They do read as men read--and all

CAN'T REGULATE SPEED.

Judge Doty, of the Westmoreland
county court, has just handed down an
opinion in which he decided that a
municipality has no authority to make
regulations as to the speed of fast
trains through its borders. We have
not seen the opinion. but unless it is
reversed by the higher courts, then a
municipality has also no right to linn
1t the speed of automobiles or of fast
horses travelling through its limits and

The life story of the man who will
in9January become chief executive of
Pennsylvania is i'll many respects sim
liar to that of many other citizens who
have risen from the most humble of
circumstances to become managers and
owners of important business establish
ments through their own unaided eff
forts. Starting life as an errand boy
in Lea1y's old book store in Philadel-
phia at the early age of 13 years, this
rise from that lowly position through
successive stages until he became a
member of the firm, owning the store

ed, was rapid one. All the while
that he was gaining knowledge of the
business his CHEEKY disposition and
rugged honesty were making for him
frie nds of men in the higher walks of
life both politically and socially, with
whom he was continually brought in
contact. These influential friends lat
er elected him president of the Union
League, of Philadelphia, which posi-
tion of honor he occupies at the pres
ent time. His political affiliations
earned for him a seat in the Philadel
phia select council, and later he be-
came the mayor of his native city.

DEVOTED TO HISHHOME
Ex Mayor Stuart is pre-. eminently a
lover of home life and home comforts.
He has devoted much time and atten
tiou to securing articles of beauty for
his residence at No. 1888 South Broad
street, Philadelphia, over which his !
sister, Miss Cora A. Stuart, has ruled |
since tle uehth VI HIS h4otHeF hoIne
years ago. Having never married, he,
after the death of his parents, took as
far as possible their place to his young
or brothers and sisters, who even now
look up to him as their best friend and
counsellor. These brothers and sisters
were not at all anxious that he should |
make the campaign through which he
has just successfully passed, and now
that he is elected aud will have to
move to Harrisburg, the prospect of
giving up his comfortable home in
Philadelphia and leaving the friends
for whom he has the most affection is
not entirely pleasing to him. although

General orders have been issued
from headquarters of the national

result of the annual inspection of the

Sweeney in which he states that never

existence of the guard.
The twelfth regiment, commanded
by Colonel @. NJ. Clement, of Sunbury,

UNIFORM PRIMARY
LAW NOW IN FORCE

The uniform primary law is now in
operation in every election district in
the State. Under this new system of
making nominations, county voters OF
all parties will vote direct and on the
same day for their choice of candid
ates
With uniform primaries in force,
the time honored county and city con-
vention is "a thing of the past. Slate
making by political bosses becomes ex-
ceedingly difficult if not impossible.
The law was framed with the object
in view of atfording the people the
means for determining for themselves
who shall be their candidates. The
holding of such primaries to choose
candidates to be voted for at the Feb
ruary election will mark the first pra-
tical test of the new law in the State
at large.
DATES FOR ELECTIONS.
The uniform primary law was one of
the several election reform measures
passed at the special session of the leg
islature. 1t provides that there shall
be two primary elections held each
year, For the coming February cleo
tion the primary shall be held on the
fourth Saturday preceding election
day, which will be January 26. For
November elections the primary shall
be held on the first Saturday in June,
except when president is to be elect
ed. when the primary shall be held on
the second Saturday in April. That
for February elections is termed the
winter primary, and for the Novem.
ber elections. the spring primary.
Heretofore, the several parties have
held their primaries on separate days.
Under the new law one primary will
be held for all parties between the
hours of 2 O'Clock and O'Clock p IN.
The primary will be held at the reg
ular election polling place in each dis
trict, and will be conducted by the
regular election officers.
In the first place any number of per
sons may be voted for at the primary
for an office to be filed at the next sue
ceeding election. The law provides
| that there shall be an official ballot TO,
the primary. This will be alike il
size and color for all parties. All Off
cals ballots will be printed ON whit,
paper. Each party will, however, have
its own ballot At the top of each bal
lot there will be found printed lin,
designating which party it is for, ant
full explanation as to how to proper
ly mark the same.
If candidate for mayor, for in
stance, desired his name printed OF
the Republican primary ballot. thi
will be done upon the filing of peti
tion with the county commissioner
signed by fifty Republicans. If DEM
crat wishes his name printed on TIN
Democratic primary ballot as can
didate for mayor he may have thi
done by having filed petition signet
by fifty Democrats. Likewise a mem
ber of any other regularly constituted
party.
For candidates for councils wht
wish their names printed on the prim
airy ballot, petitions need be signed b.
but ten members of the party designa
ted
Danville intelligencer. [volume] (Danville, Pa.) 1859-1907, 1906-11-16
MUST FILE NAMES EARLY.

These petitions must be filed with
the county commissioners at least
three weeks prior to the primary, or
in this instance. not later than jan
uary 5. Al least once each week dur
ing these three weeks the county COM
missioners must advertise in two
newspapers within the county the
names of all offices for which nomina-
tions are to be made. At the expira
tion of the time fixed by law for re-
ceiving petitions the county commits
sioners are required to take these in
hand and proceed to the preparation
of the ballot for each party. After
these are prepared they must be kept
ON file and open to public inspection
in the commissioners office for at least
one week proceeding the primary.
When the voter goes to the primary
on January 26 he must ask for the bal
lot of his party. Unless his right to
participate is challenged he will be
handed ballot, where he will find
printed the names of all candidates ar
ranged in alphabetical order under the
respective offices.

A good man does good merely by
living.
You are not very holy if you are
not very kind.
God often comes to visit us, but
generally we are not in.
What is each man but one little
thread in the loom of God?
Bind together your spare hours by
the cord of some definite purpose.
No grip is so hard to shake off as
that of early religious convictions.
Our remedies frequently fail, but
Christ as the remedy for sin never
fails.
Gods silences may be long, but
they are never the silences of forget
fulness.
A little thorn may rend the finest
fabric; so may a little sin mar the
fairesS soul.
There may be movement, but there
can be no progress, in travelling with
out God.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom
which springs from the soul, and the
heart Of man knoweth none more
fragrant.
We sleep in peace in the arms Of
God when we yield ourselves up to
His Providence, in delightful con-
sciousness of His mercies; no more
restless uncertainties, no more i'm
patience at S~place we are in, for it
is God who puts us there and who
holds us in His arms. Can we be up-
safe where He has placed us?
