We Are for rlen.

At the risk of being misjudged and
more or less censured, we take the lib
erty of calling the attention of the
/ Republicans of Adams county to the
fact that if they expect to win out in
the coming November election it will
be most necessary that the names OF
only moral, capable, tried and true
men be northumberland men who can
carry their own precincts. We be-
lieve in long service in public. posi-
tions, in absolute fitness and reason
able progression. A candidate should
have at least two qualifications which
are indispensable for public welfare
honesty and competency. In the
scramble for places on a ticket too
often has the prime object, been lost
sight of in the trade and traffiicking
contingent to convention, and the
party as a whole has had to pay the
freight on a lot of dead weight. Too
frequently have men been placed in
nomination by the different parties
regardless OF their fitness for the Office
to which they aspire and consider
would be "good job" with the result
that there has been incumbents in
county offices who would make better
hands feeding pigs or digging pota-
toes than trying to be an official. We
are DESTROYS of there being the best Of
men on every ticket. Good, intelli
gent, just and fair government and
economical administration is what
we all want, and it can only be ac-
complished by each citizen personally
looking to and taking hand in the
primaries and assisting in sending
substantial aud representative men to
the county convention. At this par
ticular time it seems almost a crime
that we should retrograde in any d.
rection, much less in county affairs.
We would, therefore, urge the Repub-
iicans OF Adams county to place men
in the field that fill the bill for posi-
tions OF trust they may be elected to.
Especially is this true OF Representa-
tive. 1t is our duty to select a man
that has standing in his own COM
munity-one of known integrity AMI
ability.

Edwin Sttatemeyer, in his Boys
Life of Mckinley" gives an animated
picture of the great statesman's fidelity
as member of Congress.
"We could always rely on Mckinley,
said one of his fellow Representatives
'There wasn't an industry that he did
not know something about, and gener-
ally he could give you the figures of
that industry's output offhand. or
course, coming from an iron district,
one would expect him to know all about
the iron trade; but he could tell you
about the cotton trade of the South,
of the lumber trade of the Northwest,
Just as well. remember one day a
member asked him offhand about the
glass factories in the country and the
value of the output, and Mckinley gave
him the actual figures out of his head.
l could hardly believe him, and jotted
the figures down on pad. Afterward
l found they were correct"

The popular phrase, go way back

many sources, said New York music
publisher, "but the true story has never

zone night about a year ago several
colored sports gathered in a saloon in
the Tenderloin owned by negro and
patronized chiefly by men of his race.
In the party were Smithy, the tenor,
and Bully, the tout. Smthy came from
the West and dressed in the height Of
fashion, while Bully's home was in the
South.
Bully had had quite turn of ill-luck
and his attire suffered in consequence.
Smithy began kidding him about it.
Finally Bully got angry. He sized
Smithy up from head to foot for few
seconds and then sailed in:

'Smithy did go way back and sit
down and was not heard of the rest of
the night. Al Johns, a colored musi-
clan, who was present, thought the
phrase was unique, and the next day he
told Elmer Bowman, negro song
writer. about It,
Johns thought 1t would make good
title for a song, SO Bowman wrote some
verses which Johnson put to music. In
the story of the song Bowman stuck to
the incidents that took place in the
saloon that night. and when the song
was published it at once became popu-
lar.
THE phrase was used good deal by
the opposite political parties in the last
campaign"

ALASKAN GOLD.

A million years in the smelling pots
or the great earth's furnace core,
1t bubbled and boiled as the old gods
toiled
Before it was time to pour.
A million years in the giant molds
Of granite and mica-schist
1t cooled and lazy in the self-same way
That into their hearts it hissed.
A million years, and the clouds of steam
Were rivers and lakes and seas;
And the mastodon to his grave had gone
In the coal that once was trees.
When the Master Molder raised his
hand,
He shattered the gray rock mold
And sprinkled its core from shore to
shore,
And the dust that fell was gold.

An English amateur who stands
among the recognized leaders, has this
to say ON hand camera pictures that is
interesting: 'Under-exposed and over
developed;' this is the true verdict
which should be pronounced on perhaps
three out of every four hand camera
negatives. The error of over-deyelop-
ment Is to a large extent due TO the
widespread but very misleading notion,
viz, that prolonged development will
bring out the details. TO put this fine,
crusted, old delusion in other words, it
development compensates for, or Is
equivalent to, exposure. The hungry
school boy is sometimes told that the
thickness of the bread compensates for
/ the thlnness of the butter, a maxim
which sounds all right, but is not easy
to swallow"
All amateurs ought to do their own
developing. 1t is really the most fnter-
esting feature of picture taking. Any
one with intelligence enough to go in
when it rains can snap shutter and
then take the plates or film to a pro-
fessional to develop. That is not learn
ing anything, and moreover it is expen-
sive. Do your own work. Get intimate
