NFW HIGH SCHOOL LAW.
Passed BY tho Legislature and Signed BY
the Governor.

The legislature has passed an act
which the governor has signed per-
mitting children, residing in school
districts in which no public high
school is maintained, to attend a
high school in some other district,
located near their homes, and pro-
viding for the payment of cost of
tuition and school books. Accord
ing to the old law, pupils were per-
mitted to attend high school in
an adjoining district, providing the
school directors Of the district in
which the high school was located,
were willing to receive pupils from
outlying districts and that such
pupils either pay their own tuition
or that they arrange with the di-
rectors of their own districts for
such payment. By the new law
the payment is made obligatory on
the school boards of the district in
which no high school is located.

Sproul Good Roads Bill.

The conference COMMITTEES of the
house and senate held a meeting
Thursday and it was agreed to re-
port a measure apportioning the
cost of roads between townships,
counties and state as follows: The
township and county to each bear
one-eighth of the expense and the
state three-fourths. The committee
was composed of Roberts, Cod
charles and Calpin for the Senate,
and McLane. Hunter and Wayne
for the House. This is considered
a great victory for the interior dis
tricts. Under the late law the
bulk of the state aid was going to
the richer eastern counties because
the poorer districts did not feel able
to put up the one-sixth. Under
the proposed bill the townships
will pay but one-eighth of the cost

R0OKBFBLLBR METHODS UNnOLY.
Time for Church TO Rebuke Them, Declares
Committee.

The subcommittee of six promi
nent Congregational ministers ap.
pointed by the committee on pro
test against the acceptance of the
Rockefeller gift last week issued a
statement giving their reasons why
the American board should return
to Mr.. Rockefeller his SIoo, 600.
The statement says in part:
Our protest rests Oh the convic-
ton that the church must not stand
in compromising relation to a man
who in public thought represents
methods that are oppi essive, danger
Gus and wrong.
We cannot disregard the effect
which his name, in view of facts
that are widespread and notorious.
unfortunately carries with it. The
church stands for leadership in NOR
al and spiritual progress. 1t cannot
afford to enter into any relation
that may weaken or discredit it in
the fulfillment of its task. The main
question is one Of the moral pres
tige and power of the church.
Though money gained by fraud or
force dribble into our treasures or
pour into it by floods, of itself it can
bring only contamination. 1t is by
voluntary relation to the donor that
moral responsibility is incurred
The church owes it TO itself and
to the public conscience to ack.owl.
edge responsibility when it volun-
tarily enters into dealings with a
donor who stands openly impeach-
ed of serious offense, which it is
our duty to condemn.
A Christian corporation has a
character which it may not com.
promise by doubtful alliances. The
application of this principle was
never so much needed as now.
The motives which constrain us
to this appeal are deep sollcitude
because OF the corporate evils that
threaten our nation, our sense OF
the solemn ard imperative mission
of the church as the moral educa-
tor of the people and a jealous zeal
lest its energy and authority be it'll
paired by any seeming compromise
with the evil it is set to condemn.

LOWER COURT AFFIRMED.
Hard Fought Case Of Sarah C. CromIey VS.,
Pennsylvania R. R. Co.

Litigation in the hard-fought case
of Sarah c. Cromley VS.. the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, it
would seem, is at last ended and
the plaintiff will receive the
damages awarded. The Supreme
Court sitting at Philadelphia, on
Monday, handed down an opinion
in the case affirming the lower court
The case was tried last November
the jury returning a verdict of
S742S damages.
The case of Sarah c. Cromley VS..
the Pennsylvania RailIoad Com
pany has gone on record as one OF
the hardest fought cases ever tried
in Montour county. The facts will
easily be recalled. In 1901 Joseph
B. Cromley and fve-years-old son
of Limestoneville were struck by
the Buffalo Flyer while crossing the
Pennsylvania track at Watsontown.
Mr.. Cromley, his son and both
horses were instantly killed.
The case was brought up No
vember II, 1908 whereupon Judge
Little entered compulsory non suit
on the ground OF contributory neg
ligence. Upon his refusal TO strike
off the compulsory non-suit an ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme
Court, which body returned it
for trial.
The case was placed on trial on
November I4th last before Judge
White of Indiana County specially
presiding. The case was one of un.
usual interest and attracted much
attention throughout the neighbor-
ing counties. The Jury returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
S742S.
After the verdict the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company took an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The
case was argued on the second
Monday in February by James
Scarlet and Edward S. Gearhart for
the plaintiff and II. M. Hinckley
and l. X. Grier for the defendant.

