The Contest In the Twenty-sixth
judicial District.

Editor of the Record:
Ordinarily the electors of any parti-
cular political district in the State
naturally resent outside interference
The theory of popular self-government
is that those to whom the choice of
public officials is committed are fit to
exercise that choice and to Intelligent
ly and honestly determine who shall
be their public officials, but in case of
the Judiciary the limitations are less
strict. In theory and in practice
Judges, even of the county courts, are
officers of the State, with certain pow
ers affecting all citizens. They are
paid their salaries out of the State
treasury, and even the local exercise
of the judicial office concerns, in some
degree at least, the entire Common
wealth.
To those who are informed as to the
interests of Central Pennsylvania and
who know the latter history of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania it
will certainly be matter of surprise
that the nomination of tine Hon. Grant
Herring, in the district composed of
Columbia and Montour counties, should
be the subject of opposition, from any
source, on the ground that he is either
unworthy of the office or that he has
failed in his allegiance to Democratic
principles. On the other hand, Mr..
Herring is known throughout the State
as sound, honest and capable lawyer,
with eminently judicial qualities, hav-
ing the learning that knows the law,
the courage to declare it without fear,
favor or affection, and impartially to
administer it without bias or pre-
iudice. That he has never been lack
ing in his fealty to Democratic prin-
ciples can be attested by those who
knew him at Harrisburg as the faith
tul supporter of Governor Pattison's
brilliant administration and as the
colleague of such loyal Democrats as
Senator Ross. the then leader of the
Democratic side of the Upper House.
In the selection of delegation from
Pennsylvania to the last National
Democratic Convention, which nomi-
mated winning ticket, Mr.. Herring
was chosen as one of the delegates at
large, not only as a compliment to the
steadfast Democratic majority of his
own county, but because he had won
and kept the confidence of the party
in the State.
If the Democracy of Pennsylvania
are, as now seems imminent, likely to
again return to power in the State, no
better illustration of its claim on pop.
ular confidence could be given than
by the nomination of such men as
Herring to office and responsibility.

- AND now the candidates are on
the home stretch. Only week more
of strenuous effort and they will real
ize their stong and weak points. The
primaries on Saturday, June 2, will
receive the greatest attention ever
centered on that particular and most
important event connected with the
selection of good men for public SER
wants in this county. So it ought to
be. If more attention was given to
the primaries, it would matter very
little which of the great parties would
win. The result of Montour's COM
vention, Monday, June 4, will great
ly influence Columbia county in the
selection of her candidate for Judge.
Both candidates are exerting their
best efforts and the many ardent
friends of each are busy in all sections
talking up the good qualities Of their
ideal. The contest for this particular
nomination is spirited, and the waves
of enthusiasm roll high, carrying
With them the frail barks of the weak
er humanity, while the more stalwart
vessels ride gracefully onward in their
own good judgment and study well
their choice. Likewise, for the vari-
Gus county offices to be filled, the can
didates are as busy as bees on warm
summers day, and the impatient pub
lie awaits the time to cast its vote.
For State Senator and Congress there
is no opposition, and, therefore it is
necessarily quiet on these two nomina-
tions. We trust it will all 90 off
harmoniously and that the defeated
ones will be just as active in the gen.
eral campaign as if they were the real
victors.

LET THE PROBE
BE THOROUGH.

The evidence of corruption in the
management of the great transporta-
tion companies, brought to light by
the inquiry of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the chief offender
thus far exposed being the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, has created
an impression on the public mind
which in its effect promises to out
weigh the developments which fol-
lowed in the wake of the life insur-
ance investigation. The results prom
ise to be even more important, as the
interests affected are much greater
and enter into the very life of the ma
ton. The evidence thus far produced
shows that many of the highest off
cials of the company, which has been
chartered by the State to serve the
public, have been the recipients of
large gratuities, in exchange for which
they used the power lodged in their
hands to pile up enormous illegal
wealth for few at the expense of the
many who had the temerity to try to
compete with them. The little busi-
ness man was crushed out of exist
ence to enable the favored few, who
were willing to divide with the rail
road magnate, to amass millions. The
accusations point directly to the very
head of the great corporation, the
men surrounding President Cassatt in
the most confidential relations having
been parties to and benefciaries of
the system of graft at the expense of
the people. These men who now stand
before the people as public plunderers
are the very men who tor years have
used the power of their positions to
shape the destinies of our State. 1t is
common knowledge that it was this
power, buttressed by fraud and disre-
gard of law, that four years ago over
ruled the public choice in the selection
of the majority party's candidate for
Governor and that has for years
shaped the action of our Legislatures
in order that the reign of illegal privi-
lege should not be endangered. The
system had become so entrenched be-
hind the power of enormous wealth
that the prospect of exposure and cor
rection was almost hopeless. The
fight has begun auspiciously, and
there will be no step backward until
the corporation grafters are driven
from power and an era of fair play to
every person, the high and low, the
millionaire as well as the struggling
business man, is firmly established.
The revelations to which the public
has thus far been treated leave little
doubt that the surface of the compli-
Gated system of graft and fraud has
been barely scratched. The acting
head of the Pennsylvania system, in
an official statement, promises a
thorough investigation and correction
of wrongs developed, but it is to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
armed with the power of the national
government, that the public will look
for an unbiased inquiry. The times
are auspicious for thorough house,
cleaning. The question is altogether
outside the realm of politics, which
power has heretofore been used to
cover the deeds of corporation law
breakers. The people want to know
the facts, and they insist that the
present inquiry be complete and thor
ough, regardless of whom it may
affect. Only the guilty have reason
for apprehension.

