EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 1904
Art Exhibit. 400 Pictures, Nov. o-I2.

For the benefit of the public schools,
to raise fund by which the walls OF
the school rooms may be decorated
permanently with pictures of the high
est artistic merit, the Horace K.
Turner art exhibit will be brought to
Emporium on the above mentioned
date.
This collection of pictures is made
up of carbon-prints and color-prints,
all reproductions of the great master
paintings of the world.
The exhibit is loaned free to the
schools and will be placed on exhibit
in the old Presbyterian church build
ing. An admission fee of 10 cents for
children and 10 cents for adults, single
admission, will be charged to view it.
The terms on which the exhibit is
loaned are that the money raised by
this means shall be expended for
pictures purchased from this company.
Prices of all pictures are stated and
are guaranteed to be as low as the
same work can be obtained elsewhere
Subscriptions will also be solicited
from our citizens to swell this fund.
A committee is now operating toward
this end.
We believe that all will see the de-
sirability of having placed on the walls
ofour school rooms copies of the great
paintings, The originals are visited
by thousands at great sacrifice No
one disputes the influence OH character
resulting from such a source. Uncon-
sciously the mind is influenced by the
grandeur of the painting.
At present the walls are destitute
practically of any permanent decora-
ton of this kind.
Any person 80 desiring may order
for the decorations of their homes
pictures similar to those in the exhibit
at the time the exhibit is made, on
which the school fund will realize a
commission.
Prof. III. F. Stauffer on his visit last
week spoke very enthusiastically of
the success ofthe exhibit as used by
him in Millville year ago. We think
our pupils and people should have the
opportunity of seeing this beautiful
collection and have acted accordingly.

Some rIOre Smoke.

The East Emporium Independent
has been making strained effort in
its recent issues to convince eight
hundred and twenty-one voters that
they have been treated with ignominy
and their votes cast aside as of no con-
sequence. One would suppose from
the language of the Independent that
the Legislature had thrown out svery
vote that was cast for Mr.. Blumle two
years ago. AS matter of fact the
number of votes thrown out as illegal
was one hundred and ninety-seven, re-
ducing Mr.. Blumle's legal vote to six
hundred and twenty-four, minority
of all the legal votes cast. The will of
these six hundred and twenty-four
legal voters was trampled upon only
in the manner and sense in which the
will of any minority is set aside

The Calamity Howl.

According to General Manager
Hockey, our county is sure to dwindle
and die as soon as the Howards finish
their timber, which will be in about
three years,
There is one man in particular who
for ten years has preached the opposite
and that man is Mr.. Josiah Howard
our next Representative in the Legis.
lature. Mr.. Howard not only believes
in big and bright future for our
county but is backing up his belief not
only by continued purchases of farm
lands and building permanent improve
ments, but by investing money in new
business enterprises, and our large pay
rolls and increased population make it
look as though some of the bright
future were already here.
No, Mr.. Hockey we are not diving
and not only Mr.. Howard, but the
whole Republican party, stand for Ex-
pansion, Progress and Growth.
'"The man who believes that old
things were best, belongs in paralyzed
China, but he who thinks that today
is the best God ever made and that to.
morrow will be better belongs in the
midst of life on this virile, progressive
Western Continent"-Selah

A West Virginia Republican.

A. S. Zaner, of Morgantown, West
Va, formerly aresident ofthis county,
was an agreeable PRESS visitor on
Wednesday. Mr.. Zaner, who is in the
employ of the Standard Oil Company,
is emphatic in his declaration that
West Virginia will give Roosevelt and
Fairbanks a good safe majority
While the Republicans of West Va,
have great respect for candidate Davis
they openly delare they cannot vote
10 destroy the prosperity ofthe country
by voting against "the robber tariff"
that has developed their state.

Right Thinking rlen

Mr.. Josiah Howard, the Republican
candidate for Assembly, the honorable
business man, consistent christian
gentleman, the employer of hundreds
of laboring men, needs no aattering
mention. The people know him as a
true man, having the welfareof Gamer
on county always at heart and will elect
him to represent Cameron county in
the Assembly. Right-minded voters
are thinking men and they think right
when their homes are in danger from
the passage of unwise legislation
Hence they will support Josiah How
ard, who is engaged in the upbuildng
of Cameron county.

