THE taxpayers of Centre county should see to it, that there will be no $1200 or fi1500 contest In the county election for Abe Miller, as was the case when he was defeated for sheriff, in 18g6. IT is reported from Philipsburg, on what is good authority, that Schoonover has lost all hopes of being elected to the legislature and is caving the campaign go by default, does pot intend tw waste any further time and money in a hope- less fight. REPUBLICAN Chairman Reeder has been advertising for a lost banner. Call on J. C. Miller ke bad a fine, large ome last campaign, with the inscription, “Headquarters of the Union Party,” which was floating across the street from his office on High street. Why not use it ? THE first of the strikes in 1877 was when Grant was President ; the second, in 1892, occurred in Harrison times, and the third, in 1902, finds Roosevelt in the presidential chair, and, as on the other occasions, Republicans in the majority in the Pennsylvania legislature and the Federal Congress. Jiu STRoNM is reported to be “boiling bot” over the commumications sent us from ““Pennsvalley,” which discuss the legislative question. They say “Hungry Jim" is heaping all kinds of abuse on the heads of innocent people, whom he sur. mises as writing the articles. There 1s one significant feature in these letters and that is they tell the plain unvaruished truth and Jim Strobm knows it too well. Further, be has the privilege of replying if he desires, DURING every session of the Legislature the corporations are represented not only by their paid agents in the lobbies but by members of both the Senate and House, who have, been elected for the sole purpose of having enacted laws in favor of the corporation and agaiust the common people. Labor is never repre. sented in the lobbies, while the number of legislators who are true to the laboring man’s interest is small. Sen. ator Heinle, 2'during the past four years, has been thoroughly tested. Against formidable odds he always stood up for the welfare of the mechanic and the farmer, the tradesman and the la. borer, and his influence was felt and recognized frequently. Is it not then better for the district,“better forjthe la- borer, better for the whole people to re. elect such a man than to yote for a man who is himself allied with corporations as is Mr. Patton, and whose natural in. terest would be with the corporations and against the common people. WHAT impudence | Quay and Penrose, dabbling into the strike, as peace- makers | Giving their reasons for a com. promise that it would injure the republi- can party if not settled before the elec tion. The party would suffer, etc! No matter how much the people suffer, that's nothing, but Penrose may not get back tothe senate. Party is of more conse PATTON'S COAL. aresieimm—r— i Mr. Patton, the machine candidate for senator, is a millionaire, and least of all, | with this good fortune, should he, in a | time of sad distress, take advantage of ! the situation to reap unwarranted bene. | fits from the consumers of coal, as he is | a Mine owner, operator and shipper of | coal, Now what has Mr. Patton done ? About a year ago his soft coal was put up about | one dollar per ton—the consumers thought it was too great a rise, but bore it. Now, since the strike, Mr, Patton bas double the output of his mines on ac- count of the demand caused by the strike in the hard coal region, He was get. ting a good, big, large profit before the strike, and now the poor find the price of soft coal about three fold! Honest men, is vot this unwarranted ? Patton pays his miners not one farthing more for their labor, and yet puts the price of soft coal up about three fold! Do you think Patton should have your vote for senator, in place of honest, true and tried Wm. C. Heinle? “Nit” we hear every honest, right-thinking man say, ENTHRONING WEALTH. The only reason Bresser was nomina. ted for Congress by the republicans is that he has the boodle. He is a man of great wealth, now he wants a little “honor,” by being seut to Washington. He is quoted as saying *‘I will spend $40,000 to be elected.” He can afford it; can the people afford to turn over the law-making branch of our government to representatives of great wealth? We think not ; remember ; “Ill fares the land, to hast'ning ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. AT last Governor Stone has been forced A THRILLING APPEAL Governor Pattison Urges Philadel. phlang to Unite With the Country In Redeeming the State, The Democratic campaign in Phila. delphia was opened on Monday even: ing with enthusiastic meetings in Ger mantown and Manayunk, where busi ness men and workingmen united in remarkable demonstrations. At the conclusion of his address In German town Governor Pattison said: It has often been sald that & largel measure of the virtue, {ntelligence and Jatriotian Of a commonwealth is to be ound in the rural regions than in the cities and towns, Whether this claim is well founded or not, go far as Penn- sylvania is concerned, the wour is near When the test will surely be made, I want to say to you tonight, my fellow- citizens of Philadelpiiia, amongst whom my life has been spent since childhood, for more than two score years, save the time that you called me, by your generous confidence and Buflrages, to responsible duties else Where, that never in the history of our great state has {ts patriotic citizen- ship beyond the borders of this