TO CHANGE INAUGURATION.
The movement to have the date
for the inauguration of President of
United States changed from March
4, when the weather is generally
inclement and cold, to a later date,
has assumed real shape. Philadel
phia and Pennsylvania are greatly
interested in this because they sup
ply thousands of men for each in
augural parade. The part the Key
stone State plays in the ceremonies
is so great that the scheme will ap
peal to its citizens forcibly. Com
missioner Macfarland, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, hag announced
that the national committee on the
proposed change of inauguration
day from March 4 to a later date
will be called together some time in
November. This committee is com
posed of the Governors of the several
States and Territories, with fifteen
residents of the District of Co
lumbia. The chairman has been
in correspondence with the Govern
ors of States smce the last inaugura
tion, and has secured the written
consent of forty-one of them to serve
on the committee. The Governors
who accepted service expressed
sympathy with the movement, and
some of them are emphatic in doing
so. This indicates that they are
prepared to bring the matter before
the people and the Legislatures of
the States in a favorable light, as
well as lend their influence to the
operations of the national commit
tee. The death of Senator Bate of TenS
nessee, followed by that of Ambas
sador Azpiroz and that of Judge
Weldon of the Court of Claims, in
consequence of exposure on last 4th
of March, have made a deep im
pression as to the dangers of the
preseut inauguration date.

FARMERS' PICNIO
Annual Meeting at Trout Ponds Addressed
by Hon. W T. Creasy
In speaking of the address de.
livered by Hon. W. T. Creasy at
the Farmers' picnic at Trout Pond,
Lycoming county, on August 19,
the Hughesrille JAz'says:
"The speaker of the day, Hon.
V. T. Creasy, of Columbia County,
was introduced, and gave the audi
ence one of the best talks to the
farmers ever listened to in this sec
tion. He pointed out the necessity
of the formers banding themselves
together, not for political purposes
but for the benefit of themselves.
Let them see that the candidate who
will look after the farmer's interest
be elected to office, one who recog
nizes the fact that the farmer has
interests that shall be respected,
and that he will uphold such in
terests and see that such legislation
as tends to better the condition of
the farmer, to whom all others
must look for food, shall be enact
ed. He referred to the beuefits to be
derived from the road bill, whereby
the farmer will be able to secure
better roads over which to haul the
products of his labor to market at a
less expense than at present. He
also iointed out the benefit to be
derived from the telephone, and ad
vised the farmers to erect lines
throughout the county, showing
where it can be done at a small out
lay, and also demonstrated where
possibly in a month or six weeks
one can transact business over the
telephone, without leaving home,
whereby the cost of installation of
the phone can be realized.
Mr. Creasy is a pleasant and en
tertaining speaker and his talk was
greatly enjoyed by all present, and
had bis coming in our midst been
more thoroughly advertised a much
larger audience would have greeted
him, and it is to be hoped that our
citizens may have an opportuuity
in the not tar luture of listening to
him again."

David H. Laue and other ma
chine leaders in Philadelphia under
take to explain the inflation of the
registration lists to the extent of
60,000 bogus votes by the state
ment that one-third of the popula
tion of Philadelphia moves once a
year and that this transmigratory
process causes an accidental dupli
cation of names for which the regis
ter assessors are not to blame. Of
all tales for the marines that have
ever been told by the machine to
cover its tracks this is the cheapest
and the silliest. Pittsburg Leader

THE BAE ASSOUI&TION.
The following circular has been
addressed to members of the bar of
of this county by Col. J G. Freeze
President ol the Bar Association:
Gentlemen ok the Bar.
There are now on the roll of at
torne at the Columbia County B.ir,
fifty-four names. Twelve of those
cannot lie said to be in active prac
tice, but rather in other r urstiits
yet are members of the Bar: all of
whom are or at least ought to be,
jealous of its honor and zealous in
keeping it up to a high grade of
efficiency mid of learning ard of
esprit tfti corps. The Bar Associa
tion has faUcn into decay, at least
into a decline, and it is of the first
importance to the profession in the
county to reorganize it and have it
become an active and vital force.
We ore not only not Brothers of the
Bar, but we scarcely know each
other.
We indeed have no place to meet
no room in' or about the Court
House fitted for or large enough
for a business or social meeting or
assemblage. What is called the
Library is in no respect a library
room or fit for one. It is indeed a
sort of Book-Room, but without
conveniences for use of any kind.
It is in fact only a waiting room to
the court-room.
Of the thirty-one subscribers to
the constitution and membership in
the Association in 1S02, eleven are
dead or have left the county. The
following remain, in the order here
given:
John G. Freeze, J. B. Robison.
C. W. Miller, B. Frank Zarr,
Robert R. Little. Geo. E. Elwell.
L. E. Waller, N. U. Funk, W. II.
Rhawn, Paul U. Wirt, Grant Her
ring, H. V. White, J. H. Mn'ze,

