Munson's Political Camp aisnina.
His Democratic opponent is C. La

Truth recently had this to say:
The Democratic candidate for Judge
OF the supreme court, G.. LaRue Mum
son, Is swinging around the state 10
liciting votes to put himself on the
bench of the highest judicial tribunal
in the commonwealth. He is going
into the counties, holding conferences

all the years since the adoption Of the
present constitution. the Democratic
candidate himself would be unable to
find precedent for 1t. The sentiment,
made and ever maintained by the peo-
pie which holds high judicial Office
above such methods, has always been
respected heretofore by those who
have been honored with q nomination.
The DemOcratic' candidate seems to
have a less exalted view of the place
he seeks. and to think he can promote
his cause b thrusting aside what has
become an Gnwritten and should be an
inviolable law. The duties of a Judge
of the supreme court are Of the most

too delicate and responsible to be ex-
posed to compromising personal
campaign for votes. The Office has
never been pulled down to that level,
and no one has ever before thought he
could pull himself up to the office by
such methods.
The Democratic candidate will not
benefit by those methods now. The
people of Pennsylvania have too high

Candidates on the Democratic
state ticket-Particulally the condi-
date for judge of the Supreme court
are making appeals for compliment
ary votes.
What is a complimentary vote?
Why, it is just the same as any
other kind of vote. 1t goes to the
candidate, is counted for him, and
helps to elect him--if he can get
enough of them.
1t is the habit of candidates who
have no hope of election otherwise
to plead for complimentary votes,
and the plea is that it can do no
harm; that it is only compliment.
it goes just as far any other vote in
the election, however.
The complimentary vote is trick
to be avoided. Every citizen should
vote in support of his principles -

Will son and other tax payers against the Grant County Court House Com mission, in which the petitioners seek to restrain the commission from proceeding with the work of construction of the new county court house at Sheridan The pc titioners contend that the eommis- sion is not proceeding legally and that the issuance of scrip as pro- vided for in the contract would i'm pair the credit of Grant county and incidentally injure the finan- cial standing of the county tresury.

\ Wonderful Half Century

The man who is fifty years old hardly realizes what wonderful half century he has lived in. On ly by turning back the hand of time and recalling conditions as they ex- isted in 1859 can he appreciate the marvels that have been re- yealed since he was born.
 In the eighteenth century the gas light was curiosity and not until we'll on in the nineteenth was gas company started. In fS59 gas was used considerably, but the taliow candle was the more preya- lent form of illumination. During the war, whenever city celebrated some important event, the windows of the houses were illuminated with candles. The half century be- gan by candle light, as it were. then utilized gas and kerosene, and now it relies very largely on elec- trie light. In 1859 such thing as electric lighting was absolutely un- dreamed of
 In 1859 nothing was made from cotton but clothes Now We get an excellent oil from il that helps to make a high-class lard; a val uable fertilizer; a good feed stuff for cattle and several other things. The probability is that even the stalks may be utilized for paper or bagging. and indeed every part of the plant may in time serve some useful purpose.
 The age of steel. marking the highest point in industrial devel- opment. began during the last half century Oil and natural gas have been sedueed from the bosom of the earth
 The old castle must have been cold and dreary place in winter; but We have perfected heating to such degree that home can now te made comfortable throughout, X householder can turn on reg ister and have room heated to any temperature he desires He presses a button and his room is lighted
 Fifty years ago the telegraph had been only developed imperfecty. Now We flash a message beneath the seas to the most distant lands and the assassination of ear is known in Memphis about as soon IS it is made public in St Peters burg
 If any one had said that per son in Memphis could talk over wire with some one in Nashville fifty years ago. his friends would have looked upon him as a vision arA that was headed for the mad house, yet now the telephone is as much q commonplace as was the tallow candle in 1859
 Fifty years ago the railroad had net driven out the stage coach. When a railroad reached mount ain il stopped. Now it either climbs ,he hills or goes directly through them One can take train in New York and cross the mountains al d the rivers and reach the Gold n Gate.
 Not very many years ago the people who lived in cities had noth- ing more rapid than the mule ear or the carriage. When the elee- tric car was introduced it was re garded as dangerous experiment Now it is in universal use, and one ides to his home or office in a blaze of liz. hing and never thinks c danger. Furthermore, this elec- tric car is self-illuminating, as it

THE NEW RULES.

In the new rules governing the leas-
ing Of land upon the reservation there
Is certainly much to commend. Es-
pecial attention is called to the section
calling for bids upon land and to the
section which provides that the pay
ment OF commission to an Indian for
securing a lease may work the for
feiture of the same.
These rules should do away COM
plctely with the chicanery and graft
ing that has been complained of for
so long upon the reservation. 1t will
no longer be possible for one renter
to hire an INSCRIPTIONS Indian to
Job" another white man out of a
piece of desirable land. Under the
new rules an honest man should have
as good show as one who is willing
to stoop to dishonest tactics.
Let us hope the new regulations will
accomplish all they are intended for.

FERoCITY OF FOREST FIRES.

Water is useless to extinguish for
est and prairie fires. Dirt and sand,
and tree branches thick with green
leaves were the weapons that con-
quered a fire threatening to destroy
the town Of Pottawatomle, Kansas.
No one knows how It started, but
when the people began to fight it the
flames were advancing in a line a
mile long, urged by a strong wind.
Men and women and children old
enough to be Of service, hurried to the
locality while a dozen plows were
loaded On wagons and hauled at a
gallop to a place on the prairie sever
al miles from the line Of burning
vegetation. The plows were taken
from the wagons while the horses
were unhitched and the animals fas-
tened to the implements, four to
each. AS fast as 1t could be driven,
each team dragged its plow through
the ground, turning UP the fresh soil
and burying the dry stubble which
