Sit down and think It over. See whether you can afford to go on half sick. Some people prefer Peruna Tab- I lets to the tluid Peruna.

Scores who crowded to the doors of the big hail had a look and decided to take a chance with the overflow meeting Before the big meeting in the audi torium got under way, big crowds had gathered for the overflow sessions jin front of the courthouse and on the ! steps of the Capttol. ; While the great crowd was awaiting l the opening of the session the hun dreds naturedly put In the time with song and yell. Every delegation had its jell; every group its song. Erie started the ball a rolling. Over in the west side of the hall a six-footer rose in his chair, swinging his arms In approved cheer, leader style, and "E-r-i-e—Erie," shook the rafters. "We're from South Bethlehem!" sang out another voice from deep cen ter. "Yes?" came the chorus from the | back of the room. "And we need no yell!" came a lusty response from a score of throats, j "Pittsburgh! Pittsburgh!" howled a delegation from the stage. Then a motherly-looking delegate in | a brand new Spring hat started a shrill cheer. It ended up with —"W. IC. T. U.!" Calls and cheers for J. Denny O'Neil were greeted with hceers and applause. Westmoreland, Franklin and a dozen other counties boosted the battles for local option. Big Choir Massed Upon the platform the pick of the singers of the big audience, choir leaders and local songsters from all over Pennsylvania were massed under the leadership of J. F. Jones, McKees port, enlivened the opening with songs. Just at 10 o'clock the choir swung into "America." The great audience rose and lifted iti voice—and pedestrians entering the capitol grounds paused to listen. A few minutes later the male por tion of the audience rose again. That was when Mrs. Ella M. George, presi dent of the Pennsylvania Women's Christian Temperance Union, in re sponse to a call from the chair, made her way to the stand. "The saloons." sang out a voice way back in the hall, "must go!" Mrs. George had hardly taken her seat when the hundreds of feet in the hall involuntarily tapped its feet in tune to the strains of "Onward Chris tian Soldiers." Then the Common wealth band marched through the hall and to its place on the platform. J. Denny O'Neil Pn sided Just before Chairman O'Neil called the big body to order a young man from Tyrone with gold in his throat, sang a solo to the strains of "I Hear You Calling." It was a little tip to the Pennsylvania legislature as to the feel ing of the people of the Keystone HARB ISBURG TELEGRAPH Rose Bushes are now here from Holland.

Foundrd I XT'l State on the local option problem. This was Frank M. Waring. His song was called, ""I'd Like to Ask." Then Choirmaster Jones and his choir injected another thriiier. The pianist nodded to the band leader—and the great audience sang "Pennsylvania's Local Option Song!" And the hun dreds of people just couldn't make Ihelr feet behr.ve. The tune was "Tipperary!" O'Xell's Keynote Chairman O'Xeil sounded a rousing keynote of the monster gathering when he declared in presenting Dr. Jsaae Sharpless, president of Haver ford, as permanent chairman, said: "We ale making history. Pennsylva nia Isn't corrupt. It is Just as pure as ! any State in the Union. I "Iflral option is not prohibition. It jis the will of the people. And no man | in public life is big enough to stand against the will of the people."' In response to Dr. Sharpless' call for the consideration of business. Ex- Speaker George E. Alter, of the House of Representatives, suggested the ap pointmnt of a committee of three to act on resolutions. Ex-Speaker Alter, Dr. George S. Shelton, Pittsburgh, and Louis J. Kolb. of Philadelphia, were named on the committee. Telegrams Head Cheers that set the flags on the au ditorium rafters dancing, rang through [the hall when several telegrams from [absentees were read: One was from Samuel E. Gill, who represented 2,000,000 Sunday Shcool workers in Pennsylvania. He regretted his inability to attend but declared that as chairman of the State Sunday school committee, he endorsed Penn sylvania's move to say whether or not its people should decide the liquor problem. Then—there was this from "Billy" Sunday: "Imitosslble to IK- with .you. Heartily approve of your great move ment." Mr. Parr Speaks The first speaker was ex-Congress man John E. Farr, Scranton. He got rounds and rounds of applause when he declared t hat "he who votes against local option, strikes a blow at liberty itself." Kinging Resolutions Ex-Congressman Henry W. Temple of Washington, has just begun his talk when Chairman Alter, amid cheers, reported for the resolutions commit tee. The windows rattled with the roaring "aye" that adopted the resolu tions. They follow: Whereas, the sale of intoxi- • eating liquors has produced most serious and vital problems, and as these become more fully ap preciated the people are justly claiming the right to a more' di rect part in deciding the question whether such sale shall be licensed in their respective communities; And whereas, in the absence of any method by which the voters in the several counties may law fully and directly pass upon the question of license or no license, they are attempting to determine this important question through the election of judges expressly or impliedly committed to the grant ing or the refusal of licenses, through which method a system of county local option is, in effect, operative in a large and growing number of the counties of the State; And whereas, the election of judges upon any issues other than judicial ability, fairness and in tegrity, and particularly upon an issue relating to the manner in which they will decide cases to be heard in court, is a prostitution of the most sacred otlice In the gift of the people, the result of which is a great weakening of that confidence in the Judiciary so essential to the preservation of our institutions; And whereas, the Governor of the Commonwealth, elected under an express pledge to favor a county local option law, is faith fully adhering to that pledge, the redemption of which he began in his inaugural address, wherein he said: "Let this vexed question be taken from partisan control and given directly to the people. They will solve it better than we can. The selection of judges in the sev eral districts should no longer hinge upon this question. It has al ready worked harm to the judiciary and has lessened the re gard of our people for the integ rity and capacity of the final legal guardians of the people's sacred rights. It is a dominant issue in the public mind. The partv that has given this great state its in dustrial adn educational develop ment has now the sacred oppor tunity of giving the state a great moral uplift. I trust we shall not fail the people in thia issue." And whereas, this principle of home rule has been applied suc cessfully in a majority of. the states of the Union and the right to its exercise should no longer be denied the people of Pennsyl vania; Resolved. That feeling it our bounden duty to support the Gov ernor and a high privilege to en list under his courageous leader ship in this righteous cause, we, the men of this conference, gath ered from every part of Pennsyl vania. do hereby pledge ourselves to aid, by all fair and honorable means, the effort to secure for our Commonwealth a county local op tion law. to the end that the courts may be freed from the Imminent peril by which they are now threatened and the people of the counties given the local con trol to which they are fairly and justly entitled; Resolved.

