THE WEAKEST SPOT.
Taft swears by Roosevelt, Sherman
says the great issue before the people
is the perpetuation of the Roosevelt!
policies. This should put the voters
of the country upon inquiry. The
New York World summarizes the
facts with regard to the Roosevelt
administration as follows :
1 It bas been extravagant and waste-
ful.
21t has attempted to popularize
WAT. .
3 It bas gloried in Philippine im-
perialism,
4 It has menaced the states with
federal usurpation by means of con-
structive jurisprudence.
5 It has recklessly undermined con-
fidence in our business methods, caus
ing panic, depression and suffering.
6 It has profited by the political
contributions of corporations seeking
legislative favors.
7 It has spoken vociferously against
the male factors of great wealth, but
it has not brought one of them to jus
tice. ; “
8 It has bullied congress. threaten-
ing to do as it plessed, law or no law,
9 It has assailed the courts when
their judgments, were contrary to ite
wishes,
10 It has maintained the highest
tariff ever known lo a free country
and has made no move in favor of in-
come and inheritance taxes.
11 It has constantly demanded law
and more law for the prosecution of
trusts, although existing laws are
held by it to be too drastic for enforce-
ment.
12 It is now attempting to round
out a career of wilfulness, greed, am-
bition and tyranny oy forcing the
election of » personally excellent and
amiable Proxy. .

There are elcvsh million dollars
lying idle in the state treasury. What
to do with such a vast sum ls being
discussed. The Reporter suggests
that the state make itself liable for the
payment of the salaries of all public
school teachers in the state, and dis
tribute the remainder among the
townships to be applied to the roads
thr ugh the local supervi-ors, ¥

CAMPY OPENS SATURDAY,
Park Had Many Tenters Over
Soonday-—Religious Services.
As was scheduled the Grange En-
campment and Fair opened Saturday.
A large number of tent holders had
their temporary homes in fine condi-
tion Saturday afternoon, and remained
on the grounds over Bunday.
The fakirs were on hand two days
earlier than usual, as were also exhibi-
tors! Saturday was a busy day among
these, as well as among the campers
acd exhibitors, some of the latter of
whom had wares there as early as Fri-
day.
The management « completed the
erection of all tents, exhibition build-
ings, ete., Baturday afternoon, and the
chairman of the executive committee
of the association, Hon. Leonard
Rhone, was very well pleased with the
outlook,
Bunday afternoon religious services,
the Harvest Home services, were held
in the auditorium, the same being con-
ducted by Dr. H. W. Schuyler, the
popular pastor of the Presbyterian
church. The auditorium was filled
with attentive listeners, ‘and the ser-
mon was one which could not help
but make those who heard it feel ele-
vated —spiritually elevated—for hav®
fog been present.
The music was conducted by Prof.
P. H. Meyer. A chorus of some
twenty voices rendered the music,
This was also pleasing to the audience.

Good Season for Mechanics,
Not in many years have the local
mechanics, especially carpenters, been
as busy as they have been the present
season. The weather for outside work
has been ideal, little or no time having
been lost on secount of wet weather
The improvements in the borough
have heen many and varied ip
character, and through the country
barns, houses and outbuildings have
been erected in almost every section.
It was the first opportunity
living in the country distiiets have
had to secure carpenters, as for some
yesrs these mechanics have been em-
ployed in the cities,
W. B. Feidler, Frederick K. Carter,
Asher Btahl and D. Daup just finished
a dwelling house on the farm of
Emanuel Neese, near Penn Hall,
which will be occupied by his son,
Samuel Neese, The elder Neese will
retire but will not leave the old home.
The property owped by Al M.
Kreamer, of Wolf's Store, located a!
Penu Hall, and oceupied by Thomas
J. Decker, has been reroofed with slate
sud other improvements made. And
now Mr. Feidler and his men will
begin the construction of a large porch
on the dwelling house ‘on the lsanc
Spicher farm. Of course, these med
have been busy all season, and it
would be impossible to mention sll the
improvements made by them.
Aaron Thomas, SBamuel Shoop and
several other carpenters have also
been crowded with work ever since
early spring. The same is true of the
Hagen brothers, and their comple
ment of men ; ditto the Lucas broth
ers; Samuel SBayder and son, the
former having come from the Pitts
burg district foto a field of plenty
when that section had a half dozen
men for each day’s work to be had.

Minister Honored,
The thirtieth ordination anniversary
of Rev. 8B, M, Roeder was celebrated
the first Tuesday of this month by the
Glenn Rock Reformed charge, which
charge he has served as pastor for two
years, The meeting was a'ranged un-
known to Rev, Roeder, and the first
intimation of the gathering was when
he was called into the auditorium
under the pretext that the choir wish-
ed to consult with him. The aflair
was conducted by Rev. Dr. J. B. Wolf,
of the Lutheran church, and Rev. W.
J. Campbell, of the United Evangel-
ical church.
After the ceremonies in the’ church
were over, snother surprise awaited
the minister when he reached his
home, for here a donation committee
had been at work, and the result of its
efforts was evident in a surprisingly
generous donation of provisions and
money.
In giving an aceount of the avni-
versary celebration the Glen Rock
Item concludes thus :
This is the fourth charge he serves
since he entered the ministry, His
first charge was at Centre Ha'l, where
