The Appellate Judgeship.

The method of electing our
Judges by a vote of the people,
is in keeping with the best rep
preventative form of government.
The people have right to speak
their sentiments. This the vot-
ers of the Seventh Appellate Dis
trict will do at the polls, by their
votes, on August 9Th.
Although this District is norm
ally Republican 10y more than ten
thousand. our present Judge from
this District. of that high Court
is a Democrat. All seven of the
Judges on the Appellate Bench
of the State Of Kentucky are
Democrats. 1t is true some Of
the Districts are overwhelmingly
Democratic; that is not true,
however, of the Seventh. 1t is
Republican. The Republican vot-
ers ought oselect for their stand
ard bearer. next August. a man
who is & winner.
This paper favors the nomina-
ton of Elem u. Sampson. We
believe he is the man best fitted
among the candidates offering
for the place, and he has always
been a winner in the races he has
heretofore run. In this race his
home people and the people Of
his Circuit Court District are al
most solidiy for him. Judge
Sampson is the recognized friend
Of labor; the working people who
know him are lining up strong
behind his candidacy. H e is
thorough honest and the peo-
pie have learned to trust him.
He possesses an abundance of in
tellectual strength and moral
courage with which TO etfectuate
his convictions. His friends and
party associates can depend upon
him implicitly, to champion the
cause which is right. He is a
good campaigner, a forceful and
logical speaker and a game fight
er. He is going after this NOM
ination with his usual vim and
vigor, making his claims upon
his own merits. That he is en-
inently qualified to fill the office
of Appellate Judge goes undis-
puted by any one, and his friends
are confident he will win the
nomination.

Deaths.

Last Friday morning at the
residence of his father on Main
street, Alex Black Miller breath
ed his last and his spirit sped
to relms beyond.
Mr.. Miller was % years old,
He had suffered for a long time
with that dreaded disease tu-
berculosis. He was the son of
l.. c. and Ellen Black Miller. His
funeral was held at the residence
on Main street last Sunday, con-
Quoted by Rev. Z. r. Overly, of
Covington, assisted by Rev. S. F.
Kelley of this city. His remains
were inferred in the City Gene
tary surrounded by a host of rela-
tives and friends. Sunday even
ing at 4 O'Clock. Before his
death he was making his pre-
perations for the long journey
which he was sure that he would
soon have to make, and even
selected his own pall-bearers,
and made other arrangements.
Alex as he was commonly call
ed was an excellent boy, and was
never of a rowdy disposition as
most boys are, but was a good
sober thinking fellow. 1t almost
broke the hearts of his father
and mother to have to give him
up, and they certainly have the
sympathy of their many friends
in their sad bereavement.

Inc free IfaQe laTllI has pre-
ven dismal failure as a revenue

1t would seem to be good horse

SOME MISTAKE. SURELY.

INHERE must be some mistake
! about it; surely high school boys
have not changed so much since
a day that some of us. who do not like
10 think that we are any older than
we were twenty years ago can recall.
that they find escorting girls home
from dances trouble and an. annoy-
Cnce."
II we recollect rightly, and we have
no reason to believe that we have
reached an age where the halcyon DAYS
of youth arc tinged and colored bv the
fading rays of setting sun; if we
remember rightly, as we said taking
the girls home from class meetings
we had no such giddy indulgences as
school dances in those days-was the
chleT purpose of having the class meet
ing. Nobody but the bashful boy of
the class fedged or hesitated for a
moment when going home time came,
and even he kicked himself for n
ninny as he trudged his lonesome way
SACK in those simple, democratic
days not so very long ago. before Har-
risburg had outgrown its small town
ways and donned the sophisticated
garb Of the big city. high school class
meetings were held at the homes of
members. Boys and girls gathered at
me residing place of host or hostess
by twos and threes and the evening
was given over to fun and frolic. now
and then enlivened by waltz or two
step-when the size of the rooms per-
mitted. Perhaps some of the girls
came unescorted. but they never, no,
never. went home alone. Indeed. go
ing home was the climax of the meet
ing; the big. though, of course, un-
mentioned, purpose OF getting to-
sether. And what a rivalry there was
for the favor of the pretty and the
popular girls! Trouble and annov-
ance' of escorting them home. indeed,
Why. the boys almost fought for the
chance, and if the same isn't true TO-
day-and we believe it is-there's
something seriously the matter with
the boys, for anybody who knows any,
thing about the girls in the case will
without hesitation absolve them from
all blame.

