MUNSON SLATED IN NEW YORK
By Hall and Guifey—Donnelly 0, K's the
Job Manson Gets Cold Feet,
The truth is out, the Philadelphia
Record would have the voters of
Pennsylvania believe, Over the sig-
nature of the managing editor of the
Record an attempt is made to show
there was nothing crooked in the do-
ings of the Democratic convention at
Allentown, That is what the Record
wants the people to believe,
The Record confesses this :
Munson was slated for governor
during the latter part of 1909 by Hall,
Guffey, and others, and then Don-
nelly, the manager of the Philadel.
phia Democratic side show, was con-
sulted and persuaded that Munson
suited him.
Of course, Donnelly, the wicked
boss Donnelly, was not permitted to
know anything of the New York con-
ferencs. This was very, very brave,
but he was consulted afterward, and—
agreed,
All through the preliminary cam-
paign the voters throughout Pennsyl-
vania were told that Munson was not
the choles of Guff:y, Hall, Donnelly,
et. al, but the choica of the people.
Bomes Damocrats actually believed
that in Manson they had a man free
from boss management, and all the
time these bosses had gone to New York
City and there decided how the Demo-
crats of Pennsylvania should be fooled,
and who should wear the fool’s cap
they were then constructing. Mr.
Munson was the man selected, but he
rebelled. He went to some trouble to
find a reason to withdraw, and by
Hall was driven to undergo a physical
examination to show that he was un-
able to stand the strain of a campaign
in which he was to be the candidate
of the Democratic bosses, and at the
same time pose as the people’s choice. |
The people were for Mr. Berry, but!
Guffey and Mr.
Tals trio is
Mr. Hall and Mr.
Donnelly were nol,
greater than the people,
Mulvihill ! The Record does not re-
cite the part he took in the making of
Grim, the Democratic candidate for
Governor,
The Record has lost its reputation
for truth and veracity. It has been
on all sides of the issue, [he Record
is not to be trusted,
The Record’s explanation furnishes
every honest man, every Democratic
vater who has heretofore been a faith-
ful party man, to turn away in dis
gust.
But who has delegated the Phila-
deiphia Record to be the mouthpiece
of the Democratic party 7 It is the ac-
cepted mouthpiece of the trio—
Hall, Gufley, Donoelly—-but let it stop
there,

demand for ténts and exhibit space.
Every tent will be occupied, and the

secure additional canvas over the
number of tents used last year. Re-
quests have also been made for large
exhirit space for agricultural imple-

“THE DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE ~
Made a Pretext for the Extravagance of the
Republionn Administration,
‘ The increase in the expenditures
of the National Government,” says
Representative Mann, of Illinois, ‘‘ are
not due to the extravagance of ad-
ministration, but to the demands of
the people for increased service by the
Government.”
In emergency that sort of statement
might pass muster in a cart-tail cam-
paign speech. Cowling from a mem-
ber of Congress who professed to de-
plore the growing extravagance of
national expenditures, it begs the
whole question. It amounts to say-
ing that Congress and the Adminis-
tration are in no way responsible for
nearly $1,100,000,000 in appropriations
made and authorizad during the
recent session, because ‘‘ the people
demanded ’’ that a thousand millions
was not enough for the Government
to spend in one year,
There are always interests to de-
mand that the Government be run
with greater extravagance, if that js a
sufficient excuse. Bome demand that
the biggest navy of the biggest ships
in the world be built right away.
Home demand that the army be dou-
bled, Bome demand pensions of §1 a
day. Bome demand more depart
ments, more bureaus, more commis.

Ruling out the Bible,
The state of Illinois has ruled the
Bible out of her public schools. The
supreme court of that state has re-
cently made this decree, on the grounds
that it is an interference with the so-
called religious liberty, We regret to
hear of this unwise decision, Illinois
needs all of the Bible she can get, and
80 do all the other of these United
States, To exclude the Bible from the
public schools Is to expose the [rising
generation to a great moral and re-
ligious danger. The Bible je the
foundation-stone of character, The
schools are the places where character
is formed to a great extent, To re-
move the Bible, takes away one of the
greatest ipfluences for good that the
young of our land bave, Farther
more, the removal of God's Word
from such a public institution as the
schools, will bring, we fear, not only
Divine disapprobation, but will result
unluckily to the State that causes such
a decree to be enforced.
In our estimation §there is not
enough of the Bible taught in our
public schools to-day. We would be
glad to welcome the day when system-
atic Bible study will become 8 part
of every public school curriculum. It
bas hitherto been that the best of our
colleges negleeted the Bible to such
an extent that their graduates came
out booked in sciences and languages
snd mathematics, and koowiog
practically nothing of the Bible. Of
Ister years, systematic Bible study has
been introduced throughout the
country in a wide ares, and now there
are thousands of s'udents s'udying
the Bible. To our estimation, no
man or woman can oall himself edu-
cated until he hes acquired some
knowledge of the Word of God. Back
of all learning, this book is an essen-
tial, which not only shows us how to
live but as well tells us how to die
Our public schools cannot expect to
prosper, If they see fit to reject the
Bible. May Pennsylvania never be
guilty of this and may Illinois soon be
made to seefber mistake, and may
there be a power higher than the
supreme court that will reverse this
ruling.
