Would Not Lose Bunch Of Politicians

Some of the newspapers of West
Virginia presist in publishing to the
world that if Maryland were to gain
the stretch of land they claim from the
county OF Preston, that West Virginia
would lose a number of her citizens.
now in public life, especially Hon.
James 5. Lakin, president of the board
Of control; Attorney General Conley,
Ex-Governor W. NJ. 0. Dawson, and
several of the attaches of the several
departments. 1t is apparent that those
publishing such reports are not CONVEX
SAINT with the fact. The strip of land
claimed by Maryland is less than a
mile IN width at the widest point-at
It's nothernmost point and as it extends
southwark narrows to almost nothing.
Terra Alta, the home of MIR. Lakin. is
about four mile from the MARYLAND line
and IN the event the latter state sue
ceeds IN its claim of territory, the home
OF the president of the board of control
would still be over three miles in direct
line from that state
Kingwood, the home of Ex-Gov Daw-
son and Attorney General Conley, is
much futher westernward, and of
course would not be affected by the
boundary line. The same condition is
true Of every person holding a minor
position in the state government.

IN CONFERENCE.

The Payne Aldrich tariff bill is now
in thekhands Of a conference committee
representing the two branches of Con-
gress, the duty of which is TO consider
all conflicting recommendations of the
Senate and the House and report the
bill in finally remodeled form. THIS is
no light task, there being SAT amend
ments made by the Senate to the bill as
adopted by the House. The committee,
however, has a clear understanding of
its work and has laid out definite pro-
gram, the execution OF which is posi-
Die within period of ten days. In the
preparation of this, the Democratic
members have not been consulted, the
majority representation being evident
ly determined that there shall be no
successful resort to tactics of obstruc-
ton in that quarter. If further diff
cultles are Ito arise, they may be
looked for only after the committee has
completed its work and reported back
to the Senate and the House. What
will then come. to pass is matter of
the gravest doubt. There are 50 many
radical differences of opinion, not only
between thei. majOrities in the two
houses, but within the majority ele-
ments themselves, that the outright
failure of the bill is not an impossl-
h1iJ1y7 ''I'biS mould 10
tunate outcome, in view of the amount
OF labor that has been expended by
Congress in the revision of the sched-
ules. At the same time, no matter
what the issue may be the country at
large need not feel disturbed. 1t is
pertinentlyi pointed out that, if the
tariff bill passes, it will embrace no
higher duties than those recommended
by the Senate and no lower ones than
those recommended by the House, so
that business men and manufacturers
know even row the best and the worst
that. may be in store. If the bill should
fail, the Dingley tariff will remain in
force and there will simply be rever-
sion to the statu quo ante, involving no
disturbance of business. Hence there
is no actual ground of apprehension.
Nor indeed Is there any evidence of APP
prehension. Congress having shown
its hand and the extremes of revision
having been laid down, the public mind
is now at ease:and the business recov-
cry goes on without hindrance. 1t is
uncertainty that hurts and of that there
is an end.

the estimates of the leading bull specu-

Despite the marvellous progress in
industrial development, the United
States maintains its position as the
greatest agricultural producer of the

the chief factors in the general pros

satisfaction in all departments of trade.

P0ST0FF!CE RULINGS.

We have had occasion several times
to refer TO and comment on the attitude
Of the postoffice department toward the
publishers Of newspapers, particularly
in the matter of mail privileges and the
competition of the government in the
printing Of stamped envelopes.
A stanch champion of the rights of
newspapers is the Buckeye Informer of
Delphos, Ohio, Carl A. Jettinger, edi-
tor. Commenting editorially on several
questions Of vital import to publishers
and printers, the Informer says in part:
There surely can be no getting
around the fact that if the publishers of
this country permit the fast multiplying
hair splitting rules and regulations the
postottice department has been making
IN late years to stand it will soon be-
come difficult matter to enter pub
hcatiOn as second class mail matter and
the very existence of papers depending
on the second class mailing privileges
will be constantly in danger. The as
surance by one of the assistant post
master generals that there is no inten-
ton to harm the country newspaper be-
cause 1t is not the one these rules and
regulations are aimed at should make
the country publisher feel no safer
than, for instance, if he got into the
hands of cannibals who, while they
were devouring one of his companions
were assuring him that ne had nothing
Of that kind to fear because he was not
fat enough. There is no telling when
they would consider him fat enough,
and there is no telling when the post
office department, if it is granted the
power, will consider the circulation of
the country newspaper at second class
rates just as harmful to its interests as
1t now considers such circulation of the
mail order journal and, to a certain ex-
tent, of every publication that depends
a great deal upon the copious circula-
ton of sample copies to build up it's
subscription list. If publishers continue
I to permit the department to use them
as tools to harm each other, rather
than as persons who have the welfare
of their own craft at heart. it will not
be many years before freedom of the
press in our country is farce and the
power Of the press a myth"

The OUTLOOK.

