EDITORIAL nENTION.
The golden trust color of the New
York Democratic State Convention
is causing 110 little thought.
The Democrats would smash the
trusts by wrecking all industries
and that would throw practically
all labor out of employment.
The Democrats declare that the
country is dangerously prosperous
aiul promise to remove that danger
in the event of their success.
As usual the Democsatic cam
paign committe has to exercise a
crpp'i.t. rlpn.l nf nom J" /»«»,/»•■•
literature, that which might do good
in the East must be kept out of the
West,
*•*
With neither a leader nor an
issue the Democracy stillhopesthat
tilings may go their way, i, e,. to
the bow-wows. They might then
have some chance of success.
Have the Democrats again scuttl
ed and left their paramount issue
to ue defeated by others? It begins
to look that way. In 1900 the
Democratic National Convention
declared "the burning issue of im
perialism, growing out ofthe Span
ish war, involving the very exist
ence of the Republic and the de
structionof our free institutions we
regard as the paramount issue of
the campaign." All through the
long session of the Congress, from
December to July last the Demo
cratic Senators discussed little else
than thi.-> paramount issue. It
mattered not what proposed legis
lation was before the Senate. Cra
mack and Teller and Culberson and
Rawlins and Pctterson and Tillman
and other Democratic leaders, hark
ed back to the paramount issue and
belabored the Administration for
destroying our free institutions and
converting the Republic of Wash
ington and JefFersor intoan Empire
with militarism for its chief corner
stone. The Congressional Record
in thousands of pages bears testi
mony to the ardor and industry of
the Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives in the cause of anti-in
perialism. The Democratic Cam
paign Book issued in August also
bears testimony that the Democratic
party was even at that late day,
loyal to their last national platform,
for more than 100 pages of that
Democratic Bible are given to the
discussions of imperialism. But
since then something has happened.
Che Democrats have again scuttl
ed and left their [taramount issue
as they did in ifcOft when they turn
ed their book on Cleveland',' free
trade record and Itegitn to cr\ for
five silver, ami in I'.MO when they
ti mil to drop il\er for auti-iiiipeial«
Imh. The Democratic orator- have
llunke ! the j>; -amount i ue and
left it to the defense of that little
hand of professional mugmumps
hejwled by Charles Francis Adams
and Carl Schurz. These chronic
malcontents are doing what they
can to save the Republic and pre
vent the crowing of Roosevelt as
Emperor, but they have as long
been engaged in saving the country
from imaginary ills that they no
longer are taken seriously even by
their friends.
But the Democratic orators are
silent. They have scuttled from
imperialism as though it were an in
fectious or contagious disease.
They have discovered that there are
American soldiers in every part of
the country who have been in the
Philippines or in Cuba or Porto
Rico and that these soldiers have a
very direct and even abrupt way of
meeting this paramount issue.
They issue rests on malicious sland
er of the army and the men who
have been connected with the Army
arc ready to resent that slander.
They are no longer soldiers but
they are citizen defenders of the
honor of the Army and the flag even
more zealous of what they fought
for than when thcv were lighting.
And what is more to the point the
men who were soldiers have the con
fidence of their neighbors and the
general public so that their direct
contradictions are enough to over
throw any inflamatory statements
of professional orators or profession
al reformers.
Still it is sad to see the Democrats
scuttling from their latest issue as
they urged the government to
scuttle from the Philippines. The
party should change its name to that
of Scuttle and Skedaddle.

Letter to B. W. (ireen.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: If you own several houses,
your reason for painting Devoe lead
and zinc should be several times as
strong as the man who owns but one.
Lead and oil was good enough paint
till the merits of zinc were found out.
It was profitable to paint lead and oil
it was then— but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes
Devoe lead and zinc last twice as long
and cost no more; costs less—a trifle less,
not much. Lead and oil is mixed by
hand; Devoe lead and zinc by machin
ery. Might as well make one,s skirts
by hand as mix paints Say it costs
SIOO a house a paint lead and oil; and it
leats three years.
Say it costs thesame for Devoe; which
lasts six years—it will last ten years, in
favorable conditions, unless you want
to repaint to change the color.
The costs; lead and oil about S3O a
year; Devoe sls—probably less.

(To the memory of Geo. H. Dickenson who was
instantly killed in a nitro-glycerine explosion on
Sept. 3rd, 1902, atlEmporium, I'a.)
Midst mountainous hills so, wild and drear,
X place from which one shrinks in fear,
The factory building stood.
T'was there he toiled for his daily bread,
Ambitious, striving to forge ahead;
Our, Brother kind and good.
Though mindful of the many dangers, grave;
From wliich no human power could ever save
Should mishap him befall;
He labored on, hoping for the best;
Planning soon to leave; but he's now at rest.
He's gone beyond recall.
Ne'er would he leavc.God willed it otherwise
For a great explosion rent the very skies,
Tore deep the mountain side.
Dismembering him. in one brief moments time;
A cruel feteln manhoods early prime;
T'was thus our brother died.
Without time for prayer. No kith or kin
Nor loved ones near, to cheer and comfort him,
lie died in that lonely gorge.
Ne'er more to see his children or his wife;
Ushered into the world of the eternal life;
Our brother, Brother George.
To family and to friends both true and kind
His duty to his God, he kept in mind.
And strove to do his best.
Beloved by all. Now that his life is oe'r
Let's prav to God, that hence for evermore.
Our brother's with the blest.

