Dr. Colfelt Tells of
Rotten Political Deals
AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
By Rev. L. M. Colfelt. D. D.
While at State College a “call” was
tendered me by the North Congrega-
tional church, Cambridge, Mass.
should have preferred to accept ow-
ing to its contiguity to Harvard Uni-
versity, the scholarly atmosphere and
the inspiration of a student audience.
But the great distance from my moth-
er in her declining years decided my
acceptance of a call to the pastorate
of Oxford Presbyterian church, Phila-
delphia, for the second time. The in-
terregnum of but a few years had
wrought a great change in the for-
tunes of the church. Great losses
had been experienced by the death of
many active parishioners. Many of
the young people had moved to the
suburbs into cheaper and more up-to-
date homes. The incoming residents
did not have Presbyterian predilec-
tions. The apartment system attract-
ed a class of but temporary occupants
of 'little value for up-building and
maintenance of a healthy church for
which families permanently settled in
their own homes are essential. The
bicycle, also, was much in evidence,
luring multitudes on Sabbath days to
the parks and green fields. The work
consequently was far more exacting
than in my first pastorate, indeed took
on the aspect and proportions of a
“down town” church. But by assidu-
ous labor the breaches were repaired
and an old time appearance of pros-
perity became in evidence. In the
brief pastorates preceding a deficit
in running expenses and a floating
debt of $12,000 had accumulated.
This was liquidated and a surplus of
$3000 was subscribed at a single Sab-
bath morning’s service. Thus for a
period of seven years longer the work
went on apace. It was at this period
that a good Citizenship Society was
formed in the church to aid in the
work of practicable political reform.
Meanwhile conditions had been be-
coming quite intolerable in City and
State under the system of Boss Rule
and the Choice of Candidates by the
Convention System.
Power was slipping into the hands
of the few and the ballot. box was
no longer a free expression of the
popular will, but a mere register of
the decrees of political bosses. The
system of petty bosses proving too
widely distributed, slow in action, and
expensive, was superceded by the Sys-
tem of the Senatorial boss who was
not merely the Political Dictator but
the Lobbyist in the United States
Senate Chamber and in the State
Legislature, watchful of the interests
of the railroads, the Standard Oils
and the telegraphs, and who was em-
powered to draw vouchers directly up-
on the Treasury of the great compan-
jes for the purposes of “Addition,
Division. and Silence.” It had come
‘to pass that not a member of coun-
cils in the pivotal cities, not a State
Legislator, not a State Senator, not a
‘County Judge, Common Pleas Judge,
not a member of the Superior Court
or the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, not a Congressman, could be
chosen unless persona grata with the
great Corporations. Even the organ-
ization of the City Councils, and the
Legislature, and the composition of
the several committees, were dictated
and controlled by these secret influ-
ences. Free Passes were shoveled
out adlibitum and this form of petty
bribery flourished to such a degree
that Sewickley furnished the example
of some 200 commuters out of 225
traveling daily to Pittsburgh on pass-
es. Many a night on the 11:30 p. m.
train from Philadelphia and Wash-
ington to my home have T been the
sole passenger in the car that trav-
eled on a paid ticket. The debauchery
of Pennsylvania politics was almost
‘complete. Attempts to restore gov-
ernment “of the people, by the peo-
ple and for the people,” were fre-
quently made through independent
movements but all proved abortive.
“The venal elements of the Democratic
Party, in the great cities, were al-
ways in the hour of need at the beck
and call of the Republican Organ-
ization leaders. Subsidized as they
were by unlimited funds for political
expenses, drawn from Corporations
which could continue the supply in-
definitely at the expense of stock-
‘holders, the sporadic movements for
reform, even ‘if successful, for the
nioment, could not be permanently fi-
nanced owing to Timited resources and
waning public interest. Thus all the
Independent movements, all the coali-
tions, failed of their purpose and the
virus of corruption nenetrated deeper
and deeper into the heart of the body
politic. How far had.the demoraliza-
tion gone may be ‘illustrated by an in-
cident that came within my personal
knowledge.