"Local Option Sunday Sundav, April Jl. was fixed by reso lution as "Local Option Sunday" for Pennsylvania when every church and Sunday school, every Bible class and other religious organization is urged to voice its stand on the Williams local option bill by resolution and petition to the Senate and House. Governor Is Popular Governor Brumbaugh's popularity was attested to throughout the session every time a speaker mentioned his name, but ex-Congressman Temple nearly brought the roof down when he declared that "Pennsylvania now had in the gubernatorial chair a man that had fooled a good many people." "This is not a fight between the man whose sentiments are 'dry' and the man whose sentiments are 'wet'," declared the former congressman in driving home the point that the ques tion was one of public policy and economy. The hope of the women And chil dren of Pennsylvania was gently, pleadingly expressed by Mrs. George. In opening her talk she declared that Bhe represented 37,000 women, the cream of the Keystone State. And for the second time during the morning the great audience rose as one and cheered and indiscriminately waved three-inch square of lace and eigliteen-lnch square of bandana in the salute of the chautauquas. "Nothing is such a menace to the home dnd to the happiness of the women and the children as the liquor traffic." declared Mrs. George. "This bill should be passed for the sake of the wife and the mother in the home, for I've seen the wife and mother bending over the washtub to earn what is necessary to keep the home together because the support that should have gone to them has gone to the saloonkeeper. "I plead," went on Mrs. George, "for the little children who plead for bread when there is no bread. Mrs. George concluded her talk by reading a 'report from a W. C. T. U. leader in Greene county, the first "dry" county in the state. " 'Everybody here," read Mrs. George, "is prosperous and happy. We've more autos than any other county. Frequently we have empty jails.' "Is that true," demanded Mrs. George, "in the 'wet' counties?" Congressman S. M. Miller, of Mer cer, got a vociferous cheer in response to his emphatic— "The people want local option and they're going to have It. If they don't get it now they'll fight for it two years hence. And if they don't get It then they'll fight for it four years from now. They want It and they're going to get it." F. H. Rockwell, a former member of the House from Wellsboro. also hit a popular chord when he declared: "I believe the rank and file of the Republican party of Pennsylvania are heart and hand for thin bill." At 11.30. however, the greatest dem onstration of the morning—and prob ably in the history of Pennsylvania— occurred when the 5,000 Old Glory bearinpr Philadelphians marched Into the hall. The auditorium had long since been crowded to tho gallery railings, but A MEDICINE OF MERIT A proprietary medicine, like every thing else that comes before the pub lic, has to prove its merits. The law of the survival of the fittest applies in this field as in others. The reaqpn for the tremendous success of Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound is because it has been fulfilling a real human need for forty years, so that to day thousands of American women owe their health and happiness to the marvelous power of this famous medi cine, made from roots and herbs—na ture's remedy for woman's ills. —Ad- vertisement. , t APRIL 6, 1915. the long files marched into the aisles, climbed upon the window sills, the steam pipes, while others crowded upon the press tables.
