To The Electors of The 28th l'cnnsyl rania Congressional District. "Boodle" and "Graft" are the Siamese twins of evil in our public life to-day. "Graft" is official loot, and as the case may be is grand or petit larceny of the people's own. "Hoodie" is the coin that cashes in manhood and honor for the most sordid of all considerations mere pay. It de grades body and soul and infuses its deadly and corrosive poison into the very vitals of our National life. All Europe's armaments trained upon our shores would inspire universal pa triotism in defense of our honor and our flag. In such a crisis no American, fit to live, calls himself a partisan. Hut in finitely greater are the iniquities of "Boodle" for "Boodle" destroys inde pendent manhood, the last refuge of lib erty, and in National peril, the freeman's indispensable and most invulnerable de fense. The fallen woman of the street who makes merchandise of her virtue, her honor, too often the victim of man's be trayal and of influence beyond her con trol is an outcast, hopeless and scorned by all save those who forget not the Divine forgiveness of the Master. If such to her be the world's decree, where then should the men be placed who market their vote, their honor; that cant, hypocrisy and insatiate ambition may bribe their way to power? "Boodle" is the Black Hand in poli tics. Regardless of high worth, lofty ideals, aspirations, and the inspiration for the betterment of men, all that makes men and nations truly great. "Boodle" slams the door of opportunity and advance ment in the face of all save its befouled proselytes and with defiant contempt for even common decency issues its man date that none but millionaires need ap ply We raise no hue and cry against wealth honestly acquired, honestly used. Wrongs and usurpation through the cor ruption of the ballot box should be no longer tolerated. Do a majority of the electors of the 28th Pennsylvania Congressional District stand for the auction block in politics and a sentiment whose moralo docs not transcend thatof a common horse trade? Of course they don't. Good people in Pennsylvania have begun to put grafters in the penitentiary, the very thought of which a few years ago was regarded as a joke But what about the "Boodlcrs," those still fouler ghouls of evil? The Laws of the Commonwealth se vere as they are against "Graft" are more severe against "Boodle." Under our Constitution, bribery of any kindred boodle by a candidate for public office is a heinous crime, one of the consequences of which is the disenfranchiscment of the offender without hope of pardon or re prieve. Why havo these laws been mocked, violated, travestied, with impious dis dain when the evidences of guilt multi ply from day to day in our public life and are as apparent as a concealed but rampant skunk in one's back yard? The answer of men who believe and hope for Salvation must be "Boodle" cold, cant ing, remorseless, corrupting cash. Do a majority of the voters of this dis trict want to help kill off this kind of thing? Of course they do. Then let us suggest a non-partisan way to do it, a way that will force men to show their hands. Organize a "Non-Boodle League" con sisting of clean men of all parties and without partisan pledge in favor of any party, candidate or policy, who simply pledge themselves in a manner some what after the following suggested form: We, the undersigned, electors of the of in the 28th Congressional District of Penn sylvania, do hereby pledge our honor to use all moral and proper means in our power for the detec tion and prosecution of "Boodle" in any form, regardless of party, candi date, or policy, and we further pledge our honor when possessed of knowl edge fairly indicating any violation of the election laws of this Common wealth, by means of money, corpor ate coercion, of the distribution of intoxicating liquors, to promptly fur nish in writing all the material facts in connection therewith to the Coun ty Chairman of each political party and to tho District Attorney of the particular County. Organize and organize at once for the preservation of American manhood regardless of party, candidate, or policy llcsjiectfully suggested, Wm. J. BREEXE. Oil City, Pa., June 11, 1910.

