Defeat ID Gorman Impends.

Resulting from the recent guber-
material primary of the Democrats
OF Maryland, there Is more than a
hare possibility of Arthur Pue Cor
mans defeat at the polls this fall.
The primary itself was too close to
be satisfactory to Mr.. German and
he certainly sees danger ahead from
its very closeness. Even there is a
possibility of his being counted out
in the state convention.
If Mr.. German is to lead the DEM
ocratic party in Maryland, however.
it will be but another instance Of re-
action on the part of Democracy,
something that has taken place in
nearly every instance where Demo
Gratis were elevated to power with
no regard whatever for campaign
policy or pledge. There is Harmon
as an instance He is very reaction
airy. One might come to this state
for instances, too. The only ex-
ception seems to be Governor Will
son, of New Jersey. and there are
many in his state and the nation of
his own political party who are at-
ter him with sharpened knives.
There Is reputation of Demo
Gratis everywhere because they fail
20 live up to their promises and
their platforms, but it has ever been
SO, and only once in awhile are the
people fooled.
Truly, is it said of German that
ne is member of the Democratic
state machine, boss by inheritance
a creature OF the corporations, a
political product of the tough ward
of the city OF baltimore. AS an exc
change says 1t is worth while noting
the fact that Democracy wherever
1t has had a fair chance has turned
to such men as German.
This year. however, it appears
as shown by the primary election
that there is a rebellion in Maryland
against Gormanism that very seri-
ously threatens the overthrow OF
the machine. of which he is the head
and German will go down with 1t.

Against the Government.

The belief is rapidly spreading
that the once popular pastime of fren-
zied undertaking is not a delightful
nor even respectable game in which
to engage. This opinion no doubt
imbued the editor of the Bluefeld
Daily Telegraph when he composed
the following editorial, which was
published in a recent issue of that
Interesting paper:
1T is an ancient story OF the Irish
man just landed, who, when asked
as to his politics, replied, Faith,
and 1 don't know, but Pm ag'in the
government" His reply spoke
more forcfbIy of an earlier unhappy
political history than of any govern
ment or party, since the members
OF his race, once indicted into the
mysteries of American politics, have
proved the staunchest of partisans,
the most regular of regulars
But there is a class that always
regards the political situation with
dark disapproval, whatever the for
tunes of parties or leaders. To
such, whatever is is wrong. and for
any man to obtain position of Off
cial prominence is to make him at
once an object of attack. The earli-
est record of the clan was the dis
gruntled Greek, who cast the shell
of Punishment against the upright
.AristIdes, because he was tired OF
bearing the last named gentleman
called 1.-The just"
Huck Fins pap, half drunk on the
crow, and with his toe protruding
from a ragged boot, inveighled
against the 'guv'ment" after fash
ion that furnished model for all
his successors.
The professional muckraker Is
"ag'in the guv'ment" at all times.
He RACES from one end OF the conti-
nent to the other. always finding
things in bad way, which it is his
business to do. He is pledged in ad-
vance to that course. He consti'
tutes of himself judge, jury and eX-
ecutioner, and always brings in
verdict of guilty At worst, the
object of his Investigations Is a VII
lain OF deepest dye; at best, he If
inert, inept, a nonenity, a man OF
straw, unworthy of the trust of the
people, untitled in every respect fol
the high position he holds.
And such men as these, dragged
along unwillingly in the onward
progress of the nation. regarding
with jaundiced eye the constructive
work in which earnest and homes
men are continually engaged, arc
not without their influence.
Every candid observer must ad
init that a higher standard OF moral
ity prevails today in both public and
private life than ever before in ou'
history.
There is such a thing, of course
as foolish optimism-of crying
peace, peace" when there is nj
peace, and of shutting the eyes t.
gross outrages in government O.
morals. But we believe that thu
claim of higher standards in publ
and private life will stand the ties
of observation and comparison.

For Steamers from the United
States Other News of
Paris.

PARIS, Sept. Claude Cashier
Perier. son Of the former president OF
the republic, is making campaign in
favor Of substituting Brest for Hayre
AS the French port for steamers
from the United states. He admits
chat the inferior place ne1d by French
steamers in Atlantic trafdc is due to
the activities Of the Germans and Eng
fish in building larger and faster
steamers but contends that the French
could better their position by reduc-
ing the distance between France and
New York which a change to the
more westerly Brest would bring
about. The distance from Brest to-
Paris is considerably longer than that
between Havre and Paris. Neverthe-
less, M. Perier declares, the inaugu-
ration of series Of fast express trains
would notably decrease the existing
train voyage and the total sailing
time between Paris and New Yori:
would be at once distinct advantage
to French transatlantic travelling.

