While the rival Democrats are
clawing each other the Republican
aspirants are busy Senator Sproul
is getting his things in shape to start
his tour of the state next month
and his headquarters in charge of
William I. Shaffer, of Media, will he
busy place. Commissioner j..
Denny O'Neil, who spoke in Ebens-
burg yesterday. will be in Phila-
delphia tonight and probably to-
morrow to. see his friends. Mean
while Attorney General Brown is
moving things to get the Wares lined
up for O'Neil, but indications are
that the Philadelphia city commit
tee. if il does not endorse Sproul,
will decide that each leader may go
his own way. A demand on all Re-
publican candidates to state in writ
ing whether they will abide by de-
cision of the Republican primary is
to be made. Asa A. Weimer, of Leb-
anon, is pushing his candidacy by
means of advertising and Robert P.
Habgood, of Mexican, is making
headway in the northern tier with
his harmony propaganda.

Another interesting problem in
connection with the new hours, will
be the curfew. The whistles blow
in five sections of Harrisburg at S45
for the youngsters to get off the
streets and at nine for them to be
indoors. AS the boys and girls have
been figuring it out, this in reality
means 745 under the time to which
they have been accustomed, and all
in the house at 8. There are apt
to be some protests heard, but the
city fathers show no signs of a new
ordinance at present.

Hon. John M. Parker, food ad-
mlnistrator Of the State had the
following to say of the canton
ments while on a visit in Texas
this week:
Il saw, somewhere in Texas,
battalion Of $500 men which had
just received orders to speed to-
ward the sea to 60 into the trench
es on the firing line," remarked
Mr.. Parker. ''It was marching
behind band playing Over
There, and without exception tho
men were wild with delight at the
prospect of coming into contac:
with the foe.
Another inspiring sight was
hundreds Of airplanes in the air
at the same time, all being closely
observed and directed from sau-
sage balloons or stations on the
ground. Judging by the nature
and precision Of the evolutions the
aviators are fearless and absolute
ly capable. Their machines were
under such perfect control that
there is no doubt the American
flying squadron will prove 40
potent factor as the nation ex-
poets.
"The sanitary condition Of all
the camps was wonderful. The
physique and physical status Of
the men could hardly be improved
upon. In not one of the camps
was there the slightest complaint
about food or treatment. From
what l saw Of the spirit Of the
soldiers, their condition. their
determination, the attitude of all
our boys from all walks Of life
who have patritically donned the
khaki, I am more that satisfied
that the cry, The Americans Are
Coming!' will strike terror into
the hearts of the enemy. There
is not a doubt about America
making a splendid record for
vigor. dauntless courage, and ir-
resistible dash, and that our boys
will go into the struggle with the
determination that will help to
win the victory with as much
speed as possible"

vass Of the City and Parish in or

Fund. The splendid example as
shown by other towns and cities

Knights of Columbus in the Uni

lies have helped generously. The
fund has the endorsement of Pres
ident Wilson, the three American
Cardinals, of great leaders in

every Catholic to give to the War

his contribution will bring com
fort and relief to some Of the

In a recent Associated Press

In a recent Associated Press
dispatch was the following:
The general took the party OF
correspondents to his headquarC'
ers and pointed out the location
of his troops on large map."How
much of no mans land is there
between the trenches and this
point? asked one of the visitors
pointing to the map. "There is
no mans land there; it is all
America land," replied the gen
eral. A French captain later
substantiated the generals state
ment by saying the Americans had
assumed control Of no mans land
after entering the trenches in that
sector. German prisoners cap

that the handful of Americans at.

vigor that the Germans threw UP

All of which is quite in accord

their practice has been. not to sur.

sure, be so in the present war.
Whatever the people back home
may think, the boys in the trench
es do not regard the German war
machine as invulnerable or un-
conquerable. On the contrary,
they are out to smash it, and ther
is no doubt in the mind Of any Of
them, from General Pershing
down to the humblest private, Of
their ability to do so.

OLD POLITICIAN WEEPS AND
WALLS DOLEFULLY.

In his personal mouth organ, the
Leader Clarion, former Moyor
Konkel, now called Jeremiah,
the Weeping Prophet" writes as
follows of the spring cleanup in
Superior:
"The work of reform goes
merrily on. Gambling is prohib-
tied where gambling is not wanted
and allowed to run where we think
it will do Us some good. Law en-
forcement can mean but one thing.
1t means that the laws must be en-
forced against one and all alike.
I caught hell for six years be-
cause poker games were allowed
to run, and was openly denounced
from the pulpits of the city. Po-
ker games ran all through my ad-
ministration and poker games are
running now. I mention this for
the special benefit Of Rev Mr..
Gelvin, the Rev. Mr.. Goodell, the
Rev. NJ. Kelly, the Rev. Mr.. Ferry,
the Rev. D. B. Cheney, the Rev.
Mr.. Ekblad and all the other polit-
ical pulpit rantors who were con-
stantly after me. I also mention
it for the benefit of professional
reformers like Bill Foley, VIM.
Roycraft, A. F. Chadwick, Fred
Seguin, George Bubar and DR..
Ogilvie. If we are going to have
law enforcement let us have it. "

