STATE WILL
INSPECT MILK

Il. ID. Miller, of lockwood, and
James McGregor, of Indiana, repre-
senting the State dairy and food COM
mission, are in this part of the State
holding up milk wagons and getting
samples of milk to be forwarded to the
commissioners chemists. The inspect
ors were in Williamsport recently and
are headed this way. SO it is probable
that the local milkmen will be called
on soon. Concerning these inspections,
an exchange says:
Local milk men are exercised over
the expected coming here of State
milk inspectors. ~ The investigation
made by this commission two years
ago was somewhat unsatisfactory and
it is alleged unjust fines were exact
ed. Dissatisfaction was caused before
through the fact that, as alleged, the
inspecting commission did not use
sufficient precautions in the perform
ance of their duties. As result many
of the dairymen were accused of put
ting formaldehyde in their milk, thus
making it chemically impure and open
ing it to condemnation by the State
health authorities. Fines were levied
upon several dealers. The milkmen,
being unorganized, had no means of
protection against the alleged imposi-
tions. Individul suit would have been
an expensive proceeding, and co-opera-
tive action could not be effected. In
dignant at the treatment received at
the hands of the commission on their
last visit the milkmen have been on
their guard and have decided that now
they shall be dealt with squarely. To
this end it may be possible that the
dealers will combine to be able to cope
more easily with this question, should
the inspectors carry on their business
OH similar basis.

After Sellers of Bogus Feed Stuff.

The State Department of Agricul-
ture in carrying out the provisions of
the feeding stutfs law finds it neces-
sary, in many cases, to use stringent
measures to enforce the same.
Several weeks ago information was
made before H. S. Perry, justice of
the peace at Warren, against j. W.
Armstrong, Warren feed dealer, who
had violated the law. The charge was
that Mr.. Armstrong had exposed and
offered for sale, wheat middlings with
out having the guarantee analysis for
protein and fat printed on the sacks
enclosing the maeerial. The middl-
ings were made by Crouch Bros. Erie
Pa. The State brought civil action
against Mr. Armstrong under the
amended law of 1905, and sought to
secure a fine of 800.
The testimony in the case was re.
Gently heard by jury in the office of
Justice Perry, Attorney w. W. Will
bur was counsel for the State, and con.
siderable time was taken up in hear.
ing the testimony and delivery of the
charges to the jury, but it required
only few moments for the jury to
reach decision favorable to the State.
The Department of Agriculture was
represented by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Critchfield, Special Agent G. G.
Hutchison and State Chemist f. d.
Fuller.
Much interest centered in this case
and the verdict will materially assist
the State in enforcing law, the good
effects of which are being felt in all
parts of the State.

Two OPERATIONS
At EXCHANGE

Two critical operations were per-
formed at Exchange Friday, both
by DIR. Mutt of Williamsport. In each
case the patient was a lad of ten years.
PIECES OF BONE REMOVED
Wilmer Yeagel, son of @. j. Yeagel,
was operated on, and several pieces of
bone removed from his head, that were
bearing on the brain, causing partial
paralysis.
Young Yeagel, two years ago was
shot in the head. DR.. Mutt at that time
operated, but the boy never fully re-
covered. He seemed entirely we'll ex-
cept that one arm was partially para
lyzed. Almost month ago he grew
worse; he would be i'll several days
and then better, this condition con-
tinuing until an operation was decid-
ed upon.
One of the pieces of bone removed
was an inch and half long. another
was somewhat smaller, beside num-
ber of splinters.
The lad stood the operation well and
his full recovery is anticipated.
scRAPEp BONE FOOT
Lloyd Ellis, son of Mrs. ANNE Ellis,
about a month ago. stepped on a rusty
nail. Medical attention was given the
wound at the time, but the lad never
fully recovered. Lately the foot has
been getting worse.
On Friday DR.. Mutt reopened the
wound, scraped the bone and remov
ed some of proud flesh.
Drs. Hoffman and Muffley, of Tur
botville, assisted DR.. Mutt at both op
| erations.

