Last Word to His Party. Return to Genuine Ocmocralic Ooclrino, Said Cleveland. Writing under date of March IS, the late ex-PreMdetit Cleveland ser.t the following letter as his last message to the Democratic party: "I have received your letter ask ing me to make a response to the following question: 'What is the best principle and what is the best policy to give the Democratic party new life ?' "As a general proposition I might answer this nuestion bv savinc that in my opinion this could be most surely brought about by a return to genuine Democratic doctrine and a close adherence to the Democratic policies which in times past gav.- our party success and benefitted our people. ' I o be more specific in my reply I should say that more than ever, just at this time, the Democratic party should display honest and sincere conservatism, a regard for constitutional limitations and a de termination not to be swept from our moorings by temporary clamor or spectacular exploitatipn. "Our people need rest and peace and reassurance; and it will be quite in line with true Democracy and successful policy to impress upon our fellow couutrvmen the fact that Democracy still stands for those tilings." Gray Won't Accept Democratic Norn ination for Vice President. Federal Judge George Gray will not under any conditions accent the Democratic nomination for vice picsiiieiu. ciennue annouuee cient to this effect was made by former Congressman L. Irving Handy, who will make the speech at Denver placing the judge in nomination for the presidency, which task he performed four years ago. Y hen Mr. Handy was asked regarding tue acceptance by Mr Bryan of a suggestion of W. B. Brinton, of Dixon, 111., that Judge Gray be his running mate, he said: "Judge Gray would not consider the nomination of vice president on the ticket with Mr Bryan or with any other presidential candidate. If the Denver convention should nom inate him for this office he would immediately decline the .honor and somebody else would have to be named. The judge would look up on the office of vice president as a place with all of the deprivations of a. convent and none of the cou- solations of religion." Tradition and the flag. Betsy Ross has been assassinated by the Historical Sites Committee of Philadelphia. "The storv is nothing but a foolish tradition," says the committee in refusing to mark the I'etsy Ross house. Poor Betsy Ross ! However, she's in good company. Moderns don't believe Paul Revere could sit a horse. Valley Forge was really quite a comfortable resort. John Paul Jones never said, "I have just begun to fight" he was too busy fighting. "Don't give up the ship" has no historic credence. Farra gut would have scorned to say, "Damn the torpedoes go ahead." What Dewey said to Gridley was, "Soak 'em good." Betsy Ross, Moll Pitcher and Barbara Frietchie traditions? Per haps, but not "foolish traditions." There is no such thing as a foolish tradition of patriotism. And eveu if we lose the legend - we have the flag. New York American, Millions Worth of Vegetables. Pennsylvania produces over $15,- 000,000 worth of vegetables annu ally. Only one other state makes a better showing in the value of gar den products.

The National Grange Bank con vention, held last Thursday at Troy, Pa., was attended by 150 delegates, including prominent men from all parts of Pennsylvania and many from New York state points. United States Treasurer Charles II. Treat was to have been present but was unavoidably detained. His address was rend by Lecturer Dor sett, of Mansfield, Pa., and was lis tened to with grent interest. It was a comprehensive study of bank ing affairs, with especial reference to grange banks. An important proposition was broached during the day the for mation of a central grange organi zation to promote grange banks wherever there appears to be a field for them. The plan carries with it a provision to offer to the residents 111 each place the first opportunity to buy stock. A representative of the central organization would be sent in each instance to take charge of the organization of the grange bank to be formed under the direc tion of the central organization. While no definite action was taken, the scheme was very favorably re ceived, as it is expected to open up a great banking field The grange banks were reported without an exception to be doing a safe and profitable business. Among the prominent Pennsyl vania grange bankers present were Hon. John G. McIIenry, of Ben ton, superintendent of the state grange banks, and W. F. Hill, of Huntingdon, master of the State Grange.