He was regularly present at cleri-
cal gatherings in the old days, as
a guest, in the hope he would alb
sorb responsibility from the com.
pany. But, alas, SO commanding
was this personality that the COM
pany used mostly to absorb con-
geniality from him. Then they
tried preaching to him, singing
him out by name, but John needed
them not. In time they grew
rougher and tried arresting him,
but the prison held no terrors for
the burly clown.
e. $50 now they have made him
extinct-executed him; expelled
him from the city, with all his
works.
cit will happen tonight at low
twelve.
"a few uncertain steps viii fol-
low him through the darkness to
his tomb. A few too liquid voices
will try again to sing the songs
Of his more famous days. But. it
will be very small funeral. There
will be no public mourning.
"John, you see, had hosts of &C
quaintances, but few friends. And
his true friends were mostly fools.
MAYBE some, with charity
enough, may grave a memorial
word upon his tomb, and this is
about all they can say:

crop through the winter. This
year they have not been able to
realize a proper price.
I do not believe the county
agents sent out those circulars
with evil intent. It looks to me
like a case Of mere damfoolish-
ness. But now the chaps who
stopped over are trying to ex-
cuse themselves by saying that the
farmers were too greedy and that
they should have sold last fall.
These so-called experts make me
think of the blind leading the
blind and their logic is about the
same as that of Odin Halden when
he sent out circular letter advis-
ing the settlers in St. Louis county
to forego most road building this
year on account Of the war and
hard times.
Settlers must pay taxes as well
as help win the war. Raising
crops and disposing of them prof
itably are their only means Of do
ing so. If there are inadequate
roads, then crops cannot be mar
keted; taxes cannot be paid; the
war cannot be won. Fortunately,
this was an election year and we
had a county board in which a
majority did not heed King Odin
and, this year, roads in the Fifth
district are being built better than
ever before, all of which helps the
farmers, the county and the ma
ton. OLD SETTLER.

Burly Clown Will Be Expelled From Superior
Tonight At Low Twelye-Mourned Only
By Foolish Few.

Speaking of Old John Barley
corn, who leaves Superior tonight
for permanent exile in Oliver, the
Detroit News in part, recently
said: g.,
"Queer old fellow-knew Noah,
met him one day, and laid him out
under tree. Knew Old Omar,
likewise Robbie Burns. Hob
nobbed with kings, yet held
niche in every peasants cabin.
Very friendly with nice old ladies
given to chills, an indispensable
guest at christenings and mar
riages and wakes, at Christmas,
New Years, and likewise birth
days.
"Strange old fellow-the more
he was left alone the better he
was; yet not proud, either for he
held many acquaintance who
struggled him in by the back door
after dark that the neighbors
might not see, and it hurt not his
pride at all.
"He head a personality, did
John. Once in his presence, folks
used to sing jolly songs about his
attractions. He loosed the tongues
of the hesitant, gave freedom and
dash to the bashful, filled the timid
with gusty courage and flushed
dull eyes with flame. And when
he went away the fire died down
and left dead vancancy and cold.
"They used to have hopes Of
conventionalizing John and max
ing him a member of good society.

ENGINEER AIRS HIS VIEWS.
Duluth, June 81, 1913.
To the Editor of the Rip-saw:


To the Editor Of the Rip-saw:
I note that the Duluth board Of
education went to Minneapolis to
hire a business manager for the
administrative end Of school af-
fairs.
I am not against the idea of
new blood. The farmer finds it
necessary to provide it for his
herds now and then. A man from
another city often brings new
ideas, energy and zeal, thereby
leavening a lump that may be
somewhat inert.
But, all else being equal, I be-
lieve that local men should have
the first chance at any local en-
ployment. And when an outsider
is hired, he should be a man rich
and ripe in experience, as well as
natural ability, who can come to us
with willingness to give us the
full benefit, rather than because
he considers this a field in which
to get business experience that he
lacks through years, environment
or opportunity in his former field
Of endeavor.
cannot agree with director

cannot endorse his determination
to ignore all local talent and to
bull-headedly insist on bringing in
an outsider before it is definitely
established that there is a dearth
of suitable men right on the
ground from whom to pick.
I also cannot understand why

BROOKSTON. FARMER RE-
LIEVES HIS CHEST
PRESSURE.

Brookston, MINI, June q, '18.
To the Editor Of the Rip-saw: p
Last September, the county ag-
ricultural agents sent out a cir
cular letter to the farmers advis-
ing them to select and hold their
potatoes for the attractive prices
that would obtain later by so do
ing. Personally / took no stock
in the circular, therefore disposed
of good share Of my potatoes
last November at q satisfactory
price.
Many potato growers needed
the city asses, feeding at the pub
lie crib, and kept all their potato
