KEYSTONE AND MOOSERS.
During. the primary elections of
1912 in Pennsylvania for delegates to
the Republican national convention
the bull moosers, in electing an ov
erwhelming majority of the delegates
for Colonel Roosevelt, elected a full
state committee which was run in the
interest of Col. Roosevelt, carrying
the electoral vote for him by a large
plurality. This was part of the glory
of the bull moosers for 1912.
At the state-wide primary elections
held September 16 last there were no
members of the bull moose party
elected to the state committee from
eighteen of the fifty senatorial dis
tricts of the state. A meeting of the
state committee of the bull moose
party, as wrell as of the Republican
state committee, was called to con
vene in Harrisburg on September 30
for the purpose of organizing, as re
quired under the state wide primary
act; but as there was no meeting of
the bull moose state committee on
that date, the bull moose party of
Pennsylvania will go out of existence.
In the meantime, the Republican
state committee met, with every
member present or represented, and
organized under the law, the transfer
of power passing without a hitch or
murmur from the Hon. Bill Flinn of
Pittsburg, by a vote of eighty-nine to
seven, to Senator Penrose.
And thus was recorded the gloom
of defeat, demoralization and death of
the bull moose party of Pennsylvan
ia.—New York Sun.
YOUTH AND WAR.
Our own civil war was fought by
youngsters, gaining ilie physique of
maturity upon the weary march, com
ing into their manhood upon the field
of battle. The youth of Russia and
Japan -was drawn upon to settle the
dispute between the robbers of a
third nation’s lands. Scarce half the
soldiers of the Balkan allies, it is
said, had down upon their cheeks, and
in Mexico the guerrilla warfare is
carried on by boys who in a more ad
vanced country would be in school.
It is probably true that since the
days when entire nations made a pro
fession of lighting, lived by conquest
and prospered by the loot they took,
war has been a duty always assigned
to striplings.
If youth made war, there would
be less of gross immorality about it.
But youth is only the pawns of the
fighting, only the creatures to be shot
down to be laid oj.sn to the sins and
temptations that trail in the wake of
armies. It has not always been re
alized how little a part the fighters
of any war have with its contriving.
But that realization must come home
to a nation which takes account of
the loss of its viiility through war,
the sacrifice of its adventurous spirit,
which in other directions might have
wrought quite wonderful things.
Perhaps in this new way we have
of looking at the rising generation as
the best asset of a country the world
will think more of the wastes of war,
more of the damage it does to itself.
Through that might come the uni
versal peace we pray for.—Toledo
Blade.
PUBLIC SERVICE COMPENSATION.
The greatest service that the pub
lic ever gets usually comes to it free.
Now this statement may not meet
with the ideas of many people, but
it is true to a great extent. In eve
ry city and town in the country are
men to be found who give hours, days,
weeks and years to doing things for
the public for which they receive no
compensation. In every public affair
or enterprise of whatever kind some
good citizen always comes to the
front and gives the best there is in
him and receives nothing in return,
and indeed would accept nothing if
it was offered. Whenever there is a
great job to be done, either in town
or in the country, a call for help is
always responded to by someone with
a higher consciousness of what con
stitutes a duty and what the real
personal recompense is.
Memory.
(By George Fitch.)
Memory is a sort of mental glue,
by which facts are stuck to the brain.
Some facts stick much more readily
than others. Almost everyone remem
bers the date of Washington’s birth
day. Yet most mien only remember
their wives’ birthdays with great ef
fort, some weeks after said birthdays
have passed on.
Memory is very useful, because it
r lieves a man from the job of learn
ing everything he knows fresh each
morning. Some men have such good
memories that they can rise, go to
work and proceed through the entire
day without being obliged to learn a
single new fact.
Some men are able to memorize
whole chapters of the Bible at a sin
gle reading. Others do not even re
member who was the author of this
great work, but when asked what
Zimmerman’s batting average was in
the year 1907, they reply accurately
and without hesitation.
Many a college professor can re
member the date of everything im
portant that has happened up to 1800.
But in order to make him remember
to bring home a pound of butter his
wife would have to carve a memor
andum on his skull.
The human brain is capable of re
membering a vast array of facts at
one time. However, a great many peo
ple do not use much common sense
in selecting these facts. Often a man
will have upwards of 11,000 funn?
stories alphabetically arranged in bis
memory, but would have to be prompt
ed ten times in order to recite the
ten commandments.
Moreover, many a young man who'
has won the valedictory in college
by remembering the contents of a
wagon load of ext books, has been
removed from job after job with great
vigor afterward, because he could not
remember what the boss told him to
do next.
Memory is a fine thing, but whet
it isn’t harnessed it is as useless as
an Arabian horse without a bridle.
Many men go sadly through life re
membering a vast quantity of facts
which they have no use for, and for
getting to call up the bank before
cashing a check for a total stranger.
We should strive to so live that
our debtors will remember us while
we -re alive, and our creditors will
r. member us with deep gratitude af
ter we have passed on.
Waldron House Was Sold Today.
The Waldron house, on Reservation
avenue, was sold today by George
Robbins, the administrator of the es
tate and was purchased by Mrs. A.
Burr, for $480. The personal effects
brought $172.10 to the estate. The
diamond brings in a large part
; of that sum as it sold for $7f> and the
\ watch worn by the old man brought
! $29. The sale brought in more than
will be needed to pay all the expen
ses of the burial.
The Nemo.
Nemo Corsets are made over the
living figure and are anatomically
correct. Tehre can be no pressure
at any point if the correct Nemo
model is selected and worn. Private
room for fitting. At E. WINTER’S,

Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank the members of
the Valdez Volunteer Fire Depart
ment and all Valdez citizens, who, by
their prompt work, aided us in sav
ing much of our stock from being
damaged by the water and prevented
the complete loss of our building.

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of the stove. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the sa ne line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the •effectiveness of .he methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
Light v.p year store with Edison Mazda Lamps and
watch your business glow.
Our I/tulip Man '.'ill advise you how to use them
as profitably as thousands of others are using them
throughout, the country.
