Many persons hope so, at any ratc.t They regard the February election as a nuisance and will be only too glad to have it abolished. One more winter election, therefore, is probably all that the voters of Pennsylvania \till be called upon to attend. The schedule which is a part of tinproposed amendments, and which is designed to carry the new provision into complete operation, provides that in 1910 "the municipal election, shall be held on the third Tuesday of February as heretofore." Officers then chosen for places the terms of which are for two years are to serve only until the first Monday in December, At Ihe general election only Statt and National officers are to be voted for, while all the country, city, ward, township and other local officers art to be chosen at the municipal elections.One of these amendments provides that general elections shall be held the first Tuesday alter the first Monday in November, in even-numbered years, and that municipal elections shall be held on the corresponding day in odd years. Last Spring the Spirit and other papers throughout Pennsylvania advertised various amendments to the Constitution of Pennsylvania. The proposed amendments were passed by the Legislature of 1907, and will come up for consideration again, probably soon alter the present session is reconvened next Monday. If they pass again, which is more than likely, they \n ill be submitted to the voters for their approval or rejection at the general election.

FIRST LINCOLN CAMPAIGN PARISHONERS IN POSESSION "I don't want to go to prison, understand; the confinement will prove hard upon me, but if it is necesary for me to go to defend the constitutional guarantee of citizens, I am perfectly willing- to go. If the higher court confirm this decision we must go, whether we want to, or not." i , „.. „ . ... —_ "The fact that I have been sentenced tn serve nine months in prison has not changed my views in regard to the judicary. I am not disposed to say things that I would not have said had I been acquitted. I bellecve that on the averag • every I nited States judge, whether appointed or elected, is above the average in integrity and honesty. I wrote that ni my bok years ago and 1 believe it now.

Mr. Mitchell declared that if the was confirmed by the United States Supreme Court he woul 1 serve the nine months' sentence imposed upon him. He made no attack on the integrity of Judget Wright, but said that his log association with corporations and corporation lawyers might unconsciously have prejudiced his mind, as his own he confessed was prejudiced in favor of union labor.

When the new machines are installed the plant will have a capacity of about 600 dozen gloves per day. The gloves are of the makes now In general use by laborers, and while they retail at 10 and 15 cents, are said to wear as long as the 7Scent and $1.00 makes for rough and many other kinds of work. The new company expects to manufacture enough gloves to supply Punxsutawney and other towns within a circle of 100 miles. The machines will be operated by electricity, tjie firm having made a contract yesterday with the Jefferson Traction Company for the necessary power. The management of the company is now dealing for the lease of a building in Punxsutawney, and as soon as terms can be agreed upon the plant will be moved to this place. The building in mind now is centrally located, and suitable for such an institution, while the shipping facilities i.i this place would be most advantageous.When the new machines are placed and ready for operation, the plant will employ from 30 to 40 girls, and several men as a starter, with provisions made to add moue machines as fast a« they are needed. Accordingly, 10 machines, with a capacity of from 50 to 60 dozens of gloves per day, each, have been ordered, and if the shipments are made promptly the new machinery will be installed by the middle of next week. Although the company has been operating only a few weeks, the demand for the goods they manufacture has been such as to encourage expansion of a substantial character.
