LANCASTER New ERA, March Ia, 1905.
Trade during the past week was mod
crate in volume, as, in fact, it had to be,
for there is little else on the market ex-
cept the 1904 crop, which iss only partly
packed and therefore, cannot be said to
be on sale. If our warehouses we're to
some extent stocked with the goods of
former years business would undoubted>
ly be lively, because there is steady in
quiry for goods that are ready for cigar
manufacturers purposes. The sales that
have been reported to us are as follows:
Raymond A. Heiland sold Toes; w. r..
Cooper sold 3O0cs; B. F. Good & Co. sold
145cs; John w. Brenneman sold "a boxes;
1O0cs sold by Sondheimer & Smith, and
A. K. Mann l0Ocs. In all, 774cs. For
the corresponding week of last year the
sales were 364cs.
There is considerable hunting for last
years goods, and those who are hunting
are finding them, despite all the talk
about the crop having been bought up.
A packer told US of three-acre crop
which he bought last week for $72 less
than he offered for it three months ago.
AS April first is almost at our doors and
growers, as rule, like to be rid of the
previous years crop by that time, sales
There is good deal of complaint of the
bad shape in which much of the tobacco
reached the warehouses. Frequently
those who got the highest figures deliv--
cred their crops in the worst shape,
while the opposite rule holds good in
many cases.

The leaf business ir this city for the
past week has been anything but excit-
ing in the nature of sales. Old goods
have held their own with the new leaf
and transactions are evened up. The
following are some of the ruling prices
paid for bundle leaf: Harry, 3a at 7&2c;
Chas. Nehls, "a at 51s&1c; J. F. Roach
IA at 6&2c; Vincent, "a at 61s&2c; VIM,
Holly, 5a at 5&1c; d. F. Johnson, Ia at
6&lc; Martin Conway, IA at 6&1c; Thos.
Farrell, 3a at 5&1c; Henry Anderson, 3a
at 5&1c.
Those that made deals in old leaf and
shipped to other markets up to this date
we're: J. A. Ryan shipped cars of 1902
O3 to Pennsylvania markets; j. M. Thay-
er shipped out 95cs of 1901 and on the
same day bought a 10Ocs lot of 1901
binders: L. B. Carle & Son sell 300 boxes
of 1901-23 and buy 200 of the same
years. S. Grundy received during the
week cars of bundle leaf.

Deliveries have kept up steadily for
the past few weeks, and packers now
have sufficient stock in their warehouses
to keep their force of re-handlers busy
for some time to come. So far as heard
from, the quality is reported satisfac-
tory. Considerable of the thinner va
riety is still hanging in the sheds, await
ing another spell of moist weather. Some
little buying is INDUCED in at present.

buying will be renewed until the entire
crop has been stripped.

great. Aim high if you shoot low Hitch you wagon to a star" are
samples of the proverbs urged upon lis from our boyhood. Our very at
mosphere in this land tends to foster ambition, desire to do and get
something great.
1t is well that it does. Next to selfshness laziness is probably the
most universal vice. Yet there is a danger in pushing too far this ten
dnecy to seek something great. There are two questions we should
always keep in mind in seeking any good thing. They are: Why dc
you want it? And how do you seek it? The worth of any possession is
largely determined by our answers to them.
A man once asked for the finest and freest gift in the world, the
gift of the Holy Spirit And the apostle answered: Thy money perish
ing into the story in the eighth chapter of Acts we see that it was because
of why he wanted it and how he tried to get it. His purpose and method
were unworthy. He wanted it for selfish ends; he sought it in a law way.
There are many applications of this principle. Obviously it applies
to the pursuit of wealth. Money-business succcss-is good. A man
ought to seek ii. But let him remember that the value of it will be large
ly determined by those two questions: Why does he want it? And how
does he get it? Among the wealthy men and women in this country are
some unhappy and mean specimens. For all their wealth we would not
be like them. ii just because of their motive.
a shame, not an honor, by the answer to the question: How do they get
them?
SO it is with knowledge and power. The greatest contrast in his
tory is that between the hero of France and the hero of America. Both
sought power and influence. Washington wanted to be made com
manderin-cfnef, and came to the session of congress in uniform az an
intinaton that he expected the appointment. Napoleon also wanted
position and influence. See what catne to the two men from that search
See what is made of their respective nations.
Jesus sought power and influence that he might serve and save men,
and he refused to worship the evil one as the price Of success. Which

