The Express, nobly performing a
conscientious duty to its ers,
points with unerring accuracy, and
with admirable frankness, to the vul-
nerable point in this pro amend-
ment when it declares that “it may
be dominated by the politicians,”
meaning the appointment of election
officers. That possibility ought to be
reason enough why amendment num-
ber seven should receive the “No” of
every man who believes in safeguard.
ng the ballot against any further
ical collusion and consequent de-
ent. And then, too, the opinion
of the Express. is so yen refreshing
when compared with the incompatible
expressions of some of the machine-
dominated Republican newspapers in
this section of the state.
Figures Indicate Democratic Victory.
More than 450,000 votes were cast in
this state for William Jennings Bryan,
Democratic candidate for president.
These votes were practically all cast
by Democrats. It may be assumed that
there are now that many Democrats in
the state. In 1905, 127,512 votes were
cast for William H. Berry in the Lin-
coln party column. All these voters
are supporting the Democratic ticket
this year. The full vote of the Demo-
cratic party, supplemented by the full
vote of the Lincoln party, therefore,
would give the Democratic candidates
nearly €00,000 votes.
In 1906 Edwin S. Stuart, Republican
candidate for governor, polled 501,818
votes, or about 100,000 less than the
combined strength of the Democrats
and the Lincoln party. This year there
is an absolute certainty of the full
strength of the Lincoln party vote for
the Democratic candidates. Eighty per
cent of the Democratic strength added
to this force would be within a few
thousand of the votes received by Ed-
win 8S. Stuart, easily the best and
most popular candidate the Republi-
can party has nominated for a dozen
years, while 90 per cent of the Demo-
cratic vote would agggregate consid-
erably more than his total.
Thus it will be seen that if the
Democrats are alert and just to thelr
candidates the election of their ticket
is certain this year. Sisson and Stober
will not poll near the vote cast for
Stuart. If they did the fact would
cast an aspersion upon the integrity
of the voters. On the other hand, if
the Democrats cast less than 90 per
cent of their full strength for their
admirable ticket this year the fact will
be a reflection upon their patriotism.
Democrats should see that the best
expectations with respect to their vote
is fulfilled.
Death on the Guillotine.
Sardou, in order to be present at the
exccution of Tropman in January,
1875, spent the night before with La
Roquette, the prison director. In his
description he says: “At daybreak the
guests went out upon the cold, bleak
execution place, where the guillotine
meanwhile was explaining the mechan-
ism. The basket in which the
was to drop was brought, and
looking at it 1 was horrified to
the lid arise and a human
emerge. ‘Don’t worry,’ said Deibler,
with a smile; ‘that is only my wife,
who wanted to see the execution, and
I chose the simplest way to secure a
good place for her.’” Clemenceau saw
Emile Henry decapitated on May 22,
1804, in his capacity as a journalist,
and, describing how the culprit was
dragged to the machine, strapped upon
the plank and there tortured
ing the pleasure of
knife finally ended it

Buttered Bread With His Thumb.
Cat's meat ix the only survival of a
way of serving meat that prevailed in
this country before the introduction
of forks. for it was the custom in
mediaeval times to serve roast meat ob
a spit and to pass it around the table
for each guest to cut off what he
liked, a method that did not allow one
person only to secure the carver's tit-
bits. In France one still finds chicken
livers and bacon served on small spits,
and to the Britisher it always suggests
at first sight the food of the domestic
cat. It is probable that many pecple
continued to prefer fingers to table
utensils, even after these were perfect:

certainly invented at the period when
Charles X11 chose to butter his bread
with his royal thumb.—London Chron-
icle.
The Quay statue now occupies a
niche in the corridor of the capitol at
Harrisburg, and it stands for corrup-
tion in the palace of graft. It is a
tribute to vice and a spawn of iniquity.
The law authorizing it was forced
through the legislature by political
buccaneers. The commission which
ordered it was never legally created
and the money paid for it was im-
properly drawn from the treasury. But
it may serve a useful purpose. That is
to say, as long as it remains in view it
will keep in the memory of the people
the looting operations which Quay
taught and admonish posterity against
political piracy.
Ir his speech before the Bankers’
Association at Bedford Springs the
other day State Treasurer Sheatz cor-
dially endorses the principle express-
ed in an income tax. In that he is
right. But in order to get an income
tax it will be necessary to get Mr.
Sheatz's party out of power and the
Democratic party in. The muiti-mill-
fonaires who control the Republican
party through their campaign contri
butions don't want to have their vast
incomes taxed.
Democrats who fail to qualify them-
selves to vote will deprive themselves
of an opportunity to participate in the
celebration of one of the most im-
portant Democratic victories of re-
cent vears. With J. Wood Clark in
the office of Auditor General and
George W. Kipp In that of State
Treasurer there will be such a clean
ing out of the corruption on Capital
Hill that the machine will never re-
cover.
Highest Endurable Temperature.
It is difficult to say what the bigh-
est tempernture is that a buen be-
ing can live in. In the kitchens of
some of the great hotels and in the
stokeholds of some steamships the
temperature gets to 140 or 145 de-
grees. Cooks and their helpers and
stokers bave to endure that tempera-
ture for hours at a time, and they
seem to get along pretty well. “The
hottest place perhaps where buman
beings work Is in the vulcanizing fac-
tories, where the temperature is 212,
the boiling print of water.
little while at a time, but man can ea-
dure no more.— New York Awerican:
J. Wood Clark, Democratic nominee
for Auditor General, is a son of the
late Silas M. Clark, who led the De.
mocracy of Pennsylvania as its nomi-
nee for justice of the supreme court
to victory in 1882 and the son will
perform the service this year which
his father did then.
The managers of the Democratic
can:paign this year are more confl-
dent and energetic than they have
been for a long time. There is vic
tory in the air and it inspires every
one to effort.
