LOCAL politics are very quiet.
Candidates are either working in
back-door way or are neglecting their
opportunities, but, then the Demo-
Gratis, especially of this county, are
very Indifferent, depending on the
big maJorities and their (?) paper to
boost them into office, unmindful of
the fact that conditions are changing
and that they are not supporters to
the paper they look to for kind
word. A peculiar characteristic of
the politician is that he will unhesitat-
ingly pay some fellow with no infiu.
ence, well to 60 out and work among
the voters and expect the paper of his
party to land him to, the skies and
direct its great influence for him with
out even a word of thanks. How can
you expect paper to support you
when its efforts are not apparently
appreciated. Gentlemen, have YOU
ever considered the power of the press
and what you owe to it in the ad-
vancement of your interests and en-
lightenment? No subscriber should
support candidate or any other per-
son doing business that requires ad-
vertising, who does not support their
paper. for they do not appreciate your
support sufficient to make little
sacrifice for you in inviting and de-
claring they want your support. All
they want is the office and your
money. Consider this well, and be
good Democrat. If an honest, con-
sclentious man runs for office on our
ticket, that cannot afford to pay to-
ward little advertising the Intelli-
gencer will be only too glad to aid in
the cause, but, we emphatically refuse
to use the influence of our columns
for the advancement of any unappre-
ciative, petty politician who refuses to
support the paper and has plenty of
money to be employed in buying votes
and beer, or hiring hench- men at an
extravagant outlay and ignoring their
best and most influential friend the
press. They may never stop to con-
slider how thoroughly the newspaper
acquaints the voters with them and
how the readers weigh what they read
when they know the paper is reliable.
10 refuse to invite your support
through your paper is direct slur on
your individual intelligence. So, you
who expect to be something and know
something subscribe for the paper and
lend your influence toward its better
ment.

The rural routes were establish.
ed for the benefit of rural homes, or
in other words the farmers. They
have proven greater benefit and
blessing to the farmers than was an
ticipated by the most sanguine. A
farmer who has once enjoyed the ad.
vantages of the rural mail service
would hardly know how to live with
out it. 1t did not come to the farmer,
however, until he had many times
earned it. The farmers are our heav-
lest taxpayers. What property they
have is in plain sight and is taxed,
while the city gent, at least many OF
them, who deals in notes and bonds
is enabled to hide his wealth from the
assessor. For a quarter of a century
the mail has been carried to the city
home, not once, but many times each
day. Finally the big heart of Uncle
Sam has reached out to the men who
feed the world.

4 curious custom was at one time In
vogue at Gloucester. Mass. which H.
lustrates the sacredness which seems
to surround fish net and the protec-
tion which the law affords that class Of
property. Whenever 1t became neces-
sary to quarantine house because Of
smallpox or other contagious disease
the quarantine was effected by string
ing nets about the building on the out
side. The penalty for disturbing a net
was SO great that no one dared to med.
de with the barrier.

The president we all know to be n
strenuous man, fond of speech to the
people; but we sometimes have occa-

does not correspond with his fondness
for locomotion; so that now we find
Taft administering Cuba out of hand,
while the president travels up the
New England coast reviewing ships
and dining with sailors, and comes to
Harrisburg to dedicate our state house
and dine with our governor.
We have been glad to have him
and hear his good advice, and are
sorry he got wet, and hope he will
not become i'll. But still it might
have been as well for really good
president to have staid in Washing
ton while Taft administered in Cuba
and have kept his ear to the wire
that was strung directly from the
Havana to the Washington palace.
We may say that no harm came Of
the presidents spreading himself out
so far and that Taft was equal to the
situation; even to the extent of select.

man who can thus throw off care ant

and one greatly conducive to happi
ness and fame. 1t may be that oul

his work, and take, so many holiday:

IT makes us very tired, indeed,
to have merchants insist on us to urge
the people to trade at home and not
send away to mail order houses or big
city stores for their goods, and when
we go around to settle our accounts
have presented to us a bill head print

we believe in it, but those who cry
out so loud and persistently, should

The Southern Pacific Railroad
has decided to make reduction of 25
per cent. on its present rates on all
commodities shipped East in refrigera.
ton cars. AS a result all kinds of
California fruits should become %

But will that be the case? Will the

hardly think the consumer will be the
favored one.

