The many friends of DR.. j. S. Good

with very painful accident last Sun

lance of Is feet. He was at once
taken to the hospital where he is being
given the best of care. His left side
is very badly bruised and swollen, just
how serious the injury is can not be
learned at present.

The Bellefonte Watchman, one of
those optimistic Democratic sheets
that can always see a 100000 Re-
publican state electing a Democratic
governor by 100000 and handing
its electoral vote to the Peerless
Pleader of the Platte by another
100000, lets out it's lungs like this:
1t might have been a lot of fun
had the third party promoters sue
ceeded in getting Clifford Pinchot to
run for governor of Pennsylvania.
Had he gone into the hustings in
this state, Roosevelt would probably
have taken the stump for him and
Roosevelt would at least have put a
lot of ginger into the campaign.
The esteemed Watchman pre-
sumes too much. Mr.. ROOSEVELT
is still with his party. Mr.. ROOSE-
WELT would be decidedly out of his
element in any effort to help his
personal friend, CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
beat out JOHN K. TENER, the very
able and fairly nominated candidate
of the Republican convention, and
elect WEBSTER GRIM, a man who
knows by this time that the best
thinkers of his own party do not
want him. Imagine even Mr.. PIN
CHOT asking Mr.. ROOSEVELT to
come over and help him in Mace
donia!
But then, why fret and worry
needlessly? Mr.. PINCHOT has
taken all the crimp out of the in
cipient boom that was started for
him by few soreheads by saying he
has no legal residence in Pennsyl-
vania. He shoots and fishes in Pike
county now and then, but he votes
His home, once in Connecticut, is
now in New York. For the sake of
bright though misguided con-
temporary we are sorry the
situation desired by the Watchman
cannot be brought about, but it
seems to be clean beyond all politi-
cal possibility. A third ticket there
may be If anybody is green enough
to dig up the money TO finance it,
but the third ticket cannot claim
Mr.. PINCHoT for its own.

Scratch a reformer and you will
find an office-seeker either past or
present" has become almost a pro-
verb. For several years a certain
brand of "reformers' in this state
have been trying to impose upon
the people their panaceas for the
correction of all evils, but the game
is so manifestly selfish that the third
party movement has degenerated
into a joke. Democrats may be ex-
pected to stand by their party, and
no considerable number of Republi-
cans will be led astray by the talk
of the men who, having had all the
honors of the Republican party and
many of its emoluments, are at this
time trying to destroy the organi-
zation which gave them the only
prominence and profit they ever
enjoyed.

Says the Harrisburg Telegraph:
Champ Clarke is a fine example of
the optimistic Democrat. He gets
much fun out of his midsummer
predictions, which are invariably
frostbitten in the fall.
But he won't loosen up any of that
Democratic optimism at the Water
Gaps Old Home week-if he gets to
it. AS already advertised by the

pretty competent press agent, he will
not lisp one solitary syllable of poll

ocratic delegation to Washington in
November or that JOE FOLK, the

them opened July l. For the bene-
fit of sportsmen we publish a Sec

the catching or taking, within the
commonwealth, of bullfrogs and ter
rapin. Section 1. Be it enacted,
ETC., that from and after the pas

Scranton's select council has gent
ly turned down as impracticable the
curfew law that was wanted by an
organization in that city. Opinions
of good men in good and bad cities
differ as to the effectiveness of a
curfew law, but most progressive
cities do not want one. Their law
making bodies reason, and we be-
lieve correctly, that the lad who is
bandboxed in his tender years is the
fellow who will make up for lost
time when he gets beyond curfew
age. As for Scranton in particular,
the bulk of the liquor dealers are
more careful today than they ever
were before about selling booze to
boys or permitting them to hang
around while their elders take liquid
nourishment, and a great many of
the immoral joints have been put out
of business. Scranton is not such a
wicked city. Scranton is a whole lot
cleaner morally than Wilkes-Barre.
In the latter city it might be an
excellent experiment to try sending
the boys home at 8 o'clock at night.
Wilkes-Barre, wide open and will
ing to be so, needs a curfew a great
deal more than Scranton at her
present gait will ever need one.

COLD is HARD ON BASS.
Low Temperature in Breeding Sea-
son Killed Eggs, Says Commits
sioner


Owing to an unfortunate spell of
weather for Matching fish that was
unprecedented In the history of the
state department of fisheries, the
black bass work has been a failure.
cold weather in May" explains
Fish Commissioner Meehan, "is re-
sponsible for the loss of our black
bass supply. When the temperature.
of water falls to 55 degrees bass
cease to spawn. At so degrees the
eggs that may have been deposited
on the next die, and at As degrees
any young fish that have been hatch
ed will die.
This year the nesting season was
about four days later than in 1908
or 1909, coming as late as May 80 in
the northern hatcheries. There was
an unusual quantity of nests discov-
cred by field men in Susquehanna
and Wayne counties, and a larger
percentage than ordinarily in the
state hatcheries.
&C. H. Nesly of Wayne county
had two lakes in his charge. In one,
called Righten's lake, there were
$50 nests, with 25O,OOO fish in sight.
He got $4,000. Of my own 156
nests, / had $4,000 fish. This un-
expected loss upsets our whole
scheme of stocking streams and 9TH
er waters of the state for the year,

Information from Washington tells
that the ranks of the army that de-
Tended the Union in the great strug-
gle of the Civil war is rapidly pass
ing away. At present about so
names a day are dropped from the
pension rolls. This average is equiv
alent to about 200 deaths a
month, or about $4,000 annually
among Federal survivors of the
Civil war carried on the pension
lists. There are no pensioners OF
the Revolution or war of 1912 liv-
ing. The last survivor on the pen
sion rolls of the Revolution was
Daniel F. Bakeman, who died
at Freedom, n. Y, April .,
1860, aged 1O9 years. The last
survivor of the Revolution on the
rolls lived for Sc years after the
close of that war. If there is any
soldier of the civil war who will
live Sc years after the close of the
conflict in which he fought, his
name will remain on the pension
rolls until 1851. The last survivor
of the war of 1912 lived so years
after the end of that struggle. Ac-
cording to these instances, the
country may be paying a pension to
the last soldier of the Civil war in
