WHERE THE PUBLIC PENS GO.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.)

A busy looking man buzzed into the
postoffice the other morning, bought a
nickePs worth of postal cards and
started to the desk to address them.
He picked up one pen, but found that
it's point had been jabbed off. Then he
found that the only other pen was in
use. He paced about the corridor and
kicked to Charles Palmer, the informa-
ton clerk, about the paucity of pens
about the place.
When the man using the solitary pen
got through the man with the postals
rushed up to the desk, wrote out his
cards briskly stuck the pen over his
ear mechanically and after dropping
his cards into the box FASTENED toward
the door.
Palmer, seeing the pen behind the
mans ear, stopped him. Hold on
there" he shouted to him. you're
off with the only pen we've got"
That's the way two-thirds Of the
pens disappear" said Palmer after the
stranger had laid down the pen and
gone. They stick 'em behind their
ears from force of habit, and that's

LIFE OF GLASS EYES.
philadelphia Record)


The manufacture of glass eyes mas
been reduced to a science" said a gen.
tleman who is compelled to wear one Of
them. "No two natural orbs are exact
ly alike, each one differing in size and
color. 1t takes the incest kind of cali
culation to get an artificial eye that is
approximately the same in size and
color as the natural one. If the arti-
fetal eye fits the socket, on all sides
the muscles which would move the
natural eye grip the glass one when
they are called into play, and in this
way the artificial orb is moved slightly,
thus lessening the disagreeable i'm
preston which a glass eye gives.
Matching the color of the natural eye,
however, is the hardest part of the
manufacturing process, and requires
the most expert workmanship. When
the glass eye is perfected an exact du-
plicate is made and kept on file just
as business man keeps a card-index
list, so that duplicate order may be
filled by mail. The life of a glass eye
varies from three to six months. The
chemical properties of the tear act upon
the glass. dulling its lustre, and giving
it a dead appearance"

CURRENCY RELIEF PROMISED.

One of the most feasible plans for
the increase of currency circulation is
proposed and urged by the comptroller
of the currency. He is urging the ma
| tional banks to increase the banknote
circulation, and to this end offers to
release government bonds now on de-
posit to secure deposits and permit the
substitution of other acceptable bonds,
provided the released bonds are used to
secure additional national banknote
issues
About $90,000.00O I'm bonds are now
held by the government to secure de-
pOsits of government funds in national
banks. A good many national banks
have not issued their full quota of
| notes. Altogether it is estimated the
currency of the country could be in
creased by from $50, 900, 900 to 5000, OoO,-
OO0 if the banks adopt the comptrolIer's
suggestion.
If this is done. it will furnish the
cash for immediate needs of commerce
and enable the banks to return to nor
NAL methods of transacting business.
New York, as the center of the situa-
ton, could probably furnish outside
banks almost Immediately with enough
currency to meet any reasonable de-
mand, and prompt action would prob
ably establish a currency basis for ope-
rations all over the country within ten
days or two weeks.
Not only would ii relieve the pressure
for currency, but Ii would remove the
barrier to crop movements which has
been one of the critical features of the
situation. In the south large sums of
actual cash are needed for the purchase
and shipment of cotton. The farmer
Will not take anything but cash, his
refusal to sell On credit suspends ex-
ports in a measure, the reduction of
cotton and grain exports restricts i'm
ports of gold from Europe, and dead
lock would ensue If the currency ia
mine were not relieved by some such
method as the comptroller suggests.
With the prospect of relief in this
way, commercial confidence is being
pretty well established, and it ought to
be possible within brief period to set
the wheels of business in motion again.
If little slowly, still with the certain
ty of complete resumption soon.

or even moderately wealthy. A mans
state and nation are privileges not lin.
tied by his own means or the permits
sion of others who have means. The
commonest day laborer, the wealthiest
citizen stand on the same ground as
citizens In the eyes of the law; and
both have equal rights in the selection
of public officials, In the expression oil
political convictions and in the right
of protest against what they believe tc
be wrong.
So much for the measure of citizen
ship by the assessment roll standard
The Americans" are very careful not
to include the Salisbury estate, the
Newhouse properties. the other large
taxpayers, Republican and Democratic,
in comparison with their own taxpay-
ers. 1t is immaterial as an argument,
but it is interesting as an index of the
campaign methods used in behalf of

for American citizenship, he will say
what he thinks about the methods of
the administration and the party, even
at the risk of being published as a COM
paratively poor man. But If the
Americans" are going to prescribe the
people who pay little or no direct prop
erty taxes because they have little or
no property, they are going to find
themselves without party at the polls.
This administration has been extrav-
agant, reckless in it's methods, un-
worthy of public confidence. Its scan

walk contracts and re-letting of the

a higher price; the dissipation of a
great fund and the accumulation of a
100000 overdraft in the general funds
these are matters that confront the
supporters of the. administration and
are proper questions for the considefa-
ton of voters. Whether voter owns
property or not, he has to pay directly
or indirectly for waste of public money
and pay his share Of increased taxa
ton. If he rents a house he paws his
share of the owners taxes; If he occu-
pies only a squalid room, the burden
of taxes falls on him to his full pro-
portion. If he buys groceries or meat
or clothing. he pays his share of the
sellers taxes. 'As sure as death and
taxes" is no joke, and it applies equally
to the poor and the rich.
That is why the small householders.
the people who own little, are taking
just as much interest in this election
as the wealthiest citizen. That is why
the common folks who do not figure
largely in the tax rolls are going to
vote the Democratic ticket and pre-
vent, if possible. the further increase
of taxes, the accumulation of a still
larger deficit in the city's finances.
That is why the Democrats have a
most excellent chance of carrying the
election next Tuesday.

