the Standard Oil company
»ln«( a partner In an oil trust,
* far as It »p>as, is quite as much
of a public menace as is the Rockefeller
trust. He has been condemned for fail
ure to appreciate the Christian spirit
evinced in the maintenance of the Sab
bath. he has been weakened by the at
tacks that have been made upon him
for accepting rebates from the rail
roads, while proclaiming to the world
his unalterable opposition to the sys
tem which has been denounced by
every Republican orator that has ap
peared upon the platform during the
present campaign, and ho has shown a
personal weakness in meeting such
issues, that have, in the opinion of
many, practically put him out of the
race for the governorship.
Homer L. Castle, the Prohibition
candidate for governor, accentuated the
issue of "the Church vs. the Brewery,"
in his speech delivered recently in Har
rlsburg, when he said:
"I must insist that Mr. Emery is not
fit to be the governor of this state, be
rause his mental ideals are low and tre
mendously warped. He sits down in
cold blood and writes a letter to a
man, in which he i>uts the church and
the school house and the hospital on a
parity with a brewery. Just think
of it!
As to the Church.
"The church, which, aside from the
home, is the only institution which
has Divine sanction and ordination.
"The church, which has stood for
these ages as the sign present of God
witli man.
"The church, into whose life has been
poured the thoughts of the best men
ttnd women that have ever lived.
"The church, for whose life so many
men have laid down theirs and wil
lingly surrendered ail they had and
were, that it might have life.
"The church, whose spires point the
mariner on life's sea the way to the
better.
"The church, into whose portals you
and I went as boys, and where first the
minister of God laid his hands in bles
sing on our heads.
"The church, where our names were
enrolled and where every Sabbath we
meet and catch a fre3h breath from the
atmosphere of higher life.
"The church, to whose altar you and
I led the woman who became part and
parcel of our lives, and heard the min
ister say, 'Whom God hath joined to
gether let no man put asunder.'
"The church, through whose door
we carried for the last time the body
of a sainted mother.
"The church, that comes to the bed
side as all things terrestrial seems to
recede from us, :md touching our fad
ing eyesight, makes us to see glories
beyond. This church is no better, in
the ideas of Lewis Emery, than a brew
ery, and I am not objecting to Mr.
Emery's ideals.
"Some have said that he Is honest
when he makes these statements. Let
that stand for the fact, and his very
honesty makes him the more ineligi
ble as the governor of a Christian com
monwealth.
"The objection that I urge to him ia
not that he believes that the church
and the brewery are upon a level, but
that the man who does believe that
ought not to be foremost in a Chris
tian commonwealth.
"We have in this state approxi
mately 5000 ministers of that church;
we have at least 5,000,000 attendants
upon the public services of that church,
and. to p#t it In the parlance of the
street, I say it is up to that church to
demonstrate by declining to support
Mr. Emery, that it does not believe that
It Is a fact that they are no better than
the brewery."
Mr. Castle then gave testimony as
to the great work of the public schools
and the hospitals of the common
wealth, which, he said, Mr. Emery had,
with the church, linked in the same
category of the breweries.
He recounted a story about Mr. Em
cry making a speech on a Sunday at a
gathering of Italians, "where beer
flowed freely," and on this point he
said, among other things: "I do not ask
Mr. Emery to reverence the Christian
Sabbath day. I do not insist that he
shall go to church; I do not even insist
that he shall not attend Italian brawls,
but I do insist that the man who does
that is not fit to be governor of a
Christian commonwealth.
"Beyond the peradventure of a doubt,
it Is the duty of the church to take a
hand in this tight, not alone for the
maintenance of its own honor, but for
the maintenance of the honor of the
country."
Emery's Oil Trust.
Mr. Castle then discussed at length
Mr. Emery's business operations, de
tlarlng that the Pure Oil company,
With which he had been identified, if
as much ot a trust In its way as is the
Standard Oil company.
Upon this point, among other things,
he said:
"I have said, furthermore, that Mr.
Emery is not sincere in his opposition
to the present Republican reign. It i 3
known that Mr. Emery has as his part
ners in the Pure Oil Company such men
as McNichol, Durham and Mack. Mr.
Emery has been repeatedly asked to
show the people of this state the books
where these nsea paid (it they ever did
pay) for the stock which they hold. He
has been asked to tell what relations
this stock has to the New Jersey legis
lative manipulations aad the Pennsyl
vania legislature; heretofore, sa far ai
I know, he hae never given aav reply
to this. If ke doee not tell th2f mieer
able story, I will toil it ia due Usm.
"It is of very recent date that he hai
opposed Senator Penrose. I am reliably
informed that about the time thai
Judge Stewart declined to he the Re
publican candidate, Mr. Salary, In oom
paay with Mr. Woodbury, of Schuyl
kill county, and some others, visited
Senator Penrose In Washington nod
undertook to make a deal with him."
Mr. Emory has been seeking ts
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1906
make political capital out of his at
tacks upon the Standard Oil company.
He has a* yet failed to answer Mr.
Castle's direct charge that Mr. Em
ery's oil interests have been benefi
ciaries of rebates, quite as much as
has the Standard Oil company in their
limited way.