General Hastings, then Governor,
had a clear majority of the joint body
of the Lgislature pledged to vote for
him for U..S. Senator and the formal-
‘ity only of the actual vote remained.
He was clearly the candidate of the
free, untrammeled choice of the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania because of his
distinguished services to the State.
The day before the election a few of
his political foes visited Harrisburg
and informed the Arch Manipulator
of the Legislature that they were not
reconciled to the choice of Hastings
and wanted Mr. Boies Penrose to be
chosen. He answered that *it was too
late. Mr. Hastings was the favorite
and it would ‘take a sum of money
to change the sitnation.” They ask-
ed, “How much would be required.”
“One Hundred and sixty Thousand
dollars,” was the reply, “and the cash
must be on hand tonight.” One of the
party went at once, 2ot the one hun-
dred and sixty thousand in New York,
handed it over to the party in ques-
tion and the next day Mr. Penrose was
chosen Senatcr, and doubtless Gener-
al Hastings never knew how the will
of the people was thwarted and his
defeat assured. 1 am not relating
rumor but the certain fact, as it was
given me one quiet Sabbath evening
in his home in Lancaster. county by
the man who went to New York, se-
cured the money, carried it in per-
son to Harrisburg and delivered it to
the chief actor. Furthermore, the
wheel within the wheel, he assured
me, the price exacted by those who
supplied the money was the nomina-
ation of Mr. James Hay Brown for
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
and he was empowered to be the mes-
senger, and did so act in bearing the
tidings to Mr. Brown of the decision
to name him for that high office. I
have not the slightest doubt that Mr.
James Hay Brown was an honorable
gentleman, an upright Judge, entire-
ly oblivious to the Secret Spirngs that
governed his selection, and would
have been the first to repudiate and
reject with scorn an office that had to
be attained by any unbecoming means
on his part.
Another incident to the point is
that of a dying State Leader who,
knowing his end was near, sent for
a distinguished personal friend, in-
formed him that he had spent nearly
a half million in defense of the State
organization and had given his own
personal notes to cover the indebted-
ness, which were discounted by Banks
of State Deposit, and as the money
had been used for party exigencies
and not for his personal expenses it
did not seem fair to his family that
his estate should be depleted by the
payments of these notes and his fam-
ily reduced to comparative penury.
The visitor gave his sacred promise
that the matter would receive his at-
tention. The sum was divided be-
tween several great corporations, the
notes paid and the quid pro quo was
that Philander C. Knox should be the
next Senator. He was catapulted in-
to the United States Senate, doubt-
less entirely ignorant of the forces
that upheaved him. He was an em-
inently fit man, a vast improvement
mentally upon the staple U. S. Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania and a man
whose personal honor was without
question. But he and the people of
Pennsylvania had no more to do with
his selection and election than the in-
habitants of Mars. It was not al-
ways that the manipulators of poli-
ties kept within their own ranks in
choosing occupants of high offices.
They often went outside the sacred
circle and chose men of the highest
attainments and respectability, but
always with the intent that these men
should not soil themselves with prac-
tical politics, be content with the hon-
ors of their position and permit their
creators to divide their political rai-
ment and distribute the spoils of office.
Thus it has been not unusual that the
greatest scandals in the history of the
Commonwealth have burst forth dur-
ing the incumbency of men of the
highest reputation for honesty and
good character, as for example the
State Capitol Scandal under Governor
Pennypacker, when four millions were
spent for the paltry furnishings of
the building right under his judicial
nose. Square Timber Noyes furnish-
ed another illuminating example.
These illustrations, and others as
savory that can be multiplied, prove
that the Convention . System had
grown a fearful harvest and Penn-
sylvania was fast becoming a polit-
ical stench in the nostrils of the na-
tion, a by word and a hissing. So
far had this proceeded that the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania were no longer quoted
with respect by the legal representa-
tives of the Courts in other States by
reason of the corporate influences
governing their deliverance.
