PUNISHMENT STILL
10 PRE- VENT CRIME
Is Necessary Declares Wick
ersham before the Prison
Congress.


OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 1s.-.In the bat.
tie of economic forces of supremacy
the law must be obeyed, even though
it seems to favor one class as against
another. This view was expressed b.
Attorney General wickersham in a
speech before the American Prison
Associa ton here.
Punishment in some form, declared
the attorney general, is still nee
essary to prevent crime. This is es-
pecially the case" he added, in e
community and at time, when div
ers economic forces are struggling
with each other for the mastery in
the state, and where laws are enacted
through the influence of one class or
classes to control the action of
another class or classes who arc
unwilling to accept them as rules Of
action-because unconyinced of the
wisdom or justice Of the legislative
policy which they embody. Yet 3
consideration of the nature of social
organization will demonstrate the
absolute necessity of all classes of
society conforming to requirements
prescribed by the duly constituted
authorities-howeyer wise or unwise
those regulations may appear TO those
whose conduct is sought to be con-
trolled by them. But within its
constitutional scope, the acts OF the
legislature stand until repealed as
the mandate of organized society, and
the continued effectiveness of organ
lied society requires that obedience
to such laws be compelled.
The attorney general lengthily dis
cussed the broad question of punish
meat for crime and the administration
of the federal parole law.
Modern penal legislation, he said,
is based on recognition of the ex-
pediency of endeavoring to reform
the criminal. and SO great a stress
has been laid on that feature in deaf
ing with criminals. that I'VE some
times forget that in order that pun
ishment may act as a deterrent upon
others 1t must appear as a badge Of
disgrace, and not simply the bestowal
of benevolence."
Mr.. Wickersham favored the extern
sion of the parole law to include life
prisoners. He regarded 1t as an in
congruity that prisoners sentenced to
long terms for vicious crimes should
be eligible for parole. when the man
convicted of second degree murder
must remain in prison for life.

Another Emporium Boy Makes
Good.

The PRESS 'points with pride' to the
numerous Emporium boys, boys who
have grubbed and worked their way
up life's ladder without the aid of the
golden spoSn or wealth behind them;
boys who have been industrious, sober
and honest The world ia on the watch
young men of good habits and who
are not afraid to hustle. The follow
ing from the Harrisburg Independent
speaks of Frank r. Downey, son of
our respected citizens, Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel Downey, which we all heartily
endorse:
From away up along the Philadel-
phia and Erie railroad, in the little
town of Emporium that nestles among
the mountains, came Frank'R Downey,
the manager for the Gately & Fitzger-
aid Supply Company, 81 South Second
street. He brought with him busi-
ness capacity and knowledge of affairs
that soon put him to the front in
Harrisburg, and there he is at present.
Mr.. Downey was educated in EN-
porium, but he got more schooling in
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1911-02-23

the school of hard knocks than he did
in the institutions where you learn
readin', writin', and 'rithmetic, and
that was the making ofthe young man.
AS a boy he went to work with
Gately & Fitzgerald in Emporium as
canvasser, and in 1886 he was placed
in charge of their leases. Gradually
becoming one of the indispensables in
big firm he was sent to Harrisburg
in 1903 as the manager of the company
in this city, and he has been here ever
since.
In 1908 the company was incorpo-
rated, with Mr.. Downey as the manag-
ing head, and he has conducted a most
successful business. His business-like
manner, and his qualifications for his
position have made him man to be
looked up to by the public, while his
genial manners and his 'smile that
won't come Off have gained for him
many friends in all sections. Among
travelling men he numbers his friends
by the scores, and they all make it a
point to drop in and see Downey''
when they come to Harrisburg.
Mr.. Downey believes in Harrisburg
as progressive city, and is doing his
share to boom along the Greater Har.
risburg in which he has so much inter
est. In the few years of his residence
in this city he has proved himself a
man of the highest business integrity
and possessed of the highest traits OF
citizenship. Among his other accom-
plishments he is an expert ad. writer
and all his firms local advertising is
fresh from his pen.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
Allen Russell Home on the Portage
in Ashes.


On Tuesday, about 1:20 p. M, fire
was discovered in the second story of
the late Allen Russell home, located on
the Portage, about one mile from EN-
porium. The house was occupied by
Mrs. Russell and Mr.. and Mrs. Arch
Andrews. While Mr.. Andrews made
every effort to save the furniture, his
plucky wife mounted her horse and
speeded to town for assistance, giving
the alarm as she fairly flew up~town,
riding upon the Warner House veranda,
calling to those on the inside for as
sistance. In few minutes couple of
sled loads of men with ladders and the
Citizens Hose Company hastened to
the scene, but were unable to do any
thing, there being no water line. The
house burned like tinder and was soon
in ashes.
A portion Of the furniture was
saved but large quantity of the furni-
ture, piano, all carpets, etc., were de-
stroyed. The flames spread to the ice
house and burned it to the ground.
The wind changed thereby saving the
large BARN The property was partial
ly insured in the farmers Alliance.
The family were taken to Mr.. Adam
Nlckler's until other arrangements can
can be made. Mrs. Russell, who is in
feeble condition, is under the care of
DR.. Bush.
Mr.. Andrews entered the room in
which the fire started, after some
jewelry belonging to his wife, when
the floor gave way, throwing him to
the first floor, followed by dresser and
other furniture. He secured his wife's
diamond ring and watch and luckily
escayed serious injury, his hair being
singed and shaken up little.
The action of Mrs. Andrews in her
effort in trying to secure help to fight
the flames was heroic. When she saw
the danger she did not wait to put on
hat or coat, just mounted her horse
and, in genuine Paul Revere style,
dashed for aid. After giving the alarm
she started for home, when Cash
Henry, the obliging City Hotel clerk,
noted her dangerous condition placed
his overcoat on her, when down Fourth
street she dashed for home. Just as
she reached the Eagle Hotel her saddle
turned throwing her in the road. She
pulled the saddle from the horse and
mounted the horse's bare back and
dashed for the farm. Asshe approach
ed home she noted the doom of her old
home, when she tainted, falling from
her horse.
Thus passes one of the old land
marks of this section. The house was
erected by the late S. S. Hackett in the
early 60's, was purchased by Allen Rus
sell in 1864 and was occupied by his
family all these years. We are inform
ed it will be rebuilt