1 ne Pennsylvania Bar Association
is vigorously enforcing the Supreme
Court Rules and requirements fur ad
mission to the Bar for which we
should all be thankful. It will raise
the standard of learning, education
and qualification for membership,
and redound to the advantage of
litigants as well as practitioners and
courts.
And now what can be done, ought
to be done and must be done, to put
us tain y on our teet in this race and
endeavor to raise the reputation ot
the Bar and fit to answer all the
requirements of the highest court?
i he present officers of the Asso
ciating are John G. Freeze, Presi
dent; Geo. h. Elwell, Secretary;
a. f. Aarr, 1 reasurer.
After consultation it has been
concluded to call a meeting of the
Bar at the Court House in Court
Room No 2, third floor at 2 o'clock
P. M. on Saturday, September oth.
A. D., 1905, to consider the situation
and to take such action as the
subject demands.
Peaoe Assured.
The peace conference between
the representatives of Russia and
Japan has agreed upon terms upon
which the war between those nations
is to end. The terms were approv
ed by both the Czar and Mikado,
but notwithstanding this thfro ia
great dissatisfaction on both sides.
A dispatch dated September ath
from Manchuria says:
The Japanese are eontinuinir
preparations for a battle.
Inis has caused astonishment.
coming at the moment when the peac
treaty is on the eve of being signed
at Portsmouth. The Russian ad
vance posts report that the Japanese
troops are very much dissatisfied
witn the peace agreement. The
terms of peace are the subject of
discussion everywhere. In the
Russian army the prevailing spirit
is one of satisfaction and even of
lively reioicine. though general
confidence is expressed that the
troops would be victorious if they
had to fight another battle The
feeling of many of the officers may
De summea up in the words of an
emineut commander: "As a soldier
I am greatly chagrined, but as a
citzen I rejoice at the conclusion of
peace."
Whatever mav be the feelings of
the two nations, the whol world is
giving to President Roosevelt all
the praise for brine'inp about ihe
peace conference, and when several
time it appeared that all negotiations
were at an end it was his persistence
that opened the wav for new mo-
positions and final brought the op--
ponents together on terras that have
ended a most disastrous war to
both sides. The President has
received the thanks of Emperor
Nicholas and the Mikado for his
efforts, and every nation is sounding
his praises as a diplomat and peace
maker." -1 ' m -

TOR FREE TRADE
General Wood Says It Is Necessary In The
Philippines.
Needs of the Filipino were
descanted upon by General Leonard
Wood before he and liis wife sailed
for the Philippines. They took the
steamship Teutonic f ir Liverpool.
From England they will sail cn a
P. nnd O. boat. After saying the
Philippines now were under the
best government ever known there
the general went on:
"The need of free trade is obvi
ous. We have taken away from
the Filipinos their Spanish markets
and have substituted nothing in
their phve. Free trade will injure
no American industry. The second
need is to get the people back" to
work in the fields Our coining to
the islands necessarily resulted in a
tremendous inflation of prices and
wages. The United States poured
into the (islands many millions of
dollars a year fot several years, and
the result was to raise wages in a
way that did the people great harm.
Now we want to get these people
back to agriculture. If the islands
are to be developed they must do
the labor. The impulse for this
must "ome from without. There
must be American leadership and
capital there."
General Wood said there was no
military or political problem in the
islands.
"I am sure the only agitation re
garding the future of tht islands is
found in this country," said he,
"nnd if that should cease we over
there would hear little more about
it."

mittee is not arranging any set
program for a campaign this year,
and while it has received offers from
many speakers to stump the State,

From every county but two, Sus
quehanna and Cameron, have come
requests for Mr. Berry and it is un
derstood now that he will irake

having opened the campaign at the
Grangers' picnic on Thursday of

kill, Lancaster, Beaver, Lehigh,

their ticket shall address seme of
their meetings and he has consented
to make speeches betore six Pro
hibition meetings in various parts of

Royal Arcanum Rates.

The special session of the Sup
reme Council of the Royal Arcanum
at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, during the past
week, took the following action:
The laws were amended, strik
ing out option 'D' by a very decid
ed vote. We also made options 'B'
and 'C applicable to the present
membership only, and restricted
new members to a selection between
the regular rates and option 'A.'
An amendment was also adopt
ed for the reinstatement, without
new medical examination, of mem
bers suspended since June 1, it they
apply for reinstatement before No
vember 1 . The proposition to cre
ate a fraternal fund by annual con
tributions of 20 cents from each
member, to be used in payment of
assessments of aged members, was
referred to an Executive Committee
with power to procure the necessary
Slate legislation, the proposition
being contrary to the laws of the
State of Massachusetts.
"An amendment was adopted
providing that members over 65
years of age may pay only one-half
of their assessments, the other hilf
to be charged agaitist their certifi
cates, deductiou to be made when
the benefits are paid."
Hon. W. T. Creasv delivered an
address at the Tri-County Farmers'
P cnic held at DeWitt's Park.
Riverside, last Saturday. It was
replete with good advice to farmer?.