Help Me Play the Game"

We believe in passing along bit of
information whenever it comes our
way. We found the following little
prayer in the Wichita Beacon, and 1t
strikes us that someone else might be
given spiritual slap on the back by
reading it. 1t is from the pen of Ed
win Hunt. the Kansas poet. 1t may
no. be "highbrow' stuff. but 1t ought
to help you to play the game of life
with little braver spirit. We repro
duce 1t for the folks who believe in
the God who is worth living for. Here
ii Is:
Some day 1 know the evening sun
will sink adown it's golden lane into
the west. but I'll have read the Great
est Poem of All and sought the solace
of eternal rest. The little children still
will play about, their laughter yet will
rise upon the air. but I. who love them
so. will never see and nevermore for
earthly things will care. Teach me,
o Lord. before that time shall come to
know Thy love holds sway Ger every
thing, that Thou are watching all the
paths we trod, from humblest laborer
unto greatest king. o Lord, the way
is sometimes hard. the thing l think a
gift is oft curse. but though STUN
Bile, still l rise again, and keep on 60
ing, If for good or worse. Help me to
learn the beauties of Thy world, the
good that lies within my fellow men,
and that as Thou hast willed so shall 1t
he, help me to play the game, o Lord.

A FOOTBALL CENTER

TINE Gettysburg-Bucknell football
= game at Island Park on Satur-
day gives rise to the thought
that Harrisburg ought to have more
of these college games. We have the
field and We are the center of the
State so far as railroad transportation
is concerned and we have the popula-
ton sufficient to support college
games.
When the new hotel is built, there
will be no better town in the State
for the social side of college football
than Harrisburg, and no more attrac-
tive place between Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia for a weekend jollifica-
ton following a football game.
We have our inter-scholastic field
meets in the Spring and there should
be greater effort made by our people
to encourage the staging of big college
football contests here.

The Good Loser

Partisanship is running unneces-
sarily high in old established quarters
of conservatism when leading news
paper hints at something to topple
over the administration of the man the
voters elected a week ago. There may
be heavy truth in the assertion that
none is so dangerous as the conserva-
tive grown radical IL this veiled ut
terance of a Chicago paper is to be
accepted as omething stronger than
the expression of disappointment.
To say in print that "the good loser
In this election would be fool" is to
invite the disappointed to rally around
that statement. To go further and
declare that the administration of
President Wilson is bad, and that the
coming four years will be bad, and
should be overthrown by those who
love their country is going further
than sounds we'll even to the sorely
disappointed. 1t is suggesting some-
thing that at one blow would make
over the country and put an end for
ever to our institutions as at present
shaped.
The good loser in this election. and
the good loser in any other election, is
the good citizen who steadies down,
forgets the whipping he got. and does
what he can to help the country. The
effect of the rash utterance would be
that there is only one party in the
country into whose hands the Nations s
affairs will be trusted. The doctrine
that there are only some men in O
Nation fit to control political affairs
is the foundation of monarchies. but
doesn't fit In we'll in a republic of
democracy, however grievously dis
appointment may affiict after popu-
lar Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.

ALL ALASKA DIOCESE OF
THIS LONE NORTHERN BISHOP
BY BRIGGS

He reached Alaska two years before the
rush of prospectors to the Klondike
and was one of the first Americans to
go over Chilkoot Pass, where a snow
slide killed seventy eight men. He was
one of the rescuing party that helped
dig the bodies out of the snow. In all
his years in Alaska he never had the
gold fever
THE results of that memorable craze
made other work for me- he said, "and
was at Skagway at the time there
raany who did not die of that disease
succumbed to shooting affrays. Dur
ing period of two months conducted
almost daily the funeral of some mur-
dered prospector or gambler"
At that time gambler called "soapy"
Smith headed gang that infested the
Klondike and mulcted prospectors. The
activities of the band grew to be such
a menace that Bishop Rowe and others
organized a vigilance committee, which
was sent after the gang. Smith was
killed and others were driven out of
the country.
Bishop Rowe said his winter trips
take him two thousand miles into the
interior. On snowshoes. in company
with an Indian guide, he follows a dog
sled, across the country where there
are no trails, guided only by a compass
through the river valleys and over
snow clad mountains to the remote
camps of Indians and lonely prospec-
tors.-From the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

EXTEND THE LAW
NNERY life insurance policyholde

LIVERY life insurance policyholder
u should be protected by State
supervision of every company or
association selling insurance in Penn
sylvania, whether profit-earning, mu-
tual or fraternal.
To that end, at least, State In
surance Commissioner ]. Denny O'Neil
will have the support of the pubfrc
as whole in his effort TO extend the
insurance laws of the Commonwealth
to give the Insurance Department the
authority it should have over the
operations OF companies and organ
izations doing an insurance business in
Pennsylvania.
Efforts have been made for twenty
years to enact some such legislation
and failure to get the bills through
has been almost always due to the in
huence of certain fraternal and mu-
tual organizations which objected to
it for their own reasons. some of
which are now becoming only too
apparent.
The State inspection of insurance
concerns is not designed alone for the
benefit and protection of stockholders
and officials. The main object of
State supervision is to prevent the
money of the policyholder from being
mishandled and in measure to
guarantee the face value of every
policy issued. No company or as
sociation can reasonably object to
this. Suspicion must rest upon any
insurance concern that fears the
scanning eye OF the State examiner.
No better assurance of financial in
tegrity could be given by any insur-
ance selling agency than that it has
been recently examined by the State
and found to be in excellent condition
Every policy issued to a resident of
Pennsylvania within the borders OF
the State ought to have back of it
the assurance of the State Insurance
Department that the company selling
it is financially responsible, so far as
the examiners have been able to
ascertain.

