feel 80 prond of the occasion that they
are going along to Washington to see
Congressman Barclay sworn into of

We also should insist that Mr.. Bar

reelection next Spring, feeling sure
that If he will allow us to do so the
other counties of the district will ioin

the people will elect him by a larger
majority than before.
The strict attention given to the
duties of the Office have already made
the genial Congressman more popular
than ever before, in all parts of the
district.

Bears Are Numerous,

Bears are reported 30 onumerousin the
mountains near Sinnamahoning that
it has become common thing for the
natives to have several at time chain
ed to trees in that neighborhood.
No need of Teddy Roosevelt going to
the southern jungles to hunt for bruin
when this game is 80 plentiful up this
way. The old hunters of that locality
have been using a new bait composed
of "onions, cabbage and peanut butter"
and it has attracted the bear for miles
around. 1t is thought that unless the
use of the above bait is stopped, by
spring there will not be even chip
monk left in that part of the county, as
they will eat up everything to be
found.

He Told the Truth.

1t is not pleasant and profitable to
always speak the plain truth in the
columns of a newspaper. Men who
have tried this heretofore have always
come to grief. Only few days ago
the editor of paper in Indiana grew
tired of being called a liar, and ane
nounced that he would tell the trnth in
the future, and the next issue of the
paper contained the following news
items:
"John Bonin, the LATEST merchant in
town, made trip to Bellville yester-
day."
"John Coyle, our groceryman is
doing q poor BUSINESS. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do
much?''
Rev. Styz preached last Sunday on
Charity The sermon was punk"
'DaVe Sonkey died at his home in
this place. The doctor gave it out as
heart failure. Whiskey killed him."
''Married:-Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Collin, last Saturday at the Bap-
| tist parsonage. The bride is very
ordinary town girl, who deesn't know
any more about cooking than jack
rabbit does, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not beauty by any means, and has a
gait like duck. The groom is an up
to-date loafer. He's been living on the
old folks all his life, and is not worth
chucks. 1t will.be hard life."
"The Governor of our great state,
very ordinary man, and who was elect
ed by accident, was here yesterday.
He has very few friends here now. He
promised some of the voters of this
precinct piece of the pie, lin event of
his election. but had forgotten all about
it when the time TO hand over the little
office rolled around"
The paper no sooner reached the
public than committee was sent to
the editor bearing petition asking
him to continue in the good old way,
and stating that they believed him to
a be truthful, honest man.-Live Oak
Democrat.

The Peoples President.

Our peerless country holds the palm,
For men of great renown;
In fact, in every walk of life
No greater can be found.
And while we duly honor them,
For all they represent.
There's none so dear unto our hearts
AS the Peoples President
The statesmanship of Washington,
The sturdiness of Grant;
With Clevelands Independence,
And with .Lincoln's gifts extant;
While with Jackson's hardy forcefulness,
The country is content,
For all these virtues are possessed
BY the Peoples President"
Theodore Roosevelt is his name,
1t is on every tongue;
And from the hearts of young and old,
His praise is daily sung
And from the homes of rich and poor
This fervent prayer is sent,
MAY Gods full blessings shine on him."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Washington, NOV. Ilth, l9OI.
President Roosevelt issued a
statement on Thursday designed
to show that as general PROPOSE
tion the verdict rendered at the
polls in the various States could
not be construed as rejecting adj
versely upon the popularity of his
administration. 1t has been claim
ed, in some quarters, that the
slump in the Republican majority
in New Jersey, where the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nominee pulled
through by 1900 could be attri-
buted to the unpopularity of the
Presidents policies, and that the
same argument could be advanced
with respect to Rhode Island and
Maryland, while the victory of
Tammany over the fusion force in
New York City could be directly
chargeable to the same cause.
The President took exception to
these contentious, which he con-
siders are wholly erroneous and
gave out a statement which may
be summed up in his closing sent
ence, GAS whole, the showing
has been an improvement over
what it was four years ago and
eight years ago." 1t seems that
there is little, if any, excuse for a
controversy, in view of the fact,
quite generally conceded, that the
election possessed no national
significance, and that the admins
tration policies were not injected
as an issue into any of the contests.
The names of the Federal office
holders for the new State of Okla
homa were announced at the White
House on Thursday and the an
nouncement precipitated a whirl-
wind of indignation and wrath
among the office seekers and their
friends from Indian Territory who
have spent the greater part of two
weeks in Washington believing, as
they express it, that there would
be something like an equitable
division of these six offices. OF
the sixteen Territorial judges who
came to Washington with their
friends to present their claims for
one Of the new Federal iudgeships,
not one landed a prize. The APP
pointees are lawyers in the two
Territories. Mad but mildly ex-
presses the state of mind of the
politicians who took their depart
ure by Thursdays s afternoon trains
and threats were made that the
new State would be taken away
from the friends of the administra-
tion.
Mr.. John A. Fox, of Arkansas,
special director of the National
RiversandHarbors Congress, reach
ed Washington on Wednesday,
after trip of more than 10000
miles throughout the United States.
He is here to complete certain ar
rangements in connection with the
forthcoming convention of the or
ganization. Among those who
nave signified personally to Mr..
Fox their intention of being pres
ent are Gov. Glenn, who will head
delegation of sixty from North
Carolina; Governors HOke Smith.
