An Excellent Lecture.

The lecture delivered in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in Reynoldsville
on Thursday evening of last week,
March Is, by Rev. G. S. Womer, OF
Hollidaysburg, a former Reynoldsville
boy, was an excellent lecture. 1t was
intensely interesting and very instruc-
tive. Rev. Womer, who spent two
years in Utah, is familiar with his sub
ject, 1.-THE Mormonism Of To-day"
aud he handled it in an able and very
pleasing manner, and for one hour and
fifteen minutes held the close attention
OF his audience.
Rev. Womer, now pastor OF the NJ.
E. church at Hollidaysburg, by bard
study, has made of himself an able and
scholarly preacher, and If no misfortune
befalls him, will become prominent
minister in Methodism, and Reynolds
vile will be justly proud of him as one
Of her sons.

Unkind and Untruthful Remarks.

The Reynoldsville people highly
appreciate the kind and friendly treat
ment accorded them by the Brookville
high school pupils and citizens of that
town at the contest in the Belvedere
opera house on the 10th instant, but
the untruthful remarks of the Brook
vile Democrat last week are different.
The Democrat said : "In 1908 the con-
test was at Reynoldsville, when that
school won through the extreme par.
tiality of one of the judges, rather than
on the merits of their contestants"
That is false and unkind statement.
Reynoldsville won the contest in 1908
on merit only.
The Democrat also said that the
Brookville high school pupils and
friends were not treated kindly at
Reynoldsville in 1908. Again our
friend deviates from the truth or has
been misinformed

from the Italian, but injured his hand

NUMBER 3
Great Reform Movement II
Russia.

The growth of reform in Russia
is emphasized by the action of the
Congress of the Zemstvoists, which,
despite the efforts of the police to
break up the meeting, met and
proceeded to regularly and orderly
consider reform proposals. The
congress has directed its criticism
against the plan of the Government
commission for national assembly,
declaring that it is wholly mad,
equate, that it would not meet the
desires of the people, and that it
will not relieve the country of the
bureaucracy. The program of the
Zemstvoists is for constitu tional
monarchy, with parliament hav-
ing full legislative powers, and a
ministry of responsible heads of
departments, subject to the will of
the parliament. This parliament
is to consist of two chambers, elect
ed by the people, having control of
the finances and general legislation.
When the chief of police gave
notice that the meeting should not
take place, the members laughed
and the chief proceeded to take
down the names of the members.
"Write down the whole of Russia"
one excited delegate shouted. The
boldness of the delegates is sure
indication that they have the sup
port of the people for their propos-
ed reforms.

Government Ownership.

Government ownership of public
utilities apparently has it's good
points. Mr.. George Clark, an
American lawyer writing from New
Zealand, says: 81 have travelled
around the world via New York,
London and the Suez Canal, and
am now in the land of government
ownership of many enterprises af-
fecting the public, and more con
tented and prosperous people does
not exist in the whole world today
than the inhabitants of New Zea-
land. The government owns the
railroads, life and fire insurance and
the coal mines. The fare on the
railroads is about one cent per mile,
and workmen are carried twenty
miles each day to and from their
work for "a cents per week, between
the cities of Wellington and Pc
tone. The government owns the
telegraph and telephones and con-
ducts savings bank. The savings
bank lends money to the farmers at
81 per cent, and the minimum wage
for labor is 25 cents per hour. The
government gives a pension of 500
per year to all persons over the age
of sixty-fve. The man with $l0,-
600 invested gets the same freight
rates as the man with a million
dollars"
While government ownership
does not do all claimed for it, it is
certainly not the instrument OF cor.
ruption and oppression claimed
against it.
