Anyone Can "Judge Reed, in Jefferson County, appears to have gone far beyond any other Judge in the State in attaching requirements to the granting of licenses. It. is a common practice for Judges to fix an hour when saloons shall close and to demand other things not specially provided by the law, but Judge Heed is reported to have required that the two hotel men to whom licenses are granted in a small town in Jefferson County shall build a lockup and maintain two policemen for the town at their own expense. It is pretty hard to believe this, but it is reported on the authority of the newspapers of that section, with the further statement that the hotel men agreed to the conditions, which shows that there must be money in their business.—Phila. Press. Upon investigation we (ind that tlie publications on which the above article is based were erroneous. Judge Heed made 110 such requirements as those indicated. Tliere were no conditions or restrictions of any kind attached to the granting of the licenses referred to, and there was no suggestion or intimation from the court about building a lockup or employing policemen. The hotels of Jefferson County arc probably conducted as well as and as peaceably and orderly as any hotels 111 the State, and that, too, without any conditions or restrictions imposed upon the licensee other than those imposed by the Brooks I.aw itself. The only license rule in Jefferson County, written or oral, is that the sale of liquors shall cease at 10:;i0*vclock at night and shall not be resumed again before 5:30 o'clock in lie morning.

Esq., who died on Tuesdayof last week, took place on Friday afternoon and was largely attended. Services were held at the late home of the deceased at 3 p. 111. The Jefferson County Bar Association attended in a body. Interment was made in the Brookville Cemetery. Brookville's water supply is almost entirely cut off. The cold weather of this winter has frozen over half of the pipes and reHidents are reiving upon each other for a supply for family purposes. The ground in frozen so hard it is next to impossible to get at the pipes to thaw them out. W. II. Robinson, of Pittsburg, was in town over Sunday. Mr. Robinson's business is to furnish the rope for the hanging of condemned criminals. It goes without saving that Mr. Robinson's visit to Rrookville at this time was to interview Sheriff Curry with reference to the gruesome business the sheriff had on hand for Tuesday morning.

We heartily commend President Theodore Roosevelt innis administration of national affairs and approve both his foreign and domes tic policies. We urge the party at large to renominate and re-elect him for a second term, We commend the administration at Harris burg foi its wise, patriotic and business lik< conduct of state atTairs. We commend Hon. W. O. Smith for hi* course in Congress and hereby ratify the vot< at the primaries and pledge him our suppori in securing the nomination and re-election foi a second term. In this connection we ask tlx other counties in this congressional districts unite with us. Mr. Smith has had exceptions training in legislative matters and is especial hr well equinned for the duties of this high of flee. We believe it to be the best Interest o the district at large as well as tp the state tha he be returned to the national legislature. Mr. William 8.
