PLUMMER.
Read Out Of Organization in Blair County,

No longer is J. Lee Plummer an
important cog in the Republican
machine of Blair County. He has
been dropped outside the breast
works by his former political allies.
He lived long enough to see him
self read outside the realm of CO.
operative bos sism of the county,
but he is still a Republican, al
though exceedingly bitter against
Dairy and Food Commissioner
James Foust and Deputy Secretary
of Internal Affairs James H. Craig,
whom he blames for his undoing.
Having nowhere else to go J.
Lee has gone over to the independ
ents or insurgent element of his
party. He has had SO many plat
forms in his candidacy for the
assembly, say his old friends, that
they can no longer tell where he
stands. The organization has slated
two ether candidates TO represent
the Second District of Blair County
in the Legislature, and the rank
and file have been asked to lend a
hand to put the slate through.
Plummer was the Republican candi-
date for State Treasurer who was
defeated by William H. Berry.

Campaign Outlay Law Invalidated.
Faye,.e County Court Declares Uncons.i,u-
tionaI the New Corrupt Practices Act.

In an opinion handed down in
the Fayette County Courts, Judge
Robert E. Umbel declares the Cor
rupt Practices act passed at the last
special session of the State Legisla.
ture to be unconstitutional.
In the course of his opinion,
which covers in a comprehensive
manner the situation precipitated
by The passage of the act, Judge
Umbel declares that the section of
the Governors proclamation call
ing the special meeting of the Legis-
lature applying to the matter of
providing for the passage of the
Corrupt Practices act was the re-
suit of some s:heming politician,
who saw the necessity for the pass
age of some such act, but satisfied
himself with some provision that
would serve temporary need. but
that would not stand the test of its
application to the Constitution.
The case that brought about the
decision of the Court was that filed
December 20, by Attorney M. H.
Stevenson, of Allegheny county, in
the interest of w. NJ. I.ikins, of
Uniontown. The object of the case
was to force statement and &C
counting of expenses incurred at
the last election from John R.
Byrne, chairman of the Republican
County Committee.
On December "a Byrne moved
that the case be dismissed because
Attorney Stevenson was not resi-
dent attorney of the county in
which the suit was brought that
the subject matter of the suit was
not sufficiently stated in the title
of the action, and that the act I'M
der which the suit was brought was
unconstitutional
In commenting on the situation
developed by the suit Judge Umbel
says that if local attorney had
joined with Mr.. Stevenson the first
objection would have been removed
that the second objection to the
suit is not we'll grounded, but that
the third cause for dismissal is
valid, because of the unconstitu
tionality of the act.
In explanation of his view that
the act is unconstitutional, the
Court says the proclamation, among
other things, stated that the situa-
ton touching on corrupt practices
called for some legislation, demand
ing that the Legislature designate
the manner in which funds might
BE- applied to the uses of candidates
or others at elections. The act also
provides for statement from man
ayers of committees or parties re-
garding the expenditure Of election
money.
However, the Court holds that
the word designate" used in the
act cannot be stretched TO include
the meaning of regulate" and
that for this reason the act is un.

THE FLEET TO VISIT JAPAN.

The visit of our Battle Fleet TO
Australia has brought the invita-
ton to visit Japan. 1t has been
promptly accepted, as itshould have
been. The invitation and the ac-
ceptance are both acts and auguries
of peace.
From the start the Battle Fleet
has meant peace, and nothing but
peace. Its presence and organiza-
tion followed Washington's advice,
in time OF peace to prepare for war.
and Washington gave this advice
because he knew that the nation
which is fully prepared for war will
long be at peace. 1t was as an
earnest and guarantee of peace that
the fleet came into being. Its trip
around South America has deepen
ed the foundations Of peace in this
Ii: misphere. 1t has quickened the
ties of amity and friendship with
South American lands. 1t has con-
vinced them that the United States
is ready to protect them from tor
eign aggression, and it has shown
the world that the Monroe Doctrine
has behind it adequate naval power.
The new Monroe Doctrine" in
East Asia is the maintenance of the
existing equilibrium. No change
of territory is to be made. Each
land, new and old, is to be free to
workout its own destiny. China is
to be protected from any outer
pressure. Its treaty rights are to
be respected. SO are those of other
nations as we'll as China's. This
gave weight to Secretary Taft S
declaration at Shanghai that we
would protect our trade. Australia
is to be as free as China in deciding
its interna! development. Each
country fronting the Pacific is to be
equally tree and equally secure.
This policy makes for peace, and
onr Battle Fleet stands for this
policy. 1t is also the policy of
Japan. It's new treaties with Russia
and France guarantee the stability
of the existing system in East Asia.
This is our policy. The invitation
of Japan is frank recognition that
both nations look to the mainte-
nance of peace by avoiding change,
a redistribution of territory or con-
tentous issues in mutual relations
When Australia was announced
to be visited by the Battle Fleet, its
trip passed from American problems
to the wider issues of the Pacific.
By instantly and cordially extend
ing a friendly invitation to the
fleet. Japan both accepts this view
end asserts its position and policy
in opposing change in East Asia.
The United States also is for the
, existing order. Both nations alike
seek peace. They seek peace
through the same common policy.
The visit of our Battle Fleet to the
ports of Japan affirms this to the
| world,

Of
BAD MONEY

Washington, September 4.-Owing to
many complaints received recently
secret service officials believe that a
well organized gang of crooks, operat-
ing all over the country, is engaged in
the passing of notes of defunct state
banks upon the careless and the ig-
norant. Evidently a vast quantity of
these notes have been secured by the
sharpers. They are just as good in
workmanship as real government
money and some of the notes bear a
close resemblance to Uncle Sans cur
rency. The notes most often passed
by the sharpers are those of the
State Bank of New Brunswick, N. j.,
which has been out of existence for
forty years and the defunct State
Bank of Savannah, Ga. Several ar
arrests have already been made in an
effort to stop this illegitimate traffic.

Hearst News Service.

Morrilton, Ark, September 40. D.
Earl, of this place, is the happiest man
in Arkansas. A check for $9,975,
signed by the authorized agents of
Uncle Sans treasury department, is
the reason for his joy.
Four years ago Mr.. Earl accumulat-
ed the neat sum of $4,000. Distrusting
the banks, he deposited the currency
in an old pail, which he buried. Hav-
ing occasion to use some of the money
recently, he dug up the pail, only to
find his treasure rotted and decayed
to an extent that it resembled a bunch
of dried leaves.
On the advice of local bankers. Mr..
Earl sent the decayed money to the
treasury department at Washington,
but he was hopeless of receiving any
return, believing the currency decayed
beyond recognition. The experts of
the redemption division were wiser
than he thought, however, and sue
ceeded in identifying all but $25 of
the $4,000.
Mr. Earl declares that one expert
ence of the kind is sufficient and here
after he will allow the banks to take
charge of his savings.
