NEW DATE FOR INAUGURATION.

A bill has been introduced into the House which
if passed, will fix the last Thursday in March
date for Inauguration instead of the 4h of March
date stands
This is not the first time that attempt has been
made change the time the Presidential Inaugural
ton Up to this time all such attempts have failed
mally. We agree with the Inquirer when it says:
Why there should be any opposition all is more
than understand. The really frghtful expert
ence that Washington had when Taft came into office
it presumed the time, would be sufficient bring
about the desired change. But not Congress talk
ed and hemmed and hawed and nothing was done. In
the last House more vote would have passed bill
1t could not be had
We'll, perhaps something will be done Per-
haps The only reason that have for thinking it
possible is that so important member of the House
as the chairman of the Committee Rules Mr. Henry
is the sponsor for the bill If it be taken
up seriously, the bill would through the House, at
least for these Democrats under splendid training
They do what they told.
The weather is to be depended upon, it is
true, but early March is particularly bad time the
year to hold any kind of outdoor exercises"
The Inquirer is right. The bill ought go through
and the chances of an experience such President
Taft had to undergo at the time of his Inauguration
should be reduced as far possible by the combined
efforts of the weather and the legislators.

THE PUBLICITY BILL.

The House of Representatives has passed the bill
providing for publicity of campaign contributions
fore election, instead of after election only This bill
was passed unanimously by the House. The Republi-
cans tried to extend the operation of the bill to all
penditures in connection with obtaining nominations,
at primaries and otherwise In itself this was a de-
srable measure for it is plain that there may be
ruption indirectly wrought in this much
in connection with the actual election. Indeed in
districts where nomination is equivalent an cleo
ton is in most of the Southern staes of
money at the primaries in securing a nomination is
more Objectionable than in the elections themselves.
The amendment, however, not carried
There reasons for the failure of the amend
ment to pass the House. One is that the bill is bound
to find strenuous opposition in the Senate and there
fore it would be the worst kind of policy to tack
amendments which could only excuse for
the rejection of the bill The second that
all probability the courts would sustain law
which made the amendment requirement THE law
which approved in the House relates only COM
mittees intended to influence elections of members of
Congress in two States that is, practically
the National Congressional Committees of each party.
This because in the opinion of the trainers
Congress would have jurisdiction in sgle Congress
sona districts in the districts all of which were
in single States. This being reasonable view, it is
plain that any legislation affecting expenditures for
primary elections in connection with nominations,
expenditures necessarily confined to district would
be still open to doubt in regard to its constitu-
tonaity."
AS the bill reads hope that the Senate will
not delay in passing it, 1t is good bill, it has been
carefully prepared and it has received very wide
spread publicity in itself 1t is essentially bill that
is popular to the voters because of its very nature.
That it will have an immediate and purifying eff
feet upon present day politics admits of denial 1t is
hoped that the Senate will show itself less Gag
er to bring condition pass than the has al
ready done by the passage of the Publicity Bill

figures for last year, even though
the act provides that all fees receiv-
ed shall be used upon the roads. So
also an organized fight is being made
against the bill increasing the tax
on insurance companies from two
per cent. to three per cent. on the
business done in Pennsylvania. For
eign insurance companies complain
less than the domestic, the latter say
ing that this bill would put them out
of business. Forty-four states have
what is known as reciprocal laws.
Under the terms of such laws, a
Pennsylvania company operating in
another state, say New York, is re-
quired to pay the same tax that New
York corporations are required to
pay iii Pennsylvania. 1t will thus be
seen that insurance companies char
tered in this state, and doing business
in many states having reciprocal
acts, would be so heavily taxed that
they would have to go out of busi-
ness, or run at heavy loss. A fifty
per cent. increase is going some too.
Judge Searle's Fine Record.
Judge Searle assisted the local
court this week in disposing of some
only two Judges for this county,
there is more than enough local busi-
ness to keep them busy, but they are
obliged to hear and determine all tax
cases also, and these latter are a
heavy drain on their time. Final dis
position was made of the cases heard
by Judge Searle, a condition that
has existed in most of the suits heard
before him since his appointment to
the Bench by Governor Stuart. From
his decisions there have been no ap-
peals, nor motions for new trial
showing that the disputants were en-
tirely satisfied with the way their
cases were disposed of. Judge Searle
is well known by many of the mem
bers of the Dauphin county bar and
is well liked, and they would like
him to come oftener. And this is
| true of other counties where he has
been called to bold court. His fair.
ness and evident determination to see
! justice done stamp him as a proper
man for the Bench.

When Bismarck Went Dry

Bismarck was not without supersti-
ton, and this always was noticeable
on the eve of the new year. From 9
o'clock that night until after midnight
he would not take water in any cir
cumstances from a glass. 1t was an
ancient tradition in the chancellors
family that any one who set the legend
at defiance would pass through a seri
GUS illness. If another tradition is true
the observance of the family legend
must have been a sore trouble to the
iron chancellor. for the Paris contem
porary from which we take the fore
going says that Bismarck not only
loved war. but beer and wines. espe
cially French wines. He was no,
averse TO punch and grog, but on New
Years eve grog was under the ban, for

Nor Read The Citizen.
A man in Connecticut gave a doc
tor, a specialist in catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him a bottle of
medicine and told him to use it.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on a shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later with the medi-
cine still on the shelf he told friend
that the specialist was a fake; that
he had paid him $50 and still had
catarrh.

mel won't cure catarrh if you don't

Furthermore, you don't need to
give a catarTh specialist $50 to cure

yet to be born who can write a bet

Mr.. Editor:
We would like for Uncle Joe Can
non and Uncle Dick Crocker, as they
are called in White Mills, to ex-
plain the resignation of Uncle Joe
from the Republican club. These
two old politicians have been seen
together much of their time of late
and when some one is apt to get near
them Joe talks chickens and Dick
the new brewery, but however the
voters say that they have something
up their sleeve and they demand an
explanation why Joe left the old
club. Some say that he made a
statement that the old club was get
ting corrupt and that he did not want
to be a party to it. Others say that
he is secretly organizing new club,
but it looks to us that Uncle Dick,
the Democratic boss, is switching
Uncle Joe over to that party. Will
Joe and Dick please explain through
the columns of this paper?

The statistics for 1909 tabulated, show that
the total of merchandise dsembarked at the Port of
Paris 1O,94O,525 tons whereas the Port of Mar
seiles handled only 7,SOS,793 tons. The goods dsem-
barked represented 619744 tons borne from long dis
tances against 900 shipped other ports The
balance of the total is made of local traffic and goods
in transit
The striking fact is that the merchandise received
is than two and half times that shipped away,
