THE HOME Or THE BRAVE
(Life)

A friendly critic in Canada wants
to know why the United States con-
tinues to insist on calling itself the
home of the brave.
We are sorry we cannot inform
him. We are re iably assured by his
torians that this was once the home
of the bravest people imaginable, ex-
elusive of Indians and others not
taxed. Assuming that to be true, are
we living up to our reputation?
On the other hand, should we live
foolish to live up to a reputation
which one already has? 1t is a nice
point. Many biologists and sports
men claim that the only reputation
we should live up to is the one We do
not possess. The Hon. Jack John
son is undoubtedly a brave man. He
s our leading Doctor of Bravery.
But now that he has the champion
ship belt, is anything else necessary
If man goes to college and receives
diploma proving that he is educat-
ed, doesn't that mean that he is al
ways educated?
We prefer to think that a nation is
not expected to be brave all the time,
The United States has in times past
proved its bravery beyond peradven-
ture of doubt. Although the last for
NAL test was over century ago 1--WE
do not count the little tiff with de.
crepit Spain), we could easily come
back" if we wished.
This is the best answer we can
make 20 our Christian friend as to
the facts of our bravery. If, however,
he wants to know why we should
keep boasting about it in song and
| story, Ike common village bully
then we have nothing to say at all.

INDICT cox ON

Brought Out at Trial--says Test.
mony He Gave Relative to interest
on County Funds Was True and
Would Not Change II.
Cincinnati o., Feb. 22.--It is be-
lieved that the indictment charging
perjury against George B. Cox, which
was returned by the grand jury, is
the result of testimony given before
that body by John H. Gibson, former
treasurer of Hamilton county.
The indictment was returned be-
fore Judge Frank German after the
Jury had heard the testimony OF Glib.
son and Tilden r. French, another OF
the former treasurers who had re-
turned illegal interest.
Gibson was one of the three coun-
ty treasurers who returned S2l4.000
illegal interest, collected on county
funds, to the county in 1906. The
money was returned after legislativ e
investigation had disclosed the fact
that such interest was collected.
The indicted political leader testi-
fed before a previous grand jury
March 26, 1906, that he had never re-
ceived any share of such interest
from any county treasurer or any
bank. The present grand Jury
charges that he did receive about
s4S,0O0 of such funds, and must
therefore have committed perjury in
denying that he had.
The manner in which the illegal
interest was obtained follows: The
favored banks county funds supposed
to De In tneir vaults. Tnese banks
IN lieu of formal interest, sent the
treasurers "gratuities."
When informed of the indictment
Cox went to the courthouse and gave
bond in the sum of $4,000, signed
by Abe Furst, for his appearance in
court at date yet to be determined
Cox Issues Statement.
Later, Cox gave out statement II
which he protested his innocence
and said he considered his indict
ment a political indictment, done by
Democratic judge who drew the
grand jury from his inside pocket in
stead Of the wheel, as required b!
law. He asks the public to withhold
Judgment until the facts are hearC
by public trial. In conclusion HI
says: "My supposed Indictment wa
brought because of testimony that
gave TO the grand jury in 1906. TIL,
statement that l made before thu
grand jury at that time was abso
lutely correct. l do not care t.

Yet we question in spite of the more rigid laws
enforced each successive calamity has brought
conscience-strcken community to realization that
something must be done and belated public opinion
has howled for punishment of one or two individ-
nails whether tomorrow the next day next week
or next month next year another Socum, another
Windsor or another Iroquois calamity will not take
place.
It is hard not to be pessmistc after such calami-

of the hotels you have been in SINCE the Windsor

TuE HOSPITAL AT FARvIEW.

