your name as an evidence of good faith, not for publication. A Weekly Thought G-R-I-T A grindstone that had no grit it -how long would it take to sharpen an axe? And affairs that had no grit in them -how long would they take to make a man? -H. W. Beecher The members of the Legislature down at Harrisburg appear to be having a rather strenuous time of it, as Governor Brumbaugh and the powers in control do not seem to agree very well as to the duty of our lawmakers to serve the people. It appears that the Governor in his canvass before the people pledged himself to use his influence to have a county local option law submitted to the people and seems determined to make good his pledges while the ruling powers in the body claim that as there was no reference to the matter in the regular platform there is no pledge express or implied for them to do anything of the kind.

Then there are a good many statesmen who gave their personal pledges to favor such a bill while there are others who the liquor men say pledged themselves to oppose everything of the kind. So things political are very much muddled. In its essence the whole matter is a very simple proposition. Namely--shall the people of this commonwealth have the right to declare their opinion on this question, or shall they not? Underlying this question and inseparably connected therewith is the fundamental one as to whether we are living under a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people or not. Being fundamental in its essence it can never be thrust a- side by any specious reasoning.

President Lincoln in his address at the dedication of the Soldiers' Cemetery said: "Four score and seven years ago, our Fathers brought forth a new nation on this continent, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. We are now engaged in a great Civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation, so concieved and so dedicated can long We well know what that struggle cost. We also know just as well what arguments were used in justification of its commencement. What panegyrics as to the fatherly system of human slavery, what exhaustive arguments we had to listen to with regard to vested rights, and we remember just as distinctly, that in the end each one had to stand up and be counted and to reap his share of the penalty, and we do not have the remotest idea that the conflict between right and wrong is ended. Miss Laura Luther, of Clyde, left Saturday after spending a week at the home of G.

N. Hildebrand. Miss Floy Mack, of Clyde, spent one day last week visiting at the home of G. N. Hildebrand.

Edward H. Griffith, aged 78 years, one of the best known and most respected citizens of Marion Center, died at his home in that place Monday afternoon. He is survived by the following children: Frank, of Greensburg; Harry of Indiana; Clarence, of Jeanette, and Charles editor of the Marion Center Independent, and William of Marion Center: also one brother and three sisters in Somerset county. The funeral service was held at his late home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and interment was made in the Marion Center cem- etery. DEATH OF DR.

DUNCAN Dr. Thomas Emerson Duncan, of Wellsville, Ohio, died on Saturday morning, aged 40 years and 5 months. He was the youngest son of the late William Duncan, of this plase, and grew to manhood here. He is survived by his step-mother and several children. He had been absent from Blairsvillef or quite a number of years, but will be well remembered by many of our people.

The cause of his death was pneumonia. The body was brought here and interred in the Blairsville cemetery on Tuesday. SOCIAL EVENING New Era Club Holds Regular Meeting at Home of Mrs. R. B.

Cummins The New Era Club met at the home of Mrs. R. B. Cummins Monday evening, March 15th, sixteen members being present. Instead of the regular literary program the evening was spent socially.

The house was elaborately decorated in honor of St. Patrick and the evening was given over to the wearing of the green and the proverbial joke on 'Pat'. Miss Leach read us an interesting article on the Kissing Question. Mrs. Coleman favored us with several lovely solos.

Mrs. Rowe read a humorous selection and also sang for us a beautiful Irish song. She further entertained us by imitating a number of childish voices in the reproduction of one of Browning's poems. The color scheme was further carried out in the dainty and elaborate refreshments served by the social committee. A number of the new records were then given on the victrola.

E. S. GILMORE, Maple Ave. Blairsyille, Pa. To The Merchants and Sucessful Business Men of This Town You men of affairs appreciate the importance of a "good front" in your stores and offices.

That is a hobby with all successful men. When you advertise your business in the newspapers or elsewhere, you know the vital vaalue of good type dress and clean illustrations. But if "good copy" is important in your business advertisements, isn't it equally important in your personal front? Your clothes advertise your personality and your personal character just as your advertisements reflect the personality and character of your business.
