that It Is an easy thing for a champion
prize fighter to go from town to town
knocking out what the short-haired
fraternity call "dubs," but the big
fighters themselves win freely admit
that the task carries with II many
dangers.
The best illustration Of this truism
was Champion James J. Jeffries' exper-
fence with the now celebrated miner
Jack Munroe. After Jeffries disposed

The Burdick Case.

Whether the murderer of Edwin Il
Burdick of Buffalo is ever discovered or
not the tragedy should serve as some
thing of warning to society foik Oh
certain promiscuous class. The thirty
odd couples who composed the Elmwood
club, the social organization to whlch
the Burdick- k-Paine-Pennen coterle be
longed were evidently inJudiclous, IN
discl eet and much addicted, to the alto
gether habit This club was sometimes
called the Dancing club by its members
and by outsiders the Kissing club. Inc
members have been burning letters ana
photos in expectation OF an official VISIT,
and there has been general overhaullng
of escritoires and cabinets. The dread
of getting mixed up in the Burdick
case is not fancied one. The police
say that at least half dozen divorce
suits in preparation will be hushed for
the present, because the parties most in
terested moved in the same set as
Edwin l.. Burdick and his wife. 1t IS
said that in that set it was a common
thing for young husbands to make open
love to anothers wife after a short
married life. An official who has been
most interested in the case with the
district attorney said; This is the
hardest case imaginable to handle We
are dealing with people of more than
ordinary intelligence-mena and women
of the world, trained in sin and vice and
accustomed to surprises. They are
people OF great shrewdness and entirely
selfish. Some of them who could give
us valuable information will not do so
for fear of notariety - Elk.

MEETING OF THE COUNTY
COMMITTEE.

The Republican County Committee
win meet in the Court House in Butler
next Saturday to set day for the he
publican Primary for this year; and as
the State Convention has been called Tor
Wednesday, May 27th, some Saturday
of that month, previous to that DATE
will probably be selected.
1t is not probable that the Candidates
for Jury Commissioner intend doing any
extensive canvassing. nor that there
will be any contest for delegates to the
State Convention, as the slated candl-
dates for the State offices will be nom1-
mated without opposition; but as next
year will bring with it the contests
for the Assembly and Congressional
nominations, and as the control OF
the County Committee may be OF i'm
port, there will probably be more or less
of an effort in each precinct to secure
the Return Judges or County Commit
teemen.
There is no reason, however, why
either of the factions IL the party should
Ncontrol the Committee, and If quiet,
sensible men are selected for Commit
teemen, neither will.
As to rules-we must have rule gov
erning the nomination Congressional
candidate for the district the two
counties must agree upon this-and we
renew our assertion that the only pro-
per method of making Senatorial and
Congressional nominations when two
or more counties compose the district is
by the popular vote of the district re-
ga-dless of county lines. Any other
arrangement places the party nomlna-
tions, in conferee districts in the hands
of the party bosses.
The resolution adopted by the Com
mittee of last year, read as follows
Resolved That Committee OF three
be appointed by the Chair to amend and
formulate rules to regulate the printing
and distribution of tickets to govern
the method of voting and qualification
Of voters at the primaries; and to this
an amendment was added, that the
primaries be held at the regular polling
places This resolution was adopted
and Chairman Leighner appointed Jos.
Criswell, G. NJ. Brown and Carl Shanor
as the Committee.
What changes are proposed IN the
printing and distribution of tickets
for the primary we do not know. Here
tofore each candidate has had his own
tickets printed and distributed. and we
have heard Of no complaints Candi-
dates as rule are capable of attending
to their own business, and the idea OF
placing everything in the hands OF the
County Chairman, and having all the
candidates pay him sums of money
ranging from $50 to 500. he to make
all the announcements, and have all the
tickets printed and distributed, savors
too much of machinery; makes the po-
sition of County Chairman very prof
liable one. and would probably increase
the friction between the factions in the
party what the party in the
county needs is less scheming and more
Peace.

HARRISBURG.

On Wednesday of last week the con-
frmed Quay adherents in the House
rebelled against the orders issued by
the political agent of Israel W. Dur
ham and defeated the Susquehanna
canal and water filtration eminent do
main bills. Next morning messages
were received from Mr. Durham s
southern resort demanding that the
vote by which the bills we're defeated
be reconsidered. From Quay's resort
which is located just 16 miles from that
of Durham in the Florida flower beds,
followed messages demanding that the
bill be undisturbed.
Out of the conflicting orders came
much apprehension on the part of the
members and for the first time this
session it was demonstrated that Dur
ham is absolute, so far as the Legisla-
ture is concerned The bills were
dragged from their graves and the vo+e
by which they were defeated was re-
considered by an easy majority No
chances were taken to pass them, how
ever. The Dnrham people being will
ing to let well enough alone after they
had resuscitated the bills and had them
placed upon the postponed calendar
Debating legislation from their
Florida bungalos is great sport for the
bosses, but they don't Away agree.
During last week, the following ap-
propriations were passed finally by .he
House:
Jefferson hospital Philadelphia. $500,
900; University of Pennsylvania, $780,
900; Antietam memorial tablets. S32-
500; INDECENT insane, 81, 1,S00,00 Elwyn
training school for feeble minded, 1914

cal hospital, Philadelphia, $3.50. 600;
Pennsylvania museum, $50, 900; Homeo-
pathie State Hospital, for Insane, $40o
900.
On Tuesday the bill creating De
partment of Labor, and providing for
the arbitration Of strikes, passed the
House finally; also bill amending the
borough improvements law and other
bills. The charter of canal company
was repealed in the interest. it was said,
of Dick Quay and company.
Seueral Pittsburgers appeared before
the Judiciary General committee in op-
position to the Charities BILL which
provides for the appointment of three
commissioners>at $5,0 per year, each,
and with 81, 600 extra for expenses, but
fixes no limit to number of persons
who may be appointed to positions aE-
der the commission. If the bill is pass
ed it will build up the greatest machine
known in any country. 1t will have
under its control the trustees and man
ayers of every institution getting State
aid. The commission is to have the
power to purchase everything needed
by the institutions and nothing will be
paid for out of the State treasury that
lacks the sanction of this body"