French hunters are cleaning their
shot-guns for the annual hunting sea-
son opening during the closing days
of August and which this year is par
ticularly alluring. Game is abundant
Partridge, pheasant, hare, rabbits. rec
buck and even deer have been sighted
in unusual numbers in the consider
able areas of woodland which do not
come under the heading of private
hunting grounds.
OF these private grounds there are
many. NJ. Lebaudy, the so-caleld
sugar king. pays $4,000 year for
the right to control the hunting in the
famous forest of Fontainebleau. But
even so, the forest is public domain
and any person who wishes may fol-
low the Lebaudy hunts. In France
hunting comes within the ambitions
and reach OF the masses Of the people
who may have fancy for that form
of sport. The only requisite after the
gun and powder is a government per-
+, nit which costs about $3.50 yearly.
Quantities of game are found within
a short distance of Paris. Invitations
arc already out for the more preten-
tfous hunts of the rich man on his
private domain. In these custom
dictates that the hunter shall be &C
,companied by two men, a valet and
a guard Sometimes there is even
third-the gun-carrier. The gun-car-
rier passes the weapon to the guare
who gives 1t in turn to the valet who
then hands it to his master. This
complication is remnant of the mag
nifcent hunts in the early days OF
France when the joyous tumult OF
hound and horse, and valet and pig

shateau.

inent Frenchwomen of today are ar

the suns light In itself presses
against the earth with a force some
thing like 10000 tons. AS the surface
Of sphere varies as the square Of
the radius, and as the volume or mass
varies as the cube Of the radius, and
as the mechanical pressure of light on
the whole surface varies as that sur
face, and as the force Of gravity varies
as the mass, If sphere is made
smaller and smaller 1t is easily seen
that the pressure Of light does not de-

At the department of Public In
struction he is regarded as one of
the most able superintndents in the

continuing him in office for another
term.

This is the season of the year
when property holders should look
after the condition of the sidewalks
along their property. 1t has been
noted that in several places along
the streets of Laporte the walks
are in need of repair, in part from
the action of frost and water and
in other places because the material
has succumbed to the infirmities
of old age and fell through, leav-
ing dangerous foot paths for the
traveller. Nothing will disgust a
visitor to a pretty village like La
porte more than to be forced to
keep continually watching the path
he is travelling while out for the
purpose of sight seeing, in order to
keep from stepping through a hole
in the walk or being tripped by a
board that is loose at one end.
Such crack in the shin has been
the cause of more than one side
walk being wished an unpleasant

Are We Growing?

Newspapers throughout the

Laporte is the smallest county seat
in the Commonwealth and lay
great stress on the point that from
the year 1900 it has dropped in
population from AL to 245. This
would naturally result in a good
many people acquiring the idea
that for some reason Laporte has
been very nearly wiped off the
map, which is an error and an in
Justice to the citizens whose efforts
for the past decade have made the
village larger and more attractive
place of residence and consequent
ly@although there is no way at
present of ascertaining whether or
not the number of inhabitants
have increased or decreased-judg-
ing from general opinion, the town
is larger than ten years ago. The
fact that the tannery population
since 1900 has has been trans
ferred from the borough to the
township accounts for the great
drop in the number of residents.
OF course properly speaking, the
borough has decreased as the given
numbers show, but nevertheless
the same number of people or more
are still in Laporte or separated
separated therefrom by an imagin-
airy line dividing the borough from
the township, and it would look

whether the number of residents
in the present borough have in

His Paradise Hours.

The height of summer and dead of
winter were likely to find the cob
bier at his own cabin, in the sum-
mer because his customers were
then generally as Independent as he
was of sole leather and in the winter
because the hardships of foot travel
were too severe. Those were the
cobblers paradise hours, while he
delved and toiled as Adam did when
Eden was first forfeited to man and
man first knew the sober joys of a
home and food and a wife and child,
preserved to him by the sweat of
his brow. The primal curse of labor
never worried him; Eden was where
his humble cabin stood.
But in the summer of 1875, after a
thick letter, superscribed in the ang-
ular German style, there came to the
cabin a guest-John Kamm, straight
from the beloved fatherland, with
all its accents and its homely news.
How old John Neitengruber well
coined him! Work? Why Hannes,
there is work here, in this big
young land for every man who has
two arms. He should have work

ing faithfully at his poor trade,
bringing home all his meager earn
ings, depriving himself that his wife
might have some cheap vanities and
his boy some cheap p'ayings.
His cobbling tours lasted, some
times a whole month. He travelled
all over Sullivan county and as far
into Bradford as Canton. He was
good gossip; therefore beloved of
fireside, welcomed to lodging and a
meal, with scarcely thought of ex-
pecting him to do work in payment.
They used to regard him, to, as
something on the order of wealth
man, his advent regulating the seas
ons. When the road opened in the
spring there was Friend Veiten-
gruber, his slender kit of tools and
his modest supply of leather lugged
alone, turning up at the farm house
to make new pair for those un-
fortunates, or eXtravagant ones, who
had either worn out their boots until
human ingenuity could no more re-
pair or were so wasteful as to in
dulge in new footgear before the old
was fit only for barn door latches.
Everybody knew that summer
had come when Johns own feet
made their unashamed debut-and
that was sometimes a good deal
earlier the old time calendars set the
date But the country folk took
Johns feet for it, because many
argued that they were so close to
natures heart that their owner
certainly ought to know. Small
boys used him as their great ex-
ample in persuading reluctant moth
ers to let them go barefoot, while
colds and whooping cough still ling
cred among the dews.
Fall too was reckoned by his COM
ing; and that was the most impor-
tant trip of the year. Farmers and
their families, with snow that could
drift yards in depths and temperat-
ures that ranged around zero, had to
have sound well.soled boots and
shoes. Many time Veitengruber
trudged barefoot into the farmyard
whose owner was wearing heavy
heavy-knit wooden socks inside his
cOwhide boots. His welcome was
heartiest when the snow began to
fly, for he was the mainstay of all
who could not afford to make a
special trip to town for their re-
pairs and had let the whole supply
of foot wear run down to the ragged
edges.