LABOR LEADERS
ATTACK PATTISON
Knights of Labor Publish Him as
the Foe of Workingmen.
VETOED THE EDUCATIONAL BILL
He Is Also Charged By Them With
Helping to Form the Coal Trust De
spite the Protests of Railroad Men.
An Article That Is Attracting At
tention.
(Prom a Special Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 7. Not only is
organized labor in Pennsylvania op
posing the election of Robert E. Patti*
ion, but laboring men all over the coun
try appear to be keeping a very close
eye on the outcome of the Pennsylvania
campaign. The Itnights of • Labor in
particular are fighting Ex-Governor
Pattison by every means In their
power.
The last issue of"The Journal," the
official organ of the Knights of Labor,
contained a page article from the pen
of John W. Hayes, general secretary
treasurer of the order. It is a direct
attack upon Ex-Governor Pattison for
his hostility to laboring men and labor
unions while he was governor before.
The article goes onto prove that Mr.
Pattison is an enemy to popular edu
cation as shown in his vetoing of the
Compulsory Education Bill when he sat
in the executive chair. Mr. Hayes in
his article on Pattisoa's hostility to
education says:
VETOED EDUCATIONAL BILL.
"The legislative committee of the or
ganization (Knights of Labor) had
this matter before it for consideration.
A bill was prepared and introduced,
juggled with for some time, and altered
and amended, but finally passed both
houses of the legislature. True it was
not all that we desired; but it was a
bill that, once a law could be amended
from time to time until all that was
desired in the way of a good law had
been secured. In this, as in all former
cases, Pattison was pleaded with to
sign the bill as it came from the legis
lature. But in this he was obdurate.
His interest in having children at the
coal breakers instead of in the school
room was paramount and he vetoed
the bill."
The general master workman of the
Knights of Labor writing at this time
on the action of Governor Pattison
said:
"If Governor Pattison could have
traveled through the state and loitered
bj me roa.i-oiue ue might have
heard the hiss of the serpent that is
coiling itself around children of the
poor and fastening its poisonous fangs
upon the vitals of the commonwealth.
Whether he knew it or not his action
pleased those who would make the chil
dren of men hewers of wood and draw
ers of water until oblivion, which
comes only through drink or death,
which would ease the strain."
In an editorial in"The Journal of the
Knights of Labor" the following ap
pears:
WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING.
"Ex-Governor Pattison is again a
candidate for governor of Pennsyl
vania, and the question of his fitness,
his honesty, and his friendship for the
cause of the toiler is to be weighed and
deckled by the voters, and especially
by those voters who are workingmen.
When he was last a candidate for the
same important office, he had the
strong support of organized labor and
was elected, and he failed us in our
hour of need!
"He is the sponsor for the coal trust
and was at its baptism, and he probably
still favors it in the prolonged strike
now proceeding.
"Every friend of labor and those who
exist by the well doing of the toilers
•hould be united in one phalanx against
the coal combine. They are united to
crush organized labor, and all who love
fair play and fair pay must unite
against them and those who side with
them.
FAVORED THE COAL TRUST.
"Judging the present by the past, it is
fair to assume that Pattison is a side
partner of the coal combine, or, at all
events, is favorable to it, as he was in
1891-2. He evidently favored the coal
barons then, in spite of his oath to sup
port the constitution of the state of
Pennsylvania, which was nullified
when the combine was organized, and
the fact was officially called to his at
tention. He was furnished with evi
dence and maps showing iliat compe
tition was being wiped out and the law,
which was quoted, evaded and dis
obeyed.
"President Roosevelt said in an in
terview, published in tlie Philadelphia
Record, Sept. G, 1902, Hint 'There is a
remedy' for the settlement of the great
coal strike. This is doubtless true, for
the presiuent must be well informed on
the legal and political aspect of the
strike. What chance would there IK*
to end a strike if Pattison was gover
nor or one that might occur durln his
term of office? If the «oal barons wimt
•d to «<nd It, Putt! on would surely b<*
en hand to obey their desire .

Bury him under such an avalanche oi
ballots that his name will never be
whispered again in either state oi
national politics."
The above is the severest arraign
ment by labor leaders of any candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania in receni
years, and is attracting general atten
tion in every centre of organized laboi
in the country.