city been so thoroughly aroused as at this time. It has been my privilege, and under the call of the Erie convention & nomination I did not ask nor Beek my duty the past month to meet and look Into the earnest faces of a multi- tude of men representing all classes, the farmer, the mex hanie, the mer. chant, the laborer, the miner, the pro- fessional man, the mill worker and therein | have read an und ompromising determination to overthrow and crush the combined forces of political In- iquity and official maladministration. There can be no doubt about it, my friends; the issue is now squarely with you. The voters of Pennsylvania to whom | refer thoroughly under tand the situation. They cannot be deceiy- ed nor led astray Mightily in earnest, they are looking to you, with anxiety and intensity of desire for your mont zeaious, courageous and effective CO- operation They are more than ready to do thet: part Wilk you do yours? Fhey will Come to the polls, on the 4th of Novem ber, a united and invincible standing u for that which i Is right and true, upholding the he nor and dig by public opinion from all over this call out the state guard for the preserva. tion of order in the strike region, It | notwithstanding the demand was urgent | and came from all quarters. was simply ove for political benefit which is the sole aim of the machine mm things | pertaining to public affairs. The Gov. ernor has his duties plainly laid down in the constitution and laws of the state, | but he stolidly refused to come up to the requirements of his oath, and now, in consequence one of the worst calamities | is threating the people and all business | interests of the entire country, with the | rigors of an approaching winter, and | prices for coal beyond the means of | millions of the people of the United | States. The coal-railroad trust, meat. ! Cattle trust, steel trust and other kittens of the same breed, are beginning to lay thier iron grip upon the people, and Sooner or later will plunge the country into revolt, like unto that of the days of George the 11. A telephone message from Centre Hall, on Wednesday evening, stated that Prof. Warren, the famous Bird Book man and Quay tool who has figured in some shady political deals, arrived at | Centre Hall on the morning train and Spent the day interviewing Hon. Leonard Rhone. The surmise is that he Came on a political mission to induce Rhone to exert himself in behalf of the state ticket and candidates for Senate and Legislature. If this is correct, time will tell whether his inducements were strong enough. Frou all sections of the land come re- ports of serious strikes in different in- dustries. The republicans are in power and yet the entire army of toilers, north, | south, east and west, is complaintog of not enjoying the boasted prosperity, It is alone enjoyed by the millionaires, while the working classes barely get a smell. Can't be denied. —— -- Senator Stewart of Nevada tells this story of Mark Twain's journalistic days | in Carson City: “He boarded at the | home of his brother, who was a model | citizen and a Christian. One morning I Was a guest of this brother at breakfast. We had just seated ourselves at the | table when a voice drawled from the | stairway above: ‘Have you read the Scripture lesson this morning » ‘Yes.’ was the reply. ‘Had family prayers? continued the voice from above. Yes. Sam” said the host, smiling at me" There was a pause, and then in the now well-known draw! came the further question : "Said grace? ‘Yes,’ responded the patient head of the household, ‘All right, then,’ came the cheerful comment from the stairway ; ‘I'll be right down.’ And presently the irreverent youth, who in a few years was to promote the gayety of nations, joined us at the breakfast table.” Drusser and Patton, the millionaire candidates, were nominated for Congress and Senate because they have the money, to secure votes, not for the ability to serve the people.

The present campaign In Pennsylva- nia has had some remarkable phases The Quay machine never was harder pushed.

This month brings to an end the first year in our new rooms. Op aq birthday don’t you occasionally look back and con- sider what progress you are making in life? It's that way with us now. We're thinking of the past, and we're proud of it—we have reason to be. It's Just two years and a half since this store was started. It's two years and a half since a new kind of a clothing store has been inaugurated. It has grown as a child—~first barely able to support itself in the creeping, the small gradual increase in tread, and then the steady walking, as people became bet- ter acquainted with “SIM'S STORE" and its dealings. That walking has now quick- ened into a rapid pace to outdo what has been accemplished. This is not the kind of a store to be satisfied with merely what has been done. a] The best of yesterday serves, but to- morrow better. This 1s clearly shown in our Fall and Winter stock. We are selling clothing produced by America’s foremost skilled tailor at a 20 per cent. less than it can be bought else- where—and why ?—because we sell and buy more clothing than any store in Central Pennsylvania. This 1s a pretty strong statement for us to make but we never made it until we were absolutely sure of it. Others are likely to claim as much. Just look around, see them all. Then come here-—we know you'll feel satisfied to leave your money with us. Sim, The Clothier.
