A Southern Candidate
For President in 1908.


The same immaculate patriots who
worked up the Parker nomination IN
1904 have been studiously engaged
for several months in an attempt to
make the South believe that the demo
cratic standard bearer Of 1898 should
come from this section. They recount
the fact that the South has not had d
candidate for half a century, that the
South is full of able and illustrioHs
men, and that now is the time of an
times for the South to assert ner Pc
litical sovereignty and take advantage
Of her balance Of power.
All of this would seHnd very web
and might be accepted at least for it's
face value were it not for the fact
that it comes, in the main, from
sources which are known to care as
little for the South as they do for the
democratic party and whose chief
claim to distinction is that they have
studioTsly and regularly knitted the
democratic party and ticket for more
than a decade past.
The talk of a southern candidate is
intended for nothing more nor less
than to defeat the nomination of Mr..
Bryan. The overwhelming sentiment
of the rank and file of the party
everywhere is for Bryan. and unless
the South can be broken into by the
hypOcritical plea for a Southern can
didate, Bryan will be the nominee.
The Journal is for Mr. Bryan be-
cause we believe him to be the ablest
and greatest democrat of recent times
and because We believe he would poll
a larger vote than any other candi-
date whom the party could nominate
But if these self-constituted party
spokesman from the east are able to
prevail upon the party or upon The
South to take up a Southern candi-
date, The Journal will suggest a
Southern man who represents demo-
cratic sentiment, il not as ably, at
least as thoroughly and as sincerely
as does William j. Bryan himself
We refer to Governor Hoke Smith OF
Georgia
With HOlIe Smith as its candidate
the militant democracy of 1908
would wage a campaign that no re.
publican candidate outside possibly OF
Theodore Roosevelt could withstand,
and the great. rank and file of the
party throughout the South would be
as unanimous for Smith as they would
be for Bryan.
1t is strange that the gOld-brick
statesmen who were responsible for
Parker in 1904 and who are so touch
ingly interested in the South for 1898
should not have suggested Hoke
Smith as a candidate. They have
thought of nearly everyone else-Fsr-
ticularly of those so-called democratic
leaders who are known to wear the
corporation coliar-but Smith, the
chief executive of the Empire state
of the South has escaped their at,
tention.
We take pleasure in presenting
Governor Smith as our choice. next to |
Mr.. Bryan. for the democratic nomi- |
nation.

INSTITUTE LECTURE COURSE.

The first number of the Teach
ers' Institute Lecture Course needs
no introduction to the people of
Columbia county. Katharine Ridge
way has been so enthusiastically
received here before that it is un-
necessary to advertise her further
than to announce that she will be
at the Normal Auditorium next
Monday night.
The lecturer for Tuesday even
ing is DR.. Samuel Parks Cadman
of the Central Congregational
church of Brooklyn, perhaps the
strongest church of its order in the
world today. He is peerless ora
tor, with an amazing breadth OF
knowledge and depth of insight.
There is no stronger man OH the
American platform today. His
subject is "The Puritan in Two
Worlds" "
Not long since we had the pleas
ure of hearing the Royal Gypsy
Concert Company who will give the
concert Wednesday night. This is
company organized and trained
by Tall Morgan at Ocean Grove,
and consists of ten artists-eight Sc
lected female voices, nearly all of
whom are soloists; the company in
cludes two gentlemen-a musical
director and a humorist. We guar
antee this company to please all
who desire wholesome and genuine
entertainment.
DR.. Edward Amherst OFT, it will
be remembered, lectured here three
years ago on "Sour Grapes. So
many requests have been made that
he be returned that we have secur-
ed him to close the course with his
great lecture entitled "The Haunt
ed House" or the secret of mental
power. DR.. OFT is known everywhere
in the middle west as 1.-THE lecturer
with purpose" and already he is
in great demand in eastern courses.
The oftener you hear him the bet
ter you will like him.
The cost of the entire course is
SI.5o. Single admission to con-
certs IS cents; to lectures so cents.

SUNDAY TRAINS.

The Sunbury Daily of Saturday
says: The most remarkable order
ever issued by the Pennsylvania
railroad since its system first start
ed running with the precision of
delicate machinery, was sent to all
points of its lines Saturday, direct
ing that no trains be run between
six p. m. Saturday and six p. m.
Sunday, except stock trains and the
regular express trains. The gem
eral order was received at BQ Office
here. No crews are being called
to leave here after six o'clock this
evening. All crews out on the
road, whether at Williamsport, Rem
ovo or Harrisburg, during the next
twenty-four hours will either lay
over there or else come on passen-
ger trains over Sunday. No per.
ishable freight trains will be start
ed from New York, Philadelphia,
or the other great centres of traffic.
When machinery begins to move
again on Sunday night, everything
will be almost as it is left off this
evening. There will be no more
or no less freight at any point than
there was before. One yard engine
will be run in each yard here for
emergency purposes, The Sunbury
division officials say that they al
ways have tried TO keep down the
Sunday movement of freight trains
and would never run any if they
could help il.

COUNTY MUST PAY ARCHITECT.