CITIZENSHIP AND TIES.

The American campaign manage
ment assumes that if a man happens
TO own great deal of property and his
tunate citizen exclusively should DOM
mate in public affairs, and that the
prOpertyless man should have no voice
in government. This must be the theory
of the Americans" because they are
publishing the names of the fortunate
cnes of their own party and the less
fortunate ones of other parties in pa
rallel columns as evidence that the men
who oppose the American" admins
tration have no right 10 express po-
litical opinions.
Yet they call themselves "Ameri-
-cans!" In the early days of this coun-
try some very eminent men would have
been disqualified for participation in
government If this rule had baen re-
cognized. Washington was rich, the
Adamses comparatively poor; Jefferson
had property in his early days, but in
later life would have been barred from
political activity if wealth had been one
of the requisite qualifications. From
the first president down to Roosevelt
most of the executives have been men
of modest means; none of them has
been as wealthy as some Salt Lake
Americans" Mckinley. who was
commonly regarded as a good citizen
and representative American. was
practically bankrupt and had to be
financed by his friends in order TO get
his personal affairs Strengthened out
With the very foundation of the Amer
lean government the attempt TO estab-
lish pro perty qualification for voting,
while it was a tradition of the Eng
disappearing people. found little favor
as a principle cf government.
x X
IL the rule set forth IN the Amer
lean" campaign were established by
law, the franchise would be a matter
of dollars and cents. I. happens, how
ever. that IN Utah nc such rule pre-
walls. or ever can prevail. Educational
qualifications may be established,
though that is unlikely, but the Amer
lean people 90 not take kindly to the
notion that mans right TO vote or
his voice in public affairs is to be linn
tied by the dollar sign.
In its desire to diseredit personally
all those who oppose the party on con-
Vtction, the American campaign
management publishes the assessment
and taxes of a number of people who
have little property here and who be-
iieve the American" party should be
defeated. In way, they seem to think
poverty. or modest means, is a disgrace
and should bar the subject from citi-
zenship. Among others they cite as
horrible examples" two members of

It's a cinch all of them would be
pleased to own more property But
their lack of this worlds goods does
not seem to be any particular reason
why they should vote the American"

The Murder Trial.

For the second time in the history of
Cameron county, we are to have trial
for murder at the court to be held here
on the 18th of this month, when Orrie
O'Dell, who, on July 18th, 1907 deliber-
ately murdered his wife, May, leaving
two children.
Unless there may be some legal rea-
son for postponement the trial will be
called possibly on the second day of
court District Attorney, j. p. Nc
Narney will have charge of the case in
behalf of the Commonwealth. He has
passed through similar ordeals and
knows well how many distinctions are
in the road. The Court has assigned
as counsel for O'Dell, Mr.. Fred Arm
Johnson, the youngest member of
Cameron county bar, and we may ex-
one, for he has been devoting consid-
cradle time with the prisoner and
study in the case. While it is often
the practice of courts to assign young
dIUOrHeyS III Gases Ol Similar nature,
but in this instance such is not true,
the Court complimenting Mr.. johnson
on his ability as learned lawyer and
the able manner he handles legal work
entrusted to him.
He is graduate of Dickinson Law
School, class of 1906, and has for sever
al years been closely applying himself
Our readers well remember that six
months ago Mr.. Johnson successfully
passed the examination before the
State Board of Law Examination for
admission to the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania. We feel positive our
young friend will ably battle for his
client, although the great weight of
evidence is against him.

CHARLES L. BUTLER.

The visit of Miss Mabel Butler to our
sanctum before leaving for her home
at Painesvile Ohio, reminds ye editor
that we failed to call the attention of
the citizens of Painesville to the fact
that Charles L. Butler had located in
their town and tell them who and what
he is, for friend Butler might live there
for so years and they would never here
from him who he was more than his
name. Mr.. Butler came here "a years
ago and married, at once taking an
active part in public matters. His
clear conception of every public ques-
ton, deep thinking and constant read
ing of the best literature, soon caused
his neighbors to place him in the town
council where he remained for six
years and labored zealously to the best
interests of the taxpayers, when he
resigned. OF pleasing address, Mr..
Butler was popular throughout the
county and served on the board of
County Auditors for six years and re-
iuoOo W dlloW thC IltpuDIlCdll party W
nominate him fos Sheriff, in Repubii-
can county, and continued to serve for
ten years as member of the Republi-
can County Committee, always hustl-
ing to elect its candidates and keeping
his pen busy in advocacy of Republi-
can principles and its candidates-al
ways to be depended on. The Repub-
lican state organization always relied
upon his wisdom and integrity in CON
gressional and state elections and more
than once he was depended on for eff
fective work. He never wanted an of
flee, but was true as gold and would
go his last dollar for friend and ride
day and night if necessary. Paines-
vile will find our former citizen, who
always bore the best reputation for
honesty, good government and correct
living, valuable acquisition to their
city. None were more highly respect
than Chas. L. Butler and family and
we regret that circumstances compel
ed them to leave us.
