A Plain Statement.
Editor Press

EtdttOr ITeSS:-
| have been accused by some ofmy political
friends to have helped in the defeat of our can
didate for Commissioner, at last election.
/ wish to state that am no boter from the
Republican party and was never guilty of turn
ing down any candidate that was regularly
nominated by the party for any state or county
Office and at the last election voted the ticket
straight as l always have for the last forty
two years.
Any little individual difference between a can
didate and ! would not alter my vote in the least,
and cause me to turn him down In township
matters do not deny that if good friend of
mine was candidate for office on an opposing
ticket he might get my vote, irrespective ofparty.
But under any other circumstances all the men
in the United States could not change my views
on party lines.
Hoping this statement will be satisfactory to
those who are under the impression that turned
down candidate, Charles Gleason, for Com
missioner. | am a Republican in all its princi-
pies and will remain so as long as 1 have the
right of suffrage.
Yours truly,
or

Rebuked.

Those individuals who hoped to de.
feat Col. Barnett by making base
charges against his career as a soldier,
must have felt rather small when the
returns came in on election night. The
Chief assaults were made from the
Colone's own county of Washington,
and from Fayette and WestmorelaId.
He received 6,SO4 votes to 6,SS3 for
Judge Brown his loss being only 79
votes and those came from quarter
antagonistic to Senator Quay. In
Westmoreland, out of a vote of p, 900,
Col. Barnett had 13, $50 to Judge
Browns 13, 567, III votes less and in a
county where the most despicable at
tacks were made. Fayette gave Bar
nett 1881 to 1928 for Brown and 1926
for Mitchell. This in the hot-bed of
the slanger-mongers. Col. Barnetts
vindication at home is complete, and
it must be calling to certain beauties
in Fayette, Washington and West
moreland to read the returns of those
counties.

The Value of a Child's Time.

In his address before the LuZerne
county teachers institute last Thurs
day, State Superintendent Nathan @.
Schaeffer talked on "The Value and
Waste of Child Time" Here is an ex-
tract from what he said:
can educated man is usually paid
by the month. Strike an average, be-
ginning with the President of the
United States, the presidents of insur-
ance companies and other large corpo-
rations and you will find that $1,000
year is modest estimate of the earn
ings of an educated man. The unedu-
eated man can earn $4,000 in forty
years. The educated man can earn
S4S, 600 in the same period. Subtracting
$1S, 900 from $48, O00 you find the value
of child time in school.
"Recently the Legislature made the
term seven months instead ofsix. Add
twenty days to the school life of 200,-
600 pupils, and estimate each day of
child time at school as being worth $40,
you will find what has been done for
the children ofthe State. The average
length of school life is seven years, of
two hundred days each. If for 81 ,000,-
900 put into the school you can get
$3.50, 100000 increased earnings, you
must see the value of a boys time
when rightly spent at school.

AS at the beginning of the war with

president to be deluged with applications

seeking appointments for constituents
who want TO get In the service. The
president has held out no encourage

pointed from civil life. The statement
also Ia made that the collection Of officers
practically has been made. and that they
win be largely promotions Of men already
In the service.
While the preference Is to be given In all
appointments To Officers of the volunteer
regiments who have been serving In the
Philippines, II Ia said here that q major
ity OF these desire to come home and be
mustered out with their regiments.
The war department has kept careful
record of the services and achievements OF
every volunteer officer since the war with
Spain began. and Secretary Alger states
that good selections for appointments and
promotions can readily be made. The de-
partment Is now endeavoring to ascertain
Just how many OF the volunteer officers
win remain In the service. 1t seems quite
likely that those who do will gain pro-
motion when the new appointments are
made.
The suggestion that Cuban troops be
enlisted TO serve I'm the Philippines does
not meet the approval OF the war depart
ment. and Gen. Otis himself has advised
against It. For this there are two main
reasons: Gen. Otis says the troops which
served In Cuba do not stand the Philip
pine climate well. and besides the govern
ulent does not wish to take the risk Of
eendng To Lu1on soldiers whose continued
loyalty may be questioned. II In thonght
