We have the names of at least three
critters in this town who are hankering
for our job as postmaster and are wait

with the job and intend to hold on to it,
and il there is anybody in this territory
who can beat us at pulling wires and
mending fences we will doff our hat to
him when he has us on our balk.
We made a holy show of ourself on
Apache avenue the other day when n
stranger got the drop on us and held a
revolver to our ear. Yes; we knelt down
as he commanded. and We repeated the
apology he so kindly wordcd for us. and
we expect to lose fifty subscribers by it.
However, We had rather be live editor
than a dead idiot. When a man who
means shoot gets the drop on us, we
are his mutton for the time being and
don't propose being laid in our own
graveyard.
The editor of Pine Hill Recorder at
tempted to shoot dog the other day and
fired a bullet into his own foot. We had
been advising him for the last five years
to carry a stone in stocking instead of
a gun, and he now probably wishes he
had taken our advice.

I'e. y. NJ. to open palace of poker and
drinks We have found him square
man on the deal and a Connoisseur on

He is something of a liar and knows very
little abo;t a gun. but these are faults
which can be overlooked in almost any
community.
We understand that Lawyer Moss is
telling different parties around town that
we threatened his life last Monday. What
We did was TO visit his Office and hold
a gun on his chin and warn him not to
pester us with any more libel suits. but
no threats We're made. Indeed, he cavsd

Editorial

CONGRESSMAN BAILY, of the Johnstown Demo
crat lengthy editorials in his paper of Tuesday al
most his hair in mad despair to think the United
States government is at last waking up to the fact
that this nation is sadly in need of proper defense
for repelIing invading force and is taking proper
steps to remedy the inadequacy.
He takes as a criterion, the depleted finances of
the victor-whoever he may be-and the hatred of
the warng nations lying dormant through future
generations and says the departure of armada for
invasion of this country, would be signal for
certed action in Europe against that country.
SO! Mr.. Bay forgets his history. He forgets
Alexander the Great; he forgets Caesar; he forges
Napoeon-and he forgets the secedeing South which
preceded own civil war, when the nearly disrupt
ed nation asleep and unprepared even the united
country is now waited for the rattle of musketry in
the streets of Baltimore and the of Sumters guns
to awaken her. He forgets the avarice and blood
lust of a conquercr and-he forgets the European

BARBER AND FARMER
DO GREAT TEAM WORK
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

City men are not the only ones who
are interested in suffrage. Miss Liliane
Howard, one Of the State suffrage or.
ganizers, has been touring the farming
districts recently and this is what she
says Of her experiences:
"The interest among the farmers is
very encouraging. We have been hold.
ing five or six meetings a day The
men left their work in the fields and
the women their homes and came to
the meetings no matter how distant
they were Sometimes they had to
walk and carry the babies but that did
not stop them.
"At Calvin, in Huntingdon County,
the men were out repairing tele-
phone line and could not come to the
meeting. They begged us to come TO
where they were working. When we
got there every one of them stood and
listened to every word of our speeches
even though it rained part of the time
"At another town man was having
his hair cut when we arrived. When
he heard the speeches%outside of the
barber shop he made the barber move
his chair out on the street and both Of
them listened attentively to the
speeches while the haircut was being
finished"

THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.
IL Had Short Life In What 10 Now
Eastern Tennessee.

IL Had a Short Life In What 10 Now
Eastern Tennessee.
In 1874 North Carolina, growing i'm
patient of the burden that her western
settlements had imposed upon her
treasury and irritated by the corn
plants Of the people Of those sections.
passed an act conveying to the federal
government all the lands that now con-
stitute the state OF Tennessee.
The people Of the country that Is
now eastern Tennessee. feeling them
selves left without government.
made haste to organize themselves into
an Independent commonwealth. which
they called, as a tribute to the Illus
trious philosopher, the state Of Frank
lin. These people applied for admis-
sion into the Union; but. the federal
government being slow and unwilling
to act and North Carolina having re-
pealed the act of cession Of her west
ern province to the Union, the state Of
Franklin came into very troubled wa
ters for some years.
Some efforts were made to persuade
the Kentuckians to join themselves to
the state of Franklin, a provision hav-
ing been made for such cooperation In
the constitution of the experiment. but
they came to nothing. The new state
gradually fell to pieces, and in 1877 its
brilliant and able governor, John Sc
vier. was put on trial for high treason.
He was released by a daring rescue

ed in name to the leadership, which he
never lost in the affections Of his peo-
pie. In 17S7 the last legislature Of the
state Of Franklin held it's session at

