But when a political judge descends from the bench and mak labored argu- ment to persuade and beg the un sophisticated into voting to amend their constitution, to bond themsel and their posterity, on al false pretense, he thereby unfrocks | himself, and is subject to the same criticism as ordinary men engaged in a gigantic cleme of state graft in- stead of states-craft This guileful address was made at the same time that addresses were made by pipsisse- way orators and oratrixes, hired or engaged by “the Pennsylvania Good Roads Association,” a flamboyant or- ganization of rich and idle joy-rid- ing and touring non-producers of corn and beef hod Why the pipsisseway speeches were not also published by the Motor ve< hicle clan, who are bghind this schem#@ to inflict upon Pennsylvania, the out- rageous public swindle in roads, ex- posed by Gov. Sulzer in New Yor one can only guess. Probably the bond schemers thought that the judicial position of once arch-conspirator of the old state treasury looters would appeal more mightily to a people who are prone to forget history. Every ninnehammer is supposed to read his drivel and go to his neighbor and say: “Judge Elkin and so” just as these “good fakirs are now saving. “Why Wilson has endorsed good from a speech he Jersey when a candidate But there and qualifie who Jol I is the same lican State not who, Stone, county, is now | \ 8 An ile MASSES $0 as Ves this says roads” President roads,” quoting made In New for governor till some intelligent tors who remember and was.

Of course, one of the imported “good roads” orators, from Massachusetts, who smelt the carrion, sald the pres ent crowe and vultures at Harrisburg would not be In office when the $50, 000.000 carcass is to be served up.

We know that If the bond steal goes through a special session of the leg- islature, the” same servile body that passed the Jones township road law, will be called to pass a law authoriz- ing the issuance of the bonds and pro- viding for the expenditure of the money. It matters not what they say now. They le. They have led be- fore. Their record for lying is made up. The people of Pennsylvania know they all lle, to a purpose. None of their pledges to the people have been made good. John P. says these "good roads” at $20,000 per mile, made according to Bigelow and Hunter's plans, cannot be had without bonding for $60,000, 000. The current revenues are all taken up by high-priced officers, like himself, who do not earn their salt! The kind of junketing tourists, that he wants “good roads” for, is indicat ed in hs exordium.