The government crop report last
week wass the most important contri-
button toNthe general stock of conf
dence in the future of business. The
area Oftcorn under cultivation is lO9,-
coo, 600. acres, which is 1920, 600 acres
in excess of Ithe highest previous rec
Ords. TheIcondition of the crop is 6. 5
per cent higher.than at this time last
year and 4.5!per cent higher than the
ten-year average. The indicated Weld
is 3, l6l, 5000 bushels, which is 200
900, coo bushels larger than the bumper
crop of 1906. The farm value of the
1908 crop was 81 500, 900, 600 and while
the market price today is somewhat
lower!than yeartago, the increase in
acreageyand prospective yield will likely
bring the total value Of this year S crop
up to theI maximum. This is an i'm
mense amount of new wealth to be
added to the general store by single
crop. The indicated yield of oats is
also close to the previous record, and
the indicated yield of wheat has been
exceeded but twice in our history. The
value Of this years wheat crop will
probablyabe the highest ever realized.
The basis5for this expectation is the
extremely.Esmall surplus remaining in
farmers hands from last wears crop.
The government estimates this surplus

PARTY REACHES END OF
THE BRADDOCK TRAIL
Many Points Of March Heretofore Miss
ed,Were Uncovered by Lacock Party.

After traversing a distance of at
least two hundred miles, covering the
Braddock trail from Cumberland, to
Braddock, Pa, Prof J. K Lacock, of
Harvard University and his party dis
banded at Braddock on Saturday even
I ing. DR.. G. P. Donehoo of Connells-
vile, accompanied the party during its
entire tour, and returned home Sunday.
! BY means OF the most accurate maps
Obtainable and original documents pro
cured from both the English and United
States governments, the party was able
to cover every point of the march and
locate many places heretofore unnotic-
ed by historians and seekers after
knowledge in regard to the trail of
Braddock and Washington and their In
dian contemporaries. In many places,
the real Braddock Road was far from
the pike and it was often necessary to
make wide detour to cover the trail
accurately so that the men walked
many miles each day. Dr. DOnehoo
estimates that about 260 photographs
were taken during the expedition by the
official photographer, E. K. Weller, of
Washington, Pa. The latter also in
tends to make number of postals illus
trative of the most interesting points
in order to create more active interest
among the people of this historical To-
cality.
On account of lack of interest there
are few people who know the histories
of Gists' Plantation, Crawford's Spring
and Stewards Crossing and many points
SO near home that they are traversed
practically every day. BY means of
maps made by the chief engineer of the
Carnegie Steel Company it was found
that the present site of the P. r. r.
station at Braddock was the scene of
the greatest slaughter during Brad
docks defeat. 1t is the intention of
Prof. Lacock to write book on the his
tOrical points in Braddock's expedition
while other members of the party ex-
poets to write articles on the historical
points in Western Pennsylvania No
systematic arrangement of these facts
has ever before been given to the public
and number of the schools throughout
the region will insert in their curricu-
lums courses in local history. For this
reason if for no other the publication of
these books will be timely.
That there is great deal of historical
interest being manifested, is proven by
the fact that parties are touring the
region all the time in search of material.
On July "a, the members of the Histor-
ical Society of Western Pennsylvania
win follow the Forbes Road to Ligoner
in order to study the history of the To-
cahty and beginning August Is, Prof.
LacOck will cover the course of the
Forbes Road from Pittsburg to Phila-
delphia.
1t has been suggested by interested
citizens that money left from celebra-
tons such as that of the recent Fourth
of July and Centennial could be profita-
bly, spent by placing markers upon the
sites of historical points in and near
Connellsville. Metallic markers have
been placed at similar places near In
iontown at a cost of 500 80 each, and
will last always. -Connellsville Carrier.