Upon this subject Mr. Castle, at
Corry, last week said:
"Is this canvass of Lewis Emery,
Jr., a fair, wv.idid. honest canvass,
based upon actual conditions of the
men themselves, or is it a pure sham
and a fake and a fraud? As bearing
upon that 1 am reminded of the fact
that Lewis Emfcry appeared before
the industrial commission and gave
testimony, in 1899, and by turning to
page 669, volume 1, of the printed re
ports of that commission, we find this j
interesting bit of information:
Emery's Old Testimony.
"These questions were directed to
Mr. Emery when on the witness stand,
and the answers are his:
" 'Jiave you frequently in your busi
ness enjoyed rebates?' was asked Mr.
Emery, and his reply follows:
" 'No, sir; never. Now let me mod
ify that. In my business previous to
1872, in the refinery in Titusville, Pa.,
rebates were a common thing, but we
were young and new in the commer
cial business, and fellows in Cleveland
and Pittsburg were a little more ex
perienced. We didn't seem to make
very much money. They were run
ning full tilt with their wells, barrel
shops and everything, and we began
to look about to see what was the
matter. We went to Pittsburg, and
learned to our astonishment that cer
tain concerns were getting 25 cents
a barrel. We were large shippers,
and we demanded to be granted the
same. That was away back in 1870.
We were given 25 cents; and then we
got on to the fact that some refiners
were receiving 75 cents back and
some other refiners were receiving 50
cents. The rate at that time was in
the neighborhood of $1.50, and oil
could be carried at a profit today at
25 cents. From that time to this, no.
I am not guilty.'
"It Is. perhaps, interesting also to
note that there is filed with the inter
state commerce commission in Wash
ington a paper showing that as late
as 1897 the Emery Manufacturing
company, of Bradford, was shipping
to the Emery Manufacturing com
pany, at Buffalo, N. Y., by the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg railroad, a
large number of (tars that were billed
as acid, when in fact they contained
oil. The rate on acid was 5 cents per
100 pounds, and the rate on oil was
BVi cents. And in that way they were
getting rebates on their oil by falsely
billing the oils which they were ship
ping to Buffalo, and which were being
paid for by W. H. Foote & Co."
Castle's Defi to Emery.
Mr. Castle challenged Mr. Emery to
prove the charge I hat the CasHe
company was being financed by the
Standard Oil company. If the charge
were proven, Mr. Castle said, he
would retire from the contest. "If I
fall to prove any of the charts I
have made against Mr. Emery, I will
also quit the field," Mr. Castle said,
"and if Mr. Emery does not explain
away those charges, then he should
quit the contest.
"In respect to receiving Standard
Oil money, we are better than Mr.
Emery is. He at one time, about 1885,
went broke, and he went to New York
to secure help from the Standard Oil
company, and that company discover
ing that he had a lot of iron tanks on
his nands that were really Junk,
bought them from him. paid him about
$350.4100 for them, and he took that
money and reinstated himself. And
after he had received the money he
declared publicly, and I am prepared
to prove it, if he ever again raised
his hands against the Standard Oil
company he hoped God would wither
them from his body. Is he keeping
that vow now in this false-pretense
campaign of his?"
Dr. Silas C. Swallow, lat? Prohibi
tion candidate for president, has been
even more personal than Mr. Castle
in his public comments upon Mr. Em
ery.
In a recent Harrlsburg speech Dr.
Swallow said:
E>v. Swallow's Hot Shot.
"Having ought nearly to a finish
the Quay gang for 10 or more years,
we are no* quite content to hay*
foisted on us a fake reformer or coun
terfeit who has used in his business,
as we have the court records to prove,
the very identical methods employed
by the Standard Oil company, public
prejudice against which U the popu
lar hobby on which he propose* to
ride Into undeserved power.
"The kind of a man we want in the
gubernatorial chair might be descibed
by a description of the kind we don't
want. We don't want a protege of the
almost defunct Quay dynasty, nor of
the corporate influence of the state.
Nor do we want a man whose efforts
lor reform have enriched himself and
his friends from the coffers of thoss
whom he professes to hate and fight;
nor ons whose crusado for reform
has bsen confined to tha furtherance
•f his own monetary interests; nor
one who places the brewery on a par
ity, with the church, the school and
the hospital."
After seme very direct references
to Mr. Emery's alleged personal hab
its, Dr. Swallow said: "Wo must not
put Into the gubernatorial chair an
egotistic boaster or v nsan of low
breeding or of salaeffus views of so
ciety, or oae who put the people of
our great state to shame by hla ooarse
motives, manners and methods."

For Women $2.50
No other modern design so fully meets all the
requirements of the ideal ladies shoe. It
is an uneaqualed combination of style and fit,
shapeliness and comfort. The high but rather
broad heal, arched instep and slightly manish
appearance makes it the swellest sort for the
feet.
If you are a victim of faulty shoes,we can soon
enable you to walk with ease and comfort,
and eventually cure your tender feet. These
shoes will wear twice as long as the ordinary
"ready made" shoes and have a style and fin
ish that is essentially distinctive.