all mayors, governors and presidents
do-consulted the leaders, and thus en-
larged their importance in the eyes OF
their immediate followers. One must
use the tools he finds at hand if he
cannot secure better.
According to the dictionary a politi-
cal party is a number of persons
united in opinion and design in CppOsi-
ton to others in the community" But
one has only to be a mayor a few weeks
to almost believe that a political party
is a large number of persons who are
made to think they are the real party
by a small number of persons who call
themselves the organization" and who
claim all the spoils of office as a reward
for their unselfsh devotion to the
party. One of the stock phrases used
by politicians who brought applicants
for positions to me was "he did good
work for the party" What they should
have said was: HE did good work for
the organiZation-the machine" With
out patronage it would be exceedingly
difficult to maintain a political ma
chine, and that is the real reason why
political organizations are opposed to
civil service reform. | am not putting
forth this statement as possessing he
claim OF novelty, for the fact is known
OF all men. But it will serve to call
attention to the hypocritical devotion
to party and fraudulent loyalty to party
principles loudly voiced by the bosses
OF political machines. Such men are
ever trumpeting their disinterested
party loyalty and devotion, and their
incessant claims in time lead many to
believe them. This devotion does not
go outside their little circle; their 10y
atty is confined to the small group
which is the machine, and this machine
stops running when the oil of patron
age gives out.
1t may seem strange hat | did not
know of my own knowledge what an
important part hypocrisy played in
politics until after | became mayor, but
up to my nomination | had been like
hundreds of thousands of others, in
terested in politics only during cam
paigns and then but slightly. | "a
not a leader; not even a prominent
party lar l got in the habit of voting
the ticket made up in caucus by the
reorganization" and nominated in con-
v%ention by the delegates elected by the
organization. Thus l knew nothing of
the inside workings of political organ
izations. But when the machine lead
ers had to come to me for the patron
age on which they thrived my eyes
were opened, and l saw politics was
a business which dealt in public jobs
and contracts, and that the heads and
beneficiaries of the concern were the
few persons who were leaders of the
great poilrical parties.

Temperature of the Bath.

Opinions differ as to the relative
merits of a cold or a hot bath. The
individual constitution must be con-
suited. Medical authority maintains
that children and elderly persons ought
never to battle in water below 70 de-
grees F. Where cleanliness is the
main object the water should be from
II degrees to SO degrees. Where the
bath is to serve as a powerful stimu-
liant, as in cases of illness, it should be

IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Judge Birkhead Hands Down
Opinions In Noted
Cases.

Since the November term of our
Circuit, Court Judge Birkhead has
rendered judgment in two import
ant cases he had under submission.
The suit of r. l.. Boyd, deputy
sheriff, against Sheriff C. P. Keown
was an action by Boyd to re-
cover from Sheriff Keown $l,S00.O0
alleged to be due for service as dep
uty sheriff. Sheriff Keown answer
ed and claimed Boyd was indebted
to him in the sum of 1869.
Judge Birkhead's judgement sus-
tains Sheriff Keown's position, and
the sheriff is giving judgment against
Boyd for the amount claimed 1868
and cost.
The other case is one against V. o.
Ranney and involves the legality of
the license granted to him a few
DAYS before the liquor election last
May to operate saloon in Hartford.
The court holds that in as much
as Ranney, the City Council and the
County Clerk acted in good faith in
issuing the license, Ranney is am
ply protected and that the proper
method of ATTACHING the validity of
the license is by a suit in equity
against the City Council. the County
Clerk and Ranney. In other words
the court holds that the wrong rem
edy has been pursued to invalidate
the license.
1t is quite probable that the pro-
ceedings indicated by Judge Birk-
heads decision will be began.
