Knox for Secretary of State.

Presidert-elect Taft in making
requisi,ion on the tried Cabinet
material of his predecessor could
not have chosen a better man for
Secretary of State than Senator
Philander Chase Knox, Of Peunsyl-
vania.
Senator Knox is one OF the abiest
men in public life-one of the ablest
the generation has produced. His
mind is clear, comprehensive, Wig
orous, acute, logical and thorough
ly trained He will go into history
as one Of the greatest of Attorney
Generals. In the hands OF tiIe man
who first demonstrated the salidity
of the Sherman Antitrust law
against the power of the TiEsets,
who brought the iail road giants
and the Beef Trust magnates to
terms and who framed an Anti Re-
bate law which worked, the stan
dard of work in the State Depart
ment is not likely to fall below that
established by Hay and Root.

hands are clean. NeW K0r& WoyiG.

Without Excuse.

1t is difficult to find any excuse
for the presidents ugliness in in
sinuating that congress- S dislike of
having the criminals of its member
ship shadowed by secret service
men was the cause of limitations
placed upon the employment of the
force by the executive department.
Any one familiar with the question
understands that CONGRESSES mo-
tives were much broader aud much
more justiiable than the president
comedies. The previous us. of the
secret service had passed lawful
bounds by far, and the corps was
rapidly developing by'product of
in the interests of the
executive, from which even The
legislative department was not
wholly free, The question of the
of federal spy system
should be seriously considered, and
if Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks force
fresh attention to the matter his
statement in the message may be
passed over as relatively unimpor-
tant. SpringfeM RepabHran.

Must Kissing Cease?
Or. Shoemaker says that Kisses convey Di.

We are told that kissing is dan,

infections diseases can be contract
ed by kissing, and in some this is
the most prolific cause of infection.
/ Kissiuy the cheek may not be sat-

fos the strange kiss or you may be
sorry
Thsse danger sigtals Oh kissing
have been flashed in an editorial by
DR.. J. V. Shoemaker, of Philadel-
phia, in the Monthly Cyclopedia
and Medical Bulletin.
DR.. Shoemaker, who wrote the
article i'll question, gives his mo-
tives as follows:
After seeing a whole family
wiped out by loathsome disease
contracted by kissing, | resolved
to do what little lay in my power
to protest against this needless ex-
posure that threatens us all, Next
to the indscriminate kissing of per
SONS the kissing of pet animals is
almo as dangerous. Although it is
not generally known, all pet ami

tious diseases, and these maladies

In the editorial in the Medical

to a number of instances where
kissing was the means of trans
disease.

Three Churches Plan for Union.
Presbyterian, Scotch Presbyterian and Ger
man Returned Denominations to Unite.

While the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ i'll America,
which aims to bring the various
Protestant denominations into clos
er relationship, was holding public
sessions i'll Philadelphia, steps were
taken at private meeting to furth-
er the movement to unite three dc
nominations
These are the Presbyterian
church i'll the United States with
I 1905 900 COMMITMENTS; Welsh
Presbyterian Church, which has
about $1,000 commnnicants, and
the German Reformed Church in
the United States, which has 275,- =
600 members OF whom $40 600 are
i'll various regions east Of Harris
burg
As the result of the meeting it
was said that the movement has
taken encouraging shape. The
nj 1vcment was started in Charlotte,
n. c., in the spring Of 1906. The
last General Synod of the Reform
ed Church appointed a committee,
of which the Rev ! 5 Keifer, of
Hagerstown, Md, is chairman. to
confer with the Presbyterian COM
mittee, of which DR.. William II.
Roberts, of Philadelphia, is chair
man. The committee appointed
by the Welsh Presby terian Church
has as its chairman the Rev. K. II.
Roberts, OF Wilkes-Barre.
These three committees came to-
gether. DR.. William II. Roberts
was chosen to preside and the Rev.
George w. Richards, of Lancaster,
Pa, of the Reformed Church, was
made secretary. The whole sub
ject of the relations OF the three de-
nominations was fully considered.
1t was ascertained that in the
Welsh Presbyterian Church the
Presbyteries were engaged i'll vot-
ing on the subject of organic union
and that thus far the vote has been
a favorable one.
The representatives, of the Re
formed Church, while not prepared
TO commit their church to any fix.
ed policy, individually gave it as
their judgment that the only form
of closer relations worth consider
ing was that of organic union; that
fedora iol had alleadY been provid.
ed for by the Federal Council and
that therefore it would be well to
examine thoroughly the question
of union.
1t was voted at the close of the
meeting to appoint sub committee
of three from each of the general
committees to investigate the whole
subject of organic union and to re-
port at joint meeting to be called
by the chairman.

