Originally the Friends church
held as one Of its tenets the doc
trine of non.resistance-in cases
even to the point of death.
We believe it is still a cardinal
doctrine Of the church, though
greatly modified in great many
respects.
We shall not here stop to con-.
slider the doctrine as q doctrine

thar to say that Kaiser Bill is
just now looking for whole ma
tions of that kind of people, and
would just now give anything in
the world If the United States
we're that kind of a nation.
To be sure the Herald has no
penchant for militarism. and we
are certain that neither have the
people of the United States, so in
this we are in full accord with
our Quaker friends.
However, we do not think that
martial drills as a diversion, ex-
cercise, or for entertainment
purposes, incites to militarism or
wars more than does martial
music, or what might be termed
martial songs.
Boxing is one of the most rec
reative exercises there is.

that doesn't mean that the colleg-

ticuffs among them than among

Histories .ns Incidents
| of Old Boston
l. and the Old Days
By the Writer,
Tioga County

Tioga County
The state legislature was at
that time as 1t has always been
run by less than a dozen persons.
In the very early part of the
session the bill looking to the
formation of q county out Of the
east end of Las Animas was in
troduced. providing for the pres
ent county OF Baca, only under
the name Of Tioga.
The introduction of that bill of
course eliminated Minneapolis,
and by its provision of making
Boston the county seat of course
also eliminated Sprin. field.
The fight consequently was
again Boston against the field,
with every indication that Boston
had only one chance in aprobable
thousand OF losing out.
The bill was read and ordered
printed. After a lapse of time it
was read again, accor ding to the
rules of the game.
In the last days of the session
it was read q third time and pas.
sed. it being Immediately ratified
by the senate, and went thence
to the governor.
Now comes the phenomenal in
cidence in connection with this
phenominal Tioga county.
After q few days the governor
returned the bill without his OBJ
iections-to have some technical
made in its wording.
What the technical change
wanted we do not now recall, but
it had no relation 10 q change in
the county seat or the name of
the county.
We will say candidly that we
believed Senator Barilla to be re-
sponGihle for what then happen
~ n tn I'LL hpk Qe 1laa6a
was only surmise, with the
chances that Ex-senator Barilla
is the only one at the present
time that could shed any light
on the subject,
But the change made by the
legislature was to strike out the
word Boston and TO substitute
Springfield therefor, and to
change the name Tioga to Baca.
So amended the bill went back
to the governor and was signed
by him-we believe after the leg
islature had adjourned.
Afer the first paralyzing news
to Boston, some wise Bostonion
sprang the proposition that the
old bill rightfully became a law
by the failure of the governor to
return it within the prescribed
constitutional limits with his
objections"
By the constitution, when bill
goes to the governor, he may re-
turn it with his objections''-
thus vetoing it; and in case he
does not so return it-and does
not sign it, it becomes a law af-
ter a cerrain number of days. the
same as if it had been by him
signed.
Boston was for a short time
greatly enthused by this new
proposition; but the people were
now financially down and out,
and as it would take years to
grind the thing through the
courts for adjustment, the propo
sition was dropped. aud thus the
beginning of the end of poor old
Boston was in sight.
Of course the county seat elec-
tion in 1890 legalized Springfield
as the county seat of this county,
and the lapse of time has legaliz-
ed the name of Baca; so the whole
thing has now become phenom-
inal anomily of history. and ia
referred to here only as things
that actually were, and things
that really might nave been had
they been followed up.

TO SELL SEED COR NAT COST

Repeated tests o nthe termination of
seed corn at the Ohio State University
College of Agriculture show that the corn
is terminating but from 1 to go percen.
Most of the cor is testing bu 10 per cent.
AS the result of the seriousness of this
situation, the Agricultural College Exten-
sion Service is sending our representa-
tives to secure options on corn of known
quality. The corn will be purchased with
money provided by Congress and will be
sold to the farmers at cost.
eBginning the week of January 2S, rur-
al teachers all owe rthe state were max
ing tests of the seed corn in their dis
tricts. It is expected that these tests
will verify the results already obtained,
and will indicate where the most acute
shortage is to be found.
Persons having supplies of good seed
corn for sale are urgtd to advertise it in
ther local papers as well as farm papers,
an dto communicate with the Agricultural
Extension service, Columbus, Ohio.

FRED DIENER IS
SERIOUSLY HURT

Night Policeman Fred Diener
of this city, met with serious
if not fatal accident last Wed
nesday afternoon about 4:3O
o'clock. Mr.. Diener was assist
ing-in cutting down tree at the
John McKirnan home on West
Fayette street, where the acci-
dent occurred. One of the big
limbs of the tree had been
sawed almost through and ropes
had been attached to it to pull
it over. Mr.. Diener took one of
the ropes and ascended a ladder
which was placed agaist the
house. When the limb fell it
struck the ladder, breaking it
and throwing Mr.. Diener sew
pral feet in the air. He fell
across a wire fence, which tore
a ten-inch cash across his side
and abdoman. His right knee
was dislocated, the leg broken
and three ribs fractured.
Drs. Brumm and Miller were
called and he was removed to
his home on Lisle street. After
an examination the physicians
found his condition so serious
that specialist, DR.. Huntley, of
Lima, was summoned. The
specialist, assisted by Drs.
Brumm and Miller, operated
on Mr.. Diener about midnight.
A nurse from Lima is now in
charge of the case.
Last reports from Mr.. Die
ner's bedside was that he was
resting as we'll as could be ex-
pected, but his condition is new
ertheless critical.
Edward Diener, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Hole and Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Hole,
of Toledo, were called here by Mr.. Die
ner's serious condition.

"our government Is OF publishing its
military secrets to the world. But every
division Of every bureau Of every depart
ment in this government is working at the
highest pitch of pressure day and night.
All that ca be said now the general
public is that he results all along every
line of American military activity are not
only satisfactory, but deeply gratifying.
Anybody who expects or urges our gov
ernment TO publish abroad the details Of
it's colossal military preparations Is eth
