The Supreme Court Sustains Webb
MCNalI.

The legislature of 1889 passed a
law authorizing the Superintendent
of Insurance to collect two per cent
tax on the premiums paid insurance
companies. McNall began collecting
Immediately after the act authorizing
it was passed. Suit was brought
against him by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. on the ground that Nc
Nails action made the law retroactive.
Judge Hazen decided in favor of the
company. The Supreme Court holds
McNall'S action was legal.
McNall had turned the amounts
collected into the treasury as required
by law. If the company had been
successful in it's suit, the state would
have had the two per cent tax on 1898
premiums to pay back to the Insur-
ance Companies.

A Phillips County Enterprise.

The Philiipsburg Herald was found
ed in 1917, and has been published
continuously ever since. 1t is the
oldest paper in the county and with
one or two exceptions is the Oldest in
the Sixth Congress Sional district. 1t
has grown up with the town and
county and very materially aidedIia
their progress. 1t still survives and
is on tirmer basis than ever before and
better equipped for public service.
The new editor also is a Phillips
county production having been born
in the county and resident of it all
his life. These facts give the Herald
right to boast that it is the pioneer
OF the county newspaper business.
That it has stood the test of time is
proof of its stability. Your patronage
is solicited.

The Independent Voter.

The man who scratches his ticket
has come to stay. There is getting to
be- more of him all the time. And in
him is the hope of the country. He
is leavening the lump of politics. He
forces all parties to make good nomi-
nations, He stands aS a m enace to
any political organization that takes
up unwholesome or dishonest measures
His very presence in a community
breeds a certain respect for decency
in the mind OF the machine politician.
The influence OF the independent
voter is salutary. The party boss
must reckon with him, for this man,
who marks his ballot as he pleaSeS is
beyond the power of the machine.
The growth Of independence in poll
tics is the most promising sign Of the
last decade. 1t shows that men are
thinking and have the courage to ex-
press their thoughts. 1t shows that
men are too big to be ruled by faction,
when that faction goes wrong. 1t in
dicateS the presence OF an ava kening
public conscience.
The independent voter may class
himself, in name, with some party.
On the larger questions he votes that
ticket. The very fact that he is indie
pendent would indicate that he is of a
character to cherish principle. Ii one
or the other party stand for the idea
in which he believes he will ma turally
align himself with that party, at
least in national elections.
But this fact will not cause him to
vote for bad men or measures, simply
because they happen to have his par
ticular name or brand. His love of
principle itself has liberated him
from SubServience to.a name. He is
as ready to help clean out the Augean
stables in one party as in another.
He holds himself in reserve to smite
the man that betrayS trust. He is
outside the ring and is not dependent
on it for preferment. He is unselfSh
in performing his civic duty, He can
not be bought, or frightened or ca
j0led. He is ordinarily unob truSive
in political way, is not noisy, does
not haunt headquarters. and he only
speaks once. That is with his ballot
on election day. But he succeeds in
making himself heard.
He is intelligence. otherwise he
would not be independent. He usual
ly belongs to the great middle class,
the safety of any nation. He may be
a business man, professional man or
mechanic. In no way does he de-
pend on politics for a living. He is
we'll informed and high-minded' He
cares particularly for no party, except
as means to an end. He is generally
taxpayer, and expects what he
pays to be expended economic
ally and honestly He is slow to
anger, will bear much in the way of
corruption and Incompetence from
his paid servants in office, but he
moves decisively when aroused.
The day of belonging to a party, In
the sense of being its slave, is passing
out.-Denver Tins.

Let Us Have Harmony.

