Should Associate Judges be Abolished

This question is being sgtated in the
columns of the Middleburgh Post, of
Snyder county, the editor stating truly
that in twenty of the sixty-seven coun-
ties OF Pennsylvania Associate Judges
still exist. This happens by reason of
the ancient law of our commonwealth,
that every county should have Presi-
dent Judge and two Associates, the lat
ter of whom need not be learned in the
law. Since then new judicial districts
have been established, and a law passed
that each county which contained 10000
inhabitants should be an independent
judicial district, and in such counties the
Associate Judges were abolished. The
philosophy of this is that the Presi-
dent Judge was supposed to reside at the
county seat where he was most wanted,
in vacation, or at times between courts.
The same doctrine holds good with re-
gs:d to Associate Judges as their duties
In vacation are many and quite impor-
tsnt as servants OF the people, as all Off
GERS are, or are supposed to be. The ci-
tatiou of a single case, where Associates
undertook to alter and tamper with an
opinion filed by the President Judge and
overruled him in Snyder county, is not a
sufficient argument for the abolition of
the Office of Associate Judge when we
consider that many President Judges of
repute have made awful mistakes and
errors. That is why supreme aud su
perior courts exist-to review and correct
their errors and be check on abuse of
power, or ignorance, il we understand
the nature and character of our legal
jurisprudence better argument for
doing away with the Associates than the
President Judges. The mistakes of AS
for years have made them the butt of
jokes and sarcasm, calling them such
choice names as mutton heads"
"wooden judges" cabbage heads and
describing bench composed OF a Presi
dent and two Associates as 81 judge and
2 cyphers," So in our opinion the obJec-
ton vsnishes. The question of salary as
an objection is without merit, in our
opinion, that salary is paid by the state.
Their usefulness to the people and the
bar, in vacation in particular, is great,
as every lawyer knows, to approve all
kinds of bonds, preventing oppression,
arresting criminals on bench warrants,
etc. In fact they are of more value to
the public in vacation than on the bench,
we csndidly admit.
Among the many duties which they
may perform are these: To enlarge time
under rules of courts for affidsvits of de-
tense. To approve bail, to stay execu-
tions TO prevent fraud or oppression. To
approve bail which has been substituted.
Grant subp9uas in, divorce. Act under
Sheriti's nterplesder act, also in repevin
cases, habess corpus, fraudulent debtors
act, dissolve attachments, grant licenses
to hotels and peddlers, approve insolvent
bonds, grant rules to take dispositions
and lengthen or shorten time. And |
scores of other duties could be mentioned. |

Grandin Mill at Eagle Rock Again
Burned.

For the second time within three years
the extensive numbering plant of Gran
din Il Co., at Eagle Rock, eight miles be-
low Tionesta, on the Allegheny river,
was destroyed by fire, the first conflagra-
ton having occurred August 81, 1905, and
the latest on Saturday afternoon last.
The fire was discovered shortly before
| o'clock and the spread of the flames was
so rapid that in few minutes the entire
main structure was mass of flames.
The fire broke out in the boiler house,
which is directly beneath the saw mill
and in which there is generally large
quantity of sawdust. Seeing their ina
bility to cope with the fierce flames the
mill men appealed to the Mayor of Oil
City for help, aud in less than an hour a
big steamer, several hundred feet of hose,
and dozen members of the fire depart
ment were on the ground, and doing good
work in saving the company's property.
Before this however, the saw mill, the
planning mill, the general store and ice
house had succumbed to the elements.
Sevaral hundred thousand feet of lumber
that had been piled along the runways
we're saved, as were also the large board
ing house and number of other build
ings, by the effective work ofthe firemen.
The loss is estimated at S25 900, and the
insurance is S23, 900. The loss to the COM
pany is lightened somewhat By the fact
that they expected to finish operating on
their tract of timber-once the Clapp
lands-with the next month. G. p.
Bucklin, one of the owners of the plant
was notified by telegraph at his home in
Tidioute when the fire broke out, and
started to the scene in his automobile
Immediately. The distance is 20 miles,
which he covered in 80 minutes over
rough country roads. It is doubtful
whether this record will be equalled in
many years.
The mills and all the buildings we're
owned by Geo. II. Hyde, of Ridgway,
and were leased by the Grandn Lumber
Co. The compsny's loss is confined to
the burning of about 500 ties and the con-
sequent delaying of operations. We un-
derstand portable mill will be installed
to saw out the timber remaining on the
tract.

AN erroneous impression appears 10
have obtained currency regarding the
proposed constitutional amendments
which are being advertised in the REPuB.
LIcAN and other newspapers throughout
the state. The idea seems to prevail that
they are to be voted on at the November
election, but such is not the case. The
amendments are published in conformity
with Article XVIII of the state constitu-
ton. They were passed by the last legs-
lature and must be advertised for thirteen
weeks prior TO the next election. If the
coming legislature, which will convene
on the first Tuesday of next January,
shall pass the amendments, they will be
submitted to the voters for action at the
November election of 1909, when each
amendment will be voted upon sep
arately.

Question in Arithmetic.
Here's one for your boys;

Here's one for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three times
as much as the paint, and one paint goes
twice as far as another, how much are
those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth $3.50 or S1.75 a gallon,
how much is the other one worth?
How much is a gallon of paint worth
anyhow
The answer is: Depends on the paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always paint.
There are true and false paint and short
measure.
How much is a short-measure gallon
WORTH How much is false paint WORTH
How much is Devoe WORTH
There are millions year in the answer
to this one.

Another Fake Issue.

Mr.. Bryan says that the chief question
in the nation today is, "shall the people
rule?" The statement is characteristic of
the man. There is no such issue in the
United States and never has been. The
people rule whenever they care to and
they always have ruled and they always
will rule as long as the republic endures.
His remark is of the kind that the dema-
gogue is perpetually resorting to and in
every age uses as his chief plea. That
creature is always pretending that the
people are deprived of their rights. He
is protesting zeal to open the way to lib
erty, to reform, to good times and general
happiness. He is usually the most dis
NAL of failures in administrative work.
To tell the people of the United States
after their experience of more than CEN
tury of fseli-government that their prob
lem is still one of whether they rule or
are ruled is going far toward insulting
popular intelligence. On other days this
year Mr.. Bryan has put other questions
to the front than that of popular soyer-
eighty. He has laid great stress on the
need of money for his campaign. The
hat has been the biggest thing in his eyes
once or twice during the summer. In
his statement of important things made
not long ago there was no allusion, in the
seven points recited, to the subject of the
rule OF the people. In fact, Mr.. Bryan is
just as shifty, uncertain and vacillating
as ever. He is maxi ing the final fight Of
his life and he cares very little what argu-
ment he uses so that he may catch votes
thereby. Buffalo News.

business transacted on the curb.

pretty well scattered throughout
the list and those brokers who did

There is strike reported in the

place at the mine there ought to