year. Of the various weeklies comm g
to this Office, the PRESS stands promi-
nent among those whose apparent
aim it is to give the news of the day
correctly, impartially and without re-
course to sensational methods to dis
tort real facts. The local columns of
the PRESS are filled with concise re-
ports of Cameron county happenings
and although republican in policy, the
political convictions of its readers of
other political affiliations are duly re-
spected. We wish the PRESS many
more years of prosperity and public
usefulness. Lock Haven Daily Ex-

ing the Port boys by score of29 to l9
The game was full of interest from
start to finish. Our boys speak very
highly of the entertainment they re-
ceived at the hands of their hosts,
dance having been given in their
honor after the game. The treasury OF
the High School Athletic Association
is empty and a large sum of money
was needed for the last game of basket
ball that was played here, the expenses
of the evening being over $500, while
the receipts at the door amounted to
about $500 The High School boys
should be encouraged by better turn
out of the people to witness the games
Athletics are encouraged in other
towns, why not in Emporium, where
they have the finest material to work
with?

EMPORIUM. PA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1911
Egg and Poultry Business.

Quite number of the Pennsy rail
road men are making preparations to
embark in the poultry business this
season and already the majority of
them are building their nests, coops,
etc., in order to be ready when the well
come days of spring arrive. Among
those interested are Thomas Law,
Theodore Newton, E. s. Randolph,
A. E. Andrews, John H. Beck, M. E.
Confer and J. F. Sullivan. Mr.. Beck
has already collected fine flock and
has eggs for the. market all the time
now. One unfortunate incident hap
pened last week that has made Mr..
Beck little more careful in selecting
chickens for eating purposes. Having
occasion to kill a chicken for dinner,
ne selected and killed white leghorn
hen of common size and upon dressing
the fowl found one egg of the enorm-
GUS dimensions of eight and one-half
by seven and one-fourth inches-with
a perfect shell on it. Besides this were
found nine eggs of a normal size and
the shells of forty other eggs of various
sizes. To say Mr.. Beck was surprised
and sorry for killing this hen would
be putting it mildly. He could not be
hired to kill another chicken under
any circumstances whatever. AS Mr..
Beck is a man of unquestioned verac-
ity and besides this our genial cigar
manufacturer Mr.. John Kohler saw the
hen and eggs we have no reason to
question the truth of this article and
all agree that it was very wonderful
state of affairs.
Hickory" Ness has composed few
verses on the matter which he herewith
submits for our readers:
A jolly railroader named Beck
One day took hen by the neck;
Said he, will skin h her and cook her for dinner,
And call in John Kohler, "By Heck"
When the hen he then started to dress,
He jumped with SURPRISE confess,
For he found such an egg, as big as keg,
And 1t weighed half a ton more or less.
And smaller ones, there were few,
There were all of a bushel or two,
Johns heart it was sad and he felt very bad
And gave way to fit of the blues
So take warning from this little page,
While fresh eggs are now all the rage,
Don't eat up your chickens or yourself you'll be
kicking,
Just let them die of old age.

Passed the Examination.


The many readers of the PRESS will
be pleased that Joe T. McNarney, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. McNarney
respected residents of this place, who
was nominated for West Point Mill
tary Academy by Congressman Chas. F.
Barclay, passed successfully the Exam
lining Board ordeal, held at Port
Slocum, N. Y, Jan. 10th. The young
man will enter West Point Military
Academy June 14th next for a four
years course, when he no doubt will
graduate as Second Lieutenant The
young man is to be congratulated up
on having successfully passed, the
ordeal being one that required long
study and close application to business.
A young man of exemplary character,
reliable and close student, we do not
fear but that he will be an apt scholar
and cadet and an honor to Uncle Sam,
with whom he casts his fortune. Being
the first West Point appointment ever
given to Cameron county we are all
proud, knowing full we'll that Joe Nc
Narney will make good; he being the
second member of the McNarney
family to enter Uncle Sans service.
The PRESS congratulates Cadet Nc
Narney and express the hope that we
may be here to welcome Lieutenant
McNarney.

John w. Vogel's Big City Minstrels

John W. Vogel's Big City Mlnstrels.
An occasional visit of minstrel
show is good thing for the theatre
goer. Wearied by continuous course
of problem plays, lurid melodramas
and musical comedies, the stately pres
ence and sparkling conversation of the
interlocutor appeals restfully to him,
while the familiar guilds of the end
men are hailed as old friends returning
from long journer, and it is all very
lovely. This statement is especially
true of as good minstrel show as
John w. Vogeps Big City Minstrels
are presenting, which comes to the
Emporium Opera House, Friday even
ing, Feb. oath. There is just enough
newness about it to please, and just
enough of the old-time flavor to re
lieve it from any charge of iconoclasm.
And the fact that the past twelve years
demonstrated enthusiastic approval of
every item of the bill, would indicate
that John w. Vogeps aggregation has
made good.