BY consulting the figures given in
another place, 1T will be seen that the
political situation In Phillips county
is anomalous. The vote on the state
ticket shows that the county is still
republican, even though the fusion
lists succeeded in electing a majority
of the county ticket.
1t is currently remarked upon the
streets that the "boss busters, did it.
Well, let that be as it may, it is the
verdict Of the people and must stand
for two years. If the republicans who
voted with the fusiOnists are not
satisfied they have only themselves to
blame. If they are satisfied then all
ought to be for no one can question
the electors right to cast an indepen-
dent ballot, and the majority ought to
and does rule.
Whether the reasons of the busters"
were sufficient to Justify a bolt.
little matters now. 1t is too late to
change the result. The fact re-
mains, however, that in the republi-
can party, on county matters, there is
a split, and one which at present
seems hard to remedy. How long it
will last depends upon the views
which the politicians take of the
matter, and their future actions and
Vaccinations. The people of the re-
publican party and of the county by
the result OF the election have said,
we want our voice In naming our Off
GERS, and it is very reaso nable to ex-
pect similar action upon their part
in the future if they are not properly
recognized.
That the party has right to ex-
pect the votes OF It's adherents is a
fact admitted by all. That there is
higher principle than mere party
principle ought to be as freely admit
ted and that party, or its leaders
may overstep the limits which bind
the members of the organization to-
gether is equally admissible.
The party to be of service to the
government must survive and wax
strong; but it cannot survive many
serious splits.
The condition which exists in our
county politics also exists in our state
politics; and the same is true in many
other states. If the republican party
is to survive, the splits must be
healed.
The place to begin is at home. Let
US straighten out our own affairs.
When we have done this, we have
materially advanced the cause of re
publicaniSm.
How to do it, that is the problem,
The prime essential is to harmonize
the two factions. That is what
makes the matter difficult. The peo-
pie have said we must have a ticket
that we can heartily endorse other
wise, we will not vote it. The leaders
have said, vote the ticket at all odds,
whether 1t suits you or not.
Here let US consider. We ought to
vote the ticket: but we ought rather
to vote for the man. The republican
party have men of ability, principle
and unquestioned integrity and plenty
of them.
Let the party unite and putting
aside all petty personal grievances,
select from these their standard
bearers. Let them unite as republic
cans, not factions. and republican
success in Phillips county will be
assured in 1904, but let this union,

7ENNYPAckER sELF-coNDEMNED
The light has been turned on and
the people of Pennsylvania may now
know the plain truth concerning Mr..
Quay's latest confidence game. No
fair-minded and patriotic citizen, no
matter what his partisan or factional
views, can read the remarkable story
given in our news columns without
surprise, indignation and shame. Here
is calmly presented the cold facts that
show Samuel W. Pennypacker to be
utterly unworthy the confidence and
support of the people of the great
state he has so deeply discredited.
Here is an Indictment against which
no successful defense can be made. 1t
is shown, beyond all doubt, that again
the autocratic head of the odious ma
chine has put forth candidate for
governor who is the boss very own.
1t must be clear to every voter that
If this masquerading pretender would
thus serve his would-be master before
and after election as candidate, II
elected he would be under his abso-
lutte and degraded control. If this Is
done in the green tree, what would be
done in the dry?
If 1t be true. as has been so loudly
claimed, that ex-Judge Pennypacker
represents personal and family honor,
professional and official probity, ele-
waited public spirit, the case becomes
all the more enigmatical from the
standpoint Of the good citizen who ab-
hors the ways of political outlaws. 1t
is pertinently asked, how could man
imbued with right ideas, enamored Of
pure ideals. desirous of maintaining
the honor of the commonwealth, de-
liberately and ostentatiously become
the public apologist for and defender
and eulogist of Quayism and all that
1t stands for, and this, too, while hold
ing a place supposed to be wholly re-
moved from the influence of partisan
politics?
EX-Judge Pennypacker not only sees
none of the multiplied and mountain
GUS sins Of Quayism; he even has the
audacity to speak admiringly of him as
pennsylvania s most distinguished
statesman, whose fame is assured as
one who has served his country we'll"
What a monstrous injustice to the long
historic line of eminent publicists and
pure patriots, from Benjamin Frank
lin to Pig Iron" Kelley and the in
trepid Randall, not one of whom would
have been guilty of any of the mani
fold offenses against civic righteous
ness which have darkened the career
of this political freebooter during the
past 80 years. Such an objectionable
insult to the intelligence, patriotism
and virtue of the people of Pennsyl-
vania never was put forth. 1t should
and will be resented at every fireside
where there is abiding reverence for
truth, patriotism and justice.
The machine candidate stands hope
lessly self-condemned. According to
his own words and acts. Pennypacker-
ism and Quayism mean one and the
same thing. Thus the supreme issue
is presented. A vote for Pennypacker
will justly be taken as meaning vote
of unqualified endorsement OF Quay
ism, declaration for its indefinite
continuance in state, municipal and
local government in Pennsylvania,
There is no escape from this conclu'
sion.

Heavy Damage to Property Results,

Utica. N. Y, Sept. 18.-A conserva-
tive estimate of the damage caused by
the breaking Of one Of the reservoirs
In this city places the loss at about
$50. 900. exclusive of the damage to the
reservoir itself.
Nearly 10000, 900 gallons Of water es.
capped. but the water supply Of the city
is not impaired, as there are four other
large reservoirs. and they are all filled.
The buildings and bridges destroyed
were neither large nor valuable, and
there was fortunately no loss Of life.
The break occurred in the daytime
and gave warning sufficient to enable
the authorities to alarm everybody in
the threatened locality. Only one fam
lily failed to heed the warning. and
when the water rose about their home
the women and children were got out
by the police with only the inconven-