State to Try New Road Method.
Cumberland County Selected as the Place
For the Experiment.

The State highway department
is about to experiment in Cumber-
land county with stretch of road
built a ter the manner of the New
York State highways.
The road will be built partially
within the borough of Camp Hill,
just few miles from the Susque-
hanna river.
The New York me .hod of build
ing roacs is to plow, then dig, then
narrow the existing roadbed, final
ly rolling it as compact as possible
with a steam roller Several coats
OF specially prepared oils are then
put OH the road and allowed to sat.
urate it thoroughly. After anoth.
er rolling topping Of fine crushe1
stone is given, which is then rolled
as hard as possible.
The State highway department
wishing to have a stretch of this
New York road for experimental
purposes. and obtained the consent
of the Cumberland county commits
sioners to utilize the Trinde road
for this purpose. The State will
bear most of the expense. The
stretch Of highway to be treated is
300 feet long.
This particular road was selected
because it was desired tc have the
experiment made as near Harris
burg as possible.

Drug Firm Caused .Aphthous Fever
Michigan Men Tell Secretary Wilson socre,
OF Cattle Plague.

The secret of the presence in this
country of the foot and mouth di.
sease has been discovered. Infor-
nation impaired to Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington, bv a
party Of Michigan men has enabled
the government to trace the latest
outbreak of the disease to its
source.
According to the statement of
h. u. Morgan of Pittsburg, ex.
president of the National Hav as
sociatlon, a large wholesale drug
firm of Detroit, desirous of obtain
tanning a lot of aphthous fever se-
rum, bought a quantity in Ger
many, and conceived the idea of
making its own. A number OF cat.
tie were borrowed from Wavne
county, Michigan farmers, and
about 100 head were inoculated.
After the serum had been drawn
OIL and the cattle returned to the
owners, 1t was found that the serum
bought in Germany was impure
and that all the cattle inoculated
had been infected with the foot
and mouth disease.
Efforts were made to gather in
all the borrowed beasts, but most
OF them had been shipped. With
III short time thereafter the dis
ease broke out in Michigan, New
York and Pennsylvania.

THE HONOR TEST.
Judge Evans Has Pu, Two Prisoners on
Good Behavior

Much interest has been aroused
in all experiment tried by Judge
Chas. c. Evans He has suspend
ed sentence on two chronic offend.
ers, sevcraliy convicted Of larceny,
i'll order to give them a chance to
live upright lives if it is in them to
do 50. II they fail to reform they
are to serve six years each at hard
labor ard in solitary confinement.
The offenders are Charles Cham
berlain who has served three terms
for larceny and William Meredith
who has served two terms. Each
pleaded guilty few days ago of
larceny, on two counts.
In speaking Of his experiment in
their cases Judge Ivan, SAYS:
"In suspending sentence upon
Chamberlain and Meredith it oc-
cured to me that perhaps the young
men might DO better in the future
if they were given q chance. Sen
tences in the county Jail and peni
tentiary have apparently done them
no good.
'Chamberlain has served three
terms and Meredith two for larceny
Of something worth but few dol
lars. In the cases in which I sus-
pended sentence. they pleaded
guilty to stealing from refrigeratcrs
on rear porches of residences.
When they were before me for SEN
tence they were apparently frank
and willing TO tell about their ex-
perience in the criminal courts.
They come from good families, their
mothers being particularly estima-
bic old ladies.
1T occurred to me that they
might have a spark OF manhood
left in their makeup and | con-
cluded to give them a chance.
Heretofore they have perhaps re-
sci red harsh treatment al the hands
OF the Court. / concluded to try
KIM treatment.
Il assured them that if they vio-
lated their promises, made upon
honor, and in the presence Of
large number of people, that l
would issue a bench warrant for
them and impose the maximum
sentence of six years. They fully
understand and realize that good
behavior means liberty, wrong do
ing Ak years in the Penitentiary.
"Iu my judgment many of the
defendants appearing i'll the crimi
nal courts will, if given chance
reform.
my suspending sentence with
these TWO men is only an expert
ment, If it permanently reforms
them much good will have been ac-
complished. If they should only
keep their promises for some con-
siderable time, some good will have
been accomplished. The Gay of
punishment will have been post
poneu. ney nave an luCeutlNe-
a strong one, to do what is right
to live upright lives.
81 would not suggest generally,
that sentence should be suspended |
on old offenders. There are ex-
ceptional cases. The old Offenders,
as rule, should be.given the max
imum sentence.
The outcome of the experiment
is being awaited with great deal
of interest. The men are now free.
They say they will do better and a
of people are showing
fine spirit in encouraging them and
offer TO help if they can do so.
