In Accepting the county chairmanship of the Republican party, Aaron A Rasor did so with the expressed hope that the two factions of the party, or to be more explicit, 1 the Republicans and the Progressives, would unite in the choosing of county officers. But, as conven- • tion time draws near, fusion of the two parties is less and less a probability, in fact, it is a foregone conclusion that the Progressives will nominate a full county ticket. All proposals made by Mr. Rasor and his executive committee have been scorned by the new party and the principal reason they have for refusing to listen is that they have nothing to lose and they win even if they can secure second place for a Progessive candidate. To an unbiased observer, the coming county election can have but one. result and that is a Democratic county administration. Os course the Republicans or the Progressives may elect some candidates but the chances are none to be sanguine over. Undoubtedly, the majoritv who read this know the subject of these remarks much better than we, but nevertheless we will add our word of commendation. A. A. Rasor, of whom we are speaking, has added his card to those already in the political announcement column. He is asking the nomination of county clerk on the Republican ticket. Mr. Rasor is a director in our local bank and was formerly Vice-President. His qualifications for the office are absolutely unquestioned and his integrity and character unassailable. We wish him success. It Is seldom that a country newspaper editor is accused of curtailing a fellow being’s income, especially that of a minister, and it has amused us to hear that charge made against the editor of the Milford Mail. A former Milford pastor is purported to have made the remark that preaching in that town was less lucrative than in most and made the explanation that the editor of the Mail performed so many marriages and preached to many funerals that the regular ministers seldom picked up any fees from these ceremonies. One other candidate for the township assessorship on the Republican ticket is announcing his candidacy in another column of the journal

This aspirant is Perry A. Dull the well known farmer living southeast of Syracuse. Mr. Dull is well qualifiied for the position he seeks and will make a capable assessor. This is his first request for political honors. No More will we be able to get furniture, razors, knives, etc., with tobacco coupons. The word is out that the tobacco manufacturers will cease to insert the little paper coupon that nestles so snugly in muslin bags of makings and have decided to quit the time honored custom of giving presents to smokers. Have you paid your income tax? LARbEREN® AND FEWER TRAINS B. & O. Business Is Better In Spite Oi Indications To Contrary The B. & 0. is reducing engineers to firemen and conductors to brakemen and is laying off others but those who are in a position to know claim that the business of this company has never been better for this season of the year. New engines of huge power, equipped with automatic stokers are now running and they carry from 90 to 100 loaded cars, thereby cutting out over half the number of trains yet not decreasing the amount of tonnage. Some claim that this effort to make indications point to a decrease of business is merely byplay for the sentiment it will create for increased freight rates Be this as it may, the working question is one that is bothering B. & O em ployes.
