Hold CAUCUSES
AS HERETOFORE

3 The question of whether or not the
uniform primary act applies to bor-
oughs and townships, which, as ex-
planned in our last issue, is causing
much discussion throughout the State
on Saturday, was decided in the mega
+ tive by the board of county commis-
sioners of Montour county.
The decision was reached during the
afternoon at the regular meeting of
, the board and was based on the best
legal advice that could be obtained
Accordingly, all the different bor-
oughs, wards and townships of Mon
tour county, as heretofore, will hold
caucuses for nominating officers for
said boroughs, wards and townships
Blank certificates as usual will be fur
nished by the county commissioners to
the different voting precincts of the
county.
AS relates to the counties, however,
it is different and there the uniform
primary act applies in all its provis-
ions. The county officers to be elect
ed next year will all be nominated un,
der the new primary election law.
In the case of the boroughs, wards
and townships, it will no doubt prove
relief to the candidates to be assur
ed that instead of petitioning the
county commissioners for a place OIL
the ticket in a few weeks they car
safely leave their candidacy in the
hands of their friends to be fought ou
at the primaries as heretofore.
mmissioners' Clerk Horace O.
Blue was one of the first heIeabout t.
discover that boroughs and townships
J are seemingly not included in provis
ions of the uniform primary act. II,
placed himself in communication will
the board of comm missioners of neigh
boring counties and found that severa
of these had placed the same construc
tion upon the act that he had. In Ly
coming county for the spring election
the uniform primary act will go int,
force in Williamsport, which is city
but elsewhere in the county, in til,
boroughs and townships, caucuses will
be held and the candidates nominate,
as formerly.

A Question ?

~ OuCStlOH
Does the new primary election law
apply to boroughs and townships?
That is the question that is causing
a discussion of no little magnitude in
Danville and throughout Pennsylvania
just at present, and a decision one
way or the other will mean a great
deal to Montour county. for the man
ner of holding primaries in every dis
trict in the county depends upon how
the question is solved.
The proviso in the law that reads as
follows is causing the discussion:
Provided, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall prevent the nomination
of candidates for borough or township
offices, or other offices not herein
specifically enumerated, in the manner
provided by existing laws.
DIVERSITY OF OPINION.
The county commissioners are in
terested in this matter, but there is
much diversity of opinion as to wheth-
er OF not the primaries in boroughs
and townships should be held under
the provisions of the uniform primary
act. Section two of the uniform prim-
ary act provides that 1.-TWO primaries
shall be held each year in every cleo.
tion district of this Commonwealth. "
This is followed by the above quoted
proviso.
If the electors of any borough or
township desire to make their nomina-
tions for the coming spring election
under the new primary act, they should
signify such intention by filing with
the county commissioners petitions for
nominations. If such petitions are not
filed with the comm issioners no bal
lots will be provided for use under the
new primary law and the primaries
can not be held under this new law,
but will have to be conducted under
the old system, that is in the manner
observed before the passage of the uni
form primary act.
MIR. THORN'S ADVICE.
Chief Clerk Thorn, of the State de-
partment, at Harrisburg, has issued a
statement in which he says:
II would advise the county COM
missioners to make all necessary ar
rangements for the holding of the
winter primaries IN the several bor-
oughs and townships of the respective
counties, and to provide supplies and
equipment for each election district,
as required by section z of uniform
primary act. They should also provide
ballot-boxes for exclusive use at prim-
airy elections, in order that the boxes
in use at general elections need not be
disturbed -

Will Force ? Cent Fare.

| AS the time approaches for the Var,
ious State legislatures to meet, hIgl
passenger officials in the various rail.
ways in the country are manifesting q
good deal of concern. 1t is pretty gen
| orally understood that arrangements
have been made for the introduction
of bills having for their object the re-
duction of the maximum rate which
may be charged for passenger traffic
to basis of two cents a mile.
1t is certain that bills of this nature
will be introduced in Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Missouri, and in several of these States
a majority of the members are already
pledged to a support of these measures.
There is moral certainty that in
most of the cases the contemplated
laws will be passed, and the roads
must be prepared to meet the issue
1t may he that the resistance of the
passage of these laws will not be as
bitter as it would have been a few
years ago Experience has shown that
in States which already have such laws
Michigan and Ohio-and in the cases
of such roads as the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, which voluutari =
ly have reduced their rates to a two
cent basis, the tendancy invariably has
been toward an increase in travel
which has more than compensated for
the reduction.
1t has been found that the low rates
are an incentive to travel, and as the
cost of hauling full trains is no great
er than that of hauling empty ones, it
is considered good business PROPOSE
tion to make such rates as will fill the
trains on all occasions.
Should subsequent experience not
sustain this theory, the roads say that
nothing will remain for them to do
but to reduce the service to such an
extent as Will keep them safe.

GOOD ADVICE.

Here is some advice given to its
readers by the Scranton Republican.
1t is equally applicable throughout the
whole of the wide extended domain of
to buy articles which you intend to
use as gifts. and the sooner you get
about it the better. Regular prices
prevail and the clerks are all atten-
tion. Better bargains can be had than
you will be able to obtain later.
However that may be. the sooner you
get this Christmas shopping business
disposed of the better.

NEGLECTED BUT WORTH Y

The teachers of Lancaster county
have adopted resolution asking the
legislature at its coming session to
pass law providing for the pension
ing of public school teachers after
they have reached a certain age. Much
is to be said in favor of the pension
ing of such worthy public servants as
teachers, but it is to be feared the
present generation will have passed
away before the desired legislation be-
comes part of the law of the Com
monwealth.

stand for an exclusion of its citizens

The New York Central R'y has
been convicted of violation of that
part of the statute against rebates.
In explanation of the verdict, the rail
road attorney said, "You cannot de-
fend rebate cases in the present state
of public opinion" From this re-
mark we are to conclude that there
has been a estate of public opinion"
in which rebates could be defended
1t follows then that the people are
largely to blame for such railroad dis
elimination, and the people as a whole
are the one that have suffered. The
same is true of all laws. Public opin-
ion must call for the enforcement of
the law or it will be practically void.
The matter of making law is entirely
political for the lawmaker is selected
through the political system. When
the people pay no attention to the
quality of the law making body,
and to the law enforcing power, we
have a state of public opinion in
which the violation of laws can be de-
Tended. The state of public opinion
of which the new York attorney COM
plains is the result of the political
awakening which has taken place in
the last two years. Eternal viligence
is he price of liberty"

Knowing the Birds.

How grand is the hawk or the eagle
sailing far away in the blue sky! And
how beautiful are song birds, each in
its favorite position to sing, the song
sparrow with head thrown back, the
bobolink sailing down to the grass with
raised wings! Those who have spent
much time in watching birds In the
field know how differently the various
birds perch. fly. run. climb or feed.
The warblers catch flies. but they do
not do it in such an interesting way as
do the true fly catchers. We come to
know IA bird by the flight or walk just
as we know other friends by their gait
or even by the sound of their tread.
In fight the wings of many different
birds make peculiar sounds whereby
we may know the birds even II they
themselves are out OF sight. 1t Is not
at all necessary to get close enough to
bird to see its exact color or the
shape of its bill and feet. for its move
ments and outlines can be seen at a
greater distance. And so we may
know the bird even though it should fly
away, as birds often do as soon as we
try to stalk them for a nearer view