We are not given to boastine
but we are proud of the farmer boys
of this vicinity. They are with rare
exceptions, healthy, intelligent and
happy class of young men. We feel
like taking our hat clear off when we
meet them upon our streets, and no
class is more welcome to our office.
leo many boys leave the farm where
they would have made substantial and
good citizens, and go TO the city
where only one in a thousand succeed
in life's battle. Their are farmers
who fairly drive their boys away.
There is no excuse for this. The
farmer boy is entitled to his vaca-
tions, to several relaxations, his visits
to the city, good books, magazines
and his home paper. To the observ-
ing one it is plain to be seen that the
old farm is the best place in the
world for the average young man and
never fails to bring a happier and
more useful life than the city. Young
men, you who till the soil and earn
your bread by the sweat of your brow,
we are proud Of you; our latchslring
is always out 10 vou and you will al
ways nave friend in this paper.
Come and see us and give us the news

HOME TALK
WITH GIRLS.

"The world is wide, these things are small,
They may be nothing, but they're ALL"
You want to be popular and you
want to be admired; that is all right !;
but you dom want to lower yourself
in the estimation of your male friends
by familiarity, which is destructive of
all that is exalting and ennobling.
Do not permit young men to talk
on any subject that cannot be discuss
ed before the third party. Young
ladies often, even on slight rcquaint-
ance, become very confidential and
familiar, quieting their conscience by
the thought che will never tell. I"
There never was a greater mistake;
your first duty is to be a lady; you
cannot afford to be familiar, bold or
wild in order to appear smart CD.
Let your conversation be pure.
When writing to your friend, don't
grow gushing. don't tell him all your
personal affairs and don't call him
'dear," darling" and sign yourself
"yours forever" Chime only" or
send any loving message. Write a
common sense letter, one for his friend
to read as well as himself and Gre
main very sincerely" etc.
Take little care, and remember
while you are having a good time this
summer, while your pleasures and en-
loyments are innocent, yet, "the
world may see evil where it does not
exist.
Don't toss your head and put on
airs "that you don't care if it does,
you do care, and we ask you to think
over our suggestions for good conduct
makes our golden spots.
If you go walking to the woods,
driving or boating, go with party.
A young man may urge you to go
alone, he may urge you to stay out
late, but he would not allow his sister
to do this, and he will think much
more of you if you insist upon it and
remain where all the rest of the peo-
pie are. If you entertain your friend
at home in the evening do so in the
presence Of your mother and family;
he will not remain so long but what
is much better, he will regret that the
time was short.
Keep yourself respect and allow no
familiarities in any manner, and be-
lieve me you will never regret it; but
if you permit the privileges that are
given many young men you will al
ways have cause for remorse.
Be true, womanly girl, your own
merry hearted self, but let your con-
duct be such that men of high degree
will look up to you for approval; then
if time separates you from your new
gentleman friend, the time spent with
him, will always be pleasant, bright
spot in your memory and no blush
will need to overspread your face.
The true girl will surrender herself
with an atmosphere of strength and
under the influence of dignity and
womanliness, the rude will be re-
buked.

Mn. DAVID FoUsT, of Lime
stone township, who was so treacher-
ously betrayed by one who has been
endeavoring to pull the wool over the
eyes of a few and poses to be a Samp-
son of the Democratic party in this
county, claims that he would have
made most excellent run and very
possibly have gained the nomination
for sheriff. 1t appears that Mr..
Foust depended on this Judas to
place his announcement with us last
Wednesday, but for some reason, gen.
orally known, failed to- do the same
and thus made Mr.. Foust' announce
ment illegal and forced him from the
field. OF course Mr.. Foust has learn
ed, as others have done, that this
same person is fit for no trust.
