WHAT The READERS THINK

Editor Press: Residents of
Peaceful valley are in constant
fear that sooner or later a drear-
full epidemic of typhoid or other
dreaded disease will break out in
that locality. While visiting a
friend today in the vicinity of
Huron street, l could not help but
notice the pronounced stencil that
infested the atmosphere. On ask.
ing its cause | was told that sewage
from the city was left along the
river bank and that no amount of
complaining to the health board or
city authorities will bring relief to
the distracted citizens of this To-
cality.
My friend has personally appeal
ed the mayor and to the board of
health, but the nuisance has not
been abated. What kind of an ad-
ministration have we, anyway? We
appeal to your paper knowing as
we do that it represents the people
and not the ring" 1t is about time
we are having a house cleaning
and the sooner the better. Those

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 20
President Roosevelt is going to
take sides in the Pennsylvania
campaign against the independents
and Reform party" because he
fears Hearst and the rising tide Of
Hearstism. He has his eye on the
presidential campaign of 1908, and
, believes it best that Pennsylvania
should be regular"
That is the reason why Attorney
General William II. Moody was
. billed to speak under the auspices
Of Boies Penrose Philander Knox

of the national administration in
dorsement to the state ticket and
to talk about the national party
issues.
President Roosevelt is suffering
from an acute attack of party regu-
larity. Ordinarily he is good

he took an active part in the first
outbreak of reform in Philadelphia,

FIERCE BATTLE AT
CHEAP SHOW

A small riot at the o. X. con-
cert hall had to be quelled Satur-
day night by the police following
an encounter between Harry New
ton, the 230 pound proprietor, and
Francis Blair, comedian. Blair
was a little to the wierd and erie
while doing his turn, and in a
monologue referred to the concert
hall as a "hop Joint" instead of a
theater. This made Newton angry
as shaking a red flag to a full, and
spectators were bowled over as the
husky proprietor forced his way to
the stage.
"Whatcher mean by a-calling dis
a hop joint"
Bang! bang!"
Blair had pulled pistol from
his pocket and fired point blank at
the proprietor.
But they were blank cartridges.
Nevertheless, Newton shouted
MURDER" at the top of his voice
and got back to the bar in hurry.
Blair followed up the advantage,
leaped from the stage and took
after the fleeing "boss." BY the
time they came together some one
had told Newton that Blair's gun
wasn't loaded, so he grabbed the
Irishman and showed him out the
back door. Blair promptly ran
around to the front door and back
in. Thehy were engaged in a COM
bat that looked like Terry Nc
Govern stacked up against Jeffries
when the crowd, assisted by the
police, pulled them apart. Newton

rose.
How can these things be? The
question is on many lips. 1t is in
the minds of those who commend
ed Roosevelt when he sent Taft
into Ohio a year ago to down the
unspeakable Cox. 1t is true that
Myron Herrick. the republican can
didate for governor, was likewise
dragged down in the fall of the
boss. But the country applauded.
Roosevelt was putting moral issues
above mere partisanship. He was
supporting the Independent move
ment even to the injury of his
party.
So that is what he was expected
to do in Pennsylvania.
But he hasn't.
Reform in Pennsylvania IS rep
resented by the fusion of the Lin
coin republicans" and the demo-
Gratis. The republican party is
represented by the remnants

fact remains that Penrose is his

tween why does Theodore Roose-

The question is broadly ar

The judge imposed a fine of $50
upon him and the cost, or eight
days in the county jail.
The father promptly chose the
latter alternative and he was taken
to the Jail to serve out his SEN

He had been in only about four
hours, however, when his daughter
decided she would rather go to
school than have her aged father

to pay the fine.
Father and daughter left the Jail

Lighthouses

THE first lighthouse ever erected for the
l. benefit of mariners is believed to be that
built by the famous architect Sostratus, by
command of Ptolemy Philadelphus, King of
Egypt 1t was built near Alexandria, on an
island called Pharos, and there was expended
upon it about eight hundred talents, or over
a million of dollars.
Ptolemy has been much commended by
some ancient writers for his liberality in allow
ing the architect to inscribe his name instead
of his own. The inscription reads: "Sostra-
tus, son Of Dexiphanes, to the protecting
deities, for the use of seafaring people" This
tower was deemed one of the seven wonders
of the world and was thought of sufficient
grandeur to immortalize the builder.
1t appears from Lucian however, that Ptol-
envy does not deserve any praise for disnter-
estedness on this score, or Sostratus any great
praise for his honesty, as it is stated that the
latter to engross in after times the glory of the
structure, caused the inscription with his own
name to be carved in the marble, which he
afterward covered with lime and thereon put
the Kings name. In process of time the lime
decayed, and the inscription on the marble
alone remained.

Matches

FRICTION matches a comparatively
i modern invention. They were first made
in the United States in 1896 by L. c. Allin of
Springfield, Massachusetts, Before this time
a clumsy form of match was imported from
France, which had to be dipped into bottle
of sulphuric acid before it was lighted.
This took great deal of time and trouble,
and Aln, seeing the necessity of friction
matches, set about to make them, and sue
ceeded. He neglected to patent them, how
ever, and on finally applying for patent,
peddler, had discovered through third person
the secret of making the matches and had al
ready obtained patent. Allin, though the
real inventor, was forced to become a mere
manufacturer under another mans patent

Forgery

THE Bank of England had been established
sixty-four years before it received, in 1888,
its first forged note, which, by the way, was the
first forged bank-note on record.
To Richard Vaughn, Stafford linen draper
belongs the lamentable celebrity of having
been the leader in this form OF crime. The man
was detected by expert clerks who were
employed on the case, and was promptly
executed But his death did not deter many
other swindlers fromforging, and from that time
until the penalty of death for forgery was
removed, men were constantly sent to the
executioner for this crime

Silk Stockings

HENRY II. of France was the first man to
IL wear a pair of silk stockings, though
cloth hose had been worn for sometime.
Silk stockings originally came from Spain,
and it is said that Henry VIII. considered a
pair of silk Spanish stockings a great luxury
and wore them on state occasions. In 1870
Queen Elizabeth was presented with pair OF
silk stockings by her tirewoman, and after
ward never wore any other kind.
