THAT RAID.

Councilman CoDnell's saloon was
not raided. as stated by the News.
Mayor Harmer tried to induce him
to open it at an unlawful hour But
he positively refused. The News
would do well to get the facts
The News also says the fire de-
partment was called out to defeat
Justice. The statement has no more
foundation than g~uesswork: 1t
would be as well to say the depart
ment was called out by the mayor
himzelf, to get the crowd to another
part, if what the News says Is true
about the imaginary danger the
MAYOR was in. An investigation
will probably show hat none con-
cerned in the raid sent the alarm in,
and that the one who did was inno-
cent. mistaking the circumstances
and concluding that from the fact
that a door was being battered IN,
with a surging crowd nea by, there
was a blaze within. Certainly
there is no reason to believe the
alarm was sent in with any motive
to defeat justice as the News so Wild
ly asserts.
Mr.. Cornell did not refuse them
admittance into the hall. as stated
by the News. But he did tell the
MAYOR that he would not open his
saloon and stated his reason, namely,
that it was after hours. Nor did
the MAYOR or officers enter the
saloon. The mayor would-have tax
en- a crowd into it, or been the cause
of a crowd getting into it, if his de-
mand had been needed by MI. Con-
nell. Nor did Cornell say there was
stnothing doing" The fact that
the News was not near and was not
aware of the raid until it was over
Is sufficient to ~substantiate the as
sertion that the News talked through
its hat in this respect.
There is no truth either in the
declaration that Council was COM
PEELED to put up a bond. The fact
Is there was nc compulsion about 1t
He insisted repeatedly on giving
bond right away, but he could not
at once because the mayor hled HIM
self home, instead of finishing what
he started out to do. The infer
ence IS he wanted to deprive Con-
nell of the privilege every American
citizen has, and desired him thrown
into jail helpless because of the
mnyors notion that he could go
to Jail and stay until the mayor saw
pr55er to take bail OF try him
The mayor was surrounded by a
curious and amused crowd and
there was really more fun than has
occurred in Clarksburg in n long
time but there was no attempt to lay
hands on the mayor. He was per-
fecfiv self-possessed and It is not
believed that he had the slightest
fear of any one doing him bodily
harm. 1t is not believed that he
thought any one would do him
any harm.
was gambling going on IN the build

1t is not true that the National
Republican Congressional Executive
committee has Instituted a move
ment to assess every Republican IN
the United States the sum of n
dollar for the purpose of creating a
campaign fund. The committee
never even intimated such a thing.
What it does do Is to invite all who
want to do 50 10 give a dollar for
the purpose of conducting the cam
paign. There is nothing Mt all com
puIsory about it. How strange 1t is
some Democratic papers become so
warped in what they tell the public!

Mayor Harmer by his own state
ment in court says he believed some
time ago there was gambling IN that
place. but he did not act according
10 that belief. Instead, he allowed
1t TO 60 on some time after that II
there was gambling there at all
And vet we hear him declaring some
thing about his oath. We are some

The chief raider got a little gay
in police court Tuesday morning by
calling out the name of n Of the
editors of this paper. The motive
is so plain that none fail to see
through it. But we will show him
a thing or two before he gets through
bandying that name around IN any
such manner.

The mayor even made the aecusa-
ton before the trial that Council as
chairman of the fire committee call
ed out the fire department Con
nell has Just as much right to say
Harmer called it out as Harmer IS
the chief executive of the city and
has far more control over the de-
partment than Council.

From the manner in which the
MAYOR delivered himself, there really
seems no reason why he should have
resorted to the taking Of evidence.
1t looks like he had his mind maSS
up before the trial beam.