A NEED
IMPROVEMENT

Street Commissioner Miller is en-
gagged in laying twenty terra
Gotta pipe along the east side of Ferry
street between Lower Mulberry street
and the d. L. & w. track. This is a
much-needed though long deferred i'm
provement, rendered indispensable by
the deep gutter existing at that point.
The condition of the street there has
been the cause of much complaint.
The pipe which will connect with
the large drain under the ID. l.. q W.
track, will make it possible to fill up
the gutter and level the spot over. The
drain takes in the fronts of the prop

SUPERVISORS
VISIT SUNBURY

From indications it does not seem
unlikely that the present season will
pass away before any work is done on
the approach at the south side of the
river bridge. More than year has
elapsed since the completion of the
bridge. during which time traffic has
been obliged to accommodate itself to
a mere makeshift in the form of an
approach. 1t is unfortunate indeed
that after so much trial and at this
late day no relief is in sight.
In the hope of accomplishing some
thing tangible relating to the approach
p. G. Baylor and Oliver Hoover of the
board of township supervisors paid a
visit to Sunbury few days ago and
met the county commissioners. The
meeting was barren of practical re-
suits. The commissioners merely re-
affirmed their position, which they
fully explained on the occasion of
their visit to South Danville in COM
pany with Judge Savidge last spring.
The commissioners of Northumber-
land county declare themselves ready
at any time to proceed with the con
struction of the retaining wall on the
upper side, but the lower wall beyond
the fourteen feet that both counties
are jointly responsible for, they will
have nothing to do with The build
ing of the wall on the lower side, they
aver, devolves upon Gearhart town
ship or upon the Danville and Sun
bury street railroad company. whose
track lies on the lower side of the ap-
proach.
While probably none of the residents
of Gearnart township favor the view
that the township should build the
lower retaining wall, yet not a few OF
them in common with tax payers
throughout the county take the view
that the trolley company should beai
the expense Thus the county commits
sioners find themselves pretty well
sustained in their opposition to the
county's building the lower wall and
they are by no means disposed to re-
cede. AT the same time until the troll
ley company organizes and resumes
building it will be useless to look fol
any co operation on its part thus any
thing like an agreement and the build
ing of the approach Is utterly out OF
sight at present.
Meanwhile the travelling public viii
have to tolerate the steep and narrow
approach--with its deep mud whel
ever it rains or its clouds of suffocat
ing dust that follows whenever there
are few days of clear weather

The hearing of Clarence Carr, charg-
ed with causing the death of George
Leroy Fausnaught, took place Friday
evening before Justice of the Peace
William V. Oglesby. in the private
office of Sheriff George Maiers in the
county Jail.
The hearing was not marked by any
new developments in the case. An air
of sadness pervaded the proceedings,
and expressions of pity for young Carr
frequently found voice. He is boy
who has been surrounded all his life
by the most demoralizing influences,
and the commission of an act such as
he is charged with would be but the
expected outcome of an early training
such as his has been.
A pitiable example of the immoral
surroundings amid which he has been
reared was furnished last night as the
hearing was about to begin, when it
was necessary to refuse to admit the
father of the Carr boy, as he was too
drunk to properly behave himself.
The information as lodged by Will
liam Fausnaught, uncle of the drown
ed boy, is as follows
That on the 18th. day of July,
1906, at the steel plant in the

TOO MANY CANDIDATES.

The United Mine Workers of the
first legislative district of Schuylkill
county held meeting the other day,
the intention of which was to suggest
legislative candidates for both the De-
mocratic and Republican primaries.
After some discussion, however, it was
discovered that there were so many
aspirants and the delegates were so
divided in sentiment that the best way
out of the difficulty was to do nothing.
So the convention adopted resolution
to the effect that all the aspirants
should register and take their chances
at their respective party primaries. A
very sensible conclusion.

The Postofice.

Mr.. Taylor, the government supervis-
ing architect, appears to be quite favor
ably impressed with the Commercial
club IS plan to locate the new postoffce
on the Pence block. One reason why
the federal building might properly be
located there is that the style of struc-
ture which the government proposes to
erect would no doubt harmonize well
with the type of buildings suggested for
the proposed civic center, and the erec-
ton OF the postofdce there would ad-
vance very materially the chances of
carrying out such scheme. We ought
not, in locating the new postoffice, to
repeat the mistake made in locating the
city hall. If it is to be an architectural
ornament to the city it ought to be
where 1t can be seen, and if it can be
made to fit into general scheme such
as that already before the Commercial
club for. the improvement of the en-
trance to the city from the Union sta
ton, it will serve an important pur-
pose in municipal improvement. Other
buildings contemplated for that location
for example, a museum of art and his.
tory and an industrial museum-would
naturally be of the same general style
as that adopted by the government for
its one-story postoffce, and the whole
could be grouped with very excellent
architectural, effects.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINE
Stood the Test for Ten Years

