The statesman does the speaking.
The editor booms the town,
The lovers does the popping,
The damsel turns him down
The poet does the dreaming,
The farmer clears the woods:
The eagle does the screaming,
But the stork delivers the goods.

Farmers and all others of this place
who can work or would like TO work,
could be busy just now blowing, sowing
and threshing.
The Littlefield thresher is here doing
business. Mr.. Littlefield is hustler and
works from the shoulder, and we would
not forget his partner, Mr.. Mealy, who is
a Jolly good fellow with always a smile
on his face. We would not forget the
fireman, who makes great addition to
the crew; great fellow for chicken, and
full of jokes, but some feel just little
suspicious of the fireman, as he seems TO
have his mind fixed on something else.
Farmers have their eyes on him and no
doubt he will be watched closely and if
necessary will be taken care of,
While everything seemed to be quiet
for some time past, there seems to be
quite commoton here just now when
we read of DR.. Cook and Mr.. Peary, the
two great explorers, and the discovery of
the North Pole and the honor and fortune

see them, but when we think of them as
great men we don't want to forget that
we have men 10 Forest county who could
become famous if they had Uncle Sam at
their backs. We will just mention few.
Tody Price, great fox hunter, clad in
hunting clothes, with dogs, gun and
knapsack, started out last winter to find
the arctic fox or the pole. After long
journey and many hardshlps he found
the pole leaning against big rock, but
| did not have the Stars and Stripes TO
mark the spot. But he did have one OF
| Uncle Sans guns and with load oi
double b shot marked large arctic fox
which bad long black streak down itt
back. After long chase away from the
pole the fox escaped but the hunter thinks
he can find it again.
Another genius of this place invented
three wheeled tricycle.. The black
smiths bill was $3.50. When completed
he mounted the machine hut the motion
was so great he could not steer it and tn
rough rider OF the west fell into the ditch
tore his shirt, barked his nose, skinned
his arm and then went crippling home
Oh, how the gravel flew. He was dis
couraged and hurt. If he could have hat
small compensation for his machine
say five mill levy from the township o
a small appropriation from the U. s.. n
doubt we would all be running tbre
wheeled wagons today.

Who Owns the Pole!

This question is asked by the PunXsu-
tawney Spirit, which then proceeds to
say; Many persons assume that the mere
fact that an American was first to reach
the North Pole makes that frigid territory
the property of the United States. Such
is not the case, unless we choose to occupy
it, and take the responsibility of reguat-
ing matters up there.
The State Department, fearing that the
impression might become general that
the polar regions belong to the United
States by right of discovery has been at
some pains to correct possible misconcep-
tions. "Of course" says the Springfield
Republican, there is now no such thing
as legal possession by the mere right OF
discovery; but original discovery
strengthens claim if it be followed up
by an official flsgrasing and an effective
occupation. There must be real posses
sion, in the long run, and not mere
paper claim to jurisdiction, based on one
proclamation of sovereignty. When the
new world was discovered these ques.
tions were gradually thrsshed out, and
the modern practice finally established
At first, Spain claimed the coast of Amer.
lea because Ponce de Leon, in 1913, land.
ed on the coast of Florida; but the English
claim was equally good, because the
Cabots had already explored the coas
from Nova Scotia TO Cape Hatteras. Sucl
conflicts we're necessarily compromised
in the end only by the development o
the doctrine of effective occupation
There haye been many discoveries ofneV
lands in the extreme polar regions in tn
past fifty years by the subjects of variou
countries, but of effective occupation b.
their government there has been exceed
ingly little. for reasons seen at glance.
AT present, therefore, nobody has do
minion over the polar regions, becaus
there are no people there to be governed
or interests to beguarded. 1t is matte
of possession. II belongs to the frs
country that may colonize 1t and utilize
for apy legitimate purpose.

ONE of the Pittsburg papers says the
sportsmen of that town are furnishing
up their guns and getting their dogs in
iettle for the fall shooting season, which
is only lew weeks distant. Under the
laws of Pennsylvania pheasants, wild
turkeys, quail and squirrels may be shot
on and after October 10. They may
burnish up their guns as much as they
please, but they need not look for game
in Venango County. 1t is very scarce
this year. 1t is to be hoped the local
papers will not hold out inducements for
outside pot-hunters to come here by mis-
representing the situation. The river is
not full of fish, nor the woods full of
game. But there is fine hunting in Can
ada-and Africa.-Oil City Blizzard. The
Blizzard is correct. Too many false inn
pressions about the great abundance oI
game are given out by editors who dom
know a woodcock from aturkey buzzard
or muscallonge from a blood-sucker.

ACCORDING to the Harrisburg Tele-
graph usually accurate in its political
representations, there already is con-
siderable quiet discussion of the guber-
material timber available for the Republic
can nomination next year. Inasmuch as
Pittsburg and Philadelphia have the two
senator's and furnished the last three
governors, it is conceded that Governor
Stuarts successor will be chosen from
the country. Former Lieutenant Govern
or Watres, of Scranton, is prominently
mentioned as coming from section OF
the state that is entitled to recognition.
Others whose names are heard in this
connection are Senator Sproul of Chester
famous as the father of the good roads law
in this stale aud Lieutenant Governor
Murphy, Cambria's favorite son. From
the northwest Hon. Charles W. Stone and
State Chairman w. X. Andrews have
| been suggested for the nomination. From
a perusal of these and other names which
might he added to the list IL is apparent
that there will be no dearth of good MA
terial from which to choose when the
| time for selection arrives.

TAE newspapers of towns along the
Clarion river are making general and
vigorous protest against wholesale con-
tamination and pollution of the stream.
At Ridgway the stencil is said to have be-
come unbearable since the water has fall
en- so low. The tanneries, paper and
chemical factories are charged with its
present bad condition. At the mouth of
the Clarion where it empties into the
Allegheny river below Foxburg the water
is as black, almost, as ink and there is ap-
parently nothing living in the stream.
There is no appreciable odor from the
water, however.-Derrick.

Sec'y Kellettville Ball Club

THE Punxy Spirit calls attention to a
feature connected with the North Pole
discovery which might easily be over
looked, and which again brings out the
noble traits of the despised and much
abused canine: "When the bardships,
deprivations and courageous perserver-
ance necessary TO reach the North Pole
are being discussed, it must not be for
gotten that not among the least of the
faithful heroes were the dogs that ac-
companied the expedition. Without the
dogs, in whose reliability and cheerful
obedience implicit faith could be placed
the apex of the earth could never have
been attained. Here, then, is to the dog,
the oldest and truest friend of man."

Still Another Correction.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN Il notice in your
last issue a correction of an item pub
lished some time ago referring to the ball
game played at Msyburg between Kel-
lettville aud Mayburg. In the ninth in
ming with the score six to eight in favor
of Kellettville, a runner on third, two
out and two strikes on the man at bat, the
squeeze play was attempted. The deliV-
cry was wide and the batsman stepped
over the plate and struck the ball in the
catcher's mitt. The ball bounded to the
first baseman, who tagged the base, the
umpire said "out," and everyone left tine
field. The bstsman was out for stepping
over the plate. (Sec. 10, Rule 5l.) He was
out in accordance with Sec. 5, Rule 81,
for he clearly attempted to hinder the
catcher from putting the runner out al
the plate. Also out (Sec. 8, Rule 56.) II
was contended that he was not out be-
cause he did not hit the ball; but it was
the third strike. (Sec. 5, Rule 56) And
last but not least he was out because thu
umpire called him out. l was at tn,
game and saw the play made.