The newspaper that doctors" the
communications of its correspondents
so as to make them say just the oppo-
site of what those correspondents in
tended, thereby perverting the truth
and disseminating bogus news, is in
every sense as culpable as the man
who loots a bank or deals in gold
bricks-worse, in fact, as it seeks to
defraud every subscriber it has, or
who may believe in its honesty. If
all accounts are true, this custom is
not uncommon in Philadelphia news

census office at it's mid-January can vass for the purpose of enabling 1t to determine what counties need not be canvassed when the final canvass takes place in March Whenever the estimates show that there Is no more cotton to be ginned in county or that the amount Is insignificant, no final canvass Is necessary. Possession of this Information enables the census office to save from $S,000 to 1000 iH the cost of the final canvass and that | is the only purpose for which these estimates have ever been used. They are only approximate and, therefore, possess no statistical value. For the director to make them public on his own voliticn at the demand of the cotton growers would be as improper at this time as it would be to make them public at the demand of the cot

 to come from that quarter.
 With regard to the publication of the census bale weights, to which Mir. Jordan also aliudes, I can only say that the actual weight of more than 3,000, 900 bales of cotton grown in 1905 have been secured by the Census Office. and that additional returns covering 2,000,- 900 more weights are daily reaching the office. The computations necessary to secure correct average weights from these returns are enormous Tn amcunt and delicate in character. With our
 utmost energy we shall not be able to complete these computations before the last of February and yet am daily in receipt of telegrams from the South stating that by keeping back the weight
 of bales am enabling spectators to rob the Scuth.'

ASKS FOR RELIEF
DIRECTOR NORTd CHAFES UNDER

Says Cotton Figures are Gotten Up For People of This Section But They

Washington. Jan. 31.-Having taken notice of the criticisms upon his otiice by President Haryie Jordan. of the Southern Cotton Growers Association, and others, ~trector North, of the cen sus bureau, today declared he hoped congress would relieve him of all fur ther work in connection with cotton statistics.

 In answer to the allegation made by President Jordan yesterday, Direc- tor North said: These cotton gin- ming reports were established by law for the benefit of the cotton growers, and believe they were effective to that end, but men nke Mir Jordan and J. A. Taylor. president of the Cotton Ginners Association, seemed deter mined to do everything in their power to discredit the reports and destroy
  stances I do not believe it worth while for congress to continue to appropri- ate $250,0oG year for the collection of the reports in the interest of the cotton growers when these men are dissatisfied with the result.
 No efforts to show that the reports are incorrect, misleading or manipu- lated has been successful. The methods of the office have been exhibited to growers and closely scrutinized by them and they have not found 1t possible to put finger upon single error either in method or result. There has never been leak from the census office since the system was established.
 MT. Jordan now attacks the director because he refuses to deviate from the regular methods of promulgating these statistics at the demand of pri- vate parties. Any such deviation made upon the personal responsibility If the direction would necessarily subject his methods to suspicion and would very impropertly impair the public conf denee in the integrity of his work have, therefore, declined to accept to these requests unless directed by Con- gress to do so.

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL.
Another Effort Made by the Attorney,
 For Patrick.

New York, Jan. 3l.--Notice of a mo- tion for new trial in the case of Albert T. Patrick. on the ground of newly discovered evidence. was served today on the District Attorney.
 The motion which Is returnable Feb ruary 9th, was served by Pstrick's counsel The principal ground urged fin the motion is substantially that new evidence has been obtained to show that William NJ. Rice did not dies of chloroform poisoning. but instead died a natural death. and that Jones, the valet, since his release here, has made many statements to persons in Texas to the effect that he never killed Rice.
 One of these statements. all of which appear as sworn af1davits. Is that Jones said he would return to New YorlS-and plead guilty to a charge of perjury If he was promised only light sentence.
 The notice includes many affidavits and statements by physicians who sig nifty their willingness to testify for Patrick If new trial is ordered.