These things began to burden my
conscience. Of course I was a preach-
er, but first and last I was a citizen
of my State and I could not bear to
sit supine with folded hands and let
my State go to perdition, politically,
the while I laid this unction to my
soul, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?”
I must do something, but what could
a preacher do? I could’witness for
political righteousness on suitable oc-
casions, which I never neglected to
do, and those who followed my min-
istry will bear me witness that I was
never a dumb dog that dared not to
bark. But the burden was heavy on
my soul and I determined to make
my poor contribution to the public
weal by publishing a newspaper de-
voted to political house cleaning.
To give my readers a glimpse of
the mood of the moment at that junc-
ture, in conferring with Mr. John
Wannamaker, upon the situation, I
said, “If just one newspaper in this
city but dared to speak out the whole
truth, these things could not exist.”
He answered “I do not know anything
in which a man could lose money so
fast or in such vast sums as in com-
mercializing a newspaper that ran
counter to the prevailing public sen-
timent.” I rejoined, I am too poor
to attempt such a thing in this city
(Philadelphia), no use anyhow be-
cause the fetish of Tariff will always
coerce its citizens into submitting to
any amount of incidental ills for the
sake of its maintenance. When Jesus
of Nazareth wanted to start his move-
ment for the Reformation of Man-
kind, He did not choose Jerusalem as
His povital center, whose people were
bound hand and foot by Tradition,
Education, Habit, Sacerdotal and po-
litical interest, wherein no man dared
to call his soul his own. He chose the
mountains of Galilee, where men were
too poor to be worth considering,
where there were no interests to
coerce them and they could afford to
be independent. And so among fish-
ermen and the humble folk of Galilee,
after 30 years, he found eleven men
who could think for themselves and
with them He “turned the world up-
side down.” So I declared I am going
to the mountains, to Bedford at the
foothills of the Alleghenies, and found
a semi weekly newspaper, and em-
bark on a campaign of popular edu-
action, and contribute my mite to pull-
ing down the strongholds of political
cormption. No doubt Mr. Wanamak-
er thought me an enthusiast and a
visionary. None the less. he dismissed
me with a hearty God Speed.

FARM NOTES.
i
—Wait until alfalfa is in full bloom
before cutting if a long stand of the |
legume is desired. Where alfalfa is |
grown in the rotation and the field is
to be plowed next year the first crop |
may be cut just as it starts to bloom.
—Alfalfa is not one of the 208 host
plants included in the menu of the
European corn borer. Many farmers
who have been planning to plant al-
falfa for years have a good reason
now for delaying no longer.
—If corn for grain must be replant-
ed, use. an early variety, say farm
crops specialists for the Pennsylvania
State College. The ordinary varie-
ties which require the.full season in
your section will not have time to ma-
ture.
—Special attention is required by
the young foal. Keep him in a box
stall, darkened for protection from
flies. The stall should be clean and
well-bedded. A handful of oats, a
bucket of fresh water, and some good
legume hay for the foal will relieve
the strain on the mare. Milk the mare
a little when she comes in from work
and let cool off some before the foal
gets his meal. Turn both out on pas-
ture at night.
—Ducks are not more difficult to
raise than chickens. Expensive build-
ings and equipment are unnecessary.
They do just as well in the cheaply
constructed, low buildings, the main
feature being that they have a com-
fortable place in which to stay during
cold and stormy weather. Plenty of
dry litter should be provided. No
roosts are required and no nests. The
eggs are dropped anywhere on the
litter, and generally just before day-
light. 5
—Watch the hoofs of all the sheep
to see that they are kept pared away.
On stony, rocky soil the feet do not
need as much attention as on soft or
loamy soils.
Keep the sheep dry under foot at
all times and never allow the wool to
become water-soaked, especially dur-
ing a season when the weather is like-
ly to be cold and cloudy. This is es-
pecially important during the winter
season but deserves attention even
during the summer.
—Most important of all cultiva-
tions is the first working of the pota-
to crop. The ridge left by the plant-
er should be leveled with the harrow
and the field should be harrowed sev-
eral times between a week after plant-
ing and when the potatoes are large
enough to cultivate. Where the soil
is loose the weeder may do the work
but where rain has packed the soil
the spike-tooth harrow is the imple-
ment to use. This early working when
thoroughly done will eliminate the
need of a hoe for the remainder of the
season.
