LAST week the Republican boss Of
Pennsylvania, Senator Boise PenroSe,
was endorsed, and this week the Demo-
Gratis have done an equally good job in
repudiating Col. Jim Guifey, who as boss
OF that party for many years has worked
in perfect harmony with the Republican
gang.
Busting two rotten political machines
within a couple OF weeks is going some.

During the last term Of the circuit
court of Atchison county, Missouri.
the case Of II. T. Staple VS.. Charles
Traub was tried The suit was
brought on q long standing account
and among other items was sixteen
years subscription for the Atchison
County Mail. Mr. Traub refused to
pay for The Mail, claiming that he
did not take the paper, and that he
had refused to take the paper from
the postoffice and mail box a number
of times. The plaintiff proved by
postmasters, deputy postmasters and
others that Mr.. Traub did take the
paper during ali the sixteen years.
In the case it was shown that ac-
cording to law, even if a subscriber
does occasionally order q newspaper
discontinued or refuse to accept it.
he cannot get out of paying what
he owes for the paper, and the sub
scriber must pay arrearage before
stopping the paper.
The jury in the case was Out only
a short time and brought in YER
dict for the entire account, includ-
ing the subscription for The Mail
sixteen years at 81 so year, or S24
The cost in the justice court and the
circuit court amounted to about S1O0
besides the attorney fees.
A similar case has been decided by
the court of appeals ard it was held
in tha5- ease that any one taking a
newspaper must pay for it as long as
they take it from the postoffice.-
