Following the regular program will

cause smile among those of US who
have outgrown our youth, to the
teacher IL is q very living and vital
fact. The laws of the juvenile world
include good many things that in.

inR the cardinal principle that a
"snitcher" Or informer is sneak,
that the newcomer into q territory

prove his mettle and that violations
nf school laws must be kept sacred,
though they involve serious invasion
Of personal or community rights.
The most important Flaw Of Boy.
Vile" Ia that the teacher or other
person In authority Is to be treated as

tive and natural survival of the pre-
historic days when the Survival OF

life has pretty we'll done away with
this fantasm, but we are sometimes
startled to observe how strongly the
idea still turks In the minds Of the
rising generation without any out.

The consideration of this subject by
the members of the institute will
doubtless prove very interesting.

Idcnt that he would not make any Alaska appointments without the approval of the governor.
 That President Taft has kept this promise indicates the pass ing of the power of the national committeeman as a figure in po- litical Alaska.

HANFoRD'S RECALL.

The end of Judge lTanfurd's ca r"rr. sad as 1t is, can result but in good to the country at large. The outraged cry of the people has at last brought Us face to face with a Nrnal, corrupt and besottrd judge, who, when con- NInccd of his ultimate conviction, resigns rather than face the fate he so richly deserved. It has Justified the popular demand for th" recall of inc Judiciary, for il k certain had Judge IIanfurtl kuuwn that he was subject to the recall he would either have re- signed years ago or else have run on lines totally different from Ihus" hr has so braZruIy and ar ru"anlly followed. Ii iS a sad spectacle |" see q man who has long passed inc meridian of life. who has occupied a high and re- SpnnSiblc position, compelled lu step down and out in disgrace.
 II lluS Ijttn Sult III 'ACuSt lDI Judge ilanfurd that hr was not Vrnal in a money sense, by which Wc presume ii is meant he was not in the habit of auctioninG off his decisions. This We will be willing tO grant him. At the best it would be a difficult charge to prove. inasmuch as but few men enter into such combinations in inc presence of witnesses.
 But We do know the trend of Judge llanfnrd'S decisions favor rd the rich and powerful. II is an open and notorious fact that a certain clique of attorneys were made wealthy by reason nf Judge l1anfOrd'S decisions. That all the corporation business of that sec lion of the country fell into the hands of those lawyers because these rich clients knew their cases were as good as won when placed in tn" hands of in" friends of the court. II k such judges as Cor n"liuS II. IIanfnrd, and such law yrrS as hav" fIockrd about him who hay" brought contempt and cnnium"ly upon both bench and bar.
 Unfortunately. the forced rrS- ignaiion of Judge ITanfnrd does mol clear the atmosphere. If the stories publicly fold are only par iially true. there are others who should go the way of Judge Han ford.

pays Compliment To Bryan.


The American Issue, official organ Of
the Anti-Saloon League. in commenting
on the part played BY the whiskey ring
| 10 the National Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, pays high tribute to Bryan
in his fight for the people. The follow
ing is an extract from the article in
/ the Issue:
"The recent Democratic national con-
vention held in Baltimore has brought
striking confirmation of the fact that the
fight against the Iiqnor traffic is usually
identical with the general fight for. good
government. The contest was TO prevent
the nomination Of man controlled by
the Interests aud the man who re-
ceived this support from the selfish inter-
ests generally also had the backing of
special interests.
I'm our Judgment no unbiased man.
whatever his politics and whatever his
personal opinion of Mr.. Bryan could
question that Mr.. Bryan was making a
eight for the people-that is the rank and
file Of his party against those who are
trying TO steal the party's machinery in
order to betray the people. The case
was absolutely parallel to the fight
which the League has had TO make in
Maryland among other states against the
liquor interests who are trying to use the
machinery of the party 10 serve the
special interests of the liquor traffic as
against the right of the people to vote on
the liquor question.
"Mr. Bryan cried aloud and spared not.
He called names. He was run over and
got up and brushed off the dust aud
"came back By his resolution he put
his opponents into position where any
thing they did was mistake, but pri-
marily be compelled them to come out
into the open and made them perform in
full view of the public where the people
could see the evidence as ii happened so
that it would not be necessary for him to
assume any burden Of proof later on
The distinguished gentlemen whose
plans were being interfered With yelled
"bloody murder. =" To say that they
denounced Mr.. Bryan is TO unders,ate the
truth. They questioned both his present
and his past Democracy They imputed
to him selfish purposes for the future.
They accused him of being a political
disturber for the money be got out of it.
They said about him everything that
|superheated gentlemen bursting with
wrath and devoid of originality could
think of, but he went straight ahead.
And today if the Democratic party has
any chance of winning the presidential
election, and most Of its newspaper ex-
ponents seem to believe il has, that fact
is due almost entirely to William Jer-
nings Bryan.
ut will be found that most of the dele
cations that were most bitter against him
came from liquor strongholds. For ex-
ample, it was the Tauimany crowd Of
New York that undertook the special
mission of putting Mr.. Bryan out of BUSH
ness, aud New York is the liquor strong
hold of the Snatiou.s'

Ye hills of Cecil County,

Here man and nature meet
Thy cattle grazing DER thy hills
In freedom and content:
Thy homes, far-famed, hospitable
With health and wisdom lent
Thy sons are proud to boast of thee.
Thy daughters love thee well,
And travellers noted well thy charms
AS written word win tell.
Here fertile fields TEEN rich with grain,
Here granite cleaning, gray,
Here power from rushing waters
In coming ages may
Speed rushing trains and trolleys;
Or food with brilliont light
Thy fair and charming landscape,
Throughout the silent night.
Oh, towering hills within whose depths
We may not know today
The hidden worth Of wealth concealed;
The future years will say.
Today we honor worthy sons,
Rejoice for mothers true,
And dream of home while memories play
