Capital Cases Must Go Before Jury.

The men charged with conspiracy
to defraud the Commonwealth in
the furnishing of the State Capitol
by means of false bills for supplies
will have to learn their fate from a
jury, Judge Kunkel refusing to rule
that the allegations of the Common
wealth have not been sustained by
the evidence The Court holds that
the men under indictment must
make their defense and that the jury
must decide the question on the
facts brought before them.
Any other decision would have
been calamity. The evidence of a
gross overcharge in the Capitol fur
nishings has impressed not only all
Pennsylvania but the entire country.
1t is a mistake, and the people
have really got the worth of their
money in the State Capitol, injustice
to the defendants this should be
made very clear. A decision of the
case on mere technical point, or
a dismissal before complete hear
ing of both sides, would be great
misfortune. The people want to
know the truth of the matter. If
the defendants are innocent they
want all the daylight and publicity
they can get in order to convince
the people among whom they live
that they have been wronged by the
charges of defrauding the State and
seeking to conceal their guilt by
false bills.
The decision of Judge kunkel is
therefore for the best interest of the
people and of the defendants. 1T
permits the whole case to come out,
and in the evidence of witnesses, the
argument of council and the charge
of the Court, the truth will be made
plain. 1t does not seem to US that
any one can be wronged by, or have
just cause of )mplaint against a de
cision that this Capitol conspiracy
case must be tried to finish.

True Heroism Saves Brothers

Three boys by the name Of Confer
had thrilling experience in the
Susquehanna river near the Stone
crusher at LoyalsOck on Tuesday,
Guy Confer aged II years got into
the water first and Lincoln aged
years, jumped in and ATTEMPTED TO
save his elder brother from drown
ing. He was soon held in the awful
death grasp of the elder brother and
both boys went down together. They
had been under the second time and
were about to 90 down the third
time when Jacob Coufer, aged IL
years who had been away short
time from the river bank, arrived
and plunged into the water With
the aid of a long pole he succeeded
in getting both younger brothers
cut of the water.
The boys were playing along the
water, debating whether or not it
was too cold for plunge.
All are excellent swimmers for boys
of their age and they have no fear of
the water, The act of the 9-yearOld
boy in trying to rescue his elder
brother was one of true herOism. He
swan out to the ll-year-old boy,
but when he reached him the
strength Of the elder overpowered
the younger and they would have
undoubtedly drowned together had
it not been for the bravery Of the
oldest brother. They live in the
vicinity of the stone crusher.

New Opening for High Salaries.

A leading agricultural journal
says: s'The rapid development of
agricultural education has created a
demand for instructors in agriculture
horticulture, animal husbandrv, for
estry, etc, That makes them the
best paid teachers in the land. i is
comparatively easy to secure at ii
moderate salary teachers of languag-
es, mathematics or any other of the
older branches, but good instructors
in agriculture are hard to find at
good salaries. The colleges and
high schools, the state and national
departments of agriculture, and
even foreign institutions, are after
men who are qualified to teach agri-
culture in some of its branches. In.
dia, South America South Africa
and China have all been bidders for
American and Canadian Instructors
lately and have secured some O1
them too. Recently Professor Smith
of Michigan has engaged to go tt
South America and Professor Park
er of Minnesota to China, along will

Automobile and carriage manu-
facturers, along with the men OF the
allied vehicle industries, are giving
very serious consideration to the
question of the future supply OF hick
DRY timber. ShiS wood, which is
one of the most important of all
woods, since no satisfactory sub8ti
tute for it has been found, plays a
more important part among the com
mercial timbers than many people
realize.
For automobile and carriage
wheels, where strength, toughness
aod resilency are, essential qualities,
no other wood has been found in this
country that will take the place Of
hickory. Manuf ftlrers say that no
steel or wire spoke has yet been
found that will withstand the wear
and tear of the hickory spoke, and

Three of the largest associations of
hickory users in the county, the
National Wagon Manufacturers
ASSOCIATION of America, the Carriage
Builders National association, and
the National Hickory association,
have completed a series Of co-Operat-
i've tests with the United States for
ests service and the trade considers
the results highly important. The
tests covered a close study of the
properties of different woods used in
vehicles and implements, supple
mented by mechanical tests to ascer-
tain the relative strength of different
woods and different forms of con-
struction and tests the accuracy Of
the present system of grading.

PEANUTS, TOBACCO. POLL TAX.

The Democrats in Virginia are very
mueh wrought up over the peanut. to-
baeeo and poll tax questions. Some of
our Democratic contemporaries are lit
terally toaming at the mouth because
the peanut growers of Tidewater vir-
ginia are asking for protective duty
on peanuts; and because the tobacco
men of Dsnville are demanding a pro-
tective duty against Turkish tobacco.
Our Democratic contemporaries also
hnd that there is great revolt among
the people against the odious poll tax
quahhcatIon for voting as well as other
mean features of the new constitution.
The agitation of these questions bv
the people is not only disturbing the
Democratic representatives in Congress
from Virginia but is giving a peck of
trouble to the Richmond Times Disnatcb
and other Democratic newspapers.
Peanuts and Protection" are haunt
ing our Richmond contemporary like a
nightmare. 1t is so alarmed at the at
titude certain Congressman from the
State are taking on the peanut and to-
baeco questions that it begins to oues-
ton their Democracy; and it says:
1T may be pertinent to inquire once
more what effect it is going to have on
the Democratic party. Are we really
becoming an all-protective country"
On the poll tax question the Virginia
Democracy are between the devil and
the sea- They begin to think they will
be id, if they do and will be id if
they don't-that is repeal or not repeal
the poll tax qualification for voting. It
is hard for the Democratic newspa-
pers to admit that the work of the late
Constitutional Convention in connec-
ton with the suffrage question was
either excessively stupid or wickedlv
corrupt. They can believe either way.
The people think the convention was
both.

British and American Wages.
New York Press.

The London Standard has been max
ing some Investigations regarding the
comparative cost of living for working
men in the United States and in Eng
land; also their comparative wages. The
differences, as the Standard expresses
1t, are those between a free trade work
lngman and a workingman under n
protective tariff, and it considers the
comparison much fairer when made he
tween an American and a British one
than 1t would be if made between a
British wOrkingman and a workingman
on the Continent, as the British and
Americans aspire to similar standards
OF living and have like ambitions with
regard to the bringing up of their child
ren. According to the Standards fig
ures the rate of wages in this country is
startbngly higher than in Great Britain
the difference ranging from 80 TO 200
per cent. Here are some of the COM
parsons made:
Inc orlcklayer's average wage is 50
Us. Cd. in England and Sc Is. sd. in the
United States; the plumbers WAGES are
Il 10. Sd. and s5 6s. 3d.: the painters
81 lis. 81. and So It's. I'd, the enoi-
neering smiths 81 los. and SO 17s. I'd
respectively, in the two countries. The
rates chosen for purposes of comparison
are the highest of the predominant
rates for the United Kingdom and the
average rates for 1907 in the United
States, so that the method of co.npari-
son Is one which unduly favors Eng
land.
That the cost of living is greater in
this country is true, but it is also true
that the workingmsn lives better and
the claim that the increased cost of liv-
ing swallows up the increased wages of
the American is proved untrue bv the
Standards figures which show that
taxing into account such necessities nc
rent and fuel in addition to food and
clothes, the United States skilled work
man is left with a weekly balance of
about seven dollars, while his British
brother of the same grade has a weekly
balance of only about two dollars. The
STANDARD is forced to the conclusion
That The American workman would
not and willingly does not, change his
lot with the British workman
