THE Democrats placing the blame for
poor times upon the European war is
quite as ridiculous as the Progressiyes
placing the blame for poor roads upon
the Republicans, says the Derrick.
Every intelligent voter knows that the
Democrats could have saved the country
from poor times, and that the response
bility for the bad condition OF State high
ways lies at the door of the two fiscal
officers at Harrisburg elected as pro-
gressives, who persistintly held up the
state appropriations.

A MAN who is a man will not stand TO
have personal social friend abused even
in private life. Ifhe is a man he will de-
fend that friend. Then why is it that some
newspapers will sell their columns to
political enemies to be used to abuse and
vilify ones political friends? ?-Tidioute
News. Well that's the heck of it. In
these latter days it would seem all these
things shall come to pass, when liars,
political cut-throats and bribe-tskers
seem to have the call and are extolled
above the decent class.
