CANDIDATES
WHO ARE SURE TO WIN
POPULAR FAVOR.
Men of Good Standing and Well
Worthy OF Strong Support.

DIR. Martin +. Herman of Du-
shore, the Republican candidate for
Representative, is native of Ger
many. In the splendid schools and
universities of that country he OBJ
taincd his education. On his arriv-
al in the United States he first prac-
ticed medicine in Philadelphia but
in 1871 removed to Dushore where
he has since resided. As a man he
ranks high in the community and
as physician he is known far and
wide, not only for his skill but for
his Willingness to travel through
night and storm to attend the poor
man and his family as well as the
rich. The Doctor has not added to
his bank account by this course but
he has laid up a large account of
good will and gratitude in the hearts
of many.
DR.. Herman has been reelected
member of the School Board of Du-
shore for the seventh time and it is
worthy of mention that although
a bitter personal fight was made
against him and his opponent Was
man of worth and high standing, the
Doctor carried the town by n larger
majority than Democratic candidates
usually receive in that Borough.
DIR. Herman is a good speaker, q
man who is thoughtful and consider
ate of the interests of the people and
we predict for him a rousing vote
fromail parties.

TRUSTS AND TARIFFS
COMBINES NOT DEPENDENT UPON
PROTECTION.

| They Are the Products of New Eco
nomic Methods of Conducting Busi-
ness and Would Continue 10 Exist
Regardless of Tariff.
When the professional octopus hunt
crs inveigh against the numerous
trusts they never fail TO mention the
ice trust with others ana proceed to
eXclaim that the cure for the general
evil is free trade or approximate free
trade But the average mortal cannot
understand what the tariff has to do
with the ice business.
During the winter just ended nature
was most generous in providing ice,
and there was nothing standing in the
way of those who wanted any consid-
cradle quantity of ice from putting it
away for summer use. SO far as we
know there is no tariff on ice and we
do not believe it would pay to import
ice from the north pole or any other
point where it is to be had for the cut
ting. If the tariff duties should be
taken off cheese, for instance, we do
not think it would make any difference
ought to be recognized by those who
revel in Il long string of trusts in pic
lures and in words that the ice trust
might be well eliminated as an object
lesson when the tariff in connection
with trusts Is being considered.
Trusts are not bred by protection
in fact, they are bred because of the
new economic methods of conduct
ing business. Several of the trusts
have come to grief in recent years.
The problem Of combinations Of CAPT
tai operated to the disadvantage OF
the consumers is to settle itself by the
lapse of time and by the enforcement
of laws applied to such corporations
as are operated in violation of the law.
There are undoubtedly many trusts, so
called which do work a hardship to
the consumers at times, but some of
them are of character not to be af-
fected by either free trade or protcc-
ton. Thus any consideration OF such
business combinations should be along
lines of common sense.
General howlS against trusts prove
nothing. For Instance, the cries
against the ice, coal and meat trusts
are absurd when it is charged that
they are created by the policy of pro
lection. They would no doubt exist
under free trade just as well as they
do now Then there is the milk trust
in New York The tariff has nothing
to do with it. Those who inveigh
against trusts ought to be specific, es-
pecially when they seek to connect
combinations of capital with the tariff.
If the evil is to he fought it must be
along intelligent lines. OF course we
realize that many folks are deluded
into believing that the ice, milk, coal
and beef trusts are made possible
through the policy of protection, but
anybody who stops long enough to
think can soon discover that such COM
binations of capital would be possible
under any national system Whining

Frank W. Buck, our candidate for
Sheriff, is Il diamond in the rough,
but genuine diamond for all that.
AS for his qualifications we venture
to say that there is no man in the
county better qualified to be Sheriff
AS constable for many years he has
the reputation of being the best man
in the county to serve a writ or
warrant. He fears no man or thing,
but goes ahead with his writ, serves
it, treats the defendant kindly, keeps
him safe, and returns his writ accord
ing to law.
Mr.. Buck unfortunately lost his
left hand several years ago and he is
untitled for manual labor. No man
ever heard him complain and ne has
gone along under great disadvan-
tage and gained livelihood with
his one poor arm.
Mr.. Buck has a rough way of
speaking, and strangers might think
him inclined to be harsh, but the
man really has heart as big as am
OK and as soft as woman. No
man, according to his means, would
do more for those in distress than
Frank Buck 70 his friends he is
faithful, and his enemies, if he has
any, know he is no snake in the
grass. You can always tell where to
find him.
As for honesty and straight for
ward business conduct, he need yield
to no one. If elected, as we believe
he undoubtedly will be, Sullivan
county will have splendid officer
and deserving man will be reward
ed. The only thing against him is
that he is poor, but we do not believe
the time has yet come in Sulli-
van county when no poor man can be
elected TO office.

Secretary Wilson says it is the farm
ers who make the country rich. Two
years ago our farm exports amounted
to $1,000 100000, which is S3,00O000 for
every working day, S125,000 per hour.
$1,000 per minute and $33 per second.

After all that has been done and said
about forest trees protecting the land
preventing floods, and causing rivers
to flow at an average depth, it seems
that cloud bursts occur with freuuen-
cy in different parts of the country,
regardless of the condition of vegeta-
ton. In one day comes the news
of floods in New York. penna., the
Black Hills,a ten days rain in Kansas
cloud bursts in Texas, in the Indian
Territory. Even the kaw river in
Kansas is restless stream, and
every little while leaves its bed and
goes wandering all over the state.
And ii is remarkable fact that old
pianos are to be found in the river
bottoms of Kansas as the result of
floods. Something will have to be
done besides talking about spots ON
the sun, and appointing young men
to plant trees and draw salaries as
forest rangers.