The decision of Judge Kunkle, in
the Dauphin county court that En-.
gineer and Senator E. Thomson
was entitled to three per cent. of
the contract price of the Catawissa
paper mill bridge for drawing the
plans and an additional four pei
cent. for experimenting the work
of the bridges construction after
the county commissioners had re-
fused to pay him more than three
per cent. for drawing the plans and
two per cent. for work as superin'
tendent, will undoubtedly result in
bringing other architects down on
the county.
II. r. Leonard, the architect OF
the Catawissa river bridge, is now
claiming S2,439 for services render
ed in addition to the $6,445 he has
already received. Exceptions tc
his bill have been filed by the coun'
ty commissioners, through their
solicitor, w. H. Rhawn, on the
grounds that the bill is exorbitan,
and unreasonable and his work not
performed in skillful and work
manlike manner.

At the meeting of the town coun-
Gil on Monday night the following
ordinance was passed:
Be it ordained and enacted by
the Council of the Town of Blooms
burg and it is hereby enacted by
authority of the same:
Section I. IT shall be unlawful

Is years, to be or remain in or up
on any Of the public streets or al
levs in the Town OF Bloomsbury at
night after the hour of 9 o'clock,
unless such person is accompanied
by a parent, guardian or other per-
son having legal custody OF such
minor person; or said minor person
is in the performance of an errand
or duty directed by said parent,
guardian or the person having the
care or custody of said minor per-
son, or whose employment makes
it necessary to be upon said streets
or alleys during the night time
after said specified hours; provided
that this exception shall not apply
when the persons under age shall
be playing or unnecessarily loiter-
ing in or upon said streets and al
leys whether alone or accompanied
by parent, guardian or other per-
son or persons whonsoever.
Section ?. 1t shall be unlawful
for any parent, guardian or other
person having legal care or custody
of any person under the age Of IS
years to allow or permit any such
child, ward or other person under
such age, while in such legal Gus
tody. to go or be i'll or upon any OF
the streets or alleys in the Town OF
Bloomsbury within the time prohi-
bited in Section one of this ordi-
nance, unless reasonable necessity
exists therefor.
Section 3. The police OF the

INDEX BOARDS.
al the Intersection Of All Public
Roads in County.

1t is said that prosecution may
be brought for neglect to have
proper road signs up i'll the town
ships of the county, as the super
visors are making themselves liza
BILE to punishment for not enforcing
the sign board law as embodied in
act of the State legislature.
In drive about the country and
upon observation it will be found
that comparatively few Sign boards,
pointing out the way and the NUM-
Der of miles to certain towns or viii
lagos, are in the proper shape. The
matter has been subject for talk
on the part of automobilists and
drivers of vehicles in general who
have occasion to use the country
roads.
Concerning the placement of sign
boards in conspicuous places upon
the public roads of the respective
townships of the county, all act of
the State legislature in 1896 says
the following The supervisors
aforesaid shall cause posts to be
erected at the intersection Of all
public roads within their respective
townships (where trees are not con-
verient) with boards firmly fixed
thereon and indexed boards point
ing to the direction of such roads,
OH which boards shall be inscribed
in large and legible characters the
name of the town, village or place
where such roads may lead, aud the
distance thereto computed in niles.
If any supervisor shall, after ten
days personal notice, neglect or re-
fuse to put up or keep in repair in
dex boards as aforesaid such super
visor shall for every offense forfeit
and pay sum not exceeding ten
dollars.
Upon investigation it has been
found that it is the duty of the con-
stable of the township to report to
the supervisor of his district of sign
boards which are in bad condition,
or of places which are in need of
boards.
Besides being a matter of law,
sign boards at various crossroads OF
the county are also a matter OF
pride. Great pride is taken by
most counties in having the index
boards we'll arranged about the
townships, and it is to be regretted
that strangers are compelled to
drive through our home county at
loss to know where or near what
towns they are travelling.
Not only to strangers would the
sign boards be great convenience,
but to Columbia countians them
selves, who are not well acquainted
with the land it would be greatly
appreciated.

Boil Eggs Without Water.
Chicago Hotel Has New Electrical Device
That Guests May Watch,

Boiling eggs without the use of
water is the latest novelty exploit
ed at one of Chicago's leading ho-
tells, and as the feat is accomplished
directly before the eyes of the
guest, the new way of cooking,gen-
orally attracts attention and COM
ment.
The waiter places box-like ap-
paratus before the guest and turns
on the electricity from a little
bracket on the wall and places the
desired number of eggs in the heat
er. In about minute and a half
or half the time consumed by the
hot water process, the eggs are
cooked to turn. The idea is an
idea originated by Prof Radke, of
Armour Institute.

CHAMBER OF MINES ASKS
CHANGE OF MINING LAWS
Thinks That Present Financial Situa'
ton Demands Waving of All Per-
formance of Assessment
Work Upon Claims

At a special meeting of the board OF direct
crs of the chamber OF mines held at 3;lo O'Clock
on. the afternoon of Saturday. November D.
the following resolution was adopted
That in view of the peculiar financial condi-
tions prevailing in our country at the present
time. from which conditions there is unfor-
tunately, no immediate prospect of relief; and
That in view of the further fact that IN
consequence of said financial status the pos
SCISSORS of mining claims have been encounter
ing great difficulty in raising the necessary
funds for the performance on such claims OF
fine assessment work required by law; and
That in view OF the further fact that unless
some Immediate preventive measures are
adopted there is great danger of attempts at
the jumping of claims, and possibly law
lessness and riot in the mining districts; now
therefore. be it
Resolved, That Los Angeles chamber OF
mines hereby heartily indorses and urges upon
The part of our national congress immediate
action looking to the waving, during tho
wears 1907 and 1908, of those provisions of the
national lew requiring the performance of
assessment work upon mining claims,