They waltz, march, maneuvre. walk erect on their hind feet, cavort and obey every wink, nod or wish of their skillful trainer, and deport them selves in a way that would drive the horse set wild with envy. Beet and Buncombe. The followintr taken from th Philadelphia Record will, barring its political bearincr. be annrerintprl by every beef consumer who reads it: It was on Thursday, June 18th, mat the .Republican party, in na tional convention assembled, unit. ted the platform declaration that me great accomplishments of President Roosevelt have been first and foremost . . . the oroseentinn of illegal trusts and monopolies. . . the amelioration of the condition of wage workers everywhere," etc. It was on Thursday, June 18th, that the Beef Trust, at a time when the price of beef cattle on the hoof had declined in the markets in which it buys, emitted a new schedule of prices, marking up dressed beef from one to two aud a half cents a pound, thereby compelling the wage workers whose condition bns been "ameliorated" to pay from two to nve cents a pound more for their cuts of beef, accordi their preference.

No panic that has ever disturbed the industrial life of this country has been like this one, a prominent business man was heard to remark, the other day. Other panics were preceded by industrial paralysis, crop failure or calamity of some sort. This one, however, came iu the midst of plenty and in a season of abundance. The soil was gener ous in its yield and industry was reaping a liberal harvest every where. It differs from others in another respect, he added. The lnrdships of other such events have been mitigated by lowered prices. But in this case while industry con tinues in a state of paralysis the prices of all the necessaries of life continue to increase. The reasons for tbese differences are obvious. In the first place this panic is the result of artificial rath er than natural causes. During the recent session of Congress a com mittee representing the American manufacturers visited Washington to urge a reduction of the tariff tax rates. In nddress before the Speak er of the House and the committee on Ways and Means, the president of that association, Mr. Van Cleave, stated that the consumers of tiiis country were being robbed to the extent of one million dollars a day by excessive charges for necessary products, as a result of too high tariff schedules. That money, he added, went into the treasuries of the trusts. This burdensome tax upon indus try created the fund which was per verted by trust magnates for spscu lative uses and the present high prices for necessities are the conse quence of paying interest aud divi dends on watered bonds and stocks which are the evil results of the impoverishment of the people by excessive taxation The remedy is in a complete and radical change in the policies of the government and such change can only be achiev ed by defeating the party responsi ble for the condition. The Repub lican party had absolute control of every department of the govern ment during the last twelve years. That party is respousible lor the evil and should be rebuked.

Goudy, a Middletown carpenter, has sued the Central Pennsylvania Traction company because he was struck by lightning on April 18. He claims that he was on a car aud that owing to the failure of the company to provide lightning arresters, a bolt hit the car and knocked him off the seat. In falling he alleges he struck on his left arm aud was incapacitated for three weeks. He now claiirS he suffers from a weakened heart due to the shock. The suit is the first of the kind known iu the state. Lackawanna county has one j woman officeholder, and, best of all, she is considered one of the best in the business, if officeholding can be called a business, and many believe it can.

The Democratic Convention will meet soon at Denver, to nominate the candidate for President. With the Republican candidate already chosen, the campaign will shortly begin in earnest. Naturally, until the curtain final ly goes down in November, things will be uumming politically: many interesting things will be done and said; and many interesting person alities will appear on the stage of ureater American Politics. It behooves the unbiased news paper reader, the spectator of this stirring political drama, regardless of his political faith, to have a com plete view of the stage; a thing that The Philadelphia Record ena bles every reader to have. 7 he Record is a Democratic news paper, and it speaks well for its in dependence and reliability that in a Republican stronghold it enjoys the confidence of a large Republi can clientele, in addition to its thou sands of Democratic subscribers. Reasous for this are not far to seek. It is due to the excellent news service furnished in 755 Rec ord, This year the coniDleteness and reliability of the campaign news will be fully up to the mark established in former presidential years and any regular reader can tell you what that means. There may be some doubts as to the next choice for President, but there is no question at all that 2 he Daily and Sunday Record receives the votes as Philadelphia's favorite newspaper.