—Alfalfa or clover hay with .3 to .4
pounds of tankage and .8 to 1.2 pounds
of corn proved an excellent combina-
tion for brood sows in winter feeding
tests at the Ohio experiment station,
The leguminous hay, replacing part
of the grain, supplies needed bulk to
the ration and has a desirable laxa-
tive effect. It is also beneficial be-
cause of the protein, mineral, and
vitamine content. Bright green, leafy
alfalfa proved best.
By feeding the uncut hay in slatted
racks, covéred to exclude rain and
snow, the sows will be induced to
take the exercise which is essential
to the production of thrifty pigs.
—Various homemade mineral mix-
tures are recommended for pigs. The
Purdue experiment station has had
good success with the following: Ten
pounds acid phosphate, ten pounds
wood ashes and one pound of salt.
The Ohio experiment station recom-
mends the following as very satisfac-
tory: Two pounds of ground lime-
stone, two pounds bone meal and one
pound of salt. The Iowa station rec-
ommends: Twenty pounds salt, forty
pounds bone meal, forty pounds
ground limestone, and one-third ounce
of potassium iodide. Either of these
mixtures will give good results under
ordinary conditions.
—Although sheep raising heretofore
has perhaps been subjected to greater
vicissitudes than any other branch of
animal husbandry, the long-time pros-
pect for the sheep men appears favor-
able. This is the view of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which says the tendency in sheep
raising should be toward greater
permanence and profits.
Unquestionably, says the depart-
ment, there will again be periods of
overproduction and underproduction
in sheep raising. It declares, however,
that various factors are coming into
operation which will tend to lessen the
violence of these ups and downs. One
of the most important is the fact that
the sheep industry has emerged from
the pioneer stage, and can no longer
be shunted off to the poorest lands,
but must have a definite place in the
agricultural scheme. In many places
sheep have already come down off the
rocks and are occupying valuable land
and consuming high-priced feed.
Another favorable influence on the
sheep industry is the growth of popu-
lation in the United States. This is
taking place at the rate of 13 per
cent. per annum. A substantial in-
crease in lamb and mutton produc-
tion will be required to meet the re-
sulting increased demand, even if
there is no increase in per capita con-
sumption. Moreover, urban popula-
tion is increasing more rapidly than
the country’s population as a whole,
and it is in the urban centers that
sheep men find their chief markets
for lamb and mutton.
It seems inevitable, says the depart-
ment, that lamb and mutton con-
sumption in the United States will in-
crease materially. Our per capita
consumntion at the present time is
only 5.5 nounds. This is insignificant
compared with England’s 25 to 27
pounds, and is low even when com-
pared with Canada’s 9 pounds. A
moderate increase in our per capita
consumption of lamb and mutton |
would mean a vastly increased market
for the leading product of the sheep
industry. There is every prospect,
says the department, that lamb and
mutton will work out of the specialty
or luxury class in which they now
stand, and will take their place in the
list of meat necessities.
Odd Maze of Words
Applied to Costume
Near the close of the Eighteenth
century, in France, some mysterious,
seml-poetical name was bestowed on
every kind of dress fabric, trimming :
and cut. The following description of
the costume of a famous actress-cour-
tesan {8 an example:
“She was attired in a robe of stifled
sighs, adorned with superfluous re-
grets, the point edged with perfect
candor, trimmed with indiscreet com-
plaints. She wore ribbons of marked
attentions, and shoes of the color of
the queen’s hair (Marie Antoinette’s)
embroidered with diamonds in treach-
erous stripes. Above ber curls of ele-
vated sentiments was a head-dress of
certain conquest, trimmed wi‘h fickle
feathers, while over her shoulders fell
an Absalom tress of momentary ag!
tation.”
All that reads like gibberish today
yet it was perfectly understood by the
great ladies of 1709.—Detroit News.