HORSES COMMAND
GUOD PRICES

\ very interesting horse sale at
Hoke'S livery stable. Saturday, broke
up the monotony of an otherwise very
dull day. The horses were fine and
what was of equal Importance the
crowd was large, made up of horse
men great and small. Under such cir
cumstances the bidding was spirited
and the horses as a rule brought about
what they were worth. Johnny Will
Jams, of Bloomsbury, was auctiOneer,
which makes it hardly necessary to
add that things were kept moving and
that the sale-which began at one
o'clock-was over shortly after five.
The horses-twenty-O in number
were shipped from Canada and arrived
here on Friday afternoon. Naturally
they showed the signs of fatigue and
slight indisposition, from which they
should recover in a day or so.
Hon. Alexander Billmeyer bought
probably one of the best teams, a bay
and a brown, for 1920. He also bought
a fine dapple-g gray for 1920.
A very fine team of bays was knock
ed down to liveryman Hoke for $780,
Bruce Kelley, of Washingtonville,
bought dapple gray for $21O
Theodore Hoffman bought a nice lit
tie black for 1925.
\ team of blacks was knocked down
to John Crossley of Valley township
for $l95.
A handsome team of large blacks
brought S4OO They were purchased
by man near Sunbury.
The horses were shipped here and
sold by P. G.. Waldron, who deals ex-
tensively in horses and conducts sales
in Luzerne, Columbia and surround
ing counties.
Notwithstanding the expansion OF
trolley lines, AMI the use of automo.
biles there is no apparent decrease il
the demand for horses. Indeed, they
are said to be scarce in this section, {
fact attested by the good prices com
manded at the sale Saturday. This is
owing to the fact that few if any
horses are being raised III this section
experience proving that under the pc
culiar conditions here a full grown
horses can be bought for less none,
than it costs to raise one. This leave
the field open for a fine trade in horse
and experienced dealers like Mr.. Wal
dron do a profitable business.

TO PROSECUTE DE-
FIANT TEACHERS

Health Commissioner Samuel q.
Dixon, acting for the State Depart
ment of Health Will at once prosecute
a number of teachers in different parts
of the State who have absolutely re
fused to comply with the vaccination
law and who i'll defiance of this law
are admitting unvaccinated children
to their schools. The attorneys for the
department have all their evidence in
hand for a number of these cases.
Health Commissioner Dixon has also
arranged to secure evidence in all
other cases where the law has been
violated.
In addition, proceedings are to be
taken against school directors and
others who have conspired to have the
law defed. The commissioner stated
Saturday that every effort. has been
made to point out to the teachers their
duty under the law. He has carried
on vigorous campaign of education.
/ Thousands OF circulars setting torth
the true facts in reference to vaccina-
tion as a protection against smallpox
have been sent out through every
county i'll the state He has written
thousands of letters to teachers, school
directors and parents personally, en-
deavoring to overcome the prejudice
against vaccination and to counterbal-
ance the effect of the literature circu-
lated by the nti-vaccinationists.
Il cannot express too strongly y
said Health Commissioner Dixon Sat
urday, my appreciation of the sup
port have had from the public press
throughout Pennsylvania in educating
the parents of our school children to
the necessity of protecting their little
ones against smallpox. "

new PRIMARY
ELECTION LAW

The uniform primary election law
passed by the legislature is now up to
the governor for signature. The op-
ponents of the new measure claim it
is unconstitutional because the bill
carries two subjects, elections and a
liquor clause; that the latter is not
mentioned in the title and that its furs
ther provisions permitting borough
and townships to hold elections other
! than those specified in the bin is speci.

The I ew law goes into effect Nov
ember 1906. This date was decided
on for he purpose of permitting city
and COZ lty commissioners to adjust
thei' II les to suit aud also that the
bill ma not interfere with the APP
proachi lg primary elections.
1t ais, provides for separate official
ballots or each party, for the naming
of indie endent candidates, for the pay
ment of all expenses by the state, for
| the idel tification of voters by existing
laws on that subject, and for a re-
count and an appeal to court by an
aggrived person, beside other protec-
tion measures to insure the purity of
the ballot.
As passed it provides that no liquor
shall be sold between the hours of 100

nual primary election days. One of
these falls on the fourth Saturday be-
fore the February election and the 9th :
er on the first Saturday i'll June, except
in presidential years, when it comes
on the second Saturday of April.
The amendment was made necessary
because of the election laws. Prim-
aries are to be subject, hereafter, to
the same rules as elections The pri-
mary polls are to be open on Saturdays
from 200 to s 200 in the evening and
the saloons are closed an hour before
and reopened an hour after it is over.
Under the new law all political
parties will hold their primary clec.
tion at the same time and same place.
Each party will have a separate ticket
didates. Those getting the highest
vote will be placed on the ticket, anC
the electors will thus vote twice fol
their favored candidate-once at the
primary and then again at the genera
election.
There will be no more delegates o
conventions.
a primary election will be held il
each precinct in the same manner anC
by the same officials that conduct TIN
general election, and they will be paic