Colorado Executive, Speaking
at Kane, Says Women of
His State Have Made
Good as Voters
DO NOT NEGLECT THE HOME
Nor Have They Lost Their
WomanIy Charm BY Voting
Against Its Enemies.

Governor George A. Carlson, of Col
orado, a State where women. have
voted for the past twenty-five years
made strong appeal to the men OF
Pennsylvania to vote for woman suf
frage this November in an address he
delivered on July 13 last, at the Swed
ish Lutheran Church at Kane, Pa. He
said:
Don't let people tell you that the
mothers of your children will prove
incapable, or become coarse, cold or
neglectful in the home if given the
ballot; those who for nearly a quarter
of century have actually observed
the enfranchlsed woman at work know
that she can sense the enemy Of the
home more quickly and will fight him
with more telling effect than the hus.
band, and while preserving all her nat.
ural feminine charm and sweetness,
she will become even more devoted to
the man who has allowed her ampler
means and fuller power for the protec.
ton of their common fireside.
"The State in safeguarding and pre-
serving the health and morals of the
young is but doing mothers work
I'VE need the blending of the mother
heart and the masculine Judgment and
will to sustain and guard our homes"

TR0USER MAKERS STRIKE
Ten Thousand Men Walk Out In New
York City.

New York, July 13.-Ten thousand
men who make trousers are on strike
acre. According to an official of the
Amalgamated Garment Workers Of
America this means a reduction in the
output of 100000 pairs of trousers a
day.
The troubles of the Pantmakers are
entirely separate from those of the In
ternational Garment Workers union.
If the threatened strike of operatives
in the latte! organization develops :
dearth OF W0nen's clothes viii result,
but both employers and employees are
hopeful that this will be averted.
Much confidence is placed in the
mayors Cancellation board, which is in
session today.
There is less optimism among the
manufacturers of mems garments and
the operatives. There seemed pros
poets that within a few days the strike
may spread to all workers of mems
clothes and even invade, though not
to a great extent, the realm of work
ers Of women's clothing. In that case
approximately $4,000 persons would
be affected.

HE CAME FROM MISSOURI,

the fact that women now vote in
twelve States in none Of which have

GERARD SIGNED Will SON NOTE
Berlin Papers Disclose Fact, Which
Causes Comment

New York, July 13.-Copies of Ger
man newspapers which have reached
New York disclose the interesting fact
that the second Lusitania note sent
by President Wilson to the Berlin gov
ernment was signed by the American
ambassador in Berlin, James w. Ge
rard. This shows that the American
notes thus are handed to the Berlin
foreign office by the American repre-
sentative in the German capital.
1t is recalled in contrast with this
that the German reply to President
Wilson's note was signed, as all
previous ones, by Herr Won Jagow, the
German minister Of foreign affairs,
and that they were not sent through
the German embassy at Washington.
This gives rise to speculation as to
whether the German ambassador,
Count Won Bernstorff, is being inten-
tionally ignored, either tg request
from Washington, or upon the de-
cision of Wilhelmstrasse itself.

Two Large Concerns Will Begin

TWO Large concerns VIII be9in
Building Undersea Craft.
Washington, July 13. Formal
notice has been received by the secre.
tary of the navy that the New York
Shipbuilding company and the New
port Shipbuilding company, two of the
largest concerns of the kind in the
United States, are about to go into the
business of constructing submarines.
The news aroused great. interest
among naval officials because it prob
ably means broader developments in
this type of war vessels. At present
there are only two submarine build
ing companies in this country. That
there is room for more is indicated
by an apparent determination on the
part of the present administration for
the department to ask congress to
greatly enlarge the submarine f1otillas
of the, American navy.
