More Railroad Talk.

The Titusville Herald Of Saturday has
this additional information concerning
the proposed new railroad from Erie to
Punxsutswney, mentioned in these coll
umns last week, the route of which is
through T~ionesta, up Tionests and big
Coon creeks, etc:
1t was stated yesterday that the Penn
sylvanis Utilities company has leased
offices in the Chase q Stewart block on
South Franklin street, the rooms former
ly occupied by Justice of the Peace S. v.
Hsehn. These offices will be occupied
during construction of the proposed roads
until a better and more commodious
place can be prepared. At Erie on Thurs
day a mortgage of 100000 was filed TO
cover the issue of bonds for the building
of the road from Erie TO Union City.
More than a week ago a mortgage of a
similar size was filed at Meadville to
cover the bond issue for the road between
Titusville and Union City. In connection
with this subject, it is stated at Erie that
a much larger mortgage, probably for
sl2, OOO, 900, will be filed soon, covering
the cost of construction of the entire road
from Erie to Punxsutswney.
1t is stated by the Erie Dispatch that
the company will hsYe its principal Of
fees in that city and that the road will be
built from Erie to Punxsutawney, prin-
cipally for freight purposes. 1t is expect
ed that there will be large factories locat-
ed at Erie for the manufacture of iron
products. 1t is we'll known that the Erie
Railroad company has somewhat extern
sive coal fields in Clearfield county and
other points in this state which will be
tapped by the proposed railroad. To get
this coal out will be the principal object,
it is asserted, of the new road. Titusville
may possibly be benefited by this pro-
posed railroad. 1t is to be hoped that
this town will be converted into some
thing more than a flag station, at least.
There has been some talk of a fine new
passenger station here and it is possible
that the new company, which is claimed
to be a large manufacturer of iron and
steel articles, may decide to locate a fac
fory or two in the Queen City.
The Erie Dispatch has visions of that
town of $1,000 people growing into a city
like Pittsburg or Cleveland. Erie will
have a big advantage over other cities in
this section because of being a fine lake
port as we'll IS a railroad center.

The Late Legislature.

The legislature OF Pennsylvania ad-
journed at noon on Thursday last, after
one Of THE shortest and most business like
sessions in the history of the state. While
lew bills OF an important nature were
passed, the work being mainly confined
to the enacting of the necessary appro-
priation bills, there are a number which
are designed, and ought to, inure to the
benefit of the people in a large degree.
One of these is the new school code, on
which a great fight was made, and while
the measure underwent many changes
from the form in which 1t came from the
commission that drafted it, friends of
education believe II will revolutionize,
for good, the common school system of
the state and prove a great stride in the
direction OF Improvement over the pres
ent laws. A test alone Will determine this
point. and that test should be thorough
before it is condemned. Good roads leg
islstion received much consideration by
this legislature. and the states
were lavishly given for this purpose. The
Carothers bill, carrying four million for
macadamized roads, was passed. as was
also the Jones bill, which s%ppropriates
one million to help the townships that
adopt the all cash tax system for road
purposes. The state highway bill, carry
ing a 100000 appropriation, was per-
hsps the least popular road bill to pass,
but the counties through which the road
will pass were enthusiastic in its support
and mustered up sufficient support to
carry it through, with the backing of the
Governor. 1t will be years before this
road will be completed, but 1t will be a
beautiful boulevard when finished.
Taken as a whole the work of the legis-
lsture will compare fsvorably with any
of its predecessors in the enactment of
good aud the suppression of bad laws,
and will go down in history as one among
the best.
1t is gratifying to note that Forest
county's member, Mr.. Mechling, was OF
the right side of every bill, voting against
all vicious propositions and supporting
every worthy measure that was proposed.
No member, old or new. stood higher in
the estimation of his colleagues, and few
exerted a. much Influence for good as he
did. Mr.. Mechling became a favorite in
the House early in the session, and he
added daily TO his list of friendships I'M
til, at tie end, we doubt whether a more
popular member could be found in the
whole body oflswmakers. Forest county
was well represented in the session of
1909. Our member "made good" at every
stage Of the proceedings, and the record
will bear out this assertion.

SUCH a social outrage as is now being
committed in the Chicogo wheat pit, says
the New York American, would be i'm
possible either in Germany or France.
In both those countries severe prison
penalties are prescribed for the punish
ment of those who deal in grain futures
or who attempt TO establish a corner in
food-stufis. Mr., Patten bubbles to the
newspapers and says that he has no "cor-
ner;" that he doesn't CONTROL the wheat
m~arket-since he has in his hands only a
fifth or sixth of the available American
supply. 1t is perfectly evident that one
can raise the price of hoe cakes without
owning quite all the corn in Egypt. The
gist of the wheat Spectators offense
against the sound cannOns of business is
that his business is simply a nuisance,
whether the scale of his operations be
large or small. You are a useful mer-
chant if the net result of your merchan-
dising is to make it easier for people to
get the things you deal in. You are a dis
H"hoSt uho'Nh""'i onu "Oi9o 'hau useless,
il your work makes it harder for people
to live. That this country should content
itself with a lower standard o fcommercial
morality than France and Germany, or
that 1t should be less diligent in the pro-
lection of the peoples bread, is not to be
thought OF. The day ofjudgment and re-
thbution for those who make game of
public hunger is at hand. blizzard.

a successful summer.
The state police from Punxsutawney

IN the Senate of pennsylvania the PEN
sion bill was permitted to die last week.
The bill passed the House with almost
entire u%nsnimity, but when it reached the
upper house that body, with possibly a
tacit understanding, allowed it to fall by
the wayside. Originally the bill was in
troduced by Senator Cochran, OF Lycom-
ing county, whose sincerity was seriously
questioned, many believing it to be a
piece of pure buncombe on the part ofthe
Democratic Senator in order to get a
little political capital out of it for his
party, at the same time putting the Re-
publicans in a hole. He failed in this,
for the Legislature, which was largely Re-
publican, passed the bill with scarcely a
single vote against it, and when it reached
the Governor, he vetoed it because of in
sufficient revenue to carry it out. The
soldier element is considerably divided
on the matter, because many of them
would have been barred from any benefit
because of adverse provisions. A Penn
sylvanian who enlisted outside the state,
or, having enlisted in the state and NOV.
ing out, could not draw a pension under
the bill. Also, a soldier whose yearly in
come reached $500, or one whose term o.
service was less than so days, was barred
These features we're held to be unfair by
a large percentage of the old soldiers.

PERHAPS the champion fool thing that
Congress has done this session is the plac-
ing of crude oil on the free list. 1t shows
how ignorance and prejudice acting in
conjunction can make men blind to the
plainest dictates of reason. Free crude
oil places the American producer sbso-
ntely at the mercy of the Standard, be-
cause that corporation can reduce the
price of crude oil, should it desire, and if
the local producer does not see fit to &C.
cept it, the Standard can secure an almost
unlimited supply from Mexico and Gen.
trail America. The Standard isn't hurt a
bit, but the independent producer is CIV
en- a hard ~jolt.-Punxy Spirit. 1t is to be
hoped the Senate, which now has the bill
under consideration, and is not given to
soaring at the cars, may restore the duty
on crude oil. 1t is pleasing to know that
Congressman Wheeler of this district
gave loyal support to the oil producers
when the bill was before the House.
