"Fighting Jack" Speake Out Former Congressman Robinson, of Delaware county, "Fighting Jack," as he Is familiarly known, presenta the Issue In this campaign very clearly and concisely In his Media Ledger, In which among other things he says: "The office of slate treasurer Is one of the most Important to be filled In the commonwealth. "State lines are drawn Just as na tional lines were draw-n last year be tween Parker and Roosevelt, and the latter won out In a fight where neces sarily partisanship had to be considered and party adulation was a crucial test "So It Is neither plausible nor ra tional from a Republican viewpoint to put forward the cry of 'independence,' and ask that party lines be obliterated when the conduct of the finances of the state Is the question at Issue. "Mr. nerry's well known and often avowed advocacy of free silver, to gether with his ardent Prohlbltlonlsm, makes him a subject dangerous to elect over an able and clenn man like Hon. J. Lee Plummer, of Ulalr county. "A Republican who can be cajoled or bamboozled by a cry of non-partlsan-ehlp or Independence to caHt aside his convictions In so vital a canvass" must Indeed be a weak and simple-minded voter. Berry As a Bryanite. "Vi'iHlam H. lit rry is an examplo ol the politics pushed to tho extremo limit by William Jennings Bryan, and he has never resented any of the heresies he so persistently put to the fore in the congressional and presidential cam paigns of 1896 and 1900.

"It would, indeed, be a great calam ity to have Berry as state treasurer, and the announcement go out over all the United States that the doctrines of Bryan and not McKInley are In the ascendant in the Keystone State, the banner Republican fortress. Should Stand Pat "Let every Republican, therefore, 'stand pat' on the question of finance and' take no steps backward. "If the prosperity we now enjoy as a nation and the high credit the com monwealth of Pennsylvania now ob tains be the result of Republican suc cess as It unquestionably is would not a vote for Berry be a stultification of the record made, and would it not be a menace to good financial govern ment to defeat an honest money candi date, an honest candidate and repre senting an honest party by an avowed and notorious advocate of Bryan Ism and depreciated standards? "This Is the state of all states In the anion where such a dangerous experi ment should not be essayed. "We firmly believe that there are not one thousand Republicans In this com monwealth who, If they perused the speeches of William II. Berry In tha memorable campaign of 189S and who analyzed these radical statements, would ever think of casting a ballot against his own party, which has a typical candidate. "No fnke issue should obscure the field of political vision, and of all years and of all states this one of Pennsyl vania Is the last, and should bo the last, to adopt a policy and a candidate so radically opposed to all that baa been so successfully advanced and firm ly secured by the party in tho past. "Standing In the ancient ways, leav ing aside even the suspicion thnt she should reverse her splendid financial record, remembering the victories won in both state and nation over Just such dangerous political quacks and doctrin aires as Bryan and Berry, we predict that as the campaign unfolds and the artfulness of the political games against our party are exposed, this Keystono Ftate will give a larger majority this off year than eh ever did in any such year before." FARMERS ARE HAPPY That Is Why They Will Stand By the Republican Party. PROSPERITY ON EVERY HAND J, Leo Plummer, Nominee For 8tats Treasurer, Cordially Received at Grangers' Picnic. Special Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Sept. 6. The farmers of Pennsylvania are happy. There is prosperity on very hand. Tbey are going to stand by the Republican party this fall. A very significant manifestation ot popular sentiment was given last week at the annual Grangers' picnlo at Williams Grove, Cumberland coun ty, .when the rival candidates for stats treasurer spoke on alternate days. Tha enthusiastlo demonstration in honor of J. Lee Plummer, the Republican nominee, was in striking contrast with the "frost" which his opponent, W. H. Berry, Free Silver Democrat and some time Prohibitionist encountered on following day. The farmers of Pennsylvania are evidently not favorably Impressed with the personality or the checkered political career of Mr. Berry. As a radical Bryanite be figured In past campaigns as an ardent free trade and free silver champion. Ills vacillating course does not appeal to tho solid and substantial citizens of the Key stone State. On the other hand, Mr. Plummer, the Republican standard-bearer. Is recognized as a strong and conserva tive character, who has made his mark In life by his own energy and pluck, and who has been steadfast In bis loy alty to Republican principles. Farmers to Be Envied. In his address to the farmers of ta8 state, Mr. Plummer, among other things, said: "The farmer is to bs envied of all men In business. The world's markets are always ready to take bis product The professional man, the lawyer 01 the doctor, may spend years In the preparation for the practice of his profession, and when he opens his of fice the people may pass him by; a merchant may atock his shelves with the finest goods, and the people may go elsewhere to buy, but they must buy the farmer's products, for they must eat and they must wear clothes, and everything we eat and everything we wear. Is furnished by the farmer or his brother, the stock-raiser. "The