Senator Hansbrough, Republican
of North Dakota, is out with an in
terview in which he declares that
tariff revision by the next Congress
is dead. In explanation of this
statement, the Senator says that he
does not doubt that the President
will recommend tariff readjustment,
but that he is confident his recon-
mendations will avail nothing. Mr.
Hansbrough points out that all
revenue bills must originate in the
House and that the House is in the
grasp of IAN oligarchy of stand
patters y and that Secretary Shaw,
who is an arch stand patter'' him
self, has, by an Interpretation placed
on the drawback clause of the Ding
ley law, satisfied the demands of
those manufacturers who have
wearied of having to pay duty on
their raw materials and who, in the
absence of the Secretary's ruling,
would have insisted on the opening
of the tariff question in the hope Of
procuring some relief for them
selves.

The ruling of the Secretary of
the Treasury to which the Senator
particularly objects allows wheat
millers to import Canadian wheat,
mix it with American wheat and
manufacture the mixture into flour
for export, and when this flour is
exported TO secure the return of
the duty they paid on the wheat
when they imported it. The Ding
ley law provides for such rebates.
or drawbacks, when the imported
material can be identified in the
manufactured and exported article,
but there is no possible way for the
Treasury officials to determine how
much imported flour there is in
given quantity of flour except by
the affidavit of the miller which
may, or may not. be fraudulent.
If the Canadian wheat was radical
ly different from American wheat
such Identification might be posi-
bic, but in view of the fact that
hard wheat is grown on both sides
of the Canadian line and that the
most expert cannot tell whether a
given sample comes from farm
north or farm south CT the line,
the Senator'S point seems to be
we'll taken. Incidentally, the
Secretary's ruling has caused a
depreciation of the price of wheat of
from 8 to 10 cents a bushel, which
was precisely what the millers
wanted.

BY this time Staples, WHO had been in
the rear, and had not as yet Joined in
the fray, came up, and together we
forced the boar down into the dry bed
of a nullah, into which it plunged, and
up the opposite bank. We followed as
fast as the nature of the ground would
allow us, and on reaching the bed Of
the stream and looking up, we saw
the boar, with curled back, erect bristles,
glaring eyes and champing tusks, facing
us, evidently having made up his mind
not to bulge a step further.
1t was very awkward position to as
sail, but direct attack was unavoid-
able. Being the nearest, l made a
dash at the steep bank, and the boar
met me before could gain footing on
the top. Had not my horse behaved
like veteran, we must inevitably have

capped being ripped by the boar in his
furious onslaught.
Austin and Staples, whose horses by
this time were nearly wild with excite
ment, rushed up the steep together.

get into the boats and tether thereto the
swimming horses, of which there may be
quite string, swimming strongly for
quite long distance. The result of this
training is that during military ma
neuvers on large scale, the cavalry, on
arriving at broad, deep river plunge
in with confidence, caring little about the
depth of the stream, and wading or
swimming to the opposite bank without
the least suspicion of panic or disorder.
If the stream be very broad the rider
usually dismounts and swims at the
side of his horse, with one arm resting
on his neck. Arriving at the opposite
bank the animal usually displays great
intelligence in selecting landing place,
where he chambers up and out, there to
shake himself and wait till his dripping
rider is ready to mount.
Quite as important as the swimming
training school of the cavalry horse
pupil is that of the commissariat an
imals and those of the hospital depart

more dashing engagements, Corss
might hold out against greater odds,
but Thomas was the idol of every one
of the men who had the privilege of
serving under him.
In every possible way he evinced
that his greatest thought was for their
safety and for their comfort. He never
forced his soldiers to try to undertake
the impossible. The result was that
the soldiers of Thomas were more
ready to try to achieve what others
might consider the impossible than
were any body of men in the war.
Through the long, dreary marches,
through the long nights of picket duty,
through the arduous labors of trench
digging, they were ready to do and
dare all for the man who considered
their welfare before his own glory.
Gen. Halleck himself has written
that the battle of Chattanooga, COM
manded by Gen. Thomas, must be con-
sidered the most remarkable in his
tory. While this statement is un-
doubtedly exaggerated, Chattanooga is
nevertheless most remarkable battle
and to George H. Thomas belongs the
entire glory of it.-Chicago Journal.
