their names are on the opposition party

The republican candidates are perfectly
willing to stand or fall by the record
they have made but are not willing to

No Deputy Hire.

The Enterprise says we misrepresent
the facts when we say that county com
missioners cannot escape the duty Of
allowing deputy hire when there isneed
for a deputy and the office earns enough
to pay n deputy. The legal adviser Of
that paper knew very well when he
made this charge that It was not correct
He claims that the allowance Of deputy
hire Is discretionary with the commits.
sioncrs. That is true only to u certain
extent but would not apply to the con-
ditions in our statement. When there
is need for n deputy and money earned
to pay a deputy. then the discretion OF
the commissioner ends and he il In duty
bound by law TO allow deputy hire and
the courts would so hold. To place any
other construction upon the law would
make Il unsafe for a man To be can
didatc for clerk or treasurer In any
county.
Here Is the position this mo deputy

Judge H. P. Burke.

Judge II. P. Burke studied law with
one of the best known lawyers of Iowa,
Teaching school to pay his expenses, and
was admitted to the bar at the age of
81, coming 10 Sterling, Colo, the fol
lowing year with cash capital of 81. so
was soon appointed clerk of district
court which office he held for two years
when he resigned and took up the prac-
tice Of law and, in 1906 was nominated
for judge of the district, carried every
county in the district having a majority
Of 400.
During the past six years Judge
Burke has disposed of a largely increas
ed amount of business before court in
our county and has kept the business
disposed Of up TO date.
During this time there has been about
one thousand cases appealed to the
higher courts from the decisions of the
different district courts and there is but
one judge in the state who can show

During the five years that Judge Burke

Now. what are we confronted with in
this campaign? The d,mocratic party
has repudated its responsibility for the
enactment Of the salary law FOR clerk
and treasurer and says there shall be
no deputy hire allowed in this county
for the next four years, II they can c.
lect their candidates. That the man
who is elected to one Of these Offices
must either work for half pay or work
double time.
You are responsible for making the
law and are you going to be so niggard-
ly in your treatment Of the candidates
for these offices as to say. by adopting
this democratic policy. ''the law is ours
and is just and reasonable but we have
discovered a bunch Of politicians who
have some secret scheme for
paying for deputies without taking il
out Of the fee fund and. II you are not
onto this secret scheme. and are fortu-
nate enough TO be elected, you win be
forced to perform the work Of the office
for half Of what we have said by the
law was reasonable pay" The voters
Of the county cannot afford to take such
an unreasonable position.
When we are oiTcrorcd something Of
apparent value for nothing. we are al
ways suspicious and when II is offered
for half price" we very naturally
wonder II there Il not a eolored gentle

Are Shooting Dogs.

Now that the deer season has
closed, some of the Franklin coun
ty hunting clubs are turning their
attention to another form of
hunting in which there is not on
ly the element of sport, but it af-
fords an opportunity for the
working off Of pent up revenge
on deer killing CANNES. 1t seems
that any one may safely kill dogs
found trailing deer, since no own
er of such dog would dare expose
bimself to his own prosecution by
bringing suit for the killing of
his dog. Porter Kegarice, born
near the Club house on Sideling
Hill, but now living at Walnut
Bottom, Cumberland county, Pa.
is an inveterate enemy of deer
killing dogs, and he told a men,
ber of the NEWS staff a few years
ago that if he had the choice of
shooting deer or the dog that
was chasing it, he would aim at
the dog every time.
During the deer season, dog
owned by George Reed, of Fort
Loudon, was seen chasing deer
and it was shot by hunters.
George was arrested and fined
S25 and costs by Magistrate Orr,
Of Chambersburg, for permitting
his dog to run deer. Reed has
the case, but as the law
is very plain concerning dogs, we
do not see how he can win out if
witnesses prove that his dog
trailed a deer.

Free Lantern Slides.

In view of the destruction of
our forests, and to educate the
young as to the necessity of their
taking up the work of restoring
forests, the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum sends US the fol-
lowing notice:
The Commercial Museum, al
ways interested in spreading help
full knowledge, has prepared a
lecture on the Lumber Industry,
which describes one of our States
greatest resources. There are
beautiful colored lantern slides
which show numbering operations
in great detail. In this lecture
one may see the telling Of trees,
the carrying of logs to the mill,
the saving into boards and all
the details of the lumber busi-
ness. Then there are pictures of
forest fires and the reforestation.
Part of the lecture deals with the
lumber camps of the South and
West and with the forests of 9TH
er parts of the world.
This series of beautiful slides
with descriptive reading matter
may be borrowed, without cost
from the Commercial Museum,
Philadelphia, by any public school
teacher. A stereopticon and a
screen are also loaned by the Mu-
scum if desired. This subject of
forestry is very timely because
of the many accounts of forest
fires which have been raging in
Pennsylvania and other parts of
the United States.

