500 VOLTS PASS THROUGH
HIS BODY, BUT HE LIVES

POTTSVILLE, Pa, June IL
Though 500 volts OF electricity passed
through the body OF Harry Oelschlag-
er, an electrical engineer, he had a
most marvellous escape.
II was while he was watching some
machinery operated by power from
the trolley system at Tumbling Run,
a pleasure resort, In an amusement
pavilion crowded with women and
children, that a short circuit caused
the metal OF the machinery TO fuse.
Seeing that fire was imminent,
Oelschlager boldly turned of the cur
rent, his body becoming at once charg-
ed with the full voltage, burning his
hand and arm.
The handle OF the starting-box broke
of, saving his life, though he was par
alyzed In his right arm for couple OF
hours.

A T1atter of Veracity.

1t has come to a question of veracity between
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hearst Mr. Hearst charged
an awful thing upon Mr. Bryan, alleging that Mr..
Bryan offered to help him into the presidency in 1912
if he would help Mr. Bryan in 1908 Mr. Bryan
said there never any conversation between them
that could be made the basis of such statement
characterized it as an absolute falsehood
Mr.. Hearst admits that there were no witnesse.
and Mr.. Bryan is conscious that there could be no
witnesses to something that never TRANSFERRED Prov
ing that didn't do thing can go no further than
bare assertion.
But there is circumstance that will sustain the
contention of Mr.. Bryan. Mr. Hearst says he re-
fused, with fierce but concealed Indignation Mr..
Bryan's proposition to make him president of the
United States in 1912 That won't do After his
efforts to saddle himself upon an unwilling republic
it will not be believed that he rejected the strongest
helping hand that ever extended to him or could
be extended to him.
If this does not settle the case the court of public
opinion might consider the spotless reputation of
Mr. Bryan in connection with the reputation of the
owner OF a string of yellow newspapers that are
belchng baselesS sensations from all their editions
The that lines his purse through the sale of
Misrepresentation ought not to ask decent public
to believe him when he stakes his veracity against
that of the Presbyterian politician whose newspaper
is the receptacle of every ponderous truth that he
can CLEAN from the transactions of the world
When it comes to believing the decent minded peo-
pie of the country will prefer to believe Mr. BRYAN
rather than Mr. Hearst

Danville with defense of the judiciary, Mr. Cannon

Roosevelt and the democratic party is possible Mr.

The overthrow of actions against the Rockefeller
oil trust and the Pennsylvania anthracite trust one
quickly following the other certain to disturb
the equanmity of the public They placed the presi-
dent exactly where he started when he began his
crusade against monopoly, and his term is SO
its end that he will be unable to bring his prosecu-
tons to a successful issue
There is in the minds of the people no new born
antagonsm to the representatives of the judiciary
of the land The sentiment that exists be it strong
or weak, is of slow growth-an evolution of events
that has forced conviction that the guardian of the
nations liberties is becoming an oppressor.
1t invites the conclusion that the system through
which our tribunals of justice are created is wrong
the system commanding that the of the ermine
must first be politician If he is also possessed of
judicial comprehension, fairness, honesty so much
the better But he must be politician, whether
created by appointment or by election.
He must rise to his estate through the demorazing
corruption of party strife and must belong to the
party that casts the most votes. After having
cured through the usual methods, position that
should be free from the faint of political intrigue
there is always present the possibility of assault by
political critics if opposition is aroused through the
processes of judicial procedure
Mr. Cannon would not be disposed to listen to any
thing SO modern a proposition for readjustment
of methods that would place upon the people at large
the duty of nominating and eecting the Judges of
the country-rescuing them from the tyranny of the
appointing process and the corruption of the
and the conventon-tha would eliminate party fealty
from the qualifications of the judicial aspirant and
make competency the test of eligibility.
Such a reform is certain to come if the existing
system of government long survives itself If caste
and faction to continue to rule, it will not mat
ter much. One kind of court will be as good as
another.
