the Great Northern drop
ped check for 500 in the hat. With
such an amount of money in sight it
would look as though Ringdal was
going to put up another Kindred

How this war has changed the as
pect of things? The appropriation
for the Nicaragua canal was once a
moated question, but now the trip of
the Oregon has been too much of an
object lesson. The possession of
Hawaii and the rest of the Pacific
Ocean makes the construction of the
canal only the matter of short time.

NATIONAL questions arising out of

NATIONAL questions arising out of
the conquest of so many islands from
Spain will soon put this country be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
These new territories conquered can
not govern themselves and on the
other hand the principal of local self
government lies at the basis of this
country's constitution. However, the
United States has always solved all
the questions which have arisen and
will no doubt meet it's new response
bilities just as successfully.

not sond man who can be of some
benefit to them because he belongs
to the majority? The subject of
suckers and cells has been such a
prolific field for Democratic cam
paigning in this county, and SO
many Of the former have been
caught by specious promises of can
didates to "repeal and wipe out the
obnoxious fish and game laws" that
we are willing to admit without
question that the Hon. F. A. labor
ed most assidiously and faithfully
in their behalf, and without being
invidious, we may point to one at
least who seems to have the hook
far down in his anatomy. Our
thanks are due to the genial peda-
gogue for affording an opportunity
to discuss the merits of our present
representative, and his claims for
reelection, and we hope now that
he has opened the ball he will en-
brace the opportunity he sought, to
furnish some of the reasons in a
straightforward and categorical
manner. They will be edifying to
the people, enlightening to our Wis
ion and, perhaps, astonishing to
the Hon. F. A. himself. The PRESS
did not begin this campaign of edu-
cation it sprung from the fertile
mind of one whose natural bent lie-
in that direction and who instituted
it in a paper "near and dear to Pike
County people" Let it proceed.

NEW MAP OF THE UNITED
STATES.

WHEN the children Of this coun
try begin the school term in a
few short weeks they will need new
Biographies. In each direction
though more largely to the west
ward the star of our empire has
taken its way until now it shines
over 175 degrees of longitude, from
the farthest east islands of Porto
Rico, westward to Manila, dis
tance of at least 10, 900 miles, from
one extreme to the other.
If the coaling station at Pago-
Pago, Samoa, 12 degrees south OF
the Equator, be considered in on
dominions and we stretch north
ward to Point Barrow, II degrees
north latitude, or 5000 miles, S.
that we may say our possessions are
ten thousand miles long and 5000
miles wide, and all this is the re-
suit of only one hundred and twenty
two years of growth. At the Dec
laration of Independence the coun
try was a narrow strip reaching
from Maine to the Mississippi,
which by 1890 was enlarged a few
degrees. The purchase of Oregon
and Louisiana in 1910 took our
Western line to the 124th degree
and there it remained until the pur-
chase of Alaska in 1867. The terri
torial centre of the United States
was then about at San Francisco,
and some inquisitive boy or girl can
spend an hour with profit studying
its present location. Our flag now
floats from the isles of the Virgin
Passage, (east of Porto Rico) to the
shores of the China Sea. The little
nation of a hundred years ago has
grown so that she is only outrival.
led by her mother England in
breadth of territory. Distances
like the above are hardly compre-
hensible but the proud spirit of
liberty cannot be confined within
narrow bounds, and where our flag
waves there hen civilizing and en-.
ligtening influences will be felt and
respected. We are a truly great
nation now in more senses of the
word than one.

