osRoRN,s CANDIDACY.

II Is observed that there Is consid-
cradle criticism In certain quarters
because Regent Osborn is going about
the state and vigorously saying what
he thinks about state affairs. IL is
of course entirely right and proper
that the things he brings up for dis
cussion and thought should be criti-
cized by those who disagree with him
or who think they can offer better So
buttons than he offers for problems
that require remedies. In no other
way. is seems To us can the people
of the state reach determination re-
garding any reform that they wish
ia Institute, comments the Saginaw
Courier Herald. That the people de-
sire to establish a change in the con-
duct OF state affairs is plain enough
To those who are not blind to the trend
of current thought. There is nothing
surer than that the people thoroughly
believe that intolerable conditions exist
that must be rectified. And they are
going to attempt to rectify them, we
think. They may choose Mr. Osborn
Mr.. Montgomery. Mr.. Musselman or
Mr.. Hemans to help them i'm their
task. We do not think they intend
TO delegate to Mr.. Kelley that respon-
sibility. The election Of a governor

jority i'm a poll that gave the presi-
Dental candidate of the same party
over 100000 majority would seem to
indicate that there is no great de-
sire to once more entrust the over
sight and conduct Of state affairs to
the hands of practically the present
regime. That this conviction is based
upon reasonable grounds is shown by
the fact that Lieut.-Gov. Kelley is de-
voting his public addresses almost

AID TO ENLISTED MEN.

For some time past, the regular ar
my has been attracting the serious
attention of other than military men.
The present need of a standing army
is admitted on all sides. II is admitted,
also that our standing army is not
too large. But it is generally known
that IL requires constant effort on the
part OF the government To keep il re-
cruited up 10 anything like its full
strength. Opportunities outside of the
army are too numerous and too at
tractive. Yet there are also innumer-
able reasons why the advantages of
military life and training should draw
a sufficient percentage of our young
men TO the recruiting office. There is
a growing belief that the regular army
should and could be made great ed
ucational establishment-that IL could
and should be so organized and man
aged that young men entering the SER
vice might be graduated from il five
years later with a training that would
qualify them To iii useful and respon-
sible positions in the professional and
business world.
A bin has recently been introduced
in congress providing for the compul-
sorry saving of part of the monthly pay
of each enlisted man in the regular
army. navy and marine corps of the
United States. and stipulating that in
terest shall be paid on the enforced
deposits at the rate of per cent per
annum. The purposes of the measure
are To make il greater object to the
enlisted man To observe the terms Of
his contract with the government and
to enable him to start decently i'm life
when his term of enlistment ends.
Regarded i'm the light of military
regulations purely. no serious objec-
ton could be raised either TO the eco
nomic or educational proposals ad-
vanced here. on the assumption that
the government rightfully exercises
| complete control over enlisted men
during their terms Of service, and that
| it is justified i'm making special rules
and laws for their observance, that
would not be applicable or acceptable
to civilians the very large and infiu-
entail element of our population OPP
posed to paternalism might tolerate
and even approve of these innova-
tions, regardless of their paternalistic
tendencies. The purposes appear to

FIRE DAMAGES
OLD HOUSE
Volunteers and Paid Fire
men Called Out.

Considerable excitement was
caused by a fire in an old house In
Kreischerville shortly after 6 o'clock
last night, when both the paid de-
partment of Tottenville and the vol
unteers of Kreischerville were called
out to battle with the blaze. The
fire occurred in the two and a half
story frame house OF Allentown ave-
nue., Kreischerville, owned by Mrs.
o. H. Barnard, Of Towanda, Pa. The
building was occupied by Joseph Fee
dorlass and family, who were at sup
per at the time the fire started. The
building was burning about fifteen
minutes before n firemen arrived
and gained considerable Roadway.
The fire started In the upper story
and burned nearly the entire roof
from the structure. The 1remen of
Washington Hook and Ladder Com
pany, of Kreischerville, were sum-
moned by telephone and pulled their
apparatus to the scene Of the fire
by hand. In the meantime an alarm
was turned in from box 20 at the
corner OF Mill road and Riverside
avenu that brought out 101 hook
and ladder company and 201 engine
company, of Tottenville, under Cap
tain John Hughes and lieutenant
Joseph Butler, who made fast time
in reaching the fire a few minutes
after the volunteers, after travelling
the distance of nearly two miles.
Captain Hughes, who is acting bat
talon chief on this end Of the island,
took charge of the fire and relieved
Foreman Albert Killmeyer of the
Kreischerville department, who re-
turned to their quarters. After
about an hours fight, the blaze was
extinguished and the local compa-
MES returned home. The cause of
the fire is unknown. The damage is
estimated at 1000. covered by In
surance. Fedorlass saved most of
his belongings, which only consisted
of a few articles. This was the sec
ond time that he and his family
have been routed by fire in the past
year. In the summer, the house
the occupied In Mill road. belonging
to the T%ottenville Copper Company,
was destroyed and he lost every
thing. At the blaze last night Ser