farming Industry of our coun try Is tha great Industry of our coun try; no other one Industry produces as much either In bulk or value. "And now a word for Pennsylvania, this grand old state of ours. She li the greatest and grandest of all our states, and the brightest star on Old Glory today. Her industries are flour ishing, and no citizen of the common wealth, who Is able to work, need ol necessity be Idle. Her farmers are prosperous and are blessed with abun dant crops, which are readily taken up by her home markets. "The Republican party of Pennsyl vania, which for more than forty yean has controlled legislation In the state, has always been solicitous for the wel fare of her agricultural Interests, and some of the wisest legislation on oui statute books was passed In the inter est ot our farmers. "Two departments of our state gov ernment are devoted to their Interests, the department of agriculture and thi highway department "In the department of agriculture, the dairy and food division is of espe cial Importance to the dairy interesti of the state, for it is the duty of Its agents to inspect our food and see to it that what Is sold for butter Is butter, and not something else colored as but ter. "The division of zoology has charge of the suppression of Insect pests that prey on your crops, and Is doing good work for the fruit Industry of the stati In fighting the San Jose scale. In this department la also the live stock sani tary board, whose duty It is to protect the health of the domestic animals ol the state and to eradicate and suppress all dangerous and contagious diseases of domestic animals. "The other department Is the high way department created for the pur pose ot assisting In Improving the roads and highways of the common wealth. This department was created in 1903, and I had the pleasure of sup porting and voting for the bill. The legislature ot 1905 appropriated the sum of $6,35(1,232.47 to this depart ment for Improving the roads of the state. This large sum of money Is to be available and spent in the improve ment of our country roads within the next four years. This Is only a part ot what the state Is doing for the Penn sylvania farmer. "In addition to the work done by tho department of agriculture and the highway department, you participate with the rest of us In the state ap propriation to the public schools. Pennsylvania appropriates more money to her public schools than any other state. She gives the princely sum of $5.(100.000 each year to her public schools. This Is an Immense sum of money, and goes Into every township, village and city of tho com monwealth and relieves the people of taxation. "There Is no state in the union, and no country In the world, where the bur- don of government rests as lightly on the people as does the government of Pennsylvania. "Did you ever consider that real es tate in Pennsylvania Is not taxed for the support of the state government T In other words, that no porson in Pennsylvania pays a tax on real aetata?

Grove's signature Is on The Wesleyan Influence on the Modern League. BY MBS, MABKL HENDERSON. Long ago, at Epworth, England, In a christian mother's heart, Through her love and care for others, the Methdoiam bad it start, And her influence and example has gone outward year by year, Till Methodism has its home, In laads both far and near. Mora than forty years, this mother was a help-meet true indeed, Id her husband's work as rector, there was often urgent need, For ber help, aud care, and pity; the lg- norant and poor, Found relief and mercy offered, when they found the Wesley's door. All the members of this household, met In earnest daily prayer. From the youngest to the oldest, of the many children there, Enveloped by their parents love and pity, each one heard The way to heaven pointed out by God's holy word. They were educated too, in knowledge, found in other books, "Tongues in tha trees, seimons In stonos, books In the running brooks," And good in everything," the parents helped the children to desoern, Till they discovered tor themselves, that life means bow to learn And altho' the children studied by - a method stuct and true, They enjoyed their play, as only happy, childish hearts can do, Mother guarded and directed, during, recreation hours, They learned to put aside life's thorns, while gatheriug life's flowers. So this family circle was a league defen sive for the right, Looking up for tip her guidance, to the author of all light, Lifting op and helping onward, by their, songs and counsels given, Multitudes have followed them, to be, assured of Heaven. Their home life Is a pattern for league work we may do. And tho' we live in latter times, their Metbodistio view, Of work and education now Is helpful, broad and sound. And we find 'tis ff to travel in the pathway, the have found. For experience is that helpful one, who watches evermore. And gathers light from ont the past, to shed on what s before, And tho' we have made mistakes, and failures to perchance. These same mistakes and failures, may help us to advance. May the Epworth League be to us, as a Lome, where we may greet, Beet loved friends, where Cornells, with God's wisdom are complete. When we work as Jesus taught us, each for all, and all for each, Where a helping hand is given, as we strive to upward reaou. And as Methodism prospers in Its way, o'er land and sea. And ita ministry extends to all, both bono and free, So, as Susannah Wesley's sons, were guided in their youth, May onr young people ofthechnrcb, be guided Into truth. Id Jlemoriani John Vi. Morrow.