the sample ballots were seen that the
lists of thirty-four Presidential cleo.
tors for each party would appear al.
most exactly like the old party col
umns. AS matter of fact, they COW
or about three-fourths of the entire
ballot overshadowing the little
groups" of State and local candidates
at the bottom of the sheet and the new
party squares at the left side.
The danger is at once apparent.
The average voter, seeing the familiar
old "party columns" as he believes,
naturally will mark his cross at the
top of it as he has been doing for ten
years, and think he has voted ior the
whole party ticket. In fact he will
have voted only for the Presidential
electors
At the head of this column may be
found the way the ballot will start.
If you make mark in the place desig-
mated by an X as above shown, 1t will
mean vote for every candidate on the
Republican ticket. 1t you just make
mark to the right of the names of
Roosevelt & Fairbanks it will mean a
vote for the Presidential ticket only.
Mark your ballot as indicated above,

HOW TO VOTE.

One glance at advance sample copies
of the official ballot for the November
election in Pennsylvania is sufficient
to convince politicians that an extra
ordinary blunder has been made in
the new ballot law.
The last Legislature, passed what
was known as the "Focht Ballot law"
abolishing the old "party column"
with circle at:ts head for 'sstraight'
party vote, grouping car iidates'
names under the title of tho offices to
which they aspire, but retaining the
straight" vote provisions by substitu-
ting party square, at the side at
the left of the ballot for the abandoned
party circle" and column.
That worked very nicely last fall,
the grouping" system doing away
with the old cumbersome "blanket
ballot.n
For Presidential years, however, the
new law provides that the names of
Presidential electors shall be printed
in party groups or columns as they
were under the old law, single cross
mark in the square" at the head of
each electoral column being a vote for
the entire national ticket.
Apparently nobody realized until

What Has Mr.. BIumIe Done?

From the very first it has been evil
dent that it has been the purpose of
the Independent to becloud the real is.
sues of the legislative campaign by an
attempt to keep the air filed with
"vihdication" smoke. This policy has
been mistaken one, for the attempt
TO awaken enthusiasm on behalf of
"vindicating" Mr.. Blumle has been a
most dismal failure Aside from the
stated outcries of the Independent it
self, there is no audible demand that
Mr. Blumle shall be elect, d as n mark
OF vindication. The que, ton before
the voters is one that conce rms the re-
Iative merits of the candidates them
selves and of the principles for which
they stand. No intelligent person will
wish to waste his time in listening TO
appeals for ''vindicationn until it has
first been made plain to him that Mr..
Blumle's qualifications and record
stamp him as-the man who ought to
be elected. One would naturally ex-
pect to find Mr.. Blumle's supporters
pointing with pride to his record at
Harrisburg and dwelling fondly upon
the particulars of it; but this natural
expectation has not been met. Is
there something significant in the fact
that Mr.. Blumle and his supporters
have maintained such profound sill
ence regarding his legislative record?
A correspondent of the PRESS has in.
timated that when a certain measure
affecting the whiskey interests was be-
fore the House, Mr.. Blumle was re.
corded as absent, not voting" An
appeal to the records can easily settle
the matter. Why should not the In
dependent devote some OF its space in
these closing days of the campaign to
the recital of the several acts which
make up Mr.. Blumle's legislative rec
ord? If his record is not one to be
ashamed of, why should the Indepen-
dent withhold it from the people? If
it is one to be ashamed of, then under
no circumstances can a "yindication,'
cry be in order. If Mr.. Blumle's rec
ord be mere zero, it may be multi
piled by a thousand "vindication"
cries, and the product will still be zero.
That his record has been anything
more than zero does not appear
from any information that the Inde-
pendent has seen fit to impart to it's
readers. The people would really like
to know what Mr.. Blumle has done, or
not done, as legislator. Will the In
dependent meet this reasonable de-
mand?

An exchange gives this excellent adj

to hunt the frisky squirrel or rabbit or
the timid pheasant should be careful
how they disobey the trespass notices
posted on the properties. They should
also be careful about shooting. Few
land owners would refuse permission
to hunt on his premises if he were ask
ed, and uy getting permission a hunter
will know that he is safe from having
the trespass law enforced on him, and
then the property owner will know
some one is hunting in his woods and
will warn his family to stay in doors
until the danger is passed.

Mr.. Blumle acted as Representative
for Cameron county two terms, four
years in all, and drew about four thons-
and dollars from the state as pay for
salary, travelling expenses, etc., for the
two sessions.
During the first term no one heard
what he did. In the last session he
presented his Baby bill'' and made
speeches for it.
Some unimportant bills he voted for
but ordinarily he "dodged" bills be-
cause they were Republican or because
they were antagonistic to his own busi-
ness.