Our neighbors the Tribune-Repubcan and the
Carbondale Leader have pointed out that unless the
LEGISLATURE takes the present opportunity to approp-
ate funds for completing the work OF construction Oh
the state hospital for the criminal insane at FarVleW
that hospital cannot be opened for another TWO years
That such a postponement would be most re-
eretable waste of time The Citizen does not heslIale
to affirm The structure is nearly completed ana 1t
needs but the appropriation of certain sums to hhsh
the work on the sections incomplete, to furnsh
and open such other sections as are ALREADY copleeu
and finally start work on still other secuohs which
the erection of such an institution Will render neceS
sary. - l..
If the Legislature will have the good sense 10
make such an appropriation the hospital can be
opened sometime during the coming year. II the
LEGISLATURE negecs for any reason whatsoever 10 ap-
propriae the necessary funds during the close OF he
present session the completion of the hospital build
ngs must be left to the kindly mercies OF the next
Legislature.
Obviously there pressing need Tor the con-
struction of hospital in the first place or the
money would never have been appropriated to begin
it, Now that the buildings are partially hnlsheu
there is still that practical need and in addtloh'
there is the ethical need of doing thing up thorough
ly once it has been started.
We trust that the gratifying speed which has
marked the construction of the hospital SO far may
not be marred by two years delay. Let the Legls-
laors put aside for the moment their lndVidual de-
sires and work the welfare of the whole by sane
tioning the expenditure of the money for the compe
tion and opening of the hospital at FarView' Let
them glance the direction indicated by the tribune
RenubIcan towards Ruttersville, where hospital has
been n the course of construction for ten years ana
is not yet finished, and is now the subject OF graft
charges"
1t is not right that the good work thus far ac-
complished should be botched by period of inactiv-
ity The Legislature should to it that the matter
is taken up at the appropriated and the
Farview Hospital finished 1t rests with the present
body of at Harrisburg whether the hospital shal
become established fact and begin its usefulness
as completed or whether the unfinished
buildings shall become in the next two years series
of ruined monuments to the shortsghtedness of the
Legislators"

THE YEAR IN THE HAWLEY
CHURCH.

The year has been one of unusual
trial with the church on account of
deaths and removals. We have lost
six by death and as many more by
letter, while many of our young peo-
pie, retaining membership with us,
have secured situations abroad, thus
depriving us of their efficient and
valued service.
But for all this, the work has gone
successfully and nobly forward. We
have as fine band of 270 members
as can be found anywhere.
At the beginning of the year the
pastors salary was increased, putting
the charge in the $1,000 class. We
faced then a budget of necessary
expenses to run us through the
twelve months of $500 in round
numbers. This has been fully met
with surplus of about $40 in the
treasury.
The benevolent calls have been re-
sponded to as never before in the
history of the church, our contribu-
tions aggregating $3.50.
We use the full General Confer
ence order of service with the addi-
ton of a few items from the Wesley
Sunday service adopted by the
christmas Conference" of the Meth
odists in 1884, which has never been
abrogated by the action of any sue
ceeding General Conference. The
congregation joins in this service in
most hearty and thrilling manner.

and is composed of young people OF
high character and of great fidelity

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in

Editor The Citizen:
The following will no doubt be of
interest to our Pennsylvania read
ers:
Do you wish to have a package of
your butter judged and comments
made on it by an expert butter
Judge?
Do you wish to have your butter
analyzed for moisture and salt?
Do you wish the amount of over
run figured for you and comments
made as to the securing and con-
trolling of overrun?
The Dairy Husbandry Department
of the Pennsylvania State College
will do this for you. The contests
are for the purpose of helping the
buttermakers; they are entirely edu-
cational. Competition is becoming
more keen and the consumer more
critical. There is, therefore, more
demand for educational work. Those
who have taken part in previous
contests want them continued.
Plan of the Contest: l. Upon re-
ceipt of notice from a Pennsylvania
buttermaker that he wishes to take
part, we send him, express charges
paid, a five pound tub and entry

blank, giving the information called

Dear Sir:
By your favor of February 14th,
addressed to the Attorney General,
you ask to be advised whether the
election of School Directors will
hereafter be held in November and
whether the Director whose term of
office expires in June, 1911, will hold
over.
The February election has been
abolished, and the November cleo
tion in the year 1911 is the election
appropriate to the election of School
Directors. The Act of Assembly ap-
proved March 2, 1911, entitled

GRAFTON the amendments to sections 8
and 21 of Article ", Sections IL
and II of Article " Sections 2 and
of Article VIII, Section 1 of Arti-
Gle XII, and Sections and of Ar
! ticle XIV, of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
adopted November second, one thous-
and nine hundred and nine, pre-
venting any hiatus in the terms of
offices affected thereby, fixing the
time when the terms of certain Off
ces shall hereafter begin validating
the official acts of certain officers dur
ing their extended terms and defining
the term public officer as used in
this Act" provides, in Section L:
THAT all public officers hold
ing office at the date of the
| approval of said amendments not
otherwise provided for, whose terms
of office expire at any time during
an odd numbered year, shall continue
to hold their offices until the first
Monday of January in the next even
numbered year, and that all such
officers whose terms expire in an
even numbered year shall continue
to hold their offices until the first
Monday of January in the next even
numbered year"
The term public officer" is de-
! fined in the Act to include "all OFF,
GERS elected by vote of the people,
whether the offices that they fill were
created by the Constitution or by
special or general Acts of Assembly"
This Act of Assembly answers
your inquiry, and you are therefore
advised that there will be no vacancy
in the office of School Directors in
June, 1911.
Very truly yours,
