The rapid advancement of Emporium
is now an undisputed fact, owing to
the large number of labor employers
at good wages. With our rapid in
crease of population calls for desirable
building lots and the fact that few re-
main within the Borough limits has
created a sentiment in favor of extend
ing the Borough limits. Many of our
prominent citizens favor this move
nent and it is suggested that a public
meeting be held at Council Chamber
next Monday evening, at 1880 O'Clock,
to discuss the matter. Let every per.
son interested be in attendance and

Ringing Bells to Swarm Bees.

1t is foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing of bells or hanging" oftin
pans will cause a swarm of bees to
settle, says Country Life in America.
The real origin of this. custom dates
back to the reign of Alfred the Great,
who, in order to prevent disputes re-
garding the ownership of a swarm, or
dered that the owner should always
ring bell when his bees swarmed,
and ever since then the good farmers
wife has been rushing out with:ringing
bells whenever the bees swarmed, and
the fact that they settled verified, in
her own mind, the belief that the bell
did it.

Pigs Ears on Hicks Run.

Since the large numbering operations
of John E. Dubois, on Hicks Run,
employing now 436 men has reached
the top notch, the managers are exper-
iencing great annoyance from outsid-
ers supplying the men with the vilest
stuff, called whiskey. While the viola
tion of the law has interfered with the
work, it has crazed all who drink the
poison. Mr.. Kelley, representing Mr.
Dubois, has determined to put stop to
this business, will arrest every person
who sells his men liquor in the woods,
at the same time will discharge every
man who comes into the camps drunk.

The Potter County Graft Gases.

Judge John Ormerod, of Potter coun-
to, asked Attorney General Carson to
appoint a prosecuting attorney to look
after the cases of fmisdemeanor in office
which are to be pushed. This was
done under the provisions of a new
law. The Attorney General at once
named Representative L. T. Holt, of
Bradford county, who will take the
place Of District Attorney Stebbins,
who is incapitated as prosecuting at,
torney in these cases because he was
formerly the County Solicitor under
the Commissioners who are indicted.

The Observer.

Already the coming Fourth of July is
casting its forward shadows upon us.
The present is an excellent time to
plead for a revival of the best type of
old-time enthusiasm in this first and
greatest of our national HOLIDAYS. 1t
must be confessed that for more than
a generation past Independence Day
has not held the paramount place in
popular interest, and for this compara-
tive neglect there has been some meas.
ure of justification. Civilization in its
political aspect turns around two
centers, liberty and law, independence
and authority. These two centers are
not contradictory of each other, but
each is properly the complement of
the other. Political civilization can
no more advance on one center alone
Jnan man can walk on one leg. In
fact, political progress is very similar
to the act of walking. Just as the
body oscillates from one moving center
to the other, so also does the body poll
blC Ic0U ilOW OIl lllt C0llUOE vi lIlulNlu-
ual freedom, and now on the center
OF national unity and authority. At
the time of the Revolutionary war and
for several decades thereafter the
dominant note in our political life and
thought was liberty. The nation tried
to swing itself too far on that single
leg, and was only saved from ruinous
fall by the precipitous advance of the
other extremity. Vicksburg and Get
tysburg, though occurring on the date
ofthe Festival of Liberty, marked the
shifting Of the national weight from
liberty to union. The Civil war was
not war for independence but war
for union. The firm establishment of
the Union has been a later achieve
ment than the winning of indepen-
dence, and consequently the spirit of
1865 has been dominating us for forty
years rather than the spirit of 1916.
There are not wanting signs that the
genius of organization and centralized
authority has been developed of late
years in disproportionate excess ofthe
spirit of individual freedom and indie.
pendence. The national government
itself is not too strong, though some of
our Democratic friends affect to be-
lieve so. The organization which in
its bulk and strength threatens the in
terests of individual freedom and indie
pendence is the organization of indus
try. The authority which threatens the
same interest is the illegitimate auth
ority of political bosses. We profess
to be democratic in ourspirit and insti-
tutions but in reality there is very much
in our practical system that savors for
more of monarchy and despotism than
1t does of democracy. The time has
come for revival of the spirit of in
dividual freedom and indep endence.
At least the time has come when such
a revival is greatly needed. The Oh.
server is not pleading for the disorgan-
ization of industry nor for the dismem-
berment of trusts and corporations:
but he does think that the only
way to avoid the establishment of a
new fendal system, benevolent or
otherwise, is through the cultivation
of the spirit and power of the individ-
ual. The Observer believes that time
is rapidly approaching when Indepen-
dence Day will possess a meaning
larger and richer than ever before.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
( From our Regular Oorrespondent.l

