Wel1sboro Girl Attacked
By Man Who Used Acid

Wellsboro, Oct. l.-An attack
on Mabel White, 20 years old, a
music teacher, Sunday morning at
her home in Jobs Corners, is agit-
ating the northern portion OF this
county.
The young woman believed her.
self to be alone in the house, when
in the upper hall some one threw
a blanket over her head and hit
her in the face, knocking her down.
Then her assailant. in attempting
to pour carbolic acid down her
throat, severely burned her neck
and chest.
Enraged by the failure of his
plans, the man who attacked her
cast her headlong down the stairs.
She was unable to see his face.
Miss Whites screams were heard
by neighbors, who aided her in
leaving the house.
When the young woman's res
cuers searched the house they
found the rooms empty. Sheets
tied together showed that the int
ruder had let himself down by a
rope, and had escaped by a rear
window
Miss White had many admirers,
one of whom, A. Austin Andrus,
it is alleged, recently threatened
her. She also has been receiving
anonymous letters.
Last week, Miss White says, she
was accosted by a strange man in
an auto. He inquired if her name
was Mabel White, and she acknow
legged it. He then handed to her
an undreSSed letter, which warned
her not to keep company with other
young men.
Andrus has been arrested and is
under bail for a hearing on Sutur-
day. The sheriff, his deputy and
the district attorney are reticent.
Miss White is in such nervous con-
dition that the hearing may have
to be postponed.

"PLAYING THE GAME"
Truly, President Taft Does Not Follow
System Politically.

That Is a criticism often heard Of
President Taft. 1t is the professional
politician usually who voices it, but
often it Is repeated by those who are
accustomed to take their estimates Of
public men and their political opinions
from others.
Playing the game has been the occu-
patton of time serving politicians from
time immemorial. Men who regard
politics as game like to see it played
deity. Other men without fixed ideas
on the subject parrot the criticism
passed by the experts.
Playing the game In politics neces.
sarily has deceit as it's fundamental
principle.
The public man who sees develop
ing an issue that might prove embar-
RAISING to him personally, and who
manages, by guile, to divert public at
tention to another, lesser, but per-
fectly safe, issue, plays the game.
The public man who makes public'
protestations of his enmity toward
swollen wealth and then holds secret
conferences with the representatives,
of that wealth, plays the game.
The public man who breaches one,
code of political morality and prac-'
tices another plays the game.
The public man who utters sounding
lightful his diction or how superb his,
eloquence, plays the game.
The public man who makes promisesl
impossible of fulfillment plays the,
game.
The public man who puts the ac-!!
quirement of public favor above ideals,
of public service plays the game.
Truly, President Taft does not know,
how to play the game.
He has been reared in an atmos-!
phere of service rather than politics, |
as we have come to know politics. The,
thing that has always concerned him]
is the doing of an act, not the spec-I
tacular staging of it, nor the exploita-j
tion of it, nor, on the contrary, theI
concealment of it.
To serve has always been his idea,
not merely to acquire the appearanceI
of serving.
IL Has peel iHlpoSSlpic loI uiLu ICI
look upon public service as a game.
The public's business, as he regards It, !
Is serious business.
There is reason for the belief that
the American people as whole shareS
with him this view. The growing in !
telligence of the nation is rejecting
the idea that the selection of their
public servants is merely 4 sportinR
proposition.

Sets Himself Af1re in Fall
Down Stairs

Sunbury, Oct. Tripping while
going down stairs at her home here
yesterday, Mrs. Mary McCon-
naughey fell head first to the bot
tom. She carried some matches in
her hands and one of these ignited
and set fire to her clothing as she
lay there unconscious.
A boarder heard her fall and
and wrapping a rug around her,
saved her life. She is seriously
burned about her face and body
and suffered broken ankle.