Philadelphia Record.

Every mans vision is as broad
as that of the newspaper he
reads. The country newspaper,
if he lives in the country, is in
dispensable to give him a clear
view of his immediate surround

its equally indispensable compile
ment. No man can be well post
ed nowadays unless he keeps an
eye on what the whole world is
doing. Therefore he needs bi-fo-

for the big world beyond its
sphere of service.
The Philadelphia Record is a
world newspaper. Its service ex
tends to every quarter of the
globe. Its representatives are in
every foreign capital; its live
wires connect with every city,
town and hamlet in forty-eight
states. Its business is to gather
in the worlds history day by day
to sift it, discarding the chaff; to
boil down and condense the resi-

worth while, in space proportion

shape that intelligent people will

both, from reading it.
The Philadelphia Record is a

War Feeling.

Good christians they are doubt
less, those English and Germans
and French. Estimable and low
able people, many of them are.
But a German torpedo sent to
the bottom three or four English
ships with thousands of men and
all Germany exults in their dread
full deaths.
A British warship sinks a like
number of German boats with a
like number of men, the flower
of their race, and all over Eng
land arise shouts of jubilation.
What has changed the natures
of these good peoples? No pity
for the brave men who were de-
voted to death in the waves?
Men whom they never saw, VINO
had never done them a conscious
injury, whose lives were blotted
out in the wintry seas and whose
bodies were given to be food for
fishes. Men whom, their religion
teaches them, were made in the
image of God and whose bodies
were temples OF the Holy Ghost,
these men were destroyed and
great nations rejoice.
Should we gather from these
facts that war is the glorious and
benefcent thing that some would
have us believe, or should we not
rather be led to reason that it is
foul thing bred in hell itself
and itself the parent OF every
loathsome instinct that befouls
the human breast?-Valley Spirit

Rev. Regwyck w. Bidwell, a
Methodist minister, died in Mid

aged los years. Five years ago
he celebrated his Tooth birthday
by preaching a sermon in the vii
lage church.
Attention is directed to the ad-
vertisement of Shapiro Bros, at

Our readers are cautioned to be
on the lookout for impostors So
liciting funds or contributions of
any kind for the European war
victims or for the needy or suf-
fering at home. A number of
our exchanges publish accounts
of how these impostors have been
imposing on the people in differ
ent places.
There is a whale of a discus
sion going on just now as to
whether this country has a suffi-
cient nua bor of big fighting ships
and enough 1GO0-caliber pocket
pistols to defend our coasts in
case of an attack by some effer-
vescing foreign nation. If this
chin music has anything to do
with the present high price of
buckwheat flour, we wish itwould
be cut out.
Neighbors will regret to learn
that Mr.. A. j. Martin of the
Cove was obliged to kill the beau
tiful colt that was injured while
at play in the pasture over year
ago. Two colts were injured at
the time of the accident, and one
was killed next day. 1t was
thought that one could be saved;
but skilled veterinarians failed
to adjust the dislocated joints,
and Mr.. Martin reluctantly caus-
ed it to be killed last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Mickey and
children Janet and Hoyt, of Le-
moyne, Pa, visited in the home
of Mrs. Mickey's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. George w. Glenn, near
Webster Mills. They were ac-
companied by Miss Elizabeth
Mickey, of Chambersburg, and
all had a very pleasant visit.
They returned to their respective
homes on Thursday of last week.
Mr.. Mickey is a Cumberland Val
ley Railroad passenger conductor.
1t is true that the destruction
of foreign industries has turned
European buyers attention to
American resources, until the de-
mand for some kinds of Ameri-
can-made goods is greater than
the supply. However, we advise
that our young men stick to the
old farm instead of rushing off
in the direction of factories re-
ceiving these big orders, in the
hope of getting employment at
big wages. 1t will only end in
the usual disappointment. EN-
ployees of less fortunate factories
will soon fill up the ranks in the
others.