New York Paper Gave 24 Hours as Time Limit. For Flight Hamilton's Actual Flying Time For 172 Miles of Flight 209 Minutes Only Stop Result of Mistaking Jersey Field For Staten Island Crowds Wel come Him at Governor's Island. New York, June 14. Charles K. Hamilton, the little read haired aero bat of the upper airs, flew to Phil adelphia and back again. He lifted his biplane over Governor's Island at 7:i:i a. m. and at 6:40 p. m. returned to the spot from which he started. The flight to Philadelphia was made without mischance. Straight n a pigeon on the wing Hamilton sailed over cities, rivers and farms winging an unsurveyed course. At 9:28 a. m. he was shaking hands with Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania, 86 miles from Governor's island. Hamilton's luck failed him on the Journey home or he might by wheel ing around Yonkers have beaten Paulhan's record for uninterrupted flight 117 miles, London to Litch field. Kilty three miles from Phil adelphia he lost his bearings, mistak ing a green patch of Jersey for Staten Inland and simultaneously two of the eight cylinders of his engine coughed and quit worKlng He dropped into the clutch of i swamp near South Am hoy and it was hours before re pairs could be made and the aviator could escape the immense crowd that swarmed from the Jersey towns. 172 Miles In 209 Minutes. As it was his actual flying time for the 172 miles was 2ri!) minutes and he ful II lied to the letter his contract with the New York Times to make a round trip from New York to Phil adelphia within 24 hours Glenn II Curtlss, the lirst man In this coun try to make long distance calls In a flying machine, said he considered Hamilton's achievement the greatest in the history or aviation; unsurpass ed in that Hamilton at ruck out a course for himself without land buoys to guide him, without a charted route to help him, and accomplished the feat with such accuracy that ha kept to the second on the schedule he had laid out. Few men hnve received the kind of reception that Hamilton pot when he dropped out of the clouds last evening. Along the Battery, the wa ter front of lower Brooklyn, the edge of Staten Island an dthe Jersey shore the piers and seawalls were black with people. Thousands of them had waited for hours, swayed by rumors that came from the Amboy swamp. On Governor's Island, at the aviation grounds, a thousand chins were turn ed skyward. All the weariness of the long wait, the impatience and the damp chill of the evening were forgotten when an ollieer with powerful field glasses Muldenly threw up his hand and whooped like a Commanche He was a gray and dignified oflicer but be piroutted like n souhrette. There was a scurrying towards the water side. People stumbled blindly in the trieky sand, fell, picked themselves up and ran on. Hamilton came so fart that a few seconds after the officer spotted him, the aeroplane was discernible to the naked eye. You saw, painted against the gray mists of Stat'.n Island over the Kill Von Kull, a blur. II might have been the tinest puff of smoke. Ten seconds more and It was a wide winged bird. On it came In a line quarter of' a mile south of the Statue of Liberty. 400 Teet above the bay. Another flash of time yon made out the clean lines of the planes and you could see Hamilton crouched over his steefing wheel. As the air currents frisked above the water, they dipped the aeroplane to the lert and right. While still over the bav, hut rapidly nearing the sea wall of Governor's Island, Hamilton r.hut olT power, and the machine com menced to drop. With yells exploding all around him, he dropped his biplane to the sands in a long sweep, as a gull dives. Cur tiss. watching like a hawk, threw up his hands. Glad to Touch Land Again. "Uy God, that was good," he said. The crowd engulfed tho little man and gave him no chance to climb out of the machine and stretch his cramp ed limbs. He was a sight. If ever in the world there was a soiled avia tor, llamillou was that bird. His red hair was limited with sweat and grease. His face was streaked and patched with grime and oil. His eyes were red from the winds (he wore no goggles) and dirt had settled In the lines of his race. The mud of the Jersey swamp clung to bis legs and was spatteffd on his dingy leather coat, Hut he was about tbe most cheerful thing, for all of the dirt. I hut you would want to see. Everybody wanted to shake hands with him and they were Jabbering all iria of questions. Glenn Curtlss. who had taken a propcllr to him at South Anitioy, was Inquiring what the dickens got into tho motor. Photographers were snapping and clicking and bellowing requests from Ail bides.

The order means an expenditure of about 11,125,000 by tho Harriman system. It Is the largest locomotive order placed in some time.
