measure. rest the destiny of the liti-
cation of our county, wherein il is con
cerned as plaintiff or defendant | do
not believe in the prosecution of cases
without merit, and shall therefore en-
deavor to prosecute those cases which
are meritorious, for | sm firmly con-
vinced that undue anc unwarranted
prosecution becomes persecution.
In the performance of my official
duty | may be called upon to prosecute
some of my best friends, but | trust
that you will consider the position
which occupy and will understand that

BEN. FRANKLIN ENDEARED
HIMSELF TO THE SCOTCH

Benjamin Franklin, the first Ameri-
can philosopher and the first Ameri-
can diplomat. was not as Mark
Twain averred twins, born stimuli
taneously at Boston and Philadel-
phia,' but as the change in the calen-
dar from old style to new came after
his birth at Boston on January 6,
1905, according to the reformed alma
nae he was born on January II. In
1859 Franklin was in England as
agent for the colony of Pennsylvania.
Previous to this, though little known,
1T was mainly by the advice of
Franklin that the English govern
ment resolved to conquer Canada,
and for that purpose sent out Wolfe's
expedition. 1t was in 1859 that Frank
lin made a journey from London TO
Scotland of which. in letter written
to Scotch friend, he used these
words, which have ever endeared him
to the Scot: II think the time we
spent there was six weeks of the
densest happiness | have ever met
with in any part of my life, and the
agreeable and instructive society we
found there in such plenty has left
so pleasing an impression on my
memory that, did not strong connec-
tons draw me elsewhere, ! believe
Scotland would be the country

of my days in"