GETTING TOGETHER

TIME most interesting political re-
i port that has developed since
election day Is that the Reform
and the "old Guard" factions of
Democracy have buried the hatchet
and agreed to be friends-the "Old
Guard" to support A. Mitchell Palmer
for Governor next time and the RE
form" crowd to divide the Federal
patronage swag with the "Old Guard. /"
In the trial of strength at the pri-
maries last Spring the "Old Guard'
showed that 1t is not altogether with
out power. even though without in
huence at Washington. just now the
source of all Democratic "pap" in
Pennsylvania. 1t nominated James NJ.
Cramer for State Treasurer. thereby
smashing the Reform" slate, and
gave the Mccormick Palmer faction
something to think about.
There can be no real reconciliation
between the Ryan wing of the party
and that dominated by the present

BRYAN AND PROHIBITION

TINE expressed intention of William
i Jennings Bryan to make Pro-
hibition the chief issue of the
Democratic party in 1920 is interest
ing from whatever angle it may be
viewed. Beyond doubt, Bryan is sin
cere in his prohibition views. His
temperance proclivities in the cabinet
did much to make grape Juice the
national beverage and paved the way
for the Daniels anti-booze order in
the navy. 1t Is particularly fortunate
for Mr.. Bryan that he found an issue
which at one and the same time is
square with his conscience and gives
him opportunity for new pose in
the political limelight.
The Bryan declaration is full of
high power explosives, but whether
they will go off with a bang that will
rip the Democratic party wide open
or fizzle out before the next Presiden-
tial race cannot now be seen or safely
judged.
There are so many possibilities to
be considered that forecasting is hope
less. But this is apparent, Mr.. BRYAN
has seized upon the only chance vet
remaining to him to be the next
Presidential candidate of the Demo-
cratic party.

Prohibition in 1920

In Denver. three days after the ma
tional election in the United States,
William Jennings Bryan made this
statement: Prohibition is sweeping
the country. 1t will be a presidential
campaign issue in 1920 II a constitu-
tional amendment is not submitted by
Congress to the States by that time.
The political supremacy of the East,
especially New York, is broken. The
West can elect a President; it has
done So" If this means anything, it
means that, in the event of the fail
ure of Congress to submit an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution pro-
hibiting the liquor traffic in all the
States, or in the event of the sub
mitted amendment being defeated or
held up by a bare third of the States,
the Western and Southern Democracy
in control of the national convention
of that party, will probably make pro-
hibitlon its paramount issue, and that
Mr.. Bryan may be willing to lead a
campaign having the determination of
the liquor traffic as its slogan.
What support is there for Mr..
Bryan's position? The South and
West are almost solid prohibition Sec
tions to-day. With the five States
added last Tuesday to the seventeen
on November l, the total number of
prohibition States at present is %.
as follows:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas. Color
ado, Georgia. Idaho, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine. Michigan. Mississippi Mon
tana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Carolina, Virginia. Washington and
West Virginia.
The territory of Alaska also is un-
der the prohibition law. Utah and
Florida, in addition to extending
widely their prohibition territory, on
Tuesday. elected dry" governors. In
at least a dozen other States, local
option" and high license" operate to
areas. Restrictions difficult for deal
ers In intoxicants to meet are in
force in the District of Columbia, In
diana, Illinois, Kentucky, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, New Mex
leo. Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming.
One of the most hotly- contested pro-
hibition campaigns that has ever
been carried on in the United States
was that which ended in Maryland on
the 9TH of this month. Prohibition
was defeated, but the voting showed
tremendous gains for the antiliuuor
element. The contest may properly
be regarded as preliminary skir-
mish. All the indications tend to show
that the liquor interests will be routed
in the next battle.
AS the situation stands at present,
nearly half the States of the Amer
lean Union are in the prohibition coll
umn, and. at the present ratio of In
crease. the time when two-thirds OF
the States. or the number necessary
to ratification of a prohibition amend
ment to the Federal Constitution
through their respective legislatures
will be reached. The present Con-
gress is in harmony with the Ad-
ministration, and the administration
owes it's success in the recent election
very largely to the prohibition States