System Failed
The mother looked weary. “Trying
to be too efficient,” she said. “I laid
down the law that every member of
the family was to be efficient. They
were to look after all their own per
sonal matters.
“If father’s suit needed pressing he
was to take it to the tailor’s himself
and he was to tramp to the laundry
with his collars. Son was to put his
own buttons on his shirts and keep
hig chiffonier in order. Daughter was
to wash her own silk stockings, tak~
her own shoes to the cobbler's.
“And so on, each member of the
family was to do for himself. And
why am I so weary? Because they all
flunked it after the first day or two,
and now I am putting in hurried hours
trying to catch up with the things
they left undone.”—Springfield Union
Old Sport Is Fishing
Who discovered fishing? The an-
swer to that particular query is lost
In the mists of prehistoric times. The
technique in ancient days varied lit-
tle, it seems, from that of today. On
the walls of Egyptian tombs have
been discovered crude drawings of
fishing scenes, proving that even in
the days of the pharaohs fishing was
not only an occupation but also a
sport. The Egyptians of the lower
classes are shown employing the hook
and line to land their catch, while
sportsmen of the Nile preferred the
spear or trident.
.q.. . Sure Proof to Father
+1'If there is no royal road to learn-
ing, there is at least a flowery path
for the modern youngster, in the minds
of an older generation which links
inseparably a memory of enforced
restraint with the three R's. A young
couple was discussing the progress of
their small sen at one of the modern
schools which leans toward self-ex-
pression, individual freedom and
other advanced theories. “Well, 1 can’t
believe he’s learning much,” said the
father meditatively. “He likes his
school too well.”
Snakes Sing in Australia
Singing snakes are among the un-
usual inhabitants of Australia, accord-
Ing to a correspondent of the Sydney
Bulletin. “The other day during a
heat wave at Goulburn I was outside
my house and heard a peculiar noise—
between a bird sonz and a whistle,”
he said. “Thinking it came from some
strange bird, I went to investigate
snd found a brown snake coiled, with
its head about a fcot in the air, sing-
ing away as if it were enjoying the
heat. Its ballad wags cut short.”
Prepared
An aged Scotsman was on his death-
bed. His parish ciergyman urged upon
him the necessity of preparing for
the future life, and spoke of the near
approach of the time when he would
have to appear be ore the “King of
Terrors.” “Weel, weel,” reptied the
old Scot, “an what for should I be
afraid to meet the king of terrors?
Have I not lived with the qued of
them for the last 30 years?’—Detroit
Free Press.
No One Immune From
Doctors Cury and Bohec have an
Interesting article on seasickness in
Esculape (a medical journal). Oddly
enough, very few of the ancient writ-
ers seems to have concerned them-
selves with the affliction ; neither Pla-
to nor Aristotle makes any allusion to
it. On the other hand, the ocean was
considered a sovereign panacea for all
sorts of ills.
Plutarch, however, mentions sea:
sickness, which he attributes to fear,
and it is sufficiently evident that our
remote forefathers were not immune.
In this connection it may be recalled
that, according to Seneca, Cicero,
prince of orators, fleeing the wrath of
Antony and his wife, Flava, whom he
had attacked in his “Philippics,” took
refuge on board a ship and decided,
when the vessel had put to sea, that
ae would rather surrender to the exe-
cutioner than endure the torments of
seasickness. He was put ashore and
assassinated near Formiae.—From Le
Matin, Paris. (Translated for the
Kansas City Star).
Must Attend College or Normal
School.
This is the last year that High
School graduates will be allowed un-
der the school code of Pennsylvania,
to teach in the public schools of the
State following graduation and at-
tendance at summer schools.
After this year requirements will
include attendance at normal schools
or college. The new ruling will not
effect teachers who have already
started on their work teward a stand-
ardization of form as required by the
State. They may proceed with their
work until they obtain the certificate
desired.
County teachers will attend sum-
mer school this year and they will in-
clude new teachers, also teachers who
are taking advanced work as required
by the State to reach a higher stand-
ardization. :