ulating the country on the heroism OF
its young soldiers who are now in the
field, and warmly endorsing President
Mckinley for his conduct Of the war,
the association declared as follows:
That In the coming election, we
pledge our hearty and unanimous sup
port to our comrades, as well as their
associates upon the Republican ticket,
and thus show by our votes that those
who stood by our country's flag and
defended 1t in the hour of need have
not been forgotten by grateful peo-
pie, and that such sons our common
wealth delights to honor.
THAT 1t is the sense of the veterans
of the war of the rebellion, and we be-
lieve 1t to be the judgment of all the
patriotic citizens of this commonwealth,
that, as in the year 1864 so now the
soldiers in the field SHOULD have the
right to vote, and our state officials
should early take the necessary steps
to have this privilege accorded every
soldier and sailor now in the service
of the country.
I'm 1864 the Democratic party Of this
state declared that the legislation al
lowing. our soldiers and sailors in the
field to vote was unconstitutional, and
In support of that declaration the pres
ent Democratic candidate for governor,
Hon. George A. jerks, by his voice and
influence, showed that he was in COM
plete accord with the leaders of his
party, and he ought not therefore, re-
ceive political support from those who
believe in the justice of that measure
to the men then serving their country
on land and sea.
That as survivors of the war of the
rebellion, we call upon our comrades
and fellow citizens to cast their votes
at the coming election for the Republi-
can ticket. in order that this great
patriotic state shall have a full Re
publican delegation in congress, and a
Republican Legislature, so that it shall
become a matter of record that Penn
sylvania is arrayed on the side of right,
justice, humanity and prosperity thus
saying to the country at large that
the people may continue to rely on Re
publican principles as the means by
which the nation under the wise lead
ership of President Mckinley and his
| advisers, may continue on it's onward
march of progress"
Speeches in the line of the resolu-
tions were made by General James w
Latta, ex-I.ieutenant Governor William
| T. Davies, General B. Franklin Fisher
Congressman Thad Mahan and others
and a campaign committee of Is was
provided for to see to 1t that the work
done with so much effect for Mckinley
in 96, and by the parent organization
the old Boys in Blue''-as far back
as 1856, shall be repeated this fall.
Here in Philadelphia, whose big vote
is always a matter of general state in
terest, the significant development OF
the week just closed is the decisive evi.
dence that the factional difference,
which have split up the party for ovei
three years have been wiped away
It's as safe as a bet on McKinley's re-
election that there will be only one Re
publican local ticket this fall with tn,
whole party behind it.

HE AMUSES US.

IT sICKLEs"is an "amoosin little
cuss," and consumes over a
column of valuable space in last
Mondays Gazette to inform its
readers that he unfortunately"
used the word usual when he should
have said "handsome. As our
point was that his statement was
not in accordance with the facts,
and as he now, after floundering
through, over and among a lot of
adjectives, adverbs and such, ad-
mits the fact his attempt to argue
that the majority of 329 in Pike, if
carried through the State in the
same ratio, would have given the
Democrats 100000, more or less,
may be a soothing balm to pour on
his decorations, but it is a weak
rope with which to pull himself out
of the hole he went into. Next time
he wishes to give himself a boost
we advise him to take hold of his
boot straps. l. Sickles enlightens
us as to the valuable service which
Hon. F. A. .Kessler rendered his con-
stituents, by saying that we "ought
to know that he has done all that
could reasonably be expected of a
member of the hopeless minority, +"
and then to be a little more explicit
he asks if sit was not due to his
suggestion that the State appropria-
tion was made part of the Hamilton
road law, Now, 1. Sickles, we
asked you to point out one service,
just one, and you come at us with
an interrogation, which we may
answer later on. Not content with
one question, he asks two more,
viz: "Has he not labored faithful
ly for the restoration of the fishing
privileges?" and "has he not, in
short, given general satisfaction"
We give it up, and l Sickles like,
answer his questions by asking
others. Where was the Hon, F. A..
when the Forestry bill was being
passed, which bill allows the State
to buy and hold our wild lands for
the benefit of other parts of the
Commonwealth, without paying any
taxes thereon? And how did he
vote on that bill? And will his con-
stituents feel a general satisfac-
ton" to go down in their pockets
for the increased amount of taxes
they must necessarily pay, because
thousands of acres are taken out of
the assessed valuation of the county
and held by the State? and another

tinue the farce Of sending one? Why