Washington, May 2Sth, 1905.
Editor Press
Considerable satisfaction is ex-
pressed in Washington at the gen
eral results of the Ohio convention.
In the main, the Ohio platform is
a hearty endorsement of the ad-
ministration and its expressions on
the subject of rate legislation are
particularly gratifying. The plat
form would have been even more
satisfactory had it endorsed the
administration recommendations
in favor of tariff adjustment but
it is, as a whole, so satisfactory
that there is no disposition to criti-
else it's one defect. Secretary
Taft's frank statement, made as
chairman of the convention, that
the majority in Congress will be
compelled to take some action with
a view to obvisting the steady de-
ficit does not agree with that made
at st. Louis by Secretary Shaw,
recently, when he said, eve are
not worried about the deficit" but
Mr.. Tafts version is the one en-
tertained by the President and
majority of the members of his
cabinet. Secretary Taft told the
Ohio Convention that Congress
would have to restore the war
taxes, increase the internal revenue
taxes, or 50 readjust the tariff as
to augment its revenue producing
power.
Speaking to Il high protection
State like Ohio, Secretary Taft
doubtless deemed it wise to go no
further than to present the alter
ternatives, but there is no doubt,
in the minds of those who have
discussed the subject recently with
Mr.. Taft, that he believes the
tariff schedules should be readjust-
ed, as do all the members of the
Cabinet, except Secretaries Shaw,
Wilson and Metcalf, all of whom
are inveterate stand patters.
The Senate committee on Inter
stateCommerce has finally adjourn
ed, after taking testimony on the
railway rate question for upwards
of thirty days, without action.
At the executive session of the
committee held after the last hear
ing, however, it was developed that
the committee is unanimously OPP
posed to the character of legisla-
tion recommended by the Presi-
dent. The committee will meet
again two weeks before Congress
convenes and will report bill
with which it hopes to head off the
passage by the House of a measure
in accord with the views Of the
President. This bill will amDlifv
the Elkins anti-rebate law so as to
prevent any possibility Of rebates,
which curtail the profits of the
railroads. 1t will place the private
car lines under the supervision of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the results of which will be
problematical. 1t will not dele
gate to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power to fix a
maximum rate where the existing
rate is found to be unjust and in
stead of increasing the salaries of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners, so that body may be
made more efficient, as the Presi-
dent desires, it will diminish the
duties of the Commission and make
it a less important body.

Memorial Day Services.


The Memorial Day service in the
First Presbyterian Church, last Sunday
evening, was we'll attended and was an
occasion of tender and pathetic inter-
est to the thinning ranks of the
civil war veterans and their friends.
The members of the local Post G.. A.
r., occupied seats reserved for their
use in front and Immediately back of
them sat the ladies of the Relief Corps.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
Robt. McCaslin, who took for his
theme, Eight the Good Fight OF
Faith" 1t must have inspired those
present to have listened to this graphic
painting of many of the leading
engagements Of the war, while the
moral lessons he pointed were pertin-
ent and practical in the highest degree
and must have elected the determined
resolve not to shirk ones obligation, to
defend with pure life and unshaken
principles of righteousness, the cause
of humanity of to-day. The clergy of
the other churches assisted in the
services, while appropriate and inspir-
ing music was rendered by the com
bined choirs. The chancel was decor
ated with the national colors, while a
profusion of pretty flowers, further
added to the beauty and suggestive
ness of the scene.
AT THE CEMETERY.
The members of the G. A. r., and
the ladies of the Relief Corps, bearing
the beautiful blossoms of Spring time
marched in procession to the Newton
Cemetery on Tuesday morning, where,
preliminary to the decoration of the
graves, the impressive ritual of the
Grand Army was read, an appro-
pirate address delivered by the Rev. O.
S. Metzler and an invocation offered
by the Rev. j. NJ. Robertson. The
sweetness and solemnity of this service
was subject of general remark
Many visitors to the city of the dead,
drawn thither that they might perform
like ministry of love for their depart
ed friends, gathered about the little
groupe and with barred heads paid them
the tribute of reverent silence. Up
on their return from the cemetery the
ladies of Relief Corps served bounti-
ful luncheon at the Post headquarters.
Several addresses of a reminiscent
character were made and happy Soc
ial hour had by ALL
Committees representing the Post
visited the Catholic and all cemeteries
of the comfy, decorating the graves of
the veterans.
