Kept Tax Receipts Iona.

Charles King, of East Liberty,

termed careful man. He has been q
voter in the East Liberty district since
1857 and when asked on the last reg.
istrationi day if he had a tax receipt
he pulled from pocket tax receipts
for the last Al years. When asked by
the registrar if he had any more he
replied that if he went down deep in
to his strong box" at home he might
possibly find a few dating long back
before the oldest member of the board
was born. Mr.. King is now 78 years
old, having been born in Baltimore in
1928, removing to East Liberty in
1857. His first presidential vote was
cast for John C. Fremont and his last
for Theodore Roosevelt. He is
stanch Republican and as a contractor
and brick manufacturer for half cen.
tury has contributed much to the up
building and growth of East Liberty.

Latest Fad In "SocietY."

The latest fad in certain eastern so
ciety circles is to be glum and cross.
One phase of this more than usually
absurd affectation takes the form Of
ignoring letters of introduction and
this lack of consideration has reused
family feuds in several cases. One
wealthy young Italian, who is a mem.
Der of one of the best Roman families,
went to Newport this summer with
many letters from prominent persons.
But he has found it impossible to pre-
sent them. 1T is foolish to expect
anything from social leaders these
days and the stranger who asks to be
received by letter has a hard time of
It," said young man whose letter to
society matron was ignored.

Presidential Politics.

The remedy of President Hadley of
Yale for the political and other rascal
tiles of the present day is to ostracise
the eminent perpetrators. President
Roosevelt evidently believes in the old
plan of consorting with the sinners
and thus engendering in them perhaps
fruits meet for repentance. Or is it
the exigencies of the G.. o. P. that re-
quire the president to invite Boss Pen
rose to Oyster Bay to consult about
how to beat the Lincoln Republican
reformers; and Congressman Littauer,
who escaped prosecution for the army
glove contract frauds, by virtue of the
statute of limitations, on the factional
fight in New York; and Cortelyou,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, who was receiver of the
stolen funds from the policyholders
of the life insurance companies and
who used the money to debauch the
voters in the doubtful states, whose
aid in again raising a campaign fund
is no doubt considered indispensable;
and Paul Morton, the self-convicted re-
batter who was too warm proposition
to keep in the cabinet, but his advice
about railroad and insurance contri-
buttons may be necessary? Perhaps
constant association with the presi-
dent will do more for these sinners
than to ostracise them on the Hadley
plan, but the question is, can the great
virtues of President Roosevelt forever
withstand these and like contami-
mating influences? To consort all the
winter with Republican congressman
would make most of us quake, but
hat strain upon virtue, to be followed
luring the recess by the contGmi-
1ating influences described, would be
100 much for most patriots.
