Lesson From the Ridgway Ex
plosion.
[From the Erie, Pa., Times.]
The growth of the tramp evil is be
coming more noticeable every year and
the Ridgway incident is one of many
emphasizing the menace to the public
from these "undesirable citizens."
Everybody knows how numerous
tramps are and how easy it is for any
vagrant to secure high explosives in a
country where they are more frequent
than in any other.
But the real neglect in this matter is
by the state. The tramp is always a
trespasser. He is most of the time a
criminal. Every ride he steals is theft,
fie fills the countryside with terror.
There is not a county in the state along
the main line of any leading railroad
where the country roads are safe for
women.
Yet the state does nothing to sup
press this chronic piracy. It shifts on
railroad corporations the public duty
of keeping the peace. There is no
more justice in this than for a city to
make a householder police his lront
door and back yard.
Large or small, rich or poor, every
corporation has the right to the effi
cient protection of the laws. So far as
the tramp is concerned, train hands go
in peril of life. Trains risk derailing.
Property is lost wholesale by tramp
depredations.
Every state should meet this by a
state police. Men at their honest work
ought not to have to put up a fight for
life as train hands daily do.
If a state police patrolled tracks and
covered the country adjacent, the
tramp would disappear and the coun
tryside would cease to hold the hid
eous terror it has for every lonely
woman. The mere increase of prop
erty value due to safety would pay for
such a police.

Sta'e College Says Schwab Will
Build.
Charles M. Schwab does intend to
erect a new school at State College, an
engineering building which will sur
pass anything in the world This was
confirmed Saturday evening by Dr.
Judson P. Welsh, vice president of the
college.
It is no secret that several years ago-
Mr. Schwab told the college authori
ties he would sometime build them an
engineering building, aad about a
month ago, when General James A.
Beaver acting president of the college,
and Vice President Judson P. Welch
were in New York, Mr. Schwab again
told them that he would erect and
equip a building, plans and drawings
for which have already been made, and
Mr. Schwab intimated that the project
might be carried through within the
next year or two. The estimated cost
of the new school which is to be for
mechanical and electrical engineering,
is from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Jlercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescription from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall's catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It
is taken internally and made in Toledo,

The Rochester Business Institute is

that superior advantages and facilities

stant and increasing demand upon the

seem to justify the assumption.

STATE TREASURY
A PUBLIC TRUST.
SHEATZ DECLARES
In Address to His Old Neighbors
of Lehigh County he Gives Hi's
Conception of What the People
Have a Right to Expect.
AMAUS, Aug. 31.—Declaring himself
in full sympathy with the new order
of things in Pennsylvania politics,
John O Sheatz, Republican nominee
for State Treasurer, today expressed
his views as to the requirements of the
office. Defining his conception of
what the people have a right to expect
from the next State Treasurer. Mr.
Sheatz declared:
The man who is elected to that
office and in assuming that obliga
tion must understand from the very
beginning that he is merely acting
as trustee of your money and is not
the owner of it.
He must stand ready to pay
every just obligation of the Com
monwealth and absolutely refuse
to pay any sum where the expendi
ture is not clearly defined" by exist
isting law or when flagrao 1 extrav
agance exists.
He must not be under obligations
to any money interests or any poli
tical power.
As such a candidate nominated
by the will ofthe people, free from
any obligationn whatever, except
ing my duty to the people of this
Commonwealth, I come before
you.
IN HIS NATIVE COUNTRY.
Mr. Sheatz was the principal figure
at the annual rally of the Republicans
of Lehigh county. The occasion took
an added interest in view of the fact
that Lehigh is Mr. Slieatz's native
county. Many of those assembled to
hear him speak were friends from boy
hood.
The fact that he spent his early years
in Mechanicsville, a village near Allen
town, and that he is conversant with
the dialect of this region makes him a
popular candidate in Lehigh.
The John Hay Association, of Allen
town, several hundred strong, and
headed by a band, was present and the
Emaus band also furnished music. Be
cause of hoarseness Mr: Sheatz spoke
briefly, emphasizing the fact that he
should not be held responsible for the
Governor's vote of the soldiers' pen
sion bill.
This part of his address demanding
that the State Treasury be kept free
from taint and declaring no punish
ment too great for the Capitol grafters
was received with the greatest enthus
ism. Although a Republican rally
there were many Democratic and In
dependets in the assemblage and they
joined in the applause, which greeted
the remarks of Mr. Sheatz.
In the opening remarks Mr. Sheatz
discussed in an interesting manner the
rapid strides made by Lehigh County
since his boyhood days. He dwelt at
some length on the wonderful develop
ment of the cement industry and the
mammoth mills for manufacturing this
product at Allentown. Of interest to
the many workingmen employed in
these mills was the statement by Mr.
! Sheatz that the estimated consumption
| of cement in the United States in the
! last year was about 50,000,000 barrels,
j of which quantity forty per cent, was
I manufactured in and North
| ampton Counties.
PUNISHMENT FOR GRAFTERS.
Taking up political questions, Mr.
j Sheatz launched into a severe arraign
ment of the Capitol looters and predict
-led adequate punishment for them
when brought to trial. On the subject
Mr. Sheatz said:
The principles of our party are
right. Republicanism has always
stood for prosperity and cannot be
held responsible for the wrongs
that have been done. Evil work
| eth its own destruction, and to-day
we await development in this line,
I not only in our own State, but
throughout our Union. Evil may
seem to prosper, but she slowly
and surely paves her own way to a
bitter endtng. A party is not re
sponsible for the wrong doers that
slyly creep within her ranks and
the men who willfully disgrace and
betray their own glorious State —
there is no punishment to severe,
"for we are proud of this great Com
monwealth and will protect her.
Referring to the work of the recent
Legislature Mr. Sheatz strongly com
mended its action in increasing the ap
propriation for public schools from
$11,000,000 to §15,000,000, and added:
"I am looking forward to the time
when the State government of Penn
sylvania can appropriate all the money
necessary to educate her children."
In concluding his address Mr. Sheatz
paid a tribute to Governor Stuart for
his magnificent effort to redeem his
pledges to the people aDd assured his
hearers that if elected he would exert
himself to the utmost to render all aid
possible along this line.
Mr. Sheatz, Congressman J. Hamp
ton Moore, of Philadelphia, and the
county candidates came here from Al
lentown in an automobile this morn
ing, arriving at 10:30 o'clock. They
spent an hour viewing the sights of
this quaint old Moravian town and
then enjoyed an old-fashioned chicken
dinner with an endless variety of pies
for dessert. Meanwhile the crowds
gathered and many citizens shook
hands with Mr. Sheatz or listened to the
county candidates as they presented
their claims for support.
Rev. Knox Injured.
Rev. R. J. Knox, pastor of the South
Williamsport Methodist church, for
merly in charge of the Lock Haven cir
cuit, wife and the latters two sisters,
Misses Seba and Nora Barry, of Al
toona, had a very narrow escape from
serious injury and probable death while
driving in Wildwood cemetery Thurs
day afternoon, says the Williamsport
Sun. The accident happened near the
McCormic mausoleum and was caused
by the breaking of the double tree of
the carriage. The minister is suffering
from a wrenched shoulder and one of
the visiting ladies sustained several
bruises, the result of being thrown
faom the vehicle, while Mrs. Knox and
the other sister remained in the car
riage, thus escaping injury. That the
entire party was not hurled down the
bank, a distance of twenty or thirty
feet, was due to the carriage running
into a tree about six feet below the
top of the embankment.