To the Editor of The Journal.
During the ten years of my residence
in Minneapolis your paper has been a
valued daily visitor, and now that my
removal to the coast necessitates the
breaking of this pleasant and altogether
profitable relationship, ! am moved to
write an appreciative word of farewell.
have found T h e J ournal invari-
ably on the side Of the forces which
make for righteousness in our city, state
and nation; and the fairness with which
it has dealt with important issues upon
lenged my admiration. In municipal at
fairs 7 he Journal has by it's un-
swervings opposition to graft and corrup-
ton, been a potent factor in Iarousing
public sentiment to the dangers immi-
ment when these things take their course
unnoticed and unrestrained. '~~
The Journal Junior was happy

to overestimate. No single thing has
done so much to create esprit du corps
among the public schools of the north
west, and it is to be hoped that the good
work may go on with ever-increasing
success.

La Toilette Defeated.

The people of Wisconsin have just
given the country an object lesson in
self government. In turning down La
Follette's candidate for governor and
nominating their own man they have
notified the junior senator that while
they regard him as gallant leader and
an intrepid politician they cannot &C.
cept him as boss. They cannot &C
cept anyone as boss and retain their
self respect and independence.
The boss business has visibly waned
in the United States. The people are
even tired Of those who too perenially
associate themselves with the idea of
leadership. While bosses rarely become
leaders in the high sense of the term,
it is very easy for leader to degener-
ate into boss. Therefore the people
keep a jealous eye on both plants lest
the one grow at all and lest the other
grow to too rank height. ..---.-
There was no issue in the Wisconsin
campaign except the dictation Of La
Toilette. Mr.. Davidson, who succeed
GU w tAo SOVeIuO1Su1P Wuou INF. Lid
Toilette resigned, was a "halfbreed -
or La Toilette republican, but he was
not hot enough partizan to meet the
approval Of the junior senator, who
brought out Irvine L. Lenroot against
him as candidate for the governorship,
expecting to make the office a stepping
stone to the senate when the time came
to elect a successor to Spooner. He
was rebuked at the primary for at
tempting to be the "whole works. in
Wisconsin. 49,
The stalwart faction appears not to
have shown it's head in the fight. I'm
doubtedly its members voted for David
son. If it could not win a complete
victory it has the satisfaction of achiev-
ing half triumph in the defeat Of La
Toilette.
It is improbable that La Toilette has
met any substantial reverse in the vot-
ing. The people Of Wisconsin still
have confidence in him and his ideas.
They merely decline to. accept him as
a dictator. This is in accordance with
the spirit of the time.

The lids the Issue!
Governor Johnson's Speech.

The denomination of Governor John
son did not come exactly as a surprise.
The action of the convention might
have been anticipated. But two other
things were surprises. The first was that
the leaders of the convention had no
more idea of what they wanted to say
iu a platform than they appear to have
had that the governor did not make a
more serious acceptance speech than he
did.
The making Of platform is not a
thing which can safely be left to a
committee unless it has time to work
out a complete statement of party be-
liefs. The democratic committee did
not have the time, neither did it appear
to have talent on hand to take the
planks submitted and work them up
into harmonious and logical state
ment. The result was patchwork Of
disconnected assertions with so many
vital omissions that it had to be sent
back to the committee for revision
and completion after the convention adj
JOuIucu. L LIS Is dill dluuOSL uuuedTu Ol
thing in political convention. The
reason for this inferior work is not
clear.
~ It may have been the fact that the
democrats were so taken up with tho
idea of "downing' Frank Day that
they forgot all about the platform.
Democrats are often more absorbed in
the personalities than in the principles
Of politics. Who is going to "control
the organization is frequently more
nooted question than what the organiza-
tion is going to stand for when con-
trolled. It appears to have been so in
this case. ~
The second surprise was the weakness
of the governor speech accepting the
nomination, There was an opportunity
to strike the keynote Of his campaign
for reelection. He could have sent the
delegates home with their chests thrown
out to sow the seeds Of confidence in
their several communities. He allowed
their enthusiasm to dribble at the spigot
instead Of exploding at the bunghole.
